"Hi, silly guy, are you kidding me?"

"Brother, do you want to prove that you didn't get your salary in vain? You are still far from Lin En!"

...

Fans from the "cornfield" are never easy to get along with, and they are all "knowledgeable" people.

Curry looked at Green, whose eyes were full of fire, and didn't know how to comfort him.

This time, the Warriors served "cautiously," and the ball-stealing maniac spread his hands, saying that he would never do that, but no one believed it.

The previous steal was too fast, and the Warriors were embarrassed to lose.

"Brother, you don't have to stick to me so tightly."

Lin Shaojie found that Green beside him had turned into a gummy candy, clinging to him and making many small moves.

"Really? This is my mission today."

Green said with the utmost provocation. Of course, he was also aware of the relationship between Lin Shaojie and Curry and others, and did not say anything embarrassing.

"Really?"

When Lin Shaojie pushed away Green's stalking and went towards Curry, the latter quickly shot the ball, and the Warriors finally opened the scoring.

Iguodala got rid of Paul George and successfully shot.

The overall shooting is very smooth.

After the change of sides, Lin Shaojie used continuous dribbling to get rid of Green's defense. The Warriors completely broke up their formation and used Green to defend Lin Shaojie in a misplaced position.

But when Lin Shaojie repeated his old tricks and deceived Green's center of gravity, he once again stood in front of the Warriors' forward and completed the shot.

"I told you, it won't work on your own!"

Lin Shaojie shook his head slightly and said with feigned disdain. Green could only look at the opponent with fierce eyes, and the game began again.

Ever since he gradually established himself on the bench with the Warriors, Draymond Green has never been so frustrated.

In the past two seasons, he has gradually competed against well-known stars in the league one by one, some exaggerating, and some living up to his reputation.

With Green in the fourth position, he doesn't have many opportunities to confront Lin Shaojie head-on, but given his size, he can do it.

What's even more puzzling is that the seemingly "rough" Green is actually very thoughtful. When standing in the paint, he helps his teammates with the ball. His unpretentious passing can also make people feel that Green is a good person.

"Central axis."

Of course, he also made a lot of mistakes, but Mark Jackson didn't seem to stop his passing.

This player who is non-confrontational and has a great wingspan can always guard against the arrow figures on the opposite side.

But what about now?

With eyes full of anger, Green could not resist Lin Shaojie's attack. In the head-on collision, the opponent's emergency stop jump shot left him a little helpless.

Finally, he was able to fight with strength. This was originally Green's advantage, but the opponent was no less powerful. The feeling of powerlessness coming from the contact's arms made Green have to step back.

"This guy is so energetic!"

Green couldn't help but shout out in admiration. It's no wonder that Curry and the others couldn't guard him on the outside. They couldn't even resist him, let alone Curry, a little weakling.

Green did not lose position within the three-point line this time, but followed Lin Shaojie closely to the low post. However, looking at his post-up singles, his footsteps were too flexible, completely ignoring the power he exerted on the opponent.

At the last moment, he shook himself off and rushed into the paint for a layup.

Chic and natural.

And judging from the eyes of everyone on the Warriors, this shot was equally impeccable.

Under the current version, especially with the "technical actions" of players such as LeBron and Harden, some "traditional" players regard it as a foul action such as holding the ball and shuffling.

Techniques have almost completely regressed, giving people an offensive prowess that they won't get rid of without taking one more step.

In this situation, what do you ask the defensive players to do?

When one player sees a profit, the second and third will start

appeared.

Many players have objections to this, but under league rules, as long as the technical movements are smooth, natural and good-looking, everything will be justified.

Actions that are considered fouls under international men's basketball rules are tacitly tolerated in the US professional basketball.

But when I look back at Lin Shaojie's technical moves, I can see that they are solid and hard to fault. His pivot foot just doesn't move, and his technical moves are simple and clean.

If you tell people to pass, you will shoot. If you say to shoot, you will shoot. There are no bells and whistles.

Even when it comes to three-pointers, others can achieve the effect of the "190 Club". Those players who follow closely behind and seem to be making three-pointers but are actually making wasteful shots are completely incomparable.

Lin Shaojie gradually opened up on the court, but the Warriors had no choice but to let Iguodala leave Paul George and team up with Green to defend Lin Shaojie.

After the Pacers' No. 13 took the opportunity to score two "lone wolf" goals, the Warriors did not dare to relax their vigilance against him. After that, Lin Shaojie's passing power began to show.

Paul George's catch-and-shoot from the wing, West and Scola, who was later replaced, all became beneficiaries. The Pacers' shooting from inside and outside the free throw line was completely open.

The originally close score was pulled apart in an instant.

Lin Shaojie's number of assists kept rising. He scored 9 assists in less than one quarter, leaving the Warriors players exhausted on the court.

"This is Lynn, this is his pass!"

The host couldn't wait to shout out.

"While we are watching everyone start to rush for three-pointers and prepare for three-pointers, the Pacers' mid-range shooters are still stable. They will battle wits with their opponents in the paint. The mid-range shooters who seem to have low scoring efficiency can help

The team is steadily scoring points, whereas the Warriors are a team that only relies on three-point shooting to win.

When they don’t have the three-point weapon, what role do they have on the court?”

At the end of the third quarter, a sweaty Curry wiped his sweat while listening to Mark Jackson holding a tactical board and laying out the tactics for the final quarter.

What came next to my ears was the noisy voice of the home fans.

Curry didn't think he was wrong. His three-pointer was not wrong, but he just encountered a player who restrained him.

If the Pacers' defensive efficiency was not too high and the threat to themselves from the outside was too great, Curry would have the confidence to chase points with his shooting ability.

But it's a pity...

Looking at the impeccable No. 13 not far away, the latter seemed to have caught his gaze and turned back to wink at him. Curry had to give him a wry smile.

That nimble footwork, his fast shooting that made it impossible to defend in the Western Conference, and the few steals that guy made today, all of them came back empty-handed.

What surprised Curry the most was that his one-step jump shot took no more than 0.4 seconds. He was definitely the fastest "quick shooter" in the league. Not only that, his shooting percentage was astonishingly high.

But how does the opponent see his opportunity to take action?

And then completed the steal the moment he lifted himself from the waist?

That kind of slight increase in the center of gravity is sometimes Curry's own whim, with almost no warning, but the other party's intimidating eyes seem to see through it all.

Always able to take the right shot at the right time to complete the steal.

Curry made several mistakes in this game because of this, so the Warriors' star player passed the ball honestly, and even passed the ball before and after the midfield, just because he was afraid that the opponent would defend him closely.

"How many mistakes did Stephen (Curry) make in this game?"

After the fourth quarter started, Mark Jackson looked at the situation on the field and moved his mouth to ask the assistant coach on the side.

The current situation on the court is very unfavorable to the Warriors. With a score of 89 to 75, the Warriors are already 14 points behind their opponents, and the Pacers have not removed their core No. 13. The possibility of a three-point comeback is greatly reduced.

.

"8 times!"

The teaching assistant responded with some surprise

road.

Although as the core with the most possession of the ball, it is very realistic to make many mistakes, but in only three quarters of the game, it is almost impossible for Curry to make so many mistakes.

"Did it all happen to Linn?"

This time, the assistant coach looked down at his record: "No, but 7 of them were when facing Lynn."

"That is truly an admirable opponent!"

As if the knot in his heart had been opened, Mark Jackson said with some regret.

"Actually, our performance was not bad. Without these 7 turnovers, we would have scored at least 14 points, right?"

"Of course, with the strength of Klay and Steph, it is possible for us to score 21 points!"

"It's a pity that now we are 14 points behind our opponents, isn't it?"

Mark Jackson glanced at Frank not far away, who was looking at No. 13 on the court with hopeful eyes!

"What do you think, what if we have a chance to get Linn?"

Mark Jackson's voice was very low, but his words were so shocking that the assistant coach was stunned for a while before he could react.

, the latter shook his head quickly, and then said into Mark Jackson's ear.

"No way, Mark, this is impossible, how can the Pacers sell their core."

After saying that, the assistant coach added: "Besides, even if it is sold, the Lakers and New York will definitely prepare a big price, and Popovich will desperately want to get his favorite team. It is impossible for us."

After saying that, the assistant coach looked around carefully: "Besides, this is the Conseco Arena. Mark, you'd better not say this. The fans here have always been "simple folk customs." Lynn is their favorite, so we'd better not talk about it.

Get yourself into trouble."

"I'm just talking. I think there are many Chinese in Jinzhou, which is suitable for Lin En. That's all. Don't think too much."

The assistant coach didn't know why Mark Jackson made this statement, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with them, but this discussion made him have to think more.

Anyway, Mark Jackson's idea is a bit too amazing.

Lin Shaojie on the court can switch freely between scoring and assisting. When the Pacers are on target, the Warriors' double-teaming has no effect at all.

Even if the Warriors adopt a full-court double-team and all-out defense, Mark Jackson will mobilize his troops.

Whether it's the main players Iguodala and Bogut, or the substitutes O'Neal Jr., Green and others, they really can't beat the current Pacers.

Moreover, when Lin Shaojie was on the court, the restrictions on the two "long guns" of Curry and Thompson were very obvious, and the balance of victory had long been tilted to the Pacers.

The Spurs, who ended the game in Cleveland with a big win against the Cavaliers, have completed all procedures and are preparing to return to San Antonio to meet the Heat's challenge.

Before getting on the plane, the game between the Pacers and the Warriors was not over yet. Judging from the time, it was definitely too late. The Spurs players who were sitting around Popovich and watching the "live game" also looked at each other.

The Pacers' "scientific" strategy against the Warriors in this game is a textbook.

The Spurs, with 44 wins and 16 losses, rank first in the Western Conference.

Regardless of the previous Trail Blazers or the Thunder, when these two "young" teams faced the veteran Spurs, they were gradually widened by the "old cowboy" and gradually gave up their top spot.

However, the scene in last year's playoffs still made Spurs players dare not be careless. This season's Warriors are even better. Although they faced the Spurs twice, the Warriors ended in defeat.

But if you look at the scores, you will know that one game was 74 to 76, and the other game was 102 to 104. They fought until the last moment, and the Spurs narrowly defeated their opponents with a slight advantage.

Looking at the season so far, the situation is getting clearer and clearer. With the Warriors' winning rate, the only possibility of meeting the Spurs in the playoffs is the Western Conference Finals.

But if the Spurs fall behind the Thunder in the regular season and fall to second place, then

It is very likely that the Warriors will be knocked down in the second round.

To be honest, Popovich doesn't want to meet the Warriors. Both the Thunder and the Warriors are teams full of youthful storms.

Young people are full of the future and represent the future, and the declining Spurs are likely to be torn apart in this youth storm.

What Popovich would rather knock down is the Mavericks, the Rockets, or even the Trail Blazers.

After all, those are his familiar opponents, or Tianke's opponents.

And this game, which can be called a teaching game, gave Popovich a glimmer of hope, even if he meets the Warriors.

But who can handle those elite shooters on the outside?

Although the Spurs have a rising star like Leonard in their team, their defensive ability currently exceeds their offensive ability, and the threat they pose is not as high as that of Lin Shaojie.

Parker's performance in recent games has been mediocre. Under Popovich's arrangements, he has only played for about 20 minutes at most, which is not even as much as Duncan's playing time.

The Spurs are able to achieve their current winning rate, thanks to Belinelli, Diaw and Mills on the bench.

Ginobili is the substitute?

Well, despite the fact, no one has ever regarded Ginobili as a substitute, that is, an absolute core occupying the bench seat.

Leonard, who returned to his position and sat down, was a little quiet. "Kawaii", who has gradually moved from the bench to the front line, has average playing time this season that is not even as good as last season, but his importance to the Spurs is becoming more and more important.

The stronger.

Popovich developed him and gave him more and more power. His points per game averaged 13, his rebounds were stable at 6, and he also had good passing skills.

Popovich seems to be trying to transform him from a mere "blue-collar" coolie into a comprehensive warrior.

Judging from the data displayed so far, Leonard's performance is worthy of all this. Except that Popovich is not bold enough to delegate power, there is no problem.

Today, Leonard still remembers that when he met Lin Shaojie in private, the latter suggested that he could appropriately increase his words about shooting power.

Leonard has always been a player who looks dull but has his own ideas. Like Lynn, he prefers to put everything into action rather than talk endlessly.

Popovich seemed to have seen all this, but unfortunately, it was difficult for Leonard to experience the treatment of an absolute superstar during his time with the Spurs.

If GDP is the foundation of the Spurs' victory over the years, then Popovich is the only unchanging superstar and spiritual leader of this team.

In every post-game interview, if Popovich wants to grab attention, no one else has anything to do with it.

Leonard is not a stupid person, and he also longs for attention, but in the Spurs, everyone is one of the puzzle pieces under the "big boss" Bobo.

Perhaps, this is why, when Popovich showed great interest in Linn, other players would have paid their respects to him, but Lin Shaojie still expressed his love to the Pacers without looking back.

own interests.

When the plane landed, everyone at the Spurs received the news immediately.

The Pacers successfully defeated the Warriors at home with a score of 106-95.

Lin Shaojie's 30 minutes of playing time set a new season high after the All-Star Game. Although the Warriors lost, it was an honor.

When seeing similar comments, the Spurs officers didn't know what to say.

Lin Shaojie, who played 30 minutes, scored the third-highest score on the team with 21 points;

The top scorer was West, with 27 points;

Paul George scored 24 points.

Simply seeing this score, one would think that Lin Shaojie was nothing more than that, but Lin Shaojie's 23 assists made everyone shut up.

The opponent is the Warriors, who have never been a rookie team and have the third-highest winning percentage in the Eastern Conference.

But even with such a team, there is still no way to stop the "passing master." The Warriors can be called intensive coordination.

Prevent being beaten into pieces by your opponent.

Anyway, when the core players headed by Duncan played against the Warriors, they averaged more than 30 minutes of playing time per game, which was completely different from the Spurs' average playing time of around 20 minutes against ordinary opponents.

Popovich didn't say anything, but all the players could see that look.

"Do any of you have this ability? If not, just give me honest training, and then we will take revenge."

Well, for Popovich, GDP and others, no matter how good the regular season record is, they are preparing for the playoffs.

The only purpose of breaking out from the west is to kill the walker who stabbed them in the head last year, that cruel executioner.

In the post-game news interview, the words of Draymond Green, a member of the Warriors' bench, when interviewed by reporters are still fresh in my memory.

"Lynn's defense is the strongest I have ever seen. I firmly believe that he can play from the 1st to the 4th position, and even the 5th position.

His strength and core strength are too strong. He defended us, but we couldn't defend his offense. I think this is the biggest reason for our failure...

Tactics?

I'm sorry, when you face such a player, all the tactics we arranged before the game are in vain. If possible, I don't want to be an opponent with such a person, he is too terrible."

A group of Spurs soldiers still have fresh memories of this "dark and hard" guy who was obviously a substitute but was arrogant and looked at people with squinting eyes.

Obviously he has little data and is still a short guy, but in his limited playing time, he still caused a lot of trouble to the Spurs.

The only few shots he took were actually 100% hit rate. You must know that this guy only took a few shots per game, but he showed no mercy when facing the Spurs.

The most important thing is that he can assist. If you look at what he is saying now, isn't it obvious that he is surrendering?

What is this?

Greene must have been beaten down!
