My basketball vision is different

Chapter 395 A friend came from afar

After the game between the Pacers and the 75ers, Brett Brown, who looked cold, was smiling but not smiling when shaking hands with Frank after the game.

"What you give me today, I will repay you tomorrow."

Lin Shaojie is right next to Frank, and he can clearly feel this information.

Looking up at this good-looking old coach, this game may have broken his heart.

The only two consecutive "quadruple-doubles" in the league so far were achieved by the 75ers. One can imagine what kind of position the 75ers will be in according to the reports in recent days.

As the coach of the losing team, Brett Brown was properly criticized both verbally and verbally.

"You did great!"

Completely different from his attitude towards Frank, Coach Brown looked at Lin Shaojie with a high regard.

Breaking it down, the Pacers' No. 13 played less than 30 minutes. Even when he was "brushing data" in the fourth quarter, he didn't act overly provocative. After getting the relevant data, he ended the game honestly.

This made Coach Brown's opinion of the Chinese people much higher.

And any coach would be overjoyed if he had such an obedient player, and Brown is no exception.

The most important thing is that he is angry with his subordinates and eagerly comes to his door. Brown has nowhere to vent his anger.

"Thanks!"

Lin Shaojie responded seemingly "shyly".

"In three days, we will go to the Wells Fargo Center to visit 75 people and look forward to our next meeting."

Brown was stunned and quickly reacted.

With this damn schedule, the 75ers will face the Pacers at home in the next game. If they can't win, how can he, the newly appointed coach, have the face to face the Jiangdong elders?

And more importantly, in the next game, the 75ers will face the powerful Grizzlies in the Western Conference at home.

The Grizzlies, who have a "poor" record in the regular season, have always been a spoiler. Not only are the Heat in the Eastern Conference afraid, but other teams are also afraid. Even many strong teams in the Western Conference are reluctant to face the Grizzlies. In fact, their inside line is strong enough.

, enough to torture people.

Judging from the Grizzlies' current winning rate of more than 50%, standing in front of the 75 people is a "Big Mac." If they want to defeat such an opponent, the 75 people are ready to die.

Why does it become more cruel towards the end of the season?

Brett Brown really doesn't want his team to lose more than 20 games in a row. That will make him, the new coach, look down on him.

With a look of regret on their faces, the 75 people left Indiana, and the Pacers were also preparing to move to the next game after the game.

Back-to-back away games are by no means a good journey, and their next opponent is the old "guy" Pistons. Of course, the Pacers are now at their peak, and the Pistons are stuck in the quagmire. When will they be able to get up again?

, not necessarily yet.

The two sides have hit a low ebb since the Auburn Hills incident. They clearly agreed to stay mediocre together, but the Pacers secretly became awesome.

Anyway, facing the onslaught of the Pacers, the Pistons at home had a miserable life. With a record of 25 wins and 40 losses this season, they said goodbye to the playoffs.

There is nothing much to say when the two parties meet at this time. They just meet and do it. For each other, it is the outcome of early death and early rebirth.

Paul George's injury is almost complete. While he has established himself as a starter, his data has also begun to recover.

From the beginning of the game, Paul George showed a strong offensive nature. Almost all the assists given to him by Lin Shaojie were converted into goals by him.

Most of them were Pistons fans, and the few cheers were no more than nothing.

The Pistons refused to admit defeat. If one person couldn't do it, several people would take turns. Anyway, the first half of the game was back-and-forth between the two sides.

For the Pacers, Paul George performed normally. He scored 19 points and 6 rebounds in the first half. The data was extremely eye-catching. He also had 3 assists, which were given to Paul George's good friend Hibbert.

The Pacers' "black and hard" performance was equally eye-catching, and the chemical reaction between him and Paul George also allowed Hibbert to score 12 points in the first half. Just relying on these two people, the Pacers scored 12 points in the first half.

Overwhelm your opponents.

The score of 65 to 51 said it all. Lin Shaojie only played for more than one quarter, with a total of 7 points and 11 assists. Everyone could see that Lin Shaojie didn't seem to exert much effort, nor did he have any.

He needs a chance to exert his strength.

In the second half, Frank gave Lin Shaojie some more rest time. Hibbert competed fiercely with the opposite center Andre Drummond on the court. Hibbert was expected to get a double-double in this game.

Results, this is an opportunity for Hibbert.

It was under such circumstances that an accident occurred in the fierce battle between the two sides in the second half.

An offensive rebound from the frontcourt caused both sides to fall to the ground at the same time, both with their upper bodies on the ground, a very dangerous posture.

Hibbert grinned after falling so hard that he was immediately replaced by Frank during the timeout;

Drummond on the opposite side had the same expression after being replaced by coach Maurice Cheeks.

The result is that Hibbert still has a chance to play, but for the Pistons, Drummond was not seen throughout the second half.

Hibbert can be regarded as a fool with good fortune. He only had some slight bruises on his back and could continue to fight in the second half.

Facing the Pistons without their main center, they completely lost their advantage in the paint. Hibbert quickly posted a double-double and was replaced by Frank.

But "Eagle King" Josh Smith is really not someone to be trifled with. He suddenly broke out in the second half of the third quarter, and ended up in an exchange of blows with Paul George.

Another player, Greg Monroe, was also very good, and he actually suppressed West in the paint to help the Pistons stay alive.

Especially Rodney Stuckey on the bench. Although he comes off the bench, he is definitely the starting strength of the Pistons.

Stephenson was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with him, and was almost overwhelmed by his opponent.

This made Frank and others look at each other in shock.

Fortunately, Lin Shaojie's appearance allowed the Pacers to change their previous decline. The Pacers, who had regained the initiative, connected internally and externally, defeating the Pistons, and everyone could see it.

Starkey, a player with a similar body shape and height to Lin Shaojie, is still no match for the current number one point guard.

Not to mention organizational ability, just purely from the scoring ability, Lin Shaojie relied on his own defense to limit the opponent's scoring. He did not show any other off-ball movements or three-pointers, and the Pistons were crushed.

Starkey, a talented player, has become another "dead ghost" under Lin Shaojie!

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons took advantage of Lin Shaojie's absence and wanted to drag the game into overtime, but the result was obviously impossible. Paul George was not a free man. For him, he was in good shape in this game. How could he let "

"Big brother" continues to fight hard on the court?

In the end, the Pacers defeated their opponents 109-95 in this back-to-back battle. The Pistons' hopes of entering overtime were dashed and they could only swallow the bitter fruit of two consecutive losses at home.

The non-stop Pacers immediately went to Philadelphia to face 75 people at the Wells Fargo Center. At that moment, coach Brett Brown must have been confused, because they had lost 20 games in a row, and the Grizzlies had beaten them worse than the Pacers before.

Much more brutal.

The Grizzlies, who are dominant inside, are almost bullies in rebounding. If it weren't for the rookie McAway who grabbed the most 8 rebounds on the team, and Thaddeus Young, who has the mentality of a center, would have won all the rebounds individually.

Team-high 4 offensive rebounds.

In this 103-77 game, the 75ers could definitely lose their pants.

With a true shooting percentage of 40%, compared to the Grizzlies' true shooting percentage of over 60%, the 75ers had no idea where the basket was, and the entire team was forced to fight for rebounds against a strong team like the Grizzlies.

You have the ball and you are a "small" player, how can you make those centers embarrassed?

So at the end of the game, Brett Brown already knew how the next day's game would end. The players' physical exertion was too great.

So after a round, when facing such a decadent 75 people in the away court, the Pacers looked at each other up and down, not knowing how to evaluate it.

Isn't this just someone who comes to your door looking for abuse?

The process and results of the game were also clear at a glance. Fans at the Wells Fargo Center almost began to leave not long after the game was halfway through.

This game was also the first time that Lin Shaojie played less than 10 minutes. His total playing time was only nine and a half minutes, which was the lowest number of starts, and once again lowered the upper limit of average playing time.

In fact, Lin Shaojie himself had no idea. The opponent's main force was completely in a physical crisis. He was standing on the court, but his shooting rate was abysmal. It felt like he couldn't hit the shots he sent to the goal.

Thaddeus Young, as the core player, only hit 4 goals in 21 shots. This was the result of the Pacers players letting go.

McAway's shooting percentage is not that bad, but he only made 5 hits in 20 shots, which is not much better. However, this player is very self-aware and knows that his shooting percentage is not good, so he takes the initiative to grab rebounds.

13 rebounds before and after, which can be regarded as the biggest highlight of the whole team.

Lin Shaojie also discovered that this McAway is really good. If he can continue to perform stably, he will at least be an All-Star level player.

Moreover, such a rookie was actually only the 11th pick in the first round. Too many people were mistaken.

But not everyone is like this, and no one can say that a rookie is at his peak, but simply looking at this rookie season, McAway's performance is definitely one of the best, not inferior to others.

This year's rookie, the No. 1 pick is Anthony Bennett. He is still struggling with the Cavaliers. It seems that he does not have a good environment. He is already in a "watery" state. He doesn't know how the Cavaliers should deal with it;

Oladipo, the second overall pick, performed very well, as did Trey Burke, who was selected by the Timberwolves.

Anyway, the season has entered the end, and the situation of this year's rookies has been clearly seen. At least from the data point of view, these players are all eye-catching.

But when it comes to making the most money, it’s the Pacers.

Although the statistics of the French "tower" Gobert they selected are not impressive enough, his supplementary role for the Pacers is very huge. He has become the first center substitute after Hibbert, squeezing the "meritorious" substitute Mahinmi.

behind.

At a time when there is a lack of outstanding big men inside, the combination of Gobert and Scola is a heavy blow on the Pacers' bench.

Just like today's game, the Pacers' starting players hardly exerted much effort. In the end, they relied on the performance of the substitutes to easily win 75 players.

Gobert played for less than 30 minutes and had "only" 7 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists, and his performance on the court is far more worth looking forward to than these points.

At least so far, teams like the Heat, which regard the Pacers as their formidable enemy, have yet to find a qualified inside man on the bench. When I see this scene, my heart breaks.

...

Counting from the battle between the Celtics and the Pacers, to the 75ers' disastrous defeat, to the Pistons' home defeat, and then the 75ers' home defeat, leading to a 21-game losing streak...

After losing two games in a row throughout March, the Pacers once again showed their invincible image as the Eastern Conference's hegemon.

These opponents even include the home game against the Heat at the end of the month.

It's a pity that the Heat, who were determined to kill the thief but were unable to save themselves, had to suffer defeat in Indiana.

If you simply look at the game score, the Pacers' victory can be described as a narrow victory, but players who have watched the game know that all situations are under the control of the Pacers.

The Heat's Big Three had already told everyone in last year's Eastern Conference Finals playoffs that they couldn't beat the Pacers' twin stars.

The "Great Emperor" Oden, who they had high hopes for, faced the Pacers' "black and tough" Hibbert, and was beaten without the ability to fight back.

It is strange to say that Hibbert is always unsatisfactory when facing other teams, especially teams with strong centers, but whenever he faces the Heat, he can give everyone endless advantages in the paint.

confidence.

The 13 points in a single quarter were almost riding on Oden's head. If LeBron hadn't also scored 12 points in the last quarter, the Heat would have surrendered from the beginning.

That game, which was broadcast live across the United States, was very interesting. The most exciting scene in the game was not the game itself, but the rotation period.

The dominant Pacers sent out Stephenson, the team's best sixth man, but with his "cunning" personality, he didn't know what to think. During the fight with Chalmers, he was severely pulled down from behind.

other side.

At that time, everyone looked at Lin Shaojie. You must know that Chalmers' big mouth offended many people, and he even expressed disdain for Lin Shaojie at the beginning. Stephenson also said something to the team at that time,

Look for opportunities to give the other party a hard blow.

It is quite common for a younger brother to stand up for his elder brother, but no one expected that this kind of thing would never happen until now.

As a loyal player, Wade rushed up and pushed Stephenson immediately, and the scene immediately fell into chaos. Fortunately, Lin Shaojie held his teammates back, and the Pacers were somewhat in the wrong, and it was home court.

The commotion quickly subsided.

Stephenson and Wade each said "t," which also brought the farce to an end.

The furious Heat went on a 15-2 run in the next few minutes to recover some of their disadvantages.

But when Lin Shaojie came on the stage, the balance of victory once again tipped towards the Pacers.

LeBron had to shoulder the offensive burden, Lin Shaojie spared no effort in defending Wade, and the Flash became a headless fly on the court.

Although the two did not have a direct dispute, Lin Shaojie's airtight defense prevented Wade from receiving the pass for a long time, and the offensive burden once again fell on LeBron's head.

In such a "harsh" environment, LeBron actually broke through Paul George's defense many times in a row and attacked the inside.

Hibbert also had to step up. I don’t know if it was because the point difference was too big. The referee sent LeBron to the free throw line several times. Some of Hibbert’s defenses that seemed to be fine were also fouled. This caused a lot of trouble.

Pacers player dissatisfaction.

This is the Conseco Arena. The referee is taking the defense too seriously!

And the most unacceptable thing is that LeBron actually "extended too much," and when he had completely lost the possibility of scoring in the offense, the "five-step layup" reappeared on the court.

The jump at the last moment was completely beyond the expectations of the players. Hibbert had already reached out to indicate that the opponent was moving. LeBron hit Hibbert on the head with an elbow during the dunk.

Good guy, what is called a good guy, "black and hard" fell down in a daze at that time, and the anger that had been calmed suddenly exploded. Even if LeBron was sentenced to a flagrant foul by the referee, so many players in the Pacers could not do it.

I'm looking for an explanation from him.

Stephenson was talking too much, and all kinds of "fragrant" words spewed out, and then...no more, Stephenson, who had accumulated two T's, had no room to struggle, and was "expelled" by the referee.

," During that game, Larry Bird, who was watching the game in the box, had a frighteningly dark face.

If Hibbert were injured at the end of the season, he would be so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and Stephenson, a stupid young man, would be an inexplicable troublemaker.

No matter what, maybe Stephenson will be punished after the game because of his actions. Even if he is not, Larry Bird will have to spend a lot of affection.

What do you want to do by getting yourself into trouble before a game like this is over?

Such players are restless elements. At that moment, Larry Bird made the final decision.

At the last moment, Lin Shaojie didn't even play, and Evan Turner came on in his place. Seeing that the Heat's situation was so complicated, LeBron was replaced early by coach Spoelstra.

The Heat coach is also worried about LeBron's mischief on the court. The Pacers are not just some simple white sheep.

Anyway, this game was a complete mess, and the final score of 89 to 85 did not reflect the strength gap between the two sides at all.

In this game that was broadcast live across the United States, all the news after the game focused on the "tiddy news" on the court. Lin Shaojie was also a rare moment when no one paid attention.

At that time, Zhuantai and his team who stayed in Yincheng also shook their heads helplessly. When the Pacers were about to hold a game with the Spurs, the Pacers encountered such a terrible thing, and it was really hard to explain.

Fortunately, the next game, the highlight of the East and West games, gradually brought the fans' attention back to the stadium.

Pacers vs. Spurs at home!
