Chapter 212 Defeating the Clippers
The moment the final game sounded, the players from both sides hurriedly left the Conseco Arena. The players who came back to their senses knew the consequences of the fight. Although it did not cause any major impact, this "group" incident
, it’s a big deal wherever you put it.
In the locker room, Lin Shaojie looked at poor Hibbert. At this time, he still had the "high-spiritedness" and any murderous look in his eyes.
If we look purely at the friendship between teammates, Lin Shaojie's handling was too cold-blooded. Although he ended the fight between the two parties, he did not rush to help his teammates immediately.
Look at Lance and the others, this is how they act as true buddies.
If someone jumped out and made irresponsible remarks in the locker room at this time, I am afraid it would cause quite a disturbance. However, Lin Shaojie, the last person to walk into the locker room, had no expression on his face.
I can't figure out what his mentality is at all.
"Roy (Hibbert) did a great job and I know he wanted to help Danny (Granger)."
Lin Shaojie's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and Hibbert's expression also looked much better.
"but......"
Everyone's emotions became tense again, and during this relaxation and tension, everyone changed accordingly.
Lin Shaojie stretched out his hand and patted Hibbert gently on the shoulder.
"There are solutions on the court. You are our inside core. You don't need to do things like losing money. At critical moments, you have to stand on the court instead of watching our games in the locker room like now.
.
Can you understand me?"
Hibbert was a little touched by Lin Shaojie's words. Although he had a grudge at that moment, after all, Curry, a "vulnerable" guy, knew how to rush over and hug him to make it easier for his teammates to attack.
With Lin Shaojie's fighting power, he will definitely be able to easily restrain David Li.
But what about Lin Shaojie? He didn’t come to help immediately.
Of course, what he did in the end was not wrong at all. He separated the two parties who wanted to fight. This was the most correct approach.
But deep down, Hibbert prefers the angry Lin Shaojie, the guy who was tough with Garnett.
Of course, it's too late to say anything now. Now Hibbert is a little worried about what kind of punishment he will receive as the instigator of this incident.
"Don't worry, I'll call Larry (Bird) first!"
Lin Shaojie comforted Hibbert. Just when he was about to contact the team's boss, his phone rang first.
Picking up the phone, Lin Shaojie walked aside and responded in a low voice.
"Larry, yes, I'm...
Their performance was very good. I don't want the situation to escalate. Roy is a good guy and he was protecting Danny. David Lee's actions were a bit big. We all know that Danny has only recovered not long ago.
Of course, he is our teammate, and of course I am willing to protect him.
OK, thanks Larry, I'll tell Roy..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shaojie looked at the players' eager eyes and made an "ok" gesture.
"Larry will explain the incident to the uniform staff. There will definitely be punishment, but he will try his best to deal with it."
Lin Shaojie's words made Hibbert feel a little more relieved.
Although they are all players who have been in the league for many years, many players are still a little confused about the penalty standards of the league uniform team.
Sometimes an incident that looks very cruel is ignored in an understatement; sometimes something that doesn't seem serious is handled by the uniform team in an extremely grand manner.
Although Lin Shaojie has only been in the industry for a short time, he has already learned the rules.
Although today's game looked chaotic and exciting, everything happened on the court.
It was just a dispute and a push, nothing serious happened, and only Hibbert was sent off in the end, so that's nothing.
Considering those games where several players are sent off at every turn, can this be a big deal?
So even if Larry Bird hadn't intervened, Lin Shaojie felt that the matter shouldn't have been big. What's more, now that Larry Bird had intervened, the matter should have been handled in a more appropriate way.
Hibbert will be suspended for two or three games at most. As for the others, a one-game suspension? Or just fine him.
Anyway, after so many years, the Pacers are a team with a criminal record, but all the players with so-called criminal records have been replaced, so such criminal records only exist on those players. The team at this time has already
The blood has been changed once.
This matter is over, don’t mention it again!
When Curry left Indianapolis, he called Lin Shaojie. The two parties originally agreed to get together again after the game. Who would have thought that the fight was over? As for the punishment after the game, who knows what will happen!
Lin Shaojie expressed his understanding and said that the two parties will meet again when they have time.
I hung up Curry's phone, and Kobe's phone came right after.
"Lynn, your performance was so cool. You prevented a disaster from happening. It's great for the team."
Kobe said exaggeratedly.
"I heard a lot of insincere things from your words. If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't think there is any need to beat around the bush like this!"
Lin Shaojie's words made Kobe a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone, just a little embarrassed!
In addition to touting his performance on the court, Kobe focused on Warcraft.
During the turbulent Lakers top-level changes, Kubchak, who was the general manager, actually said: "Howard is the future of the Lakers."
Let’s look at how Warcraft responded after hearing this.
"I feel the same way. I have talked with Mitch (Kubchak) many times. I have not changed since I entered this team. My goal has always been this... not only that.
, I still want to win the championship. This season is very difficult, but we still have a chance.
As for staying on the team this summer, I have no control over it."
Such remarks are not harmful to Kobe. If he didn't say the last sentence, Kobe may think that Howard is a role model, but if you don't sign the key renewal contract, isn't it nonsense!
It's inexplicable for both sides to compliment each other at this time.
Kobe's emotional intelligence is not high, but he really doesn't like players like this. In addition, Chris Paul, his younger brother from the same city, is confused.
Anyway, as Kobe has been focusing on defense and assists recently, Paul actually replied when he was interviewed.
"Does it have anything to do with me how he plays? I don't care at all, I just care that we win."
Fuck!
Kobe almost vomited blood after one sentence of retort, but luckily he didn't force Paul to join the Lakers. With his character, he wanted to rebel!
The Lakers' record this season is not very good, and the Clippers are a bit strong, but Los Angeles belongs to the Lakers. How can you, a player who has only been here for a short time, have the nerve to say that!
"So...you mean, our next round of competition..."
"Of course, you will meet the Clippers at home in the next round. I think the Clippers need to accept a little punishment."
All right!
Don't think that only LeBron can do things like brotherhood, Kobe can do it, and Lin Shaojie can do it too!
Lin Shaojie expressed that he had received everything and what he could do, of course he would continue as usual.
As the first game in March, the Pacers playing at home never had to worry about whether they would be taught how to behave by the Clippers, but with today's fight...
The outside world may not be too optimistic about the Pacers' expectations. Everything still depends on how the league's top management handles it.
The next day, everyone who was still training received news from the league. Hibbert was suspended for two games and the other players were fined $35,000. It was no big deal!
After receiving the confirmed news, Hibbert turned into a happy beast, and his happy voice could be heard in the training gym.
It was just two games, one at home against the powerful visiting Clippers from the Western Conference, and the other against the weak Raptors.
Yes, the Clippers this season are the strongest in the Western Conference, and they dominated the Lakers in Los Angeles.
Entering March, the entire month's schedule is very friendly to the Pacers. Even though there are nine away games in the seventeen games, compared to the Heat's consecutive back-to-back games, the Pacers are undoubtedly lucky to have only one back-to-back game.
The Clippers also won two consecutive games in the previous game. Although there is a gap in the records between the two sides, Chris Paul is one of the few teams in the league who has not yet had a head-on collision with Lin Shaojie.
Team.
So on the day of the 1st, the Conseco Arena was bustling with activity.
A group of "secret agents" who came to watch the game expressed their dissatisfaction. The league's punishment was too weak. If all the players involved could be punished, they could even be punished for a few more games.
Now only Hibbert is being punished, which really has no impact.
What about West?
Where's Lance?
Tens of thousands of dollars are nothing to these players, it’s nothing!
In this game, the Pacers played Mahinmi at the center position, replacing Hibbert. The Clippers played Paul, Griffin, Jordan, Butler, and Billups.
Well, this lineup is really not bad and the configuration is very good.
Especially Chris Paul, his performance this season, if not for the sudden emergence of Lin Shaojie, would have been absolutely eye-catching.
But as the old saying goes, stars cannot shine during the day.
Apart from this, the Clippers also have a certain advantage in the interior. The lineup of West and Mahinmi is not as attractive as the combination of Jordan and Griffin.
Paul is by no means just a player who only relies on his brain to play. Although he is of average height, his talent is not bad, his scoring ability is not bad, and he shows no mercy at critical moments.
If there is anything lacking in No. 13 of the Pacers, the biggest ones are physical talent and explosive scoring ability.
This is also recognized by everyone. They are both players with high golf intelligence, but it is a pity that they have never met head-on.
In this game, is it the Pacers' No. 13 who suppresses the situation strongly, or is it the Clippers' Paul who is experienced and sophisticated?
Everyone is waiting to see.
During the warm-up before the start of the game, the two sides did not have too close communication, and it was all about fast in and fast out.
Chris Paul has actually been observing Lin Shaojie since he debuted. As early as when LeBron called for brothers, he was keen on it.
After all, the positions of the two sides overlap, just like the competition between him and Rondo back then, they never interacted with each other until death!
But look now, Rondo is out for the season. Anyone who fights against my current number one point guard, Paul, will not end well.
Take a closer look, the Pacers' rookie's voice at home is no worse than his own!
He just threw a few balls in a pretentious manner during the game, and the fans exclaimed loudly in a dignified manner!
Thinking about his title as the three-point contest champion, that guy's accuracy is really accurate!
When the game started, during the jump ball session, the Clippers got the ball first. Paul carefully paid attention to his opponent's steal as soon as he got the ball.
But Paul discovered that the person guarding him was not Linn, but George Hill. This was a bit disrespectful!
Paul, who was dribbling the ball halfway through the court, completed a quick release. Griffin, who was inside, received the pass in mid-air. The first goal of the game was to perform a sky slam dunk in Conseco Arena. It was so arrogant!
But who would have expected that Paul George actually completed the interference first. Griffin in the air did not receive the pass smoothly. The basketball that was lit flew a little far, and was then grabbed by the Pacers' No. 13.
"Why is he in that position?"
Chris Paul was a little confused, and he also discovered that the Pacers' No. 13 did not hold the ball, but quickly handed the ball to George Hill and ran towards the Clippers' half.
Do you want to play without the ball?
Chris Paul guessed!
In fact, many teams are facing this problem. If a player like Lin Shaojie plays without the ball, who will defend him? After much thought, the most suitable one is Hamilton.
But how old is Hamilton now? Even if other players have such physical reserves, talents, mentality, spirit, etc., can they match it?
Many people know that Lin Shaojie, who mainly plays without the ball, is a boring and efficient scoring machine, very scary.
Sure enough, George Hill, who was dribbling the ball halfway, immediately passed the basketball to Lin Shaojie. Chris Paul simply couldn't keep up with the opponent's passing speed.
Another Paul George even took the initiative to provide a rare screen for Lin Shaojie, allowing the latter to successfully get rid of the defender, and then cut inside to face Griffin's defense.
Griffin, who was a bit reckless, found after taking off that Lin Shaojie broke through and scored the ball at the critical moment, as if he was afraid of him.
Mahinmi just scored a simple dunk, and when he landed, he high-fived the big guys in the team to celebrate.
"Well done, Ian (Mashinmi)!"
Chris Paul found that if he wanted to be like Lin Shaojie, he might not be able to do something as simple as this, and would probably be more fancy.
When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Chris repeated his old tricks again, trying to beat Griffin, but facing Mahinmi and West, Griffin had a little difficulty.
Paul George's defensive deterrence ability inside the three-point line is not small, and the Clippers' offense in the opening was not smooth.
Fortunately, Chris Paul made timely adjustments, and he was constantly cutting inside to look for opportunities, either by himself or by passing the ball.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers trailed the Pacers by a slim margin.
14 to 16
The two sides seemed to be fighting back and forth, but in terms of simplicity and efficiency, the Pacers still gave people a clear tactical idea.
For the Clippers, as the commander, Chris Paul is unshakable. The Clippers' talent on the court and their ability to play in isolation with the ball are not as strong as imagined.
The inside line, which is clearly more dominant, seems to have not shown its due strength. I wonder if the players are not used to it in the Conseco Arena.
At least Jordan and Griffin really didn't perform well. Overall, the Clippers didn't play as smoothly as the Pacers, but it was okay, at least it was organized.
Lin Shaojie did not use defensive tactics against Paul and seemed to give his opponents many opportunities.
Although Chris Paul's defensive strength is not weak, many players know that Paul's defense is not clean at all and has many small moves. Without these, his threat on the defensive end will be reduced a lot.
On the contrary, Lin Shaojie gave many players a very good impression on defense. LeBron did not make irresponsible remarks in this regard. The Pacers rookie relied on hard power to defend.
So many people want to see the head-on collision between these two.
After half a quarter of the game, Lin Shaojie knew it in his heart. No matter how much he watched from the sidelines, it would not be as real as this half of the game.
No wonder the Clippers, who won a brilliant record in December, have now fallen to third place in the Western Conference.
Paul's strength is indeed good, but the integration within the team is not as good as expected!
The Pacers quickly made adjustments. The positions of Lin Shaojie and George Hill were exchanged. The meeting between Chris Paul and the Pacers rookie was officially launched!
Chris has thought about many situations, and he has heard many. But it is because of his height that he broke into the NBA and achieved his current results.
Although there is no championship around him, Chris Paul is also recognized as a great player in relevant positions.
How good is this "big guy"? He is one of the best among the current players. Of course, with the entry of a certain rookie into the league, he is now either the second or third best player!
I remember when I said goodbye in London, the boy opposite me left a deep impression on me.
He knew that the opponent was very talented. LeBron didn't say it, but it was obvious. Wade also said it, and Anthony made no secret of his recognition of this rookie's strength!
So when Chris was attacking with the ball, he took the initiative to speak when they met on the official NBA court.
“I heard that you are ‘military training’ for every national team teammate?”
"Who said that?"
Lin Shaojie asked rhetorically.
"Everyone said so, your performance was great! But it's a pity that you met me."
Chris Paul, who was changing his pace quickly, wanted to complete the breakthrough. However, compared with last year, the rookie at this moment was rich in experience, completely ignored his fake moves, and had a calm and composed aura.
When Chris wanted to break through, he found that the change of direction he was proud of didn't work at all, and the steps under his feet were a little jerky. The opponent was not just defending with his hands.
Every part of the body, including the body and feet, is defending. If you move slower, you will definitely be intercepted by your opponent.
Steal?
Chris Paul then remembered that the rookie opposite him was not only the current assist leader, but also the steal leader this season!
Data can enlighten the blind!
In fact, it is obviously difficult for Lin Shaojie to steal the ball from Chris Paul's hands.
Paul is far more sophisticated than Irving. The former knows his threat of stealing, so he keeps the ball low. But for Lin Shaojie, he does not necessarily need to steal. It is enough to block Chris's shooting and passing.
Chris Paul knows that his hope of breaking through is gone, and now the only way for him is to pass the ball.
But that guy's body and arms completely blocked his sight. The feeling of being "blinded" was as frightening as being unable to see the future.
Everything he could see was the shadow of the other party.
Although his figure is not obvious from the outside, the pressure on the court is too great. If there is no one to respond, Paul will not be able to complete high-quality passes!
"Chris!"
Chris Paul was relieved when he heard the voice from his teammates and sent the basketball out.
At the critical moment, Billups was still the best. After the latter completed the response, he quickly shot and scored 2 points for the visiting team.
It is at this critical moment that the veteran shows his due value.
But the Clippers, who were originally relatively well-organized, turned into a tactic that relied entirely on the players' individual strengths in subsequent games. No, there was no tactic at all.
Lin Shaojie's blockade of Chris Paul only allowed his opponent to play well for half a quarter. In the rest of the first quarter, Chris Paul only received one assist.
As for scoring, don't think about it for now. The huge gap in strength and height between the two sides reminds Chris Paul of his fear when he first entered the league, facing Wade and Deron.
"Is he so perverted?"
When he came off the court in the second quarter, Chris Paul couldn't believe it. He only scored 8 points and 4 assists in such a long time.
The score on the court also reached 40 to 27. The 13-point gap made the Clippers look very passive.
Looking at the substitutes of both sides, the Clippers' Crawford may not look fancy, but his scoring efficiency is really high!
Caron Butler, a small forward, is really stretching his hips. He has only made one shot so far, which wasted Chris' assist.
It is true that this "Butler" played too inefficiently when facing Paul George.
Let’s look at Danny Granger, the former “boss” of the Pacers. It can be said that he and Butler are close opponents and will meet good talents.
He has been on the field for almost ten minutes and has only made two goals. However, his teammates have given him great support. Whether it is a substitute player or a main player like George Hill, as long as Danny Granger has a chance, everyone will
Stingy passing.
Thinking back to when they faced the Pistons on the court, the Pacers were so brutal in rebounding. They almost lost the game after having so many more rebounds than their opponents. The Pacers' culprit was the former "Son of Indy."
In this game, Granger's scoring efficiency was indeed not very good.
After halftime, watching the two sides level the score once again, Danny Granger, who was sitting in the locker room, took the initiative and said.
"I'll take a rest in the second half."
"Don't worry, the Clippers are average."
Lin Shaojie comforted: "Except for Chris (Paul) and Jamal (Crawford), the performance of other players is very average, and so is Blake (Griffin). We are the owners of Conseco Arena, others
Worry."
If one game gave Danny Granger a chance to practice, but so far, he has had the opportunity to practice in three games.
Granger was deeply moved by the respect shown by the Pacers for him, even if Lin Shaojie, a popular guy, did something impeccable.
"Okay!, I'll try my best!"
Granger said helplessly.
The feel of this thing is really too mysterious.
"In the second half you can try to stay with David (West), it's closer to the basket."
Lin Shaojie thought for a while and said: "Paul (George) and I will attract players. Your chances are definitely good. Try again."
In the second half, players like Danny Granger actually started to try a power forward style of play. Although it gave people a clumsy feeling, their scoring efficiency suddenly increased.
Mahinmi is completely an engineer, he is fighting for Granger's living space under the basket.
George Hill sitting in the audience could only lament, why is it him again!
As his opponent, Chris Paul found that in the first half, Lin Shaojie, who only invested energy in defense and mainly played without the ball, was not very efficient in scoring. The role of "bearing" was obvious.
But in the second half, he went straight to the inside and was too lethal.
Griffin and Jordan can't rush to the three-point line for a long time. The paint area is their world, and other Clippers players can't restrict No. 13 at all!
Even Chris Paul himself felt his scalp numb.
Taller stature gives opponents excellent sightlines;
The faster speed gives him the freedom to break through and get rid of the defense with ease;
The soft touch is a powerful tool for projection...
bounce......
strength......
Only when the two began to go head-to-head on the court did Chris Paul begin to realize how scary this rookie was.
The most desperate thing is that the rookie is feeding Danny Granger the ball with a mentality of toying with them.
Facing Griffin and Jordan's defense in the paint, he would always turn seemingly dunk opportunities into assists at the last moment.
Even David West, who stood beside Granger, benefited a lot from this.
Granger only scored 2 goals in the first half, and hit 4 goals one after another in the third quarter.
Until the end of the game, this player who was recovering from injury and looking for touch scored 14 points, all of which were given hand-in-hand.
At that moment, Griffin looked at Chris Paul!
"Brother, can I also enjoy such a game?"
"Of course... no!"
If the third quarter of the game was about the Pacers playing with Granger, the "inefficient" scoring did not widen the gap between the two sides.
Then in the fourth quarter of the game, Granger's exit was regarded as releasing a semi-complete Pacer, which was fatal to the Clippers.
Lin Shaojie returned to the state of playing without the ball in the first quarter, but this time he was not a "bearing," but a crucial fort.
Just catch the ball and shoot, completely ignoring the defense.
No matter where it is.
There was a ball that almost completely hung on Chris Paul's arm, but Lin Shaojie, who jumped in the air to change hands, simply relied on one hand to complete the final shot.
The koala-like Chris Paul "celebrated" the technical foul and gave him a big gift package.
At that moment, the top three point guards in the league knew that winning this game was impossible.
When the final buzzer sounded, Chris Paul could only say one thing to LeBron.
"I'm sorry, little emperor! I can't do it facing Lin En at this time."
Lin Shaojie smiled slightly. He believed that Kobe would see all this.
As the powerful Clippers in the Western Conference, they were unable to win the Pacers at Conseco Arena. The Pacers, who only lost one game at home this season, had a good start in March!
In terms of statistics, Lin Shaojie has started to climb up step by step.
