After drinking and eating, Lin Shaojie sent off the Spurs soldiers.

On the way back home, taking advantage of the night breeze along the way, he had to have some conversations with Frank on the phone.

Frank, who was still in the base office late at night, was also waiting for the call.

Although the current record of the Pacers is better than that of the Spurs, Frank does not have the confidence to win.

Hibbert is not as good as Duncan. He is most worried about Paul George. The unstable state of the second in command has never been something worth hiding;

Stephenson is a master of chaos, but facing a mature team like the Spurs, it is absolutely impossible to fight a "chaos".

There is also George Hill, he is a player from the Spurs, and he belongs to the kind of player who is easily restrained by nature;

During those years in the Rockets, Scola was also taught to be a good man by the Spurs;

As for West's old age and experience, he lost all his advantages in front of the Spurs.

For these problems, Frank was far more stressed than the outside world thought. With the cards in his hand, except for Lin Shaojie's "King Bomb", he was almost not sure of winning.

"I talked to them, and personally, Parker is the best, Duncan and Manu are average."

Frank can't say when, he is used to inquiring about news from Lin Shaojie, which sounds a bit strange, but the information collected from Lin Shaojie is far more practical and critical than the information obtained from scouts and the information team .

"So we target Duncan and Ginobili?"

Frank suggested on the phone.

"Although the state is not good, Duncan's adjustment ability is very strong. Ginobili is likely to play off the bench, and I can clearly feel that they will let Leonard defend me closely. kind."

When Frank heard this, he felt a little overwhelmed. In his impression, there is no league player who can lock Lin Shaojie.

But there are still players who can cause trouble for Lin Shaojie.

LeBron is one, but LeBron has never been the player who is "willing to contribute". He is obviously an old man, but his idol has a heavy burden. It is impossible for him to put more energy on defense and make himself a blue-collar player;

Of course Kobe is also counted, but after all, he is old, and he is easily bullied by Lin Shaojie;

Durant actually has this ability, but unfortunately he is far from Lin Shaojie in terms of strength, so it is easy to be deflated. It is impossible for the Thunder coach to make him willingly give up offense and immerse himself in defense, although Durant himself wants to do so;

The Leonard in front of him is that player, and it can even be said to be the only one.

Static talent is better than Lin Shaojie, but at the same time he is willing to contribute silently, and he is not disturbed by Lin Shaojie's words. It can be said that such a player can simply put pressure on Lin Shaojie in defense.

And more importantly, the Spurs' system can greatly improve such defensive efficiency.

Even if other teams have a single defensive leader, such as Tony Allen, under the running of Lin Shaojie, the Grizzlies' outside fighter will always be disturbed. The Pacers are only worried about damage to the inside. Can't play an absolute role.

Although Leonard has become an indispensable part of the Spurs right now, he can be regarded as the "middle" link of the Spurs at best, while Lin Shaojie is the core of the Pacers.

Under Tian Ji's horse racing tactics, Frank would only feel a headache.

......

The Spurs came to Indiana with a brilliant record of undefeated in March and 17 consecutive victories.

The Pacers are undefeated so far after swallowing a two-game losing streak in March.

In terms of the overall record, the Pacers must have the upper hand, but judging from the recent situation, the Spurs are more sophisticated.

The group from Zhuantai got a seat in the box of Consec Arena before the game. It was also the first time for Li Dacheng to sit in front of the commentary stand and became a temporary special commentator, just like during the All-Star period.

"Dacheng, what do you think about this fight between dragons and tigers?"

Zhang Weiping, an old face, appeared in the beautiful country scene, and he also performed well as an All-Star. Zhuantai intends to send him here permanently.

After all, Li Dacheng has two jobs, and sometimes it is not as convenient as his own people.

And Li Dacheng really couldn't show off in front of this old professional, even if everyone knew that he was Lin Shaojie's "personal" reporter, it was useless.

"Director Zhang, since it's a fight between dragons and tigers, it's hard to predict the outcome of the competition."

Although it was the first time for Li Dacheng to stand on such a stage, he has been a reporter for many years, and he has experienced this kind of turmoil. In addition, Xin Lang attaches great importance to this game, and he can be regarded as "two sets of teams."

"However, based on my understanding of Lin Shaojie and the fact that this is the Pacers' home game, I still think that the Pacers will win in the end."

Li Dacheng's words seemed to reassure the fans, but when the words "but" came, the hearts of the fans in front of the TV trembled again.

"But... I don't know how much playing time Frank will give Lin Shaojie as the coach."

When Li Dacheng said this, he also seemed a little helpless.

"If the Pacers and the Spurs can be stable on the scene, then based on what I know about Frank, he doesn't mind letting Lin Shaojie play the whole game, but if the Pacers are at a disadvantage at home, Frank may 'hide his clumsiness.'"

Li Dacheng's words worried everyone.

"Currently the Spurs are in good shape and aggressive. Overall, they did not lose to the Pacers. Overseas media regard this game as an early stage of the finals. I don't think so.

Paul George was injured before, and Hibbert was also "attacked by LeBron" in the game against the Heat, plus West's age is not young.

The most important thing is that the Pacers' record is here. Even if they lose the game, they don't need to care about losing to opponents like the Spurs. At this stage, avoiding injuries is the most important thing.

With a team like the Spurs, if you really fight until the last minute to win during the regular season, it is undoubtedly not worth the loss. I don’t think Frank will take such a risk, he is not the kind of person who likes to take risks..."

Usually, the Spurs are afraid that the injury of their veteran will affect their record, so it is impossible to fight against a young team like the Pacers.Now it seems that the Pacers are also afraid of fighting a war of attrition.

Before the game, Popovich took the initiative to stand up and say hello to Frank, which made the latter somewhat flattered.

In the professional field, Popovich is more popular than champion coaches like "Zen Master". Come really.

"You have a good player!"

Hearing this, Frank could only respond with a smile, and then looked at Popovich who had said hello, and patted Lin Shaojie on the back vigorously. His intimate appearance made the audience in front of the TV stare hot.

"Hey, look at my family's Lin Gouzi, now he is coached by Lin. At first, I thought everything would be fine if he could enter the professional arena. Now, he is not at home or abroad at all, and the NBA is also flourishing. The distance between me and him is getting worse..."

On Weibo, too many fans expressed similar sentiments.

Every Pacers game, there will always be a wave of carnival feast.

Lin Shaojie's "debut" time is not long. The most important thing is that he has not experienced the influence of the domestic professional basketball world. In the beginning, except for the fake fans who paid attention to his appearance, or some fans who were interested in the domestic major leagues, Lin Shaojie did not leave the circle.

However, since the official announcement of the roster of the national youth team and the national team, accompanied by doubts, the name "Lin Shaojie" has entered the eyes of fans since two years ago. After the London Olympics, it is almost known to everyone.

Waiting for the success of the NBA's rookie season has given many fans an unexpected surprise.

At that time, they had nothing to ask for, and it was enough to stand firm in the NBA. Instead, they were overjoyed. Lin Shaojie took home the championship ring after his first season.

In less than two professional seasons, Lin Shaojie is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and gradually grows with the new wave of fans.

For so many fans, Lin Shaojie is no longer a pure basketball player.

Men and women, inside and outside the campus, some went from elementary school to middle school, some from middle school to university, and from university to work, especially some students who stayed in high school to prepare for the exam...

Although the two years were short, it left too many traces that people could not erase, and the feeling of growing up with youth was too strong.

In that boring, daily practice, for this group of basketball-loving young people, the greatest joy is to listen to the "good news" of the victories, as if they are about to set foot on the field.

For that group of students, Lin Shaojie is the person around them, there are not so many clichés, just because of a basketball, they can burn themselves.

In such desperate years, the hot-blooded boy has grown up and taken responsibility.

Maybe one day time will smooth the edges and corners and make those people look like their parents, but when they were teenagers, they still had dreams.

The voice in the ears said that Lin Shaojie had already played for the Pacers.

At that time, he was not only a basketball player, but also represented every boy who loved basketball and chased his dreams.

"The Pacers are still starting with the five tigers, and the Spurs are sending Parker, Leonard, Green, Duncan and Splitter. Ginobili is still on the bench..."

Looking at the starting list in front of him, Zhang Weiping said quickly.

"In terms of height, the Pacers don't have much of an advantage. The French veteran Dior is still eyeing him off the court. Hibbert + West's lineup faces Duncan + Splitter. I don't know what it will be like. I think this is the biggest change in today's game."

After the game started, the Spurs got the ball without accident, and Hibbert seemed to be born short.

Parker quickly attacked after holding the ball, and the French sports car would not do any tricks in front of Lin Shaojie.

Pass the ball when Lin Shaojie intercepts it, and break through when there is space.

Green's pick-and-roll is predictable, and when Leonard is close to Lin Shaojie, he will even cover Parker in the offense.

This kind of offensive method where two people close the elevator door and create opportunities for Parker is a bit ingenious.

Among other things, the effect is really good, at least Parker's offense has created a great threat.

The Pacers fell into a crisis after the opening. Parker scored two goals in a row, and then assisted Splitter once, which was very smooth.

After Split received the ball inside, Hibbert was fouled on the first ball and made two free throws.

Lin Shaojie wanted to fight back, but it was a pity that he was entangled by Leonard, and the opponent followed without hesitation, and followed Lin Shaojie with his "death entanglement" arms vaguely.

Parker and Green stood not far away and carefully watched Lin Shaojie's pass.

In short, the Pacers felt tremendous pressure after the opening game. Popovich showed the determination to win, putting pressure on the Pacers from all aspects.

"Oh, it can't go on like this, Hibbert fouled at the beginning, which is a big taboo.

It is obvious that the Spurs attach importance to Kobayashi. This is no longer man-to-man. From the perspective of formation, the Spurs have almost 2.5 players defending Kobayashi, and Leonard is still a good defender.

Don’t think that Leonard is unknown, so you don’t care about him. After the Spurs’ GDP, Popovich valued him the most. His average shots per game was second only to those three players. Among them, both are the third highest in the team. "

While Li Dacheng explained, he also revealed gossip.

"In a private chat with me and Kobayashi, he once commented on the current defensive masters of each team. This Leonard is at least in the top three, and his defensive strength is very good."

Although Li Dacheng said it in the tone of "gossip", there are not many people who doubt it. His identity is determined, and some of his sources are very reliable.

At this time, look at Lin Shaojie running on the court to find opportunities. In the past, Lin Shaojie only needed a simple change of direction to get rid of his opponent. Now Lin Shaojie needs more running and more actions. .

The player named Leonard is very talented, even if he was thrown off at the first time, but with the help of his teammates, he can always catch up again at the first time, sticking to Lin Shaojie like a brown candy .

The audience in front of the TV couldn't see clearly, but Zhang Weiping and Li Dacheng who were at the scene could see clearly that Leonard's long arms were really outstanding.

In the past, Lin Shaojie's behavior of "bullying men and women" by relying on his static talent was also copied by his opponent at this time.

Although Lin Shaojie showed a certain degree of ease on the court, compared with the previous chic posture, Lin Shaojie is obviously "restricted".

Frank also discovered this off the court. The Spurs are very targeted, that is, the "cut off a finger" style of play.

In fact, the way to crack it is also very simple, just change someone to hold the ball, or Paul George just stand up.

But Paul George failed to make two mid-range shots in the opening game. The Spurs' inside line prevented Paul George from trying to attack the inside line easily, and Green's replacement was timely. Paul George did not make a contribution, but wasted Lin Shaojie's hard-won two times. pass the ball.

When Lin Shaojie watched Frank stand on the sidelines and made a tactical adjustment gesture, he whispered in George Hill's ear in the next attack.

"You hold the ball!"

"it is good!"

Popovich was at ease, but after the start of the game, the initiative was in the hands of the Spurs, and the score has become 10 to 4. This start is an ideal situation for the slow-heating Spurs.

But when Lin Shaojie gave up holding the ball and began to focus on nothing, Popovich frowned.

He is not sure whether Leonard can resist the pressure in the face of such a situation, or whether the Spurs can resist the "explosive" scoring on the opposite side.

That was Lin Shaojie's off-ball running position. In Popovich's impression, it was definitely a rare high-efficiency score in the league, with almost no extra moves.

The only thing a player has to do is catch the ball and shoot it.

It looks very simple, but the requirements for tactical literacy and golf quotient are extremely high.

If the players are not very familiar with the tactics and the positioning of the players, it is almost impossible to run out of the wide open space. There are ten players in the half of the seemingly wide stadium, and they are all professional players. You have an open shot.

Right now, George Hill's possession of the ball did not meet the defensive lineup that Lin Shaojie encountered. Leonard still followed behind Lin Shaojie, but Parker, who was not far or close, carefully defended.

When George Hill wasn't a [-]-point threat, Parker had no problem defending.

Leonard followed Lin Shaojie, almost a punch away, and the "intimacy" between the two sides started from the beginning and has continued until now.

Lin Shaojie could already feel the sweat on the opponent's body. After several minutes of running almost non-stop, Leonard's physical energy consumption was not small, but Lin Shaojie also knew that the opponent was also an individual to blame. At least compared to ordinary players, his body Talent can be called perverted.

Perhaps it can be said that Lao Hei has an overall advantage in physical fitness, and some exaggerated players can shoot with standard postures in overtime games.

Lin Shaojie is also well aware of this, if he doesn't play it, he can't do it at all. This has almost become a common problem among domestic players, and it is also the moment that fans are most worried about in the fourth quarter.

But no matter how good Leonard's physical fitness is, Lin Shaojie is still not afraid.

I have what others don't have, and I have what others have, and I'm talking about Lin Shaojie.

Leonard's talent is indeed outstanding, he can be called the top defensive player Lin Shaojie has encountered, but he is not considered physical.

It’s Butler of the Bulls, the “black and tough” who played from the bench is not inferior to Leonard, and among the players that Lin Shaojie has played against, the Thunder’s Westbrook and the Rockets’ beard, their physical fitness The reserve is really excellent, as if never tireless.

Of course, Hu Zideng's mentality has always been problematic. If he can do his best in defense with his physical fitness, he may be a rare player in the league. His talent is not inferior to Westbrook.

And the most top-level physical monster, in Lin Shaojie's perception, is LeBron. This is really a historical player.

In fact, in the Pacers team, there is actually such a physical monster, even if he is not so good, he is not inferior.

Paul George is Lin Shaojie's "trump card."

Running without the ball, he continuously changed directions and threw away Lin Shaojie, who was close to him, and George Hill, who had a tacit understanding with him, passed the ball immediately.

After Paul George saw Lin Shaojie running without the ball, he knew that in the first quarter of the game, it would be difficult for him to get the right to shoot.

When Lin Shaojie starts running without the ball, he will automatically switch from point guard to shooting guard mode.

For No. 13 at that time, the only thing to do was to score, and the other Pacers players were pawns.
