But that's because the opposing team's defensive ace was guarding Kobe in every game.

It is precisely because of Kobe's presence that Lin Hao has almost never experienced the treatment of being double-teamed.

So, in everyone's opinion, his average points per game are inflated.

"Is the Pacers coach out of his mind? Why did he send Artest to guard me?"

After Lin Hao finished reading the newspaper, countless question marks emerged in his mind.

Of course, he was not afraid of Artest, but because this guy was just an ordinary star and he couldn't get many attribute points from him!

He took this question to ask Phil Jackson.

The Phil Jackson sighed deeply, "Rick Carlisle (Pacers head coach) has such a vicious intention!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao understood what Carlisle was planning.

"This guy's control over people's hearts has simply reached the pinnacle!"

"It seems that no head coach in the NBA can be underestimated!"

He also sighed deeply.

Carlisle's plan was:

Let ordinary players defend Kobe, and let the team's defensive spearhead Artest defend Lin Hao.

Then they hyped it up in front of the media, claiming that Lin Hao's scoring ability was not good enough.

Facing the defense of ordinary players, Kobe can easily score 30+, 40+, or even 60+.

But so what?

Even if you win this game, you will lose the heart of your good brother Lin Hao.

There will be a gap between the two, and even conflicts will arise. In the end, the Colin combination may even fall apart like the OK combination.

In this way, the Pacers will have the opportunity to recruit Lin Hao next season.

If Kobe gives up the ball and gives up the offense, Carlisle will be even happier.

If your team's top scorer is unable to score, then the Pacers have at least an 80% chance of winning this game.

"Lin, you go on the offensive in this match, and I'll be in charge of the defense!"

Kobe also guessed Carlisle's intention and patted Lin Hao on the shoulder.

Lin Hao showed a sinister smile:

"Carlisle, I tell you, you've made a wrong calculation!"

This game has attracted so much attention that if we don’t perform well, it will affect the All-Star voting, which would be a big loss.

Therefore, Lin Hao decided to go all out and use all his offensive skills to the limit.

……

At 9 o'clock that night, the battle between the Lakers and the Pacers began under the attention of the public.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains the same.

The Pacers' starting lineup is: PG Tinsley, SG Reggie Miller, SF Artest, PF Jermaine O'Neal, C Austin Croshere.

(I wrote earlier that Reggie Miller was a commentator, but he hadn't retired yet. I almost fainted in tears.)

Their on-paper strength is simply terrifying. Miller, Artest, and O'Neal are all All-Stars.

But in fact, this is Miller's last season and his strength is not as good as before.

"Hey, kid, a lot of people say you play like me."

"But I think you're a piece of shit!"

"If you want to compete with me, you have to prove yourself in front of Artest first!"

Reggie Miller walked over and said arrogantly.

"But I've already surpassed you!"

"I'm talking about my peak period!"

"I'm talking about your peak period!"

"How do you say this?"

Miller looked confused.

"Come on, let's do the math!"

"You don't have a championship ring, but I do, and this is a victory!"

"You've never been selected for the defensive team, and even if I can't be the DPOY, I can at least make the defensive team. That's two wins!"

"In your prime, you were at most in the top three at shooting guard. Black Egg and Glider were both better than you."

"And I, even if I'm not the best small forward, I'm at least second. That's three wins!"

"You've never had more than four rebounds and assists in your entire career, and mine were between six and seven."

"In terms of all-around performance, I'm better than you. That's my fourth victory!"

"Isn't your strongest point the three-pointer? Let's compare your average shots per game and your hit rate..."

Lin Hao put his arm around his shoulders, pulled him to the edge of the court, and taught him earnestly.
