My basketball vision is different

Lin Shaojie's off-the-ball movement does not require teammates to provide cover. He can find "bunkers" by himself.

During the offense, it is the best choice for Paul George to set up a pick-and-roll for George Hill, even if all George Hill has to do is pass the ball.

Seeing Leonard being thrown away by Lin Shaojie, Paul George's broad body blocked Parker's pursuit, and George Hill passed the ball immediately.

This smooth offense is due to the excellent cooperation of the Pacers' "Trident" in the frontcourt in addition to the Yincheng Twins.

Leonard had already noticed that it was difficult for him to stop Lin Shaojie from catching the ball. He lost his center of gravity in the opponent's instant change of direction and relied on his core strength to pull himself back. Even so, his figure staggered a bit.

Leonard quickly stood up from his stagger and jumped up with all his strength. Leonard wanted to block No. 13's shot.

But it's a pity that Lin Shaojie's posture was very deceptive. After receiving the ball, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he watched Leonard take off before "seriously" aiming at the basket, and unconsciously leaned towards the basket.

Going forward, his arm was "draped" under Leonard's palm, and then he took action.

"Shh!"

The piercing whistle sounded immediately, and the basketball was still spinning in the air. Popovich heard the piercing whistle off the court and looked at the referee's gesture. Leonard committed a foul.

The old coach got excited and asked: "What kind of look are you looking at? Where is the foul? Which eye of yours saw the foul?"

The linesman looked at the angry Popovich: "Sir, I hope your attitude will be better."

"Which of your ears thinks my attitude is bad? This is a normal defense, no foul, no foul."

The basketball does not stop in the air and plunges into the net.

Lin Shaojie smiled and looked at the expressionless Leonard in front of him.

"You committed a foul!"

"mean!"

Leonard said with some disdain.

"Did you commit a foul?"

Lin Shaojie's words left Leonard speechless. On the big screen above his head, he jumped up with all his strength. When Lin Shaojie "took the initiative" to come forward, there was no doubt about the blow on his arm.

This is a foul.

For other players, the hand shape would definitely be affected by such force, but Lin Shaojie seemed not to notice.

"Beautiful, 31."

Li Dacheng stood up in front of the commentary table immediately. The importance of this goal is self-evident. The most important thing is that Lin Shaojie "pulled" a bloody knife edge on the powerful defender who defended him, which will make the opponent

The kind that scares rats.

Popovich also shouted loudly from the sidelines when the Pacers retreated.

"Lynn, this is Conseco Arena, you have to win with dignity."

The old coach also had lingering fears when facing Lin Shaojie's "foul" tactic. Although this tactic is now Rockets Harden's prerogative, that guy has a thorough use of the rules, but if he underestimates Lin Shaojie's "little thoughts," then it would be unethical.

A player like Nader who is "honest" may not be able to match the cunningness of his opponents.

"Don't worry, old man, I will win."

Lin Shaojie backed away without looking back, not forgetting to tease Popovich on the way. The latter pointed at Lin Shaojie and said aggressively.

"Okay, if you can, don't play dirty tricks."

"As you wish!"

Lin Shaojie gave a very gentlemanly courtesy. It was obvious that the Pacers were lagging behind at home, but Lin Shaojie's generous response made the Pacers players playing at home suddenly feel confident.

"You know, my child is almost ten months old and he looks healthier than other children."

Even though the Spurs were attacking at this time, Leonard was still surrounding Lin Shaojie, who wanted to break through his defense and then create trouble for Parker.

Leonard didn't know why Lin Shaojie was chattering on the court and talking about children.

For Leonard, his childhood was happy, but this happiness collapsed in a robbery incident a few years ago.

The father was shot dead, and the originally happy life became difficult. If the mother and son did not have the help of their uncle, it would be difficult for them to get out of that difficult time.

The name "Father" was hidden deep in his memory, and the appearance of his uncle gradually took over his father's role.

"You know, children are the cutest and most annoying when they are this big. When they start to show curiosity about the outside world, they want to try everything, and they will even taste various flavors with their mouths."

Lin Shaojie was wrestling with Leonard, and Parker took the opportunity to pass the ball to Duncan inside, who took off directly. Unfortunately, Duncan's accuracy was not good today. West got the defensive rebound, and the two sides changed positions offensively and defensively.

Lin Shaojie switched from defense to offense, and Leonard never left.

"My girlfriend once told me that studying, which was originally boring, turned into fun because of having children, because raising children is very hard. I have also tried it. When we can't communicate effectively, those little ones will only rely on their instincts.

Eating, drinking and urinating, we are helpless."

Lin Shaojie avoided Leonard's pressing, and George Hill's pass came over immediately.

Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball in one hand, put the basketball behind him. Leonard, with his arms spread wide, was close to Lin Shaojie, not giving him any space to shoot.

Parker wanted to complete the steal behind Lin Shaojie. Under double-teaming, and with Green still watching eagerly not far away, this 2.5-man or even 3-man defensive configuration was far more exaggerated than the Spurs' defense against Kobe.

This is the regular season, not the playoffs where there is a life and death battle.

Lin Shaojie raised his arms high, allowing the basketball to avoid Parker's pursuit. His strong stance prevented Leonard from forcing his opponent to move. Just when Lin Shaojie broke through, Parker once again surrounded him from behind.

, Leonard subconsciously stepped back.

With only a little space, Lin Shaojie instantly retracted his feet and took off to jump.

Lin Shaojie's single-stroke take-off with the ball made Lin Shaojie fly in the air extremely gracefully. With one arm hanging high, he felt like he was in control of everything.

"Watch his shot!"

Listening to the shouts in the distance, Leonard didn't understand the meaning of Lin Shaojie's previous parenting lessons, but in this fierce court game, listening to the opponent's warm words, he always felt a little out of place, but Leonard felt that he

After listening to it, the other party seemed to be attracting the deepest memories in his heart.

This time the defense was completely based on Leonard's instinct. After knowing that he was deceived by the opponent's fake move, he immediately rushed forward.

"Don't break the rules!"

Parker shouted loudly, but unfortunately, although Lin Shaojie did not take the initiative to get closer this time, Leonard could not stop the impact of his body at all, and his whole body crashed into Lin Shaojie's arms.

Lin Shaojie, who had no leverage at all, maintained his final shooting posture, but his body was knocked crooked under the laws of physics.

From taking the shot in the air to the protective action when landing, Lin Shaojie did it in one go.

There is even a sliding movement to release force after landing.

The referee's whistle sounded for the second time. This time, Popovich didn't yell, "This is definitely not a foul!"

Everyone can see how ferocious Leonard's foul was. Compared with the previous passivity, this time he was extremely proactive. His broad arms were like human tanks, full of strength.

If everyone hadn't known about his relationship with Lin Shaojie, they might have thought there was some deep hatred!

"Boy, you've gone too far!"

West rushed over with a bad look on his face, and first helped Lin Shaojie up. Leonard actually extended his hand, but West opened his arm.

"Young man, this is the last time."

The referee also warned Leonard at this time. Although the foul did not cause any huge damage, Lin Shaojie said it didn't matter after he got up, but a lighter player would not have been able to use his strength in the air to be hit so fiercely.

After a while, he might end up injured.

This battle between the East and the West is full of highlights, but the biggest highlight is the battle between Lin Shaojie and the Spurs. This is what the league leaders want to see.

, the rest are just additions.

If Lin Shaojie is thrown out of a major show like "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu", who will guarantee the ratings?

As for Leonard, he may be highly anticipated among the Spurs' player lineup, but he is not currently being considered by the league's senior management. His introverted personality does not look like a superstar at all, but he has a good foundation as a "blue-collar" player.

To a large extent, he is not as attractive as a "bad guy" player like Ben Wallace. His character is too unobvious and he lacks a flamboyant personality.

Leonard retreated silently, but at this time Popovich called a timeout.

Leonard followed his teammates off the court!

"You have to be careful about your fouls. I don't want you to watch our game from the bench."

Popovich warned: "If that guy says anything to you on the court, you just need to close your ears and don't listen, you know?"

Popovich knows that his disciple looks introverted, but is actually smart, a kind of wise but foolish person. But it is precisely because of this that it is easy to be led astray when encountering a very spiritual player like Lin Shaojie.

He originally planned to play steadily for a few years, but he didn't expect that after Leonard attended Lin Shaojie's dinner, he began to take the initiative to take on the offensive responsibility.

Popovich didn't know what they talked about, but this incident forced Popovich to use Nader's offensive ability in advance.

Although the current results are very gratifying, it is because the atmosphere in the Spurs team is harmonious and Popovich can suppress it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a new player to seize GDP's shot.

Now Leonard's average number of shots per game can be said to be second only to Parker and Duncan. This is the result. In some non-key games, Leonard's shot rights surpassed Duncan's and ranked second on the team.

What surprised Lin Shaojie was that Leonard, who committed two fouls in the first quarter, was not put off the court by Popovich. After returning from the timeout, Leonard was still the core player for the Spurs to defend him.

What kind of trouble is Old Man Bobo going to make?

"It's strange. Leonard has already fouled twice. He is the Spurs' most important defensive player on the outside. If Xiaolin fouls him again, who else will the Spurs have on the outside?"

Both Li Dacheng and Zhang Weiping found it a little strange that Popovich finally replaced Duncan with Diaw.

Lin Shaojie didn't care about Leonard's appearance. After the game restarted, both sides acted as if nothing had happened and everything continued as usual.

Leonard tried his best to block Lin Shaojie, Parker looked for breakthrough or passing opportunities, and Green sometimes fought hand-to-hand with Paul George or blocked each other.

The new players Diaw and Splitter competed with Hibbert and West for positions in the paint. Everything on the court was happening in a tight manner.

But as Lin Shaojie's off-ball offense began, the point difference between the two sides had narrowed to 2 points.

However, what Lin Shaojie didn't expect was that before the big rotation came, Leonard actually hit two consecutive mid-range shots with the opportunity of the screen when he was guarding him. In addition, Diola suddenly shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line. The Spurs actually

A 7-2 score was played, widening the point difference once again.

Although this is unexpected for Leonard, it is not surprising. It is indeed surprising for a player like Diaw to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

Obviously, Popovich saw the weakness against the Pacers in previous games.

A big inside player with three-point shooting range is definitely a weapon for attacking the enemy.

Diaw is the Spurs' best candidate to break the game. Even if Leonard scores more, it is just an addition. His main task is to defend Lin Shaojie.

After the rotation began, on the Pacers' side, Hibbert and West were dismissed one after another, and Paul George was also replaced.

Scola and Gobert came off the bench, and Stephenson was also ambitious.

However, facing the same substitute lineup, from the first quarter to the middle of the second quarter, the Pacers' substitutes were completely at a disadvantage.

The first glimpse of Leonard running without hesitation

As a result, the cooperation between Lin Shaojie and George Hill is still tacit, but the time consumed in each round is by no means the "fast-break little whirlwind" of the past.

The seemingly aging Spurs occasionally engage in fast-break counterattacks, and they are not inferior to those "little fresh meat" teams.

Players like Ginobili, Diaw, and Belinelli who came on the bench showed their first-class performance in offense.

Especially Belinelli, the Italian who originally performed well in the Bulls came to the Spurs and almost regained his life and showed great strength. With his height, he can play as a swingman.

Even when facing Stephenson, he was not embarrassed at all.

"Oh, this is the first time I've seen that the Pacers were still lagging behind when Coach Lin was present."

Zhang Weiping looked at the situation on the court and said with some worry.

During the rotation, Lin Shaojie and George Hill led a group of substitutes and played back and forth with the opponent. They did not fall behind in the situation, but the point difference was only 2 points, and they did not completely overturn their opponents.

In the past, whether he was the main player or a substitute, when Lin Shaojie began to show his off-ball movement skills, he would quickly achieve results.

"I think this may be a tactical arrangement."

Li Dacheng seemed to be thinking thoughtfully and said that the Pacers' tactics seemed a bit unnecessary. Of course, Lin Shaojie's constant switching between with and without the ball also made the Pacers' tactics seem a bit messy. Not everyone is Lin Shaojie and can

Adapt to this tactical change extremely quickly.

On the other hand, it was because the Pacers' substitutes were completely at a disadvantage.

Although George Hill performed well in cooperation with Lin Shaojie, when he faced the Spurs' lineup when playing alone, he would always be surrounded, and the same was true for everyone else.

Stephenson's performance against the Spurs' defense became even more chaotic.

Belinelli has already scored 6 points since he came on the field, but Scola has made 1 of 4 shots from the field and has a bad hand. He was also blocked by his opponent in the paint. Ginobili's only shot was when he came on the field.

The performance of a single player is a fast break completed by one person.

Lin Shaojie wanted to pursue the defense at that time, but Leonard, who had learned bad things, kept pulling on his clothes when he counterattacked, affecting his speed, which gave Ginobili a chance to play fast break.

.

"Is this what you call fair?"

When Lin Shaojie returned to his own half, he muttered softly. Popovich, who was not far away from him, smiled and said nothing. He obviously heard it, but pretended not to hear it.

The old fox is a double-standard monster.

After completing the fast break, Ginobili looked at Lin Shaojie with raised eyebrows when he returned to defense. Everyone could see the feeling of "I'm awesome, come and praise me."

Lin Shaojie didn't take it seriously and responded with a smile.

"Give me the ball!"

After receiving the basketball from George Hill, the main players on the bench were ready to go. Maybe after this round, the main players will return to the game, and the same is true for Duncan on the opposite side.

Lin Shaojie was holding the ball in his own half, and Leonard was just one step away, clinging to him like candy, denying Lin Shaojie a chance to make a fast break.

The steady dribbling did not give the opponent any chance to steal. Where Lin Shaojie's line of sight was, his teammates had already begun to move.

There is no pick-and-roll, everyone is looking for their own opportunities. The Pacers players perform their duties. Their trust in Lin Shaojie comes from the bottom of their hearts. There are many monsters in this league, but there is no player who can steal the ball from Lin Shaojie.

After watching Lin Shaojie's private training, they understood that under that kind of rhythm, normal humans would not be able to steal the ball.

Leonard also knows this very well. He can limit Lin Shaojie's movement, but it is absolutely impossible to steal the ball.

The opponent's dribbling looks very simple, not as flashy as Irving's, but the rhythm changes just with the wave of the hand. If you watch it for a long time, you will still feel uncomfortable.

The instability of dribbling frequency, changes in ball speed, etc., apart from the controller, the defender is most worried about.

Among the 14 points Lin Shaojie scored before, two of the goals were completely left by Leonard's initiative.

Loopholes and steals result in loss of position, so Leonard repeatedly told himself not to attack.

Lin Shaojie kept changing the rhythm, Leonard carefully retreated, and the Spurs' overall defensive lineup prevented his teammates from finding good opportunities.

Popovich thought of almost everything. Lin Shaojie had already run back and forth for two laps on the outside. With the help of his teammates, Leonard did not lose his position.

"Strong throw!"

When Lin Shaojie once again made a shooting gesture, Leonard resisted the urge to take off.

"If it's fake, it must be fake."

Leonard paused for a moment as he watched the opponent take off, as if he had to stop the fake move after he saw through it.

But Lin Shaojie unexpectedly took off again during that brief pause. The basketball was still around his waist. As his gestures rose, it felt like he had shot just past his chest.

It's a bit... similar to the "urine jar" shooting style.
