Chapter 448: Trash talk hits hard
Gordon's condition gave the Pacers a shot of heartburn. The fatigue of the 7 consecutive visitors returning to the home court was wiped out. Now their condition is full, but the same is true for the 76ers who came from afar.
They played very patiently, counterattacking depends on Simmons, and positional battles rely on Embiid. These are two different attack modes of the 76ers. Embiid wanted the ball, but Lin Sen did not intend to let him receive the ball comfortably. Lin Sen directly and decisively defended. He didn't want Embiid to receive the ball comfortably in the inside and then fight him one-on-one. This would definitely be a difficult part to defend.
This roundabout was very good. Lin Sen's air defense ability was very strong. The ball could not be transmitted at once. Embiid was forced to come outside to catch the ball. At this time, his strength advantage would not be so obvious. He could not directly hit Lin Sen's penalty area from the outside of the three-point line and then scored. After receiving the ball, he was forced to take a three-pointer without a hit when the offense was not going well.
The inside lineman was very difficult to protect, and the Pacers started their counterattack instead. Gordon, a comeback defender, was very active in such a counterattack. This time he simply took advantage of the advantage of the center and stopped and shook off Simmons, who was chasing the defense, hit a difficult three-pointer.
"Hey! Rookie, this is! Forget the games you won before, they are all rookies! And today, I will beat you!" Gordon didn't talk much, but this was his comeback game. At the same time, he encountered this rookie who had not played a game before he had played a game and played well in the first month and won the rookie of the month. After playing with Lin Sen for a year, he naturally started to spit out trash talk.
Gordon was already quite gentle, while Lin Sen continued to get crazy with Embiid, while his trash talk was basically not stopped.
"Joel, it is said that you are a rookie in 2014. Have you played in total in the previous three years? All rookie contracts will be child labor contracts for superstars, but you seem to have become poison contracts. You have to thank the management of the 76ers. In this case, you can sign a big contract with you, which is really touching."
"Brother, want to catch the ball? That's impossible. You have to dribble outside! You don't think I'll sing on the court to stay in China-Africa friendship forever, do you forget, you may have forgotten how to dribble the ball after lying on the hospital bed for too long."
Embiid had never met Lin Sen before. Embiid played only 31 games last year, and the matches he met with the Pacers were all not included. He just heard that Lin Sen was a trash talk king, but when he made those words on Twitter, many Pacer fans fought back very vigorously. Instead, Lin Sen, who was said to have become the trash talk king, kept silent. But tonight, Lin Sen let Embiid see the combat effectiveness of trash talk, remained silent on Twitter, and punched hard on the court!
Lin Sen just forced himself in front of Embiid for about three minutes, which made Embiid unable to stand it. He planned to take the ball and start attacking from outside. He had to complete a score on Lin Sen's head to prove himself.
When he got the ball, he was intercepted! Embiid himself did not react and he had no chance to play against Lin Sen on the outside. Even those guards with average dribbling skills showed too many fun life in front of Lin Sen and Lin Sen dared to steal. If Lin Sen didn't take such a dribbling attack, it would be strange if Lin Sen didn't take action. Embiid had not practiced basketball for a long time. He had three points, but it does not mean that he had enough basic abilities and could start attacking from outside the three-point line. These are not his advantages.
"Joel must have been stimulated by Linson's trash words. This offense is not the way he should play!" O'Neal looked at Embiid's poor performance. He clearly saw that Embiid was playing at the rhythm he was unfamiliar with. It was like letting him play at the three-point line. Even if he dominated the paint area, he was called the most dominant in the paint area.
Lin Sen sprayed trash words at Embiid again and again on the big screen. Buckley understood this matter in an instant: "Lin must be spraying trash words to Joel. The three hundred rounds of the Twitter battle is what Joel is good at. Squirting each other in person? Lin Ke never cowards anyone!"
There is nothing wrong with this, especially Lin Sen exchanged many blue skill packs for many trash talk skills to improve himself. Unfortunately, Larry Bird, who forced the king of Kings, was not the center, which made Lin Sen unable to learn from him that was called the strongest trash talk in history.
The 76ers are a young team, and their five starters are very young. Except for Reddick, the rest of them are still during their rookie contracts. Most of the young people at this time have several advantages:
First, the ball is rising fast! They may have evolved from a substitute level to a starting level in one month or two months. Like Lin Sen, who originally thought it was just a water dispenser in the second round, and those who were quasi-All-stars all became the best rookie that year.
The second point: they have impact. They are very capable in the game. Those who strive for victory will think of showing themselves and are full of energy on the court.
The third point: cheap. The most expensive starter for the 76ers is Redick who can play 2,300 yuan in a year, and the other four people are about the same as Redick. The total funds of this starting lineup are also the advantage of the team's salary space. It is definitely a huge advantage for them next year. This year they are themselves.
However, using new players, especially new players as the core, usually makes the new players better at the beginning. For example, at the beginning, it is like Magicians, Johnson, James, O'Neal, and Linson, and every super player is practiced with ball rights to a large extent. The same is true for Kobe, and his ability is also gradually developed with ball rights.
