My vision is different

Chapter 288 Victory over the Pistons

Walking into the basketball arena again, Li Dacheng and MacDonald sat in the Palace of Auburn Hills. Perhaps for the Hua people, the greatest significance of this arena was the brawl that affected the structure and direction of the league.

If there was no dispute on the court, or the fight between the players and the fans, the impact of the incident would not be so great.

But the final trend led to changes in the league structure. The Pacers, who were most likely to win the championship that season, sank. Miller's last hope was shattered. . Under the leadership of Bird to complete the reconstruction, the road to the rise of the Pacers will not be so smooth.

Therefore, the Palace of Auburn Hills is "Fight to Fame!" in the world

This season, the momentum of the Pacers is in full swing compared with the Pistons' "survival." The Pistons who shouted "Win Now" did not perform well after the start of the regular season. They lost the first game to the Grizzlies.

A very reasonable result. The Grizzlies are the team that can wrestle with the Spurs. Playing against the current Pistons is no different from the abuse of vegetables. Fortunately, the Grizzlies narrowly won the first game, and the Pistons lost the game;
Look at their second game, didn't they kill the Celtics and save face?
But this year's Celtics have been bullied by everyone. After entering the reconstruction of the Celtics from the Big Three in 07, they finally fell into the mortal world.Their successful team formation also set a successful example for the latecomers, the Heat.

However, the dream journey of the "elderly group" for the championship ended last season.

So it's no surprise that the Pistons beat a rebuilding Celtics led by Rajon Rondo.

The Pacers' Danny Granger was injured, which is dispensable for the Pistons. If the Pacers' No. 13 was injured, that would be good news from heaven.

The Pacers have already entered the era of "The Great Demon King of Huaguo" from the "sons of Yincheng". As for when the title of "The Great Demon King" has spread like wildfire, it is probably because Lin Shaojie has shown superiority in both offense and defense so far. In terms of ability, it is impeccable.

Unlike Jordan, the old rascal who called him "God", the yellow-skinned "big devil" obviously gave everyone the impression of a villain.

In the final analysis, Jordan is his own man, the black God on the court, and the old black pays attention to "his own people don't cheat his own people." As for whether they believe it or not, it's up to them.

Anyway, Lin Shaojie felt that this was full of nonsense. The first thing for those old blacks whose conditions improved a little was to escape from their original life circle. They were fed up with the cramped space and chaotic living environment.

At the Palace of Auburn Hills, Lin Shaojie expected the Pistons to give him a little surprise, but he felt that this was an extravagant hope.

Also a coach from a player background, the current coach of the Pistons, Maurice Cheeks, had a good time in the player era. After changing jobs and becoming a coach, he coached the Trail Blazers. Later, he was also in the relationship between the 75ers and Iverson. Pretty good, but unfortunately, his defensive philosophy doesn't work.

This season, Cheeks defeated McMillan and succeeded in becoming the coach for the third time. It stands to reason that such an experienced coach should be more experienced than Monty Williams and Jacqui Vaughan.

But Lin Shaojie, who was expecting a surprise, didn't know what to say after seeing the Pistons' slightly weird lineup and style of play after the opening game.

The Pistons sent a starting lineup headed by Josh Smith, Drummond, Monroe, Jennings, and Billups.It looks great, but it's still the same old saying, they are broken, the old is old, and the small is small.

In a daze, Lin Shaojie thought that he was fighting against the Eagles and the Bucks at the same time. At a glance, many people had "core" qualifications, but it was not clear which one was the most important.

For the Pacers, George Hill did not play because of a cold, and Lance Stephenson replaced him in the starting lineup.

The Pacers have a clear division of labor, and the first, second, and third possessions are clear.

For the Pistons, Lin Shaojie felt that Smith was more deterrent to the Pacers, but after the game started, it was obvious that Cheeks gave Brandon Jennings more shots.

If facing other teams, Lin Shaojie will not make more comments, but now the Pistons are facing the Pacers, the champion of last season, and one of the most competitive teams this season.

No matter whether Jennings is facing Lin Shaojie or Stephenson, this "little" guy who is said to be [-] meters tall and [-] feet [-] inch has no advantage at all.

It is difficult for Lin Shaojie to understand the thoughts of the Pistons coach. Could it be that his deterrence is insufficient and he dares to let the opposing coach let go?Or is his name of "oppressing goodness" not loud enough, and Cheeks actually sent such a "weak chicken" player who is not tall enough to fight him?
When facing the Bucks last season, Lin Shaojie played hard enough against Jennings, so the Pistons played very ugly at home in the first quarter.

The height and weight of Brandon Jennings can't be compared with Stephenson and Lin Shaojie at all. After the opening, he made a series of 4 turnovers.

Stephenson, who started the game for the first time this season, was very happy, because he was responsible for the opponent's two turnovers, and Lin Shaojie made the remaining two.

Jennings, who is fast and explosive, has a slight advantage over Stephenson, but the advantage is not that great. Even if the fast-paced Jennings finds space, Stephenson, who is defensive and not defensive, allows Jennings to play. feeling bad.

As for Lin Shaojie, the infinite switching of defenses with Stephenson is simply a nightmare in Jennings' heart.

Everything about last season is still vivid in his mind, and he doesn't know why the coach is so fond of him and let him take control of the ball in the first quarter. He doesn't want to, but handsome life is hard to escape!
After being intercepted twice, Jennings did not dare to break through in front of Lin Shaojie. He wanted to pass the ball, but was blocked by the opponent.

The "little" Jennings faced the "big devil," and he didn't even have a chance to fight back. As long as he was a little slower, he lost his final chance to pass the ball.

So after four rounds, the Pistons at home gave their opponents a 9-0 start, and the Pacers' oppressive defense forced the Pistons to call a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Pistons took a breath and finally hit Smith.Cheeks realized his tactical mistakes before the game, and adjusted in a timely manner, but he didn't know if it would work.

"I don't think anyone in the league, especially in the East, wants to face the Pacers!"

Li Dacheng sat down happily and said, watching such an opening, he feels comfortable.

Macdonald sat on the other side, watching Li Dacheng respond to questions from netizens on Weibo from time to time, and pay attention to the games on the field from time to time.

For Li Dacheng, the victory seems to have already been determined, and the opening game is just for him to finally confirm the result.

The game started at [-]:[-] in the morning in Huaguo. Many people have already gone out. They can't sit in front of the TV to watch the game. Most of them can only watch the live broadcast with pictures and texts on their mobile phones. Only a few fans who don't mind the data consumption , Dare to watch online videos.

MacDonald, who has stayed in China for many years, is well aware of the great changes in China, but he also knows that most of the poor people in this world, not everyone is rich.

Lin Shaojie's performance on the court has inspired many people. They like this compatriot with the same skin color and the same words. Although most people can't come to the scene to support the last basketball player in the NBA, every game , this group of people are silently supporting behind.

And Lin Shaojie's performance on the court is also worthy of this point. Under his leadership, the Pacers have shown a very strong combat effectiveness.

McDonald, who used to be the coach, knows how strong the Pacers are at this time. The biggest highlight of the strong team is: win all the games that should be won, and defeat all opponents that may be defeated.

An inferior team has little chance of winning against such an opponent.

Are the pistons weak?

Now it looks really weak. There is obviously a certain gap between Jennings and Smith. At least in today's performance, the two are not harmonious.

So in McDonald's eyes, it is impossible for the Pistons to win; it is even more impossible for the Pacers to lose this game.

The Pistons, who have changed their offensive core, scored, but that's all. The Pacers have an absolute advantage on the field and control the overall offensive and defensive rhythm, which makes it difficult for the Pistons to do much.

Both Smith and Billups need to keep running and pulling to get possible offensive opportunities, and not every shot must be hit.

On the other hand, the Pacers are very good at attacking. Smith wants to defend Paul George, but he has to defend against Lin Shaojie who is not afraid of confrontation and easily crushes Jennings and Billups.

At this time, Lin Shaojie's pass is fatal, and Paul George's physical talent is displayed at this moment.

Monroe and Drummond were involved by Roy Hibbert and David West, and Paul George dunked easily face-to-face.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

Drummond, who had never been so aggrieved in his life, felt the Pacers' malice. When he couldn't wait to wave his hand at Paul George, Lin Shaojie's pass was delivered to West.

The Pacers' power forward turned and shot easily.

"Shh!"

The scoring method was extremely easy, and the sound of the basketball entering the frame was very pleasant, but the sound of the basketball entering the frame fell on the ears of the Pistons insider general, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and he was a little at a loss.

The lineup was restrained, the tactics were completely unplayable, and the situation on the field was chaotic between the offense and the defense, and there was no hope of victory at all.

Both West and Paul George enjoyed the fun that basketball brought him. When Jennings' gloomy face and Smith's helpless smile came to the midfield, they didn't know what to do.

Lin Shaojie, who played two full quarters, once again got a wonderful stat.

The data of 9 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 5 steals, and 4 blocks, especially the last three items, are completely what a top blue-collar in the paint should do, and this data is only obtained in half court, which makes people speechless.

The highest scorer for the Pacers is still Paul George, who scored 19 points and 1 assist in the first half, including 8 points for dunks alone, and four dunks embarrassing the Pistons.

The Pacers led the Pistons by a large margin of 51 to 32. The fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills didn't know whether the No. 13 would continue to stay on the court in the second half.

Although I hated the Pacers player wearing the away jersey from the bottom of my heart, that kid played really smartly. He was tall and had long arms, and the outside line against him seemed to be a head shorter than him.

Not just Jennings, other players seem to be the same.

There are no fancy moves, the score is just a jump and a pull, and the opponent has nothing to do with him.

As for the way to break through and score, it doesn't seem to be very powerful, isn't it just a change of direction?
Anyway, in the eyes of the fans, it's not that the opponent is too strong, but that the home players are too good, so unpretentious, everyone will change direction and get rid of their defense easily.

These movements are easy to see at first glance, but once you learn them, you will be useless!
As for passing, this is something to watch. Whether Lin Shaojie is passing the ball on the ground or in the air, the strength of his wrist and the length of his arm can help him get rid of the restrictions imposed on him by defensive players. This is indeed a talent.

When Lin Shaojie "raised high" and started to pass the ball, what did Jennings do with him?

No way!

Therefore, in Pistons coach Cheeks' view, in order to limit Lin Shaojie, he must find a striker with very flexible feet. After all the calculations, only Josh Smith can keep up with the opponent's footsteps.

But it's not that Smith didn't do it in the first half. He had a lot of opportunities to face Lin Shaojie. The Pacers would switch defenses, and so would the Pistons.

But the image of the two facing each other still lingers in Cheeks' mind.

The "Eagle King" in 3 entered the pinnacle of his career. He was good at scoring and rebounding. He averaged 4-[-] passes per game on the front line and was considered a visionary.

But each item is not the best, and the single-defense ability is still not enough for a top player like Lin Shaojie.

In the eyes of Cheeks, the second-year Lin Shaojie has become the top player in the league.

This is a combination of Nash and Kidd, as well as "Glove" Payton's defensive strength, and a point guard whose overall quality exceeds everyone's imagination. In so many years of coaching experience, Cheeks has hardly seen it.

Another unimaginable player is LeBron, but the "subordination" relationship between LeBron and the coach is so clear that some old coaches don't like the little emperor.

A little emperor who is full of strength, can shoot and pass suddenly is Cheeks' dream.

And in front of him is a guard who can pass, shoot and defend, which is also his dream.

But this dream became his opponent. When Cheeks arranged tactics in the locker room, he revealed a key message:

Do your best!

Yes, just do your best!
After the start of the second half, the Pistons watched the No. 13 sitting on the sidelines to rest, and finally took a breath, and the offensive end improved slightly.

Jennings broke through Stephenson's defense and made a layup, scoring 2 points, and the total score came to 6 points.

Yes, Jennings, who was placed high hopes by Cheeks, only scored 4 points in the first half, which was terrible.

But the point difference between the two sides has not been narrowed. Gobert and Scola have brilliant performances in defense and offense respectively, but the biggest change comes from Stephenson.

After Jennings tasted the sweetness of him, he kept attacking him. Stephenson, who was supposed to be defensive and not defensive, didn't know which muscle was wrong. He insisted on fighting this little guy and sticking to him Stephenson, who wanted to use strength to abuse others, was taught by Jennings to be a man in turn.

When Jennings broke through again, Stephenson stretched out his "hand of evil," and he pulled down Jennings who had already "taken off" in the air. Although the latter tried his best to make a protective action, he still fell in an unsightly posture on the pitch.

Seeing the improvement of the team, the Pistons soldiers were suddenly ignited with anger. Stephenson was surrounded by Piston players with a fierce look on his face.

"Hit him!"

"Beat this guy to death!"

The fans started booing, which probably meant that. Stephenson, who got a first-degree foul, was quickly replaced by Frank. He was afraid that if he was late, Stephenson would cause more trouble, and Watson, a young player, got a chance to play.

Stephenson looked at the gloomy face of the head coach, Lin Shaojie not far away could not see the slightest fluctuation on his face, a little too calm, Stephenson's heart sank.

"Are you stupid, let him rush in, Rudy (Gobert) will greet him, why did you do it?"

Roy Hibbert looked at Stephenson. Among all his teammates, these two had the most obvious dark skin. When the lights were turned off, only White Fang could be seen.

Compared with George Hill and others, it is much worse.

It is also rare that Stephenson's weird personality can chat with Hibbert.

"Lynn!"

Stephenson glanced in Lin Shaojie's direction: "Are you angry?"

Hibbert secretly whispered in the ears of his teammates.

"He must be angry, but he is very good at pretending!"

"You are quite courageous, dare to speak ill of the boss behind his back."

"No, I said it in front of him, it's just that the voice is a little low!"

Hibbert thought it was cool and said, through the corner of Lin Shaojie's eyes, he wanted to twitch, and the guy's loud voice could be heard no matter how low he was, and he was not deaf, so how could he not be able to hear it.

But it seems that Stephenson obviously knows how inappropriate his actions are.

The Pacers, who had taken the absolute initiative on the court, were pressed by their opponents after he left the court. The imposing Pistons "convinced people with reason," and Watson and Jennings were similar in stature. He got up and played back and forth, but Jennings still beat his opponent.

The previous injury obviously had little effect on Jennings, it just looked a little scary.

Frank quickly made adjustments. It was obvious that the Pacers could not rely on Paul George alone. Lin Shaojie continued to rest, and Roy Hibbert was sent out. His strength was much higher than that of Gobert.

And Hibbert's appearance made Jennings and Smith more scruples when they broke into the inside, and the two sides returned to the "ping-pong-pong" strike.

In the third quarter, the two sides played very anxiously. In a single quarter, the two sides scored 16 to 15. Overall, the efficiency was not high.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the Pistons knew that victory was hopeless, and Frank resolutely dispatched their nuclear weapon "Lynn!"

After Lin Shaojie played, Jennings dared not be presumptuous in front of him. Stephenson was pushed off the court because of a mistake. Watson, who partnered with Lin Shaojie for the first time in the fourth quarter, had never played such an easy game.

CJ. Watson is also an old player. As a non-draft player, he is not loved by his grandma and uncle in the league, and he has played in the league entirely by his own ability.

Having been in the league for many years, he knows the importance of holding his thighs tightly. In the fourth quarter, he was a dribbling machine, and Lin Shaojie gave him this opportunity.

Lin Shaojie, who was aggressive on both ends of the offense and defense, fired every shot when he received a pass from Watson in the frontcourt, regardless of whether there was one player, two players, or even three players standing opposite him.

The scoring machine's freshly baked fiery offensive made other Pacers players turn into wooden men running back and forth.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Li Dacheng and Macdonald, who were sitting off the court, looked at each other, and the young coach Frank and McMillan looked at each other.

"Lynn's three-pointer has made four of four shots, right?"

Lin Shaojie on the court fired after halftime, who can defend?Who can prevent it?

Watson felt that his four assists came inexplicably.

Lynn rushed across the half court without even making a change of direction, watching Jennings come up alone and shoot directly;

When Jennings and Billups jointly double-teamed, it was still the same action without the slightest hesitation.

The three-point shooting button seems to have been pressed and never bounced, and even if the Pistons' mid-range shots must hit every ball, it is only 8 points, not to mention that they still can't hit 100% of the shots.

Lin Shaojie has scored 12 points, and some Pistons fans couldn't help applauding.

"This little Bi Zaizhi is really accurate!"

The fans sighed one after another. In less than five minutes, the Pacers' No. [-] sat back on the bench, watching his teammates and the Pistons fight.

Paul George continues to lead his teammates to fight, and the one who is the core has begun to lie flat.

After the whole game, Lin Shaojie, who scored 21 points, seemed barely qualified, but with his 7 assists, 8 rebounds, 6 steals, and 5 blocks.

一个“20+5+5+5+5”的奇葩数据就这样出来了。

Since the new season, Lin Shaojie seems to have been subverting the audience's impression of him. The feeling of doing whatever he wants seems to be a drama everywhere. Just watching the highlights of the game, he can't see that feeling at all.

The game is not yet over, Paul George has already scored 30 points on the field, he is obviously the player with the highest score in the game, and he also has an outstanding and eye-catching dunk, but in the eyes of the fans at the scene, he can't escape the guy sitting on the bench guy.

No wind, no rain, but clear sky.

Li Dacheng found that the Palace of Auburn Hills became quieter and quieter as the game drew to a close. Except for the players on the court who "did their best" to compete, everyone could see the weird atmosphere on the scene.

The huge point difference is still the game between the Pistons and the Pacers.

The mentality of "we are similar in the past, why are you so good now, I can only look up to you" arises spontaneously.

Li Dacheng knew very well that if this was in the Conseco Arena, he would definitely see a few familiar faces among the audience, and they might even be neighbors near the Lin family.

He is very clear that those people, as Lin Shaojie's neighbors, are also supporting the local star. If there is no accident, it is very likely that Lin Shaojie will become the "iconic" player of the Pacers in many years. Mention this Chinese.

After all, this is the player who brought them their first championship, the core of the core, a totem-like existence.

But now, just because of being in the palace of Auburn Hills until the referee blows the whistle to end the game.

101:70.

The huge gap of 31 points made the Pistons feel ashamed to face the "Jiangdong elders," and the reporters wanted to interview some players after the game, but they all chased after them.

"Sorry, I don't want to be interviewed for now."

Jennings, as the first person directly responsible for the defeat, finally fled the arena without grace in refusing to be interviewed. Coach Maurice Cheeks was also wondering whether his choice was correct.

One went from the Bucks to the Pistons, and the other came from the Eagles to the Pistons. Both Jennings and Smith are "new" players, and they are both "wider" players.

Who is the boss?

I'm afraid it needs to be confirmed as soon as possible. One has a 20+ mobile phone opportunity, and the other only has a 15+, but the scores of the two are equal, both at the 15+ level, and the efficiency is clear at a glance.

Jennings has had flashes and downs on the court, but Smith seems to be in a state of watching a joke. Such things must be adjusted, or the season will be over.

The Bucks made it to the playoffs last season. Although they were eliminated by the Pacers in the first round, who are the Pacers?He was the championship champion of last season, so it's no shame to be eliminated by him!

If the Bucks don't even make it to the playoffs this season, Cheeks feels like he has nowhere to put his old face.
