My basketball vision is different

The Pacers took the lead and scored 2 points!

This two-pointer was not only obtained by the Pacers, but they snatched it back from the Spurs.

Whether it was Splitter's own abnormal performance or Duncan's mistakes, the Pacers seized this opportunity and turned defense into offense.

As the most crucial player among them, Lin Shaojie's "stunning" appearance at the beginning was like the opening of a stage play, and his bright voice with a long sigh shocked everyone!

Popovich couldn't help but glanced at Frank who was not far away. I knew there was such a player, and I, Greg, am not unreasonable. So what if I give you the ball, as long as you can come to the Spurs, everything It's easy to say.

Look at this year's Spurs, didn't Parker just enjoy the most possession of the ball?

If Lin Shaojie knew all this, he might dismiss it. What he wants in the Pacers is not the biggest possession of the ball, but the most core and the most arbitrary possession of the ball.

Few coaches dare to do this. Frank's tactical focus is on defense, not offense. In addition, Lin Shaojie sorted out the offense very well. Only then did he "grab" the ball step by step. Try another coach.

When the Spurs counterattacked, Parker broke through George Hill, jumped directly inside the three-point line, and then hit two points.

Lin Shaojie was a little worried. If he switched defenses with George Hill, Parker would be eliminated, but it would be even more difficult for George Hill to do anything against Green.

There is a huge difference in height and weight. If a player who averages about 10 points per game is allowed to play 15+ or even 20+, George Hill's confidence will be lost.

Turning his head to look at Lance Stephenson off the court, Lin Shaojie glanced at the coach Frank again, the master and apprentice nodded tacitly, and then continued the game.

Lin Shaojie organized the offense with the ball, and Leonard followed closely, the kind who never left, concentrating on it.

Just this round, let everyone know how much attention the Spurs have devoted to the No. 13.

As a "cute rookie," Leonard played his own signature in the Spurs. This rookie who snatched back from the Pacers and played from the Spurs' bench to the main force has become an unshakable main player in the Spurs team this season.

At first everyone thought Leonard was just an engineer-style defensive player, but as the Spurs got better and better, everyone discovered that this "rookie" wearing the No. Qi got the shot right in his hand.

This is such an easy thing to do.

A player who was originally less than 12 points, this season has been able to average 15 points per game in the regular season, and during the playoffs, the average points per game is rushing to [-]+.

The most incredible thing for everyone is that during the playoffs, Leonard also averaged 9 rebounds per game, and was almost able to complete a double-double. For a second-year rookie, his performance is far better than that of Leonard. Brown is better.

Now, such a small forward obeys the coach's orders and puts most of his energy on No. 13 of the Pacers. Whether it is worth it or not, everyone has their own opinions.

After all, for the Spurs, the GDP trio is fundamental. Just like the Pacers used Paul George to consume LeBron for a long time in the last round, the coaches are familiar with Tian Ji's horse racing trick. very.

Facing the "Kawaii" defense, Lin Shaojie threw off his opponent through continuous changes of direction.

The usual simple way of passing in one step is not so good when facing Leonard. The opponent's talent and concentration make Lin Shaojie also have to play [-] points.

In the entire West, one Leonard and one backpack Du are actually players that Lin Shaojie has a headache for. Their talent and focus are superhuman, especially "Kawaii" in defense, which will consume Lin Shaojie more If he is an ordinary player, Lin Shaojie can make a breakthrough with one big stride, but now, he needs to add some skills.

After passing Leonard's pass, Tony Parker's defense was very active. The Spurs' attention to Lin Shaojie was almost double-teamed. They not only had to be careful of Lin Shaojie's long-range shots from outside the three-point line, but also reduced him from breaking through the inside. Duncan made a foul move.

It can be said that the Spurs must have focused on studying all the details of Lin Shaojie before the game and did not give him too many opportunities.

Three-pointers and breakthroughs are the scenes where Lin Shaojie left a deep impression on the coaches and fans.

Facing Parker's supplementary defense, Lin Shaojie's breakthrough was much easier, and his bigger steps were just a slight pause. He cut in from the left and deceived Parker's defense. When Danny Green wanted to pinch him, Lin Shaojie Send the ball to the inside Hibbert, who turns and throws.

Duncan's defense was in place, but the basketball was lucky to bounce on the hoop and fell into the net.

"Shh!"

"Great, Roy, just do it!"

Roy Hibbert, who finished scoring, waved his fist and accepted the blessings of his teammates.

After cheering, the big and tall Pacers turned around and looked at him. Splitter, who had imitated him just now, finally left the Spurs' paint area.

"what happened?"

Paul George asked as he returned to defense.

"That guy hit me with his leg!"

"Be careful, the spurs aren't that clean!"

Lin Shaojie, who also returned to defense, reminded his teammates, and the two nodded tacitly.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, Lin Shaojie consumed far more energy when facing the Spurs than when facing the Heat. Everyone can see this, but this rookie's physical fitness and mentality are not afraid of all this. Very solid ball control.

Although he had very few shots, the Pacers, who focused on Hibbert, still took the initiative on the court, and the Spurs did not take any lead.

Parker was very smart when facing Lin Shaojie's supplementary defense. He didn't stick to the ball too much. As long as he saw the figure of No. 13, he would play the ball. Whether it was outside or inside, the overall tactics of the Spurs were running smoothly.

When the rotation came, the Pacers led by 21 points 17 to 4 at home and took the initiative.

Compared with Lin Shaojie's calm and calm, George Hill was already sweating profusely, drinking energy drinks to replenish water.

"George (Hill) came down for a break and Lance (Stephenson) came on."

Frank's words made Lance very happy. George Hill nodded. His defense against Parker was really not good. The slightly adjusted Pacers rested for a while and re-entered the field.

"When you are defending Parker, don't start easily, follow him closely, try to force him outside the three-point line, and prevent his mid-range shots. If he succeeds in breaking through, you don't follow anymore. Switch defense with me. I Go deal with him, understand?"

Lin Shaojie taught Stephenson face-to-face, and the Pacers players around him heard it. Lance nodded and said it was okay.

"Promise to do it, boss!"

Lin Shaojie patted Stephenson on the shoulder and went on stage.

For the Spurs, Manu Ginobili replaced Danny Green.

Facing the bald and stronger Argentine demon knife, Lin Shaojie greeted him with a smile on his face, and then stood aside, not giving Ginobili a chance to catch the ball.

And Stephenson's playing has an immediate effect on Tony Parker's defense.

Stephenson, who was reckless and not delicate enough, relied on his talent to "stalk Parker."

As long as it is not a gambling steal, his defense will not lose his position, and his defense is a great threat to Parker.

From the moment Parker held the ball, Stephenson seemed to have infinite energy, sticking to Parker's body and preventing the opponent from dribbling.

When Parker finally found a chance to break through and break into the paint, Lin Shaojie, who was standing next to Ginobili, quickly cut in. Parker didn't dare to make a layup, and came out after circling around the basket.

Parker had no chance to pass the ball on the inside with many experts. Stephenson and Lin Shaojie followed Ginobili after switching defenses, so Parker had no chance to pass the ball at all.

In the end, "Kawaii" squeezed away Paul George, found a chance to receive the ball before the free throw line, and completed the final shot.

"boom!"

"Shh!"

The Spurs were also lucky. The basketball also bounced off the rim and fell into the net.

When the Pacers were attacking, Lin Shaojie advanced slowly, dribbling and advancing as if Leonard was hanging on his body.

During this finals, Lin Shaojie, who faced this kind of defensive strength for the first time, was flattered and humiliated. Hitting just delays the opponent's attack time, and it is almost impossible to steal the ball.

When other guards and swingmen in the west were afraid of Leonard's three-pointer, Lin Shaojie in the east, relying on his skills and powerful strength, seemed to be slow, but in fact he crushed the basketball for more than half of the time. field.

Then throw off the Spurs' perimeter defense "No.1!" after changing directions continuously

Hibbert once again received a pass from Lin Shaojie in the interior. Lin Shaojie, who seemed to want to break through the offense, completed the pass from the low post, but unfortunately, this time luck was not on Hibbert. out.

Of course, the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Lin Shaojie stood there, watching Hibbert's face flushed, turned around and shouted at Split.

"You are too dirty, can you play well, this is not the first time!"

Split waved his hand to show it wasn't his fault.

Lin Shaojie came over, comforted Hibbert, and spoke to the referee after a while.

"Sir, we just want a fair game. I can see the opponent's actions clearly. His knees and elbows have already hit Roy. I don't believe these actions are unintentional. I think he did it to himself. Everything should be clear."

"I trust you, Lynn!"

The referee with a friendly smile turned to Split and said loudly: "Stop your actions, otherwise I won't just give you a simple foul next time."

Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt the deep malice towards him from the league uniforms, but he couldn't refute all of this.

It was his players who were wrong first, and the big screen above his head had started to play all this continuously. Before Hibbert shot, Splitter actually put his knee on his leg, and then took advantage of his take-off. At this time, the elbow has already greeted him.

All the action can be seen clearly, if this is the home of the Spurs...  

Splitter, who played for 10 minutes, was replaced by Boris Diaw in less than a minute, because in the next two rounds, Hibbert, who had the maximum anger value, finished against Splitter. With a crushing victory, Duncan couldn't hold back the big man who was burning with anger.

Hibbert's stature is really big, crushed by pure talent. At this level, Duncan seems to have seen the 0.8 version of the little giant.

It's a pity that "Forever No. 21 Rookie" is already 37 years old. Facing Hibbert in "Rage", Duncan, who has no advantage in height and weight, can only look at his opponent.

Fortunately, this kind of thing cannot continue forever. Not long after the start of the second quarter, Hibbert's lack of experience and lack of stability in his hands were all exposed in the face of the old-fashioned Duncan.

Lin Shaojie's pass was very good, but Hibbert did not convert Lin Shaojie's pass into a score. The Pacers immediately turned their guns on No. 13 and began to send the basketball to Paul George.

After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs saw that one person could not defend, so they let Leonard and Danny Green attack together. Lin Shaojie could only rely on "passing" to live.

Fortunately, Paul George did not disappoint Lin Shaojie, and the successive hits allowed the Pacers to maintain a weak lead.

After a long period of time, Lin Shaojie realized that this was not enough. After calling a timeout, George Hill re-entered the field. Lin Shaojie handed over the power of attack, and he began to run without the ball.

"Is this the 2.0 version of Guidance Lin?"

Lin Shaojie's offensive efficiency without the ball is very high. Without the task of organization, there is only one thing to consider on the offensive end, and that is scoring. Lin Shaojie at this time is simple and terrifying.

Facing such a situation, Leonard and Danny Green could only defend alone. Lin Shaojie without the ball once again became an unknown element on the court. His continuous running at variable speeds and changing directions made Leonard's physical fitness Consumption also started to increase.

In the second half of the second quarter, Lin Shaojie was on the outside, and he was on the outside; Lin Shaojie was on the inside, and he had to squeeze past.

The tactics Popovich told him were simple and straightforward:

"You can get nothing, but you have to stare at the number 13 who is the biggest threat to us!"

Clear and simple tactics!

However, Lin Shaojie, who is looking at the gap to take the ball, is not slippery. The tacit understanding between George Hill and him is difficult for others to match. He did not show 100% value on the defensive end, but when he was attacking and passing the ball, he let Lin Shaojie felt comfortable.

Catch and shoot!

Occasionally there are a few three-pointers, this kind of ability to shoot through the gaps always makes Popovich feel scalp tingling off the court.

The offensive efficiency is really too high!

"Guide Lin! You don't make any adjustments at all, just catch the ball and shoot. Even Hamilton in his peak period didn't have such a shooting percentage, and Hamilton only had a precise mid-range shot.

Take a look at Director Lin, no matter whether it is three points or two points, he can do it at his fingertips, what is this?This is the only 190+ club member in the entire league. "

During the intermission, relying on Lin Shaojie's high efficiency on the offensive end, the Pacers finally opened up the point difference slightly. The score of the two sides came to 51 to 42. The Pacers led by 9 points, but they were 20 points away from the so-called safety line of the Pacers. There is still a long way to go.

During the intermission, Popovich could not criticize Leonard. The overall performance of the Spurs was very good. The stability they showed on both ends of the offense and defense made him impeccable. Except for Lin Shaojie, the Pacers, everyone else They are all scattered scores, and the efficiency value is not high.

In addition to Lin Shaojie's 17 points, the Pacers' second-in-command Paul George scored only 9 points, and George Hill only scored 6 points.

Hibbert scored 10 points in the first half, but when Duncan started targeting him, Hibbert didn't score much.

All other players combined to score 9 points.

On the other hand, for the Spurs, of the 42 points, Green and Leonard only scored 4 points, and Manu Ginobili, who came off the bench, also scored 6 points. The rest of the points all came from Duncan and Parker.

Parker scored 16 points alone, second only to Lin Shaojie's 17 points.

But Popovich is also well aware that Parker, who scored 16 points, only had 4 assists, and the beneficiary was Duncan, while Lin Shaojie, who scored 17 points, had 8 assists, and most of these 17 points came from No. The second half of the second quarter.

This kind of explosive scoring ability within a few minutes is what the Spurs hate the most, just like McGrady in their team, that 35 seconds and 13 minutes has become a shame for the Spurs.

But the current Spurs are no different. The core is here. Everything shown by GDP can't hide their disadvantage of being too old. The Pacers, who took a 9-point lead, performed very steadily throughout the first half.

This kind of stability is something Popovich can see. Every time the Spurs have a chance to chase points, the Pacers' No. 13 always seems to be able to see through his mind and make adjustments on the court as soon as possible. Vicky is having a hard time.

After the intermission ended and the game resumed, Lin Shaojie still played without the ball, and Leonard didn't dare to relax.

Facing such an unreasonable player and Lin Shaojie who mainly shoots mid-range shots without the ball, the Spurs' defense suddenly began to become stretched.

In the current NBA, the proportion of three-pointers and breakthroughs is getting higher and higher, and the traditional jump shot is gradually being abandoned. Is it because the scoring efficiency is not high?

No!

The difficulty of mid-range shooting is far more difficult than imagined. If you want to practice a good mid-range shot, the difficulty is not less than three-pointers. On the contrary, in many cases, it is more difficult.

On the whole, there are very few ways to change three-point long-range shots and breakthroughs. As long as you are accurate in three-pointers, no matter if it is an open shot, like Lin Shaojie, he can use off-ball running to get out of the gap, and he can shoot anytime, anywhere.

But when faced with a defensive player, the three-point accuracy will plummet, especially when encountering a good defender, the three-point shooting rate will make many long-range shooting experts say "can't hurt!"

As for the breakthrough layup, no matter how you change, whether you pass on the left or the right, just go in and talk about it.

If the defensive master lets you take a step, your breakthrough will be difficult to be effective.

On the contrary, the mid-range shooting method is the most changeable, making it hard to guard against.

Whether it is an emergency stop jumper, a post-up jumper, a pull-up or even a step-back, etc., there are endless shooting methods for mid-range shots, and if there is a three-point long-range shot, the threat of mid-range shots will rise sharply.

It is precisely because of the support of mid-range shooting that it can still provide a stable offensive output for the team even when the three-pointer is close, blocked, or double-teamed in a breakthrough.

Who is the best three-pointer in the entire league right now?

Needless to say, coaches will point to the Pacers' No. 13 in unison.

As the best player in active use of three-pointers, while he continues to instill this strength in others, he himself picks up the mid-range that others have begun to give up.

This is also the experience and lessons learned by Lin Shaojie after communicating with players like Jordan and Kobe, and after carefully teaching them to players like Hamilton.

The more accurate the three-pointer is, the more he understands how important CIC is.

Three-pointers are very easy to use. They have a great advantage when chasing points and widening the point difference. One goal can beat others' one-and-a-half goals. But when the two sides are in an anxious game, Lin Shaojie's mid-range scoring is the most core weapon. .

Whenever there is a critical moment, such as playing a post with LeBron in the last series, rubbing against Wade in the low post and then turning around for a jumper.

A hit at that critical moment will crush the opponent.

In the current arena, Lin Shaojie's mid-range shot has already begun to show off.

The continuous changes in the pace of the feet after taking the ball, and the completion of the shot after gaining the shooting space, not to mention Leonard, and Green are useless.

Lin Shaojie has the wingspan that Leonard has, and Lin Shaojie has the bullet speed that Leonard does not.

Before the final shot, Lin Shaojie's footsteps were fleas.

Thinking about how Kobe used the middle distance to solve the Spurs in the 08 Western Conference Finals, the Spurs knew best.

In that series, the Lakers seemed to be in a one-sided state with a big score. In fact, the game was very anxious. After five games, the Spurs took the initiative in three games, and even led by 20 points at one point, but they were reversed by the Lakers in the end.

Except for the rare three-pointers and breakthrough points, [-]% of Kobe's points are from the mid-range, averaging ten points per game.

With such a person in front of him, does Lin Shaojie need other means?

The learning is over.

Back then, Kobe scored [-]% of the points in the sports game. Lin Shaojie's talent was no worse than the opponent's, his strength was better, and his scoring efficiency must be higher.

Don't look at the Spurs' tactical literacy right now. Hibbert and Hansbrough can't play much under Duncan's defense, but facing Lin Shaojie's mid-range, the Spurs are helpless.

If Duncan's position is relatively inside, Lin Shaojie will directly complete the operation of showing his footsteps in front of Leonard, or turn around, or take a step back to catch up and shoot;

If Duncan stands forward, Lin Shaojie will make a second attack after receiving the ball, speed up to get rid of the opponent, and break through to the basket to score. If Hibbert and Paul George have a better chance, then breaking through and scoring the ball is the best s Choice.

Anyway, with Lin Shaojie's ability to read the game, the fans saw Lin Shaojie in the third quarter who could get into the three-point line and continuously attack from mid-range, but the Spurs were really helpless.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent was wearing the Pacers' home yellow and white jersey, the Spurs soldiers thought in a trance that the No. 24 player of the Lakers had returned to Conseco Arena.

"Director Lin is really too powerful. The third quarter is not over yet. He has scored 18 points in this quarter. Except for a three-point shot, all the others are mid-range shots. The single quarter scored more than the entire first half. .”

Zhang Weiping was so excited that he forgot to breathe, watching the game without blinking.

"Look at Lin's top-level reading of the game, he's making the Spurs' defense lose one thing.

Now I have seen his tentative steps, turning and leaning back, retreating steps and turning and retreating steps, etc., are all very deceptive offensive skills. Many players can benefit from learning one, but Director Lin can do it at his fingertips. "

Zhang Weiping felt that no amount of praise could be overstated.

At the scene, TNT's Barkley also opened his mouth wide open.

Facing Leonard's defense, Lynn used a lunge to start to the right corner of the free throw line. First, he made a fake move of raising his hand. Leonard was very stable and was not fired.

But Lin Shaojie immediately made a half-turn and passed the ball, distracting Leonards' defensive attention, but at the moment of turning around, he adjusted his body back to the previous posture. jump shot.

With a bang, the basketball hit.

When the defenders were replaced by Leonard and Green, Lin Shaojie, who was standing outside the three-point line, was half-arched. Everyone knew that he was accumulating energy, as if he was preparing for a big move.

Lin Shaojie, who had completed the process of "charging power", made continuous cross-step dribbles, so that Leonard, who was defending him, did not dare to slack in the slightest. He could only stick close to his opponent.

However, the fake moves were too realistic. Lin Shaojie, who seemed to be shooting from a jump, forced Leonard to point his toes and move his center of gravity up.

However, Lin Shaojie, who completed the bowing action, threw Leonard away in one step. Green couldn't stop Lin Shaojie, who was full of strength, and was squeezed into the paint by his opponent.

Seeing Duncan stand up to defend, Lin Shaojie, who completed a second acceleration halfway, used his turn to shake off his opponent. Duncan's big hand just touched the air.

Lin Shaojie, who broke into the free throw line, did not make any radical moves, and gently handed out the basketball in his hand. The last Splitter was tricked by him and lost his position, and the basketball fell into Hibbert's hands.

The latter took off in place to complete the dunk.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

Hibbert can only speak from the bottom of his heart about the feeling of feeding the ball to his mouth.

"Love it, love it!"

These two rounds are the epitome of the entire third quarter. Relying on the deterrence of mid-range shots, Lin Shaojie took the ball alone and touched the hearts of the Spurs team.

It's deadly!

Off the field, Popovich had to stand up and shout at the players, exerting pressure. He wanted Lin Shaojie to face a stronger defense, but the latter didn't seem to notice it, as always.

When Lin Shaojie took the ball on the left side again, Leonard stepped up to the first defensive barrier, and Danny Green behind him was ready to help defend at any time, but facing Lin Shaojie, who had already rushed up, the previous one The latter two couldn't stop them at all.

With a clockwise turn, Leonard was thrown away, and Lin Shaojie, who got the shooting space, made a gesture to take off.

As a super power forward inside, Duncan rushed out and jumped high, stretching his arms, but Lin Shaojie, who had already jumped up, used his ability to stay in the air to complete a horse flea-like pulling rod in the air, avoiding Duncan's defense.

Lin Shaojie, who was floating in the air, slid all the way to the right, and only completed the final shot when his body fell...

"Shh!"

"My God, what did I see!"

Barkley couldn't believe it and said: "It's too exaggerated. Lynn's shot perfectly showed his body flexibility, staying in the air, and his ability to grasp the timing of the shot.

Unable to defend, it is impossible for the Spurs to defend against Lynn like this, he is invincible. "

Popovich stood silent on the sidelines, looking up at the slow motion on the big screen for a long time.

Lin Shaojie, who is flying in the air, has a very peaceful facial expression, without the "stern face" that most players often see, like Federer on the tennis court. No wonder some fans call such Lin Shaojie "Mr. Perfect" or "Sneaky". !"

Aside from joking, such a player's mentality and facial expression control are too good to be true.

This goal was completed against the number one power forward in history, and its gold content is self-evident. Tim Duncan, as the "background emperor", does not know how many times he will appear in the replay of the classic scene.

sad?

Excuse me?

Duncan seemed unaware of everything. He frowned slightly when he got the ball. The third quarter was about to end, but the point difference between the two sides had reached 17 points. If Lin Shaojie made another three-pointer, the 20-point difference would not So easy to catch up.

Popovich, who called a timeout, obviously wanted to stop Lin Shaojie's offensive frenzy, and Ginobili, who appeared again, also wanted to help the team win.

But the anxious game is not something he can change alone. From the last moment of the third quarter to the middle of the fourth quarter, the point difference on the field has been hovering around 15+.

Leonard spared no effort to defend Lin Shaojie. Facing the No. 13 Pacers with full firepower, his defense became weaker and weaker.

When Lin Shaojie got the ball with his back at 45 degrees to the left, other Pacers players pulled to the right to clear space for him.

Everyone knows that what follows is a heads-up scene.

In defense, Leonard's size has the advantage, and his whole body is muscular. Facing Lin Shaojie's back-up singles, he withstood the opponent's offensive, but after the first two shots, Lin Shaojie, who had completed the test, directly gave up his offensive steps, turned around and pulled up. Lean back.

Leonard's reaction is fast enough, but in the face of this wide range and extremely fast shot, his defense is useless.

The basketball flew past Leonard's fingertips and into the hoop.

"Shh!"

"There are still 5 minutes left, and the point difference between the two sides has once again reached 17 points. My God, Lynn is fully fired at home. He has already scored 45 points. This is the finals. Are we going to witness Is it a miracle?"

The Pacers, who had taken the absolute initiative, made the Spurs' offense fall into a quagmire.

In the fourth quarter, the energy of both sides was a bit insufficient, but Lin Shaojie and Paul George blocked Parker and Ginobili from the outside, so that the "Sports Car" and "Demon Sword" lost their glory.

When Ginobili tried to get rid of Lin Shaojie to catch the ball, the latter suddenly circled behind. Ginobili just got the ball before he even had time to grasp it, and Lin Shaojie completed a sideways steal from behind him.

"Ginobili made a mistake at the critical moment!"

This fatal mistake shocked Parker, Ginobili and others. The "old and hobbled" Spurs couldn't catch up with the lightning-speeding Lin Shaojie. The latter turned his head and smiled before crossing the half-court three-point line.

Sunny and warm!

Take off.

Shoot!

With hope, the basketball looked like a rainbow under the light, and fell into the basket without any doubt.

"Shh!"

Popovich called timeout again.

In 5 minutes, if you want to make up for the 20-point difference, you can do it in the ATT Center Arena, the Spurs' home court. In the Conseco Arena, the Spurs definitely can't do it. The Pacers have the right time, location, and people.

Popovich replaced the main force very sensibly, and Greg disarmed and surrendered!
