Chapter 328: Lin Sen and his four tools

"Don't think the second half is stable! We are just taking the initiative now." McMillan is still very serious now and is discussing the fairy ball players in the locker room.

With an advantage now, McMillan needs the Pacers players to play with one go. If it doesn't happen to him, James will likely not be in the starting lineup in the second half.

In the second half, the facts proved that this guess was indeed correct. In the second half, the Cavaliers did not let James, who played for 22 minutes in the first half, play at the beginning of the game, but instead played the three-back combination of Irving, JR Smith, Shampoo, Jefferson and Love.

On the offensive side, the only hope for this lineup of the Cavaliers is to play back on the offensive end, while on the defensive side, the rest of this lineup except Shampoo is equal to vain.

So when he first came up, Lin Sen used his height to force Jefferson to take advantage of his dislocation. They are also small forwards over two meters, and it is much easier to play Jefferson than to face James.

Both were all bull horn positions, Lin Sen just shook twice and found the position to cut in. After turning his back, he got rid of Jefferson in one step. Unfortunately, at this peak, he was considered an All-Star small forward. At the end of his career, he was actually overwhelmed by a center with speed. How embarrassing it was.

The Pacers took the lead by one point and completed the first lead in the game.

The Cavaliers' hopes were not placed on defense at the beginning. When this lineup was on the court, their purpose was to attack and then attack.

They were looking for the Pacers' defensive gap, but they had known that McMillan, who would not play, kept the team's defense in a ladder shape when he was on the court. James rested, and George naturally rested. If he wanted to curb James' performance, George had to be present.

But this does not mean that the Cavaliers' outside defense is not bad. CJ Myers and Glenn Robinson III paid similar tuition fees in the previous games, now they have a very good defensive state. Irving is being chased and intercepted wherever he goes.

In the Eastern Conference semi-finals, CJ Myers did a very good job in defending Lowry. Although I don’t know if it was the low buff of the garbage brother dragging Lowry’s hind legs, CJ Myers’ defense was still promoted by the media, but in the Eastern Conference finals, Irving was beaten up.

CJ Myers was probably knocked out by Irving in the first five games for about three and a half. The only thing Irving didn't explode in the first five games was because his feel was too bad. He was still a little confident in his defense, which is why he became the team's starter when playing against the Cavaliers and the Raptors, because the team may not need Hill to control the rhythm when starting, but he needs the defense of the back line.

Irving's breakthrough did not work. He transferred the ball in the air to Love, which made the player of one of the three big players complain because Lin Sen was on the front, and he was really not sure to fight the best defensive player of his little brother last year.

The other Cavaliers' players were running very actively, and they were still looking for opportunities to meet Love. The advantage of the small lineup was speed and projection, but the Pacers' team was not slow. When they played the Death Three Defenders on the opposite side, they were also CJ Myers Stakihill with Glenn Robinson's configuration and Linson's defense, and they dealt with it very cleverly.

There was no space or getting rid of it. The Knight's tactics could not be implemented at almost the same speed on the opposite side. This was too uncomfortable for Love. He had to attack Lin Sen head-on.

If he was still in the Timberwolves, he might have the chance to resist Lin Sen and make Lin Sen unable to jump or force a foul, but now he is struggling for players like Thompson and Barnes, let alone Lin Sen.

Love, who reached the horn position, found that he could no longer go further. He was disturbed by force layup and just touched the frame in front of him.

The Cavaliers fans were heard a little dissatisfied with annoyance at the scene. James performed very well tonight, but they are still at a disadvantage now. The other two other giants are definitely to blame for their performance.

They seem to have forgotten that in the past two years of regular season, the Cavaliers who lacked James won 5 and 9 losses. Neither Irving nor Love had tasted the playoffs before forming the Big Three with James.

When there was no James, they still had an effect on the second team, but when they were at a disadvantage, they could no longer play their offensive routines like the normal second team.

The Pacers' offense hit again, and Lin Sen still went to misplaced and looked for opportunities, but bullying the Cavaliers' inside line, which was very simple. After the Cavaliers came up to double-team, Lin Sen did not score the outside line that was focused on by the Cavaliers, but sent it to Glenn Robinson III, who had an empty cut into the inside line, and the latter made a layup.

As a regular season, he was almost replaced with a regular rotation lineup. Until he won the dunk championship in the All-Star Competition, he seemed to have found his playing style, defense and empty cuts.

After all, everyone in the Pacers' inside line except Al Jefferson has a first-hand three-pointer ability. Linson, Turner, and Thadis Young. These three-pointers allow this outside line with average three-pointer ability to gain a foothold in this team. You must know that physical talent is like Derek Williams, which is as difficult as the second-tier pick without three-pointers, and it is difficult to score in the Cavaliers without three-pointers, so the Pacers can make him so comfortable.

The Pacers' lineup does not have two All-Stars like the Cavaliers, but the other four can perform their own duties, and on the offensive end, Lin Sen was the core to play the magic effect of the 2009 Eastern Conference Magic vs. The Knights.

Their offense is efficient and their defense is fast. Except for Irving who can occasionally win a few attacks with super explosions, their normal tactical efficiency is very low. Often, they don’t find a chance after more than ten seconds, so it’s best to give the ball to Irving and Love.

In contrast, after the Pacers were given the ball to Lin Sen, the three outside defenders shot and run, and Glenn Robinson would cut at any time and anywhere in the inside, and the entire lineup would run smoothly.
