In late January, as the largest sports newspaper in the country, "Sports News" published a long report, accompanied by a photo of Lin Shaojie standing on the field and pointing his fingers at the fans.

Against the background of light and shadow, it feels somewhat domineering!

Below this picture, there are comments from top basketball practitioners.

"It was a great year for the Pacers, and when we thought it was over, it was just the beginning, not the end.

The birth of Lin Shaojie brought the Pacers, a giant ship in the east, on a rampage. Rather than saying that he played the role of the Pacers' savior hero, it is better to say that he is the biggest award given by Huaguo basketball fans.

When the little giant left the basketball court, Dazhi almost retired, and the core of basketball was almost broken, Lin Shaojie's appearance saved this endangered sport.

Many people may think that I am alarmist, but look at the World Championship qualifiers, right?

Although the main lineup has changed, everyone can see that in the face of those "underdogs," most of the national team with a few young people lost completely. At that moment, have you forgotten?

I don't question that group of people's love for basketball, but their performance on the court did not reflect it. Now, we can only rely on the chance of getting wild cards to get into it.

From a medal in the London Olympics to the defeat in the World Championships, and then looking at the vicissitudes of the NBA, I think we should look up to see such a player who has brought Huaguo Men's Basketball an incredible Not just a medal, but also surprises and gains.

Now, the Pacers have won the 38th game of the season. In all the games held before, the Pacers have won all, reaching an unprecedented level.

If the Pacers can successfully defend their title this season, Lin Shaojie's status in the Pacers will catch up with Larry Bird.

At least since last season, the Hua Guo youth who brought the Pacers their first championship has already surpassed more than [-]% of the Pacers superstars.

Lin Shaojie will not be the second one, he will get rid of all the symbols on his body, only keep his own characteristics, he will only be himself..."

The Athletic's large-scale report praised the Pacers' No. 13 player.

When relevant reports were published on the Internet, the fans were full of Mobike's voice.

"Fuck, I didn't have time to watch the game for a week, and I didn't have time for the final exam. How did I win 38 games in a row? How many games did I miss?"

"Inhuman victory, what the hell is a human doing? Ever since the winning streak was recorded, the NBA has never thought that such a record will be broken by a Chinese with a group of players, right? !"

"It's indeed a bit exaggerated. When Lin guides the Savior's performance at critical moments, almost all of them are in times of crisis."

The netizen also sorted out a lot of GIFs, all of which are clips of Lin Shaojie on the court. They are not the top ten shots, or the shots at critical moments, the kind that hit every shot.

Anyway, before the game against the Clippers, Lin Shaojie was a little embarrassed after being asked about related topics by Li Dacheng.

"Director Lin, what do you think of such praise and comments from netizens?"

"It's too exaggerated. I just try my best to do my best, which does not exclude the element of luck. Of course, we have seized every necessary victory outside of luck."

"So do you have the confidence to win today's game?"

Li Dacheng still asked the fans concerned questions.

"As long as I'm on the court, I'm going to have the confidence to win."

Lin Shaojie gave a satisfactory answer.

The enthusiasm of the fans is too vain, which makes it difficult for a player like Lin Shaojie.

Of course, behind the record of winning 38 games in a row, many people know that the Pacers' internal hidden dangers are getting heavier and heavier.

As if snowballing, the pressure of victory is getting heavier and heavier on the players.

It's strange to say that Lin Shaojie can already feel the invisible pressure, which is constantly exerted on his teammates, even though he has enough rest time.

When it comes to the lineup, the Pacers have nothing to say about each position;

When it comes to the depth of the team, it is full of flowers and strength, and they are not afraid of back-to-back.

But behind the number "38", people will feel unspeakable jerky.

Most importantly, Chris Paul, who was supposed to play in this game, sprained his right shoulder in the last round against the Mavericks.

This is not good news for the Clippers.

Judging from the current news, I am afraid that there will be three to five weeks to rest.

Judging from the process of the game, it was not a malicious foul, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground when facing a defensive player, and was injured and unable to play.

As the backbone of the Clippers, Chris Paul, who is known as 1.8m 20 in height, has so far averaged close to 11+, 13+ assists per game, and has scored and assisted in double figures in [-] consecutive games.

Without Lin Shaojie's sky-defying statistics, Chris Paul would be the most handsome point guard.

But in the last game against the Mavericks, Chris Paul, whose efficiency value once again exploded, scored 19 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in [-] minutes.

If it weren't for his efforts, it would be impossible for the Clippers to beat the Mavericks.

But now, the most core player of the Clippers is injured and cannot appear in the Conseco Arena.

This made the battle for the No. [-] point guard in the East and West that everyone was looking forward to come to an end without a problem, and it also made Anthony and others who wanted to see the Clippers overturn the Pacers had to feel sad.

Even the Clippers with Chris Paul can't beat the Pacers. Now without this core, how can they win the game.

Nobody believed the Clippers could win!

Perhaps what awaits the Pacers is a victory, 39 victories.

As the coach, Rivers also helplessly sent a new lineup to challenge the Pacers away.

Darren Collison replaced Chris Paul, and JJ Redick served as the guard starting lineup, Dudley, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan is still the Clippers' striker starting lineup.

Overall, the Clippers' starting lineup does not have a static advantage in front of the Pacers' starting five, especially on the back line, which almost feels like being crushed.

After the game started, as expected by the public, the Pacers gained the advantage after successfully jumping the ball.

The backcourt combination of Collison and Redick showed a one-sided trend in the head-to-head confrontation with Lin Shaojie and George Hill in the backcourt.

The original smooth offense of the Clippers could not be played at all. After the opening, Lin Shaojie felt full of oppression. Collison felt the fierce momentum on the opposite side. This 1.8-meter-small point guard was facing a "tall" talented type The point guard more or less thought of that joke that has been circulating for a long time.

"Slap Paul while eating and sleeping!"

Chris Paul in his rookie period was abused by the Jazz "chubby" in this way. Now, the first-round pick in 09 began to feel the "labor pains!" that Chris Paul encountered back then.

When he saw the Pacers' No. 13 airtight defense, as far as he could see, it seemed that he couldn't see his teammates, and they followed him like a shadow.

The back line is not good at dribbling the ball, and the Clippers' overall offense seems to be stuck in a quagmire. Jordan and Griffin have nothing to do with their strength.

The opening wave was 15 to 0, and the Clippers were disgraced up and down. The fans at the scene had an orgasm in the opening period, and coach Rivers had to call a timeout.

"Oh my god, the Clippers are also a strong team in the Western Conference, but one less Chris Paul, it's like changing a team?"

Someone exaggeratedly said.

"What is this, Paul's value is only reflected at this time!"

Paul, who was recuperating in Los Angeles, saw this scene. Although he was a little disappointed, he had more expectations.

Under his leadership, the Clippers have recently achieved a brilliant record of four consecutive victories, but also because of his injury, the Clippers have become like this.

Whoever has the final say on the current Clippers, everyone can be regarded as clear at a glance.

After the timeout resumed, the Clippers finally made a good start by relying on Griffin's score in the paint, but it was a bit late after 3 minutes of the good start.

Collison and Redick also cooperated with their teammates a lot, and the Pacers relaxed a little bit for them, and the Clippers were finally able to advance normally.

But before the Clippers' players cheered up, Redick's hands were trembling when facing Lin Shaojie's defense change, and he passed a non-stick pass. Angrily, Rivers scolded his mother and hurriedly used Barnes replace it.

As a veteran in 02, Matt Barnes has been wandering for many years, but what is amazing is that the second-round pick who started from the Clippers has become better and better in his wandering career. After ten years of wandering, he returned to the Clippers again. ferry.

The scoring average of almost single digits in his career gave off a second spring last season, and the average scoring reached 10+ levels. This season does not seem to be inferior to last season.

Nothing but age.

The most important thing is that Barnes is taller and heavier than Redick, and it is difficult for the latter to gain an advantage when facing Lin Shaojie.

The sense of talent crushing is really too strong.

After a season of nurturing, most defenders in the league have this feeling. If your talent is weaker than that of the Huaguo, then the Huaguo has never been stingy with his talent, shining like the sun.

Redick, who was "blinded", sat lonely on the sidelines.

At the beginning of the game, Collison was eaten to death, and changing defenses from time to time made him feel uncomfortable.

Transferring to the Clippers this season, his data performance is not bad, and he almost always starts.

But when facing the No. 13, JJ. Redick was really at a loss, just like Collison.

The first quarter of the game has not yet entered the rotation stage, and the Pacers have already achieved a double-digit lead. How should such a game be played?

But the amazing thing is that Barnes's appearance hardly reflects much in terms of statistics, no points, no assists, and no rebound data.

However, with his height of more than two meters and his mature experience, he may not have an advantage against Lin Shaojie, but facing George Hill and Paul George's breakthrough and distribution, the effect is immediate.

The Clippers' overall height advantage was immediately regained, and the scene looked much better.

This kind of old oil can't see much in him, but the form of the team has undergone tremendous changes.

When Lin Shaojie was replaced and the game entered the rotation period, the two sides played back and forth.

The Pacers' best sixth man Stephenson played against the Clippers' core substitute Crawford, and the two played equally well on the court.

One is a master of chaotic warfare, with excellent physical fitness, straight to the point;

One is like a lone wolf on the court. When Chris Paul is not around, no one can hold him down. If he has the ball in his hands, he will never leave. Everyone else is his supporting role, opening up space for him to play singles. Or catch and shoot.

In the second quarter, which lasted only 10 minutes, Crawford and Stephenson became the absolute protagonists of the bench.

However, the two back and forth could not help the team widen or close the point difference, and the two sides still maintained a gap of more than ten points.

Just when all the fans at the scene thought that the Pacers could win the game and win again, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

The Pacers got the frontcourt ball and just sent it out, Stephenson was a little careless, but Griffin found a chance to complete the steal.

But Griffin, who is possessed by a "tyrannosaurus rex", actually let the basketball slide out of the basket during a dragon's layup, which is called "rough!"

When players from both sides were vying for the rebound, West and Griffin, who arrived late, got into an entanglement, and for this basketball, they actually scuffled together.

In an instant, the court was full of enthusiasm, and the trash talk of greeting each other's matriarchal elders spread all over the court. Barnes, an old guy who has been around for many years, is familiar with such scenes. special.

Fortunately, the Pacers players are not vegetarians, and the referee intervened in a timely manner, which can be regarded as persuading the angry players on both sides.

West himself was furious. The performance of his teammates, especially Paul George's performance was not brave enough. He didn't hug Griffin at the first time, nor did he stop the angry two sides. West, who was hugged by Ernes, was almost hit by Griffin's "little short hand".

The coaches of both sides had to call a timeout, trying to help the players cool down.

When West walked off the court, Jordan Jr. was muttering something, lowered his head, and seemed to block West's way.

West, who was about to end the game, was still angry, thinking that the opponent was provocative, so he slammed him hard with his shoulder.

Little Jordan lowered his head and didn't notice that he was blocking someone at all. This impact was a bit unexpected, and he was knocked down on the bench in an instant.

The scene that had calmed down turned into chaos in an instant. Some players on the bench helped Jordan, and some stood up and rushed towards West. An's unbearable anger was like a volcano erupting again. .

"Stop them!"

Lin Shaojie, who was also sitting on the bench, hurriedly greeted his teammates. When the players around him heard this, they also rushed forward and quickly stopped the Clippers player who wanted to punch West.

Those people on the court were also agitated one by one, wishing to vent their anger.

Lin Shaojie himself did not expect that West, who was the least likely to make mistakes in the whole team, would become the time bomb of this game. Fortunately, his shout was very timely.

The chaos lasted for more than a minute, and it was not a big deal for the fans to watch the excitement one by one, but when the hustle and bustle finally calmed down, coupled with Lin Shaojie's appearance, with the help of both coaches and referees, the "smoke" on the court gradually dissipated go.

But for the Pacers, Hibbert was sent off the court directly, and they lost the core inside.

Moreover, it was clearly recorded on the big screen above the head that it was West who fouled first.

"What's the matter!"

A few minutes later Scola was hastily replaced, and West's figure had disappeared in the player channel.

Relying on Griffin's two free throws, the Clippers finally approached single digits for the first time in the game.

The appearance of Lin Shaojie made the low hearts of the fans restless again, but this time, without West, the Pacers, who had lost their morale, stagnated in the offense.

Lin Shaojie's pass went inside, and Hibbert was greeted by Jordan's big hat;

Passed to the free throw line, Paul George was actually interfered by Griffin from the flank when he broke through, and the basketball slid out of the basket;

Even Lin Shaojie's own long-range three-pointer was double-teamed, and the basketball spun twice on the rim and slid out.

The Clippers took the opportunity to fight back 11-0. In the end, if Lin Shaojie didn't go straight to the basket, successfully scored two points, and used fake moves to make Jordan foul, I am afraid that the Pacers would lose a point at this time.

Facing the increasingly powerful Clippers, the Pacers played so jerky for the first time this season. The damage caused to the Clippers in the first quarter almost went back the same way and was all returned to the Pacers.

Lin Shaojie was blocked by Crawford and Barnes, and his teammates didn't feel good, so he could only be forced to play singles, like a certain No. 24 player.

At this time, as long as there is one person who can receive Lin Shaojie's pass, the Pacers will not play so ugly up and down.

But in the past, the reliable West was sent out, and Scola, who came off the bench, was "taken care of" very well in the interior, and the opponent didn't give him a chance to start.

Lin Shaojie's breakthrough is still sharp. Even if he finally faces an inside lineup like Griffin and Jordan Jr., he can use a shining goal to help the Pacers chase points.

But this kind of offense is not normal. The Pacers are not stacking star tactics. They don't need one person to play and four people to watch. This situation is very abnormal.

Before the end of the three quarters, Frank replaced Lin Shaojie. The latter said that he could try a long-range three-pointer. He was confident of winning the final victory, but Frank shook his head.

"No need, we can't afford to lose. We won this game, but what about the next game? The players need to relieve pressure. They are too tired to play. We can't rely on you alone. That's not a good idea. "

Lin Shaojie finally nodded, watching Stephenson, who replaced him, become a mess in the chaos.

Frank didn't seem to see it all.

"It's nothing, let them fight casually, maybe it will be better after fighting this time!"

Paul George on the court was also replaced after 2 minutes. Chris Paul, who was sitting in front of the TV, saw this scene in front of him, and he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Is this going to hand over the fruits of victory?

Paul looked at this scene in disbelief, but when the referee blew his whistle, neither No. 13 nor Paul George played, and Conseco Arena was filled with frustrated eyes from fans.

The Pacers lost their first home game and their first loss of the season.

The Clippers players hugged and celebrated, and the Pacers players seemed to have almost lost their energy.
