My vision is different

Chapter 222 Talent
The game is over. In the first round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls lost to the Pacers 76-91 away.

Lin Shaojie in the center of the court opened his arms, holding Paul George and Danny Granger in his arms, and the reporters not far away pressed the shutters one after another, leaving precious photos one after another.

Just when everyone was about to return to the locker room, the fans at home became excited and made much louder noises than when they won.

"what happened?"

The audience in the front row who hadn't left the stage wondered.

"The Heat lost. They lost to the Knicks at home with a score of 105 to 96."

When the news came out, the Pacers players in the middle of the court were ecstatic. No matter what happens afterwards, at least after this game, they will have at least one day more rest than the Heat or the Knicks. Undoubtedly great news!
The players back in the locker room watched news of another game.

Carmelo Anthony, who played in the away game, has become a big killer in the low post. His absolute shooting power allows him to not lose the wind when facing LeBron, and even wins.

The audience scored the highest 32 points, and not only that, Anthony, who played super giants on both ends of the offense and defense, also scored 9 rebounds, completely suppressing LeBron, who had 24 points and 8 rebounds.

The offensive and defensive Anthony became the savior of the Knicks. A precious victory made their trip to the semifinals full of hope.

The Knicks used their lives. In addition to Anthony, Iman Shumpert, Felton, Chandler and other key players played well, allowing them to successfully stop the Heat's counterattack.

Today's Knicks, cowhide!
For the Pacers, the next good news is more than this one.

At the press conference after the game, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau announced two news, for the Bulls, one good and one bad, for the Pacers, one bad and one good!
The good news for the Bulls is that the team's experienced veteran Richard Hamilton is recovering well and will play in the third or fourth game.

This player who started in the Wizards, peaked in the Pistons, and fell into the Bulls in his later years, repaid the Bulls with an average of 10+ per game in the regular season and 13+ in the playoffs. His comeback is like nectar for the Bulls at this time, full of joy Motivation.

But the veteran is a veteran after all. He is 35+ years old, and the average playing time left for him is less than 20 minutes per game. The fans are not sure how effective he can be, but fortunately, it is good news!
But bad news followed.

Luol Deng confirmed that there is no way to play, and so is Hinrich. Except that the Bulls can cross the Pacers mountain, their playoff journey is almost over.

One inside and one outside, the Bulls lost two generals.

In the days without Ross, the bull that lacked one "horn" came to this point, not to mention the loss of the other "horn", and now even the "hoof" is lame.

This is almost a super gift package for the Pacers in the semifinals.

Thinking about the current Bulls, it was Nate Robinson who took on the heavy offensive task in the first round. Who could have imagined it before the semifinals.

Totally unexpected!
In the first round, Nate Robinson was only arrogant for a certain period of time. He didn't even force Lynn, the strongest defender of the Pacers. In the second half, Lance Stephenson, who mainly defended him, made it difficult for him. Presumably with the current lineup, no matter how capable Thibodeau is, he can't fry a plate of "vegetarian dishes" to taste "meat".

Under normal circumstances, the Pacers would certainly not let Robinson be so arrogant again.

As for Lin Shaojie, the Bulls, have you thought about how to defend?
This is something all Bulls fans want to know, but in the press conference, Thibodeau just replied.

"We will think about it again. We did a good job of double-teaming before. If possible, we will not relax in the slightest with this new 'MVP'."

As for the Pacers, Lin Shaojie attended with Frank. As the "MVP" of the new division, he must not be absent. Yesterday's reporter's interview with him was just a taste, because there is a game today.

But the next round is the day after tomorrow, so you can't escape this time!
Looking at the many media in front of him, including Yangma, ESPN, and TNT, Lin Shaojie waited until Frank finished summarizing, and then took the initiative to answer.

"I've already won the MVP, so don't ask me why I don't have full marks. I've already said that I'm not a beauty. It's impossible for everyone to like me. Voting is their freedom. The uniform team can't force them. , I am the same, we must respect their choices.

Some media like me, and some media like other players. We have an old saying in Huaguo, love the house and the black, maybe I am not good enough, then I will try my best to be myself, and leave the rest to time to decide. Given the opportunity, I will play against the best players in their minds, but I am worried that the players they expect may not come in front of me."

Lin Shaojie shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care. After the press conference, he didn't point out any media reporters who didn't vote for him. He is so "magnanimous" and has a clear love and hate. Since he doesn't like me, why bother to interview me again?

Let's just watch it!
In the first game between the Pacers and the Bulls during the semifinals, there are too many most precious pictures left to the fans.

There are photos of Lin Shaojie walking in the air under strong lights and changing hands for layups.

If you don't say that this is in the Eastern Conference semifinals, most people think it is in the All-Star show.

From the shooting angle, Lin Shaojie freely swayed his talent in the empty paint area, and his aerial posture during gliding was impeccable;
There is also a photo of Lin Shaojie standing in the windmill and Noah behind the button.

After fooling the three of them, he completed a nearly vertical jumping dunk in front of Noah. The jump height was over [-] meters. My God, it was definitely a manifestation of Tianfu's superiority. No wonder Lin Shaojie's jump from the free throw line was so exaggerated.

However, after watching that dunk, many people felt doubts about their subconsciousness, because too many people felt that Lin Shaojie did not use his full strength, because when he took off, his knees bent very little, as if slightly After a sinking movement, the whole person bounced up. If I really took off with all my strength, I'm afraid it would be more than the height in front of me.

Nate Robinson, who competed in the same field, is also very good at jumping, but Lin Shaojie is almost [-] centimeters taller than him, and because of his weight, this talent is envied by many people;
The last impressive picture is the photo of Lin Shaojie hugging the team's former boss, Granger, and the second child, Paul George, after the game.

Lin Shaojie in the center only had some sweat stains on his face, but compared with Paul George and Danny Granger beside him, the latter two didn't play the whole game, but their clothes were already soaked in sweat.

And Lin Shaojie, who ran non-stop for 48 minutes and fought until the last moment, except for a little sweat on his face, you can't see it at all on his body. The wind in the arena can actually blow his clothes a little fluttering.

This is obviously a manifestation of a physical madman who is far from reaching the upper limit. (Of course, it is more likely to be due to personal physique, and I don't like to sweat!)
Players like this are placed in the hands of those hard-core coaches who don't play 40+ minutes per game, and they are sorry for the team's salary.

You know, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the last player who didn't sweat much when he played.
It took more than two hours before and after this game, which is rare this season. Lin Shaojie played the whole "long" game. It is really difficult to watch a Pacers show from beginning to end in the playoffs!

After the game, many so-called experts commented on this. Generally speaking, the Pacers' No. 13 is a super player with outstanding talent, abundant physical reserves, and reasonable allocation of physical energy during the game.

In short, in a nutshell, this is a god-man with extraordinary talents!

Of the 91 points scored by the Pacers, Lin Shaojie scored only 12 points in the first half. Among them, he scored 7 points in the first quarter. To succeed.

After all, this is Lin Shaojie's rare single-digit score when he was the main attacker.

When the Pacers adjusted their lineup, they went up and down, and the scene began to show sudden changes on the court. Until the halftime break, the two sides returned to the same starting line in a seemingly anxious game.

The Pacers, who found a way to break the game in the second half, completely grasped the fruits of victory in a way that seemed to have little difference in points, but the rhythm was completely in their hands.

Lin Shaojie, who scored 24 points in the second half, scored 36 points and 14 assists. These direct statistics show that the Pacers can win today, and he deserves the MVP.

Including 7 rebounds, 6 steals, and 3 blocks, the core of offense and defense is nothing more than this!

On Twitter, there are many fans who started to pay attention gradually along with the intense heat of the NBA.

As one of the most outstanding players in the first round of the semi-finals, Lin Shaojie must have jumped into their eyes.

Some of these new fans were very unconvinced when experts said that Lin Shaojie's talent was outstanding.

Their impressions are still in the era when Kobe evolved from Peter Pan to Black Mamba, and the league began to gradually enter the world of "little emperors".

Generation [-] is still at the pinnacle of his career, Lin Shaojie?
Who is he?
For Lin Shaojie, a man of yellow race, in less than one season of his career, he began to snatch LeBron's unsecured "throne," these people were of course surprised.

"You always say that Lynn's talent is good, but why didn't I see it? What's so good about it?"

This was their question, and fans who were familiar with Lin Shaojie soon answered it.

"Are you new here? Let's look at the speed first. Let's not talk about the All-Stars playing tricks. Although Lynn beat Bolt in the back and forth, I was shocked by this incident, but we will come here." Watch this semi-final game.

You see, from completing the steal in front of Butler of the Bulls to bypassing Robinson, there is no one in the NBA that can compare with him at this speed.

Bounce and bounce speed, when he was defending Belinelli, the Italian player took off first, but Lin Shaojie easily caught up with the takeoff and took the basketball off his opponent.On the other hand, looking at Lynn's attack, Lynn has already completed his shots, while Nate Robinson and Belinelli just squatted down and didn't have time to take off.

Besides strength, this is recognized by NBA strikers. Robinson’s talent is limited in this game, so I can’t say anything, but I can help you find out the matchup between Lynn and LeBron
Yes, this is the GIF picture, see it?LeBron couldn't stand him at all when he was in the back, and was eventually robbed. On the other hand, look at Lynn playing LeBron with a back. This is from inside the three-point line to the bottom line. LeBron has a strong The muscles couldn't prevent him at all, and he almost fell down.

Looking at the end of this game, this is one of the rare times for Lynn to play a full four quarters. Whether it is the Pacers or the Bulls players, their physical fitness has declined and they can't run, but Lynn is still the most outstanding player on the court. , he was still able to break through the dunk.

Lynn recorded a height of 193 feet 6 inches (6 centimeters) in the NBA, but in fact, his height has reached at least 198 feet [-] inches ([-] centimeters). Look at him standing with Kobe, the two Personally, it's completely even, and too many players have said that Lynn was lying about his height.

This is also the first time I know that a point guard refers to his height as a player who is shorter.

This kind of speed, strength, bounce and endurance, the hardware is almost full of players, but how many times have you seen him play with only his body?
Lynn has a smart brain, he can switch at will when he is attacking and when he is passing the ball. Ten years later, I have only seen this ability in him alone.Don't tell me that you haven't seen his passing. After Williams, he is my favorite point guard. He is a young Kidd with super scoring ability, more efficient than Williams , more secure."

On Twitter, as the Pacers game progressed, Lin Shaojie's number of fans increased every time.

Although Lin Shaojie's update frequency is not high, it can't stop people from loving him.

The appearance is only the first step to understand him, and the performance on the court will make you fall in love with this player.

Lin Shaojie, who made his way to the top ten in the past [-] years, is already a genuine player with "international influence"!

Right now, the Pacers in the Eastern Division won the Bulls in their first semifinal game, while the Heat lost to the Knicks.

The Thunder, which entered the semifinals in the Western Conference, narrowly beat the Grizzlies at home. Although Durant, who led the team with a single core, played well and scored 35 points, if Kevin Martin on the bench did not go wild, he would be the sixth man. With 25 points, the Grizzlies will definitely win the away game.

In this game, Durant was both a father and a mother. While scoring 35 points, he also scored 15 rebounds. However, these 15 rebounds were all backcourt rebounds. He did not grab the Grizzlies basket. To one, the inside line stationed by Gasol and Randolph is really brutal.

Without the performance of the Warriors Curry, Durant is definitely the best player in the West, but fans who have watched the game have to say that Durant's performance in this game is not bad, but he met a better player Curry!
I just don't know if the Thunder's Kevin Martin will stand up and help the team win in the next round.

In the Western Conference game, what is surprising is that although the Spurs won at home, they only got a 2-point margin and almost lost to the Warriors who accidentally broke into the semifinals.

You know, the latter fought the Nuggets six games before reaching the semifinals, and they have been waiting at home for a long time.

It seems that both the Spurs and the Pacers have committed the same problem, a little slow, but fortunately they all ended in victory.

This exaggerated game played two overtimes, soul-stirring, and the score of 127 to 129 shocked everyone's attention.

Curry scored a game-high 44 points and 11 assists. If it weren't for the long game, his score would be too scary.

No one thought that the head of the Warriors had the appearance of a "primary school student" and was so tough.

In the 58th minute, the "Moe God" who played for a full 58 minutes can be regarded as famous in the first battle. Six Spurs scored in double figures. When this happened in the past, the game would have ended in victory.

You could see after the game, Popovich was pissed because they lost 10 rebounds to the opponent.

That guy Bogut grabbed 15 rebounds by himself. Although there were only two offensive rebounds, there were still 15 rebounds. The two players with the most rebounds were Parker and Ginobili.

Especially for Ginobili, at the moment of adversity, his three-pointer at the last moment achieved a comeback. Otherwise, facing Curry, who scored 22 points in a single quarter with a perfect three-pointer, the Spurs may really lose a game first.

At that time, the Spurs had already lost to their opponents by 18 points, and Duncan was still injured. However, Parker and Ginobili played a 15-0 score with the double team, successfully saved the Spurs, and finally dragged the game into overtime. Complete the anti-kill.

Beautiful, very beautiful.

But for Popovich, this is a great shame.

In his hands, the only thing he can rest assured about is GDP plus a "kawaii," and no one else can stand up. As for McGrady?

Who is Maddie?Isn't he a rocket player?

Popovich didn't even give McGrady the roster. In his eyes, he was a guy who had never made it to the semifinals. How could he let him play in important games? Just wait!
After the first round of the Eastern and Western semifinals, the Pacers' Lin Shaojie can be regarded as shining brightly.

LeBron is about to be hacked into Xiangxiang. On the one hand, the Heat lost at home, and on the other hand, the little emperor only scored 2 points in the first half, a record low, and there are two non-sticks. an ugly one.

One red and one black became a stark contrast.

In the west, Curry is also very popular. Although the Warriors lost, the defeat was glorious. Durant also spoke highly of it. He led the team with a single core, which is indeed one of the two major bugs in the league.

Harden was hacked. Many people said that he was the Thunder's undercover in the Rockets. Anyway, this matter cannot be overturned for the time being. Even if he is eliminated, he will still be brought out to talk about the matter.

The main reason is that the western side can't find the black spots of other people for the time being, so I can only take out the beard twice and "whip the corpse!"

After the first round of the semi-finals, Lin Shaojie did not go home immediately, but went into the coach's office. He was left behind by Frank and had something to discuss.

The Pacers were the winners in the first game, the winners, but none of this can hide Hibbert's problems.

In Frank's eyes, this is an unknown factor. Hibbert, who plays normally, is the core of the Pacers' inside line, but when he is not normal, he is an invisible bomb.

After entering the playoffs, even if he was promoted in the first round, Hibbert did not spend his time off the court, but such a situation still occurred, which shows that his neurotic performance greatly affected his performance on the court.

When Lin Shaojie heard Frank point out this question, he suddenly understood why Kobe wanted to join forces with the little giant so much.

In addition to commercial value, any team with the strongest center after O'Neal can play freely in the playoffs. At least the inside can defend and attack, and that's enough!

Unstable Hibbert
"Light the fire!"

Lin Shaojie finally used the old method: "The whole team set fire to Hibbert, hoping he can cheer up. His talent is indeed very good, but he is unstable. At this time, his enthusiasm cannot be wiped out. Everything will wait until the end of the season. "

He also knew Frank's intention to talk to him. Some things were not convenient for the coach to say, and it was more appropriate for him, a boss in the locker room, to say them.

So during the rest of the day, Lin Shaojie called Paul George, Hibbert's good friend, and hoped that he could encourage him more.

The Bulls in front of him are almost finished on the outside, Nate Robinson is not good at all, and the inside is also brittle and scary. If Noah is suppressed, the Bulls only need to touch him lightly, enough to make him appear in a state of collapse.

And Hibbert is the best "gravedigger," and he deserves the burden!

Paul George said no problem.

Lin Shaojie at the beginning of the season was a little strange, why Paul George and Roy Hibbert always played together. Later, after understanding, I found out that the family backgrounds of these two people are roughly similar, and Paul George is also considered rare. Among the black players, the players who grew up with their parents have very good family conditions.

Not to mention Roy Hibbert, he has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. Although he did not start in a beautiful country, his conditions are not bad among his peers.

Although this is just a small reason, in fact, most players who started in the neighborhood and have single-parent families, these are their dreams, and playing is their only way out.

Hibbert's parents even looked down on playing basketball at first, and later they had to engage in this sport because of Hibbert's talent!
In the restorative training game on the second day, Paul George held Hibbert and talked for a while, and then when the team was fighting, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to give him a few good passes. Bert yelled "Aww".

"It's great, Lynn, that's the feeling. If this is the game, I can play Noah's Xiang."

Hibbert said arrogantly.

"Okay, tomorrow I want to see you rubbing Noah under your body, can you do it?"

"Guaranteed to do it!"

The excited Hibbert looked like a tall king kong, and said proudly with his mouth curled up. Everyone could see that his aura was very good, like a child coaxed by someone with a lollipop.

Lin Shaojie and Frank looked at each other. If they really wanted to, then tomorrow would be worry-free.

It is often said that misfortunes never come singly. During training in the morning, Hibbert was in good shape, which made the Pacers players happy for the next day's game.

But when it was time for the break, the team doctor came over and said that David West's condition was not too good, at least for tomorrow's second game we still had to rest.

The doctor's advice is to try not to let West play.

Frank's excitement was depressed, and West himself looked at his teammates apologetically, but was comforted by Lin Shaojie.

"Maxinmi and Hansbrough can replace for a while, and Paul (George) and I can also stay in the paint for a while, don't worry."

After Frank heard it, he patted West on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Okay, let David (West) take one more rest."

Lin Shaojie responded to the team doctor: "The Bulls are not a big problem. If Roy (Hibert) can perform, it is enough. If possible, I suggest that David (West) rest for a while, after all Then we have to face the Knicks or the Heat, they are more difficult to deal with than the Bulls."

Lin Shaojie's words were full of confidence, and Frank was delighted to hear them.

This is not bragging in front of reporters, it is really the confidence of the core of the team.

Looking at the No. 13 in front of him, Frank feels that his luck is really good. At least this rookie has been in amazing condition so far, and after every physical test, there is no hidden danger of injury. In his rookie season, he was no worse than LeBron.
