My vision is different

Pacers vs. Lakers, this game is in everyone's schedule, it belongs to the matchup between No. 13 and No. 24, but unfortunately, No. 24 is reimbursed for the second consecutive season, and it is worse than last season. This season is It was reimbursed during the regular season, which made many people very disappointed.

Before the game, the Pacers players lingered in the night arena, and the "poor" boys from the "country" cornfield indulged themselves, and the Pacers went up and down to receive baptism in the feasting night arena.

Anyway, according to the description of the media, the Pacers players seemed to have been debauched for a while, but that was the news two days ago. As for Lin Shaojie, he stayed at Kobe's house for two days and did not see training.

It seems that the Pacers are relaxed about this game up and down.

On the 29th, Lin Shaojie sat in Kobe's car to meet up with his teammates early in the morning, and then moved into Staples.

"Don't they need targeted training?"

Some reporters raised such doubts, but seeing the mentally handicapped expressions of their colleagues around them, the reporter who raised this question quickly retreated.

Yes!

Don't look at the frenzied reports of the media. After five rounds, the Pacers lost three games and lost one at home, which is almost unforgivable.

But think about it carefully, has the Pacers ever had a losing streak?

No!

It took ten days before and after the five rounds. Except for the Suns, the opponents were a little weak, the Clippers and the Nuggets were really not bad. Even if the Nuggets' strength declined seriously this season, don't forget that the Nuggets have a strong opponent against the Pacers. A coach who knows very well - Brian Shaw!
And the most important point is that in these games, the Pacers protected the No. 13 so well that it may even be misunderstood by other teams, that is, as long as they keep putting pressure on the No. 13, the Pacers will Replace that player and hand over the victory.

This is also a demonstration made by the Nuggets for everyone.

But in fact, everyone understands that even if the Pacers do not have No. 13, they will crush the Lakers at this time in terms of strength.

The Lakers who returned to the home game can be regarded as the end of their away losing streak, but it is a pity that the first opponent to return to the home court is the Pacers, which also disappointed the soldiers including D'Antoni.

The Lakers, who have suffered a four-game losing streak, have slipped to the second-to-last in the Western Conference. D'Antoni has been called out of get out of class more than once by the fans. The feeling of "backstab" makes the old coach restless.

But the record is so dismal, and today's game at Staples is also star-studded.

It seems that in a place like Luo Village, there is never a lack of celebrity support.

Compared with the Pacers' home court, even if Consec Arena has improved, it is far behind the Lakers in terms of the quantity and quality of "starlight". Even compared with teams like the Warriors, the Pacers are weaker.

After all, the football market is different.

Sitting in front of the TV, Popovich vaguely had a magical premonition. He always felt that it was possible that this season's Eastern and Western Conference finals would be a head-to-head confrontation between them and the Pacers.

This feeling is very strong, every time he watches a Pacers game, he has this feeling.

The old coach has already seen through the competitive state of the league players in his career for so many years. He has never seen a player like Lin Shaojie who has never stopped improving since entering the league.

Most players have a low period, Duncan is no exception, but that guy is like born for basketball.

But Popovich is very clear that that successful player has gained far beyond his basketball player status outside of basketball.

Such a player who has no shortage of food, drink, and financial freedom is impossible in the basketball court. The last time a player was so exaggerated was in the 80s, the basketball god.

But even the god of basketball was able to transform after surpassing the bad boy army. When he first entered the league, he also relied on talent to play. Unlike the young man on the screen in front of him, he really revealed his attractiveness from the inside out.

Knowing this situation earlier, Popovich even had the urge to spare no effort to keep him. Although the Spurs are not welcome in the league's upper echelon, no one can deny the influence of his "Bobo" in the league.

It's just a pity that it fell short.

The Spurs' game today was a first game, and the result was not very good. They challenged the Rockets away. The latter has lost two games in a row, and the core player Harden injured his finger and missed the game.

I thought the Spurs could win the opponent without bloodshed, but obviously, they miscalculated the opponent's strength.

Without Harden, the Rockets still have Howard, without Harden, the Rockets still have Lin Crazy.

The Rockets struggled in the first half, and Howard played very depressed, but in the third quarter, Howard suddenly broke out, and the Spurs' "cut Huo" tactic completely failed.

Without Harden's "containment," Lin Crazy scored 18 points and 8 assists in this game, especially the key ball with 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Lin Crazy scored 4 points in a row to help the Rockets Set up the victory.

After the whole game, the Rockets actually came back against the trend when they were 15 points behind, which Popovich did not expect before the game.

The biggest reason is not Howard, who has the best statistics. Howard, who scored 23 points and 16 rebounds, is the hero of the Rockets' victory, but he is not the key.

The key man of the Rockets is Lin Crazy, and he led the team to set off a counterattack climax is the most critical factor.

Look at Warcraft in the first half. In the first quarter, Duncan's defense made 6 of 0 shots. If the Spurs did not relax in the second half, this would not be the result.

In Popovich's view, the Texas Civil War can be regarded as a wake-up call for the Spurs, just like the Pacers lost the back-to-back game with the Nuggets.

A team cannot rely on only one person, there must be a substitute, otherwise the team will have problems sooner or later.

As for the game in front of him, Popovich watched it especially well.

The game has already started, the Lakers' starting lineup is Kelly, Johnson, Marshall, Gasol and Meeks.

Nick Young sat on the bench this time because of his poor start in the previous game, but looking at the Lakers who have no one available, they can't even make up a 10-man lineup, which is seriously short of major generals.

On the other hand, the Pacers are strong and strong.

The starting five challenged the Lakers lineup.

Popovich saw that the Pacers played Paul George in the opening game, but obviously, the Pacers' "second-in-chief" was not in good condition. The consecutive away games made him feel ups and downs in the offense, but soon, as a conductor The official Lin Shaojie changed his focus and began to focus on the Pacers' inside line.

Seeing this, Popovich nodded with satisfaction.

Although the current core of the Lakers is Gasol, there is a serious lack of outside players, and it is not wise for the Pacers to focus on the inside, but in fact, apart from Gasol, the Lakers are also in a state where no one is available.

On the other hand, the Pacers, even if it is Duizi, caused Hibbert and Gasol to fight internally, but don't forget that the Pacers still have an old demon David West inside.

The inside core of the Pacers' real tough battle is him, the man who once escorted Chris Paul.

With such two people, the Pacers have no worries inside, not to mention Scola and Gobert are still sitting on the bench.

This kind of inside lineup is not to mention in the East, even if it is in the West, it is very good. Except for the Grizzlies, the inside reserves of other teams seem to be inferior to them.

Thinking of the Grizzlies, Popovich has some headaches. No matter what, the Spurs in the playoffs must avoid internal friction with the Grizzlies. The current "Bear King" Randolph has surpassed the old Bear King Paul Gasol , becoming the player with the most double-doubles in team history.

The Spurs don't want to waste too much energy on such a "rough guy". No matter who faces the Grizzlies, it seems that they will be stripped of their skin.

After thinking for a while, Popovich came back to his senses and watched Lin Shaojie pass the ball to Paul George. The latter took his fourth shot in the first quarter and still missed the basket.

Popovich shook his head after seeing 4 of 1 shots.

Paul George, the Pacers' second-in-command who is highly praised by the outside world, is extremely talented and has a high ceiling. However, in the eyes of an old coach like Popovich, such a player is not stable enough. This can be seen from his shooting. You can see it.

But many shortcomings can't hide the opponent's outstanding talent, especially in the playoffs, knowing that his offense is unstable, daring to defend, taking on the heavy responsibility of defense, and doing his best in the competition with LeBron. Popovich fancy.

But in the performance of the regular season, Popovich can't see this kind of offensive and defensive balance with all his strength, but think about it, in today's league, most players are chasing offensive data, and few people are willing to invest The energy is on defense.

Fans can't see it, manufacturers don't like it.

Everyone wants to make their data look good, and then earn more small money.

The league is a field of interests, and no one can escape, even Popovich himself is no exception.

On the court, the Pacers had a slightly jerky start, but the Pacers, who quickly took the initiative, gradually gained an advantage by relying on West. Marshall on the Lakers' side took the opportunity to steal two three-pointers at first, helping The home team made great achievements, but soon, George Hill and others were not spectators on the court. Under the leadership of Lin Shaojie, they put a lot of pressure on the Lakers' back line.

The Lakers players have long been prepared, knowing that the opponent is very strong, but facing this kind of defense that seems to be "death-wound" on the outside, Marshall feels like he is stuck in the quagmire, a prey waiting to die.

Not to mention his, including Gasol and others, are beginning to feel the Pacers' defensive pressure.

If the Pacers' offense has talented players like Lin Shaojie and Paul George, then the defense is full of efforts.

Although Roy Hibbert's temperament is unstable, when facing Gasol, his huge body can form enough deterrence to the opponent just by standing there, let alone his ability is passing, Without considering the offense, Gasol has great difficulty in making a successful hit.

Hibbert almost used all his strength in defense, and put all his strength on the Spanish player. This made it difficult for Gasol, who could catch the ball, to score. a ball.

It is conceivable that under such defensive pressure, Gasol may end sadly after halftime.

During the rotation, Lin Shaojie walked off the field as if he didn't consume any energy, and Stephenson, who replaced him, came up excitedly.

Stephenson thought that a big forward like him might be at a disadvantage when facing Nate Robinson. After all, that guy is too short, like an adult who can't catch "popping candy".

But after he came on the field, he never expected that Marshall, who was under the pressure of Lin Shaojie before, would explode.

Before the rotation, Marshall had only two impressive three-pointers, and then he was overwhelmed by the Pacers, and he had no sense of presence on the court.

But instead of Stephenson, Marshall's offensive gradually started. Cooperating with Nick Young and Meeks, especially Gasol on the inside, a series of assists actually gave the Lakers a counterattack momentum at home.

Halfway through the second quarter, Marshall actually scored 6 assists and successfully helped the home team catch up with the Pacers.

Of course, Stephenson also has bright spots in the offense. He scored two one-stop breaks into the paint, which made people think that Wade was possessed. Even deeper is Marshall playing with Stephenson.

Although "Marshal Ma" has no chance to show his personal offensive strength, his assist ability is impressive.

But everything disappeared after the Pacers called a timeout.

Lin Shaojie, who re-entered the court, stood in front of Marshall, who wanted to repeat the same trick, but unfortunately, Lin Shaojie's arm suddenly stretched out, interfering with Marshall's pass, and George Hill snatched the basketball that was interrupted halfway.

The fast-rushing Lin Shaojie immediately received a pass from George Hill. Facing Marshall's block, Lin Shaojie within the three-point line blocked Marshall behind him with a single turn. "Looking at the ocean and sighing!"

"This kid's steps are too nimble, completely different from that exposed sense of elegance."

Marshall had to frown. When Lin Shaojie blocked him behind him, he couldn't squeeze at all, so he could only watch the opponent dunk.

In the next round, Marshall passed the basketball early, but before his teammates could pass it back, Lin Shaojie took advantage of the opponent's attack and completed a sneak attack, stealing it halfway with one hand.

No. 13 of the Pacers can be said to be handy in judging the basketball's every landing point. Nick Young in the attack seems to have patted the basketball into the opponent's hands.

"This is the rhythm to finish!"

Marshall chased and blocked Lin Shaojie again, but seeing the opponent stop one step before the three-point line, before Marshall could block him, he watched Lin Shaojie jump up suddenly and make a successful shot.

You don't need to think about it, how much trust the other party has in your hand feel if you dare to play like this!

"Shh!"

The only thing Marshall is glad about successfully hitting the basketball is that he did not give the opponent a chance to play 3+1.

According to the rumors, how cruel was the 13th when chasing points or widening the point difference.

In the second half of the second quarter, Lin Shaojie, who came back on the field this time, came by himself this time, shooting from inside and outside, and no one could stop the Lakers. Kobe on the 13th is average.

Do not!
This person's shooting ability is far more efficient than Kobe's. He can shoot when he says he can, and he can do whatever he wants!
Under his leadership, the Pacers crushed the Lakers as a whole.

Sitting on the sidelines, Kobe watched what happened on the court. This was not the first time he was a spectator at the Staples Center, nor was it the first time he watched Lin Shaojie's performance on the court.

As the golden generation of 96, Kobe was never the most dazzling one among the four former shooting guards, but he was the one who stood at the peak for the longest time.

Looking back at the early days of his career, Iverson was far more popular than Kobe at that time. If it weren't for the combination of Zijin Dynasty and "OK" and the honor added, it would not be easy for Kobe to come back against the trend.

Kobe, who has had a trough, has experienced the most splendid era, even if he is a latecomer, "The Flash" Wade is trying to hit the next goal.

But in the eyes of most people, Kobe is Jordan at the extreme, and Kobe is at the extreme of Wade.

Kobe's trust in himself has never been lost, even if he has suffered a heavy blow at this time, and it is still the same at the end of his career.

But looking at the situation on the court, Kobe couldn't help being a little skeptical. As their group of people gradually aged, Wade also began to decline. Could it be that Harden, who was called the "first guard in active service" by the media, could stop the gorgeous man in front of him? Chinese?

In the past, most of the duels between the top players ended in mutual explosions. No one could really defend against the other, but Lin Shaojie's appearance under the current league rules seemed a bit out of the ordinary.

When Harden faced Lin Shaojie several times, he lost completely.

Looking at Lin Shaojie's sudden outside shot on the court, the Lakers let alone the back line, even the forward players will not help.

One-on-one on both ends of offense and defense, the No. 13 has already tore the Lakers to pieces. Seriously, he is a standard zero-block opponent. It seems to be a professional and amateur match on the court. The level gap is really too big .

Let alone a breakthrough for the Lakers' guard, it is considered good to be able to complete a jumper from the outside.

Without the cooperation and cover of his teammates, Kobe would have doubted whether the Lakers' guards could move the ball up the court.

In my impression, during the Olympic Games in [-], the beautiful country made many teams "difficult to move an inch" on the basketball court. How many years have passed, and the beautiful country's back line has become like this?
Don't talk about the glory of the four major shooting guards in front of the people, even if they are far away from Harden.

But thinking of Harden, and comparing Harden and Lin Shaojie's face-to-face records, well, even the bearded man didn't take advantage of Lin Shaojie in the slightest.

"This guy is really lucky, born at a good time!"

Kobe couldn't help expressing such emotions. Although they didn't experience the cruelty of the 80s, they entered the league stepping on the tail of the 90s, and they also felt the power of those "monsters". It's no fault of you "big guys". A league where villains are rampant can't give such players a good living environment.

But thinking about this guy's physical talent, Kobe has to admire it. Maybe in that era, this guy is also a talent who can compete with the old hooligan!
Anyway, Kobe couldn't think of anyone with better talent than Lin Shaojie. At least from the perspective of health attributes, that guy really didn't suffer any injuries, which shows how much the Pacers value him.

Think about the group of people back then, in their rookie season, in order to make a good impression in front of the coach, or in order to increase their influence, they were more exposed in front of the fans, who didn't try their best on the court.

Injuried?

As long as it doesn't affect the official game, the coach will let you stay on the court. If a famous coach like Pat Riley keeps you on the court, who would dare to work hard?
If people can use you, they think highly of you. It's not like the "old soldiers" nowadays, who have to see a doctor if they have a slight cold and brain fever.

Pooh!
nausea!
