My vision is different

Chapter 298

If it is said that the NBA can enter the playoffs without a weak team, this is just a high-sounding modifier, then the ability to achieve "black eight" has been praised by the media, which actually proves this point from the side.

Except for a very small number of teams that are unable to achieve actual results due to personnel changes or various matters within the team, the final ranking of the regular season mostly reflects the accurate strength of the team.

Some people will always compare the Mavericks and the Spurs. It is really that the former's being hacked is not comparable to the latter's "record and strength".

You know, the Mavericks faced the Warriors under the old Nelson at the beginning. The old coach knows the Mavericks' tactics too well, and the restraint in players and play is obvious;
As for the Spurs, everyone knows that unless there are special circumstances, the Spurs will always be "unsaturated" during the regular season. Many teams in the league are facing the 0.8 or even 0.7 version, a so-called "replenishment" version of the Spurs .

So in most cases, the distinction between the strong and the weak in the NBA is so obvious. The team that wants to compete for the championship has performed incisively and vividly in the regular season, and can enter the playoffs and non-playoff teams, that is Two grades.

It is normal for the Pacers to beat the 75ers, who are at the bottom of the league. No one has ever doubted this, but Zhang Weiping looked at the speechless score after the game and didn't know how to evaluate it.

"98 to 57, the 75ers lost by 41 points at Conseco Arena."

The huge and disparate point difference made the game lose suspense from the first half. Everyone could see that at the beginning of the second half, the 75ers wanted to come back against the wind, but the Pacers, who played all substitutes, did not hesitate. Very united.

A bench lineup with Stephenson, Scola, and Gobert on the three central axes, plus Rasu Butler and CJ Watson on the side to assist, facing the main force of the 75ers, the Pacers played an advantage instead.

Scola scored in the paint with ease;
Gobert's iron hat is merciless;

Stephenson is rampant and unstoppable.

In particular, the horizontal comparison between Stephenson and McAway is particularly obvious. The rookie who had an advantage at the beginning played well, but after being suppressed by Lin Shaojie, all the shortcomings were exposed in front of the Pacers players.

Will Stephenson let Stephenson easily let go of a player who is not very good at aiming, his basic skills are not solid enough, and he plays entirely on his talent?
Maybe I didn't learn the others, but Lin Shaojie's "bullying men and women" behavior is ten to ten, and Stephenson almost tortured McAway out of his psychological shadow.

James Anderson had 18 shots in the game, 10 shots in the first half, no more, no less, but his 10-for-1 data became the biggest impression he left on everyone. Except for the first goal in the opening game, The next nine offenses were defended by Lin Shaojie, and one goal was missed.

The huge gap in strength has become the epitome of this game.

In the post-match press conference, Brett Brown did not blame the players, and he took responsibility alone.

"Facing a team like the Pacers, it is difficult for our immature lineup to have any advantage. I knew the result after the first half. This is not the responsibility of the players. I didn't think of a good tactic to deal with the Pacers. Offensive and defensive, they are too united. Under the leadership of a lion, those players I have known or been familiar with have become lions one by one, bloodthirsty lions.

Of course, I thanked them for their mercy and did not expand the score, otherwise I think I will be nailed to the pillar of shame. "

What Brett Brown said is absolutely correct. The Pacers are merciful. If it is really the kind of "feud" team, it will properly create a "tragedy!"

A 41-point difference is not something to write about, it's just that such things happen to the Pacers, which is relatively rare.

After the game, Lin Shaojie, who played the least amount of time in the game, including substitutes, was surrounded by reporters.

The "excessive" things he did to the 75ers in the first half are too numerous to write down in hindsight.

The culprit for the fiasco of the 75ers was him, it was him, he was him, our "big devil" Lynn.

He completely wiped out Anderson's morale in the first half, and McAway was also furious and out of proportion when he was beaten.

As for Evan Turner?

He is a guy with a wink, he will not take the initiative to fight Lynn, so after a game, Evan Turner's score increased steadily, and finally won the team's highest score, 18 points!
Facing the reporter's "jokingly abused" expression, how could Lin Shaojie not know?

"Although I have played against Anderson and McAway in this game, I just want to tell them that the ultimate goal of playing basketball is to send the ball to the basket, no matter how fancy your previous moves are, the ultimate goal Only this one, their basic shooting skills are indeed a bit poor.

There are many blockbuster players in the league, but not many can last forever.

I don't want to be a shooting star, and I don't want players like them to be shooting stars.

I discovered my shortcomings in the game last season, and I made up for them as soon as possible. What about him?Yes, it's McAway, he's a 'Michael' 'Carter' 'Williams' guy and I have high hopes for him.

But I also found that he has a lot of uncertainties, which cannot be ignored because of his previous comprehensive performance in statistics. Those seemingly excellent results will only harm him.

You know, the 75ers gave him a very good growth environment and enough playing time. Isn't it normal to get these statistics?
So at this time, I feel that I have to suppress my desire to attack and take the opportunity to make up for my shortcomings.

After all, with such a lineup, the fans' expectations are not high, and there is absolutely no need for him to give up his room for improvement for a false name. "

Lin Shaojie, as a "second-year" veteran, is of course qualified to guide and teach "first-year" freshmen, but everyone is in the rookie period, why should he listen to you, what are you?
Isn't it just winning the MVP and FMVP in the rookie season?
How difficult is it? Isn't it enough to have hands?

Lin Shaojie's "sincerity" was only in exchange for McAway's ignorance. According to the staff of the Conseco Arena, in the 75-person locker room after the game, McAway was very angry. He thought Lynn "targeted" He is a newcomer.

He had already shown enough respect before the game, and he didn't make any provocative actions. Why did he treat him like this?

why?
Lin Shaojie felt that what he said was very clear, but the other party was really unwilling to accept his opinion.

Good medicine is good for the disease, and good advice is good for the ear. It seems that not everyone can "endure hardship".

So don't even think about any dinner after the game, the 75 people went home early.

As for Lin Shaojie's wonderful data of 10 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds, 6 steals, and 4 blocks, he also became the focus of media reports after the game.

There is nothing amazing about the statistics, and the assists have set a record low, but you must know that these statistics were obtained in the first ten minutes, and this efficiency value has almost broken the ceiling again.

Those steals and blocks are like the 75 players who took the initiative to send them to the door. The contrast between strong and weak is too obvious, as if there is a professional and amateur existence.

Anyway, the NBA has a lot of weird data, as long as Lin Shaojie can touch the edge, he can easily break through, and the upper limit is quite high, which makes latecomers don't know how to deal with it.

After the game, Frank privately asked Lin Shaojie what he thought of Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen, especially the former, who was also a swingman.

Lin Shaojie knew this well. As the coach, Frank must inform him of some things in advance. Maybe he knew the details earlier than Lin Shaojie.

After all, Lin Shaojie is only the core, and giving him the right to know in advance is his recognition. As the coach, although Frank has no way to make the final decision on personnel rights, he is also one of the decision makers after Larry Bird.

"A player with a lot of vision."

Lin Shaojie commented, thinking that this player has performed around 15+ in the previous two seasons, mainly because his rebound data is not bad, and he has a certain assist ability, which seems to be a good choice.

But in this game, Lin Shaojie saw the opponent's "smartness". Such a player's upper limit is there. He was originally a guy with good scoring ability, offensive and defensive, but when he met himself, he was too "smart". Instead, his actions lost that bloodthirsty mentality.

You know, the Pacers can easily deal with conventional opponents. What the Pacers need is a guy who can endure hardship and chew hard bones.

In the future, Evan Turner will "smartly" avoid some difficult situations. This kind of mentality is not good.

What Lin Shaojie needs is such a "horse boy," not a guy who is smart and knows how to advance and retreat, so Lin Shaojie shook his head and responded to Evan Turner.

"I don't think this is a good idea. I know you guys are optimistic about him and think he can do well on the ground, but from my personal point of view, such a player whose upper limit is here is not worth our money. Danny (Granger) is going to change, even if Danny only has 10 points after his comeback, I can guarantee that his 10 points will be very valuable.

But I can't guarantee Evan Turner. Maybe he will score higher than Danny, but it may not have much effect on us. "

Lin Shaojie expressed his opinion. As for Lavoy Allen, he is just an addition. Now the Pacers have a strong team in the paint area. With West and Scola, they are enough to deal with most situations, even if they are not. Copeland is a strong offensive and defensive guy.

Lavoy Allen was just a mediocre performance in the 75ers. When he came to the Pacers, where the living environment was even worse, there were not many opportunities for him to play.

Still the same old saying, the Pacers don't need any "additional head," but need an immediate combat power, "silly big black thick" can be used, like Scola is simply amazing.

Of course, the level can be lower, but it is necessary to do your best in the limited playing time.

With Lavoy Allen, at least after this game, Lin Shaojie has not seen this possibility yet.

Such players are actually very difficult to find. It is better to find veterans than rookies. The Pacers have a strong appeal in the league, but those experienced guys are hidden as treasures by everyone, just waiting for the playoffs It is difficult to be a blockbuster, but to catch the leak!

From the 24th to the 30th, in six days, the Pacers were unbeaten throughout November, and once again enjoyed a brilliant record of winning the whole month.

Facing the three teams of Timberwolves, Hornets and Wizards, the Pacers won easily, and Lin Shaojie also did not work hard, averaging [-] minutes per game, and he was overestimated when he started and got off work after three quarters.

This is a unique achievement in the league. This is the first time the Pacers have tasted a full month of victories in the past two seasons without a single defeat. For this reason, Larry Bird led the management team to hold a special celebration internally feast.

Danny Granger, who was injured, also attended the banquet.

As the former leader, Granger has been on the fringes of the core team last season. After returning from injury, his performance was somewhat low, but it did not affect his status in the locker room. When a "wise man" like West did not speak out Well, Granger is the "second child" in the locker room under Lin Shaojie. After all, he is supported by Paul George.

Granger, who continues to fight this season, can play even less time, because Paul George is working hard to enter the best team at the end of the season, and his big contract approaching "[-] million yuan" has set many Conditions, Paul George needs to achieve many achievements.

This season, Paul George's playing time, scoring and other statistics are very eye-catching, and there is not much time left for Danny Granger.

But this internal gathering, the atmosphere is a bit strange.

Although Lin Shaojie is a player, he is the darling of the uniform team, and with his status as the leader of the team, he is the only one in front of the uniform team.

Everyone in the meeting understood that despite his status on the court, he was still a big boss standing outside the court, whether he had money or not, and everyone knew it very well.

So for Lin Shaojie, everyone is not envious, or even envious, because the two sides are too far away, and if he can take you to play with him on the court, it is just a high regard for you.

That's it, I haven't said that I will help you get some commercial contracts off the field, and I have gone through the entire league several times, but I haven't seen this kind of boss, only one seedling.

So Lin Shaojie, who left the uniform team, quickly integrated into the players.

On the contrary, Granger went into self-imposed exile. Although his arrival made everyone feel a little strange, but watching Paul George go over to exchange greetings and try to extend an invitation, it was obvious that Danny Granger rejected the proposal of "little brother", A man went to the corner on crutches.

Some things have been heard by everyone, and some people don't know, anyway, everyone has an account in their hearts.

The players who should play in the middle continue to play. After all, this is a celebration banquet. No one wants to waste this opportunity. The uniform team also knows that their presence will make everyone unhappy, so it didn't take long to show up. After a brief exchange with the players, they Just left.

West pushed glasses with everyone in the crowd, but his eyes fell on Granger not far away. The once glorious "Son of India City" was a bit lonely, just like the fancy dress he wore after his comeback , as surprisingly as that time.

As for Paul George after being "rejected", he chatted happily with Roy Hibbert and others.

Lin Shaojie "cut in seamlessly," and all the team members could talk to each other, and everyone gave the "boss" a lot of face, but soon, Lin Shaojie walked towards Granger alone.

Granger, who was alone, did not reject Lin Shaojie's friendship. It seemed that the two were chatting happily in the corner.

After all, there are not many secrets in the locker room. There were rumors that Granger might be traded during his first injury, but no one believed it at that time, but this injury is no longer a rumor. .

West is well aware of this.

But he never expected that Granger could chat with Lin Shaojie, which meant that these unreliable rumors might be false.

It is impossible for the team to trade a player who can be recognized by Lin Shaojie. Everything in front of him shows that Granger has been recognized by the "boss" and is likely to stay on the team!
Some players who hadn't planned to "burn the stove" also began to be tempted. Instead, Paul George, who was surrounded by others, looked a little unhappy.

As for the two parties who stayed out of the matter, they were not talking about what everyone thought.

"Have you decided to go?"

"Yes, this is the place I miss the most, but it can't accommodate me anymore."

Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar players in the crowd from the corner of his eye, Granger said with emotion: "You know, my personal doctor told me that I might recover early in a month."

"This is good news!"

Lin Shaojie said excitedly.

"But I didn't intend to tell anyone else, I just told you."

Granger said indifferently: "When I tell you, that's when I've made a decision. I feel like I've lost hope here."

Granger, who had a smile on his face, spoke cold words.

"You know Lynn, I've had a difficult time and it's probably been a huge trauma for me personally and professionally, when I needed help, I only saw the sparkle in you, you helped me on the pitch , give me a phone call to comfort me when I was injured, but what I want most is actually a call from Paul, but I have never received one, and I am completely disappointed in him.”

The smile still stayed on Granger's face, but Lin Shaojie couldn't feel the slightest warmth, but the icy chill.

"Something went wrong on my side and I needed some money, but Paul refused. He forgot who helped him when he joined the team. Although I know this is the choice of most people, I will still be chilled.

He has taken my place, for his own benefit.

I don't hate LeBron who caused me injuries, because he made me see a lot of things, but it seems a little late now.

A man who likes nightclub dancers and is used to lingering in flowers is unreliable. I will leave this sad place. Before this parting comes, I hope you can keep this secret for me. "

Lin Shaojie raised the lemonade in his glass, perhaps he was the only one drinking water in the audience.

"Ding!"

The collision of the glasses made a crisp sound, which sounds like a high-end product.

"Then I wish you a bright future, and thank you for your reminder!"

Lin Shaojie left and left Danny Granger's side, but those players who belonged to his younger brother surrounded him once again.

They seemed to have misunderstood something, and they said some witty and amusing words to Granger, which made the "son of India" who was on crutches burst into laughter, even tears from the corners of his eyes.

Apparently, those colored jokes are hilarious!
West was by Lin Shaojie's side, watching the happy and joking crowd in the crowd, a scene of harmony and love.

Granger even toasted Lin Shaojie and West through the gap. The two could see clearly from a distance. West and Lin Shaojie raised their glasses at the same time in response.

Scola and the ignorant Gobert stood unswervingly behind Lin Shaojie, with few people and few words, but very comfortable.

Whoever said that players don't understand the social circle, everyone knows it very well.

Soon, everyone who had drank a glass of wine with Granger returned to their small teams again.

As for Stephenson, Lin Shaojie's hardcore younger brother, of course he was standing behind him and bragging.

"Rudy (Gobert), do you know that fight between Lynn and Pekovic in the preseason?"

Once the chatterbox is opened, there is no end to it.

The players saw the group of iron players belonging to Lin Shaojie talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.

The unwavering "friendship" between Paul George and Roy Hibbert also allowed several players to drink with them.

Like a painter standing in front of a green wheat field, what he sees is an endless harvest scene, but the farmer is only full of exhaustion and hard work.

The same scenery, even if different people stand in the same place, they will have different moods after seeing it.

West felt that he was the guy who stayed out of it, but he didn't know that at this moment, only Granger could see it clearly, because he had already decided to jump out of this "circle".

Su Zhen thought that today should be a time for celebration, and Lin Shaojie should be happy after returning, but Lin Shaojie smiled clearly, but Su Zhen could tell at a glance that he was unhappy.

Under the night sky, the sky felt somewhat transparent. After the meal, the two sat in the glass room. The heating should have filled the glass room with condensed water, but the installed dehumidification equipment took away the water vapor.

The two sat in it and turned off the lights. Under the blue night sky, the loneliness without starlight made the two of them lean close together.

Lin Shaojie, who seemed to own the whole world, hugged that tender woman in his arms.

"Mom and Dad will come in a few days, are you happy?"

"Of course happy!"

"Then do you still need to think about those unhappy things?"

"People, sometimes the smarter you are, the more you see, the more thoughts you have, but it's not as pure as when you were a child!"

Lin Shaojie said softly: "When you have no money, you can eat well, and you can be happy wearing new clothes. Now that you have money, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but there are more and more troubles."

"It's quite normal. The more things you have, the more you need to take care of. Speaking of which, the greater the desire, the more uncomfortable you feel."

Su Zhen leaned in Lin Shaojie's arms, raised her head, and looked at her lover who was close at hand through the dim light in the room. Lin Shaojie hadn't shaved today, and when he rubbed against him, the hard stubble still poked human.

"Think about it, isn't it as bad as when you were in school? People come and go, and some people resign at work. Isn't it normal to be eliminated playing basketball!"

"Yes, how normal!"

Lin Shaojie stroked Su Zhen's back lightly with his hands, and under the close-fitting little clothes, he could even feel the tenderness of the skin with his fingertips.

If she hadn't had a child, no one would have thought that she was the child's mother!

Sin!

"Yeah, always think of something happy!"

Lin Shaojie laughed, there is no second child who does not want to be the boss, and a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good "driver!"

The next game is going to Los Angeles. The Pacers will officially start their trip to the West next month. It will be all away games, and each one is a strong opponent.

Five consecutive away games are a painful road, and the first game back home is to face an old opponent like the Heat.

In the eyes of the media, the Pacers' winning streak ended in these few games, and it is even possible that the Pacers will usher in a losing streak after the winning streak.

After all, the Pacers' opponents at the beginning of next month are all Western powerhouses.

There are the Clippers, the Trail Blazers, the Spurs and the Thunder.

As for Paul George, who Lin Shaojie wants to observe more, I don’t know if he can play a role in the next game against the team of former "father-in-law" Rivers!

Only a "hard-hearted" man could challenge his position, but if he can't play to a high level in this kind of competition, then Lin Shaojie will have to look down on Paul George.

Just "bullying the good" to bully a disabled person, such a person can only be the fate of the "second child", a real man has to compete in disciplines, a tough man.

Whether you can beat it or not, you have to compare it first, even if you are injured.

That's what Kobe did in the special training camp. The reason why Lin Shaojie didn't do anything cruel was because he was afraid that Kobe would lie down on the spot and blackmail him.

Maybe others won't, but as a bad friend, Lin Shaojie believes that Kobe can do it.

As for the others, they didn't even dare to do this in the special training camp.

Lin Shaojie hopes that Paul George can do something. After all, the season is still very long, and he needs this "second child" to continue to pay.

If you want the horse to run, you have to give him some grass.

The news that the Pacers held a celebration banquet made most teams unhappy, especially many teams in the East.

For a whole month, the East, no, the rest of the league lived in the Pacers' shadow.

Although not as exaggerated as the big ball market, the Pacers still won the first series of live broadcasts in the league.

Offensive and defensive balance, the Pacers with a well-organized lineup should not play other teams, and the Eastern teams have suffered a lot.

But many celebrities have come forward and said that the Pacers are a bit invincible. The back-to-back games seem cruel, but they are not cruel. After all, their opponents are all big players in the East.

These people have forgotten how they bragged about the Nets before the game, bragging that the Nets might step on the Pacers' heads to compete for the championship.

Reality sucks.

But for these people, it doesn't matter, because December is coming soon!

Looking at the Pacers' game at the beginning of next month, the Pacers are a standard "death tour," and each opponent is scary. If the Pacers can maintain a winning streak in this environment, then don't worry, the Pacers this season are completely You can try it and hit the Bulls' regular season record.

Some people want to see it, such as the old fox in San Antonio, he has a vague feeling that this year's playoffs and even the finals may be a replica of last year.

If so, it would be a good thing for the Pacers to pay more during the regular season.

I just don't know if the Pacers can eat this "bait," and no one has dared to try that record for many years.

Pacers, you have to stand up.
