My vision is different

Chapter 210 Granger Returns

The Pacers completed the season's double play against the Knicks, plus the previous double play against the Heat.

Good guy, only the Pacers are currently thriving among the troika in the East!

As a "non-professional" but extremely popular commentator, Barkley has long been an indispensable member of the NBA in the commentary booth.

This time when he was commentating the Pacers game, he also screamed again and again. There were really too many scenes that made him feel familiar.

In the All-Star Game, the Pacers, who had a great show, did not disappoint in their first game after returning.

Everyone would have thought that he did not clock in for three quarters again, but the game was far more turbulent than expected. This one seemed to be more ruthless, and almost made the 13th clock out in one and a half quarters.

Who knew that Anthony died in the fourth quarter and forced him to play again.

Okay!

Well done!

Just look at the ratings and you will know that even when he is not on the court, Barkley keeps saying "Lynn is a good player!"

He has a deep operational thinking and knows what is the highlight to attract the audience.

After Lin Shaojie appeared, the ratings skyrocketed.

When Barkley saw Lin Shaojie landed steadily under Chandler's malicious foul and looked at him calmly, Feizhu said.

"If you switch to other players, there is a high probability that you will fall after landing.

Lynn's core strength is really strong. There is no shortcut to this, it depends on accumulated practice. I heard that Lynn has learned from Huaguo's gymnastics and weightlifting training methods. I think this is why his core strength is so strong. one of the reasons. "

When Barkley watched Lynn go straight to the inside and head-on to complete a layup under the double-team of Chandler and Stoudemire, Barkley praised again.

"Lynn was also a tough guy in our era. He was a player who dared to attack the inside and was not afraid of fighting. In fact, his single-handed ability was very strong, but his golf quotient was too high and his vision was too broad. Most of the time They are all using these to solve the battle. I really like to see that he wants to fight like Kobe.

As a 12th class rookie, I've only seen this on a handful of players, and Lynn was the most successful one! "

When Lin Shaojie passed and shot with one hand, and successfully sent the basketball into the basket, Barkley got up and exclaimed.

"Lin En's talent is really strong! He shoots the ball completely with one hand, and doesn't need an auxiliary hand at all. I just ask you, how do you defend against such a player? God, Lynn is constantly adjusting his Offensive strategy, fighting according to the form on the field, he is too smart."

In this way, after O'Neill, another "Lin Chui" seemed to play.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Lin Shaojie wiped his sweat and walked towards Anthony, and gave him a gentle hug.

It's not the enemy of life and death, it's not just the love-hate entanglement between brothers.
"How about treating you to a light meal sometime?"

"We have to fight the Raptors the day after tomorrow, forget it!"

Anthony had to refuse.

"Raptors? It's enough to beat them!"

Lin Shaojie said indifferently, Anthony's eyes almost popped out.

Although the Raptors feel like a big team, don't forget that they have now introduced Rudy Gay. The current Raptors are not the Raptors of the first half of the season. They are still very impactful. .

Before the All-Star Game, the Knicks and the Raptors had a game, and the result was not good. The Knicks lost to their opponents cleanly.

Anthony played shit in that game, it sucked.

Besides, with the loss to the Pacers in this game, the Knicks have already won a three-game losing streak.

If they face the Raptors in the next round, if they really lose to their opponents and the Knicks lose four games in a row, they will fall behind from the troika.

Anthony doesn't want to lose to his opponent!

Lin Shaojie waved his hands, left Anthony's side, and threw himself into Kidd's arms!
"Jason (Kidd), are you okay?"

"Not good, not good at all!"

Kidd said so, but with a smile in his eyes.

In the Knicks, he is in a semi-retirement state, and even in many cases, he is the locker room leader and half an assistant.

After winning the championship with the Mavericks the year before last, Kidd has already completed his life. Regardless of the results of this year's Knicks, he has already decided to retire.

As a legendary point guard at a historical level, he is a proper player to enter the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Such a veteran with a peaceful mind, thinks more about problems, and is no longer from the perspective of a player.

The teaching assistant is definitely a step in his future. Kidd must have made a choice to come to New York.

Anyway, Kidd, who bought a house in the Big Apple with a lot of money, has already determined his next home in his heart, either the Knicks or the Nets, wherever he feels comfortable.

From this point of view, Kidd doesn't care about winning or losing the game at all, and keeping friendship with Lin Shaojie is what he has to do.

Obviously, the two have a lot in common, but time doesn't allow it!

In front of the reporter's camera, the players of the two eras communicated enthusiastically and comforted each other.

The winner is humble, the loser is free and easy!
Lin Shaojie did not attend the post-match press conference, but Paul George, who performed equally well in this game, went.

With a score of 125 to 91, all the Pacers who beat the Knicks were in high spirits, and Paul George, the second child, was not afraid.

And Lin Shaojie, who scored 37 points, 18 assists, 7 rebounds, 7 steals and 5 blocks, finally moved his scoring average up a little bit.

Paul also had excellent data of 27 points, 3 assists, and 5 rebounds. The Pacers' "double guns" scored 64 points together!
gorgeous!

"Everyone knows that Lynn will put up amazing numbers if he stays on the court for a while, but we all know that he is not the type of player who chases numbers. We are a united team. He is used to Take the hardest task on yourself, so when he's off, we play easy."

After Paul George finished speaking, coach Frank took the microphone.

"Winning is a normal thing for us. We are on the right path this season. We are the most united team in the league. Whether it is the Knicks or the Heat, we are fearless"

In the locker room, the long-lost Danny Granger took off his suit, sat in it, and played with his teammates.

The people are still the same people, the core is only one more Lin Shaojie, the others have not changed, there must be some changes in the substitute, but they all had deep contact before the season.

The main players, including Lin Shaojie, were all saying hello to Granger, but a group of substitutes were at a loss.

They didn't know whether the Lin Shaojie in front of them was hypocritical, or he was just so warm and hospitable.

They would definitely not dare to do such a thing as "welcome the second emperor of Huiqin". Who knows what Lin Shaojie was thinking about the friendliness shown by Lin Shaojie.

Lin Shaojie didn't think too much about the mentality of his subordinates. It's better to say more than to do more. The better Granger's body recovers, the more helpful it will be for the next playoffs.

"When will you be able to play?"

In the corner, Lin Shaojie asked directly, which was completely different from the question in front of the reporter.

"I want to fight in the next game!"

Granger said without hesitation.

"Next, we will play back-to-back with the Pistons. Playing in the next game is too unfriendly to your body. Otherwise, you can go up and get used to it when you play away games. I will try to create more opportunities for you. How about two or three days of rest for you to adjust?"

Lin Shaojie thought for a while and said.

He was the one who asked the question, and he gave the answer. Perhaps in his opinion, this was just to reassure Granger and make it easier to accept!

"can!"

Granger said there was no problem, and soon, the usual laughter resumed in the locker room.

After the press conference was over, Paul George personally drove Granger back, expressing his importance to the former boss!
Lin Shaojie stayed behind under Frank's gesture.

"You mean Danny (Granger) to play in Game [-] against the Pistons?"

There were only two masters and apprentices left in the office, and Frank was thinking while walking.

"Yes, the feedback from the team doctor confirmed that he can play, but the back-to-back games are too intensive. It is better to play in the second game. After resting for so long, you have to slowly adapt."

"I have been in this team for three years. I know Danny. He has a very high arrogance to make Paul George willing to be a younger brother.

Due to injuries, he may give up his core position, but when he is firmly in the starting lineup, he will definitely try to get back his original feeling. "

Frank once again kindly reminded that although Granger was also his general, he used to be.The current state of the Pacers has never been better. This season, no team is better than the Pacers at this time. This is also the closest the Pacers are to their goals.

If anyone destroys the hope in Frank's heart, he will never allow it, even Granger!

"Frank, I don't think there's any need to worry!"

Lin Shaojie got up and said, pointing on the tactical board.

"Although I don't have a complete concept of how to play Danny's role, I can regard him as another Paul (George), and for me, it is two swingmen."

As he spoke, Lin Shaojie pointed to himself happily.

"If I can lead two Paul (George), I believe that even if we lack the inside, the Heat will be hit by these two people, and I only need to shoot from the outside at any time. It's never easier game.

In the next game, I can try it out. If it succeeds, then George Hill can only be the sixth man. "

Seeing Lin Shaojie's eyes gleaming, full of hope, Frank also wanted to try that kind of situation.

Danny Granger and Paul George have too many similarities in stature and combat style. Maybe Paul George was chosen in the first place to prepare for a "connection between the past and the future", but no one thought that Paul George George's top speed will be so fast.

Second only to Lin Shaojie's rise!
"But there is a premise, that is, Danny's body must be healthy, otherwise"

Lin Shaojie didn't say anything, both of them understood.

"As for the core position, I believe that as long as Danny is not the kind of person who is obsessed with interests, after a few games, he will be able to realize what he should do.

If he was still trying to get back to the core position at that time, I think Larry (Bird) would make the right choice. "

These words made Frank nod his head, and Larry Bird forced Lin Shaojie to take the position. Standing firm for a while was due to the player's "pretentious power", and it was the player's own ability to stand firm all the time.

As for the question of "choose me or choose him", it has existed for a long time among the various teams in the NBA. Danny is not stupid, and he can't say the words, "I thought he was chosen to assist me". !
Danny Granger of the Pacers is about to usher in a comeback, which became one of the big news of the NBA that day.

As the team with the best record in the league, the Pacers are no longer unknown at this time. Even if Indianapolis is just a small ball market, it still can't stop their fiery spread, and the whole city is crazy about it.

And Granger, as the core of the "old era", will come back at this time to continue the glory of the Pacers, or will the record be damaged due to changes in the core lineup. Everyone is looking forward to seeing a formal result.

As the Pacers' next opponent, the Pistons are undoubtedly a good test object, and the Pistons will have two consecutive games against the Pacers. For both parties, this back-to-back is very unfriendly.

On the other hand, for reasons unknown to the outside world, after the All-Star Game, Kobe and Howard, whose relationship seemed to have eased, appeared after the game in the first game after the All-Star Game and defeated the Celtics at home. There was a miraculous scene.

Looking back, Lin Shaojie watched the video of the game. Kobe's performance was mediocre, not outstanding. On the contrary, Howard's performance was impressive, and he felt like he had returned to the top.

Although it was the Lakers who won the game, it felt like they were invincible. Including Kobe, three players from the Lakers took Ts successively, which shows the intensity of this game.

Such things as the yellow-green battle can only be one of the "legacy". Players on both sides must work hard here, just like the Pacers facing the Pistons. The fans of the home team will sting you and think you are not loyal!

As a super general on the Lakers' back line, Nash got 7 assists in this game, surpassing Magic Johnson in total and becoming the fourth in history.

Although Pierce scored 13 points in a single quarter and almost led his teammates to win, it's a pity that the Lakers' backcourt shot consecutive three-pointers to stop the Celtics.

The three-pointer is really a magic skill, chasing points and pulling points is very effective, and everyone is paying more and more attention to this. If any team does not have one or two three-pointers, it is definitely a fish!

In the post-match interview, everything was normal until Kobe left the Staples Center, and was stopped by a reporter halfway, who suddenly asked him a sensitive question.

"Kobe, there are rumors that the Lakers may trade Howard, what do you think about this?"

"His (Howard) contract is about to expire, but we have been getting promises to renew his contract. Although I admire him playing through injuries, I still feel that he lacks enough toughness and desire to help the Lakers out of trouble. Spirit.

His contract extension is not only my concern, but also Steve (Nash) and Paul (Gasol). This will make us all suspect that he (Howard) lacks enough desire to win to meet down the challenge.

so."

Kobe, wearing sunglasses, paused for a while, and then replied affirmatively: "If the team finally decides to trade Howard, I will not object! He stays, and I welcome it, but please renew the contract as soon as possible."

Kobe's statement obviously focused the internal contradictions of the Lakers under the light of the media. Perhaps Kobe had been angry since Lin Shaojie revealed the news to him.

In the end, it reached the point where he couldn't bear it, and Howard's non-renewal also indicated that he could not stay with the Lakers.

Not renewing the contract at this moment is not for sale, but to find another place.

In the eyes of everyone, whether it is the Rockets, the Mavericks or even the Nets, Howard has no shortage of homes anyway. Rather than hang himself on the Lakers, it is better to find a better place. After all, the Lakers belong to Kobe. Howard feels that His shadow was everywhere, and it was very uncomfortable to be there.

In the evening, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to call Kobe.

"Old Ke, why did you express your opinion in advance?"

"I've had enough!"

Kobe said indifferently, after he made his statement, after the turmoil, the Lakers executives who were still in turmoil called Kobe and expressed their support for him, even though Howard played far better than Kobe in today's game.

"You know, his unprofessionalism makes me feel bad, Los Angeles is too big for Howard, his mind here is not on the court at all, how many bars there are in Los Angeles, he knows better than me.

On top of that, his contract issues have been left unresolved."

"But you shouldn't say it in front of reporters, even in the locker room."

Lin Shaojie said with some regret, this old Ke is still like a child, without any city mansion, if he had known this, he would not have revealed the news to him.

Fortunately, according to the media, a bad debt can be counted on Kobe's head in the future.

"Not only me, Steve (Nash), they all expressed their support for me."

Lin Shaojie listened on the phone for a long time, and it was all Kobe's nagging. Obviously, when the death of Old Buss, the turmoil in the Lakers' high-level, and the conflicts among the players, when everything came together, Kobe Some exploded.

"Don't forget, the most important thing for you right now is to fight for a place in the playoffs. If you say something like this at this time, what should you do inside?"

"It's a big deal, I'll do it myself, Paul (Gasol) is still there, we don't lack insiders."

Kobe said indifferently, and Lin Shaojie almost gasped when he heard it: "Brother, you don't even look at your own age. If you say something like this, you really think you are like me, less than twenty!"

Lin Shaojie's words made Kobe almost vomit blood: "You are young and you are amazing, why, do you look down on me?"

"Hey, you're right. I just look down on you. What kind of blood is playing at a young age? Is that team your family? You need to be like this, and you also worry about what the manager does?

What's the big deal, I'll do it myself,' believe it or not, if you play as long as before, in the playoffs you will be as easy as a hot knife cutting butter.

There are a lot of people who are old, let's grow up! "

"Mind my business, mind your own!"

Kobe said angrily: "Don't think I don't know, Danny is back, when your core is robbed, you will cry."

"Don't worry, you really don't need to worry about this!"

Lin Shaojie replied confidently: "In just a few games, I can make Danny call 'Dad,' believe it or not?"

Kobe was silent, and he didn't respond for a while.

"If you don't tell me, I'll take it as your acquiescence. Do you need to worry about such a simple matter. Reduce playing time and give others more opportunities. Don't have no one available, and some of you will cry."

"I know my body. I am healthier than you. We will definitely make it to the playoffs. Anyway, we will wait and see when the time comes! Whoever fails will be treated."

"Okay, wait and see!"

Lin Shaojie, who has outstanding statistics, just received an "oh" response from the entire league, and everyone seems to be used to it.

On the contrary, Dragic of the Suns scored 18 assists and was praised by people.

However, in addition to 18 assists, that is 16 points, compared with Lin Shaojie's data, Dragic's data is too domestic, but the league is a miracle.

The comprehensive performance of Lin Shaojie hardly received much praise, as if everything was normal.

The Suns at the bottom of the West completed a victory, and Dragic is the savior.

How magical is life!

After a day off, the Pacers ushered in the Detroit Pistons at home.

Danny Granger sat on the bench, and everyone in the team knew that Granger would not play in this game, just to let him feel the atmosphere.

The audience, who didn't know it, gave the former core a loud applause.

Facing such an "unrecognizable" Pistons, familiar players all fell apart in the "Battle of Auburn Hills", and Granger, who was sitting off the court, was also full of emotion.

The starting lineups of both sides are familiar and cannot be more familiar, except that Knight of the Pistons did not come due to injury.

The current Pistons are lucky to be in the playoffs in addition to their titles. How can they compare with the Pacers who are number one in the league!
So the game was played very easily from the beginning. The Pacers started with a score of 8-0. Lin Shaojie's series benefited Hibbert and George Hill inside and outside.

The Pistons managed to break the scoring drought with Calderon, and the Pacers scored two three-pointers in a row, leading to a 14-2 score.

And Lin Shaojie's subsequent blockade of Calderon, coupled with his deterrence on the outside, made the Pistons play like a "job-job" team. Shoot, just don't score much.

The inefficient Pistons only scored 10 points in the first half of the first quarter, while the Pacers at home scored 29 points. The [-]-point gap made it easy for Lin Shaojie to go during the rotation.

Granger hugged Lin Shaojie who was coming off the stage forcefully.

"Great Lynn, we are really strong!"

"Yes, as long as you recover, we will be stronger, and we will step over all enemies, including the heat, and finally reach the end."

Lin Shaojie's words made Granger nod vigorously.

During the rotation, except for the Pistons' Krazov who scored four points, the Pistons fell into a scoring drought again. By the end of the second quarter, the Pacers had entered the intermission with a 60-36 margin of 24 points. links.

The contrast between strong and weak was particularly obvious. In the third quarter, although Granger was very eager to play, Lin Shaojie still comforted Granger.

"Let's go to the next game, we still have two months to play, enough for you to adjust and enter the playoffs!"

In the end, Granger was "pressed" off the court by Lin Shaojie.

In fact, Lin Shaojie knew very well that at this time, facing the Pistons with a belly like a fish, Granger was the best player in the game, and the confidence of the Pistons was almost lost.

But Lin Shaojie, who is the boss, has already said that Granger will be allowed to play again in the next game. How can it be possible to change the order overnight?

So even if it is wrong, you have to bite the bullet and continue until you hit your head badly and have to turn the car around.

Most of this kind of single-minded approach to the end ends in failure.

Anyway, some people bumped into a way out, pushed through the clouds and mist to see the dawn;
Some people were hit to death at the first glance, and when they fell apart, the people below secretly scolded, "Stupid!"

Those who adjust their strategies from time to time are almost dead!
No matter how you look at it, it is a dead end, and only a few people can survive from desperation. How difficult life is!

David West, who sat aside and said nothing, looked like a sage again.

"Sure enough, only I am the most sober in the Pacers team, no one is more sober than me!"

"David!"

Lin Shaojie suddenly shouted, and West turned his head with a smile on his face: "What's the matter Lynn?"

"Why don't you have a drink with Danny tonight, and we'll win another game tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

The two smiled at each other.

West couldn't tell what it was like, but every time he felt that he had discovered something and muttered in his heart, Lin Shaojie would talk to him, what a strange feeling!

"That kid won't see that I'm a wise man!"

In the third quarter, Lin Shaojie went up to play for two minutes in the second half, which was an explanation to the fans present.

Three consecutive three-pointers were made within two minutes, and the point difference was pulled to more than 40 points in an instant. Lin Shaojie himself didn't want to play anymore.

Anyway, after the end of the game, until the end of the fourth quarter, the Pistons did not pull the score into the Pacers' safety line (within 20 points).

In the end, the score was 114 to 82, and the 32-point difference made the Pistons lose face.

The group of people after the game also dealt with the matter in a hurry, and then the two sides packed their bags together and headed to Detroit.

Tomorrow, the two sides will usher in a new battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Can the Pistons come back?
How much did Granger recover?How big is the impact on the Pacers?
All in the back-to-back games on the second day.
