Chapter 243

As a super coach with "great achievements" in the past, Popovich can be said to be the creator of the "shark-cutting tactic", but this is just a small thing in his past glory, not even worth mentioning.

Popovich, who carried forward foul tactics and slashing tactics, made centers including O'Neal, such as Howard and other poor free throws suffer from it.

The shark-slashing tactic was played in the first five seconds. I remember that when Popovich used this tactic, O'Neal himself was stunned.

What was even more exaggerated in the last game between the Spurs and the Pacers was that Popovich not only "cut people," but also "surrounded people," which means that your core players will not be allowed to catch the ball and have a chance to shoot.

Aren't you Lin Shaojie very powerful and powerful?
I just don't let you have the chance to catch the ball, what can you do?
The main reason is that Lynn's free throw percentage is also high. Just ask you, have you ever seen such a crazy tactic?

Anyway, Popovich is such a bad old man, a very bad old man.

It's not a day or two that the league executives don't like this old man. It's not because this is a business alliance, but because the Spurs have come up with various means, such as: their rotation is too exaggerated.

We understand the rotation when there is an injury, and we understand the rotation when the condition is not good.

But there is no injury, the condition is very good and the rotation is taken, even for no reason, and the rotation is carried out without knowing the reason. When the game is played, many spectators even have to ask people or check the information to find out. Out of nowhere.

How can this kind of behavior make the league executives happy? Are you just a display of those star players, hiding them all day long? They are all signs and advertisements, which can be exchanged for money.

On the contrary, the "unknown" players who pop up from time to time in the Spurs play well on the court, and the Spurs' record is very stable.

Of course, this season Popovich once again got a ticket because of the rotation, the bad old man is very happy.

In addition to these "bad spots" in the past, Popovich is more familiar with things like spraying referees than anyone else. He was even sent off for spraying referees. Fans and players are used to it.

The assistant coach did not hold his own coach, and then the coach got a "red card" and was sent off.

The exaggeration is that sometimes after a season, Popovich has far more technical fouls than players. This season, there are 8 times, ranking first in the team.

If it is said that the Pacers were "all villains," this guy with white hair and sitting on the sidelines was black-hearted.

In the season four years ago, Popovich was sent off 14 times. It was so spectacular that it would be "a good story in the history of the NBA."

There are even bookmakers offering odds on when Popovich will make a technical foul and be ejected next time.

It can be said that in order to win, this bad old man "does all kinds of evil."

To damage the home refrigeration equipment and air conditioning equipment, Popovich almost cut the wires with scissors.

But what happened to the facts before Popovich.

The Spurs had a total of 9 turnovers in a single quarter, which has exceeded the number of eight turnovers in a single quarter when they faced the Grizzlies during the Western Conference Finals.

The members of the "Mistakes" group headed by Split are simply disgusting.

Lin Shaojie's steal is simply sprinkling salt on the Spurs' wounds. Is this to give away a lot of welfare and let the opponent score a triple-double or even a quadruple-double?

As for whether the Spurs' actions in this game were too big, this is a matter for the beholder to see the wisdom of the benevolent, and it is still passable in comparison.

If some fouls were not pronounced at the time, it would be useless if they waited afterwards, just like LeBron’s foul on West during the Eastern Conference Finals. The league added a first-level malicious foul on the second day after the game, but Does it work?

No!

The league did not give any related penalty decisions involving "suspension", and everyone, including the Pacers players, thought it was normal.

Although many fans booed and mocked LeBron's Twitter account from time to time, it had no actual impact. The league did the most of this kind of thing, isn't it just to find a balance?
Next time if you have the ability, let West counterattack on LeBron, or counterattack on other Heat players. Of course, it is more likely that West will be punished if he K kills LeBron, and K and others will be fine. .

Anyway, for this kind of thing, the league uniform team played it well, and Popovich knew it well.

Looking up at the air-conditioning outlet, this thing is broken, no one can tell, anyway, it wasn't my Lord "Bobo" who did it, and I wouldn't admit it if I was beaten to death.

Sitting in the auditorium, Lu Shanyue and the others were so hot that they wanted to take off their coats, but they couldn't bear it after sitting quietly for a while, and their foreheads were sweating.

The audience wearing coats in front of them started to take off one by one, obviously feeling the heat.It is conceivable what kind of scene is it like for players who exercise hard on the court and struggle hard.

Sweat slid down his clothes, and Paul George soon felt a little dizzy, as if he had been in a sauna for a long time.

Not only is it hot, but it also feels a little hypoxic.

The game lasted only five minutes in the second half, but it felt like years passed by.

The same is true for big men such as Hibbert and West, who feel a little uncomfortable when running.

"Why is it so hot?"

"When can it be fixed?"

The Spurs who fought against the Pacers also encountered similar problems, but they seem to be more adaptable than the Pacers.

Sweat soaked the jersey, but it couldn't stop Tony Parker's attack.

The sweat falling from the eyebrows blocked the line of sight. George Hill blinked, and Parker broke in instantly. The "French Trot" who didn't pass the ball directly entered the Pacers' paint area. Duncan's pick-and-roll was in place. Parker, who had completed the toss beforehand, had a smile on his face.

"Shh!"

"The Spurs' move is solid."

Looking at everything on the court, the host Barkley praised: "They used the pick-and-roll like this very skillfully, Duncan's position is very good, and Parker almost didn't consume too much energy when attacking.

Pacers should make adjustments, George. Hill too few restrictions on Parker. "

Barkley's "suggestion" was not heard by the Pacers. Lin Shaojie ran out of position in the backcourt and received a pass from George Hill at the center line.

Leonard, who was experienced in defense, immediately realized that the No. [-] in front of him wanted to break through again.

The pass was impossible, because he was the fastest runner among the Pacers players, and everyone else was behind him.

It was so hot, why didn't he faint?Paul George can hardly stand it!
"Look at how Lynn handles this ball?"

Barkley explained quickly.

Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball, dribbled the ball under his crotch twice in a row. When Paul George was about to pass by his side, Lin Shaojie made a pass.

Although I kept telling myself that it was impossible for Lynn to pass the ball, Leonard still glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and the direction of defense under his feet was also focused on that side.

"Breakthrough!"

Lin Shaojie stepped on the ground with his left foot, and Leonard only showed a slight flaw, but Lin Shaojie seized the opportunity and broke through from his side in an instant.

"It's so beautiful! Lynn once again showed his one-step surreptitiousness, and Leonard didn't even have a chance to defend."

Breaking through Leonard's defense, Lin Shaojie faced only Parker's defensive lineup. Under such circumstances, "French Trot" couldn't stop the opponent's shooting at all.

Before the three-point line, Lin Shaojie made an emergency stop for a jumper, but Parker just stretched out his hand and turned around to watch the basketball enter the basket.

"Shh!"

Seeing Parker wiping his sweat not far in front of his eyes, Lin Shaojie said suddenly.

"It's pretty hot, isn't it?"

Parker didn't speak, but ran back to catch the ball.

The "sudden" hotness obviously disrupted the offensive rhythm of the two sides, but the Spurs seemed to have been prepared, or their tactical execution was quite beautiful, and they were not affected by these foreign objects at all.

On the other hand, the Pacers, whether the players' shots or the offensive and defensive lineup, are more or less affected.

Especially Paul George, the team's second-in-command, is quite physically fit, and he was even replaced on the spot to rest and replenish water. This is not a common thing.

The only thing that people didn't notice was the number [-] of the Pacers.

If we talk about the previous games, Lin Shaojie took on the task of "main attacker" as a tactical arrangement, and restricting Lynn is equivalent to restricting the Pacers.

So now, after the start of the second half, Lin Shaojie, as the main attacker of the Pacers, has no choice but to do so.

Paul George's condition has declined severely. The scorching temperature has caused serious problems in his running and shooting. The Pacers' offensive burden is completely on Lin Shaojie's body.

Inside Hibbert?

Forget it, Duncan is not just standing there.

But player No. [-] didn't seem to feel it at all, and his running pace was exactly the same as before, and the feeling of being faster than other players became more and more obvious.

Throughout the first half, Lin Shaojie, who scored almost the same score, scored 17 points in the third quarter.

The "Total Attack and Full Defense" Spurs couldn't defend this guy.

"Why do I feel something is wrong? Lynn doesn't seem to be affected?"

Popovich heard the assistant's voice, and his eyes were inexplicable.

Lin Shaojie's shooting is not just outside the three-point line. Relying on his high outside shooting rate, it is nothing to take the opportunity to steal some fruits of victory when counterattacking, but when the guy got the basketball, he actually played inside and outside the paint again When shooting from the middle distance, you can see the gap.

Leonard will definitely not lock the core of the Pacers, but watching Leonard lose his position again and again, it shows that he has also begun to be affected by the heat.

Duncan's supplementary defense was very timely, and even forced Lin Shaojie to pass the basketball, but George Hill of the Pacers can see his skills at this time.

Catching the ball, making a false shot, and then hitting the basketball inside again, Lin Shaojie, who caught the ball again, shook off his opponent, either leaning back or taking a step back.

Just these two tricks have already scored a lot of points in front of Duncan.

On the other hand, the Spurs, their offense is very organized, but there is a fatal problem. Today's Spurs, no, the Spurs felt terrible in the second half.

Except for Duncan and Parker, the other players didn't have any confidence at all, even Manu Ginobili who came off the bench was like this, you know the Spurs are starting to fall into a scoring drought.

"Quick, use the rest time to contact that group of people and let them fix the equipment as soon as possible."

Popovich said anxiously, seeing that the third quarter was about to end, but the Spurs' point difference was gradually opened up by the Pacers.

It seems that there is only Lin Shaojie as the main offensive Pacers. With this one player, not only did the point difference not narrow, but the point difference even reached double digits.

Sitting in the VIP room, Larry Bird, who came to watch the battle, smiled without saying a word.

Isn't it because the air conditioner on site started not to cool down and broke down?
This kind of trick, the Celtics played badly back then.

How Bird defeated the Lakers with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, in exactly the same way, the Spurs are copying cats and dogs.

Don't say whoever is inferior.

Larry Bird's "great achievements" have long been far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Some people remember these things about him, and some people don't remember them.

How perverted Lynn's training is, just to increase the temperature, Larry Bird never felt that it had any major impact.

Look at the points that the little guy got, a person can beat the Spurs in this situation, definitely using the "bad" environment to start realizing a personal dream.

Looking at the team again, although Lin Shaojie is also one of the rookies with a high salary, but for the team as a whole, it means spending money on vegetables and getting top-level wagyu products.

The Pacers have made a lot of money this season.

Paul George left the game early for a rest, and Danny Granger played in his place. The two had almost the same position on the court and had similar functions.

Of course, with Danny Granger's current state, the playing time of each game is less than [-] minutes, which is still sporadic.

Danny Granger, who had originally waited until the "garbage" time to appear, moved ahead of schedule. No one expected that Paul George would suffer from heatstroke symptoms because of the damn refrigeration equipment problem.

The Spurs even sent ice cubes to the home team first to cool down, and then gave them to the Pacers after a while. Why didn't they wait for Paul George to faint before sending them over.

If it weren't for his demeanor, Frank would have taken off his suit and started cursing, and now he felt at least a liter of sweat in his suit.

The Pacers he coached have never encountered such a situation. If the failure in the last game was because of him, the Pacers were actually troubled by the Spurs' "foul" tactics, and he also made a review after the game.

"My mentality is not very good. I feel that the opponent seems to be torturing me constantly. It is my problem, so I will return it in the next game.

I never expected that such a situation would happen to them on the court, and I will definitely have a countermeasure next time. "

Then the Pacers will fail in this game. It is definitely because he, the head coach, is too "immature". No one thought that the Spurs would "pit" their own people together in order to win!"

It's just playing ball, no one expected this to happen, no one can do this kind of thing like playing with ice cubes!
Fortunately, Lin Shaojie did a great job, 17 points does not seem like much, but so far, the Spurs have only scored 15 points, and the difference from the original 9 points has come to [-] points.

If another shot is made before the end of the game, the point difference will break double.

On the other hand, is Lin Shaojie hot on the court?

Of course it's hot, but it's just that Paul George's feeling of being hot and fried will not appear.

Look at the expectant eyes of so many people, want to beat yourself with a little heat?

Lin Shaojie on the court even had the leisure to glance at the old fox outside the court, but the other party didn't notice it at all.

Lin Shaojie always felt that Popovich seemed to have forgotten one thing. His talent was unusual, and he wanted to rely on this enthusiasm to defeat him. Did he make a mistake?

In my daily training, there is a "mask" training method that continuously reduces oxygen intake. That method is not only to reduce oxygen intake, but mainly because of heat, which can easily make people irritable, lose their minds and get angry easily.

It's like ordinary people wearing a three-layer mask in summer and asking you how you feel, being able to get rid of such self-abuse, Lin Shaojie somewhat shakes the attributes of M.

Today's Lin Shaojie can already see that all the players, including himself, are deep in the "hot" range, and everyone seems to be covered with a layer of veil, the airtight kind .

Even though many talents have not played for a long time at this time, but think about it, in a stadium with nearly [-] people, there is a problem with the refrigeration equipment, and the temperature of every breath is about [-] degrees. The temperature began to rise rapidly.

The human body is highly sensitive to temperature.

Some even ate something savory during the intermission.

Look at these groups of players with large pores and sweating profusely. When you get close, you can smell the special smell of some people. It is so sour to play.

If it is better to play outdoors, at least the outdoor air can circulate. How can the indoor arena circulate?Just rely on the air volume of the fresh air system to cool down?

Lin Shaojie pretended that none of this happened.

The basketball became more and more flexible in his hands.

Seeing that the point difference has not narrowed, it has begun to expand. The most important thing is that the Pacers' No. [-] show has not been affected in the slightest. The longer the game, the better his performance. Popovich hurriedly faced the assistant coach during the break. Whisper, hope to fix the air conditioner soon.

The bigger and heavier Spurs seem to be unable to bear it.

Popovich shot himself in the foot by himself, clever but was misunderstood by cleverness.

By the end of the third quarter, before the refrigeration equipment on the ATT Center court had been repaired, Popovich felt a little angry.

The players who had enjoyed ice-cold treatment during the break started to wilt within less than three minutes after playing, and their movements of throwing and receiving the ball began to be affected.

Not to mention the terrible scoring efficiency of the two sides, the Pacers' No. [-] is like a mouse in a honeypot, which is very refreshing.

Just got several steals.

"Hurry up, why is it so slow, I don't want to give the opponent a quadruple-double in the finals!"

"Well, in order not to be discovered by the alliance, things are made as if they were real. The wiring is really burnt out, and rewiring is very troublesome. To open the casing, tools are not at hand."

"I don't want to know how troublesome it is, I just want to know when it will be better."

"Ten minutes at least."

"Shit, the game will be over in ten minutes."

Although I know that Popovich is talking nonsense, even if it is repaired in ten minutes, Popovich can make good use of every timeout, and it will take time to cool down such a large venue.

I felt caught off guard at first, you old foxy Frank, now he is at ease, wearing a deformed suit and sitting as firmly as Mount Tai.

Lin Shaojie on the court also rarely started to sweat, but compared with the players around him, his image is undoubtedly much better.

It's okay to say that the hair is short, and the hair is slightly longer, and the hair is almost close to the scalp. If Ginobili still looks like "long hair fluttering" before, I am afraid that the image will be terrible.

Seeing Leonard who was defending him panting, Lin Shaojie directly aimed at the inside of the Spurs and began to attack.

No matter how stupid people are, they know how to choose. The situation at home for the Spurs, Frank and others did not fail to guess during the break. Ninety-nine percent of the players in the audience were affected, and everyone had to doubt it.

But Lin Shaojie was not affected much, which is a good thing.

"Team battles can be lost, but Lynn must live."

Look now, the Spurs with a well-organized lineup can't defend Lin Shaojie at all. Facing Lin Shaojie, who can shoot mid-range and shoot inside, Duncan's defense is very good.

The lineup of one big and four small was good, but facing Lin Shaojie at this time, the Spurs suddenly felt "unstoppable" and "what am I doing".

Duncan didn't dare to make a shot, he was afraid of fouling, and the number [-] on the opposite side was not a good bird, so he could only raise his arms to block the opponent's shooting space, which was completely passive defense.

Leonard also showed a passive "dragging" state. How could he stop Lin Shaojie, who was jumping with all his strength, with his small defensive movements of pulling and loosening.

The exaggerated take-off height gives Lin Shaojie plenty of time to adjust his shot.

Lin Shaojie, who was flying in the air, seemed to think for a while whether to shoot from Duncan's left or right, and finally decided that it would be safer to wait for the "Stone Buddha" to land before shooting.

In this way, the audience at the scene watched Lin Shaojie take off a little bit slower, and then "fly" and "fly" in the air. When Duncan fell and completely exposed the basket, the Pacers' flower show in No. 13 was completed. Final touch.

"Shh!"

The melodious voice made several fans sitting in the auditorium go crazy in an instant.

"Aw!" The voice sounded like a wolf howling.

This kind of action of flying in the air and finishing the shot before falling almost to the ground is such a flea.

Before these people had a chance to breathe, the counterattacking Spurs went wrong again.

Parker took the ball with his front foot, and when he was forced by George Hill, I don't know if it was due to Parker's slippery hand. When he changed direction, the basketball hit his foot. Such a mistake occurred near the center line. fatal.

Watching the basketball rebound, Parker was lost at that moment, and he didn't even dare to chase it back.

Sweat was unstoppable, and when it passed through the eye sockets, it looked like tears.

George Hill was overjoyed, and completed a beautiful defense. How could he have such a glorious performance when facing Parker, today is really a big gift.

Ginobili rushed over, and the two of them almost fought together. George Hill wanted to prove his level of "defensive champion".

The snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's benefit. When the basketball was squeezed out of the two people's arms, Lin Shaojie snatched it away and ran towards the Spurs' half court.

Leonard kept chasing after him, but Lin Shaojie made a sudden stop and took a step back. Leonard slipped and fell down.

Just less than four or five meters away from Popovich, Lin Shaojie made that three-pointer.

On the screen in front of Popovich, his beloved disciple fell down and looked embarrassed, and the figure of No. [-] leaping up was picturesque, and the media not far away held up their cameras to "click" and "click" to take pictures. stop.

Meanwhile, a voice of joy rang in Popovich's ears.

"Okay, okay, the air conditioner is fixed!"

"At this time, there is a fart for repairing it!"

Popovich didn't say anything, the point difference has reached double digits, and the air-conditioning has not yet been felt. The replacement of Splitter made the Spurs' lineup go back to the old road at the last moment.

Two or three joint defense!

A group of tactics that are stable for more than [-]% of the teams is useless against Lin Shaojie who is in hot form.The air-conditioning came slowly, but the players' body reactions needed a little time to adapt.

The Spurs' seemingly tough defense has actually reached the stage of exhaustion. How can a group of seniors who are over [-] years old together compete with Lin Shaojie, a player who is less than [-] years old.

Lin Shaojie, who broke through again, held the ball in his right hand, turned around and switched to his left hand to complete the basket. His picturesque movements were like artistic sketches.

Duncan in front of him couldn't be stopped anymore. He was in a good state, but he seemed to be ten years old in an instant in the heat, no, five years old.

Several fans who were still howling wolves had already started waving their jerseys.

"Stable, this game will win, three to one, the championship is close at hand!"
