My basketball vision is different

The Thunder's offense, Westbrook made a three-threat action with the ball, Paul George was replaced by Stephenson after half the game due to physical reasons.

The latter was not fooled, he knew that "Turtle" had an impressive shooting percentage in this position, so he took a step forward.

Westbrook is a little bit stuck. As a guard, he really can't make a long-range shot. If the opponent is fooled into close defense, he will definitely be able to make a time difference and get rid of the opponent, but the opponent will not accept this at all.

Westbrook knows who taught this trick, and there is no more "bad" player in the Pacers than No. 13.

Then......

Westbrook accelerated and changed direction, and Stephenson followed closely. His body is not much worse than the opponent, and he also has some advantages in height and strength, but Stephenson can only follow, not perfect defense.

Westbrook's breakthrough is like a dynamite pack that is about to explode. It is full of strength, and weaker defenders will definitely lose their position under this impact.

Stephenson defended him, but he didn't have this kind of impact, it was just not perfect.

Durant was defended by Lin Shaojie on one side, causing Westbrook to complete half of the breakthrough pass with one less target.

In the previous few passes, both of them felt very thrilling. The opponent was about to be successfully intercepted by No. 13. If it weren't for the length of Durant's arm, Westbrook would definitely have made a few turnovers. With the pace of the Pacers' counterattack, the Thunder will definitely be in a dangerous situation.

At this time, Westbrook, who had found a chance, did not go straight to the inside. Hibbert and West of the Pacers had a tough style, and Westbrook couldn't bully these two.

From the corner of the eye, Sefolosha broke in from the flank, and Westbrook quickly passed the ball.

But who would have thought that Westbrook put too much attention on Lin Shaojie, forgetting that the Pacers have another outstanding guard-George Hill.

George Hill, whose defensive strength has greatly increased this season, has already become one of the contributors to the Pacers' winning streak. In the previous games, Lin Shaojie was able to continuously reduce his playing time and give other teammates more opportunities to show up. The reason is that George Hill shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense on the outside.

George Hill, who was regarded as both offensive and defensive in the Spurs, completed his second evolution in the Pacers, and continued to increase his experience, giving this player trained by Popovich a second spring.

Westbrook's passing during the action was a bit too careless. He avoided Lin Shaojie's point, but he did not escape George Hill's "cross-cutting knife." Sefolosha missed a move and was completed by Hill Steal.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Durant wanted to block Lin Shaojie's counterattack, but the No. 13 cat crawled out from his side, and Durant didn't even have time to make a foul. a disadvantage.

Lin Shaojie, who was advancing quickly, felt the basketball flying towards him in the middle of the field, turned his head sideways, Lin Shaojie blocked it with one arm, and the basketball fell into his palm like an obedient elf.

Facing the Thunder's empty defense, Lin Shaojie didn't make any drastic moves. He ended the counterattack with a rare layup.

"Haha, Lynn seems to be teaching the three-step layup on the spot. As the most basic movement, it is impeccable. Coupled with his body shape, I think every beginner can take this three-step layup as a standard."

It is not easy to create a pleasing aesthetic feeling for a basic movement. In fact, any Thunder player can do it, but with Durant's "fat head" figure, I always feel that something is missing.

Lin Shaojie's movements are unforgettable, that is, the overall body shape, hand shape, including layup movements are impeccable.

In fact, Durant's reaction is not slow, but his speed is relative, and in absolute value, it is definitely not comparable to Lin Shaojie.

The Thunder had no choice but to serve again. As the coach, Brooks temporarily replaced Sefolosha and replaced Reggie Jackson.

As the "direct line" player of the Thunder, Jackson, who was selected by the Thunder the year before, spent two seasons as a substitute. Although he still mostly came off the bench this season, his scoring average has increased from the previous 5 points to 13 points per game this season.

Has the ability been improved?

No, because the average playing time has doubled compared to last season.

In a team like the NBA, few people are as efficient as Lin Shaojie. Most players want to get a good stat, and their playing time is directly proportional to their excellent stats.

However, Jackson's appearance can be regarded as a reinforcement on the back line. When facing George Hill, he is far more adaptable than Sefoloza.

But until now in the second half of the game, the Pacers have regained the lead, and Jackson's playing can only make one shot occasionally, which does not substantially improve the overall situation.

Don't think that the Pacers lack the "second master" Paul George, but George Hill and Stephenson's performance is not bad, especially the latter, who is effective against Westbrook's brown sugar defense.

It seems that he didn't lock the opponent, but Westbrook didn't have any good chances to attack the inside line. Instead, he could only "wave shots" in the middle and long distances. Stephenson's performance made people shine.

Then think of Stephenson's contract is about to expire, such a swingman with strength, defense, offense, and small forward.

"It can be imported!"

Seeing this scene, I don't know how many coaches are very excited, mainly because Stephenson's current salary of less than one million is too attractive.

Even if the contract is renewed, there is no annual salary of nearly 900 million, and 15 million is still required. Then think about his average level of close to 6 points per game, more than 4 rebounds, and [-]+ assists. Absolutely eye-catching.

By the end of the third quarter, Stephenson, who performed well on the court, didn't know how much attention he had attracted from the coach.

Although Lin Shaojie is more important in the Pacers, most people know that it is not for sale in the hands of "Big Bird", and it is impossible for the Pacers to sell their core.

In this comparison, Stephenson is extremely attractive in the market.

During the break, Stephenson was also praised by players including Lin Shaojie, and Frank patted him on the shoulder again.

At that moment, Stephenson felt that the pinnacle of his life was almost like this. If he persisted until the end of this season, he would be able to sign the big contract he dreamed of.

So what about the sixth man, being the sixth man in a dream team like the Pacers, life is easy, there are people covering it, and there is an endorsement contract from Huaguo outside the court, there is no more comfortable than this It's time.

Frank looked at the score of 85 to 77 on the court, and he was determined.

The Pacers who have taken the lead have only one quarter of the game left. It doesn't matter whether Paul George can play or not. Stephenson has done well enough.

In his mind, Lin Shaojie was able to restrain Durant and let him only score a measly 7 points in the entire third quarter, which was a surprise.

When Lin Shaojie left the field, he gestured an "OK" gesture to him, which indicated that Lin Shaojie had judged that the threat of the opponent was eliminated, which was the tacit understanding between the master and the apprentice.

On the other hand, after three quarters, Durant, who was sitting in his seat, wiped his sweat with a towel handed by his teammates, and his heavy breathing made coach Scott Brooks frown while listening.

Durant, who scored 7 points, is the Thunder player with the highest total score on the court, but his [-] points are hard-won, and almost every attack consumes a long time and physical energy.

It's only been three quarters, and Durant has already started to look a little out of breath, as if he has gone through a big battle. Brooks is also anxious about how to spend the remaining ten minutes.

Looking at Westbrook again, his physical fitness is still abundant, and his eyes are a little confused under his strong body. Maybe after a game, he also has some doubts about his life.

Are the Pacers even tougher without Paul George?

This is totally unreasonable.

"According to our information, Paul has not recovered from his cold."

Brooks stood in front of the players and whispered.

"So what we are facing is not a complete Pacers. Now, we have one quarter left to prove ourselves. The hope of victory is in sight. The [-] fans in the audience are watching you. There are countless fans who want to see you beat opponents like the Pacers.

Enjoy the glory or taste the bitter fruit of failure, everything is up to you. "

Brooks, who picked up the tactical board, gave a morale boost.

"Kevin's physical consumption is too high. I want him to rest a little longer in the next quarter. Even if there is one more minute, we all have the hope of winning..."

In the fourth quarter, Durant sat off the court to rest, and Lin Shaojie did the same. Paul George replaced him.

But at that moment, it was George Hill who held the ball on the court, and David West who initiated the offensive horn.

Facing the Thunder's semi-main lineup, the Pacers' semi-main lineup has more advantages, especially on the inside.

Although the presence of West and Scola lowered the height of the Pacers inside, they were superior in offensive firepower. Perkins encountered this kind of striker who could pull out long-range shots, and his footsteps became a big problem.

There is nothing to say about Ibaka's dynamic talent, but the Pacers can have two players on the inside, both of whom are players who can shoot and pass. Paul George and George Hill are watching from the outside. After the fourth quarter, the Pacers The player in turn beat the opponent 10 to 4, and the point difference between the two sides instantly widened to double digits.

Durant, who rested for more than two minutes, had to play early, and Lin Shaojie also played with him.

The two who walked towards the playing field at the same time looked at each other, and Durant felt heavy in his heart.

"If you want to win, you need to work harder!"

Lin Shaojie also saw the look of catching up in Durant's eyes, but the rest time was so short, Lin Shaojie was confident to block his opponent again.

He has been playing with Durant on the court for so long. No matter how talented the opponent is, it is impossible to continue to be efficient. Big players suffer physically, not to mention that under his own defense, Durant The efficiency of playing is not high.

If he was facing LeBron, Lin Shaojie would not do this. The abnormal physical fitness of the "little emperor" is enough for him to exert [-]% to [-]% of his strength in overtime. Knowing how to self-regulate and judge the situation, he is likely to work hard on defense, so he can avoid excessive consumption!

Durant is a bit "stupid!"

Although defense doesn't require him to expend too much energy, Durant, who is in a daze, always wants to give his all in one-on-one, and Lin Shaojie will of course consume him.

After Durant played again, he thought that he would face the same situation as before, but he didn’t expect that No. 13 on the opposite side was so shameless and started to press the audience. Not only that, Lin Shaojie oppressed his defense The defensive attitude is completely different from the defensive attitude before the three quarters.

The sense of oppression at close range is very strong, and the way of being close to others is full of aggression.

Durant, who was already a bit introverted, didn't like this kind of "safe" distance very much, and his heart began to become anxious because of this.

The friction between the two is also growing.

In the eyes of fans, coaches and even players, in the fourth quarter of the game after the core players of both sides played, the choice to decide the outcome is in the hands of these two.

The one-on-one between Lin Shaojie and Durant became a little weird.

Lin Shaojie, who kept putting pressure on his opponents, became a hurdle for Durant. In the previous games, even though his offensive efficiency was not very high, he was still able to score.

But in the fourth quarter, it became difficult for Durant to catch the ball. He was constantly chasing and intercepting him. Lin Shaojie was like a mad dog on the court, constantly biting his opponent.

The momentum shown is completely a playoff-level defense.

And Durant's incompatibility made it even more difficult for him to make a smooth shot even after receiving the pass.

Conversely, Lin Shaojie didn't play the ball on the offensive end, like a ghost on the court, constantly using the positions of opponents and teammates, interspersed with them, and threw Durant away.

As a passer, George Hill will always send the pass as soon as Lin Shaojie runs to the open space.

The tacit understanding between each other made Westbrook envious.

Lin Shaojie's quick shot in less than half a second almost became the last straw on Thunder.

The three-point rain seemed to fall suddenly.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Nonstop.

Barkley in the commentary was originally smiling, but soon even the laughter disappeared.

"It's too cruel, the reality is too cruel. For the Thunder, they didn't do anything to apologize to Lynn or the Pacers. They were just a very capable opponent on the court.

But unfortunately, in this game, they once again let Lynn unleash his explosive scoring ability.

My God, it's not over yet. The core of both sides only played for 5 minutes. Lynn has already made six of six three-pointers. "

Smith, who was sitting next to Barkley, also clenched his fists secretly, the excitement kept jumping in his chest.

"I never imagined that when a player reaches a certain level of three-point ability, it will bring such a change to the game.

The only thing the Pacers have to do now is to pass the damn ball to No. 13, and then let that guy shoot, and they wait for the assists and the victory.

God!

Is this game too easy? "

Is the game easy?

The spectators really look very simple, the Hawkeye system is enough to make everything on the court invisible, and they can see clearly from the sidelines as commentators.

But for the audience, especially the fans and players in the front row, what they saw was a chaotic formation on the pitch.

Lin Shaojie runs around and always finds a chance to make a shot. It is an early judgment on the player's position on the court. If you don't have such a vision, you will only see a sea of ​​people and professional players who move quickly, which will make you feel There are people everywhere.

But under such circumstances, Lin Shaojie was still able to find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

This is ability!

This is vision!

Durant's original talent and shooting ability disappeared instantly before such an absolute advantage.

The consumption of his physical fitness in the first three quarters made Durant soft again. Maybe after the game is over, he will receive the evaluation of "unqualified physical fitness", but only Lin Shaojie has a clear mind. Killed the opponent's time for three quarters.

Durant's physical fitness is really not bad, but it's a pity that he encountered a big bastard, that's all!

"nice shot!"

When Lin Shaojie once again broke through the Thunder's defense and received a pass from George Hill within the three-point line, he had already thrown Durant away by making a breakthrough, and Westbrook, who was assisting in the defense, rushed over. However, Westbrook, whose center of gravity was shifted and shifted under Lin Shaojie's three-point threat, could only watch his opponent complete a step back, take off easily outside the three-point line, and shoot.

The same three threats, both of them have done it.

But one was very successful and one was a failure.

Westbrook suddenly discovered that when he only relied on instinct and talent to stand out against his opponents, without the assistance of a good shooting skill, the deterrent effect he could bring to his opponents was too low.

Maybe after this season, I have to practice hard, otherwise, if I continue like this, one day I will be old, unable to run, and unable to jump high, can I continue to be called the "Second Young Master of Thunder"?

Maybe I have a high status in the locker room, but on the court, what I can bring is not as good as "Kevin!"

Lin Shaojie, who successfully scored a goal, looked at Westbrook on the court as if lost in thought. Lin Shaojie felt the feeling of epiphany, and he reached out and patted the opponent's shoulder lightly.

"Shooting is easy to practice, but it takes time?"

"What did you say?"

When Westbrook reacted, Lin Shaojie had already walked away.

Seeing the opponent making a shooting gesture and showing a sunny smile, Westbrook knew it clearly.

Maybe it's time to practice.

Lin Shaojie's three-point rain became the thunderbolt. Although they still had veterans like Fisher on the bench, "Old Fish" was replaced by the coach after only 2 minutes. He was on the court. When facing George Hill, he was as slow as an old cow.

So soon, Brooks replaced Jackson again, and his performance after replacing Sefolosha was far better than that of the main player.

Sefolosha was completely at a disadvantage in today's duel with George Hill. He only scored 4 points from the game. On the contrary, Jackson, who came off the bench, scored 10 points, showing a higher efficiency value.

But unfortunately, these 10 points were overshadowed by Lin Shaojie's three-point rain in the fourth quarter.

Lin Shaojie, who scored seven consecutive 3-pointers in the second half and scored 21 points in a single quarter, became the court god at the last moment. Durant even smashed the ball in a fit of anger at the last moment, which was obviously irritated by Lin Shaojie's personal defense up.

"I think, after this game, Durant needs a spiritual mentor. Although he scored the Thunder's most points with 33 points, it's a pity that in nearly 10 minutes of playing time, 14 of them were scored at the beginning of the game. In Lin Shaojie's defense, he actually scored 19 points, and in the fourth quarter, only a poor 4 points were recorded."

"In my impression, Durant seldom has such a deflated time. I think Lynn's defense will sound a wake-up call to other swingmen. As a member of the first team last season, I think Lynn can Go for the best defensive player in the league this season."

"No, Lynn definitely can't beat Kardashian."

Barkley, who was joking, said with a smile, and Smith beside him also laughed tacitly.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Durant pushed away Lynn's "friendship" hand, and walked towards the player channel without grace.

"Damn Lynn, you ruined my vacation!"

Durant, who was muttering, was still a little angry. He was angry not only with his reduced scoring efficiency, but also with Lin Shaojie's actions on the court.

Lin Shaojie, who behaved very gentlemanly, did not stop harassing himself when he was defending on the court. As long as he could make reasonable contact with his whole body, he was constantly wearing down his patience.

The one-on-one defense in the audience made his performance even more ugly.

Strength, speed, and agility. When his physical fitness was weakened, he was displaying his enthusiasm recklessly, making him "Du Mou" like a soft-legged shrimp.

Durant is well aware of the heat of the live broadcast of this game. After the Spurs, this is the team most likely to beat the Pacers in the West.

Now the glory has fallen to the Pacers again, and they continue their winning streak. As for the Thunder, they "steadily" stop at the third place, and they want to hit the top position. This month, there is no possibility.

"Sorry Lynn, he must be pissed!"

Westbrook's emotional intelligence is obviously much higher. After the game, he took the initiative to step forward instead.

Lin Shaojie and "Turtle" embrace each other passionately, the competition is the competition, and the personal relationship is the personal relationship. Their private communication is still very good.

"Talk to Kevin, how about I treat him to dinner in order to make up for the loss of his stadium?"

"I don't care, but I don't know if he agrees."

"Ask and see, maybe you will agree?"

Lin Shaojie said with a smile, watching the tall and thin figure almost disappear from the player tunnel, at the last moment, Durant turned around and gave Lin Shaojie a thumbs up, fans on both sides of the tunnel could hear Durant Rand pulled his voice.

"I will definitely defeat you next time, don't be complacent for too long!"

Lin Shaojie smiled, gave a thumbs back, and then said with a smile to Westbrook beside him.

"The next time it will be at Consec Arena, do you think Kevin will have that chance?"

"Maybe there will be a miracle!"

Westbrook dodged the opponent's gaze a little.

"If a miracle happens, then I will kill it with my own hands!"

Lin Shaojie's voice was not loud, but it was deafening. It was strange that Westbrook actually believed that guy could do it.

Then look at the other Pacers players who are gradually approaching.

Today, they failed to win against a team that lacked a "second-in-chief" like Paul George. Next time...is it really possible?
