My basketball vision is different

In the semifinals, the Pacers defeated the Bulls in three consecutive games. Every expert who analyzes the details after the fact can find that in addition to the injuries of the Bulls themselves, the Pacers can dominate this series.

, it’s really defense.

Due to the lack of outside shooters and poor off-ball performance, the Bulls in front of them can only strengthen the mid-range and offensive inside opportunities, and this is exactly the Pacers' strength.

Lin Shaojie and Paul George's defense, coupled with the presence of Hibbert and West on the inside, especially David West, who is full of intimidation when healthy.

Even when West went off due to injury, the Pacers still had Mahinmi and Hansbrough as supplements. Especially the latter, although his ability was limited, his passionate defense made him perform well in these series.

It's eye-catching, and many teams are interested in him as a substitute player.

The main reason is that it is extremely cost-effective. The Pacers have two Hansbroughs and one power forward, Tyler Hansbrough. With an annual salary of 3 million, he is worth at least 6 million;

Ben Hansbrough, another supplementary to Lin Shaojie, is a defender with an annual salary of less than half a million dollars. He has not had any good opportunities this season. In most cases, he is replaced by Lance Stephenson.

Appear.

No matter what, the Pacers still have good stuff on their bench, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are very cost-effective.

The Pacers rely on this lineup of main players and substitutes who can give their best, bringing an almost suffocating defense to the current Bulls, making it difficult for the Bulls to score, and even set a record for the lowest score in a single quarter in team history.

Now, the Pacers are only one step away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

For the Bulls, even though they were at home and most of the fans sitting on the sidelines were from their own family, they couldn't feel the slightest joy.

Tom Thibodeau has already started thinking about the Bulls lineup for next season.

From this series of games, Thibodeau confirmed one thing. Nate Robinson, who performed well in the first game, is not suitable for the current Bulls. When encountering a master of perimeter defense, Robinson's role plummeted.

In the chaotic battles of the regular season, Robinson can win by surprise. The small man's "powerful miracles" are very interesting and can attract fans. However, in the real battlefield like the playoffs, Robinson's existence value is much lower.

In the recent two-round series, it was too difficult for Robinson to score a point;

There is also Belinelli, the "Queen Bee" from Italy. He is a typical traditional point guard on the back line. He can shoot and pass. He has a strong sense of anticipation, but he has low talent and is an inspirational type.

players.

Being too conservative and lacking in adventurous spirit is somewhat inconsistent with the current Bulls. Belinelli, who has been seen through, also lacks the ability to play against the Pacers because of his "steadiness".

Lin Shaojie's more talented performance completely suppressed him. Thibodeau must find other players, other more talented players to transform the Bulls.

Of course, Belinelli is far more reliable than Robinson during the regular season. If there is no choice, Thibodeau is still unwilling to give up this relatively stable player, but his upper limit is here.

Thinking of the "mask man" Hamilton who can play in this game, Thibodeau can only lament that time flies by. Even if it was a year or two earlier, he would have had enough confidence to let Hamilton take advantage of it.

However, the aging masked man's physical condition is deteriorating, and he has "suffering illnesses," which makes him feel a little painful. Besides the five million annual salary, Thibodeau is still thinking that if it doesn't work, he can just terminate the contract and make room for the Bulls.

Free up salary space to sign better players.

Before the start of the game, the starting lineups of both sides were announced. The Bulls were still the same as the old five. Fortunately, there was one more Richard Hamilton on the bench, which was an unknown favorable factor.

For the Pacers, David West has finally been confirmed to be on the court after repeated confirmations. The Pacers' starting five are reunited once again.

Before the game, the Pacers' medical team also followed each player for testing.

Everything the Bulls have shown is an example to the Pacers. No matter how good the lineup is, it can't withstand injuries. When no one is available, the coach can only watch.

As the core of the core, Lin Shaojie performed very well in various physical tests. The body fat content of 7% is very suitable for Lin Shaojie. The original body fat of 6% increased slightly after Lin Shaojie gained weight.

But everyone in the team can see that Lin Shaojie's "stamina" has increased instead of falling, and the whole team has benefited from this.

Looking at all the players on the opposite side, it would be a lie to say that Thibodeau didn't feel a little bitter. Fortunately, the Pacers got this through regular season rotation, and others had nothing to say.

Hibbert was beaten again before taking the field.

"This is our last away game. I don't want to go back to home and win again. If you want to rest for a few more days and then stand on the inside, look at Noah, you can do it."

Hibbert was shocked by Lin Shaojie's seemingly plain, but actually "ferocious" eyes.

"I promise to do it!"

Lin Shaojie didn't say anything, he just punched Hibbert twice on the chest with slight force before he came on stage.

Lin Shaojie's appearance also caused the home fans to give him huge boos. This is how the core of a hostile team should be treated.

Although full of confidence, Hibbert lost the jump ball to Noah, who gave the Bulls the advantage.

Nate Robinson just broke into the half court and saw Lin Shaojie standing not far away, staring at him eagerly. George Hill, who was guarding him, would not leave him a chance to break through unless he shot from the outside.

It is impossible to break through. Robinson knew very well that if he did this, the Pacers' No. 13 would not let him go. He would definitely rush over and give him a big block or steal, so...

"To shoot, Robinson did not pass or break through. He chose to shoot directly from outside the three-point line!"

Yang Yi, who was commentating on the game, exclaimed that Robinson was very lucky. The opening goal exceeded the expectations of all the players on both teams. Robinson, whose three-point ability was only 30%, actually made a bold shot in front of the Pacers.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

The basketball that hit the rim rebounded and fell directly into the net. Robinson helped the team score a three-pointer in the opening game. If the ball did not go in, Thibodeau sitting off the court would probably curse.

Who gave him the courage to play like this?

Sure enough, as long as you are brave, the class beauty (girlfriend) will take maternity leave...

It was the Pacers' turn to attack, and George Hill was also in good condition. After Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball to attract double-teams from two players, he immediately transferred it to his hands. In two consecutive rounds, a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, George Hill.

Hill hit all of them.

But on the defensive end, George Hill was really not satisfied with Robinson, who wanted to "explode" in this game. Without Lin Shaojie's defense, his breakthrough would be unsolvable for George Hill.

Despite his small stature, he is full of strength and taste, and George Hill can't guard him!

As for Belinelli, Lin Shaojie's main defense, there was no room for improvement at all. In half a quarter, he only scored 2 points from a mid-range shot.

On the one hand, there are few opportunities to get the ball. On the other hand, even if Belinelli gets the ball, it is difficult to have room to perform. Another synonym for stability is mediocrity.

Everyone knows it, and everyone is good at it, but they lack unique skills and are targeted by "experience absorbing monsters" like Lin Shaojie. After this series of games, it is clear how much Belinelli weighs.

The gap in strength and wingspan between two people with similar body shapes makes Belinelli always stretched when facing Lin Shaojie, whether offensively or defensively. Although this has been done many times in the previous three series,

The fourth game was still the same, and Thibodeau could only shake his head helplessly.

In fact, it is not just Belinelli who has this problem. There are too many players in the guard and even small forward positions of other teams in the league who face this problem.

Who can fix Lynn?

This is not a question, but a fact that many teams have explained over a full season.

Just like the Thunder in the Western Conference, that loser man who has the height of a power forward or even a center, but plays small forward.

Bug-level players don't just talk about it, it's a "respectful title!"

If Robinson's "flash of inspiration" allowed him to be occasionally impressive, Boozer, who had been sluggish for three games, became the "star of hope" in this game.

Hibbert and Noah acted as a "pair" in the paint, neither making it easy for the other. Noah's bloodiness and Hibbert's impetus collided, almost leading to mutual destruction.

Boozer found a presence in David West.

Boozer, who started with the Cavaliers, found his self-worth with the Jazz, and then continued his career with the Bulls, is younger than West, but entered the league earlier.

Boozer, who was born in the famous Duke school, is more famous than Xavier University in West (Xavier is not Professor X's school).

The two are the same height, but Boozer, who is heavier, seemed to be back to his peak in this fourth game.

Jimmy Butler has an inexplicable connection with Boozer, especially the former. He is obviously a substitute, but he has found a suitable position for himself in the Bulls and demonstrated his value on the playoff stage.

After Butler got the ball, he was actually able to shoulder Paul George's defense and pass the ball to Boozer smoothly, allowing the latter to complete the offense inside.

If he was just like Robinson, it would be nothing more than an occasional flash of inspiration. When situations like this happened one after another, Lin Shaojie knew that he had to make adjustments.

"The Bulls seem to have found the key to victory. Under tremendous pressure, will they win a victory?"

Yang Yi looked at the score on the court. The two sides were actually tied. The anxious game filled the court with an urgent atmosphere. Even the substitutes sitting on the sidelines were a little nervous.

Thibodeau looked at his opponent and called a timeout, then looked at Boozer, feeling somewhat happy in his heart.

The Bulls still have people they can use. Look at Jimmy Butler, who looks exactly like Jordan. He was almost on the bench during the regular season, but he finally found his value in the playoffs.

In the last few games alone, Butler has shown that he is as talented as Belinelli, Robinson and others. His initiative on the court, hardware talent and fighting spirit are better than both. This is a player worth cultivating.

players.

As if Thibodeau had discovered a treasure, he patted Boozer and then patted Butler hard.

Although he only scored 6 points, which was far less than Robinson's 8 points, he gained the coach's trust at the critical moment!

In the Pacers, Lin Shaojie suggested that he and Paul George switch defenses, or invest more energy in the paint.

Lance Stephenson looked at coach Frank expectantly, and occasionally glanced at Lin Shaojie, shouting in his heart.

"Boss, look at me, look at me, I can look after that little dwarf, George Hill can't, pick me!"

Lin Shaojie seemed to have noticed it and raised his head, smiling at Stephenson: "Lance, are you okay?"

"No, I'm listening to the coach's tactics!"

Lance Stephenson replied seriously, and George Hill glanced at this temporary "opponent," "Little guy, you don't think I'm blind and can't see it, do you?"

Frank actually wants to replace George Hill. His offense is indeed good, but his defensive performance is not that good. Let's see!

However, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to suggest that it is feasible. If Butler opens up this point, he and Paul George can switch defenses.

When the two sides came back to play, the defensive switch was cancelled.

Because the Bulls sent out the strongest fighter on their bench - Richard Hamilton.

"Hello, old man!"

Lin Shaojie greeted him warmly with a joke. Hamilton patted Lin Shaojie in a dignified manner, but soon separated. The two sides were still on the battlefield!

Hamilton's appearance gave the Bulls more changes, and Belinelli, who was substituted, had no complaints.

The Italian was really annoyed by the Pacers' No. 13, and he also wanted to see how Hamilton would fight against that super pick.

From the moment he came on the field, the thirty-five-year-old masked man never stopped. He knew that his opponent's endurance was very good, and he was already old, but if he didn't work hard after recovering from injury, this might be the end of his life.

In the last game, Hamilton has never been the kind of player to let others take advantage of him.

The two guys with similar body shapes seemed to be outside the regular lineup, and their physical running became an unknown element outside of the regular combat power.

Until the second quarter of the game, Hamilton did not dare to stop because he knew very well that although his body shape seemed to be the same, his strength and speed were much inferior to that of his opponent, and stopping would mean failure.

This is not a basketball game, but a contest of physical fitness and willpower.

Robinson felt much more comfortable, like a fish back in the water. Without Lin Shaojie watching over him, he could finally attack George Hill.

After two rounds, Robinson scored another 4 points on George Hill.

"Paul (George), help defend."

Lin Shaojie shouted while running, and Paul George let go of Butler slightly and turned more attention to Nate Robinson.

He didn't ask Butler what to do, he knew that Lin Shaojie must have paid attention.

Thibodeau sat off the court and watched the game until the second quarter, but apart from the two points and one assist, Hamilton had no data at all. But anyone who has watched the game knows that the Bulls were in this game.

A slight lead was already obtained, just after Hamilton came on the field.

His containment ability has brought hope to the Bulls. If it weren't for Lin Shaojie's tight defense on him, I'm afraid Robinson's passing would have made the mid-range master's shot blossom.

Robinson found that his breakthrough had returned to the previous feeling. The intimidation brought by Paul George was not as strong as that of No. 13, but it worked.

There was no other way. Robinson had no choice but to pass the ball to Butler. He was repeating his old trick, hoping that the connection between Butler and Boozer would once again be miraculous, but...

"don't want!"

Before Hamilton finished speaking, Lin Shaojie, who was guarding him, suddenly turned back and ran diagonally in front of Butler. As soon as the latter caught the basketball, he was intercepted by Lin Shaojie.

That big hand was like a "plier", taking the basketball from Butler's hand. The safe approach did not give the Bulls players any room to think. Lin Shaojie, who was still on defense, strode forward into the court.

The speed and rhythm made Robinson, who wanted to make up for his mistakes, instantly lose his position. Although Hamilton had endurance and rhythm, he had no speed. Facing the rising Lin Shaojie, he could only watch helplessly as the opponent got faster and faster.

The farther back.

The only thing the Bulls can keep up with now is Jimmy Butler, another substitute player who can make up for his mistakes. But looking at the speed at which the two are running, Hamilton knows that everything is useless unless Lin Shaojie makes a mistake himself.

After No. 13's change of direction broke through Robinson's defense, he crossed the center line and made a sudden jump shot just before reaching the three-point line. Butler, who was following him, flew up, trying to catch a shot from behind him.

But it is a pity that after completing the first half of the emergency stop jumper, Lin Shaojie jumped up as if he had eyes in the back of his head. He flew out sideways. In addition to keeping his upper limbs stable when shooting sideways, his entire body

They are all leaning to the other side.

Butler could only slide past Lin Shaojie, and then watch the opponent fly in the air and take a three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

"pretty!"

Zhang Weiping clenched his fist and shouted.

"Don't look at it as a simple three-point shot. It requires very high physical fitness of the players. We can see in the slow-motion replay later that Lin's entire movement is not conventional. It cannot be done without the support of core strength.

Of course, this action is somewhat unreasonable, and I don’t recommend other players to imitate it. It will cause great harm to the body, but it can be used occasionally.”

In the replay of the scene, Lin Shaojie's face was dull, except for a little bit of perseverance in his eyes, as if his eyes only looked at the basket, and his whole figure was more like a fallen leaf floating in the air, swaying in the wind.

The Bulls, who originally had a slight lead, returned to within 1 point with the Pacers' three-pointer.

Lin Shaojie has only scored 9 points so far. These seemingly few points are always hits at critical moments.

Especially when other players make mistakes, he always has to make up for it, like a tinkerer.

By the time of halftime, the score difference between the two sides was still between 1-3 points.

Lin Shaojie in the locker room was leaning on his chair, listening to Frank's tactical arrangements. The Bulls' Boozer still played pick-and-roll. He and Butler used the Jazz's style completely. Perhaps for Boozer,

That is already a tactic that goes deep into the bones.

"Offensively, we actually don't lack good players, so in the second half..."

Frank looked at George Hill. The coach hoped that he would make sacrifices. George Hill also thought of this scene. The 8 points he scored could not cover up his defensive deficiencies.

"Okay coach, I understand."

Lance Stephenson on the side was ecstatic in his heart, but there was no trace of it on his face.

Lin Shaojie knows very well that as the core, he cannot be replaced. No matter how good George Hill's scoring ability is, he is still not as good as himself, let alone defense.

Then replacing George Hill will increase the shooting opportunities of himself and Paul George and others, and the data will look much better. Of course, the only one who will be sacrificed is George Hill.

As for Lance Stephenson, he is just a defensive tool. He doesn't ask for much else. Limiting Nate Robinson on the opposite side is the first priority.

"Lynn, can you bear it?"

Frank asked with concern before finally going on stage.

"no problem!"

Lin Shaojie nodded.

"Take care of yourself, you are our greatest hope and future!"

Frank patted his beloved disciple: "Don't let yourself regret just because of a game."

"Don't worry, Richard (Hamilton) can be arrogant for one quarter at most, and I will make him feel empty in the fourth quarter."

Lin Shaojie responded with a smile.

In the eyes of outsiders, although it is a must for a super player to shoulder both offense and defense, it is really tiring. If you invest too much in offense, your defense will inevitably decrease. Otherwise, how can you think LeBron can defend with his eyes while standing on the court.

I'm really tired and need to take a rest.

Kobe's average playing time per game this season is relatively high, but compared to the previous time when he was both offensive and defensive, he focused more on offensive playing time, which did not consume much physical energy. On the contrary, most of the time, defense consumed more physical energy.

After the start of the second half, the Bulls continued the lineup from the second quarter, with Belinelli being pushed off the court. The Pacers also made adjustments, with George Hill replaced by Lance Stephenson.

After looking at it for a while, Thibodeau only felt deep malice!

The current Bulls are plagued by "rough guys" and are full of injuries. Even though it is their home court, they are still leading the team.

But can a 1-point lead be called a lead?

The Pacers even shouted the slogan "A 20-point difference is the safety line." What do you want other teams to think?

After the start of the second half, Lance Stephenson's defense against Nate Robinson made an immediate impact. It was difficult for the latter to break through as violently as he did in the first half, and it was impossible to shoot. Stephenson was much taller than him.

When Stephenson faced Robinson, he was like a weakened version of the Pacers' No. 13 who only had defense. His whole person darkened. Robinson felt the world's malice toward him, just like Thibodeau felt.

Lin Shaojie, who didn't have to worry about defense on the back line, changed from the previous "stable" mode and turned on the "rage" mode.

Rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, and then rapid acceleration again... occasionally mixed with changes in direction.

Hamilton, who was following him, had already heard the alarm sent to him by the aging parts of his body.

"Stop following me. If you keep following me, you won't have to fight. Do you want to be disabled in your next life?"

Everyone could see that Hamilton was desperately trying to defend, but it was all in vain.

Younger, more capable players are appearing in front of them. In the United Center, when you see No. 13 running out of position and facing an empty defense.

Either receiving a pass from Stephenson or receiving a pass from Paul George.

Everyone knows that the Pacers are the only one who takes action, and he is the only one who takes action when faced with one, two, or even three people defending him. But if one person runs out of position, when you take action, you will

All the supplementary defenses that come up are of no use.

It's too late!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

What's even more uncomfortable than this is that Pacers No. 13's shots are mainly outside three-pointers, which are astonishingly lethal, as if they carry "splash" damage.

There were only two points in the mid-range shot, and he went for three-pointers. From time to time, he also performed wonderful performances of 31. The Bulls' defense against him was completely ineffective.

Hamilton was sweating profusely, but his pace did not slow down and he was still following him.

Everyone knows that without her, the Pacers' No. 3 pick would have scored in a more convenient and faster way. It would be like playing hide-and-seek with you on the court like now, having to keep moving to find the right time to take action.

All of Hamilton's performance cannot be measured by data.

"Rookie, can you only shoot three-pointers?"

The panting Hamilton said to Lin Shaojie, who had just completed his shot and hit the target.

He only scored 9 points in the first half, but already scored 18 points in the third quarter. However, due to Robinson's "loss of defense," the Bulls found it difficult to organize an effective offense. The scoring was sporadic and sporadic, which was very similar.

A middle-aged man suffering from prostate disease.

The much-anticipated combination of Butler and Boozer also returned to calm in the joint strangulation of Paul George and David West.

"Brother, times have changed!"

Lin Shaojie responded while retreating.

Perhaps in the impression of Hamilton and even many people, the league is still an offensive method that mainly focuses on breakthroughs and attacking the basket. However, since the decline of centers, breakthrough-oriented players like Rose have also been injured for most or even the entire season.

.

The current league rules are very friendly to the outside. Like the early defensive intensity, if you dare to be "soft" and shoot three-pointers from the outside, believe it or not, all kinds of aggressive defenses will get in your face and make you handsome.

Only three seconds.

Larry Bird may not be the three-point king, but he doesn't average many three-pointers per game. He has been a god for generations. At least the current version of the league is very friendly to three-point shooters.

A player like Lin Shaojie who likes to delve into the rules, study the rules, and make reasonable use of the rules will give you a foul if he doesn't come up. If he confronts you head-on, he will be doing his best.

Regarding Hamilton's "calling" at this time, Lin Shaojie knew very well that for such a veteran, this game might be the last game in his life, the last playoff game.

If you can extend the show by talking some trash, that would be a good idea.

But how could a player like Lin Shaojie, who "respects the old and loves the young", leave Hamilton with regrets?

He had heard Hamilton panting and feeling weak, and of course he was staring at him playing a post-up game at this time.

When Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball, did not take advantage of his open shot, but instead shot Hamilton like a blacksmith outside the three-point line, all the players on and off the court were shocked by the "shamelessness" of Pacers No. 13

!

You and I have been in the wrong age for more than a round. Facing a veteran who is about to retire, you have been running for a long time, and now you are still playing this trick?

Hamilton was in trouble because the opponent could clearly rely on his own pace and flexibility to get around him, but he just didn't.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The continuous hard attacks made Hamilton feel as if he had returned to the Pistons, a defense made of iron and blood, and a sense of pressure from inside and outside that raced against time.

The two seemingly similar figures are indeed one advancing and the other retreating.

The collision between youth and aging is so ruthless.

"Hamilton is doomed."

Zhang Weiping said with emotion.

"Maybe the fans feel cruel when they see this scene, but this is the reality. Heroes are never allowed to grow old in the arena. Age is both an advantage and a disadvantage. When you have experience, you can bully the 'rookie,' but when you are young

When you are old...time is not forgiving!

Coach Lin started to train his opponents on the court again. Look at this ball, Hamilton is out of position, and Butler comes to defend... Oh, Butler, why do you remember to eat but not to fight? You can't take off easily, you

Look at you, giving your opponent two points and then adding a penalty is not okay..."

Zhang Weiping's words were obviously full of emotion, but his expression lit up as he spoke. It was supposed to be a scene of a hero dying, but he suddenly said "Happy Tonight".

Lin Shaojie, who made 6 of 7 three-pointers, helped the Pacers gain the upper hand by running around without the ball. In the last few minutes of the third quarter, he dived into the low post and began to pull Hamilton and others around him.

.

Hamilton had already lost his temper after being beaten by Lin Shaojie, and could only cope with it. Butler's supplementary defense was also due to a lack of experience, giving people a feeling of being clumsy and being played when facing Lin Shaojie.

As long as there are not three people defending, Lin Shaojie dares to take action, and the shot will definitely go in.

When players like Boozer start to help defend the opponent, Lin Shaojie's "second pass" will be sent to Paul George not far away, or to West and Hibbert inside.

The walkers suddenly found their own rhythm, and the bull was led by the nose again.

Lin Shaojie's efficient scoring ability once again made his opponents feel his terror.

Even if Thibodeau called a timeout and rearranged his tactics in the remaining time, it would be useless.

Lin Shaojie continues to amplify the Pacers' advantages in personal offense with the ball and organization.

Especially David West. In the first half, he was taught by Boozer to be a good person, and in the third quarter, he did the opposite.

After receiving the pass, he either turned around and dunked or shot from the front. Boozer suddenly seemed to lose his ability to play and was completely unable to guard.

In addition, Noah was entangled by Hibbert next to him. The two fouled three times in four rounds. The Bulls almost didn't have to play this game. This was at home, so the referee would be merciful, otherwise

The two of them had already committed six fouls.

Thibodeau's eyes also changed from expectant to lonely, to now dull.

Maybe this is what it looks like when hope is dashed.

The Pacers players and coaches sitting on the bench were overjoyed. Danny Granger didn't get much playing time in this game. He and George Hill became close friends.

But the data on the court has shown that the Bulls are about to collapse in the third quarter. The Bulls, who persisted in playing two good quarters, will go home in more than ten minutes. No, this is the Bulls' home court, and they are about to be defeated.

Eliminated.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the third quarter, everyone in the Pacers field began to cheer.

The Bulls' slight lead turned into an 18-point lead for the Pacers. Although it did not reach the safety line, this score satisfied too many people.

In this quarter of the game, too many people seemed to have seen how powerless the Bulls were in the first two games when facing the Pacers.

Lin Shaojie, who scored 24 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, is a well-deserved hero. His rise almost extinguished the Bulls' hope.

And judging by the situation, the Bulls don't seem to want to surrender. After all, this may be their last game, and they have to persist until the fourth quarter no matter what.

Sure enough, when the Bulls continued to field their strongest lineup in the fourth quarter, the Pacers were just like the third quarter, both sides wanted to show their strongest side.

But when Lin Shaojie completed the steal from Hamilton and ran two steps away, he heard a "boom" sound behind him. Lin Shaojie, who had a chance to complete the fast break, stopped and threw the basketball in his hand out of bounds.

Turn around and help the old guy up.

"Are you okay, Richard (Hamilton)?"

He didn't mind being helped up by the other party, and he even had to thank the other party for his current appearance, but Hamilton didn't have any complaints in his heart.

The audience outside the stadium stood up and applauded. They were applauding Lin Shaojie's "gentleman" behavior.

The outcome of the game has become increasingly clear. The Bulls will go home soon. There is no need to think about the outcome of the game. It might as well use the remaining game time to appreciate the beauty of basketball.

Seeing the expression on Hamilton's face change from bitterness to relief, the old guy even ruffled Lin Shaojie's hair as if he was resigned to it.

“I’ll treat you to dinner after the game!”

"good!"

The two separated and the game restarted. Robinson, who received the pass, threw the basketball to Lin Shaojie without hesitation.

"Your balls, I don't want your pity."

That little expression is quite arrogant.

Lin Shaojie patted the ball and slowly approached Nate Robinson. The opponent's expression was slightly solemn: This pretense is too much. If he is run over by the opponent again, this old face will be embarrassed.

"You know Nate (Robinson), with your height you can stand in the NBA. You are the idol of many people."

Robinson's slightly solemn expression looked better. Could this be a little surprise?

"You too?"

"No, my idol is the little giant!"

Lin Shaojie's words made Robinson's expression freeze instantly: "Fuck, I hate you, Lynn, I am a player who has blocked shots on the little giant's head..."

It's a pity that when Robinson was angry, Lin Shaojie squeezed away his opponent with a simple breakthrough on the right side. If Robinson hadn't had a solid "chassis", he might have fallen to the ground. That guy looked the same as Hamilton, but his strength was very different.

Too chicken is so strong.

Watching Lin Shaojie first squeeze past Robinson, then bypass Hamilton, then complete the turn in front of Butler, and finally face the double defense of Boozer and Noah.

At the baseline, Lin Shaojie, who had almost no shooting space, jumped back. The height of the jump was high, the range of backward movement was large, and the shot was firm and graceful.

If it weren't for the Pacers jersey, too many people would have thought that No. 23 had returned to the United Center.

Sparse applause rang out after the basketball entered the frame, and soon became one and resounded throughout the audience.

After that, Thibodeau called a timeout and replaced the core players.

Regardless of whether Butler agreed or not, he was replaced, and he became the core of Thibodeau's heart. Hamilton's "exhaustion" was almost reached, and he was also replaced.

At this time, the point difference has reached 22 points.

Lin Shaojie, who returned to the bench for the first time in this game, raised his head and looked up at the top of the arena.

All that's left is the referee's final whistle.

The game... ended early.

The Pacers...advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!
