My basketball vision is different

Leonard knew that what happened in front of him was his illusion, and what happened in front of him was not a "piss pot" shot, it was clearly a one-shot shot that the Warriors star is best at.

As an old opponent of the Spurs, the Warriors have shown a different momentum last season and this season. The head star Curry's shooting skills are getting more and more exquisite, especially in last year's playoffs, which created a big problem for the Spurs. trouble.

This "rapid fire" three-pointer is in front of the Spurs soldiers. As long as you don't pay attention, that "primary school student" can steal a few three-pointers for you, which is very insidious.

It was the same at this time, it was still a taller, faster, stronger version, in a daze, Leonard thought that his opponent had been replaced by that guy.

Just a moment before and after, Leonard heard the cheers of the fans.

There was no foul, it was very straightforward, and the previous slow motion was also playing on the big screen above his head.

With only a slight shooting space, Lin Shaojie shot quickly after completing the run, without giving the defender in front of him any chance to block.

The sense of quickness even misunderstood the defender, thinking that the opponent had completed the shot in front of the chest. In fact, the ball was also shot from a high position, but the way of exerting force was very coherent.

The frustrating fake action before the shot was also particularly obvious, so obvious that "I predicted your prediction," which led to Leonard's hesitation.

"Still plagued by fouls."

It's a pity for Popovich off the court. If it was the past, Leonard would have rushed out decisively, but this time he obviously didn't want to be fouled by his opponent again.

Lin Shaojie, who used one-step shooting, doubled his shooting speed. Leonard was surprised to find that if he couldn't defend himself closely, the opponent wouldn't give him a chance to reach out.

That kind of shooting speed is too fast, there is no time to block it.

Leonard watched the opponent make consecutive three-pointers in the next few rounds with a super high shooting percentage, hitting 4 of 3 shots, and Leonard was a little at a loss.

It seemed that his useless work in the first half was for nothing, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that he was a little short of breath after being good at physical strength.

After running with his opponent for more than 20 minutes, Leonard already felt a violent heartbeat, and his chest seemed to be constantly reminding himself that the consumption of this game was greater than ever.

"Haha, I got it!"

During the intermission, Li Dacheng suddenly said happily as he saw the approaching score between the two sides.

"Speaking of which, Kobayashi is still using the old tactics, since the Spurs want to trade with him, then he will follow the rules.

It can be said that I have seen many excellent players in terms of physical fitness, but Kobayashi's physical fitness is definitely the best in the league, even Kobe has to bow down in this regard.

Moreover, his resilience is particularly strong. During the halftime break, even if he cannot be revived with full blood, he can at least recover [-] to [-]% of his physical strength. I don't know that Leonard hardly consumed much physical strength in the second half. Xiaolin, what should I do?

And with the configuration of the Spurs, no matter how good their bench performance is, they don't have a core defensive player on the perimeter. If Leonard is off the court, who can stand in this position to defend Lin Shaojie? I think Popovich should think about it this problem. "

In the Pacers locker room, Lin Shaojie was also rarely lying on the seat with a blanket covering his body. The Pacers star had already begun to doze off as if no one else was around.

Frank stood in front of Lin Shaojie, with his back turned to him, and was arranging tactics for other players.

Everyone also understands how much physical energy Lin Shaojie, who played in the first half of the season for the first time this season, consumes a lot of energy.

Leonard's abnormal defense is far more exaggerated than Paul George's defense of LeBron. Except for a few shots, the Spurs seem to have forgotten this player. His only role on the court is to limit Lin Shaojie.

From the beginning to the end, as long as Lin Shaojie stood on the court, he was like a shadow.

Players with an unstable mentality like Stephenson or Hibbert don't know if they will go crazy when they encounter such a situation.

Lin Shaojie, as the Pacers' player with the most points in the first half, has to move around almost every ball to have a chance to catch the ball. The feeling of entering the playoffs in an instant will make many people uncomfortable.

But Lin Shaojie did a good job. Lin Shaojie, who scored a total of 26 points in the first half, is likely to break 40 points in this game.

Facing a strong player like the Spurs, it is not easy to get a score of 30+ or ​​more. 40+ is definitely a huge level. The cards are all out, it depends on the performance in the second half.

On the other side, Popovich in the locker room asked Leonard.

"How about it, can you still hold on?"

"no problem!"

Leonard nodded affirmatively. For him, the first half was as hard as running a half-marathon. He didn't feel it when he was on the court. The excitement of fighting against the top players in the league was constantly stimulating Leonard.

But by the time of the intermission, the feeling of exhaustion came over again and again.

The physical therapists have tried their best to release the pressure on them, but this is the last month of the regular season, even though Leonard rested for a few games due to injury, his physical consumption was also huge in the second half of the season .

Suddenly, he needs to defend a player who can make people crazy on both ends of the offense and defense. If Leonard is not mentally determined, he may not be able to persist.

"The game is just starting now. There is no problem with our strategy in the first half, but all of us must pay attention, don't foul, that kid is very cunning."

Some players nodded silently, and some responded with a smile. Everyone understood that Popovich did not have any malicious intentions. The game was played like this, and the Spurs went all out. They really regarded this game as the finals.

But even so, the Spurs did not widen the gap.

For everyone, if it weren't for Dior's three-pointer to open up space for the team, and the whole team to help Parker, plus the reason for the good touch, the Spurs might not have taken the lead in the first half.

Thinking about the number 13 again, it is an exaggeration to still be able to score 26 points in such a situation.

Such scores are nothing. Lin Shaojie scored 51 points on the Spurs last year. He made 14 of 13 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 29 points in one quarter. It is almost a one-shot fame.

That was still at the Spurs' home court, and since then, everyone has stopped joking about "Mr. $5000 million knife" jokes.

After all, for any player who can score 51 points on the Spurs and sign a $5000 million contract, would that be a problem?

Nike just looks further than other manufacturers and pays more attention to the Huaguo market.

Thinking of this, everyone was a little scared, and fortunately that guy did not reproduce last year's "miracle," otherwise he would be allowed to score such exaggerated statistics, and the Spurs' undefeated golden status would be resigned.

You know, the 17-game winning streak is already a team history record for the Spurs. If this game can be won, the Spurs will make history again.

The Spurs, who are firmly at the top of the Western Conference, are unstoppable. Their previous scoring average has reached 112+ points, and the team's shooting percentage is nearly [-]%. Can you imagine that this is an old team?

Anyway, the Pacers definitely did not treat the Spurs as an old horse, and the Spurs also wanted to take away the victory.

As the second half of the game started, Zhang Weiping and Li Dacheng in front of the commentary also looked at the lineups of the two sides and commented.

"For the Pacers, the key to the second half should be Paul George. Now that the Spurs regard Kobayashi as the biggest threat, the defense against Paul George will inevitably decline. At this time, the 'second master' should show his strength."

"I think so!"

Zhang Weiping agreed: "But judging from the current situation, in the past eight games, Paul George has only scored 15 points per game. His unstable performance at the end of the season has greatly reduced his threat. His current The shooting percentage is only [-]%, and most of the time, it is based on high shots in exchange for points. If the right to shoot is given to Director Lin, I believe that this season's scoring champion should undoubtedly belong to Director Lin."

Zhang Weiping deserves to be the "Lin Chui" of the sports channel, but what he said is well-founded, and the fans in front of the TV or in front of the broadcast think so too.

For most people, they are not professionals. They only know one thing, that is, it is right to give the ball to Lin Shaojie at the critical moment. The rest of the players need to do a good job of covering and running, and don’t grab any shot rights. .

Just like in the era of the Little Giants, it was the original sin for the point guard not to pass the ball to the Little Giants, no matter how good he played, it was useless.

The same is true now. Although the team's win or loss is very important, it is not as important as Lin Shaojie's more statistics.

Besides, Lin Shaojie's scoring efficiency is so high, why doesn't he occupy the most shots in the team?

For Lin Shaojie himself, he also needs the "second master" to stand up and help him share the pressure.

In today's game, Paul George's performance is not too bad. The main reason is that Lin Shaojie mainly played off the ball in the first half. Paul George's shot rights will inevitably decline, and his shooting percentage of 10 out of 3 can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Although Stephenson didn't get too many chances, his shooting percentage of 9 of 3 shots was even better. The true shooting percentage was actually better than Stephenson's.

But with the exception of Stephenson, the Pacers' substitutes played ugly against the Spurs' substitutes.

The strength of the veteran team is really extraordinary, even if Lin Shaojie is in charge in person, this is the case.

After the game started, Lin Shaojie continued to run wildly. What he has to do now is to find ways to get Leonard down.

The latter is also well aware of this, even the coach sitting off the court knows it.

Besides, defense is far more energy-consuming than offense. Popovich used the "little king" to target Lin Shaojie's "big king," just to force out the opponent's hole card.

Lin Shaojie, who was running, received a pass from George Hill. Leonard bypassed the Pacers next to him, and stuck close to Lin Shaojie, trying to interfere with the opponent's shooting.

In the first half, Lin Shaojie's long-range shot was too threatening.

Even fans who don't like to watch shots but only like to watch breakthroughs and dunks have to admit that it's not easy to make shots under such pressure.

Leonard saw Lin Shaojie take a step back to open up space, and immediately clung to him.

Lin Shaojie changed direction, Leonard adjusted his center of gravity and shifted his pace laterally.

However, when Lin Shaojie completed his dribble, Leonard had to adjust his direction again after the subsequent change of direction. With three consecutive false moves, Leonard found that he could no longer keep up with his opponent.

I also faced the same action in the first half, so why do I feel like I can't keep up at this time?

Parker had already sneaked up from the other side, but Lin Shaojie seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, he patted the ball vigorously, and pedaled with his feet.

Leonard was squeezed out of Lin Shaojie's breakthrough space, and Parker also saw Lin Shaojie's intentions.

"It's not a shot, it's a breakthrough!"

Li Dacheng yelled, and the continuous outside shots in the first half even made them forget that Lin Shaojie's breakthrough was also full of deterrence. At this moment, facing this continuous explosive movement, Leonard couldn't resist.

Parker couldn't keep up with this talented monster either. His seemingly thin but strong body didn't even give the two of them a chance to foul, so he charged into the lane with an indomitable momentum.

Splitter and Duncan, one left and one right, wanted to block him, but Lin Shaojie, who was almost full of flexibility and flexibility, actually played a 360-degree turn when the two "closed the door".

The movement of the whole person after bouncing into the gap between the two before turning around is completely different from Parker's spinning top. The whole movement is completed in the air, and any redundant movement of the defensive player will be sentenced to a foul.

In this "crack", Lin Shaojie held the ball with one arm for a layup at the last moment, and his movements in one go made people dazzled.

Isn't it just extravagant?

It's not that he can't, it's really unnecessary. When there is a need, Lin Shaojie is more decisive than anyone else.

The technical movements of 360-degree air turns are placed in the gymnastics queue, which is a piece of cake, but such quick and powerful movements are rare, especially on the basketball court.

The main reason is that in those few short steps, people feel that there is not enough room to exert force, but Lin Shaojie can complete it, which is really refreshing.

Duncan opened his eyes wide, apparently not expecting this from the other party.

"You didn't shoot the ball?"

Lin Shaojie responded with a smile, and he reached out to stroke the hair of "Dazed".

"Breakthroughs can also kill."

After speaking, Lin Shaojie quickly returned to defense.

The old Spurs hardly fouled when serving. He would not want to grab the ball from the baseline in such a situation, and he would just retreat obediently.

Leonard looked at his big hand with some regret.

"It's nothing, hit the next ball back!"

Parker comforted his teammates. The ball just now was really too fast. Lin Shaojie's movement was so solid that it was outrageous. The seemingly simple movements consumed a lot of body. .

Lin Shaojie seemed to be in a trance, and he broke through continuously in the next few rounds. The confrontation between him and Parker surprised the fans on the spot.

Instead of shooting, Lin Shaojie, who plays breakthrough instead, is almost an offensive kaleidoscope.

For most fans, compared to "boring" projections, the current breakthrough is the mainstream and the right way.

"Pretty!"

Seeing Lin Shaojie successfully hit a 2+1 again, this time it was still Duncan who was injured, "Stone Buddha" stood in front of Lin Shaojie as if he didn't believe in evil.

But facing Lin Shaojie who soared into the air and dodged his long arms and crashed into his arms, Duncan had nothing to do.

Li Dacheng saw it clearly at the scene. After Lin Shaojie dodged Leonard's pursuit, he seemed to huddle into a ball and rushed inside. Of course, an "honest person" like Duncan would not back down. That was his "territory." , "The result is very gratifying, Lin Shaojie completed 2+1.

The layup was interrupted by Duncan. If it weren't for Lin Shaojie's better stability, it would be difficult for the basketball to get into the basket.

But under the risk, Duncan sent a foul because of this!

At this time, the third quarter has entered the second half of the game. If Lin Shaojie can score this goal, he will overtake the score for the first time and take the lead.

"It's so beautiful, it's all based on a strong body and extraordinary explosiveness.

Really, I feel like I haven’t seen such a fierce game for a long time. In the past, the Pacers played too easily, and they couldn’t force a full No. 13. Look at this ball, it’s really cool... ..."

Li Dacheng's commentary is a bit unprofessional and subjective, but his commentary makes the fans feel deeply.

Since Lin Shaojie's efficient three-pointers became popular in the league, any team must reserve three-pointers. Many people even feel that the current game is a bit boring, especially some young players even regard Lin Shaojie as an idol. Work hard, play basketball for health.

In addition to shooting three-pointers on the court, it seems that there is no breakthrough without a pick-and-roll.

But looking at Lin Shaojie in front of him, he shoots three-pointers because of the high efficiency of three-pointers. When the threat from the outside line is not enough to kill the opponent, he can switch attack methods at any time.

Look at the performance in the third quarter, how lethal the breakthrough is, you can see Leonard's performance.

The close defense at the beginning was to prevent the opponent from bursting, and now he can only passively step aside to prevent the opponent from breaking through. Although everyone knows that Lin Shaojie is showing his breakthrough ability, Leonard on the court hardly dares to have the slightest Relax and focus fully on your opponent.

That step is almost a life-and-death line, Lin Shaojie can jump and shoot at any time, Leonard can't be careless.

Lin Shaojie's feints and his ability to change directions almost put Leonard in his hands.

And Leonard still didn't dare to give up, even after being broken through, he had to try his best to chase and defend, and his physical consumption was no less than that of Lin Shaojie.

By the end of the third quarter, Parker was the player with the most points in the Spurs, but only 22 points were recorded;

Except for a 3-minute break in the middle of the court, Lin Shaojie struggled on the court the rest of the time. With 17 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, the Pacers entered the fourth quarter with a score of 84 to 77 and a 7-point lead.

For the Spurs, who averaged more than 112 points per game before, their offense in this game was a failure.

The biggest problem is not this, but Leonard has 4 fouls and Duncan has 3 fouls.

In this section of the game, Lin Shaojie scored 6 points by free throws alone. He played "2+1" 4 times, and every time the home fans got up to celebrate.

Whether Leonard can persist until the end of the game, even Popovich himself does not know. He knows one thing now, that is, the situation on the court is a bit dangerous for the Spurs.

Popovich knew that the kid on the other side was bad.

Foul is one;

Leonard's physical fitness is the second.

Originally, the strategy of trying to overwhelm the opponent and pull them into the abyss did not seem to be reduced. After a short break, the game entered the final quarter.
