My vision is different

Chapter 216 Playoff Big Devil
Lin Shaojie can be sure that the MVP award will fall into the bag with the performance of the Pacers, but he dare not be sure about the best team of the season that players pay more attention to.

On the one hand, there is only one MVP. This award has made Lin Shaojie, who has been popular for almost a season, a PY deal with Stern. The league needs someone to expand its influence. Lin Shaojie feels that he has this qualification.

Whether it's the team's record, personal data, or influence outside, a big coach has an advantage in any situation, let alone someone like Lin Shaojie.

Even in football, as handsome as Beckham can become one of the top cards of the Galaxy Battleship!

Do you dare to say "Xiao Bei" in it? No, how can Lao Bei's appearance bonus be less?
In short, Lin Shaojie knows that the MVP matter is almost indistinguishable, but sometimes he is afraid that everyone will play something else when it comes to such things.

It's like some units only recruit one person when recruiting. In previous years, they selected the best among the best, and those who thought they had insufficient qualifications did not go for it. But when the position becomes five people one day, it is a person or a ghost. They all want to try it out, in case some people are overwhelmed, or meet some people who want to pay attention to the so-called "tradition", Lin Shaojie dare not guarantee it.

Just like ESPN right now, in their predicted lineup, they actually put Lin Shaojie in the second team.

As for Kobe?Not even the second team.

Yes.

In the first half of this year, Kobe was a little weak defensively and had a lot of trouble, but in the second half of the season, there is nothing to say. The record of the whole team cannot be said to rely on him. down.

I started to learn to share the ball with Nash, and I started to return to the previous defensive strength.

But even the second team couldn't squeeze in. As the saying goes, there are talents from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

Lin Shaojie only hopes that this award can be more disciplined, and don't engage in any behavior of dividing the cake.

Why go to the second team if you can make it to the first team, just because you are a rookie?
"Old Ke, I'm leaving!"

"Let's go, let's see you are annoying!"

"And Corvo, let me remind you again. Although your smile is ugly, it is far warmer than when you are usually cool. I hope you can smile more and don't show your molars!"

Before Lin Shaojie finished speaking, Kobe threw a paper cup over, but it was a pity that Lin Shaojie walked away.

Well, although Kobe was injured and was reimbursed for the season, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Kobe waved his hand to bid farewell to Lin Shaojie. He came in a hurry and turned back in a hurry, giving most of the time to the journey.

When Lin Shaojie got on the plane, Kobe secretly took a picture of Lin Shaojie visiting himself in front of the hospital bed on Twitter.

The sunlight at that time was just right, shining into the room through the tulle. Lin Shaojie, who was half turned around, only showed his side face, which was a little unclear, with a sense of haze. The whole person was like an angel shrouded in halo. It's all such a coincidence!

"Although I hate this guy a bit, I still thank him for coming to see me. I look forward to a better result for the Pacers. Come on Lynn, come on Pacers."

Some people cheered the Pacers, others discouraged him.

On the way back, Su Zhen asked Lin Shaojie if such an injury would affect the team's income. Lin Shaojie shook his head and said that there must be an impact, but not much.

In the labor agreement of the US NBA, if the five players with the highest salary on the team are really reimbursed for the season due to injury, as long as they "absent from work" for more than 41 games in a row, [-]% of the salary for each subsequent game will be paid by Insurance wages pay the bill.

In addition, there is a so-called "guaranteed" income between players and teams, and capitalists cannot be so stupid.

Kobe's income this year is close to [-] million, and he has played so many games in the regular season. The reimbursement for the last game will not affect his income. If this happens again next season, it will be miserable, but This year's Kobe is like this, next year he should be able to learn some lessons, so it won't be like this.

Of course, for the team, the direct income has little impact, but the indirect income is not small. How many people come to Staples, it is for the banner of the team, and so on, tickets, peripheral products of the team, etc. Waiting will definitely be affected, and those are not the bottom line.

On the [-]st, the Pacers at home faced the visiting Bucks.

In the previous first round of the playoffs, the Heat killed the Celtics at home, and the Celtics, who took the initiative to change, replaced Bass with Terry as the starter, but unfortunately it didn't help.

The Heat encountered some small twists and turns in the game, but the "old and decrepit" Garnett and Pierce were obviously not strong opponents for LeBron. The Big Three of the Heat worked together and won at home;

Without Rose, the Bulls lost to the Nets in the first round without accident, and lost 20 points in the first half, but the Bulls in the away game were not useless. Big trouble.

If the Bulls can take advantage of the inside, they are not useless, at least they are still capable of fighting;

The performance of this battle between the Knicks and the Eagles was more obvious. Anthony’s skills and experience really made the Eagles very uncomfortable. Josh Smith is the King of the Eagles, but he was well staged by "Melon" for on-site teaching. The Eagles had a chance to catch up in the fourth quarter, but Anthony scored seven points in a row and completely defeated the Eagles;

In the West, the Warriors' three-point rain "unsurprisingly" failed to kill the Nuggets. Curry and Lawson had a peak duel, but unfortunately, the critical moment still depends on the veteran. Andre Miller completed the lore, Scored 18 points in the last quarter of the game, allowing the Warriors to swallow a bitter pill in the away game!

Not only that, but David Lee strained his thigh at the beginning of the fourth quarter and had to leave the field early, otherwise he would not have the brilliance of the old Miller at the last moment, and the Warriors' qualifying situation would not be optimistic at once!
It's normal for the Clippers to kill the Grizzlies. After all, the Clippers' record in the regular season is much better than the Grizzlies', but the Grizzlies' advantage in the interior is too obvious. Randolph and Gasol completely abused Griffin. Griffin was allowed to commit six fouls, which was due to the home whistle.

Except for Chris Paul's impressive performance, Lin Shaojie actually saw the loss of the Clippers from this game.

The Spurs beat the Lakers without Kobe, that's the feeling of a father beating his son, he can do whatever he wants.

Howard is great!Gasol is not bad, Nash and Ci Shiping are very powerful, but facing the old troika and "Kawaii" Leonard, the Lakers have no attackers at critical moments, Ginobili can only play Scored 19 points in 18 minutes, what do you want the Lakers to do?
Lin Shaojie could still imagine the scene where the volute was crying silently. After finally sending the Lakers to the playoffs, this is what he got.

The point difference between the two sides is not big, but for the prudent Spurs, everything is above their rhythm, and the Lakers are completely led by them.

Now, it's the Pacers' turn.

As the first half of the season, facing the Pacers who are riding the dust, the Bucks actually won a rare victory when the Pacers were at their peak, which can be said to have shocked many people's attention.

But so what, in four games this season, the 3-1 winning percentage gives the Pacers an innate psychological advantage when facing the Bucks.

In the last few games of the regular season, the Pacers' performance was no better than the six-game losing streak of the Bucks.

This has caused a misunderstanding to many media who don't know the truth, whether the Bucks have a chance to fight the Pacers for a game or two.

It is definitely unrealistic to rely on the current Bucks lineup to defeat the strong Pacers in the series, but it is still possible to steal one or two victories.

So before the game, Bucks coach Jim Boylan said in the team that if they try to win a victory and can win one back, the Bucks will exceed the target this season.

Of course, Jim Boylan didn't have the extravagant expectation of defeating his opponent, which is unrealistic.

Playing four games in a season, except for the time when the Bucks stole their home, the other three games were more miserable than the other. Regardless of the player's personal ability and tactical execution, the Bucks are completely incomparable.

At this time, the atmosphere at home was a little bit more dignified than in the regular season. After all, this was the first game. Lin Shaojie, as a third-ranked show, can show how much strength he can play in a big scene like the playoffs. Not the king of the regular season, the coward of the playoffs, it's hard to say.

The lineups sent by the two sides are as familiar as ever. Except for the Pacers who have come back Danny Granger, the players on both sides are very familiar faces.

The Pacers still have the starting five, while the Bucks have Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis leading the back line, and Sanders, Mbah a Moute, and Ilyasova are leading the three. People make up the front line.

Among the substitutes on both sides, the Pacers have Danny Granger and Lance Stephenson, while the Bucks have Ai Pai Udo and the 12th rookie John Hansen, plus the Pacers Veteran Mike Dunleavy, the presence of other players is very weak.

"Be careful with the Pacers defense, don't do too much action in front of them, especially in front of No. 13 Lynn. There has been too much evidence that he is a player with outstanding talent, but likes to play with his brain.

Don't play tricks in front of him, keep your moves as simple as possible, pass the ball as soon as you see him, don't hesitate, understand? "

Immediately ushered in the "big test" of the official game. As the coach, Jim Boylan loudly arranged tactics before the game.

On the other side, the Pacers are relatively quiet. They are the strongest, and they cannot be too emotional like the Bucks. In addition, this is Consec Arena, the home of the Pacers, and the players occupy psychologically. Great advantage.

The offensive tactics are generally arranged in advance by Brian Shaw. Frank still focuses on defense, but the execution must be led by Lin Shaojie.

After Brian Xiao finished speaking briefly, Frank glanced at Lin Shaojie.

"Lynn, in the game we lost to the Bucks, Brandon (Jennings) on the opposite side put up good numbers, right?"

Lin Shaojie nodded: "Understood, this game will definitely not let him get what he wants, I will restrict him."

"I believe you can do it. There is another person, Mike Dunleavy. He is a veteran and has a stable mentality."

"Don't worry, as long as he plays, as long as he doesn't stand dead on the inside, Paul (George) and I will let him know that this world is already our young people's world."

Lin Shaojie's words made his teammates laugh a little. Obviously, everyone's mentality is not bad.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

In the end, Frank still respected the opinions of the "locker room boss" in the team. Obviously, this was the treatment that Danny Granger did not have before.

At this moment, in the first game of the playoffs of the 2012-2013 season, Lin Shaojie did not make any further excuses, and when he should take responsibility, he must take responsibility on him.

First, he looked at Paul George.

"Brother, near the three-point line in the backcourt belongs to both of us, is that okay?"

"Of course!"

Paul George nodded: "Are you sure it's okay, 'Rookie,' this is your first playoff game?"

"I'll let you know what a big devil with full firepower is."

Lin Shaojie responded and looked at George Hill: "Don't foul easily on defense. Brandon (Jennings) will leave it to you. Is there any problem? I will assist you from the side."

"No problem at all!"

After getting the reply, Lin Shaojie turned his head to look at David West, said nothing, and then patted the veteran on the shoulder: "David is our most mature player, and we all trust him."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Roy Hibbert and said, "Roy, you are our big baby. Can I rest assured that I will leave the inside information to you?"

"Of course!"

Hibbert's chest was pounding loudly. Although he played too much with Paul George that day, he had already recovered after three days of rest.

"OK!"

Lin Shaojie clapped his hands lightly to express.

"Then we will win, this is our territory!"

If the broadcast of the regular season was lively and colorful in China, then Yang Ma made a big bet on the first game of the playoffs.

Not only the pre-match preview, but also the golden commentary team, Zhang Weiping and the little giant appeared on the commentary booth, which was particularly grand.

Mainly from the various analysis before the game, the Pacers have no problems at all after the round. The Pacers are already a strong team in the playoffs, and now they have a super rookie joining, even more powerful.

"Little giant, what do you think of this game?"

Zhang Weiping in front of the commentary asked.

"The right time, place and people are in harmony. On the whole, there is no problem for the Pacers to beat the Bucks!"

"But some netizens said that the Bucks were one of the few teams that failed the Pacers in the first half of the schedule!"

"That match is not considered a loss!"

The little giant went on to say: "I talked with Kobayashi during the All-Star, the team's rotation, the pressure brought by the winning streak, and the dense schedule, etc., there are many reasons, plus Jennings in that game After hitting a few key shots, the Pacers gave up the game as a half-sell and half-give.

When it comes to occasions like the playoffs, it is impossible for the Pacers to give their opponents such a chance. "

"Then will Director Lin continue to perform well?"

Listening to Zhang Weiping's question, the little giant pondered for only a second or two, and immediately replied: "Personally, Xiaolin's mentality is the strongest player in his age group, bar none.

Whether in the national youth team, the national team or the Pacers, he is the most responsible player. I know what the fans are worried about, but if they lose in the last few regular season games, they will lose. It is very good to rotate more and give teammates more opportunities to rotate.

As for Kobayashi, I don't think there is any need to worry. Even if he plays abnormally, the Pacers will be finished. Under this kind of pressure, he will never allow it.

I and Dazhi have all been in contact with Xiaolin. Xiaolin is a player who is easy to talk and willing to communicate, but on the court, the more critical the time, the less he will be soft.

As a rookie who may even win the MVP, we may have a lot of expectations for him, but I also hope that everyone can give him a little more time. After a process of adaptation, he was able to lead the team to the league's first record in his rookie season. Such a player is too rare, anyway, I have never seen it on the court. "

Although the little giant didn't say too much, everyone could understand what he meant.

"I think at this time, the Suns, Grizzlies, some teams, and even the Pelicans regretted it very much. I still remember that the Suns were the first to get the draft materials guided by Lin, but they rejected Lin's guidance. The Pelicans Possibly selected, but they missed."

"Yes!"

The little giant smiled this time: "During the All-Stars this year, I talked with Duncan. Popovich is still worried about it. They originally wanted to choose Kobayashi, but they were cut off by Larry Bird. up.

Looking back now, choosing the Pacers is far more promising than the Spurs. After all, the Pacers gave Kobayashi the core position and treatment. In the case of the Spurs, there are not so many opportunities for rookies and possession of the ball.”

With the appearance of the main players of both sides on the scene, the fans in front of the TV began to get excited.

This is Lin Shaojie's first game in the playoffs, and Yang Ma's ratings are about to explode.

Looking at Weibo again, related topics rushed up one after another. As long as it is related to basketball and the playoffs, the three words "Lin Shaojie" are indispensable, and even the stars are constantly posting Sitting in front of the TV and watching the game.

Regardless of whether it's hype or real fans, Lin Shaojie's Weibo fan count has already begun to move towards impossible numbers before the game started.

Just ask you, how high is the commercial value of this kind of player in China?
Looking at his Twitter and even Facebook, it is all growth visible to the naked eye.

As the most popular player in the NBA in the 2012-2013 season, who can be responsible for the appearance of the NBA in this Kobe season, except Lin Shaojie!
Even Kobe, after the Lakers game, called Lin Shaojie's name, saying that he was paying attention to his game, so don't be discouraged.

A group of people watching silly music!

The game officially begins!
There are seven games in the series, and if you want to advance to the next round, you have to win 4 games. Both sides have the home court advantage. If anyone loses the home court, it is equivalent to losing the home court advantage.

Hibbert successfully jumped the ball and Lin Shaojie took the initiative.

After Lin Shaojie got the ball, the Bucks all retreated. They didn't try to defend Lin Shaojie in the halfcourt, and they only left Monta Ellis in front of the center line to act as an "interceptor."

Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball, glanced over, and the Bucks on the opposite side were familiar with the positioning of the players. In the opposing lineup, the Bucks didn’t even have a pure center. Sanders can play both power forward and center. He and Elijah Sowa is the inside core of the Bucks, and Mbah a Moute is a small forward, but he is not qualified.

In the entire starting lineup of the Bucks, only Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings can make a move.

As the Bucks who have played four games in one season, they are too familiar with Lin Shaojie's offensive routine. The first quarter is mainly about passing the ball, and then watching the running positions of other Pacers players, they are all preparing for receiving the ball .

Ellis just went up to Lin Shaojie immediately after halftime.

Although he knew that his opponents were very strong, there were many players whose mentality collapsed under heavy pressure. No one knew what kind of hardships players who performed well in the regular season would experience in the playoffs.

Some players survived, transformed, and became stars;
Some people couldn't bear it, their mentality collapsed, and they couldn't exert their own strength at all.

Ellis doesn't know what the opponent is like, but the necessary pressure is still given, so Ellis keeps a step away from the opponent to prevent Lin Shaojie from breaking through. You either shoot or pass?
Lin Shaojie didn't expect that the opponent would give him such a good opportunity to make a move in the opening game.

At the apex of the three-point line, at a distance of one meter, Lin Shaojie didn't even have time to take another look, he got up and shot a jumper.

The high-jumping figure is as sudden as an arrow from the string, and the basketball in his hand goes straight to the basket with a lot of hope.
"At the beginning, the two sides played very conservatively. Lin directed the ball to advance and shoot. This is the shot. It's not at all, it's very reasonable!"

Zhang Weiping never expected that when Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball across the half court, his teammates were still running, and the defensive players were only a little slack, so he jumped up and shot, completely ignoring the feelings of his opponents and teammates.

"Shh!"

The arc of the basketball was a little too big, but when it fell to the basket, it was as smooth as ever. When the basketball passed the net, it rippled like waves and rushed into the hearts of the audience in front of the TV.

Warm and persistent.

"Have it!"

Zhang Weiping said a little excitedly: "Director Lin is really courageous, and he shot three-pointers at the beginning. The Warriors lost the game yesterday, and their three-pointers didn't make a difference. I don't know how many fans are saying that the critical moment still depends on the inside.

Look at the first goal directed by Lin, with this mentality, the game is stable! "

"From this goal, we can see that Kobayashi's mentality is very stable. For a big player like him, the more critical the moment, the less he will lose the chain."

The little giant seemed relieved, and said with a smile on his face.

Ellis at the scene never thought that he didn't even have a chance to make up the defense, and the opponent completed a shot in front of him.

Although he has known his three-pointer threat for a long time, but this is the playoffs, and you are just a rookie, this is your first game, can't you play more safely?
It was the Bucks' turn to attack. Just after halftime, Jennings was stuck tightly by George Hill. Jennings passed the ball to Ellis, trying to regain the ball through a two-to-one approach.

But Jennings, who got rid of the defense, didn't receive the pass at all. Lin Shaojie was not far from him. If Ellis dared to pass the ball, he would be blocked.

Just as Ellis was considering whether to pass the ball or break through himself, George Hill actually "boldly" made a steal.

"George Hill, successfully completed the steal."

Zhang Weiping couldn't believe that the Pacers' outside "loophole" actually completed a steal against a core player like Ellis in the first playoff game.

After the basketball was released, Ellis immediately fought back, but Lin Shaojie was the first to receive the basketball "pointed" by George Hill.

Jennings, who was thinking about attacking just now, hastily retreated, but seeing Lin Shaojie striding forward after taking the ball, he could only watch his back helplessly.

The wind blew across the cheeks, and the nearly 13 people in the Consec Arena were full of guests. The voices came from all directions, and everyone's eyes were focused on the number [-] that was running.

one step, two steps
In just five strides, after getting the basketball, Lin Shaojie rushed into the backcourt of the Bucks. Just when everyone thought Lin Shaojie would end the battle with an exaggerated dunk, he stopped before the three-point line. Come down and look back at your teammates and opponents.

Then, just like a daily relationship, facing the eyes of the audience and the camera, slowly close your eyes, take off, and shoot.
The two-stage take-off has been honed in his hands. Facing the defensive player's "blindfolding" method, he just relies on his feeling to shoot. At this moment, Lin Shaojie is facing an empty defense!

Some of the reporters were exclaiming, but most of the fans couldn't believe it.

However, no matter it is the fans who are close and holding expensive side tickets, or the fans who are far away, they can only watch the details through the big screen above their heads.

Everyone could see clearly that the Tan Huaxiu who took off and shot had his eyes closed.

With so many expectations and hopes, basketball is like a rainbow falling into the basket.

"Shh!"

Just like the sweet spring flowing in the mountain stream in summer, the entrance is so refreshing that you can't help but let out a cry.

"what!"

No one expected that the Pacers completed two rounds of offense in less than [-] seconds after the opening.

At this time, the Bucks did not even touch the Pacers within the three-point line.

As for Lin Shaojie, who scored 6 points with two consecutive goals, he stopped in the Bucks' half, waiting for the opponent's serve.

For too long, Lin Shaojie hadn't shown the fans the strength of his opponent's clean sheet.

Except for the first batch of fans of Jiangnan University, too many people have only heard of this legend, but have not seen this example.

Besides, this is the NBA, can the major leagues compare with him?

Many people have heard the legend of Xie Zhenghe's opponent who had zero seals, but everyone treats it as a joke and no one cares.

It's like Garnett can touch the top of the backboard continuously. Who can believe that is what humans can do?
But in Lin Shaojie's eyes, there is almost no difference between double speed and double speed. A player who lacks passing space and is inferior to him in height, speed and even strength, how can he score in front of him.

He just wants to try his best to realize his "joke" words before the game, keep a clean sheet of opponents in a limited time, and strive to be the big devil in the eyes of the Bucks!
