Chapter 448
Back from the timeout, Lin Shaojie rejected the suggestion to rest and continued to take charge of the team.
Previously, the body's thirst for water seemed to be very strong.
The open pores are accompanied by the loss of water, quickly taking away excess body heat.
This is a very strange feeling. For most people, sweating is a very normal thing, but since entering Jiangnan University, Lin Shaojie has never experienced such a comprehensive feeling.
It seems that the sweltering environment of the ATT center made Lin Shaojie reach a certain threshold, and his body changed accordingly.
Lin Shaojie didn't know exactly how long this adaptation process would take.
A quarter of more than ten minutes of game time?
24 hours a day?
Or a month?
But from the current point of view, it is difficult to adapt to this environment in a short time.
Temperature is one thing, vigorous exercise in those temperatures is another.
The same is true of the Spurs soldiers not far away. They are also replenishing water at this time, and the GDP trio who have gathered again are ready to play.
Perhaps sensing Lin Shaojie's gaze, Duncan, Ginobili and others looked over one after another. A group of people looked at Lin Shaojie with smiles while wiping their sweat.
We are all old acquaintances, and each other is fighting in a "difficult" environment, and there is a feeling of "sharing difficulties" and "sympathizing with each other".
For the commentators who commented on this game, players like Barkley can be said to be "dreams back to the Tang Dynasty" for everything that happened before.
"My God, I can't imagine that this scene will happen at the Spurs' home court."
After finishing speaking, Barkley said to his golden partner Smith: "Do you feel familiar?"
Smith nodded: "Although it's been a while since I left the court, everything feels like yesterday.
What is this to us?We've seen worse things than this. What's the point of playing away games with heartbeats and treating them as if they're at home? "
"If the Pacers lose this game, the Spurs may cause other teams' air conditioners to fail!"
Barkley joked: "No team in the league has figured out a way to deal with Lynn, and the Spurs may have set a precedent.
As far as I know, the few teams and coaches who have a good relationship have held a meeting specifically for Lynn.The theme of the meeting was 'how to limit that number 13. '
Judging from the current situation, Lynn's performance in such an environment is not very good. It's time for the Spurs' home air conditioner to break down. "
The two ill-intentioned commentators made the heat of the game soar.
The performance of the Pacers is almost the epitome of Lin Shaojie.
So far in the game, Lin Shaojie has only scored 4 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, no steals and no blocks.
For a super player who can win a large double-double or even a triple-double in the finals, these data are completely inconsistent with his role.
Even the fans at the ATT Center Stadium chanted similar slogans like "Dragon at home, worms away" to stimulate Lin Shaojie, which made Li Dacheng, who was sitting in the audience, quite angry.
It is because Lin Shaojie's status in his mind is too high. Lin Shaojie, who has played so many away games, will never be affected mentally. His current performance is entirely a good thing done by the Spurs.
Let alone Lin Shaojie, as long as the other Pacers players can stand up and carry the flag, the game will not be played like this.
Fortunately, after playing again, Lin Shaojie showed the core role of the team.
After Ginobili came on the court, Lin Shaojie could be regarded as a personal defense. With Leonard, he could find opportunities to counterattack on the flank.
But Lin Shaojie's ball control is as stable as an old dog, and he will not give the opponent the slightest chance because of the temperature on the scene.
Sweat can blind your eyes, but not your heart.
At this critical moment, he completed a move that almost saved the team.
Lin Shaojie, who was attacking with the ball, faced Leonard's main defense, and Lin Shaojie, who slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, spoke for the first time.
"'Kawaii,' I said I'd shoot right there, would you believe me?"
Looking at the Chinese people in front of him, it was the first time Leonard saw him in such a "wretched" state.
The jersey was not as dry as usual, patches of sweat stained the clothes, and the sweat on the forehead was visible to the naked eye. The thick eyebrows seemed to have been washed, and the eyes that lined them were clearer.
Ginobili, who was assisting in the defense, secretly looked at it from the corner of his eye. The position Lin Shaojie pointed to was half a step outside the three-point line. With Leonard and his defensive strength, under normal circumstances, Lin Shaojie would not be able to shoot. That's all, after all, that guy has a long range.
But it is not usual now. The scorching environment will definitely affect the touch. Everyone can see Lin Shaojie's poor condition. The anxious stadium almost doubles the physical fitness of the players.
"Shouldn't it be possible?"
I don't know whether the question in my heart is asking myself or others. Ginobili can only do his best to cooperate with Leonard's defense. The two of them almost blocked all possible breakthroughs of Lin Shaojie.
When Lin Shaojie's continuous crotch dribbling and left and right lateral movement still failed to break through the opponent's defensive area, the two long arms almost blocked everything, and Lin Shaojie fell into a situation where it was difficult to fly.
And Lin Shaojie's overly "proud" behavior made the two of them not give him the slightest chance to project.
However, Lin Shaojie, who was facing people, was like a cannonball bouncing, and at the last moment, he carried Leonard half an arm's length away. Ginobili, who wanted to reach out to steal the ball, was even dodged sideways by Lin Shaojie.
Relying on the rebound force of "topping" Leonard, Lin Shaojie stepped on the area half a step outside the three-point line and suddenly jumped up. Leonard and Ginobili followed one after another. The defensive area formed by the two was dense. airtight.
However, with the two people's "lift-off," the upper body projected by Lin Shaojie did not have any tendency to get closer, but became farther and farther away.
The body leaning back seems to be floating in the air. When the two defensive players start to slide, the upper limbs that lift the ball finally rely on the power from the ground to go from bottom to top, from the feet to the back to the arms, and finally point to the ball. Pick the ball.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball flew over the heads of the two, making a faint sound. The two who turned their heads looked at the trajectory that drew the "rainbow", and then they just rubbed against the basket and fell into the net in a daze.
"Shh!"
Lin Shaojie, who took a step back after landing to vent his strength, shook his hand, and before his teammates swarmed over, he reached out to stop their celebration.
"The next ball, I will still shoot there."
Looking back, Leonard and Ginobili saw No. 13 uttering such arrogant words, as if a flame was ignited in their hearts.
Who is this looking down on?
The first goal can be regarded as carelessness, but can you score the second goal?
Leonard and Ginobili looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. As long as Lin Shaojie dared to do it, the two of them would stay by their side until the end.
When the Spurs' offense failed, Lin Shaojie once again attacked with the ball.
Same position, same ball-handler, same defender...
Everything, if you hadn't seen it before, this scene was really reflected in the hearts of the home fans like a replay.
When Lin Shaojie made the same move, blocking Leonard half an arm away, and then flew up, the home fans couldn't help but exclaimed, they had a premonition of the possibility of the next move.
Sure enough, as Ginobili jumped at the same time, the image of Leonard and the Argentine's double-arm interception and defense appeared in front of the fans again, and the Pacers' No. 13 made the same backward movement, gradually moving away from the defender , until the final shot...
"My God, I've never seen anything so outrageous."
With the sound of "swish", the basketball fell straight into the net. The director very interestingly cut the previous goal and this goal into two pictures, and displayed them in front of the audience at the same time.
If it wasn't for the different timings and the different positions of the other players, the offensive and defensive drills of these three players are exactly the same, like the original version and the high imitation.
The Spurs' two-man defense has almost no loopholes, but Lin Shaojie's skills are even better.
This fallback from beyond the three-point line not only showcases his jumping, waist core, but also upper body strength and precision.
Few people in the entire league can maintain such an efficient shooting rate under such a difficult fallback.
The audience is not blind, and after so many years of watching football, they can tell the difference between good and bad.
To be able to maintain such high efficiency in such a harsh environment on the scene is outrageous no matter how you look at it. Seeing this scene, all the Spurs fans felt a little bit separated.
It is said that......
Just heard.
Popovich is salivating over this player. If the team has Leonard and Lin Shaojie when the GDP trio is about to age, the Spurs will have no worries at the back line for ten years, as long as they find a reliable player. The inside line can continue to be brilliant again.
But this kind of thing can only be thought about. The NO.13 on the court has caused huge damage to the Spurs.
Two precise three-point long-range shots instantly brought the point difference back.
In the remaining three to four minutes of the first quarter, the Pacers played steadily. Lin Shaojie personally acted on the outside line against the joint defense of Leonard and Green. He used two outside lines to fall back three-pointers and successfully completed the critical moment. Let the difference between the Pacers and the Spurs return to within 4 points.
These two difficult outside shots are especially rare in this scorching first quarter.
And Lin Shaojie, who completed the task of chasing points, is also grateful for the end of the first quarter. He feels that he is the kind of "3 minutes" enthusiasm. If it takes longer, I am afraid he will not be able to complete it.
Leonard and Ginobili's two-person defense is definitely a super giant treatment. Coupled with the real environment of the away game, his physical energy consumption is too great.
Popovich was a little regretful. With a score of 28 to 24 in the first quarter, the Spurs at home did not take an absolute lead, only leading by 4 points.
If Lin Shaojie's two 3-pointers were deducted before the end of the game, the Pacers in the away game only scored 18 points, which is 10 points behind the Spurs.
From this point of view, the status of both parties is clear at a glance.
The Spurs want to rediscover the winning rhythm, don't worry.
The game has entered a stage where the Pacers are not good at, and everyone can see that the Pacers are not adapting.
During the break in the first quarter, Barkley in front of the commentary talked about interesting things about the league.
"Leonard and Lynn have entered the league one after another, and each has achieved good results, especially Lynn, who won the championship honor in his first season as a rookie...In fact, during the trial training, both of them shared experiences."
Speaking, Barkley said in a mocking tone, maybe it has something to do with him being a sun superstar.
During the trial training period, Leonard rushed to the Suns training camp, but he sweated too much due to nervousness, and his shooting was so bad that he finally let the uniform team give up directly. Afterwards, the general manager of the Suns, Lance Blanco, also said that they Leonard was not considered at all.
Anyway, this matter... once again shows the blindness of the Suns management.
As for Lin Shaojie, after Larry Bird "leaked" the news that Lin Shaojie had tried some teams, he had been inquired by reporters a long time ago. Lin Shaojie, who performed well during the trial training, was directly given up by the Suns manager.
You know, Lin Shaojie's draft materials were all prepared by the Suns' scouts. According to Sun's insiders, those materials were thrown into the trash without even being read.
This has only recently been reported in the news.
Such two parties, plus the relationship between Barkley and the Suns, after the whole topic was mentioned by Barkley, it became a hot topic in an instant.
And the Suns, who have fallen into a trough this season, are also devastated by this news. The best players of the previous two seasons just slipped away from them, and the boss wants to kill people.
Of course, these two should also be thankful that they were not selected by the Suns. After all, after Nash left the team, the Suns were almost useless except for the excellent performance of the team doctor.
Leonard's development in the Spurs and Lin Shaojie's outstanding performance in the Pacers will definitely far outweigh his struggles in the Suns.
Everyone who was resting off the court was crazily hydrating, and the players who couldn't play even cooperated with others to cool down the main players.
In just one quarter of the game, a veteran like West can already clearly see the huge consumption of physical energy.
"If we want to beat the Spurs, we must completely cut off their internal and external connections. On defense, we must ensure aggressiveness, press the whole court, speed up the rotation, and let our team advantage crush the opponent."
Frank had to say cruelly.
"Judging from the current Spurs lineup, apart from Duncan, they lack a final player. Of course, Parker and Ginobili can barely be regarded as such players, but I can guarantee that when Lynn is on the court, let these two Nothing.
So except for Duncan, almost all other players are functional players. As long as they can't play their own rhythm and lack players who can take over the game, they will face collapse. "
Frank finally set his sights on Lin Shaojie, who nodded in approval.
The Spurs are the team with the slowest offensive and defensive rhythm in the league, so Frank's tactic is to try to avoid entering the opponent's rhythm and getting caught in a positional battle.
Among them, Lin Shaojie, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of offense and defense, is indispensable. "Fucking" the main force, in the finals, anyone will do it, and Frank is no exception.
Besides, isn't the rest and recuperation of the regular season just for this moment!
