Chapter 268

In the public training before the official start of the Pacers, the main lineup and the substitute lineup appeared one by one, and the main lineup led by Lin Shaojie was the most eye-catching.

The fans present filled the gymnasium with crowds. There was no actual tactical training. The players played very easily. The back and forth basic pick-and-roll and fast break tactics were just a large-scale interactive scene with the fans.

Lin Shaojie's performance is very stable, but he doesn't play much time.

Paul George was insane, he and Roy Hibbert dunked one after another in the arena, and the fans really cheered.

Sitting next to Lin Shaojie, West whispered, "If you don't go up and buckle one, many fans will come for you."

Lin Shaojie looked at so many people on the sidelines, many of whom were wearing No. 13 jerseys, who could be regarded as his fans, and finally shook his head.

"Forget it, Paul just signed the contract, give him more chances!"

Paul George successfully completed the contract extension with the Pacers. There is a big difference between the maximum salary and the non-maximum salary, but such a large amount of money is not easy to get. The innate conditions that trigger the Rose clause are there. Those who want to give it, Paul George also wants to get it, but you have to do it, otherwise it will be a castle in the sky.

In this way, if the Pacers have to ensure that Paul George has enough playing time and eye-catching performance, will this steal Lin Shaojie's limelight?

The Pacers uniforms are also worried.

The relationship between the two bosses and the second child is there, and there is somewhat a feeling that they can't have both.

Fortunately, Lin Shaojie understands the general situation, and the Ross clause does not have any restrictions on him. It is impossible for Lin Shaojie to sign the Larry Bird clause. After all, the salary threshold of the rookie contract is there.

There are rumors that Larry Bird wants to introduce a brand new "Lynn Clause" to solve Lin Shaojie's signing problem and solve the Pacers' salary cap at the same time.

The Pacers definitely want to do this. After all, Lin Shaojie’s income for the entire team is visible to the naked eye. Look at Kobe’s [-] million this year. This is not allowed, and the Pacers want to do the same. .

In other words, Lin Shaojie is now applying to leave, and any NBA team that aspires to win or make money wants him.

This is the performance of both strength and popularity.

Right now, Paul George has already renewed his contract with a maximum salary, plus Danny Granger, David West and others, and players such as Roy Hibbert in the future also have contract renewal problems, and Lin Shaojie will inevitably With the maximum salary extension, the Pacers will sooner or later pay the luxury tax as a small ball market.

Lin Shaojie spent most of his time observing his teammates during the Open. From time to time, he would take out a small notebook to record some habits of his teammates, similar to the coaches sitting beside him.

If you put on a suit, it will be the same as the uniform group.

Scola's touch is really good, and his ability to finish at the basket is actually quite strong. The most important thing is his flexible footwork and good rhythm;
Gobert's height is a great weapon, but it will take some time for the "Gallo" tower to adapt in the NBA. He is a somewhat traditional center and does not use three-pointers to open up space for his teammates. Small throws are still very lethal.

Coupled with his high shooting point, Lin Shaojie is confident that he will get a shot in the paint, but whether he can make it depends on his finishing ability.

Most importantly, Lin Shaojie saw "courage" in him. Roy Hibbert was not "courage," but "reckless."

On the contrary, Gobert is better in terms of mentality. For Lin Shaojie, it is natural to have newcomers and forget the old ones.

He also believes that the members of the coaching staff are not stupid, and he has also seen this. Although Roy Hibbert is still firmly in the starting position, Gobert, who came off the bench, has not gotten too little playing time. Absolutely impressive.

Sometimes when David West was resting, Gobert played and turned the Pacers into a "twin towers" tactic. Lin Shaojie played too easily on the outside.

It's no wonder that Kobe has a soft spot for this lineup. Any player with outside shooting ability, press the pass button a few more times in his hand, and he will definitely take off in the face of this two-tower lineup.

Lin Shaojie, who set a record for rookie assists last season, is confident to set a new high this season.

Stockton maintains an average of 13.8 assists per game, and Lin Shaojie also has 13.2, a 0.6 gap, not difficult.

As for the other players, they can fill a lot of vacancies anyway. I don’t know if it’s because Lin Shaojie’s passing ability is outstanding, and many of the rookies who have been snatched are mainly shooting.

This made Lin Shaojie think of the lineup and style of "one star four shots".

However, the Pacers' lineup is more reasonable than the so-called "one-star shooting", with a balanced offense and defense.

It was not until the end of the training match that Lin Shaojie went into battle again, satisfying the expectations of the fans. He completed this "entertainment" task with a few gaudy passes and dunks.

In early October, the preseason of the 2013-2014 season officially started. During the half month that lasted until the end of the month, the Pacers had a total of eight games, two of which will be held in China between the Pacers and the Lakers.

One is located at the MasterCard Center in the Imperial City, and the other is located at the Mercedes-Benz Center in the Shanghai Metropolis.

The Pacers are guests first and then hosts, but everyone understands that for the Pacers, it is the home court.

Without the little giant, without Space Yi, and even without Sun Dasheng next to the drinking fountain, as the only remaining member of Huaguo to stay in the NBA, his team is the home of the entire Huaguo fans.

Even if the Lakers have a very high appeal in China, even if Kobe is the most famous overseas star, none of these can stop Lin Shaojie from making a big splash in the basketball field.

When Conseco Arena once again ignited the flames of war and was full of gunpowder smoke, the old neighbor from Chicago became the Pacers' first opponent in the preseason.

After 526 days away from the game, Rose finally returned to the game.

And returning to the game, Rose in red jersey and Lin Shaojie in yellow No. 13 jersey can be described as shining brightly for a while.

The entire Conseco Arena was filled with restless voices.

The voices of "Linn" and "Rose" resounded throughout the arena, and everyone was looking forward to this core battle, which also made "Piaojiao", who was also the main force, envious.

Outside the stadium, there are also many stars who have come from afar on the "small bench" on the sidelines. As a small ball market, after the Pacers won the first place in the regular season record last season, this place is recognized as "hard to grab" seat."

Among the rows of seats is the most conspicuous music queen, who was one of the people who had an affair with Lin Shaojie last season.

Apart from Sharapova in tennis, she is the favorite gossip of the media.

The height and appearance are very good, at least in the eyes of the American media. At the beginning, some NBA players said sourly that Lynn was not good enough for the little queen. After all, the little queen is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also attracts money. The ability is still exaggerated, even if Lin Shaojie has the title of "Mr. Fifty Million Dollar", he is far from it.

After the "Coca-Cola shares in BodyArmor" financial incident broke out, there is no such news anymore.

News of the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" instantly overshadowed the "China-Maoist (Russian) Alliance."

When it comes to the ability to attract money, Sharapova is not inferior, but before this, similar news would give people a situation that women are strong and men are weak, but now they have evened out or even overtaken.

As for Su Zhen, with black hair and black eyes, in many media descriptions, she is even an ugly duckling with a "shrunken figure" who has climbed up to a high branch. They are not keen to promote Lynn's campus love, at most they will say that he The off-court life is dull and boring.

Who made those viewers like these boring and uninteresting news?

Those who don't appreciate the beauty of the East are more keen to promote those Chinese people with small eyes, flat noses, and weird bones. As for Su Zhen's good looks, they completely ignore them.

figure?

Isn't it too big to be called a beauty?
Anyway, front (convex) back warping is their favorite.

Now Xiao Tianhou appeared on the sidelines, and she was wearing the No. 13 jersey, which instantly attracted cheers from the fans. Lin Shaojie was pushed over by his teammates, giving them a long-lost hug.

Those authorized reporters were about to poke their cameras in their faces.

"Welcome back, Lynn!"

"Thank you, thank you for coming to our game."

"No, I'm here to watch your game."

Xiao Tianhou was slightly twitchy and her shy words made the nearby fans howl like wolves. This almost confessional tone was like sprinkling a handful of sugar, which made the nearby people feel full. Feel.

Lin Shaojie smiled without saying a word: Act, continue to act, who is not an "Actor" and "Queen"!

"How does it feel to go back?"

"great."

Lin Shaojie and Xiao Tianhou just hugged each other lightly, the two of them are at least close friends, at least not that kind of strange relationship.

"I'm going to play."

Lin Shaojie beckoned, high-fived the little queen opposite, then turned and ran to the court.

Everything falls into the eyes of the little queen, it is natural and free and easy, and everyone can see the trace of friendship in her eyes.

When the whistle of the game blew, the fans no longer paid attention to these, but turned their attention to the field.

In this game, the Pacers' starting lineup is still the starting five, unchanged, and the Bulls finally have a long-lost impression.

In the starting lineup, Rose leads, Jimmy Butler, Muhammad, Luol Deng, Boozer.

These are mostly acquaintances.

In the draft this season, the Bulls selected Tony Snell from Los Angeles, a [-]-foot-[-] small forward; they also selected a power forward from France, Eric Murphy, like Gobert.

The old coach Thibodeau is also a bit of a pity. When the Bulls were on the rise, they encountered the Celtics and the Heat of the Big Three, and then encountered the sudden and unstoppable Pacers last season.

God seemed to be against them. Since the 23rd, it has taken away all their luck.

During the offseason, the Bulls completed the reinforcements they wanted and did not want. Hamilton and Thomas terminated their contracts, and the reliable substitutes in the hands of the old coach became other players;
Nate Robinson went to the Nuggets, and Belinelli went to the Spurs.

In addition to the two draft players, they got Mike Dunleavy from the Bucks and Mike James from the Mavericks, and then completed a free contract with Pittman and completed a contract extension with Muhammad.

Except for Dunleavy and Rose, who is recovering from injury, the Bulls' lineup seems to be unchanged from last season.

At least in Lin Shaojie's eyes, the Bulls' lineup does not have the possibility of competing for the championship.

Except for Ross.

Rose, who started the game, became the biggest focus of the audience. Even Lin Shaojie was scrutinizing the core of the Bull. Of course, the opponent was also scrutinizing him secretly.

Lin Shaojie, who is already a sophomore, is no longer an unknown person. On the contrary, whether Lin Shaojie will reproduce the "miracle" performance of his rookie period in the new season is still a major attraction of the NBA.

Where is his "rookie wall"?Will he encounter the painful lesson that a rookie is the pinnacle?

After the start of the game, "Rose" Rose did not show his aggressiveness at the beginning, but the Bulls' Mohamed was aggressive and swept the visiting team's first five points.

Then Lin Shaojie counterattacked and sent out assists one after another. West and Hibbert fired at the same time in the interior and returned six points to the opponent, but after that, it seemed to be invisible.

Two minutes later, Ross finally completed his first shot.

After forcing George Hill, Rose, who went directly to the basket, completed a layup in front of the gate made by Hibbert and West, but it was a pity that he missed.

What is eye-popping is that Hibbert, who grabbed a defensive rebound, is a "butter hand".

The basketball he just caught was shot down by Rose, who completed the steal and made a tip-up at the same time.

At the moment when Rose was given two points, Rose still had a steal.

The Pacers' Black Iron Tower made a mistake.

And Jimmy Butler, who was mentioned as the starter from the bench, also had an eye-catching performance. Behaving normally.

Where is Lynn?
This is the doubt of many people. Except for the counterattack at the beginning, he seemed to disappear after that.

He seems to follow Rose for a while, follow Butler for a while, and then rush to Muhammad again, wandering outside the Pacers' tactical system.

McMillan, who was sitting off the court, said to Frank angrily.

"What is Lynn doing? This is an official game, can he be more serious?"

"Don't worry, it's just preseason."

"I know, but look at how he's playing, how many points the opponent has scored in front of him, how's his defense?"

McMillan felt a little uncomfortable. Lynn was the Pacers' strongest defensive player on the perimeter. Without him, it would be impossible for George Hill to defend Rose.

"Nate, Lynn has always been like this, in unimportant games, he is more used to watching opponents on the field.

Butler is just a substitute player who has only mentioned the main force; Muhammad is also new, and Rose is also unfamiliar to Lynn.

He needs to maintain a certain understanding of the status of these players in the new season. Some things on paper are far more accurate than actual feelings.

Give him a little time, he can do what you can't think of. "

After Frank finished speaking, he added: "Even if we lose this game, or even lose the preseason game, it doesn't matter. As long as Lynn can perform normally, we are the most competitive team in this league."

"Is it?"

Nate McMillan said in disbelief.

Lin Shaojie, who almost disappeared after the opening, made the Pacers seem to be passive. A championship team actually played against the Bulls. They were the complete championship team last season.

Do the Pacers want to surprise everyone in the preseason?

Of course, considering that Rose has come back, it seems not impossible. After all, Rose is also synonymous with "miracle". There should be two teams with Rose and without Rose.

On the court, Lin Shaojie was wearing the Pacers home jersey. Among the players with mainly black skin, he could be regarded as standing out from the crowd.

Maybe it was because of the preseason, or maybe it was because he paid more attention to observing the opponent's "status", Lin Shaojie's cold temperament in the past has dissipated a lot, and he is a little more gentle and friendly. The tension between the two is far away.

Those star-like eyes are extremely attractive, and the erect nose bridge hides arrogance.

Sitting on the sidelines with her chin resting on her cheeks, the little queen stared intently at No. 13 not far away.

The camera records everything in front of it.

Although most of the audience at the scene knew that Lynn had a Huaguo girlfriend and that her daughter gave birth to a child for him, but they knew too little about that woman, they only knew that their relationship was very good, but more or less, they still hoped Something happened between this young music queen and Lin Shaojie.

Lin Shaojie's almost disappearing behavior is unforgivable in the eyes of professional fans, but what is everything to the little queen?

She just needs to know that it is enough for the opponent to be handsome, whether he plays or not, it is the same whether he plays well or not.

Looking at Lin Shaojie's light steps and strolling in the garden, the little queen's heart fluttered and she couldn't hold herself back.

For Xiaotianhou, there has never been any love for no reason. She became famous in her teens with a sweet image, and was soon labeled as rebellious. In fact, she is a character set by a brokerage company.

During the time when Lin Shaojie was the most popular, the two of them were involved by the gossip media just because of a basketball game. She did have this consideration, but she didn't implement it. She just invited each other at the concert, especially It was after handing out the microphone and listening to the other party's very talented voice, Xiao Tianhou became a little tempted, and even made preparations for not going home that night.

But the unfeeling person left just like that, and disappeared off the stage before the concert officially ended.

From hearing to being curious, from being curious to having a good impression, it just started to move people's hearts little by little.

The other party looked like a scumbag, who touched people's hearts and then set fire to it and left. How can there be such an irresponsible man, you have to put out the fire.

"What's wrong with Lynn, it doesn't work at all!"

When there were too many people expressing such emotions in front of and behind her, Xiaotian asked the friends around her: "Did Lynn beat you badly?"

"It's not bad, it doesn't exist at all."

Compared with Xiao Tianhou, her "friend" is much more professional.

But as soon as the words were finished, Lin Shaojie on the court suddenly sped up. Jimmy Butler, who had performed outstandingly in front of him, had the basketball he had just acquired was intercepted by Lin Shaojie.

Rose, who was passing the ball, rushed over immediately after seeing this, and he wanted to block the opponent's fast break.

But how could Lin Shaojie, who had already made a successful steal, stop, and after moving laterally, he dribbled the ball behind his crotch. Lin Shaojie just finished a set of moves and squeezed Ross behind him.

The rhythm is very good!

West's screen was also in place. Before the opponent's defense was changed, Lin Shaojie made a breakthrough from the outside and cut inside. His corner run from left to right instantly attracted the attention of Boozer and Luol Deng of the Bulls.

They rushed out, fearing that the opponent would shoot or dunk.

West, who finished the screen and returned to the paint, turned around and received the basketball sent by Lin Shaojie, and completely deceived the Bulls inside with a fake move that seemed to be a real pass.

Facing the empty basket, West thought for a second before completing the dunk.

Everyone saw West's hesitation.

"Do I just dunk? Or do I just dunk?"

Anyway, the assists sent by Lin Shaojie are so direct, you know what to do the moment you catch the ball.

And Lin Shaojie, who only had a brilliant performance once, smiled at Rose, who was "belatedly" after seeing West complete the dunk.

Surrounded by Luol Deng and Boozer, Lin Shaojie seemed to melt each other like the scorching sun in the cold winter.

Not far away, West said to Rose.

"You're screwed."

Although only one assist has been recorded in the past few minutes, and although the smile is warm and refreshing, West has already smelled the "taste" of victory.
