My basketball vision is different

119 is better than 87!

32 points difference.

From the 29-point difference when Lin Shaojie left the field to the 32-point difference at the end of the game, the Pacers' substitutes knew how to do it and didn't play hard.

The Pacers defeated the Nets by a big score in the away game. Although it was not like the two games against the Rockets or the Celtics, such a point difference still made Paul George very excited after the game.

Everyone understands how much attention has been paid to this Christmas battle, and there is absolutely no shortage of gimmicks.

The most important thing is that Pierce of the Nets lost face and face.

"We didn't have an advantage at the beginning, but we made adjustments quickly. With Lynn, we can always maintain our desire for victory, and this desire for victory will make our opponents tired, and the final result will also be difficult." illustrates the point."

Paul George said excitedly.

"I think, we're already a team with multiple All-Stars, and yes, besides Lynn and me, Stephenson is also an All-Star, and he's got a triple-double in less than three quarters. , I can't think of any player who is not an All-Star who can perform like this, he is an indispensable member of us, he is an All-Star in our hearts..."

Everyone is aware of the "canvassing" behavior that Paul George inadvertently revealed.

When the All-Star voting was in full swing, Paul George was not stingy with helping Lin Shaojie's younger brother. He and Lin Shaojie were already a certainty, and it was confirmed that they had entered the All-Star. Now of course, some "soup and water" must be distributed to others.

At present, the most promising of the whole team is not Hibbert, nor West, nor George Hill, but Stephenson, the Pacers' "best sixth man," in the contract year, Stephenson played The best performance, needless to say, in order to keep him, the Pacers will definitely offer a big contract.

Whether it was his chaotic battle on the court or under the command of Lin Shaojie, Stephenson has played a good role.

The most important thing is that during Paul George's downturn, Stephenson performed very well and was able to make up for the Pacers' shortcomings.

No matter what, Paul George must have a little respect for this player who can "wipe his own ass".

And Stephenson, who heard Paul George's words, seemed very happy. Although everyone in the team knew that he was the younger brother of the first boss, no one could deny that the second boss "loved him."

This feeling of being "loved" and the possibility of an All-Star game beckoning to him made Stephenson feel like a salty fish turning over. At least before Lin Shaojie came, he hadn't found this in the Pacers. s position.

Twelve years ago, he was a mere substitute in the Pacers, averaging 12 minutes per game, scoring only two or three points, and was easily overlooked.

The change of fate came from the year before last. Under the leadership of the Huaguo, although he was still a substitute, his average playing time increased to nearly 10 minutes per game. On many occasions, his playing time even far surpassed George Hill. The score has even reached the 10+ level, and the title of the best sixth man has been called by the host on many occasions.

Stephenson likes this feeling!

And this season, he not only set new highs in scoring and rebounding, but also averaged 7+ per game. Stephenson knew very well that he was Lin Shaojie's younger brother, and the older brother would give him a chance to grab defensive rebounds.

All Pacers players know that Lin Shaojie doesn't bother to snatch defensive rebounds. That's a benefit for the younger brother. As long as you dare to fight hard, you can get statistics.

In defense, Lin Shaojie will solve the most uncomfortable player on the opposite side.

This boss will even help you block and let you pick up rebounds.

Anyway, experienced players have never seen such a responsible boss, follow him and have "meat" to eat!

On the contrary, it was Hibbert, the naive guy who had the highest salary in the team, but he was a bit lazy on the court, and sometimes his rebounding was not as good as him - Stephenson, the swingman!

The whistle of the referee brought the Christmas game to an end. Lin Shaojie, as a highly anticipated superstar, obviously had not yet reached the time to relax. After washing up, he followed the head coach to the post-match press conference.

In the locker room of the away game before coming, Lin Shaojie and Frank got good news. George Hill is not a big problem. He may need to rest for a day or two. Maybe he will be able to play when he faces the Nets in the next game.

Yes, the Pacers and Nets are playing back-to-back home and away games with three days in between.

After Christmas, the entire December game is about to usher in the final game.

George Hill just looked miserable. After all, he was completely unresponsive after falling to the ground. In fact, the skull protects the brain very well. I just don’t know if George Hill has any sequelae.

"I can't forgive Pierce for that foul, it was close to murder."

Although Frank received good news after the game, George Hill was recovering well. It looked like a serious injury, and he only needed a rest to recover.

But the tragic situation when George Hill was fouled still stays in Frank's mind. The seemingly sound Pacers have begun to enter a period of high incidence of injuries. Before and after the All-Star break, every team will usher in this situation.

Frank didn't want the core starters in the team to suffer heavy losses. Today there will be Pierce, tomorrow there will be Pierce, and there will always be someone who will continue to challenge your bottom line and cause you trouble.

Frank's firing has nothing to say to the reporters at the scene, and it is even possible that the league will impose additional punishment for this.

The Pacers are in full swing and the Nets' dog meat buns can't make it to the stage. The top management of the league will definitely make a choice, and the Christmas game is over. Ashamed of George Hill's concussion.

Lin Shaojie also expressed his hope for severe punishment. Everyone came to the court to play and fight hard, not to die.

After all, this is not a battlefield. Pierce's flagrant foul obviously crossed the line, far beyond the confrontation on the court.

Lin Shaojie even said lightly that if anyone dared to treat Pacers players like this, he would not be stingy with his counterattack.

The seemingly arrogant and domineering remarks have been unanimously praised by the reporters!

On the other side, Deron and Kidd participated in the press conference together. At the meeting, Deron bluntly stated that this game was like a nightmare.

No, to be precise, the Nets this season is a nightmare.

Seeing that Delong's confidence was almost lost, the reporters quickly asked: "Delong, do you have the confidence to turn things around?"

"No, not only I don't have it, but the whole team doesn't. I don't see that kind of confidence in all the players including me!"

After finishing speaking, Delong hardly dared to look at Kidd's face, and said to himself:

"Our goal at the beginning of the season is too different from our current record. Without Lopez, we want the Pacers with super players to go head-to-head. It is completely unfeasible. I am very disappointed.

Our age group is very unreasonable, let alone the Pacers, even against some other weak teams, our performance is so unbearable, I don't know what we are doing on the court..."

Deron's almost collapsed performance made all Kidd's subsequent words empty, and he could only speak along.

"Yes, some of our players have habitually lost, and some veterans don't have the passion to fight. They prefer to rest on the credits of the past..."

In the locker room, Garnett, who was comforting his teammates, was furious when he heard this.

"Shit, although we are losing, it's just that we haven't found a way that suits us. We lack our own characteristics and positioning. We have lost so many games that shouldn't be lost. What we need is inspiration and victory. rather than shirking responsibility."

Speaking, Garnett still pointed to Kidd on the screen in the locker room and said.

"I'm not a guy who is used to losing. We just went through a difficult time. Are you willing to lose habitually?"

Some of the players responded, while others remained silent.

Moving to the Nets in Brooklyn is a big city and a big ball market. It is an honor for players to play here.

Some for salary, some for reputation.

But just like the sorrow of the big ball market, there are very few players who can do everything for victory.

This is the case with the Knicks, and the current Nets are no exception.

There are not many players with high salaries in the big ball market who play poorly!

The Nets also seem to have fallen into this spell!

After attending the press conference, Lin Shaojie received a call from Larry Bird. "Big Bird" had already learned in advance that Pierce would be suspended for one more game for his malicious foul in this game.

This is undoubtedly good news for the Pacers who will return to home against the Nets in three days.

Although the old Pierce can only rely on his strength and experience to defend in defense, an older and more demonic player like him can score a dozen points in regular time, and he is relentless at critical moments. Cora is a weak player, and the Pacers certainly hope that their opponents will be weaker.

And if Pierce can't play, it will undoubtedly be much easier to deal with the Nets at this time.

After hanging up the phone, Su Zhen, who was by Lin Shaojie's side, looked at Lin Shaojie in a daze.

The bustling night scene of New York is self-evident. As a world-class metropolis, this Christmas, the bustling downtown will let you experience the best side.

Prosperity and splendor!

Walking in the streets and squares, and seeing the Christmas trees from time to time, Lin Shaojie thought of the scene when he saw "Home Alone" in middle school.

But thinking of some of the meaning revealed in Larry Bird's words, he was a little worried.

As Stephenson's state is getting better and better, the feeling of playing at an outstanding level in a contract year and doing everything for a large contract has made Stephenson the most popular player in the Pacers, especially Paul George. In the bad games, Stephenson's market was optimistic.

If they want to keep him, the Pacers will have to pay a price, but for a small team, a Pacers who are thrifty and housekeeping, how much money is appropriate to spend on Stephenson is a very troublesome thing.

"You feel a little unhappy?"

Su Zhen looked at Lin Shaojie and said suddenly.

"No, it's just something on my mind!"

Lin Shaojie stroked Su Zhen's hair gently.

"Granger is gone, he freed us nearly 400 million in salary space, but Stephens' performance allowed him to at least get a salary of more than 1000 million, and the Pacers have always been careful. unwilling to pay the luxury tax.

Judging from the current situation, the Pacers can only offer an annual salary of 800 million or 900 million at most. As far as I know Larry Bird, he cannot give more, but for Stephenson, he is eager for a job. big contract.

With his current performance, without 1000 million, it is difficult to keep him. "

Su Zhen knew that Stephenson's current salary was less than one million. Without the Huaguo contract brought by his boyfriend, Stephenson's life would not be too satisfactory. Some time ago, he was able to buy a sports car, which was from Huaguo. The country's "gift."

All of this makes Stephenson look forward to the second contract in his life.

Even for most American basketball players, except for those in the lottery zone, most of them want to make a comeback, which may come from their second professional contract, and that is the moment to reflect their value.

As a second-round pick, Stephenson can now be the best sixth man in a team like the Pacers, which is definitely an inspirational model.

Everything is just a struggle for a bright future.

"Maybe Stephenson will accept Larry Bird's offer?"

Su Zhen said hopefully that she knew that her boyfriend liked the current atmosphere in the team, at least it was not easy to get along to this level.

"That's my worry. Although Larry Bird is very kind to me, it can be seen from the matter of sending Granger away. After all, he is a high-level executive, and he has more interests in his eyes. I The worry is that he may not even be willing to pay the money.”

Although the salary from less than one million to eight or nine million is an increase of eight or nine times, at least in the normal salary system, it is difficult to achieve, but this is very common in the basketball world, especially in contract years. Worth, and then fish in troubled waters to work without much effort.

Some people dare to bet, some people dare not bet.

No one knows whether this is the norm for Stephenson, or whether he is doing his best to win a big contract for the future.

Stephenson off the court is a little restless and too jumpy, everyone knows this.

With such a character, it is really difficult for you to judge where his upper limit is, but their lower limit may come at any time.

Fortunately, Stephenson still listens to Lin Shaojie on the court, but that's all!

You can decide someone else's career, but you can't decide someone else's life.

Christmas Eve in New York is beautiful. Putting aside the uneasy factors in my mind, the two of them moved into an apartment that had already been rented, an apartment full of Christmas flavor.

On the way home, I bought some vegetables from Chinatown, and the two of us had a sweet candlelight dinner.

After the meal, the two watched a movie together, the movie was "Home Alone."

Su Zhen, who was nestled in Lin Shaojie's arms, soon fell asleep.

After more than two hours of a game, plus shopping at night, Su Zhen was finally carried to bed by Lin Shaojie.

......

The three Christmas games came to an end one after another. In Lin Shaojie's impression, the Knicks participated the most in the Christmas games, followed by the Lakers.

This is also worthy of the confidence of the two giants in the East and the West and the big ball market.

But this year's Christmas battle is not a very good memory for the giants of the East and West.

Kobe, who was on the sidelines, could only watch the Lakers lose to the Heat at home, allowing the Heat to win six consecutive away games, while the Lakers swallowed a three-game losing streak.

But the winning Heat were not the big winners in this game. Nick Young caused fouls on LeBron one after another, which humiliated the "little emperor". It is really difficult to defeat the Lakers' belly.

Ray Allen's 12 points are crucial, and the score of 101 to 95 speaks for itself.

Although Nick Young's shooting percentage was not high, the 20 points he got was the highest in the team, almost killing the Heat.

The game between the Thunder and the Knicks was a bit dull. The Knicks, who had lost three straight at home, lost to the Thunder, which was tied for first place in the West, with a score of 123 to 94, giving the Thunder a 29-point lead.

Durant scored four three-pointers, scored 29 points, and also had 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Yin Baka also scored 24 points, and Westbrook scored his first triple-double this season.

14 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists!

The Knicks, without Anthony, only relied on the comeback Stoudemire to score a team-high 22 points, but the "Little Overlord" only had 2 rebounds, which is not as good as Jr. Hardaway's 21 points and 5 rebounds , Jr. Smith's data is good, 20 points and 6 rebounds.

But without Anthony, the final player, the Knicks, who lost to their opponents at home, have nothing to say.

The game entered the rhythm of the Thunder from the beginning, until the third quarter of the game, the Thunder instantly opened the gap between the two sides.

Madison Square Garden booed at that moment.

In the end, the huge point difference also shows the strength gap between the two sides.

As for the most anticipated battle between the Pacers and the Nets, for a certain period of time, the score belonged to alternate upper bodies, which was very interesting, but from the whole game, it seemed that everything was in the hands of the Pacers.

In summary after the game, the biggest highlight came from Pierce's foul. From that moment on, the balance of victory was completely tilted towards the Pacers.

In the three games, the stars are the Pacers and the Nets, but unfortunately, it is still a matter of background. Even if the Pacers are the most expensive team in the league, the team with a 100% winning rate will not help. Many people still only focus on it. On the Knicks and Lakers.

When the media commented on these three games, they had to focus on the Pacers.

In this series of games, the only player who can do it is the Thunder's Durant.

But comparing these two bug-level players in the league, Durant cannot compare with Lin Shaojie in terms of scoring efficiency and organizational efficiency. This is also a natural existence, and the reporters cannot deny it.

The most important thing is that Lin Shaojie's ability to break double teams is obviously stronger than Durant, so when bragging about his own people, reporters still have to be more or less scruples, so look at the summary of the Christmas game.

"Lynn cowhide" has become the choice of more people.

The Rockets, who originally wanted to have the opportunity to participate in the Christmas battle, could only watch these opponents walk on the big stage one by one.

Ask Howard if he has any regrets about leaving the Lakers. There must be some. After all, for "Warcraft", being able to stay in a big city like Los Angeles must enjoy more eyes than Houston.

What made him feel uncomfortable was that they lost to their old rival, the Mavericks, 104 to 111 in the Texas "same city" battle on Christmas Eve. They led by 11 points in the first half, and they were beaten by the Mavericks in the third quarter. Wave overtook the score 15 to 1.

Although Warcraft scored 29 points and 15 rebounds in the whole game, it was still reversed by the Mavericks.

"Harden was injured" was originally just a joke. I didn't expect Harden to be unable to play due to injury, so Howard was so angry that he lost to the Mavericks of the senior team.

Howard, who has outstanding scoring and rebounding data, has not been praised by the media.

In the post-match stats table, Howard was completely wiped out. When playing low-post singles, "Warcraft"'s shooting rate was only 30.00%.

It can be seen that Howard without a pick-and-roll is an inefficient player. Howard, who looks strong, is actually a foreign gun candle head.

In the era when the league lacked low-post killers, Howard's inaction didn't seem to be a big problem. After all, the league's current zone defense rules have made low-post scoring inefficient.

But looking back at another statistical table, as the Pacers guard, he is still a serious point guard. Lin Shaojie's shooting percentage in the low post is more than [-]%, which makes the forward players feel embarrassed.

When this league does not encourage low-post singles, and hopes that everyone will open up to the outside and play more beautifully, Lin Shaojie's excellent low-post skills, the show Howard's face is dull!

Not to mention that they lost the game, and the Pacers won the Christmas game and received the most attention.

Look at the praise on Twitter, how many times Howard was pulled out to flog his corpse.

So on Christmas Eve, Howard wasn't in a good mood, he could only follow the crowd and send a Christmas greeting.

Pierce is more uncomfortable than Howard.

I didn't know what kind of nerves I had during the Christmas game, so I was sent off in a daze.

Not only that, but the alliance added an additional game the next day, and the [-] dollars fined was nothing.

After being expelled, he has not accepted interviews with reporters until now, and after losing to the Pacers, the Nets have once again suffered a losing streak.

In the next day's team training match, Pierce had to admit the mistakes he made, but now it doesn't help. He will still be unable to play in the next game. For a team like the Nets, without him This point, I am afraid it is a pity.

Everyone knows Kidd's importance to him and respects him enough.

Garnett knew that Lin Shaojie was still in the Big Apple, and the footage of him and his girlfriend being secretly photographed in Times Square last night also made the news.

I wanted to be a peacemaker and ask the other party to have a small gathering, but Lin Shaojie rejected this proposal, and the reasons given by him were also very reasonable.

Due to the intensive competition, there are few chances for Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen to be together, let alone this Christmas trip. They just want to live a quiet life for the two of them without being disturbed.

Garnett, who had no choice but to hang up the phone, could only wave his hands and gave up.

Pierce also had to give up this opportunity.

Whether it was intentional or not, the matter has passed, and it is useless to say more.

Treating guests to dinner is just to show an attitude, he is not afraid of the other party.

But looking at Garnett and Kidd's face-to-face discord, Pierce himself was having a headache. Discord between generals is a big taboo. Everyone used to be super giants. Now they meet together and become masters and apprentices. Know what it's going to be like when the next game goes to Indiana.

Pierce was even a little thankful that he didn't have to face the Pacers. After all, it was not an easy task for them to fight the Pacers!
