My basketball vision is different

Leonard knew that what was happening in front of him was his illusion. What was happening in front of him was not a "pee can" shot. It was clearly a one-step shot that the Warriors star is best at.

As an old rival of the Spurs, the Warriors have shown a different momentum last season and this season. The star Curry's shooting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, especially in last year's playoffs, which created a lot of trouble for the Spurs.

trouble.

This "quick-fire" three-pointer is in front of the Spurs soldiers. As long as you are not careful, that "elementary school boy" can steal several three-pointers for you. It is very insidious.

The same was true at this time, it was still a taller, faster, and stronger version. For a moment, Leonard thought his opponent was that guy.

Within a moment, Leonard heard the cheers of the fans.

There was no foul, it was very simple, and the previous slow motion was also played on the big screen above.

With just a hint of shooting space, after completing his movement, Lin Shaojie took action quickly, without giving the defender in front of him any chance to block him.

The sense of speed even caused the defender to misunderstand, thinking that the opponent completed the shot in front of the chest. In fact, the shot was also shot from a high position, but the way of exerting force was very consistent.

The false move before the shot was also very obvious. It was so obvious that "I predicted your prediction," which is why Leonard was hesitant.

"Still troubled by foul trouble."

It was a pity for Popovich off the court. If it had been in the past, Leonard would have rushed out decisively, but this time he obviously didn't want to be fouled by his opponent again.

Lin Shaojie used one-stage shooting, which doubled his shooting speed. Leonard was surprised to find that if he couldn't defend closely, the opponent would not give him a chance to reach out.

That kind of shooting speed is so fast that there is no time to block it.

Leonard watched the opponent make consecutive three-pointers in the next few rounds under a super high shooting rate, shooting 3 of 4 from the field. Leonard was a little overwhelmed.

It was as if his useless efforts in the entire first half were in vain. What made him even more uncomfortable was that he was actually out of breath despite his strong physical strength.

After running with his opponent for more than 20 minutes, Leonard could already feel his violent heartbeat, and his chest seemed to be constantly reminding himself that this game was more consuming than before.

"Haha, I know!"

During the halftime break, looking at the approaching score between the two sides, Li Dacheng suddenly said happily.

"After all, Xiaolin is still using his old tactics. Since the Spurs want to exchange money with him, then he will follow the rules.

It can be said that I have seen many excellent players in terms of physical fitness, but Kobayashi's physical fitness is definitely the best in the league. Even Kobe Bryant has to be inferior in this aspect.

Moreover, his recovery ability is particularly strong. During the half-time break, even if he cannot be resurrected with full blood, he can at least recover 80-90% of his physical strength. I don’t know that in the second half, Leonard faced a player who had almost no physical exertion.

Xiaolin, what should we do?

And with the Spurs' configuration, no matter how good their substitutes are, they don't have a core defensive player on the perimeter. If Leonard goes off the court, who can stand in this position to defend Lin Shaojie? I think Popovich should think about it.

This question."

In the Pacers' locker room, Lin Shaojie was lying on a seat, which was rare, with a blanket covering his body. The Pacers' star player had already begun to fall asleep as if there was no one around.

Frank stood in front of Lin Shaojie, with his back to him, and was arranging tactics for other players.

Everyone also understands how much physical exertion Lin Shaojie put into playing in the first half of the season for the first time this season.

Leonard's abnormal defense is far more exaggerated than Paul George's defense of LeBron. Except for a few shots, the Spurs seemed to have forgotten about this player. His only role on the court was to restrict Shaojie Lin.

From beginning to end, as long as Lin Shaojie stood on the court, he was always with him.

Players like Stephenson or Hibbert who are not calm will not know how to react when faced with such a situation.

Will I go crazy?

As the Pacers' top scorer in the first half, Lin Shaojie needs to constantly move for almost every ball in order to have a chance to catch the ball. The feeling of entering the playoffs in an instant will make many people uncomfortable.

But Lin Shaojie did a good job. Lin Shaojie, who scored a total of 26 points in the first half, is likely to break 40 points in this game.

Facing a strong player like the Spurs, it is not easy to get more than 30 points. 40 is definitely a super level. The current point difference between the two sides is strictly controlled in single digits, and each other can be regarded as having all their cards.

Out, it depends on whether the performance in the second half is better or worse.

On the other side, Popovich asked Leonard in the locker room.

"How about it, can you still persist?"

"no problem!"

Leonard nodded affirmatively. The first half was as hard as running a half marathon for him. When he was on the court, he still didn't feel the excitement of fighting against the league's top players. It was constantly stimulating.

Leonard.

But when it came time for the intermission, that feeling of exhaustion came over me again and again.

The physical therapists have done their best to relieve them of the pressure, but this is already the last month of the regular season. Even though Leonard rested a few games due to injury along the way, his physical exertion was also huge in the last half of the season.

.

Suddenly, he is required to defend a player who can make people crazy on both offense and defense. If Leonard is not mentally determined, he may not be able to persevere.

"The game has just started now. There is no problem with our strategy in the first half, but all of us must be careful not to foul. That kid is very cunning."

Some of the players nodded silently, and some responded with smiles. Everyone understood that Popovich had no ill intentions. The Spurs were going all out when the game was played like this. They really regarded this game as the finals.

But even so, the Spurs did not widen the point difference.

For everyone, if it weren't for Diaw's three-pointer that opened up space for the team, the whole team's help from Parker, and the good touch, the Spurs might not have taken the lead in the first half.

Think about that No. 13 again. Faced with such a situation, he could still score 26 points. It is really an exaggeration.

Such a score is nothing. Lin Shaojie scored 51 points with the Spurs last year. He made 13 of 14 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 29 points in one quarter. It is almost a one-goal achievement.

It was still at the home court of the Spurs, and from then on, everyone stopped joking about "Mr. $50 Million".

After all, if any player who could score 51 points against the Spurs signed a $50 million contract, would that be a big deal?

Nike just looks further than other manufacturers and pays more attention to the Chinese market.

Thinking of this, everyone was a little scared. Fortunately, that guy did not repeat last year's "miracle." Otherwise, if he were to score such exaggerated statistics, the Spurs' undefeated golden status would be over.

You know, 17 consecutive victories is already a record in the history of the Spurs. If this game can be won, then the Spurs will create history again.

The Spurs, who are firmly at the top of the Western Conference, are unstoppable. Their previous scoring average has reached 112 points, and the team's shooting percentage is nearly 50%. Can you think that this is an old team?

Anyway, the Pacers definitely did not treat the Spurs as an old horse, and the Spurs also wanted to win on the road.

As the second half of the game began, Zhang Weiping and Li Dacheng in front of the commentary desk also looked at the lineups of both sides and commented.

"For the Pacers, the key to the second half should be Paul George. Now that the Spurs regard Kobayashi as the biggest threat, their defense against Paul George will inevitably decline. At this time, the "second boss" should show his strength."

"I think so too!"

Zhang Weiping agreed: "But judging from the current situation, in the past eight games, Paul George only averaged 15 points per game. His unstable performance at the end of the season greatly reduced his threat. His current

The shooting percentage is only 30%. Many times, the points are obtained by high shots, such as

If the shooting rights are given to Coach Lin, I believe that the scoring champion this season should undoubtedly belong to Coach Lin."

Zhang Weiping is indeed the "Lin Chui" of sports channels, but what others say is justified, and fans in front of the TV or radio also think so.

For most people, they are not professionals. They only know one thing, which is to give the ball to Lin Shaojie at the critical moment. The remaining players need to do a good job of covering and running, and don't grab the right to take action.

.

Just like the era of the Little Giant, if the point guard does not pass the ball to the Little Giant, it is the original sin, and it will be useless no matter how good he plays.

The same is true now. Although the team's win or loss is important, it is not as important as Lin Shaojie scoring more data.

Besides, Lin Shaojie’s scoring efficiency is so high, why doesn’t he take the most shots in the team?

For Lin Shaojie himself, he also needs his "second boss" to step forward and help him share the pressure.

In today's game, Paul George's performance was not too bad. The main reason was that Lin Shaojie mainly played without the ball in the first half. Paul George's shooting power was bound to decrease. His shooting percentage of 3 out of 10 can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Although Stephenson didn't win too many opportunities, his shooting percentage of 3 out of 9 shots was even better. His true shooting percentage was actually higher.

But except for Stephenson, the Pacers' substitutes performed terribly against the Spurs' substitutes.

The strength of the veteran team is indeed extraordinary, even with Lin Shaojie personally in charge.

After the game started, Lin Shaojie continued to run wildly. What he has to do now is to find ways to knock Leonard down.

The latter also knew this very well, even the coach sitting on the sidelines knew it.

Besides, defense consumes more physical energy than offense. Popovich used "Little King" to target Lin Shaojie's "Big King," just to force out the opponent's trump card.

Lin Shaojie, who was running, received a pass from George Hill. Leonard bypassed the Pacers player beside him and stayed close to Lin Shaojie, trying to interfere with the opponent's shot.

In the first half, Lin Shaojie's long-range shot was too threatening.

Even fans who don't like to watch shooting and only like to watch breakthroughs and dunks have to admit that it's not easy to hit a shot under such pressure.

Leonard saw Lin Shaojie step back to open up space and immediately followed him.

Lin Shaojie changed direction, Leonard adjusted his center of gravity and moved laterally.

But when Lin Shaojie completed his dribbling, Leonard had to adjust again due to the subsequent change of direction. After three consecutive fake moves, Leonard found that he could no longer keep up with his opponent.

I had faced the same action in the first half, so why did I feel like I couldn't keep up now?

Parker had already sneaked up from the other side, but Lin Shaojie seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, hitting the ball hard and kicking the ball with his feet.

Leonard was squeezed out of a slight breakthrough space by Lin Shaojie, and Parker also saw Lin Shaojie's intention.

"It's not a shot, it's a breakthrough!"

Li Dacheng shouted loudly, and his continuous outside shots in the first half even made them forget that Lin Shaojie's breakthrough was also very intimidating. At this moment, faced with this continuous explosive action, Leonard could not guard against it.

Parker couldn't keep up with this monster of talent. His seemingly thin but actually strong body didn't even give the two of them a chance to foul, and he rushed into the paint with an indomitable momentum.

Split and Duncan were on the left and right, trying to stop him, but Lin Shaojie, who had almost full flexibility, actually made a 360-degree turn when the two closed the door.

The whole action of jumping into the gap between the two before starting to turn is completely different from Parker's gyro pass. The entire action is completed in the air, and any extra reaching action by the defensive player will be judged as a foul.

In this "crack", Lin Shaojie held the ball with one arm for a layup at the last moment, and his movements in one go were dazzling.

Isn't it just a flashy way to stand out?

It’s not that he doesn’t know how to do it, it’s really not necessary. When there is a need

When necessary, Lin Shaojie is more decisive than anyone else.

The technical action of turning 360 degrees in the air is a piece of cake in the gymnastics queue, but it is rare to see it so fast and powerful, especially on the basketball court.

The main reason is that the short few steps give people a feeling that there is not enough space to exert force, but Lin Shaojie can complete it, which is really refreshing.

Duncan opened his eyes wide, obviously not expecting this from the other party.

"You don't want to shoot?"

Lin Shaojie responded with a smile. He reached out and touched "Dadai's" hair.

"Breakthroughs can also kill people."

After saying that, Lin Shaojie quickly returned to defense.

The aging Spurs will rarely foul when serving. In such a situation, he will not try to grab the ball from the bottom line, but will honestly retreat.

Leonard looked at his big hands with regret.

"Nothing, just hit the next ball!"

Parker comforted his teammates. The ball just now was really too fast. Lin Shaojie's movements were so solid that it was shocking. The seemingly simple movements put a lot of effort on the body. If the opponent made a few more breakthroughs, it was not sure whether he could maintain the feel.

.

Lin Shaojie seemed to be trapped in a magical barrier, and continued to make breakthroughs in the next few rounds. The confrontation between him and Parker surprised the fans at the scene.

Lin Shaojie, who doesn't shoot and instead plays breakthrough, is almost an offensive kaleidoscope.

For most fans, compared to "boring" projections, current breakthroughs are the mainstream and the right way.

"pretty!"

Seeing Lin Shaojie successfully hit a 21 again, this time it was Duncan who was injured. The "Stone Buddha" stood in front of Lin Shaojie as if he did not believe in evil.

But facing Lin Shaojie who jumped into the air, dodged his long arms and crashed into his arms, Duncan was helpless.

Li Dacheng saw it clearly at the scene. After Lin Shaojie dodged Leonard's pursuit, he huddled up and rushed inside. Of course, an "honest man" like Duncan would not give in. That was his "territory"

," The result was very gratifying, Lin Shaojie finished 21.

Duncan interfered with the layup. If Lin Shaojie's stability was not superior, it would have been difficult for the basketball to enter the frame.

But taking a risk, Duncan got a foul!

At this time, the game has entered the second half of the third quarter. If Lin Shaojie can score this free throw, he will overtake the score for the first time and take the lead.

"It's so beautiful. It's all based on a strong body and extraordinary explosive power.

Really, I feel like I haven't seen such an intense game in a long time. In the past, the Pacers played too easily and couldn't force out a full-strength No. 13. Look at this goal, it's really cool...

..."

Li Dacheng's explanation was somewhat unprofessional and highly subjective, but his explanation made the fans feel deeply.

Since Lin Shaojie's efficient three-pointers became popular in the league, every team must reserve three-pointers. Many people even feel that the current game is a bit boring, especially some young players even regard Lin Shaojie as their idol.

When I don’t work hard, I play basketball to keep fit.

In addition to shooting three-pointers on the court, it seems that there is no breakthrough without a pick-and-roll.

But look at Lin Shaojie in front of him, he shoots three-pointers because of the efficiency of three-pointers. When the threat from the outside is not enough to kill the opponent, he can switch to the offensive method at any time.

Look at the performance in the third quarter, how lethal that breakthrough was, and you will know just by looking at Leonard's performance.

In order to prevent the opponent's sudden shot from the close defense at the beginning, now he can only passively step aside to prevent the opponent from breaking through. Although everyone knows that Lin Shaojie is showing his breakthrough ability, Leonard on the court hardly dares to do anything.

Relax and focus entirely on your opponent.

That one step is almost a life-or-death line. Lin Shaojie can jump and shoot at any time, but Leonard wouldn't dare to be careless.

Lin Shaojie's feints and ability to change direction almost had Leonard under his control.

And Leonard still doesn’t dare to give up, even after being broken through.

He tried his best to pursue defense, but the physical exertion was no less than that of Lin Shaojie.

By the end of the third quarter, Parker was the Spurs' leading scorer, but he only scored 22 points;

Except for taking a three-minute rest in the middle, Lin Shaojie struggled on the court the rest of the time. With 17 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, the Pacers entered the fourth quarter with a 7-point lead with a score of 84 to 77.

For the Spurs, who previously averaged more than 112 points per game, their offense in this game failed.

The biggest problem is not this, but that Leonard committed 4 fouls and Duncan also committed 3 fouls.

Lin Shaojie scored 6 points in this quarter with free throws alone. He hit "21" 4 times. Every time, the home fans stood up and celebrated.

Whether Leonard can persist until the end of the game, even Popovich himself doesn't know. He now knows that the situation on the court is a bit dangerous for the Spurs.

Popovich knew that the guy across from him was bad.

Fouling is one;

Leonard's physical fitness is the second one.

The original strategy of defeating the opponent and dragging them into the abyss did not seem to diminish. After a short break, the game entered the final quarter.
