Chapter 299 The Clippers Sink

At the Staples Center, Kobe sat on the sidelines with a relaxed expression.

But under this relaxed demeanor, his smile became more restrained.

Although they haven't contacted Lin Shaojie for a while, after parting from the special training camp, the two still had a lot of online exchanges.

There is still a long time before the game between the Lakers and the Pacers will start. At that time, it is not certain whether he will come back, but the overall strength of the Clippers this season is far better than that of the Lakers. This is an indisputable fact, even Kobe can't deny it.

The Pacers No. 13 on the court played aggressively in the opening game. The first two goals were in the away game, but they played the away game as a home game.

Usually, when the game is nearing the end, or when the schedule is halfway through, the fans will turn their backs and applaud the stars who performed well in the away game.

On the one hand, they really played beautifully and conquered the away fans; on the other hand, it was an irony at home, whether it was aimed at coaches, players or management.

But at Staples, today was the first time that there was applause within a minute of the opening.

This is not only due to the players themselves, but also because of Kobe's support at the scene.

There must be die-hard Clippers fans, and there are quite a few, but these seemingly scattered applause have already wiped out the Clippers' home court advantage.

Are you envious?

I don’t know how many times Kobe got applause here, whether he wins or loses, this is his home field, and he is used to the applause here;

Are you jealous?

Kobe himself is "very old," approaching the age of retirement, even if his body recovers well, it is a luxury to be able to play for another two or three years.

The little guy in front of him has just started his career, but he has already entered the explosive period ahead of schedule, which is far more dazzling than his "green years".

It seems that there is indeed such a trace of jealousy in my heart, it is human nature!

hate it?

This is really not there. If there is, it is regret for myself. I hate that such a body is always a little bit worse in health.

Just a little bit.

What I dreamed of in the first half of my life was to win the championship, but what I expected later was to defeat that "dead fat man." When everything was realized, God seemed to gradually take away the strength and blessings bestowed on him, and life became full of regret.

Kobe has already felt the faster and faster time passing, as if every second on the court is faster and faster, the points that were easy to get in the past have become difficult, and the opponents are getting more and more difficult.

Kobe knew that his physical function began to degenerate, even though he had done too much training in his daily life, it was very difficult to stop this decline.

When Lin Shaojie scored his 18th point in the first quarter, Kobe knew one thing very well, that is, it was impossible for the Clippers to beat such a Pacer, such Lin Shaojie.

Maybe a simple shot or a dunk can't kill the game. Everything that seems tough is actually a disguise, just like Garnett who was "praised" by Lin Shaojie before. No matter how strong a player is, he can only win a championship. , Garnett is just a pseudo super giant.

But the toughness in front of him is not fake, the shooting is sharp, and the momentum on the court is even more untested.

Isn't Chris Paul strong?

Even the point guard that Kobe himself cares about is not strong.

But a player who is less than 1.9 meters tall and 1.8 meters five is questionable, and a point guard who is not "full" in talent, facing a big bug like Lin Shaojie, it is almost like being abused.

It seems that when Paul first entered the league, Paul was taught by Deron to be a man, no, it was far more embarrassing than that time.

In the eyes of the reporter, at least it was a close game, and the first quarter was one-sided.

Lin Shaojie's preemptive strike after the opening made the Pacers almost have the ball in his hands.

Although Paul George, the team's second-in-command, had a chance to make a shot, Lin Shaojie gave up on him after he missed two mid-range shots and let himself do it.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent is the Clippers, and Lin Shaojie's shooting rate is super high, the 18 points he has scored so far in the first quarter are easily reminiscent of the data brush.

But Lin Shaojie, who worked on the defensive end, cut off the Clippers' internal and external connections. If it weren't for the inside "Twin Towers" Jordan and Griffin to grab a few goals, the Clippers might have swallowed a big duck egg in Staples .

Before the rotation in the first quarter, the score of 21 to 10 made the soldiers of the Clippers pale, but the soldiers of the Pacers were all smiles.

When Lin Shaojie left the court, Kobe stood up and clapped his hands.

"Good job, little rookie!"

"The little rookie abuses you now without discussion!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"When you recover from your injury, wash your butt and wait for me."

"What do you want to do?"

Kobe feigned panic.

"Fuck off, I want to kick your ass, you dirty minded bastard."

Frank saw how good the relationship between his lover and Kobe was, but he was worried in his heart.

There should not be too many things about players in the league being "hooked up" by their brothers. Isn't that the case with the Heat's Big Three?

Besides, the Lakers are far more attractive than the Pacers, and Lin Shaojie's short video industry is located in Los Angeles. It is impossible for this popular fried chicken to stay in Indiana!

Who hasn't dreamed of the Big Apple or Hollywood!

Frank is a little worried. He thinks he needs to discuss it with Larry Bird and come up with a new plan as soon as possible. Since the league has had the "Bird Rights" and even the "Ross Clause," why can't there be the "Lynn Clause"?

There are many outstanding rookies in history, but it is almost impossible to find someone like Lin Shaojie, and the Pacers have also benefited a lot from his personal commercial value. If you want to come to other teams, they will not hinder such a thing.

Unless, they want to grab it themselves.

As for whether Frank was worried about the "debut is the peak", he must have been worried, but the Pacers' psychological counselors and trainers have expressed it.

The No. 13 player from Huaguo is in excellent physical condition and mental health. How could such a player encounter any "rookie wall?" Look at this game, it is refreshing.

If this state is still worrying, then other teams don't have to play.

When Gobert came on the court, he still didn't recover. He watched the game off the court for a long time.

Lin Shaojie's offensive and defensive integration made the Clippers miserable. During the team's pre-match mobilization, Frank and McMillan said a lot, but the summary is:

"When something unpredictable happens on the court, please choose Lynn..."

The tactics are clear and clear, making it impossible to refute. There are too many elegant words, which are hard to understand. The cliché is just

"Give that damn ball to Lynn!"

Gobert didn't know if he was overthinking, he always felt that Paul George was a little lost at that time.

After all, as the current team's "No. 29 scorer," Paul George's average of [-]+ per game is still very dazzling.

But everyone in the team knows that Lin Shaojie, who is second only to Paul George, has scored 27+ with fewer shots and is the undisputed core of the team.

Not to mention those exaggerated and comprehensive statistics, Paul George only has an advantage in scoring, and Lin Shaojie crushes the team's "second child!" in the other four categories!

This also allows other Pacers players to play easily without consuming too much energy.

After many previous games, the time when you need to work hard the most is actually "substitute time" and "garbage time," which is ridiculous.

Gobert, who was on the field, stabilized his position. Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Shaojie, who was sitting firmly, was wiping the scarce sweat on his body.

The French Tower always feels that Lynn wants to "do something today," at least the 18 points he got in the first quarter let everyone understand.

For Lin Shaojie to score such a thing, there is only a question of whether he wants to, not whether he can do it.

"Bang!"

Paul George's shot hit the basket, and Gobert, who was fighting with Jordan inside, was squeezed out by his opponent.

Pity!

Gobert felt that if he jumped late and exerted enough strength, he would be able to grab this offensive rebound.

As a rookie, Gobert has to admit that his sense of rebounding is not as good as No. 13 in the team. If that guy is not because of his height, he can play all positions, just like "Magic" Johnson so-so.

But even so, looking at the guards in the league, even those swinging forwards and guards, Lin Shaojie's rebounding is still unique.

Even if only offensive rebounds are counted, then Lin Shaojie is likely to enter the top ten in the league.

Lin Shaojie's end brought the two sides of the match into a normal rhythm.

Chris Paul's performance also became normal. When the smooth style of play extended from the Pacers to the Clippers, and the two sides played back and forth, Rivers, who was sitting off the court, calmed down a little.

What was the name of the previous fight, this is the normal rhythm, okay?

The Clippers spent so much money to build a team, is it used to be abused by you?

But facing a Pacers with half of the substitutes, the Clippers who only rotated Jordan played [-]-[-] against the opponent?

Soon, Rivers discovered that something was wrong with the form on the court.

Although Scola didn't make much contribution and scored directly, why should such an "expired" product be [-]-[-] with Griffin?

Many of Scola's strikes went to Stephenson, who felt hot outside the paint.

At Paul George's "cold" moment, someone for the Pacers took over the gun.

And what's going on with Gobert, is this big man from France so vigorous on the court?

Facing the buckle of "Gilifen", can you avoid it?

But seeing Gobert being knocked out and giving the opponent a free throw opportunity, but the next time, "Lengtouqing" is also fearless. Frank doesn't know what medicine Lin Shaojie gave Gobert before going on the court, so that he Don't worry about anything.

Could it be that guy is a wizard who can play Gu?

Gobert knew very well in his heart that Lin Shaojie secretly told him before he went on the court that although Griffin was very brave, he had been injured and could not hit the basket again and again. The guy will be honest.

Sure enough, as the core general of "Lob City", Griffin seemed to have no hesitation in trying to dunk Gobert when he hit the inside for the third time, but when the basketball dunked and bounced out of the basket, Gobert knew.

He succeeded.

Griffin got three chances to add penalties during this period. Gobert was fouled three times in just a few minutes, and it was here that he lost the most points.

But everyone can see that the Pacers have not lost their momentum at all. The French tower seems to be a "stunned young man" who wants to commit six crimes.

On the fourth time, Griffin made a mid-range shot.

He hit it!

Gobert, who didn't hit the inside and grabbed a defensive rebound, screamed up to the sky!

"what!"

The audience watched inexplicably, isn't it just a defensive rebound?It's as if you haven't snatched it, so it's not ashamed to lose it!

Another highlight of the Clippers is Crawford, who is a master of chaos and has Paul "serving" on the side, and he fights very powerfully.

The most important thing is that this guy has a very nervous touch, and when he is accurate, he can make a perfect shot, and he can hit a three-pointer from time to time.

The same offense, but the Clippers gradually caught up with Crawford's performance.

Soon, Scola was replaced, and the Pacers, who were not weak inside, had some problems in offense. During this time, Stephenson supported him, and Scola could only be used as the central axis.

And West, who was replaced, showed why he was the starter.

Taking the ball in the same position, facing the Clippers' inside twin towers, West's strength and rhythm coupled with his mid-range shot, made waves.

Most of the balls passed by Stephenson turned into assists, and Gobert was completely used as a rough guy in the interior.

Not to mention, the effect is great!

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, West scored 9 points alone, and the score was once again opened before the intermission between the two sides.

51:40.

The 11-point difference allowed the Pacers to enter the locker room with a smile on their face.

"Kobe, what did you think of the first half of the game?"

Kobe looked at the familiar reporter and replied: "How can I watch, of course I sit and watch."

A not-so-big-to-small joke was left in the cold. Kobe, the "topic stopper", actually has this side?

Is this going to transform into a "sneering craftsman"?

"I was joking just now. In fact, the Clippers played well in the second quarter. Of course, they played badly in the first quarter. The most important thing is that they did not effectively restrict Lynn. Instead, Paul George If he didn't play it out, otherwise the Pacers might end the battle in the first half. Lynn's firepower is fully fired today, and he is in great shape.

I think in the second half Rivers will limit Lynn, like sending Chris and Green to double-team him..."

Reporters in the locker room were not allowed to enter, but it should have been such a tactic. Lin Shaojie only played 10 minutes, scored 18 points, and his offensive efficiency was frighteningly high.

If he is allowed to play in the second half, the 11-point difference is by no means the final result.

When the players on both sides "returned the king," Rivers really adopted the most "cruel" double-team for Lin Shaojie, but there was no Chris Paul, but Green and Dudley.

As the brain and core of the Clippers, Paul obviously can't waste useless efforts on defense. A player like him wants to rely on his own strength to defend a tough guy like Lin Shaojie, so he obviously needs to make some small moves.

But everyone knows that Lin Shaojie is not someone to be messed with, he is obviously just a second-year "freshman," and there are very few in the league who dare to confront Lin Shaojie head-on.

Now that Green and Dudley are being sent openly, Rivers wants to try.

However, Lin Shaojie did not play as the main attacker in the second half. He once again gave up the opportunity to his second child, Paul George.

Paul George, who has gradually recovered his touch, has become an offensive killer on the court. His taller stature and shooting point make him appear more calm in offense.

Lin Shaojie's passing is very comfortable, and he has many choices when facing double teams, but Paul George is still "preferred!"

Seeing such a situation, Rivers knew that his double-teaming had no real effect.

Lin Shaojie is not that kind of dead-headed. When he faces double-teams, as long as there are teammates who can catch his pass, then no one is useless.

It's not like Kobe sitting off the court. If it weren't for the dead-brained, more passing ideas, Kobe's achievements would be far higher than now, but that would not be the current Kobe.

I don't know how many fans like to watch the stubborn and even mentally ill Kobe, one-on-one, one-on-two or even one-on-three on the court.

Even if it is continuous blacksmithing, Kobe has never been afraid, and the little blacksmith has never lagged behind others in such things as "blacksmithing"!

As for Lin Shaojie?

He can attack and pass the ball himself, and he is playing with his brain, unless there is no other way.

Don't look at the ability to lean back and break double-teams in offense, but if you can pass the ball, and there are masters like Paul George or West in the team to respond, why bother to make yourself suffer and waste your energy.

Soon, the tactic of double-teaming, which has more restrictions on the superstar phase, became the most useless.

Rivers was forced to replace Crawford and remove Green.

The worst performers on the court today are Willie Green and Gerald Dudley. The former only scored 2 points and feels colder than Paul George;

Although the latter is very successful, but as a small forward, he is useless in defense, but has made three turnovers.

The reason why Lin Shaojie scored 18 points so easily is because these two made so many mistakes!

Crawford's playing is the beginning of a bayonet battle between the two sides and an offensive battle.

Neither Paul nor Crawford are big players, but Chris Paul can play by ear, knowing that he can't beat him, so he tries to avoid Lin Shaojie as much as possible.

Crawford didn't hesitate at all when facing George Hill, he played very decisively.

The fans at the scene were very happy.

When the Clippers were attacking, Crawford on the wing got the basketball and shot immediately after Griffin got stuck.

"Shh!"

Get two points.

When it was the Pacers' turn to attack, Lin Shaojie quickly rushed to the Clippers' three-point line. Griffin rushed up, facing the opponent's emptiness inside, and Lin Shaojie threw the basketball directly from behind his waist.

Paul George received the basketball in front of the free throw line and made a three-step layup. Jordan had no choice but to fight this menacing dunk.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

The Pacers returned a two-pointer.

Although the point difference has not widened, it has not narrowed either.

When Lin Shaojie deflected to Crawford's side in defense, when Chris Paul repeated his trick and wanted to pass to Crawford, he immediately shot a false shot.

Paul immediately turned his gun and passed the basketball to Griffin.

"You got Fooled!"

Paul's smile hadn't fully bloomed yet, but Lin Shaojie, who was clearly leaning towards Crawford, rushed directly in front of Griffin. The latter had just received the ball, and before he had time to adjust, he was slapped down by Lin Shaojie's big hand.

"Snapped!"

The basketball was hit hard on the floor. Although Griffin wanted to bend down to grab the ball immediately, Lin Shaojie, who has slender arms, grabbed it with his fingertips. The basketball changed from a sport to a well-behaved child. throw out.

From stealing to launching a long pass, Lin Shaojie hardly consumed time.

Griffin was very angry, his speed was not slow, it was just that his hands were a little short by "billion".

George Hill received the pass on the perimeter and headed into the Clippers' half court first.

In the end, he ended the offense with a very gentlemanly layup.

This in and out was a four-point difference, and Rivers immediately called a timeout, obviously trying to stop the Pacers' touch.

After a brief pause, the personnel did not adjust.

Chris Paul advanced with the ball, and Crawford and Griffin attacked at the same time, attracting the Pacers' attention.

Paul's dribbling was very steady. Seeing Lin Shaojie stepping forward to defend, he shot immediately, and Crawford's return pass was timely. The Clippers used a two-for-one approach to bypass Lin Shaojie.

In fact, many team guards have considered using this method to avoid the defensive pressure brought by Lin Shaojie, but the reality is that very few teams have two top guards, and the Pacers have a lot of defensive pressure, so Such a tacit cooperation cannot be achieved.

Chris Paul, who finally found a breakthrough space, used his flexible position to get rid of George Hill's supplementary defense, and went straight to the inside.

It's a pity that Roy Hibbert jumped early. Paul still has a lot of things. A master's low-altitude layup completely evaded Hibbert's defense.

West was held back by Jordan on the side, and he lost his position.

Paul, who successfully scored a goal, waved his fists and shouted loudly.

"continue!"

He seems to have found a little way, a way to defeat the Pacers.

Rivers saw a bright spot in this offense. Although Crawford is a combination of "ghosts and ghosts", it is undeniable that his skills are fine.

If this guy can catch up with Paul, it's not a bad idea to beat the Pacers.

The Pacers' counterattack came quickly, and Lin Shaojie broke through with the ball like a gust of wind, making all the Clippers players feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

However, Lin Shaojie, who was wandering along the three-point line looking for opportunities, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch and swung Crawford away. Of course, Lin Shaojie made a shot.

Why not vote for such a good opportunity, save your energy for the New Year?

Crawford looked helplessly at the opponent's shot. From his figure, gestures, and Lin Shaojie's slow defensive posture after landing, he knew that Lin Shaojie's shot must have something to do.

"Shh!"

With the joyful expressions of the Pacers players, Crawford retreated helplessly, and the Clippers reorganized their offense.

The two sides came and went, and the fight was very lively.

Facing the Clippers with a single defense, Lin Shaojie must hit it, and made four consecutive three-pointers, making the Clippers want to die.

Although both sides played very efficiently, after four offenses, the Clippers scored eight points, and the sharp shooter on the opposite side scored 12 points.

Rivers had no choice but to let Paul play by ear. If possible, he still had to put some pressure on that guy.

Whatever Paul could do, of course he followed the rules.

But looking back, when faced with double-teaming, except for Lin Shaojie's decisive first shot, the long two-pointer with a retreat step, and the defensive two were caught off guard, the next few attacks were all based on passing the ball. host.

West next to the paint area catches the ball and makes mid-range shots. His touch is second only to Lin Shaojie in the team. In a short period of time, the two of them almost monopolize the team's scoring.

Will teammates complain?

No, this isn't a statistic, it's a real fight, but the efficiency of both sides is very high, and other Pacers players are also worried that their poor hand feeling will affect the overall situation.

Obviously, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, no one wants to be this "villain!"

You know, the current Pacers belong to Lynn's team, and Paul George, the second-in-command, must also pay with everyone.

In fact, only the "second child" knows in his heart how much effort he has put in on the defensive end. He knows very well in his heart that Crawford and Paul can play so smoothly, and his "credit" must be in it.

But Lin Shaojie is pouring water on the defensive end and putting more energy into the offense. Why should he be willing to be a green leaf, working and contributing.

But before Paul George came back to his senses, Chris Paul repeated his tricks while dribbling, trying to bypass Lin Shaojie through tacit cooperation with Crawford.

But Lin Shaojie's sudden acceleration and counter-grab interrupted the Clippers' attack.

"To suffer!"

Rivers could see it clearly off the court, and he felt a "click" in his heart, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.

The gaudy style of play shown in the anti-hung made everyone run back and forth on the court. Under the cover of extremely high offensive efficiency, a group of players played very casually, but lost to the opponent by 1 point in each round. Everyone can see everything clearly.

Lin Shaojie obviously didn't let the Clippers players shoot three-pointers. After so many rounds, the point difference was once again widened.

This time it was the Clippers' turn to attack, and they returned halfway without success. If the Pacers scored another goal, they would score 5 points inside and outside. Still want to fight the Pacers in the fourth quarter?

How can it be that simple.

Lin Shaojie, who completed the steal, rushed forward quickly. Chris Paul tried his best to interfere, but his "small body" obviously couldn't stop him. Some foul moves were also ignored by the referee during Lin Shaojie's seemingly normal running.

Lin Shaojie, who braked suddenly in front of the three-point line, caused Paul to run towards him.

But it was a pity that Lin Shaojie, who made a sudden stop, made a fake move. He didn't take the shot calmly until Paul slid past him and staggered to the sideline.

"Shh!"

Once again, the three-pointer was successful, and everything was as Rivers expected. The butcher knife in the hands of the Pacers has been pressed on the head of the Clippers.

15 points difference!

Waiting until the next round, although Chris Paul wanted revenge, he even forgot the pain Lin Shaojie left him in the first quarter.

But when he couldn't get in and had to pass the ball to "throw the pot" at the last moment, Rivers knew that Paul gave up.

Normally at this time, Paul should be in a strong shot state, but today Paul "coaxed!"

Griffin, who was in a hurry to catch the ball, didn't even have time to cover, and he knew it well, Paul's heart was upset.

Facing West's sophistication, Griffin gave the opponent a block with his short hand, and Lin Shaojie, who scored a backcourt rebound, made a long pass. Paul George, who was running at the forefront, finally opened the game in this quarter.

Back and forth twice, when the point difference exceeded 20 points, Rivers knew that the general trend was that the Clippers were about to "sink".
