My basketball vision is different

Chapter 355: A Familiar Smell

The Nuggets players all know how difficult that Chinese guy is. So far in the game, they have only had direct contact with the player for less than ten minutes.

The Pacers treat their core like a treasure, using it with caution.

But the Nuggets players knew very well that the two starting guards put a lot of pressure on Lin Shaojie. They even made some not-so-good moves on defense. It would have been better to have some players with more explosive tempers.

, I'm afraid it will cause disputes.

But Lin Shaojie seemed unaware of this and performed his duties on the court.

"This is a nice guy!"

This is what Foye and the others said casually to other players during the timeout, and many players agreed with it.

Whether they are in the Nuggets or from other teams, most of the players here have had face-to-face experience with Lin Shaojie.

Especially since last season, Lin Shaojie has become the most familiar Chinese face in the league, and no matter how face-blind he is, he can be distinguished from other players.

Does the Pacers' No. 13 have any dark history?

No!

No matter who they are, what kind of persona they have in front of the media, in private, many players know what kind of stuff each other is.

Lin Shaojie's reputation is not only with the Pacers, but even if he plays in away games, he can be regarded as well-known.

He doesn't cause trouble, nor does he participate in dirty activities.

Far more of a gentleman than the so-called "gentleman", the league wants to create some players with perfect personalities, but it doesn't need to be in him, he is.

Among last year's Defensive Player of the Year selections, Lin Shaojie was almost the least suspected among the defenders. Even though he didn't get a perfect score in votes, there was an element of human nature in it.

Presumably as the relationship between Lin Shaojie and LeBron has eased this season, there will no longer be any problems in the selection at the end of the season.

You know, LeBron has friends all over the world, and many people are willing to hang around him.

Nowadays, if the two giants are on good terms, many things will be easier to do.

For example: In this year's All-Star voting, there should be no problem for the Pacers' No. 13 to win the vote again...

Thinking of so many things, I can really say that his character on the court is impeccable, and the honors he has received are also very "hard".

Robinson's defensive and offensive failure on the court is an undisputed result. The slow-motion 360-degree broadcast without blind spots makes it impossible for the referee to make a penalty without conscience. The fans at the scene are not blind. They are superior in strength.

, can be used freely.

When the timeout came back, the Nuggets withdrew Robinson. The purpose of his presence on the court was to face Stephenson. It would be a bit difficult for him to face a player of Lin Shaojie's level.

Seeing the core players from both sides taking the field early, Brian Xiao stared.

The Nuggets' double-teaming of Lin Shaojie was even more brutal. Chandler could make up defense at any time, which greatly increased the pressure on Lin Shaojie. He knew how to pass the ball, but he was able to pass the ball stably, but when he encountered someone with poor touch,

teammates, and the Nuggets soldiers who worked their best.

The Pacers' offense began to be hindered. Seeing that his teammates were unable to help him resolve the battle, Lin Shaojie came to do it himself.

When faced with a double team and one person helping to defend, Lin Shaojie started directly and drove into the basket. Faced with such speed, the two Nuggets defenders could only watch the opponent rush in.

Fareed came out from the side to stop him, and Chandler rushed over from Paul George. Lin Shaojie was surrounded by two people for the second time.

At the inevitable moment, Lin Shaojie's feet continued to shake. At the moment of high-speed running, Fareed stumbled, and his center of gravity was deceived by Lin Shaojie's seemingly fancy, but actually simple movement.

"Wow!"

The fans at the scene let out an exclamation, but Lin Shaojie rushed over after Fareed had a chance to escape. Facing the last Chandler's defense, Lin Shaojie jumped high and faced the opponent's similarly rising figure.

In front of him, he ended the battle with a powerful dunk.

"Clang!"

"Ugh!"

Lin Shaojie used the power of his arms to hang himself in the air, and then fell down. Chandler, who was knocked out by him, shook his head and got up from the ground.

That moment just now, it seemed impossible for that kid to complete the dunk.

In the slow motion of the replay, Lin Shaojie was extremely fast. Not to mention the difficulty of the dunk, the danger and damage to the body made the fans at the scene and even in front of the TV go numb.

The way you fly and hit the ball in the air, the height does not decrease at all during translation, and the feeling of being stuck in the air is really too strong.

"Actually, I used to play ball like this, but now my wheelchair is very good!"

Fans were joking on the Internet, and they sighed from the bottom of their hearts about this goal.

It is said that Lin Shaojie's talent is rare among Chinese people. The last person who could fly in the air and play ball would have to go forward nearly twenty years before the old Hu from Jiangnan Province could fly like this.

Nowadays, Lin Shaojie is better than his predecessor. This talent cannot be found even in the American professional basketball team, which is constantly changing. It is really exaggerated.

Lin Shaojie's dunk not only gave the team a chance to get 21, but also showed the Pacers' momentum.

Brian Xiao watched all this helplessly.

The game after that seemed to be Lin Shaojie taking on the entire Nuggets team. Lin Shaojie deducted the passing button and became a killer on the court.

Most non-Pacers senior fans are joking. They once said that Paul George is more talented, but Lin Shaojie is just good at controlling the ball.

Nowadays, everyone has discovered how domineering Lin Shaojie is who puts all his energy on the offensive end, knocks off passes and shoots three-pointers from long range.

Teammates can't open it?

He does it himself!

Can’t a teammate make a dunk?

He does it himself!

Whatever he can do, he doesn't need others, he can do it himself, and he will have enough food and clothing!

After a series of dunks, it was obvious to the naked eye that there was something wrong with the Nuggets' basket, and the hanging net was somewhat deformed.

This is no longer the product it was ten years ago.

Under Lin Shaojie's crazy attack, Brian Shaw felt like he was about to have a heart attack. As for the Nuggets players on the court, did they defend?

Be on guard!

I defend very carefully, but so what if I can't prevent it.

Even among the core strikers, no one is taller than seven feet.

Facing a player like Lin Shaojie, it seems that the tall and strong defender is not as flexible as his opponent, and the flexible defender is not as powerful as his opponent.

Everyone knows that Lin Shaojie wants to play singles and do it by himself, but they just can't keep up, stop, or defend him!

what to do?

Call Ultraman?

Lin Shaojie was like a dark cloud over Denver, instantly covering the plateau.

"Brother, collect your magical powers!"

Throughout the second half of the second quarter, what the fans saw was a scene of one person challenging one team. When the Lakers were away on the 24th, they more or less found that familiar formula and familiar taste!

At the end of halftime, the Pacers took the initiative with an absolute advantage.

59 to 40, one point away from the score of 20 points.

After returning to the locker room, the Nuggets lowered their heads and "licked" their wounds. The Pacers' No. 13 can be said to be the devil on the court, and his performance on both offense and defense was too ruthless.

"Hi, kids, have you given up?"

Brian Shaw was not discouraged by the score difference on the court. On the contrary, he seemed a little excited.

"Don't you know how long Lynn was on the court?

This is very good news to me, can you understand?"

With that said, Brian Xiao pointed at Chandler and said.

"Wilson, your performance in the second quarter was still too weak. I need you to be tough. If the Pacers play Lynn in the next quarter, I need you to be tough.

Fight back in style, even if you commit a foul, do you understand?"

Looking at the vicious expression on Brian Xiao's face, Chandler nodded.

"I understand, sir!"

Perhaps the previous smile was turned into ashes under this fierce expression. In the final analysis, the relationship between master and disciple is still not worth the honor on the court.

Other players also received instructions from Brian Shaw. In the third quarter, they had to chase points and at the same time make their opponents understand that No. 13 on the opposite side would not get such a good opportunity again.

In the locker room on the other side, Frank praised Lin Shaojie's performance on the court and expressed his understanding of the coldness of others, but he hoped that others would step forward as soon as possible to provide help to Lin.

Frank was as calm as ever, not as passionate in tone and demeanor as Brian Shaw.

But when the players left one after another, Frank, who was lagging behind, patted Lin Shaojie on the shoulder.

"Lynn, your style of play is too explosive. This is not a very good way."

"But this is the best way I can think of."

Lin Shaojie nodded: "I want to wake up others."

"Then let's see later!"

As he said that, Frank looked at the watch in his hand: "You don't have much time left."

"Understood, sir!"

The game restarted, and after the start, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Brian Shaw actually pulled Chandler away from Paul George and became the third person to help defend Lin Shaojie.

When Lin Shaojie tried to pass the ball, Chandler did not relax his defensive target because of the transfer of ball rights. The Nuggets' increased pressure on Lin Shaojie had no upper limit.

"It looks like there are three people guarding Linn, right?"

The host said with some disbelief.

After Paul George successfully hit the ball, the Nuggets launched a quick counterattack. Obviously, the height of the inside does not have the advantage, but Lawson's pass is very powerful. In front of George Hill, Lawson showed off a fancy pass, and the inside

Hixon defeated Hibbert and successfully dunked.

Lin Shaojie felt that Paul George's touch was recovering, and he quickly played the ball in the next offensive round, allowing Paul George to get an offensive opportunity. However, facing the unguarded situation in front of the free throw line, Paul George was stunned for a moment.

The shot was shot too hard and hit the basket.

Sometimes it's so magical. Under defensive pressure, a player can hit 100% of the time, but facing an empty defense, the shot actually hits the frame and seems a little at a loss.

Paul George's performance is like this. Even if he attacks the basket directly, it is much better than smashing it out.

Lin Shaojie was blocked by Chandler and failed to grab this offensive rebound.

And as another striker, Fareed actually made a small move on the side and grabbed Lin Shaojie's clothes, making it difficult for him to take off and fight for offensive rebounds.

After landing, Lin Shaojie glanced at Fareed, who smiled indifferently.

The two sides fought back and forth in the initial stage of the third quarter, with the point difference still hovering above 15 points.

The balance of victory seemed to fall towards the walker.

Soon, Frank discovered that something was wrong. Lin Shaojie was not facing a simple double-teaming problem in defense and offense...

The Nuggets make a lot of small moves, and they are of the "sin that will not lead to death" type.

The referee was also very lenient with this kind of call or no call penalty, but seeing Chandler start to swing his elbow during the fight, Frank quickly called a timeout and carefully replaced Lin Shaojie.

When Brian Xiao saw this scene, a smile appeared on his lips.

As expected, it was Stephenson who replaced Lin Shaojie. Brian Xiao was very familiar with the Pacers' best sixth man. Their relationship has always been good. Brian, who was an assistant coach at the time, was very familiar with some of Stephenson's things on and off the court. He knew

What kind of player is this.

Moreover, Stephenson's appearance has made George Hill's position blurry. Both sides have offensive and passing abilities.

Can be switched between each other.

But after the Nuggets sent a "small" guy like Robinson, Stephenson's original advantage disappeared.

Even in Stephenson's offense, Robinson was able to steal the ball before the opponent's shot. Brian Shaw's magical substitutions certainly eliminated the Pacers' advantage after Stephenson came on the court.

Led by a substitute, the Nuggets took an 11-0 advantage, closing the gap between the two sides.

Frank had to call a timeout and carefully warned Stephenson, hoping that he could hit the ball faster and strengthen cooperation with his teammates instead of going it alone.

Stephenson listens to the coach's words. After all, Frank has given him many opportunities, and he can be considered a grateful person.

But the Nuggets began to press the whole game and took advantage of Lin Shaojie's absence in the third quarter to start chasing points, which Frank did not expect.

He sat on the sidelines and watched the two sides fighting again and again, and the score was getting closer again and again. By the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets actually chased the point difference to five points. What was going on?

Stephenson's performance was not good and he was restrained by Robinson.

"Oh my gosh, the Nuggets scored while Lynn was off the court. They recovered 14 points in one quarter. If it weren't for Chandler's two long-range misses, the Nuggets would have had a chance to overtake the score."

It was clearly the Pacers who had the advantage on the court, but everyone was dejected after the game.

Brian Xiao, who was watching all this from a distance, smiled and said nothing.

In his eyes, Frank is a very good coach, but Brian Shaw does not think that the other party is a coach who can fight hard, especially in such an inconsequential regular season, Frank cannot give up all his chips.

Just like Popovich of the Spurs, as long as he can grab the home court advantage and lose some irrelevant games, it is a routine operation to replace GDP.

Today, Frank is protecting a piece of fine porcelain, fearing that his love will be damaged during the regular season.

But comparing this year's Spurs, when Texas' powerful team achieved a rare leading record in the regular season, they also began to extend gdp's playing time.

Frank, on the other hand, is still doing the same thing. In the final analysis, he just didn't learn thoroughly enough.

In the fourth quarter, Frank wanted to stabilize the team's lead and sent in Lin Shaojie. However, when Lin Shaojie hit a three-pointer and successfully scored an outstanding 31, Frank replaced Lin Shaojie.

In the previous shot, Lin Shaojie took a shot against the three-point defense without fear.

But looking at the people covering their eyes and covering their faces, there is someone underneath who wants to put their feet in black. I don’t know why, but at the end there is a movement to retract their feet, which is not bad at all.

Lin Shaojie himself is very careful. When he completed the shot, he felt that the opponent's defensive lineup was somewhat "brutal", and he was even more cautious when landing.

Although the movement of receiving the foot was not obvious, Lin Shaojie still staggered after landing, and then looked at the players on the opposite side.

The two sides made eye contact on the court. Although it was not obvious, they seemed to understand something.

Frank replaced Lin Shaojie after a free throw.

Although it helped the team slightly widen the point difference between the two sides, it was not easy for the master and apprentice sitting on the sidelines.

Both of them were tacitly understanding each other.

Regardless of whether the previous approach was to be merciful to the players or a warning from Brian Shaw, in such a regular season, Frank and Lin Shaojie can feel it if they give the Nuggets a chance.

After all, after one season, there is still some sentiment.

Lin Shaojie watched silently as his teammates on the court continued to feel cold, not knowing whether it was really cold or fake.

After Lin Shaojie efficiently scored a quadruple-double in the last game against the Kings, I heard rumors from the players that in this back-to-back game, the Pacers' winning rate was overwhelming in the off-court handicap.

The top management of the alliance has also gradually become more accepting of gambling. Some money has been made in vain by others, so why not get a share of it yourself?

As for the Nuggets, they have declined too quickly this season and there is no possibility of victory from any aspect.

But now, Lin Shaojie is watching Lawson pass a lot of wonderful balls in the fourth quarter, and some of Stephenson's inexplicable mistakes on the court are disturbing.

Paul George worked very hard to win. Perhaps in the eyes of this "second boss", he also wanted to prove himself, but when faced with such a situation, he could only watch helplessly.

Chandler and he never lost in the match. The two sides went from close to the point difference until the Nuggets overtook the score. Two minutes before the end of the game, Frank called the last timeout and replaced the main players.

The Nuggets gradually expanded their lead to 10 points, and at that moment the game had lost suspense.

111 to 101, the Nuggets defeated the Pacers "with difficulty" at home.

After the game, the media seemed crazy, holding microphones and poking at Frank's face.

"Excuse me, why did you let Lynn sit out at a critical moment in the fourth quarter?"

"Why not send Lynn? This is a game that we can obviously win?"

The reporters had a lot of confusion, and it was impossible for Frank to say something like "I'm afraid that the opposite player will hurt my player."

The league is all about tough guys. Even a player who is floating outside and shooting must hit his chest hard after completing the shot to prove that it was a "tough" shot.

No one in this arena can say that he is a coward or softie. Players will not do this, and the coach will not do this.

With a smile on his face, Brian Xiao faced numerous reporters and felt reassured.

No matter what happens at the end of this season, he has become the only three teams to defeat the Pacers so far, and he is still an "old coach". Even if the Nuggets' record has declined seriously this season, this honor is already very dazzling.

.

All that's left is to look at the Pacers' next games. After losing three games, they are still the unbeatable strongest player in the entire league.
