My basketball vision is different

"Fuck, something like this happened at a critical moment."

"Who says it's not the case? This is a critical moment for defending the title, so why are there internal strife?"

As the news of "Pacers internal strife" spread, the news spread like a tornado throughout the league and back to the country.

That night, Lin Shaojie received a call from Xie Zhenghe and other close people. They all expressed concerns about the Pacers' path to the playoffs.

It also took Lin Shaojie a lot of time to explain. As soon as the call was hung up, Kobe Bryant's call came in.

Corvo has been alone this season. Apart from recovering, taking care of his body, and giving birth to his son, there is nothing important to do. All ideas will have to wait until next season to be realized.

Now that the Lakers have been eliminated, Gasol has officially entered the countdown to leave. It is not yet certain where he will go next season. Of course, there are many interested teams, just like when the conflict between Hibbert and the Pacers exploded.

, some unconscious teams immediately stood up and expressed interest in Hibbert.

Not to mention, at a time when big players like this are rare, Hibbert can at least be considered a hot commodity.

The Pacers have been enjoying glory all season and are about to enter a critical moment. Everyone wants to take a bite of him, especially as the Pacers' next opponent, the Atlanta Hawks' front office and coaching staff have begun to follow his lead.

Talked about it.

"I think Hibbert is very suitable for the Hawks' tactics. He is a powerful player who can hold up a sky inside. He is also an indispensable member of the Pacers..."

Everyone knows what it means to talk about running for the train and throwing money away.

The Pacers, who have the home court advantage, still hope to win the opponent within four rounds if possible. If too much energy is consumed in the first round, it will have a great impact on the road to defending the title.

But as the head coach of the Hawks, it is a bit annoying for Mike Budenholzer to make such baseless news before the game.

The old commander's behavior of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred is almost adding fuel to the fire.

"Now you know how annoying the internal strife in the team is, right?"

Kobe was ridiculed as "having no official position and being light-hearted", but Lin Shaojie was not afraid.

"What does this mean? It's just a center. We still have Mahinmi and Gobert!"

"Do you expect a substitute and a rookie?"

"I don't have high demands on them. Just don't let some teams act recklessly in the paint. They have enough time to show their abilities."

"You are being harsh, but I have a good idea. If you don't want Hibbert, how about you consider our Lakers?"

After talking for a long time, Lin Shaojie never thought that Corvo actually wanted to take advantage of the situation.

You know, Hibbert can be said to be a capable center in the Eastern Conference. At least he can show off his skills against the Heat.

"You can't offer a suitable price."

"Indeed, but as long as you are interested in selling, we don't mind three-party or even four-party transactions. You will always be satisfied."

"I want Paul (Gasol), how about it?"

Lin Shaojie's words put Kobe in a difficult position, because they knew that what determines a player's fate is not just the overall strength of the team, but also the will of the league's top brass.

Gasol is "very old" but his strength is still there. If the rotation is reasonable, he will definitely be able to achieve efficient efficiency by controlling his playing time to about 20 minutes per game.

If such a champion player travels eastward, the league's front office will never simply agree, because it may mean that the Pacers have made up for the last shortcoming, and other teams will have nothing to play with.

...

Hibbert previously thought that this matter was not a big deal. According to Lin Shaojie's usual practice, as long as he performs well, time will resolve everything. At most, he will be a little high.

But with the end of the last game against the Magic, three days of rest and two days of team training, Hibbert did not receive a pass from Lin Shaojie, and even Paul George did not pass a pass to him.

Hibbert, who felt completely isolated, had nowhere to talk about his suffering.

When he came back and complained to his agent, Hibbert was even scolded in the face.

"Are you stupid? Don't you know what time it is now? The core of any team will have internal strife when the playoffs are about to begin. Do you think your career is long enough, or is your performance surprising?

Amazing?"

Hibbert's agent said this.

After Hibbert returned from Orlando, he accepted team punishment from the Pacers.

Fines and suspensions are, of course, all internal decisions and do not involve penalties from the league, so the initiative is in the hands of the Pacers.

However, Lin Shaojie did not pass the ball to Hibbert on the training field, and even Paul George took the initiative to draw a clear line. This problem became more serious.

"Do you know how much voice Lynn has in the Pacers? Gobert is not a player selected by the front office, but a player selected by him. Your behavior is almost provoking him. Don't you know?

?”

Hibbert wanted to say something else, but his agent quickly stopped him.

"I know everything about the past two days, and I didn't let you read the news outside. I just hope you have a good attitude to face the next game. No matter how the team arranges for you, you just need to be 100%

Just execute it, otherwise we'll be in big trouble."

"What's the trouble? Are you really not letting me play?"

"You won't be allowed to play?"

The agent looked at this stupid guy with crooked eyes:

"Not letting you play is the lightest punishment. You don't know how much trouble you have caused. Don't think that just because you have the second highest salary in the team, you are an indispensable member of the Pacers. Your current data is

It's much better than the Frenchman, but the efficiency value is not much higher, and the Frenchman is younger and more energetic.

And Mahinmi, and even David (West) can stay in the paint for a while. You offended Lynn and Paul (George) together, you know? You may lose your starting position, or even

You may be kicked off the team and you are no longer an indispensable member.

You now need to use your actions to apologize to them and make up for your mistakes..."

Hibbert didn't even think that he just wanted to prove his presence and bully the rookie, why couldn't he do it?

Those "seniors" in the past, who didn't come here like this? Isn't it very common for the boy carrying the bag to be scolded and bullied?

If it was just this matter, that would be fine. The agent knew exactly what the problem was.

After returning to Indiana to participate in training, Hibbert was originally the focus of the team's protection and was not allowed to accept interviews with reporters. However, I don't know if he was oppressed so hard that he actually yelled at the reporters through the group of teammates.

One sentence.

"He is a tyrant. We all have to listen to him. Whoever he wants not to play will not play..."

At that moment, a different flush appeared on the reporters' faces.

Excited and excited, Hibbert almost broke the news.

Before Hibbert could finish his words, West covered his mouth, and then a group of people pushed and shoved the big man back to the training base.

Hibbert was enjoying the last sideline seat alone, like a boss, and everyone, including the coaching staff, was separated from him.

Hibbert's agent even suspected that the team's punishment was due to this incident.

Since then, Hibbert has never received a pass from Lin Shaojie in training. His teammates even walked carefully to see if he was around.

These two days made Hibbert feel as if he had spent the last two days in the cold winter.

"Apologize?"

Hibbert didn't want to do this. He felt that he could still struggle a little, and the Pacers couldn't do without him.

But the news about the Pacers has been overwhelming. Lin Shaojie's "ball domination" style has been constantly mentioned. The Pacers' coaching staff is just a puppet. All of this has made this turbulent team the target of public criticism.

.

Some people are watching the excitement, hoping that their glory will end here, just like the Mavericks in previous years, who won the regular season, were defeated in the playoffs, and then the driver was ridiculed by the media for many years.

No matter how you look at it, these Chinese people all have similar physiques and experiences.

On April 20, the playoffs officially started. As the Pacers had the best record in the league, coupled with the internal strife within the team, it became the highlight of this series.

In the previous games, the Raptors narrowly defeated the Nets with a 3-point advantage on the road, and the Clippers lost to the Warriors at home with a 4-point disadvantage.

The most surprising thing was that the Thunder, who were playing at home, faced the lousy Grizzlies. The score of 100 to 86 gave no indication of the game situation between the two sides.

The Grizzlies' dominance inside was really surprising. They almost overturned their opponents on the road. If it weren't for Durant's consecutive hits at the critical moment, the slow-moving Grizzlies might have defeated their opponents.

Durant's 33 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists are worthy of his reputation as the "God of Death";

Westbrook's 23 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists were not inferior.

As his opponent, Randolph's 11 rebounds were not too many, but 8 of them were offensive rebounds, which shocked everyone's attention, and the Thunder's inside line was reduced to rubbish.

Mike Conley got 11 assists, none of which were lost to Westbrook.

However, "Little Prince" Prince started the game and only scored 0 points. The former Pistons' top five players only played for a few minutes before being replaced by the coach.

The Grizzlies recovered 18 points in a single quarter and almost destroyed the Thunder.

Durant still had to rely on him at the critical moment. In the last quarter, he relied on his scoring and assists to defeat the opponent, making the game gradually lose suspense.

But even so, the Grizzlies also showed a different style in the away game. If the Thunder did not have Du, they would lose the game.

The highly anticipated battle between the Pacers and the Hawks began under such circumstances.

Many people are looking forward to whether the Hawks can become the "Grizzlies" of the Eastern Conference and become a powerful disruptor.

Can Hibbert stay on the inside and return from the lost path to complete his self-salvation?

Or will the Pacers be forced out as a "black eight" and become the biggest black eight disaster in history?

Song Lingfei got a good seat, while Luo Jiali and Su Zhen sat on the other side.

As Su Zhen appeared, the camera was also shown here from time to time. After all, she is Lin Shaojie's girlfriend, and she has an oriental face. The fans at the scene seemed to be looking at "foreigners". That was Lin En's "victory"

goddess!"

"Do you think you can win?"

Luo Jiali also didn't expect that it was just a dispute within the team that didn't look good. Why, after looking at the reports in the past two days, it felt like the Pacers were going to disband.

Those fans who do not have internal information channels may be misled. Even the opponent Eagles are cheering from the sidelines. It is not a big deal just to watch the fun.

"It's definitely no problem. Apart from Millsap, the Hawks don't even want Josh Smith. How can they have any strength? The final winner will definitely be the Pacers."

Song Lingfei replied affirmatively, although that's what he said, in fact, the Eagles' strength is not bad, and there are no weak teams among the teams that can make it to the playoffs.

Millsap, who succeeded Josh Smith, has outstanding strength and rich experience.

As a strong player for the Jazz back then and a new striker who joined the team this year, Millsap's strength is no worse than Paul George's, which means he is a little older.

If the team's Jeff Teague wasn't compared with Lin Shaojie, he would be one of the few guards in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, he is a guard with limited talent, and it would be difficult for him to produce outstanding statistics against Lin Shaojie.

The most regrettable thing is that the Eagles' center is an undrafted Pero Antic, and they also do not have an advantage in this position.

When the two sides warmed up at Conseco Arena, the feeling of approaching the city made the home fans keep calling for Lin Shaojie. No matter what the trouble was with the Pacers, Lin Shaojie did not show any anxiety.

The youngest but most composed player on the team, when he stands on the court, nothing seems to be able to stop him.

"This is my second playoff game, and I hope we can finally go on a road full of flowers. Today is the first step for us. If the speed is a little faster, maybe we can be in the third quarter."

Get everything done before.”

Lin Shaojie's speech made the starting players surrounding him feel excited.

As Hibbert's punishment, in addition to being fined and apologizing, he will sit off the court as a substitute in the first round of the playoffs against the Hawks, with uncertain playing time.

He was replaced by Wannian substitute Mahinmi.

In the past few years, Mahinmi had a very good relationship with Hibbert. The two trained together during the offseason. However, as the status gap between the two became wider and wider, Mahinmi also took the initiative to stay away from Hibbert.

The latter has already become close friends with Paul George and others.

Now, it is the first time that Mahinmi is starting in the playoffs.

Gobert was informed before the game that he would be ready to play at any time.

At that time, Gobert had already seen it in Lin Shaojie's eyes.

"Didn't you say that I am a ball tyrant and can decide who plays? Then I will give it a try today."

In this game, the Pacers' starting lineup was unchanged except for Mahinmi who replaced Hibbert. The Hawks sent Antic, Millsap, Carroll, Korver and Jeff.

.Teague’s lineup.

Mahinmi tried his best in the jump ball and successfully defeated the opponent Antic.

When the basketball was flying in the air, Lin Shaojie shouted.

"run!"

All members of the Pacers, except for Mahinmi who had just landed, were already rushing towards the Hawks' half. Lin Shaojie grabbed the ball with one hand from mid-air like a gust of wind. Jeff Teague, who wanted to counterattack, snatched the ball away.

.

Lin Shaojie was as flexible as a quarterback in a football game. Facing Teague's blockage, Lin Shaojie held the ball with one hand and turned around after stepping, staggering one position from Teague.

The Eagle also seemed a little panicked when faced with the sudden attack from the walkers.

Korver wanted to double-team Lin Shaojie with Teague, but Lin Shaojie, who had already turned around, suddenly stood on the same spot, making it impossible for Korver to move or not to move.

"Where's the ball?"

"careful!"

Antic, who arrived late, faced the thick-bodied West. The latter successfully helped the home team score 2 points with a seemingly slow but very sure tiptoe dunk.

After Lin Shaojie took the ball earlier, he had already completed the pass when he turned halfway.

On the big screen above his head, Lin Shaojie had no perspective at all, but in the process of turning around, the basketball was thrown out of his wrist and fell straight in front of West.

With Lin Shaojie alone attracting the attention of two defenders, plus Paul George and others, West almost faced an undefended ball frame.

"nice shot!"

Song Lingfei and Li Dacheng in the audience stood up in unison.

Lin Shaojie had almost predicted the movements of all his teammates before turning around, so he could complete an excellent pass when turning around.

It was so sudden that the defensive players could not have guessed that a player with such a court and skills in the league must be a historical player.

Even if Lin Shaojie gets older and loses speed and strength, he can still stand on the court just by passing the ball with this hand.

It's so annoying!

No team will give up on such a player with such great market appeal and the ability to win championships.

Calculating this way, fans will have more than ten years of watching football.

Antic shook his head helplessly when faced with this pass, and the Eagles served from the baseline.

West, who was retreating, gave Lin Shaojie a thumbs up, and Lin Shaojie nodded in response.

"Don't be scared by Lin En's name, he is not as powerful as you think!"

Although Millsap is a new member, he has been listed as the core and has full say.

"We have the height advantage. Don't be afraid of the short guy. Use our speed and endurance. We will win this game."

Millsap received a pass from Teague inside the three-point line.

The Hawks' point guard didn't dare to play tricks in front of Lin Shaojie, and the ball was passed in a hurry.

As one of Lin Shaojie's victims, Teague was very aware of the gap in strength between them. Of course, he did not dare to show off his skills in front of No. 13. With the cover of his teammates, of course he passed the ball as soon as possible.

If you encounter a defender who doesn't know what's important, he wants to show off his skills in front of Lin Shaojie.

Have you heard of Durant?

That guy was guarded by Lin Shaojie. If other players don't have that talent, forget about it!

Millsap took the ball and followed Paul George. After taking a tentative step, he found that the Pacers' second-choice defender was very defensive.

"I heard that you all have to listen to that guy, right?"
