My basketball vision is different

In all the games between the Spurs and the Pacers, everyone, whether fans or industry experts, is saying that the Pacers' disadvantage is the inside line. Even if the entire team is intact and Paul George is not injured, Hibbert can still stand in the main position.

.

When the Pacers face the Spurs, their inside line is definitely not comparable to the latter's. In terms of relative strength, it has been repeated throughout the league. Only the Grizzlies have the confidence to say that they are not afraid of the Spurs' inside line. Other teams stand tall.

I don’t even have the confidence to get up.

The Spurs' insiders are well known, but in fact, the Spurs have achieved such good results this season precisely because of Tony Parker's super performance, coupled with Leonard's assistance, the "French Trot" has released powerful energy this season, leading

The team achieved a rare victory.

But it is a pity that the Spurs once again returned to "tradition" when facing the Pacers. Their outside line failed to perform, and they still had to rely on the inside line to win.

Even without Paul George, Lin Shaojie's configuration with other players is not bad, but Parker, the core of the Spurs, suffers too much from him.

Look at the current situation, Parker has been beaten off the court to "rest".

Perhaps only the Spurs' insiders can bring some hope to San Antonio fans!

But with Mills' outbreak, Spurs fans will of course have more fantasies.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Shaojie did not follow common sense. He did not start from the outside, nor did he pass the ball. He rushed directly into the inside and deceived Matt Bonner.

This was obviously an intention to cause a foul. Popovich was shocked off the court and stood up immediately.

Isn’t it said that the Spurs’ inside line is very strong and deep? Isn’t Matt Bonner even more of a “thousand-year-old substitute”?

However, with a very similar experience to Mills, Bonner, who plays power forward and can play center at critical moments, is also indispensable in the Spurs' lineup.

The 2008 season was Bonner's peak, occupying the majority of @

Everyone is an active player, and who doesn't envy the treatment at home? Mills was not far from the baseline, looking at the player who seemed to be shining in the light.

"I feel like that kid is targeting you, we have to give him some color to see!"

Mills said to Matt Bonner very unhappily. The latter was noncommittal and obediently walked to the baseline, preparing to serve and attack again.

"Give me the ball!"

Mills said absentmindedly that the Spurs' perimeter offense all depends on him during this period, and his touch is so good that even Ginobili is slightly inferior.

According to common sense, this goal should have waited for Ginobili and the two of them walked forward together, but Mills wanted to try his hand to see if he could score in front of that man.

During the regular season, Lin Shaojie's "short" playing time was almost reserved for the main players. There were not many opportunities for him to show his talents. In the limited few contacts, Mills was not able to personally feel the opponent's leadership.

The pressure on him was purely the feeling of "I've heard of you".

Even in Mills' view, Lin Shaojie's speed is just an advantage shown by mismatch, and is not as exaggerated as everyone says.

Just like Durant, Mills admits that Durant is very good with all kinds of shooting, but in terms of absolute speed, Mills does not believe that anyone can surpass him. At most, there is only a thin line between him.

But just as Bonner completed the pass and Mills was about to catch the ball and counterattack, the latter felt a gust of wind passing by. By the time Mills reacted, the basketball in his hand had been stolen with a "pop".

When Mills came back to his senses, he only saw a sound of rapidly rising into the air, with the number plate clearly printed on the back.

"No. 13, Lynn!"

With a loud "clang", Lin Shaojie completed the dunk before Bonner arrived.

At the same time, the referee also blew the whistle to pause the game.

Popovich actually called a timeout with little time left in the first half.

Turning his head and looking at the angry expression on his coach's face, Mills knew that he was in big trouble.

Even if he scored 10 consecutive points to help the team bite the Pacers, due to his mistake, the Pacers were already 9 points ahead, and the point difference was about to break double. The Spurs could not let the team win.

We were trailing our opponents by double digits at halftime.

Mills, who was concerned, was not severely punished. Although his mistake caused the Spurs to fall behind instantly, Lin Shaojie, who scored 5 points in a row, also helped the home team gain the lead again. However, in recent times, Mills' touch has

It’s good and recognized.

After returning from the timeout, Mills began to cooperate with Ginobili honestly. He also saw that the coach still wanted Parker and others to rest for a while.

But when Mills dribbled the ball past George Hill's defense and came to the frontcourt, Lin Shaojie with his arms spread wide seemed like another Leonard.

And compared to the latter, Lin Shaojie's lateral movement is astonishingly fast. Compared with the "distance view" off the court, only in face-to-face combat can you realize how scary the opponent's athletic ability is.

It's like an amateur player meets a professional player and gets crushed.

Mills's continuous changes of direction were unable to get rid of his opponent. Leonard, who was not far away, initially tried to cover, but Mills refused. The guy seemed to want to test Lin Shaojie's "quality".

Subconsciously, Leonard retreated from the three-point line and stood near the outside line to start marking people.

Even Ginobili behaves like this. It is obvious that these two people know a lot about Lin Shaojie's defensive strength.

Or from the perspective of the Argentine, Lin Shaojie could definitely make a steal, but he was just killing time on the court and creating a misunderstanding for Mills. Thinking of this, Ginobili quickly called for the ball.

But in the eyes of Mills, who already felt that there was hope for a breakthrough, there was no room for Ginobili at all. His sudden move forward seemed to break through the Pacers' defense, and there seemed to be a trace of joy in his stern expression.

But Ginobili, who didn't get the ball, made a move

An astonishing judgment, but when he was supposed to be attacking, he subconsciously ran towards his own half.

really......

"Snapped!"

Mills passed by, but Lin Shaojie, who only took one shot, escaped from his breakthrough figure and couldn't pass the ball.

Mills looked at his empty palms, and when he looked back, he only saw Lin Shaojie facing Leonard's defense, quickly turning around and bypassing the Spurs' outside gate.

Ginobili, who had already retreated to the three-point line, lowered his body to prevent the impact of Lin Shaojie's breakthrough.

But faced with this hard-won opportunity, Lin Shaojie threw Ginobili away with a simple change of direction. Ginobili, who wanted to foul, backed down at the last moment.

After all, it was only 2 points, and he was afraid that even if he fouled, he would give his opponent a chance to score 3 points.

Watching Lin Shaojie continuously break through two people, not only Mills made a mistake, but also all the players from the Spurs and Pacers, as well as all the spectators present.

When Lin Shaojie soared into the air, his light figure floating in the air like a "Son of the Wind" inside the free throw line, Barkley, who was sitting in front of the commentary desk, sighed.

"Lynn's aerial posture is really beyond imagination!"

Yes, there are so many players who can dunk. Ninety-nine percent of them in the NBA can dunk.

It was such a display of talent that was neither very difficult nor a free-throw line jump, but just an ordinary dunk.

But Lin Shaojie showed the simplest thing from beginning to end.

"The beauty of basketball!"

The force from the ground rebound when taking off, the stability provided by the core when flying into the air, and the impact and rhythm brought by the dunk all illustrate the beauty of basketball.

You can't even see Lin Shaojie's "walking in the air" and other dazzling skills from this ball, but when you wait for the slow-motion replay, you will be surprised to find that this mediocre dunk is matched with Lin Shaojie's figure.

, how beautiful it is.

Applause rang out from all directions, and Popovich could only look angrily at Mills, who had caused all this.

Mills also knew that he should be finished in this game.

Making mistakes is not terrible, what is terrible is making mistakes one after another!

Soon the two sides discovered that there was obviously a problem with Mills' mentality. He did not even dare to face Lin Shaojie's offense and defense. The Spurs once again returned to the rhythm of GDP.

When the halftime whistle sounded, the Spurs players didn't look good.

The player who wants to prove himself, the player who scored 10 consecutive points to show his explosive scoring ability will definitely be relegated to the sidelines by Popovich, at least it will be difficult to see him play in the second half.

The mistake made by Mills was very fatal, and the score of 54 to 42 also gave the Pacers, playing at home, a double-digit lead.

This was caused by Ginobili scoring a magical 3-pointer at the last moment, otherwise the Spurs would be at least 15 points behind.

When the midfield game comes, the media pays attention to the results of both sides on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also pay attention to the celebrities present.

Those in the entertainment and fashion circles that are relatively close to the basketball circle are naturally the focus of traffic. Their every word and deed can be sought after by the audience after the game. In this era of entertainment to death, such things are very important to reporters.

For us, don’t be too beautiful!

As the opponents of the Pacers, the Spurs players and coaches were also the interviewees during the halftime break.

Ginobili was stopped by reporters as he was about to leave the court.

"Manu, in that attack two minutes ago, why did you return to defense in the first place, when you were still in control of the ball? Do you not trust your teammate Mills? Do you think he can't break through Lynn?

defense?"

Ginobili glanced at the reporter and responded helplessly.

"I always believe in my teammates."

After saying that, Ginobili waved his hand helplessly: "That may have been an accidental mistake. I just had a little bit of a bad feeling... Okay.

, We played very hard in this game, we need to rest and recover as much as possible."

Ginobili, who showed fatigue, said goodbye to reporters and rushed back to the locker room. The whole situation was too unfriendly to the Spurs.

Not far away, Duncan was also pestered by reporters.

"Tim, are you satisfied with your performance in the first half? Did the Pacers' performance today exceed your expectations?"

"We lost a lot of goals that we shouldn't have lost, which is the biggest reason why we fell behind. There was no problem with our tactics, but our execution was not ideal...

The Pacers' performance seemed normal to me. They are a strong team. Of course, what I saw more was Lynn. His performance in the first half was outstanding. I'm not talking about his scoring, but his control.

The pace, our double teams have no effect on him, he is a smart player and is our biggest trouble."

As the head of the Spurs, Popovich was also pulled out to be "whipped," no, pulled out for interviews.

"Mr. Coach, are you satisfied with the performance in the first half?"

"Which of your eyes can see that I am satisfied?"

Popovich's mouth twitched and he said disdainfully. The reporters also didn't take it seriously. They were familiar with this routine.

"So you are not satisfied with the player's performance?"

"Which of your eyes can see that I am dissatisfied?"

Popovich replied with the same expression, and then took the initiative to grab the microphone.

"I quite approve of the players' performance, but we have met a better opponent. The game is not over yet, and we still have hope of winning.

I know what you want to ask, and I won't give you a chance.

In the case of Lynn, I was shocked by his personal performance, because his appearance has greatly increased the strength of the Pacers. He has already won the championship and tried to defend it. Among the players of this age group that I know

Among them, Lin En is the only one.

But I still want to say that players like Manu performed better and they are the best in the world.

We just had some problems in our defense, whether it was individual defense or collective defense, we had some small problems, and this small problem was caught by No. 13, that's all."

"But you used a double-team tactic against Linn?"

"Double team?"

Popovich joked: "It's impossible, it's impossible. I've never used it. That's a super deal. That kid is not qualified. It's just players accidentally getting together.

"Kawaii" As long as we can ensure that our strength is fully utilized, we will restrain that guy first, and we don't need to double-team him at all."

Reporters have long known about Popovich's shamelessness, but they did not expect that Popovich would be so "shameless!"

When he returned to the locker room, Popovich said viciously to everyone.

"In the second half, double-team No. 13 hard and don't let him score again."
