My basketball vision is different
Chapter 286
The game is over and the Pacers have won. Lin Shaojie's mood is not relaxed, but rather heavy.
Granger is not a bad guy. On the contrary, this former boss is very good. He performed very well in the Pacers, with a simple style of play and a classic style of play. He gave everything for the team's victory.
He is not only for himself on the court, but also for the team, but it is a pity that good luck tricks people.
Granger's body didn't allow him to do that.
Achilles tendon torn, plantar fasciitis, these injuries have been found by Granger, and the patellar tendinitis in his left knee was the culprit of his last long truce. "Son" went from averaging 20+ points per game to averaging 5+ points per game.
With such a large data gap, Granger did not give up on himself, he even wanted to transform into a 3D player.
Just an overconfident game, one wrong choice, that's all.
Injuries came back to him, and Granger wasn't the first, nor would he be the last.
Before participating in the press conference, Lin Shaojie had already received the news, and all the Pacers players had received the news.After all, he didn't think Granger did anything wrong, he just overestimated his body.
Sometimes people in an extreme environment always want to force themselves to do more dazzling things.But there are only a few successful ones, and more often the tight "string" is broken.
People in such a state are more prone to accidents, and now Granger has staged this scene with his own living example.
Lin Shaojie can almost be regarded as a "second generation man." Before college, he was just a nerd who loved to study. In his spare time, he relied on his talent to sweat on the court. He had no other advantages.
If it weren't for that magical night, Lin Shaojie's experience would have been even worse.
Some people have said that the weak will only attack the weak, and others have said that life is not easy, life is not easy, and life is not easy.
If most people were given a choice, a larger number would probably choose a new "version," most of whom would rather not go back to the old way.
Maybe this is reality!
Of course, Lin Shaojie's sadness didn't last too long, he didn't have the leisure to feel sad.As a hacker, his life is destined to be infinitely beautiful.
What he can achieve is almost the mentality of "people who wear shoes don't laugh at people who are barefoot", because compared to them, Lin Shaojie knows that he is just a little more lucky.
No matter how miserable Granger is, he is still a rich man compared to those who are underprivileged and poor, and he has changed his destiny.
But after the press conference after the game, Lin Shaojie was once again left by Larry Bird, and coach Frank Vogel was with him.
The Pacers' trio came together in key positions.
In the same office, Larry Bird and Frank were very relaxed, as if Granger's injury didn't cause too much trouble.
Lin Shaojie also seemed very calm.
"Do you know the final condition of Danny's injury?"
"I already know, go and see him later."
Larry Bird nodded: "Go and see him, calling you here this time is also about Danny, the doctor has given a clear answer, even with the most advanced medical methods, Danny's athletic ability Compared with last season, there will be at least a [-]% decline.
Intuitively speaking, it is speculated that after Danny recovers from injury, he may not be able to adapt to the current game, and he may not even be able to play as a substitute. "
"Then what can we do?"
Lin Shaojie looked up at Larry Bird and Frank.
The former spread his hands: "We can't do anything, we can only watch him recuperate first, and then see if there is a miracle."
"The hospital has told us that it is conservatively estimated that the recovery period after the operation will be more than three months."
Frank took the opportunity to say: "In this way, it is very likely that Danny will not be able to play after the All-Star Game. Most importantly, after he plays, there will be no time for him to adapt."
Last season, how did Lin Shaojie treat Granger who returned from injury? He fed the ball to Danny Granger for many consecutive games, and even other than him, other players who returned from injury treated him like this.
Lin Shaojie used his "good deeds" to create a pretty good image among the players, which is also the biggest reason why Scola was able to give up invitations from other teams and switch to the Pacers.
This is by no means an exorbitant price paid by the Pacers. Among all the teams that want to get Scola, the Pacers are only a middle price, and the extras that are added are nothing more than that.
And Lin Shao is definitely an excellent leader in the eyes of many players who know him well.
Lin Shaojie chatted in Larry Bird's office for a long time before leaving. Indianapolis, which had already entered winter, was fine during the day, but the temperature at night was close to freezing point, and when the cold wind blew past, it revealed a bit of biting chill.
From the arena to the hospital, Lin Shaojie felt as if he had walked all over again.
That's how last year's self met Granger at the hospital.
Lin Shaojie, who was sitting in the car, thought of the useful information that Larry Bird had revealed to himself while seemingly chatting.
"Danny (Granger) on the court is a very good player. He is an important player in the revival of the Pacers, and he can even be said to be an iconic player. But since last year, the Pacers have gone from Granger to ' Lynn' era, and our venerable Danny was on the sidelines because of his family, making himself financially miserable.
I think sometimes, it's probably more than he has to play or he's worried about how long his career lasts..."
Lin Shaojie helped his teammates match up and took on some short-term domestic endorsements, but Danny Granger, who had a long-term truce last year, perfectly missed all of this, and after recovering from his injury, he showed great generosity. Lin Shaojie didn't think about these small things .
After all, Danny Granger holds the second highest salary in the team, second only to Roy Hibbert. A big man with an annual income of tens of millions certainly does not need the help of Lin Shaojie, a "millionaire". proud.
But looking back, Lin Shaojie confirmed that this was true.
Granger, who has a simple style of play, has never been the darling of the media. In addition, the Pacers are in a small ball market, so he has not attracted the attention of fans. In addition to the "black and red" factor, in terms of commercial value, he is not even as personal as Lance Stephenson. The latter has a perverse personality, but is loved by a small group of fans.
And the contract with an annual salary of tens of millions will also be limited, and it is impossible for you to get 100% of it if certain conditions cannot be fulfilled.
The mediocre Granger has been a rare outstanding player of the black race since he was a student, at least he is like this on the basketball court.
Who doesn't want to earn more.
When Lin Shaojie arrived at the hospital and pushed open the door of Granger's ward, seeing Granger's helpless appearance lying on the hospital bed after surgery, Lin Shaojie spread his hands.
"Hi, brother, you didn't blame me for being late, did you?"
......
The scene that seemed familiar, the last time Granger was injured and lying in the hospital seemed to happen yesterday, and it was already dark when Lin Shaojie left the hospital.
The city center is lined with thousands of lights, which is somewhat similar to Los Angeles, but obviously different.
There are mansions in the city center, as well as ordinary dilapidated households.
The most important thing is to look at the neighborhood.
Rich areas tend to have clean roads and excellent law and order; poor areas are often synonymous with mess and chaos. People can feel the discomfort before they walk in. When they see the sneakers on the telephone poles, they should stay away as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the contrast in Polis City is not strong, after all, it is just a "small" place with tens of thousands of people.
Granger and Lin Shaojie talked a lot, maybe because Lin Shaojie is a good listener. Granger didn't talk too much about basketball, but talked a lot about off-court things that didn't involve basketball.
As a former "son of Indian City," Granger has long been financially free, but due to his habit of spending ahead of schedule, as well as some unreasonable investments, coupled with family reasons, Granger doesn't have much money in his hands.
Let's put it this way, if he doesn't play, Granger is likely to go bankrupt and even move out of his current residence.
Granger spoke very cryptically about this matter, but Lin Shaojie heard very clearly that the reality was far more serious than what Larry Bird said.
In this way, Granger, who seems to be a master, is at best a middle class.
The middle class in the beautiful country is envied by everyone, but it is also this class that is often hurt. The rich are hardly affected by it, and they know how to avoid risks far better than others.
As for the poor?
People who are not eligible to receive subsistence allowances, relief, or even relief, of course, went to the gang (state). If you want to escape from that class, you must work harder than others.
Lin Shaojie heard those things from his teammates before, but it was far less shocking than what Granger said. After all, there are hard-working people everywhere. The income of seemingly inconspicuous blue-collar jobs is not low at all, and the cash is far more than that of white-collar workers in offices Be more practical.
These people are always so caring about their families. They work hard to provide better conditions for their children and get out of their original living environment earlier. They are no different from the group of people in China who pursue their dreams.
Granger has worked hard, and he has done it. He is afraid that one day he will return to before signing a big contract, and he wants to let himself stand on that field again.
But both of them know that it will definitely not work in a short time, in the future?
Who can tell!
Granger even talked about the circle he lived in, about the old blacks, and about the group of people who hadn't escaped poverty but were particularly disgusted with "foreigners".
Black and white!
Those immigrants from other countries come from formal channels, some from gray channels, some from Asia, and some from South America.
They often work harder than the aborigines when they arrive, and the bosses like these new members with low wages but more serious work.
So those who were eliminated naturally hated these immigrants.
They used to have a stable job and spare time, but now everything is gone. They have to compete and put in more effort, but their income has not increased.
For this group of people, they are nostalgic for the old days, and they hate immigrants and those who take their jobs.
But it’s not that Lin Shaojie has never studied history. How did the beautiful country successfully occupy this land? The real aborigines after the founding of the country The real aborigines in the North American continent were almost killed. "Weeping, while frantically plundering land and wealth...
For the people here, all people are immigrants, but some people come early and some people come late.
Lin Shaojie knows that what this society needs are a lot of "screws." Smart people who can see through the essence live very hard, because they will not be content with the status quo, and always want to get rid of the shackles of fate.
Is it Lin Shaojie?
It seems that he has already escaped, and he has become a master, but Lin Shaojie knows that there is still a long way to go.
The children of the poor belong to the bottom, and the poor and black children are at the bottom. It is difficult for most black children to achieve class leap through education and hard work.
Only a very few lucky ones can achieve class improvement through becoming singers, actors, sports stars and other channels. This is not easy, and it is easy to be jealous of the surrounding black children.
Lin Shaojie probably understood what Granger meant.
He became one of the 450 people in the league and became the biggest beneficiary of Granger's injury.
From the court to the locker room, he took away everything that Granger once belonged to.
Lin Shaojie, who stood up for a spot, must have crowded out the spot that belonged to Lao Hei.People don't necessarily see the attention and new benefits brought by Lin Shaojie.
Because in the eyes of that group of people, what they see is that a person of yellow race does not want to study medicine or law, which seem to have a bright future, but instead comes to seize the sports that should belong to them.
Discrimination...everywhere.
Granger's words were very sincere, because he had already handed over the "scepter" of the Pacers locker room to Lin Shaojie.
A "deposed emperor" has no right to speak in front of the current incumbent. Lin Shaojie feels the urgency of the other party to "make a good relationship", because he is the only one in the ward, and there are no other Pacers players.
So some words really came out inadvertently.
But this matter is beyond Lin Shaojie's decision. Some things are irreversible, and it is difficult to transfer them by human willpower.
Just like the community that Lin Shaojie just passed by, I heard people say that it was originally a standard white community. The housing prices in the community were not particularly high, and the residents were not particularly rich. There used to be a special exclusion of blacks and immigrants, so outsiders slightly Anyone who knew something about it would not choose that place as their place of residence.
But now?
When a black person or a group of black people lived in the community, the whole community began to be blackened. The falling housing prices and the deteriorating security environment made the whole community gradually marginalized.
It's hard to see any white people now, and the occupants are often people of color.
People with yellow skin will not choose. Although they are discriminated against, the conditions of yellow people who work a little harder are much better than those black people.
The vehicle stopped slowly and arrived home.
Lin Shaojie, who got out of the car, found that there were actually snowflakes in the sky.
Everyone who was about to fall asleep, became lively again because of the first snow this year, and many people opened the windows to look at the world outside the window.
The faintly audible laughter of children came from not far away, and the gloomy sky seemed more and more peaceful.
On this not-so-cold winter night, it was like making the last sacrifice for the farewell of autumn.
Looking up, Su Zhen under the porch obviously heard the movement, the warm light shone on the woman in the light-colored coat, the slim jeans were very well worn on her body, she was in a hurry when she walked down the steps, obviously It was the return of the sweetheart that made Su Zhen feel happy.
Under the snowflakes and the warm light, Su Zhen's figure became the most beautiful picture in Lin Shaojie's heart.
Don't bring back things on the court.
The road of life is getting faster and faster, and time is getting less and less. In the first half of my life, my parents are by my side, and in the second half of my life, the woman in front of me is by my side.
Her appearance seemed to ignite a spark in Lin Shaojie's heart, warm and hot.
Lin Shaojie's mentality became more and more relaxed, and when Su Zhen quickly walked in front of Lin Shaojie, the lovely woman was held in Lin Shaojie's arms.
At this time when everything is quiet, needless to say, embracing the person in front of you is like embracing the whole world.
"What happened today?"
"miss you!"
Lin Shaojie's words warmed Su Zhen's head, and they felt the warmth of their backs and palms.
"go in......"
"kindness!"
Lin Shaojie lowered his head, and kissed Su Zhen gently under Su Zhen's expectant eyes. The snowflakes all over the sky were flying in the air like elves, and Su Zhen's eyes were moist and shining under the lights.
Su Zhen looked at the man in front of him, looked at his pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, all the strength in his body seemed to be taken away, and subconsciously fell back into Lin Shaojie's arms, with a smile on his eyebrows, his eyelashes trembling slightly , There is a kind of foggy feeling.
The rosy little face didn't know whether it was the cold weather or the surging heart, in short Su Zhen felt a little hot all over.
Lin Shaojie gently hugged the child's mother, the kiss was short and the affection was long, the sucking after a little taste seemed to suck away Su Zhen's soul.
The little love between the husband and wife made the two slightly intoxicated. In this not too cold winter day, the souls blended together...
Lin Shaojie who was lying on the bed slowly fell asleep, and had to get up early for training tomorrow.
Instead, Su Zhen looked at the sleeping man through the white snow outside the window.
I remember when I met Lin Shaojie for the first time on campus, he came into view as a handsome young man in the library.
After getting acquainted, he looks handsome, but when he is on the court, he is overwhelmed with a calmness and heaviness that does not match his age, and a sense of trust arises spontaneously.
When he arrived in London and then the NBA, he already had the ultimate appearance.
Who else has such a shape?
The chat with Luo Jiali ended on the phone. The best friend who is not going to take the postgraduate entrance examination no longer has much schoolwork burden. The few remaining courses are not enough to threaten her, and she has already started to find a unit for an internship.
There are many changes inside and outside the campus in Jiangnan. Although the provincial capital is not like the imperial capital or the magic capital, it is also a big city that sits on the second line and gathers outstanding talents from the two provinces. There are still many good companies.
One of the hottest topics in the provincial capital is that there are many more bicycles on the streets. The fresh light green and the warm yellow, the two seem to be fighting against each other, but they are actually competing for the shared bicycles in the provincial capital market.
Luo Jiali knew that the two bicycle parks that seemed to be fighting each other to the death were actually one family, and her best friend's husband was the investor behind the scenes.
From the launch, I don’t know how many people have been facilitated.
Of course, there must be darkness behind the light. Luo Jiali said a lot of things that she was uncomfortable with, but that was the wealth of her best friend and husband. Looking at those damaged bicycles, she felt somewhat heartbroken.
The snow outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, and this snow seems to be bigger than usual.
The next morning, when Su Zhen, who was still sleeping, woke up, seeing Lin Shaojie put on new clothes, making breakfast and waiting for him to wake up, the satisfaction was self-evident.
When the doorbell rang, Su Zhen quickly heard Lin Shaojie's excitement, opened the door and saw that he was an old acquaintance.
"McDonald!"
"Dacheng!"
The appearance of Li Dacheng and Lawrence MacDonald was obviously beyond Lin Shaojie's expectation.
Li Dacheng is a reporter after all, so he can still understand.MacDonald teaches at a university in the Land of Abundance, and he is also a scout for the Suns, so he has come a long way.
The people who reunited after a long time chatted enthusiastically.
Su Zhen brought hot tea, and Li Dacheng looked at all this enviously.
"Our Xiaolinzi is now a standard wife and child on the bed. By the way, when will the child come over? You two are the only ones in such a big house. You don't want a nanny or security?"
"The child is still young, come over in a while!
During the day when there are no games, I stay with Susu, and we feel uncomfortable if there is one more person. Usually, she has to go to class, and neither of us is at home. Except for the weekly cleaning, we need to hire someone, and we can handle the daily hygiene by ourselves. .
Forget about the security issue, my house has the most advanced security system, and anyone who breaks in without permission will directly call the police, and I have also practiced shooting with Su Zhen, that...you understand. "
Li Dacheng said that he did not expect Su Zhen, who looked weak, to be a woman who dared to draw a gun.
Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen laughed happily when they heard it. They were very happy to have friends coming from afar.
In this beautiful country, it is imperative to guard against others. Compared with the domestic disputes, this side seems a bit rough and straightforward.
I won't mess with you, but you don't want to mess with me, Lin Shaojie still appreciates the castle's rules, I am the master of my territory.
If you break in illegally, I'll give you "chug".
But most of you should have seen Lin Shaojie's related videos, there is no one who is not open-eyed and wants to mess with him!
As a big celebrity in Xinlang Sports, it is normal for Li Dacheng to continue to follow and report on Lin Shaojie.
It is a little strange that MacDonald does not teach and educate people in China. After a chat, he understands that the old man who has settled in China has retired, and he will return to Canada from time to time to have a look.
Now he was "rehired" by Xinlang's side, and formed a team with Li Dacheng.
A lot of money is given, after all, they are also professionals.
MacDonald did not expect that when he met Lin Shaojie again, the young Lin Shaojie had already considered the issue of marriage. If the two of them hadn't wanted to hold a wedding in China, there would be a slight difference in age. I'm afraid it has already been put into action.
The basketball boy who "stunned" him during the major leagues is now about to start a family and start a business, and he thought everything happened yesterday in a trance.
But he is retired, let alone Lin Shaojie.
Time is gone forever.
MacDonald thought of Lin Shaojie's children and Lin Shaojie's marriage. In the western world, marriage is not a simple emotional issue between men and women.
Macdonald and Li Dacheng looked at each other, and they both understood what it meant.
For a player like Lin Shaojie who is not just a basketball player but represents great commercial value, if there is a marriage and divorce, it is equivalent to the combination and split of two listed companies, which is by no means a trivial matter.
Rich people generally have to do property justice before marriage, and the big divorce incident of the media tycoon that happened not long ago is vivid in my mind.
Jordan and the like, as well as Iverson, especially the latter, even if his life is not worrying, but in a high probability, his current assets are not as much as his ex-wife!
One of the reasons why many people don’t want to get married is that they don’t want the responsibility and pressure after marriage. In addition to involving property, it may be more of this invisible pressure. After marriage, the woman takes care of the children and the man works. If unemployment comes On their own heads, for some people with fragile mentality, they may not even have the courage to survive, and they may become homeless.
So a married person, a father with children, a father with a happy family, tends to give people a sense of reliability.
On the contrary, an older bachelor will give people a slightly inferior feeling.
This is the difference between responsibility and irresponsibility.
Thinking of this, Li Dacheng seemed to have heard the news that the house of the media tycoon's ex-wife in the imperial capital was taken over by Lin Shaojie.
It's been a long time since we saw each other. The little guy who was fighting for his dream on campus has become a giant supporting the sky.
Lin Shaojie welcomed his friends. He held a big banquet at home that day, and even called friends on the phone. Neighbors came one after another.
Li Dacheng, a reporter who often appears in Lin's house, is not unfamiliar. After all, he lived here for a while last year; MacDonald has a kind face, easy to deal with, and has a high emotional intelligence.
After clearing the snow last night, the spacious courtyard has become a playground for nearby children, while the parents are feasting on it, since anything can be baked anyway.
Some ladies who are good at cooking also brought the biscuits and desserts prepared in advance at home, which were placed in the open air.
The temperature of ten degrees during the day is still acceptable, and some ladies who are too cold are chatting in the sun room, which is no different from that in China.
Before the next game, Lin Shaojie had a day and a half to rest, and no one would disturb him, as long as he turned off the phone.
Compared with domestic social animals, this is undoubtedly much better.I was annoyed that the leader came over on a non-working day while holding the phone, and worried that I missed some important information if I didn't take the phone.
Pain and happiness!
After drinking and eating, Li Dacheng arrogantly stated that since he was overweight, but he learned how to shoot with the neighbor's old man, he wanted to prove himself on the basketball court.
Good guy, MacDonald is the referee, and the neighbors are all playing with Li Dacheng. It's lively. As for Lin Shaojie?
Sorry, BUG players like him are never allowed to participate, he will destroy the balance of the game.
MacDonald and Lin Shaojie, holding whistles, sat on the edge of the court, the leeward corner faced south, and the warm sun shone on them very comfortably.
"You are going to defend your title this season, does Granger's injury affect you a lot?"
Lin Shaojie nodded, then shook his head again.
"We're definitely going to defend the title, and Larry Bird has worked so hard for it.
We expected Danny (Granger) to be injured, but what we didn't expect was that it would be so serious and it would come so quickly.
Originally, we didn’t think too much about the small forward position. Paul George performed very well, and Danny was a substitute, but now we only have Rasu Butler in this position, me and Lance Stephen. Sen can temporarily replace.
I don't think there is any problem in the regular season. In the playoffs, we will definitely need reinforcements here. "
The Pacers were originally strong, but now they have become weak.But it's just missing a substitute, and McDonald understands the truth when he thinks about it.
"See if there are any suitable players in the market. Anyway, before the trade deadline, you must strengthen this point."
Lin Shaojie nodded. His relationship with MacDonald was far less close than that of Xie Zhenghe, but the relationship was also far from that of ordinary people.
At the beginning, McDonald helped him a lot when he joined the NBA, especially when he went to the Suns and other teams for trial training.
The most important thing is that the business team behind Lin Shaojie was gradually formed and perfected under the guidance of McDonald.
The old man seems to be quiet, but he is also a well-known coach of the Maple Leafs men's basketball team. He has trained several national players, and being a scout for the NBA is considered overkill.
Surprisingly, he actually likes Huaguo culture, and even settled in Huaguo.
As for the problem McDonald mentioned, it is also a problem in Lin Shaojie's mind. At present, the Pacers' trading target has not been determined, and whoever gets in and who gets out is troublesome.
If Granger, who is a meritorious minister, is traded at this time, he is afraid that he will be scolded miserably by the fans.
But the team's second-highest salary couldn't play, Granger's commercial value was already there, and it would be a disadvantage if he had one less player to fight.
Lin Shaojie was also a little helpless about this.
In fact, with the current lineup of the Pacers, there are no obvious loopholes. Lin Shaojie purely wants to do better at this time. Injuries are always the invisible killer of the winning team. No one can stop them. Often accidents are better than tomorrow earlier.
And Lin Shaojie was more worried about another point, whether the "smart" Larry Bird would go all out and trade Granger away.
The smiling "Big Bird" can manage a team not because of his soft-heartedness. Last night, it seemed that "chatting" obviously meant something else, but Lin Shaojie didn't know when this matter would be finalized.
Fortunately, he is also the core member of the team, and he will be the first one to know before something happens.
On the 6th, the battle between the Pacers and the Pistons in Detroit started at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Pistons decided to end the rebuild during the offseason and started the "WinNow" mode. Calderon and Mark Hill were missing from the familiar faces last season, and Middleton also went to the Bucks.
Chauncey Billups returned to the Pistons from the Clippers, and the joining of "Eagle King" Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings is indeed a bit see through
But in Lin Shaojie's view, their competitiveness in the Eastern District is not strong. After the change of coach, Maurice Cheeks from the 75ers took charge of the Pistons.
The seemingly good lineup, coupled with the tradition of the Pistons, they lack an undisputed core, there are too many players who can be the core, and there are too many players who share the ball.
The Pistons lacked an iconic player. Anyway, it is the kind of "quasi-star" player who looks full of talent but needs to "realize" to prove himself, whether he can succeed and break into the playoffs, the coach level is crucial.
Lin Shaojie hopes that the Pistons can give himself some surprises.
This is the Pacers' second back-to-back game this season. The first game is against such a Pistons. After the game, the Pacers will return to the home court and wait for their opponent the next day - the Bulls from Chicago.
Lin Shaojie had already booked the dinner in advance, and when Rose arrived, the latter readily agreed, expressing his desire to break Lynn's spell.
Not only did he want to win, but he also wanted to make Lin En willingly pay for a treat.
Granger is not a bad guy. On the contrary, this former boss is very good. He performed very well in the Pacers, with a simple style of play and a classic style of play. He gave everything for the team's victory.
He is not only for himself on the court, but also for the team, but it is a pity that good luck tricks people.
Granger's body didn't allow him to do that.
Achilles tendon torn, plantar fasciitis, these injuries have been found by Granger, and the patellar tendinitis in his left knee was the culprit of his last long truce. "Son" went from averaging 20+ points per game to averaging 5+ points per game.
With such a large data gap, Granger did not give up on himself, he even wanted to transform into a 3D player.
Just an overconfident game, one wrong choice, that's all.
Injuries came back to him, and Granger wasn't the first, nor would he be the last.
Before participating in the press conference, Lin Shaojie had already received the news, and all the Pacers players had received the news.After all, he didn't think Granger did anything wrong, he just overestimated his body.
Sometimes people in an extreme environment always want to force themselves to do more dazzling things.But there are only a few successful ones, and more often the tight "string" is broken.
People in such a state are more prone to accidents, and now Granger has staged this scene with his own living example.
Lin Shaojie can almost be regarded as a "second generation man." Before college, he was just a nerd who loved to study. In his spare time, he relied on his talent to sweat on the court. He had no other advantages.
If it weren't for that magical night, Lin Shaojie's experience would have been even worse.
Some people have said that the weak will only attack the weak, and others have said that life is not easy, life is not easy, and life is not easy.
If most people were given a choice, a larger number would probably choose a new "version," most of whom would rather not go back to the old way.
Maybe this is reality!
Of course, Lin Shaojie's sadness didn't last too long, he didn't have the leisure to feel sad.As a hacker, his life is destined to be infinitely beautiful.
What he can achieve is almost the mentality of "people who wear shoes don't laugh at people who are barefoot", because compared to them, Lin Shaojie knows that he is just a little more lucky.
No matter how miserable Granger is, he is still a rich man compared to those who are underprivileged and poor, and he has changed his destiny.
But after the press conference after the game, Lin Shaojie was once again left by Larry Bird, and coach Frank Vogel was with him.
The Pacers' trio came together in key positions.
In the same office, Larry Bird and Frank were very relaxed, as if Granger's injury didn't cause too much trouble.
Lin Shaojie also seemed very calm.
"Do you know the final condition of Danny's injury?"
"I already know, go and see him later."
Larry Bird nodded: "Go and see him, calling you here this time is also about Danny, the doctor has given a clear answer, even with the most advanced medical methods, Danny's athletic ability Compared with last season, there will be at least a [-]% decline.
Intuitively speaking, it is speculated that after Danny recovers from injury, he may not be able to adapt to the current game, and he may not even be able to play as a substitute. "
"Then what can we do?"
Lin Shaojie looked up at Larry Bird and Frank.
The former spread his hands: "We can't do anything, we can only watch him recuperate first, and then see if there is a miracle."
"The hospital has told us that it is conservatively estimated that the recovery period after the operation will be more than three months."
Frank took the opportunity to say: "In this way, it is very likely that Danny will not be able to play after the All-Star Game. Most importantly, after he plays, there will be no time for him to adapt."
Last season, how did Lin Shaojie treat Granger who returned from injury? He fed the ball to Danny Granger for many consecutive games, and even other than him, other players who returned from injury treated him like this.
Lin Shaojie used his "good deeds" to create a pretty good image among the players, which is also the biggest reason why Scola was able to give up invitations from other teams and switch to the Pacers.
This is by no means an exorbitant price paid by the Pacers. Among all the teams that want to get Scola, the Pacers are only a middle price, and the extras that are added are nothing more than that.
And Lin Shao is definitely an excellent leader in the eyes of many players who know him well.
Lin Shaojie chatted in Larry Bird's office for a long time before leaving. Indianapolis, which had already entered winter, was fine during the day, but the temperature at night was close to freezing point, and when the cold wind blew past, it revealed a bit of biting chill.
From the arena to the hospital, Lin Shaojie felt as if he had walked all over again.
That's how last year's self met Granger at the hospital.
Lin Shaojie, who was sitting in the car, thought of the useful information that Larry Bird had revealed to himself while seemingly chatting.
"Danny (Granger) on the court is a very good player. He is an important player in the revival of the Pacers, and he can even be said to be an iconic player. But since last year, the Pacers have gone from Granger to ' Lynn' era, and our venerable Danny was on the sidelines because of his family, making himself financially miserable.
I think sometimes, it's probably more than he has to play or he's worried about how long his career lasts..."
Lin Shaojie helped his teammates match up and took on some short-term domestic endorsements, but Danny Granger, who had a long-term truce last year, perfectly missed all of this, and after recovering from his injury, he showed great generosity. Lin Shaojie didn't think about these small things .
After all, Danny Granger holds the second highest salary in the team, second only to Roy Hibbert. A big man with an annual income of tens of millions certainly does not need the help of Lin Shaojie, a "millionaire". proud.
But looking back, Lin Shaojie confirmed that this was true.
Granger, who has a simple style of play, has never been the darling of the media. In addition, the Pacers are in a small ball market, so he has not attracted the attention of fans. In addition to the "black and red" factor, in terms of commercial value, he is not even as personal as Lance Stephenson. The latter has a perverse personality, but is loved by a small group of fans.
And the contract with an annual salary of tens of millions will also be limited, and it is impossible for you to get 100% of it if certain conditions cannot be fulfilled.
The mediocre Granger has been a rare outstanding player of the black race since he was a student, at least he is like this on the basketball court.
Who doesn't want to earn more.
When Lin Shaojie arrived at the hospital and pushed open the door of Granger's ward, seeing Granger's helpless appearance lying on the hospital bed after surgery, Lin Shaojie spread his hands.
"Hi, brother, you didn't blame me for being late, did you?"
......
The scene that seemed familiar, the last time Granger was injured and lying in the hospital seemed to happen yesterday, and it was already dark when Lin Shaojie left the hospital.
The city center is lined with thousands of lights, which is somewhat similar to Los Angeles, but obviously different.
There are mansions in the city center, as well as ordinary dilapidated households.
The most important thing is to look at the neighborhood.
Rich areas tend to have clean roads and excellent law and order; poor areas are often synonymous with mess and chaos. People can feel the discomfort before they walk in. When they see the sneakers on the telephone poles, they should stay away as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the contrast in Polis City is not strong, after all, it is just a "small" place with tens of thousands of people.
Granger and Lin Shaojie talked a lot, maybe because Lin Shaojie is a good listener. Granger didn't talk too much about basketball, but talked a lot about off-court things that didn't involve basketball.
As a former "son of Indian City," Granger has long been financially free, but due to his habit of spending ahead of schedule, as well as some unreasonable investments, coupled with family reasons, Granger doesn't have much money in his hands.
Let's put it this way, if he doesn't play, Granger is likely to go bankrupt and even move out of his current residence.
Granger spoke very cryptically about this matter, but Lin Shaojie heard very clearly that the reality was far more serious than what Larry Bird said.
In this way, Granger, who seems to be a master, is at best a middle class.
The middle class in the beautiful country is envied by everyone, but it is also this class that is often hurt. The rich are hardly affected by it, and they know how to avoid risks far better than others.
As for the poor?
People who are not eligible to receive subsistence allowances, relief, or even relief, of course, went to the gang (state). If you want to escape from that class, you must work harder than others.
Lin Shaojie heard those things from his teammates before, but it was far less shocking than what Granger said. After all, there are hard-working people everywhere. The income of seemingly inconspicuous blue-collar jobs is not low at all, and the cash is far more than that of white-collar workers in offices Be more practical.
These people are always so caring about their families. They work hard to provide better conditions for their children and get out of their original living environment earlier. They are no different from the group of people in China who pursue their dreams.
Granger has worked hard, and he has done it. He is afraid that one day he will return to before signing a big contract, and he wants to let himself stand on that field again.
But both of them know that it will definitely not work in a short time, in the future?
Who can tell!
Granger even talked about the circle he lived in, about the old blacks, and about the group of people who hadn't escaped poverty but were particularly disgusted with "foreigners".
Black and white!
Those immigrants from other countries come from formal channels, some from gray channels, some from Asia, and some from South America.
They often work harder than the aborigines when they arrive, and the bosses like these new members with low wages but more serious work.
So those who were eliminated naturally hated these immigrants.
They used to have a stable job and spare time, but now everything is gone. They have to compete and put in more effort, but their income has not increased.
For this group of people, they are nostalgic for the old days, and they hate immigrants and those who take their jobs.
But it’s not that Lin Shaojie has never studied history. How did the beautiful country successfully occupy this land? The real aborigines after the founding of the country The real aborigines in the North American continent were almost killed. "Weeping, while frantically plundering land and wealth...
For the people here, all people are immigrants, but some people come early and some people come late.
Lin Shaojie knows that what this society needs are a lot of "screws." Smart people who can see through the essence live very hard, because they will not be content with the status quo, and always want to get rid of the shackles of fate.
Is it Lin Shaojie?
It seems that he has already escaped, and he has become a master, but Lin Shaojie knows that there is still a long way to go.
The children of the poor belong to the bottom, and the poor and black children are at the bottom. It is difficult for most black children to achieve class leap through education and hard work.
Only a very few lucky ones can achieve class improvement through becoming singers, actors, sports stars and other channels. This is not easy, and it is easy to be jealous of the surrounding black children.
Lin Shaojie probably understood what Granger meant.
He became one of the 450 people in the league and became the biggest beneficiary of Granger's injury.
From the court to the locker room, he took away everything that Granger once belonged to.
Lin Shaojie, who stood up for a spot, must have crowded out the spot that belonged to Lao Hei.People don't necessarily see the attention and new benefits brought by Lin Shaojie.
Because in the eyes of that group of people, what they see is that a person of yellow race does not want to study medicine or law, which seem to have a bright future, but instead comes to seize the sports that should belong to them.
Discrimination...everywhere.
Granger's words were very sincere, because he had already handed over the "scepter" of the Pacers locker room to Lin Shaojie.
A "deposed emperor" has no right to speak in front of the current incumbent. Lin Shaojie feels the urgency of the other party to "make a good relationship", because he is the only one in the ward, and there are no other Pacers players.
So some words really came out inadvertently.
But this matter is beyond Lin Shaojie's decision. Some things are irreversible, and it is difficult to transfer them by human willpower.
Just like the community that Lin Shaojie just passed by, I heard people say that it was originally a standard white community. The housing prices in the community were not particularly high, and the residents were not particularly rich. There used to be a special exclusion of blacks and immigrants, so outsiders slightly Anyone who knew something about it would not choose that place as their place of residence.
But now?
When a black person or a group of black people lived in the community, the whole community began to be blackened. The falling housing prices and the deteriorating security environment made the whole community gradually marginalized.
It's hard to see any white people now, and the occupants are often people of color.
People with yellow skin will not choose. Although they are discriminated against, the conditions of yellow people who work a little harder are much better than those black people.
The vehicle stopped slowly and arrived home.
Lin Shaojie, who got out of the car, found that there were actually snowflakes in the sky.
Everyone who was about to fall asleep, became lively again because of the first snow this year, and many people opened the windows to look at the world outside the window.
The faintly audible laughter of children came from not far away, and the gloomy sky seemed more and more peaceful.
On this not-so-cold winter night, it was like making the last sacrifice for the farewell of autumn.
Looking up, Su Zhen under the porch obviously heard the movement, the warm light shone on the woman in the light-colored coat, the slim jeans were very well worn on her body, she was in a hurry when she walked down the steps, obviously It was the return of the sweetheart that made Su Zhen feel happy.
Under the snowflakes and the warm light, Su Zhen's figure became the most beautiful picture in Lin Shaojie's heart.
Don't bring back things on the court.
The road of life is getting faster and faster, and time is getting less and less. In the first half of my life, my parents are by my side, and in the second half of my life, the woman in front of me is by my side.
Her appearance seemed to ignite a spark in Lin Shaojie's heart, warm and hot.
Lin Shaojie's mentality became more and more relaxed, and when Su Zhen quickly walked in front of Lin Shaojie, the lovely woman was held in Lin Shaojie's arms.
At this time when everything is quiet, needless to say, embracing the person in front of you is like embracing the whole world.
"What happened today?"
"miss you!"
Lin Shaojie's words warmed Su Zhen's head, and they felt the warmth of their backs and palms.
"go in......"
"kindness!"
Lin Shaojie lowered his head, and kissed Su Zhen gently under Su Zhen's expectant eyes. The snowflakes all over the sky were flying in the air like elves, and Su Zhen's eyes were moist and shining under the lights.
Su Zhen looked at the man in front of him, looked at his pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, all the strength in his body seemed to be taken away, and subconsciously fell back into Lin Shaojie's arms, with a smile on his eyebrows, his eyelashes trembling slightly , There is a kind of foggy feeling.
The rosy little face didn't know whether it was the cold weather or the surging heart, in short Su Zhen felt a little hot all over.
Lin Shaojie gently hugged the child's mother, the kiss was short and the affection was long, the sucking after a little taste seemed to suck away Su Zhen's soul.
The little love between the husband and wife made the two slightly intoxicated. In this not too cold winter day, the souls blended together...
Lin Shaojie who was lying on the bed slowly fell asleep, and had to get up early for training tomorrow.
Instead, Su Zhen looked at the sleeping man through the white snow outside the window.
I remember when I met Lin Shaojie for the first time on campus, he came into view as a handsome young man in the library.
After getting acquainted, he looks handsome, but when he is on the court, he is overwhelmed with a calmness and heaviness that does not match his age, and a sense of trust arises spontaneously.
When he arrived in London and then the NBA, he already had the ultimate appearance.
Who else has such a shape?
The chat with Luo Jiali ended on the phone. The best friend who is not going to take the postgraduate entrance examination no longer has much schoolwork burden. The few remaining courses are not enough to threaten her, and she has already started to find a unit for an internship.
There are many changes inside and outside the campus in Jiangnan. Although the provincial capital is not like the imperial capital or the magic capital, it is also a big city that sits on the second line and gathers outstanding talents from the two provinces. There are still many good companies.
One of the hottest topics in the provincial capital is that there are many more bicycles on the streets. The fresh light green and the warm yellow, the two seem to be fighting against each other, but they are actually competing for the shared bicycles in the provincial capital market.
Luo Jiali knew that the two bicycle parks that seemed to be fighting each other to the death were actually one family, and her best friend's husband was the investor behind the scenes.
From the launch, I don’t know how many people have been facilitated.
Of course, there must be darkness behind the light. Luo Jiali said a lot of things that she was uncomfortable with, but that was the wealth of her best friend and husband. Looking at those damaged bicycles, she felt somewhat heartbroken.
The snow outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, and this snow seems to be bigger than usual.
The next morning, when Su Zhen, who was still sleeping, woke up, seeing Lin Shaojie put on new clothes, making breakfast and waiting for him to wake up, the satisfaction was self-evident.
When the doorbell rang, Su Zhen quickly heard Lin Shaojie's excitement, opened the door and saw that he was an old acquaintance.
"McDonald!"
"Dacheng!"
The appearance of Li Dacheng and Lawrence MacDonald was obviously beyond Lin Shaojie's expectation.
Li Dacheng is a reporter after all, so he can still understand.MacDonald teaches at a university in the Land of Abundance, and he is also a scout for the Suns, so he has come a long way.
The people who reunited after a long time chatted enthusiastically.
Su Zhen brought hot tea, and Li Dacheng looked at all this enviously.
"Our Xiaolinzi is now a standard wife and child on the bed. By the way, when will the child come over? You two are the only ones in such a big house. You don't want a nanny or security?"
"The child is still young, come over in a while!
During the day when there are no games, I stay with Susu, and we feel uncomfortable if there is one more person. Usually, she has to go to class, and neither of us is at home. Except for the weekly cleaning, we need to hire someone, and we can handle the daily hygiene by ourselves. .
Forget about the security issue, my house has the most advanced security system, and anyone who breaks in without permission will directly call the police, and I have also practiced shooting with Su Zhen, that...you understand. "
Li Dacheng said that he did not expect Su Zhen, who looked weak, to be a woman who dared to draw a gun.
Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen laughed happily when they heard it. They were very happy to have friends coming from afar.
In this beautiful country, it is imperative to guard against others. Compared with the domestic disputes, this side seems a bit rough and straightforward.
I won't mess with you, but you don't want to mess with me, Lin Shaojie still appreciates the castle's rules, I am the master of my territory.
If you break in illegally, I'll give you "chug".
But most of you should have seen Lin Shaojie's related videos, there is no one who is not open-eyed and wants to mess with him!
As a big celebrity in Xinlang Sports, it is normal for Li Dacheng to continue to follow and report on Lin Shaojie.
It is a little strange that MacDonald does not teach and educate people in China. After a chat, he understands that the old man who has settled in China has retired, and he will return to Canada from time to time to have a look.
Now he was "rehired" by Xinlang's side, and formed a team with Li Dacheng.
A lot of money is given, after all, they are also professionals.
MacDonald did not expect that when he met Lin Shaojie again, the young Lin Shaojie had already considered the issue of marriage. If the two of them hadn't wanted to hold a wedding in China, there would be a slight difference in age. I'm afraid it has already been put into action.
The basketball boy who "stunned" him during the major leagues is now about to start a family and start a business, and he thought everything happened yesterday in a trance.
But he is retired, let alone Lin Shaojie.
Time is gone forever.
MacDonald thought of Lin Shaojie's children and Lin Shaojie's marriage. In the western world, marriage is not a simple emotional issue between men and women.
Macdonald and Li Dacheng looked at each other, and they both understood what it meant.
For a player like Lin Shaojie who is not just a basketball player but represents great commercial value, if there is a marriage and divorce, it is equivalent to the combination and split of two listed companies, which is by no means a trivial matter.
Rich people generally have to do property justice before marriage, and the big divorce incident of the media tycoon that happened not long ago is vivid in my mind.
Jordan and the like, as well as Iverson, especially the latter, even if his life is not worrying, but in a high probability, his current assets are not as much as his ex-wife!
One of the reasons why many people don’t want to get married is that they don’t want the responsibility and pressure after marriage. In addition to involving property, it may be more of this invisible pressure. After marriage, the woman takes care of the children and the man works. If unemployment comes On their own heads, for some people with fragile mentality, they may not even have the courage to survive, and they may become homeless.
So a married person, a father with children, a father with a happy family, tends to give people a sense of reliability.
On the contrary, an older bachelor will give people a slightly inferior feeling.
This is the difference between responsibility and irresponsibility.
Thinking of this, Li Dacheng seemed to have heard the news that the house of the media tycoon's ex-wife in the imperial capital was taken over by Lin Shaojie.
It's been a long time since we saw each other. The little guy who was fighting for his dream on campus has become a giant supporting the sky.
Lin Shaojie welcomed his friends. He held a big banquet at home that day, and even called friends on the phone. Neighbors came one after another.
Li Dacheng, a reporter who often appears in Lin's house, is not unfamiliar. After all, he lived here for a while last year; MacDonald has a kind face, easy to deal with, and has a high emotional intelligence.
After clearing the snow last night, the spacious courtyard has become a playground for nearby children, while the parents are feasting on it, since anything can be baked anyway.
Some ladies who are good at cooking also brought the biscuits and desserts prepared in advance at home, which were placed in the open air.
The temperature of ten degrees during the day is still acceptable, and some ladies who are too cold are chatting in the sun room, which is no different from that in China.
Before the next game, Lin Shaojie had a day and a half to rest, and no one would disturb him, as long as he turned off the phone.
Compared with domestic social animals, this is undoubtedly much better.I was annoyed that the leader came over on a non-working day while holding the phone, and worried that I missed some important information if I didn't take the phone.
Pain and happiness!
After drinking and eating, Li Dacheng arrogantly stated that since he was overweight, but he learned how to shoot with the neighbor's old man, he wanted to prove himself on the basketball court.
Good guy, MacDonald is the referee, and the neighbors are all playing with Li Dacheng. It's lively. As for Lin Shaojie?
Sorry, BUG players like him are never allowed to participate, he will destroy the balance of the game.
MacDonald and Lin Shaojie, holding whistles, sat on the edge of the court, the leeward corner faced south, and the warm sun shone on them very comfortably.
"You are going to defend your title this season, does Granger's injury affect you a lot?"
Lin Shaojie nodded, then shook his head again.
"We're definitely going to defend the title, and Larry Bird has worked so hard for it.
We expected Danny (Granger) to be injured, but what we didn't expect was that it would be so serious and it would come so quickly.
Originally, we didn’t think too much about the small forward position. Paul George performed very well, and Danny was a substitute, but now we only have Rasu Butler in this position, me and Lance Stephen. Sen can temporarily replace.
I don't think there is any problem in the regular season. In the playoffs, we will definitely need reinforcements here. "
The Pacers were originally strong, but now they have become weak.But it's just missing a substitute, and McDonald understands the truth when he thinks about it.
"See if there are any suitable players in the market. Anyway, before the trade deadline, you must strengthen this point."
Lin Shaojie nodded. His relationship with MacDonald was far less close than that of Xie Zhenghe, but the relationship was also far from that of ordinary people.
At the beginning, McDonald helped him a lot when he joined the NBA, especially when he went to the Suns and other teams for trial training.
The most important thing is that the business team behind Lin Shaojie was gradually formed and perfected under the guidance of McDonald.
The old man seems to be quiet, but he is also a well-known coach of the Maple Leafs men's basketball team. He has trained several national players, and being a scout for the NBA is considered overkill.
Surprisingly, he actually likes Huaguo culture, and even settled in Huaguo.
As for the problem McDonald mentioned, it is also a problem in Lin Shaojie's mind. At present, the Pacers' trading target has not been determined, and whoever gets in and who gets out is troublesome.
If Granger, who is a meritorious minister, is traded at this time, he is afraid that he will be scolded miserably by the fans.
But the team's second-highest salary couldn't play, Granger's commercial value was already there, and it would be a disadvantage if he had one less player to fight.
Lin Shaojie was also a little helpless about this.
In fact, with the current lineup of the Pacers, there are no obvious loopholes. Lin Shaojie purely wants to do better at this time. Injuries are always the invisible killer of the winning team. No one can stop them. Often accidents are better than tomorrow earlier.
And Lin Shaojie was more worried about another point, whether the "smart" Larry Bird would go all out and trade Granger away.
The smiling "Big Bird" can manage a team not because of his soft-heartedness. Last night, it seemed that "chatting" obviously meant something else, but Lin Shaojie didn't know when this matter would be finalized.
Fortunately, he is also the core member of the team, and he will be the first one to know before something happens.
On the 6th, the battle between the Pacers and the Pistons in Detroit started at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Pistons decided to end the rebuild during the offseason and started the "WinNow" mode. Calderon and Mark Hill were missing from the familiar faces last season, and Middleton also went to the Bucks.
Chauncey Billups returned to the Pistons from the Clippers, and the joining of "Eagle King" Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings is indeed a bit see through
But in Lin Shaojie's view, their competitiveness in the Eastern District is not strong. After the change of coach, Maurice Cheeks from the 75ers took charge of the Pistons.
The seemingly good lineup, coupled with the tradition of the Pistons, they lack an undisputed core, there are too many players who can be the core, and there are too many players who share the ball.
The Pistons lacked an iconic player. Anyway, it is the kind of "quasi-star" player who looks full of talent but needs to "realize" to prove himself, whether he can succeed and break into the playoffs, the coach level is crucial.
Lin Shaojie hopes that the Pistons can give himself some surprises.
This is the Pacers' second back-to-back game this season. The first game is against such a Pistons. After the game, the Pacers will return to the home court and wait for their opponent the next day - the Bulls from Chicago.
Lin Shaojie had already booked the dinner in advance, and when Rose arrived, the latter readily agreed, expressing his desire to break Lynn's spell.
Not only did he want to win, but he also wanted to make Lin En willingly pay for a treat.
