My vision is different

Chapter 390 Bynum

It hasn't been long since Rondo's comeback. The Celtics executives want to take advantage of his good condition to sell him for a good price and exchange for some potential new stars to rebuild the team. It is no longer news.

When the Celtics under the leadership of Danny Ainge encounter poor performance, the top management will also play games.

But Brand Stevens knows in his heart that the most promising player for the Celtics right now is the No. 9 player. He is one of the few "brains" left in the league who can control the team's rhythm and charge forward. + "Thigh" level players.

Regardless of his low scoring average, he has not averaged less than 10 points per game in his rookie period, let alone assists and rebounds. One-third of his rebounds are offensive rebounds.

And the steal data that is indispensable for an excellent defender
In Stevens' mind, such a player is one of the best. If it weren't for the Pacers' No. 13 that is too dazzling, the Eastern Conference point guard is the "Guide Lang" who has the final say. The Celtics' top management is out of their minds what?

No, as Rivers' successor, Stevens is well aware of Rondo's strengths and weaknesses.

Outsiders are saying that Frank is Lin Shaojie's "string puppet." In fact, Stevens is very clear that the two masters and apprentices are Jinse and Ming, and he, Stevens, has some "face-to-face" in the Celtics. a feeling of.

The golf quotient that Rondo showed on the court is the kind of player who can get full marks in the exam without doing homework, but it is precisely because of this that it is strange that Rondo, who is proud and complacent, can listen to other people's opinions.

He is so smart that he doesn't even need the coach's command.

Stevens "honestly" does a good job of commanding himself. He only knows that the current Celtics still have the marks of the past, and it is not appropriate for him to really be in charge.

Only waiting, Angie has given him a certain amount of time, just waiting for the right time.

Stevens also knew that Angie actually gave Rondo some time. Obviously, the master and apprentice should work together, but in fact, the two are playing games.

This is not a game of dismantling each other, but a positive game, at least both of them think so.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, the relationship between the two is very good, and they appreciate each other very much.

And as a "famous coach" among the players, the Celtics' coach Lang wants to become a coach after finishing his career as a player. Everyone knows this information.

Before and after Lin Shaojie joined the Pacers, Rondo became another giant after the "Big Three", and his "dream" is even more well-known.

Even the Celtics' senior Danny Ainge stood up and said: Rondo is a smart player. There is no doubt that he can see, feel, and understand the game very well, so after he finished his playing career, Will be a good coach and write about his own greatness.

But in fact, it is not common for powerful players to become great coaches, just like when "Magic" Johnson was in charge of the Lakers in the [-] season, Johnson, who was successful as a player, was going crazy when he was in charge of the team.

"Why can't the players discover the loopholes I saw at a glance? It is difficult for me to understand the thoughts of these people."

In the end, the "magician" dismissed get out of class sadly and led the team to a record of 5 wins and 11 losses, 11 of which included a ten-game losing streak.

This is the evil result of powerful players becoming coaches. It is difficult for them to understand the thoughts of ordinary people. Just like for Jordan, scoring a goal couldn’t be easier. You just need to jump up and wait until the opponent lands. Then you decide whether to shoot or dunk. Isn't it enough to have hands?
Lin Shaojie had also heard about the fact that "Director Lang" became an excellent coach. Larry Bird and Danny Angie were old enemies. Now that the latter said it, the former would definitely not be at a disadvantage.

And "Big Bird" will only be more exaggerated:
"What, you dare to question my judgment? I tell you, Lynn is far stronger than Rondo, not only in his career, even after he retires, he will become the greatest coach. I said this.

why?
It's very simple, he is a smart oriental. Although there is no oriental in the league who has become an excellent coach, I believe that Lynn is that one.

He's so smart, not just on the pitch, but off the pitch as well.He understands the mentality of players very well, can recognize the difference in strength between each other, and will not be like some guy who thinks that everyone else is like him and can do all the things he can do."

Larry Bird's praise of Lin Shaojie made Lin Shaojie a little worried about his life after retirement.

To be honest, he didn't think so far. Although Xie Zhenghe once hoped that he would continue to play basketball, but the world is so wide, if he retires at the age of [-], if he is still involved in basketball, a lot of time in his life will be wasted. A "ball" lock is too boring.

But there are too many people looking forward to him, even the old Bobo of the Spurs stood up to support such remarks. Could it be that the "old schemer" of the Spurs wants to retire as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble in the league? What about other teams?

Withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Shaojie, who had only met Rondo face-to-face at the TD Garden ten days ago after the start of the game, seemed cautious this time.

From the first quarter of the game, Lin Shaojie, standing on the court, began to collide with Rondo head-on, very attentive.

Rondo's figure is too similar to himself, but he is taller, heavier, and has inherent advantages in strength.

Rondo's long arms and wingspan, which are completely inconsistent with his body shape, are even on the back line, which can be called a BUG, ​​but Lin Shaojie is not inferior.

Rondo's static talent is second to none among other defenders, but he has no advantage in front of Lin Shaojie, a monster with big hands.

Bullying such a person has no psychological burden on Lin Shaojie.

The more "star flavor" the opponent has, the more excited Lin Shaojie is.

On the contrary, it was some opponents who only knew how to raise their hands and surrender when they failed, which made Lin Shaojie feel a little dull.

Rondo also felt the vague power on the other side. He knew and heard of it, and it was Stevens who told him specifically.

The Pacers' No. 13 will be more handy after the second battle with the same opponent. It is a player who knows how to judge the situation and grasp the opponent's weaknesses.

But now that the Celtics have the ball, Hibbert carelessly let the Celtics get the ball first.

Rondo changed direction several times and failed to find a chance to break through or pass the ball. He has been delayed for a while, and the feeling of being dominated by the opponent in the previous game hit again.

For the other players of the Celtics, their commander Rondo seems to be not going well.

Lin Shaojie's height made it difficult for Rondo to gain vision, and his "death-wrapped" arms made it difficult for Rondo to send a wonderful pass.

As a support, Bayless saw something bad and rushed over. Rondo quickly sent the ball out. There was not much time left for the Celtics, but as soon as the basketball was shot, Rondo yelled:
"not good."

West, who was supposed to retreat to the paint area, rushed over at some point. The work that should have been done by George Hill or Paul George was actually snatched by him, a power forward.

Less than ten seconds into the game, the Celtics made a mistake.

West's steal made Lin Shaojie, who was defending, run out quickly. Paul George was faster than Lin Shaojie, but West still safely sent the basketball to Lin Shaojie's hands, and gradually stopped.

For David West, having two offenses is enough.

Sure enough, Paul George waited for a pass from his teammates in the opponent's half. Under the transition of offense and defense, the Celtics couldn't stop the impact of the "Indian City Twins".

Paul George, who rose into the air, easily received the ball, turned half-turned and completed a dunk.

With long hands and long legs, his movements are chic.

"what!"

After landing, Paul George half clenched his fists and roared vigorously in front of the camera.

Lin Shaojie, who came from behind Paul George, took advantage of the opportunity and slapped his big fart drum. The nearby fans and reporters also laughed "haha".

When the Celtics re-served and Rondo pushed forward with the ball, Stevens, who was sitting off the court, sank in his heart.

The game has just started, and Lin Shaojie's defense against Rondo can be described as impenetrable, leaving no room for the opponent at all.

The Celtics don't have an advantage in the interior, and even players like Green can only float outside, as if breaking into the paint will be torn apart.

In the end, it was Green who received Rondo's "wonderful pass," and made a hasty shot at the last moment.

The outcome of such an attack was obviously predictable.

"Bang!"

Three-point strike!

Hibbert took the backcourt rebound.

Off the field, Stevens frowned again.

Too similar to the last game, the Celtics in this game are still a bit out of control.

After these two rounds, Rondo's original advantage was too inferior. Fortunately, Humphries, the team's insider general, stepped forward at this moment. After the Pacers successfully scored a three-pointer in the next round, Henry Fries also successfully scored a goal inside.

Not only that, but also made a foul on Hibbert.

2+1.

Stevens, who was watching the game from the sidelines, quickly whispered to Rondo who came over from the sidelines during the timeout.

"Paul George, his injury doesn't seem to be healed, you can target him for that."

Rondo said nothing, but responded with his eyes.

But Stevens knew, and that smart guy knew how to do it.

Sure enough, Rondo, who was restricted by Lin Shaojie, really didn't have much room to play, but Bayless was not completely restricted by George Hill.

Through the hands of Bayless, the Celtics quickly passed the ball to Bass on the wing.

Either Bass faced Paul George one-on-one, or he was handed over to Humphries on the inside.

Not to mention, apart from missing a goal, Humphries hit every shot in the following game, and Hibbert couldn't stop this guy at all.

Paul George couldn't defend his opponent, and Humphreys was really arrogant behind him.

Had it not been for seeing the Celtics find an offensive opportunity, Hibbert took the initiative to let go of Green and double-teamed Humphries, Hibbert's "tragedy" might have continued.

The game lasted five minutes, and the Pacers played back and forth with their opponents, but fortunately they still took the initiative.

And Paul George, who returned from injury, was obviously affected on the court.

Halfway through the first quarter, Frank called the first timeout of the game.

Paul George went off, Stephenson replaced him, and Hibbert went off.

After being bullied by Humphries for half a quarter, Hibbert had no chance of repaying him, and now he was replaced by the coach, and his replacement was the "sick" non-mainstream boy-Bynum.

Bynum knew that today was an important moment for him to return to the game, but he did not expect that the Pacers were so courageous, and the game fell into a stalemate on the court. At a time when Paul George had problems, he was actually sent on the court by the coach .

Standing on the court with both feet, wearing a somewhat bright yellow jersey, it gives people a feeling that Bynum is still in the Los Angeles Lakers in a trance.

But looking at the "No. 17" on his clothes and the Indiana logo on his chest, and looking at his face that is no longer youthful, the embarrassing stubble left behind.

Time flies, and the young man who followed Kobe back then has also reached the end of his career.

Lin Shaojie stood not far away, and after watching Bynum play, he was filled with emotion.

Unlike being taken by Kobe when he was "young", Bynum was much stronger at this time, his muscle lines were not obvious, and his "greasy" feeling was full.

The debut of Bynum is to make the Celtics feel like a big enemy.

Judging from the previous games in the first quarter, the Pacers have a greater advantage on the perimeter, but they have not played it out.West on the inside is very stable, but Hibbert is a bit "hip-stretching".

At the end of the game, the two teams recognized that the best players were Lin Shaojie of the Pacers and Humphries of the Celtics.

Now that the Pacers have replaced an unsatisfactory insider and replaced them with a well-known player, the Celtics must of course be careful.

Sure enough, after playing, Bynum simply sighed, and soon received a pass from Lin Shaojie inside.

After the basketball started, Bynum had to say something from the bottom of his heart.

"Lynn is such a good teammate!"

In fact, the feeling of catching the ball was exactly the same as on the training field. Humphries, who was leaning behind him, just defended sideways and did not stand firm.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Bynum just half-turned and squeezed away the opponent, getting a chance to face the frame.

"Bang!"

Without stopping at all, only half a step away, the jumping Bynum completely pressed Humphries to his side and completed this powerful dunk.

"Pretty!"

Zhang Weiping from the other side of the ocean said loudly that the former "Ke Chuan" was very familiar with the scene in front of him. As a child around Kobe, Bynum was also an important member of the championship that year.

Although the "Little Shark" is not as dominant as the "Big Shark", if Bynum can perform [-]% of the time when the inside line is declining, who else in the league can stop it now?
"The colors of the jerseys are too similar, and Director Lin and Kobe's figure are very similar when they were young. In a trance, I even thought I saw the Lakers game."

Zhang Weiping, who was full of emotions, almost wiped his tears. After the old commentator said those words, the old fans in front of the TV couldn't help but feel a little hot in their eyes.

For many people, competitive sports are not just after dinner, but a carrier to record youth, the youth and years of youth, regret, helplessness, and a dream of shouting.

Just like the relationship between Kobe and Lin Shaojie, in the eyes of many Kobe fans, when the number "24" is gradually declining, there is a "No. 13" who appears on the court in a better state than him. Fans Naturally, he shifted his gaze.

They will feel gratified for the continuation of their youthful memories, and the feeling that the old king has fallen and the new king is about to ascend the throne is particularly strong.

This is why, during the popularization of the NBA in the new century, Kobe's global fans far surpassed LeBron's fans, but before the advent of the mobile era, Kobe's attention was not as good as LeBron's players. was transferred to Lin Shaojie's body.

People are looking for another player who can take over their dreams and put all their hopes on that one person.

It is conceivable how much pressure Lin Shaojie has to bear because of this.

Because standing on the court, he never represents himself alone, but the fans who like him.

Maybe not that tall;

nor without that talent;
Maybe not in that shape.

But people like to watch this young man with a youthful dream gallop on the court, step by step to realize all their dreams.

Now, Bynum's debut seems to have ignited the embers of this dream, making him bloom again in his heart.

Even if the previous Pacers encountered a small setback, the record is ahead. Whether they can hold it in their hands to prevent him from leaving, and continue to pursue the pursuit of victory, the fans are still a little uncertain.

That record is too amazing, too dazzling.

What can be done right now, perhaps is to sit quietly in front of the TV, hold back the excitement, and wait until the end of the game.

Humphries' previous excellent performance was beaten back to his original form after Bynum's debut.

Bynum, who hasn't been on the front line for a long time, is far more experienced than Hibbert, and Humphries' talent is not as good as him. In addition, Lin Shaojie is also on the outside at this time.

For the first time, Bynum felt that playing basketball was so simple.

In the offense, he only needs to stand on the inside and face a Humphries defense.

It is impossible for the Celtics to miss West, who is the Pacers' starting five, and no one dares to be careless about him.

So in this way, the inside living environment couldn't be better for Bynum.

Lin Shaojie's passing is always so thoughtful. The moment he catches the ball, whether it is a post-up single, a dunk or a layup, the opponent has completely set it in advance.

It's like a program set in advance, and the pass is the final launch button.

More importantly, West didn't intend to overwhelm the host. He obviously had a lot of opportunities, but most of them were support and cover.

At the same time, Lin Shaojie, who is more threatening from the outside, is constantly using his ability to create offensive space for inside players.

Even West himself is doing it.

In the short ten-minute rotation time, Bynum, who scored 12 points, felt that Lin Shaojie must be the assist leader this season, and that data will be unprecedented.

Because of his shooting and offensive strength, he will attract the attention of two to three defensive players every time, and passing the ball casually is an assist.

Not only that, when the Celtics saw Bynum getting better and better and wanted to shrink the lineup, Lin Shaojie would also take the initiative to attack the inside, forcing the Celtics to pay more attention to him.

Lin Shaojie only needs to show off his talent, "play" some tricks in the air, and Celtic, who was cheating on the side, came to surround and intercept.

Those big hands also had an exaggerated time in the air, which made Lin Shaojie, who broke into the inside line, seem to be able to do anything with ease.

Whether to attack or pass, it is almost all in the mind of the 13th.

Bynum has never felt so comfortable shooting or dunking. Anyway, since leaving the Lakers, he has not enjoyed it for too long.

And compared to his time with the Lakers, Lin Shaojie has a better temper than Kobe, which makes Bynum feel very comfortable.

At the end of the halftime game, the Pacers at home ended the first half with a 56-40 lead over their opponents by 16 points.
