My vision is different

Chapter 362
The Pacers' first game in February is against the Brooklyn Nets, the team that inherited most of the Celtics' legacy and one of the strongest teams on paper to start the season.

The Nets' visit to Indiana can be described as a visual feast.

The Pacers themselves are considered to be star-studded, but they lack a little background. In contrast, the Nets.

Deron has been famous for many years, Garnett super giant +, Pierce super giant +, Joe Johnson "Eagle King," Livingston's old Ranger.

Not to mention, in terms of body proportions, Lin Shaojie is very similar to Garnett, Livingston and others, which shows that the other two people are really suitable for playing basketball.

But these familiar names are not as extreme as the Pacers nowadays.

Think about it, except that Deron's status in the Nets remains the same as before, everyone else is almost a veteran, and even Garnett and Pierce are about to retire.

Such a player can continue to play his residual heat on the court, a player who entered the industry in the last century!
Getting old!

What kind of situation the Nets are in today is known both inside and outside.

As the coach of the team, Jason Kidd is even a rookie coach. I don’t know how many people looked down upon him before the game. Everyone is thinking about how much the Nets will lose in this away game against the top Pacers in the league. point.

The Pacers started the five tigers at home to meet the enemy. After the opening, the Nets fired first after grabbing the ball.

Pierce, the master of floor flow, fired regardless of the three-point line, which is also beyond the expectations of many people. Joe Johnson also scored 4 points with a penalty shot and scored 7 points. He beat the Pacers 0-[-] in the opening game. Fortunately, Lin Shaojie He stepped forward and hit two goals in a row to help the team recover.

Afterwards, Paul George even received a second pass from Lin Shaojie, made two successful mid-range shots in a row, scored 4 points, and gave his opponent a 10-4 score, narrowing the gap between the two sides.

"Little Fatty" Delong almost wandered outside the three-point line in this game. He has completely lost his heart for Lin Shaojie.

People come and I go;
I vote (pass) when the person leaves!

Deron played very smartly, telling everyone clearly that if I can't beat the opponent, I will not confront him head-on.

Not to mention, this active "escape" style of play is quite effective. After all, Deron's strength still exists. He is the shortest starter among the team's starters. The quarter was played very well.

But the Pacers have never been vegetarians. The inside combination of Hibbert and West is no worse than that of an "old hooligan" like Garnett. The Pacers who switched to the inside soon let Hibbert get benefits. The buckle made Garnett lament that time flies.

By the end of the first quarter, the Pacers went ahead by 1 point and took a 25-24 lead.

The coaches of both sides did not rotate in the first quarter, and did not rotate until the second quarter.

After the start of the second quarter, Garnett made two consecutive mid-range shots. Scola, who replaced West, failed to defend and was successfully intercepted by Garnett in the counterattack of the next round.

It can be said that at the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets played quite well relying on Garnett's personal performance.

Lin Shaojie, who was passing the ball, also had to be convinced. This old guy who entered the league in [-] and was going to be [-] years old, still has such strength now, he is really not an ordinary person.

The small grievances between the two have long been fleeting. After Garnett took the initiative to make friends, Huaguo fans spoke highly of him. Although "Iron Blood Jumper" is a slightly derogatory title, as Durant's Senior, it is not easy to achieve such an achievement in that cruel environment.

Looking back at Garnett's talent, in many ways, he is better than Durant.

Not only inside offense, but also defense. The Celtics can win the championship, and his existence can be said to be the greatest contribution.

Before this season, he had never averaged less than 10 points per game. Last season, he almost averaged more than 15 points per game. In the playoffs, his strength will increase even more.

High school players like him and Kobe, plus McGrady, LeBron and others, you have to admit that the high school players who were selected at that time were really talented, far beyond their peers.

Garnett also played with passion on the court. Although he didn't score in the subsequent game, he also made great assists.

Veteran Jason Terry, who also came on the field, was old and flirtatious. When Lin Shaojie was not paying attention, he escaped Stephenson's chasing gun, received a pass from Garnett, and dunked in the air.

This is also a player who entered the league in the last century. He staged dunks at a young age, which is really a desperate style of play.

Fortunately, Paul George "woke up" in time. When the Pacers fell into a scoring drought, his two consecutive big caps gave the opponent a shock.

One is to let Deron know that he is no longer young, and the other is given to Pierce.

Pierce, who was skilled at his feet, thought he had fooled Scola, but he didn't expect that Paul George's defensive awareness was so good, and he blocked the block abruptly from his hand, which made Pierce feel a little embarrassed.

Lin Shaojie, who was sitting next to Frank off the court, was far happier seeing these two balls than seeing Paul George attacking.

"That's right. Pickled Pepper's defense is still so good. As long as we keep this defensive awareness, we won't have a big problem in the playoffs."

Frank also nodded when he heard that.

The game was a bit difficult in this quarter, but fortunately the Pacers continued to gain the advantage in the interior. Scola made up for it and sent two consecutive wonderful passes in the interior. Paul George made a successful shot after receiving it one step away.

By the end of the second quarter, the Pacers returned the opponent 6-0 and successfully chased the score to 46-45.

The same difference of one point.

When it entered the second half, the two sides played the main game again. George Hill and Paul George fired shots from the outside line one after another. The Nets' double-teaming of Lin Shaojie missed them.

The aim of these two is not bad at all, and the continuous scoring made the Nets' double-team at the Conseco Arena come to an end.

In just five minutes, George Hill and Paul George scored 12 points combined, and the Nets didn't dare to let it go. On the contrary, when Deron faced Lin Shaojie alone, he immediately felt that the Pacers No. 13 deterrence.

Deron knows he can't keep up with the opponent's footsteps, so he often takes a step aside habitually, but Lin Shaojie doesn't care whether his position is reasonable or not, no matter whether he is far away from the basket, as long as Deron lets go of the distance, then raising his hand is a shot.

The Nets were in a cold sweat with an ultra-long-range three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Garnett and others, who were hit by consecutive three-pointers, didn't know what to do. Pierce's three-pointer in the opening game was just a surprise, and he couldn't use it as a conventional weapon.

There is no one in the league that treats three-pointers as a conventional weapon.

But looking at No. 13 on the opposite side, one step away from the three-point line is considered a long-range three-pointer, and two steps away is considered an ultra-long-range three-pointer, but you shoot just after the middle circle, so what is going on?

Is the basket really like the sea?
Kidd didn't know how to defend off the court. The three-point rain fell like a knife, as if cutting flesh. The Nets desperately followed the Pacers, trying to counterattack, but they were completely stunned by the three-point rain. up.

Deron's defense can be considered as hard as he can, and he keeps following his opponent closely, but what's the use of following from the three-point line to the fast middle circle, and then following up and pressing the whole court.

Seeing Deron's stern expression, and seeing Lin Shaojie coming with the ball, this time he had to defend closely. The Pacers' No. 13 changed direction and accelerated, leaving Deron behind.

Compared with the previous three-point attack, this time the attack was flawless, and the sense of failure in Deron's defense was too strong.

Just when the Pacers' offense was surging, no one thought that Livingston would stand up at this time.

He dodged George Hill in the counterattack, and after a staggered mid-range shot made a successful hit, his shooting switch seemed to be turned on.

In the Pacers' half, he also fired at anytime and anywhere, scoring 8 points in a row to help the visiting team stop the bleeding.

If it weren't for Lin Shaojie and George Hill switching defenses, this guy's consecutive hits should not be underestimated.

The audience in this game also watched the tide of "doing" one after another. No one thought that the Nets with a poor record could play like this at the Pacers' home court. Don't fall behind.

The last team that could play well against the Pacers was the Spurs and Heat.

If the Nets could play like this in the first two months, it must not be such a result.

What a pity!

Kidd was also silent. He knew well that it would take the life of the three armies for the Nets to play like this, but the truth was right in front of them. To be able to play like this, the Nets almost exhausted their efforts.

Whether it's the fourth quarter or the next round, the Nets are afraid that they will be exhausted and exhausted.

Wait until the fourth quarter, as expected.

Lin Shaojie led a group of substitutes to show off on the court. Mahinmi, a rough guy, was not afraid of the opponent's intimidation at all, and pressed Garnett in the paint.

There is no skill at all, the kind that breaks through everything with one force, and succeeds in consecutive dunks. Although Livingston continues to show off and helps the team survive by relying on mid-range shots, wait until Lin Shaojie continues to rain three-pointers.

Everything started to fail.

Kidd saw clearly that when Garnett didn't do anything under a substitute player like Mahinmi and made a mistake, the physical alarm sounded.

Deron couldn't keep up with Lin Shaojie's footsteps. At such a critical moment, Lin Shaojie, who helped the team gain the lead with three-point rain, went deep inside and played with Pierce in the low post.

This was almost the last straw that broke the camel's back, whether it was Pierce or Garnett who helped defend.

When the two old men faced Lin Shaojie, all they saw was "slowness" and clumsiness. Everyone could see that the two were not on the same frequency at all.

A young man like Lin Shaojie even relied on his youth to overwhelm Pierce with a turnaround hook. The unpretentiousness of that ball was completely crushed in terms of strength!
The fans at the scene looked at the "thin" figure similar to Livingston, and they had to admire how abruptly he scored points in front of a "strong man" like Pierce.

"It's really a man!"

Bullying the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled is not something to be ashamed of in daily life, but if you put it in the arena, it is to remind the other party that there are talents from generation to generation. Old guys, you should give up your position.

Lin Shaojie played happily at home, and the people on the opposite side could see it. Unless the Nets surrendered, this guy might really stay on the court and consume until the last moment.

Although Lin Shaojie did not play in the second quarter, Lin Shaojie, who played nearly three quarters, also played nearly 30 minutes.

If the last quarter of the game can be played to the full, this is also Lin Shaojie's rare long playing time. For fans who spend money to watch the game, this kind of game is the most realistic and extremely cost-effective.

With three minutes left in the game, Kidd had no choice but to replace the main player. Although Joe Johnson also made a three-pointer just now, it didn't help. The difference between the two sides has reached 14 points. An embarrassing, but helpless score.

And Lin Shaojie even successfully scored 2+1 in the interior during the counterattack. Under the opponent's extremely deceptive actions, Garnett could only be deceived and sent a foul.

After completing the free throw, Lin Shaojie walked off the court with ease, and was greeted by the cheers of "MVP" from all the fans.

At that moment, the glory of Conseco Arena belonged to No. 13!
As for the substitute players on both sides playing back and forth in the next three minutes of the game, it was all a trick to deceive the fans. It has ended.

After the game, Garnett, Pierce and others did not show any sense of loneliness, even Kidd was like this. All of them praised their opponents and encouraged themselves in front of the reporters.

"It was a fun game to lose, yes, we lost this game, but we've been through so much."

Garnett shook his head, spread his hands and said, "Isn't it just being double-killed by the Pacers this season? Although this is not the result I want, it is not an unacceptable result for me and others."

"Are you admitting that the Pacers are better than you?"

The reporters asked eagerly.

"Hi buddy, isn't this obvious?"

Garnett laughed "haha" and said: "The Pacers have only lost three games today. They are catching up with the Bulls' record. I don't think it is a shame to lose to such a team."

Speaking, Garnett also looked at the scoreboard: "Look, we only lost to our opponent by 9 points! Before the fourth quarter, the minimum difference between us and the opponent was only 1 point."

Just when Garnett was being interviewed, Pierce jumped out from the side: "Yes, we are old, that guy is still young, what's the point of losing to young people, the future of the league belongs to them, we are already in the past tense , who remembers us, they're chanting 'Lynn' 'Lynn' all day now.'

Damn, I get a headache now just hearing that name, and he beat me to it again. "

The vinegary words made the interviewing reporters smile, and Pierce looked very good.

"You know? That guy turned around and shot in front of me. If it wasn't on the basketball court, I would definitely kick his ass. He seemed to keep reminding me, 'Hi, old guy, you should retire, retire up'"

After finishing speaking, Pierce himself laughed, and Garnett on the side also nodded: "I'm sure we're getting old, but I'm even more sure that you can't beat him."

After speaking, Garnett made a gesture of Bruce Lee, and screamed "Yiya".

"Lin En has kung fu!"

Not far away, Lin Shaojie, who was also being interviewed, was also sweating. If he has "Kung Fu", he can't get over it, right? This is a basketball court, not a boxing arena.

This game against the Nets was praised by many people after the game.

For the league as a whole, "old school" and respect for tradition seem to go hand in hand.

Thinking back to when Garnett and others first entered the league, how much those high school students were looked down upon, how many people praised them today.

It doesn't matter if they lost the game, but they persisted until the third quarter. Even when Lin Shaojie was on the court, even in the first half of the fourth quarter, the Nets played bloody.

So after the game, seeing that the atmosphere of the two sides was good, in addition to the praise for the Pacers, it was more of a compliment for the Nets.

And Deron's move of "knowing the current affairs" in the first quarter actually gave other players and coaches a feeling of bright eyes.

Everyone knows that Lin Shaojie of the Pacers is difficult to deal with, so why fight hard?

Can't you get out of the way?

Isn't it just a mutual explosion at most, as long as the ball can be hit, what's the point of being wronged?
And as the Pacers' next opponent, Magic coach Jacqui Vaughn thinks so.

Last season, he made shocking deals with the Lakers, 76ers, and Nuggets. He was described as a Magic who "got a pile of scrap metal". This season's record is mediocre.

But look at the Lakers and other teams, Howard, Bynum, and Iguodala, which of them didn't change teams this season, only the Magic are still enjoying the fruits of the trade.

Vucesic is a double-double frequenter and one of the few centers in the East.

Of course, these can't cover up their poor record, but the Magic gave people some hope after all.

Especially Oladipo, who was selected this season, has become the hope of the Magic.

Hailed as the next "Lynn!"

The back line composed of him and Efflalo are all typical players who can pass and shoot, and of course they are all players who are stronger in offense than assists.

Jacqui Vaughn and other coaches understand how difficult it is to find a guard with excellent assist ability in today's league. Everyone is looking for statistics, let alone a classical top point guard like Kidd. .

It is not easy to simply pass the ball and let teammates make a smooth shot.

This kind of "simple" organization is almost extinct. Even a player with excellent assist ability like Lin Shaojie, if it is not for his excellent offensive ability, it may not be so good.

The requirements for point guards have long ceased to be a purely passing role, you need to attack.

Sorting out the team sounds difficult, but in fact it is even more difficult. Some balls are passed to others as well as by yourself.

Both attack and pass are important.

So in this game, as the coach of the Magic, he subconsciously ignored this point. He, Jacqui Vaughn, planned to learn from the Nets to avoid the opponent's strongest point.

But after the game started, this rookie coach who was also pink and tender, Jacqui Vaughn, who had less experience than Frank, felt that he was thinking too much.

Regardless of Afflalo or Oladipo, when they faced Lin Shaojie, their performance was far worse than that of Deron.

The latter suffered a disadvantage in the scene, but he could grab what he should get. The data is not too disadvantaged, but when these two Magic guards face Lin Shaojie, it is really not enough.

If you can't score, you can't pass, what do you make other people think.

In this game, Jacqui Vaughn's lineup is mainly composed of two players, and Oladipo, who has high hopes, can be regarded as able to pass and shoot.

Coupled with the reputation of Vucevic in the team, Glenn Davis and Tobias Harris are both considered capable.

But facing the Pacers' starting five, a balanced lineup inside and outside.

The first to drop the chain was Oladipo, the Magic's "Lynn!"
