My basketball vision is different

"I can't guarantee that I will grab rebounds in the frontcourt, so we don't need to think about the second offense for the time being. What we have to do now is to speed up our rhythm, speed up crazily, and use our physical energy to consume the opponent. Let the Spurs players into a state of exhaustion."

Lin Shaojie expressed his opinion after Frank, affirming the coach's tactics.Because Lin Shaojie knows very well that the Spurs players' basketball quotients are too high under the training of Popovich, and the team basketball is soaring.

Only by attacking this balanced team with young talents can we seize the opportunity and win, just like in the Pacers' home court.

In the final analysis, if you want to defeat the Spurs, you need to control the rhythm and cut off the connection between opponents.

Such a seemingly simple tactic is suitable for most slow-paced teams, but the Spurs, who have been in the league for more than ten years, know their secrets. Everyone knows that acceleration and pressing are useful, but how many can be achieved? indivual?

In front of this team-oriented team, unless you are as talented as God and have a complete offensive and defensive system as a whole, you will be overwhelmed by the Spurs sooner or later.

The Pacers have proved their talent with their two consecutive victories at home, and Lin Shaojie has also proved his field control and attacking ability with his own ability.

But in the Spurs' home court, the sweltering stadium has limited the Pacers' talent the most.

Even Lin Shaojie felt a little restrained.

After a short break, the second quarter began.

Although his physical fitness was not in crisis, West was pushed off the field after he started to issue a slight warning.

Lin Shaojie and others can continue to fight on the basis of their youth, strength and resilience, this veteran is really not good.

Scola could also clearly feel the difficulty of running after he came on the court, especially since the Pacers have to gradually speed up the pace and get out of the "control" of the Spurs, which is even more difficult.

Stephenson also played in place of George Hill. Stephenson, who said before going on the field that he would give the opponent a little color, quickly felt the cruelty of the away game.

With 81 regular season games throughout the season, plus the playoffs, Stephenson can be regarded as a veteran, but under so many winds and rains, this is really the first time he has encountered such an away game.

It's really too hot, mainly because of the airtight feeling, like putting on a double-layer mask for every breath, that stuffy feeling constantly stimulates your body and consumes your energy.

It's like walking in mud!

It stands to reason that the Spurs players should do the same, but amidst the "blessings" of more than 1 people in the audience, the Spurs, who were almost desperate, played very resolutely. In addition, they had expected this matter, and their success rate was much higher than that of the Pacers. higher.

Lin Shaojie also tried to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates, but obviously, this third game was not so easy to play.

When Stephenson was facing Manu Ginobili, he was actually intercepted by this Argentine who was smaller than him.

Stephenson, who obviously has the advantages of body and physical fitness, is not a rough guy in his technical moves, but he was intercepted so abruptly.

Ginobili from the outside line completed an unpretentious layup.

Lin Shaojie, who had just completed the pass and was waiting for Stephenson to attack, could only watch all this speechlessly.

"This guy Stephenson is not in good shape!"

Zhang Weiping said angrily.

"The players are playing too relaxed. When is this? This is a life-and-death battle for the Spurs. How can you play casually against such a team?"

The slow-motion replay of the scene also showed that when Stephenson was sideways protecting the ball, his attention was completely out of Ginobili in front of him.

Yes!

When the Argentine faced Lin Shaojie, he felt that he hadn't played any role, and was scored two consecutive three-pointers by the opponent at the end of the first quarter.

But that's really not why you should underestimate him.

When facing Lin Shaojie, Ginobili is indeed a little anxious, because the opponent is too strong, but his defensive ability has never been weak.

It was Bowen who did the dirty work for the Spurs back then, but now Leonard and Green are better than him on the scene, with such teammates at the front, Ginobili just hides aside and makes "black" moves .

Because the Argentine has always been the most assured player in Popovich's heart. Whether it is offense or defense, he is the only choice in that "adversity".

Freed from the important task of defending Lin Shaojie, Ginobili showed an excellent state immediately.

What is hot, almost completely non-existent, reaching out to wipe the sweat off his face, as if he had smeared a medal.

"Come again!"

Stephenson felt the difficulty of the away game.

His good body doesn't seem to take any advantage, and his unstable shooting has become a hindrance.

Even if Lin Shaojie made adjustments in time and let Paul George shoulder the heavy responsibility of breakthrough, he made two mistakes after Stephenson came on the field, and the point difference between the two sides returned to 8-12 points again.

"It can't go on like this!"

Frank looked helplessly at the situation on the court and had to call a timeout.

Stephenson goes off, George Hill enters.

Stephenson, who couldn't play tacitly, and couldn't take on the tough task, played for a few minutes and returned to the bench again.

The inside line composed of Scola and Gobert did not surprise people, and it was similar to when West was on the court.

Lin Shaojie has the best overall view and mind in the league, but there is no teammate who can help him execute it, unless Lin Shaojie comes by himself, but look at the intensity of the defense he faces, and at the same time he must strengthen the defensive task. Take it easy...

In the final analysis, the culprit of the Pacers is Paul George, the second-in-command.

From the first quarter to the present, throughout the first half, his performance was disappointing.

If it weren't for his defensive attitude and effectiveness, Frank and Lin Shaojie could hardly believe that the Pacers' second-in-command would have become what they are today.

So far, he has only hit two sports goals, no assists, no steals and no rebounds. He seems to be sleepwalking on the court.

It's fine for Stephenson to have an accident, more or less a substitute, but he can't do this, he is the most important player besides Lin Shaojie.

The Spurs led by 12 points at the most, but were pulled back to single digits by Lin Shaojie's 3-pointer. If "Pickled Pepper" performed better and scored a few more points, it would not be so difficult to catch up with this point difference.

"What happened to Paul today?"

Looking at the unnatural expression, and the figure that looks like McGrady from certain angles, everyone didn't know what to say.

Frank seldom criticizes others, the plot of "Rushuai" is a bit serious, and the bad guys are all done by the teaching assistants.

But Paul George has always been the one to be touted. When this "child" player reached the highest level and was about to reach the top, he gave up his picks and couldn't play anymore?

Lin Shaojie couldn't believe it.

"Pickled peppers?"

Seeing Lin Shaojie's puzzled expression, Paul George also felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone was affected by the damn high temperature, and he himself was no exception.

But looking at the opponent's still steady style of play, how could he bear it.

"give me sometime."

"it is good!"

Lin Shaojie patted the "Second Master" on the shoulder, and when he entered the court, Lin Shaojie added in a moderate voice: "We don't have much time left, you have to fight resolutely."

Paul George looked at the time. It was always the time that the Pacers left their opponents running out. Now, it was the first time he heard Lin Shaojie say such words.

Fans at the AT&T Center also booed.

"You can't do it, you are going to die."

"Young people, the future belongs to you, but the present belongs to us."

"Go home, little flowers in the greenhouse, you can't come here."

......

Although it's not bad words, but some words are really hard to hear.

Paul George knows very well how important this almost "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" is to both sides.

If the Pacers win and win a key away game, it won't matter whether they win or lose the next game. The Pacers who return to the home court have a lot of opportunities.

There has never been a team in history that can come back 3-0 against the wind, even the Spurs are no exception.

But if the Spurs win, the score of 2 to 1 will allow the old team to regain blood, and it is more likely to win the home court. In the end, it will be a 2 to 2 tie, and then the two sides will fight each other again.

The cruel finals will definitely plunge the two sides into a bitter battle, and the long-awaited vacation will continue to be postponed.

Paul George didn't want to do this. He knew that Lin Shaojie had done a lot of things. Being double-teamed by Leonard and Ginobili, he was able to score 14 points and 5 assists. This is definitely the top in the league. Only stars can do it.

If he had a little more confidence, the form of the game would definitely be much better.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Paul George clenched his fists and entered the game gritted his teeth.

Popovich didn't expect that after returning from the timeout, the Pacers' second-in-command on the court was awakened, and it would cause them such a big trouble.

Lin Shaojie once again fell into a double-team situation, but Paul George, who kept attacking the inside and used his own impact to pry open the opponent's door, became a shit stick.

Lin Shaojie, who was trapped in the encirclement, escaped in an instant and regained his life.

"Damn, this ball is passed in seconds!"

When Paul George began to show his prowess, Lin Shaojie's seemingly jerky pass instantly became "spiritual".

Lin Shaojie, who was double-teamed, didn't move a single step, but he made perfect use of the space that he pretended to break through and "sway".

The basketball bounced out of Leonard's crotch, and Paul George, who went straight inside, caught the ball and took off in an instant, facing Splitter with a heavy dunk.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

Li Dacheng was in the auditorium, happy like a fool.

The Pacers' second man stood up. As long as there is such a player who can score goals at critical moments, the pressure on Lin Shaojie will be much less.

Not only that, Lin Shaojie can play much better with someone sharing the pressure.

You can't always double-team Lin Shaojie, you will miss people all the time.

The number 13 of the Pacers is not the one of the Lakers. He only knows that he is reckless. Everyone knows that as long as his teammates can score goals, he can find ways to send you the basketball.

what is this?

This is the confidence of the league's number one point guard.

Lin Shaojie, who was panting violently, also smiled.

High temperature; sweat; smell...all of them made up a hodgepodge, constantly impacting his senses, the kind of adaptation that he could feel himself was still a little too slow.

The huge physical energy consumed by organization and defense made Lin Shaojie worry about his physical energy for the first time. He seemed unable to play the whole game.

Fortunately, at this time, Paul George regained his vitality.

Leonard and Ginobili, who were close in front of them, were also a little worried. Looking at each other, they could feel Lin Shaojie's relief, like an "old father" seeing his son grow into a talent.

Anyway, at the last moment of the first half, Paul George's intermittent scoring seemed scattered, but it was crucial. He liberated Lin Shaojie and made it easier for the latter to play.

The Spurs, who lost sight of the other, were finally chased back to 4 points by the Pacers, and the two sides returned to the starting line again.

"FUCK!"

The fans at home should release water, and shop, anyway, it's halftime, but looking at the score above their heads, they can't describe it in their hearts.

Tens of thousands of people are accompanied by the sweltering heat. This is the weather in June. San Antonio has never been a summer resort.

The highest temperature during the day has exceeded 33 degrees. Under such an environment, who is not holding his breath to contribute to the home team?

Fans from other houses bought a ticket, bought some merchandise, and yelled twice. As Spurs fans, they really sweated together.

Frank's gloomy mood also improved, and the visiting team's locker room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere;

In the locker room at home, Popovich's face was not very good.

The temperature also affected the performance of the home team's players. Of course, in terms of success rate, the Spurs were still capable, but they couldn't stand up to the Pacers' fast pace.

If the Pacers can't do it once, they will do it twice. Anyway, they are trying their best to speed up the pace and win by "quantity".

Look at the end of the first half, Paul George's frenzied shots, the hit rate is only [-] to [-]%, but the Pacers regained their rhythm in an instant.

"We don't put enough pressure on our opponents. I need you to be more decisive and don't give those guys an easy shot."

As he spoke, Popovich raised his finger and clicked on Lin Shaojie who had the most assists on the tactical board.

"The No. 13 of the Pacers has already got 9 assists. This is still in the case of the Pacers' poor state, and they continue to double-team him."

"Then what about Paul George?"

Hearing the assistant's question, Popovich said indifferently.

"Give him a chance to break through, and we will take good care of him in the interior, as long as he doesn't let him make easy shots from the outside."

Leonard, Green, and Ginobili looked at each other, and they knew that their defensive tasks were getting heavier.

Fortunately, Popovich understands players under his size. After the start of the second half, Green appeared again, and Ginobili took the opportunity to rest more.

As a top 3-and-D player, Green's appearance strengthened the perimeter defense against Paul George, whose shooting timing became increasingly difficult.

The most important thing is that the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, and Paul George, who has excellent physical talent, soon began to hit the inside again.

Lin Shaojie saw that Paul George was in good condition, so of course he would not miss this opportunity, and sent wonderful passes from time to time. As long as Paul George had a chance, he would be able to hit a heavy dunk in the away game.

The Spurs still double-teamed him, but they obviously couldn't do it like it was in the first half.

Paul George, who starts to show off his power, will always let the defensive players focus on one thing and lose another. No matter how good the tactics are, the mentality of the players will inevitably be affected.

The rise of the Pacers' "Second Master" suddenly allowed the visiting team to find their own rhythm.

The showdown between "fast" and "slow" seems to be starting again!
