My basketball vision is different
Chapter 386 18 consecutive victories
After the All-Star Game, the Pacers once again won eight consecutive victories. Counting the previous victories, it is another luxurious record of seventeen consecutive victories.
For the things that other teams dream of, on the Pacers this season, everything seems so ordinary. No one can ignore the previous 38 consecutive victories achieved by the Pacers. Therefore, in front of such a record, 17 consecutive victories is just better than nothing.
More importantly, compared with the previous 38-game winning streak, no one can see the decline of the Pacers under the current winning streak. Get regular.
Evan Turner has successfully stepped onto the bench, and the coveted Bynum is also gradually recovering on the training ground and may appear on the field at any time.
The strong Pacers are galloping on the fast lane of the league, making their last effort to defend their title this season.
Green's words as a "nobody" are just an inconspicuous part of Lin Shaojie's honor roll this season, and not many people take these as anything.
The reverence for super giants is a must-have course for those "little rookies".
As for whether Green and Lin Shaojie are in the same rookie class, it is not considered a rookie sequence. Similar information has not attracted too much attention. Anyway, the 12th class is the most underestimated class in more than ten years. If it can be re-elected, walk The winner's No. 13 can definitely win the No. [-] spot.
But looking back, even if there is a re-election, I am afraid that apart from Popovich of the Spurs, Larry Bird dares to make a big bet and win the No. 13!
You know, a "non-champion pick" pick is not just as simple as No. 3. The annual salary behind this, the importance of the team, etc., can make this position hot.
Even if he returns to the draft scene in 12, the one who can win the No. [-] pick is still the very distinctive guy with long eyebrows.
Even if Larry Bird bought Lin Shaojie with "heavy money", it would be better than spinach.
When the managers of most teams see Huaguo players for the first time, what they get is not approval, but a look of doubt. Even in the eyes of most fans, is the team choosing a Huaguo player for the sake of The other party's market is nothing more than that.
The appearance of Lin Shaojie has greatly improved this doubt. At least Huaguo players, in addition to the little giants, can also be good at the back line.
As the Pacers' biggest challenge in the Eastern Conference, the Heat have always wanted to return to the first position, but when their record came to 43 wins and 15 losses, they were stable at second in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat know their future is only a theoretical possibility.
For the remaining 57 or so games, unless the Pacers lose 3%, it is almost impossible for the Heat to jump to the No. field.
Now the Pacers only need to win 10 more games in the remaining games to completely cut off the Heat's delusion in theory.
And everyone knows that for the Pacers today, what they are after is not the number one record in the regular season, what they want to challenge is the Bulls' league record.
If the Heat have this heart, they can cheer up.
But in fact, the Heat lost completely in the next away game against the Spurs.
The Heat first lost to the Rockets with a score of 103 to 106, and then after traveling from Houston to San Antonio, they lost to the seasoned Spurs in an away game.
With a score of 87 to 111, there is no suspense about losing.
LeBron turned into a mask man and put on the transparent mask.
Lin Shaojie also wore it, but the difference in appearance between the two was too great. On Twitter, I don’t know how many fake fans used it for horizontal comparison, which made LeBron’s fans furious.
They can't say that "basketball depends on strength, not appearance."
The main thing is that the Heat this season can't compare with the Pacers in terms of strength. Although the appearance is only a side effect, they lost too thoroughly.
In the main event of the East and West held in San Antonio, the Heat were completely overwhelmed by the Spurs, giving their opponents a wave of 12 to 2 in the opening game.
When Duncan faced Oden, the striker whom the Heat had been looking for for a long time, he shot 13 points in a quarter with a ticket, which made Oden deeply troubled by fouls. He only scored 4 points in the game, which was terrible.
Even if LeBron himself wants to hit the inside, he has to send a foul under Duncan's old-fashioned experience.
In this game, LeBron's technical shortcomings were undoubtedly exposed. After four fouls, the Heat's hope of trying to make a comeback sank in Duncan's stern jumper.
Duncan scored 23 points in this game, but only used 13 shots.
LeBron scored the Heat's second-highest score.
19 points!
But it took 18 shots. If it weren't for the 9 free throws that allowed him to score 7 points, LeBron only scored 12 points in the sports game.
Wade also took 15 shots and scored only 16 points.
Bosh's performance is really eye-catching. It can be said that the "Dragon King" in this game is the last face of the Heat's Big Three. His performance is crucial, otherwise the Heat will be disarmed before halfway through the third quarter. Surrender.
The main players played like this, and the Heat's bench was even more horrible. Many players scored 0 points, including the old captain Haslem.
Looking at the Spurs' bench, it can't be said that everyone scored in double figures, but everyone can still score, except for a very few players who only played for 2 minutes to test the waters.
For example, Splitter changed from the starting lineup to the substitute player, played only ten minutes, and scored 4 points in 7 calls. The efficiency value is still good.
Comparing the two, the depth of the Heat's bench is equal to none. In the playoffs, such a team still has to rely on the Big Three to open the way. What is there to look forward to.
Counting and counting, one Beasley, one Ray Allen, plus one "Birdman" Anderson.
There is almost no one available on the Heat's bench. It's no wonder LeBron doesn't call out much. They lack too much. The second place in the Eastern Conference is completely achieved by relying on the main core. .
Then compare the core of the Pacers horizontally. Paul George played the most minutes, averaging only 35 minutes per game.
For "lazy" people like Lin Shaojie, after recent games, it can be said that the average playing time per game has been lowered again. Isn't it promised to explode?
Why is there no movement!
Anyway, the Heat, which lost two games in a row, once in and out, once again lowered their hopes.
It's the Pacers' turn. In the next two games, the Pacers have to face the Charlotte Bobcats and the Houston Rockets on the road.
This game against the Bobcats was a little weird.
The Bobcats are the strangest team in the Eastern Conference this season. They actually ushered in a record of four consecutive victories after the All-Star Game. However, the record of 27 wins and 33 losses is just to show off in the Eastern Conference. In the Western Conference, that is the playoffs It is impossible to get in.
But relying on such results, the Bobcats still rank among the top eight in the Eastern Conference, even better than the Hawks and the Knicks.
After the start of the game, Paul George, as a star who has felt hot recently, ushered in an embarrassing statistic for the whole game.
He made 9 of 0 shots and played a total of 34 minutes. Paul George only relied on free throws to score 2 points.
2 point?
Yes, you read that right, 2 points.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Shaojie scored 23 assists in the last game against the Warriors. The assist data in this game plummeted to only 13, which is exactly the same as the fan number behind him.
Although the data of 13 assists is absolutely qualified for a point guard, it seems very abnormal for a player like Lin Shaojie.
After the whole game, Paul George seemed to be sleepwalking, and suddenly he was in poor condition, as if he had sucked too many leaves, but everyone knew that Paul George didn't touch this thing.
Sometimes luck is so strange that it is unimaginable.
On the contrary, it was another starter. George Hill performed outstandingly in this game. In addition, Stephenson's state is still qualified. Substitute Scola made 5 of 3 shots. Lin Shaojie scored good assist statistics for these players. .
Another surprise is David West. His touch was not good in this game, and he made 14 of 4 shots. Faced with this situation, the Bobcats of course tried their best to double-team Lin Shaojie.
Fortunately, Lin Shaojie did not say anything, and finally led the team to a score of 81 to 77, narrowly beating the opponent by 4 points.
The 81 points scored by the Pacers also set a new low for this season.
This is another record for the Pacers after the All-Star game.
For Paul George, this was an extremely embarrassing game for him. Although it was an away game, the away fans did not give up mocking him.
If Indiana regards Paul George as a treasure, then Charlotte regards Paul George as a "grass!"
"That's it?"
This is everyone's doubts after the game, and the Pacers' "secondary leader" lost all face.
The house leak coincided with the rain all night, and they moved to the Toyota Center. When the Pacers faced the Rockets, they encountered trouble again.
If they win this game, the gap between them and the Heat will be further widened.
But in such a game, the Rockets at home used their strength to return to the top three in the Western Conference, and abruptly won the victory over the Pacers, the league's No.
When Harden was locked up by Lin Shaojie in the first quarter, the second and third quarters broke out completely, scoring 20 points and 3 steals in just over two quarters.
As Lin Shaojie's substitute, Stephenson made 8 of 2 shots in the game and only scored 4 points.
No matter how popular Stephenson is in the market, he is just a substitute after all, barely able to squeeze into the sequence of players with "false tens of millions of annual salary".
Against the backdrop of the opponent, Paul George took 14 shots and only entered the frame 3 times. He scored 10 points with free throws in the whole game, which can be regarded as saving face.
Lin Shaojie once again encountered the crazy double-teaming of his opponent, but this time, no one stood up to share the burden for Lin Shaojie.
David West's performance was much better than the previous game, but his shooting percentage was less than 15%, and he only scored [-] points.
With 10 shots, Lin Shaojie scored a team-high 19 points and 16 assists, which can only be said to be barely qualified.
On the other hand, the Rockets' Harden scored a game-high 28 points and was the number one contributor to the Rockets' victory. The much-anticipated Howard did not perform well, but he also scored 15 points.
Lin Crazy came off the bench with 11 points left.
In this game, the Rockets apparently won Harden, but in fact it was the bench that won.
Under the management of a certain thunder, the current rocket can be regarded as a strong army.
The most important thing is the home game advantage, allowing their substitutes to score more than [-] points. The Pacers' substitutes are not considered weak, but it is a pity that the main players are "loose."
Frank's substitutions were still not decisive enough, allowing Paul George and others to occupy too much playing time on the court, and in the end there were not many left for the substitutes.
With a score of 89 to 102, the Pacers lost impeccably.
It also brought their 18-game winning streak to an end.
"It turns out that the Pacers are not invincible!"
The Pacers who swallowed the fourth defeat of the season on the Rockets, facing the remaining 19 games, the Pacers can't lose much.
In [-], the Bulls only lost ten games in one season. If they want to break this record, the Pacers still have a great possibility, but they have lost four games, only six games "can be operational" space.
In these two games, Paul George's unexpected "thunderstorm" surprised everyone.
The record of one win and one loss is not a reflection of the strength of the Pacers. Even though Lin Shaojie is recognized as a superior player among the players, it is still difficult to restore the team's defeat.
When those opponents began to double-team him frantically, Paul George's "sinking" made Pacers fans cast a shadow over the winning percentage of the next game.
Perhaps, the remaining 19 games are not so easy to play.
On March 3, the Pacers, who left Houston, took a short rest in Dallas and faced the Mavericks at home, launching a "salvation" campaign.
Before the start of the game, the reporters' criticism of Paul George never stopped. Almost all of them took the Pacers' failure in the previous game as the reason for him.
Fortunately, during yesterday's rest period, Paul George accepted the "coaching" from Frank, Lin Shaojie and others, and did not take these words to heart.
After the game started, Lin Shaojie also tried his best to play for Paul George. The starting five core wanted Paul George to use practical actions to slap those journalists who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.
As the opponent, the Mavericks sent out their aging fighters. Nowitzki can continue to fight, and with the addition of Marion, and with the help of Monta Ellis...
On paper, the Mavericks' five-man starting lineup is not a challenge.
On the one hand, Nowitzki is old, and West and Hibbert in the Pacers team can take turns to limit him and push him out of the paint as much as possible.
The Mavericks' center Dalembert is not that kind of powerful player, and the ball possession is not high, so he is defeated by a player like Hibbert.
Both Calderon and Ellis are Lin Shaojie's "little luck," the former two regard Lin Shaojie as the master of suffering, no matter who they are, they will be careful.
The fact is also true. After the start of the game, the Pacers felt full of oppression. Lin Shaojie's display of strength on the defensive end prevented Calderon and Ellis from playing any effective cooperation.
In contrast to the Pacers' offense, Paul George reversed the decline in the previous two games, rushed inside from time to time, and hit a heavy dunk on Dalembert's head.
In the first quarter of the game, Paul George scored two free throws and grabbed two offensive rebounds, all of which were scored on Dalembert's head.
The old Mavericks were completely unable to play an effective offense under Paul George's crazy offensive.
But it was precisely because of Paul George's excessive impact that he even had a slam dunk that landed without cushioning in the confrontation. The fans in front of the TV watched it very refreshingly, but Frank and Lin Shaojie on the court had a headache watching it.
Sure enough, Paul George felt slight discomfort after landing, and was replaced by Stephenson during the rotation.
Lin Shaojie also went down at the same time, and Evan Turner got a chance to play.
Usually at this time, Paul George can continue to stand on the court and struggle, but at this time, Frank wants Paul George to rest.
During this rotation period, the offensive duo composed of the Mavericks' Devin Harris and "Uncle Carter" completely overwhelmed the players during the Pacers' rotation.
The Pacers, who originally had an advantage in the lineup and could rank first in the league as a substitute, were defeated in an instant by the Mavericks' rotation.
The kind of defeat like a mountain, no one can predict the situation happened.
The Pacers, who still had an absolute advantage in the first quarter, were left behind by their opponents at the end of the halftime, and the score became 52 to 43.
The gap of 9 points is not that big, but when Lin Shaojie came on the court in the third quarter with Paul George who said he didn't care, the Pacers were still crushed by the Mavericks at that moment.
The Mavericks' threat to Lin Shaojie is very direct, that is, double-teaming.
Whether it is Ellis, Carter, or Harris and others, the prerequisite for them to attack on the court is to get the opponent on the defensive end.
As long as that No. 13 is present, he will never relax his guard.
Lin Shaojie was troubled by the opponent's repeated double-teaming, but Lin Shaojie was not afraid of this situation, and the Pacers players could also stand up, but none of this could stop the fiery touch of Harris and others on the opposite side.
Harris is like a master today, making 6 of 4 three-pointers and scoring 24 points during the rotation alone, far more than Ellis who started the game.
Carter also scored more than ten points. His three-point shooting percentage is not high, but his mid-range shots are scary.
The "old guy" can still actively deal with it on the defensive end at his age, not at all like the "dunk general" in his impression.
The change in playing style allowed Carter to still gallop on the court.
After halfway through the score in the fourth quarter, Paul George once again expressed his untimely footsteps after completing the dunk during the point-chasing period, and Frank raised his hand and surrendered.
Paul George was helped down by Lin Shaojie. Although it looked like a minor injury, no one questioned it. Lin Shaojie also took good care of the "Second Leader."
Like a patient who hasn't caught a cold for a long time, the Pacers can't lose Paul George yet.
Seeing Lin Shaojie off the court, the Mavericks finally completed a wave of offense. Ellis, who hadn't played much before, attacked the Pacers' inside line in turn. He scored 7 points in less than half a quarter, bringing his total score to 25 points. , became the highest in the audience.
When the whistle blew, the home fans cheered. The Pacers, who are invincible in the league, lost their first consecutive loss this season to the Dallas Mavericks.
For the things that other teams dream of, on the Pacers this season, everything seems so ordinary. No one can ignore the previous 38 consecutive victories achieved by the Pacers. Therefore, in front of such a record, 17 consecutive victories is just better than nothing.
More importantly, compared with the previous 38-game winning streak, no one can see the decline of the Pacers under the current winning streak. Get regular.
Evan Turner has successfully stepped onto the bench, and the coveted Bynum is also gradually recovering on the training ground and may appear on the field at any time.
The strong Pacers are galloping on the fast lane of the league, making their last effort to defend their title this season.
Green's words as a "nobody" are just an inconspicuous part of Lin Shaojie's honor roll this season, and not many people take these as anything.
The reverence for super giants is a must-have course for those "little rookies".

Whether it is Ellis, Carter, or Harris and others, the prerequisite for them to attack on the court is to get the opponent on the defensive end.
As long as that No. 13 is present, he will never relax his guard.
Lin Shaojie was troubled by the opponent's repeated double-teaming, but Lin Shaojie was not afraid of this situation, and the Pacers players could also stand up, but none of this could stop the fiery touch of Harris and others on the opposite side.
Harris is like a master today, making 6 of 4 three-pointers and scoring 24 points during the rotation alone, far more than Ellis who started the game.
Carter also scored more than ten points. His three-point shooting percentage is not high, but his mid-range shots are scary.
The "old guy" can still actively deal with it on the defensive end at his age, not at all like the "dunk general" in his impression.
The change in playing style allowed Carter to still gallop on the court.
After halfway through the score in the fourth quarter, Paul George once again expressed his untimely footsteps after completing the dunk during the point-chasing period, and Frank raised his hand and surrendered.
Paul George was helped down by Lin Shaojie. Although it looked like a minor injury, no one questioned it. Lin Shaojie also took good care of the "Second Leader."
Like a patient who hasn't caught a cold for a long time, the Pacers can't lose Paul George yet.
Seeing Lin Shaojie off the court, the Mavericks finally completed a wave of offense. Ellis, who hadn't played much before, attacked the Pacers' inside line in turn. He scored 7 points in less than half a quarter, bringing his total score to 25 points. , became the highest in the audience.
When the whistle blew, the home fans cheered. The Pacers, who are invincible in the league, lost their first consecutive loss this season to the Dallas Mavericks.
