My vision is different

Chapter 399 "Kawaii" Foul Trouble

Lin Shaojie's off-the-ball running position does not need his teammates to be a cover, he can find a "bunker" by himself.

On offense, Paul George is the best choice for George Hill to pick and roll, even if all George Hill has to do is pass the ball.

Seeing Leonard being thrown away by Lin Shaojie, Paul George's broad body blocked Parker's pursuit, and George Hill passed the ball immediately.

This smooth offense is due to the excellent cooperation of the Pacers "Trident" in the frontcourt in addition to the Indian City Twins.

Leonard has already noticed that it is difficult for him to stop Lin Shaojie from receiving the ball. He lost his center of gravity during the opponent's instantaneous change of direction, and he insisted on relying on his core strength to pull himself back. Even so, his figure was a little staggering.

Quickly steadied himself from the stagger, and jumped with all his strength, Leonard wanted to block the No. 13's shot.

But it is a pity that Lin Shaojie's posture is very deceptive. After receiving the ball, he did not take the first shot, but watched Leonard take off before "seriously" aiming at the basket, and unconsciously moved towards the basket. Going forward, his arm was "putting" under Leonard's palm, and then he took the opportunity to make a move.

"Shh!"

The harsh whistle sounded immediately, and the basketball was still spinning backwards in the air. Popovich, who was off the court, heard the harsh whistle and looked at the referee's gesture. Leonard fouled.

The old man was full of blood: "What kind of eyes do you have, where did you make a foul, and which eye of yours saw the foul?"

The lineman looked at the angry Popovich: "Sir, I hope your attitude is better."

"Which ear feels that my attitude is not good, this is a normal defense, no foul, no foul."

The basketball didn't stop in the air, and plunged into the goal net.

Lin Shaojie smiled, looking at Leonard who was expressionless in front of him.

"You fouled!"

"mean!"

Leonard said with some contempt.

"Did you make a foul?"

Lin Shaojie's words left Leonard speechless. On the big screen above his head, he jumped with all his might, and when Lin Shaojie "actively" approached him, there was no doubt about the hit on his arm.

That's a foul.

If it were any other player, his hand style would definitely be affected with such strength, but Lin Shaojie didn't seem to notice it.

"Beautiful, 3+1."

Li Dacheng stood up in front of the commentary stand immediately. The importance of this goal is self-evident. The most important thing is that Lin Shaojie "pulled" a bloody knife on the powerful defender who defended him, which will make the opponent The kind that throws rats.

Popovich also shouted loudly from the sidelines when the Pacers retreated.

"Lynn, this is the Conseco Arena, you have to win with integrity."

The old coach also had lingering fears when facing Lin Shaojie's "foul" tactic. Although this tactic is now the Rockets Harden's privilege, that guy can be said to be thorough in using the rules, but if he underestimated Lin Shaojie's "careful thinking," then Lun A "sincere" player like Nader is afraid that he will lose to his opponent's cunning.

"Don't worry old man, I will win."

Lin Shaojie backed away without looking back, not forgetting to tease Popovich on the way. The latter pointed at Lin Shaojie and said aggressively.

"Okay, don't play tricks if you have the ability."

"As you wish!"

Lin Shaojie made a very gentlemanly salute. It was obvious that the Pacers were behind at home, but Lin Shaojie's generous response made the Pacers players at home suddenly full of confidence.

"You know, my baby is almost ten months old, and he looks healthier than other kids."

Even though it was the Spurs' attack at this time, Leonard still surrounded Lin Shaojie, who wanted to break through his defense and cause trouble for Parker.

Leonard didn't know why Lin Shaojie was chattering on the court, and he also talked about children.

For Leonard, his childhood was happy, but this kind of happiness collapsed in a robbery accident a few years ago. His father was shot dead, and the originally happy life became difficult. Help, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of that difficult time.

The name "father" was hidden deep in his memory, and the appearance of his uncle gradually took over the role of father.

"You know, children are the cutest and the most annoying when they are so old. When they start to show curiosity about the outside world, they want to try everything, and even use their mouths to taste various flavors."

Lin Shaojie was wrestling with Leonard, Parker took the opportunity to pass the ball to Duncan inside, and the latter took off directly, but unfortunately, Duncan's aim was not good today, West got the defensive rebound, and the two sides switched positions.

Lin Shaojie switched from defense to offense, and Leonard never left.

"My girlfriend once told me that the boring study has become a pleasure because of having children, because raising children is very hard. I have also tried it. When we cannot communicate effectively, those little guys will only rely on instinct. Eating and drinking, we can't do anything about it."

Lin Shaojie dodged Leonard's press, and George Hill's pass was passed immediately.

Lin Shaojie, who held the ball in one hand, put the basketball behind him, and Leonard, with his arms outstretched, was close to Lin Shaojie, not giving him room to shoot.

Parker wanted to complete the steal behind Lin Shaojie. Under the double-team, and Green not far away was still watching, this defensive configuration of 2.5 or even 3 people was far more exaggerated than the Spurs' defense against Kobe back then.

This is the regular season, not the playoffs of life and death.

Lin Shaojie raised his arms high, allowing the basketball to avoid Parker's chasing gun. Leonard couldn't force his opponent to move with his powerful stance. Just as Lin Shaojie was making a breakthrough, Parker surrounded him again. , Leonard stepped back subconsciously.

With only a little space, Lin Shaojie retracted his feet in an instant, pedaled and jumped.

The take-off with a single pen holding the ball makes Lin Shaojie fly in the air in an extremely chic posture, and it feels like everything is under control with one arm hanging high.

"Watch out for his shots!"

Listening to the shouts in the distance, Leonard didn't understand the significance of what Lin Shaojie said about raising children earlier, but in this fierce court game, listening to the other party's warm words, he always felt a little out of place, but Leonard felt that he After listening to it, the other party seemed to be attracting the deepest memory in my heart.

This time the defense was completely relying on Leonard's instincts. After he knew that he was deceived by the opponent's fake action, he rushed forward immediately.

"Don't foul!"

Parker shouted loudly, but it was a pity that although Lin Shaojie didn't take the initiative to go up this time, Leonard couldn't stop the impact posture of his body at all, and he crashed into Lin Shaojie's arms.

Lin Shaojie, who had no leverage at all, maintained the final shooting posture, but his body was knocked crooked under the laws of physics.

From the shot in the air to the protective action when it landed, Lin Shaojie did it in one go.

Even after landing, there is a sliding action to release force.

The referee's whistle sounded for the second time, and this time, Popovich didn't yell, "This is definitely not a foul!"

Everyone could see how vicious Leonard's foul was. Compared with the previous passive foul, this time he was very active. His broad arms were like a humanoid tank, full of strength.

If it wasn't for everyone's deep knowledge of his relationship with Lin Shaojie, they might have thought there was some deep hatred!

"Boy, you are too much!"

West rushed over with a sullen expression, and first helped Lin Shaojie up. Leonard actually reached out, but West opened his arm.

"Young man, this is the last time."

The referee also issued a warning to Leonard at this time. Although the foul did not cause any huge damage, Lin Shaojie also said that it didn't matter after getting up, but as a lighter player, he had nowhere to rely on being hit so fiercely in the air. One moment, maybe he will end up injured.

There are many things to watch in this East-West battle, but the biggest thing to watch is the confrontation between Lin Shaojie and the Spurs soldiers. This is what the league executives want to see, and the rest are just additions.

If Lin Shaojie is taken down for a major show like "Three Greats Fighting Lu Bu", who will guarantee the ratings?

As for Leonard, maybe he is highly anticipated in the Spurs' player sequence, but he is not currently considered by the league's top management. His introverted personality is not a superstar at all, but a good "blue-collar" foundation.

Even to a large extent, he is not as attractive as a "villain" player like Ben Wallace. His character is too obvious and lacks a flamboyant personality.

Leonard backed away silently, but at this moment Popovich called a timeout.

Leonard went off the field with his teammates!
"You have to be careful about your fouls, I don't want you watching our game from the bench."

Popovich warned: "If that guy talks to you on the court, you just need to close your ears and don't listen, you know?"

Popovich knew that his disciple seemed introverted, but in fact he was smart, and belonged to the kind of wise and foolish, but it was precisely because of this that he was easily led astray when he met such a spiritual player as Lin Shaojie.

Originally, he wanted to play steadily for a few years, but he didn't expect that after Leonard attended Lin Shaojie's dinner party, he would take the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of offense.

Popovich didn't know what they talked about, but this incident forced Popovich to open up Nader's offensive ability in advance.

Although the current results are very gratifying, it is because of the harmonious atmosphere in the Spurs that Popovich can hold back, otherwise it is impossible for a new player to seize the right to shoot GDP.

Now Leonard's average number of shots per game can be said to be second only to Parker and Duncan. This is the result. In some non-key games, Leonard's shots per game surpassed Duncan, ranking second in the team.

What surprised Lin Shaojie was that Leonard, who fouled twice in the first quarter, was not put off the court by Popovich. After returning from the timeout, Leonard was still the core player for the Spurs to defend him.

What kind of trouble is this old man Bobo going to do?
"It's strange. Leonard has fouled twice. He is the most important defensive player on the outside of the Spurs. If Kobayashi gives him another foul, who else will be on the outside of the Spurs?",

Both Li Dacheng and Zhang Weiping felt a little strange that Popovich finally replaced Duncan with Dior.

Lin Shaojie didn't care about Leonard's appearance. After the game restarted, it was as if nothing had happened between the two sides, and everything continued as usual.

Leonard tried his best to block Lin Shaojie, Parker looked for opportunities to break through or pass the ball, and Green sometimes fought hand-to-hand with Paul George, or blocked each other.

The new Dior and Splitter competed with Hibbert and West for positions in the interior, and everything on the court was going on in tight circles.

However, as Lin Shaojie's off-the-ball offense began, the point difference between the two sides has narrowed to 2 points.

However, what Lin Shaojie did not expect was that before the big rotation came, when Leonard was man-marking him, he used the opportunity of a screen to make two consecutive mid-range shots. A wave of 7 to 2 scores was played, and the point difference was once again widened.

Although Leonard is surprised by this, it is not surprising. It is indeed unexpected that a player like Diaw shoots three-pointers from the outside.

Obviously, Popovich saw the weakness facing the Pacers in the previous game.

A big man with a three-point shooting range is definitely a sharp weapon for attacking the city.

Diaw is the best candidate for the Spurs to break the game. Even if Leonard scores more points, it is just an addition. His important task is to defend Lin Shaojie.

After the rotation started, on the Pacers side, Hibbert and West went off one after another, and Paul George was also replaced.

Scola and Gobert came off the bench, and Stephenson is also ambitious.

But facing the same bench lineup, from the first quarter to the middle of the second quarter, the Pacers' bench completely fell into a disadvantage.

Leonard's running without hesitation has achieved initial results. Lin Shaojie and George Hill's cooperation is still tacit, but the time consumed in each round is by no means the "fast break whirlwind" in the past.

The seemingly old Spurs occasionally hit fast breaks and counterattacks, which is not inferior to those "little fresh meat" teams.

Players such as Ginobili, Diaw, and Belinelli who came off the bench showed a first-class level in offense.

Especially Belinelli, the Italian who had played well in the Bulls came to the Spurs, almost regained his life and showed great strength. His height can completely play a swingman.

Even when facing Stephenson, he was completely unafraid.

"Oh, this is the first time I saw that the Pacers were still behind when Director Lin was on the court."

Looking at the situation on the court, Zhang Weiping said with some concern.

During the rotation period, Lin Shaojie and George Hill led a group of substitutes to fight back and forth with the opponent. The scene was not at a disadvantage, but the point difference was only 2 points, and the opponent was not completely overthrown.

In the past, regardless of whether he was the main player or a substitute, when Lin Shaojie began to show his off-ball running skills, he could quickly achieve results.

"I think this may be a tactical arrangement."

Li Dacheng said thoughtfully that the Pacers' tactics seemed a little unnecessary. Of course, Lin Shaojie's constant switching between with the ball and without the ball also made the Pacers' tactics a bit messy. Not everyone is Lin Shaojie. Adapt to this tactical change extremely quickly.

On the other hand, it is the reason why the Pacers' substitutes have fallen into a disadvantage.

Although George Hill performed well in cooperation with Lin Shaojie in this regard, he will always be surrounded by the Spurs lineup when he is fighting alone, and the same is true for everyone else.

Stephenson's defense against the Spurs became even more chaotic.

Belinelli has scored 6 points since he came on the field, but Scola has made 4 of 1 shots so far. A wind horse flea performance is a fast break completed by one person.

Lin Shaojie wanted to chase and defend at that time, but Leonard, who had learned badly, kept pulling his clothes when he counterattacked, which affected his speed, which gave Ginobili a chance to play a fast break .

"Is this what you call fair?"

When Lin Shaojie returned to his home halftime, he muttered in a low voice. Popovich, who was not far away from him, smiled and said nothing. He obviously heard it, but pretended not to hear it.

The old fox is a double standard monster.

After completing the fast break, Ginobili raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Shaojie when he returned to the defense. Everyone could see the feeling of "I'm good, come and praise me".

Lin Shaojie didn't care, and responded with a smile.

"Give me the ball!"

After receiving the basketball from George Hill, the main players on the bench are ready to go. Maybe after this round, the main players will return to the game, and the same is true for Duncan on the opposite side.

Lin Shaojie held the ball in his own half, and Leonard was just a step away, sticking to him like brown sugar, preventing Lin Shaojie from having a chance to break fast.

Steady dribbling does not give the opponent any chance to steal. In Lin Shaojie's line of sight, his teammates have already started to move.

There is no pick-and-roll, and everyone is looking for their own opportunities. The Pacers players perform their duties. They trust Lin Shaojie from the bottom of their hearts. There are many monsters in this league, but there is no player who can steal the ball from Lin Shaojie.

After watching Lin Shaojie's private training, they knew that under that kind of rhythm, normal humans could not steal the ball at all.

Leonard also knows this very well. He can limit Lin Shaojie's running positions, but it is absolutely impossible to complete the steal.

The opponent's dribble looks very simple, not as fancy as Irving, but the change of rhythm is just between waving hands. If you watch for a long time, you still feel uncomfortable.

The instability of dribbling frequency, the change of ball speed, etc., besides the controller, the defender is most worried.

Among the 14 points that Lin Shaojie got before, two of the balls were completely loopholes left by Leonard's active attack. The consequence of the steal was a loss of position, so Leonard repeatedly told himself not to attack.

Lin Shaojie kept changing his rhythm, Leonard retreated carefully, and the Spurs' overall defensive lineup made it difficult for his teammates to find too good opportunities.

Popovich thought of almost everything. Lin Shaojie had already run two laps around the periphery. With the help of his teammates, Leonard did not lose his position.

"Strong cast!"

When Lin Shaojie made a shooting posture again, Leonard resisted the desire to jump.

"Fake, it must be fake."

Leonard paused as he watched the opponent's take-off, as if he had to stop the feint after being seen through by him.

However, Lin Shaojie actually took off again during that short pause, with the basketball still in his waist, and following the raising of the gesture, it felt as if the shot had just passed his chest.

It's a bit like a "piss pot" shot.
