Chapter 239: Forced to lead the team alone
"Lin, you have to know that Giannis is leading the team alone, and the Pacers are not your team yet!"
"Giannis has no helper, and in this case, he has performed well enough, and you are a guy who relies on teammates."
"Lin has never tried to lead the team alone. I can feel that he is a good player, but without the restraint of Paul and Eric on the outside, he can't play so comfortable and play such beautiful data. He is stealing from Paul, and the Pacers belong to Paul."
Well, this is obviously George's fans. After all, Linson is in good shape this season. The cheapness of the tactical center makes Linson's data better than George. Linson has averaged 29.2 points per game, and George just relied on this game to barely make his average score exceed 23. However, this is impossible. This year, Gordon's brings away many of George's mobile phone opportunities.
However, Lin Sen was questioned and there was no way to do anything. This kind of "unreasonable" speech really made Lin Sen have no choice at all. Could he still let George not fight?
However, after today's training, George really couldn't play anymore. During a 5v5 training, George was tripped by CJ Myers while breaking through, and he was strained in a hamstring and was absent for two weeks.
Okay, no one has to question whether Lin Sen can lead the team alone. The next game can prove whether this is true.
Pacers fans are a little bit optimistic about the next Devil schedule. They feel that without George, the Pacers' position as number one in the East is in danger. They have about 3 wins, and this advantage is not big. They can play about 6-8 games in two weeks, and there is another face-to-face confrontation between the two teams, which is also a arduous challenge for the Pacers.
Fortunately, Lin Sen, who was "forced" to lead the team alone, had a buffer period. For the opponent in the first game, the Lakers in the West, the Pacers should have even without George's advantage.
Lin Sen, who came to Los Angeles, was very calm in his heart. A team that ranked second from the bottom in the West is not strong, so he is confident.
This year's Lakers are playing with certain requirements. Kobe's retirement tour season has ended, and it is time to pursue the record requirements. This is the offensive of the management and fans.
They have two second-tier picks in Ingram and Russell, excellent attackers like Louis Williams, talented juniors like Nick Young, Randall and Clarkson. If it weren't for the four-year and seven-year and six-year and four-year and six-year and four-year and six-year and four-year and six-year and four-year and six-year and one Lakers would have a chance to make the playoffs this year. But after spending an annual salary of 33 million, only two old fryers in the locker room were invited, which would be too uncomfortable for the Lakers.
I conquered the Knicks' Madison Garden Plaza, a basketball holy place, and now I will add a basketball holy place like Staples Center. It seems to be a very good choice.
This is the first time that the Pacers have played with a new starting lineup, Linson, Turner, CJ Myers, Gordon, and Hill. This is actually a bit difficult for the Pacers. Their outside defense relies heavily on George's height and assisted defense. Now this outside trio has become Miles, Gordon, and Hill. All three outside players are 200cm or above. The inside double towers are players above 210cm. There is a very obvious fault in the middle.
The Lakers' starting lineup tonight is more focused on training new players, using Russell, Nick Young, Roll Deng, Ingram, and Randall's lineup. Except for Roll Deng and Nick Young, the other three are young people full of talent, and the two second-tier picks are the cornerstone of the Lakers' future.
Although Lin Sen was still the center in the position tonight, after reaching the defensive end on the court, Turner faced Randle, while Lin Sen ran to the position against Ingram. I wonder if it was because of Antetokounmbe that Lin Sen seemed to have already had the experience of defending against these three and four swingers.
At the beginning, the Lakers gave the ball to two second-tier picks to deal with it. Russell received the ball and faced Hill's single-handed challenge. As a real old man, Hill played a very old man's style of playing, which is normal, but Russell, the opposite man, also had a 20-year-old young man, also faced Lin Sen with his old man's style of playing.
At the top of the arc, the two men dribbled the ball and looked for opportunities were stalemate for more than ten seconds. After the last slow floor breakthrough, they turned around and made a jump shot.
Such an offense seems to be incompatible with the fast attack of the defenders in the league, but this guy's skill is really good. Although the breakthrough speed is not fast, it is easy to find a chance to end at mid-range. If you want to say who is better to defend him, George sitting on the bench is undoubtedly a good candidate. After all, height advantage is the best one to deal with this kind of outside player who relies on skills to shake off the shooting space.
After George was injured, the Pacers looked for Lin Sen's offensive point more clearly. I don't know if the Lakers were thinking too much or what. On the other hand, the Pacers used Lin Sen to defend Ingram, so they used Ingram to defend Lin Sen. This seemed to be a little too beautiful.
Lin Sen easily got to the edge of the penalty area, and took the ball and squeezed it out, squeezed it away, hooked his hand and made a layup to make it easy. To be honest, Lin Sen had almost never played such an easy attack in the inside. He didn't need to do more, just use his body to attack. In the past, others hit him like this, but now Lin Sen hits others like this. Although he is extremely thin and has more time to appear in the third position. But this is the first time Lin Sen has hit his opponent's counterattack instead of changing defense to himself.
"Hey! Novice, your body is too weak and you need to strengthen your body. If you need some help, I think I can give you good advice." Lin Sen greeted Ingram with a smile.
