My basketball vision is different

The Pacers lost for the first time this season.

When the referee's whistle blew, the players couldn't believe it.

It's not that they can't accept failure, but they can't accept two consecutive defeats.

For them this season, the word "failure" is a long time ago. They lost three games intermittently before, but they were exhausted after 38 consecutive victories and made a slight adjustment.

It's only going so far now, it's just 18 consecutive victories, even Paul George, who left the field early, feels incredible.

In the past, it was Lin Shaojie who tried his best to turn the tide and save the Pacers from the fire and water. What happened today?

But thinking about his performance on the bench, Paul George couldn't put the responsibility on Lin Shaojie.

As the core of the Pacers, before Lin Shaojie returned to the locker room, the reporters stopped him on the court, wanting to ask him related questions.

"I'm sorry, I just want to know the situation of 'Pickled Pepper'. If there are any questions, we will answer them at the press conference."

Squeezing out the "living" space from the reporters, under the cover of his teammates, Lin Shaojie returned to the locker room.

The game was lost, but the good news is that Paul George is fine, and he can recover in about three days.

I just don't know if the "Second Master" will be able to make an appearance in the next home game against the Celtics.

This news is undoubtedly a blessing in misfortune for everyone.

At the press conference after the game, the reporters seemed quite excited. The Pacers won the game and really didn't have any topics, but they lost, which is what the masses like to hear.

"Lynn, what do you think about this loss?"

Frank, as the coach, is almost ignored in front of the stage. Against the background of a "top class" in the league, the role of the Pacers coach is equivalent to the man behind LeBron.

In the eyes of many people, could it be that this is a puppet?

But only the master and apprentice knew that it was all groundless speculation by the bad media.

Frank doesn't mind such speculation, just like Lin Shaojie doesn't mind his playing time and whether he starts.

Everyone has only one purpose, to help the team win until the final cup.

"If Frank hadn't told me that this was our fifth loss this season, seeing your expressions, I would have thought that we would have lost the qualification for the playoffs."

Lin Shaojie spread his arms, and responded indifferently.

A group of excited reporters discovered that it turned out...this is just the fifth loss of the Pacers this season, so why should they be happy.

Besides, everyone could see that for the Pacers, they lost a bit wrongly in this game.

"For your substitute lineup, Lynn, will you express dissatisfaction after the game?"

A reporter said eagerly: "In this game, your performance during the rotation period fell into a disadvantage..."

You know, as the Pacers' opponent, the Mavericks may not be able to make it to the playoffs this season.

According to the practice of the West, there is no winning rate of more than [-]%, and you don't have to think about the playoffs at all.

Although the current record of the Mavericks is not bad, but the winning rate barely exceeds [-]%, which is far from that kind of security.

After all, Nowitzki is one year older, and his state has declined visible to the naked eye. Now the Mavericks' offense is actually supported by a "newcomer" Ellis.

But whether it's the coach or the players who have watched the game, they have to admire it.

The performance of the Mavericks in this game is really "the son of destiny," and Harris can be regarded as an explosion accumulated over the years.

This kid actually scored 24 points in this game. As a substitute, his score ranked second in the game, second only to Ellis' 25 points in "garbage time".

In terms of the gold content of the score, Ellis is far inferior to Devin Harris.

Looking at the Mavericks' substitutes, they helped the home team get more than [-] points during the rotation period. It can be said that the success of the Mavericks stems from the performance of these humble "small role" players.

On the other hand, the Pacers who lost, after this game, all the substitutes except Stephenson, including Scola, all pulled their hips.

Evan Turner played more than 2 minutes and scored... [-] points.

Scola close to two 10 minutes... 1 point.

Gobert's 8, 1 minutes... [-] point.

Mahinmi... 1 point.

In other words, after excluding the 19 points scored by Stephenson, the best sixth man, the Pacers' other substitutes only scored 5 points in total. Even with Stephenson's score, it was only 24 points. It looks just as good as Devon Harris alone.

The Pacers with a "deep" lineup are nothing more than that?

No one thought before the game that the Pacers' substitutes in this game would give such an answer when the main players were playing normally.

"After losing the game, I know the fans will have some complaints. After all, we gave them a lot of expectations. This is my reason. If I scored more, maybe the result would be different."

Lin Shaojie seemed to take responsibility easily.

"It's true that some players are not in good form because of our back-to-back away games.

For us at present, some players only joined this season, or even came in around the All-Stars, which always requires a period of adaptation.

They have performed very well before and cannot criticize them for a defeat.

So the responsibility is not theirs. There is no need for the fans to blame them. Believe us, believe in the Pacers, we will return to home next game and we will usher in a victory. "

Lin Shaojie took the responsibility as always. Anyway, he would say that when the Pacers lost, and outsiders didn't know what happened in the locker room.

But those traditional veteran footballers can see that Lin Shaojie's "style" is definitely a model for players in the new era.

You are the core of the team, so you have to take responsibility, even if you scold them bloody in the locker room, but you can't accuse the coach or teammates in public, that's irresponsible.

Otherwise, did you give you such a high salary to let you come to the theater?

Well, this one is over, Lin Shaojie is getting a rookie salary, so there is no way to match this one.

In fact, they gave you such a high team status, didn't they let you lead the team to win?

This alone should be a clear understanding of the self by all cores.

Any operations such as dumping the pot must be cast aside.

The reporters felt that it was a pity. Lin Shaojie was able to criticize his teammates after any defeat, which would definitely attract a wave of enthusiasm in the media, but the Chinese people did not give them this opportunity.

As for the Pacers' substitute today, he played like shit, and no one blamed him?If it were other teams, they would be scolded as sieves.

The reporters felt uncomfortable as if they were holding their breath in their chests and couldn't get out.

But after thinking about it, this is Lin Shaojie's routine operation. If you say that this person is hypocritical and too fake, but he has a high status in the Pacers locker room. Who doesn't love such a "boss" who can take responsibility even if he fails?

……

After 62 rounds, the Celtics, who had a record of 21 wins and 41 losses, almost completely lost hope of the playoffs.

Although theoretically there is still a slight possibility, as long as Kyle's men win the next [-] games, then they still have hope of entering the playoffs.

But everyone knows that this is impossible, even after Rajon Rondo returns from injury.

In yesterday's home game, the Celtics narrowly beat the Pistons. Rajon Rondo scored an exaggerated 11 points and 18 assists at home without a single turnover.

If there is no No. 13 for the Pacers in the East, then Rondo is the well-deserved No. [-] point guard in the East.

It seems that there is no problem with the strategic policy of the Green Shirts to support Lang's guidance. He is the only giant in the team after the departure of the Big Three of the Celtics.

But the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference is still not safe. Now the No. [-] in the league is not him, but the "Paul" of the Clippers.

As for why it is not No. 13 of the Pacers, because of Lin Shaojie's versatility, the media has gradually listed him as a separate evaluation, and he is the only active player who can receive this treatment.

Looking back at Lang's guidance, even with his strength, the Celtics flocked to the team he pursued after the rumors that he might enter the market were exposed in the market.

Now, "Guide Lang" and other teammates and coach Brad Stevens have watched the Pacers' away game against the Mavericks.

"You know? We are paying attention to such opponents because they have many merits and are worth learning from."

"Young Marshal" Stevens tapped on the "small blackboard" in front of him, indicating that this was the subject of key records.

"I think, in the eyes of the coaches of the Spurs, Thunder and Heat, as long as they have time, they will pay attention to the Pacers' game, but they see the Pacers as opponents in the finals, and we can only treat them. Treat it as our next opponent.

What we have to do now is to find a way to defeat this difficult opponent and win a victory from them. "

The Celtics' next opponent is the Pacers, and it's an away game. Before today, they couldn't even find a weapon that could restrain their opponents, but today's game seemed to give them a little hope.

"Do you think that such Pacers are not invincible? Even because Paul George is injured, we still have a chance to steal the victory from them?"

Hearing what the coach said, many of the Celtics players expressed the meaning of "the coach really understands me".

"But I want to tell you that the failure is an illusion, and the Pacers' failure is a deception."

Stevens said surprisingly, even the serious Rajon Rondo turned his eyes away from the TV screen and stared at the coach in front of him.

"First of all, we can't ignore the Pacers just because they lost.

This game can be said to be an accident. In addition to the problem of the Pacers' substitute performance, Paul George's end due to injury is another incentive, but what we cannot ignore is..."

Stevens pointed to the number 13 on the court and said to other players.

"Did you see Lynn? In this game, he was double-teamed by the Mavericks players. It can be said that as long as he is on the court, the Mavericks will not have a moment for the opponent to relax, from the beginning to the end.

In such an environment, Lynn still scored the third highest score of the game with 23 points and 15 assists.

But he only took a few shots. Can you see how amazing his efficiency is?

I believe that with his strength, it doesn't matter if he let go of the fight, even if he is double-teamed, it is because the opponent has this strength.

Look at how his goals come from. "

As he spoke, Stevens manually manipulated the images in front of him, and some of the images he was concerned about were replayed individually.

Lin Shaojie was facing Ellis and Calderon, and Marion was watching eagerly. He can be said to have completed the shot under the double-team of the three.

Different from previous jump shots, this time Lin Shaojie turned his body sideways, completely isolating the two defenders from the front, with the end of his high and straight arm shaking his wrist to send out the basketball.

The slender wingspan completely ignores the opponent's blocking.

"Hook?"

The players exclaimed.

Although this technique has not disappeared, there are not many people who can use it proficiently, and most of them are inside players.

"That's right, it's a hook!"

Stevens said with emotion: "This is only the second season of that guy, but in this game, he made 7 of 5 hook shots and scored 11 points with this, including a 2+1.

Let me ask you, what are you doing in your second year?

His shooting skills are the most comprehensive I have ever seen, and every one of them can be called a master player. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a kaleidoscope of offense. "

Offensive kaleidoscope is actually not a very top-level title. Most of them refer to the many moves used in the game, and they are all good, but in general, none of the skills are at the historical level.

Jordan and Kobe are not counted, their technology and body are combined too well.

LeBron is not counted either, he can only be regarded as physical flow, and he cannot be ranked in terms of technology alone, but standing on the court can give full play to his physical advantages to the greatest extent.

In active service, Durant is not counted, because he can't play singles with his back, just like Nowitzki rarely breaks through the frame. He has shortcomings. If he finds someone who can restrain himself, he will be caught by the opponent and hurt his feet. , it is easy to lose its own advantages.

Lin Shaojie looks a bit like an offensive kaleidoscope, but his skills are very similar to Joe's gang leader, with huge lethality on both offensive and defensive ends. If it weren't for the short accumulation of time, many of his movement skills could be called textbooks.

For example, Lin Shaojie's rhythm and step back, everyone knows that Lin Shaojie is a player with outstanding talent, but when he is not using his talent, Lin Shaojie can throw off defenders by relying on his own rhythm.

Moreover, Lin Shaojie's shooting is very deceptive, and the defender cannot keep up with the opponent's speed.

There are also post-up singles, Lin Shaojie in the low post can be called a big killer...

Purely from a technical point of view, an offensive kaleidoscope like Anthony or Pierce can keep up with Lin Shaojie, but these two are old, and in the current arena, one-on-one also exposed their gradual decline. , can no longer keep up with the footsteps of young people.

In addition, from the perspective of the team building of the two well-known kaleidoscopes, Pierce is more suitable than Anthony, but the latter has a higher market value and is more profitable, but it is much inferior in terms of team leadership.

When it comes to pure technology, these two people are all standard kaleidoscopes. Fortunately, they both have their own nirvana.

"Melo"'s three-threat mid-range shot, Pierce's help defense.

In any case, the skills of these two people are rare in active service. Of course, from a spiritual perspective, Pierce should be better and have a stronger sense of teamwork.

"Lynn not only showed his hook in this game, but also his front body change."

Stevens singled it out. On the screen, Lin Shaojie faced the defense of Ellis and Calderon. After two consecutive changes of direction, he threw away the defense of the two, which was also a rare frontal breakthrough in this game.

Lin Shaojie, who went straight to the inside, completed the shot before Dalembert made up the defense. The movement was clean and not sloppy.

"See? For any point guard, if they can have such a partner, what they can gain is an average of 15+ assists per game.

Lynn's offensive skills are very concise, and in my impression, even surpassed those of Kobe and Anthony.As for the current Irving and Harden, their actions are either too fancy, or they take advantage of the rules.

Put it ten years ago, or even 20 years ago, I am sure that Lynn will definitely be able to survive in the league, and he will live very well, but like Irving or even Harden, at most he can only be a qualified starter. It's almost impossible to be super giant. "

After finishing speaking, Stephenson shrugged his shoulders: "This is what I want to say, Lynn and the Pacers' uniform team have deceived us. If Frank gave Lin Shaojie the absolute right to fire, the Pacers would definitely win the game. I don't know why, but Lynn would rather assist his teammates than minimize his shot rights.

In the Pacers, he is the only option.If we try to solve the Pacers with double-team tactics, I think we will lose miserably in the end. "

……

Lin Shaojie, who landed in Indianapolis, did not return home immediately, but followed the team back to the base.

Larry Bird greeted everyone at the door. Seeing the Pacers' Ti Shanghuang, everyone who lost the game seemed a little uncomfortable.

Everyone knows that the current dream of "Big Bird" is to break the Bulls' record and then successfully defend the title.

But everyone made his dream violently turbulent.

For the Pacers team, they still have 19 regular season games left to play, leaving only "4" games left for them to lose.

Among the remaining opponents, there are many top opponents such as the Spurs, Heat, and Thunder, especially the Heat. The Pacers have two games to play.

In addition, the Grizzlies are also somewhat restrained by the Pacers, and the Pistons can be regarded as one of the "old enemies". Of course, if Lin Shaojie can fully fire, these opponents should not have problems.

And the quota of 4 losses is the last hope of the Pacers. Losing one more game is not perfect. How the Pacers can avoid entering this regrettable season, everyone is working hard for it.

It's a pity...the moon waxes and wanes.
