My basketball vision is different

This was not Gasol's first visit to the Lin family's mansion, but this time he felt new changes.

Compared with the courtyard in Los Angeles that combines work and living, the Lin family's main residence in Indianapolis is full of the warmth of "home".

Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Su Zhen's family took a child with them and said, "Hey, yeah," Gasol's originally a little irritable heart disappeared instantly.

After the renovation and expansion, the Lin's house also has a few more guest rooms, so there is no need for Gasol to stay in a hotel at night.

When he walked into the courtyard earlier, he had seen the children's facilities on the wide lawn, as well as some withered turf. In a few months, it would be green and green, and then families could take their children to play there.

Maybe the children nearby can also laugh and laugh together.

With the warm lighting in the room, the delicacies full of fireworks, and the lack of oil and salt, Pau Gasol did not reject this dinner, which was somewhat different from the West.

The Spanish family atmosphere and love for offal, plus the ham from China, etc., all made Gasol miss his hometown a little.

Su Guosheng had been in Beautiful Country for a long time. He came here in time for the New Year. He originally thought that he would just visit his grandson and went back, but after landing, he felt a little reluctant to leave.

The main reason is that he has worked hard for half his life, and his contribution is not proportional to his income. Now that his daughter's family is harmonious, he can also entertain his grandchildren. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

As the CEO who is away from home gets older, he starts to have some thoughts of retiring and wants to take on the responsibilities of "father" and "grandfather".

Besides, what kind of person Lin Shaojie is, his wife can see more clearly than he does. People at such an old age are not as changeable as children.

The temptations encountered in a place like the beautiful country are far better than those in China. What kind of romance have I not seen?

After seeing too much and being tempted too much, it was not easy to stick to one's heart. Su Guosheng felt that his daughter had found a good partner, and his worries were completely relieved.

I recall that I almost beat the couple with a stick, and I'm still a little scared now. Fortunately, I didn't do it, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to face my in-laws now.

Both Lin and Su's families knew about Gasol's arrival.

Moreover, Gasol and Lin Shaojie have known each other since they were in London.

At that time, Lin Shaojie was still a non-staff "social" member who was responsible for conveying the beauty of China. Gasol was a good lubricant. After all, Lin Shaojie at that time only had appearance and no reputation.

It was after London that Lin Shaojie became famous in Europe.

After all, he is a player who can score points against the father of a beautiful country. Even if he loses, it is an honor. People just admire this kind of "tragic" hero. The most important thing is that Lin Shaojie is so handsome!

The little tennis queen was almost chasing after her. The Sun newspaper also wrote several series about old cows eating young grass, but it was a pity that it didn’t happen in the end. They are now friends on Twitter, and they are exchanging business blows.

kind.

Gasol, who was in the London tour, helped Lin Shaojie a lot, with a sense of courtesy and affection. Lin Shaojie's actions today also have a sense of reward.

After dinner, "husband and wife" Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen held their children in their arms and walked around Lin's house with Gasol.

The main building has a few more rooms, but it is not like those mansions, which often have more than ten or twenty houses. In addition to being more spacious, the function is very simple, that is, it can entertain guests and make it convenient to live and live.

On the contrary, it was the expanded auxiliary building that made Gasol's eyes shine.

One is the gym. Gasol also took the opportunity to give it a try. Everyone is a veteran at the training ground and is very familiar with this.

The equipment is large and complete, almost like a small fitness center, extremely professional, and there are also some fitness equipment built by Lin Shaojie himself, which is of the "private customization" type.

The other is Lin Shaojie or the favorite tool room of the man in the family.

Only when you come to the beautiful country can you realize how stingy the people here are. Men who have a sense of responsibility are very capable of doing things.

In addition to his professional field, Lin Shaojie also learned from his neighbors. Because of his financial strength, the Lin family's "tool room" could be called a "workshop." It was not only a large place, but also fully equipped with all kinds of equipment.

Anyway, it made Gasol a little reluctant to leave after watching it, and he wanted to get one at home.

Although this is a player from a wealthy family, a medical background, and a good piano player, who is not a big boy?

I have an innate love for these "bottles, jars, jars, tinkling bells and clanking" things!

Lin Shaojie also said that many of the gadgets at home are now made by himself. Many of the equipment in the gym are made this way, as well as those in the children's room at home, including beds, mattresses, small tables and chairs, all made by Lin Shaojie and

The two fathers did it.

Whether it's worth the money or not is one thing, what matters is the love!

That scary big hand with a high shooting percentage on the basketball court is also a good hand at work.

At the end of the night, the harmonious atmosphere of the Lin family drove away the gloom in Gasol's heart.

Lying on the moderately soft mattress, Gasol rarely rested so well.

In the world outside the window, the reporters who stayed in Polis waiting for news had long edited the scenes that happened at the airport into stories and sent them out one by one.

"Lynn shows up as a friend!"

"The Lakers general was shocked!"

"Lynn competing for the Lakers forward?"

"Is Gasol's next club confirmed?"

There are endless headlines like this. Whether it is true or false, the game between the Pacers and the Lakers was highly hyped before the game.

Kobe, who was recuperating in Los Angeles, was confused. He had nothing to do with the relationship. How could Lin Shaojie, who had promised to only "love" him, change his relationship?

Anyway, when Kobe called his teammates to inquire, his teammates responded to him like this:

"Lynn's face didn't look good, but Mike (D'Antoni) still agreed. The reporter took a lot of pictures, but I guess even if Mike didn't agree, Lynn would pick up Paul (Gasol)...

..”

As the face of the Lakers, Kobe was very aware of the team's senior leadership. Not to mention Lin Shaojie taking over Gasol, it didn't matter if he took over Kobe.

There is no actual dispute between the two sides in this game. Whether they are first or second last does not affect the friendly atmosphere between the two parties at all.

At the moment, the Lakers just want to make a good sale to their opponents. If Lin Shaojie can enter the free market, the Lakers will have more hope, right?

At the moment, the Lakers can't even put together a guard lineup, so they're forced to play. What's there to look forward to in a game like this?

Early the next morning, Gasol quickly returned to the team, and he also brought the news revealed by Lin Shaojie.

"Lynn played a maximum of twenty minutes in this game!"

For the Lakers players, this is good news, but why is the feeling of being insulted so strong? If Kobe was here, No. 13 would not only play for 20 minutes, but probably play the entire game.

Anyway, he and Kobe played on the court as if they were just having fun, and there was nothing serious about it. Even the top management of the Lakers even acquiesced in this behavior and secretly told the coaches not to stop it.

It's a pity that Kobe can't play right now.

For D'Antoni, this is good news, at least he won't lose too badly.

If the Lakers can defeat the Pacers, this is something that is unthinkable. The strength gap between the two sides is too big. Let alone Lynn, if it were anyone else, he would now be the guard that the Lakers dream of.

The battle relies entirely on the forward players. Even if Gasol is strong, he can't beat the "wolf pack" of the Pacers!

Apart from Gasol, what else do the Lakers have now?

Nick Young is also injured. Currently, the most relied upon player on the back line is Kent Bazemore, the substitute called up from the Warriors.

A temporary fire fighter.

Another Meeks was also a substitute player for the Lakers last season. Now he has been promoted to the core position. His scoring average has increased from less than 10 points to the current level of 15, which gives people some hope.

Marshall is also a player from the Suns. Taking advantage of the Lakers' lack of guards, he grabbed many starting positions.

In fact, among the abilities of these guards, they are all players who are more offensive than organizational. When it comes to sorting out the team, D'Antoni has no one to use.

When the game started in the afternoon, D'Antoni thought carefully and sent out a three-guard lineup, with Gasol and Wesley Johnson standing in the paint as forward players.

The overall height of the Lakers' lineup dropped instantly.

But in order to block No. 13 on the opposite side, D'Antoni had to make this move.

Bynum was sitting off the court, not knowing what he was thinking. In the footage before the official game, Nick Young also appeared on the screen. In the interview, he expressed his blessings to Bynum and Evan Turner.

As players who have fought together in the 75ers, each is now his own boss.

Of course, Bynum never played a game with the 75ers, and Nick Young, as a teammate, could only meet him at the training ground, but their previous relationship was not bad, and they were not the kind of enemies who would never get along with each other.

So Bynum fully accepted Nick Young's blessing.

In particular, Nick Young said in an interview that the Pacers will defend the championship this season because they have Bynum and Turner as supplements.

Bynum was very excited after hearing these words. This little brother of his is very good at life.

I just don’t know if the Lakers front office will give him shoes to wear.

Another client, Evan Turner, felt a little regretful.

He didn't know it if he didn't come to the Pacers, but after he came, he discovered that the atmosphere in the Pacers team is really good and the team is really strong.

Regardless of the main force, there are a lot of experts on the bench. It is no wonder that they can achieve their current results, and their rise last season is also natural.

He knows very well what kind of environment the 75ers are in. So many players have left this season, including Nick Young. Coach Brown has almost failed to improve the team.

These players who left the quagmire of the 75ers have more or less been reborn.

Of course, Evan Turner affirmed the atmosphere within the Pacers, but if he wants to secure his position as the first substitute, all he has to do now is defeat Stephenson.

Evan Turner has this confidence.

On the one hand, the presence of Lin Shaojie has greatly reduced the demand for point guards in the Pacers' starting lineup. However, as the recent games have become intense, the Pacers also need such a player on the bench.

Both Stephenson and George Hill were unqualified, and this was the day Evan Turner came into his own.

A point guard who is over 6 feet 7 tall, isn’t he a modern magician!

And from the few words in the team, Turner judged that Stephenson was not as popular as outside rumors. At least in the eyes of the Pacers' senior management, Stephenson has not renewed his contract so far, but has continued to work with the team.

He jumped inside and wanted to seek a big contract, which gave Turner a lot of illusions.

After all, the Pacers are not a rich team. According to their next operation, Evan Turner and his business team have estimated that Stephenson wants to win a contract worth more than 10 million, but there is almost no such thing.

possible.

But Stephenson seems to have no self-awareness. After playing well for half a season, he already regards himself as a player with an annual salary of tens of millions. Sometimes he even stands "arrogantly" on top of George Hill to show his arrogance, but in a few games

The game has revealed Stephenson's true colors and no longer attempts to challenge George Hill's position.

Evan Turner didn't know whether it was because the atmosphere within the Pacers was so good that Stephenson couldn't feel it, or because Stephenson didn't realize it and was chewing the line to death.

Among them, Lin Shaojie's attitude is undoubtedly the most important. As long as the Pacers want to renew Lin Shaojie's contract, they will definitely meet all the needs of the locker room boss.

Nowadays, Lin Shaojie has never expressed his opinion on this matter. He just keeps reducing his playing time and giving Stephenson more opportunities to get data.

Evan Turner felt that there were too many things worth learning here.

sign?

Still not signing?

Anyway, Evan Turner knows that in order to be successful, you need to be strong yourself. Nowadays, the Pacers need a player with organizational skills to step up and perform during the substitute period, so he is ready for this.

As for what other people think, as long as it doesn't affect you, that's fine.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins.

For the Pacers, Lin Shaojie did not sit down and watch the game this time, but started the game with his teammates.

The Pacers' starting five appeared at Conseco Arena, facing the Lakers' incomplete lineup, which also made the fans at the scene cheer.

Gasol defeated Hibbert in the jump ball, and the Lakers allowed Bazemore to score from the mid-range shot in the opening game. After the transition from offense to defense, Lin Shaojie assisted Paul George and returned the opponent's 2-pointer.

When the Lakers kicked off again, Bazemore wanted to repeat his old trick. When he took the shot, Lin Shaojie hit the ball hard, making a dull sound.

"Yes, Lynn, that's it, you have to kick their butts hard."

Coming from the "cornfield", Pacers fans have a more or less philistine mentality, and they always have some bad fantasies against "lonely aristocrats" like the Lakers.

Just like meeting the eldest daughter of a down-and-out aristocratic family, these new rich people always want to be her guests and ravage her severely.

This is the situation now. Kobe can't appear on the scene, and there is a lot less to watch. It's like a young lady who is malnourished. Without the capital of lordosis (rear) curvature, the washboard figure makes people feel a little less.

The taste is not enough to fully enjoy it.

However, with Lin Shaojie's steal, the Lakers fell into the Pacers' tight defense after the opening game. They did not score for a long time.

If it weren't for the Pacers' average touch during this period, the Lakers would have set an embarrassing record.

For six minutes, the Lakers did not score a point. It was not until 6 minutes and 52 seconds that Gasol broke the deadlock with a hook and helped the Lakers get their fourth point.

At this time, the Pacers' score had reached 19 points.

In less than 7 minutes, the Pacers, who were playing at home, already led by 15 points.

Lin Shaojie felt a little boring.

3 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks.

Such comprehensive data almost crushed 80% of the opposing players.

Except for Gasol, including striker Wesley Johnson, all the Lakers players were harassed by Lin Shaojie, and the result was such a disparity in scores.

Johnson, who is only six feet seven inches tall, is not as threatening as Paul George in front of Lin Shaojie.

The Lakers' lineup is the worst that Lin Shaojie has ever seen, even worse than the Jazz they defeated previously.

The Jazz could still put together a complete lineup, but the Lakers were so miserable that they didn't even have a complete lineup.

If the media is talking about the Lakers' lack of defenders, but D'Antoni forcefully sent out three defenders in this game, is it the end of a strong effort to make a show of appearance?

So what's going on with the Lakers' forward line? It's a completely unimpressive performance.

In addition to Gasol, an unconventional center, can Johnson be used as a power forward?

Lin Shaojie himself didn't believe it.

He competed for the rebound in front of Johnson and Gasol, and then passed it to West beside him.

Seeing that the opponent was defeated by West's dunk and then had to send a free throw, Johnson's presence was almost a shame for the striker.

As expected, the dull Lin Shaojie lost interest, and Frank immediately made extensive adjustments after the game.

George Hill has also played too many minutes recently and was replaced at the same time.

Stephenson and Evan Turner, plus Paul George, Scola, and Gobert are back in the lineup.

West was still mumbling when he left the game, saying he didn't feel happy.

When encountering a team like the Lakers, everyone wants to have a great time. After all, there are not many opportunities to beat the giants.

Evan Turner, who came on the field, did his duty. His debut period had already passed, and he knew that Frank's team had to take into account both offense and defense, which was in line with his expectations.

And compared to Stephenson who simply relies on talent to play, Evan Turner also learned humbly when he came to the Pacers. Anyway, he "stole" a lot of lessons from Lin Shaojie.

After Evan Turner came on the court, he discovered that the "power forward" Wesley Johnson on the opposite side, who was not off the court, was the same height as him and even inferior to him in terms of strength.

Evan Turner, who changed his position in an instant, began to continuously attack the inside, and then took the opportunity to pass the ball.

The method of breaking through and distributing the ball allowed Scola, who was cooperating with him, to quickly find the feel. Paul George also benefited from this.

On the contrary, Stephenson encountered some problems on the outside. He was somewhat uncomfortable facing the Lakers' three guards.

The Lakers showed that he is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, which makes his passing threat from the outside plummet. After all, he is not that kind of talented passer and is recognized as a strong offensive and weak assist.

During this period, Evan Turner's performance was eye-catching. Stephenson, who couldn't open up the situation, simply tried this trick and went straight inside.

If you can shoot, shoot, if you can't shoot, grab it and shoot yourself.

It can be said that during this period, Stephenson was an expert in chaotic battles and beat the Lakers to the point of death.

After half the game, Evan Turner scored 8 points and 4 assists, which was very eye-catching.

Stephenson only had 6 points and 1 assist.

Scola and Paul George scored 11 and 12 points respectively, and their statistics were equally outstanding.

The Lakers' lineup also showed serious unsuitability when facing the Pacers' lineup dominated by substitutes.
