My basketball vision is different
Chapter 145 Seeing the Free Throw Line Again
On November 11, the NBA officially announced the Player of the Week.
The best player in the Western Conference was won by Harden of the airborne Rockets. The former Thunder's best sixth man, after coming to the Rocket City, scored the highest average of 35.3 points in the league and led the Rockets to two wins and one win. negative performance.
In the first game, the rocket's engine handed over 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. He led the team to defeat the Pistons. A new high of 45 points.
As for the game lost to the Trail Blazers, it was also because of Harden's ankle injury that he only scored 24 points, and finally lost the final game in overtime.
His first performance is second only to Larry Bird, Jordan, and the fourth player after Wade.
And Harden's rapid take-off in the Rockets also made Linsanity's position slightly awkward.
The "Harlem" combination originally determined by the Rockets was shattered, because both of them needed the ball. Harden's extraordinary performance made Lin crazy unable to get up.
In the latest promotional images, Linsanity’s position has almost disappeared, and the slogans have become “Beard Crazy”, “Houston we have beards,” and “Here comes the beards.”
Lin Crazy, who earned 500 million in three years, instantly became synonymous with parallel imports, and experts and fans questioned it one after another.
In the East, LeBron James, who thought he was the best in the first week, was "bad news." The league's No. The best actually became the No. 1 rookie of the Pacers.
Is this "I only hear newcomers laughing, but don't hear old ones cry"?
Or Stern "Papa" doesn't love LeBron anymore.
Thinking of the importance Nike attaches to newcomers, LeBron even has the feeling of becoming an "abandoned child". The feeling that the "abandoned young man" is about to rise makes LeBron feel angry and have nowhere to vent.
But in the face of a rookie who scored 51 points on the Spurs, even in front of reporters, LeBron still had to maintain an elegant smile and affirmation.
"I know Lynn, he performed very well in the Olympics, he beat us by a 'billion point', and now he has won the best player in the first week as a third pick, congratulations to him, and look forward to our next meeting.
...Of course...I am happy to exchange contact information with him, if he has any questions, he can ask me for advice, and I will answer..."
Although LeBron and Lin Shaojie are not very familiar, but in front of the media, LeBron's performance is definitely qualified.
As a "senior," he showed a warm welcome to Lin Shaojie, and encouraged the "junior" to make persistent efforts and achieve better results. His performance was impeccable, just like a Mr. Perfect.
LeBron, who didn't win the best of the Eastern Conference week, then got the No.1 position in ESPN's player list, with a score of 9.99, which is only a little short of a full score of 10.
Mark Stein, the expert who deducted 0.01 from him, believes that James is still a little bit closer to perfection. He hopes that the points he deducted will give James more motivation and strive to win another championship this year.
Although James didn't get a full score, he still recognized this result in the end. After all, he is already the number one in the league, so he must have the cultivation of the number one.
In this list, even though Lin Shaojie scored 51 points that shocked the league, he still only scored 8 points.
Although this evaluation has already occupied the forefront of this year's rookies, it still attracts many people's doubts.
Because of this year's No. 8.2 pick, Anthony Davis, nicknamed Thick Eyebrows, actually got an 8 rating, surpassing Lin Shaojie's [-]-point rating.
The explanation given by ESPN is that Lin Shaojie has released his potential in advance, but Anthony Davis is still in its infancy. In the future, the upper limit will determine that Anthony Davis will definitely surpass Lin Shaojie.
This is not the view of one expert, but the view of many experts.
"If a rookie player leads the team to defeat the Spurs and only gets an evaluation of 8 points, then a player like me who scored 8.5 points doesn't know how to prove himself."
Tony Parker, who is also an international player, stood up and spoke. After Lin Shaojie led his team to defeat the Spurs, belittling Lin Shaojie is belittling the Spurs. Parker, who already has a good impression of Lin Shaojie, has no such concerns.
O'Neill, who was originally the top Lin Shaojie, didn't say anything. After all, he is now eating the media's food, and he has to consider his own interests.
Personal preferences always have to be put aside a little bit before interests.
After Parker, former No.1 Kobe Bryant also stood up and spoke out, and what he said was very interesting.
"I don't think it's useless to say more. Lynn's 8 points is not low, but it's just that many people follow the past practice. When other players face Lynn, they know this so-called '8' What kind of power is it, don't blame me for not reminding you, that kid is very cool."
......
When the Pacers arrived in Atlanta the next day, this time TNT broadcast the game again.
Charles Barkley, as the guest commentator of this game, once again sat in the commentary booth.
Before the start of the game, because of the best players in the East and West recently, everyone expressed their opinions one after another. As ESPN's old opponent, TNT certainly took a mocking tone.
Barkley's big mouth spared no effort.
"If I had to vote for the best player in the first four rounds of the league, I would definitely vote for Lynn, which is why I'm sitting here, since I commented on a Lynn game with Shaquille, I'm very optimistic about this kid, he is a real tough guy, not a sissy."
"Is it because he put Cousins on the ground?"
"Cousins was voted a tough guy by many fans before, but compared to Lynn, I don't think he is as tough as Lynn."
Barkley spread his hands and said indifferently.
"And that score, you can think of a player who scored 51 points on the head of the Spurs, but ESPN only gave it 9.99 points, [-] points? LeBron scored [-] points, just a little bit short of a full score , The last player who was selected in this way was Michael (Jordan), do they think that LeBron, who won a championship, can be tied with Jordan?"
Barkley doesn't like LeBron very much, because that guy has been constantly challenging the status of other players since he entered the league. All the statistics are very impressive, and he even keeps touching Jordan. Everyone can see it.
"I never wanted to compare anyone with Michael Jordan. He has a nearly perfect body. Although James is as fast and jumps as high as Jordan, after Jordan, only Kobe is the closest to him. If LeBron wins Next three or four championships, I will take him into consideration."
Barkley felt that what he said was too harsh, and he added a sentence.
"Of course, in today's league, LeBron is still unique. After all, Kobe's template is Michael, but LeBron does not have such a template."
"And Lynn?"
Charlie, the host sitting on the other side, asked.
"Lynn? I saw not only his toughness, but also his scoring ability and defensive ability. Some people said that he looked like Kidd who turned on the offensive switch. I also felt a bit like him. After all, his passing, defensive ability They were all very good, but after watching the last game against the Spurs, I think even if Kidd turned on the offensive switch, he would not be able to score 51 points on the Spurs."
Having said that, Barkley expressed great interest.
"If you only look at the first two quarters of the Pacers-Spurs game, Lynn's performance is definitely a rookie player on the qualifying line, able to dribble, pass, and score at the same time.
But in the third quarter, he turned on the killing mode, and scored 29 points in a single quarter, most of which were two points. Among the active players, I only saw Durant show such a level. I even thought that , Lynn is the shorter version of Durant. "
Barkley said with emotion, waving his hand again.
"But in the fourth quarter, Lynn changed his style of play again. It is very classic. Except for Kobe, I have never seen other guards with such a mature back. For a moment, I even saw the shadow of Michael. I think Michael That's right, that guy must have watched a lot of his videos."
After speaking, Barkley burst out laughing.
"You know, Michael told me about that guy when he called me. If there is a chance, he would like to guide that guy's post-up technique. Michael really hopes that there will be more successors of him in the league."
The host Charlie answered casually: "Then, does Michael regret that he missed such a rookie?"
"Can I say he regretted it?"
Barkley has no scruples in front of his best friend.
"Michael, as we all know, was successful as a player but obviously not as an owner, and while he probably wasn't happy about it, I still have to be honest, I feel like he's cursed.
But Michael has already made it clear that he will give him his private phone number the next time he meets the No. 13 No. [-] pick, and he doesn't expect a call from that little guy. "
Watching the players on the scene complete their warm-up, Barkley said hastily.
"The game has officially started. Let's see that little guy's game. I'm looking forward to it more and more."
In the National Agricultural Arena, the Pacers' starting lineup for this game is still the unshakable core five.
Lin Shaojie, George Hill, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert.
The audience has already become familiar with such a mature lineup.
Danny Granger, the guy who was supposed to occupy the core C position, just surrendered to others because of his injury and recuperating at home. Many domestic fans who just started watching football didn't even know that there was such a player in the Pacers. The boss who joined the team.
As for the Eagles, Teague, Korver, Josh Smith, Horford, Pachulia.
Number one with the ball is Teague.
When jumping the ball, the Eagles sent Josh Smith. Facing Roy Hibbert, how could Josh, a jumper, compete with the talented Hibbert.
Sure enough, Hibbert overwhelmed Josh Smith, and Lin Shaojie took the ball easily. Teague wanted to take the opportunity to fight back, but Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball lightly behind his back.
Hibbert, who successfully jumped the ball, glanced at Lynn. He has been in pain and happiness these two days.
The pain in his heart was because he lost face and was scolded miserably by Lin Shaojie in the team; but the joy was that he helped Lin Shaojie carry the bag when he got off the plane, even if this scene was photographed by the reporter, he felt nothing .
Because before playing, Lin Shaojie patted his (leather) ass to encourage him.
Lin Shaojie seems to have learned the trick of giving a sweet date with a stick.
The most important thing is that Hibbert seems to have the attribute of shaking M. Lynn abused me thousands of times, and I treated him like first love.
The small act of carrying the bag made Hibbert even feel a little flattered. Right now, when he is playing, all he needs is a look from the opponent, and his whole body seems to be full of strength.
Seeing that the No. 13 rookie of the Pacers on the opposite side avoided his steal and held the ball calmly, Teague, who was facing him, became careful.
Before the game, head coach Larry Drew specifically warned that the other Pacers players are familiar to everyone, but this one is relatively unfamiliar.
But at the same time that he is unfamiliar, this one often appears in the media reports. From time to time, he can see some top ten goals, lace news and so on. He is absolutely popular in the league.
As a coach, Larry Drew certainly doesn't look at people through colored glasses like players do because of conflicts of interest.
So say that to everyone before the game.
"Don't let that kid take the rhythm. Whether it's his personal offense or the team's offense, we are in charge of our home court. Don't follow the opponent's rhythm. It will make us taste the taste of failure."
As the No. 51 player of the team, Teague knows very well what the consequences will be if the opponent masters the rhythm. After all, this is a rookie who can score [-] points, and Teague also wants to try the opponent's level.
After all, in the alliance, one thing is one thing.
Just like Deron and Paul, Little Giant and Howard, there are too many such happy friends. Teague also wants to be called a "Lynn Killer". It is a very interesting thing to think about it.
But when Lin Shaojie was facing Teague, he suddenly passed the ball to Hill, and Lin Shaojie, who was running without the ball, instantly got rid of Teague's defense.
"So fast!"
Teague subconsciously realized that when he wanted to chase again, Lin Shaojie, who ran into the three-point line, had already received Hill's return pass. He didn't even use the pick-and-roll, and the Eagles' defense was missing.
This is the simplest two over one cooperation!
After receiving the basketball, Lin Shaojie jumped up high and straightened his back. At this moment, he fully demonstrated his ability to stay in the air in front of the audience of the National Agricultural Arena.
The new Eagle King Josh Smith, who was defending him, couldn't stop him at all. He obviously jumped at the same time and wanted to interfere, but in terms of the height of the jump and the ability to stay in the air, Josh was inferior to Lin Shaojie.
Lin Shaojie, who was slightly sideways to avoid the opponent's block, took advantage of the body to stay in the air, and the left wrist holding the ball sank, then swung round in the air, and hit the basket from the other side.
"Bang!"
There were high waves on the net, and the entire basket made a muffled sound as if it had been hit.
Lin Shaojie's quick dunk has a thunderous momentum. Lin Shaojie, who showed a fiery state at the beginning of the game, reminds people of the monster who scored 29 points in a single quarter.
"It's so cool!"
Barkley said excitedly.
"The Eagles never expected that after the opening, Lin Shaojie didn't give the opponent time to react. Their defense was too lax. Facing a rookie who scored explosively, they actually gave up a gorgeous channel, except for Josh's supplementary defense. , Horford and Pachulia on the inside didn't have time to react, Lynn's movements were too fast, and the two sides didn't seem to be on the same channel."
Lin Shaojie, who yanked hard from the basket, let go and fell down, high-fiving Hibbert.
"Very good, you blocked both of them by yourself."
Hibbert, who was praised, was happy like the second idiot of a landlord's family, only knowing silly music, Pachulia and the two felt strange, we were just careless, that guy can stop the two of us?
Hibbert was heartless, he knew he was doing well, he was being praised, and that was enough.
Off the court, Frank shook his fist vigorously. He seldom interfered in the locker room affairs, but so far, Lin Shaojie has done a good job. There should be many objections to his sudden rise to the rookie, but with the Victory after victory, everyone knows that the Pacers at this time want to continue on this road to victory, and they can't do without the No. 13 pick.
With the sound of the horn of victory, all the people changed their views on facing rookies.
Hibbert, the guy who won the Pacers' biggest contract this year, can take the initiative to admit defeat and follow Lin Shaojie, which plays a vital role in maintaining the unity of the team.
After all, apart from him, only David West can easily score in the interior, but David cannot stay in the interior for a long time.
For a long time, there was only Hibbert, and the substitute Ian Mahinmi was not enough to carry the heavy burden inside.
Lin Shaojie blew the horn of war with a clean dunk. The Eagles counterattacked quickly. When the Pacers retreated, Josh took the ball and rushed in after halftime.
Hibbert, who was full of confidence, actually gave the opponent a big hat in the paint.
Hibbert, who successfully defended the ball, stood under the basket and roared to the sky.
"Paul, are you missing someone?"
Lin Shaojie patted Paul George on the shoulder, then whispered.
When he was defending Teague, Paul actually let people break into the penalty area directly. If Hibbert hadn't played well, the Eagles would have returned an AnswerBall.
"Stay close to that guy, follow him as soon as he crosses half court, you can get a lot of defensive experience from him!"
Paul George nodded, as if Granger had responded exactly when he had spoken to him.
Paul wouldn't talk to him if it was someone else, but who is Lin Shaojie?
This guy punched Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked Beihai Kindergarten.
From Pekovic to Cousins, they were all beaten by him. In the last round, he scored 51 points on the Spurs.
Such a young guy not only has strong combat effectiveness, but also has a mature mentality, especially the one he did in the locker room yesterday, no one will treat him as a rookie anymore.
Standing in front of a seven-foot man like Hibbert, Lin Shaojie was able to lean against the closet door and dare not resist, but Paul George thought he couldn't do it.
Thinking about it afterwards, Paul felt a little magical, that kid was really courageous.
When he walked out of Atlanta's airport today, Hibbert took the initiative to carry his bag and took Lance's job. Do you see anyone in the team questioning it?
It seems like everyone takes it for granted.
The guy with the highest annual salary carries the bag for a rookie?
It's like I've never heard of such a thing.
When the Eagles made a difficult throw-in, Josh found that his offense was blocked.
After trading the Eagles King Joe Johnson, the Eagles have made it clear that they want to support Josh Smith.
But facing Paul George, who was still a rookie, Josh suddenly found that this kid was also difficult to deal with.
According to the media, there are two outside defenders in the Pacers team, one is Paul George and the other is Lynn.
According to the known interviews, all the teams that have played against the Pacers think that Lynn is a difficult guy, not only his defense, but also his trash talk, which can stir the heartstrings of the players, and it is easy to make people feel uncomfortable. Mental imbalance.
Some said Lynn was "the devil," while others said he was "a racist."
No matter how watery these comments are, no matter whether these comments are good or bad, all opponents only show one meaning, that is, the Pacers' No. 13 rookie is very difficult to mess with.
When rookies need to rely on defense to seize playing time, this guy is like entering the novice village with a full-scale tuba.
The boss hasn't played yet, but the "second" under him has already made Josh feel difficult.
Paul's physical talent, from static to dynamic, is top-notch in the league, and Josh, a veteran, knows it all too well.
Look at the team's No. [-] Teague. Under Lin Shaojie's defense, this organization can't even touch the ball.
One thing that the Pacers can rest assured about Lin Shaojie is that anyone Lin Shaojie says to mark will not perform well.
Especially facing some opponents who are not as tall as Lin Shaojie, it is almost a disaster for the opponent.
What he is best at is to use his strengths to bully others, without any scruples at all.
Relying on his height and wingspan advantage, he can always make those "little guys" suffer.
But when encountering a defender who is taller than him, he can immediately switch the battle mode, using strength, speed, and a "friendly" and "enthusiasm" attitude to influence the opponent until the opponent surrenders.
Josh, who was blocked once, didn't dare to go in again this time. Seeing that he couldn't break through Paul's defense, the new Eagle King had to drop the ball to Pachulia inside, hoping that he, a big man, would settle the battle inside.
After all, Hibbert is what everyone calls a "soft guy," anyone can bully him.
But Pachulia didn't expect that when he caught the ball, Hibbert would use his hardness to constantly touch himself.
Hibbert, who was "fired" by Lin Shaojie, did not hesitate to show his tough side to his opponents.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Pachulia turned around and was about to shoot a jumper.
"careful!"
Josh saw Lin Shaojie, who was defending Teague, suddenly let go of his defensive target. His defense seemed to be able to switch at any time at that moment, knowing who was the real last attacker.
Pachulia's size makes him awkward against defenders.
Lin Shaojie, who was extremely agile, cut off just when Pachulia was about to raise his hand. At that moment, Josh, who was standing not far away, could see clearly.
There was still half a step away, but No. 13 swung his long arm over, and there was a loud "bang" when hitting the ball, and Pachulia, who was holding the ball with both hands, couldn't hold it at all.
"Back the ball!"
Barkley said in surprise.
"Look, this guy's sense of smell is too keen, he let go of Teague immediately, and when Hibbert held Pachulia, he completed a beautiful steal in the paint."
The Eagles, who switched offense and defense, retreated very quickly. They showed great athletic talent. Josh, the new Eagle king, ran to the backcourt when he felt bad at the first time, so as not to make the defense look defenseless. The position of the enemy is placed before the enemy.
Looking up at Lin Shaojie in the distance, only the basket is in his eyes.
Lin Shaojie, who did not slow down while running, was about to bump into Josh Smith, but at the moment of touching, Josh, who closed his eyes, only felt a gust of wind blowing across his face. when.
"What about people?"
Josh turned his head, only to see No. 13 showing his back, stepping on the free throw line and leaping high.
"That is......"
In the eyes of the audience and even Barkley, they saw Lin Shaojie, who was rushing forward, facing Josh Smith, who was beyond the three-point line, and turned around. At that moment, it was like pressing the accelerator button. Josh did not respond at all, subconsciously Reaching out just grabbed the air.
To be able to turn around and pass others so stably at high speeds requires too much core strength and a sense of balance.
Lin Shaojie, who made a complete 360-degree turn, had no intention of slowing down at all. After a quick sprint, he stepped on the distance of half the sole of his foot in front of the free throw line and soared into the air.
It's a pretty standard, no-suspect free-throw line jump...slam dunk.
Lin Shaojie, who was flying in the air, had a relaxed posture, and his masked expression was flat, not the kind of hideous look, as if it was a very simple dunk.
The bent calves and the long arms leaned back make the whole body fold up into a reverse "C" shape.
When the whole figure seemed to fly over the long distance of the "Nile River" and began to fall, Lin Shaojie's right hand holding the ball slammed into the basket heavily.
"He... is so strong!"
In actual combat, Lin Shaojie, who perfectly demonstrated his talent by jumping from the free throw line and dunking, told everyone in front of the audience in the beautiful country that he, a man of yellow race, can also jump and dunk from the free throw line.
And it buckles beautifully.
He landed a little staggeringly, and after standing still, Lin Shaojie, who took off his mask, pointed to his eyes with his index finger and middle finger, then pointed at the camera in front of him, and tapped lightly.
Everyone knew that it was a gift he was giving to the audience and fans in front of the TV.
Just because it's an away game.
But soon, the audience burst into applause. The Pacers, who started 4-0, relied on Lin Shaojie's free throw line for a dunk.
In the studio, Barkley was lying on a chair in what appeared to be a heart attack.
"I feel like I can't breathe. Facing Lynn like this, it is too difficult for the Eagles to defeat their opponents. At this time, I thought of a sentence."
Barkley seemed to be very difficult to say.
"All of us knew that he was going to execute the last attack, but we just couldn't defend. Don't the Eagles know that Lynn is the core, brain, and engine of the Pacers? How dare they defend the opponent with such a relaxed attitude? It's time to lose!"
Throughout most of the first quarter, the Eagles seemed to be under the influence of the head, unable to organize an effective offense at all. Their Teague seemed to be unable to hold the ball for a moment. On the contrary, Josh, who had the most balls, He was also doing useless work under the close protection of Paul, relying on his own personal ability to score with difficulty.
Hibbert showed his top talent in the interior, but Pachulia couldn't hold the opponent, and the rebound fell into the hands of the Pacers.
Coach Larry Drew called two timeouts one after another, but none of them could save the Eagles from facing the Pacers at home.
"My God, will the Pacers win the first five games in this way?"
The Pacers' crushing of the Hawks' main force did not come to an end until the second half of the first quarter when the two sides came off the bench.
At that time, the score had reached 24 to 10 points, and the Pacers led their opponents by 14 points before the main players left the court in the first quarter.
The best player in the Western Conference was won by Harden of the airborne Rockets. The former Thunder's best sixth man, after coming to the Rocket City, scored the highest average of 35.3 points in the league and led the Rockets to two wins and one win. negative performance.
In the first game, the rocket's engine handed over 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. He led the team to defeat the Pistons. A new high of 45 points.
As for the game lost to the Trail Blazers, it was also because of Harden's ankle injury that he only scored 24 points, and finally lost the final game in overtime.
His first performance is second only to Larry Bird, Jordan, and the fourth player after Wade.
And Harden's rapid take-off in the Rockets also made Linsanity's position slightly awkward.
The "Harlem" combination originally determined by the Rockets was shattered, because both of them needed the ball. Harden's extraordinary performance made Lin crazy unable to get up.

When the Pacers arrived in Atlanta the next day, this time TNT broadcast the game again.

"But in the fourth quarter, Lynn changed his style of play again. It is very classic. Except for Kobe, I have never seen other guards with such a mature back. For a moment, I even saw the shadow of Michael. I think Michael That's right, that guy must have watched a lot of his videos."
After speaking, Barkley burst out laughing.
"You know, Michael told me about that guy when he called me. If there is a chance, he would like to guide that guy's post-up technique. Michael really hopes that there will be more successors of him in the league."
The host Charlie answered casually: "Then, does Michael regret that he missed such a rookie?"
"Can I say he regretted it?"
Barkley has no scruples in front of his best friend.
"Michael, as we all know, was successful as a player but obviously not as an owner, and while he probably wasn't happy about it, I still have to be honest, I feel like he's cursed.
But Michael has already made it clear that he will give him his private phone number the next time he meets the No. 13 No. [-] pick, and he doesn't expect a call from that little guy. "
Watching the players on the scene complete their warm-up, Barkley said hastily.
"The game has officially started. Let's see that little guy's game. I'm looking forward to it more and more."
In the National Agricultural Arena, the Pacers' starting lineup for this game is still the unshakable core five.
Lin Shaojie, George Hill, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert.
The audience has already become familiar with such a mature lineup.
Danny Granger, the guy who was supposed to occupy the core C position, just surrendered to others because of his injury and recuperating at home. Many domestic fans who just started watching football didn't even know that there was such a player in the Pacers. The boss who joined the team.
As for the Eagles, Teague, Korver, Josh Smith, Horford, Pachulia.
Number one with the ball is Teague.
When jumping the ball, the Eagles sent Josh Smith. Facing Roy Hibbert, how could Josh, a jumper, compete with the talented Hibbert.
Sure enough, Hibbert overwhelmed Josh Smith, and Lin Shaojie took the ball easily. Teague wanted to take the opportunity to fight back, but Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball lightly behind his back.
Hibbert, who successfully jumped the ball, glanced at Lynn. He has been in pain and happiness these two days.
The pain in his heart was because he lost face and was scolded miserably by Lin Shaojie in the team; but the joy was that he helped Lin Shaojie carry the bag when he got off the plane, even if this scene was photographed by the reporter, he felt nothing .
Because before playing, Lin Shaojie patted his (leather) ass to encourage him.
Lin Shaojie seems to have learned the trick of giving a sweet date with a stick.
The most important thing is that Hibbert seems to have the attribute of shaking M. Lynn abused me thousands of times, and I treated him like first love.
The small act of carrying the bag made Hibbert even feel a little flattered. Right now, when he is playing, all he needs is a look from the opponent, and his whole body seems to be full of strength.
Seeing that the No. 13 rookie of the Pacers on the opposite side avoided his steal and held the ball calmly, Teague, who was facing him, became careful.
Before the game, head coach Larry Drew specifically warned that the other Pacers players are familiar to everyone, but this one is relatively unfamiliar.
But at the same time that he is unfamiliar, this one often appears in the media reports. From time to time, he can see some top ten goals, lace news and so on. He is absolutely popular in the league.
As a coach, Larry Drew certainly doesn't look at people through colored glasses like players do because of conflicts of interest.
So say that to everyone before the game.
"Don't let that kid take the rhythm. Whether it's his personal offense or the team's offense, we are in charge of our home court. Don't follow the opponent's rhythm. It will make us taste the taste of failure."
As the No. 51 player of the team, Teague knows very well what the consequences will be if the opponent masters the rhythm. After all, this is a rookie who can score [-] points, and Teague also wants to try the opponent's level.
After all, in the alliance, one thing is one thing.
Just like Deron and Paul, Little Giant and Howard, there are too many such happy friends. Teague also wants to be called a "Lynn Killer". It is a very interesting thing to think about it.
But when Lin Shaojie was facing Teague, he suddenly passed the ball to Hill, and Lin Shaojie, who was running without the ball, instantly got rid of Teague's defense.
"So fast!"
Teague subconsciously realized that when he wanted to chase again, Lin Shaojie, who ran into the three-point line, had already received Hill's return pass. He didn't even use the pick-and-roll, and the Eagles' defense was missing.
This is the simplest two over one cooperation!
After receiving the basketball, Lin Shaojie jumped up high and straightened his back. At this moment, he fully demonstrated his ability to stay in the air in front of the audience of the National Agricultural Arena.
The new Eagle King Josh Smith, who was defending him, couldn't stop him at all. He obviously jumped at the same time and wanted to interfere, but in terms of the height of the jump and the ability to stay in the air, Josh was inferior to Lin Shaojie.
Lin Shaojie, who was slightly sideways to avoid the opponent's block, took advantage of the body to stay in the air, and the left wrist holding the ball sank, then swung round in the air, and hit the basket from the other side.
"Bang!"
There were high waves on the net, and the entire basket made a muffled sound as if it had been hit.
Lin Shaojie's quick dunk has a thunderous momentum. Lin Shaojie, who showed a fiery state at the beginning of the game, reminds people of the monster who scored 29 points in a single quarter.
"It's so cool!"
Barkley said excitedly.
"The Eagles never expected that after the opening, Lin Shaojie didn't give the opponent time to react. Their defense was too lax. Facing a rookie who scored explosively, they actually gave up a gorgeous channel, except for Josh's supplementary defense. , Horford and Pachulia on the inside didn't have time to react, Lynn's movements were too fast, and the two sides didn't seem to be on the same channel."
Lin Shaojie, who yanked hard from the basket, let go and fell down, high-fiving Hibbert.
"Very good, you blocked both of them by yourself."
Hibbert, who was praised, was happy like the second idiot of a landlord's family, only knowing silly music, Pachulia and the two felt strange, we were just careless, that guy can stop the two of us?
Hibbert was heartless, he knew he was doing well, he was being praised, and that was enough.
Off the court, Frank shook his fist vigorously. He seldom interfered in the locker room affairs, but so far, Lin Shaojie has done a good job. There should be many objections to his sudden rise to the rookie, but with the Victory after victory, everyone knows that the Pacers at this time want to continue on this road to victory, and they can't do without the No. 13 pick.
With the sound of the horn of victory, all the people changed their views on facing rookies.
Hibbert, the guy who won the Pacers' biggest contract this year, can take the initiative to admit defeat and follow Lin Shaojie, which plays a vital role in maintaining the unity of the team.
After all, apart from him, only David West can easily score in the interior, but David cannot stay in the interior for a long time.
For a long time, there was only Hibbert, and the substitute Ian Mahinmi was not enough to carry the heavy burden inside.
Lin Shaojie blew the horn of war with a clean dunk. The Eagles counterattacked quickly. When the Pacers retreated, Josh took the ball and rushed in after halftime.
Hibbert, who was full of confidence, actually gave the opponent a big hat in the paint.
Hibbert, who successfully defended the ball, stood under the basket and roared to the sky.
"Paul, are you missing someone?"
Lin Shaojie patted Paul George on the shoulder, then whispered.
When he was defending Teague, Paul actually let people break into the penalty area directly. If Hibbert hadn't played well, the Eagles would have returned an AnswerBall.
"Stay close to that guy, follow him as soon as he crosses half court, you can get a lot of defensive experience from him!"
Paul George nodded, as if Granger had responded exactly when he had spoken to him.
Paul wouldn't talk to him if it was someone else, but who is Lin Shaojie?
This guy punched Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked Beihai Kindergarten.
From Pekovic to Cousins, they were all beaten by him. In the last round, he scored 51 points on the Spurs.
Such a young guy not only has strong combat effectiveness, but also has a mature mentality, especially the one he did in the locker room yesterday, no one will treat him as a rookie anymore.
Standing in front of a seven-foot man like Hibbert, Lin Shaojie was able to lean against the closet door and dare not resist, but Paul George thought he couldn't do it.
Thinking about it afterwards, Paul felt a little magical, that kid was really courageous.
When he walked out of Atlanta's airport today, Hibbert took the initiative to carry his bag and took Lance's job. Do you see anyone in the team questioning it?
It seems like everyone takes it for granted.
The guy with the highest annual salary carries the bag for a rookie?
It's like I've never heard of such a thing.
When the Eagles made a difficult throw-in, Josh found that his offense was blocked.
After trading the Eagles King Joe Johnson, the Eagles have made it clear that they want to support Josh Smith.
But facing Paul George, who was still a rookie, Josh suddenly found that this kid was also difficult to deal with.
According to the media, there are two outside defenders in the Pacers team, one is Paul George and the other is Lynn.
According to the known interviews, all the teams that have played against the Pacers think that Lynn is a difficult guy, not only his defense, but also his trash talk, which can stir the heartstrings of the players, and it is easy to make people feel uncomfortable. Mental imbalance.
Some said Lynn was "the devil," while others said he was "a racist."
No matter how watery these comments are, no matter whether these comments are good or bad, all opponents only show one meaning, that is, the Pacers' No. 13 rookie is very difficult to mess with.
When rookies need to rely on defense to seize playing time, this guy is like entering the novice village with a full-scale tuba.
The boss hasn't played yet, but the "second" under him has already made Josh feel difficult.
Paul's physical talent, from static to dynamic, is top-notch in the league, and Josh, a veteran, knows it all too well.
Look at the team's No. [-] Teague. Under Lin Shaojie's defense, this organization can't even touch the ball.
One thing that the Pacers can rest assured about Lin Shaojie is that anyone Lin Shaojie says to mark will not perform well.
Especially facing some opponents who are not as tall as Lin Shaojie, it is almost a disaster for the opponent.
What he is best at is to use his strengths to bully others, without any scruples at all.
Relying on his height and wingspan advantage, he can always make those "little guys" suffer.
But when encountering a defender who is taller than him, he can immediately switch the battle mode, using strength, speed, and a "friendly" and "enthusiasm" attitude to influence the opponent until the opponent surrenders.
Josh, who was blocked once, didn't dare to go in again this time. Seeing that he couldn't break through Paul's defense, the new Eagle King had to drop the ball to Pachulia inside, hoping that he, a big man, would settle the battle inside.
After all, Hibbert is what everyone calls a "soft guy," anyone can bully him.
But Pachulia didn't expect that when he caught the ball, Hibbert would use his hardness to constantly touch himself.
Hibbert, who was "fired" by Lin Shaojie, did not hesitate to show his tough side to his opponents.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Pachulia turned around and was about to shoot a jumper.
"careful!"
Josh saw Lin Shaojie, who was defending Teague, suddenly let go of his defensive target. His defense seemed to be able to switch at any time at that moment, knowing who was the real last attacker.
Pachulia's size makes him awkward against defenders.
Lin Shaojie, who was extremely agile, cut off just when Pachulia was about to raise his hand. At that moment, Josh, who was standing not far away, could see clearly.
There was still half a step away, but No. 13 swung his long arm over, and there was a loud "bang" when hitting the ball, and Pachulia, who was holding the ball with both hands, couldn't hold it at all.
"Back the ball!"
Barkley said in surprise.
"Look, this guy's sense of smell is too keen, he let go of Teague immediately, and when Hibbert held Pachulia, he completed a beautiful steal in the paint."
The Eagles, who switched offense and defense, retreated very quickly. They showed great athletic talent. Josh, the new Eagle king, ran to the backcourt when he felt bad at the first time, so as not to make the defense look defenseless. The position of the enemy is placed before the enemy.
Looking up at Lin Shaojie in the distance, only the basket is in his eyes.
Lin Shaojie, who did not slow down while running, was about to bump into Josh Smith, but at the moment of touching, Josh, who closed his eyes, only felt a gust of wind blowing across his face. when.
"What about people?"
Josh turned his head, only to see No. 13 showing his back, stepping on the free throw line and leaping high.
"That is......"
In the eyes of the audience and even Barkley, they saw Lin Shaojie, who was rushing forward, facing Josh Smith, who was beyond the three-point line, and turned around. At that moment, it was like pressing the accelerator button. Josh did not respond at all, subconsciously Reaching out just grabbed the air.
To be able to turn around and pass others so stably at high speeds requires too much core strength and a sense of balance.
Lin Shaojie, who made a complete 360-degree turn, had no intention of slowing down at all. After a quick sprint, he stepped on the distance of half the sole of his foot in front of the free throw line and soared into the air.
It's a pretty standard, no-suspect free-throw line jump...slam dunk.
Lin Shaojie, who was flying in the air, had a relaxed posture, and his masked expression was flat, not the kind of hideous look, as if it was a very simple dunk.
The bent calves and the long arms leaned back make the whole body fold up into a reverse "C" shape.
When the whole figure seemed to fly over the long distance of the "Nile River" and began to fall, Lin Shaojie's right hand holding the ball slammed into the basket heavily.
"He... is so strong!"
In actual combat, Lin Shaojie, who perfectly demonstrated his talent by jumping from the free throw line and dunking, told everyone in front of the audience in the beautiful country that he, a man of yellow race, can also jump and dunk from the free throw line.
And it buckles beautifully.
He landed a little staggeringly, and after standing still, Lin Shaojie, who took off his mask, pointed to his eyes with his index finger and middle finger, then pointed at the camera in front of him, and tapped lightly.
Everyone knew that it was a gift he was giving to the audience and fans in front of the TV.
Just because it's an away game.
But soon, the audience burst into applause. The Pacers, who started 4-0, relied on Lin Shaojie's free throw line for a dunk.
In the studio, Barkley was lying on a chair in what appeared to be a heart attack.
"I feel like I can't breathe. Facing Lynn like this, it is too difficult for the Eagles to defeat their opponents. At this time, I thought of a sentence."
Barkley seemed to be very difficult to say.
"All of us knew that he was going to execute the last attack, but we just couldn't defend. Don't the Eagles know that Lynn is the core, brain, and engine of the Pacers? How dare they defend the opponent with such a relaxed attitude? It's time to lose!"
Throughout most of the first quarter, the Eagles seemed to be under the influence of the head, unable to organize an effective offense at all. Their Teague seemed to be unable to hold the ball for a moment. On the contrary, Josh, who had the most balls, He was also doing useless work under the close protection of Paul, relying on his own personal ability to score with difficulty.
Hibbert showed his top talent in the interior, but Pachulia couldn't hold the opponent, and the rebound fell into the hands of the Pacers.
Coach Larry Drew called two timeouts one after another, but none of them could save the Eagles from facing the Pacers at home.
"My God, will the Pacers win the first five games in this way?"
The Pacers' crushing of the Hawks' main force did not come to an end until the second half of the first quarter when the two sides came off the bench.
At that time, the score had reached 24 to 10 points, and the Pacers led their opponents by 14 points before the main players left the court in the first quarter.
