Chapter 350
Lin Shaojie, who was resting, didn't take it seriously. Looking at Anthony who was replenishing water not far away, Lin Shaojie shook his head.

"How long do you think he can play?"

When Paul George heard this, he also drank his saliva and asked.

"Two quarters?"

"No, if we fight like this, it will take at most one quarter."

Lin Shaojie replied affirmatively that although the Knicks' strength on paper looks very strong, especially Kenyon Martin and Stoudemire, these "highly anticipated" players can only sit off the court as substitutes.

There is also a JR. Smith who is far better than Stephenson. Unfortunately, JR's injury is not complete, and he is still sitting on the sidelines as a substitute.

From the bottom of my heart, the strength of these people was not mentioned a few years ago, but Lin Shaojie is not optimistic about those "old soldiers!"

The little giant has retired. As his old opponent, Stoudemire is no better. He is almost recuperating from his injuries when he comes to the Knicks. Lin Shaojie is not a fledgling brother, and he knows how fierce the competition here is.

Just like a player like Stoudemire, after recovering from his injury, he can only play a dozen or twenty minutes at most. What is the use of this?

Maybe some of my playing time is similar to his Stoudemire, but the nature is completely different.

Apple City had no choice but to make such a bad move, but he, Lin Shaojie, defeated his opponent so that he could sit on the sidelines and rest with peace of mind.

Seemingly the same scene, the nature is completely different.

Besides, the client Anthony has been in the league for many years, and his dynamic talent has begun to decline. If it weren't for his comprehensive skills, he might not even be able to fight against the Pacers.

LeBron, who is more talented, can't please the Pacers. How much strength does Anthony need to pay in order to get those 19 points.

Even if he was allowed to play the entire first half, it would take him less than [-] points to die, but how many other players can add up.

There is no essential difference between this and the Kings in the previous round. The King, namely Cousins, can get some points. At this time, the Knicks only get some points from him, Anthony. The others can only be the fate of studying with the prince.

After all the calculations, the Mets must lose, no doubt about it.

As the coach, Mike Woodson also saw it, and made adjustments in the second quarter, sending Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin.

Although Kenyon Martin is a young man, he doesn't seem to have a good temper. He was quite arrogant when he played.

That look of contempt cannot be faked.

If a person like Hibbert has a bad personality and a player like Cousins ​​has a low EQ, then Kenyon Martin has almost both.

I don't know if Kidd gave him such courage. Anyway, as a "rough brother" and "cookie man," Kenyon Martin's physical talent is self-evident, but his peak period is extremely short, and now he is reduced To New York, it doesn't look like a very good result.

What was even more unexpected was that Kenyon Martin, who had just played, wanted to prove that he was still young and capable of fighting, but the facts gave him a severe blow.

When Martin was fighting for a defensive rebound, he fell to the ground. The moment he got the rebound, there was no one around him, so he fell to the ground in a daze.

This accident caught everyone off guard. From Martin's appearance to lying on the ground, it took only four minutes.

As New York's coach, Mr. "Wood" Mike Woodson had to make a hasty substitution.

Seeing all this, Stoudemire felt sorry for him. He is also an old glass man, and he hates such a scene the most, but he is still relatively conservative.

From the moment he joined the team, he was treated as the "only second" of New York's strong paper team, second only to Anthony's treatment.

But the fact is that Anthony can still hold on, but his "little bully" really has lost his reputation.

Intermittent injuries have prevented him from playing a full playing time, and his rapid decline has become a time bomb for the New York striker. No one knows in which game he will be injured.

Fortunately, New York has made some preparations for this and introduced some substitutes, which makes the Knicks' lineup look full of depth and thickness.

Now Martin is down, but it’s nothing. There are others who can make up for it. He, Stoudemire, must not be down.

Stoudemire performed pretty well after appearing in the first half, and his power was still there. He helped the team get 4 points more or less. The pressure exerted by the Pacers players on him was not too great.

When the Pacers came back from the intermission and No. 13 came back on the court, everything began to change.

Stoudemire didn't know what the Pacers said in the locker room. He only knew that the Pacers were speeding up crazily under Lin Shaojie's command.

It was very much like the sun he had been in, the one with the "son of the wind".

That period of time is worth remembering, it was the peak of the "Little Overlord", he was a member of the flying in the air.

Now, watching Paul George dunk straight up and down in such a situation, Stoudemire saw the lost youth in a trance, and he could never get it back.

Can the Pacers switch tactics so quickly?
If you say speed up, speed up, aren't you afraid that your teammates won't be able to adapt?

But the Pacers are so safe, the speed is the speed, and the rules are the rules.

Seeing that the Pacers' No. 13 made an easy shot under the double-teaming of Felton and Shumpert, the basketball fell into the flank, and Paul George, who dodged away, made a dunk facing the basket.

Under West's obstruction, Stoudemire watched all this helplessly.

The lineup of the Pacers is too extravagant. Even an old guy like West can be regarded as a good player. He is obviously 2 years younger, but he is plagued by illness. Stoudemire felt hurt.

According to the rumors, West got an annual salary of tens of millions with the help of Lin Shaojie, so he is really a good boss.

West didn't even think that the former "little bully" had declined so much that he was a little powerless under his own defense. What kind of decline would this be?

He obviously has the ability to average ten points per game, but why can't he get a position on the court?
When Lin Shaojie held the ball, he found that Stoudemire couldn't grab the position in the competition with West, and Paul George's impact on the inside was like a storm.

The Knicks' Anthony was full of deterrence in the offense, but Paul George was not inferior in the second half. Seeing this situation, Lin Shaojie even sent out second passes one after another.

Coupled with West's footsteps inside, in the third quarter, the Pacers overtook the score in this back and forth.

"Flying Pig" Barkley, sitting in front of the commentary stand, exclaimed again and again when he saw that the Pacers had surpassed the Knicks.

"The Knicks are screwed. They lost the road advantage in the third quarter. Nothing good awaits them."

Smith sitting next to Barkley also nodded.

"Indeed, it is very difficult to win at the Conseco Arena, and there is no team that wants to do it. What is even more difficult is that the Pacers took the lead for the first time in this game."

Everyone knows that letting the lagging Pacers take the lead in the score is a disaster for the opponent.

The offensive became more and more intense, and Stoudemire felt like a boat in a storm, shaking.

It's fine for West to bully himself, and Paul George also regards himself as nothing. When he dominates the court, he, the "second leader" of the Pacers, is still dawdling on campus!

Stoudemire Wants to Prove He's Still That "Baby Bully!"

But just when he tried to squeeze West away and wanted to give Paul George a hard time, Paul George's heavy dunk came suddenly.

The so-called "Second Leader" bullied him as an "elderly man," or a frail old man. Even Paul George himself did not expect that Stoudemire, who was dunked by him, would yell after taking two steps back, Then he fell to the ground.

"what!"

In a scene that seemed familiar, Stoudemire fell in the same position as Kenyon Martin.

The noisy sound resounded through the Conseco Arena at that moment, and a group of Knicks gangsters looked at Stoudemire who was sitting on the ground and couldn't get up.

Although this was a very normal collision, and the referee also penalized Stoudemire for a foul, "Pickled Pepper" got a 2+1 chance, but it is a bit morally unjustifiable!

Frank urgently called a timeout to ease the situation on the field. No one thought that after the Knicks lost a player, the "core" striker would be injured again. Could it be that the Knicks were under a spell?
In the slow-motion replay, Paul George is very disciplined. After receiving Lin Shaojie's pass, he is a talented dunk. Stoudemire himself "overwhelmed himself" and went up. I can't blame others for this. And it can be seen from the action that he has an obvious pushing action. If "Pickled Pepper" hadn't grabbed the basket, no one might be injured.

There is nothing wrong with the referee's decision.

but
Woodson didn't know if he was unlucky, but it was Stoudemire!

After finally coming back from injury, how long has he been playing, and is he going to go down again?

Judging by the way the doctor shook his head before leaving the field, it didn't end well.

The Knicks this season are afraid of the "pill" rhythm.

Anthony also wanted to motivate his teammates during the timeout, but after playing, when he watched the defender in front of him change to Lin Shaojie, Anthony spit.

"Gua Ge" is very clear that he can crush Paul George in terms of strength, but it is not enough to compare with a "power monster" like Lin Shaojie. The most important thing is that both of them have very good low-level skills. Strong, with solid footsteps.

Under such circumstances, "Grand Melon" can only be the fate of "Melo".

Sure enough, everyone could see that in this game, Lin Shaojie became the Pacers' defensive leader in the second half of the third quarter, mainly defending Anthony.

The Pacers' No. 13 deducted his own shooting button and transformed into a "blue-collar" worker.

Paul George opened fire with full firepower, attacking the city and conquering the territory.

By the end of the third quarter, everyone could see that under the care of Lin Shaojie, Anthony only got a lucky mid-range shot.

Only 2 points!

This is the record of the two sides fighting in the second half of the quarter. Lin Shaojie himself has 5 assists. It is clear at a glance which is better!
As for the rest of the Knicks, sorry, it's hard for them to score against the Pacers' defense.

靠着第三节打出的36比17比分,步行者单节净胜19分,总比分75比60,领先15分。

In the last quarter, under the arrangement of coach Woodson, Anthony did not play at all.

The Knicks raised their hands and surrendered much faster than the fans imagined, without any determination.

Frank also replaced Lin Shaojie and Paul George with a wink. Perhaps it was because the Knicks lost two generals. The players who came off the bench also played tacitly with each other. JR. Perfunctory, wait until the end of the game.

96:82.

The Knicks lost 14 points to their opponent in the away game, which can be regarded as giving the opponent full face.

In the eyes of the media and fans, the Knicks are still too miserable.

The results were not good, and they lost two generals. In this round of competition, no one was worse than them.

In the post-match news interview, Anthony didn't even say anything harsh. He just hugged Lin Shaojie and Paul George as usual, and left the court after a few simple words.

This is the 38th consecutive game won by the Pacers. The glory belongs to the Pacers, and the tears were taken away by the Knicks.

"Do you think Anthony will be sad?"

In the locker room, Paul George was still excited. Although his idol was not Anthony, he actually fought back and forth in the fight with Anthony. This is already a great improvement.

Everyone knows that Anthony's skills are very comprehensive, very good, and his coordination is very good. He is one of the few black striker superstars who can play such a beautiful offense.

If it weren't for his defensive laziness, Anthony would be far more than these current achievements.

"Why is he sad?"

Lin Shaojie responded, although facing reporters, Anthony said that the Knicks will work hard to win and enter the playoffs.

But from a practical point of view, everyone, including Anthony and even the Knicks, is ignoring the team's record. The Knicks are like those bad teams, drifting with the tide.

Anthony's spirit is not as good as LeBron's.

Well, if he has LeBron's aura, the league will definitely support him. The slogans of "Gua Ge" and "Gua Ge" are all fools.

After successfully sending away the Knicks, the entire Pacers team was not very excited. The opponent was too bad, and with injuries, it was somewhat invincible. The next opponent was the problem for the Pacers.

Isn't that 38 wins?Look at it with a normal mind, it's no big deal, it's all numb!

While the whole team was waiting to welcome the Clippers, the "Chicago Sun-Times" broke the news that the Bulls had entered the rebuilding process and officially entered the rebuilding this summer.

The key to rebuilding is that they want to get the Pacers' backcourt general Lance Stephenson.

Rose came back this season, and the goal at the beginning of the season was directly aimed at the championship, but after ten games, it was like a flash in the pan, Rose was seriously injured, the Bulls once again sank, and the championship plan was cancelled.

Even as the leader of the Bulls fans, he was always teasing when he met the Pacers. He wanted to see the Bulls win the championship again, and he was afraid that it would be impossible during his tenure.

The Pacers players responded with a smile, and the commander-in-chief can become their fan, and his wish will be fulfilled.

Of course these are all jokes!

Previously, the Bulls had already freed up salary space by sending away Luol Deng and Bynum.

As such.
Everyone knows that there are many free agents this summer, mainly LeBron and Anthony, but there are not many who can help Rose. On the contrary, the young Stephenson is cost-effective, even if he gives tens of millions The annual salary is not hesitant, and the most important thing is that Stephenson is a sixth man in the Pacers, and his efficiency is still very high.

After the end of this season, Stephenson became a restricted free agent, with an annual salary of 98, and he can also serve as a substitute for the boss on the bench. No matter how you look at it, he is a good player and a good business.

When he saw the news, Stephenson himself was stunned. In the training game against the Clippers, Stephenson was ridiculed by his teammates. Everyone just wanted to know whether the news was true or not. Did the other party secretly contact Stephenson? .

"Please, you guys have to trust my work ethic, I've never been exposed to it."

After Stephenson finished speaking, his teammates were greeted with middle fingers and that damned "Nige."

It's okay for Lao Hei to tease Lao Hei, but not for others.

Frank stood in the distance and whispered to Lin Shaojie who was dribbling beside him: "Will he go?"

"Normally not, but maybe if we can't match the contract."

Lin Shaojie replied wholeheartedly.

Ordinary players usually have two basketballs in their hands when dribbling, in order to maintain the feel and increase the difficulty, but Lin Shaojie has three balls in front of him at the same time, his left hand is steady and steady, and his right hand is in front of and behind him. Control the other two basketballs, just like It's just juggling.

After a while, switch hands and continue.

The steady and steady "basic" dribbling action makes people unable to pick out thorns. Such dribbling is extremely difficult for professional players.

Lin Shaojie knew very well in his heart how much Stephenson expected for his "ten million annual salary". As a second-round pick, Stephenson's salary was too little.

His current scoring average is enough to support him to get an annual salary of more than seven or eight million yuan, coupled with the status of a champion player, an additional one million.

Coupled with the longest winning streak in the history of the NBA, it is not an exaggeration to add a million, right?

But can Larry Bird really match?
Outsiders don't know, but Lin Shaojie knows that Stephenson, who has excellent statistics and high efficiency, is not as outstanding and important as outsiders see in the eyes of "Big Bird".

After all, statistics can be faked. In the eyes of Larry Bird, Stephenson's playing time is very clever. Don't look at it as a substitute period, but regardless of whether the Pacers are leading on the court, Stephenson's living environment is good.

The strongest players will always be taken care of by Lin Shaojie or Paul George. Even during the rotation period, under the default rules, those strongest opponents will also end, leaving Stephenson with a very good living environment.

This is also the reason why players such as him and Gobert can develop and grow smoothly. Larry Bird has his account in mind.

If Lance winks and lowers his salary requirements, Lin Shaojie is sure that "Big Bird" will give him a contract that looks good.

But according to the current data, no matter what you say, you have to match a salary close to [-] million. Even if it is like this, Stephenson may not be satisfied.

No matter how good the boss is, if he can't bring in income, the younger brother will rebel.

In the eyes of many Pacers players, based on the data obtained by Stephenson, Lin Shaojie asked for an annual salary of tens of millions for his younger brother, but he just came at random. Just look at David West. With more than [-] million, a contract that can last the life of the Pacers, who doesn't want it?

Everyone wants to!
Lin Shaojie looked at Stephenson who was being teased in the crowd. He could see that Stephenson was already treated as "tens of millions" in the team. At least in training, the Pacers staff around him were no better than George Hill. wait.

This is the default salary increase, far better than Gobert and others.

"Big Bird" needs Stephenson's contribution at this time, and they will soon face the Western powerhouse-the Clippers.
