My basketball vision is different

At the ATT Center Arena, the domestic netizens "7, Ye," "Lushanyue" and "Song Jitao" who managed to grab the tickets walked together and sat in a good seat.

Although it's not time for the holidays yet, it was hard to see the finals where the Chinese occupied the C position, so many netizens in China raised their arms and shouted, and went to the beautiful country to watch Lin's play.

These qualified netizens are "pioneers." They can grab tickets to come to the scene, not only because they have money and leisure.

Before the departure, a few people specifically stated in the forum that they would bring the hope of netizens in the circle, at least to meet Lin Shaojie, and they would come back with a signed jersey to finish the job.

Sitting at the Spurs' home court at this time, with nearly 2 people, most of them are Spurs fans. The Spurs at home are mainly wearing white jerseys, and the Pacers wearing away jerseys are all yellow.

The few people sitting on the stage were a little embarrassed. Although they were all in white, they were Lin Shaojie's No. 13 Pacers' yellow and white home jerseys. A little red.

But if you look closely, many young people who are similar to their age are wearing the No. 13 jersey of the Pacers. Most of them may even be parents who brought their children to watch the Spurs game. The father is a Spurs fan, but the children Indeed Lin Shaojie's fans.

The positions of the three of them are not bad, in the middle, and close to the player tunnel, they have the opportunity to chat with Lin Shaojie.

Moreover, there were not a few Chinese in Texas at the scene, and there were scattered among them with signs holding "Lynn, come on".

Opened Weibo, and a series of pictures of "Lushanyue" were posted.

2424 Niuniu: I envy the blogger watching the game on the spot. I feel that Director Lin is quite tall in the photos. I usually don’t see it on the court. Is he very thin?

Lu Shanyue: This is the first time I saw the live-action version of Director Lin. He is really handsome. He is much more handsome than on TV. The moment I saw him, I felt that the whole person was shining. He must be taller than ordinary people. But it can't be seen among the players, the appearance of a middle-aged man.

Gu Yefeng 1360: What a middle-aged figure, I also want to have such a middle-aged figure. Compared with the London Olympics, I feel that he is a whole circle bigger. Although his arms are not good enough to run a horse, his muscle lines are too good up.

Song Jitao: Those upstairs, of course Director Lin is strong, otherwise how could he withstand the impact of other people? TNT TV broadcast the Pacers’ training video before, and there was Director Lin’s figure in it. kind.

Chuangwei: Are these muscles really good-looking?Why does it feel like it looks a little scary, will it punch...

7. Ye: Absolutely one punch and one monster, I have a physique that even the emperor can't beat, one against five in the passerby game, by the way, Song Jitao, Lu Shanyue, I and I are all on the scene, and we will broadcast live for everyone at any time.

Gu Yefeng 1360: There is no picture upstairs about a Jaguar, send it quickly, the domestic host is still gossip about the scene.

Go with your feelings: Can you say a little bit off-topic, didn’t you always say that Director Lin’s girlfriend is Jiangnan’s school belle? Whether he came to the scene or not, this is the key battle for Director Lin.

Lu Shanyue: I didn't see it, anyway, I've seen the photos, and the two are a good match, but the one upstairs, don't you know that as long as you are brave, the school beauty will take maternity leave?Director Lin is one step ahead, step by step. When I think of Director Lin with a trophy in his left hand and his girlfriend in his right hand, and a cub in his arms, my heart aches!

Da Mo, Sha Ruxue: Come on, blogger, tell me your sad past, so that I can be happy.

Lu Shanyue: (￣_,￣) All friends!

Song Jitao: Stop talking nonsense, the competition will start immediately.

After the warm-up was over, the three old friends at the scene successively posted hot photos of the scene, and many netizens also saw the live pictures that were not broadcast by the TV station.

It's white, it's big, and it's hot!

Although the lens is not very clear, but the brain is enough.

On the side of the Pacers, Hibbert looked at the devil's home court, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, and at the same time somewhat daunting. He always felt uncomfortable. He seemed to think of the feeling of being notified by Duncan again.

It shouldn't be that miserable!

Seeing the main lineup enter the field one after another, Danny Granger couldn't hide the envy in his eyes. He also wanted to appear in this competition with the highest level of competition.

However, as the former "leader" of the Pacers, the son of Yincheng, Granger has never had the opportunity to step into the finals. Everything in front of him makes him feel that hope is in front of him. Although he did not pay much, he is also A member of Indian City.

Granger, who has publicly acknowledged Lin Shaojie's status in the team, from his observations, Lin Shaojie is as calm as a robot on the court, able to make adjustments anytime and anywhere.

During the regular season, this rookie was absolutely outstanding, like a wizard on the court.When it comes to the playoffs, all "elfs" will be consumed by this cruel confrontation. The players who can have a brilliant performance are all players with extraordinary talents and outstanding abilities.

Even though Granger overestimated it again and again, he never expected that his teammate Tanhuaxiu would have such a performance.

He is not like some players in other teams who have the ability to inspire his teammates like a great orator. Lin Shaojie's speech is quite satisfactory, and his ability to "burn fire" is reasonable, but it is strange that his words can always be heard in that place. Time irritates you, especially opponents are easily irritated by words and lose their minds on the court.

Such a reserved but not emotional, methodical team leader is competent enough for any team.

Not relying on hands, just opening his mouth, it is estimated that many people want to tear him apart.

In his rookie season, Lin Shaojie, who was not far away, was able to be himself almost without interference, with a clear and clear goal. For the ultimate goal, he could do a lot.

for example......

From Granger's point of view, Luo Yin Hibbert made inexplicable mistakes on some occasions. He would definitely criticize him before he was injured, but Lin Shaojie kept encouraging his teammates instead;

David West only played a game once in a while, and was seized by his opponent (LeBron) and left due to injury. If he was replaced by Granger, he might have to fight with the opponent to prove his locker room Let's talk about authority.

But Lin Shaojie suppressed the flames of anger and counterattacked his opponent with victory.

Paul George's performance is generally good, so he can become Lin Shaojie's right-hand man, but George Hill is not qualified for half of the playoffs, or does not meet the requirements of coach Frank.

The latter's requirements for defense made George Hill have a polarized level. If it weren't for Lin Shaojie's request, it would be difficult for George Hill to continue to be Lin Shaojie's passer. The tacit cooperation between the two sides also covered up A lot of George Hill's disadvantages.

The many minor problems of the Pacers were seen by him, the "substitute player" sitting on the sidelines. Granger felt that he also had the mentality of some coaches or uniforms, and even he himself couldn't explain why.

Is it to prepare for re-employment after retiring from the military?

But Granger is not yet ready to retire. His injury has affected him, and his performance this season must be mediocre. However, during the offseason, he will regain his form as soon as possible and start again next season.

The record in front of him seems to be moving towards the good side, and Granger is not without worries. No matter how good the current situation looks, how bright the future is, or even being praised by others, there are Everything can't be changed. After the Pacers entered the "Lynn era", the demand for Lynn increased day by day, and the Pacers couldn't do without this guy for the time being.

Granger is very aware of the importance of this need, unlike himself, Paul George can still fill in when he is gone.

Hibbert and even West and others are not there, and there is Mahinmi on the bench, and Hansbrough and others can step up.

But what about Lynn?

George Hill can take care of part of the organizational tasks, but who will do the breakthrough when the attack is tough?It is impossible to place all the burden on Paul George;

Paul George can have a Lynn level of 0.6 or even 0.7 on both ends of the offense and defense, but he has no organization, or the organization is not that good. He is not too calm on the court, and it is difficult to drive his teammates when he is playing alone.

So it seems that Lynn didn't play much time during the regular season, but he often ends up leading the overall game. When he sits back and relax, every player can perform well under the wind and water, but every time it comes to the attack, he rushes to the front line. Most of the people on the front line are Lynn.

So Granger was still worried about this situation.

After many teams adapt to an important player, they cannot do without it and become the core.Lin En, who always talks about this important and that important, seems to have forgotten that he is the most important.

If the Spurs completely limit Lynn, then...

Granger couldn't imagine that happening.

On the Spurs bench not far from the Pacers, sat a familiar figure.

In the auditorium, the three people who came from afar could see at a glance the player who once wore the Magic, Rockets No. [-] and even No. [-] jerseys.

Compared with Lin Shaojie in the yellow jersey on the field, although the latter is not in white, but the feeling of "white horse and silver spear floating like a poem, invincible as a teenager" is stronger, on the contrary, he is on the bench Tracy McGrady was dressed in white, still wearing the No. 1 jersey, but without the look of the past.

Several pictures of "Lushanyue" came out. Fans who saw these pictures would have a feeling of traveling through time and space, and things are different.

A young man in high spirits, in charge of a team;

One is already very old, and has come to the end of his career when he is questioned "whether he can still eat".

Sitting next to McGrady is another main substitute player for the Spurs.

Gary Neal, who was born as a non-draft player, is not conspicuous among them, and even many fans are not familiar with him.

He didn't look like a top pick, and he didn't have the hype of the lottery. He started off very well. Neil, who was a famous figure in high school, was accused of being "strong" on the eve of the draft. Everything he imagined was like fireworks, and then disappeared. In the end, I could only live outside and wasted a lot of time.

Gary Neal was finally selected by the Spurs in 10 and joined the NBA. Now people work and live here.

Neil, who thought he would continue to be so decadent, was saved by Popovich in his career.

For three years, he was a "bench gangster" member of the Spurs. Although he was not comparable to a player like Ginobili, as the No. 14 player, he can be said to be in better and better condition.

In three years, he has also gone from a player who has almost no chance to start, to this season, he has won a quarter of the starts in the Spurs, with an average playing time of 20 minutes per game, and an average of nearly 10 points per game in the regular season. This also makes Gary Neal's position in the Spurs very solid.

It can even be said that Gary Neal integrated into the team faster than Splitter, the main player. Unfortunately, the current Spurs lack big men, and Splitter is more suitable for starting.

In other words, in the entire league, each team lacks big men, and Split, who is obviously less efficient in scoring, has occupied the starting position for two-thirds of the time this season.

In fact, the average playing time between the two is only 3 minutes apart, that's all.

But the status in the team is very different, Gary Neal can only get that limited time.

As for the "newcomer" McGrady in the team, the impression of many players is not very good. It doesn't feel good to be picked by others after working hard to make it to the playoffs.

More importantly, McGrady doesn't have much experience in the playoffs, let alone finals experience. Even in the eyes of Gary Neal, McGrady is just a pseudo super giant.

Of course, no matter how you say it, the opponent is also a superstar with a glorious past. A non-draft player like him, a player who is not upright and not popular, has been in tears since he stepped on the basketball court.

Look at Lin Shaojie on the court. Everything he has shown since he entered the league is envied by others. This is the super giant in the future. How many players are envious of leading the team all the way to the finals.

What Gary Neal didn't even dare to dream of, was actually realized by that guy.

The Spurs are now at a critical moment, no matter how righteous the players said before the game, 2-0 is the fact before everyone's eyes, just like the Heat, if the opponent gets a 3-0 advantage, the ending it goes without saying.

So in any case, this game must be won, and Gary Neal feels that he should do something.

After the start of the game, the Spurs took the lead at home to enter the state. Without the psychological burden of Tim Duncan, the advantage in the interior was too great. One person was used as two people. Hibbert and West, who was not in good shape, could not stop live.

Parker also lost the courageous momentum of the previous round, became more rational, and played the ball faster. The Spurs' basketball can always be passed into the interior in the first time.

What is even more surprising is that Duncan is not the main attacker in this quarter. Although he can crush his opponents with experience when facing Hibbert, a big player over seven feet tall stands inside, and Duncan Also think about it.

Duncan, who has transformed from an inside attacker into a central axis, is quite terrifying.

Hibbert didn't dare to relax in any way towards him, and West was also always paying attention to the sidelines. One person's offense can attract the attention of two people, which will inevitably turn Duncan's pass into an assist.

Split therefore also enjoyed the taste of being fed cakes.

In the first round, Duncan turned around and dunked from time to time, and the pace under his feet could make Hibbert rebuild again;

Or the moment Duncan turned around and seemed to dunk, the basketball was handed over by him to Splitter;

Or after attracting other Pacers players to double-team them, Duncan passed the basketball in an instant, and Danny Green on the outside benefited.

Throughout the first round, Parker only did one thing as a guard, which was to bring the basketball across the court and let Duncan handle it.

Duncan is the center point guard, very much like the Kings' Webber and Divac.

A tactic that should have been gorgeous, but was used in Duncan's hands, so boring.

Lin Shaojie of the Pacers, his defensive threat on the perimeter has been greatly reduced. The No. 13 of the Pacers can't rush to the inside to help defend again and again.

Duncan, who can come by himself and pass the ball, showed the deterrent power of "the number one power forward in history".

Fortunately, the Pacers' offense is passable, Hibbert and the others can't open it, but the three-man shooting from the outside is fairly accurate, and the point difference can barely keep up.

During the rotation period, Ginobili and Gary Neal were replaced, and Parker and others were replaced instead.

Parker, who has been fighting continuously, is also Popovich's darling. The latter also needs to let the main force rest. In this almost life-and-death game, France Trot will need to continue to contribute.

Gary Neal, who replaced him, was a little excited. He only had one task to play, catch the ball and then shoot.

Popovich doesn't need him to handle the dribble, just shoot when he receives the ball. This is also Popovich's tactic.

When Lin Shaojie and even Frank and others were still wondering why the Spurs would send a substitute, Ginobili had already started to attack the inside.

Gary Neal, who was being defended by George Hill, got a lot of opportunities.

From the end of the first quarter to the second quarter, Gary Neal, who was playing more and more smoothly, actually kept catching and shooting from the outside, opening up the point difference in an instant.

When Frank called a timeout, Gary Neal made four three-pointers by himself, including a 3+1, which caused George Hill to foul.

The point difference suddenly came to more than double digits.

When George Hill faced this kind of "pitcher" who was smooth and not afraid of interference, the defensive threat was reduced to the extreme.

After returning from the timeout, he managed to hurry up and try to close the point difference to within double digits. Unexpectedly, as soon as Gary Neal was pushed down, something happened to Danny Green on the other side.

Facing the defender Paul George after the rotation, Green's two three-pointers instantly blinded the opponent.

The point difference that was originally trying to narrow was widened again. When the halftime whistle sounded, Paul George looked at the scoreboard in disbelief.

55 to 42, 13 points difference, the Pacers fell behind their opponents.

The three fans who came from afar in the audience didn't feel good. In the second half, Lance Stephenson replaced George Hill. The offensive Spurs obviously wanted to widen the point difference. They had to invest in defenders on the outside.

Press the gourd to float the scoop, and Duncan acts as the center axis to allow the Spurs to play the effect of connecting the inside and outside. Coupled with the precision of outside firepower, the Pacers were instantly stunned.

In the third quarter, Duncan, who continued to play an advantage, made the Pacers a little bit bothered. Duncan, who only scored 6 points in this quarter, grabbed 6 rebounds in this quarter, including [-] offensive rebounds.

Hibbert and West were blasted to pieces. Lin Shaojie frantically looked for shots from the outside, but the Spurs took turns sending substitute players, including players like Kerry Joseph.

Those players who scored zero and did not have much "use" became cannon fodder, and the only purpose of playing was to consume their fouls.

After several players continued to pay the price of fouls, the possibility of Lin Shaojie wanting to shoot from the outside was stifled by the Spurs.

The "shark hacking" tactic has changed in a different way, and an alternative has appeared in the hands of the Spurs.

For the Pacers, you can play inside, but if you want to shoot outside, or let Lynn shoot, don't even think about it, it's impossible.

The Spurs player's crazy fouls and the Pacers' player who prevented him from passing the ball to Lin Shaojie, if the latter got the ball, it would be even more straightforward to look for opportunities to start.

If Lin Shaojie's non-stop free throws in the last game made the game intermittent, then in this game, the Spurs have made the game fragmented and there is nothing to watch.

The three fans sitting in the auditorium saw all this and didn't know what to say.

In order to win the championship, the Spurs frantically used the "crowd tactics" to consume the Pacers' outside scoring and passing ability.

Hibbert's whole mental state was out of order. Earlier, there was a strange move with the ball in his heart and without the ball in his hand. He dunked under the Spurs basket empty-handed. This is no joke!

Frank immediately replaced Royne Hibbert with Mahinmi.

But for the whole game, there is not much improvement.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the point difference had widened to more than [-] points, a point difference that was especially "safety line" for Pacers opponents.

It's a pity that they usually bring it to their opponents, but this time, they are the ones who are behind.

The game was ugly and there was no hope of a comeback, so Frank replaced the main team.

Lin Shaojie's face was covered with a towel, and he failed again. Although the game was not over, but watching the Spurs play more and more confidently, the Pacers players began to take turns to understand what the Spurs' sanctions are.

The Spurs, who had taken the lead, did not give the Pacers any chance to comeback.

Gary Neal, who had long been forced off the field due to a foul, only played 25 minutes in this game, but he and Danny Green jointly contributed 13 three-pointers.

The final score of 113 to 91 was the biggest difference the Pacers lost during the playoffs-22 points!

With a total score of 2 to 1, the Spurs pulled back a victory.

The moment the referee blew the end of the game, the Spurs players hugged one by one, sweat soaked Paul George's shirt, he also got off the field with Lin Shaojie a few minutes ago.

When the final whistle blew, Lin Shaojie took off the towel covering his face and walked towards the player tunnel. How could the media surrounding him let go of this league's most popular fried chicken? Same.

The process of this game is ugly, but the score is very good.

"Who can limit the Pacers' NO.13?"

This topic has been hyped for more than half a year, and now it seems to have become a reality.

Is it a foul tactic, a "shark hacking tactic" with a change of direction, or a variant of the Princeton system, playing the role of Duncan's central axis?

Anyway, a lot to watch!

"There are many reasons for failure. I will congratulate my opponent, but I can answer you 100%. I will win the next game."

Lin Shaojie squeezed away the media and continued to walk forward.

"Director Lin, we believe that you will win, and you will."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shaojie happily raised his head and looked over.

"Come on, Guidance Lin!"

The three people in front of him looked to be students from China. Hearing the familiar accent, Lin Shaojie smiled and waved to the fans in the auditorium.

"I will definitely win the next game, and I won't let you down."

Lin Shaojie's figure went further and further away, and the sound of congratulations in the auditorium could not cover up the crying of some young fans. Right next to Lu Shanyue and the other three, there was a little guy crying with tears all over his face. His father was standing beside him. Ben Tiaotiao celebrated the Spurs' victory.

With tears in his eyes, the little guy punched and kicked his father with his small arms and legs, never giving up, but the actual lethality was zero.

"It's all your fault, if you don't say 'come on,' Lynn will win the game."

"La la la, we won, we won..."

"I hate you, Dad."

"Tim MVP, Tim MVP!"

Lu Shanyue and others looked back, and the Spurs players had already begun to celebrate, even McGrady, who was a substitute, was among them.

Wearing the No. 1 jersey, he played only 7 minutes in this game, but under the arrangement of the head coach, he paid the price of 4 fouls. In terms of other statistics, he scored no points, 2 assists and 1 goal. Backboards.

Looking at the other party's cheers now, I'm afraid it's the feeling of "lost and regained"!

"Would you like to watch the next game?"

Lu Shanyue asked suddenly.

"Look, why don't you watch it? I thought I could witness Lin's victory at the Spurs' home court when I came to Beautiful Country. Now it seems that I can only see it in Indiana at the earliest, and it will cost a lot of money."

"It's not a loss if I can see it, I'm afraid..."

"You crow mouth, don't say a few words."

"You're just a crow's mouth, I'm just worried."

"I'm worried, I believe in the guidance of Lin, and I also believe that the Pacers can comeback in the away game."

"Oops, I didn't ask Director Lin to sign it!"

"What's the hurry, wouldn't it be better to have him sign after winning the next game?"

"But in case..."

"There is no chance, we will definitely win!"

The three netizens who came from afar felt somewhat lost in their hearts, just like the other Chinese fans at the scene.

Many people came here for Lin Shaojie to win the championship, but the haze of failure came to their hearts all at once. After the Spurs disrupted the rhythm of the game, the Pacers showed obvious discomfort.

After the game ended, news of the results of the third round of the finals began to fly all over the sky on the sports news.

The "dominant side leakage" Spurs used a hearty victory to prove that they are old-hearted, and they still have a great chance to comeback.

And the Pacers also used a defeat to prove their youth and inexperience. There are such things as "shark-cutting tactics" that change direction, but is it a bit inhumane to do such a thing against a rookie?

The Spurs almost cut off the connection between the player and the No. 13 Pacers in the second half. The approach was very straightforward, and the result was very gratifying.

In the press conference after the game, Popovich did not discuss this issue too much, and replied firmly.

"Did you see our victory?"

"Do you think we are invincible?"

"Do you think we're in the wrong place?"

A series of answers made the reporters who wanted to find fault, faced with Popovich's anti-client, some mistakes were too late to guard against.

"You can't treat a player like Lynn as a rookie. We treat him like Kobe. No, he is far more threatening at this time than Kobe was back then."

......

Lin Shaojie received a call from Kobe that night. The failure is already the result, and the process is not important. He had planned to take away a winning Pacer with a guarantee. Losing a game first is not the final outcome. On the contrary, the future can be expected This kind of matter has not yet reached the final conclusion, and the Pacers still have a chance.

Anyway, on the phone, Kobe wanted to come up with ideas and comfort Lin Shaojie by the way, but he didn't hear the other party's discouragement.

Lin Shaojie, who hung up the phone, was wandering by the river. Although it was not evening yet, people had already found seats to sit down at sunset.

Lin Shaojie attended the press conference, but he only briefly answered a few questions and got off the ground.

The scenery in front of me more or less keeps the information of failure away from my heart.

The Spurs are just a corner of San Antonio. The whole city may be grateful for their victory, but the success and failure of the Spurs cannot affect the essence of their lives.

Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and those who come to watch the game are not 100% diehard fans.

There were those who watched the excitement, those who liked it, and those who hated it.

But the result of the game makes those who like it very happy, and those who hate it are devastated.

Isn't Lynn the Spurs killer?

This second generation item seems to be a little weak.

Lin Shaojie travels lightly, and the simple casual outfit with sunglasses is not dazzling. Last year, coach Xie Zhenghe and Lawrence McDonald brought him to the Spurs for an interview.

In a blink of an eye, he finally joined the Pacers;

Last year, at that corner, Li Dacheng and domestic reporters interviewed him... Now that Li Dacheng has returned to China, I heard that he has been promoted in the salary wave, and I will have a meal with him during the offseason , let the other party treat.

"Jingle, jingle..."

The phone rang suddenly. Lin Shaojie picked up the phone. His family members had already talked to him, and Kobe Bryant had also talked with him. Who else would call him at this time?

"Hi, Boss!"

In a word, Lin Shaojie knows that it is the business team behind him, and it is the core of it - John Thornton.

The business team temporarily formed by Lawrence during his stay in London last year, after more than half a year of running-in, some people left, and some newcomers rejoined through introductions.

The members who came in and out made the business team attached to Lin Shaojie more mature. Those who left did not regret it, but those who are still in the team must be lucky.

The team members relying on Lin Shaojie can't be said to be scattered all over the world, but they are mainly in Europe, and they have begun to slowly shift their focus to North America and Asia, especially Huaguo.

As the core of the team, John Thornton went to China in person to deal with Lin Shaojie's shares in ByteDance. He thought it was a big deal, and that kind of precarious enterprise could die at any time, which was far less sweet than Nike's "5000 million US dollars".

At the beginning, John even thought that Lin Shaojie had a way of "sacrificing the basics and chasing the last", which made those self-proclaimed business elites feel sorry for him. Such a handsome basketball star, but he is a simpleton. Instead of clinging to Nike's thighs, Small businesses in corners are of great concern.

So that was the first wave of "resignation". A team of no more than ten people lost three points in an instant. A [-]% loss could already be retreated on the battlefield.

John Thornton can't say that there is no city government. He has had many choices, but his intuition can't affect his final decision, so stay and have a look.

From the second half of last year to the beginning of this year, ByteDance's ability to attract money and double its valuation repeatedly have caused the value of the shares held by Lin Shaojie to skyrocket.

At that moment, John Thornton decided to tie himself to Lin Shaojie's chariot. For this reason, he even quit his job in the investment bank and no longer took charge of related businesses as a "part-time job".

From investing in BodyArmor beverages in New York to taxi-hailing software in Silicon Valley, John and Lin Shaojie have been in close contact since learning about the new gadget of taxi-hailing software.

Lin Shaojie, who was not very familiar with these businesses at first, obtained the relevant materials of related start-up companies around the world after only one week, and even asked John Thornton to throw out all the funds in his hand, almost leaving nothing.

The scope of investment is wide and the goal is far beyond John's scope. Even a company named Careem in the Middle East has been heavily invested by Lin Shaojie.

Without the "value-added" endorsement fee that Nike Papa gave before the All-Stars, Lin Shaojie's capital pool would have bottomed out.

John Thornton, who is engaged in investment banking and other financial fields, feels that he is a waste. It is the first time he has seen a person in the sports industry be so "reckless!"

Investment seems to be like a powerful and unconstrained style, which is unpredictable.

The previous efforts are worthwhile and have been verified one by one.

Coca-Cola's pursuit of BodyArmor, plus the daily chemical endorsement that is currently under negotiation, the latter has changed from a single company to several companies, which is very similar to the pursuit of Lin Shaojie by car companies after London.

Everyone can see the value of this athlete who made his fortune by basketball. BodyArmor is a small company that has never been heard of. Because of a photo of Lin Shaojie holding a drink in his hand, it became a big hit. Now it is even more popular. Coca-Cola sought after.

If this business is negotiated, what is the cash flow obstacle? Is there anything in the world that makes money faster than selling water?

Believe it or not, you can become the richest man by selling water. If so, the next thing to do is to sell air.

Lin Shaojie received a call from John Thornton because a new company joined the competition for daily chemical products. Shiseido from Neon had an initial asking price that was [-]% higher than Unilever and Procter & Gamble.

That initial value exceeded Nike's price back then, and with an additional [-]%, it's no wonder that the core members of the team were trembling with excitement.

"Let's procrastinate. All final contracts must be signed after the finals. That's when the effect will be greatest."

What Lin Shaojie didn't say was that Shiseido was just a babysitter, so how could he choose it!

"But... if you lose the game, will it be affected?"

John Thornton knew that he didn't need to hide from Lynn. The other party was far smarter than they thought. Everyone could see it in the video conference. This is not a foolish and sweet object.

"A failure is not the end, it may expose many problems, but I believe that those who recognize me will not lose their weight because of this, on the contrary they will invest heavily...

Besides, who said we would lose?At least for now we are still 2 to 1 ahead of our opponents. "

Not long after Lin Shaojie hung up the phone, William Austin, a "friend" from Coca-Cola, sent a concerned text message.

"A defeat is nothing, Lynn, I believe you will win the final victory, I look forward to your good news, and I will send you a big gift when the time comes."

Look at how exciting these words are, no matter what the final outcome is, does Lin Shaojie want to accept the other party's love.

It's not all about money!

In the evening, Xie Zhenghe's coach specifically called Lin Shaojie to tell Lin Shaojie that failure is the mother of success, and a championship without failure is not perfect.

Lin Shaojie accepted everything. Xie Zheng and the coach, who were busy with affairs during the day, must have wanted to call him after the game, but they knew he was busy, so they delayed until now.

The teammates were a little gloomy. After a day's rest, the two sides would have a fourth game, and it was still at the Devil's home court of the Spurs.

"Do you believe I'm going to win the next game and bring the title back to Indiana?"

"I believe!"

After sending the message, and waiting for Su Zhen to reply, Lin Shaojie smiled.

Downstairs in the hotel conference room, Frank and the members of the coaching staff hadn't rested yet, and Larry Bird led other staff to analyze the defeat.

The players' bodies need to recover, but they, at this time, even have such a luxury to rest.

There are no more than 15 players on the front line. Behind them, the coaching staff and even other staff are working around these players.

The main players can snatch more than [-]% to [-]% of the "auxiliary" resources, and the substitute players either find their own way, or use the team's resources. In short, snakes have snakes, and rats have rats.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the F1 racing team, a complete set of service teams behind the drivers, even those big companies are frightened to play, returning to the essence, professional sports in the final analysis is to burn money.

No money to play a Jaguar.

During training the next day, facing the Spurs' foul tactics, the Pacers have begun to gradually try to change.

As for the Spurs' traditional "two-three defense" strategy, Lin Shaojie has already proved with his victory in the first game that the Spurs' two-three defense is ineffective against him.

Although the winning tactic came from Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, but the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade, and those who succeed in learning must be right.

The new tactics have further strengthened the requirements on Lin Shaojie. It is far more difficult than imagined to take away a victory from San Antonio.

Now that they were able to win, it is impossible for the Spurs not to continue this strategy. The variant "shark-slashing" tactic, in the final analysis, restricted Lin Shaojie's shooting and receiving the ball, and used more manpower to prevent the Pacers' core from making shots.

If you really use that unchanging shark-slashing tactic, the only active member of the "190+ club" will let the Spurs know what it means to make free throws that hurt your heart.
