My vision is different

Chapter 423
As the Heat coach Spoelstra frowned, he could see that the Pacers were showing mercy.

With the current strength of the two sides, the Pacers can score more points, but judging from the previous game format, almost every time the Heat scores, it consumes a huge amount of energy.

In contrast to the Pacers' offense, a few simple passes to the frontcourt, and then either passing or shooting, the offense is a simple batch.

Wade scored the team's most 18 points, already a little out of breath during the intermission.

LeBron is in good shape, but so far, only 9 points have been recorded.

This is not a manifestation of the strength of both sides at all. Facing the Pacers, the Heat almost fell into a disadvantage.

How to play this game?
This is not an essential question, but how the Heat should face the Pacers in the next series of games.

This is where Spoelstra has a headache. In the series, he doesn't want to shave his head with the Heat.

The start date of the Western Conference Finals was later than that of the Eastern Conference Finals. Popovich sat in the office with his players early on, watching everything that happened on the screen.

He felt that not only himself, but also the soldiers of the Thunder should be the same.

No matter who they are, whether they make it to the finals or not, their opponent is definitely not the Heat, but the Pacers, the team that won the NBA record in the regular season.

Popovich was happy when the news that Hibbert had a falling out with the Pacers, and even had a conflict with Lin Shaojie, but soon, he felt that the news came too early. If it exploded during the finals, it would definitely cause irreparable losses to the Pacers.

But now, it was exposed at the beginning of the playoffs. With the Pacers' deep background, they are enough to find a way to deal with it.

In fact, Popovich can feel from last year's finals that when Hibbert faced Duncan, he was almost taught to be a man.

The young man who "studied" with Duncan during the offseason has now become a veteran on the court, so when facing a player with mature experience and a stable mentality like Duncan, his performance was indeed miserable. His Pacers have nearly the same effect against the Spurs.

Now, Gobert, who was supported by the Pacers, is different.

The mentality of young people has collapsed a lot in the playoffs, but there are also many young people who have exploded with unlimited potential during the playoffs. Those unknown factors are mostly these players.

The same young Frenchman currently looks determined, and the Pacers seem to have picked up another great thing in the draft.

Lin Shaojie in Popovich's sight was a peerless beauty two years ago, and now he has matured.

According to the in-game statement, the young man's skills on the court mean that enemies with low agility are not even qualified to touch him, so under such circumstances, if you see a six-foot-four player, it is absolutely The speed is not as perverted as Bolt, but the flexibility is even better. This inhuman talent is amazing!

Wade is nicknamed "The Flash," but you can't feel it from all aspects. As far as you can see, there is only a strong bulldozer fighting on the court.

In Popovich's impression, the core of the team is mostly offensive and defensive, but now the offense is gradually stronger than the defense. There are too few players like Duncan.

But Lin Shaojie in front of him is definitely one. His offensive moves are simple and effective, and the whole process can be regarded as unpretentious, but standing in the eyes of the audience, he can still feel the gorgeousness, smoothness and ease.

Moreover, in Lin Shaojie's body, Popovich even felt the attributes of a "flying man", not the absolute jumping height, but the feeling that he has enough strength to fly in the air, and the air moves with ease, too chic and too elegant.

Kobe couldn't do this when he was young, and only an old hooligan can do this. Could it be said that this kid in front of him can become "the second generation of flying people?"

Popovich himself couldn't believe it, mainly because the two players' styles of play were a little bit different.

One is mainly attacking; the other is mainly passing.The same is that both of them have extremely strong lethality, one is stronger than attacking the inside line, and the other is stronger than outside shooting.

Just like the ball just now, Wade has completely lost his position, but LeBron successfully defended. Lin Shaojie, who was flying in the air, had missed the best time to pass the ball, but Hua Guo 13 still completed the pass in the air. Thinking" and dodging, changing hands, changing directions, and changing positions to score again.

Looking at the easy and comfortable layup, time seemed to be frozen at that moment. Everyone else felt like they were standing there, and only Lin Shaojie was making movements in the air.

After thinking about it, I really feel that it is a bit exaggerated.

When replayed in slow motion, it was even more clearly seen that the rhythms of the two sides were not on the same level at all.

Lin Shaojie, who is still fighting on the field, seems to have received Frank's true biography. In the first game between the Pacers and the Heat, Frank planned to hold back.

So when the second half started, Lin Shaojie sat off the court and became a substitute.

Evan Turner went up, so did Stephenson.

The player on the opposite side looked at it, hehe, who is this looking down on?

If this is the case, don't send "Number 13!"

It was at this time that the fans of the Conseco Arena realized that although Evan Turner's appearance could continue to help the home team continue to score, but like in the first half, he showed a crushing form for the Heat. .Turner's strength, he can't do it.

Wade's intermittent scoring became the highest in the game, but it was never because of his lack of scoring ability, but because "The Flash" was restricted by the "Commander".

Today's Pacers don't have a commander, and Evan Turner's attempt to lock down Wade is completely useless.

Wade's role in the Heat was immediately reflected.

Although LeBron was followed and defended by Paul George as always, the "liberated nature" Wade was full of lethality, and his sudden inside and outside shots instantly helped the Heat find their offensive rhythm.

In addition, Bosh can bully Gobert on the inside. The feeling of instant change of form cannot be compensated by Evan Turner and other players.

Scola's appearance in the second half helped the home team score. He played a great role in the interior, and the Heat's restrictions on him were limited.

But the connection between Wade and Bosh, plus LeBron can find some opportunities from time to time, this trio really suppressed the Pacers.

At least during the period when Lin Shaojie was on the bench, the score was caught up by the Heat a little bit!

"I can't bear it anymore!"

Frank called a timeout after seven or eight minutes of the game, and Paul George couldn't help complaining.

His consumption in this game is really too great. If he didn't have the offensive and defensive shoulders, he would have started to call the police in terms of physical fitness, but even so, as the first choice to defend LeBron, his physical consumption is also astonishing!
"Then what are you waiting for, go on stage!"

Frank pointed to Lin Shaojie, who nodded.

Sitting on the court and resting for a while, the Heat slowly caught up to the score, but the absolute point difference is here, and it is impossible to overtake.

The most important thing is that Paul George's restrictions on LeBron are in place, and Frank's tactical arrangements are very successful.

Wade also had a headache when he saw Lin Shaojie reappearing.

His speed and impact are a big killer for Evan Turner, Stephenson and others.

But facing No. 13 of the Pacers, that kind of strength felt a little scratchy.

Lin Shaojie is obviously a thin guard-type player, but when he really stands on the court, the impact is too strong.

Not just offense, the most important thing is defense. Wade has never been the kind of player who combines offense and defense. He is still more offensive than defensive.

But even in this situation, it is still very difficult to break through Lin Shaojie's defense.

Sure enough, as the Heat served again, they wanted to try to catch up with the score.

But facing Lin Shaojie's defense, Wade could only cover sideways.

Bosh had already come out from the inside, wanting to help his teammates pick and roll, but Lin Shaojie seemed to have predicted it in advance, he evaded Bosh's cover with one turn, and stood in front of Wade again.

With that kind of speed and rhythm, ordinary players can't keep up at all, and there is a sense of contrast between professional and amateur.

Wade, who wanted to get to the basket, had to stop and pass the ball to Ray Allen temporarily.

But facing the Pacers' zone defense, Ray Allen's shot timing was not good. This outside three-pointer could only end up smashing the basket.

The Pacers grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately launched a fast break, and LeBron, who was still entangled with Paul George, returned to the defense immediately.

But when he saw that it was Lin Shaojie who got the ball, LeBron's enthusiasm for chasing and defending also dropped, and the little emperor watched the opponent successfully layup.

It took only three seconds for the Pacers' No. 13 to enter the Heat's half. An unremarkable "putting the basket" under the watchful eyes of the players in the audience scored 2 points.

"Just ask you, how to play such a game!"

Zhang Weiping, who is far away in Huaguo, said arrogantly: "The Pacers do not take more than five seconds before and after an attack. A team like the Heat can't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at all. As long as there is an offensive error, it is equivalent to giving the opponent a score. In this way How to play the game?
Judging from the current statistics, the Heat lost to the Pacers by 9 offensive rebounds in the first half and offensive rebounds alone. The difference in offensive and defensive efficiency between the two sides is too great. "

In the third quarter, Lin Shaojie didn't play for a long time, but his defense and fast break left a deep impression on the fans. His second appearance instantly disintegrated the Heat's advantage.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, Lin Shaojie cooperated closely with Paul George and George Hill on the defensive end, blocked LeBron, Wade and Ray Allen from the outside line one after another, and the Heat missed consecutive three-pointers. , and was instantly opened up by the opponent.

Spoelstra directly raised his hand and surrendered. The huge point difference of more than [-] points made the Heat's coach aware that they lacked effective offensive means, and they couldn't even break through the Pacers' defense. How could they win? next game.

Bosh could hardly catch the ball in the paint, so he didn't have much effect, and he was almost useless!
As soon as the Heat coach replaced LeBron, the commentators at home and abroad began to declare.

"The game entered garbage time early!"

At that moment, there were still six or seven minutes before the end of the game.

Without a pure inside Heat, just relying on Bosh to fight inside, how can such a game go on.

In addition to the Pacers' very fast offensive and defensive transitions in this game, the most critical point is Paul George's defense against LeBron at all costs.

The Pacers' second-in-command scored less than 10 points, only 4 assists, and only 3 rebounds.

With such bleak data, if you don't watch the game, you almost think he is unworthy.

But the fans who have watched the game know very well that he is the number one factor for the Pacers to easily defeat the Heat, tied with Lin Shaojie for the number one factor.

The Pacers' eldest and second teamed up to block the "Little Emperor" and "The Flash," and the Big Three lost the second. The result of such a game was already predictable.

Especially in the first half, the Pacers showed a fiery state when facing the Heat, and the point difference ran to 19 points at most.

LeBron is almost an invisible man in this game. It can be seen that the sacrificed Pacers' strategy of "sacrificing" the second leader is very successful.

So after the game, Lin Shaojie did not participate in the press conference, but Paul George personally participated.

After all, this game is too much sacrifice for "Pickled Pepper"!

The score of 106 to 88 fully explained the game process.

The Heat want to win a victory over the Pacers, but they haven't seen any hope yet!

"If the Heat stick to their current style of play and want to beat the Pacers, it's impossible!"

Popovich said this to his players after the game.

"The Heat lacked an inside line and a pivotal player for support. Bosh was too thin to stand at all. The Pacers just sent a young Frenchman and completely overwhelmed the opponent. So if there is no accident, Our opponent in the Finals is still the Pacers."

"Lynn's impact is too strong, and no one in the Heat can restrain him."

Parker sat on the sidelines and agreed with the coach very much.

"No, someone in the Heat can limit him."

Popovich raised his index finger and replied affirmatively: "Wade can't keep up with Lynn, but LeBron can. If Paul George defends Lynn the way he defends him, the Pacers' offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced, but..."

Popovich paused: "But whether LeBron is willing to make sacrifices, I don't know, but this is the only chance for the Heat to win.

On the whole, the Heat are a deformed team. Their bench depth is not enough to support them to the stage of the finals. The combat method that relies entirely on the personal ability of the stars is still based on fast break and small ball. Live, they lack the ability to attack at critical moments.

A three-pointer like Ray Allen can't play an effective offense against a team like the Pacers who are good at three-point shooting.

So under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Heat to climb over the mountain of the Pacers. The question before us is, how do we solve the Pacers, how to solve that No. 13! "

"Kawaii" feels that many teammates are focusing on him again, but in last year's playoffs and this year's regular season, he was the No.1 choice to defend Lin Shaojie.

But in fact, in the first two quarters or even the first three quarters, his role seemed to be very significant, but in the last quarter, the critical moment of the game, that big killer almost ignored him.

Whether it's a frontal sudden shot or a low-post single, the Pacers' No. 13 goal is surprisingly efficient. Without the help of his teammates, Leonard himself knows very well that he is not the opponent of the Chinese.

The opponent's physical fitness is surprisingly good, and he is not the yellow person in the impression at all.

Both strength and speed, flexibility and flexibility go hand in hand!

"Forget it, let's think about our next opponent Lei Ting, we must not stumble, understand?"

Popovich still did not release the pressure in the end. Instead of considering the final opponent, it is better to calculate the Thunder first.

At least compared to the Pacers, the Thunder is still easier to beat.

After all, the team full of youth storms on the bench is not as difficult as the Pacers. They are also a team that relies on the main force to win the world. The bench is as stretched as the Heat!
