My basketball vision is different

The Pacers lost consecutive games for the first time this season.

When the referee's whistle blew, the players were in disbelief.

It's not that they can't accept defeat, it's that they can't accept two consecutive defeats.

For them this season, the word "failure" is a long time ago. The previous three intermittent losses were just a slight adjustment due to fatigue after 38 consecutive wins.

It's just 18 consecutive wins. Even Paul George, who left the game early, finds it incredible.

In the past, it was Lin Shaojie who turned the tide and saved the walkers from disaster. What happened today?

But thinking about the performance on the bench, Paul George can't put the responsibility on Lin Shaojie.

As the core of the Pacers, before Lin Shaojie returned to the locker room, reporters stopped him on the court and wanted to ask him relevant questions.

"Sorry, I just want to know about the situation of "Pickled Pepper". If you have any questions, we will answer them at the press conference."

Squeezing out "survival" space from the crowd of reporters, Lin Shaojie returned to the locker room under the cover of his teammates.

The game was lost, but the good news is that Paul George is fine and will recover in about three days.

I just don't know if the "second boss" will be able to make his debut in the next home game against the Celtics.

This news is undoubtedly a blessing among misfortunes for everyone.

At the press conference after the game, the reporters seemed quite excited. The Pacers' win was really not a topic, but losing was what the public liked to see.

"Lynn, what do you personally think of this defeat?"

As the head coach, Frank is almost ignored in front of the stage. Against the background of a league's "top", the role of the Pacers coach is equivalent to the man behind LeBron.

In the eyes of many people, could it be that this is a puppet on a string?

But only the master and apprentice knew that these were all groundless speculations made by bad media.

Frank doesn't mind such speculation, just like Lin Shaojie doesn't mind his playing time and whether he @

During this period, he helped the home team score more than 40 points. It can be said that the Mavericks' success stems from the performance of these inconspicuous "small role" players.

Looking back at the losing Pacers, after this game, all the substitutes except Stephenson, including Scola, had their hips stretched.

Evan Turner played more than 20 minutes and scored...2 points.

Scola approaches twenty minutes...1 point.

Gobert eighteen minutes...1 point.

Mahinmi......1 point.

In other words, after excluding the 19 points scored by Stephenson, the best sixth man, the Pacers' other substitutes only scored a total of 5 points. Even if Stephenson's score is added, it is only 24 points. The entire team added 5 points.

It's just comparable to Devin Harris.

Are the Pacers with a "deep" lineup nothing more than that?

This is something no one thought before the game. When the main players performed normally, the Pacers substitutes would give such an answer in this game.

"If we lose the game, I know the fans will have some complaints. After all, we gave them a lot of expectations. This is my reason. If I had scored more, maybe the result would be different."

Lin Shaojie seemed to take responsibility easily.

"Some players are indeed in poor condition, which is caused by our continuous away games.

For us currently, there are some players who have only joined this season, or even just before the All-Star Game, which always takes some time to adapt.

They've performed very well before and you can't criticize them for a defeat.

So the responsibility does not lie with them. There is no need for the fans to blame them. Believe in us and the Pacers. When we return to our home court in the next game, we will win."

Lin Shaojie takes responsibility as always. Anyway, he always says this when the Pacers lose, and outsiders don't know what will happen in the locker room.

But in the eyes of those traditional old football fans, Lin Shaojie's "style" is definitely a model for players in the new era.

You are the core of the team, and you must be responsible. Even if you scold them bloody in the locker room, you cannot accuse the coach or teammates in public. That is irresponsible.

Otherwise, are you being offered such a high salary to come to the theater?

Okay, let’s pass this one. Lin Shaojie gets a rookie salary, so there’s no way he can match it.

In fact, when people gave you such a high status in the team, didn't they ask you to lead the team to victory?

This alone should be a clear understanding of self for all cores.

All actions such as blaming others will be despised.

The reporters thought it was a pity. If Lin Shaojie could blame his teammates after a defeat, it would definitely attract a lot of attention in the media, but the Chinese did not give them this opportunity.

Today, the Pacers' substitutes played like shit, and no one criticized them? If it were other teams, they would have been scolded.

The reporters felt as if their breath was being held in their chests and they couldn't get out.

But then I thought about it, this is Lin Shaojie's routine operation. If you say that this person is hypocritical, it is too false, but his status in the Pacers locker room is high, he can win with him, he will not be arrogant in victory and will not be discouraged in defeat, even if

Who doesn't love a "boss" who can take responsibility even if he fails?

…

After 62 rounds, the Celtics, who had won 21 and lost 41, had almost completely lost hope of the playoffs.

Although there is still a slim possibility in theory, as long as Kyle's people win the next twenty games, then they still have hope of entering the playoffs.

But everyone knows that this is impossible, even after Rajon Rondo returns from injury.

In yesterday's home game, the Celtics narrowly defeated the Pistons. Rajon Rondo, who played at home, scored an exaggerated 11 points and 18 assists without making a single mistake.

If there is no Pacers No. 13 in the Eastern Conference, then Rondo is the well-deserved No. 1 point guard in the Eastern Conference.

There seems to be no problem with the Celtics supporting the strategic guidelines guided by Lang. He is the only giant in the team. After the three giants of the Celtics left.

But being number one in the Eastern Conference is still not guaranteed. He is not the number one in the league now, but the Clippers' "Paul."

As for why he is not the Pacers' No. 13, Lin Shaojie's versatility has made the media aware of him and gradually single him out for evaluation. He is the only active player who can receive such treatment.

Looking back at Lang's guidance, even with his strength, the Celtics are flocking to the teams pursuing him after rumors surfaced that he might enter the market.

Now, "Guide Lang", other teammates and coach Brad Stevens have watched the Pacers' away game against the Mavericks.

"You know? We are paying attention to opponents like this because they have a lot of merits and are worth learning from."

"Young Marshal" Stevens knocked on the "small blackboard" in front of him, indicating that this was the key to record.

"I think in the eyes of the coaches of teams such as the Spurs, Thunder and Heat, they will pay attention to the Pacers' games as long as they have time, but they treat the Pacers as opponents in the finals, and we can only treat them

Think of it as our next opponent.

What we have to do now is to find a way to defeat this difficult opponent and win a victory from them."

The Celtics' next opponent is the Pacers, and it's an away game. Before today, they couldn't even find a weapon to restrain their opponents, but today's game seems to have given them a little hope.

"Do you think that these Pacers are not invincible? Even because Paul George is injured, we still have a chance to steal the victory from them?"

After hearing what the coach said, many Celtic players said, "The coach really understands me."

"But I want to tell you that failure is an illusion, and the Pacers' failure is a scam."

Stevens said something shocking, and even the serious Rajon Rondo turned his eyes away from the TV screen and stared at the coach in front of him.

"First of all, we can't ignore the Pacers just because they lost.

This game can be said to be an accident. In addition to the Pacers' substitute performance problems, Paul George's injury was another factor, but what we cannot ignore is..."

Stevens pointed to No. 13 on the court and said to the other players.

"Have you seen Lynn? In this game, he was double-teamed by the Mavericks players continuously. It can be said that as long as he was on the court, the Mavericks would never have a moment to relax, from beginning to end.

In such an environment, Lynn still scored the third-highest score in the game with 23 points, and also recorded 15 assists.

But he only took a few shots. Can you see how amazing his efficiency is?

I believe that with his strength, if he lets go and fights, it won't matter even if he is double-teamed, just because the opponent has this strength.

Take a look at how his goals came about."

As he spoke, Stevens manually manipulated the pictures in front of him, and some of the pictures he was paying attention to were individually replayed.

Lin Shaojie faced Ellis and Calderon, as well as Marion, who was watching eagerly from the side. It can be said that he completed the shot under the double-team of three people.

Different from previous jump shots, this time Lin Shaojie turned his body sideways, completely isolating the two defenders from the front, and sent the basketball with the end of his high and straight arm shaking his wrist.

That slender wingspan completely ignores the opponent's blocking.

"Hook hand?"

the players exclaimed.

Although this technique is not extinct, there are not many people who can use it skillfully, and most of them are inside players.

"That's right, it's the hook!"

Stevens said with emotion: "This is only that guy's second season, but in this game, he made 5 of 7 hook shots and scored 11 points with this, including a 21.

Let me ask you, what are you doing in your second year?

His shooting skills are the most comprehensive I have ever seen, and he can be called a master in every aspect. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an offensive kaleidoscope."

Offensive Kaleidoscope is actually not a top-notch title. It mostly refers to the many tricks used in the game, and they are all good, but in general, none of the techniques are of historical level.

Jordan and Kobe are not included. Their skills and bodies are combined very well.

LeBron doesn't count either. He can only be regarded as physically fluid and cannot be ranked in terms of technique alone, but he can maximize his physical advantages while standing on the court.

In active service, Durant can't be counted, because he can't post up, just like Nowitzki rarely breaks through the frame. He has shortcomings. If he finds someone who can restrain himself, he will be caught by the opponent and hurt his feet.

, it is easy to lose its own advantages.

Lin Shaojie looks a bit like an offensive kaleidoscope, but his skills are very similar to Gang Leader Qiao. He is extremely lethal on both ends of the offense and defense. If not for the short time accumulation, many of his action skills can be called textbooks.

For example, Lin Shaojie's rhythm and step back. Everyone knows that Lin Shaojie is a player with outstanding talent, but when he is not using his talent, Lin Shaojie can throw away defenders with his own rhythm.

Moreover, Lin Shaojie's shooting is very deceptive, and the defender cannot keep up with the opponent's speed.

There are also post-up singles, Lin Shaojie in the low post can be called a killer...

From a purely technical perspective, offensive kaleidoscopes like Anthony or Pierce can keep up with Lin Shaojie, but these two are older, and in the current arena, they have also exposed their gradual decline in one-on-one situations.

, can no longer keep up with the pace of young people.

In addition, from the perspective of team building between the two well-known Kaleidoscopes, Pierce is more suitable than Anthony, but the latter has a higher market value and is more profitable, but is much inferior in terms of team leadership ability.

When it comes to pure skills, these two people are both standard kaleidoscopes. Fortunately, they both have their own special moves.

"Melo"'s triple threat mid-range shot, Pierce's help defense.

No matter what, the skills of these two people are rare in active service. Of course, from a mental perspective, Pierce should be better and have a stronger sense of teamwork.

"Lynn not only showed his hook shot in this game, but also his forward changes of direction."

Stevens singled out Lin Shaojie on the screen. Facing the defense of Ellis and Calderon, he made two consecutive changes of direction and got rid of their defense. It was also a rare frontal breakthrough in this game.

Lin Shaojie, who went straight to the inside, completed the shot before Dalembert's defense. His action was clean and without any sloppiness.

"Did you see it? For any point guard, if they can have such a partner, what they will gain is an average of 15 assists per game.

The offensive skills displayed by Lynn are very simple. In my impression, they even surpass those of Kobe and Anthony. As for the current Irving and Harden, their actions are either too fancy or take up the rules.

of cheapness.

Ten years ago, or even twenty years ago, I'm sure that Lynn would have been able to survive in the league and live a good life, but someone like Irving or even Harden could only be a qualified starter at best.

It’s almost impossible to become a super giant.”

After saying that, Stephenson shrugged: "That's what I want to say, Linn and the Pacers' front office deceived us. If Frank gave Lin Shaojie the absolute right to fire, the Pacers would definitely win this game.

I don't know why, but Linn would rather assist his teammates and minimize his own shot rights.

In the Pacers, he is the only choice. If we try to use double-team tactics to deal with the Pacers, I think we will lose miserably in the end."

…

Lin Shaojie, who landed in Indianapolis, did not return home immediately, but followed the team back to the base.

Larry Bird greeted everyone at the door. Seeing the Pacers' titanium yellow, everyone who lost the game seemed a little uncomfortable.

Everyone knows that "Big Bird"'s current dream is to break the Bulls' record and successfully defend the title.

But everyone caused violent turbulence in his dream.

For the Pacers, they still have 19 regular season games left to play, leaving only "4" games left for them to lose.

Among the remaining opponents, there are many top opponents such as the Spurs, Heat, and Thunder, especially the Heat and Pacers, who have two games to play.

In addition, the Grizzlies also have some restraints on the Pacers, and the Pistons are also considered one of the "old enemies." Of course, if Lin Shaojie can use his full firepower, there should be no problem with these opponents.

The four defeats are the Pacers' last hope. Even one more loss is not perfect. Everyone is working hard on how the Pacers can avoid entering this flawed season.

It's a pity...the moon waxes and wanes.
