My basketball vision is different
Chapter 402 The playoffs are coming
In the last game of the regular season, the Pacers finally defeated the Philadelphia 105ers with a score of 95 to 75 after four quarters of intense competition at Conseco Arena.
Lin Shaojie once again scored 30+ points, bringing his scoring average to 27+. His 13 assists are also average. There is nothing to criticize. In short, these statistics are "average."
The most important thing is that the Pacers won the last game of the regular season, which is very important.
It's a pity for Pat Riley, the "magic fortune teller" who is far away in Miami.
The Heat with 65 wins and 17 losses is only one game away from the Pacers with 66 wins and 16 losses, but the first is the first.
Why is the "Black Eight Miracle" so cherished in the history of the NBA? Isn't it just that it is normal for the boss to beat the boss, and it is not easy for a younger brother to stand up.
The Pacers' victory in the last game also made their No. [-] unshakable.
Now that the final ranking of the East is out, first and second are not simply the difference in rankings, but also how the playoffs are arranged. In all aspects, the number one must occupy the advantage on paper.
Throughout March, the Pacers still had a record of 12 wins and 5 losses, making their record stable at the top of the league.
But in April, there was a sudden change in the situation. In the remaining games, the Pacers showed a weak state of follow-up.
Before the playoffs, there are only seven games remaining in the regular season, but apart from the undecided game against the 76ers, the Pacers only won two of the other six games, one against the Clippers and one against the Cavaliers.
In other games, whether facing the Thunder of the Western Youth Army, or an underdog like the Wizards, or even a team like the Nets, the Pacers give people a feeling that I can lose.
If you lose again today, you will lose Game 7.
This is far from the gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas in the first half of the season.
"First of all, we have to be clear, what is the reason for their loss? Why do they do this?"
When Pat Riley, who was sitting in a key position, started to ask questions, the others also stopped flipping through the information in front of them.
"I think the reason for the loss has little to do with Lynn. Although the current media is pointing the finger at him, we should not follow suit. The Pacers are definitely one of the most powerful teams in the playoffs.
In this game, Lynn was still able to do his job with ease and was in good condition. On the contrary, Danny Granger's performance was a little bit behind, but he was very eye-catching among the substitute players.
Judging from the current rankings, the Pacers' opponent in the first round is the Bucks, we face the Celtics, the Nets against the Bulls, the Knicks against the Eagles... If the Pacers can make it past the second round, Their opponent is either the Nets or the Bulls, and we are likely to run into the Knicks.
With the strength of the Eagles, there are still big problems in wanting to beat the Knicks..."
With the data in front of them, everyone realized that the Pacers' first win was really refreshing, and they were facing some weak teams in the playoffs.
Whether it is the Bucks in the first round, the Nets or the Bulls, these teams are not comparable to the Celtics or the Knicks.
Especially the Celtics. Although the Heat are not afraid of this dilapidated, old and old team, they can't resist their reputation and rich experience in the playoffs.
No matter what, if the opponent really fights his life, the Heat will lose one or two games.
Of course, it is impossible to lose the series. It is impossible for the Heat to lose to such an opponent, at most it is difficult.
Unlike the Bucks, the Bucks have nothing. The regular season has a winning percentage of less than [-]%, and they changed coaches halfway through. If the Heat have such an opponent, it feels like they can play with their eyes closed.
This is why the Heat tried their best to win the first place in the end. In the eastern part where the situation is becoming more and more obvious, winning the first place is conservatively estimated to be the semifinals, and they can enter the Eastern Conference finals with a little effort.
"So, our opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is likely to be the Pacers?"
someone said.
"The possibility is very high. Although the Pacers have lost a lot in the last few games, we can see through analysis that they are not just rotating the lineup.
Lynn's average playing time has also dropped from the early 10s to 25 minutes, and the playing time of key players such as Paul George and David West has also declined.
Lance Stephenson, Tyler Hansbrough and other main substitutes in their team have sufficient playing time...
Danny Granger's average playing time has also come to almost 10 minutes. He is recovering very well, averaging 14 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds per game... With his hatred for us, If we meet us in the playoffs, we will definitely spare no effort..."
"It is true that the Pacers have performed very well this season, but as a rookie, has No. 13 of the Pacers had any cruel experience in the playoffs?
Would he think that he won the opponent in the regular season and won the opponent in the playoffs?
Last year we were able to defeat them, and this year is the same. I need the players and the uniform staff to be foolproof. This year is an important moment for us to defend the title. No one is allowed to lose the chain at this moment..."
Pat Riley said noncommittally.
When the Eastern Conference regular season ended, each team in the Eastern Conference began to list their opponents one by one.
One's own opponents, potential opponents, etc. must be analyzed one by one, and even this kind of behavior begins to be prepared during the regular season.
Unlike the Heat's full confidence, the Bucks ended in a six-game losing streak in the last few games.
Although they finally squeezed into the playoffs, all the players felt infinitely exhausted. Many people in the team even said that their goal has been achieved by being able to enter the playoffs, and it is profitable to play one more game.
And in the first round of the playoffs, the opponent is none other than one of their sufferers, the Indiana Pacers. Everyone is an old opponent, and they can't be more familiar with each other.
Although some people also joked that Lynn was just a rookie and hadn't experienced the playoffs yet, if they really performed abnormally in the playoffs, would they have a chance to reproduce a "black eight!"
The player who said this was joking, but after he finished speaking, all the players, including Monta Ellis, looked at him with strange eyes.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Ellis got up and patted fellow rookie John Hansen.
This season, the Bucks selected the power forward John Hansen from North Carolina in the first round of the pick, but throughout the season, the average playing time was only 13 minutes per game, and he only got the chance to start 9 games, but he didn't. hold on.
Averaged 6 points per game, 4+ rebounds, and assists tending to zero. How can such data be used to evaluate a super rookie who dared to compete with those superstars for honors during his rookie period.
John Hansen felt that everyone looked at him strangely.
Although Monta is a latecomer, he is one of the few players in the Bucks with an annual salary of tens of millions. In the current Bucks, there are only him and Dunleavy.
Besides, he was also the big boss of the Warriors back then, but he was given up because of the newcomer's early career. It's not that his strength is not good, and he is still the big boss in the Bucks.
"We played against them, do you think as a team that almost doesn't have to worry about the playoffs, even if they lack rookies, they will lose their fighting spirit?"
"But, but recently they have also lost a lot!"
Hansen had to quibble for himself, and the veteran Mike Dunleavy patted the rookie.
"I've been with the Pacers for a while, some of them are my old acquaintances, we want to climb their mountain in the playoffs, as long as you can see it in the first game of the playoffs, it's useless to say anything now .
But... John (Hanson), as a rookie in your class and even in history, Lynn is at least a player of Rose's level. Do you think Rose will be soft in the playoffs? "
John Hansen stopped talking. Rose's injury did not affect his evaluation among players. If it weren't for the injury... well, no if, too many people want to see Rose stand up again , There are also many people who want him to kneel down.
If Lynn conservatively evaluates that they are all players like Rose, then think about the opponent's style of play. I heard that it is very healthy, and it will never destroy each other's bodies like Rose. From this point of view, the Bucks may be sad this time. up.
In China, after half a year of regular season, the NBA has finally come to an end and officially entered the playoffs. The Pacers, who won 66 wins and 16 losses, gave a satisfactory answer with the best results in the league!
Although in the last period of time, the Pacers showed a little hip stretch, but a group of fans began to analyze the form of the playoffs long before those games.
In theory, the Pacers can secure the first position as long as they win three games, but the Pacers still put the last victory on the 75ers. For many fans, it is really thrilling.
They are very afraid of being overturned by the Heat at the last moment. The second and first playoffs are completely different.
And there are too many fans who are afraid of the curse of "a tie can qualify". What they want is a quick victory, but the Pacers seem to be playing them, with various rotations, various tests, Anyway, relying on his previous winning advantage, he squandered it at will!
Lin Shaojie also tried various things. Many people couldn't understand the final game. One word, "chaos!"
Fortunately, the Pacers resisted the pressure at the last moment and won a key victory.
The game that determined the ranking made the domestic fans smile, because judging from the current situation of the first round match, the Pacers are very good on paper, far easier than the Celtics, Knicks and the like many.
Although many people know that this year's Celtics just can't do it, everyone is worried whether the former "Big Three," and today's "2+1 Giants" will regain their glory, even if Rondo is reimbursed for the season, but the Tigers The power of death is still there, and Garnett and Pierce are not good at it!
Look at the stag, it looks like the kind that is easy to bully, of course the persimmon is soft.
"Congratulations in advance to Director Lin for advancing to the first round."
On Weibo, such comments emerge endlessly. Although fans like things like Hei Ba very much, no one likes such things to happen to their own heads.
There are too many people talking, and there are always some different voices coming out, especially Lin Shaojie has offended some people, so naturally someone will help them speak out.
"Don't say it so early, who knows if it will be the same as the Rockets back then. No matter how strong the Pacers are, Lin Shaojie is just a rookie and has not experienced the cruel playoffs."
"Upstairs, what do you mean by that? Director Lin was still a rookie when he entered the national team, and he's already making a big splash in the Olympics."
"It's just a bronze medal!"
"Yo ho, it's just a bronze medal? You are worthy of saying such a thing. Go and show me a bronze medal. He led the team to win the first record in the league in his rookie year. I don't know where you have the face to say this." talk."
"I just said what's the matter, and no one is allowed to object, right?"
Fans expressed their opinions on Weibo, forums, and wherever they could speak. In most cases, they were still very optimistic about the Pacers' first round.
There are also many people who are critical, but after all, they are not in the air, and they can only express some dissenting opinions sporadically.
Lin Shaojie, who was far away in Indianapolis, returned home early with a slightly tired body.
Originally, it was better to come back later, but after the last game today, Frank waved his hand, and all the staff rested, and they will start training tomorrow.
At that moment, Lin Shaojie heard cheers, although his teammates wanted to invite Lin Shaojie to have dinner together, but Lin Shaojie said that they can go to the bar they often go to tonight, all the expenses will be on him, as for himself, he will not go.
At that moment, the teammates cheered even louder, especially Lin Shaojie said that if there are some excessive things, they cannot be counted on his account.
When hearing this, Hibbert and Paul George's eyes lit up.
What does this mean? Isn't it that Lin Shaojie acquiesced that they can go out "not taboo for meat and vegetables"!
so happy!
Lin Shaojie, who came home alone, saw that the doors and windows of the house were closed, and he knew without thinking that it must be his parents and Su Zhen who went shopping.
In March, Su Zhen, who had gone through the difficult period of the first three months, finally entered a safe period, and no longer had to worry about it as before, but Su's mother still disagreed with Su Zhen's going to watch the game at home.
Because the noise at the scene was too loud, although the family doctor Skelly said that the problem was not serious, Mother Su and Mother Lin firmly believed that it was better for the child to be quiet!
All for the sake of the child, Su Zhen could only stay at home.
In addition, the games in March and April are not as focused on victory as in the past, so it's fine if Su Zhen doesn't go.
But the last few games were really average.
After participating in the entire regular season and 82 games, Lin Shaojie felt as if he was yesterday.
Lin Shaojie stood in front of the sun room and thought for a while, then took out a guitar from the room and started to entertain himself.
The weather in April is much warmer. Although the courtyard is not full of trees, it is already full of spring scenery and luxuriant grass.
Lin Shaojie sat on the ground with no image, strumming the guitar casually in his hand, although it was just a few simple chords, it sounded very pleasant to the ears, relaxed and bright, but vaguely felt lonely.
When Su Zhen and her mother came back, they saw almost such a situation.
After Su's mother entered the hospital, she had to sigh with emotion that her son-in-law was outstanding. If she didn't know that he was a basketball player, and the scene in front of her, she would have thought it was a young literary and artistic youth on a spring outing. Looking at his appearance, It is not an exaggeration to say that Fengshen is handsome.
Handsome is really handsome, a perfect match for my daughter!
It's just the sense of loneliness brought about by the tranquility, which makes the whole person seem to want to leave this world of feasting and debauchery, it's too dusty!
Su's mother also knew that Lin Shaojie liked music, and there were a lot of treasured music at home, from equipment to books, which were all top-notch, and it was also one of Lin Shaojie's few spending items.
A young man with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars is really not short of money. I think Su Zhen’s father was so arrogant when he won the first pot of gold. Now everyone at home can see the filming in the late 80s those photos.
Afro, sunglasses, flared trousers, and "Dacron" shirts with open collars and exposed chests, flea-wrapped without hems, which are not fundamentally different from the "non-mainstream" a few years ago.
In the final analysis, the growth of wealth is too fast, and the quality has not kept up.
Looking at their own son-in-law, Lin Congrong and his wife are not even considered a middle-class family. If they were not in a beautiful country, they would be the kind of housewives who have to budget carefully when buying vegetables.
No matter how much Mother Lin loves to play with cauliflower, her hands and feet are neat, but she can't change her nature of being diligent and thrifty in housekeeping and careful planning!
It doesn't matter whether it's a petty bourgeois mentality or a small peasant mentality, this is normal, and anyone who can save a dime or two in buying a vegetable is profitable.
But two normal people gave birth to an abnormal Lin Shaojie. This is what surprised Su's mother.
When I was in London at the beginning, it could only be said that the commercial value of young people had begun to show, but had not yet been realized.
But the time to enter the NBA is not short, and those potentials are also being fulfilled one by one. In addition to salary income, other aspects of income are far more and faster than those on the court.
But Mother Su couldn't see the panic and confusion that a young man should have.
It's like a person who has never enjoyed the right, and suddenly one day has the power of life and death. Often this brings destruction and tragedy!
This must be a gradual process, but it only takes a long time. As long as Su's mother knows, Lin Shaojie's investment in other places accounts for about [-]% of his income.
It is difficult to make money, and it is not easy to spend it.
If you keep your wealth and increase it steadily, it is the result of many generations of education. Lin Shaojie seems to have learned it without a teacher, or he has experienced it.
As for the rest, some of them were taken back to China, and they went to the sports fund on the one hand and the education fund on the other. Although it was only a small amount, it was not a small amount after all.
Some time ago, Lin Shaojie also ordered a fire truck from Europe to send to the provincial capital. The designated fire brigade was near Jiangnan University, which happened to cover Jiangnan University.
I heard, just heard, but Xie Zheng and the coach were very happy. I don’t know how many times I mentioned this in school. Every time the fire alarm bell rang on the road, Lao Xie’s face seemed to be full of tears. Contradictory colors.
On the one hand, it is because the child is grown up and promising, so I can earn face for him; on the other hand, I don't want to hear such a voice, which is very contradictory!
Mother Su had seen the check written by Lin Shaojie with her own eyes. If ordinary young people had the money, they would have bought a luxury car. Who would have thought that Lin Shaojie's first car bought with money would be this one!
Apart from the Lin family, as well as Xie Zhenghe, who assisted in this matter, and related personnel knew about this matter, Lin Shaojie didn't say anything to the outside world at all.
Since then, Su's mother's view of Lin Shaojie has changed a lot.
"Mom, Auntie, you are back!"
Putting down the guitar in his hand, Lin Shaojie went up to meet him.
The community in Polis is no different from other cities in the beautiful country, but it is very different from the domestic ones.
Shopping is not convenient. You have to drive out every time. Unlike in China, even in a small county, you can shop nearby. There are always places where you can buy things near your residential area.
Of course, in some remote places with poor supervision, you will buy products such as "Rabi", "Kori-Cola" and "Mengwu" from time to time.
Usually, the Lin family would receive some similar gifts during the Chinese New Year. Lin Shaojie drank it, and the taste was not bad. It seemed that there was too much sweetener.
Now here, although those products are rare, the regular products with the brand names are not very good. Looking at the ingredient list, it is not far from the periodic table of elements. The main reason is that it is legal here.
It belongs to the standard "fast food" food, which is very cost-effective, but as long as it has something to do with "organic" and "green", the price will rise immediately.
The ingredients for Lin Shaojie's athletes' meals were all bought with money, and many of the Lin family's ingredients were also delivered one after another.
In short, it costs a lot to eat!
Just as Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen were preparing dinner with their parents, the phone rang.
It's Pau Gasol's call.
Lin Shaojie was a little strange. The Pacers lost more than they won at the last moment, and they relied on their previous record to make waves at the last moment.
Even if Granger's pace is unstable, he can still give him a chance, even other substitute players.
And what about the Lakers?
The first half of the season was terrible, but fortunately, he worked hard in the mid-term and barely succeeded.
Even without today's game against the Rockets, the Lakers squeezed into the last train of the last playoffs with an advantage of two wins.
Regardless of the result of today's game against the Rockets, the Lakers have already secured eighth, and the Rockets have theoretically lost the possibility of entering the playoffs.
So Lin Shaojie and Kobe were still joking on the phone last night. Today’s game can be fun, there is no need to fight so hard, the playoffs are coming soon, Kobe, you also fulfilled your vow to lead the team into the playoffs!
But what did Kobe say?
"I don't care about other things, but I can't let go of the Rockets easily. They hooked up with Paul (Gasol) before, and then flirted with Howard. Can I swallow this breath?"
So seeing Gasol's phone call at this time, Lin Shaojie was a little strange.
"Paul, how are you? Did you win?"
"Sorry Lynn, I don't think I'll be able to meet you in the Finals."
Lin Shaojie heard Kobe's voice on Gasol's phone.
"The game is not over yet, but I think my season is over early."
"Old Branch?"
Lin Shaojie walked out of the kitchen with the phone in hand. Su Zhen looked at Lin Shaojie with a slightly dignified expression, and also put down the fruit plate in his hand!
"Is that what I think?"
"almost!"
Kobe on the other end of the phone endured the pain and said: "Damn, no one fouled, but my Achilles tendon..."
"You're in the hospital, right?"
"Yes!"
Lin Shaojie who hung up the phone said helplessly to Su Zhen: "I wanted to accompany you these days, but the playoffs are about to start and I don't have time, but there are some problems with Kobe."
"Is it serious?"
"Season reimbursement!"
Lin Shaojie said, "I'll go there tomorrow morning!"
"I'll accompany you!"
Lin Shaojie looked at it, then nodded: "OK!"
During dinner, Su's mother was still saying that the NBA's top players look good and earn a lot, but this injury is also frequent. A star like Kobe will be reimbursed for the season if he is injured, at least for a few months.
Lin Shaojie felt a little helpless after eating a boring dinner.
Compared with the 90s, the pace of today's NBA is significantly faster. All kinds of fancy realizations and changing rhythms of running will cause continuous wear and tear on the Achilles tendon and ligaments, and problems will definitely occur after a long time.
Plus Kobe's age, playing time and so on.
I reminded him a long time ago that now Lin Shaojie can't say he deserves it!
Early the next morning, Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen flew to Los Angeles. After landing, they rushed to the hospital and saw many reporters at the door.
Before Lin Shaojie came, the Lakers players had just left for a while. For Lin Shaojie, he traveled half a beautiful distance to see Kobe. This is a true friendship, which is completely different from those who are on Twitter or make a phone call.
Vanessa was quite helpless when she saw Kobe, who was a little loveless in the hospital bed, with her children on the side.
The appearance of Lin Shaojie improved the atmosphere in the ward.
Seeing Kobe's miserable appearance, Lin Shaojie didn't know what to say.
In order to hold the so-called fate in his own hands, whether it was back-to-back games or facing a strong enemy, Kobe tried his best at the last moment to activate the crazy mode, and even scored 47 points when facing the Blazers. But it was won in the Blazers' "Devil's Home Stadium" Rose Garden Arena!
During that time, Howard's performance in the team was very ordinary, because all the limelight was taken away by Kobe, so when interviewing reporters, he would always inadvertently criticize someone for being too independent and not giving him the ball.
But did Kobe care about it?
No, the conflict between the two of them is almost obvious, and Kubchak even wants to be a peacemaker.
Kobe doesn't plan to work with a guy who doesn't re-sign, and he's on fire right now, even without Howard.
But now!
Kobe no longer has the "glory years" of the past, but only endless loneliness.
He is already at this age, and he wanted to be brilliant again under the "F4" of the new era, but this serious injury almost ruined his career.
Even though he acted like a tough man in front of the reporters, Kobe was as fragile as a child in the ward full of medical equipment!
child?
Lin Shaojie's appearance of wanting to laugh but not wanting to laugh is very annoying.
"What are you doing here?"
"Me? Of course I'm here to see Jaina, I'm not looking at you, right, Princess Jaina!"
Not far away, Kobe's youngest daughter, who was still chatting with Su Zhen, said proudly: "Yes, Lynn is here to see me!"
"Call uncle!"
Lin Shaojie corrected: "Why hasn't this child been seen for a while, and he is rude again!"
Jaina called "Uncle Lynn," laughing like a flower.
Although Kobe put a lot of energy into teaching his children Chinese, but of the two children, Gianna is obviously more talented in languages. She speaks Chinese well and can speak some basic vocabulary.
The eldest daughter Natalia is much worse, perhaps because of her age, she missed the best language period!
Several women (girls) took their children to another room, and only Kobe and Lin Shaojie were left in the spacious ward.
The hustle and bustle outside the hospital and the reporters who wanted to visit were separated by the curtains. Lin Shaojie wanted to find a fruit knife to peel Kobe's apples, and the patient still needed more vitamin supplements.
But Kobe has no apples here.
"I've said it all, I told you to put it down, now you sent the team to the playoffs, and you belched yourself, are you happy?"
Lin Shaojie didn't wait for Kobe to speak, and said on his own.
"Look at your opponent is the Spurs, you think without you, Greg (Popovich) will be afraid of a toothless tiger, you are just a round trip, such a game is meaningless, enter the playoffs What's the difference between not making the playoffs."
"Lynn, I always feel that you are becoming a little utilitarian now!"
Kobe sat up from the bed and said in disbelief: "A team can enter the playoffs or not, those are two different situations! As long as I play, I will definitely go all out!"
"I'm not denying everything you've done, but there's more to this world than basketball!"
Lin Shaojie turned around and said to Kobe, "Are you willing to work hard, continue to fight in isolation, and then face a precipitous decline in your career?"
"I can!"
Kobe said with certainty.
"You won't, will you? Why do I feel that we are not the same way."
"No, I will too!"
Lin Shaojie replied in the affirmative.
"But that's after the evaluation, such as the finals, and an insignificant game, of course I wouldn't do it, but you're doing it now. When facing the Rockets, you actually want to play the full game. Everyone, I think it's time for you to drink something to replenish your brain."
"Fuck, I'm the smartest player in the league."
"Yes, you are the smartest, but you are a little bit worse than me. When it's time to let go, don't let go. Be brave!"
Lin Shaojie pushed the agitated Kobe back on the bed.
"If I were you, I would keep setting fire to Howard, let him work and work hard, pass him the ball, let him do his best to help the team get a place in the playoffs, and then I would play in the playoffs. , when it's time to exert force..."
Kobe's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this: "I find that you are so dark, Lynn, if you are my friend, I will be very worried."
After finishing speaking, Kobe seemed to remember something, and quickly asked: "You guys have lost a lot of games recently, are you just dealing with Danny (Granger) like this?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lin Shaojie didn't say this. Granger is a good person. At least for now, he has been trying to prove himself. Even after returning, he has not tried to challenge his position. He is a very responsible player.
Granger is a player who is both familiar and unfamiliar in the Pacers, and is hung high like a totem.
Give him full trust and reasonable playing time, even if he loses the game, it doesn't matter, as long as he is in good health and can bear it, don't be impulsive.
For Lin Shaojie, he just wanted to do one thing, let Granger gradually release his abilities.
"You've also seen that Granger can play three 10-minute games sometimes, but we still let him only stay on the court for 20 minutes. What we need is someone who has experience, willpower, and will show off in the playoffs. Player, the regular season only gradually allowed him to adapt to the game again.
But look at you, does it make sense to try your best in the most unnecessary games? "
"It's too late to say that now."
Kobe looked at the sun hanging high outside the window. The weather in California is far better than that in Polis!
Lin En arrived at this time, so he should have left early, right?
Kobe's emotional intelligence is not high. Except for the fighting spirit shown in basketball, his life is not as perfect as imagined, and he is still a scumbag.
Sometimes Vanessa doesn't even know why Lynn and Kobe can chat together. The two men can chat for so long just because of basketball?
Across the wall, two women were chatting with their children.
In Su Zhen's mouth, Lin Shaojie is an excellent boyfriend. Except for the time, he can't be 100% satisfied. As long as he has time, although the two of them will not get tired of being together, they will always be in focus.
It’s okay not to say this, Vanessa wanted to strangle Kobe to death as soon as she said it, and she didn’t know how many hats she wore outside.
Vanessa even began to wonder if everyone in Huaguo is so family-friendly, why Kobe and even other players rarely see this.
Lynn is like this, and so is the little giant.
For Vanessa's question, Su Zhen can only use the culture of Huaguo to explain, other than that, it's wrong to say too much!
On the other side of the room, Kobe has given up hope for the Lakers, so for the Pacers, he hopes to achieve good results.
After all, it has the highest winning percentage in the league, and the playoffs are in a good shape. Even the Heat, the old enemy, will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.
"I think your regular season MVP is very promising!"
Kobe said enviously: "In the first year as a rookie, he led the team to win the league's first winning percentage. As long as you can lead the team past the first round, he is yours, and no one can take it away!"
Although Lin Shaojie's scoring average is not the highest, it depends on who is in front of him. There is no guard. An Anthony scored 28.7 points per game. Durant scored 28.1 points per game. The score of 27+ is second only to these two small forwards.
Even Kobe, who is slightly behind, really plays the swingman of the forward and guard, and Lin Shaojie is thriving as a point guard.
Maybe it's not enough to prove it, but assists and steals are unrivaled, so players who are interested in this award are watching whether the Pacers can survive the first round, and even some media Having said that, even if the Pacers were defeated in the playoffs, it would not affect Lin Shaojie from winning this award.
This No. 13 rookie is really outstanding!
Not to give is not human!
Lin Shaojie also firmly believed in this point. Anyway, the domestic media has hyped up this topic as a hot topic. If he really got it, it would be a big news.
This is the reason why Lin Shaojie has several contracts that he has not signed yet.
Moreover, it is impossible for Lin Shaojie to tell Kobe that Stern and I have reached a tacit agreement. When the results are up, everyone must be fair and just, and we can't get sidetracked.
Therefore, Lin Shaojie's first priority right now is to pass the first round of the hurdle. As long as he passes, no one will be easy to criticize. Even if there are other disturbances in the future, it will not be a loss in economic benefits!
If they can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, not only will the entire Pacers benefit a lot, Lin Shaojie's personal interests will also explode!
Kobe, who knows the value of it very well, is of course envious.
Thinking of his Achilles tendon again, Kobe became more and more uncomfortable.
But in front of this rookie, he will never reveal his inner fragility in person. He is resolutely the "king of strong mouth," and will never admit defeat.
What is the reimbursement for the season, the big deal is to do it again next year.
Lin Shaojie once again scored 30+ points, bringing his scoring average to 27+. His 13 assists are also average. There is nothing to criticize. In short, these statistics are "average."
The most important thing is that the Pacers won the last game of the regular season, which is very important.
It's a pity for Pat Riley, the "magic fortune teller" who is far away in Miami.
The Heat with 65 wins and 17 losses is only one game away from the Pacers with 66 wins and 16 losses, but the first is the first.
Why is the "Black Eight Miracle" so cherished in the history of the NBA? Isn't it just that it is normal for the boss to beat the boss, and it is not easy for a younger brother to stand up.
The Pacers' victory in the last game also made their No. [-] unshakable.
Now that the final ranking of the East is out, first and second are not simply the difference in rankings, but also how the playoffs are arranged. In all aspects, the number one must occupy the advantage on paper.
Throughout March, the Pacers still had a record of 12 wins and 5 losses, making their record stable at the top of the league.
But in April, there was a sudden change in the situation. In the remaining games, the Pacers showed a weak state of follow-up.
Before the playoffs, there are only seven games remaining in the regular season, but apart from the undecided game against the 76ers, the Pacers only won two of the other six games, one against the Clippers and one against the Cavaliers.
In other games, whether facing the Thunder of the Western Youth Army, or an underdog like the Wizards, or even a team like the Nets, the Pacers give people a feeling that I can lose.
If you lose again today, you will lose Game 7.
This is far from the gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas in the first half of the season.
"First of all, we have to be clear, what is the reason for their loss? Why do they do this?"
When Pat Riley, who was sitting in a key position, started to ask questions, the others also stopped flipping through the information in front of them.
"I think the reason for the loss has little to do with Lynn. Although the current media is pointing the finger at him, we should not follow suit. The Pacers are definitely one of the most powerful teams in the playoffs.
In this game, Lynn was still able to do his job with ease and was in good condition. On the contrary, Danny Granger's performance was a little bit behind, but he was very eye-catching among the substitute players.
Judging from the current rankings, the Pacers' opponent in the first round is the Bucks, we face the Celtics, the Nets against the Bulls, the Knicks against the Eagles... If the Pacers can make it past the second round, Their opponent is either the Nets or the Bulls, and we are likely to run into the Knicks.
With the strength of the Eagles, there are still big problems in wanting to beat the Knicks..."
With the data in front of them, everyone realized that the Pacers' first win was really refreshing, and they were facing some weak teams in the playoffs.
Whether it is the Bucks in the first round, the Nets or the Bulls, these teams are not comparable to the Celtics or the Knicks.
Especially the Celtics. Although the Heat are not afraid of this dilapidated, old and old team, they can't resist their reputation and rich experience in the playoffs.
No matter what, if the opponent really fights his life, the Heat will lose one or two games.
Of course, it is impossible to lose the series. It is impossible for the Heat to lose to such an opponent, at most it is difficult.
Unlike the Bucks, the Bucks have nothing. The regular season has a winning percentage of less than [-]%, and they changed coaches halfway through. If the Heat have such an opponent, it feels like they can play with their eyes closed.
This is why the Heat tried their best to win the first place in the end. In the eastern part where the situation is becoming more and more obvious, winning the first place is conservatively estimated to be the semifinals, and they can enter the Eastern Conference finals with a little effort.
"So, our opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is likely to be the Pacers?"
someone said.
"The possibility is very high. Although the Pacers have lost a lot in the last few games, we can see through analysis that they are not just rotating the lineup.
Lynn's average playing time has also dropped from the early 10s to 25 minutes, and the playing time of key players such as Paul George and David West has also declined.
Lance Stephenson, Tyler Hansbrough and other main substitutes in their team have sufficient playing time...
Danny Granger's average playing time has also come to almost 10 minutes. He is recovering very well, averaging 14 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds per game... With his hatred for us, If we meet us in the playoffs, we will definitely spare no effort..."
"It is true that the Pacers have performed very well this season, but as a rookie, has No. 13 of the Pacers had any cruel experience in the playoffs?
Would he think that he won the opponent in the regular season and won the opponent in the playoffs?
Last year we were able to defeat them, and this year is the same. I need the players and the uniform staff to be foolproof. This year is an important moment for us to defend the title. No one is allowed to lose the chain at this moment..."
Pat Riley said noncommittally.
When the Eastern Conference regular season ended, each team in the Eastern Conference began to list their opponents one by one.
One's own opponents, potential opponents, etc. must be analyzed one by one, and even this kind of behavior begins to be prepared during the regular season.
Unlike the Heat's full confidence, the Bucks ended in a six-game losing streak in the last few games.
Although they finally squeezed into the playoffs, all the players felt infinitely exhausted. Many people in the team even said that their goal has been achieved by being able to enter the playoffs, and it is profitable to play one more game.
And in the first round of the playoffs, the opponent is none other than one of their sufferers, the Indiana Pacers. Everyone is an old opponent, and they can't be more familiar with each other.
Although some people also joked that Lynn was just a rookie and hadn't experienced the playoffs yet, if they really performed abnormally in the playoffs, would they have a chance to reproduce a "black eight!"
The player who said this was joking, but after he finished speaking, all the players, including Monta Ellis, looked at him with strange eyes.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Ellis got up and patted fellow rookie John Hansen.
This season, the Bucks selected the power forward John Hansen from North Carolina in the first round of the pick, but throughout the season, the average playing time was only 13 minutes per game, and he only got the chance to start 9 games, but he didn't. hold on.
Averaged 6 points per game, 4+ rebounds, and assists tending to zero. How can such data be used to evaluate a super rookie who dared to compete with those superstars for honors during his rookie period.
John Hansen felt that everyone looked at him strangely.
Although Monta is a latecomer, he is one of the few players in the Bucks with an annual salary of tens of millions. In the current Bucks, there are only him and Dunleavy.
Besides, he was also the big boss of the Warriors back then, but he was given up because of the newcomer's early career. It's not that his strength is not good, and he is still the big boss in the Bucks.
"We played against them, do you think as a team that almost doesn't have to worry about the playoffs, even if they lack rookies, they will lose their fighting spirit?"
"But, but recently they have also lost a lot!"
Hansen had to quibble for himself, and the veteran Mike Dunleavy patted the rookie.
"I've been with the Pacers for a while, some of them are my old acquaintances, we want to climb their mountain in the playoffs, as long as you can see it in the first game of the playoffs, it's useless to say anything now .
But... John (Hanson), as a rookie in your class and even in history, Lynn is at least a player of Rose's level. Do you think Rose will be soft in the playoffs? "
John Hansen stopped talking. Rose's injury did not affect his evaluation among players. If it weren't for the injury... well, no if, too many people want to see Rose stand up again , There are also many people who want him to kneel down.
If Lynn conservatively evaluates that they are all players like Rose, then think about the opponent's style of play. I heard that it is very healthy, and it will never destroy each other's bodies like Rose. From this point of view, the Bucks may be sad this time. up.
In China, after half a year of regular season, the NBA has finally come to an end and officially entered the playoffs. The Pacers, who won 66 wins and 16 losses, gave a satisfactory answer with the best results in the league!
Although in the last period of time, the Pacers showed a little hip stretch, but a group of fans began to analyze the form of the playoffs long before those games.
In theory, the Pacers can secure the first position as long as they win three games, but the Pacers still put the last victory on the 75ers. For many fans, it is really thrilling.
They are very afraid of being overturned by the Heat at the last moment. The second and first playoffs are completely different.
And there are too many fans who are afraid of the curse of "a tie can qualify". What they want is a quick victory, but the Pacers seem to be playing them, with various rotations, various tests, Anyway, relying on his previous winning advantage, he squandered it at will!
Lin Shaojie also tried various things. Many people couldn't understand the final game. One word, "chaos!"
Fortunately, the Pacers resisted the pressure at the last moment and won a key victory.
The game that determined the ranking made the domestic fans smile, because judging from the current situation of the first round match, the Pacers are very good on paper, far easier than the Celtics, Knicks and the like many.
Although many people know that this year's Celtics just can't do it, everyone is worried whether the former "Big Three," and today's "2+1 Giants" will regain their glory, even if Rondo is reimbursed for the season, but the Tigers The power of death is still there, and Garnett and Pierce are not good at it!
Look at the stag, it looks like the kind that is easy to bully, of course the persimmon is soft.
"Congratulations in advance to Director Lin for advancing to the first round."
On Weibo, such comments emerge endlessly. Although fans like things like Hei Ba very much, no one likes such things to happen to their own heads.
There are too many people talking, and there are always some different voices coming out, especially Lin Shaojie has offended some people, so naturally someone will help them speak out.
"Don't say it so early, who knows if it will be the same as the Rockets back then. No matter how strong the Pacers are, Lin Shaojie is just a rookie and has not experienced the cruel playoffs."
"Upstairs, what do you mean by that? Director Lin was still a rookie when he entered the national team, and he's already making a big splash in the Olympics."
"It's just a bronze medal!"
"Yo ho, it's just a bronze medal? You are worthy of saying such a thing. Go and show me a bronze medal. He led the team to win the first record in the league in his rookie year. I don't know where you have the face to say this." talk."
"I just said what's the matter, and no one is allowed to object, right?"
Fans expressed their opinions on Weibo, forums, and wherever they could speak. In most cases, they were still very optimistic about the Pacers' first round.
There are also many people who are critical, but after all, they are not in the air, and they can only express some dissenting opinions sporadically.
Lin Shaojie, who was far away in Indianapolis, returned home early with a slightly tired body.
Originally, it was better to come back later, but after the last game today, Frank waved his hand, and all the staff rested, and they will start training tomorrow.
At that moment, Lin Shaojie heard cheers, although his teammates wanted to invite Lin Shaojie to have dinner together, but Lin Shaojie said that they can go to the bar they often go to tonight, all the expenses will be on him, as for himself, he will not go.
At that moment, the teammates cheered even louder, especially Lin Shaojie said that if there are some excessive things, they cannot be counted on his account.
When hearing this, Hibbert and Paul George's eyes lit up.
What does this mean? Isn't it that Lin Shaojie acquiesced that they can go out "not taboo for meat and vegetables"!
so happy!
Lin Shaojie, who came home alone, saw that the doors and windows of the house were closed, and he knew without thinking that it must be his parents and Su Zhen who went shopping.
In March, Su Zhen, who had gone through the difficult period of the first three months, finally entered a safe period, and no longer had to worry about it as before, but Su's mother still disagreed with Su Zhen's going to watch the game at home.
Because the noise at the scene was too loud, although the family doctor Skelly said that the problem was not serious, Mother Su and Mother Lin firmly believed that it was better for the child to be quiet!
All for the sake of the child, Su Zhen could only stay at home.
In addition, the games in March and April are not as focused on victory as in the past, so it's fine if Su Zhen doesn't go.
But the last few games were really average.
After participating in the entire regular season and 82 games, Lin Shaojie felt as if he was yesterday.
Lin Shaojie stood in front of the sun room and thought for a while, then took out a guitar from the room and started to entertain himself.
The weather in April is much warmer. Although the courtyard is not full of trees, it is already full of spring scenery and luxuriant grass.
Lin Shaojie sat on the ground with no image, strumming the guitar casually in his hand, although it was just a few simple chords, it sounded very pleasant to the ears, relaxed and bright, but vaguely felt lonely.
When Su Zhen and her mother came back, they saw almost such a situation.
After Su's mother entered the hospital, she had to sigh with emotion that her son-in-law was outstanding. If she didn't know that he was a basketball player, and the scene in front of her, she would have thought it was a young literary and artistic youth on a spring outing. Looking at his appearance, It is not an exaggeration to say that Fengshen is handsome.
Handsome is really handsome, a perfect match for my daughter!
It's just the sense of loneliness brought about by the tranquility, which makes the whole person seem to want to leave this world of feasting and debauchery, it's too dusty!
Su's mother also knew that Lin Shaojie liked music, and there were a lot of treasured music at home, from equipment to books, which were all top-notch, and it was also one of Lin Shaojie's few spending items.
A young man with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars is really not short of money. I think Su Zhen’s father was so arrogant when he won the first pot of gold. Now everyone at home can see the filming in the late 80s those photos.
Afro, sunglasses, flared trousers, and "Dacron" shirts with open collars and exposed chests, flea-wrapped without hems, which are not fundamentally different from the "non-mainstream" a few years ago.
In the final analysis, the growth of wealth is too fast, and the quality has not kept up.
Looking at their own son-in-law, Lin Congrong and his wife are not even considered a middle-class family. If they were not in a beautiful country, they would be the kind of housewives who have to budget carefully when buying vegetables.
No matter how much Mother Lin loves to play with cauliflower, her hands and feet are neat, but she can't change her nature of being diligent and thrifty in housekeeping and careful planning!
It doesn't matter whether it's a petty bourgeois mentality or a small peasant mentality, this is normal, and anyone who can save a dime or two in buying a vegetable is profitable.
But two normal people gave birth to an abnormal Lin Shaojie. This is what surprised Su's mother.
When I was in London at the beginning, it could only be said that the commercial value of young people had begun to show, but had not yet been realized.
But the time to enter the NBA is not short, and those potentials are also being fulfilled one by one. In addition to salary income, other aspects of income are far more and faster than those on the court.
But Mother Su couldn't see the panic and confusion that a young man should have.
It's like a person who has never enjoyed the right, and suddenly one day has the power of life and death. Often this brings destruction and tragedy!
This must be a gradual process, but it only takes a long time. As long as Su's mother knows, Lin Shaojie's investment in other places accounts for about [-]% of his income.
It is difficult to make money, and it is not easy to spend it.
If you keep your wealth and increase it steadily, it is the result of many generations of education. Lin Shaojie seems to have learned it without a teacher, or he has experienced it.
As for the rest, some of them were taken back to China, and they went to the sports fund on the one hand and the education fund on the other. Although it was only a small amount, it was not a small amount after all.
Some time ago, Lin Shaojie also ordered a fire truck from Europe to send to the provincial capital. The designated fire brigade was near Jiangnan University, which happened to cover Jiangnan University.
I heard, just heard, but Xie Zheng and the coach were very happy. I don’t know how many times I mentioned this in school. Every time the fire alarm bell rang on the road, Lao Xie’s face seemed to be full of tears. Contradictory colors.
On the one hand, it is because the child is grown up and promising, so I can earn face for him; on the other hand, I don't want to hear such a voice, which is very contradictory!
Mother Su had seen the check written by Lin Shaojie with her own eyes. If ordinary young people had the money, they would have bought a luxury car. Who would have thought that Lin Shaojie's first car bought with money would be this one!
Apart from the Lin family, as well as Xie Zhenghe, who assisted in this matter, and related personnel knew about this matter, Lin Shaojie didn't say anything to the outside world at all.
Since then, Su's mother's view of Lin Shaojie has changed a lot.
"Mom, Auntie, you are back!"
Putting down the guitar in his hand, Lin Shaojie went up to meet him.
The community in Polis is no different from other cities in the beautiful country, but it is very different from the domestic ones.
Shopping is not convenient. You have to drive out every time. Unlike in China, even in a small county, you can shop nearby. There are always places where you can buy things near your residential area.
Of course, in some remote places with poor supervision, you will buy products such as "Rabi", "Kori-Cola" and "Mengwu" from time to time.
Usually, the Lin family would receive some similar gifts during the Chinese New Year. Lin Shaojie drank it, and the taste was not bad. It seemed that there was too much sweetener.
Now here, although those products are rare, the regular products with the brand names are not very good. Looking at the ingredient list, it is not far from the periodic table of elements. The main reason is that it is legal here.
It belongs to the standard "fast food" food, which is very cost-effective, but as long as it has something to do with "organic" and "green", the price will rise immediately.
The ingredients for Lin Shaojie's athletes' meals were all bought with money, and many of the Lin family's ingredients were also delivered one after another.
In short, it costs a lot to eat!
Just as Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen were preparing dinner with their parents, the phone rang.
It's Pau Gasol's call.
Lin Shaojie was a little strange. The Pacers lost more than they won at the last moment, and they relied on their previous record to make waves at the last moment.
Even if Granger's pace is unstable, he can still give him a chance, even other substitute players.
And what about the Lakers?
The first half of the season was terrible, but fortunately, he worked hard in the mid-term and barely succeeded.
Even without today's game against the Rockets, the Lakers squeezed into the last train of the last playoffs with an advantage of two wins.
Regardless of the result of today's game against the Rockets, the Lakers have already secured eighth, and the Rockets have theoretically lost the possibility of entering the playoffs.
So Lin Shaojie and Kobe were still joking on the phone last night. Today’s game can be fun, there is no need to fight so hard, the playoffs are coming soon, Kobe, you also fulfilled your vow to lead the team into the playoffs!
But what did Kobe say?
"I don't care about other things, but I can't let go of the Rockets easily. They hooked up with Paul (Gasol) before, and then flirted with Howard. Can I swallow this breath?"
So seeing Gasol's phone call at this time, Lin Shaojie was a little strange.
"Paul, how are you? Did you win?"
"Sorry Lynn, I don't think I'll be able to meet you in the Finals."
Lin Shaojie heard Kobe's voice on Gasol's phone.
"The game is not over yet, but I think my season is over early."
"Old Branch?"
Lin Shaojie walked out of the kitchen with the phone in hand. Su Zhen looked at Lin Shaojie with a slightly dignified expression, and also put down the fruit plate in his hand!
"Is that what I think?"
"almost!"
Kobe on the other end of the phone endured the pain and said: "Damn, no one fouled, but my Achilles tendon..."
"You're in the hospital, right?"
"Yes!"
Lin Shaojie who hung up the phone said helplessly to Su Zhen: "I wanted to accompany you these days, but the playoffs are about to start and I don't have time, but there are some problems with Kobe."
"Is it serious?"
"Season reimbursement!"
Lin Shaojie said, "I'll go there tomorrow morning!"
"I'll accompany you!"
Lin Shaojie looked at it, then nodded: "OK!"
During dinner, Su's mother was still saying that the NBA's top players look good and earn a lot, but this injury is also frequent. A star like Kobe will be reimbursed for the season if he is injured, at least for a few months.
Lin Shaojie felt a little helpless after eating a boring dinner.
Compared with the 90s, the pace of today's NBA is significantly faster. All kinds of fancy realizations and changing rhythms of running will cause continuous wear and tear on the Achilles tendon and ligaments, and problems will definitely occur after a long time.
Plus Kobe's age, playing time and so on.
I reminded him a long time ago that now Lin Shaojie can't say he deserves it!
Early the next morning, Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen flew to Los Angeles. After landing, they rushed to the hospital and saw many reporters at the door.
Before Lin Shaojie came, the Lakers players had just left for a while. For Lin Shaojie, he traveled half a beautiful distance to see Kobe. This is a true friendship, which is completely different from those who are on Twitter or make a phone call.
Vanessa was quite helpless when she saw Kobe, who was a little loveless in the hospital bed, with her children on the side.
The appearance of Lin Shaojie improved the atmosphere in the ward.
Seeing Kobe's miserable appearance, Lin Shaojie didn't know what to say.
In order to hold the so-called fate in his own hands, whether it was back-to-back games or facing a strong enemy, Kobe tried his best at the last moment to activate the crazy mode, and even scored 47 points when facing the Blazers. But it was won in the Blazers' "Devil's Home Stadium" Rose Garden Arena!
During that time, Howard's performance in the team was very ordinary, because all the limelight was taken away by Kobe, so when interviewing reporters, he would always inadvertently criticize someone for being too independent and not giving him the ball.
But did Kobe care about it?
No, the conflict between the two of them is almost obvious, and Kubchak even wants to be a peacemaker.
Kobe doesn't plan to work with a guy who doesn't re-sign, and he's on fire right now, even without Howard.
But now!
Kobe no longer has the "glory years" of the past, but only endless loneliness.
He is already at this age, and he wanted to be brilliant again under the "F4" of the new era, but this serious injury almost ruined his career.
Even though he acted like a tough man in front of the reporters, Kobe was as fragile as a child in the ward full of medical equipment!
child?
Lin Shaojie's appearance of wanting to laugh but not wanting to laugh is very annoying.
"What are you doing here?"
"Me? Of course I'm here to see Jaina, I'm not looking at you, right, Princess Jaina!"
Not far away, Kobe's youngest daughter, who was still chatting with Su Zhen, said proudly: "Yes, Lynn is here to see me!"
"Call uncle!"
Lin Shaojie corrected: "Why hasn't this child been seen for a while, and he is rude again!"
Jaina called "Uncle Lynn," laughing like a flower.
Although Kobe put a lot of energy into teaching his children Chinese, but of the two children, Gianna is obviously more talented in languages. She speaks Chinese well and can speak some basic vocabulary.
The eldest daughter Natalia is much worse, perhaps because of her age, she missed the best language period!
Several women (girls) took their children to another room, and only Kobe and Lin Shaojie were left in the spacious ward.
The hustle and bustle outside the hospital and the reporters who wanted to visit were separated by the curtains. Lin Shaojie wanted to find a fruit knife to peel Kobe's apples, and the patient still needed more vitamin supplements.
But Kobe has no apples here.
"I've said it all, I told you to put it down, now you sent the team to the playoffs, and you belched yourself, are you happy?"
Lin Shaojie didn't wait for Kobe to speak, and said on his own.
"Look at your opponent is the Spurs, you think without you, Greg (Popovich) will be afraid of a toothless tiger, you are just a round trip, such a game is meaningless, enter the playoffs What's the difference between not making the playoffs."
"Lynn, I always feel that you are becoming a little utilitarian now!"
Kobe sat up from the bed and said in disbelief: "A team can enter the playoffs or not, those are two different situations! As long as I play, I will definitely go all out!"
"I'm not denying everything you've done, but there's more to this world than basketball!"
Lin Shaojie turned around and said to Kobe, "Are you willing to work hard, continue to fight in isolation, and then face a precipitous decline in your career?"
"I can!"
Kobe said with certainty.
"You won't, will you? Why do I feel that we are not the same way."
"No, I will too!"
Lin Shaojie replied in the affirmative.
"But that's after the evaluation, such as the finals, and an insignificant game, of course I wouldn't do it, but you're doing it now. When facing the Rockets, you actually want to play the full game. Everyone, I think it's time for you to drink something to replenish your brain."
"Fuck, I'm the smartest player in the league."
"Yes, you are the smartest, but you are a little bit worse than me. When it's time to let go, don't let go. Be brave!"
Lin Shaojie pushed the agitated Kobe back on the bed.
"If I were you, I would keep setting fire to Howard, let him work and work hard, pass him the ball, let him do his best to help the team get a place in the playoffs, and then I would play in the playoffs. , when it's time to exert force..."
Kobe's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this: "I find that you are so dark, Lynn, if you are my friend, I will be very worried."
After finishing speaking, Kobe seemed to remember something, and quickly asked: "You guys have lost a lot of games recently, are you just dealing with Danny (Granger) like this?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lin Shaojie didn't say this. Granger is a good person. At least for now, he has been trying to prove himself. Even after returning, he has not tried to challenge his position. He is a very responsible player.
Granger is a player who is both familiar and unfamiliar in the Pacers, and is hung high like a totem.
Give him full trust and reasonable playing time, even if he loses the game, it doesn't matter, as long as he is in good health and can bear it, don't be impulsive.
For Lin Shaojie, he just wanted to do one thing, let Granger gradually release his abilities.
"You've also seen that Granger can play three 10-minute games sometimes, but we still let him only stay on the court for 20 minutes. What we need is someone who has experience, willpower, and will show off in the playoffs. Player, the regular season only gradually allowed him to adapt to the game again.
But look at you, does it make sense to try your best in the most unnecessary games? "
"It's too late to say that now."
Kobe looked at the sun hanging high outside the window. The weather in California is far better than that in Polis!
Lin En arrived at this time, so he should have left early, right?
Kobe's emotional intelligence is not high. Except for the fighting spirit shown in basketball, his life is not as perfect as imagined, and he is still a scumbag.
Sometimes Vanessa doesn't even know why Lynn and Kobe can chat together. The two men can chat for so long just because of basketball?
Across the wall, two women were chatting with their children.
In Su Zhen's mouth, Lin Shaojie is an excellent boyfriend. Except for the time, he can't be 100% satisfied. As long as he has time, although the two of them will not get tired of being together, they will always be in focus.
It’s okay not to say this, Vanessa wanted to strangle Kobe to death as soon as she said it, and she didn’t know how many hats she wore outside.
Vanessa even began to wonder if everyone in Huaguo is so family-friendly, why Kobe and even other players rarely see this.
Lynn is like this, and so is the little giant.
For Vanessa's question, Su Zhen can only use the culture of Huaguo to explain, other than that, it's wrong to say too much!
On the other side of the room, Kobe has given up hope for the Lakers, so for the Pacers, he hopes to achieve good results.
After all, it has the highest winning percentage in the league, and the playoffs are in a good shape. Even the Heat, the old enemy, will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.
"I think your regular season MVP is very promising!"
Kobe said enviously: "In the first year as a rookie, he led the team to win the league's first winning percentage. As long as you can lead the team past the first round, he is yours, and no one can take it away!"
Although Lin Shaojie's scoring average is not the highest, it depends on who is in front of him. There is no guard. An Anthony scored 28.7 points per game. Durant scored 28.1 points per game. The score of 27+ is second only to these two small forwards.
Even Kobe, who is slightly behind, really plays the swingman of the forward and guard, and Lin Shaojie is thriving as a point guard.
Maybe it's not enough to prove it, but assists and steals are unrivaled, so players who are interested in this award are watching whether the Pacers can survive the first round, and even some media Having said that, even if the Pacers were defeated in the playoffs, it would not affect Lin Shaojie from winning this award.
This No. 13 rookie is really outstanding!
Not to give is not human!
Lin Shaojie also firmly believed in this point. Anyway, the domestic media has hyped up this topic as a hot topic. If he really got it, it would be a big news.
This is the reason why Lin Shaojie has several contracts that he has not signed yet.
Moreover, it is impossible for Lin Shaojie to tell Kobe that Stern and I have reached a tacit agreement. When the results are up, everyone must be fair and just, and we can't get sidetracked.
Therefore, Lin Shaojie's first priority right now is to pass the first round of the hurdle. As long as he passes, no one will be easy to criticize. Even if there are other disturbances in the future, it will not be a loss in economic benefits!
If they can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, not only will the entire Pacers benefit a lot, Lin Shaojie's personal interests will also explode!
Kobe, who knows the value of it very well, is of course envious.
Thinking of his Achilles tendon again, Kobe became more and more uncomfortable.
But in front of this rookie, he will never reveal his inner fragility in person. He is resolutely the "king of strong mouth," and will never admit defeat.
What is the reimbursement for the season, the big deal is to do it again next year.
