After that, the Pacers still have a very difficult game. After playing the Rockets, there are still several strong teams waiting for challenges. For example, the next game is a challenge from the Celtics, who have surpassed the Cavaliers and Raptors to the second-place Celtics in the East.

The advantages and disadvantages of this Celtic team are very obvious. Their inside line is not strong. Although they strengthened Howard this year and chose a young second-tier forward and swingman, Howard was completely defeated by Lin Sen when he was in the Hawks. His offensive routines are completely useless for Lin Sen, and his organizational ability is completely useless. When Lin Sen fought in front of him, his vision was only half of his usual height, wingspan, and these are easy to cause trouble to him.

Unfortunately, the Pacers still ended their winning streak in this game. The Celtics played very well in this game. They played an excellent team basketball under the training of young coach Stevens.

There is a top player in their team, the strongest in history, Isaiah Thomas. This 175cm defender with the same name and surname as the former Smiling Assassin is the third player in the scoring list this season and the top ten player in the MVP list. By the way, when it comes to this, Lin Sen seems to be the top ten player in the MVP list. Unfortunately, the two people still haven't made it to the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Stars. This is the difficulty for the new face.

Tonight, the entire Celtics were serving Thomas. The pick-and-roll in the high position was fast and simple, and the split was very reasonable. Thomas was able to pull out three points directly after a pick-and-roll step. Even Lin Sen had no time to defend, but he completed the shot. Moreover, such a ball tonight did not seem too difficult for him.

When Lin Sen was very aggressive, he did not want to challenge Lin Sen's defense, but transferred the ball to Horford. At this time, the All-Star who was not guarding Lin Sen could organize the game with his back. Bradley, Jaylen Brown, and Boston Iron and Steel Factory Director Smart were all good players without the ball. It's no wonder that the Celtics' record came from behind in the middle of this year, surpassing the Raptors and surpassing the Cavaliers to second in the East.

The Pacers struggled until the last 5 minutes in this game. They knew that Lin Sen had completely collapsed due to 6 fouls. It has to be said that Lin Sen's existence had a profound impact on the Pacers' offense and defense. After Lin Sen made 4 fouls in the third quarter, Stevens, who showed his old fox characteristics at a young age, frantically let the team attack the inside and kept cutting off the point that specifically attacked Lin Sen.

Lin Sen could only end up depressed when he got his sixth foul. The fans of Bankers' Life Arena gave him warm applause with great shame. Tonight, Lin Sen almost ended up with the Celtics' unlimited impact on the inside. He also scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists on the offensive end, and made 6 free throws, and 4 blocks on the defensive end. It is hard for you to ask him to do more.

However, the fans' applause did not comfort Lin Sen. He covered his face with a towel at the end of the game, looking very frustrated. This game can only be said to be defeated by the opponent's team.

"Lin! Don't worry, wait for me to come back." George patted Lin Sen on the shoulder. This defeat made George feel a little confused.

On the one hand, Lin Sen took this Pacers without him and CJ Myers to kill the Rockets and won a winning streak. If they were to kill the Celtics, it would be really not scary to win. It would be embarrassing to be without anyone else. Without Lin Sen, they were beaten by the Warriors and the Jazz.

On the other hand, as the "boss" of the Pacers, at least now, the team still arranged George to play the last game. In this game, the Royal City PK, which is the first in the East and second in the East, he naturally does not want the Pacers to lose. The advantage of being the first in the East is still very obvious, and they don't want to meet the Cavaliers in the semi-finals.

Lin Sen nodded with a towel covering his head. If he loses this game, he will lose. After the All-Stars, he will have to play two more games, and then he will decide the winner.

The media reports were still very fast in a match between the first and second in the Eastern Conference, but in the report, all the media did not belittle Lin Sen at all. Lin Sen's performance was not a problem. He could score, grab boards, assist, and defend, and he was just 1-5 away from being able to play. However, after missing a core and a main rotation, he still lost the game. This was impossible.

Compared to the media discussing Lin Sen, the Pacers' own forum is paying attention to the Celtics, a future opponent, a super scorer, a qualified second-in-command, an excellent head coach, and an offensive and defensive system and chemical reaction suitable for the team.

"The Celtics will become our difficult opponent in the East. Isai Asia is sporty. Although he is only 175cm, he has amazing talent in fouls. Lin took three fouls tonight. And this little man scored 33 points tonight. None of us can do that. His three-pointer is too accurate."

"This year they won Al Horford for $110 million. Many people think this signing is a big loss. Now it seems that he is not at a loss. He is the core of the team. He can do too many things, pass the ball, assist the defense, except for letting him deal with Lin and forcibly scoring, he can do almost anything. To be honest, when facing Lin, his performance is far from normal."

"The speed is very fast, but more of the reason is that the Celtics play is too small, which leads to us being able to play one, one, four, and the absence of CJ Myers and Paul George has led to us missing the two best outside defense vanguards. Lin had to assist the defense on the outside again and again to make up for the defense breakthrough. It is naturally easy to get 6 fouls. We have an advantage in fighting with all the players."

"I hope we can keep the number one in the East! This direct dialogue between the number one in the East and the number two in the East was lost, and we have only 1.5 wins in the lead now. We have to face the Bulls in the next game. This year's Bulls are also in the playoffs!"

"More than that, man, Jimmy Butler, the Bulls' core, is also a contender for Lin and Paul's All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference. Paul's injury has begun to make his second position unstable. If we lose to him at this time, it will not be good news for Lin, who wants to become the All-Star starter."
