My vision is different

Chapter 452 Single core!

"Lynn, are you sure about the next game?"

Larry Bird asked the question on his mind.

After hearing Frank's reply, while "Big Bird" was relieved, he could only sigh that this news was a blessing in misfortune.

How Paul George can recover and whether his state is damaged can only be determined by time.

For the current Pacers, only No. 13 can determine the life and death of the team.

Lin Shaojie knew very well what Larry Bird was most concerned about at this time, and he also knew everything that happened at this time.

For this old man, the only thing he can be thankful for now is that the injured person is Paul George, as the core of the core - Lin Shaojie was not injured.

Perhaps Larry Bird's mentality was too ruthless, but as a team, Ti Shanghuang, Lin Shaojie still understood the truth of being kind and not controlling soldiers.

It's like he was a little indifferent when Danny Granger left the team.

If the Pacers can still defend their title under such circumstances, it can only be said that the league's competitiveness is getting worse and worse, and even the Spurs have begun to muddle through.

Larry Bird was worried about the future and the present at the same time.

After the start of the game, the Spurs, which dominated the home court, quickly found their own rhythm, constantly taking advantage of open opportunities to make shots. If Lin Shaojie hadn't hit a 3-pointer in a counterattack, the Spurs would have scored 7 points in the opening game. Some heat up quickly.

At that time, Granger had already given up on himself, obviously in a bad state, with ups and downs.

The former "merit" has now become a drag. Players who can't be brought up by Lin Shaojie's passing level are outcasts on other teams.

"I can't go on like this, sooner or later I will take a pill."

In yesterday's team training match, Lin Shaojie once again played the role of Dior to train for him, no matter whether it is useful or not, it is all treated as a makeshift.

On the one hand, the visual trauma Paul George brought to the fans is a bit scary;

Zhang Weiping once again said with concern that during the period when Paul George was injured, the brick platform had begun to "blow the news" that the Pacers might lose, and fans and friends do not need to panic.

Fortunately, the second master who had been cultivated with great difficulty bid farewell to this season in an almost "heroic" way. According to the doctor, it is conservatively estimated that the recovery period will be half a year, at least about ten months, so that the Pacers can recover in nearly a year. In time, we need to consider how they should deal with the small forward position.

However, it was precisely because of Granger's departure that the final obstacle was cleared away for Paul George, and his whole person seemed to be reborn.

Of course, during his 'leaving' period, I will do my best to protect the glory of this team as the 'gatekeeper' of the team. "

The Pacers, who were originally looking at shining, without Paul George, the only All-Star who can make a move is actually Lin Shaojie.

But after thinking about it, this player who averaged less than 30 minutes per game during the regular season doesn't seem to be qualified to say anything.

Having said that, after leaving the room, the "Big Bird" who appeared in front of the reporter almost burst into tears, lamenting that the Pacers were unlucky and lost the general at such a critical moment.

Well now, the most crucial fourth game, is it a 3-1 or a 2-2 tie?
No one will blame Lin Shaojie, he is already the best player in the league, even if he fails, all the blame will be directed at other people, or at him, a rookie insider.

Gobert lost the jump ball, and Parker made a 2-pointer under Leonard's pick-and-roll;
Duncan directly dunked Gobert with a backhand on the inside and scored 2 points;
Green received a pass from Parker on the wing and hit a 3-pointer.

Hibbert was still watching the show, and the players whose grandma didn't love and uncle didn't love had already started the offseason health care, and they didn't even have the intention of asking for a fight. The coaching staff simply didn't think there was such a person.

Take a look at the odds offered by the bookmaker. Before this game, the Pacers had little doubt about winning the championship. After all, they took a 2-0 lead, but after this game, the odds of the Pacers winning the championship rose sharply.

It is conceivable how much Paul George's tragedy has affected his teammates.

Paul George's high-speed rise period also requires playing time to feed the ball and increase game experience.

Whether to waste a rare spot during the draft to select a rookie, or continue to strengthen other positions.

Frank agreed, he is the one who directs the game, but it is the number 13 in front of him who fights against opponents on the court and can control the team!
Listening to Lin Shaojie's words, Gobert's eyes were a little moist when he came out of the locker room.

The Pacers lost a big player, a player who can provide 20+ points.

Granger is no longer used to this league, not only because of physical injuries, but also because of his mental problems.

Anyone who hasn't watched football for 30 years can tell at a glance whether you can do it or not.

"I think we are already in such a situation. We have no way out. There is no harm in giving the young people some time. Bynum can play at the last moment. What do you think?"

On the Pacers side, Frank wanted to make adjustments to Gobert at the beginning. Bynum's excellent performance earlier gave Frank a glimmer of hope.

As for the Spurs cheating at home and playing with the air-conditioning problem, that is not a trick. They did worse things than this when they were with the Celtics.

Or let Danny Granger compete head-on with Paul George?

"You are still young, and you have not developed many habits. When facing Duncan, or players like Diaw and Splitter, you don't want to feint or release the ball. You just need to do one thing and get the ball. You have to fight high, use your talent and intuition, don't make any fake moves, the simpler the better, you can't fool those old birds."

After completing the transfer, Granger, who bought out the contract and went to the Clippers, also explained everything with the fact that he could not play.

"Although many people are now saying that we will lose the next game and even this series, we will only fail when we wait, but I will fight back with practical actions. We will definitely take away the victory and win the championship."

The media and fans at the scene unconsciously had such thoughts.

And the Pacers' locker room does not have the imprint of the "old owner", and Lin Shaojie is more and more in control.

You know, Lin Shaojie's record in the playoffs was only an average of nearly 40 points per game.On the stage of the finals, Lin Shaojie's score was only in his early 30s.

The Spurs were about to open champagne to celebrate, and the Pacers were still looking for the small forward they lacked.

Such a player who shoulders the task of attacking, passing and defending has already done many things beyond his age. If he is allowed to strengthen his offense.
Sometimes Larry Bird wondered if he was "squeezing" the Chinese player too much.

Although the injury looks terrible, for athletes, as long as it is not a joint or fascia injury, but only a bone, it is considered a lucky thing. "

This time, the refrigeration equipment in the arena was intact, and there was no problem. Larry Bird, who was sitting in the auditorium, was like a magic needle in the sea, strictly preventing any further troubles from the visiting team.

Sufficient playing time, constantly sharpening the skills of the "second master".

As the core of the Pacers' key training, Lin Shaojie still has some right to make suggestions.

Does Lin Shaojie have the right to keep the former "son of Yincheng"?

This is the Spurs' simple and efficient offense after the opening.

Looking at the Spurs' starting lineup, Popovich still sent a core headed by Parker, Green, Leonard, Diaw and Duncan.

For such a young and energetic team, after suffering such a serious injury, it is already a league rule to not return home. If you want to arouse any resistance, first ask yourself if you have the confidence.

Although Larry Bird on the TV screen repeatedly emphasized in front of the reporters that this is not the final outcome, the Pacers will cheer up, but everyone who has watched such a game has no hope for the Pacers, feeling that this is a dead duck Hard-spoken.

Gobert doesn't know if it's the right thing to do, but he knows Lin Shaojie is right, even veteran players like Duncan do it on offense.

If he really had a good talk with Larry Bird, Granger might still be able to stay.

Reporters also tried to ask such topics, but Frank and others refused to answer.

Have.

The rumors of buying Hibbert off the court also came in waves.

On the other hand, the spirit shown by the Pacers players is really not good.

All in all, before the start of the fourth finals, the media at home and abroad were full of negative voices.

Seeing Lin Shaojie's confidence, "Big Bird" finally nodded in satisfaction.

Leonard himself did not expect that he and Lin Shaojie played against each other in so many games, and this was the most relaxed one he played.

Except for Lin Shaojie who can give people a stable confidence in the back line, the Pacers are completely behind in other positions. This almost useless lineup really has no combat effectiveness.

However, when the Pacers won the championship last year, Zhuantai's son-like performance, and compared with the pessimism at this time, it is completely different.

Throughout the first quarter of the game until before the rotation, the Pacers played extremely difficult. When the point difference was the largest, the Spurs stretched it to 12 points. split up.

Maybe Paul George seems a little immature in hindsight, immature compared with the peak Granger, but it is enough to be used as the "second head" of the Pacers.

"Oh, it's about this time. What kind of ball does Director Lin still pass? His teammates can see that they are at the CBA level. Singles, it's not like they don't have this ability. Even if they lose this game, they can get excellent statistics. You can't have both."

It's not that people's attitude is bad. After all, being able to reach the finals coincided with Paul George's injury. No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of "defeat is glorious".

Both Lin Shaojie and Frank knew that Larry Bird was showing weakness and putting pressure on the league. If the Spurs made another mistake at home, Larry Bird would also take actual actions to retaliate.

But Lin Shaojie rejected Frank's suggestion.

Even the Pacers' team training showed a "sad" atmosphere.

On the third day, the fourth game of the finals officially started at the ATT Center Arena in San Antonio.

"Why did I come late today, because I started after watching all the games, but apart from you, I couldn't see the spirit of other players, they were actually frightened by such a flawed injury.

But what about the results left behind?

It can be said that the cost of the Spurs' "lying" is too high.

The topic of "friendship first, competition second" was brought up again.

The domestic fans were really anxious. Except for Lin Shaojie's 3-pointer, several good opportunities were wasted by the Pacers players. Even the mature and prudent West slipped out of the basket when he made a mid-range shot.

For a non-existent lie, the Spurs will at least have to return millions of dollars, even if it is just a simple wiring inspection and electrical replacement, it is worth a lot of money.

But the subconscious habit of always having to dribble, or fake moves like feints is not good.

A group with high difficulty, in the end this beautiful lateral movement projection brought the point difference back to single digits.

Lin Shaojie replied affirmatively, reassuring Larry Bird.

In order to cover up, the Spurs also stated that after the finals, they will renovate the arena to prevent such a situation from happening again.

Let "Son of Yincheng" continue to compete with himself for the locker room boss?

In the third game, compared with the seemingly old Spurs, but the more they fought, the Pacers were too immature. Seeing the fragile expressions of their teammates after injuries, it seemed that they had not experienced any big scenes.

27 to 18, the Spurs played too easily in this quarter.

While Gobert made his debut, another beneficiary was Stephenson.

"Paul's injury is not the same as the stubborn injury of Danny (Granger), which means that as long as he can discipline himself, we can stabilize the core team.

"Single core?"

It's as if Kobe lost Gasol and LeBron lost Wade.

Gobert tried to overcome, mainly facing that level of insiders, he just did it unconsciously, and sometimes his mentality was a little out of balance on the court, and he ended up making a mess.

The old Spurs played like a youth army during this period, but the Pacers played sluggishly.

When Splitter faced the Pacers, his state was obviously not as good as Diaw's performance.

Few people believe that the Pacers who lost "20 points" can still have a chance to comeback against the wind.

When Lin Shaojie brought George Hill, Stephenson, West, and Gobert on the field, such a Pacer was really much darker than the "stars" on the opposite side.

But a good form is like a suddenly rich wage earner who goes home and builds a glamorous mansion.

The owner was waiting to marry the village flower, but the new house had quality problems and began to sink; a disaster followed, and a mudslide on the top of the mountain came, and this newly built new house was about to be swallowed up .

It is difficult for anyone to accept it.

It's just a game, why is it so difficult for him.
