16 assists is common, and that guy has been at the top of the assist list for a long time.

But 20 rebounds, this is a statistic that many centers cannot get, and today this kid took advantage of it again.

Although it is not a surprising statistic, it is a statistic obtained by a defender. No matter how you look at it, you will be shocked.

Looking back at the highlights of the game, those 20 rebounds were not "picked up". Today, the Raptors played like a strong team. Coupled with the height of the team's inside line, if you want to get rebounds in this situation,

Not easy at all.

But watching No. 13 rush into the paint again and again and fight with those muscles, you have to admire the toughness of the Pacers' No. 3 overall pick.

Because sometimes, he just completed what a "card forward" should do, so that the big guy in the Pacers team, Roy Hibbert, could wake up.

If every ball must be contested, those people have to wonder whether this guard will get the most 30 rebounds this season, because many of them are right in front of him and then given to Hibbert.

Who doesn't want a "stuck forward" as a teammate, LeBron will not refuse!

And this situation didn't come to an end until the fourth quarter. The awakened Hibbert proved his role in getting the highest salary for the Pacers. It was not too late to make up for the situation.

After the game against the Raptors, the Pacers officially announced that the team's No. 3 overall pick suffered minor injuries due to fighting too hard and was unable to appear in the game against the Nets.

When the news was officially announced, it spread throughout the league.

Kobe, who had just defeated the Bobcats in an away game, quickly called this guy.

"I heard you were injured?"

"A little bit!"

Lin Shaojie said nonchalantly: "My arms were scratched a little by those guys. I feel very uncomfortable and need a rest."

"FUCK!"

Kobe was swearing profusely, and as an old basketball hooligan, he instantly knew why.

Many teams have used this as an excuse. Unexpectedly, the honest Pacers have also started to do this. People are not old!

Beside Lin Shaojie, Chen Junren and Yang Wenyuan, who were training with him, were also laughing.

"Do you want to give up that game?"

"No, everyone wants to win."

Lin Shaojie walked aside and watched Chen Junren practicing one-step shooting under his eyes.

Compared with the two-stage shooting, this shooting method lacks a sense of elegance. If the posture is incorrect, it will give people a "feminine" feeling.

But if you surrender, it will be really powerful. This method is very suitable for these old teammates with "mediocre talents".

After all, there is no bounce and no core strength. If you want to shoot a fadeaway jumper, you can only end up like a tiger instead of a dog.

"By the way, have you read the latest strength list?"

"Look, you have made great progress!"

Lin Shaojie responded that in addition to the Pacers returning to first place, the Spurs, who had won ten consecutive victories, ranked second, and the Thunder and Heat occupied third and fourth place.

The Lakers relied on their recent record to reach 16th.

In Houston, where this All-Star Game is held, the Rockets also moved up one spot to 13th.

The aging Spurs actually surpassed the Thunder to occupy second place, but the Spurs have not been having an easy time recently. The main reason is that Duncan, as the core, has just returned from injury. Within more than ten minutes of playing, he came off again.

Popovich's hair is going gray again.

"You are very stable, but we are still working hard for the playoffs."

Kobe said with some envy: "By the way, I heard that you signed up for the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest?"

"Of course, Larry (Bird) really wants me to participate. He thinks that as long as I perform normally, I will definitely get the trophy."

"Really? How about I go up and play with you?"

Kobe seemed to be telling a joke.

"Stop joking, this skills challenge is exclusive to point guards, so don't get involved. As for three-pointers? Can you do it?"

"Who do you look down on?"

Of course Kobe was dissatisfied.

"Despite my age, I have assisted a lot recently. I am also a point guard and I play very well."

"I'm not joking. Many people in the official competition field can't outrun me. In that kind of situation where no one interferes, the opponents I can torture can't find them, including you. Do you believe it?"

Lin Shaojie never jokes. Others may not have the confidence. As a cheater, if he can't do it in the same situation without anyone interfering, then he is too inferior.

No matter how the NBA changes the rules and sets up points, in the final analysis, they can never change the essence of "playing".

Kobe was very dissatisfied with Lin Shaojie's self-confidence, but he knew that what he was telling the truth was true. When he wanted to sign up, the uniform staff dissuaded him. Although for the top brass of the NBA, this was a very big deal.

Good gimmick.

But since they have officially announced the list, it is impossible for them to add Kobe to the list.

Besides, for a guy as old as you, you appear in the All-Star Game every year and are popular enough, so don't get involved in those individual events, it's meaningless.

Kobe just gave up!

Because Lin Kuangshen was not selected for the All-Star game, he could only "reappear in the light of day" through the skills challenge, which can be regarded as a curve to save the country. Otherwise, only Harden will participate in the home game, and the Rockets will be a bit inferior!

When the All-Star lists were announced one by one, Lin Shaojie thought of his opponents in the Skills Challenge. In addition to Crazy Lin, they were Holiday of the 75ers, Knight of the Pistons, Damian Lillard of the Trail Blazers and the veteran of the Spurs.

Familiar Parker!

Well, everyone was defeated by his subordinates. Lin Shaojie didn't even feel any pressure. He even wanted to stand up and shout arrogantly.

"Who else?"

Except for the skills challenge and the new rules formulated this year, as long as it is an individual competition, Lin Shaojie has no room to worry at all. All destiny is in his own hands.

The opponents in the three-point contest include Novak of the Knicks, Irving of the Cavaliers, Bonner of the Spurs, Curry of the Warriors, and Anderson of the Hornets.

It was only Curry's actual combat that made Lin Shaojie look at him differently. Even though Anderson was the "second best" last year, Lin Shaojie didn't take it seriously.

If we only count the shooting percentage, Lin Shaojie's outside shooting ability leaves the second place 800 miles away!

For Lin Shaojie, perhaps the greatest significance of this All-Star Game is that the Little Giant has returned to Houston.

While the Pacers were still competing, Little Giant had already brought his wife and daughter to his home in Houston. I heard that Little Giant was also a judge for this dunk contest.

A name that has no substance but reflects absolute status.

As for Lin Shaojie, he spent a few days leisurely.

Chen Junren, who was forced to train together, felt like he was back to the unbearable past of being drilled by Xie Zhenghe in his freshman year these days.

Get up at dawn and start warming up, and then there is the never-ending shooting training.

Xie Zhenghe, who changed into sportswear, personally fed them the balls.

In order to prove himself in the three-point contest, Lin Shaojie is also practicing more and more.

When Chen Junren and Yang Wenyuan looked at the "little junior brother" one meter away from the three-point line, "Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" came into the frame continuously, and they were "Duang!" "Duang!"

When he responded with "Duang!", Xie Zhenghe naturally received a blank stare.

Luo Xiaoou, as a member who assists in picking up the ball, was also surprised by the amazing changes.

The distance of one meter from the three-point line is still Lin Shaojie's normal combat radius. Regardless of the strength of the shot or the hit rate, he has never missed a shot in daily training.

The most important thing is that you rarely hear the "clang" or "swish!" sounds!

It’s just a simple “Whoosh!”

The exaggerated entry angle under the high arc makes Lin Shaojie's shot seem to have been accurately measured. Normal players' shots will always make the basketball hit the basket, but Lin Shaojie does not.

It feels like his shots knocking down the rim are a stain on basketball!

Silky smooth as never before!

This shocked onlookers including Zhao Li!

Only Xie Zhenghe was smiling. He, a "closed disciple," had heard what he said in his mind, and he still followed it even after so long.

Try to expand the frame angle as much as possible!

After all, isn't the ultimate goal of basketball just to put the basketball into the basket?

Although shooting is not as attractive as dunking, as long as you can get in, this is your skill!

Lin Shaojie himself also knows that the big strategy was proposed by Xie Zhenghe, such as increasing the angle of entry, and not playing McGrady's style in pursuit of coolness!

A shot that is too straight will inevitably reduce the shooting percentage, and the angle of entry into the frame is too low.

In actual execution, Lin Shaojie's take-off shot, whether it is one-stage or two-stage, was accurately calculated by the state university computer, coupled with the so-called ergonomics, and Lin Shaojie's personal physical data was entered for final theoretical analysis.

It comes from combining practice.

Data such as the timing of the shot, the spread of the five fingers, the shooting angle of the forearm, etc. are all based on science.

Breaking down this set of movements, it is completely Lin Shaojie’s personal standard shooting secrets!

Other players can improve on this basis. Just for this system, Lin Shaojie spent a lot of money.
