My basketball vision is different

After the All-Star game, the Pacers once again won eight consecutive victories. Counting the previous victories, it was another luxurious record of seventeen consecutive victories.

For the things that other teams dream of, when it comes to the Pacers this season, everything seems so ordinary. No one can ignore the 38 consecutive wins the Pacers achieved previously, so in the face of such a record, 17 consecutive wins is just better than nothing.

More importantly, compared with the previous 38-game winning streak, no one can see the decline of the Pacers in this current winning streak. This team, which has experienced reinforcements before and after the All-Star Game, is currently on the road to success.

On the regular.

Evan Turner has successfully stepped onto the bench, and the coveted Bynum is gradually regaining his form on the training ground and may appear on the field at any time.

The powerful Pacers are galloping on the fast lane of the league, making their final efforts to defend their title this season.

As a "nobody", Green is just an inconspicuous place on Lin Shaojie's honor list this season. Not many people take this as anything.

Respect for super giants is a must-have course for those "little rookies".

As for whether Green is the same rookie class as Lin Shaojie, he is not considered a rookie. Similar information has not attracted too much attention. Anyway, the 12th class is the most underestimated class in more than ten years. If he can be re-elected, he will walk.

The player's No. 13 can definitely win the No. 1 pick.

But looking back and thinking about it, even if there is a real re-election, except for the Spurs' Popovich, I am afraid that only Larry Bird would dare to make a big bet and win the No. 13!

You know, a "non-number one" draft pick is not just as simple as third place. The annual salary represented behind it, the team's attention, etc. can make this position hot.

Even if we go back to the 2012 draft, the guy with the distinctive long eyebrows will still be the No. 1 pick.

Even if Larry Bird paid a "heavy sum" to buy Lin Shaojie, it would be a better idea than spinach.

The first moment most team managers see a Chinese player, they don’t get recognition, but a look of confusion. Even in the eyes of most fans, the team chooses a Chinese player for the sake of

The other party’s market, nothing more.

The appearance of Lin Shaojie has greatly improved this doubt. At least, in addition to the little giants, Chinese players are also capable of playing at the back.

As the Pacers' biggest challenge in the Eastern Conference, the Heat have always wanted to return to the first position, but when their record reached 43 wins and 15 losses, they stabilized at second place in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat know their future is only a theoretical possibility.

For the remaining 20 games, unless the Pacers lose 90%, it is almost impossible for the Heat to jump to first place in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers, who have 57 wins and 3 losses, have two more games than the Heat.

field.

Now the Pacers only need to win 10 more games in the remaining games to theoretically completely end the Heat's delusions.

And everyone knows that for today's Pacers, what they are pursuing is not the first place in the regular season. What they want to challenge is the Bulls' league record.

If the Heat have this intention, they can definitely cheer up.

But in fact, the Heat lost completely in their next away game against the Spurs.

The Heat first lost to the Rockets with a score of 103 to 106, and then after traveling from Houston to San Antonio, they lost to the veteran Spurs in an away game.

The score was 87 to 111, and there was no doubt about the loss.

LeBron transformed into a masked man and put on that transparent mask.

Lin Shaojie also wore it, but the difference in appearance between the two was so big that many pseudo-fans compared it on Twitter, which made LeBron's fans furious.

They can't just criticize other players by saying, "Basketball is about strength, not looks."

The main thing is that this season's Heat cannot compare with the Pacers in terms of strength. Although their appearance is just a side issue, they lost too completely.

In the highlight of the Eastern and Western Conference games held in San Antonio, the Heat were completely overwhelmed by the Spurs, giving their opponents a 12-2 win in the opening game.

When Duncan faced the striker that the Heat had been looking for for a long time, the glass king Oden, he shot and scored 13 points in a single quarter. Oden was deeply troubled by fouls. He only scored 4 sparse points in the whole game, which was terrible.

Even if LeBron himself wants to attack the inside, he has to be fouled by Duncan's experienced experience.

In this game, LeBron's technical shortcomings were undoubtedly exposed. After four fouls, the Heat's hope of trying to come back was ruined by Duncan's meticulous jump shot.

Duncan scored 23 points in this game, but only used 13 shots.

LeBron scored the Heat's second-highest score.

19 points!

But after taking 18 shots, if it weren't for the 9 free throw opportunities that allowed him to score 7 points, LeBron would have only scored 12 points in the sports game.

Wade also took 15 shots and only scored 16 points.

Bosh's performance is eye-catching. It can be said that the "Dragon King" in this game is the last face of the Heat's Big Three. His performance is crucial, otherwise the Heat will be disarmed before the middle of the third quarter.

Surrendered.

The main players performed like this, and the Heat's bench was even more miserable. Many players scored 0 points, including veteran captain Haslem.

Looking at the Spurs' bench, it can't be said that everyone can score in double figures, but everyone can still score, except for a few players who only played 2 minutes to test the waters.

For example, the player who was moved from the starting lineup to the substitute in Split only played for about ten minutes and scored 7 points in 4 shots. The efficiency value is still good.

Comparing the two, the Heat's bench depth is almost nonexistent. Such a team will still have to rely on the Big Three to pave the way for the playoffs. Is there anything to look forward to?

Counting and counting, there is Beasley, Ray Allen, and "Birdman" Anderson.

There is almost no one available on the Heat's bench. It's no wonder that LeBron doesn't scream much. They lack too much. The second place in the Eastern Conference is completely achieved by relying on the core of the main force.

.

Then compare the core players of the Pacers horizontally. Paul George plays the most minutes, averaging only 35 minutes per game.

"Lazy" people like Lin Shaojie, in recent games, can be said to have once again lowered their average playing time per game. Didn't they promise to explode?

Why is there no movement!

Anyway, the Heat, who had lost two games in a row, once again lowered their hopes as they entered and exited.

It's the Pacers' turn. In their next two games, the Pacers will face the Charlotte Bobcats and Houston Rockets on the road.

This game against the Bobcats was a bit weird.

As the strangest team in the Eastern Conference this season, the Bobcats actually had a four-game winning streak after the All-Star break. However, a record of 27 wins and 33 losses was just to show off in the Eastern Conference. In the Western Conference, it was the playoffs.

It's impossible to get in.

However, with such results, the Bobcats still rank among the top eight in the Eastern Conference, even better than the Eagles and Knicks.

After the game started, Paul George, as a star who has been feeling hot recently, had an embarrassing statistic throughout the game.

He made 0 of 9 shots and played a total of 34 minutes. Paul George only relied on free throws to score 2 points.

2 points?

Yes, you read that right, it’s 2 points.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Shaojie got 23 assists in the last game against the Warriors. In this game, his assist data plummeted to only 13, which was exactly the same as the number of the fans behind him.

Although the data of 13 assists is definitely qualified for a point guard, it seems very abnormal for a player like Lin Shaojie.

After the whole game, Paul George seemed to be sleepwalking, and suddenly his condition was not good, as if he had taken too many leaves, but everyone knew that Paul George did not touch this thing.

Sometimes luck is so weird that it's hard to imagine.

On the contrary, it was another starter, George Hill, who performed outstandingly in this game. In addition, Stephenson was in good condition. Substitute Scola made 3 of 5 shots. Lin Shaojie scored good assists from these people.

.

Another person who surprised everyone was David West. He also had a bad touch in this game, shooting 4 of 14 from the field. Faced with this situation, the Bobcats certainly tried their best to double-team Lin Shaojie.

Fortunately, Lin Shaojie was very stable and finally led the team to narrowly defeat the opponent by 4 points with a score of 81 to 77.

The 81 points scored by the Pacers also set a new scoring low this season.

This is also another record for the Pacers after the All-Star game.

For Paul George, this was an extremely embarrassing game. Although it was an away game, the away fans did not give up mocking him.

If Indiana treats Paul George as a treasure, then Charlotte treats Paul George as "grass!"

"That's it?"

This was everyone's doubts after the game. The Pacers' second-in-command had lost face.

It rained all night and moved to the Toyota Center. When the Pacers faced the Rockets, they encountered trouble again.

If they win this game, the gap between them and the Heat will be further widened.

But in this game, the Rockets, playing at home, used their strength to return to the top three in the Western Conference and abruptly won the victory over the Pacers, the league's No. 1 team. If they want to completely cut off the idea of ​​​​the Heat, the Pacers must keep up their efforts.

Harden was locked up by Lin Shaojie in the first quarter, but the game exploded in the second and third quarters. He scored 20 points and 3 steals in just over two quarters.

Stephenson, who was Lin Shaojie's substitute, made 2 of 8 shots in the game and only scored 4 points.

No matter how high Stephenson's voice is in the market, after all, he is just a substitute, barely able to squeeze into the ranks of players with "pseudo-tens of millions of dollars per year".

Against the backdrop of the opponent, Paul George took 14 shots in the game, and only 3 of them went into the frame. He scored 10 points on free throws, which saved his face.

Lin Shaojie once again encountered a crazy double-team from his opponent, but this time, no one stepped forward to share the burden for Lin Shaojie.

David West's performance was much better than in the previous game, but he only scored 15 points with a shooting percentage of less than 50%.

Lin Shaojie scored a team-high 19 points on 10 shots, and also had 16 assists, which can only be said to be barely qualified.

On the other hand, the Rockets' Harden scored a game-high 28 points and was the main contributor to the Rockets' victory. The highly anticipated Howard also did not perform well, but he also scored 15 points.

Lin Kuangsheng served as a substitute and scored 11 points.

In this game, Harden was the Rockets' winner on the surface, but actually it was the bench that won.

Under the control of a certain Lei, the current Rockets can be considered to be strong.

The most important thing is the home court advantage, which allowed their substitutes to score more than 30 points. The Pacers' substitutes are not considered weak, but it is a pity that the main players "have diarrhea."

Frank's substitutions were still not decisive enough, allowing Paul George and others to take up too much playing time on the court, and ultimately there was not much left for the bench.

With a score of 89 to 102, the Pacers lost impeccably.

This also brought their 18-game winning streak to an end.

"It turns out that the walkers are not invincible!"

The Pacers, who suffered their fourth defeat of the season against the Rockets, don't have much to lose in the remaining 19 games.

In 1995, the Bulls only lost ten games in a season. If they want to break this record, the current Pacers still have a great chance, but they have lost four games, and only six games are "possible".

"operational" space.

In these two games, Paul George's unexpected "thunder" surprised everyone.

A record of one win and one loss is not a reflection of the Pacers' strength. Even though Lin Shaojie is recognized as a player with superior strength, it is still difficult to save the team's defeat.

When those opponents began to double-team him crazily, Paul George's "sink" cast a shadow on the Pacers fans' winning rate in the following games.

Maybe, the remaining 19 games are not so easy to play.

On March 10, after leaving Houston for a short rest in Dallas, the Pacers faced the Mavericks at home and launched a "redemption" battle.

Before the game started, reporters never stopped criticizing Paul George. Almost everyone regarded him as the reason for the Pacers' last game failure.

Fortunately, during yesterday's break, Paul George accepted "counseling" from Frank, Lin Shaojie and others, and did not take these words to heart.

After the game started, Lin Shaojie also tried his best to play for Paul George. The core five players in the starting lineup wanted Paul George to use practical actions to slap the reporters in the face who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

As the opponent, the Mavericks sent out their aging warriors. Nowitzki can continue to fight. With the addition of Marion, coupled with Monta Ellis...

On paper, the Mavericks' five-man starting lineup does not have the strength to challenge.

On the one hand, Nowitzki is older, and the Pacers have West and Hibbert who can take turns to restrict him and push him out of the paint as much as possible.

Mavericks center Dalembert is not that kind of powerful player, and he doesn't have much possession of the ball. He is defeated by players like Hibbert.

Calderon and Ellis are both Lin Shaojie's "small blessings." The first two regard Lin Shaojie as the master of his suffering, and will be cautious no matter who they are.

This is also true. After the game started, the Pacers were full of pressure. Lin Shaojie's defensive strength showed that Calderon and Ellis hardly had any effective cooperation.

Looking back at the Pacers' offense, Paul George changed the decline from the previous two games, rushing into the paint from time to time and dunking hard on Dalembert's head.

In the first quarter, Paul George made two free throws and grabbed two offensive rebounds, both of which were taken over Dalembert's head.

The aging Mavericks were completely unable to attack effectively under Paul George's crazy offensive.

But it was precisely because of Paul George's excessive impact that he even had a dunk that landed without buffering during the confrontation. The fans in front of the TV were very happy to see it, but Frank and Lin Shaojie on the court had a headache watching it.

Sure enough, Paul George felt slight discomfort after landing and was replaced by Stephenson during the rotation.

Lin Shaojie also went down at the same time, and Evan Turner got a chance to play.

Usually at this time, Paul George can continue to stand on the court and fight, but at this time, Frank wants Paul George to rest.

During this rotation, the offensive duo composed of the Mavericks' Devin Harris and "Uncle Carter" completely overwhelmed the Pacers' players during the rotation.

The Pacers, who originally had an advantage in the lineup and had one of the best substitutes in the league, were defeated in an instant when faced with the Mavericks' rotation.

A devastating defeat occurred that no one could have predicted.

The Pacers, who still had an absolute advantage in the first quarter, lost the score to 52-43 at the end of the half.

The 9-point gap was not big, but when Shaojie Lin came on the court in the third quarter, bringing with him Paul George who said he didn't care, the Pacers were still overwhelmed by the Mavericks at that moment.

The Mavericks' threat to Lin Shaojie is very direct, that is, double-teaming.

Whether it's Ellis, Carter, or Harris and others, the prerequisite for them to attack on the court is to defeat their opponents on the defensive end.

As long as No. 13 is present, we will never relax our guard over him.

Lin Shaojie was troubled by the opponent's turns of double-teaming, but Lin Shaojie was not afraid of this situation. The Pacers' players could also stand up, but none of this could stop the fiery touch of Harris and others on the opposite side.

Harris was like a god today, shooting 4 of 6 three-pointers. He scored 24 points during the rotation alone, far more than Ellis, who started the game.

Carter also scored more than ten points. His three-point shooting percentage is not high, but his mid-range shooting accuracy is scary.

The "old guy" is still able to actively respond on the defensive end despite his age. He is not like the "dunker" in the impression.

The change in playing style allowed Carter to still gallop on the court.

When the score was halfway through the fourth quarter, after Paul George completed the dunk during the chasing period, he once again expressed discomfort in his footsteps. Frank raised his hands and surrendered.

Paul George was helped down by Lin Shaojie. Although it seemed to be a minor injury, no one questioned it. Lin Shaojie also carefully protected the "second boss."

Like a patient who hasn't had a cold for a long time and is struck by illness, the Pacers can't afford to lose Paul George just yet.

Seeing Lin Shaojie off the court, the Mavericks finally completed a wave of offense. Ellis, who had not performed well before, took turns attacking the Pacers' inside line and scored 7 points in less than half a quarter, bringing his total score to 25 points.

, became the highest in the audience.

When the buzzer sounded, the home fans cheered. The Pacers, who were unmatched in the league, lost consecutive games for the first time this season, losing to the Dallas Mavericks.
