"The low tide is coming!"

"The Clippers successfully killed the gods!"

"The Pacers defeated Conseco!"

Almost as soon as the game ended, all basketball-related news was reporting on this game. Without exception, they were reporting that the Pacers lost their first home game of the season.

The feeling of an approaching storm suddenly surged into everyone's heart.

Just looking at the media headlines without reading the content, you might even think that something happened to the Pacers. In fact, for the Pacers, they just lost a game after a winning streak, giving other teams a glimmer of hope.

.

The hustle and bustle from the outside world has not affected the Pacers' internal situation. It only lost one game. The Pacers still have an absolute advantage in winning. The Heat, second in the Eastern Conference, have lost 11 games and are one step away from the Pacers' victory.

The market advantages are far apart.

The Pacers can achieve the team's goals in a relaxed environment and gain home court advantage in the playoffs.

At the same time, among the latest batch of best players in the East and West announced by the league, Lin Shaojie is still the best in the East, while Durant won the best in the West.

In the previous selection, the best in the Eastern Conference was extremely stable. Lin Shaojie almost occupied most of the time on this list. In addition, Paul George of the Pacers was on the list once, and others were on the list.

Almost all Eastern Conference players live in the shadow of a certain No. 13;

On the contrary, although Durant has an absolute advantage in the Western Conference, Griffin, Aldridge, Morris, and even Cousins, who just lost to the Pacers, have been on this list.

These players have all been on the list of Player of the Week. In comparison, others in the Eastern Conference are really miserable, and the Heat's LeBron is even more affected.

Because in the current data list, there is almost no one that can be involved in the back line that is not occupied by a certain player named Lin, and there is no way for others to survive.

So this defeat is a feast for the media. For each team, it doesn't matter much. The most they can do is take advantage of someone's failure to steal his best player, but what else can they do?

It seems there really aren't many.

Fortunately, everyone knows that the Pacers' happy home trip ends here, and they will begin a cruel road trip in the Western Conference.

There are five games in ten days, which is by no means an easy win.

The first away game is a visit to Golden State, facing the Warriors at Oracle Arena.

When traveling, Li Dacheng asked Lin Shaojie in a low voice on the plane. Facing the record after the first defeat, the fans were somewhat sad. They also hoped that this winning streak could continue.

Will the Pacers suffer any sequelae from this?

Lin Shaojie knows very well about the fans' extravagant expectations. They always want more, but after all, people are human beings, not machines.

This defeat will happen sooner or later. It is impossible for a team to have a complete victory record in the league. This is not a matter of one person, but a matter of an entire team, including dozens of people from top to bottom.

First-line players are not robots. They also have emotions and desires, which will inevitably lead to ups and downs in their status.

Excluding the personal factors of the players, the coach's tactical arrangements are even more crucial. Otherwise, there is no need for a coach, and it would be better for the players to just mess around on the court.

In this way, what's the difference between it and a golf course?

Although today's GDP is still strong, without the Spurs' strict and abnormal tactical system, this group of "senior groups" who are over 100 years old in total would not be able to achieve such an effect.

Although Duncan is the most powerful power forward in history, no one doubts that Malone is not as good as Duncan in terms of honors. In many aspects, the public even thinks that Malone is no worse than Duncan.

However, under the arrangement of the coach, the Spurs have remained the same for twenty years. Under the tactical system, they are the top team in the league. Everyone can play their greatest role and are irreplaceable.

This kind of system team built based on the personal ability of a certain player is so vital.

Lin Shaojie knew that the Pacers at the moment were

With himself as the core, he is the thickest thigh and even the root system of the Pacers. Everything is based on him, and Paul George is the second thick branch in Larry Bird's heart.

It’s best to be the second boss.

Lin Shaojie also knew very well that Paul George also had the idea of ​​"turning into a serf and taking charge of the family", but the reality has made Paul George realize that it is he, Lin Shaojie, who has the final say in the Pacers.

It’s not that the opportunity wasn’t given, it’s that it was given and you didn’t use it.

The players have adapted to playing under the command of Lin Shaojie. Paul George's personal ability cannot be said, but if you want to be the leader on this carriage and lead your teammates to conquer the city and win the championship, then the "pickled pepper" is still lacking.

.

Lin Shaojie, who was sleeping, was thinking that if he hadn't seen so much, seen so much, felt so much, had such a mature and stable mentality, and had not been in the league for many years, he might not be able to be where he is now.

If the Eye of Truth gives you hardware, then the ability to explore the hearts of others gives you "software!"

By using both hard and soft tactics, I gained the ability to be proud of myself on the court.

As the saying goes, there is no need to explain the life of cheating. How can ordinary people stand on this basketball court?

After arriving in San Francisco for a night's rest, Lin Shaojie declined the invitation from Curry and others. It wasn't that Lin Shaojie didn't want to go out and meet his friends. It was actually that the Pacers were in a state of burning oil at this time. Coupled with the prosperity of Golden State, the media

numerous.

If Lin Shaojie shows up, as long as he is seen by interested people, he may not even be able to eat.

Opening the sports newspaper at this time, even if a day has passed, the Pacers are still the absolute protagonists, and the Clippers who won the victory are like superstars.

No matter what happens next this season, the battle between the Clippers and Pacers has ended during the regular season. The next time the two teams want to meet in the regular season will be next season. If they meet in the playoffs, judging from the records of both sides

, only the hegemons of the East and the West can meet, and it is already the stage of the finals.

In the last series, Griffin, as the player with the most points in the game, was of course highly valued. The scene of him competing with West was played countless times.

As the "culprit" for the Pacers' loss, West was not punished by his teammates after the game.

The old guy in the core is also the kind of player who is ruthless and doesn't say much. His status in the locker room is second only to Lin Shaojie. He is complimented by other black players as a "wise man" and is like a priest in the locker room preaching to other players.

.

Now, if the "teacher" is angry, then it is definitely not the teacher's problem, it may only be the enemy's problem.

As for the matter of DeAndre Jordan blocking the road, although DeAndre Jordan made it clear after the game that he was innocent and not the one who caused trouble, most of the Pacers players did not believe it, and I am afraid that there is nothing good to say about it.

Anyway, the matter is over, and the league did not impose any additional penalties on the Pacers. This is undoubtedly a good thing, and West's hanging heart is relieved.

It is precisely because of this, and because it is halfway through the season, Frank and all the core players have stated that in the next games, because of the high winning rate, the Pacers' rotation will be more exaggerated than that of the Spurs, even Paul George.

There are all players with "physical freaks" among them, and he doesn't want anyone to suffer from injuries in the next games.

At least for the past two seasons, the Pacers have controlled player injuries very well. Even if the team doctors are not as good as the Suns, they will not be as miserable as the Trail Blazers.

Shaojie Lin, who appeared at Oracle Arena the next day, received cheers from the audience. In Golden State, you can see a lot of yellow faces. Looking at this well-known big city in the hearts of Chinese people, the Warriors in Golden State have what it takes to become a giant.

Confidence.

Maybe he is not as dazzling as New York or Los Angeles, but his foundation is really not bad. At least compared to Chicago, which is declining, Golden State undoubtedly looks much better.

Lin Shaojie, Curry and Thompson embraced each other enthusiastically, and reporters excitedly clicked the shutter in their hands.

They heard that Lin Shaojie had a good relationship with the two "pitchers".

Well, in the eyes of many media people, the first impression of Curry and Thompson

It's the pitcher.

Ever since Lin Shaojie’s three-pointers rained down on the league, his ultra-high shooting percentage has almost set off a wave of reform in the league.

In the past, teams have never placed such an exaggerated emphasis on three-point shooting. If any team does not have the advantage of three-point shooting, then when facing the Pacers, you can be exploited by your opponent at any time.

At the same time, tough defenders on the perimeter have become more popular.

Almost all teams have begun to fall into a strange arms race, and outside players without shooting ability absolutely lack a future.

But in Lin Shaojie's eyes, many people misjudged the strength of these two friends.

Maybe they have asked themselves for three-point advice or even exchanged opinions on the court, but they are definitely not what fans think of as a "pitcher."

Just like Curry, despite his "skinny" figure, he definitely has the mentality of a center and is not afraid of confrontation. Even his seemingly "short" figure does not necessarily disadvantage him at the point guard position.

.

His long-range shooting ability can help him open up space. Coupled with his stable dribbling and good vision, Curry's passing is not weak. If such a player is not limited by his body and injuries, the Warriors' performance will definitely be better.

Much better than before.

This can be seen from last year's playoffs. What did the Warriors have at that time?

Aren't they also inseparable from the Spurs? Although they were eliminated by the Spurs in the end, the young Warriors also proved their strength.

And Thompson is not as weak as his appearance and performance indicate. As a player who has been underestimated, his touch is rare in this position. The standardized shooting template makes him extremely stable and also

There is his defense.

Lin Shaojie is sure that this is an underestimated defender. Anyway, judging from his confrontation with Thompson, many "black and tough" players in the league are just fake charts. On the contrary, this guy who looks white but is actually "black" is a tough guy.

, a difficult opponent.

Of course, everything is based on others. Lin Shaojie himself knows very well that whether he is facing Curry or Thompson, he has the ability to surpass the two of them. No one is a one-round enemy in one-on-one, even if he is simply

Lin Shaojie can proudly say that the calculation efficiency value of

"I'll let you fight for ten minutes first!"

All right!

That's just a joke!

For this game, Warriors coach Mark Jackson sent out a lineup of Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Bogut and David Lee.

This lineup has height, hardness, and flexibility.

During the warm-up before the game, Lin Shaojie specifically told Paul George and George Hill that they must be careful when facing their opponents and not be misled by the media.

Of course those two people kept it in mind.

After the game started, as another highlight of the Pacers this season, George Hill quickly discovered the toughness of his opponent.

If Lin Shaojie and "Pickled Pepper" are the boss and second child this season, then George Hill, who can switch between scoring and organization at any time, will be Lin Shaojie's best helper.

The most important thing is that under the Pacers' system, George Hill's defensive ability is far better than before.

Losing the jump ball is the Pacers' "special skill," and everyone is not surprised. The Warriors who grabbed the ball attacked first.

But seeing how this little guy Curry, this elementary school student who originally called "Uncle Carter", was so difficult to deal with, George Hill was also stunned for a moment.

Lin Shaojie was guarding Thompson. The latter's standard shot was a rare textbook shot in the league.

"Pickled Pepper" and Iguodala were fighting near the three-point line...

In short, everyone has his own opponent.

Without Lin Shaojie's defense, Curry actually showed off his tricks in front of George Hill. After passing the old man, Curry quickly transferred the ball when Lin Shaojie seemed to want to make up for the defense.

He knew very well that if Lin Shaojie stood in front of him, it would be difficult to attack.

There is a huge gap in talent between the two sides. Even if the power monster is not released,

He can be counted on both the back line and the forward line. This can be seen from the daily strength training taken secretly by other players.

Anyway, players who have watched those training videos, normally no one would mess with the Pacers' No. 13. That guy is strong and has "kongfu" around, so no one can cause trouble for him.

Curry's clever look allowed David Lee inside to help the team take the lead, and Hibbert's half-hook successfully hit the ball.

Later, Lin Shaojie also made a change, allowing Hibbert to complete a jump shot from the mid-range. The Warriors had nothing to do with him.

Subsequently, Thompson received a pass from Curry on the outside and wanted to take a three-point shot, but at the moment of taking the shot, Lin Shaojie was intercepted in the air and the basketball fell into Lin Shaojie's hands.

The Warriors players quickly returned to defense, but Lin Shaojie released the ball immediately, and Paul George, the fastest runner, completed the lead with a dunk that broke Huashan.

Well, even though it's only the start of the game, Paul George is like a well-oiled machine and in hot shape.

In the subsequent games, Curry began to avoid Thompson, who also focused on defense. Although it was difficult to cause any real damage to Lin Shaojie, the two sides went back and forth and attacked fiercely.

The Warriors mainly attack the inside, but after being blocked, they specialize in the mid-range; the Pacers are stable in Paul George and George Hill, one inside and one outside, which is full of highlights.

Since the Pacers had more three-point shooting opportunities, throughout the first quarter, the Pacers led the Warriors with a score of 28 to 21, and there was almost no rotation between the two sides.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Paul George, who was feeling hot, once again received a pass from Lin Shaojie. All the main players knew that there might be plenty of time left for them in the first half, but not so much in the second half.

Especially Lin Shaojie, he is definitely Frank's favorite and cannot be there for a long time.

After the start of the second quarter, "Pickled Pepper" made consecutive three-pointers under Iguodala's almost masked defense. He made three consecutive three-pointers. If the last one hadn't stepped on the line, it would have been counted as two points.

I'm afraid Paul George will have an offensive climax.

Correspondingly, the Warriors' singles play was ineffective.

Lin Shaojie opened his position slightly, but Curry still did not dare to pass the ball to Thompson. Lin Shaojie, who had room to move, was of great help in assisting the Warriors in the third and fourth positions.

The Pacers relied on their own tactics and the performance of their stars to score a 12-3 run.

After that, the Warriors failed to succeed in eight consecutive singles attempts.

After the rotation came belatedly, Lin Shaojie came off the court with the two insiders.

The Warriors sent Barnes, and "Barnes" actually scored 4 points with consecutive free throws, narrowing the point difference.

But the good times did not last long. Even with the Pacers' semi-substitute lineup, coupled with Paul George's powerful players, within four minutes, the Warriors miraculously fell into a scoring drought once again on the court.

The Pacers took the opportunity to widen the point difference.

"Look, I said before, that elementary school student can't do anything but shoot. The gap between him and Linn is really too big."

The host who was explaining the game said with colored glasses.

"Do you really think that Lynn only knows three-pointers? That's just a long-range ballistic missile in his arsenal. Lynn is the only player in the league. He also has mid-range shots and low-post singles. Three-pointers are just the most energy-saving thing for him.

It’s just a way of playing.

The most important thing is that Lynn passed the ball back..."

The host said it very happily. If Lin Shaojie knew what he said, he would probably refute it.

Three-pointers save energy?

Are you kidding me, if there is no movement, those guys with incredible athletic talents will let you easily get the ball and then take action?

Are you kidding me? It's all based on the advantage of movement. The three-pointer is just the last way to attack. Did you turn a blind eye to the previous times when you were running all over the court looking for opportunities?

At the end of the halftime, the Pacers' lineup, which was a mix of substitutes and main players, actually took the lead by beating most of the Warriors' main players.

This made the media people present sigh with emotion.

Even if the Pacers lose one game, it's only one game. Whether this league is in chaos or not is entirely up to the Pacers!

Look at Lin Shaojie sitting off the court, whispering quietly to the coach, and not knowing what he was plotting.

Comparing him and Curry horizontally, the latter is really pitiful.

If you think about it carefully, the "elementary schoolboy" was the most dazzling presence of the Warriors in previous games. Even if Iguodala comes, he can't cover up his glory. He can give people the impression of a "three-point shooter".

That is also one of the signs of success. Otherwise, if you don't even have anything to show for it, how can you get a foothold in the NBA?

Looking back at Curry in this game, except for his average performance against George Hill, but looking at Lin Shaojie's glory when he played, even the fans at Oracle Arena have to say, he is still the same 13-year-old.

The number is more beautiful.

It’s not about appearance, it’s about playing style and skills!

That really shows freedom and ease.
