My basketball vision is different

When Lin Shaojie half-turned and shot, Parker's blocking hand had completely blocked Lin Shaojie's sight.

Parker also had no choice but to resort to the method of "covering his eyes" in order to affect Lin Shaojie's shooting rhythm.

But he never thought that a person would practice shooting with his eyes closed in his spare time.

Although Lin Shaojie, who has mastered the "Eye of Reality", cannot reach the level of "Flowers Full of Flowers", he can feel it, whether he sees it or not, whether he sees it or not, there is no difference.

After Parker blocked the shot, he came down almost holding Lin Shaojie's upper body. The two seemed to have become conjoined twins at that moment.

But the basketball flying out behind the two of them made a "swish" sound.

Parker knew that the rookie had scored again.

He shot three times in a row and was unable to stop him. Just like when he saw Durant on the court, he was so weak and powerless that the coach would not let him defend the long-armed monster.

The rookie I'm facing now is so annoying in his shooting.

The masters and apprentices who were having fun outside the court had long stopped talking.

On the court, the next five consecutive balls all entered the ball frame cleanly.

Although Parker tried his best to defend, he was like a puppet standing on the three-point line, watching Lin Shaojie shoot...pick up the ball, keep shooting...keep picking up the ball.

All the hard work he put in was in vain, and he couldn't guard against that talented monster whose height and wingspan exceeded his own, a talented monster who shot with perfect accuracy.

"Okay, that's it!"

Popovich stretched out his hand to stop him.

Lin Shaojie stopped his attack, and Parker raised his head, revealing blank eyes.

Although this is not the first blow in his life, it is the first time that a rookie has thrown himself into suicide after winning the championship and MVP.

It seems like that young man keeps telling you that you are old and it's time to retire. Now is our time.

"Boy, can you only shoot basketball?"

Popovich stepped forward and said with a frown: "Although you won, you have to know that Parker's defense is bullshit in my opinion. Can you understand?"

"No, Mr. Coach, I just showed off my shooting. If you want to see my breakthrough or passing, I can do it. Of course, this needs your approval."

Lin Shaojie looked at Popovich opposite.

"No need for now, kid!"

Popovich turned around and patted Parker.

"Tony, you go and take a rest, I have to talk to this kid."

After speaking, Popovich explained: "Although this kid is very young, it is more appropriate for me to let Manu defend him."

"I think we can give him a second-round pick because he has the ability."

Parker looked at Lin Shaojie not far away and muttered. Although he was annoying as an opponent, he should be good as a teammate. Unfortunately, he was dragged away by Ginobili who came over.

The two former fashion-chasing teenagers have reached middle age, and their handsome faces are already full of vicissitudes of life.

A loss is nothing to the two of them. When you don't know much about some rookies, it is really difficult to find a way to defend them, just like the "diaosi," and the "screw," the two "silks."

It is almost impossible to solve when you are healthy.

The Eastern boy in front of me is still far behind, but he already has that potential. Wish him good luck!

Lin Shaojie watched the figure walking away, secretly lamenting that the white man looked a little old, he was in his thirties, and he drank too little hot water.

If you don’t want to look old, you should drink enough warm wolfberry water.

Lin Shaojie has decided that even if he enters the professional arena from now on, he must take good care of his body. He has no choice in eating, so he shouldn't have to worry about drinking water too!

"Your first shot was very irrational. If you were my player, I would find a way to trade you."

Popovich watched his disciple walk off the court, and then said viciously to Lin Shaojie.

Lawrence on the side frowned when he heard this. Popovich didn't seem to be easy to talk to. He obviously had some opinions on Lin Shaojie's choice, which made the old man feel that everything was not going well during his trip to the beautiful country.

How could there be a situation of "victory but not victory" when we obviously won the battle?

Lin Shaojie, on the other hand, looked at all this with a calm mind. The matter was now over, and it was useless to say more.

What's more, Popovich is a veteran actor. It's useless to pretend to be fierce.

I saw that the old man calmed down quickly and put away his pretense of fierceness.

"But your second shot, your third shot and all the shots after that made me want to sign you with a first-round pick.

You know, young man, you are very good. Your shooting reminds me of another person, a person who keeps chasing us and putting pressure on us. You also remind me of another tactic, and you are very suitable."

As he said that, Popovich gently "hammered" Lin Shaojie's chest with his fist to show his kindness.

If a reporter takes a photo at the scene, the ignorant people will think that the Spurs coach really likes this young man!

But in fact, Popovich's perception of Lin Shaojie has not changed. This coach who looks like a villain on TV is actually such an interesting old man, so similar to his own Coach Xie in some places.

Is it just Popovich?

An old actor!

At least in Lin Shaojie's "eyes", Popovich has superb acting skills, but he doesn't like him as much as he lets on.

Lawrence didn't know why, and thought that Lin Shaojie's next family was found, and the arrogance he had felt these days disappeared instantly.

Did you know that those teams that looked down upon others before are now looking at Lin Shaojie and are the leaders in the league?

Several people gathered around and talked about something. Xie Zhenghe, who was far away and could not hear clearly, could only watch from a distance and stamped his feet anxiously.

"Get your people over here!"

After seeing Xie Zhenghe's Chinese face, Popovich said to Lawrence: "Maybe we should discuss where this child's next stop should be."

When Lawrence heard this, he smiled even more and quickly called Xie Zhenghe to come over. The latter trotted over quickly.

Popovich didn't know Xie Zhenghe, so he asked Lawrence strangely.

"Is this his agent or translator?"

Perhaps in Popovich's eyes, Xie Zhenghe's dress does not look like a coach at all.

Lawrence had made a "confession" with Xie Zhenghe a long time ago, just because he didn't want outsiders to know that Xie Zhenghe was Lin Shaojie's coach. At present, he could only complain that Xie Zhenghe also acted as a translator, but Lawrence hadn't waited for his answer.

Lin Shaojie, who was standing aside, replied fluently in bird language under Lawrence's surprised eyes.

"Sir, this is my first coach, a coach without whom I would not be standing in front of you."

Popovich was surprised by Lin Shaojie's special emphasis and remained calm.

When Xie Zhenghe, who had just walked over, heard this, he wanted to say something, but was blocked by Lin Shaojie's smile, so he had no choice but to give up.

Even if it is a white lie, it will still be exposed one day. Instead of being trembling, it is better to open up and chat.

"Hi, Bobo, I am Lin's coach. Xie is from the Chinese National League. Did he ever work in Wisconsin?"

After saying that, Xie Zhenghe added: "It's also basketball!"

Popovich thought for a long time before reacting: "Milwaukee? Are you the Chinese from the Milwaukee Bucks?"

"If there is no second Chinese in the Milwaukee Bucks, then you should be talking about me!"

Xie Zhenghe waved his hand, and Lin Shaojie felt that he didn't know much about Coach Xie. He only knew that he was very good in China, but he didn't expect that someone in the NBA would recognize him, even though this time seemed so long ago.

There was no language barrier, which made the subsequent chat between the few people undoubtedly smoother. Xie Zheng's work experience in the NBA also meant that he was not excluded from the circle.

Popovich doesn't have to worry about whether the meaning of his words has changed after being paraphrased.

"Your long-distance shooting is very stable and excellent. Of course, this is based on your current touch. You should thank God for beating Parker."

Popovich expressed his appreciation: "But on the court, no one will let you shoot so easily. Parker did not put any pressure on you defensively."

"I know."

Lin Shaojie admitted honestly.

"No, you don't know. They will use various methods. One person can't do it with two people, and they will even double-team you. When you feel hot, they will interrupt your feeling at all costs."

Popovich gestured and pointed at Lin Shaojie.

"Your body is still a little thin, and you need to increase confrontation. You can't treat your opponents as your opponents in China, they are too weak.

No NBA team lacks first-class offensive players, but they all lack a 3D player with both offense and defense. As a newcomer, you also have a stable mid-range and long-range shot. You should strengthen your defense, which will make you stand firm.

...

And your first coach, 'Xie,' although he has working experience in the NBA, I think this is not enough. I think his training of you is a little off. You have excellent talents, but you have not put them into practice.

Use it in the most reasonable place..."

"Sorry sir, I want to interrupt you."

Lin Shaojie suddenly frowned and said.

"Although I don't boast and promote myself like other players, I recognize my defensive ability and organizational ability more than my offensive ability.

Of course, I can't show it now. If I can, I can give it a try with Manu and the others. I am confident that I can defend Manu or Tony's offense, or give me a chance to participate in the team's game. I promise

I will do everything you want, beyond your imagination.

And I am a point guard, so my talent is to be able to see the overall situation and have a broad vision. My coach has been instilling this in me when cultivating my tactical awareness on the court."

Popovich has read his own information and shown that he values ​​himself, but it is obvious that he has not paid attention to some of his own characteristics, or has selectively forgotten them.

There was too much information when Lawrence wrote the recommendation information about himself. Perhaps Popovich ignored those circumstances and made some relevant remarks.

Especially the disdain for Xie Zhenghe. Could it be because he found out that the two were colleagues?

Do literati look down on each other?

Or do you want your colleagues to die?

Popovich frowned slightly, speechless about Lin Shaojie's "ignorance". Young people have not been severely beaten by society. Do they really think that they are outstanding and the Spurs must choose you?

His vision is notoriously good in the league. "Xie" is just a fringe figure in Milwaukee. How can he be compared with him?

"I can only say sorry. We don't have much time today. I can't give you more time to show off. My children still have to train. You have already played against an All-Star today, and your performance

Very good, you defeated an All-Star, an All-Star who didn't start on defense."

After Popovich finished speaking, he patted Lin Shaojie on the shoulder.

"Although I can't give you a promise, I will remember your performance. Lawrence's recommendation is very good. If possible, I will sign you. Believe me, kid, I have trust in the Orientals."

"Is it?"

Lin Shaojie thought to himself, if he were a heartless rookie, he might have been so moved by Popovich's words that he would have sacrificed his life.

But with Popovich standing so close to him, how could he not see his words and deeds?

Maybe he was praised for defeating Parker in public, but isn't it a very simple thing to score points under Parker's defense?

Therefore, Lin Shaojie's performance only attracted attention because of his status as a rookie. For other players, they did not recognize it too much, except for Parker.

No one, including Popovich, would take the words of a player who is strong offensively and weak defensively to heart. They just think it is because the player is anxious to lose and is just trying to put money on his face.

Just like most celebrities will praise Jordan after retirement, losing to a mortal is shameful, but losing to the god of basketball is an honor.

Popovich is equally stubborn. He trusts everything he sees and the troika he built.

How could Lin Shaojie, a young man from the East, be on his trust list?

"Tell me, what position do you have for yourself? I want to know your true thoughts."

While looking at his watch, Popovich called the players to go to training and asked Lin Shaojie casually.

Everyone knows this should be Popovich's last question.

The interview for Lin Shaojie, a rookie, is coming to an end.

"I want to be the top star."

"Wow, a very good dream. Every young person has had such a dream. Can you be more specific? What kind of top star do you want to be? Kobe? Iverson? Or someone like Tim."

When Lin Shaojie heard this, he turned to look at the coach Xie Zhenghe on the side. He had said those words not long ago, but now it was just a different person.

"Although my idol is Allen Iverson, I don't want to be a player like him.

Whether I am a substitute or a starter, no matter what the coach asks me to do, I will respect the coach's opinion and strictly implement the coach's tactics as long as I stand on the court.

But I have the final say on matters on the court, and I trust my own judgment."

After finishing these words calmly, Lin Shaojie pointed to his temple. His movements and expressions were not as exaggerated as those of black players. They were full of the quietness and peace of the East. Only those words fell on the ears of others, especially

Popovich's ears were a little tingly.

"Coach on the court? You look a lot like that Celtics player!"

I don’t know if Popovich was being sarcastic or something: “What if your decision is wrong? What if your shot doesn’t go in?”

"The coach's tactics must be implemented and executed. I will abide by and execute them as promised, but when the tactics are not successful and I am still on the court, I will try to find another way to solve the problem.

If I hadn't made that damn ball just now, I would have tried my best to grab the offensive rebounds and not give my opponent any chance. No matter if he was Tony, Manu, or Tim."

Lin Shaojie's reply was very calm, not as calm as what he should say at his age.

Popovich recalled the shyness of the young man in front of him when he first talked to him. He was sure that the boy was pretending to be stupid and cute at that time. He was pretending to be young to make them relax their vigilance.

Obviously, Parker was fooled, and so was he.

He now is the real him.

"Wish you good luck."

Popovich patted Lin Shaojie, then turned and left.

Do you expect the Spurs to get a good deal and choose Lin Shaojie, or do you expect Lin Shaojie to be selected by other teams?

Whether a firm commitment has been given is unknown.

A big man doesn't explain his words; what he needs is obedience.

Lin Shaojie seems a little prickly.

This is a young man who exudes arrogance from the bottom of his heart. If you want to conquer such a young man, you still have a long way to go.

When the three of them left the Spurs and returned to the hotel, Lawrence didn't know what to say.

Lin Shaojie expressed his true thoughts, but it's hard to say whether Popovich can accept this.

Some people rely on their personality to attract the attention of coaches, while some coaches don't like personality.

It is generally accepted that Popovich likes children who are obedient and well-behaved. If only the first half of Lin Shaojie’s words were cut off, Popovich would be very satisfied.

But Lin Shaojie said everything he wanted to say without leaving any room.

"If you try to be gentler, it might help you get into the NBA."

"Maybe!"

Looking at the silence and peace outside the window, no one knew that this was San Antonio thousands of miles away. Lin Shaojie turned around and faced Xie Zhenghe and said to the two of them.

"Lawrence, it seems like he has no respect for my coach, and Popovich got one thing wrong. The ability I have shown so far was not given by him, but by my coach, who trusted him to develop

Troika, I also trust my coach."

"Why bother?"

Xie Zhenghe sighed and hit Lin Shaojie on the chest.

"You shouldn't act out of emotion. I'm sure he still wanted you at first. If you act so stubborn, he will definitely have other ideas. You are causing trouble!"

"Master, I always feel that playing basketball depends on fate, just like the relationship between you and me.

If you don’t trust me, then why choose me, why let me play, why waste a spot and let me be a point guard? A point guard who doesn’t even have the ball, then it is necessary to exist!”

"I agree with this!"

Xie Zhenghe expressed his approval on the side. He had been fed up with his anger these past few days. Of course, he was relieved today. Lin Shaojie's performance was very eye-catching. Popovich was not blind and could see Lin Shaojie's ability.

But he still wanted Lin Shaojie to have a better impression of the Spurs, rather than because of some other factors that affected Lin Shaojie's judgment.

"Popovich rarely treats games as a show. In order to win, he can rest the three players. You can be a good substitute for Parker. If you are lucky enough to be selected, strive to become the best sixth man, or a rotation

Core.

It is also difficult for other teams to rest their main players on a large scale. If Los Angeles rests Kobe for no reason, look at the negative impact it will have. Will the role of the league in promoting stars be completely wasted?

So Popovich is a good coach, but he is just a good coach. For Xiaolin, these are all opportunities. I hope you come here for only one reason, that is, he will help the players share the pressure, and the atmosphere in the Spurs locker room is also good.

, it will be easier for you to get in.

If you go to another team, as a rookie, you can easily help the boss carry bags, serve tea and pour water. If you encounter some unreasonable people, it is very likely that you will give him a leg massage. At two or three in the middle of the night, you will give him a massage

If someone calls and sends a message to prank you, you should not be angry, but should be calm and even praise them in front of reporters.

Do you know? This is the attitude of the NBA towards rookies. Most people have come here this way. Rookies must have the consciousness of a rookie, unless you are James. Even James suffered discrimination when he entered the league."

Xie Zhenghe patted his beloved disciple.

"There should be nothing left behind. We did what we were supposed to do, and the rest is left to God. Of course, watch a Spurs game before leaving. Don't take advantage of the bastard."

As he said that, Xie Zhenghe raised the tickets in his hand, which they had purchased through Spurs insiders after training.

As the regular season draws to a close and the Thunder are chasing after them fiercely, it becomes difficult to buy tickets for the Spurs.

Before leaving, Lin Shaojie sat on the sidelines and watched a Spurs game with Xie Zhenghe and Lawrence.

Parker, who played against him during the trial, saw Lin Shaojie sitting near the front before the game and greeted him warmly, which made the reporters at the scene a little confused.

"Who was that Oriental guy who greeted Tony?"

Although this game was also broadcast, except for the host who could see the off-field footage before the game, the audience did not know everything that happened here.

Coach Zhang, the host and special commentator of Yangma, was stunned when he saw such a scene while chatting before the game.

The host just thought that this Asian man was tall and handsome, but he didn't know who he was.

On the contrary, Director Zhang knew well. After all, Lin Shaojie can be regarded as an "Internet celebrity" and "top player" in the basketball world.

Men who guide.

"Why are they in San Antonio?"

Director Zhang was a little confused, but the game had already begun and he regained his mind.

The game was uneventful. The Spurs overturned the Warriors 120-99 at home.

The Spurs team was incredibly stable, with six players scoring in double figures. The most eye-catching performance of the team was not the troika, but Nate Robinson, who scored 30 points by himself.

But for Lin Shaojie, what stood out the most was the warrior who was the loser.

Klay Thompson on the team scored 29 points. His standard and steady shooting was eye-catching. On the defensive end, he scored eight rebounds, two steals, and five assists.

Maybe this is the "3D" player in Popovich's mind!

After watching the game, Lin Shaojie, who was about to go home, looked at Lawrence, who was full of joy, and the latter shouted enthusiastically with his mobile phone.

"Thank you, you were wrong. Who said the trial training is over? There is another trial training invitation. How about it? Do you want to go?"
