My basketball vision is different

Durant's explosion at home was obvious. He led his teammates to crush the Pacers and became the star on the court at that moment.

Even with Durant's character, he was a little excited after scoring consecutively. Under his thin body, the excitement and excitement were already revealed in his eyes.

Especially in the one-on-one match with Paul George, Durant didn't even feel the pressure exerted on him by his opponent. As for the Pacers' inside line, in the eyes of a "flexible" person like him, he was not much different from other teams.

big difference.

Sturt inside and throw out, take everything and seize it!

But when the Pacers took the initiative to call a timeout and came back, Durant suddenly discovered that Lin Shaojie was actually standing in front of him, becoming the core of the Pacers' defense against him!

The reporters and fans at the scene applauded one after another. This kind of "versus-general" drama was what they really wanted to see. Barkley, who was broadcasting the game, was also very happy.

"The Pacers finally made the right choice. Although Paul George is a good player, we all know that the guy's injury is not complete. Lynn is the best player to defend Durant.

Of course, in terms of height, Lynn is still a little behind, but I think with his strength and speed, he will definitely limit Durant, let's wait and see."

Smith, who was sitting aside, also smiled and said nothing. Although he didn't know how much Linn could restrict Durant, but through the battle between the two last year, Smith could infer that Linn had some restrictions on Durant.

special abilities.

Unless Lynn wastes his talent this offseason and becomes another shooting star at the peak of his career.

But more than a month has passed, and the Pacers have used their record to prove that the core of the team is not a shooting star, but a star, a dazzling star in the American professional basketball!

The two people who became the focus of the court acted as if no one else was watching. Durant did not dare to dribble in front of Lin Shaojie, but made some sideways movements to protect the ball.

The two had played against each other last season, and he knew very well how good Lin Shaojie's stealing ability was.

Others may not be able to start with his dribbling skills. His slender wingspan and hand feel make Durant a big colander and steal machine on the court without his height. On the contrary, Durant can still rely on his wingspan.

Completed steals and blocks unexpectedly.

But the Chinese in front of him is different from other glamorous beauties. Lynn, who has not entered the NBA and has not received professional training, can rely on his talent to make some "extraordinary" moves in the Olympics. After entering the NBA

, it’s as elusive as the secret to opening the “heaven and earth”.

The progress has been so great that Durant doesn't dare to take risks!

He had already watched the video of Lin Shaojie's previous game. What the analysts have made clear is that this is an all-round warrior who cannot be underestimated. If Durant becomes the first player in the league, this is the mountain he must climb.

Passed.

As for Durant's conservative ball-protecting action, Lin Shaojie silently praised him in his heart.

With the opponent's dribbling height and frequency, as long as he sees a "weakness", Lin Shaojie is confident that he can insert one hand into the opponent's usual dribbling and complete the steal. Even if it doesn't work, he can still adjust his center of gravity when the opponent is ready to shoot.

Completed a fierce steal before.

This is something Lin Shaojie can do, and to some extent, it is even easier than for shorter players.

It's more difficult to steal Chris Paul than Durant, but the former's offensive threat is not as good as the latter's. Du's talent is too exaggerated. With such height, wingspan and such touch, God adds

Wrong point!

Durant in front of him took the safest approach, but his slight weakness in strength prevented Durant from squeezing Lin Shaojie away to gain shooting space.

Du, who was equally good at lateral movement, lost this advantage in front of Lin Shaojie, leaving him with seemingly only one way to pass the ball.

But after training and hard work during the offseason, Durant will not give up just yet.

After turning around, relying on his body and arms, Durant still gained the precious shooting space and immediately started shooting. However, Lin Shaojie standing in front of him didn't seem to even make a defensive move.

"Did I move too fast and the other party couldn't keep up?"

Just when Durant was confused, Lin Shaojie turned around and watched the basketball in Durant's hand fly higher and higher, and then suddenly broke into the paint area.

As Ibaka, Perkins and others competed in the paint, Lin Shaojie, who was the first to gain position, took the lead and grabbed the rebound in front of the tall insiders.

The person hasn't landed yet, and he doesn't even make a move to look back.

The basketball in Lin Shaojie's hand was instantly forgotten. The ball was very fast and landed right in front of George Hill.

The Pacers' guard received this second pass and went on a fast break alone. Facing the empty defense, George Hill made an easy hit!

Frank stood up and applauded off the court. The effect of the timeout was immediate. He and others had seen Lin Shaojie's mid-air pass more than once.

When it comes to grabbing defensive rebounds, if Lin Shaojie can get it first, then the Pacers' fast break can be launched immediately, because the opponent's attacker never imagined that the Pacers' counterattack would be so fast.

The power of "stealing the bell" is as fast as lightning.

It was so sudden!

Durant missed the shot and looked at his hand. It felt good, so why didn't he make the shot?

"You think I can't hit the shot? So I don't have defense?"

Durant asked beside Lin Shaojie like a curious student.

"No, I think your actions just now are very standard. Even if I defend you, it's useless. Instead of doing this, it's better to grab defensive rebounds.

You know, I have to shoulder the responsibility of offense and defense, and only get one salary, which is quite tiring."

Lin Shaojie's almost joking words made Durant look full of disbelief.

I believe your ghost, "Mr. $50 Million" has become a thing of the past. You are more stingy than Kobe, will you have no money?

However, it seems that Lynn, who is earning a rookie salary, really doesn't earn much on the court. Compared with his role, his salary is just cabbage price.

After the Thunder resumed serving, Westbrook faced Stephenson's rough defense and finally squeezed out the breakthrough space. However, he saw Lin Shaojie rushing over with eager eyes and immediately passed the ball.

He didn't want to go one-on-one with Lin Shaojie. Even though he was a bit thicker than him, muscle size was not the same as strength. The two had met before, and there was still a gap in strength.

After all, the opponent is a pervert who only increases strength but not muscle. In Westbrook's mind, Lynn is a more difficult and troublesome opponent than LeBron, but he still maintains excellent flexibility in body shape.

Sex, that's the body shape a basketball player dreams of.

If muscles are accompanied by strength, they will increase exaggeratedly, which will completely affect the feel. Therefore, many players exercise moderately, for fear of losing their feel, such as: Durant!

Seeing Westbrook's timid pass, Lin Shaojie, who was assisting on defense, did not run in the direction of the basketball. Instead, he immediately ran towards the free throw line. Durant was standing in that position.

.

Sure enough, Sefolosha, who was the target of Westbrook's pass, passed the ball immediately after receiving the pass, passing it from the top to Durant on the wing.

But unfortunately, when Durant caught the ball, Lin Shaojie was already standing in front of him, preventing "35" from the possibility of hitting the inside immediately.

Even though Durant is slender, but with his height, he can cause far more damage in the interior than others. If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't like to fight in the interior, with his speed and flexibility, coupled with his footsteps and

As for shooting, most insiders will be applauded by him.

Moreover, there are rumors that Durant's physical fitness is worrying, but Lin Shaojie doesn't think so.

In the Thunder, Durant can be regarded as both a father and a mother. The "second son of the Thunder" looks at the scenery and knows the pain in his heart. It is normal to consume a lot.

Besides, Durant's physical fitness also depends on who he compares with. Compared with a talented monster like Westbrook, Durant's weaknesses are of course infinitely magnified, but as a professional player, he can only play in his 30s or 40s in the regular season.

minutes easily.

Except for playing less than 35 minutes in his rookie season, Durant averaged close to 40 minutes per game in the previous seasons.

It's even more exaggerated in the playoffs, with playing time exceeding 40 minutes. Last season, it even exceeded the average of 45 minutes per game.

For such a professional player, do you think he has poor physical fitness?

joke!

Therefore, Lin Shaojie's defensive strategy against Durant has always been to force the opponent to consume every ounce of energy, regardless of whether he has the ball or not. The presence of such a player with the ability to score explosively is an invisible bomb that may explode at any time.

The first half or the first 30 minutes can be continuously consumed. By the end, it will be unrealistic for Durant to maintain an efficient feel.

As for Lin Shaojie himself, he is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.

The disadvantages are self-evident. The physical talent is not as good as that of the opponent. If you want to defend successfully, you must put in more effort than the opponent.

But his own advantages are also obvious. In addition to his height, wingspan and other static talents that are slightly inferior and being crushed, his athletic talents have an even greater advantage and his vision is even more unique!

So Durant, as the main attacker of the Thunder, after returning from this timeout, gradually began to feel the same feeling that Westbrook had before:

Not feeling well Ski!

If he wants to catch the ball in the frontcourt, he can, but if he wants to successfully receive the pass, he needs to keep running.

Not only that, he also needs to constantly make evasive actions on the court.

Lin Shaojie's defensive strategy is not simply to prevent breakthroughs but not shots, or to prevent shots but not breakthroughs. No matter what Durant does, he is always "dilly-dallying," which can be summed up in one sentence.

"Shoot, I'll follow you, but if you want to shoot the basketball easily, it's impossible, you have to spend time and energy!"

Durant also gradually discovered that he made a lot of preparations for shooting, and he had to try his best every time he took a shot;

His breakthrough is still sharp, and the opponent seems to have a hand, but it is impossible to get away in one step. He will always keep going in and out of the three-point line, and finally he can get a little space.

But when Durant broke through, No. 13 was following him like a ghost, making him uncomfortable no matter what.

Durant, who originally had a very high efficiency, was abruptly hit from 70% to less than 50%. After the basketball was released.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

This is the rhythm. In short, it is not smooth. Compared with the continuous scoring after the opening, the gap is too big.

On the other hand, the Pacers' offense, under the control of Lin Shaojie, was steady and steady.

There is still no wind or rain, but "winter" is coming.

Whether it's George Hill shooting from the outside or West shooting from the inside, there is no glamorous scene, just plain and simple.

The Pacers are very much like the Spurs, they are solid and kill their opponents every minute and second.

"This can't go on like this!"

As the head coach of the Thunder, Scott Brooks watched the score difference between the two sides drop from double digits to 5 points now. For both sides on the court, such a score difference is almost non-existent.

Both the Thunder and the Pacers have the ability to change the situation in an instant.

From Durant's outburst in the first quarter to now, the situation has fallen into the Pacers' rhythm. If it continues, Brooks believes that Durant will not be able to compete with Lin Shaojie in the fourth quarter.

Even though Lin Shaojie hardly took any shots in the first quarter, he continued to consume Durant's physical energy. Such a smart player obviously knows who is the biggest threat to them on the court.

As for Westbrook, the Pacers have one trick to deal with him.

Prevent breakouts but not throws.

If you want to shoot, I'll pretend to block it. It's up to you whether it goes in or not. But if you want to break through, there's no way.

If Westbrook had a decent mid-range shot or three-point shot, Brooks would certainly not have so many worries.

But I don't know if Westbrook is too strong. At least on the back line, his shooting percentage is indeed not in line with his level as a top combo guard.

But his destructive power against the opponent's inner city construction is superior to others, which is really painful and happy!

By the time halftime ended, Scott Brooks didn't even have a smile on his face when he saw that there was only two points left between the two sides.

54 to 56, the Pacers were only two points behind.

Durant scored 22 points in the first half of the game, but except for the first five minutes of the game, when Durant scored 14 consecutive points, Durant only scored 8 points in the remaining nearly 20 minutes.

Under Lin Shaojie's defense, Durant, a player with such an efficient scoring efficiency, only had this few points.

Moreover, Brooks also knew that Lin Shaojie was not so much defending as he was constantly consuming his physical energy. In the first half, he did not enter the state of "seeing red with swords and swords". He was really waiting for the cruel scene of the Thunder.

Watch the second half.

Fortunately, the Thunder still maintained a slight lead and did not ruin the good situation.

Take another look at the data in hand.

Not bad, Lin En on the opposite side seems to have only scored 9 points, one 3 points, and three 2 points, which is barely acceptable.

But looking at the opponent's 100% shooting percentage and the dazzling 14 assists behind him, Brooks thought of Westbrook's 6 points and 4 assists.

Looking at it horizontally, he no longer knew what to say.

Westbrook had the most shot rights in the team. After Lin Shaojie took the initiative to switch to Durant's side, the Thunder's most important defender gained a lot of shot rights, but just look at the final score.

Diarrhea!

Facing Stephenson's defense, Westbrook's chance was not good. It rained all night and almost killed Brooks...

Frank on the other side patted Stephenson on the shoulder in the locker room. The latter knew that the coach was very satisfied with him. Although his score was not high, he still played an important role on the court.

He couldn't withstand Westbrook's offense, but the latter's efficiency value didn't show up, which allowed the Pacers to play with ease. This can be seen from the point difference at the beginning of the game to the almost tie now.

Barkley, who was commentating on this game, and his old partner Smith took advantage of the break and said with a smile.

"Look, the Pacers didn't even see an explosion in the first half. They just kept hitting scores like 10-6, 9-5, etc., and slowly smoothed out the huge point difference.

Why do I feel that the current Pacers are becoming more and more like the Spurs?"

Smith then agreed: "Indeed, I also have this opinion. The calmness shown by the Pacers is rare among Eastern teams. I have not seen it in the Heat. They seem to be the only ones in the league who can do this.

At first watching Durant's performance, I even thought this game would be a Waterloo for the Pacers, but I didn't expect that after halftime, the Pacers actually tied again."

"Yeah! Didn't you see that Linn played very steadily in the first half? Maybe the fans don't like this kind of stability because it's not dazzling enough after all, but I think there should be no coach who wouldn't like such a player.

?

If I were to take charge of a team and there was a player like this in the team, I would give him an absolute core position..."

"Really?"

Smith asked back: "But I think Frank thinks the same way. Lynn has absolute ball rights in the Pacers, which is difficult for others to replace."

"Not even Paul?"

"Yes, neither can Paul!"

Paul George once again got a chance to play in the second half. Frank and even his teammates still trusted him. As for Stephenson, he sat helplessly on the sidelines.

The main reason is that Lin Shaojie also hopes that Paul George will try again if he doesn't catch a cold.

Durant watched as the defender in front of him was replaced by Paul George. After the start of the second half, the Pacers played a good fast break, and finally Paul George hit a lucky ball.

The basketball bounced on the basket several times and finally fell into the basket.

2 points!

Now it's the Thunder's turn to attack, and Durant is not worried about Paul George's defense.

The continuous changes in the direction of his hips forced Paul George to adjust his center of gravity. Durant, who was dribbling for more than two seconds, made a breakthrough. Paul George had to retreat, but soon he discovered that everything in front of him was

It's a fake move.

Durant's fake moves were so realistic that he had no real eyes. With Durant's height, few people in the league could prevent him from making such moves.

After finishing the step back, Durant responded with a three-point shot from the outside.

The extremely high shooting point made Durant full of confidence, and Paul George could only follow the basketball with his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

The Thunder regain the lead!

But before Durant could celebrate, he pretended to be in front of Paul George. After receiving the serve, Lin Shaojie took the lead and got rid of Westbrook's personal defense.

Durant was entangled by Paul George, and an alternative pick-and-roll allowed Lin Shaojie to break through to the Thunder half in a few strides.

Ibaka and Perkins, who were crowded in the paint area, jumped up one behind the other, blocking Lin Shaojie's opportunity for a direct dunk.

After an emergency stop, Lin Shaojie restarted and "threw" himself completely in one step. From extremely fast to stopping, and then to taking off quickly, it only took a second. However, Lin Shaojie relied on his own talent to do so.

Done...

accelerate;

brake;

The process of accelerating again.

With just one step away, Lin Shaojie jumped into the air in an instant, holding the ball with one arm for a windmill dunk, which completely pinned down Ibaka, who was starting to fall.

"This kid can really dance!"

Ibaka and Perkins landed one after another, and Ibaka, who was standing in front, felt tragic.

The rounded windmill on No. 13 was played in front of him blankly. The chests of the two colliding with each other made a muffled sound. The feeling of shortness of breath caused Ibaka to even be a little unstable after landing.

"This boy is so tough!"

Ibaka took a step back and touched his chest. This ball was definitely one of the top ten. He was facing a dragon and he dunked it so beautifully. His striker was about to become a backdrop.

The audience at the scene did not expect that the two sides were originally playing shooting, but No. 13 on the opposite side did not follow the routine. At the beginning of the second half, he completed such a powerful dunk one minute later.

If other people's windmill relies on inertia to swing the ball, then Lin Shaojie relies entirely on holding the basketball with his big hands and dunking.

It can be seen that catching the ball and "catching the ball" are two different concepts.

Just like an ordinary dunk is like a windmill, Lin Shaojie's is like a tornado. There is almost no run-up. After stopping, he takes off again in one step to complete all the actions. He also uses the time difference to press Ibaka under him, and he is fierce.

!

Explosive power, core strength, balance, and flexibility are almost all the most exaggerated in active service.

In the next round, Lin Shaojie took the ball to the three-point line alone and waved his hand to tell everyone that he was going to shoot a three-pointer with this ball and asked his teammates to get out of the way.

One-on-one, Durant was close to each other, and Westbrook beside him could only pretend to help defend, standing further away under Durant's gaze.

But when Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball and took off, Durant's whole body was covered in front. His slender body and slender arms almost blocked all Lin Shaojie's shooting space.

Faced with this kind of shot that was almost straight up and down, Durant suddenly discovered that Lin Shaojie had a very obvious closing movement. When closing his hand, he also moved slightly laterally, which was almost equivalent to two dodges in the air.

Although Durant's defensive area is large, it is close to a slender "i," and the horizontal width is not enough.

He initially thought of guarding against the opponent's retreat, but when faced with Lin Shaojie's dodge and fold-up movements in the air, unexpectedly, Lin Shaojie's shot evaded almost all of his defensive space.

A shot that was almost a fusion of skill and talent made Durant's heart drop to the bottom.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the exclamations of the fans at the scene, Durant looked at Lin Shaojie opposite with his mouth curved and smiling.

"How did you do that?"

"It's very simple. Jump up, hide when you see a defensive player, and then decide whether to shoot from the left or the right. It's very simple."

Seeing Durant's confused look, Lin Shaojie added.

"Want to learn? It's very simple, I'll teach you!"

┗(t﹏t)┛

"Backpack Du" wants to scold the public. Although his flexibility and technical movements are rare among strikers of such a height, if he wants to compare with Lin Shaojie in terms of details, he is not as good as the opponent.

This is a very "fine" player, Durant is ashamed of himself!
