My vision is different

In all the matches between the Spurs and the Pacers, fans and industry experts alike, everyone said that the Pacers’ disadvantage lies in the interior. Even if all the players are in order and Paul George is not injured, Hibbert can still stand in the main position. .

When the Pacers face the Spurs, the inside line is definitely not comparable to the latter. In terms of relative strength, the Grizzlies have the confidence to say that they are not afraid of the Spurs' inside line. I have no confidence to get up.

The insiders of the Spurs are well-known, but in fact, the Spurs can achieve such a good result this season. The team achieved a rare victory.

But it's a pity that the Spurs once again returned to the "tradition" when facing the Pacers. Their outside line failed to play out, and they still had to rely on the inside line to win.

Even without Paul George, Lin Shaojie's configuration with other players is not bad. Parker, the core of the Spurs, has suffered too much from him.

Look at the current situation, Parker has been beaten off the court to "rest".

Perhaps only the inside of the Spurs can bring some hope to San Antonio fans!

But with the outbreak of Mills, Spurs fans will certainly have more fantasies.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Shaojie did not play cards according to common sense. He did not start playing from the outside, and did not pass the ball. He directly rushed into the inside and deceived Matt Bonner.

This was obviously an intention to make a foul, and Popovich off the court was shocked by it, and stood up all of a sudden.

Didn't it mean that the Spurs' inside line is very strong and deep?Is Matt Bonner more a "thousand-year-old substitute"?

However, with a very similar experience to Mills, as a power forward, Bonner, who can play as a guest center at critical moments, is also considered indispensable in the Spurs' lineup.

The 08 season was Bonner's peak, occupying most of the starting time, but in fact Bonner's average playing time was at most [-] minutes per game, and he never reached it again.

Even in terms of statistics, it is difficult for you to see how many eye-catching statistics such a big player can have. He is even a striker without many "skills".

However, Bonner, who has played for the Spurs for many years, has become the fortress that the Spurs rely on the most on the perimeter thanks to his three-point shooting percentage of more than [-]%.

And in defense, his cooperation with Duncan is very tacit, compared with Dior and others.

The Spurs can limit every opponent's scoring below the league's average line, thanks to drinking fountain players like Bonner.

Such a striker who can release Duncan's ability and protect Duncan at the same time is definitely a scarce "material" in the Spurs.

But Lin Shaojie seemed to be grabbing the Spurs' sore foot, and he actually started to play tricks. This is definitely something Popovich can't bear, otherwise the Spurs will be as unavailable as the Pacers sooner or later.

And at critical moments, Bonner's role will be infinitely magnified, otherwise it would be impossible to simply rely on GDP to win the game.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Lin Shaojie, who took the initiative to get up, completed the final shot.

"2+1, beautiful 2+1!"

Barkley shouted excitedly as the basketball tumbled into the hoop.

"The Spurs finally got the chance to close the score, but it was the first time Lynn touched the ball on the court, and he helped the team to open the point difference to more than 5 points. This is really a magical player."

Matt Bonner could only stand still and watch Lin Shaojie go to the free throw line.

The Pacers' No. 13 free throw is as stable as an old dog. It would be incredible if something like the "shark-cutting" tactic happened to him, unless it was from the perspective of a disabled person.

Lin Shaojie, who scored this "2+1", received warm cheers from all the fans.

"Lynn, MVP!"

"Lynn, MVP!"

"Lynn, MVP!"

Everyone is an active player, who doesn't envy such a home court treatment, Mills is not far from the baseline, looking at the player who seems to be shining under the light.

"I feel like that kid is staring at you, we have to show him some color!"

Mills was very upset and said to Matt Bonner, the latter was noncommittal, and obediently walked to the bottom line, ready to serve and attack again.

"Give me the ball!"

Mills said absent-mindedly that for a while the Spurs' outside offense was all up to him, and his touch was just right, even Ginobili was slightly inferior.

According to common sense, this goal should have waited until Ginobili, and the two went forward together, but Mills wanted to try his own touch, whether he could complete the goal in front of that man.

During the regular season, Lin Shaojie's "short" playing time was almost reserved for the main players, and there were not many opportunities for him to show his strengths. The pressure on him was purely the feeling of "heard about you".

Even in Mills' view, Lin Shaojie's speed is just a dislocation advantage, not as exaggerated as everyone said.

Just like Durant, Mills admits that Durant is very good, with all kinds of shots, but in terms of absolute speed, Mills does not believe that anyone can surpass him, at most it is a thin line.

But at the moment when Bonner completed the pass and Mills was about to catch the ball and counterattack, the latter felt a gust of wind passing by, and by the time Mills reacted, the basketball in his hand had been snatched with a "snap".

When Mills came back to his senses, he only saw the sound of a rapid lift-off, which was printed on the prominent number plate on the back.

"Number 13, Lynn!"

With a bang, Lin Shaojie completed the heavy dunk before Bonner arrived.

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle to stop the game.

Popovich actually called a timeout with little time left in the first half.

Turning his head to see the angry expression on the coach's face, Mills knew that he was in big trouble.

Even if he scored 10 points in a row to help the team bite the Pacers, but under his mistake, the Pacers have already led by 9 points, and the point difference is about to break double. Within half time, they were behind their opponents by double digits.

The sympathetic Mills was not severely punished. Although his mistake caused the Spurs to fall behind in an instant, Lin Shaojie, who even scored 5 points, also helped the home team gain the lead again, but recently, Mills' touch Good and well-recognized.

After the timeout came back, Mills honestly cooperated with Ginobili, and he could see that the old coach still wanted Parker and others to rest for a while.

But when Mills dribbled the ball past George Hill's defense and came to the frontcourt, Lin Shaojie with his arms outstretched was like another Leonard.

And compared to the latter, Lin Shaojie's lateral movement is astonishingly fast. Compared with the "far view" off the court, you can only find out how scary the opponent's athletic ability is in face-to-face combat at this time.

It's like an amateur player meets a professional player and gets crushed.

Mills' continuous changes of direction couldn't get rid of his opponent at all. Leonard, who was not far away, wanted to cover at first, but was rejected by Mills. That guy seemed to want to try Lin Shaojie's "quality".

Subconsciously, Leonard retreated from the three-point line, stood near the outside line and began to mark people.

Even Ginobili behaved like this. Obviously, these two people know Lin Shaojie's defensive strength very well.

Or from the perspective of the Argentines, Lin Shaojie can make steals, but he is just wasting time on the field and creating a misunderstanding for Mills. Thinking of this, Ginobili hurriedly asked for the ball.

But in the eyes of Mills, who already felt the hope of a breakthrough, Ginobili had no place at all. The sudden forward move seemed to break through the Pacers' defense, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in his stern expression.

But Ginobili, who didn't get the ball, made an astonishing judgment. He should have attacked, but subconsciously ran towards his own half.

really
"Snapped!"

Mills passed by, but Lin Shaojie, who only made one shot, jumped out from his breakthrough figure, and he couldn't get past the ball.

Mills looked at his empty palm, and when he looked back, he only saw Lin Shaojie facing Leonard's defense, and with a quick turn, he bypassed the Spurs' perimeter gate.

Ginobili, who had already retreated to the three-point line, lowered his body to prevent the impact of Lin Shaojie's breakthrough.

But facing this hard-won opportunity, Lin Shaojie threw Ginobili away with a simple change of direction, but Ginobili, who wanted to foul, withdrew at the last moment.

After all, it was only 2 points, and he was afraid that even if he made a foul, he would give his opponent a chance to score 3 points.

Not only Mills, who made a mistake, but also all the players of the Spurs and Pacers, as well as all the audience present, watched Lin Shaojie break through the two consecutively.

When Lin Shaojie soared into the sky, and a light figure like a "Zonda" floated in the air inside the free throw line, Barkley, who was sitting in front of the commentary stand, sighed.

"Lin En's attitude in the air is really beyond imagination!"

Yes, there are more players who can dunk, and [-]% of the NBA can dunk.

It's just such a show of talent that is neither difficult nor free-throw line jumping, but an ordinary slam dunk.

But Lin Shaojie showed the simplest thing from the beginning to the end.

"The beauty of basketball!"

The power of rebounding from the ground when taking off, the stability given by the core when flying in the air, and the impact and sense of rhythm brought by the dunk, all of which illustrate the beauty of basketball.

From this ball, you can't even see Lin Shaojie's "air walk" and other showy elements, but when the slow motion replays, you will be surprised to find that this ordinary dunk is matched with Lin Shaojie's figure , how beautiful it is.

Applause sounded from all directions, and Popovich could only look angrily at Mills who caused all this.

Mills also knew that this game should be over for him.

It is not terrible to make mistakes, what is terrible is to make mistakes one after another!

Soon the two sides of the match discovered that Mills's mentality was obviously problematic. He didn't even dare to face Lin Shaojie's offense and defense. The Spurs once again returned to the rhythm of GDP.

When the whistle sounded at the end of halftime, the faces of the Spurs players were not good.

The player who wants to prove himself, the player who scored 10 consecutive points to show his explosive scoring ability will definitely be sidelined by Popovich, at least it is difficult to see his appearance in the second half.

The mistake Mills made was fatal, and the score of 54 to 42 also gave the Pacers a double-digit lead at home.

This was caused by Ginobili scoring a fairy 3-pointer at the last moment, otherwise the Spurs would be at least 15 points behind.

When the halftime game came, the media were paying attention to the records of both sides of the game, and on the other hand, they were also paying attention to the celebrities present.

Those in the entertainment and fashion circles who are closer to the basketball circle are naturally the key targets of traffic. Their words and deeds can be sought after by the audience after the game. In this era of entertainment to death, such things are very important for reporters. For us, don't be too good!

As the Pacers' opponents, the Spurs' players and coaches were also interviewed during the intermission.

Ginobili, who was about to leave the field, was immediately stopped by reporters.

"Manu, the attack 2 minutes ago, why did you return to the defense at the first time, when you were still in control of the ball! Do you not trust your teammate Mills? Do you think he can't break through Lynn? defense?"

Ginobili glanced at the reporter and responded helplessly.

"I always believe in my teammates."

After finishing speaking, Ginobili waved his hand helplessly: "That may be a wrong move by mistake, I just have the slightest feeling that it is not good, okay, we played very hard in this game, we need Rest and recover as much as possible."

Manu Ginobili, who was showing signs of fatigue, bid farewell to the reporters and hurried back to the locker room. The whole form was too unfriendly to the Spurs.

Not far away, Duncan was also entangled by reporters.

"Tim, are you satisfied with your performance in the first half? Did the Pacers' performance today exceed your expectations?"

"We conceded a lot of balls that we shouldn't have conceded and that was the biggest reason we were behind. Our tactics were fine, but we didn't perform well in terms of execution.
The Pacers are pretty normal to me, they're a great team, of course, I've seen more of Lynn, he's been great in the first half, I'm not talking about his scoring, but his control The rhythm, our double-teaming has no effect on him, he is a smart player, our biggest problem. "

As the head of the Spurs, Popovich was also pulled out to "whip the corpse," no, pulled out for an interview.

"Mr. Coach, are you satisfied with your performance in the first half?"

"Which of your eyes can see that I am satisfied?"

Popovich, who twitched the corner of his mouth, said dismissively, and the reporters didn't care too much, they were familiar with this routine.

"So you are not satisfied with the performance of the players?"

"Which eye do you see that I am dissatisfied?"

Popovich replied with the same expression, and then took the initiative to grab the microphone.

"I still approve of the performance of the players, but we have encountered better opponents. The game is not over yet, and we still have hope of winning.

I know what you want to ask, I will not give you a chance.

In the case of Lynn, I was shocked by his personal performance, because his appearance has led to a great increase in the strength of the Pacers. He has already won the championship and is trying to defend it. Players of this age I know Among them, Lynn is the only existence.

But I still want to say that players like Manu performed better, they are the best in the world.

We just had some problems in defense, whether it was individual defense or collective defense, we had some small problems, and this small problem was caught by the No. 13, that's all. "

"But you double-teamed Lynn?"

"Teaming?"

Popovich joked: "It's impossible, it's impossible, I've never used it, that's super giant treatment, that kid is not qualified, it's just players accidentally getting together.

'Kawaii' As long as we ensure that our strength is brought into play, we will first limit that guy, and we don't need to double-team at all. "

The reporters have known about Popovich's shamelessness for a long time, but they did not expect that Popovich would be so "shameless!"

When he returned to the locker room, Popovich said fiercely to everyone.

"In the second half, double-team No. 13 for me, and don't let him score again."
