My basketball vision is different

When the game restarted in the second half, Shaojie Lin's ferocious defense of Harden turned Harden from a "terrorist" into a good boy!

Lin Shaojie has seen Harden without a beard. He is definitely considered a handsome boy among the old black men. However, it is a pity that the title "little fresh meat" is not a popular element in the current beautiful country, especially in the competitive arena.

What you see is muscle and strength, what you see is bravery and majesty.

Little fresh meat is not easy to use, and weaklings are the target of ridicule.

And Harden, who has a big beard, gradually has his own characteristics. Although it is a little inconvenient to eat and drink in daily life, he has the characteristics and can be recognized at a glance. This is a great thing for players who want to expand their market appeal.

Great thing.

Think about how many people were shocked when the old hooligan appeared on the stage with a bald head. It's not that there were no bald men before, but there was no influential player like him. It was still the era of "washing, cutting and blowing".

But Gang Leader Qiao, who was the pioneer, led this sub-trend.

I don’t know where the trend of big beards started now, but there are really not many players who have such thick, lush and recognizable features as Harden.

Lin Shaojie even speculated that if Harden can really succeed in the Rockets, then based on his image, it will be no problem to win a big commercial contract. However, Nike seems to have not taken any effective measures so far.

When Harden began to decline in the game, the Rockets' offensive pressure almost entirely fell on Howard. It was obviously unrealistic for Howard, who was in declining condition, to be both a father and a mother.

In the second half, under such circumstances, West and Paul George received passes from Lin Shaojie, causing their offense to sweep through the Rockets like a flame.

The Rockets, who were troubled by their offense, instantly became difficult to score.

Howard encountered the crazy attacks from Hibbert and West on the inside, especially the latter, who has rich experience and a mature mentality. As long as Hibbert can get his position in advance, West can support him and complete the defense.

Howard, who was alone, had no choice but to pass the ball. Unfortunately, Parsons couldn't catch the ball. Harden on the outside began to disappear again. Seeing that something was wrong, McHale quickly called a timeout, but to no avail. After the timeout came back, Harden wanted to regroup.

, but it was a pity that Lin Shaojie suddenly stole the ball while he was dribbling.

The bearded man watched helplessly as Lin Shaojie played a dragon with the ball. Howard, who was chasing after him, looked up to the sky and sighed angrily.

"James, you should wake up!"

This is the voice of the Rockets players, but they cannot wake up a person who is "pretending to be asleep".

Harden's poor condition forced McHale to make substitutions.

Garcia came on as a substitute and took Harden's place. He performed well in the first minute after coming on. At least when he came on, he took advantage of his warm hands and unexpectedly scored a three-pointer, but he hit a "stop ball."

Francisco Garcia suddenly discovered that Lin Shaojie's attention to him skyrocketed.

Garcia, who plays the swingman role, is also an older player. He debuted with the Kings in 2005 and was drafted by the Rockets halfway through last year.

As a veteran in his thirties, Garcia's mentality must be mature.

But as a new "wanderer" in the league, Garcia's role on the court is definitely not as good as when he was young. The Kings are willing to sell him. The bigger reason is his rapid decline.

A player who is taller than Lin Shaojie but lighter in weight due to his age.

After playing, Garcia quickly remembered the fear of being dominated by Lin Shaojie when he was with the Kings last season.

In those two games, the Kings lost to the Pacers, leaving Garcia with little room to play.

Now, just after he hit a three-pointer, Lin Shaojie actually bullied him, a veteran in his thirties, without any moral ethics. The two were more than ten years apart in age. Garcia was almost crushed.

I can't catch the ball. I finally catch the ball but I can't make a move.

Instead of shooting, you can always pass the ball. Looking around, it seems that Lin Shaojie’s No. 13 figure is everywhere in front of him. Only then did Garcia understand why Harden was so Buddhist after he came on the court. It must be the same mentality as him at this time.

Same, so frustrating.

Harden, who was sitting off the court and taking a nap, unconsciously smiled.

Even when he faced the Spurs in the Western Conference and Leonard of the Spurs, he had never been so embarrassed.

After all, Leonard's dynamic talent is slightly inferior, unlike that guy on the court who feels out of touch.

Static talents such as strength were originally what Harden was good at. At the shooting guard position, he is the top presence in the new era.

But Lin Shaojie is better than him, not to mention his dynamic talent. Even Harden's ability to draw fouls was something he learned from Lin Shaojie last season.

Fortunately now, when a fake encounters the real thing, Harden's methods are completely useless.

Garcia, who replaced Harden, only played five minutes before being replaced by McHale after the third quarter.

In fact, Garcia's performance in this position is far worse than Harden, after all, his age is there.

"There are so many players in the league, but none of them can stop that guy?"

McHale said angrily, this is not something a normal human being can do.

The games in December are almost over now. If the Pacers win the entire month again, they will definitely create league history.

By then, the Lakers' 33 wins will not be far behind.

As for the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, that was created in 2008 when the Little Giants were here.

If the Heat hadn't lost to the Pacers last season, they would have won 26 games, or the Pacers in the middle would have broken everything for the Heat.

Afterwards, many experts felt sorry for the Heat's winning streak. If they didn't have the Pacers, they would be second only to the Lakers.

Now it seems that if you want to win 30 games, only the Pacers have this hope.

The key to the Pacers' ability to achieve such an achievement depends on the performance of No. 13.

After defeating the Bobcats in early December, the Pacers have won the league's second-highest number of wins so far, and are now heading towards their first win.

As for the winning streak at the beginning, it is now maintained by the Pacers, and the only one who can beat them is themselves.

McHale felt that his mentality was somewhat unbalanced.

If you want to win today's game, unless justice comes from heaven and kills No. 13, it will be impossible as long as he is present.

The Pacers' bench is really rich. West is on the court now, but Scola, who is sitting on the bench and originally belonged to the Rockets, performs far better on the court than West.

If he were replaced, victory would probably be easier for the Pacers.

Just when McHale was thinking wildly, the Pacers, who came back from the timeout, actually sent Scola.

"You don't have martial ethics!"

Scola made his second appearance in this game. His first goal as West's replacement was an assist from Lin Shaojie.

The Argentinian's pace was so solid that he turned around and wiped out Parsons. Before Howard could remember to react, he completed the attack with an easy throw.

“Beautifully passed on!”

Scola praised Lin Shaojie with a thumbs up.

Passing the ball is very simple, but when it is passed, it reflects the level.

Passing the blame is the most hated thing, but look at this pass from Lin Shaojie. It came out just when Howard was covering up and revealing a gap, allowing Scola to face Parsons on the inside.

For the Argentine, the standard of this goal is really high.

The offensive side always has the advantage on the court, not to mention that Parsons' center of gravity seems to have been mobilized, otherwise he would not have had time to complete a defensive action, allowing Scola to easily throw.

Scola opened up the situation inside, and Harden was replaced by McHale, but Harden's appearance did not change the Rockets' situation.

What made McHale feel even worse was that Paul George also opened up. His touch didn't recover sooner or later, and it happened to recover when he faced the Rockets.

There is no doubt that Lin Shaojie’s mastery of passing skills is more about his control of the overall rhythm. On the one hand, he is called the "court commander," and on the other hand, he is called the "court rhythm master."

Lin Shaojie's feeling of commanding the team really impressed McHale.

Passing skills are the most basic "skills," but the overall view is the strategic level.

Paul George's long two-pointer and Scola's dance moves in the paint became the shining points of the third quarter. Lin Shaojie's intimidation made the Rockets dare not relax at all against him.

When it comes to scoring explosive ability, there is a saying on the spot. No one is his enemy in one round. If he is accidentally hit by the opponent with a three-point rain, it is not a problem to score 2 or 30 points in a short period of time.

There have been too many examples telling other teams that even if Lin Shaojie only scored single-digit points in the first three quarters, if you relax the opponent's defense, you will only swallow the bitter pill of failure in the end, and even be nailed to the pillar of shame.

kept being mentioned.

It is precisely because of this mentality, the tangled mentality of whether to double-team or not, that Lin Shaojie's passing seems to be very easy, while Paul George and Scola's internal and external flourishes defeated the Rockets.

A 20-4 scoreline completely widened the gap between the two sides in the third quarter.

Paul George's consecutive explosive dunks in the second half made Howard feel humiliated in the paint. Before the end of the third quarter, there was even a tug and pull action, which almost caused a melee between the two sides.

Paul George made two free throws, and the point difference between the two sides was already 30 points.

Fortunately for the Rockets, Howard did not receive a technical foul because of this, otherwise he would have left the game early. I am afraid that the referee at the scene also considered it for the sake of ratings.

But even so, the rocket's form was clearly seen.

Without Harden, the Rockets seem to be lame. When facing a strong team like the Pacers, the Rockets who have "rised" in the Western Conference are also vulnerable.

Think about the Pacers' defeated players. The Pacers, who looked ordinary two years ago, now have just one more Chinese player. After integration, this lineup actually has the aura of a wealthy team that dominates the league.

After thinking about it, I don't know how many people are lamenting that the draft can change their destiny. In the final analysis, it is still necessary to draft and train your own people. "Big Bird" Larry Bird might have woken up from laughing in his dream.

Everyone knows that Larry Bird and Danny Ainge of the Celtics have had a life-or-death feud from the player days to the coaching days and now to the front office.

Not a day or two.

Without the "Palace of Auburn Hills" incident, the Pacers could have risen ten years earlier. However, since then, the Pacers' decline has deteriorated year by year. If it were not for the emergence of Danny Granger, the Pacers would have wanted to return to the playoffs.

Sai Haoqiang, I don’t know how many years it will be postponed.

Under Angie's unpredictable operation, the Celtics successfully formed the "Big Three". After discovering Rondo's potential, the "Big Four" came and successfully won the championship, allowing the Celtics to shine again.

alliance.

However, this kind of non-"direct lineage" training comes and goes quickly. Now the Celtics have once again embarked on a journey of reconstruction. Ainge even cleared the obstacles for Rondo, but Rondo, who was supposed to be a star, fell into another trap.

In addition to the troubles caused by injuries, the difficulty of this road to reconstruction can be seen clearly.

Unlike the Celtics, the Pacers instantly changed their guns after ushering in their new generation of core, and their rise was so rapid that the league has never seen it before.

How many of the current Pacers can remember Granger?

Throughout the history of the NBA, the Pacers have never seen a full-month winning streak for two consecutive seasons. Apart from the small home location, the Pacers have already begun to show their richness. The rest is time to accumulate.

Of course, the most important thing is to avoid injuries.

Many wealthy teams have been ruined by injuries. The most obvious one before was the Bulls. After Rose took over, the Bulls showed momentum that has attracted the attention of all the leaders of the beautiful country.

The hustle and bustle before the game was in stark contrast to the tranquility of "recess", and McHale was even a little embarrassed.

Thinking about it now, it seems that except for himself, the coach, who was very high-spirited before the game, other players, even Parsons, were not too arrogant. As arrogant as Howard, he was also strangely quiet before the game.

Perhaps the experience in the Lakers has made "Warcraft" realize that it is unrealistic to seize the benefits from the current Pacers, at least it is impossible for the current Rockets.

Looking at the 30-point difference, McHale looked at Harden, who was slumped in his seat and covering his face with a towel.

Are bearded men good players?

There is no doubt that being selected by the media as the number one shooting guard in active service cannot be achieved without some ability.

However, due to the many problems exposed when facing the Pacers, McHale has begun to consider how to transform his beloved disciple.

The two of them have a complementary relationship and don't need too many words between each other.

After more than a season of running-in, we both know that it is the best fit.

You are proud of me; I am proud of you.

It's just that with such a master-student relationship, McHale felt like he was missing a move when faced with the cheating master-student pair on the other side.

"Shall we give up?"

Seeing that the coach was embarrassed to speak, the assistant coach took the initiative and said, after all, the point difference was too big, even if there was still one quarter, but

"It doesn't matter, I'll try again!"

Taking off the towel on his face, Harden said with clear eyes. He had already foreseen the criticism of himself after the game, unless the Rockets could win away from home.

But is this realistic?

Seeing that Harden hadn't given up yet, McHale nodded and said it was okay.

Howard on the side could only treat him silently. He was a newcomer, and he was just a newcomer. There was a natural competition in the relationship with Harden's team.

Fortunately, both sides can still get along in terms of face.

Howard knew that he wanted to take his relationship with the bearded man further. On the one hand, time was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was about who would give up first and give up the "boss" mentality. Dual-core things can happen, but there must be a priority.

Howard is also a man who has been the boss. Now he is "wandering" in the league. He doesn't want to be on one team every year. In that case, he will really be a wanderer. In this way, what awaits him may just be sinking.

So no matter what, Howard also has to prove himself in the Rockets. He didn't want to do it again for the cowardice he suffered in the Lakers. In any case, even if Harden is not boss material, he is still much better than that guy Kobe, and Howard can tolerate it.

At worst, just do it yourself, it's not like I've never done this before.

Besides, Harden's mental state looks pretty good. Maybe a miracle will happen in the fourth quarter?

Howard, who had hope in his heart and bright eyes, was hit head-on by the Pacers' tight defense at the start of the fourth quarter.

The defensive lineup headed by No. 13 actually launched a full-court press after the start of the fourth quarter.

The feeling of "either you beat me to death or you are beaten to death" made Howard instantly feel the Pacers' malice.

Harden finally got the ball, but he faced Paul George's defense. Harden, who thought he had a chance, quickly discovered that switching defenses was all a lie.

Lin Shaojie became the factor that kept the Pacers away. He felt like he was one step away from everyone. Harden was forced to dare not pass the ball, but Paul George's defense was watertight. After a long time, Harden finally passed the ball.

Howard inside.

Relying on his strength and physical advantage, Howard squeezed away Scola, who played well today, and after completing his turn, he would hit a morale-boosting dunk.

However, Lin Shaojie hit a nail-biting block from the outside.

"Bang!"

The heavy sound woke Howard from his dream.

After landing and taking off for the second time, Howard tried to counterattack, but was fooled by Lin Shaojie's fancy move of passing through the crotch.

Lin Shaojie, who had a one-stop opportunity, suddenly took action and threw a long ball. Paul George, who was flying in front, responded with a "Huashan-breaking" dunk to his opponent.

The sound of "clang" sounded under the radio, making the fans at Conseco Arena cheer loudly.

"vp!"

"vp!"

"vp!"

Everyone knew who he was calling, and it wasn't Paul George who was dancing out of excitement on the court.

The excited Pacers second-in-command forgot all about it, but it was No. 13 who was smiling in the backcourt, raising his hands to indicate that the voice could be louder.

The commentary team of Yangma watched with excitement. They used to be fans of the Rockets, and the Rockets were their home team.

Nowadays, the Pacers are their favorite, whether it is their playing style, tactics, or core players, they are impeccable.

Yesterday the yellow flowers were beaten by the rain, today the peach blossoms smile in the spring breeze.

The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as old, but who doesn’t like younger ones?

Harden was not intimidated by this formation. The bearded man made a comeback in the next round, but unfortunately, he made mistakes in his ball-holding offense. Paul George used a very talented player under higher and stronger defense.

The steal cost Harden the ball.

At that moment, full of malice surrounded the core of the Rockets. Paul George successfully counterattacked and allowed the Pacers to score 12-3 at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

"Harden hasn't scored for almost ten minutes, right?"

Buckley said in disbelief.

"No, it's not that he hasn't scored in ten minutes, it's that he hasn't scored more than 10 points in this game so far!"

Smith also looked at the data sheet in his hand with some disbelief. On the court now, the score difference was already 40 points.

After the game, it was very likely that this was the Rockets' biggest tragedy this season.

This is a team that claimed to compete for the championship before the game. No matter how bad it is, it has two of the best players in the league, but they were beaten like this when facing the Pacers.

How much water does it need to be injected into it to make it look like this? Pork is not like this, right?

The little giant in front of the TV didn't know how to evaluate it. It was impossible for the Rockets to surrender at the beginning of the fourth quarter and use all substitutes. But now that the game is like this, it's time to admit defeat, but

The Rockets are still like this, which makes people confused.

Harden is working hard. He is the only player in the Rockets who can hold the ball. No matter who the other defenders, including Beverley, are on the court, they will be well "entertained" by the Pacers. The ferocious Pacers have never been able to

Waiting for the Rockets' surrender signal to make a decisive move.

Although Harden held the ball, he was tortured by Paul George in the fourth quarter. Lin Shaojie was like a poisonous snake waiting by the side. Whoever scored would be treated well by him.

Compared with those 60 points scoring ability, Lin Shaojie's defense is frightening.

Beverley and Jones were both "ghosts" of his men. Parsons' hair was completely ruined by the sweat on his head, and Howard also made repeated mistakes and was intercepted midway.

Lin Shaojie truly played from position 1 to position 5 on the court, and he could be called a "street tiger in basketball". Everywhere he went, the players were at a loss, and they didn't even have the ability to hold the ball.

When the score difference between the two sides exceeded 40 points and reached 45, McHale called the last timeout, and Harden straightened his neck and shouted.

"I can still fight!"

McHale was unmoved, and he replaced the Rockets' main force. The white flag was raised high. Frank, who was not far away, looked like a teachable coward and replaced the main force at the same time.

But for the Pacers, the bench lineup is really not bad, especially when facing a polarizing team like the Rockets.

McHale couldn't believe it until the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

51 points, tragedy of the century.

The Rockets hit a score at Conseco Arena that even they couldn't believe.

78 to 129.

They lost to their opponents by a full fifty-one points.

Paul George scored a team-high 33 points, Scola had the second-highest 29 points, and Lin Shaojie had a super double-double with 20 points and 28 assists.

Such an "unremarkable" data drove reporters after the game almost crazy.

In today's league statistics list, Lin Shaojie alone controls single-game assists and average assists per game, and others are not even qualified to look up to him.

Including Chris Paul, everyone can be the "scumbag" mentioned by No. 13!
