My basketball vision is different

Rondo has just returned not long ago, and the Celtics' top brass wants to take advantage of his good condition to sell him at a good price and rebuild the team with some potential new stars. This is no longer news.

When the Celtics under the leadership of Danny Ainge encounter poor results, the top management will also play games.

But Brand Stevens knows in his heart that the most promising player for the Celtics right now is the No. 9 player. He is one of the few "brains" left in the league who can control the team's rhythm and charge forward.

"Thigh" level player.

Although he doesn't average many points per game, after spending his rookie period, his current points per game average is no less than 10, not to mention assists and rebounds. One-third of the rebounds are offensive rebounds.

And the steal data that is indispensable for an excellent defender...

In Stevens' mind, such a player is one of the best. If it weren't for the fact that the Pacers' No. 13 is too eye-catching, the Eastern Conference point guard is the "Guide Lang" who has the final say. The Celtics' senior management is out of their minds.

What?

No, as Rivers' successor, Stevens is well aware of Rondo's strengths and weaknesses.

Outsiders are saying that Frank is Lin Shaojie's "puppet." In fact, Stevens knows very well that his master and apprentice are Jinse and Ming, and he, Stevens, has some "presence" in the Celtics.

feeling.

Rondo's golf intelligence on the court is that of a player who can get perfect scores on exams without doing any homework. But it is precisely because of this that it is strange that Rondo, who is proud and complacent, can listen to other people's opinions.

He is so smart that he doesn't even need the coach's guidance.

Stevens does his commanding job "honestly". He only knows that the current Celtics still have the imprint of the past, and it is not yet appropriate for him to truly be in charge.

He could only wait. Anji had already given him a certain amount of time, just waiting for the right time.

Stevens also knew that Ainge actually gave Rondo some time. It was clear that the master and the apprentice should work together, but in fact, the two were playing a game.

This is not a mutually destructive game, but a positive game, at least both of them think so.

After all, in everyone's eyes, the two have a very good relationship and appreciate each other very much.

Moreover, as a "famous coach" among players, the Celtics' coach Long wants to become a coach after finishing his playing career. This information is also known to everyone.

Before and after Lin Shaojie joined the Pacers, Rondo became another giant after the "Big Three", and his "dream" was even more well known.

Even Celtics senior Danny Ainge stood up and said: Rondo is a smart player. There is no doubt that he can see, feel, and understand the game very well, so after he ends his playing career,

He will become a good coach and create his own greatness.

But in fact, it is not common for powerful players to become great coaches. Just like when "Magic" Johnson took charge of the Lakers in the 1993 season, Johnson, who was successful as a player, almost went crazy when he took charge of the team.

"Why can't the players find the loopholes that I can see at a glance? It's hard for me to understand how these people think."

In the end, "Magic" resigned quietly and led the team to a record of 5 wins and 11 losses, of which 11 losses included a ten-game losing streak.

….

This is the bad result after powerful players become coaches. It is difficult for them to understand the thoughts of ordinary people. Just like for Jordan, scoring a goal couldn't be easier. You only need to jump up and wait until the opponent lands before you decide whether to shoot or dunk.

Isn’t this just a matter of having hands?

Lin Shaojie had also heard about "Guide Lang" becoming an excellent coach. Larry Bird and Danny Ainge were old rivals. Since the latter said it, the former would definitely not be at a disadvantage.

And "Big Bird" will only be more exaggerated:

"What, you dare to question my judgment? I tell you, Lynn is far more powerful than Rondo, not only in his career, even after he retires, he will become the greatest coach. This is what I said.

Why?

Very simple, he

He is a smart Oriental. Although there is currently no Oriental in the league who has become an excellent coach, I believe that Linn is the one.

He is so smart, not only on the court, but also off the court. He understands the psychology of players very well and can recognize the gap in strength between each other. He is not like some guys who think that everyone else is like him and can do what he does.

Everything that can be done..."

Larry Bird's extreme praise of Lin Shaojie also made Lin Shaojie a little worried about his life after retirement.

To be honest, he didn't think that far ahead. Although Xie Zhenghe had hoped that he would continue to pursue a career in basketball, the world is so vast. If he retires with success and fame in his thirties, if he is still involved with basketball, a lot of his life will be wasted.

Locking a "ball" would be too boring.

But too many people are looking forward to him. Even the old man of the Spurs, Bobo, has stood up to support such remarks. Could it be that the "old conspirator" of the Spurs also wants to retire as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble in the league?

What about other teams?

After retracting his thoughts, after the game started, Lin Shaojie, who had only faced Rondo ten days ago at TD Garden, seemed cautious this time.

From the beginning of the first quarter, Lin Shaojie stood on the court and began to collide head-on with Rondo, very attentive.

Rondo's body shape is too similar to his own, but he is taller, heavier, and has inherent advantages in strength.

Rondo's long arms and wingspan are completely inconsistent with his body shape, and he is a bug on the back line, but Lin Shaojie is no less good.

Rondo's static talent is second to none among other guards, but he has no advantage in front of Lin Shaojie, a monster with big hands.

Bullying such a person has no psychological burden on Lin Shaojie.

The more "star flavor" the opponent has, the more excited Lin Shaojie becomes.

On the contrary, some opponents only surrendered after losing, which made Lin Shaojie feel a little boring.

Rondo also felt the power of Ruoyouruowu from the opposite side. He knew and heard about it, and Stevens specifically told him about it.

The Pacers' No. 13 will be more comfortable after fighting the same opponent for the second time. He is a player who knows how to size up the situation and seize the opponent's weaknesses.

But now that the Celtics had the ball, Hibbert was careless and allowed the Celtics to get the ball first.

Rondo changed directions several times and failed to find an opportunity to break through or pass the ball. He had been delayed for a long time, and the bad feeling like being dominated by his opponent in the previous game came back again.

….

For other players of the Celtics, their commander Rondo seems to be not going well.

Lin Shaojie's height makes it difficult for Rondo to gain vision, and his arms shaped like "death coils" make it difficult for Rondo to send good passes.

Bayless, who was the coordinator, saw something was not going well and hurried over. Rondo quickly sent the ball out, leaving little time for the Celtics. But as soon as the basketball was released, Rondo yelled:

"not good."

West, who was supposed to retreat to the paint area, rushed over at some point. The work that usually should have been done by George Hill or Paul George was actually snatched away by him, a power forward.

Less than ten seconds into the game, the Celtics committed a turnover.

West's steal caused Lin Shaojie, who was on defense, to run out quickly. Paul George was faster than Lin Shaojie, but West still safely sent the basketball to Lin Shaojie's hands and gradually stopped.

For David West, having two people to attack is enough.

Sure enough, Paul George waited for a pass from his teammate in the opponent's half. Under the transition of offense and defense, the Celtics simply could not stop the impact of the "Indiana Twins".

Paul George, who flew into the air, easily caught the ball and half-turned to complete a dunk.

With his long arms and legs, his movements are graceful.

"ah!"

After landing, Paul George half-clenched his fists and roared vigorously in front of the camera.

Lin Shaojie, who came from behind Paul George, took advantage and slapped him on the big butt drum.

The fans and reporters nearby also laughed "haha".

When the Celtics resumed serving and Rondo advanced with the ball, Stevens' heart sank as he sat off the court.

The game had just begun, and Lin Shaojie's defense against Rondo was airtight, leaving no room for his opponent at all.

The Celtics have no advantage inside, and even players like Green can only float outside, as if they will be torn into pieces if they break into the paint.

In the end, it was Green who received Rondo's "wonderful pass" and hurriedly took action at the last moment.

The outcome of such an attack was obviously predictable.

"Clang!"

Three-point strike!

Hibbert collected the backcourt rebound.

Off the court, Stevens frowned again.

It was too similar to the last game. The Celtics in this game were still unable to open up the situation.

After these two rounds, Rondo's original advantage was really inferior. Fortunately, Humphries, the team's inside general, stood up at this moment. After the Pacers successfully scored a three-pointer in the next round, Henry Humphries

Freese also successfully scored a goal inside.

Not only that, but he also caused a foul on Hibbert.

twenty one.

Stevens, who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, quickly whispered to Rondo who was coming from the sidelines during the timeout.

"Paul George, his injury doesn't seem to be healed. We can focus on this."

Rondo didn't say anything, but responded with his eyes.

But Stevens knew, that smart guy knew how to do it.

Sure enough, Rondo, who was restricted by Lin Shaojie, did not have much room to play, but Bayless was not completely restricted by George Hill.

….

Through Bayless's hands, the Celtics ball quickly passed to Buss on the wing.

Either Buss faced Paul George one-on-one, or he passed it to Humphries in the paint.

Not to mention, except for missing one shot, Humphries hit every shot in the subsequent games. Hibbert was completely unable to stop this guy.

Paul George couldn't guard his opponent, and Humphries was really arrogant behind him.

If Hibbert hadn't taken the initiative to let go of Green when he saw the Celtics finding an offensive opportunity and double-teamed Humphries, Hibbert's "tragedy" might have continued.

The game lasted five minutes, and the Pacers and their opponents were back and forth, but fortunately they still took the initiative.

Paul George, who is returning from injury, is obviously affected on the court.

Halfway through the first quarter, Frank called the first timeout of the game.

Paul George went off, and Stephenson came on in his place, and Hibbert came on.

After being bullied by Humphries for half a quarter, Hibbert had no chance to retaliate. Now he was replaced by the coach, and his replacement was a "sickly" non-mainstream boy - Bynum.

Bynum knew that today was an important moment for him to return to the game, but he did not expect that the Pacers would be so bold. The game was in a stalemate on the court. Paul George was actually sent on by the coach at a time when there was a problem.

.

When he stood on the court with his feet, wearing a somewhat bright yellow jersey, it suddenly gave people the feeling that Bynum was still with the Los Angeles Lakers.

But looking at the "No. 17" on his clothes and the Indiana logo on his chest, and looking at his face that has long since lost its youthfulness, with the regretful stubble left behind.

Time flies, and the young man who followed Kobe Bryant has also reached the end of his career.

Lin Shaojie was standing not far away, watching with emotion after Bynum came on the field.

Different from when he was led by Kobe when he was "young", Bynum is much stronger at this time, his muscle lines are not obvious, and his body feels full of "greasy".

And Bynum's appearance made the Celtics feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Judging from the previous games in the first quarter,

The Pacers had a greater advantage on the outside, but they failed to use it. West was very stable inside, but Hibbert was a little "stretched".

At the end of the game, it was recognized that the best players from both teams were Lin Shaojie of the Pacers and Humphries of the Celtics.

Now that the Pacers have replaced their unsatisfactory inside line and replaced them with a well-known player, the Celtics must of course be careful.

Sure enough, Bynum simply sighed after coming on the court and quickly received a pass from Lin Shaojie in the paint.

After acquiring the basketball, Bynum had to say something from the bottom of his heart.

"Lynn is such a good teammate!"

In fact, the feeling of catching the ball was exactly the same as that on the training field. Humphries, who was leaning behind him, happened to be sideways to defend and did not stand firm.

The moment he caught the ball, Bynum just half-turned and squeezed away from his opponent, gaining a chance to face the frame.

"Clang!"

Without any pause, just half a step away, the leaping Bynum completely pinned Humphries to his side and completed this powerful dunk.

….

"pretty!"

Zhang Weiping from the other side of the ocean said loudly that the former "Kobe" was very familiar with the scene before him. As a child beside Kobe, Bynum was also an important part of the championship that year.

Although the "Little Shark" is not as dominant as the "Big Shark", in today's increasingly declining interior, if Bynum can perform 100%, who else in the league can stop him now?

"The colors of the jerseys are so similar, and the bodies of Coach Lin and Kobe when they were young are very similar. Suddenly, I even thought I was seeing a Lakers game."

Zhang Weiping, who was filled with emotion, almost wiped away tears. After the words of the old commentator came out, the old fans in front of the TV couldn't help but feel their eyes getting hot.

For many people, competitive sports are not something they enjoy after dinner, but a carrier to record their youth. It is the youth and years of their youth, a regret, a helplessness, and a dream to cry out.

Just like the relationship between Kobe and Lin Shaojie, in the eyes of many Kobe fans, in this day when "No. 24" is gradually declining, there is a "No. 13" who appears on the court in a better state than him. Fans He naturally shifted his gaze.

They will feel gratified by the continuation of their youthful memories, and the feeling that the old king has fallen and the new king is about to ascend the throne is particularly strong.

This is why, in the process of popularizing the NBA in the new century, Kobe’s global fans far surpassed LeBron’s fans, but before the advent of the mobile era, Kobe’s was not as good as LeBron’s players. In fact, those people gradually was transferred to Lin Shaojie's body.

People are looking for another player who can carry on their dreams, and then pour all their hopes into that person.

One can imagine how much pressure Lin Shaojie must bear because of this.

Because when he stands on the court, he never represents himself, but the fans who like him.

Maybe not that tall;

Not without that talent;

Maybe...it doesn't have that shape.

But people like to watch this young man with youthful dreams galloping on the court and realizing all their dreams step by step.

Now, Bynum's appearance seems to have ignited the flame of this dream, allowing him to bloom again in his heart.

Even if the previous Pacers encountered a small setback, the record is ahead of them. The fans are not sure whether they can hold it in their hands and not let it go, and continue their pursuit of victory.

That achievement was so amazing and dazzling.

What I can do now is maybe sit quietly in front of the TV, hold back my excitement, and wait until the game is over.

Humphries' previous excellent performance was brought back to his original form after Bynum came on the scene.

Bynum, who had not been on the front line for a long time, was far more experienced than Hibbert, and Humphries was not as talented as him. In addition, Lin Shaojie was assisting him on the outside at this time.

For the first time, Bynum felt that playing basketball was so easy.

During the offense, he only needs to hold his position inside and face Humphries' defense.

It's impossible for the Celtics to miss West, who is part of the Pacers' starting five, and no one dares to be careless about him.

….

So in this way, the living environment inside can't be better for Bynum.

Lin Shaojie's passing is always so considerate. The moment he catches the ball, whether it's a post-up, a dunk or a layup, the opponent has completely set it up in advance.

Just like a pre-set program, passing the ball is the final launch button.

More importantly, West had no intention of taking the lead. There were obviously many opportunities, but most of them were supporting and covering.

At the same time, Lin Shaojie, who is more of an outside threat, is constantly using his abilities to create offensive space for inside players.

Even West himself is doing it.

Bynum, who scored 12 points in just ten minutes of rotation, felt that Lin Shaojie must be the assist leader this season, and that data would be unprecedented.

Because of his shooting and offensive strength, he will attract the attention of two to three defensive players every time. Just pass the ball out and it will be an assist.

Not only that, when the Celtics saw Bynum getting better and better and wanted to shrink the lineup, Lin Shaojie would also take the initiative to attack the inside, forcing the Celtics to pay more attention to him.

Lin Shaojie only needed to show off his talent and "play" some tricks in the air, while Celtic, who was lying on the sidelines, came to surround and block him.

Those big hands also have an exaggerated staying time in the air, making Lin Shaojie who breaks into the inside seem to be able to do whatever he does with ease.

Attacking or passing the ball, almost all depends on the thought of No. 13.

Bynum has never felt so comfortable shooting or dunking. Anyway, he has not enjoyed it for too long since leaving the Lakers.

And compared to his time with the Lakers, Lin Shaojie's temper was better than Kobe's, which made Bynum feel very comfortable.

At the end of the midfield game, the Pacers, playing at home, ended the first half with a 56-40 lead, leading their opponents by 16 points.

My vision is different.
