My basketball vision is different
Chapter 357 Crushing
The Pacers vs. the Lakers, this game was planned by everyone as a duel between No. 13 and No. 24, but unfortunately, No. 24 was reimbursed for the second consecutive season, and it was even worse than last season. This season is
It was canceled during the regular season, which made many people very disappointed.
Before this game, the Pacers players lingered in the nightclub, and the "poor" boys from the cornfields in the "countryside" indulged in sex. The Pacers went up and down to be baptized in the feasting nightclub.
Anyway, according to the media's description, the Pacers' players seemed to have had a bit of debauchery, but that was news two days ago. As for Lin Shaojie, he stayed at Kobe's house for two days and did not see any training.
It seemed like the Pacers were very relaxed about this game.
On the 29th, Lin Shaojie took Kobe's car to meet his teammates early in the morning, and then entered Staples.
"Don't they need targeted training?"
A reporter raised such doubts, but when he saw the expressions of his colleagues around him looking like they were mentally retarded, the reporter who raised this question quickly retreated.
yes!
Despite the crazy reports in the media, after five rounds of games, the Pacers lost three games, and one was a home defeat, which is almost unforgivable.
But think about it carefully, have the Pacers ever had a losing streak?
No!
Ten days passed before and after the five rounds of games. Except for the weak Suns, the Clippers and Nuggets were really not bad. Even if the Nuggets' strength has declined seriously this season, don't forget that the Nuggets have a rival to the Pacers.
A coach I know very well - Brian Shaw!
And the most important point is that in these games, the Pacers protected No. 13 so well that other teams even misunderstood that as long as they continued to put pressure on No. 13, the Pacers would
Replace that player and give up the victory.
This is also an example the Nuggets have given everyone.
But in fact, everyone understands that even if the Pacers do not have No. 13, they will still crush the Lakers at this time in terms of strength.
The Lakers, who returned to play at home, ended their losing streak on the road. Unfortunately, the first opponent they faced when they returned home was the Pacers, which also disappointed the soldiers, including D'Antoni.
The Lakers, who have suffered four consecutive losses, have slipped to the second-to-last place in the Western Conference. D'Antoni has been called out of class by fans more than once. The feeling of "stab in the back" makes the old coach restless.
But with such a dismal record, today's game at Staples was also a star-studded one.
It seems that on occasions like Luocun, there is never a lack of celebrity support.
Compared to the Pacers' home court, Conseco Arena has improved a lot, but in terms of quantity and quality of "starlight", it is far behind the Lakers. Even compared with teams like the Warriors, the Pacers are weaker.
After all, the ball markets are different.
Sitting in front of the TV, Popovich had a vague premonition. He always felt that it was possible that this season's Eastern and Western Conference Finals would be another head-to-head clash with the Pacers.
This feeling was very strong, and he had this feeling every time he watched the Pacers' game.
In his career of so many years, the coach has already seen through the competitive state of the league's players. He has never seen a player like Lin Shaojie who has never stopped improving since entering the league.
Most players have a slump, and Duncan is no exception, but that person seems to be born for basketball.
But Popovich knows very well that that successful player has achievements beyond basketball that far exceed his status as a basketball player.
Such a player who has no shortage of food and drink and financial freedom is simply impossible to do so on the basketball court. The last time a player was so exaggerated was the god of basketball in the 1980s.
But even the God of Basketball only transformed after overcoming the Bad Boys. When he first entered the league, he relied on talent to play. Unlike the young man on the screen in front of him, he really showed his attraction from the inside out.
If he had known this situation, Popovich would have spared no effort to do it.
Although the Spurs were not favored by the league's top brass for his impulse to keep him, no one could deny his influence in the league.
It's just a pity that the success fell short.
The Spurs' game today was their first game, and the result was not very good. They challenged the Rockets away from home. The latter had lost two games in a row, and their core player Harden injured his finger and missed the game.
I thought that the Spurs could defeat their opponent without a fight, but obviously they misjudged their opponent's strength.
Without Harden, the Rockets still have Howard. Without Harden, the Rockets still have Linsanity.
The Rockets struggled in the first half, and Howard was also very depressed, but in the third quarter, Howard suddenly broke out into a small universe, and the Spurs' "kill Howard" tactic was completely ineffective.
Without Harden's "containment," Lin Kuangsheng scored 18 points and 8 assists in this game, especially the key ball with 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Lin Kuangsheng scored 4 points in a row to help the Rockets.
Set the stage for victory.
At the end of the game, the Rockets actually made a comeback after falling behind by 15 points. This was something Popovich did not expect before the game.
The biggest reason is not Howard, who has the best statistics. Howard, who scored 23 points and 16 rebounds, was a contributor to the Rockets' victory, but he is not the key player.
The key player of the Rockets is Crazy Lin. He led the team to set off a counterattack climax which is the most critical factor.
Look at the Warcraft in the first half. In the first quarter, Duncan made 0 of 6 shots from the field under Duncan's defense. If the Spurs hadn't relaxed in the second half, this result wouldn't have been like this.
In Popovich's view, the Texas Civil War was a wake-up call for the Spurs, just like the Pacers losing the back-to-back game against the Nuggets.
A team cannot rely on just one person, it must have substitutes, otherwise the team will have problems sooner or later.
As for the game in front of him, Popovich watched it particularly well.
The game has started, the Lakers' @
The second leader, Paul George, is extremely talented and has a very high ceiling. However, in the eyes of a coach like Popovich, such a player is not mentally stable enough. This can be seen from his shooting.
However, many shortcomings cannot cover up the opponent's outstanding talent. Especially in the playoffs, when knowing that one's own offense is unstable, he dares to defend, assumes the heavy responsibility of defense, and tries his best in the competition with LeBron. This is on the contrary.
Popovich liked it.
But in the regular season performance, Popovich could not see this kind of all-out offensive and defensive balance. But think about it, in today's league, most players are chasing offensive data, and few are willing to invest.
Focus on defense.
Fans can't see it, and manufacturers don't like it.
Everyone wants to make their data look good and make more money.
The league is a field of interests, and no one can escape, not even Popovich himself.
On the court, the Pacers had a slightly rough start, but the Pacers, who quickly took the initiative, relied on West to gradually gain an advantage. Marshall on the Lakers side took the opportunity to steal two three-pointers at the beginning, helping
The home team made great achievements, but soon, George Hill and others were no longer spectators on the court. Under the leadership of Lin Shaojie, they put a lot of pressure on the Lakers' back line.
The Lakers players had been prepared for a long time, knowing that their opponent was very strong, but facing this kind of defense that seemed like a "death coil" from the outside, Marshall felt like he was trapped in a quagmire, waiting for death.
Not to mention his, including Gasol and others, they all began to feel the Pacers' defensive pressure.
If the Pacers have talented players like Lin Shaojie and Paul George in their offense, then the defense requires everyone to work hard.
Although Roy Hibbert is unstable, when facing Gasol, his huge body can provide enough deterrence to the opponent just by standing there, not to mention that his ability is passable.
Without considering the offense, Gasol has great difficulty in successfully hitting the ball.
Hibbert used almost all his strength when defending, all of which was on the Spanish player. This made it very difficult for Gasol, who could receive the ball, and he almost exhausted all his strength to score.
One ball.
It is conceivable that under such defensive pressure, Gasol may end sadly after halftime.
During the rotation, Lin Shaojie walked off the field as if he had not expended any physical energy, and Stephenson, who replaced him, came up excitedly.
Stephenson believes that a big forward like him may be at a disadvantage when facing Nate Robinson. After all, that guy is too short, just like an adult who can't catch a "popping candy".
But after he came on the field, he never expected that Marshall, who was pinned down by Lin Shaojie earlier, would actually explode.
Before the rotation, Marshall only made two impressive three-pointers. After that, he was overwhelmed by the Pacers and had no sense of presence on the court.
But in Stephenson's place, Marshall actually started to attack more and more, and with the help of Nick Young and Meeks, especially Gasol inside, a series of assists actually allowed the Lakers to counterattack at home.
Halfway through the second quarter, Marshall actually scored 6 assists, successfully helping the home team catch up with the Pacers.
Of course, Stephenson also has bright spots in the offense. He twice broke into the paint and scored, which made people think he was possessed by Wade. After all, the two sides scored in very similar ways. But other than that, everyone's impression was that he was possessed by Wade.
What's even deeper is Marshall playing with Stephenson.
Although "Ma Dashuai" did not have a chance to show his personal offensive strength, his assist ability is eye-catching.
But everything disappeared after the Pacers called a timeout.
Lin Shaojie came back on the field and stood in front of Marshall. The latter wanted to repeat the same trick, but unfortunately, Lin Shaojie's one arm suddenly stretched out and interfered with Marshall's pass. The basketball that was disturbed in the middle was snatched by George Hill.
Got it.
Lin Shaojie, who rushed in quickly, immediately received the pass from George Hill. Facing Marshall's block, Lin Shaojie turned around and knocked Marshall out of the three-point line.
Being blocked behind him, Marshall took a big step and hit a clean chop that made Marshall "sigh in despair!"
"This kid's steps are so nimble. It's completely different from the elegance that appears on the outside."
Marshall had to frown. When Lin Shaojie blocked him behind him, he couldn't squeeze in and could only watch his opponent dunk.
In the next round, Marshall passed the basketball out early, but before his teammates could pass it back, Lin Shaojie took advantage of the opponent's attack to complete a sneak attack and stole the ball with one hand midway.
Pacers No. 13 is very good at judging every placement of the basketball. During the offense, Nick Young seems to have swatted the basketball into the opponent's hands.
"This is the time to finish!"
Marshall once again chased Lin Shaojie, but when he saw the opponent stop one step in front of the three-point line, before Marshall had time to block him, he watched Lin Shaojie suddenly take off and successfully take the shot.
You don't need to think about it to know how much the other party trusts your own touch if they dare to play like this!
"Ugh!"
The basketball was successfully hit. The only thing Marshall was lucky about was that he did not give the opponent a chance to hit 31.
Rumor has it that No. 13 is so cruel when chasing points or widening the gap.
In the second half of the second quarter, Lin Shaojie, who was back on the court, did it on his own this time, shooting inside and outside. No one on the Lakers could stop him. Whether it was an inside dunk or an outside three-point shot, the Lakers seemed to be watching a man wearing a
Kobe Bryant, No. 13, is average.
No!
This person's shooting ability is far more efficient than Kobe's. He can shoot whenever he wants, and he can shoot whenever he wants!
Under his leadership, the Pacers crushed the Lakers as a whole.
Kobe Bryant, who was sitting on the sidelines, watched everything that happened on the court. This was not his first time as a spectator at Staples Center, nor was it his first time watching Lin Shaojie's performance on the court.
As one of the top four shooting guards of the 1996 golden generation, Kobe was never the most dazzling one, but he was the one who stood at the top for the longest time.
Looking back at the early days of his career, Iverson was far more popular than Kobe. If it weren't for the later combination of the Purple and Gold Dynasty and "OK", and the honors added, it would not be easy for Kobe to buck the trend and make a comeback.
Kobe Bryant, who has experienced troughs, has experienced the most brilliant era, even if the latecomer, "Flash" Wade, tries to hit the next goal.
But in the eyes of most people, Kobe is Jordan when he plays to the extreme, and Wade is Kobe when he plays to the extreme.
Kobe's trust in himself has never been lost, even though he suffered heavy losses at this time and entered the end of his career.
But looking at the situation on the court, Kobe couldn't help but have some doubts. As their group is getting older and Wade is starting to decline, is it possible that Harden, who the media calls "the number one active guard" in front of him, can stop this gorgeous player in front of him?
Chinese?
In the past, most of the duels between top players ended in mutual explosions, and no one could really guard against the other. However, Lin Shaojie's appearance seemed to be a bit ridiculous under the current rules of the league.
When Harden faced Lin Shaojie several times, he lost completely.
Watching Lin Shaojie on the court making sudden outside shots, even if the Lakers' forward players, let alone the back line, went up, it would be of no avail.
One-on-one on both offense and defense, No. 13 has torn the Lakers to pieces. When we are serious, it is a standard zero-block opponent. The court seems to have become a battle between professionals and amateurs. The level gap is really too big.
.
The Lakers' guards, let alone breakthroughs, are considered good if they can complete jump shots from the outside.
Without the cooperation and cover of his teammates, Kobe would have doubted whether the Lakers defenders could move the ball upfield.
In my impression, during the 2008 Olympics, the beautiful country made it difficult for many teams to move on the basketball court. How many years has passed and the beautiful country’s defense line has become like this?
Don't talk about the glory of the four shooting guards in front of you, even if they are far away from Harden.
But when I think of Harden, and then compare the face-to-face record of Harden and Lin Shaojie, well, even that big bearded man has no performance in front of Lin Shaojie.
Take the slightest advantage.
"This guy is so lucky, he was born at a good time!"
Kobe couldn't help but express such emotion. Although they had not experienced the cruelty of the 1980s, they entered the league at the tail end of the 1990s and experienced the power of those "monsters". During the period of the four major centers, sudden breakthroughs like Lin Shaojie
If you go in, it would be strange if you are not rewarded with a few "ass pockets". A league filled with villains cannot give such players a good living environment.
But thinking about this guy's physical talent, Kobe had to admire him. Maybe in that era, this guy was also a talented guy who could compete with the old gangsters!
Anyway, Kobe can't think of anyone with better talent than Lin Shaojie. At least in terms of health attributes, that guy really hasn't suffered any injuries, which shows how much the Pacers value him.
Think about the group of people back then. In their rookie season, in order to leave a more good impression in front of the coach, or to increase their influence and expose themselves in front of the fans, they all tried their best on the court.
Injuried?
As long as it doesn't affect the official game, the coach will let you stay on the court. A famous coach like "Magic Calculator" Pat Riley will let you stay on the court. Who dares to work hard and fail to contribute?
If someone can use you, they will look up to you, unlike today's "old soldiers," who have to see a doctor if they have even the slightest chance of catching a cold or cerebral fever.
Pooh!
nausea!
