My basketball vision is different

Chapter 394: The Lucky One

Mullens has become a "heretic" on the court. As a substitute inside player, Gobert's defensive ability is definitely top among rookies, but he cannot leave the paint area and run to the outside to defend his big man.

Maybe this is "heresy," and no one thought that the person who saved the 75ers in the end would be a player sitting on the bench who had been wandering since entering the league.

You know, Byron Mullens is also a newcomer who recently joined the 75ers. When he was with the Clippers, he only averaged 6 minutes of playing time per game and averaged 2 points and 1 rebound per game.

Now he is such a big man, and he has saved 75 people.

75ers coach Brett Brown, who was sitting off the court, was overjoyed.

Faced with this "unexpected" situation, the Pacers could only adopt tactics similar to the opponent's, and they played back and forth on the court.

When the halftime ended and the game changed sides in the second half, and Lin Shaojie came on again, Mullens actually wanted to repeat his old tricks.

But Lin Shaojie didn't give the substitute center such a chance at all. Just when Mullens showed such intention and was just about to lift the basketball over his waist, Lin Shaojie suddenly stretched out his hand one step away.

As fast as lightning.

Before Mullens could react, he felt a shock in his hand, and then No. 13 on the opposite side ran out like a gust of wind.

"Steal!"

Li Dacheng stood up in the audience and shouted loudly: "That's it, Xiao Linzi did a great job."

The reporters around him also had red faces. They were fiddling with the cameras in their hands to see if there was any problem, and at the same time they had to pay attention to the form on the field.

Mullens, who scored 15 points as a substitute in the first half, was the 75ers' biggest variable. Now this "variable" made a mistake and was then made an excellent steal by Lin Shaojie.

Then all the efforts will be in vain.

The on-site director was very interesting. He immediately focused the camera on Mullens on the court and coach Brett Brown sitting off the court.

Mullens just pretended to defend, looking embarrassed;

As an old white man, Coach Brown was expressionless at this time. Everyone could see that his hard-earned hope was interrupted by the opponent.

Damn Pacers, damn No. 13!

Coach Brown, whose heart sank, turned to look at the opponent's coach. That lucky guy named Frank was really enviable!

When he first entered the league, he happened to meet Danny Granger at his peak. His popularity among fans was slightly lower, but his unpretentious style was the favorite of academic coaches;

After Granger's "injury", not only did Paul George take over the position of "Son of Yincheng", but also No. 13 from China came out, shocking the entire league.

If anyone is the luckiest head coach in the league, it might have been Popovich before the 21st century. Under those circumstances, he could still get the No. 1 pick and use it for many years.

So after the twenty-first century, the luckiest person is the Frank in front of him, Frank Vogel.

With Lin Shaojie's style of play, if the Pacers can use it carefully, let alone the glorious record of the three consecutive dynasties, they will at least be a strong contender for the championship every year. As long as such a player is used as the core to match the lineup, the Pacers will not win in ten years.

worry.

On the court, Lin Shaojie, who had completed the steal, faced 75 people who wanted to defend. He passed them all in one go, and no one was his enemy in the first round.

He treated the opponent like a piece of grass and cut down at will. Finally, an unpretentious low-flying layup ended the attack.

The fans at the scene booed. They felt that Linn was teasing them. Everyone wanted to see the other's dunks, but in the end, the first game ended with such a dull ending, which was really frustrating.

Fortunately, Mullens on the court once again gave everyone this opportunity, and the 75ers also wanted to try again.

In the same place, with the same move, when Mullens was determined to shoot again, Lin Shaojie reached out halfway again and completed the steal.

Mullens, who turned around and wanted to reach out to stop the foul, only touched the corner of Lin Shaojie's clothes, but the piece of clothing could not stop the galloping "fast horse."

Even if the 75ers' players were prepared to fail, facing Lin Shaojie's concise and effective movements, that kind of change of direction in front of the body was almost a killer.

What about McCaw, what about Thaddeus Young, all of them were dumbfounded and had been completely beaten.

This time, Lin Shaojie did not disappoint all the fans. He soared into the air within a foot's distance from the free throw line. His entire body shrank into a ball and did not fully stretch out until mid-air.

That kind of extremely strong core strength and impact allowed Lin Shaojie to complete a half-turn reverse dunk in the air at an eye-catching angle, with a rainbow-like figure!

"Clang!"

The dull sound was like a thunderbolt, shaking people's ears.

The majestic figure in the air was in sharp contrast with the lightness of the sky when it landed. The fans stood up one by one and shouted loudly.

"mvp!"

"mvp!"

"mvp!"

Well, for everyone, there is only one person on the court at this moment, and all other players are the foil of that number 13.

Coach Brown, like other colleagues, called the first timeout after the start of the second half, less than 1 minute before the game restarted.

Everyone knows that there is no point in continuing the game.

From the first ball that Mullens intercepted, the 75ers completely lost hope of winning.

Li Dacheng and his team followed other fans on the court and cheered. In this league where the strong are always strong, there is no doubt about the strength of the Pacers. It is absolutely impossible for a team like the 75ers, who are at the bottom of the league, to make a comeback against the trend.

The subsequent game was like entering the Pacers' magical realm. It was difficult for the 75 players to do anything. Coach Brown still wanted to try to struggle. After all, the game was only half-time.

But in the third quarter alone, Lin Shaojie got 6 steals and 6 blocks on the demoralized 75ers players... plus the previous data, after three quarters, Lin Shaojie's data is likely to be higher.

Got four pairs at once.

Brett Brown has realized his decision-making mistakes and began to remove the main players one after another. Frank also did the same, but the fans in the audience refused to let go. No matter who was replaced, even Paul George was removed.

OK, but they won't allow Lin Shaojie to end the game.

This is a rare scene, a brilliant record of four double-doubles in two consecutive games, and Pacers fans want to enjoy it all.

At the end of the third quarter, Frank unexpectedly received a message from his assistant coach. He looked into the box as if he had received a response.

"Lynn, how about...you go up and play for a while in the fourth quarter?"

When they heard this, all the players looked at No. 13 with admiration.

Lin Shaojie was stunned for a second, then followed Frank's gaze and looked over.

"good!"

Li Dacheng thought that this game was another anticlimactic, which made him feel uncomfortable with his obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, when the fourth quarter began, except for the Pacers who sent Lin Shaojie as a starter, all other players were substitutes.

He knew it wasn't that simple.

The score of 80 to 57 on the court was no longer in doubt, and the point difference was beyond the Pacers' "safety line." There was no need for Lin Shaojie to play.

But when he saw Lin Shaojie again, as if Frank had opened the net under the call of the fans, Li Dacheng was the first to jump up.

He knew that letting Lin Shaojie play at this time must be with a record-breaking mission.

Brett Brown's teeth are almost crushed.

"Disgusting, disgusting."

Yes, everyone has seen it. 75 people have already surrendered. Why do the Pacers still use their big killer? Is it because the number 13 on the opposite side is one steal short and three blocks short?

What?

Do you really think 75 people are easy to bully?

"It's okay to lose, but you can't give your opponents steals and blocks, do you understand?"

The players who were already standing on the court, listening to Brett Brown's loud shouting, understood everything.

But then listen to the voices of the fans at the scene.

"Steal, steal, steal..."

Elliott Williams' hands were shaking a little when he was holding the ball. He knew that he came on the field with a mission, which was to kill this damn garbage time.

Seeing Lin Shaojie's intention to make an impact, Williams didn't want his career to be ruined in the opponent's hands.

Williams was a first-round pick in 2010. Although he did not enter the lottery, he was at least a first-round pick, which is pretty good.

But from the beginning, his path to the NBA was not smooth, and now he is one of the unbeatable substitute players for the 75ers.

Faced with Lin Shaojie's wolf-like behavior, Williams shook his hand and passed the ball to one of Lin's defenders, Luo Teng and Tony Luo Teng. Williams did not want to face that abnormal guy.

As a rookie in 2012, Luo Teng was also a first-round pick.

However, all the rookies in 2012 lived under the shadow of No. 13. The most overlooked draft year produced a lot of "good stuff," but it also had a lot of dross.

Ever since he was traded to the 75ers by the Grizzlies, Luo Teng vowed to stand firm.

Judging from the current data, even if Luo Teng is a substitute, his performance is considered acceptable, but he still has some self-awareness when facing Lin Shaojie.

After receiving the pass, Luo Teng's "one goal to become famous" mentality and his understanding of reality made him hesitate slightly. In this pause of less than one second, Lin Shaojie was already standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Damn it, what are you doing, passing the ball!"

Brett Brown never thought that this player who performed well on the bench could be qualified to defeat the Pacers' No. 13.

How can he alone handle a player that even Thaddeus Young and McAwee would suffer together?

Sure enough, Lin Shaojie's airtight defense prevented the hesitant Luo Teng from finding any space to pass the ball. It seemed that his teammates could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

The intentional and unintentional body movements interfered all the time, and the long arms even blocked Luo Teng's shooting possibilities.

"Breakthrough!"

After making up his mind and seeing that the opponent was relatively close to him, Luo Teng didn't even have time to lower his center of gravity. The ball in his hand was just placed on his waist to prepare for the next move.

The ghost-like big hand stretched out and, under Luo Teng's incredible gaze, grabbed the basketball head-on.

Luo Teng, who was holding the ball in both hands, never imagined that when that huge force came, he would be so humiliated by his opponent in a head-on confrontation. Those big hands were welded to the basketball like a soldering iron, and they were easily snatched away from his side.

Basketball.

Arrogant;

domineering!

For all the fans, in just a blink of an eye, the 75ers player seemed to have been sent to the door, and Lin Shao completed a one-handed steal.

Lin Shaojie, who squeezed away the offensive player, instantly gained the advantage of changing positions on offense and defense. As Stephenson ran, you could feel him "wagging his tail!"

Soon, a long pass from Lin Shaojie allowed Stephenson to enjoy the treatment of Paul George. Although he was not as graceful as Lin Shaojie when he soared into the air, nor was he as crisp as Paul George.

But it's easy to score a dunk for the home fans.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

Stephenson landed on the ground and twisted his body wildly. Not to mention, he was a bit ugly, but he had a strong sense of rhythm. Several teammates who came up were beside him, caressing his big head one by one.

brain.

"Block, block, block..."

But for the fans, they don't want to see this ugly guy's performance. Lin Shaojie, who has already broken double figures in steals, now only has blocks.

When the Pacers are bound to win the game, Lin Shaojie's quadruple-double is their top priority.

The 75ers players obviously understood all this.

Only Luo Teng, who was intercepted, was ashen-faced. This damn sense of oppression made him afraid to face the coach.

"Continue to break through!"

Brett Brown yelled loudly, since Lin Shaojie doesn't pay attention to steal statistics anyway, so just don't shoot in front of him.

Luo Teng seemed to understand, and he felt a little more confident in his actions in the next round.

But it was really difficult to face Lin Shaojie's breakthrough. The opponent's body seemed to be made of iron, and he couldn't squeeze out of the way. He always managed to get a firm foothold first with his lateral steps. Luo Teng didn't even have any space to break through, and finally had to pass the ball.

To Varnado inside.

Also a rookie in 2012, Jarvis Varnado is quite envious of Byron Mullens' "brilliant" statistics during his time as a substitute.

As a little-known second-round pick, after being selected by a strong team like the Heat, Varnado became a player in the trading center and was traded to the Celtics. Varnado said it was impossible not to be angry.

After all, he was being used as a bargaining chip.

Fortunately, the Heat lacked big men inside, and he was actually sent back to the Heat by the Celtics half a season later.

However, he only played less than 10 games with the Heat, and then was given up. Until the beginning of this season, there were still 75 players wandering around in the Bulls.

This kind of player who has never had a chance since entering the league needs playing time far more than others.

He has not enjoyed any high-quality benefits, high salary, or stable playing time. Compared with those players who can wander around the league for many years, his living environment is even worse.

Except for his height, he doesn't seem to have any talent. The limited playing time limits his performance. That is to say, after reaching 75 players this season, his average playing time only exceeded 10 minutes per game, and then he averaged 4 points and 2 rebounds per game.

data.

Even for such a player with a gloomy future, he also wants to shine and gain more leverage in the coach's mind.

But the reality is even crueler. He tried his best to squeeze Gobert away and gained a tiny bit of shooting space, but before Varnado could start "flying", a figure appeared like a visitor from outside the world.

"Bang!"

The dull sound seemed to have ruined Varnado's basketball dream. A six-foot-nine player was serving as the backup center for the 75ers. All his advantages were of no use in front of Lin Shaojie.

He weighs less than 10 kilograms more than Lin Shaojie, which makes him look like a "thin bamboo pole" and has become Lin Shaojie's "dead soul in the palm of his hand."

"This damn guy!"

Brett Brown didn't know what to say. He watched these players knowing what their opponents wanted to do, but they still had the guts to attack them. In just three minutes, the fans at the scene started to second thoughts.

shouted every time.

"mvp!"

"mvp!"

"mvp!"

...

"Is this interesting?"

Coach Brown felt bored. Fortunately, Lin Shaojie, who finally raised his block number to 10, was immediately replaced by Frank.

The rest of the players played in a dull manner on the court. Everyone understood that there was no life-or-death hatred between each other. The point difference was already 40 points, so there was no need to offend anyone anymore.

Lin Shaojie returned to the bench and was photographed one by one by his teammates. Coach Frank even stood up and hugged his beloved disciple. The scene in front of the camera was so beautiful that no one cared how embarrassing the opponent 75 people were.

If this was the home court of the 75ers, the fans would be ready to leave!

"It's over, the game is over!"

The host in front of the commentary desk shouted loudly and urgently when Lin Shaojie came off the stage.

"The Pacers sent the 75ers on a 19-game losing streak. I don't know how many more games the 75ers will lose in the future. Maybe this is unfair to the weak teams, but I want to tell them that this is reality."

The beautiful country is accustomed to shouting slogans, and even more so that everyone is equal, but everyone understands that this is the most unequal country, whether it is people or teams.

Rich people are nobles, and people without money are nothing.

Look at those teams from big ball markets. They have money and they can attract those players with high salaries. Even if the Big Apple's record is like shit, there is still no doubt about its attraction to stars.

, even if you join such a team, you will easily be cast aside.

But look at the stars who have rushed into the embrace of the Big Apple. Even some famous coaches are proud to coach in the Big Apple.

Money or no money are two different concepts. If a small ball market wants to turn around, there is almost no other way except relying on the draft to accumulate stars. However, there are not many teams that can endure loneliness. The kind of team that lowers its head and settles in secret.

Energy, people of insight who hope to explode once, are still a minority in this alliance.

And there are only a few who can get the lucky lottery! Only the lucky ones who are favored by God have this opportunity, such as: Pacers!
