My vision is different

Chapter 283 Anti-Lynn Alliance

A nationally broadcast game made the owner of the Pacers a lot of money. As the biggest beneficiary, Lin Shaojie has the highest exposure rate. At least in the first round of the game, he is second only to the "Michael Carter" .Williams" 75ers super rookie.

The American media seemed to have discovered a treasure boy who fell from the sky. The reporters who were crazy about him, if it weren't for Lin Shaojie's genuine quadruple-double performance, which was enough to keep him alive, I am afraid that there would be no such thing as the Pacers today.

Not only that, the traditional strong teams such as the Heat who lost the game are all targets of ridicule, and the stable performance of the Pacers and Spurs further set off the chaos of the Heat and other teams after the start of the game.

Although this is just a seemingly ordinary nationally broadcast game, this is the most intuitive recognition of the team.

If you are not a popular team, have a relatively strong overall strength, and receive relatively high attention, you will not get such an opportunity at all.

Lin Shaojie's quadruple-double also crushed that rookie's quasi-quadruple-double.

After the match that day, as Lin Shaojie's "housekeeper," John Thornton sent a message, saying that a new advertiser came to his door, and the price was very touching.

Lin Shaojie doesn't need to do too many things, all he needs is to inadvertently reveal the brand on Twitter, just such a static soft advertisement picture, the price has already exceeded $[-], and such advertisers are already on the market. John Thornton was very far back in the queue.

On Lin Shaojie's Twitter, apart from his personal intentional publicity, there are more about his training and competitions, and the content is very concise.

However, his personal "carrying goods" ability is self-evident. During the preseason, BodyArmor often appeared on the scene. Even if he sold most of his shares, as an individual shareholder who still holds [-]%, Lin Shaojie is obliged to do his best for him. its publicity.

Coca-Cola felt that their money was not in vain, and it was a stroke of genius to retain Lin Shaojie's shareholder status. The endorsement fee alone can save a lot.

As for the Pacers, they earned more while Lin Shaojie won.

The personal peripherals on the 13th of this game were almost sold out, but it was just a seemingly unsurprising regular season. Lin Shaojie's personal peripheral products accounted for [-]% of the team's revenue.

Another Paul George who scored the highest score in the game only accounted for a little over [-]%, and the remaining less than [-]% of the income was the sum of all other players.

I heard that many people bought Lynn's mask separately after the game. When the reporter interviewed, those people even joked that it would add fun.

My goodness, you guys are so good at playing too.

Faced with such crazy fans, if you were the owner of the team, would you be willing to pay the team's superstar a high salary?

How much is an annual salary of [-] to [-] million?
Kobe alone took more than [-] million yuan, but the owner of the Pacers knows that everyone is in a different region and the market is also different, but the benefits brought by Lin Shaojie are not inferior to Kobe.

Those seemingly exaggerated annual salaries are just enough to make up for the tickets for a few more games and the sales revenue from the surrounding areas, so everyone knows who is the indispensable property of the Pacers.

As the leader, Larry Bird certainly knows the tricks here.

So after the press conference, he enthusiastically retained Lin Shaojie, wanting to chat with him about the team again.

For example: Is Lynn dissatisfied with other players, does he have any other opinions on the current lineup, and he will pass on his opinions to the boss.

As for another Roy Hibbert, the player who played the worst in this game was also left behind.

Paul George, who originally wanted to go together, was also helplessly waiting for that big guy in the garage. He hoped that Hibbert could escape.

"Big Bird" first chatted with Lin Shaojie alone in the office for a while. Unlike the state of "acting" in front of the public, Larry Bird would only say some caring words in private. He clearly stated that Lynn is a member of the team The only player with privileges, this is the tacit fact including him, the head of the team, members of the coaching staff, and other members of the uniform team, and now it is officially conveyed to Lin Shaojie through Larry Bird.

Lin Shaojie, who didn't show too much joy about this, just nodded his head, looking unfazed.

As the only "quadruple double" king in active service, Lin Shaojie has the confidence.

"Are you satisfied with Roy (Hibert)?"

This is the most critical question Larry Bird asked after conveying the high-level will.

Lin Shaojie shook his head: "Of course not, he still has a lot to improve, but I don't know if he can do it now, I don't want to stress to him again and again, I said enough last season.

"Okay, I asked Roy to stay too, I think the three of us need to talk alone."

With that said, Larry Bird had someone notify Roy Hibbert to come over.

Seeing the tall Hibbert walking into the office with some anxiety, Lin Shaojie and "Big Bird" looked at each other.

If you want to survive in the NBA, you can be stupid, you can be stupid, even if you are a top-matched player below the neck, you must not be soft.

Roy Hibbert, a guy over seven feet tall, walked into the office like a kindergarten student who got caught by the teacher for making a mistake, mentality.
"Mr. Coach, what's the matter?"

Hibbert greeted Larry Bird first, and then said to Lin Shaojie: "Hi, boss, you are here, what a coincidence!"

"sit down!"

Lin Shaojie sat on one side and asked Hibbert to sit beside him. The three sat together irregularly, and the scene was a little awkward.

Larry Bird expressed his opinion. He watched the whole game today. Hibbert's performance was really poor enough.

The seemingly plain words made Hibbert a little embarrassed.

Lin Shaojie didn't talk much afterwards, even if he was cursing, he didn't like to greet other people's relatives, or wanted to have a super-friendly relationship with the other's female relatives, but his words matched with his expressions always made people palpitate!

Hibbert almost lowered his head on his chest, making him look like the kind of big man who is easy to bully.

In the hearts of players who don't know Roy Hibbert, he is a tough guy.

Such a tall figure, such dark skin, and a fierce look on his face.

But in fact, Roy Hibbert can only be regarded as "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" on the court. There are many such players in the NBA, and many players who started from the bottom are like this. tough guy.

"Iron-Blooded Jumper" is now being gradually stripped of his coat, thinking that the wolf king was the toughest back then, but now it seems that it is also so.

As for Lin Shaojie, he dared to fight a real "villain" like Pekovic during his rookie period, and he could still become friends afterwards, and he could overthrow the "unhappy" and "brainless" like Cousins. Since then No one regarded Lin Shaojie as a softie.

In the away game, Lin Shaojie even fought those gangsters in the "corner alley". Those were all gang members with weapons, but Lin Shaojie was not afraid.

His sharp and concise movements have become a well-known secret among players, and the gossip that Hua people have real kung fu is a well-known little secret.

Otherwise, how could such a thin body have such great strength? This is the symbol of the "KongFu" of Huaguo.

Now, Roy Hibbert in the first game softened, and he softened after the opponent fouled him one after another.

So after the game, Lin Shaojie should have accompanied Su Zhen home for a happy celebration, but he had to delay it.

Maybe this is Larry Bird's real intention to let him stay. "Big Bird" needs to emphasize Lin Shaojie's status in the locker room again, and he has sent Hibbert, an "early bird", to the door.

So when Lin Shaojie faced Hibbert, he felt a little helpless.

"Do you want to be a softie for the rest of your life? That's just the Magic, do you know the Magic? Last season's bottom team, Orlando did not have Howard, and you are the only overlord inside. Even if you think you will foul, I don't want to see it." Until you become submissive because of a foul."

Some people have said that the history of mankind is a constant repetition. Roy Hibbert seems to be walking on this road, remembering to eat but not to fight.

If a power forward like Duncan is abused miserably, Lin Shaojie has nothing to say. After all, not one or two players were abused by Duncan, but he is the most powerful power forward in history. He is either the first or the second. Comparable are all legendary players.

But look at Roy Hibbert's first game, he was stunned by a small Nelson without playing chicken blood, and the Magic's center is only Vucevic, you say you are alone Black and tough, he was actually bullied by an old white guy from Switzerland, isn't it embarrassing to say it?
Lin Shaojie's contemptuous eyes made Hibbert understand the meaning in his eyes at once.

"Aren't our whole team being bullied by you in the locker room?"

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly?"

Lin Shaojie looked up at the other party, then said softly.

Hibbert sat up straight like a mouse being shocked by electric shock: "I said that I will play hard in the next game and make sure there is no problem inside."

"I heard this, and Mr. Bird heard it. If you can't do it, we don't mind letting you continue to sit on the bench. Do you like that feeling? Then watch a Frenchman slowly grab you s position?"

"I will fully support Lynn's decision, he is our commander!"

Larry Bird, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said something, which made Hibbert solemnly say:

"I will work hard!"

After finishing speaking, Hibbert felt that it was not enough, and patted his chest and said righteously: "I will use my diligence to prove my ability!"

"No, it's not your diligence that I need."

Lin Shaojie shook his hand in turn and said: "This world is very unfair. It is not because you work hard that you will succeed. What I need is that you show your strength 100% when you are on the court, not that I only see you. Standing on the field, but to no avail.

When you are tired, Mr. Coach will let you go down to rest, and there will be a young big man to replace you, and what you have to do is to 'beat' the opponent's ass hard during the playing time, Let them not dare to act recklessly in the interior, understand? "

Hibbert nodded, not daring to say anything else.

The office was quiet for a while before Lin Shaojie patted the other person's thick shoulder and looked at his flattered and honest smile.

"Don't play a good game or a bad game. Our goal this season is to defend the title. Mr. Coach will strictly control the playing time of each player. Your efficiency must be high. There is no time for you to walk on the court, understand Is it?"

"Got it, we're going to be like the Spurs, right?"

"Yes, but we have to do better."

After Hibbert left, Lin Shaojie sent him out of the office, watching his back disappear around the corner.

He is well aware of everything. Although there is a big gap in talent between professional and amateur games, the talent gap between the top players in the NCAA who can participate in the NBA is not as big as imagined, except for the "natural champion" The talent gap visible to the naked eye is more important than mentality.

Some people are determined, as long as they are not "glass" and fragile, they can develop it by relying on the original talent foundation. The most valued talent is not the most important, because it is the most basic. There is no chance of entering the NBA, just like the most important thing in a boxing game is not the power of boxing, but the pace of the feet.

No matter how strong your upper body is, it's useless if you can't hit people.

Basketball is exactly the same, no matter how good the talent is, the mentality is as bad as shit, and if [-]% of the ability can only be used to [-]% to [-]%, what's the use of that.

The NBA, which has an average professional life of about four years, eliminates players year after year. If there is no continuous blood transfusion from the NCAA year after year, a few superstars alone will not be enough to sustain it.

The success of the NBA is not simply to operate well, but to form a professional system, which is connected into a line, so there is still a lot to learn in China.

As for what comes down to the individual, Roy Hibbert's character has long been determined, and it is obviously impossible to change from the root. He can only continue to beat with a heavy hammer. Fortunately, there is a Gobert who added that the French The mentality will be much better.

For some reason, Lin Shaojie thought of "Little Shark" Bynum from Hibbert, perhaps because he had too many complaints when chatting with Kobe in private!

But Bynum's talent is really outstanding. Not everyone can get the title of "Little Shark". Just look at O'Neal's brilliant career and you can understand that his physical talent really feels like a "son of destiny". .

The blood volume and defense of the tank side, the damage and flexibility of the jungler are all bugs in the game. If it is not for the weight gain, age and injuries, according to the previous reminder of the big shark, he can still gallop a lot in the NBA. year.

As for Bynum, who is one size smaller, Lin Shaojie said to Larry Bird thoughtfully.

"Andrew went to the Cavaliers because of Mike Brown, right?"

"Andrew?"

Larry Bird pondered: "You mean Andrew Bynum? The one from the Lakers to the Cavaliers?"

"Yes!"

"Why, you want to find him as a substitute?"

"No, quite the opposite!"

Lin Shaojie said with a smile: "Although Andre has been brilliant, he still has a professional attitude. Kobe told me very early on that I just saw Hibbert's shadow in him.

Similar age, similar body type, same mind.

The Lakers made a big bet on Andrew, but eventually had to trade him, which was only sustained under Kobe's pressure.

"Yes, Roy has done things he hasn't done in your deterrence."

"But after winning the championship, his mentality began to relax."

Roy Hibbert has never been the kind of player who came from a poor background. He is very similar to Paul George, but Paul George's pursuit is obviously higher than his.

After winning a championship, Hibbert's feeling of pursuing his dreams was halved.

And as the highest paid player in the team, he is not short of money.

A player who has fulfilled his dream and is not short of money, and his mind is not particularly determined. If you guess what he will do, you will know it after thinking about it.

Spoiling and drinking, drunk and dreaming?
It would be impossible to have Lin Shaojie in charge. After all, the state fluctuates too much in the daily training games, which will definitely affect it, but it will exist more or less if you don't work hard.

The seemingly sound Pacers, David West is the most reliable on the inside. Of course, now that Scola and Gobert are present, the latter two have never slackened their pursuit of the championship. This is also what Lin Shaojie sees in the reason.

It's just that Scola can use it now, but Gobert is still too immature, and he can't replace Hibbert at all now.

As for Hibbert himself, Lin Shaojie can only say, let this big guy try to maintain his condition, at least not to fall too fast.

If Gobert can accelerate "evolution," then the Pacers' inside line will be completely worry-free.

The Heat lost to the Pacers last year. In addition to Wade's age and disadvantages on the outside, more importantly, they couldn't open inside.

Members of Bosh's group in the paint couldn't get past the big men West and Hibbert, and LeBron, the hexagonal fighter, faltered when he entered the paint.

Their "little fast spirit" style of play is afraid of such a team, which is why the Heat are willing to choose the Spurs as their opponents, and they are afraid of facing the Grizzlies.

Last year's Grizzlies insider was really scary!
Roy Hibbert, who walked out of the arena, saw that Paul George was still waiting for him outside. The two players who smelled like him looked at the empty arena. Compared with the hustle and bustle during the game, the arena was silent at this time many.

It's getting dark!

"What, got scolded?"

"You know, Lynn doesn't like dirty words very much, but he always scares me, and I'd rather spend more time with Larry than be called by him.

I feel that I have no privacy in front of him, and he sees me through. "

Roy Hibbert reluctantly opened the car door and sat on it: "There is still a game tomorrow, how about going to relax today?"

"No, Daniela is still waiting for me at home. I don't want to be a bad husband."

"Shit, you're not married yet."

"But I already regard her as my wife in my heart."

"My God, are you really willing to marry a dancing girl? Will your family agree?"

"Why not? As long as I like it, what does it matter to them."

Paul George said angrily: "And Roy, don't mention the 'dancing girl' thing anymore, Daniela is my girlfriend now, do you understand?"

"Okay, I sense your intention to beat me up."

"Yeah, like when Lynn wants to beat you up on the court to make you play."

"Don't worry, Lynn is not that kind of person!"

"He's really not that kind of person, but when he wants to deal with you, you must feel more uncomfortable than being beaten, don't you think?"

Paul George's words made Roy Hibbert's face full of black lines.

He knew the Chinese man very well, and all the old Pacers players knew it.

That person who is very talkative in daily life, but when he decides to give up on you, he will not care about you anymore, just like the player who was sent down, the coach may not be useful to him.

That's all for now!
Fate is over!

Roy Hibbert is not stupid. He also knows that he is the highest salary in the team, but he does not have the right to speak. Salary does not represent the status of the locker room.

Just look at David West. Without Lynn, it would be unrealistic for West to renew his contract smoothly and get such a high salary. It is almost impossible for other teams outside to offer such a high price. .

A beautiful Chinese who is sensitive to salary and even treats it as a privacy. In the basketball world, a hut where the source of the media's exploration is a loophole, everyone can know the secrets inside.

And Paul George's maximum salary extension also needs Lynn's help, and everyone understands that.

So don't look at Lynn's low salary, but he is a real boss. Compared with last season, Lynn, who led the team to win the championship, has really thick legs, and no one wants to offend him.

Roy Hibbert is no exception, he knows he has to work hard, otherwise
The Pacers did not take too long to be happy about winning. The problems found in a game need to be collected by the members of the coaching staff as soon as possible, and they can be made up for as soon as possible by using daily training.

The entire uniformed crew was working on it, and Larry Bird was so close to whipping them all.

On the second day, the back-to-back Pacers had already started the second round of the game. Fortunately, it was still at home and did not suffer from fatigue.

This time, the Pelicans came to challenge, a team originally named the Hornets and now renamed the Pelicans.

As the team that won the No. 2012 pick last year, and also as the core of the team, Anthony Davis is the most worthy of training. His talent is definitely one of the most outstanding players in the previous session. Otherwise, he would not be the No. [-] pick. , It's a pity that a good player met Lynn. This is the nightmare of all rookies in the [-] class.

Davis is no exception.

The Pelicans this season also carried out a "big deal," Javier Henry went to the Lakers, Lopez and Harris were traded by them to the Trail Blazers, Edmond went to the Clippers and then the Pelicans Evans was found from the Kings, Holiday was signed by the 75ers, as well as Mavericks' Morrow and Timberwolves' Stisma.

All these operations let everyone understand that Anthony Davis's top position is a foregone conclusion. In the makeup photo at the beginning of the season, "Brown Eyebrow" brother occupied the C position, exactly the same as Lin Shaojie of the Pacers, and became a rookie last season outstanding representative.

But what is disturbing is that the Pelicans are in the West, and the competitive environment they face is far worse than the Pacers.

Lin Shaojie can stay on the sidelines and develop quietly, but Davis has to do his best, otherwise the possibility of them even entering the playoffs is very low.

Before the game, the No. [-] pick Lang Davis and Lin Shaojie, the third pick, hugged each other. As the best rookie lineup of last season, the two showed "love and concubine love," which was fake at first glance.

"Will you have dinner after the game?"

"Sorry, it's too late, we still have a game on the [-]st."

"Okay, next time!"

Lin Shaojie said indifferently, everyone understands that "Lynn's dinner" represents your failure, he is a player who is keen on making friends, many people hate him, but more envy him and like him.

Davis rejected the "failure" with a reason that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, obviously because he wanted to win the Pacers' Devil's home court, and Lin Shaojie could feel the opponent's desire to win.

The rookies in the 2012 class were suppressed by him for a whole year, and Davis, who was the No. [-] pick, was put on the top again. He wanted to raise the banner of the "Anti-Lynn League" properly, otherwise he, the No. [-] pick, would be wiped out like everyone else. everyone.
