The Warriors lost to their opponents in their first away game against the Pacers, which was what everyone expected.

Compared with the ten-point difference in the first half, Lin Shaojie sat on the court and watched quietly in the second half when he changed sides and faced a Paul George with a hot hand.

The unpredictable Warriors will always fall into a long period of non-scoring after a series of scores. Although there was a brilliant 9-0 performance, and even chased the point difference to only 4 points, but walked

The player's internal and external advantage is simply too great.

Bogut, the Australian kangaroo who is known as the "number one center", was completely out of control in the first half against Hibbert and West.

Even the French tower Gobert in the rotation can go head-to-head with him, not to mention the veteran Scola's footwork that makes him unable to find the ball.

If it weren't for David Lee's solid foundation, the Warriors would lose everything in the paint.

By the end of the third quarter, the Pacers led the Warriors by 15 points, 80 to 65.

In the fourth quarter, Curry continued to stay on the court. His three-pointers suddenly came and attracted the pursuit of the Pacers' substitute defender. The "elementary school student" took this opportunity to break into the paint and draw consecutive fouls, and made four free throws.

.

At that time, most fans at the scene thought that the Warriors might achieve a comeback at home.

But watching Lin Shaojie move his wrists and ankles on the sidelines before walking onto the court with everyone looking forward to but worried, everyone knew that Curry was probably going to die.

The facts are as everyone expected. Curry's very personal three-point shooting has many characteristics such as short time, fast speed, high hit rate, long range, etc. It is definitely the best among "intercontinental missiles".

But when Lin Shaojie, the big devil, arrived like a dark cloud, what about intercontinental missiles? He was just a primary school student, and the primary school was just "forest"!

Curry, who bowed like a eagle and shot like a eagle, became a good boy. When he was proud of his shot from behind, Lin Shaojie still jumped up high to catch the shot in the air.

Curry's eyes were full of shock and disappointment!

"How did he know I was going to shoot?"

Curry switches between dribbling and shooting extremely quickly. Many people know that he has superb shooting skills, so it is easy to be deceived by him. Whether it is worshiping Buddha or other fake moves, whether it is shooting or passing, he is extremely

Threatening and deceptive.

But everything seemed to be invisible in front of Lin Shaojie.

Unwilling to give up, Curry wanted to try again, but the result was even more tragic. His second shot was still caught in the air by Lin Shaojie.

That kind of naked talent crushing made Curry lose his mind for a moment!

"How can there be such a strange man in the world!"

It's not that Curry has never been overshadowed by others, but things like being caught are still his specialty after making fake moves.

Thompson wanted to comfort his old friend, but unfortunately, his shooting action in this game was still standard, but his shooting rate was also terrible under Lin Shaojie's previous defense.

The two "brothers in distress" could only watch helplessly as the Pacers took away the game in a wave in the fourth quarter, just when the Warriors were about to gain momentum.

The coaches on both sides also saw it. Lin Shaojie's performance in those two or three minutes, with 2 steals, 3 blocks and 4 assists, completely broke the backbone of the Warriors.

Mark Jackson, who could afford to lose, quickly replaced the main player, and Frank, who was not far away, did the same. Lin Shaojie once again used his "excellent" performance for about 20 minutes in this game, proving that he does not rely on time on the court.

Obtain data.

As Paul George, who played the most minutes on the team, he had 35 minutes and scored the most 29 points on the team. He made 5 of 6 three-pointers and had a hot touch.

As for Lin Shaojie's 20 points and 14 assists, that is a bit exaggerated. If statistics such as steals are included, it can be said that Lin Shaojie played an irreplaceable role every minute he was on the court.

On the other hand, Curry, who played the most time for the Warriors, scored the most 24 points on the team in nearly 40 minutes of playing time, but he faced

When Lin Shaojie only got 2 points and 2 assists, you know how badly he was crushed.

As Curry's right-hand man, Thompson took 13 shots in this game, but unfortunately, he only made 3 goals, and only scored 10 points in the game with free throws and other factors.

There are two core players who are even worse than him, Iguodala and Bogut, both of whom started with 7 points.

With the Warriors playing like this, you can imagine the players on the bench. The ones who scored the most were Barnes and Green, one with 7 points and the other with 5 points.

No other player's score exceeded 5, which shows how unbearable the Warriors were when facing a strong team like the Pacers.

After the game, before Lin Shaojie had time to comfort the primary school student, the latter brought Thompson over to greet him.

Reporters are also particularly interested in the good relationship between several people.

"Although we lost the game, we know the gap between ourselves and the Pacers. Lynn is a rare leader player in this league. We don't feel ashamed to lose to him. This will only encourage us to work harder. Only

This way we can keep up with them."

Curry responded appropriately, as did Thompson.

"I have read yesterday's report that the Pacers lost a game, just a game, but many people have come forward and said that the Pacers have entered a decline and will they collapse because of this?

I always feel that these people think too much. In my memory, I have never found any team that only lost one game in the middle of the season.

To me, this is almost a miracle. If a warrior had achieved such an achievement, I would have been so excited that I couldn’t sleep..."

Lin Shaojie had a small gathering with the two of them in the evening, and then rushed to Phoenix early the next morning.

As the Pacers' next opponent, the Suns, under the leadership of Hornacek this season, have been uncharacteristically good. They actually performed well without Nash.

Gerald Green, the Pacers' substitute player last season, was strengthened by Hornacek this season and became one of the core players of the Suns, and his statistics have increased tremendously.

Of course, these are all due to his increased playing time.

The other Plumlee has almost no presence in the Pacers. He is also a rookie in 2012. He was also traded to the Suns this season and was also promoted to the first line by Hornacek.

Just by seeing this, you can almost understand that although the Sun's performance is pretty good, there are really not many people available.

The team has wasted a year during the rebuilding period, and they have yet to find their true core.

Dragic's performance is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and his state is ups and downs. Coupled with his age, it cannot support the Suns' future.

The Pacers started with five players, a regular routine; the Suns sent out a lineup of Green, Dragic, P.J. Dick, Plumlee and Frye.

After learning about this lineup, the Pacers' superiority mentality became even stronger.

After all, the substitutes in one's own team went to serve as the core of the opponent's team, which explains a lot of problems.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Pacers, there shouldn't be any problems in this game. Even Lin Shaojie himself feels this way.

But in Phoenix, at Talking Stick Resort Arena, the Suns took the lead after the opening game.

Although the Pacers' slow start is a common problem, the winning rate masks everything.

Everyone feels that as long as the Pacers catch up and overtake, victory will eventually belong to the Pacers.

In the first quarter, the Suns started with a 7-2 lead. West scored two goals in a row, catching up with the score and stimulating the fighting spirit of his teammates.

Paul George and George Hill received passes from Lin Shaojie and succeeded in shooting from the outside, even leading the score.

But soon, the Pacers' offense was weak for three minutes and they couldn't open up the situation, both inside and outside. However, the Suns relied on an 8-0 score to gain the lead again.

This is a rare situation. During the rotation break, Lin Shaojie

I didn't take it seriously at first.

But when he watched Stephenson, who came on the bench, and took turns taking care of Green, Frye and others, he continuously lost the ball to the opponent and allowed the Suns to once again gain a 14-2 offensive advantage in the second quarter. Lin Shaojie

I can't sit still anymore.

The Pacers' former substitutes, Plumlee and Green, were full of energy on the court. The revenge for being driven away by the Pacers seemed to suddenly burst out on the court, forcing the Pacers to beat.

After this wave of offensive, the Suns widened the point difference to as much as 15 points.

Lin Shaojie was hurriedly substituted and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to close the score to 49-62.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again, and the Suns had another 17-6 offensive climax, as if they were tireless.

As for the Pacers, Lin Shaojie, Paul George and George Hill had pretty good touches. They turned the tide under the Suns' offensive and finally chased the score to 80-96 in the third quarter.

During that period, the Pacers' backcourt trio looked at the Pacers' inside line with suspicion for the first time.

"Brothers, what's wrong with you?"

The much-talked-about Pacers insider in the East seemed to have suddenly disappeared in this game. While Hornacek double-teamed Lin Shaojie, he let Paul George and George Hill go.

A lot of effort has been put into the internal line.

It was heavily guarded, and Hibbert, West, and even Scola, Mahinmi and others did not perform well.

As for Gobert, his offense is far less outstanding than his defense.

In the last quarter, Lin Shaojie set off a counterattack climax with two consecutive three-pointers. However, when the Suns imposed a three-person double-team on him, Lin Shaojie had to share the ball.

Paul George and George Hill, who performed well in the first three quarters, slumped. In the next five minutes, the Pacers couldn't score a single point. The inside line didn't know whether it was because of the cold touch, but they made consecutive mistakes.

Lin Shaojie wanted to do it by himself, but under the three-man double-team, the other two were not idle. As long as Lin Shaojie dared to rush in, the striker players would dare to call him. In addition, the referee's enforcement standards were relatively loose, so it was difficult for Lin Shaojie himself to do anything.

play.

The Suns played a great score for the fourth time, 13-0, which shocked everyone.

With half the game left, Frank took the initiative to call a timeout, replaced all the main core players, and then watched the Suns win at home.

The game entered garbage time early, causing the Suns fans to sing loudly at home. The Pacers players looked at each other and had no choice but to accept the result.

After the referee blew the final whistle, Lin Shaojie and coach Frank were once again surrounded by the media.

"The Suns' performance was beyond our expectations. Not only did all their starting players score in double figures, but there were even players like Morris on the bench who scored 20 points. We were not fully prepared and we lost without regrets.

!」

For the Pacers, in addition to Lin Shaojie and Paul George scoring 20 points, George Hill scored 19 points. However, West only scored 10 points, barely breaking double figures, and Hibbert only scored 4 points.

.

As the best sixth man, Stephenson only scored 5 points. You know how poorly the Pacers played in this game.

Well, this was the second time this season that the Pacers failed.

I listened to the Suns players' speeches as if they were "showing off" in front of reporters.

"The walkers are nothing more than that. If we work together as one, we can defeat any opponent!"

"Yes, nothing can stop us. Our goal is to enter the playoffs. I feel that we will definitely be able to return to the playoffs."

Shaojie Lin had a brief exchange with Suns coach "Death Gun" Hornacek after the game.

No way, Hornacek was not unknown as a player. After becoming a coach in the NBA, his reputation became more and more famous. The kind of father who values ​​his daughter.

Anyway, Lin Shaojie knew very well that the Pacers' gangsters had talked about this daughter, a female host with outstanding looks and a hot figure named Abby. That girl was Hornacek's daughter.

Son.

I don’t know how many people called me “father-in-law”.

Abby did not appear at the scene in this game. Maybe this is the reason why the Pacers lost. Anyway, that's what Lin Shaojie thought.

Hornacek's eyes also lit up when he saw Lin Shaojie. The two didn't have much communication before the game, but after this game, it can be regarded as "we don't know each other until we fight."

Hornacek also had to pay attention to the popular player in the league. He was so popular that even his daughter was a fan of Lynn and followed the superstar on Twitter.

"Congratulations, Coach Jeff."

Hornacek accepted the blessing with a smile.

"A week from now, we will give you a warm welcome at Conseco Arena."

Lin Shaojie's next words made Hornacek's smile stop abruptly.

Although the Pacers lost this away game, most people should be able to see that if they want to double defeat the Pacers in the season, it is hard to say in the future, but it should be impossible this season.

And Hornacek also saw that it was not that the Pacers had no ability to counterattack, even if the biggest point difference on the field was more than 20 points, he knew very well that Lin Shaojie had the ability to make a comeback, but it was a pity that Frank, as the coach,

is not allowed.

"Okay, let's compete again in the next game. I hope you have a good away trip."

Hornacek sent his blessings. Although the players were a little frivolous, he, as a coach, was a little conservative in the post-game press conference.

"Many people have noticed that the Pacers gave up the game at the last moment. I think they still have a chance to catch up..."

Faced with reporters' questions, especially the tactical arrangement of sending three players to jointly "block" the Pacers' No. 13, Hornacek said bluntly.

"You saw the ending. We won the game. Although there was a little bit of luck in it, there was no problem with our tactics. When we faced some stars who needed to be double-teamed, such as Durant, LeBron and the like.

, but facing a player like Lynn who can break through, shoot, and pass, three defensive players are relatively safe."

"Sir, are you saying that Lynn is far better than Durant and LeBron?"

The reporters immediately became interested. This question of who is stronger and who is weaker has always been a point in the hearts of fans. Anyone who encounters it will shout twice.

Hornacek spread his hands in front of the stage: "Maybe it's subjective. If I were given a chance to choose a core player as the basis for building a team, among the current players, I would definitely choose Lynn."

"Why?"

Reporters then asked: "Why not LeBron or Durant? Aren't they great?"

"It's simple, he is young enough!"

Well, Hornacek's answer is impeccable. You must know that the 13-14 season was only the second career of the No. 13, but he achieved countless honors and even made many people ignore the Chinese.

Given his age, I thought he was a veteran who had been in the league for many years.

Now think about it, he was a green and immature guy, a player who should have been trying to please his boss in the locker room, humbly ask for advice on the court, and then do his job well next to the coach.

That fits most people's impression of Chinese people.

But what about in reality?

That guy became the boss of the Pacers locker room not long after he entered the league. Although many things happened after that, take a look at Granger, the last boss of the Pacers.

Well, I heard that the guy is currently negotiating a contract with the Clippers, but I don’t know when the deal will be finalized and he can join the team.

The Chinese who became the boss of the locker room seems to have started a brilliant career. It seems that the last player who was so outstanding...seems like he has not seen any of them.

It was clear that the Pacers had lost the game, but amid Hornacek's "compliment", they quietly left Phoenix and went to Sacramento, the Kings who had lost to them at home not long ago.

"Whether the Pacers encounter a match

First losing streak of the season?"

This topic suddenly aroused the minds of many fans.

I think the Pacers won't let their away record be disastrous, and the Kings just lost two of their team's generals, Gay and Cousins, in the game against the Rockets.

No matter how you look at it, such a king has no confidence to challenge the Pacers. Even the Pacers' substitute lineup is enough to abuse the king.

It looks like this on paper, but for the Pacers, after playing against the Kings, they have to face the challenge of rushing to the Denver Nuggets.

The latter's plateau city is inherently feared by other teams, and the Pacers are no exception. Many players will feel a little uncomfortable when playing there.

In addition, the Nuggets still have some strength and a head coach who is familiar with their tactics.

In such a brutal back-to-back battle, whether the Pacers will give up one game has also become the target of everyone's attention.

After all, in the middle of the season, many players have begun to suffer from frequent injuries. No team will try their best in insignificant games. You may be successful for a while, but you may regret it for the rest of your life.

The Pacers can't escape this law. In addition, their record is really good. There is no need to work hard with those "lower people". They can finish this cruel away trip decently and return to their home court with glory. He doesn't

Does it smell good?
