Chapter 304 Who Says Assists Can't Kill a Game
Lin Shaojie rushed forward with the ball, Lillard really couldn't defend, Batum rushed to help defend.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shaojie stopped the jumper suddenly, and the whole movement came out, which surprised Lillard, and quickly reached out to stop him.

But in the face of this fake move, Lillard lost his position, and Batum could only open his arms as much as he could when Lin Shaojie turned around.

Lin Shaojie, who seemed to be playing with his back, shot a cold arrow and sent a wonderful pass directly where Batum couldn't see it. It can also be said to be an instant pass, because the speed was too fast, and Batum didn't respond at all.

Paul George made 2 points with no defense.

In the next round, Lillard still held the ball for the Blazers, and the speed of the rapid charge was very fast. Under the cover of his teammates, he once again avoided Lin Shaojie's pursuit.

Seeing that the opponent's defensive pursuit became faster, Lillard passed the ball quickly, and Aldridge on the inside pressed Scola and also made a mid-range shot.

On the defensive end, Scola's pressure on opponents cannot be compared with West's. Fortunately, Scola is very smart. Aldridge obviously wants to play a 2+1 and let Scola get a foul by the way.

But the Argentine got out of the way at the last moment.

The two sides looked at each other and smiled after landing.

"It's shady, boy!"

"Each each other!"

In the next round, Lin Shaojie broke into the penalty area again, and all the Blazers players could see that Lin Shaojie wanted to send Paul George to heaven.

So their defensive strategy must be to cut off the connection between the two. Fortunately, facing such a defensive strength, Lin Shaojie changed the target of the pass.

Instead, Scola became the beneficiary. Facing the undefended state, he easily made a mid-range shot.

The Argentine does not show up on the court, and the word "stable" is enough to represent everything.

Don't grab merit, don't be impetuous, fight if you can, and run away if you can't, with a clear mind.

Off the court, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts remained calm. The old coach had previously had unsuccessful coaching experiences in the Eagles and Bucks. Fortunately, the Portlanders still recognize his coaching philosophy. , when he did not achieve very good results last season, he still retained him to continue fighting.

This season, the old coach also used an exaggerated result to prove that there is no problem with the choice of the Portlanders. Regardless of whether the best coach can fall on his head, the "fastest-improved" coach must be none other than him.

Unlike last year's [-]% win rate when he was in charge of the Blazers for the first time, the Blazers this season can be described as a model of turning over and making decisions. The primary goal of entering the playoffs is no longer within the scope of Stotts' consideration. Ranking in the playoffs, striving to touch that "laurel crown" is his pursuit.

For Frank Vogel of the Pacers, which coach in the league is not envious, and Stotts is no exception.

Last season, the Pacers bet on a historic rookie, and the generals achieved each other. One won the MVP, and the other won the honor of the best coach. Although most people know that it is almost impossible to reproduce this scene, but who Nothing fancy yet!

Lillard's rapid progress and adaptation made Stotts smile. The boss battle between Lillard and Aldrini in the locker room does not exist for the time being. As a newcomer to the team, Lillard is still very numerous.

After all, like Lin Shaojie, there are only a few players who are supported by "Big Bird" Larry Bird after entering the league. Most players can avoid being bullied. .

Unless it's that kind of bad team, no one can use it, but that kind of team is used to score points. Who would take a fancy to that statistic for a serious champion coach?

The gold content is too low!

Those who are capable will go to the playoffs to score points.

But the scenes on the court still made Stotts full of emotion.

Lillard's performance is indeed good. Being able to not lose in such a confrontation must be the future of the Blazers, no doubt.

But compared to Lin Shaojie's weightlifting, Lillard's performance is obviously inferior.

Stotts still remembers that the Blazers’ draft pick was not low at that time, and they didn’t pay much attention to the rookie Lin Shaojie, but when Larry Bird got the No. [-] pick, Stotts Still focused on it.

The data in my impression and the number 13 in front of me can hardly overlap, such as height, weight, speed and so on.

Although many people know that there will be huge changes in physical fitness before and after entering the league, but this is only the second grade, and many people are still trying to slowly gain muscle.

Look at the goal just now. Ordinary players must suffer a bit when facing defenders like Batum or Matthews.

However, Lin Shaojie faced these two people one-on-one. No matter who it is, it is easy to get rid of them. If it is not double-teamed by two people, it is impossible to prevent it. If the Pacers' intention to "support" Paul George is too obvious, relying on Lin Shaojie With a high golf quotient, the Blazers probably won't get any benefits.

And Lin Shaojie's pass to Scola, as well as Scola's mid-range shot, can be regarded as a wake-up call for the Blazers players.

With the Blazers No. [-] in the Western Conference and the Pacers No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, they have never actually had an advantage in the most basic scene.

In the next two rounds, Lin Shaojie used the same operation to allow Scola to kill all sides in the offense, forcing the Blazers to shrink the lineup again.

When the Blazers relaxed their guard on Paul George, Lin Shaojie and his "internal and external connections" flashed again.

Everyone can see that Lin Shaojie, who is constantly breaking into the inside, is attracting firepower, which allows Paul George inside the three-point line to get a loose shooting environment, let alone onlookers outside the court.

Even the players who are playing on the field can see it.

You stare at me, I play with Scola, if relaxed, then I reconnect with Paul George.

In addition to this, there is also Roy Hibbert's unknown contribution in the interior. He and Lopez "love and kill each other" under the basket. Although there is no eye-catching performance in statistics, they are actually consuming each other's interior energy of.

Lin Shaojie was quite satisfied with this.

Encountering this kind of "black and hard" inside line, if he wants to constantly attack the inside line, it is obviously inappropriate, and it will consume a lot of physical energy, and at most he will shoot from the outside line.

But that was not in line with his plan, so the current situation was the best.

By the time of the intermission, the Pacers still took the lead, with a score of 50 to 44, and the Pacers in the away game led by 6 points.

Paul George scored the most points in the team. His 21 points in the half made Paul George smile.

"Thank you, Lynn!"

In the locker room, Paul George said from the bottom of his heart, Lin Shaojie nodded slightly after hearing this, and stroked the other's hair.

It feels good, and both parties recognize each other's relationship.

It's like this when you want to be the boss of the team. You obviously expect your younger brothers to fight together on the court, but you can't treat them too well.

Just like Paul George's previous appearance, he took it for granted when he was too nice to them, and it was easy to put his nose on his face and couldn't tell the priority.

After Lin Shaojie "corrected", he would be "Hai Yan He Qing".

But you must not be mean to these people. If you are like Maddie, if you don’t say anything in person, there are not many people who can say good things behind your back. If the boss does not support the younger brothers, the younger brothers will not follow you.

How to handle this scale and how to build prestige are all based on experience. Lin Shaojie is also slowly groping, from the initial "borrowing" to the current one, he is willing to follow Lin Shaojie "picking food and eating" There are many players.

This is honed every day in the NBA.

Frank has nothing to say. Apart from the lead, both sides played highly efficient performances in the second quarter. The Blazers won the opportunity with their crazy running. Other teams set an example.

But Frank is confident of winning the final victory.

After all, relying on physical fitness to achieve the final victory, the Pacers' previous rotations were not done in vain. Even with the Spurs' madness, they would not do this kind of thing in the first month.

But the Pacers did so relying on their own record. Lin Shaojie averaged less than [-] minutes of playing time per game, and he was the lowest among the cores of several strong teams.

"Kobe, what do you think of the first half of the game?"

Barkley sat in front of the commentary and asked curiously.

"I think the Pacers are still playing too conservatively. Lynn has too many chances to score!"

Kobe said, spreading his hands.

"But Lynn got 12 assists in the half, and after the whole game, I'm afraid it will be 20+ again. He currently leads the league in assists. Chris Paul is far from his data."

Barkley explained from the sidelines.

"Yeah, 12 assists."

Kobe said: "But I think, if those shots were thrown by Lynn himself, at least they have a double-digit lead at the moment. The current performance is still a bit restrained. They haven't played their own characteristics."

Thinking of many scenes in the first half, Kobe felt that if he was in Lynn's position, he could do it by himself without worrying too much about other people's opinions.

He has a strange mentality now, can he ask Lynn in private to see if the Pacers are suppressing him, otherwise, given his status, the number of shots would be too few.

But Lin Shaojie, who was resting in the locker room, felt that after half the game, his body was not completely hot. Compared with his teammates sweating profusely, he was almost as relaxed as a spring outing.

Except that the Blazers were very strong in the opening period, after the Pacers lowered their defense, the Blazers did the same.

In this way, Lin Shaojie really doesn't need to consume too much physical energy. Compared with players who need to constantly fight in the paint area, an outside player like him should not be too relaxed.

"Will the second half continue?"

Before getting ready to play, Frank asked in a low voice, and Lin Shaojie nodded and responded: "I can continue, Paul (George) performed very well in this game, and I also want to give him some opportunities to perform. He has not won this season. With a score of 40+, this game should be fine."

Frank nodded in approval.

After the game, he also heard about some things in the locker room. This season, because of the contract, Paul George asked for more shooting rights. With Lin Shaojie's acquiescence, this matter operated smoothly.

However, Paul George was a little unsteady, and the team could see a lot of it. Frank planned to go off the field and ask himself if he or someone else was needed.

But I didn't expect that after a few games, the signs that might have appeared were snuffed out. The Pacers' locker room is still so harmonious and friendly, and everything seems to have never happened.

Paul George's obedience and Lin Shaojie's comprehension saved Frank a lot of trouble.

So in the second half, of course Frank had to meet the demands of his beloved disciple.

Lin Shaojie continued to play in the third quarter, which made the fans feel that the trip was worthwhile.

But beyond this emotion, when they saw Lin Shaojie taking the ball on the court, they felt a little panicked.

The feeling that the Pacers must score when the opponent gets the ball lingers in my heart and can't get rid of it.

Lin Shaojie scored less than 10 points in the entire first half, but the assist data rose as fast as free money. The Blazers don't look like Lillard holds the ball, but the team's total assists are not as many as he alone .

too exaggerated!

Seeing Lin Shaojie holding the ball on the right side and suddenly cutting in, George Hill unconsciously made a screen for the opponent, and Lillard was blocked.

This is Lin Shaojie's way of running. He completely relies on the ready-made positions or movements on the court instead of directing his teammates.

Unless the teammates are stupid!
The moment he got rid of the defender, Lin Shaojie made a shot or a pass, and the opportunity was very good.

Batum looked at Paul George not far away, and was taken aback for a moment.

"What about people?"

Paul George, who was obviously in front of him, turned around and ran to the inside. In such a dazzling time, Lin Shaojie, who was cutting inside and dribbling, suddenly threw his hands away.

Facing Lopez and Hibbert, Paul George jumped up and caught the ball regardless, and then dunked.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

There was no skill in this shot, it was a pure display of talent. Paul George was separated by two people, one of whom was his teammate, and the teammates who had fun together on the night court just dunked it.

Hibbert glanced at the other party depressed.

"You are too much!"

"hey-hey!"

Paul George let go of his hand and fell from the basket: "It's all good pass by Lynn, I don't want to!"

"You are, don't deny it!"

How could Roy Hibbert not know what kind of person a friend is? There are too many people in the NBA who are boring and pretenders, and Paul George is no exception.

"Paul, I know you're talented, but you can shoot outside the paint."

Lin Shaojie said suddenly, Paul George froze for a moment: "Didn't you pass me a good ball?"

"No, I was going to pass to the free throw line, but you were about to dunk, I had to send it to where you wanted it."

Lin Shaojie patted the second child with outstanding talent: "I always thought that the floor flow is pretty good, we are still young, dunks don't need to be so powerful, flying to the sky is too harmful to the body, think about Ross, don't imitate him Is it?"

"Understood, I'm not going to dunk like him, and I'm in great shape!"

Paul George, who patted his chest while retreating, said indifferently.

How can he consider these issues if he is a bit superior?

The gymnasium at the Kangda Center has almost become his back garden. It’s not comfortable for Sky if he doesn’t dunk. The two sides in the match also have 2 points, and the increase of 2 points, but facing the Pacers, Paul George’s talent exploded, almost scoring in an exhibition game , the Blazers players feel disgraced.

Aldridge has several balls, and he can finish with a mid-range shot. If he insists on dunking in the same way, Hibbert, West or Scola on the inside will suffer a lot.

The fans were very excited, but the coaches of both sides had to secretly give instructions to slow down the pace, and there was still a quarter of the game to be played.

Frank is afraid that the players will be too excited and easily injured;
Stotts was worried about excessive physical consumption. He knew very well that Lillard was only a second-year freshman, and he was no match for the historically-ranked third-round pick on the opposite side. On the one hand, the physical consumption is not great.

In contrast to the Pacers, Paul George is the one who consumes the most energy, but he is also a guy with plenty of physical energy. If it comes to the fourth quarter, the big devil of the Pacers wants to change his mind and show his power, leaving little chance for the Blazers .

really.

After the three quarters, the two sides scored 88 to 81, and the Pacers still led by 7 points.

But when the fourth quarter started, when the Trail Blazers wanted to move all the players to help Lillard gain space for a breakthrough or pass, Lin Shaojie took the first step and made a time difference. After Aldridge received a pass from Lillard Completed the steal before the ball.

"Snapped!"

Lin Shaojie successfully stole the pass from the Blazers halfway, and Stotts spoke quickly.

"How many assists did Lynn have?"

The teaching assistant at the side glanced at the data board and replied: "19!"

"19 assists in three quarters?"

Stotts wanted to curse when he heard this, and there was still a whole quarter of the game. The opponent's point guard got 19 assists, and the point difference between the two sides was not that big. Screw the head off.

On the other side, Frank not far away also noticed this problem. McMillan was by his side. The latter was acting as an assistant coach. Breaking through 32+ is easy.

But the most outstanding player in the game is still No. 13, with 19 assists in three quarters. Many players who play point guards can't get stats in the NBA in their lifetime. It's easy for that second-year guy to get it.

When the game resumed, Lin Shaojie, who had been playing for a long time, held the ball with his back, and seemed to want to play singles.

Lillard, who was defending him, was half a head shorter than Lin Shaojie. Although his stature was about the same, both sides were well aware of the difference in weight and strength.

Lin Shaojie made a few tentative movements, and Lillard, who made some small movements, exerted strength on his waist without a trace, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Shaojie's mouth.

Near the three-point line, Batum has already rushed over. As long as Lin Shaojie stops the ball and faces double teams, his role will be infinitely reduced.

But the reality is that Lin Shaojie turned his back to Batum, a position he couldn't see at first, Lin Shaojie suddenly turned in the opposite direction and bypassed Lillard from the other side.

Batum rushed over to block the loneliness. On the contrary, because of Lillard's existence, it was too late for him to chase and defend. Lin Shaojie, who attracted two people at once, could gallop freely in the face of a smooth road.

Matthews didn't know whether to continue to mark Paul George or stepped forward to block it. A seemingly easy movement, strength, skill, and vision are all indispensable.

Matthews had no choice but to step forward.

Lin Shaojie was tired of dribbling the ball two more steps, and he shot directly while he was on the move. Paul George caught the ball from the side, as if no one made a shot in the training game.

"Shh!"

"20 assists, Lynn got 20 assists in this game!"

Barkley in the commentary looked like he was going crazy.

"Kobe, did you see? Scoring is not important to Lynn now. The Pacers have too many such good players. He can score whoever he wants. There are too many people who are willing to stand up and share for him."

Kobe doesn't know how much change a good point guard can bring to the team, he is well aware of this.

Even Kobe, who is obsessed with scoring, knows all this.

Look at the Pacers' bench, how many players looked at No. 13 with bright eyes, who wouldn't want to be a member of that catcher.

You don't need to try your best to score, as long as you stand in the right position, the score will drop from the sky. Who doesn't want such a good thing, this is a pie in the sky.

Looking at Stephenson's idiot look at this time, of course everyone understands the truth.

Who said that dog licking has no future? As the first player of the Pacers to be a younger player, if Stephenson can win a big contract, Lin Shaojie must be the first!

When the Blazers made a mistake in the next round, Lin Shaojie received a pass from George Hill outside the three-point line, and he did not deceive Lillard this time as a triple threat.

Although the latter knows that his shooting percentage is very high, it is completely unnecessary. Looking at the "20 assists" data, it is clear that Lynn only scored 7 points today and almost withdrew the "shooting button," Lila said. How can Germany not understand.

Lin Shaojie, who had a playful smile on his lips, suddenly spoke on the court.

"Are you sure to give me such a large space?"

From Lillard's corner of the eye, Batum wanted to step forward but didn't dare to step forward, always blocking the passing path between Lin Shaojie and Paul George.

But when Lin Shaojie left his feet off the ground, his whole body was flying in the air, and he threw the basketball with a standard posture, Lillard cursed angrily.

"Didn't you tell me not to shoot?"

Lin Shaojie outside the three-point line seemed to be relaxed in daily practice, and the arc of the basketball was beautiful and deadly.

"Shh!"

"The point difference has come to double digits!"

Kobe spread his hands and said: "If he had done this earlier, the outcome of the two sides would have been separated. Although Lynn got so many assists, he couldn't hide his efficient scoring at all."

Lillard thinks his reaction is fairly quick, but in the face of this sudden shot, he can only sigh.

"Fuck!"

In the next round, whether Lin Shaojie will pass, shoot, or break through, and whether the target of the pass will continue to be Paul George has become a problem.

When the point difference came to 12 points, the old coach Stotts sitting off the court knew that he was in big trouble.

The Pacers' core has too many options, and more importantly, he is very physically fit. In contrast, after Lillard played 35 minutes, his second-year "freshman" shooting rate began to plummet.

And Lin Shaojie scored two consecutive three-pointers, which also forced the Blazers to place a heavy bet on him, which is bound to kill him.

Lin Shaojie, who continued to attract firepower with two three-pointers, passed the ball to the inside again.

The two "tall towers" of West and Hibbert scored easily in the paint area, forcing the Blazers to shrink their lineup.

Soon, Paul George once again enjoyed the previous shooting treatment.

"2 points!"

"2 points!"

"3 points!"

Although there were mistakes during the period, Paul George, who maintained a touch of more than 42%, deserved the title of the Pacers' "second child". With three minutes left in the game, he had already scored [-] points.

Frank saw that his disciple was still in high spirits and wanted to keep scoring points, so he didn't make any adjustments.

The point difference between the two sides has come to 18 points, but Stotts still has not replaced the main force.

As for Lin Shaojie, the barely 26 assists data, although not a historical data, but this is the first player with more than 25 assists since this season, no this is [-] years.

The last player to break this record was Scott Scholes, a lesser-known player who also played for the Pacers.

Later, on the last day of 90, in the one-sided game between the Nuggets and the Magic, he used 30 assists to keep himself on this honor roll.

Although Lin Shaojie's 26 assists are not the highest in history, those ahead of him, including "Magic" Johnson, "Son of the Wind" Nash, "Ji Bugong" and others have not reached it.

The most important thing is that this is not won in a dialogue between strong and weak, but in the battle for the top spot in the East and West Division.

Full of gold.

Even though the game is not over yet, the fans on the sidelines have already started cheering.

It's not about defection, it's just that the game is too good-looking. There are enchanting passes and explosive dunks. In the game where you come and go, you don't know the winner until the last quarter.

Most importantly, there is no shame in losing to the number one in the league!
Ballmer kept interfering with the referee, shouting in that noisy voice.

"Lynn, you're doing great today!"

Who can't tell whether it's great or not, so why do you need to say it?

If it wasn't for Paul Allen sitting on the sidelines, the referee really wanted to send him out.

Who the hell said that assists can't kill the game, there is one in front of you.

It was originally a half-baked duel, but this guy just turned it into a one-sided matchup in the last quarter.

Of course, it is unreasonable to say that. After all, it was normal before three and a half quarters, but at the last moment, the Blazers couldn't bear it, and it is not ashamed to lose.

Stotts finally allowed the main players to play the whole game, and the two sides played a beginning and an end.

The score of 116 to 101 can be regarded as leaving a little face for the Portlanders.

Paul George, who played for 40 minutes, was the happiest. With 46 points, he became the third in the scoring list. The first two records were left by Lin Shaojie.

Even if this is not the result at the end of the season, Paul George is still very happy.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Paul George's eyes were wet, and he kept yelling "Thank you!"

It's really unnecessary to move the child!

As long as you recognize your own position, you can eat some "good fruit". If there is anyone in the current Pacers who doesn't understand this truth, then there is something wrong with their brains.
