The 3-0 series result makes the Pacers' playoff schedule bright.

Lin Shaojie did not attend the post-match press conference. This time it was veteran David West who took the initiative.

"The playoffs are not unfamiliar to me at all, but this is the first time in my career that it's been so easy and we're all working towards that goal... What? You

To say that coach Jim Boylan resigned, well, I think the fault is not mine, he is a good coach, but there are many situations that we cannot meet."

West heard the news for the first time at a press conference. The news from the reporter obviously shocked him, but he knew better than to add fuel to the fire.

When they heard the news from the press conference in the locker room, other Pacers players started booing, saying that Lin Shaojie once again led the team to kill a coach!

What can Lin Shaojie say? He is at most the straw that breaks the camel's back. With the Bucks like this, there are players and coaches who have responsibilities, but don't they have the responsibility of the front office staff?

Lin Shaojie believes that as long as a team aims at the championship, or hopes to go one step further in the playoffs, it must take precautions.

Those who have money contribute money and those who have no money contribute efforts. This is the most basic thing.

Although the Pacers only made fine adjustments, got rid of unsuitable players, and didn't add much, their main players performed very well and their substitute players were very powerful.

Coupled with the rotation, the Pacers can use more time to give substitutes to maintain their condition, and allow veterans and injured players to recover. Injured players like Danny Granger have to be in a limited time.

Give him full trust and regain his status.

But look at the Bucks, they haven't made any big moves. Entering the playoffs can be regarded as their own ability, but do they make any big moves before the player deadline?

During this period, they also added a player who was fairly valuable in JJ Redick, and the others... tended to be nothing!

The Bucks this season are a standard NBA "bastard." If a team like this wants to make a breakthrough, the first thing they need to change is the management. It is completely hopeless. In such a team,

Playing ball is really exciting!

Anyway, Lin Shaojie didn't look at all this with any sympathy.

Of course, Lin Shaojie also hates the title "Coach Killer". Although it is just a joking name, it is not a good reputation.

However, there are also problems with Jim Boylan's command. As a player who relies on his brain to play, Lin Shaojie's response on the court does not affect his review after the game, thinking about the details of the battle between the two sides.

How would Lin Shaojie play in a team like the Bucks?

How should he play against a very smart point guard?

After evaluation, Lin Shaojie felt that if he was in the Bucks, the first thing he would do would be to kill the Pacers' David West, whether it was a foul or a head-on confrontation.

Don't look at the fact that Paul George is the second-best player on the Pacers team, but besides himself, the Pacers' inside anchor is David West. His experience and mentality are crucial.

Hibbert has grown a big man for nothing and has not shown his due strength at all.

If Hibbert really plays in this game, he can "strangle" the Bucks' inside line by himself. As a player who has played against Sanders, Lin Shaojie knows very well that his opponent is "thin and empty".

There is a tall board.

David West's value cannot be reflected in statistics in many cases, but Lin Shaojie on the court knows its importance, and the only one who can be trusted in the inside is him, a veteran.

At the critical moment, Lin Shaojie dared to pass the ball to him, but he did not dare to pass it to Hibbert because Lin Shaojie was afraid of Hibbert's buttery hands.

After taking care of West, Lin Shaojie had time to consider Paul George and George Hill.

Cut the cord between them...

There are many things that Lin Shaojie thinks he can do, but it would be very troublesome for another person to do it.

Jim Boylan suddenly became vocal during the playoffs and quit at the end of the season.

As a head coach who took over the team halfway through this year, if you want to say that he did poorly, no coach would judge him that way. After all, he also made the playoffs.

But when it comes to how well he did, no one agreed. After all, Boylan was still very good as an assistant coach, but as the head coach, the team's record fluctuated too much.

Some people are like this and are suitable to be the second-in-command. There is no difference between a coach and a player. If they were given the position of boss, they would not be able to adapt and would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Boylan, who had already announced that he would resign at the end of the season, has no psychological burden, but this pressure has been completely passed on to the players.

In two days, if they couldn't find a way to deal with it, the game would be over. Their head was shaved off at 4-0, the coach was defeated, and a group of old gangsters who were involved in the "ganghu" also looked unhappy.

What Lin Shaojie has to consider does not exist at all for them. The first thing they have to consider is how to target the Pacers' No. 13.

Regardless of whether it is an inside or outside line, the business is to deal with him first, but after thinking about it, there are only two words.

"No way!"

He has good physical fitness, a stable mentality, and a sharp mind. The most important thing is that he can play and pass. Who is not afraid of a player like this!

The Heat are also afraid!

After the game between the Pacers and Bucks, the series between other teams also ended one after another.

The Heat played against the Celtics on the road, also winning 3-0, but this time it was a narrow victory. Even if the Heat lose to their opponents in the next game, the home court advantage will still be in the hands of the Heat.

The same goes for the Knicks, who won all three games. The Eagles were truly suppressed by Anthony's kaleidoscope of offense.

The Bulls returned to their home court and defeated the Nets by a narrow margin. They actually took a 2-1 lead against the wind. Ruel Deng and Boozer obviously caused no end to the trouble for the Nets.

In the playoffs, the Bulls, who were dominant inside, really showed their ability to make a comeback. The two teams ranked fourth and fifth were the real "Group of Death!"

The strength is similar, and the players work the hardest. Unlike other teams, the paper strength is very different. Now it depends on who in the East can break through first.

In the West, the Rockets, who returned to their home court, were still unable to recover from their decline and gave their opponents a victory with a 3-point disadvantage. At the end of the game, Harden's bitterness could not be expressed in words. In the last game, they were at a three-point disadvantage.

Lost to the opponent, this time again.

Heaven's way is so easy to reincarnate, why should we change it? Why do rockets come to suffer this pain every time?

The Grizzlies, who returned to their home court, defeated the Clippers as Lin Shaojie expected. They almost came back in the last round. This time, the Grizzlies, who had an absolute advantage inside, told their opponents that only Chris Paul was faster.

Boat, they can't win the race.

Griffin simply cannot withstand the opponent's bombardment in the paint. If this continues, the Grizzlies may become a troublemaker in the playoffs again.

Anyway, judging from Lin Shaojie's personal opinion, among the opponents they encountered in the regular season, the Grizzlies really have a great inside advantage. In the fiercely competitive playoffs, the Grizzlies have great potential.

As for the Lakers, they lost miserably at home, and their rhythm was completely taken away by the Spurs. The 3-0 score told everyone that they were nothing without Kobe, and Howard couldn't stand up at all.

Of course, it's not right to say that. Howard is the thick leg of the current Lakers. It can be seen from his scoring, rebounding, etc., that he tried his best.

However, facing the aging GDP trio and the Spurs' team advantage, the Lakers had no one available. With a score difference of 31 points, the Spurs were completely killing each other.

Another comeback against the wind was the Warriors. They actually narrowly defeated the Nuggets again at home, leading their opponents 2-1.

The cruelty of the playoffs is beginning to show one by one that three-point shooters can also defeat their opponents as long as they maintain their mentality.

Looking at the overall situation, in the East and West, the Pacers are "well-deserved," and may be the first to break through. Others, including the Heat and the Knicks, have this opportunity.

Here in the West, the only one that can be seen is the Spurs, and the other families are in complete chaos.

Now let’s see who can seize the opportunity and advance first.

After spending two days in Milwaukee, in addition to training, Lin Shaojie spent some time at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The average undergraduate program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, graduate students, doctoral students and scientific research level are still acceptable in beautiful countries. Many subjects have something in common with Jiangnan University.

After all, there are mostly men in science and engineering, mainly in application and engineering fields. They are pretty much the same at the end. The low-end ones go to the construction site to move bricks, and the high-end ones go to the office to "move bricks."

In addition to being the boss who makes the decision himself, aren't most of them just "laying bricks" for others?

Isn't Lin Shaojie also "moving bricks" for the Pacers?

There is no shame in moving bricks.

Of course, some people are "moving gold bricks!"

On the last day of April, Milwaukee's BMO Harris Bradley Center was once again "full of guests," and in the eyes of most people, the Bucks' path to the playoffs was almost over.

For most fans, it is normal to lose this game, and it is normal to win. Anyway, the Bucks cannot overthrow the Pacers. At most, they can win one game and let the opponent return to their home court and gain a place to advance.

Including the regular season, this is the eighth time the two sides have met, and they are very familiar with each other.

During the warm-up, some of the Pacers' players even felt a little excited. They were about to win and advance to the next round.

Lin Shaojie simply made some shots and layups. There were too many fans in the noisy scene, and the fans who originally belonged to the Bucks also began to cheer for the away team.

After all, the Pacers' games are still very fun to watch, and No. 13 is very handsome!

When the game officially started, although Lin Shaojie, the Pacers' final player, received a lot of boos, there was still applause, but it was a little sparse.

This time at the Bradley Center, there were still fans who came from China. They all wanted to witness the first-round breakthrough of the Pacers led by Lin Shaojie.

Lin Shaojie saw many familiar faces, including Teacher Chen, Jay Chou, Master Huang... there were many people and the reputation was very strong.

But everyone knew who was the only king on the court, so before the game Lin Shaojie simply said hello, and there was no commercial exchange of words. The game was still waiting for him!

The Pacers' starting five are very familiar. The Bucks still have Ellis, Mbah a Moute, Ilyasova and others.

This time, the Pacers switched defensive targets.

George Hill gave Jennings many opportunities in the last game. This time Lin Shaojie and George Hill switched defenses, and Tian Ji raced!

The Pacers are determined to make the Bucks' backcourt completely useless and prevent Jennings from holding the ball properly.

Hibbert succeeded in jumping the ball. Lin Shaojie picked up the basketball and rushed forward quickly. It was still Ellis who defended him.

Faced with a guard who falsely reported his height and weighed less than himself, Lin Shaojie was not worried about this type of defensive player at all. What made him feel uncomfortable was the type of talented players, players with keen intuition, like Kawhi of the Spurs.

He is an outstanding player with his height, wingspan and flexibility.

Ellis is nothing in front of him. After a few games, Lin Shaojie probably knows him better than his teammates.

Although the Warriors traded him in an unreasonable manner, Ellis' upper limit is there. His performance in the playoffs was not stable, and he made many mistakes as a defender, which is definitely not good.

So when Lin Shaojie turned behind Ellis and nimbly turned around, many people were not surprised at all. Jennings' supplementary defense only delayed Lin Shaojie for a second.

Making a cross step in front of Zhannings, Lin Shaojie's breakthrough path changed instantly. With such a simple change of direction, Zhennings almost fell down if his body was not quite agile.

Lin Shaojie, who directly broke into the three-point line, faced the defense of the third man, Mbah a Moute, but how could he stop Lin Shaojie because of his slow movement speed.

The opponent can only "look at the ball and sigh!" when Lin Shaojie steps back to shoot the ball, his backward movement is as light as catkins, and his movements are clean and unrestrained.

Sitting in the audience, Jay Chou's eyes lit up.

It's so obvious that he is professional and non-professional. He is so tall and moves as nimbly as a person who is 1.7 meters tall.

"Whoosh!"

"The Pacers will score first, three points, or three points!"

Zhang Weiping explained excitedly.

"Since entering the playoffs, Coach Lin's hands have been very hot, but all of us can see that Coach Lin is still restraining himself. Except for his playing time of nearly 40 minutes in the last game, he averaged three minutes per game at other times.

Approximately ten minutes of screen time.

During these times, Coach Lin recorded statistics almost every minute, whether it was points, assists or steals. Entering the playoffs, he has a mature mentality and strong adaptability, which is unique among rookies."

The Pacers successfully scored three points and the Bucks served. Jennings, who was advancing with the ball, saw that the player guarding him was replaced by Lin Shaojie. He was just stunned for a moment and did not pass the ball out immediately.

An opportunity to pass the ball.

Lin Shaojie's "baring teeth and claws" defense completely cut off his passing route. His body moved slightly to the left and right, blocking his field of vision. His powerful legs were nailed to the ground, making it difficult for Jennings to move.

Jennings could only turn his back and try his best to protect the ball. He knew that as long as he stopped, he would be intercepted. That guy was ruthless!

As the saying goes, novices should look at their breasts, professionals should look at their backs, and ashes should look at their legs!

No matter what sport it is, more than 90% of it depends on the bottom line.

There are too many players in the NBA who have huge upper body muscles and the waist of a wasp, but when you look at the legs... I think back when the little giants ate and slept while playing World of Warcraft. On the one hand, they were really playing World of Warcraft, but on the other hand, they were also

Really fight "Warcraft!"

Howard was completely helpless in front of the little giant, couldn't stand, and couldn't get any favors!

Lin Shaojie could withstand LeBron's back just by relying on his lower body. The Jennings in front of him, with his numb body, was too fragile in Lin Shaojie's eyes.

Although Lin Shaojie considers himself to be a floor player, a skill player, and a health player, in the eyes of the Pacers players, Lin Shaojie is also a "Warcraft player!"

That figure doesn't look very "strong," but anyone who has faced him knows how cruel it can be.

At the moment, Jennings was suffering greatly. In the blink of an eye, before Ellis had a chance to come over to respond, the basketball on Jennings' "short hand" was pulled by Lin Shaojie's fingertips and was released!

Lin Shaojie rubbed against Jennings and grabbed the basketball. Ellis came over and couldn't even touch his tail. He watched Lin Shaojie break into the penalty area and then "lay the basket" to score.

The height of the jump under the basket is average, but with the upper arm span, the basketball rolls into the basket like an obedient elf.

It felt like Lin Shaojie "put" the basketball in without even using his feet. It was so easy!

"nice shot!"

Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly: "Guide Lin's game is too simple. He can complete the steal in the blink of an eye. Players like Jennings are too weak and cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of point guard."

If the NBA does not have a qualified defender right now, it will be completely useless to knock down the Pacers, and no interior players will be able to catch the ball."

There are a lot of exaggerations in Zhang Weiping's words, but the truth is not far from the truth. Lin Shaojie put pressure on the Bucks' back line at the beginning, and he also took shots when he had the opportunity to attack. Except for the last game, this was Bradley's first time in the playoffs.

Center, needs an adaptation.

Lin Shaojie, who has adapted to this atmosphere and rhythm, crushed the Bucks.

Throughout the first quarter, the Bucks played without any tactics, because they once again fell into a passive position in the backcourt. In the entire quarter, Jennings only got 1 assist and didn't even score.

Before the first quarter of the game was over, Jennings was substituted.

Replacing Jennings was JJ Redick, a former Magic guard who came to the Bucks before the trade deadline.

In fact, in Lin Shaojie's view, although Redick's performance in the previous three games was average, his role against the Pacers was greater than that of Jennings.

Simply height and weight prevent him from being "frivolous" when holding the ball!

Redick did perform better than Jennings on the court. After all, the latter is nearly 20 kilograms lighter than Lin Shaojie. The weight gap between the two sides is too big.

But everything is just better, compared to Jennings.

Just like the previous game, Lin Shaojie stayed on the court with the substitutes to continue fighting with the Bucks. Players like David West still stayed off the court to rest. Lin Shaojie did not want to see the veteran become weak due to physical fatigue at the critical moment.

In the battle, there is no substitute at this time.

Paul George was also replaced by Danny Granger. In the playoffs, the son of Indiana averaged 9 points per game. He played relatively conservatively against the Bucks, but he was still a powerful supplement.

In the second quarter, Lin Shaojie continued to strengthen the defense on the outside and tried to cut off the connection between the Bucks' inside and outside lines as much as possible. There was not much the opponent could do except to suddenly send cold arrows and give hope to God.

The gap in strength can never be made up by spirit. Boylan has already called two timeouts in this quarter.

Ilyasova was also useless inside and had to be replaced by Dunleavy.

The Bucks, who were in a mess inside and outside, can be said to have no inside line at all. In the first quarter, because Lin Shaojie did not defend Ellis, the latter got a chance to hit some magic shots, but the other inside lines have scored so far.

Not as much as West and Hibbert got.

Both the Pacers' main force and substitutes are capable of handling the current Bucks.

The Bucks...will definitely lose!

During the halftime break, the Pacers' locker room was filled with smiles. All the players understood that they were about to take the lead in advancing on the road, and then quietly waited for the next opponent.

There was dead silence in the home locker room of the Bradley Center. Boylan laid out the tactics in a professional manner and then said nothing more.

Throughout the first half, the score was 29 to 47, and the 18-point gap made the situation between the enemy and us more and more obvious. At this time, the total score was already three to zero. It didn't mean much, and the strength was right in front of us.

, everyone can see it.

Jennings lost all his confidence after being beaten, and only recorded one assist in ten minutes. The cruelty of the playoffs made him just want to go home.

Ellis' performance was pretty good. He was the highest scorer on the team with 12 points, but he still only had 3 assists, which explains a lot of problems.

Above everyone's head, there is a big word "Decay" hanging over them.

Among the fans at the scene, Jay Chou was very excited after returning from the scandal, and his friends around him were filled with emotion.

"There are players like Lin Shaojie in China. If one player plays against ten, the Bucks are not enough to watch. They are too powerful."

Jay Chou is also a senior basketball fan. He has watched Lin Crazy's games. Looking at Lin Shaojie now, the feeling of flying into heaven in an instant makes people a little shuddering.

When the game started again, as soon as the third quarter started, Ellis, who came back on the court, hit two long-distance three-pointers from outside the three-point line.

The well-fed and drunk fans at home were a little drowsy at first, but suddenly they became energetic. Could it be that a player was about to explode?

The game is interesting!

George Hill quickly raised his hands, indicating that it was his responsibility, but with his defense...

The high-spirited Ellis was handsome for only three seconds, and as soon as the point difference narrowed to within fifteen points, he was targeted by Lin Shaojie.

Lin Shaojie, who had just completed an assist, approached Ellis when he was retreating.

"Monta (Ellis) is getting stronger and more majestic!"

Ellis didn't know whether Lin Shaojie was mocking him or had other intentions when he said this. It was probably not a good thing.

Ellis kept running, trying to catch the pass from his teammates. Pacers No. 13 deliberately took a step slow to let the basketball fall into Ellis' hands.

"Today we must return with victory, it will be useless if anyone comes!"

Lin Shaojie was watching his opponent intently from a step away. Ellis looked at this young hero who was wearing the away team uniform. Everyone wore the uniform and there was nothing special about it. However, he looked at the opponent's somewhat unruly eyes and felt himself.

There is some momentum.

With his half-crouched figure, he could pounce at any time to complete the steal, and his eyes were not as dull as before. It was obvious that the two previous three-pointers made him unhappy.

It is impossible to break through his defense, Ellis has this self-knowledge, so...

Ellis took off again. The height and backwardness of the jump made it difficult for most players to cover it, but Lin Shaojie rushed forward at the moment his opponent took off, and his fingertips grazed the bottom of the basketball.

"Rebound!"

While shouting loudly, Lin Shaojie rushed to the frontcourt. He believed in his teammates.

Sure enough, Hibbert, a big man, was still useful. The basketball hit the bottom edge of the basket and fell directly. Hibbert, who was tall and powerful, took the lead in grabbing the rebound.

Hibbert, who got the rebound, threw the basketball out of his hand, but the position was a little off. Lin Shaojie, who was running, turned sideways, saw it from the corner of his eye and suddenly changed direction before receiving the "pass," which almost went out of bounds.

!

"It's so exciting!"

Hibbert shrank his head and watched the back of No. 13 receive the pass, take a few steps, and then take off and dunk. At first, Hibbert didn't think it was a big deal. His reflex arc seemed a bit long.

Beside him, West suddenly blurted out.

"Fuck, take off from the free throw line?"

In the empty Bucks half, Lin Shaojie was free to gallop, and Lin Shaojie, who was standing on the free throw line, flew up.

The basketball was tightly grasped by his side with one hand. As he turned around in the air, he held the ball with both hands. It was not until he dunked that he held the ball with one hand...

"What does he want to do?"

Many players at the scene were confused, their bodies seemed to be standing up uncontrollably, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

A 360-degree spin dunk from the free throw line, oh my god!

With that dunk, Lin Shaojie seemed to have completed it easily, and groups of Pacers players became anxious as if they had been pumped.

Stomping his feet and covering his head, he looked like he couldn't believe it.

"If this goal is put in the slam dunk contest, it will be at least 50 points!"

Zhang Weiping said calmly in the commentary box. Yang Yi beside him couldn't believe it: "This is the dunk by our coach Lin?"

"certainly!"

Zhang Weiping dismissed it, and senior Lin Chui instantly went online: "Who doesn't know Coach Lin's jumping ability? Many people in this year's All-Stars want him to dunk, but as a technical player, he can't show off (meat), no,

Showing off talent."

"Isn't this just a display of talent?"

Yang Yi kept his words in his heart, and on the big screen at the scene, Lin Shaojie's god-like dunk was played again and again.

The movements are relaxed and freehand, and extraordinary!

Not long ago, after the Thunder's Durant completed a one-stop dunk, he couldn't help but make a "(singing) throat" gesture, and was fined nearly $30,000.

At this time, does Lin Shaojie also want to do a celebration?

However, Lin Shaojie, who completed the shocking dunk, was surrounded by his teammates. There was nothing extra. His eyes were directed at Ellis, who read his "lips!"

"I'll be watching you!"

It doesn't matter even if Ellis can't read it, he has felt it firsthand.

In the second half, except for the two long-range three-pointers in the opening game to help the team score, the Bucks seemed to be stuck in the quagmire again, making it difficult to do anything.

Ellis himself was blocked in dribbling, passing and shooting!

As if being haunted by "bad luck", my whole body felt unwell, like I was going out in a cotton-padded jacket during a sauna day!

Halfway through the fourth quarter, when the point difference widened to 25 points, Boylan replaced the main players, and the shouts of the Pacers players rang out from the Bradley Center.

Everyone's face is full of joy.

"The game is not over yet, but let us send our blessings in advance. The Pacers have advanced and they have enough time to wait for the next opponent."

Yang Yi shouted excitedly in advance, and Zhang Weiping also concluded from the side.

"April is a bitter-sweet month. At the end of the regular season, the Pacers lost several games due to lineup rotation, but the Pacers entering the playoffs fully demonstrated a playoff team.

The style of a strong team.

Here we want to insert two pieces of news. The Heat lost to the Celtics in the away game, and the Knicks also lost to the Hawks. So in the East, the Pacers will be the first team to enter the second round. Let us again

Congratulations to the Pacers, and congratulations to Coach Lin!"

Until the referee's whistle sounded, all the players rushed to Lin Shaojie.

The promotion task is completed, Lin Shaojie led the team with outstanding results, and the league's major awards will be awarded one after another!
