My basketball vision is different
Chapter 162 Slaughtering Warriors
The opening ceremony at Oracle Arena was as usual. If it weren't for the singing of the national anthem, which was mainly performed by children, the national anthem, which spans 12 notes, would have been a car accident.
Even if Whitney Houston also lip-synced at the Super Bowl, the risk of overturning in a beautiful live performance of the national anthem is too great.
Last year, Christina Aguila wanted to make a big move and wanted to sing the national anthem a cappella at the Super Bowl. What was the result?
It was definitely the scene of a car accident.
The rhythm was messed up, and the words were sung wrong. It was like a "Three No Touches" shot on the court!
Shocking!
The people of the beautiful country sometimes envy neighboring Canada. Why can't they choose a national anthem that is easy to sing like the Maple Leaf Country?
Therefore, one of the most annoying aspects for NBA players is singing the national anthem. I don’t know who would choose such a difficult song as the national anthem.
Based on Lin Shaojie's knowledge of the players he has come into contact with, if there is no teleprompter and a large screen that scrolls the lyrics, 90% of the US professional basketball players will sing the wrong lyrics.
It is conceivable that before every game, the players of the beautiful country have to struggle between the sense of national honor and the desire to survive.
Lin Shaojie, who maintained his "respect", came on the court after the warm-up.
The Pacers are an unbeatable starting five. In addition to Lin Shaojie, they also have George Hill, Paul George, David West and Roy Hibbert.
On the Warriors' side, since Bogut sat off the court, Festus Ezeli started.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson lead the back line, which is a young and immature but full of potential guard duo.
David Lee formed the front line with Harrison Barnes and Ezeli.
This time, Hibbert did not miss the jump ball and successfully defeated his opponent.
As soon as Lin Shaojie got the ball, he didn't expect Klay Thompson on the opposite side to react very quickly and block his way with both hands.
Obviously, the Warriors have studied themselves and are afraid that their attack speed will be too fast and they will complete the attack.
Perhaps only teams that have experienced running and gunning know how amazing Lin Shaojie's fast break speed is.
Before the game, Mark Jackson told the players that even if Lin Shaojie didn't shoot from outside the three-point line, few people in the entire league could catch up with him just for layups.
So what Klay Thompson did was very correct.
But Lin Shaojie pretended to break through to the left. While moving his feet, Thompson was forced to move to his right. However, Lin Shaojie's feet were on the ground after a false shot, but his whole body broke through from the right side.
There is no obvious change of direction in the entire attack, but it just shakes the opponent away in one step.
Thompson seemed to have no defense at all. Except for his outstretched arms, he was stunned and wanted to turn around, but Thompson knew very well that he couldn't do it.
“What a strange feeling!”
As a client, Thompson found it difficult to describe, as if the instructions sent to him in his mind could not match his body.
Lin Shaojie, who had a slightly weird attack, passed Thompson in one step without even making a superfluous move.
By this time his speed had picked up.
The Pacers all rushed forward, and the Warriors players retreated quickly.
Barnes behind Thompson quickly stepped forward to cover, but he hesitated because he was still some distance away from Lin Shaojie. If he got too close, it would be easy for him to break through with the opponent's speed, which would open the door wide for him.
The inside line was exposed to Lin Shaojie's gun.
Barnes, who wanted to take two steps forward to guard against breakthroughs but not shots, never thought that Lin Shaojie, who dribbled the ball past half court, would be so bold.
When Hibbert, David West, David Lee, and Festus Izeli were struggling, the Pacers No. 13 player who scored 30 points in the first quarter against the Kings started the game.
Just send out instant transmission.
The unmarked Paul George went straight inside, and the Pacers players all had this awareness.
Run, keep running, as long as you run out of position, Lynn's pass will be delivered to your head. Except for Hibbert, who has to stay on the inside, David West is indeed a bit old, and other young players want to
To score, you have to keep moving.
Although this is not what some people are used to, Lynn has the ability to solve the battle on his own. If you want to score points on the court, I'm sorry, you just have to run.
Whether you are helping with pick-and-rolls, containing opponents, or scoring goals yourself, you must use quick and concise steps to tell your teammates that you can do it.
This is why Frank particularly emphasizes that the back line's ball delivery must be fast, consistent, and stable. After all, Frank is not very good at offensive sorting, so he needs a player on the court who can understand his intentions.
The emergence of Lin Shaojie not only made up for the Pacers' perimeter defense loopholes, but also reorganized the team's offense.
Sometimes Lin Shaojie even participates in team training as the team's third coach. At the tactical execution level, his mind is clearer than assistant coach Brian Shaw.
At this time, Lin Shaojie looked at George Hill on the other side.
The latter was being closely guarded by Stephen Curry, and the two kept moving sideways.
Barnes, who noticed all this from the corner of his eye, had to lean towards George Hill, but it was a pity.
The ball was clearly heading in the direction of George Hill. At that moment, Barnes turned his head and didn't see the basketball.
When throwing the basketball, Lin Shaojie flicked his wrist at the last moment and threw the basketball to the other side.
Paul George stepped into the right side of the free throw line and was already in the air. After receiving the pass from Lin Shaojie, he pressed down on a player who was not sure whether he was a teammate or an opponent and dunked hard.
"Clang!"
"Whoosh!"
Hibbert and Festus were both ridden by Paul George.
"Brother, you passed!"
George fell from the basket and was hit hard on the chest by Hibbert. The former pointed at Lin Shaojie and shouted.
"Lynn, I want more!"
"As long as you run in place, I'll satisfy you!"
Lin Shaojie smiled. Barnes, who was standing in front of him, smiled obviously, but his smile gave him a sense of caution.
"Is there something evil about this kid?"
Barnes looked at Lin Shaojie opposite him as if he noticed something.
"Hello Barnes, I'm Lynn, we are both rookies this year, nice to meet you."
"I'm not happy at all!"
Harrison Barnes said with a sad face.
The pick of Barnes, who was also a rookie in 2012, was not bad. He was picked seventh in the first round. Not only did the Warriors take him, they also took another forward player, Draymond, with the fifth pick in the second round.
.Green.
The order determines the status of both sides on the team. Barnes starts every game and averages more than 20 minutes of playing time per game, allowing him to average nearly 10 points per game.
Comparing Green from a horizontal perspective, not to mention all the substitutes so far, his playing time is only half of his.
In terms of rookie statistics, Barnes is absolutely qualified, but when standing in front of him is Lynn, the "relict jewel" of this draft, Barnes doesn't want to speak.
Lin Shaojie, who won the No. 3 overall pick, was called the "Legacy Pearl!" because too many fans and experts said that so far in this draft, no rookie player can compete with Linn.
Regardless of whether you are the No. 1 pick or No. 3 overall pick, if the time goes back to June, then no matter who wins the No. 1 pick, they will choose Lynn at the first opportunity. There is no doubt about this.
Playing like this as a defender, such an all-around performance.
You can use it right away, and it’s very fun to use. What coach doesn’t want a player like this? Maybe Larry Bird has been a team manager and president for so many years, but he has never been as happy as this year!
Lin Shaojie's existence has become a phenomenon, and he personally has long been a shadow over the 12th rookie class. When any rookie faces this big boss of the same class, his heart feels like a grocery store has been knocked over, and there are mixed feelings.
When it comes to asking the head coach for a job, everyone knows that Barnes wants to discuss the pros and cons.
In the first round, Barnes experienced the opponent's pass, which was very impressive.
Jerry West, who was watching the game from the sidelines, did not comment on the first goal. The twinkling in his eyes showed that he was not so calm in his heart.
I don’t know how many people have studied this lineup of the Pacers. Any team that competes with them should pay more attention to it.
This is an essential professional quality for a coach and even a player.
But how to break the game and how to break it is not a simple matter for most people now, whether they are players or the uniform staff.
As the actual controller on the court for the Pacers, everything Lynn showed was completely different from that of a rookie. He was like an old fox who had been on the court for many years, an old basketball hooligan. This kind of talk is so bad that you won’t experience it once.
No one knows how "demon" the other party's performance is!
Just like this simple pass, apart from the tacit understanding between teammates, the timing of the pass and the force of the pass, which newcomer would dare to pass the ball so boldly.
Chris Paul didn't dare to do this in his rookie season!
But that's how Lin Shaojie played. Not only did he play like this, he also played very well.
Klay Thompson's movements that I have seen before are simple to the extreme, a combination of speed and skill. When facing Barnes, he can defeat the opponent without fear of his opponent.
The suddenness of the pass and the sensitivity of the fingers are indispensable for this ball, otherwise the pass of ordinary players on the court will be easily intercepted by professional players.
You know, it is not easy for a player to complete a successful pass on the NBA court, which indicates an assist.
There's not just one defender waiting for you on the court, there's also defenders marking your teammates.
So the first reaction when a weak team encounters a strong team is, why is it so difficult to pass the ball when there are people everywhere.
The team's defensive tactics are sometimes more effective than their offensive tactics. The reason is that when a player's personal defensive ability cannot keep up, he can rely on the abilities of his teammates.
There are very few players in the NBA who are not good at offense. It is simply because players who are not good at offense either have problems with their personal positioning, or they are not primarily offensive players.
If you are positioned as an offensive player but you cannot score, then sorry, the team will eliminate you immediately.
A good offensive player is one who can use it as soon as he gets it. When most people can't do it, they should assist and defend first. After all, there is only one basketball. Who should give it to?
A player as strong as Tracy McGrady also started out on defense, and only began to show his talent when he got the ball.
Capitalists have tens or millions of dollars to spend, and you are not here to provide pensions. You must show your value.
Therefore, it is most realistic that most players (non-defensive players) are stronger at offense than defense before entering the league. After all, this is not only what attracts fans and even scouts.
It will take several seasons for these players who lack defense to develop their defense and reach above the passing line.
For someone like Klay Thompson to be able to reach an average defensive level in just one rookie season, he is definitely considered a gifted player.
Just like just now, I knew how to block the opponent's arrow character for the first time. Even if I failed, it was only a matter of ability, not attitude.
There are too many talented players in the NBA, but none of them are mentally focused.
Jerry West has seen too many players like this, and he saw enough during the Lakers days, so he really doesn't like the kind of players who lack strings on the court and often drop calls.
If the Warriors had such a player, they would find a way to trade him out. After all, no matter how good he is, if his talent cannot be used, there will be a big loophole at critical moments.
When the Warriors attacked, Lin Shaojie discovered that Stephen Curry on the opposite side was not as weak as he thought. At least he performed well in George Hill's defense and was not the kind of weakling who would fall down at the first touch.
Players who can average more than fifteen points per game in the NBA should not be underestimated.
And there is this inexplicable match between him and Klay Thompson. The two are obviously far apart, but Curry broke through George Hill's defense and gained space, and instantly moved the ball in a wide range.
Lin Shaojie was originally going to make up for Hill's leak, but he didn't expect that as soon as Paul George relaxed, Thompson, who received the ball from the opposite side, immediately hit a long shot.
At that time, Paul George was just getting started.
Seeing Curry, who looked immature among black people and looked like a primary school student, running over to Thompson and embracing him passionately, Lin Shaojie looked at him a few more times.
His passing is plain and unpretentious, not as fancy as his own, but his fancy passing is actually mediocre.
"Paul!"
Paul George rushed over after hearing this.
"Your problem!"
"Yes, my, I didn't expect his shooting speed to be so fast."
"Wait a minute to prevent the shot from breaking out, and stick close to him. That kid's shooting speed is a bit fast."
"Um!"
Lin Shaojie patted Paul on the back, and the basketball fell on Lin Shaojie's hand.
"You and Paul will try outside shooting later and see how your hands are."
Lin Shaojie's words made George Hill nodded.
This time in the Pacers' offense, the Warriors didn't dare to miss anyone, and caught Paul George early.
However, it is obvious that Lin Shaojie broke through and scored the ball equally quickly. When he broke into the three-point line and attracted two Warriors players, Lin Shaojie also moved the ball in a wide range and fell into the hands of George Hill.
The latter faced an empty defense and hit two points cleanly.
When the Warriors attacked, this time George Hill was very close to him. He also defended the shot but not the breakout. When he saw that the help defender not far behind him was the Pacers' No. 13, Curry did not consider breaking through again.
.
Thompson has been tightly guarded by Paul George, and Curry can only pass to David Lee on the front line.
Lin Shaojie, who was standing by, seemed to have predicted this. Although he was half sideways, he suddenly moved sideways and almost cut off Curry's pass.
David Lee, who was trying to catch the ball, only touched the air.
Curry made a mistake!
Although there is a vague feeling like this, after all, Lin Shaojie has "never missed anything" so far. It has become a scene this season to have statistics in every game, but Curry still felt very unhappy when the first steal happened to him.
It can only be said that he hates talent monsters. He feels that his passing is fine, but the opponent's arms are too long, otherwise normal people would not be able to steal it.
The basketball that completed the steal fell into the hands of Paul George. He quickly passed it back to Lin Shaojie. The Pacers, who missed the best fast break opportunity, played steadily and advanced slowly.
Facing Lin Shaojie again, Thompson was cautious.
"Are you going to do it yourself or pass the ball?"
Facing the solemn-looking Thompson, Lin Shaojie made a simple behind-the-back dribble.
"This is a move that Steph (Curry) often uses, right?"
Seeing the opponent's skillful dribbling skills, Thompson didn't dare to speak for fear of being fooled.
Although the Pacers' No. 13 is a rookie, he has a very poisonous mouth and can easily make his opponents excited and angry, causing him to lose control of his emotions.
"Have you ever practiced quick shooting? Except for Jr (Smith), this is the first time I have seen a player who shoots so fast. Your shooting posture just now was very standard and very fast. Stephen (Curry) is also like you.
What?"
Thompson continued to remain silent. He always felt that the other party was causing trouble.
"I defeated the Knicks last time. Jr.'s physical talent is better than yours, but he still lost to us."
Thompson finally raised his head and looked at the rookie who was dribbling slowly on the opposite side. Are all rookies these days so awesome? Why do all the players in his team look so honest and even help carry bags?
When Lin Shaojie's slow behind-the-back dribbling began to accelerate, Thompson knew that the player he faced was preparing to break through him instead of facing him for a jumper.
I can’t say why I feel this way, maybe it’s from the look in the other person’s eyes behind the mask.
Exactly the same as the first breakthrough, Lin Shaojie once again attempted to break to the left. Thompson's strong psychological suggestion was that he could not deviate to prevent his opponent from changing direction.
But Thompson, who stood still, discovered that Lin Shaojie had actually made a breakthrough on his right side.
It was as if he knew he hadn't moved his center of gravity.
"Fuck me!"
Thompson secretly cursed himself. Lin Shaojie, who had already passed Thompson, was like breaking through a wooden stake. Thompson's defense had no effect at all.
Not far away, Barnes immediately helped to defend, but when Lin Shaojie relied on him to complete the turn and pass, Barnes only felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and the person who wanted to defend disappeared.
"So fast!"
"So fast!"
"So fast!"
The first sound was made by Barnes, the second sound was made by Thompson who turned around, and the third sound was made by Jerry West who was sitting off the court.
Lin Shaojie broke through Barnes and went straight into the paint. The players on the front line looked at Lin Shaojie's menacing approach. The Warriors players were already prepared for the big block.
But Lin Shaojie, who broke through at high speed, was unmoved. With a flick of his hand, he completed the pass in an instant.
Paul George, who was standing on one side, caught the ball.
Paul George, who was unguarded, made a successful shot.
"Clang!"
It's a pity that his accuracy is not very high.
"Rebound!"
David Lee was interfered by David West and had no way to grab the board.
Festus on the side quickly stretched out his hand to grab the ball, but Hibbert was already entangled with him.
"Get out of the way!"
Hearing the familiar figure, Hibbert, who hadn't even seen the figure, subconsciously shrank his head.
The figure of Pacers No. 13 was originally stationary. After Paul George completed the shot, he suddenly jumped from outside the free throw line. It was like a high-speed sports car crossing a mountain stream and facing the three-second zone filled with people.
Lin Shaojie had nothing but the basket in his sight at this time.
Complete the action of catching the ball in the air with one hand, and push down the arm of David Lee with the other hand.
The body full of kinetic energy was fearless. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, Lin Shaojie seemed to have murderous intent all over his body and rushed forward, covering the sky and the sun.
David Lee only felt his eyes darkening, and the Pacers' dark away jersey completely blocked his sight.
The right hand holding the ball was steady, the arm was hanging at the side of the ear, and the orange-red basket in front of him was very close. At the last moment, without any hesitation, Lin Shaojie swung the ball down hard.
"Clang!"
The entire basket was pressed down like a spring. Lin Shaojie's entire body crushed David Lee. If there weren't so many people under the basket, he would have been knocked out. Even so, including the Pacers players
Everyone inside was staggered by Lin Shaojie's dunk.
The basket was also shaken a little by this force.
There were radios and cameras placed on it, which completely transmitted the heavy dunk to the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene.
Lin Shaojie fell from the basket and looked down at the players on both sides.
"It was just a little bit close, and you were just a little bit close to being able to guard against me."
Lin Shaojie shrugged, looked at the basketball still on the ground, turned and walked towards his own half.
David West and Roy Hibbert silently "supported each other" and followed behind them. After the Pacers' fate changed, this brutal and boss became so ruthless that he even dunked one of his own. I had never seen him so ruthless.
of.
David Lee knew that he had taken a small advantage, which should have been 21, but the referee gave him face and did not brag about it.
Then I touched my hands and chest, and it hurt a little. That guy was so strong!
Curry and Thompson on the perimeter looked at each other.
"Is this the animal you were defending just now?"
"It's the animal I was guarding, but I couldn't guard it. Why don't you try?"
"Forget it, I still want to live a few more years. Are you sure this is this year's rookie?"
"It's not that I'm sure, but all of us are sure. Don't you know that animals can't be compared with people. I heard that he weighs about the same as you. Do you think that's the case?"
"Go away, if he is like me, I dunk every day, who would want to shoot if I can dunk? If I don't have such a bad bounce, I can concentrate on shooting? Don't you think so?"
"It seems so!"
Off the court, Jerry West felt that his saliva was a little intense.
He knows how high his requirements for players' talents are, just like when he named Kobe Bryant.
He admires players who are extremely talented, very demanding, and have good offensive and defensive abilities.
If calculated by this standard, Stephen Curry, the team's best scorer at the moment, does not count, but West believes that Curry will take the step he expects.
But even without defense, Curry, who can achieve the ultimate in offense, is in line with West's perception of talented players.
Curry, who averaged more than 17 points per game in his rookie season and was unanimously elected to the first team, not only became the first triple-double player in the 2009 class, but also became the sixth player in the history of the NBA to score a triple-double in his rookie season.
The 301,010 super rookie almost achieved a quasi-quadruple-double in one game, which is also surprising!
That is the Warriors in the run-and-gun era, Curry in the run-and-gun era.
The next year in the All-Star Skills Challenge, Curry defeated Russell Westbrook to win the championship. How could such a player not become West's favorite!
In West's plan, Curry's potential has not been fully explored. His offense, passing, and defense all need to be improved, and there is still plenty of room for improvement.
But when West sees the Pacers No. 13 in front of him, does his potential still need to be tapped?
Isn't this equivalent to an oil-poor area compared with the Middle East?
When someone puts a shovel into their backyard, oil will leak out. The quality of the oil is terrible;
You dig the ground three feet, thirty feet, three hundred, three thousand feet, and then some oil filled with impurities comes out dripping out. What does this mean?
What kind of talent is visible to the naked eye? This is just talent that is overflowing and can be observed casually.
The previous behind-the-back dribbling was smooth on the court, and was more skillful than Curry's behind-the-back dribbling.
Lin Shaojie, who was retreating, seemed to be exuding a sense of momentum. Barnes, who was blocking his way, subconsciously gave way.
"Come on, buddy, you almost guarded me just now."
(⊙?⊙)
Although Lin Shaojie's tone was encouraging, the feeling of an old football ruffian talking to a rookie...Barnes felt like he couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Bear it, you have to hold it!"
"Harrison, what did he just say to you?"
Thompson kindly said to Barnes.
"nothing!"
Although Thompson could feel that Barnes' mentality was not good, he could only adjust it by himself. After patting his teammate on the back, Thompson ran towards Curry.
The Pacers' defense is very strong, and he needs to help his teammates.
Curry, who was holding the ball, avoided George Hill's defense, but the latter never stopped pestering him, which forced Curry to devote more energy to his opponent.
Everyone is saying that the Pacers' George Hill is a big sieve, but Curry thinks that is not the case. His defensive weakness is only relatively speaking. When facing himself, Hill's defense is definitely in place.
Hill strictly followed Lin Shaojie's instructions, which was to prevent shots and not breakouts, because he knew that even if Curry got rid of him, he would not easily step into the paint.
So Hill just kept up with Curry.
Thompson wanted to get rid of Paul George, but found it very difficult. The opponent's dynamic talent was too good, and he was only the tenth overall pick in the 2010 draft.
Thinking back to the fact that Aipaiyudu, who was selected by the team with the sixth pick, was not regarded as an addition to the Bucks this year!
That’s still the sixth overall pick!
From this point of view, there seems to be no player better than him among the 10-year rookies. As for Cousins, he is a brainless player at first glance.
Unable to escape Paul George's defense, Thompson was unable to connect with Curry on the outside.
As for Barnes, even after finally running out of the open space, Curry didn't dare to pass the ball. Lin Shaojie was staring at him one step away. Who dared!
Not only that, he also seemingly cut off the possibility of the Warriors' internal and external connections, coupled with the inside pressure of Hibbert and David West.
The Warriors have absolutely no advantage in the paint.
Although George Hill tried his best, when Curry got rid of him again, he discovered that the opponent's shooting speed was actually faster than Thompson. He felt that the basketball was flying as soon as he started to step up and before his arms were fully raised.
Got out.
If Curry is only empty-handed and can only shoot the ball quickly, but when the ball smoothly enters the frame, George Hill knows that he has become a big funnel again, and the opponent is far more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
"So fast!"
"So fast!"
"So fast!"
With the same three adjectives, except for Hill, Lin Shaojie and Paul George looked at each other.
"Can you?"
"It's a bit dangerous. This guy's rate of fire is quite sudden."
"Try again, if it doesn't work I'll do it!"
"good!"
Curry's outside three-pointer allowed the Warriors to keep up with the Pacers.
Gu Piao
In the next few rounds, the Warriors' outside performance was far better than that of the Pacers.
The main reason is that Paul George seemed to have used up all his luck in the opening game. After receiving a pass from Lin Shaojie, his long-range shots were never effective.
After making zero out of four shots, the Warriors ignored him and focused more on Lin Shaojie.
Facing a double team, Lin Shaojie seemed to suddenly fall into a quagmire because his passing was ineffective.
Although Thompson and Barnes spared no effort to pursue and intercept Lin Shaojie's pass, Paul George felt cold in his hand, which reassured everyone.
George Hill was also intercepted by Curry during the offense, which was obviously a back-to-back sequelae.
By the time the main players left the field in the first quarter, the Pacers were actually 5 points behind 15-20 in the away game.
The more powerful Pacers were the one lagging behind. Regardless of rebounds or dunks, the Pacers were far ahead, but the result was a bit ridiculing.
Lin Shaojie grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in the first quarter alone, creating a second offensive opportunity for his teammates.
The paint area was full of muscular players, and Lin Shaojie also lacked opportunities for second takeoff dunks.
When Hill and George on the outside can't make shots, the pressure is entirely on the Pacers.
"Sorry, it's my responsibility!"
After leaving the game, Paul George, who made 1 of 6 shots in total, scored 2 points. Except for the 2 points in the opening game, Paul George himself was a little depressed.
Hill himself didn't expect that the "elementary school boy" opposite looked very skinny and couldn't jump high, but he was quite ruthless.
He scored a lot of points.
"You see, although our players don't have the advantage on the court, they are very capable."
Jerry West explained to Su Zhen beside him.
"Looking at the game just now, Lynn's performance was very good, but unfortunately, his teammates were not as good as expected. Paul George, who has the most potential, is still very immature and his performance is not stable;
George Hill's talent determines that this is his upper limit. They are now at a critical moment and cannot help Lynn;
Roy Hibbert is a good prospect, but his mentality is fragile and child-like;
David West is a good player, but he is older and suffers a lot in back-to-back games. Age is his biggest problem..."
"It was less than a quarter of the game, and he was very smart."
Su Zhen watched Lin Shaojie communicating with his teammates. At this time, the Pacers obviously encountered some problems, but Lin Shaojie did not have any depression on his face. Paul George also smiled under his comfort.
West looked at the woman from the East next to him strangely.
"Sir, he is smarter than you think. I have never seen anyone smarter than him. Although IQ is not equal to football quotient, I think after playing for such a long time, no one denies this. Lynn is
A player who can play with his brain, I think he will find a way soon."
"I also believe this, so I really want to achieve a deeper friendship with him."
West said kindly: "The Pacers need to adjust, but how to adjust, I really want to see this."
Not far away, Lin Shaojie patted Paul George.
"It seems that your touch is not good today. Don't shoot from long range. If you have a chance, you should rush in, break through and distribute the ball to David (Hibbert) and Roy (Hibbert)."
"George (Hill), wait a minute, you will control the ball. I will play without the ball. When we are defending, we will change positions. I will try that elementary school student."
"ok!"
"When passing the ball, don't try to be fast, but be steady. I will pick you up and give you a pick-and-roll. If you have the chance, try to shoot from the outside. Roy and I will grab the board. As long as you miss the shot, the Warriors will
Lost."
When he said this, Lin Shaojie looked at the "primary school student" opposite him. The other party also looked at him, and the two of them waved in a friendly manner.
Lin Shaojie, who was sitting off the court, watched the rookies on the bench pecking each other.
But after a while, Lin Shaojie frowned a little, and so did the head coach Frank beside him.
No one thought that there would be bench gangsters on the Warriors' bench.
This year's second-round pick, Draymond Green, actually performed better than Harrison Barnes, although his offense was almost zero and he only scored by grabbing a lucky offensive rebound.
Two points, but dare to fight and fight without fear of the opponent.
Ian Mahinmi is nearly seven feet tall, and that guy dares to rush into the paint to grab the board. His life-threatening energy is a bit silly, but he is really fierce.
Coupled with Bogut's rampage in the paint, the Pacers' originally well-organized play was completely shattered by the impact of these two guys.
From the data, you can't tell Green's role, but the players and coaches on the scene discovered that the kid still has potential.
As for the other Carl Landry and Jarrett Jack, these two are the core of the Warriors' substitute offense.
The former can be considered an old acquaintance. After all, he came from the Rockets and still has some strength.
The latter spent one year with the Pacers four years ago, averaging 13 points per game. His current performance on the court is as good as Landry's.
The two of them, plus Green's desperate opponent, beat the Pacers to a complete defeat.
Frank, as he is running for the best coach, of course cannot lose his confidence. In traditional times, he would let the substitutes play and let the main players sit off the court and rest.
In fact, Lin Shaojie also knows that after all, back-to-back games for the Pacers who have been out for more than a week, although their physical fitness has not bottomed out, it is obviously unrealistic to perform 100%.
Paul George is a living example. Except for that dunk, he didn't make any long-range shots. In the final analysis, he was tired and his hands were soft.
"Lynn, if you don't come up, you're going to get out."
Bogut, who pushed past Marcin to get the rebound and assisted his teammates to complete the score, said arrogantly to the Pacers bench.
"Put on your damn mask and protect your poor face!"
"Don't provoke your opponent!"
The referee said sternly.
Lin Shaojie looked at the time off the court. Although it was still a while before the main players came on stage, it seemed that some people could no longer hold it in any longer.
"As you wish!"
Lin Shaojie stood up and picked up the mask. Frank looked at Bogut with a pale face.
"You shouldn't provoke him!"
Mark Jackson, who called a timeout and was about to replace the main team again, said to Bogut.
"I'm confident, coach!"
Looking at the score on the court, it was 52 to 36.
Most of the 16-point gap was caused by the substitutes on both sides. Bogut still had some confidence when he said this.
"Okay, you continue on the court, Festus will not play."
"Sorry, boss!"
Maxin and Lance, who came off the field on the other side, both looked lonely. Their performance made Lin Shaojie a little embarrassed and even caused his opponent to provoke him.
"You're doing okay!"
Lin Shaojie patted the substitutes: "The game is not over yet!"
Before the game, Lin Shaojie, who was wearing a mask, turned to Su Zhen and said.
"We will definitely win!"
"I trust you!"
Lin Shaojie waved, came on the stage with a relaxed attitude, and said hello to Jerry West on the side.
"He has a very relaxed attitude!"
West praised.
In his mind, if as the core of the team, he blames his teammates and blames others when something happens, then such a player will not get the respect of others no matter how strong he is.
Although Lin Shaojie didn't express anything, he just patted his teammates and encouraged them with his eyes and words. These seemingly simple actions still showed his attitude.
We share the blessings and suffer the hardships together.
Faced with Bogut's provocation, Lin Shaojie obviously wanted to solve the problem on the court instead of relying on roars and fists.
Compassion does not control soldiers, but cruelty and ruthlessness have their own time.
This is a back-to-back competition. Don't expect everyone to be the same as you. Some people are used to earning tens of millions of dollars and letting someone with tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars do the same job as themselves.
Is this realistic?
After Lin Shaojie comforted the substitute, he put on his mask and walked onto the field with a smile.
Not far away, Curry and Thompson also stood up and appeared. The Warriors' double backcourt performance was pretty good. Curry's 9 points and Thompson's 11 points were all guarantees for the Warriors to take the lead.
But the biggest surprise comes from the substitutes. They are great, which greatly relieves the pressure on the main force. Except for Bogut provoking the opponent, but... it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
"Stephen, you played very well!"
"Thank you, but we can't let you take the victory away from Oakland."
Curry responded to Lin Shaojie, and Thompson on the side also encouraged himself: "Yes, we will definitely win. I have already started thinking about the next opponent."
"Really?"
Lin Shaojie patted Thompson gently: "Actually, my three-point shooting is also very good!"
After saying that, Lin Shaojie waved his hand and walked towards his teammates coolly.
"You seem to be provoking him with your words?"
"No, our score difference has reached 16 points, we are not stupid!"
"I hope so! I don't think Linn is easy to mess with."
"The competition has begun, don't make others more powerful!"
The lineups of both sides were almost the same as at the start, except that the opponent's Bogut replaced Festus.
George Hill, who was attacking with the ball, passed halftime easily, and Curry quickly kept up with the defense.
Lin Shaojie ran without the ball, Thompson and Barnes were chasing after him, and Paul George was unguarded.
But it was obvious that Paul, who was near the perimeter, did not receive the pass and instead stepped out to pick and roll.
After being blocked for a while, Barnes lost track of Lin Shaojie, and George Hill quickly passed the ball.
Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball from the outside, turned around to face Thompson, who was catching up in a hurry, and stood still without moving.
"I'll shoot right here!"
After Lin Shaojie finished speaking, he jumped up on the spot and stretched out his arms to block the shot. Thompson found that his opponent not only gave him a hint, but also gave him enough time to defend.
However, the opponent's shooting method was a standard two-stage shot. The height of the shot after taking off made the ball release point very high. The shooting method with an exaggerated fallback was simply not something Thompson could block.
By coincidence, Lin Shaojie, who had completed the shot, embraced Thompson's hand. Thompson, who was still in his "immature" stage, had to swallow this bitter pill.
"Shh!"
"Whoosh!"
As the referee's whistle sounds, the sound of the basketball hitting the frame is extremely smooth.
"Your strength is too weak. If you are stronger and jump higher, you can guard against me."
Thompson watched helplessly as the opponent stepped to the free throw line and made a perfect four-pointer to narrow the gap between the two sides to 12 points.
The Warriors served and Curry, who reorganized the offense, turned around and faced no longer George Hill, but the Pacers' number one devil, Lin Shaojie.
"You have no choice but to pass the ball!"
Lin Shaojie reminded.
Curry found that he had problems with his dribbling when facing Lin Shaojie. His dynamic talent was inferior, so he relied entirely on skills to make up for the gap. However, these skills made him look a bit messy in the face of absolute strength.
In a hurry, he lost the ball before halftime.
Lin Shaojie completed a fierce steal and threw himself out. He almost lay flat on his side during the steal with an indomitable momentum. At the last moment, he put his hands on the ground to allow Lin Shaojie to stabilize his body.
When the seemingly staggering figure did not stop at all, all the Warriors who hurriedly retreated could only watch the figure getting farther and farther into the paint, stepping on the free throw line and leaping into the air.
"No way..."
The host on the commentary desk opened his mouth wide.
Lin Shaojie, who held the ball and stretched his entire body into a reverse "C", for the second time on the NBA court, actually... took off from the free throw line and dunked.
"This is a back-to-back and they haven't played a home game in over a week."
"Is this the power of love?"
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
The basket deformed under Lin Shaojie's hands once again, and the rebound force caused the entire backboard to shake and the camera to vibrate.
This powerful dunk was eye-catching both visually and from the sound effects in the radio.
Jerry West, who was a bit old-fashioned, wanted to stand up a little bit, but finally sat back down.
He seemed to have a feeling that the Warriors were in big trouble.
The Pacers players hugged Lin Shaojie like crazy, touched each other's hair, and played with each other.
Although there were only two points, morale was lifted under such circumstances.
The score difference that was once in danger and even out of reach suddenly reached 10 points.
There are still more than two quarters left in the game.
"Are you sure you want to consider your next opponent?"
Lin Shaojie said flatly to Thompson who was walking towards him: "This is not a very good meaning."
With that said, Lin Shaojie walked towards his own half. Thompson, who was unguarded, glanced at the opponent's back, and then subconsciously asked for the ball.
He is also young and he also wants to hit a responsive ball.
But Lin Shaojie, who should obviously have walked away, appeared next to Thompson the moment he caught the ball.
Everyone saw Lin Shaojie, who was "pacing slowly" towards Curry some distance away, as if he had eyes on his back. The basketball Bogut sent from the baseline just fell into Thompson's hands.
Lin Shaojie turned around and finished his sprint and cut the basketball in the opponent's hand with one palm.
"Bang!"
It was so cruel that Thompson didn't even have room to resist, and the basketball was taken away.
Although the coach said beforehand that Lin Shaojie likes to do such disgusting things, you can't understand how disgusting it is unless you are the person involved.
In a hurry, Thompsonson was too late to counterattack, and Curry hurriedly ran over.
After completing the steal, Lin Shaojie slipped outside the baseline three-point line. Facing Bogut's charging figure, Lin Shaojie could have avoided it at that time, but Lin Shaojie still faced the opponent and shot.
This time, Lin Shaojie did not use a two-stage jump shot, but a one-stage jump shot. The jump from take-off to shot was completed almost simultaneously, which was incredibly fast.
As soon as Bogut fell on Lin Shaojie, the basketball was already out of Lin Shaojie's hands.
When the whistle sounded, it was accompanied by a "swish!"
Lin Shaojie completed four points for the second time in a short period of time.
This time, Bogut got a foul.
"Fuck, you liar!"
Bogut, who staggered to his feet, spat at Lin Shaojie, who was knocked to the ground.
"Shut your mouth, if you don't want to have to eat only liquids!"
After getting up, Lin Shaojie, who was nearly a head shorter than the other person, stood in front of Bogut and said.
"Really, am I afraid? Come on, you weakling who can only shoot three-pointers from the outside."
"What do you want to do? Do you want to fight?"
Hibbert rushed over with great momentum, but was stopped by Lin Shaojie.
The referee squeezed into the group of "giants" and quickly separated the players on both sides.
From the court to the bench, there was a moment of anxiety.
The referee gave both parties a "technical foul". Lin Shaojie did not take action. Instead, Hibbert, who received a "t", expressed his stance in front of Lin Shaojie as if he had received a medal.
"If he were off the court, I would beat him until he was full of teeth!"
"That's a very good idea. When I hold the ball later, you get out of the way. Do you understand?"
"......I see!"
Hibbert knew that the guy from Kangaroo Country was probably in trouble.
When retreating, Lin Shaojie said to Thompson: "You should be able to relax for a while. I not only have three-pointers, because my dunks are also very good!"
"It's so easy."
After catching the turnover, Thompson complained in his heart: Besides, what does your dunking ability have to do with me? Tell Curry this, he also likes to dunk... and likes to watch other people dunk.
This time the Warriors were very careful in serving and advancing, and Lin Shaojie did not show any more extreme behavior. However, after halftime, Curry began to understand how the previous point guard felt when facing Lin Shaojie.
He would rather move normally without the ball than face such a torturous opponent. You have to dribble wholeheartedly and don't dare to be careless. Every step is like stepping on a landmine and feels like it may explode at any time.
"Don't be nervous, do you want to shoot?"
Lin Shaojie tempted: "Believe me, if you shoot in front of me..."
Curry is really good. Before Lin Shaojie finished speaking, he stood up and shot a jump shot. He went all out and was really fast. It was almost the same as Lin Shaojie's previous one-step jump shot. When he took off, the basketball in his hand was released. It took less than 0.4 seconds.
.
Ordinary defensive players have no time at all, but...
Lin Shaojie is far more powerful than expected. When Curry shot, he actually took off simultaneously. Even when his toes were off the ground, Lin Shaojie's entire soles were already off the ground.
Lin Shaojie raised his big hand and "plucked" Curry's shot in mid-air.
The panicked Curry wanted to counterattack, but Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball, just stood there and grabbed the ball behind his back with one hand. No matter how Curry stretched out his hand, he couldn't reach it.
"I said, if you shoot in front of me, you won't score a point. All that's left for you is passing. Why didn't you wait for me to finish what I said?"
Lin Shaojie, who was passing the ball, deceived Curry's defense and advanced quickly.
After Curry made a mistake, the entire Warriors retreated.
Lin Shaojie, who seemed to have forgotten to pass the ball, went straight inside, and Thompson in front of him was bypassed by one step;
Barnes didn't dare to stretch out his hand and could only follow closely from the flank, but the power gap was too big. His whole body seemed to be hanging on Lin Shaojie. It wasn't until Bogut came to help defend that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Shaojie, who entered the paint, turned around and leaned against Bogut, who was even bigger, and started to play post-up singles with the ball.
While Barnes was guarding the other Pacers players, he looked at such a thin guy like Lin Shaojie, as if he was being wrapped up by Bogut and being "humiliated" under him.
The cruel picture that I imagined did not appear, but was shocking and eye-catching.
When facing Bogut, Lin Shaojie, who was at the maximum level of anger, used solid steps and hit the white bear behind him with his back again and again.
Bogut had an ankle injury and his lower plate was unstable, so Lin Shaojie pushed him step by step under the backboard.
"Is this guy tough?"
When Bogut's strength could not sink to his feet and he could not "take root", in the eyes of fans, he was pushed to the basket by Lin Shaojie like he was playing a train pushing game.
Bogut felt that his strength was greatly exhausted, and he felt like stars were flying in front of his eyes. He knew that he couldn't bear it any longer.
Instinctively, he still stretched out his hand to stop it.
When Lin Shaojie used a move similar to that of a center, he pushed away the defender under the basket and jumped to dunk to end the offense.
Oracle Arena was in uproar.
Lin Shaojie, who scored two points and received an extra penalty again, looked at Bogut who had not recovered yet, raised his index finger and said.
"one!"
Everyone doesn't quite understand what that means.
After the extra penalty was completed, Lin Shaojie took a step further against Curry's defense. The Warriors' back line was completely disconnected, and Curry felt that he could not find Thompson at all.
When Lin Shaojie defends him, he always seems to be blocking his passing vision with his arms and body.
Curry can only pass to the inside.
But the wily David West completed the forward defense of David Lee, and the Pacers once again took the ball to counterattack.
When he saw Lin Shaojie pressing down to signal to slow down, George Hill waited until the Warriors were in position before passing the ball to the former.
"I'm not suggesting you defend me!"
Thompson didn't want to hear what Lin Shaojie had to say. He wanted to stick close to the opponent and not give him any space to shoot. However, Lin Shaojie, who was behind him, used a turning movement to easily bypass Thompson.
Lin Shaojie, who broke into the inside line, faced David Lee who was covering the defense. He quickly changed direction to get around and completed a pass in the paint area.
From left to right.
Bogut watched the Pacers' No. 13 spend so much energy just to stand in front of him again. Bogut knew that he was in trouble.
Facing Bogut, Lin Shaojie, who was playing in the low post, once again told all the players, coaches and even the audience.
"I, Lin Shaojie, will avenge me, whether you are a defender or a striker!"
His chest was once again hit by his opponent, his feet felt weak, and there was a vague feeling of discomfort in the injured ankle.
When Mark Jackson saw Bogut struggling to retreat this time, he was even worse than the last time. He knew trouble was coming.
With Bogut's height and weight, even if he can't guard against Lin Shaojie, it's not like he is now. The situation in front of him can only mean one thing, that is, his old injury has recurred.
Lin Shaojie's reputation of "bullying the old, weak, sick and disabled" is not false at all. He toyed with Stephen Curry, a "primary school boy", and gave him a block. Now he is starting to fight against Bogut, who has to fight due to illness.
The substitute striker looks for presence.
Bogut, who passively retreated to the basket, had not had time to wait for help from his teammates. Lin Shaojie, who was half-sideways, had already completed all the actions.
Bend your knees and jump on the spot.
The whole body seemed to be carrying the "weak" Bogut to complete the leap.
Then, the one arm holding the ball drew a circle in the air.
"Clang!"
Bogut, who was completely knocked away by Lin Shaojie, fell from the air without even being able to see whether the opponent's dunk was successful.
When I landed, I felt a sharp pain in my ankle, which had been aching slightly.
"ah!"
The seven-foot tall man fell to the ground with a crash, making a "clang" sound when he hit the ground.
Two loud bangs in succession were accompanied by the referee's whistle.
Lin Shaojie received another penalty.
Bogut fell to the ground, clutching his ankle in pain.
Lin Shaojie seemed not to have seen this scene. He stood up straight and looked down at the big man from Kangaroo Country, who was just one step away. Then he stretched out his index and middle fingers and said.
"two!"
All the cameras on the side of the court were focused on Lin Shaojie and Bogut, who was lying on the ground in pain.
The cold expression on that mask was like the God of Death looking down at the world, and a chill rose from the backs of the Warriors players.
The original 16-point difference was reduced to only 4 points, and the opponent still had one free throw.
The score difference between the two sides has almost been wiped out, and there are still two quarters left in the game...
