Chapter four hundred and twentieth: Garnett with iron head
With two three-pointers, the difference reached 10 points. Lin Sen made not too many three-pointers this season, but there were also quite a few, but more of them were the open passes received after competing with his teammates. He averaged about 3 shots per game and made only 1.3 per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.4%. Even if this three-point shooting percentage was not low among the defenders.
But after all, this is a center. After he made these two three-pointers, the score difference returned to 10 points. More importantly, he was a little confused by these two three-pointers on the opposite side of the Raptors. Their defense must be expanded from outside.
The Raptors' offense in the next round was still choosing the inside line. DeRozan ran out of the position and directly hit the basket three steps, while Lin Sen's interference was still there. The biggest problem with this ball was that it should not be chosen. The best choice was to directly shoot in the middle when receiving the ball. He seemed to be a little untrusted enough in his mid-range shot.
In fact, his CNY is already very good. When this league is pursuing three-pointers too much, it is difficult to see a defender who can make CNY so good, so correspondingly, his three-point ability is very bad.
So he must be closer to the basket, which is his advantage, but the closer he is to the basket, the more you have to accept Lin Sen's defense, which is not a good thing. After Lin Sen's interference, Gallinari finally got the rebound.
After pushing forward, Eric Gordon came more simply, and handed the ball to Lin Sen outside the three-point line. Valanciolos was hesitant to chase after him. It was a bit difficult for him to defend Lin Sen outside the three-point line. In the inside, if Lin Sen wants to hit him one-on-one, it still requires footsteps and offensive skills, but it is different for him to defend at the three-point line. If he is too afraid of Lin Sen's three-point line, then if he is too close, he will be forced to eat by Lin Sen using his speed.
If he had naturally made some choices about this at the beginning, but unfortunately, Lin Sen just hit two three-pointers in a row. Now he feels hot, how dare you let it go?
Valanciulos is difficult to control this distance, while Lin Sen played unexpectedly and started to accelerate as soon as Valanciulos lifted his body up. The speed was very fast, and Ibaka's assisting defense was also very fast. He was the second place in the best defensive player, the second place in the blocking player, and the Thunder's core of the defensive system at the time, and his assisting defense was never slow.
no look pass! It’s not just not watching people passes, but also a back pass. Perhaps because of unexpected surprise, Lin Sen’s pass was not intercepted when he passed through the defensive area of the two Raptors players. Garlinari, who received the ball, did not make any contribution on the defensive end. Then on the offensive end, he could no longer continue to paddle, and such a three-point opportunity would naturally not be missed.
The third three-pointer was made. The second half of the game had just started in about 3 minutes. The Raptors Lin Sen made two three-pointers, Garlinari and three-pointers instantly pulled the gap in the score back to 7 points. The two insides were scored. The Pacers' outsides have not taken any action yet, but can you let their outsides go?
Gordon's three-point shooting percentage of 41.3%, Oladipo's 38% is not too high, but not low. Bogdanovic is really exactly the same as his nickname. Are you kidding about Peja Croatia?
Such a lineup is extremely restrained by the Raptors' double towers on the offensive end, especially when they feel excellent, with 5 three-point shooters, which really makes Valanciulos only shout one thing, it's really hard for me.
Three-point rain is undoubtedly the best way to recover the score difference. Judging from the current trend, the Pacers seem to have such a situation, so Casey will naturally not let the situation continue like this. He immediately replaced Valanciulos to curb the Pacers' three-pointer.
But all of this was under McMillan's expectations. When I was on the Raptors' big and four, Ibaka topped the center, the Clippers' tactics began to change. Oladipo strengthened his number of attacks on the basket, while Lin Sen once again helped his teammates attack from the outside pick-and-roll. Oladipo was obviously a defender who was very good at pick-and-roll to use the pick-and-roll to maximize his speed advantage.
The Raptors also resolutely switched defenses after pick-and-roll. Ibaka's defensive ability is trusted by them, so at this time, their defense is also needed to help the Raptors complete this big defense. This duel is very interesting. Ibaka vs Oladipo, which is the main bargaining chip for the Thunder and Magic a year ago. What's interesting is that Ibaka is now in the Raptors and Oladipo is in the Pacers.
Oladipo naturally wanted to prove his ability. In a rising star period, he was used to trade a veteran, not an All-Star. This was a blow to him at that time. Now this positive and relative appearance has further aroused Oladipo's desire to attack the frame.
Lin Sen also wanted to respond to Oladipo's attack, but Oladipo didn't look at Lin Sen at all. Lin Sen put his hips on his hips outside the three-point line and looked at Oladipo who was hitting the basket. This little brother is about to fly!
Oladipo did fly up. At this moment, he flew higher, and Ibaka also jumped very high. Oladipo's strength gave him a very good foundation, such as: the foundation of the buckle, the left arm was pressed against Ibaka's chest, and the right hand held the ball and bypassed Ibaka's arms and then completed a buckle from the side.
"Hey hey! This is a tough attack, and Lin should have completed a dunk like this. But I guess I can't see it in today's game." Garnett didn't want to praise the Pacers, but he had to be impressed by Oladipo's dunk, but he was just suspicious of Lin Sen? This is impossible to end.
But what you can see with your naked eyes is that at the beginning of the third quarter, the Pacers sent the Raptors 11:0 and quickly recovered the score. But at the beginning, Garnett said that if Lin Sen could not show his toughness, then the Pacers would not be able to recover the score. But Garnett would never admit this slap in the face. It is not impossible for everyone to see how tough Lin Sen performed on the defensive end. When he grabbed the hat in the air, he could have completely seen Lin Sen's desire to win this game.
