My basketball vision is different

Chapter 412: A Good Start

Millsap's movements are impeccable. He was used as the core as soon as he joined the team. His strength is certainly unparalleled. Paul George himself has difficulty defending the opponent. The guy's combination of back-up and change of direction is very intimidating.

, the basic moves are far more solid than LeBron's.

"careful!"

Paul George's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Millsap's heart tightened. When his attention was behind him, the Pacers' No. 13 ran over at some point.

The distance between the two sides is still quite far, and logically speaking, it is not enough. With Millsap's technical movements, he can completely avoid this sudden steal.

But Lin Shaojie suddenly stretched out his hand and rushed over with his whole body horizontally in the air.

As soon as Millsap raised the basketball to his chest, the opponent slapped it down firmly.

"Crack!"

Millsap felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him. When he saw clearly, Lin Shaojie had already gotten up from the ground. The basketball he stole had fallen into the hands of George Hill. The Pacers once again

Launch a quick attack.

"Holy shit! This has just begun, do you need to work so hard?"

"What did I just see?"

The fans in front of the TV were a little excited, and so were the fans at the scene.

Lin Shaojie's whole body seemed to fly out of the camera interface when he made the steal. His entire body was almost parallel to the ground. If it weren't for the protective action when he landed after the successful steal, there would be no need to fight so hard for the ball.

As the core leader of the Pacers, Lin Shaojie showed such momentum that he clearly told the invading enemies that it was impossible, absolutely impossible, to take victory away from the Pacers.

As Paul George received a pass from his teammate and ended with a beautiful dunk, the Pacers got off to a dreamy 4-0 start.

In this round, Lin Shaojie had no other statistics except a steal, but more than 60-70% of the credit for this goal must be attributed to him.

Millsap couldn't believe it. Just now, he was holding the ball with both hands. When Lin Shaojie swung his palm, he felt helpless. It seemed that the palm was not made of human flesh, but made of steel and iron bones.

"Hibbert is actually right, we all have to listen to that guy."

When Paul George retreated from defense, he said to Millsap from a distance of one meter: "That guy is too ruthless. We can't beat him, so he is the boss. Is there a problem?"

Millsap did not expect that Paul George, such a polished commander, would directly admit that they would all listen to the Chinese man.

How could he be the kind of person who said such cowardly words in such an arrogant tone?

This is a very embarrassing thing. Even if it is true, many people still want to label themselves as "tough" so that they cannot be looked down upon by others.

What Millsap didn't expect was that Teague's behavior said it all. The Hawks point guard didn't dare to show off his skills in front of Lin Shaojie, and almost always avoided him on the court.

Lin Shaojie's flying figure on the defensive end put a lot of pressure on the opponent. The Hawks did not dare to stay with the ball inside and outside the three-point line. They always had to be careful about the defensive pressure brought by the Pacers.

George Hill and Paul George even tried their best to cooperate with Lin Shaojie. Throughout the first quarter of the game, the Hawks were beaten a little.

The score of 26 to 17 also said it all.

"Just fight like this, and we will definitely get a good start."

Taking advantage of the break, Li Dacheng waved his fists. The atmosphere at the home court was so good that the fans would shout "mvp!" from time to time.

Based on the record achieved by the Pacers this year, there is no doubt that the honor that fell to Lin Shaojie after the first round has been exaggerated by some media. They have begun to discuss whether Lin Shaojie is qualified to be selected into the top 50. It is really this "rookie" in his

His performance in his "rookie" season was so outstanding that we have never seen such a player in history.

Hibbert sat on the bench, looking at the group of smiling teammates. He used to be one of them, but because he said something wrong, the "harmonious" and "friendly" atmosphere was gone.

He left.

Lin Shaojie couldn't see Hibbert's contradictory thoughts. In this world, you have to have a sense of awe. If a person loses a sense of awe and starts to wander, then he is almost dead.

Hibbert seems to be trapped in such a vicious cycle. Many people can see his inexplicable pride and want to prove that the team's inside line cannot do without him.

"We will continue to maintain a high-pressure policy against the Eagles in the next term. We hope every player will not relax defensively. In such a high-pressure state, they will not last long."

After Frank finished setting up, Lin Shaojie said in a deep voice to the players who were about to take the field.

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

Gobert replaced Mahinmi in the second quarter, and Stephenson replaced George Hill.

Facing the adjusted Pacers, the Hawks wanted to take advantage of the opponent's "new arrival" to show off their power and recover some points at the same time.

However, Lin Shaojie can defend Teague on the outside and handle Millsap on the inside. He can be used as two people. The Hawks' opening plan completely failed.

"The eagle is so calculating!"

Li Dacheng watched Lin Shaojie succeed in stealing again, and he got it from the Eagles' inside man Antic.

After coming on the field, Gobert showed the immaturity of a "rookie". He was too proactive in defense and gave the opponent a chance. However, Lin Shaojie's defense was too timely. The tall Antic was slow in front of Lin Shaojie's speed.

Like a snail.

Everyone knew that Lin Shaojie wanted to steal the ball, including Antic himself, but when he stood up with the ball in both hands and tried to dunk it, he failed at the moment he flew away.

Lin Shaojie grabbed the ball with one hand and nakedly showed off his strength. The feeling of invincibility shocked the Eagles' insiders.

In the second quarter, due to the appearance of Stephenson and Gobert, the Pacers focused more on defense and played fast breaks. Facing such a lineup, it became increasingly difficult for the Hawks to score.

In particular, Stephenson is a good player at hitting downwind balls. When he plays with Lin Shaojie, he doesn't need to think about passing the ball at all. What he has to do is how to score in the chaos.

In such a chaotic battle, Stephenson, who scored 8 points in a single quarter, was showing off his power. After successfully scoring a goal, his antics at home attracted cheers from the fans.

Of course, this will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the Eagles' soldiers, but in the face of inferior skills, they have to focus on defense.

Lin Shaojie's ghostly pass was the first thing they had to guard against, but it had little effect. Today's Pacers players didn't feel bad, so the double team they originally planned to double-team didn't take shape.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, Lin Shaojie did not fire with all his strength, otherwise the eagle would have been transformed into a human being.

As the coach, Budenholzer had a deep headache. The intimidation brought by Lin Shaojie on the court was too strong.

A player with a strong sense of presence and full of intelligence can always make the tactics of both sides appear one-sided.

Even Gobert, a rookie who can't attack and only defends, scored 4 points on the court. The Hawks' tactics were a complete failure.

The first one is that Jeff Teague cannot break through Lin Shaojie's defense, and the other is that Millsap is trapped in the joint defense of Paul George and Lin Shaojie, making it difficult to make a difference.

Korver and Carroll did have a chance, but it was difficult to receive a comfortable pass, and Korver's shooting percentage today was average.

He took 7 shots from outside the three-point line and only made 1 hit. He was completely different from his usual self.

"It's impossible for the Eagles to win this game."

At the end of halftime, the Pacers led their opponents by 17 points into the second half with a score of 55-38, and the entire Conseco Arena became a sea of ​​joy.

With the current strength of the Pacers, the Hawks want to recover 17 points in a single quarter unless all players feel overwhelmed.

But with the Eagles' bench, it's difficult for them to do such a thing.

In the locker room, the Eagles' players looked ugly. This game had already given them a taste of failure.

"Jeff, you must take more shots in the second half."

Teague was named by coach Budenholzer. His passing effect was not good in the first half, but under the cover of his teammates, his shooting percentage was pretty good, at least much better than Korver and others.

"The other players will help you get rid of that guy."

Everyone understands who the coach is talking about. Budenholzer was not in charge of the Hawks' lineup last season and did not have a deep impression of Lin Shaojie. This season, the Pacers have dominated the league with a record-breaking winning streak and season record.

It left many fans stunned.

The Hawks are not that giant killer. From the main players to the substitutes, everyone understands the gap between them.

After the start of the second half, Teague really increased the time he held the ball. The whole team's behavior of covering for him also made Teague's shots continue to increase.

Although the shooting percentage is not as exaggerated as Lin Shaojie, the Eagles' scores have steadily increased.

On the Pacers' side, due to the Eagles' attempt to chase points after the game started, Antic, who was in the paint, made a big move, which aroused West's dissatisfaction. The two almost clashed, but fortunately the referee stopped it immediately.

"That boy's actions are too dirty."

It was Paul George's layup just now, and Antic actually extended his black foot. West could see it clearly.

Although Paul George was not injured as a result, no one would have wished for the Pacers' second-in-command to end due to injury on such an occasion.

But since then, the Eagles seemed to have learned something, and their movements have become bigger and bigger, while the Pacers' touch has become cold.

Seeing this situation and the loose standards of the referees, everyone realized that the playoffs were indeed extraordinary.

Teague scored 10 points in the first half of the quarter, and with the scores of his teammates, they actually outscored 17-6 and recovered 11 points, almost allowing the away Hawks to see the dawn of victory.

"What's going on?"

Frank quickly made adjustments. Now the Pacers are in urgent need of chasing points: "Give the ball to Lynn!"

Lin Shaojie nodded: "Let George play, I need his passing!"

As Lin Shaojie moved without the ball after his reappearance, the fans at the scene roared crazily.

"Score!"

"Score!"

"Score!"

...

Everyone knows that Lin Shaojie has only one goal at this time, which is to score. As long as the basketball is in his hands, it will be the end.

Budenholzer also shouted loudly off the court: "Double-team, don't give him a chance!"

But Lin Shaojie's movement is not that simple. He is like a football quarterback, running crazily on the court.

Rapid acceleration, sudden stop, and change of direction to escape. After these series of actions, Teague was useless in the first round.

He didn't have strong ankles at all, and he didn't dare to make such an exaggerated escape move like Lin Shaojie did.

George Hill will always send his pass the first time.

Maybe George Hill's passing is not as brilliant as Lin Shaojie's, but for Lin Shaojie, it is enough.

Except for the center position, the Hawks' other players have an overall advantage in height, but they cannot pose a substantial threat to Lin Shaojie's offense.

Under double teaming, Lin Shaojie's back flying in the air was extremely elegant.

"Whoosh!"

Projecting head-on towards two people, unreasonable;

The defense that almost covered his face was in vain.

“So beautiful!”

Just like Lin Shaojie's steal on defense, everyone knew he was going to shoot, but the Hawks just couldn't prevent it.

Teague's shooting percentage of over 50% gave the Hawks a glimmer of hope, but when Lin Shaojie made 8 of 10 shots and scored 21 points in a single quarter, all the Hawks players knew that their hope of winning was gone.

Less than three minutes into the fourth quarter, Jeff Teague and Millsap were replaced by the coach, which was regarded as surrender.

Frank also made adjustments. Lin Shaojie and Paul George came off the court together. The Pacers' twin stars looked at each other and smiled, which was photographed by reporters.

Two people attended this game together. Lin Shaojie and Paul George played 35 minutes, which helped the team get off to a good start.

Together they scored 71 points and were the biggest contributors to the victory in this game.

Everyone knows that the game has ended early, and everyone's focus is always on the aftermath.

More importantly, the Pacers did not give Hibbert a minute of playing time, and the almost "refrigerated" operation method allowed the Pacers to see their decision.

"Those who make mistakes must be punished."

This is what Frank said in the locker room after the game. When the coach attended the press conference and faced reporters' questions, he flatly denied it.

"It's impossible. We are a united team. Roy needs to rest for a few games due to his health. As you know, he suffers from sports-induced asthma..."

Well, reporters could only respond speechlessly to Frank's explanation.

Thinking about the two people who had a deep relationship as a master and apprentice back then, and now they are in such trouble because of the unity of the team as they are defending the championship, it makes people feel a little sad that things have changed.

You know, when Frank was an assistant coach, he helped Hibbert improve his inside skills and learn to control his emotions.

Now one is the head coach and is in charge of a team; the other is the core starter but is placed on the bench.

Depending on the location, the angle of thinking about the problem will be different.

Hibbert sighed and was picked up by his agent after the game.

"The Hawks don't have a strong inside line, so your current value will not be reflected. When the Pacers are in trouble, they should be able to think of you."

"Didn't you ask me to apologize to Lynn and Paul George?"

Hibbert was a little confused.

"It's now time. I think it's impossible for you two to go back to the beginning. It's time for you to consider moving on."

The agent said helplessly that in the first game of the playoffs, if the Pacers could let Hibbert play, with his strength, at least the Pacers would have no worries inside. The Hawks' inside line was too weak.

But it's a pity that the Pacers didn't give Hibbert any chance at all.

But it will be different after entering the second round. A team that can reach the second round will definitely have capable players inside, and it is not certain who will need whom by then.

That's when Hibbert proved his worth.
