My vision is different

Chapter 226
"The Pacers advanced, they advanced to the final Eastern Conference finals, and they will wait for the winner of the Heat or the Knicks."

Yang Yi, who was sitting on the commentary seat, said with full emotion.

"Now, I think, the audience sitting in front of the TV is just as excited as I am.

As the first time to enter the playoffs and lead the team to this point, he has proved with his outstanding performance that he is not a flash in the pan rookie, he is qualified to become a legend of this era. "

Zhang Weiping, who was sitting opposite Yang Yi, was equally excited.

"Maybe many years later, we will all remember this scene in front of us, not everyone will become someone else's memory.

Guided by Lin, he used superb skills to show the beauty of basketball to the fullest. I am very grateful to myself that I witnessed him at his best age, and our affection has not been let down.

As the hero who led the Huaguo men's basketball team to win the bronze medal, Director Lin used his perseverance to lead the team to this point.

Maybe every period of youth will grow old, but deep in our memory, I think, like Yang Yi, I will leave a special place for Director Lin. He has become an indelible memory in this era.

We have witnessed his growth, his smile, his talent, his achievements
He reminds me of a line when fate whispers to the warrior, telling him that you cannot weather the storm, and the warrior whispers back.

I am the storm!

Now, when the team is in trouble, Director Lin responds with 24 points and 6 assists in a single quarter. The Pacers with him are invincible. "

In the arena of the United Center, Lin Shaojie's Pacers were not overshadowed because they were the visiting team. On the contrary, the applause of the fans rang out in unison after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

As the darling of the players, this time, he can hug his opponent warmly.

Nate Robinson's face was full of disappointment, and Jimmy Bartley couldn't hide his discomfort. On the contrary, Richard Hamilton was used to the ups and downs on the court, as an experienced "loser" ,” Hamilton and Lin Shaojie embraced vigorously.

"Congratulations, rookie!"

"Thank you, I'm not a rookie who only shoots three-pointers!"

After Lin Shaojie finished speaking, Hamilton laughed uncontrollably.

"RIP (Richard Hamilton), are you sure you're okay?"

"Of course, it's never been better!"

Hamilton responded with a smile: "I have figured out some things, now this world belongs to you, and it is also yours."

As he said that, Hamilton hugged Lin Shaojie again, and whispered in his ear: "Kill the little emperor and win the final championship."

"Are you sure the Heat can advance?"

"Of course, I know the Knicks very well. They don't have the belief that they must win. No matter what the process is, the final winner must be the Heat."

"Well, if it's really what you said, I will help you fulfill this wish."

After finishing the conversation, the two people laughed tacitly.

Perhaps this is the dream of all "civilian" players. There are few players in the league like LeBron who have been the pride of heaven since entering the league.

Maybe the previous Grant Hill was one, but injuries ruined him.

Before Kobe became the Black Mamba, he mostly lived under the wings of O'Neal, not to mention that after the Eagle County incident, Kobe and the "Pride of Heaven" gradually drifted away.

"Yes, it will."

Lin Shaojie felt that he carried the hope of many people and continued to move forward.

When the two players separated, Lin Shaojie, who returned to the Pacers lineup, was thrown out again and again by his teammates. Although this was not a championship, they could not give Lin Shaojie this honor for being able to defeat his opponent so cleanly.

Hamilton, who looked at all this from a distance, was also in a daze for a while before taking the microphone handed by the reporter.

"Although being eliminated is a very painful thing, but looking at players like Lynn, the future of the league should be getting better and better.
Yes, I had tit-for-tat moments with him in the [-]nd and [-]rd quarters, but I'm old and he's young, not even in his prime, compared to me, Lynn His off-ball ability is the first among the new generation of players, and his ability to hold the ball is also among the top ones. I believe that even if the league has not yet entered the era of 'Lynn' at this time, he is still Soon, if the Pacers have a little luck, I think they will go to the last step.

After all, they were the team that beat us."

The reporters didn't know what the "Lynn era" that Hamilton said was like, but as the first team in the Eastern and Western Conferences to enter the finals, the Pacers had four games and four victories in two consecutive rounds, and zero opponents. They showed a very good state .

Look at the Heat and the Knicks again, but the fight is inextricably linked. If this continues, both the Heat and the Knicks will be at a disadvantage when facing the Pacers.

The news that the Pacers entered the Eastern Conference Finals ahead of schedule also spread throughout the league within a short time after the game.

Lin Shaojie, who scored 24 points in a single quarter and 38 points in the game, once again became the darling of the media, especially the off-ball running of No. 13 of the Pacers and Hamilton in the second quarter, pulling each other, which can be called a textbook level.

Although neither side scored much, the running position was favored by the coach.

An old man with rich experience, using the rhythm and the cover of his teammates to evade;

A young and energetic person who can give full play to his own advantages and show proficiency makes people feel distressed. One can imagine how many times that young man has studied in private.

Thinking of the players in my team who only have bodies but no brains, I really want to break the heads of those people and let them take a good look at what running positions are.

As for Lin Shaojie's "explosive" scoring in the third quarter, the members of the coaching staff took it for granted. It was all the foreshadowing in front, and the final achievement was like harvesting the fruits in the golden autumn. Those were the seeds planted during the spring plowing .

Isn't it easy to score after a player like Hamilton is tired?
At the press conference after the game, Frank was full of praise for Lin Shaojie.

"Lynn? He is our core. He is a firm tactical executor and an excellent shooter. He is almost omnipotent. Whether it is a three-pointer or a mid-range shot, with or without the ball, he will use every technique If you practice to the extreme, any single item will become the nirvana of other players.

This is not my opinion alone, but the opinion of all the Pacers coaching staff. Although he has the most fans in the league on Twitter, he has never advertised this. I think he is not as trendy as me. "

Frank's words made the reporters at the scene "haha" laugh.

"Everyone watched the game. When Richard (Hamilton) left, he was full of expectations and blessings for Lynn. This is what the league should be like. I also said that Lynn is a low-key person. He is the coach. The best player in the game, a team player, a leader, and a defensive master player, I love Larry Bird's decision, he chose a player for the Pacers for the next ten or even fifteen years Core."

People can see Frank's rare wordiness. The Pacers who entered the Eastern Conference finals swept away last year's sluggishness. The rest is to defeat their opponents and enter the finals.

And in Frank's mind, the best opponent is the Heat, and only winning that victory over the enemy is the best revenge scenario.

The Pacers expected this, and even many people expected this.

But unfortunately, the Heat, which led 2 to 1, lost to the Knicks at home in the fourth away game, and the series score between the two sides became 2 to 2.

Perhaps because of being scolded badly in the last game, in this round, the Knicks are rare, and Anthony once again became an offensive master, defeating the opponent LeBron one after another on the offensive end.

Due to injuries, the Flash Wade only played a good half of the game, and then he was put on the bench by the coach.

The bitter fruit of failure has caused both sides to suffer. Whether the Heat or the Knicks want to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, they must win two games in a row at the earliest.

As for their next opponent, the Pacers have begun to enter the recovery period.

One is waiting for work at ease, and the other is doing his best. No matter who enters the Eastern Conference finals, the final battle will be tragic.

In the West, the Grizzlies, who continued to sit at home in the fourth game, narrowly beat the Thunder with a score of 103 to 97.

Gasol Jr. and Randolph scored 20+ double-doubles in the interior at the same time. Durant's 27 points did not help the matter. He shot 27 of 10 shots and could not resist the "black and white bears" in the interior. rule.

The Thunder, which wanted to achieve miraculous results with a small lineup, did succeed during the regular battle. They finally tied with the Grizzlies.

But after entering the overtime game, Tony Allen completed a fatal block on Fisher from the outside. The Thunder could only resort to foul tactics to try to delay the death time, but unfortunately everything was of no avail. Among them, Lei Ting could only fall sadly.

The 3-1 series also allowed the Grizzlies to grab the match point.

On the other hand, the Spurs, who also played away, lost to the Warriors at home, with a score of 87 to 97, and the Warriors actually defeated their opponents through overtime.

This game embodies the old saying that a family is as old as a treasure. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Old Jack (Jarrett Jack) in the fourth quarter, the Warriors would have never been able to drag the score into overtime, let alone Possibly beat the opponent in overtime.

Thompson's off-chain performance allowed him to only score 10 points. If he hadn't hit a key three-pointer, his sense of presence in this game tended to zero.

"Primary school student" Curry scored 22 points, plus Barnes' 26 points and Jack's 24 points. The outstanding performance of these three is the key to the Warriors' victory.

It is not the first time that the Spurs have no touch in overtime. The inexplicable coldness made coach Popovich want to worship all gods.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the increase of age, the main attacker of the Spurs has shifted from Duncan to Parker, and Duncan is more tasked with defense.

Of course, the eternal No. 21 rookie is the eternal rookie, and he is still trustworthy at critical moments. As for this game, especially during the overtime period, the feeling of all players fell to the freezing point. lose it!

Duncan's performance is good enough, 2 to 2 is not the end of the world, the Spurs have always been the team that fights more and more bravely.

Back in Indianapolis, Indianapolis, the entire Pacers enjoyed the glorious moment of being greeted by fans for the second time. Everyone knew that if they could win the Eastern Conference Finals, there would be more fans coming than this time.

As for winning the final "crown," I'm afraid I can't think about it, such a scene is so wonderful, it makes people feel dizzy!
As the most popular player in the team, Lin Shaojie was naturally called by the fans at the airport, but the whole team was not jealous, he deserved it.

After the two rounds of the series, Lin Shaojie's various statistics began to increase. Compared with the regular season, he was more competitive and valuable.

After eight games, Lin Shaojie's scoring average reached 33.4 points, which was a full 27 points increase compared to the average of 6+ points per game during the regular season, and his assists did not change much. Two data, if you can persist to the last step, a new record may be born.

While recovering and exercising, while waiting for the opponent's Pacers, the non-frontline staff of the team are far more busy than the players.

The coaching staff will analyze every piece of information collected, and then find out the corresponding cracking tactics.

This kind of pre-work is far more cumbersome and complicated than imagined.

Going to the circle of the Eastern Conference finals, for the Pacers, it is no longer simply a question of considering the next opponent, and now they even begin to consider the opponent in the finals.

As the first team in the league to break into the regional finals, the Pacers have a great advantage. Currently, David West is the only main player in the team with potential injuries. The other players have performed very well. This is still caused by West's excessive age. Compared with other teams, the Pacers performed extremely well.

Even the Spurs, as the imaginary enemy, have more hidden dangers in their team than the Pacers.

As the next opponent, the Knicks or the Heat, except for Anthony who is a difficult target, the damage to the Pacers is not too great. JR.
Except for the main force on the Heat's side, they have almost no one available as a substitute. Even if they can be used, the Pacers are not worried.

Moreover, among the Big Three as the main force of the Heat, Wade has always had hidden injuries. LeBron has really contributed a lot to the Heat's progress this year.

In all the information collected, LeBron's "contradictory" state also made the Pacers' coach feel strange. He would try to chase and defend, and would stand aside and watch with perfunctory eyes;
He plays with passion like a fighter and flops like a clown
As the saying goes, no one is perfect, but when the coaching staff looked at No. 13 Lin Shaojie on the training ground, including Frank and others, they were all very relieved.

This is what a core should look like. Tanhuaxiu can't do things like flopping.

Sometimes, Su Zhen with her belly puffed out would also appear on the training ground, just to watch for a while.

This has almost become the most beautiful scenery outside of training.

The East and the West may have different body aesthetics, but the pursuit of beautiful faces is almost the same.

With Su Zhen's face, it is impeccable. Although there is no celebrity aura, and there are no supermodels, Internet celebrities and other blessings, beauty is beauty. Even a plain face can't hide her oriental beauty, let alone the beauty in her eyes. love.

It's hard to see among the so-called "star" couples. The group of people in front of the camera, "show" and "acting" are more involved. Everyone knows it well, and it may even be a business deal!

Everyone knows the relationship between Su Zhen and Lin Shaojie. After all, they are classmates. Things like childhood sweethearts are also sought after in the beautiful country.But on the sidelines of the training ground, the most popular one was not Su Zhen, but Su Mu standing beside her.

If Hua people were not exposed to the wind and sun every day, they would not look old at all, let alone Su's mother who is so pampered.

It would be deceitful to insist on talking about "sister flowers", but Su's mother's decent attire, simple yet gorgeous, made the members of the coaching staff take the initiative to deliver coffee to her.

Even Frank, the coach, joked about whether Lynn's mother-in-law was single, and several high-quality, beautiful Chinese men had expressed interest in her.

"No, I think you have misunderstood, my father-in-law is a very rich man."

Lin Shaojie could only "sternly refuse," and at the same time secretly took some photos and sent them to Su Zhen, asking her to apply eye drops to the old man.

It's time to go back, it's time to come here to have a look, don't just focus on business all day, you can't make money.

Su Zhen looked at the photos on her mobile phone, laughed "goose, goose, goose" and then handed it to the mother on the side, who made the latter "gaze." In the evening, she made an extra stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots for her son-in-law .

it is more than words!
The dullness on the training ground contrasts with the domestic news very clearly.

Lin Shaojie entered the playoffs for the first time, was elected MVP for the first time, and led the team to the division finals for the first time.
The news one by one bombarded the domestic fans almost overwhelmingly, and some spectators who didn't pay much attention to the basketball game began to pay more attention to it. As for that group of fans, they were very familiar with Lin Shaojie's performance.

Whether it's forums or sports news, it can be exposed to all users from time to time. Lin Shaojie is the most popular fried chicken in the sports world, and he is second to none.

And BodyArmor, the drink that Lin Shaojie often holds in his hand, has also begun to enter the eyes of the majority of users.

This drink, which was founded in New York, was later injected with a large amount of capital by Lin Shaojie, and later took Kobe as a shareholder. Because of its natural selling point, it became a popular sports drink. Beverages have to be "sold back" to the country.

Kobe, who was still recovering from his injuries, took the initiative to call Lin Shaojie because he felt that this matter had to be said.

"People from Coca-Cola have contacted me again. They want to buy my shares. What do you think?"

After finishing the training, Lin Shaojie was walking with Su Zhen on the way home. The bright sun shone on his body, and from time to time, a group of children quickly passed by the grass in the neighborhood.

After seeing Lin Shaojie, the group of children were surprised at first, and then shouted excitedly.

"Lynn, you're going to win the championship, aren't you?"

A group of children foolishly waited for Lin Shaojie's "OK" gesture, and then ran past them like a gust of wind.

It's so peaceful, but among this group of children, only one has black skin. That guy's father is an executive in a local company, and he is a rare person of color in the entire community.

Of course, now Lin Shaojie is the most well-known community resident. It can be said that the entire community is his fan circle and support group.

As for Kobe's question, Lin Shaojie quickly gave an answer.

"Personally, I am still optimistic about the long-term. Although Mick (CEO) has many problems, he is impeccable as the boss. His goal is the same as ours, and he has not blocked our share transaction.

Of course, if you are not short of money and need it urgently, I suggest you continue to hold it.By the way, how much valuation did Coca-Cola give this time? "

As the largest individual shareholder of this sports drink company, Lin Shaojie, who invested in money and fame last year, brought Kobe, who was more famous than him, in later, which laid a good foundation for BodyArmor's market expansion. With a person's name, sales can increase by [-] to [-] percent.

Coca-Cola missed out on Gatorade more than ten years ago, but now that an emerging brand is developing well, the strategy of spreading the net must be no problem, it depends on his bid.

"2 million, they valued the company at $2 million."

Kobe said in disbelief that compared with last year's valuation, the increase in value of his shares is very scary.

Of course, this is also based on 2012, especially in the last quarter, BodyArmor won with Lin Shaojie's excellent performance in November and December.

So whether it is the company's top management or investors like Kobe, everyone knows that Lin Shaojie was very capable of "carrying goods" when he was the most popular, and he took his shares with peace of mind.

However, for the valuation given by Coca-Cola, Lin Shaojie just curled his lips.

"Corro, you can tell the Coca-Cola people, let them die, BodyArmor had sales of nearly [-] million in the fourth quarter alone last year, and you and I are still shareholders of the company, such a valuation is insulting Is it?"

Kobe was a little worried about his IQ. His investment was only a few million. According to the current valuation, it was at least six or seven times the value-added. It only took half a year.

If the investment circle is like this, do I still need to continue playing?
But thinking about the data that Lin Shaojie said, it seems to be true. The pursuit of capital is to maximize profits, and they will never let go until the last bite. Of course, Kobe will not quit when the limelight is in full swing.

"I'm also wondering why they didn't contact you, you are the major shareholder!"

Kobe said with some doubts.

"Yes, but I set a safety line. When I don't touch that safety line, my team won't bother me. They are as optimistic about BodyArmor as I am."

Kobe’s own investment company is not too big, and he also knows that Lin Shaojie has a few capable people behind him. As one of the few players in the league who controls his own contract and is not tied to an agent, Lin Shaojie has a very high degree of freedom.

So you can see some players participating in press conferences and participating in various business activities insincerely, but Lin Shaojie's business behavior, except for rigid and official ones, he is rarely kidnapped by these "meaningless" business behaviors.

In this respect, he is cleaner than LeBron. At least the latter also has Uncle Weiss and Rich Paul as his agent. Although the two sides have achieved each other, no matter how harmonious they are, it is not as good as Lin Shaojie completely controlling himself. for comfort.

As for Lin Shaojie's safety line, Kobe didn't mention it, and Lin Shaojie didn't reply. The Pacers' "safety line" has been stretched to 20 points. It is conceivable that Lin Shaojie's so-called safety line will be an exaggerated value. .

Both parties know that this is the bottom line in each other's hearts. If it exceeds that, the shares in their hands can be sold at any time.

While the Pacers were waiting for their opponents, the Heat returned to the home court and took down their opponents in one go. They defeated the Knicks at home with a score of 97 to 82.

Anthony is also a ghost. This time he is sluggish, and the rest of the Knicks have no belief in winning. It can be said that when Anthony can't handle it, no one can support the Knicks. This is a big ship.

In the next round, Anthony, who returned to the home court, showed great power, but the tiger couldn't stand the pack of wolves, and his teammates continued to be weak, making Anthony unable to support himself.

In this game, all Pacers watched from beginning to end.

After winning the match point, the Heat did not give the Knicks any chance to comeback. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Pacers knew that their opponent was coming.

Miami Heat!
A Big Three who have ravaged them for many years, a team united by "brotherhood"!
