At this moment, Lin Sen and the Cavaliers fans, who were originally harmonious, instantly cooled down. Everyone was happy when they competed for the All-Stars. Now it was really time for Lin Sen to talk about the Eastern Conference. The two sides are not as friendly as before. This game is definitely a life-and-death game!

The Cavaliers' off-dish moves worked at the beginning of the game. Lin Sen was in a normal state. He first missed a hook when facing TT's defense, while the Cavaliers on the opposite side made a very fast attack counterattack.

The Pacers have a very layered sense of defense and counterattack. The outside line runs fast or stands outside three-pointers to delay the first time, and Lin Sen's speed is enough to allow the players to occupy the penalty area after delay. Therefore, facing the Pacers, most teams' fast breaks will either be converted into positional battles in the end, or end with a mid-range shot or a three-pointer that goes back.

This time, Lin Sen's advancement on the defense was not as fast as he imagined. James on the opposite side was a typical counterattack expert. Some of the reasons why the center rarely competes in the inside line are because of this reason.

The NBA's pace is getting faster and faster. Once the center fails to attack at the basket, it will be difficult for the opponent's fast counterattack to return to the right place quickly. For NBA players, the 4v4 offense is much easier than 5v5.

Compared with other centers, Lin Sen's offensive efficiency in the inside is already very high, but once he makes a mistake, he is easily beaten to counterattack, not to mention that his condition is very average now.

"Why did Lin perform like you in the first quarter today?" Charles Barkley said to O'Neal next to him dissatisfiedly, "Only you are so lazy in the first quarter, and your return to defense is so slow."

O'Neal felt that he was being provoked and was very unhappy: "Hey, hey, please pay attention to the situation? At least I won't run so slowly in the first quarter!"

Two commentators often comment on Lin Sen's games. Lin Sen's popularity has increased dramatically this season. George, who was originally very popular, has a good record. Therefore, they have become many of the targets of live broadcasts across the United States. They have almost watched at least 30 games, including Lin Sen's games. They have almost never seen Lin Sen play so weakly at the first time of the game.

Eric Gordon felt good here and directly hit the Pacers' first goal. Unfortunately, when they turned around, their defense was not as good as last year! Irving's breakthrough rushed to the mid-range position, which should have been Lin Sen's position to defend the position of the replacement.

But Irving easily hit a mid-range shot at this position again. Compared to three-pointers, Irving's mid-range distance is more stable, and he is one of the few players who like to end at mid-range. After all, height and bounce make him twisted layup every time. Moreover, as a big fan of Kobe, Irving's use of Kobe's picturesque backward jump shot is not bad at all.

This time, Lin Sen's defense was a little slower. Immediately, Irving's leaning back was done directly, and Lin Sen's height, wingspan, and bounce speed were completely ignored.

On the one hand, the Cavaliers' offense is very good, and on the other hand, the Pacers' defensive end is very ordinary. As the core of the defensive end, Lin Sen's reaction tonight was very average, as if he hadn't slept enough. But the fact seems to be that he didn't slept enough.

13:19, the Pacers' offensive end relied on Eric Gordon and George and barely supported it. The score was 6 points behind in the quarter and Hainan accepted it. However, McMillan felt that it would be better to let Lin Sen go down and rest instead of letting him continue playing on the court without any condition.

He was replaced in 6 minutes, which is considered the earliest time Lin Sen ended in the playoffs. The players who used to support the Pacers' offense and defense in the first quarter were already sitting on the bench.

Lin Sen was very depressed. His depressedness was that his performance was very average. What was even more depressed was that he had just finished the verbal battle before the game. Now he was a little like the players he criticized with in the previous game. Imagine Antetokounmpo, Wall, and Thomas Jr. In the past, it seemed that they were the ones who were defeated in the game in the end. Now at this time, he seemed to have entered the roles of the previous players.

However, when the Cavaliers' home fans saw Lin Sen's poor performance, all of them suddenly became enthusiastic. The Cavaliers fans sitting on the bench behind Lin Sen were the most "enthusiastic".

"If we want to make it impossible for us to break through the east, Lin, you have to wait for LeBron to retire!"

"If you want to rule the east, Lin, you are still a little too young now. Let's try to rule the east after two years of growing up!"

"Didn't you mean we can't break through the East from now on? Sorry, you can't do it this year."

There is no way, Lin Sen has never been the kind of player who is at the disadvantage of his own. Now he just forced his eyes to close his eyes and lay comfortably on the bench during the game. Yes, several substitute players were rushed to swing their towels by Lin Sen.

The large screen of the Quick Loan Center has not been given to the middle of the stadium, but has turned the screen to Lin Sen, who is now lying on the bench very comfortable.

With Lin Sen's fate, the score difference between the Pacers and the Cavaliers became increasingly larger. After all, Lin Sen's offensive and defensive deterrent power was there. Even if he didn't perform well, it was a real existence that the Cavaliers had to pay attention to when they were on the court. What's more, the Cavaliers' weakness lies in their inside defense.

"Hey, hey, hey! The difference between points is getting wider and wider, and Lin is lying on the bench and sleeping? Is he going to give up this game?" Charles Barkley smiled and looked at the scene cut by the director, shook his head, not understanding what Lin Sen was doing.

O'Neal nodded: "This is probably the last gift Lin gave to Cleveland. Let another game be made at the opposite home court? Is this saying that no one disturbs me and let me finish this game well on the bench?"
