Chapter 224: Commentary on the Christmas War
Lin Sen returns and the Pacers continue to explode. All this is natural. The game gradually goes on. In the December game, this team has never lost except for the two games that Lin Sen loses due to the absence.
As of December 23, the Pacers had a record of 9 wins and 2 losses. The Christmas game did not have their game, so now they are on holiday, and the next game is four days later.
Although they are the number one in the Eastern Conference and Indiana has a super basketball atmosphere, it must be admitted that Indiana is not a big football market. And their performance last year was not good, and George was not a star at the league's appearance. It seems natural that the Christmas game did not have them.
However, there were no Pacers players on the field, but in the commentary seat, the Pacers players would appear. Lin Sen was invited by espn to become the commentator of the Christmas battle, and there was only one game.
After receiving the consent of McMillan, Lin Sen also happily went there. The commentary he participated in was the battle between the Warriors vs. the Cavaliers, his old club and the four-star Warriors. The rematch of last year's finals is considered to be an early preview of this year's finals.
He missed his old guy a little. Although the Cavaliers' record this year is not as dazzling as last year's last year, they would be better off winning against most strong teams. Pacers, Spurs, Raptors, and Clippers are all defeated by him. However, at the same time, they were suspenseful when they fought against the Magic at the last minute, and they simply lost to the Suns. These are the situations when the Cavaliers faced weak teams last year's championship.
Lin Sen, Bill Walton, and Rachel became commentators who were involved in the Cavs' War. After this news came out, many fans said it was difficult to believe that Lin Sen and Rachel could still appear in the same commentator's seat in the same frame. However, as Lin Sen's fans, they believed this more.
"I have watched a lot of espn broadcasting games, and Rachel has developed from an enemy to a half-enemy and half-petish girl."
"The other twenty-nine teams in the league, at least 20 teams have been compared with Lin."
A video highlight appeared on the forum, Rachel's commentary. She was the commentary who was a novice last year. There were not many commentary games, but during these five-minute highlights, Lin Sen's name appeared countless times.
"This ball is too slow to defend. If it were Lin..."
"The offense of this ball is irrational. He should take the initiative to pass the ball to his teammates instead of forcibly playing singles. Even Lin can develop organizational capabilities, and the rest of them cannot develop it without reason."
On the one hand, I think Lin Sen is extremely talented, and on the other hand, I think that other people should also learn what Lin Sen learned. The contradictory mentality appears again and again in her commentary.
The Auckland stadium was full of Warriors fans. For them, this Christmas battle was also a battle of revenge. The team opposite defeated their dream of two consecutive championships in this place six months ago.
"Hey, long time no see," Lin Sen went to say hello to his old teammates before heading to the commentary seat.
"Hey! Welcome to the super center!" JR Smith started to tease when he saw Lin Sen.
"Wow, the number one super core in the East! The number one center!"
Rolling his eyes, Lin Sen said helplessly: "Don't brag about yourself like this! Didn't I lose to you in the first game?"
"Hehe, just know, we are the champions! Remember to support this game as a commentator."
"Impossible, I still believe in the four-star warriors."
Lin Sen and the Cavaliers got along. When the Warriors fans saw Lin Sen, their expressions were deeply disgusted. Last year, Lin Sen was definitely a nightmare for the Warriors like James and Irving. Fortunately, one of the nightmares has gone.
After saying hello, Lin Sen also returned to the commentary seat. Lin Sen and Rachel sat on both ends of Bill Walton. The only exchange between the two was the temporary "Three-point Competition" among the All-Stars. Although Rachel mentioned Lin more than once in the commentary competition, in fact, the two people had communication at that time.
Fortunately, Bill Walton is considered a super big boss of ESPN. This super center in the 1970s has a longer career in commentary than his player career. He has never seen any scenes before, and it is naturally easy to deal with his current state.
Lin Sen is considered a new center that Bill Walton admires more. Similarly, Bill Walton is also an old player Lin Sen likes. In the system's skill store, this big guy has three skills. The strongest defensive skill, the Red Giant's barrier must have two purple skill packs, while the organizational skill that Lin Sen has been drooling for a long time is a purple skill pack. This 1974-year No. 1 pick, 1977 finals MVP, and 1978 regular season MVP are definitely one of the most passable centers in NBA history.
From defense to passing, Lin Sen and Walton evolved are very similar. Perhaps Lin Sen is now a little stronger offensive and weaker organization. The two centers, who admire each other, will naturally not be in a mess.
"Lin! Have you noticed that among these two teams, the role of our type of players has been weakened?" Bill Walton looked at the starting list of both sides. Cavaliers: Irving, JR Smith, James, Love, TT, Warriors: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, Zaza Pachuria.
The centers of the two teams are TT and Zaza Pachuria. Both of them are typical blue-collar centers. They almost never hold the ball on the offensive end, and pick-and-roll is the duty. This is completely different from Linson and Bill Walton today.
Lin Sen shrugged: "Bill, this is the biggest reason why I left the Cavaliers. I have confidence in myself, but at the Cavaliers, they no longer have enough ball rights. I don't say there is something wrong with this system. After all, I won the O'Brien Cup with them last year. That's a very exciting thing. It will always be in my memories, but I also hope to win the O'Brien Cup with me as the core."
Bill Walton smiled. The little guy in front of him was quite interesting. He directly expressed the reason why he left his parent team in the Christmas game live broadcast across the United States. He didn't care at all whether he would be hated by previous fans. However, this is also the reason why he liked Lin. His college coach, legendary coach John Wooden, once commented on himself: On the basketball court, I was not worried about Walton at all, but as soon as he left the court, I began to worry. I was worried that he would be caught in the bureau, worried that he would cause traffic jams on the avenue, and worried that he would miss classes and go to the rally to make an anti-Vietnam War declaration.
