My vision is different

Chapter 328 The Rocket Tragedy
In the restart of the second half, Lin Shaojie's brutal defense against Harden turned Harden from a "terrorist" into a good boy!
Lin Shaojie has seen Harden without a beard, and he is definitely considered a handsome niche among Lao Hei, but it is a pity that the title "little fresh meat" is not a popular element in the current beautiful country, especially in the competitive arena. What you see is muscle and strength, what you see is bravery and majesty.

The little fresh meat is not easy to use, and the soft egg is the object of ridicule.

And Harden, who has a big beard, has gradually developed his own characteristics. Although it is a little inconvenient to eat and drink daily, he can be recognized at a glance with his characteristics. This is a great thing for players who want to expand their market appeal. great thing.

I think how many people were shocked when the old hooligan came out with a bald head. It’s not that there were no bald men before, but there was no influential player like him. It was still the era of “washing, cutting and blowing”.

But the leader of Qiao Gang who pioneered led this trend.

I don’t know where the trend of big beards is blowing now, but there are really not many players who are as thick and lush as Harden, and have such recognizable characteristics.

Lin Shaojie even speculated that if Harden can really succeed in the Rockets, then with his image, it is no problem to win a big commercial contract, but Nike seems to have no strong measures so far.

When Harden began to sink in the game, the Rockets' offensive pressure was almost entirely on Howard. It is obviously unrealistic for Howard, who is in a declining state, to be both a father and a mother.

In the second half, under such circumstances, West and Paul George received passes from Lin Shaojie one after another, making their offensives sweep the Rockets like flames.

The Rockets, who were troubled by offense, instantly became difficult to score.

Howard encountered crazy bites from Hibbert and West in the interior, especially the latter, with rich experience and mature mentality. As long as Hibbert can stand in advance, West can support and complete the defense.

Howard, who was alone, had no choice but to pass the ball. Unfortunately, Parsons couldn't catch the ball. Harden on the outside began to hide again. McHale, who saw something bad, quickly called a timeout, but it didn't help. After the timeout came back, Harden wanted to regroup. , It's a pity that Lin Shaojie suddenly steals when he is dribbling.

The bearded man watched Lin Shaojie play a dragon with the ball, and Howard, who was chasing back, sighed angrily.

"James, wake up!"

This is the voice of the Rockets players, but they can't wake up a person who "pretends to be asleep".

Harden's poor form made McHale helpless to make substitutions.

Garcia came off the bench to take Harden's place. He performed well in the first minute after his debut. At least when he first stepped up, he took advantage of the heat and took a three-pointer by surprise, but hit a "hemostatic ball" Francisco Garcia suddenly discovered that Lin Shaojie's attention to him soared.

Garcia, who is a swingman with a forward and guard, is also an older player. He made his debut with the Kings in 05, and was selected by the Rockets halfway until last year.

As a veteran in his thirties, Garcia's mentality must be mature.

But as a new "wanderer" in the league, Garcia's on-court role is definitely not good. Compared with when he was young, the Kings are willing to sell him. The bigger reason is the rapid decline.

A player who is taller than Lin Shaojie but weighs less, plus his age.

After playing, Garcia quickly remembered the fear of being dominated by Lin Shaojie when he was in the Kings last season.

In those two games, the Kings lost to the Pacers, and Garcia had little room to play.

Now, just after he made a three-pointer, Lin Shaojie actually didn't talk about martial arts, and bullied him, a veteran in his thirties. The age difference between the two was more than ten years old, and Garcia was almost crushed.

I can't catch the ball, and after finally catching the ball, I can't make a shot.

If you don't shoot, you can always pass the ball. Looking around, it seems that Lin Shaojie's No. [-] figure is everywhere in front of him. Only then does Garcia know why Harden is so Buddhist after he comes on the court. It must be his mentality at this time Same, too bad.

And Harden, who was sitting off the court and dozed off, smiled unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

Even facing the Spurs in the West, facing Leonard of the Spurs, he has never been so embarrassed.

After all, Leonard's dynamic talent is slightly inferior, unlike the guy on the court, he feels like he doesn't get in.

Static talents such as strength were originally what Harden was good at. At the position of shooting guard, he is the top existence in the new era.

But Lin Shaojie is better than him, not to mention his dynamic talent. Even Harden's foul-making level was learned from Lin Shaojie last season.

Good thing now, when the counterfeit meets the real one, Harden's methods are completely useless.

Garcia, who replaced Harden, only played for five minutes before being replaced by McHale after the third quarter.

It is really that Garcia's performance in this position is far worse than Harden's, after all, age is there.

"With so many players in the league, none of them can hold that guy down?"

McHale said a little angrily, this is not something a normal human being can do.

Now that the December game is coming to an end, if the Pacers win another full month, then they will definitely make league history.

At that point, the Lakers' 33 wins were not far off.

As for the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, it was created when the little giant was there in 08.

If the Heat hadn't lost to the Pacers last season, they won 26 games back and forth, and the Pacers in the middle broke all of this for the Heat.

Afterwards, many experts felt sorry for the Heat's winning streak. As long as there is no Pacers, it is second only to the Lakers' record.

Now it seems that if you want to win 30+ games, only the Pacers have this hope.

The key to the Pacers' ability to achieve such an achievement depends on the performance of No. [-].

After defeating the Bobcats in early December, the Pacers have won the league's second-highest win so far, and are now marching toward the first win.

As for the winning streak at the beginning, it is now maintained by the Pacers, and only they can beat them.

McHale felt that his mentality was a little out of balance.

If he wants to win today's game, unless justice comes from heaven and kills No. [-], as long as he is present, it will be absolutely impossible.

The Pacers' bench background is really too deep. West is present now, but Scola, who was sitting on the bench and originally belonged to the Rockets, played far better on the court than West.

If he was replaced, for the Pacers, the victory might come more easily.

Just when McHale was thinking wildly, the Pacers who came back from the timeout actually sent Scola.

"Don't talk about Wude!"

Scola entered the palace for the second time in this game, and his first goal in place of West was an assist from Lin Shaojie.

The Argentine's footsteps were too solid, and Parsons was wiped away with a turn. Before Howard came to remember the reaction, an easy throw completed the offense.

"Beautiful pass!"

Scola, who gave Lin Shaojie a thumbs up, praised him.

Passing the ball is very simple, but when it is passed, it reflects the level.

Pot-throwing passes are the most hated, but look at Lin Shaojie's pass, which was passed just when Howard's defense was exposed, allowing Scola to face Parsons in the paint.

For the Argentines, the level of this goal is really high.

The offensive side always has the advantage on the court, not to mention that Parsons' center of gravity seems to have been mobilized, otherwise Scola would not have had time to complete a defensive move, allowing Scola to throw easily.

Scola opened up the situation in the interior, and Harden was replaced by McHale, but Harden's playing did not change the Rockets' situation.

What makes McHale feel worse is that Paul George also opened up this point. His touch will not recover sooner or later, and it happens to recover when facing the Rockets.

There is no doubt about Lin Shaojie's mastery of passing skills, but more of his control of the overall rhythm. On the one hand, he is called "the court commander," and on the other hand, he is called the "court rhythm master."

Lin Shaojie's feeling of being in command of the team made McHale really see it.

Passing skills are the most basic "skills," but that kind of overall situation is at the strategic level.

Paul George's long two-pointer and Scola's inside dance became the highlights of the third quarter. Lin Shaojie's deterrent force made the Rockets not dare to relax in the slightest.

When it comes to the ability to score explosively, there is a saying on the scene. No one is his opponent in the first round. If he is accidentally hit by the opponent with a three-point rain, it is not a problem to score 2 or 30 points in a short time.

There have been too many examples to tell other teams that even though Lin Shaojie scored single-digit points in the first three quarters, but you relaxed the opponent's defense, you could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure in the end, and even be nailed to the pillar of shame. Constantly being mentioned.

It is precisely because of this mentality, the entangled mentality of whether to double-team or not to double-team, that Lin Shaojie seems to pass the ball with ease, while Paul George and Scola are blooming internally and externally, and the Rockets are defeated.

A wave of 20 to 4 scores completely widened the gap between the two sides in the third quarter.

Paul George's repeated dunks in the second half made Howard feel ashamed inside. Before the end of the third quarter, there was even a pulling and pulling movement, which almost caused a scuffle between the two sides.

Paul George made two free throws, and the difference between the two sides has already reached 30 points.

For the Rockets, fortunately, Howard did not get a technical foul because of this, otherwise he would have left the field early, and I am afraid that it was also considered by the referee at the scene for the ratings.

But even so, the form of the rocket is also seen thoroughly.

The Rockets without Harden seem to have a limping leg. When facing a strong team like the Pacers, the Rockets "rising" in the West are also vulnerable.

Then think about the Pacers' defeated players. The Pacers looked ordinary two years ago, but now they just have one more Chinese national. After the integration, this lineup actually has the aura of a wealthy family that dominates the league.

After thinking about it, I don’t know how many people are lamenting that the draft can change one’s destiny, but in the final analysis, it is still necessary to draft and train one’s own people. “Big Bird” Larry Bird might wake up laughing from his dream.

Everyone knows that Larry Bird and Danny Ainge of the Celtics, from the player era to the coach era, to the current uniform team era are all "life and death" enemies. Dealing with it is not a day or two.

If there was no "Palace of Auburn Hills" incident, the Pacers would have been able to rise ten years earlier, but since then, the Pacers have been sinking year after year. The post-match is strong, and I don't know how many years it will be delayed.

Under Angie's unpredictable operation, the Celtics successfully formed the "Big Three." After discovering Rondo's potential, the "Big Four" came and successfully won the championship, making the Celtics shine again alliance.

However, this kind of non-"direct descendant" training came and went quickly. Now the Celtics once again embarked on a journey of reconstruction. Angie even cleared the obstacles for Rondo, but Rondo, who was supposed to be shining, fell into a dilemma. Without the troubles of injuries, the difficulty of this road to reconstruction can be seen.

Unlike the Celtics, after ushering in their new generation of core, the Pacers changed their guns in an instant, rising rapidly, unprecedented in the league.

How many people in the current Pacers can think of Granger?

Throughout the history of the NBA, the two consecutive seasons of winning streak have never been seen before. Apart from the fact that the Pacers' home court is a bit small, the aura of a wealthy family has already begun to show, and the rest is the accumulation of time.

Of course, the most important thing is to avoid injuries.

Many giants were destroyed by injuries. The most obvious one before was the Bulls. After Rose came to power, the Bulls showed awe.

The hustle and bustle before the game was in stark contrast to the tranquility of the "break", McHale was a little embarrassed and flustered.

Thinking about it now, before the game, it seemed that apart from the high-spirited coach himself, even players like Parsons were not too arrogant. As arrogant as Howard, he was also eerily quiet before the game.

Perhaps the experience in the Lakers has made "Warcraft" realize that it is unrealistic to want to seize the benefits in the hands of the current Pacers, at least the current Rockets cannot do it.

Looking at the 30-point point difference, McHale looked at Harden, who was slumped in the seat and covered his face with a towel.

Is the beard a good player?
There is no doubt that to be selected by the media as the number one shooting guard in active service, it is definitely not possible without some ability.

However, the many problems exposed when facing the Pacers made McHale start to think about how to reform his beloved disciple.

The two belong to a complementary relationship, and they don't need too many words between each other.

After more than a season of running-in, we all know each other is the most suitable.

You are proud of me; I am proud of you.

It's just that this kind of master-student relationship faced the pair of master-students who were cheating on each other, McHale felt that he was missing a move.

"Shall we give up?"

Seeing that the coach was embarrassed to speak up, the assistant coach said, after all, the point difference is too big, even if there is still a quarter, but...
"It's okay, I'll try again!"

Taking off the towel on his face, Harden said with bright eyes, he already had a premonition of the criticism of himself after the game, unless the Rockets can win away.

But is it realistic?

McHale saw that Harden hadn't given up yet, and nodded that it was okay.

Howard on the side can only be treated in silence. He is a newcomer, and he is only a newcomer. There is a natural competition in the relationship with Harden's team.

Fortunately, the two sides are still able to get by in terms of face.

Howard knew that if he wanted to have a better relationship with Big Beard, time was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to see who would give up first, and give up the "boss" mind. Dual-core things can happen, but there must be masters and times.

Howard was also the boss. Now he is "wandering" in the league. He doesn't want to own a team every year. If that is the case, he is really a nomad. Like that, what awaits him may be sinking.

So what to say, Howard also wants to prove himself in the Rockets. Howard doesn't want to do it again after being so useless in the Lakers. Anyway, Harden is not the boss material, and he is much better than that guy Kobe. Howard can bear it.

It's not like I haven't done such a thing before.

Besides, Harden's mental state looks pretty good, maybe there will be a miracle in the fourth quarter?

With hope hidden in his heart and light in his eyes, Howard was hit head-on by the Pacers' tight defense after the start of the fourth quarter.

The defensive lineup headed by No. 13 actually pressed the whole court after the start of the fourth quarter.

The feeling of "either you kill me or you are killed by me" made Howard instantly feel the Pacers' malice.

Harden finally got the ball, but he was facing Paul George's defense. Harden, who thought he had a chance, soon discovered that switching defenses and so on were all deceitful.

Lin Shaojie became a factor for the Pacers to be free, and he felt that he was one step away from everyone, forcing Harden to dare not pass the ball, and Paul George's defense was impeccable. After a long time, Harden finally passed Howard on the inside.

Relying on his strength and physical advantages, Howard squeezed away Scola, who played well today, and after turning around, he was about to hit a morale-boosting dunk.

However, Lin Shaojie made a nail-biting cap from the outside.

"boom!"

The heavy sound awakened Howard from his dream.

Taking off for the second time after landing, Howard wanted to fight back, but was teased by Lin Shaojie's fancy move through the crotch.

Lin Shaojie, who had a one-stop opportunity, made a sudden shot and threw a long pass. Paul George, who was running ahead, returned his opponent's "Splitting Huashan" dunk.

The sound of "clang" under the radio made the fans in Consec Arena shout loudly.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

Everyone knew who it was calling, anyway, it wasn't Paul George who was dancing on the court because of excitement.

The excited second-in-command of the Pacers got carried away, but the smiling No. [-] in the backcourt raised his hands, indicating that his voice could be louder.

Yangma's commentary Tian Tuan watched with enthusiasm. They used to be fans of the Rockets, and the Rockets were their home team.

Now the Pacers are their favorite, whether it is play style or tactics, or core players, they are impeccable.

Yesterday the yellow flowers were beaten by the rain, today the peach blossoms laugh at the spring breeze.

Clothes are not as good as new ones, people are not as good as old ones, but who doesn't like younger ones!
Harden was not intimidated by this formation, and the bearded man made a comeback in the next round, but unfortunately, his attack with the ball made a mistake. Paul George, under a taller and stronger defense, used a very talented The steal made Harden lose the ball.

At that moment, full of malice surrounded the core of the Rockets. Paul George successfully countered the one-stop, allowing the Pacers to play a wave of 12-3 scores at the start of the fourth quarter.

"Harden. Hasn't scored for almost ten minutes?"

Barkley said in disbelief.

"No, it's not that he didn't score in ten minutes, but that he hasn't scored more than 10 points so far!"

Smith also looked at the data sheet in his hand in disbelief. On the current court, there is already a [-]-point difference.

After the game, it is very likely that this is the biggest tragedy of the Rockets this season.

This is a team that claimed to be competing for the championship before the game. No matter how bad it is, it is the owner of the league's two active players, but it was beaten like this in the face of the Pacers.

How much water must be poured into it to be like this?Same with pork, right?
The little giant in front of the TV didn't know how to evaluate it. It was impossible for the Rockets to raise their hands and surrender at the beginning of the fourth quarter and replace them with all substitutes. The Rockets are still the same, which is incomprehensible.

Harden is working hard, he is the only player in the Rockets who can hold the ball, other guards including Beverly, no matter who they are, will be "entertained" by the Pacers when they play, the brutal Pacers have never Waiting for the rocket's surrender signal, it is decisive to act.

Although Harden held the ball, he was abused by Paul George in the fourth quarter. Lin Shaojie was like a poisonous snake waiting by the side. Whoever scored would be entertained by him.

Compared with those 60+ scoring ability, Lin Shaojie's defense is frightening.

Beverly and Jones were his "revenant souls," Parsons sweated his hair, and Howard made repeated mistakes and was intercepted halfway.

Lin Shaojie really played from the first position to the fifth position on the court. He can be called a "basketball net street tiger".

When the difference between the two sides exceeded 40 points and reached 45 points, McHale called the last timeout, and Harden yelled with his neck straight.

"I can still fight!"

McHale was unmoved, the main force of the Rockets was replaced by him, the small white flag was raised high, and Frank, who was not far away, looked like a child, and replaced the main force at the same time.

But for the Pacers, the bench lineup is really not bad, especially in the face of a more polarized team like the Rockets.

McHale couldn't believe it until the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

51 points, the tragedy of the century.

The Rockets scored a score that even they couldn't believe at Conseco Arena.

78:129.

They lost a full fifty-one points to their opponents.

Paul George scored the team's highest 33 points, Scola scored the second highest with 29 points, and Lin Shaojie had a super double-double with 20 points and 28 assists.
Such an "unremarkable" statistic drove the reporters after the game almost crazy.

In today's league statistics, the assists per game and assists per game are controlled by Lin Shaojie alone, and the others are not even qualified to look up to.

Including Chris Paul, everyone can be the "scumbag!"
