My basketball vision is different
Chapter 418 Youth Storm
After the second round of the playoffs started one after another, the expert team was almost unanimously optimistic about the Pacers. This is not to say that other teams are not strong. On the contrary, those teams that advanced early have shown super strength.
.
For example: Heat!
But they did not display a crushing championship attitude like the Pacers. Whether it was the Pacers who defeated the Wizards or other factors, at least the Heat did not display such momentum in their first game against the Nets.
It is precisely because of this that what experts are discussing is not whether the Pacers can win the championship again, but whether they can replicate their miracle in the regular season with a complete victory and successfully defend the title.
In terms of players, the Pacers, who "lost" Hibbert, have begun to push Gobert for the top position. This can be seen from the inclusion of "French Tower" in the first lineup in the second round.
Gallic fans even said on Twitter that Linn is their favorite and he is an eternal friend of the Gallic people.
After all, everyone knows who has the final say in the Pacers now. Gobert can take this rare step thanks to the support of big brother Lynn.
Except for the center, the Pacers are almost all in the league's first-tier or even top-tier configurations in other positions, especially the point guard and small forward (forward-back swingman), which are definitely top-notch configurations.
Since the start of the playoffs, Lin Shaojie's efficiency on the court has skyrocketed. There is no warning. He can fight when he comes on the court, and the battle can take effect immediately. He has shown super strength on both ends of the offense and defense, almost overwhelming the same position or others.
Position players have no survival role.
This young man, who is just in his early twenties, is using his youth to lead the storm of the alliance.
All experts unanimously affirmed on this point that the Pacers' road to championship lies in his hands. Currently, no one in the league can restrain him one-on-one. The one who can restrain Lin Shaojie must at least be a historical legend.
Level defender.
For example: Kobe Bryant has been healthy since the beginning of the year.
Wade is even slightly worse.
But now that Kobe is recuperating from his injury at home, Wade is in good shape with the Heat, and he fits the profile of a better player during the playoffs.
But what about other than that?
No one can limit that number 13!
For Hibbert, after the first game of the second round, his life with the Pacers suddenly became difficult.
Although Gobert, who was mentioned in the starting position, performed mediocrely and only scored 5 points, his hard work on the defensive end was enough for everyone to ignore this score.
Among the 8 rebounds, 3 offensive rebounds are reasonable. Gobert's "passing" performance made Hibbert's position even more embarrassing.
The Wizards' twin towers did not have an advantage against the French towers. Although most fans understood that the key to the problem was that the "twin towers" could not receive the pass and form an effective offense, which led to the Wizards' defeat. But Gore
Bell's ability is enough to stand up for such a lineup.
Where will Hibbert go?
Lin Shaojie seems to have good intentions in creating a comfort zone for Hibbert in the team, so that he can survive calmly. All the choices are his own.
But as soon as Gobert's qualified performance came out, that seemingly multiple-choice question actually left you with no choice. You must do what he said, otherwise, his current situation is enough to explain everything.
Now think about it carefully, this seems to have happened since that guy joined the team.
Even Evan Turner, who joined the team halfway through this season, wanted to try Lin Shaojie's level in the training games before he entered the official lineup.
After all, it was a private training ground, not an official competition ground.
Some players are really strong in private one-on-ones. The results are self-evident. They can't win in team battles and lose completely in singles. Evan Turner fell into disrepute as soon as he came here and became Lin Shaojie's friend from then on.
Little fanboy!
When Hibbert couldn't stand it any longer, he tried to refuse the broker's arrangement and seek a solution to the problem according to his own decision.
Taking advantage of a break in training, when Hibbert approached Lin Shaojie and tried to apologize, the latter reached out to stop everything.
"Listen Roy, we have great chemistry right now, you just do your thing quietly, stay on the bench, or stay 'sick,' and don't cause trouble.
What you have to do now is to be quiet and wait until our 'war' is over, do you understand?"
Seeing Lin Shaojie's expressionless expression, and listening to his plain words, Hibbert lowered his head and asked with red eyes: "Why?"
"No need to ask me, we have given you a season and the patience of everyone has been reached, not just me, but also David, but also Paul, and also Frank.
All of us are looking forward to your performance and your stable performance, but you have not given us a definite answer and you continue to squander your talents.
It's the playoffs now, and we need a player who can fight when he comes on the court, rather than a young man who needs constant encouragement from us, who may only sit on the bench, rather than a starting player like you."
At that moment, Hibbert felt that everything in the training base was far away from him. He knew that he should contact his agent and consider the next battlefield.
Being able to say this in front of all the Pacers, Lin Shaojie just said, "Brother, you can consider choosing a new job."
Whether it was to prove his authority or something else, Lin Shaojie who said this has completely ruined Hibbert's future with the Pacers.
Everyone in the training could see it. The tallest and strongest guy on the team seemed to have shrunk for a moment. After that, he even had problems with the basic movements of dribbling. Everyone knew that that guy
The child was frightened!
He seemed like a drowning man, looking for an outlet to breathe. Even if the ventilation equipment at the training base was blowing, it didn't help. Hibbert's whole person seemed to be shrouded in shadow, trying to find light.
For Lin Shaojie, Hibbert felt that he was riding a tiger and was unable to get off. If he apologized, he would lose face, and if he did not apologize, he would lose his dignity.
It is no longer possible to actively seek him out for the first time, try to say soft words, and then treat this matter as if it had not happened, just like the mistakes made before.
For Lin Shaojie, his authority cannot be challenged. He knows better than others how careful Lao Hei is.
If you, a Chinese, want to stand at the top of this league, you can't do it simply by strength, nor by being soft-hearted.
Do you think Lin Kuang didn't have the strength when he was healthy? Being able to be evenly matched with Kobe in the peak battle may be because the opponent was caught off guard, but he has achieved it, but what about his living conditions?
Still unsatisfactory.
The current comfortable living conditions are all created by Lin Shaojie himself. Why should he live according to other people's ideas? What everyone needs to adapt to is Lin Shaojie's rules, not his adaptation to others.
No matter how you came here or what you did before, when you come to my territory, follow my habits, even if you are a dragon, you will be coiled by me.
A general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones, and if there is no "corpse" standing on tiptoes to improve his status, there is no throne.
Successful people sometimes rely not on their own strength, but on the corpses of those who failed.
If Lin Shaojie's guess is correct, Hibbert's future should be unclear.
On the one hand, it's because he failed in his challenge to the core, and on the other hand, it's because of his temperament. He has such a big body but can't clearly see his status.
Even Danny Granger was still steadfast in his promise when he left, but after going to the Clippers, his basketball life was completely shattered within a week, and he didn't know if he could still play next season.
Cannot continue.
The obscure future is a poison for those players who are not determined enough. Changing teams has never been an easy task.
He, Lin Shaojie, never feels that he is sorry for others. At least in the Pacers, every newcomer is well taken care of. Even a nearly retired player like Bynum only needs to play three to five minutes at critical moments.
Lin Shaojie paid enough attention and respect to all newcomers, and he did everything a boss can do.
Lin Shaojie knows this kind of thing very well. If you want to survive in this alliance, it is useless to please. Sometimes the more you act like this, the more it represents a guilty conscience.
Teammates and even others will no longer trust you. Even if your ability is good, people will question you and think that everything you do cannot meet their requirements or meet their requirements.
Therefore, it is necessary to show one's toughness, but toughness is one aspect, and how to show toughness is another aspect.
Some people want to rely on their own strength or that hoarse roar to prove their toughness. After discovering that the effect is good, there are endless followers.
Lin Shaojie doesn't need to use these inferior performances.
He only needs to be consistent with what he says and what he does, then no one will dare to question his words and deeds, and there will even be an effect of "following what he says and what he does".
"I will win the game!"
"I will definitely win the championship!"
How simple and unsophisticated, Lin Shaojie did it in the end, and did it beautifully. Even legends like "Big Bird" were cheering for it, and no one could do anything to Lin Shaojie.
At this time, if Lin Shaojie shows enough low-key and humility in his daily life, the rewards will be tons. No one dislikes this young man who lives a plain life and conforms to mainstream life values.
Those "smoking" and hedonism have never been put on the table, they are just rats in the gutter. After all, this is still a world where normal people live, not the chaos and unbearableness of the "Apocalyptic Age"!
Therefore, Lin Shaojie has always been confident. Today he is Hibbert, tomorrow he is someone else, it doesn't matter.
Under such a mold, some people may call him power. Today's Lin Shaojie cannot be said to be able to dominate the Pacers, but he is not far away.
The second game between the Pacers and the Wizards was held as scheduled. This time, the Wizards replaced the inside combination, and Nene Hilario took the starting position.
As a meritorious player for the Nuggets back then, the Brazilian's strength is still very impressive.
But it is a pity that he is a veteran in his thirties after all. Although he has performed well with the Wizards this season, he is mainly a substitute.
Return from injury, injury layoff...Return from injury, injury layoff.
Once a big player like this gets older, it will be difficult for him to become stable.
Facing the Pacers' almost crushing tactics, coach Whitman had to let Nene play early.
On the back line, Bradley and Wall are still in charge. Facing the Pacers, who have home court advantage, these two are under the greatest pressure.
Before the game, everyone was speculating on what method the Wizards would use to break the pressure brought by the Pacers on the back line.
In this game, Whitman gave the answer. Everyone started running, and the inside players couldn't stand still. Everyone had to help the defender break the opponent's double-team.
The almost traditional pick-and-roll was used in various ways by Whitman.
Coupled with Ariza, the Wizards' guards have gained a rare living space.
Not to mention, the initial effect was quite good.
A big player can stand outside and help with the pick-and-roll. Even if the defensive player can get around it, he will still miss the opportunity to pursue the defense. This seemingly simple tactic is very easy to use.
But soon, the Pacers made adjustments on the court.
They no longer waste energy chasing and blocking the whole court. Gobert and West guard the inside. Paul George, Lin Shaojie and George Hill, the three of them roam around the three-point line.
Zone defense versus pick and roll!
Tradition versus tradition, each defense performed its duties and made adjustments immediately, and the Wizards' offense was once again contained.
Both opponents showed resilience in this game, but it was a pity that the Pacers had the last laugh. When facing the Pacers' steady play, the Wizards' weak foundation was exposed.
It's unrealistic for Whitman to try to solve all problems with pick-and-rolls.
On the other hand, the Pacers' offense is heartbreakingly monotonous.
Lin Shaojie singles, Lin Shaojie singles finished Paul George's singles.
The two took turns attacking, and Paul George, who was no longer troubled by fouls, was almost a misplaced killer against the Wizards' inside and outside line, making his opponent scream.
Not to mention Lin Shaojie, a guy who can hit and pass.
The Pacers showed a sense of trust from top to bottom, making the second game once again without any suspense in the second half.
During halftime, West said bluntly in an interview.
"Our teammates are great, we trust each other, we just have to do what we need to do, and God will decide the rest."
When the game came to an end, the Pacers' far lead made everyone smile. Maybe the 4-0 scoreline in the first round of the series would be reflected again in the second round.
Until the end of the game, everyone found that it was still the same.
The Pacers' tactical crushing of the Wizards is visible to the naked eye.
"Lynn is still leading us tonight. He was very relaxed before the game. In fact, he is the same on the court. I think we will have a brutal game after the next away game, but as long as
With him here, we will not be afraid of any opponent, any opponent."
Everyone knew that what West said was true, but Hibbert felt that it was flattering.
As the head coach of the Wizards, after losing two games in Indianapolis, Whitman said something vicious before leaving.
"Next game, we're going to defend that guy hard. He embarrassed us at Conseco Arena, and we're going to fight back at Capital One Arena."
In both games, the Wizards lost humiliatingly and their performance was not as good as the Eagles. Of course, the Wizards felt resentful.
