Chapter 274: When the losing streak is in progress

Lin Sen's left knee injury was resting for 2-4 weeks. As soon as this news came out, the Pacers fans who were concerned about Lin Sen's injury suddenly became more at ease. At least they were still in the playoffs, and there was still some time before the playoffs to find the state for Lin Sen.

Lin Sen, who had no game, was also very busy at this time. In just one or two days, he had received no less than 10 calls to ask about his injuries. The former Cavaliers teammates, Bill Walton, college mentors Bo Ryan, Decker and Kaminsky all called. His agent even brought a professional medical team to examine Lin Sen's contusions. In fact, after the examination, Lin Sen's injury problem was indeed not big, and it would not have any impact on his condition after his comeback.

"Lin, your feet really only need two to four weeks?" Rachel also called.

"Don't worry! You can participate in warm-up training in one week, and you can participate in the 3v3 and 5v5 competitions with ball confrontation in two weeks, and this is already a conservative plan."

Rachel was relieved when she heard this, but she called and had another thing to confirm: "I heard that you targeted the little defender on the opposite side very fiercely when you were against the Thunder. As a reporter, I am very curious about what kind of mentality you are against him, because his defense is good?"

"Of course, I will definitely be the best defensive player this year. After a defensive team, it is said that he can also enter the defensive team. I will check out what level he is and can enter the best defensive team with me, so as not to be considered by netizens to be not good at our best defensive team. In fact, he is still far from it." Lin Sen answered very seriously, as if he was really worried about the selection of the best defensive team.

Rachel smiled and did not expose it: "So that's the case! Then you should recover from your injuries and catch up with the game you played against the Celtics! I am the guest commentator of that game."

“It’s definitely OK.”

Lin Sen, who hung up the phone, became more active in rehabilitation. The game was 24 days later, just under four weeks, and it was a bit tight, but as long as you work hard to stay in shape, all this is not a problem.

Lin Sen's side is still injured and absent, which makes the Pacers' position in the East a little dangerous.

The last time Lin Sen was absent was when he was seven consecutive away in the West, he had three games rested due to complications of altitude sickness, and then they called out one win and two losses. Of course, this has something to do with the strong opponent, the Warriors and the Jazz. This time Lin Sen must miss the Warriors and the Jazz, which is a headache.

In the first few games Lin Sen missed, the Pacers played well. First, they won the visiting Hornets with a big score. Kaminsky also came over to visit Lin Sen, blaming him for not agreeing to greet him in Indiana. Why did he lie down on the bench first?

Lin Sen said he was helpless, but the walkers without Lin Sen still seemed to have the advantage of the whole process in the face of the Hornets, which made Lin Sen smile and said, "Frank, it doesn't matter if I was injured, anyway, the welcome ceremony does not seem to have changed."

This made Kaminsky laugh and cry. This is the thing you agreed to have with you? Then forget it, can't I just want it?

The Pacers defeated the Nets again and completed a good start in March. The two consecutive bottom teams were so happy to give away points, which gave the Pacers fans the feeling that they were still one of the top teams. Lin Sen once again followed the Player of the Month trophy at home.

In February, Lin Sen averaged 30.7 points, 12.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 3.4 blocks in 11 games in his appearance. This time, the best of the month seems to be unsuspecting, and Lin Sen doesn't have to play with people in person. Of course, this time, the best of the month only has two blue skill packages. The reward degradation principle has not changed here.

However, the next few games made the Pacers completely awake.

In the second game after March, the Pacers will play against the Warriors. If Lin Sen is not injured, the battle of revenge and the competition for the league's number one will be the gimmicks of this game.

Lin Sen's failure to play may have left many suspense at the beginning of this game. The Pacers' biggest center advantage is gone. Compared with the Warriors who are four All-Stars in other positions, this Pacers are still far behind.

In the first half, the Pacers were beaten at home and were almost 20 points behind. The Pacers' cheers gradually disappeared, and the scene became extremely embarrassing.

It was a good thing that lost to the Warriors. The league's first place was there, and Lin Sen couldn't play. Pacers fans were still able to accept this result.

The Jazz are the next game again. In this game, the Pacers have played very well. Turner did nothing wrong with the defensive end. From Linson's perspective, even if he plays on his own, it is not necessarily much better than Turner's defensive end.

But I can't stand the entire Jazz team tonight, and the Jazz's offensive focus has never been on the inside. Rudy Gobert has always been on defense. Although he averaged nearly 14 points per game, this is no different from Lin Sen in the early Cavaliers. Easyball is the only scoring method. He has about a little more than Lin Sen at that time, with his second offensive ability.

The Jazz's real strength lies in Hayward. Tonight, these two small forwards were on the verge of the squad against the marshal. The two of them fought wildly. Tonight, there was no Lin Sen. George returned to his most familiar style of play last year, with the ball on his own.

These two men became the redeem, and the other Pacers also stood up in the remaining time. Gordon scored 22 points on 8 of 14 shots, Hill scored 13 points and 8 assists on 5 of 11 shots. He replaced Linson in the whole game and became Turner who scored 15 points and 11 rebounds. Al Jefferson also performed well in the second team.

The Jazz were not frightened on the away game. They originally planned to find a way to get George Hill this season, while the Pacers originally wanted Jeff Teague, but because Teague and Linson were not in line, the three-party deal was stranded and eventually became a deal between the Jazz and the Hawks. Teague rushed to the Jazz. This time, Teague also used a 25-point match to respond to the Pacers.

However, it was not them who decided the winner, but George and Hayward. The data were similar until the last minute. George scored 32 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, Hayward scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3055. This is probably the strength of the top small forward, and the opponent's defensive ability is not weak.

In the last 15 seconds, the Jazz fell 1 point behind away, and the basketball went directly to the tactical move without hesitation to Hayward, who was catching the ball outside the three-point line. It was obvious that he was asking him to execute the last attack.

Time went very quickly, and there was no time for Gobert to come up to pick-and-roll. Hayward directly broke out from the right, without any hesitation in the attack. He made a jump shot while moving, with a big two-pointer, which was very difficult. He was not interested in going to the inside to challenge George and Turner's double-team, and directly completed the shot at this position.
