My basketball vision is different

At Staples Center, Kobe Bryant looked relaxed as he sat courtside.

But under this relaxed demeanor, his smile became more and more restrained.

Although I haven't contacted Lin Shaojie for a while, they still had a lot of online communication after they separated from the special training camp.

The game between the Lakers and Pacers will not start for a long time, and it is not certain whether he can come back at that time, but the overall strength of the Clippers this season is far better than the Lakers. This is an indisputable fact, and even Kobe can't deny it.

The Pacers No. 13 on the court started with great momentum. The first two goals were in an away game, but they played the away game as if they were home.

Usually it is when the game is nearing the end or halfway through the schedule that the fans will turn around and applaud the stars who have performed well in away games.

On the one hand, they really played well and conquered the away fans; on the other hand, they were ironic towards the home court, whether it was directed at the coach, players or management.

But for the first time at Staples, applause erupted within the first minute of the show.

This is not only because of the players themselves, but also because of Kobe’s support at the scene.

There must be die-hard Clippers fans, and there are quite a few of them, but these seemingly scattered applause have long since eliminated the Clippers' home court advantage.

Envy?

Kobe has received countless applause here. No matter he loses or wins, this is his home court and he is used to the applause here;

Jealousy?

Kobe himself is already "aging old," approaching the age of retirement. Even if his body recovers well, being able to play for another two or three years is a luxury.

The career of the little guy in front of me has just begun, but it has already begun to enter the explosive period in advance, which is far more dazzling than his "green years".

It seems that there is indeed a trace of jealousy in my heart, it is human nature!

Hate?

This really doesn’t exist. If it does, it’s because I regret myself. I hate that such a body is always a little bit worse in terms of health.

Just a little bit.

In the first half of his life, all he dreamed about was to win the championship. Later, all he longed for was to defeat that "fat man." When everything came true, God seemed to begin to gradually take away the power and blessings given to him, and life became full of chaos.

Regret.

Kobe has already felt that time is passing faster and faster, as if every second on the court is getting faster and faster, the points that were easily obtained in the past have become difficult, and the opponents have become more and more difficult to deal with.

Kobe knew that his body functions were beginning to deteriorate. Even if he had too much training in his daily life, it would be difficult to stop this decline.

When Shaojie Lin scored his 18th point in the first quarter, Kobe knew one thing very clearly, that is, it was impossible for the Clippers to defeat the Pacers and Shaojie Lin like this.

Maybe simple shooting or dunking can't kill the game. Everything that looks tough is actually a disguise, just like Garnett, whom Lin Shaojie "praised" before. No matter how strong a player is, he can only win one championship. Maybe in Kobe's heart

, Garnett is just a pseudo-super giant.

But the toughness in front of him is genuine, his shooting is sharp, and his momentum on the court is unmatched.

Isn’t Chris Paul strong?

How could it be possible that the point guard that even Kobe Bryant yearned for was not strong?

But a player whose height is less than 1.9 meters and 1.85 meters is questionable, and a point guard who is not very talented. Facing a big bug like Lin Shaojie, it is like being abused.

It was like when Paul was taught how to behave by Deron when he first entered the league. No, it was far more embarrassing than that time.

In the eyes of reporters, it was at least a close game, and the first quarter was one-sided.

Lin Shaojie's preemptive strike after the opening game allowed the Pacers to have almost all the ball in his hands.

Although Paul George, the second in command of the team, had a chance to take a shot, after missing two mid-range shots, Lin Shaojie gave up on him and left it to himself.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was the Clippers and Lin Shaojie's extremely high shooting percentage, the 18 points he had scored so far in the first quarter would easily be reminiscent of a data brush.

However, Lin Shaojie, who was effective on the defensive end, cut off the Clippers' internal and external connections. If it weren't for the "twin towers" Jordan and Griffin inside to grab a few goals, the Clippers might have swallowed a big duck egg at Staples.

.

Before the rotation in the first quarter, the score of 21 to 10 made the Clippers' officers look pale, but the Pacers' officers were all smiles.

When Lin Shaojie came off the court, Kobe stood up and clapped with him.

"Well done, little rookie!"

"The little rookie will torture you now without any discussion!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"When you are healed, wash your butt and wait for me."

"What do you want to do?"

Kobe pretended to be terrified.

"Go away, I want to kick your ass, you dirty-minded guy."

Frank saw that his disciple and Kobe had such a good relationship, but he felt worried in his heart.

There shouldn't be too many cases of players being "hooked up" by their brothers in the league. Isn't that what the Heat's Big Three are like?

Besides, the Lakers are far more attractive than the Pacers, and Lin Shaojie’s short video industry is located in Los Angeles. There is no way that this popular fried chicken can continue to stay in Indiana!

Who hasn’t dreamed of the Big Apple or Hollywood?

Frank was a little worried. He felt that he needed to discuss it with Larry Bird and come up with a new plan as soon as possible. Since the league has had "Bird Rights" and even "Rose Clauses," why can't there be a "Lynn Clause"?

There are many outstanding rookies in history, but it is almost impossible to find someone like Lin Shaojie. Moreover, the Pacers have also benefited a lot from his personal commercial value. I don't think other teams will stop this kind of thing.

Unless, they want to grab it themselves.

As for whether Frank has ever worried about "reaching the peak after debut", he must have worried about it, but the Pacers' psychological counselors and trainers have expressed it.

The No. 13 player from China is in excellent physical condition and mentally healthy. How can such a player encounter any "rookie wall?" It's refreshing to see how he played in this game.

If you still have to worry about this state, then there is no need for other teams to play.

When Gobert came on as a substitute, he still didn't recover. He watched the game for a long time.

Lin Shaojie's offense and defense when he was in charge made the Clippers miserable. During the team's pre-game mobilization, Frank and McMillan said a lot, but the summary is:

"When unpredictable things happen on the court, please choose Lynn..."

The tactics are clear and concise, making it impossible to refute. There are too many elegant words that are difficult to understand, and the cliché ones are just that.

"Give Lynn the damn ball!"

Gobert didn't know if he was overly concerned. He always felt that Paul George was a little disappointed at that time.

After all, as the current "leading scorer" of the team, Paul George's average of 29 per game is still very dazzling.

But everyone in the team knows that Lin Shaojie, second only to Paul George, scored 27 points with fewer shots and is the undisputed core of the team.

Not to mention those exaggerated and comprehensive statistics, Paul George only had the advantage in scoring, while Lin Shaojie crushed the "second best" in the team in the other four categories!

This also allows the other Pacers players to play easily without consuming too much physical energy.

After many previous games, the times when we need to work hard the most are actually "substitute time" and "garbage time." Isn't it ridiculous?

Gobert, who came on the court, stood firm. From the corner of his eye, Lin Shaojie, who was sitting firmly, was wiping the sparse sweat on his body.

France Tower always felt that Lynn wanted to "make trouble" today. At least the 18 points he scored in the first quarter made everyone understand.

For Lin Shaojie, scoring is a matter of whether he wants to or not, not whether he can do it.

"Clang!"

Paul George's shot hit the basket and Gobert, who was fighting with Jordan inside, was squeezed out by his opponent.

What a pity!

Gobert felt that if he jumped a little later and exerted enough strength, he could grab the offensive rebound.

As a rookie, Gobert has to admit that his sense of rebounding is not as good as that of No. 13 on the team. If it weren't for his height, that guy could play in all positions, just like "Magic" Johnson.

General.

But even so, looking at the guards in the league, including those swingmen, Lin Shaojie's rebounding is still unique.

Even if we only count offensive rebounds, Lin Shaojie is likely to be among the top ten in the league.

Lin Shaojie's dismissal allowed the two sides on the court to enter a normal rhythm.

Chris Paul's performance also became normal. When the flowing style of play extended from the Pacers to the Clippers, and the two sides were playing back and forth, Rivers, who was sitting off the court, became calmer.

What was the name of the things we fought earlier? This is the normal rhythm, okay!

Is the team that the Clippers spent so much money to build just to be abused by you?

But facing a Pacers with half of their substitutes, the Clippers, who only rotated Jordan alone, were 50-50 with the opponent?

Soon, Rivers discovered something was not right about the form on the field.

Although Scola did not make many achievements and directly scored, why should such an "expired" product be evenly matched with Griffin?

Many of Scola's good shots went to Stephenson, who felt hot outside the paint area.

In Paul George's "cold" moment, someone from the Pacers took over the gun.

And what's going on with Gobert? Is this big man from France so fierce on the court?

Facing the buckle of "Gelifen", can you avoid it?

But watching Gobert being knocked out and giving the opponent a chance to make a free throw, the "Stupid Youth" was equally fearless the next time. Frank didn't know what medicine Lin Shaojie gave Gobert before going on the court to make him

No scruples.

Is that guy a wizard who can cast poison?

Gobert knew very well. Lin Shaojie secretly told him before he went on the court that although Griffin was very brave, he was injured and could not hit the basket again and again. As long as he was not afraid of fouls, he could hit three goals at most.

Guys will be honest.

Sure enough, as the core general of the "Lob City", Griffin seemed to have no hesitation in trying to dunk Gobert when he hit the inside for the third time, but when the basketball dunked on the rim, it bounced out.

Gobert knows.

He succeeded.

Griffin got three extra penalty opportunities during this period. Gobert suffered three fouls in just a few minutes, and this is where he lost the most points.

But everyone can see that the Pacers have not lost their momentum at all. The French tower seems to be a "stupid young man" who wants to commit six fouls on the field.

In the fourth time, Griffin made a shot.

He hit the target!

Gobert didn't hit the inside, but grabbed the defensive rebound and screamed to the sky!

"ah!"

The audience looked at it inexplicably. Wasn't it just a defensive rebound? It looked like it had not been grabbed. Isn't it a shame?

Another dazzling aspect of the Clippers is Crawford. He is a master of rough-and-tumble battles and has Paul "waiting" on his side. He can fight very powerfully.

The most important thing is that this guy has a very good touch. When he is accurate, he can hit the mid-range shot with great accuracy, and he can hit a three-pointer from time to time.

The same offense, but the Clippers gradually caught up with Crawford's performance.

Soon, Scola was replaced. The Pacers, who were not weak in momentum, had some problems in the offense. During this period, Stephenson was the support, and Scola could only serve as the central axis.

The replacement of West showed why he is the starter.

Taking the ball in the same position, facing the Clippers' interior twin towers, West's strength and rhythm coupled with his mid-range shot made the team go ballistic.

Most of the balls passed by Stephenson were turned into assists, and Gobert was completely used as a rough guy in the interior.

Not to mention, the effect is awesome!

In the last three minutes of the second quarter, West scored 9 points by himself. Before the halftime break, the score was evenly matched again.

51 to 40.

The 11-point deficit allowed the Pacers to enter the locker room with a smile on their face.

"Kobe, what do you think of the first half?"

Kobe looked at the reporter he was familiar with and replied: "How can I watch it? Of course I sit and watch it."

A moderate joke has ended. Kobe Bryant, the "topic killer", actually has this side?

Is this about transforming into a "stern-faced comedian"?

"I was joking just now. In fact, the Clippers played well in the second quarter. Of course, they played badly in the first quarter. The most important thing is that they did not effectively restrict Linn. Instead, Paul George

If he didn't perform well, the Pacers might have ended the battle in the first half. Today, Linn was full of firepower and in great condition.

I think Rivers will restrict Lynn in the second half, such as sending Chriss and Green to double-team him..."

Reporters were not allowed to enter the locker room, but presumably it was a tactic like this. Lin Shaojie only played for ten minutes and scored 18 points. His offensive efficiency was frighteningly high.

If we let him play in the second half, the 11-point difference will never be the final result.

When players from both sides "returned as kings," Rivers indeed adopted the most "cruel" double-team on Lin Shaojie, but instead of Chris Paul, it was Green and Dudley.

As the brain and core of the Clippers, Paul obviously cannot waste useless efforts on defense. If a player like him wants to rely on his own strength to defend a tough guy like Lin Shaojie, he obviously has to make some small moves.

But everyone knows that Lin Shaojie is not someone to be trifled with. He is obviously just a second-year "freshman." There are very few people in the league who dare to confront Lin Shaojie head-on.

Now that Green and Dudley are being sent openly, Rivers wants to try.

However, Lin Shaojie did not serve as the main attacker after coming on the field in the second half. He once again gave up the opportunity to second-string player Paul George.

Paul George, who is gradually recovering his touch, has become an offensive weapon on the court. His taller stature and shooting point make him appear more calm in the offense.

Lin Shaojie's passing is very comfortable, and he has many choices when facing double teams, but Paul George is still "preferred by him!"

Seeing this situation, Rivers knew that his double-teaming had no real effect.

Lin Shaojie is not the type to be stubborn. When he faces double teams, as long as his teammates can catch his passes, it will be of no use to anyone.

Unlike Kobe who was sitting off the court, if he hadn't thought hard and passed the ball more, Kobe would have achieved far more than he is now, but he wouldn't be the Kobe he is now.

I don’t know how many fans like to watch Kobe, who is stubborn and even mentally ill, playing one-on-one, one-on-two or even one-on-three on the court.

Even if there is continuous blacksmithing, Kobe is never afraid. The little blacksmith never lags behind others in such things as "blacksmithing"!

As for Lin Shaojie?

He can attack and pass the ball himself. He is playing with his brain unless there is no other way.

Although you can drop back to break double teams during the offense, you can pass the ball and there are experts like Paul George or West on the team to support you, so why bother to put yourself through hardships and waste physical energy.

Soon, double-teaming, a tactic that places more restrictions on superstars, became the most useless.

Rivers was forced to replace Crawford and remove Green.

The worst performers on the court today were Willie Green and Gerald Dudley. The former only scored 2 points and felt colder than Paul George;

Although the latter scored ten points, as a small forward, he was useless defensively. Instead, he made three mistakes.

Why did Lin Shaojie's 18 points come so easily? It's not because these two made so many mistakes!

Crawford's appearance was the beginning of an offensive battle between the two sides.

Neither Paul nor Crawford are big players, but Chris Paul can act according to the situation and try to avoid Lin Shaojie if he knows he can't beat him.

Crawford was not timid at all when facing George Hill and played decisively.

The fans at the scene were very happy to watch.

When the Clippers were attacking, Crawford on the wing got the basketball and immediately took action after Griffin got in position.

"Whoosh!"

Get it by two points long.

It was the Pacers' turn to attack. Lin Shaojie quickly rushed to the Clippers' three-point line. Griffin rushed up and faced the opponent's empty inside. The basketball in Lin Shaojie's hand was thrown directly from behind his waist.

Paul George received the basketball in front of the free throw line and went straight to the basket for a three-step layup. Facing this powerful dunk, Jordan had no choice but to fight it.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

The Pacers returned a two-pointer.

Although the score difference has not widened, it has not narrowed either.

When Lin Shaojie leaned towards Crawford's side in defense, when Chris Paul tried his old trick again and tried to pass to Crawford, he immediately faked a shot.

Paul immediately turned his gun and passed the basketball in his hand to Griffin.

"You've been fooled!"

Before Paul's smile fully bloomed, Lin Shaojie, who was clearly leaning towards Crawford, rushed directly in front of Griffin. As soon as the latter received the ball, he didn't have time to adjust and was slapped down by Lin Shaojie's big hand.

"Crack!"

The basketball was hit hard on the floor. Although Griffin wanted to bend down and grab the ball immediately, Lin Shaojie, who had slender arms, grabbed it hard with his fingertips. The basketball changed from a sport to a well-behaved child. Lin Shaojie was instantly

Throw it out.

From stealing to launching the long pass, Lin Shaojie spent almost no time.

Griffin was very angry. His speed was not slow, but his hands were just a little bit shorter.

George Hill received the pass from the outside and rushed into the Clippers' half.

Finally, the attack ended with a very gentlemanly layup.

After one in and one out, it was a four-point difference. Rivers immediately called a timeout, obviously trying to stop the Pacers' touch.

After a brief pause, the personnel did not adjust.

Chris Paul dribbled the ball forward, and Crawford and Griffin attacked from inside and outside at the same time, attracting the Pacers' attention.

Paul's dribbling was very steady. When he saw Lin Shaojie coming forward to defend, he immediately took action. With Crawford's timely return pass, the Clippers used a two-on-one to get around Lin Shaojie's point.

In fact, many team defenders have considered using this method to avoid the defensive pressure brought by Lin Shaojie, but the reality is that few teams have two top defenders, and the Pacers have a lot of defensive pressure, so

There is no such tacit cooperation.

Chris Paul, who finally found a breakthrough space, used his flexible movement to get rid of George Hill's defense and went straight to the inside.

It's a pity that Roy Hibbert jumped early. Paul still had a lot of things to offer. A master's low layup completely evaded Hibbert's defense.

West was restrained by Jordan on the side, and he lost his position.

Paul, who successfully scored a goal, clenched his fists and waved his hands while shouting loudly.

"continue!"

He seems to have found a little bit of a way to defeat the Pacers.

Rivers saw a bright spot from this offense. Although Crawford is a "ghost" all in one, it is undeniable that his skills are fine.

If this guy can spark a spark with Paul, it might be possible to beat the Pacers.

The Pacers' counterattack came quickly. Lin Shaojie's breakthrough with the ball was like a gust of wind, making all Clippers players feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

But Lin Shaojie, who was wandering along the three-point line looking for opportunities, made consecutive dribbling changes to shake away Crawford. Of course, Lin Shaojie shot.

Why not take advantage of such a good opportunity and save your energy for the New Year?

Crawford watched his opponent's shot helplessly. From his body shape, gestures, and Lin Shaojie's slow retreat posture after landing, he knew that Lin Shaojie's shot must be interesting.

"Whoosh!"

With the Pacers players looking happy, Crawford reluctantly retreated and the Clippers reorganized their attack.

The two sides were going back and forth, and the fight was very lively.

Facing the Clippers under one-on-one defense, Lin Shaojie made sure to hit four consecutive three-pointers, which made the Clippers want to die.

Although both sides played very efficiently, after four attacks, the Clippers scored eight points and the opposing shooter scored 12 points.

Rivers had no choice but to let Paul act according to the situation. If possible, he still had to put some pressure on the guy.

What Paul can do is of course follow the rules.

But looking back, when faced with a double-team, Lin Shaojie made a decisive move in the first time and took the two defensive players off guard by retreating for a long two-pointer. His subsequent attacks were all based on passing the ball.

host.

Next to the paint area, West received the ball and took a mid-range shot. His touch was second only to Lin Shaojie on the team. In a short period of time, the two of them almost took over the team's scoring.

Will the teammates complain?

No, this is either a data show or a real battle, but both sides are very efficient. Other Pacers players are also worried that their poor touch will affect the overall situation.

The score difference is obviously getting wider and wider. No one wants to be this "evil guy!"

You know, the current Pacers belong to Lynn's team, and Paul George, the second-in-command, must also work with everyone.

In fact, only the "second child" knew in his heart how hard he worked on the defensive end. He knew very well in his heart that he must have "credit" for Crawford and Paul to play so smoothly.

But Lin Shaojie is always focusing on the defensive end and putting more energy into the offense. Why should he be willing to be a green leaf, working hard and putting forth effort.

But before Paul George could recover, Chris Paul, who was dribbling the ball, repeated his old trick, trying to bypass Lin Shaojie through tacit cooperation with Crawford.

But Lin Shaojie's sudden acceleration and counterattack actually interrupted the Clippers' attack.

"I'm going to suffer!"

Rivers could see it clearly from the sidelines, and felt a thump in his heart, feeling something was vaguely wrong.

The flashy style of play displayed by the opponent caused everyone to run back and forth on the court. Under the cover of extremely high offensive efficiency, a group of players played very casually, but they lost 1 point to their opponents in every round.

Everything can be seen clearly by everyone.

Lin Shaojie obviously didn't let the Clippers players shoot three-pointers. After so many rounds, the point difference was once again widened.

This time it was the Clippers' turn to attack, but they returned without success. If the Pacers scored another goal, they would have been out by 5 points inside and outside. Adding the previous point difference, they would have to go to 15 again this time.

Do you still want to play against the Pacers in the fourth quarter?

It's not that simple.

After completing the steal, Lin Shaojie rushed forward quickly. Chris Paul tried his best to interfere, but his "small body" obviously couldn't stop him. Some of Lin Shaojie's foul moves were ignored by the referee during Lin Shaojie's seemingly normal running.

Lin Shaojie suddenly braked in front of the three-point line, causing Paul to run straight into him.

But it's a pity that Lin Shaojie made a fake move when he stopped suddenly. He waited until Paul slipped past him and staggered to the sideline before he calmly took action.

"Whoosh!"

The three-pointer was another success. Everything was as Rivers expected. The butcher's knife in the hands of the Pacers was already on top of the Clippers' heads.

A 15-point difference!

In the next round, although Chris Paul wanted revenge, he even forgot the pain that Lin Shaojie left him with in the first quarter.

But when he couldn't break through and had to pass the ball at the last moment, Rivers knew that Paul had given up.

Usually at this time, Paul should be in a strong shooting state, but today Paul is "cowarded!"

Griffin caught the ball in a hurry and didn't even have time to cover it. He also knew full well that Paul was upset.

Facing West's sophistication, Griffin used his short hands to block the opponent's shot. Lin Shaojie, who grabbed the backboard, made a long pass. Paul George, who was running on the front line, finally started the game in this quarter.

After going back and forth twice, when the score difference exceeded 20 points, Rivers knew that the general trend was that the Clippers were going to "sink."
