My basketball vision is different

Old coach George Karl's timeout made the Nuggets on the court understand that their game was almost over.

The 18-point score difference was like a chasm. With the right time, location, and people, the Nuggets could only bow their heads and surrender.

After Iguodala came off the court, dragging his exhausted body, he turned his head with infinite disappointment and looked at No. 13, who was standing in the middle of the court as if he was being worshiped.

In Iguodala's impression, the Pacers' No. 13 rarely makes such passionate celebrations, let alone roars, shouts, etc. to boost morale, but his every move on the court can always make you

Dreaming about it.

With every game, he attracts a new audience.

For such a rookie, I really don't know what his limit is, and the Nuggets, who are attacking so fiercely, are hard to stop.

Looking at it, apart from the Heat, no team in the entire league can be sure that they can defeat such a Pacer, or that they can defeat the Pacer at Conseco Arena.

Look at the fans in front of you, they are all crazy with joy.

When has Indiana ever been so crazy? This place seems to have become a cemetery for visiting teams, and as many as they come are swallowed up.

Even the current Heat, after experiencing a game without the Spurs' three veterans, people have doubts about their combat effectiveness.

What's more, they were slaughtered by the Knicks at home.

Anthony missed that game due to injury, and the reunion of the 2003 golden generation came to an end.

But facing the New York Knicks, who were struggling with their entire team, the Heat still swallowed the fruit of failure under the eyes of everyone's expectations.

LeBron was still fully efficient, with 31 points and 10 rebounds, but the other two giants combined for 26 points.

The focus of attention is on Kidd. The old ball player passed the 1,900th milestone in his career three-pointers in this game.

Felton, the Knicks' most outstanding performer, was the player who was taught by Lynn. In this game, he scored 27 points and 7 assists.

This player who was being suppressed and ravaged by Lin Shaojie had an exchange of blows with the Heat's giants on the court.

Coupled with the outstanding performance of substitutes such as Smith and Novak, the Heat had to fall to their knees.

The average performance of the Big Three is pretty good. The biggest gap does not come from the main force. The gap between the two sides' substitutes is really too big. The Heat's inside line is even worse than that of the Knicks. They can't complain about losing this game.

Iguodala was thinking about it when he suddenly felt stomach discomfort as soon as he walked off the court. A strong feeling of vomiting forced him to stand on the sidelines and retching.

The physical discomfort made his nose run and tears quickly flowed out. Iguodala knew that his excessive physical exertion had made his body unable to withstand the pressure.

With the help of his teammates, Iguodala quickly returned to the locker room.

The fans on the sidelines watched "Brother Yi" lively and energetic before he came on the court. Finally, when Lin Shaojie came on the court, the two of them ran all over the court, playing a game of "you chase me, I chase you," and they made themselves vomit in the end.

Damn it, it’s just a run, how about running like this?

Lin Shaojie never thought that his duel with Iguodala would have such consequences for his opponent.

He only knows that pulling the opponent's core and running at different speeds, letting the opponent follow his own rhythm, is the most cunning way to win.

Iguodala has never been an easy player to deal with. If his body is not in a certain condition, he may not give in easily.

Frank saw his opponent remove players from the field, and Iguodala was even vomited. He also took the initiative to replace Lin Shaojie and others.

Lin Shaojie, who played for 20 minutes, did not time out. Of course, his physical energy was also consumed too much, otherwise his opponent would not be in this situation.

The situation that Iguodala is facing is that he looks very happy during the fight, but after it is over, he is exhausted and even has vomiting reaction.

For professional athletes, especially basketball players, this is definitely overload.

Frank looked at Lin Shaojie, who was relaxing on the bench, and his mind was filled with the data he scored in this game.

In 20 minutes of playing time, he scored 32 points, and made 7 out of 11 three-pointers, including three four-pointers. This is why the Nuggets had to dare not let him go on the outside.

Other data, 11 assists can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but within twenty minutes, it is definitely qualified.

Hibbert and West both benefited from this.

The data of 7 rebounds, 6 steals, and 3 blocks made Lin Shaojie very intimidating on the defensive end. Just looking at these data, you will know what he did during his time on the court.

Attack and defense integrated.

"Lynn, is your girlfriend pregnant?"

Frank had to confirm again.

"Yes, it was confirmed this morning!"

Lin Shaojie said with a smile.

"Congratulations, this is the best news today."

Frank and Lin Shaojie looked at each other and smiled. Brian even bumped fists with Lin Shaojie to celebrate. The game was still going on, but the Pacers' bench was already filled with laughter.

With an 18-point gap, the Nuggets don't dare to make another mistake, otherwise Frank wouldn't be morally friendly and release nuclear weapons.

When the final whistle sounded, Lin Shaojie and his teammates stood up to greet them. The audience on the sidelines burst into laughter. Today is undoubtedly another beautiful day.

As the largest local media, the Polis Star had already prepared the headline.

"Lynn led the team to 20 consecutive victories, and the genius of China shines in the American NBA!"

In the past, the Polis Star would always report on Danny Granger and the friendship between him and his younger brother Paul George.

But now, for many citizens, the most common thing in the Star News is the freeze-frame picture of Pacer No. 13 on the court, or the scene of him hugging his teammates.

The Chinese spent two months in Indiana, to be precise, just over a month of regular season time, and became the darling of this city and even this state.

Not far away, Chicago has their favorite stars, and the urban agglomerations along the Great Lakes have their own city stars.

The biggest name of the Pacers was Reggie Miller. Before the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, they had too many great expectations.

But everything turned gray, until the results gradually improved in recent years, and the annoying Pacers who continued to cause trouble to other championship teams in the playoffs are back.

Now, the Pacers have lost their former core, but have ushered in the arrival of a "new king." For fans who like basketball, the current No. 13 is far more powerful than the Danny Granger of the past.

Although it is only the regular season and has not been verified in the playoffs, everyone can see that that kid is not a softie. A player who can seize the leadership position in the locker room in his rookie season is not easy to bully no matter how you look at it.

, such a player can never be soft no matter how soft he is.

Character determines destiny. Look at his lovable character. Anyone who can be friends with Kobe is not much different.

If Granger can come back, the Pacers will be unstoppable by then, right?

Currently, in a survey conducted by the Indianapolis Star, the approval rating for Pacers No. 13 is as high as 90%.

In this small city with a small population, The Star controls the source of information for at least one-third of the population.

They are the most authoritative local media, so for the Pacers players, this investigation is self-evident.

Even if the "old master" comes back, it will be impossible for him to become "Ti Shanghuang".

After the game, Nuggets coach George Karl, who was sitting in the interview box, said calmly when being interviewed by reporters.

"Congratulations to the Pacers for winning 20 consecutive games. They are the team that has made the most progress this season and has performed best so far. No one has done better than them.

Frank is doing a great job, Lynn is doing a great job as a core player, and this season is going to be fantastic for Pacers fans so far.

We gave the Pacers too many opportunities in this game. If we meet next time, I think I have found a way to defeat the Pacers... I can't tell them in advance now, otherwise the Pacers will be on guard.

"

The reporter's questions, in addition to asking the coach to comment on his views on the home team and Lynn, also centered around Iguodala's "vomiting" scene after the game.

After all, Iguodala is not a softie. Did he really run away and vomit?

George Karl looked at the clean players around him. Iguodala picked up the microphone and acted very magnanimously.

"Although it was disappointing to lose the game, I didn't expect Lynn's endurance to be so good.

In fact, what I want to say is that my endurance is not bad, but compared with him, I am slightly inferior. More importantly, he seems to have specially practiced this kind of variable speed running. If ordinary players follow him for a long time,

I'm afraid things like this will happen to me.

Within a limited time, he and I had a heated exchange. At that time, I was no worse than him, but as you can see, he educated me with his non-stop running.

I say this not to push the envelope, but among the players I have met so far, his ability to move is very similar to Hamilton. They are both the kind of players who can't run to death, and the kind of players who are defensive players who are unwilling to go.

Players I don’t want to face either.

So I understand why he has to take turns to rest when his physical fitness is so good. If it is like this every time, even God can't stand it.

Of course, Lynn's running positions are different from Hamilton's. His running positions are inside and outside the three-point line. He has a very strong awareness, and he knows the positions of the players on the field well. I can feel that he is a player who plays with his brain.

.

But his running is so flexible, coupled with his deadly three-point shooting, all these combined make you have to follow him. Just when you want to stop, he moves, and you go all out and he stops again.

, I am like a kite held by him in his hand. I dare not be careless at all, otherwise he will shoot out at any time, which will cause me to be exhausted physically and mentally and consume a lot of physical energy.

So I ended up throwing up.

Shit, it was the first time I was vomited by someone walking a dog on the court. I feel embarrassed just thinking about it, but this is reality."

With his hands spread out, Iguodala became the last impression the Nuggets left on the home team.

The Nuggets' failure also brought the Pacers' winning streak to 20 games.

But after this round, the Pacers got a chance to show off across the United States.

Because their next game will be an away game against the powerful Thunder in the Western Conference!

For many people, this game can be regarded as the collision between the best performing teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences.

Anyway, according to everyone's rumors, since the rise of Qiao Gang leader in the east, many stars have been forced to travel "west", which ultimately resulted in a situation where the west is strong and the east is weak.

Now, with the momentum of 20 consecutive victories, the Pacers go to the West to challenge the Western Conference leader.

This is the team that beat the Spurs in the regular season.

As for the former dominant Lakers, it’s okay not to mention them.

Lin Shaojie, who had reaped the victory, had just returned home from the reporter's interview when he received a call from Kobe because they had just played a game against the Thunder in an away game.

The Lakers lost!

Without Harden, the Thunder's two young men scored a total of 69 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists, and they just pinned down the outstanding performance of Kobe.

This was also a rare outburst for Kobe in recent times. He scored 35 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Kobe performed comprehensively, but in the end, the Lakers lost.

Westbrook and Kobe both had wonderful four-point performances. If it weren't for Lin Shaojie's three four-point performances at home, these two would have been the most outstanding players today.

Then the impression the Lakers left on everyone because of their failure was:

Warcraft encountered Ibaka's block on the court;

Ibaka and Metta World Peace almost got into a fight on the court;

Kobe scored 35 points in vain.

"I watched the game!"

Lin Shaojie was walking in the courtyard with a phone in hand, talking to Kobe Bryant who was thousands of miles away.

"After we finished the game, everyone watched the rest of your game. Are you very unconvinced by your loss?"

Su Zhen looked at Lin Shaojie who was on the phone in the courtyard. The breeze ruffled Lin Shaojie's hair.

Since morning, the Lin family has been filled with joy because of the third generation.

The whole family attaches great importance to Su Zhen. The two refrigerators at home are filled with various ingredients, all of which must be supplemented by Su Zhen.

After all, in Mother Lin's opinion, Su Zhen seemed to have lost some weight.

Su's mother is preparing to leave in the next two days to come to Beautiful Country. Lin Congrong and his wife have already begun to think of ways to deal with it. After all, a young girl is here, and your brat has made their daughter's belly bigger.

Is this something humans do?

It seems that it is now popular among young people to get married by marrying one's son. However, Lin Shaojie did not comply with the regulations and had to get on the bus first and then pay for the ticket.

It's just how to explain it to other people's parents, which makes people a little confused.

Su Zhen expressed comfort, but she didn't know how to say it. Although she was happy, who wouldn't want their parents' blessing for a major life event like marriage? Su Zhen wanted to laugh when she thought of her father's eyes widening and helpless.

When we were together, I felt that my father was annoying, and when he was far away, I missed him even more. Fortunately, my mother was coming over, so it should be fine.

The dark cypress tree in the courtyard stood not far away like a guard. The breeze that blew Lin Shaojie's hair could not take away the needles.

The good thing about home games is that they can spend more time at home when not training. Su Zhen always feels at ease watching it.

Lin Shaojie seemed to notice something and waved his hand towards Su Zhen in the window.

On the other end of the phone, Kobe was a little angry.

"Lynn, do you think I should be convinced? I just scored 30,000 points. Do you know 30,000 points? I actually lost to the Thunder in this crucial game. I have to prove myself. I have not retired yet.

.”

When facing the Hornets in the previous round, Kobe Bryant scored 30,000 points in his life. The players ahead of Kobe were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Jordan, and Chamberlain.

In addition, Kobe is the only active player who can achieve this achievement.

A 34-year-old veteran, and also the youngest person in history to receive a 30,000-point score, Stern, the boss of the uniform team, personally came to the scene to congratulate you. I wonder if you are satisfied with this honor.

Lin Shaojie remembers clearly that O'Neal, an old friend, immediately tweeted, saying: The great Kobe Bryant broke through the 30,000-point mark, and his greatness will continue.

Lin Shaojie also discovered that the vocabulary of NBA players seems to be very poor. They have no history and no cultural heritage. When describing an outstanding player, they always use the word "great". Even O'Neal is used to saying this.

Can this great, that great, these words be used casually?

Based on the relationship between Lin Shaojie and Kobe Bryant, he also admires each other very much, but can you put it another way?

What are words like "unparalleled", "outstanding", "unparalleled"?

It really doesn't work, even if it's "civil and military", it's "great" and "great" all the time. Lin Shaojie really wants to vomit.

When Kobe Bryant scored 30,000 points, what was Lin Shaojie doing?

Lin Shaojie, who only had very little playing time under the rotation, had all his statistics hit a new low in his career. The Fox TV station with tinted glasses was teasing Lin Shaojie about encountering the rookie wall.

Praising one and suppressing the other, this is what Fox does.

"I congratulated you when you scored 30,000 points, but we Chinese are very particular about hiding our strength and biding our time, and we must know how to restrain ourselves when we are proud in life."

In Lin Shaojie's view, Kobe's recent fame is his personal one. Whether it is the media or players, many expressed their respect for Kobe during interviews.

But this kind of respect is not proportional to the Lakers' performance. Even on that 30,000-point night, g.

Facing hordes of reporters, Kobe replied.

"In a long career, staying healthy and efficient is the most difficult thing, and doing these two things well is also the most critical factor for success."

When he heard this, Lin Shaojie raised his hands in agreement, which is what he did, but Kobe said quickly.

"In the 17th season of my career, I can maintain a strong fighting spirit and abundant physical strength. This is the secret of my ability to achieve all this. Of course, I don't know how to maintain a hard-working mentality. I only know that I am very good.

Enjoy all this and I will stay healthy until I retire."

So at this time, Lin Shaojie once again reminded him kindly.

"Your playing time this year is already quite small. I reminded you when I was at your home that you can reduce some playing time."

"If I reduce it further, we won't even be able to get tickets for the playoffs, so what's the point of reducing it."

"Your trust in the substitutes is too low!"

"The opportunity is given to them, but what's the use if they can't seize it."

Lin Shaojie did not agree with Kobe's remarks, but Kobe continued to vent his anger on the phone as if he had found a point to vent.

"As long as our substitutes score ten more points, no, five points, we can defeat our opponents, but they can't even do this."

"Your substitutes don't seize the opportunity? How much money have you spent on forming the so-called Big Four? Do you still have money to find substitutes?"

Lin Shaojie ridiculed, everyone knows the importance of substitutes, but Lin Shaojie discovered that even the richest teams are playing the trick of accumulating stars. It seems that the Spurs are actually a very reasonable one, and the Nuggets defeated today are also

Yes, their bench is very strong.

Kobe and the Lakers, who showed off a game and gained countless looks, told the story of one person, one city, and each other's achievements. They tried their best in this game, but they lost completely.

Both sides of the match have the feeling that they are beating the main players to death, and the substitutes are useless.

Lin Shaojie is sure that now in the West, the young Thunder team is definitely a thorn in the side of the purple and gold giants and even Kobe Bryant.

The Thunder, which had won six consecutive games, faced a Lakers team that had been intermittent and had problems from time to time, and the latter had even fallen outside the quarterfinals.

This is a tragedy for the Lakers, who have won two championships in the past five seasons.

The decline of the Lakers and the rise of the Thunder can be seen by everyone.

Between the lost wealthy families and the rising stars, there will always be a drama of "seizing power".

Personal honors are in sharp contrast to the team's record.

"I don't think it's normal for you to lose the game in the end. You said the opportunity was given to the substitutes, so why wasn't this opportunity given to you?"

Lin Shaojie said, seemingly adding fuel to the fire.

"The opportunity has been given to you, but if you can't grasp it, what's the use. What about your shooting percentage? What about your stability? It's not as good as the Thunder at all."

Lin Shaojie's words are not without purpose. The Lakers have more rebounds and free throws than their opponents. They even have the upper hand in terms of paper strength in the paint.

But what can be done if the shooting rate cannot improve? The Lakers' 40% shooting rate and the Thunder's nearly 50% shooting rate are these differences, which biased the outcome of the game in favor of the Thunder, allowing the latter to win six consecutive games.

"Howard's free throws are too bad, especially the free throws at critical moments. Although O'Neal is also poor, he never shows mercy at critical moments. Standing on that line, he does not have the courage to take responsibility."

Kobe complained to Lin Shaojie privately: "We missed too many free throws."

"Not only that, you made too many mistakes in this game. You are the leader. You made at least five more mistakes than the Thunder. Some of the food I saw was baffling."

"Don't talk to me about this, you monster!"

Kobe also felt strange when he said this. Core players must make more mistakes when they have the ball. But Lin Shaojie is almost an anomaly. His ball rights may not be as important as his own, but they are not less.

If it's just one or two games, this is twenty games. In addition to Lin Shaojie's heartbreaking offensive rebound, this mistake also made many defenders cry silently.

A guard's true shooting percentage is higher than that of a center, and he ranks first in the NBA in assists. Kobe is jealous just to see him.

After all, this year, in addition to ranking among the top three in the irons list, Kobe also ranked first in a single turnover list. By the way, the game in which he made 10 turnovers was against Lin Shaojie's Pacers.

Not only did the Lakers lose the game, they also allowed Kobe to make the most 10 turnovers in a single game. So far, no one can beat him. The thought of this makes Kobe angry.

It’s okay for others to bully me for being a bad old man, but you, Lin, are here to bully me too?

In addition, other individual values ​​​​have also been seized by the new generation of players.

After Kobe Bryant had finished complaining and vented his anger, Lin Shaojie planned to go back to spend time with his girlfriend, no, his mother.

When chatting with this obsessive-compulsive disorder, you have to listen to what he has to say, otherwise he will bore you to death.

Corvo is also chatty, and he won't say a word to anyone he doesn't know, but he won't let go of anyone he knows.

"Have you heard? Crazy Lin is going to participate in an independent film by a Chinese-American filmmaker and produce his biographical documentary. It is hard for me to imagine that a player who has not won a championship will make such a film. Although he has had short-term success,

He doesn't have a title..."

When Kobe Bryant mentioned one thing, I don’t know when the media started reporting that Lin was crazy for the Lakers and that the current Rockets’ tactical style was not suitable for him.

Could it be that it's just because Lin Kuangsheng has performed well under D'Antoni?

Lin Shaojie saw it very clearly in the NBA. Without Kobe Bryant's nod to the Lakers, how could Crazy Lin go to the Lakers? Besides, the two of them are not the kind of players who seem to work well together.

The Rockets had been pursuing Gasol before, which almost angered Kobe. He hated the whole house and how could they possibly want the former Rockets player.

Lin Crazy's defensive disadvantages exposed in the Rockets caused his status in Kobe's heart to drop again and again. Lin Crazy, who originally relied on his brain to play, seems to be unable to play in the Rockets.

The most critical thing is that Lin's crazy business activities are terrifying, and he has too little time for systematic training during the summer. His three-point ax has been thoroughly studied by his opponents, so it is not surprising that he has fallen into a slump this season.

"What do you mean by telling me this?"

Lin Shaojie asked gloomily, while Kobe on the other side was laughing and joking: "I just think Los Angeles has a good scenery, good medical conditions, and is very suitable for having children. You are not the kind of player who is easily tempted. Do you want to consider...

..”

"We will definitely enter the playoffs, and you have to work harder."

Lin Shaojie's words made Kobe furious: "Next time I take the initiative to call you, I'm a dog."

"Woof woof!"

Lin Shaojie responded on the phone.

"Fuck, I won't say any more. Congratulations on having a baby. Also, vent your anger for me in the next game. No matter if you can win or not, beat the Thunder."

"Hurry up, I already have children. Your son hasn't seen any movement yet. Is he too old?"

"Crack!"

Kobe hung up the phone.

When I talk about my son Kobe, I feel heartbroken.

I don’t know why, but since the bet with Lynn failed to come true, Vanessa’s body has not moved. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be the case. Both of them have physiques that are easy to give birth to.

...

On December 10, the Pacers, who had rested for most of the day and set off early, set out to challenge the Western Youth Army-Thunder in Lahoma, Ohio.

Before the game, Barkley and O'Neal sat on the stage to analyze.

As the two most famous football commentators, they do not spend as much time together as expected, and it is difficult to hire them for non-heavyweights. But as long as the two of them are together, they will definitely cause trouble.

Just like this game.

"Do you think Lynn will start this game?"

The Pacers have recently begun to rotate, and as the core, Linn has been constantly having his playing time reduced due to his young age. This is also a well-known fact.

Just like facing the Nuggets in the last round, Lin Shaojie defeated his opponent in 20 minutes.

After hearing Barkley's question, O'Neal thought for a while and said.

"If it was Frank who arranged the tactics, it's hard for me to guess. He might start, or he might continue as a substitute. But I have news here, and I think I can tell you."

O'Neill said mysteriously.

"The Thunder defeated the Lakers in the last game. Do you think that as Kobe's friend, Lynn will still sit on the sidelines? And I know that Kobe specifically called Lynn."

"Hoo ho!"

Barkley called the good guy directly: "Why didn't I think that if the Lakers didn't have a game with the Jazz today, Kobe might even be watching the game?"

"Not watching the battle, but supervising the battle on the spot."

O'Neal laughed "haha".

"That guy (Kobe) was depressed for a long time after losing to Kevin (Durant). Believe me, no one understands Kobe better than me. He is not only a paranoid, but also a 'small-minded'. The Lakers lost like this this season.

Don't look at that guy smiling in front of reporters, but privately he probably can't even sleep well, thinking about the sun in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning every day."

Buckley laughed too.

Before the game, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to say hello to Durant and Westbrook. The two sides had lost a lot of contact since the Olympics.

But in the eyes of the media, the NBA this season has two all-around fighters and two bugs.

The all-around warriors belong to LeBron James, the current number one player in the league, and Russell Westbrook of the Thunder.

In fact, according to the Polis Star, Lin Shaojie is more suitable for this title than LeBron or even Westbrook. However, in the eyes of the public, LeBron's omnipotence has become a mindset.

Westbrook's combo guard is also very versatile.

As for the other two bugs, they are Durant of the Thunder and the No. 13 pick of the Pacers. The former feels like he is out of position when playing against anyone. His height, wingspan, and incredible touch and flexibility are too exaggerated.

Wow, the NBA hasn't seen such a great player in how many years.

What about the latter?

He is obviously a "short" defender, but he is unique in the defensive line. Needless to say, top physical talents such as strength, speed, and flexibility are the basis for the Pacers to dare to make a big bet.

His IQ and mental maturity on the court are even rarer. I have never seen a rookie who is more stable than him. He is so stable that he is now the boss of the Pacers locker room.

Some fans even joked that Lin Shaojie was a cheater, otherwise how could he have had such a strong rookie season without cheating? Some of the statistics are too exaggerated, like the only four-double in active service.

Durant greeted Lin Shaojie. Although the media was very hot, Durant still admired Lin Shaojie for his current achievements. His character is that kind of black player who is a bit wilted and not extroverted.

Regarding Lin Shaojie's kindness before the game, although Durant smiled, the feeling he conveyed was not that of a social bullshit, he was too introverted.

Westbrook was very enthusiastic and introduced their good friend "Ibaka" to Lin Shaojie.

"Hello, Serge (Ibaka)."

"Hello, Lynn!"

Ibaka's performance is much more likable than Durant's personality. Unlike his height, Lin Shaojie actually saw "weakness" and "delicacy" in front of this tall striker.

Lin Shaojie glanced at him unconsciously. After all, Ibaka always showed an attitude of "Do you want to fight?" This shows how untrustworthy the rumors are. This striker is obviously Zhang Fei's type.

There is a feeling of fineness in the roughness.

"After the game, let's have dinner together?"

After being enthusiastic, Westbrook even took the initiative to invite.

"I have no problem, but I hope you can eat it."

Westbrook was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Shaojie's recovery, and immediately asked: "You want to take away the victory? At our home court?"

"certainly!"

Lin Shaojie made an "ok" gesture: "I firmly believe it!"

"Then... see you on the court."

Westbrook waved his fist and Lin Shaojie waved his hand.

Not far away, Durant seemed to be a little hunched over, but his eyes were firm.

Maybe he is not good at words, but he is always an activist.

If you don't accept it, let's do it. Don't "beep!"

Back to the Pacers, Frank greeted Lin Shaojie, who was arranging tactics.

"The importance of this game is self-evident to us. The pressure of winning streak puts a heavy burden on us, but our opponent has won seven consecutive victories. I don't know how many fans across the United States are paying attention to this game, so I hope

You guys can perform well, put all those damn pressures aside, and go all out to win."

After saying that, Frank looked at Lynn, who nodded and spoke at the instruction of assistant coach Brian.

"We have a greater advantage than the opponent. We also watched the last game between them and the Lakers. Apart from the starting players, they have nothing else available, and we still have you sitting on the bench. I hope we can try our best to win this game.

..."

Lin Shaojie's start was expected. After all, he was facing the leader of the Western Conference, so he still had to give him respect.

The Pacers' starting lineup is still the familiar five, led by Lin Shaojie, with George Hill and Paul George on the left and right, and David West and Roy Hibbert stationed inside.

On the Thunder side, the "two young men" lead the team, plus Ibaka, Perkins, and Sefolosha.

Just looking at the starting lineup, both sides are evenly matched, with both internal and external pros and cons.

After the game started, Hibbert successfully jumped the ball, and then Westbrook confidently defended Lin Shaojie.

Lin Shaojie said with envy as he looked at the opponent's body.

"Russell, your muscle lines are great."

"I know, rookie!"

Westbrook is full of passion on the court.

Logically speaking, Westbrook should know a core player like Lin Shaojie very well, but facing such a young but mature player, Westbrook boldly stepped forward to steal the ball.

Does he think that if the opponent is really a rookie, he will make the same mistakes that all rookies make?

Facing a steal, Lin Shaojie used a behind-the-back dribble to avoid Westbrook's somewhat reckless steal, and then quickly broke through.

After Westbrook's "gamble" defense lost position, Sefolosha immediately took over, but Lin Shaojie had already seen the Pacers' little luck. Hibbert, who successfully jumped the ball, had already taken his position in the interior.

When Lin Shaojie was still dribbling, he stepped back and looked like shooting, attracting the attention of all opponents. His retreating figure and raised upper body were high, but at the last moment, his wrist flicked in the opposite direction, and the basketball passed through the gap.

The medium pass went out.

Hibbert on the inside received the pass and half-turned to complete the dunk. Ibaka and Perkins were half a beat too slow and could only watch as Hibbert completed the first attack.

"The Pacers' goal was too easy!"

O'Neal said excitedly: "Although Russell is very versatile and passionate, you can't be reckless when facing a player like Lynn. He is the kind of person who won't let go when he sees your weakness and will stare at it.

Go play the players.”

"I agree!"

Buckley agreed righteously.

"I have never seen any rookie like him. Did you see the passer just now? Russell's speed is very fast, but it is useless. When Lynn broke through it, he felt that he had no strength, even though he was dribbling

, but he knows clearly the movements of his teammates.

Russell should be more cautious, players like Lynn are not other rookies."

It was the Thunder's turn to attack. Westbrook's dribbling was full of passion and the speed was very fast. George Hill couldn't stop the breakthrough of this muscle bomb. Lin Shaojie saw this and quickly made up the defense.

After all, Westbrook's speed is not that easy to deal with. He doesn't want to expose the inside line to the Thunder's firepower from the beginning.

Lin Shaojie's timely defense withstood Westbrook's impact and forced him to press the pause button outside the three-point line.

"George (Hill), don't let him speed up."

Lin Shaojie's voice was so loud that everyone could hear it.

"Don't let him break through easily, let him shoot."

Westbrook, who was still a little complacent at first, was unhappy when he heard this.

What kind of rookie do you think you look down on my shooting?

"Except for Kevin, I'm not worried about anyone else's long-range shots."

Lin Shaojie turned his head and smiled kindly at Durant: "Kevin is our biggest threat, his touch is too soft."

Why did Westbrook feel uncomfortable when he heard it? Lin Shaojie almost pointed at their noses and said.

"Except for Durant, all of you here are trash."

Durant knew that the opponent was playing tricks on him, but when he saw Westbrook explode, he wanted to kill Lin Shaojie.

However, Lin Shaojie caught the loophole in the too rough and direct passing movement. The moment he changed direction, he was intercepted by Lin Shaojie. Lin's long arms made a contribution. The steal he sent made Westbrook's offense useless.

return.

After Lin Shaojie completed the steal, he did not make a fast break because the Thunder retreated very quickly. Westbrook behind Lin Shaojie was "chatting" to get the basketball back, but he was slightly shorter than Lin Shaojie and could not get on Lin Shaojie's body.

Get benefits.

Facing an opponent who is not as tall as himself, Lin Shaojie should not fight too easily.

Perhaps from a physical point of view, the other person is much stronger than him, but Lin Shaojie also knows that he will soon weigh 200 pounds. He has muscles, and he has never been intimidated by anyone in terms of strength.

Westbrook also discovered that he did not have the advantage in the fight with Lin Shaojie. Usually when faced with such a "skinny" defender, he would always take him away in a wave, regardless of the opponent's height.

If the opponent's inside line is strong, Westbrook can pass the ball to Durant outside at any time.

The chemistry between the two is wonderful. The strong Westbrook likes to attack the inside, while the tall and thin Durant likes to float outside and shoot.

Durant, who is shorter on paper, is level with Ibaka when standing in front of him. More importantly, Durant is habitually hunched over.

This is really a mysterious height.

The Pacers regained the ball and took the initiative. Lin Shaojie, who held the ball for half the court, watched Westbrook once again stand in front of him to defend. The former's eyes were "scanning!"

"Rookie, is this your first season?"

Westbrook pretended to steal, stretched out his hand and then retracted it, which was quite scary, but Lin Shaojie remained unmoved, as if he had seen through the opponent's actions.

"This is our home court, you can never take away the victory."

"Russell, your body is very strong."

When Lin Shaojie was dribbling the ball and talking at the same time, Russell felt that the opponent's momentum was not as peaceful as before, but full of aggression.

The eyes that looked up at him seemed to be full of provocation, and Westbrook fought back without fear.

"I know I'm strong. Do you want to be like me? I'll teach you."

"But I don't like you like this."

After saying that, Lin Shaojie's pace changed, and the foot he stepped out forced Westbrook to take a step back, but Lin Shaojie quickly took it back, and the basketball returned to Lin Shaojie's arms, two steps away from the three-point line.

, Lin Shaojie suddenly stood up and completed the jump shot.

Westbrook took off immediately, but no amount of bounce or speed could make up for the gap between him and Lin Shaojie.

This sudden shot was too sudden. The Pacers' teammates were all in good positions. Lin Shaojie's shooting position was not very good. He could definitely pass the ball.

You don’t pass when you should pass, and you don’t shoot when you should shoot. Is this a so-called bug?

But Lin Shaojie's "forward" shooting made him fall into the arms of Westbrook, who could not escape no matter what.

Hearing the referee's whistle sound and turning around to see the basketball falling from the net, Westbrook was furious.

"Are you cheating on me?"

"Sorry, this is war!"

Lin Shaojie pointed to the basketball court at his feet.

Westbrook had to watch Lin Shaojie go to the free throw line.

Although everyone is already familiar with Lin Shaojie's behavior of "If you don't want to foul, I can make you foul".

Smart and cunning, Lynn can make his opponent commit six fouls in order to win, and he can also make his opponent lose confidence and fall to the bottom, and is even more likely to make his opponent run away and vomit.

Westbrook thought about the various situations in which he and Lin Shaojie faced off. He did not expect that Lin En would treat him in this way after the game started.

"I regard you as a friend, what do you regard me as?"

After finishing the free throw, Lin Shaojie once again added 1 point to his hand and scored another four points.

Looking at Westbrook's eyes, Lin Shaojie understood what he meant.

"Who is this person? Are you suing me?"

No.

"I don't think you are a fool. I just want to tell you that I am going to win this game. Who can stop me? You or Kevin?"

After Lin Shaojie finished speaking, he retreated toward the Pacers' second half and watched Westbrook catch the ball from a distance.

"George (Hill), I'm going to guard Russell."

"What about me?"

"You and Paul (George) go to double-team Kevin (Durant). He is our biggest threat. I can handle Russell by myself."

The fierce Lin Shaojie went up to Westbrook just as he dribbled the ball across half court.

Facing such a player who is not as tall as him and whose shooting is average, Lin Shaojie knows how to make the opponent uncomfortable.
