After the Christmas game, the Pacers' double guns continued to perform sluggishly, but the schedule will not become more comfortable because of your poor performance. The next game is also a strong team, and it is also a competitor of the Eastern Conference Celtics.

Linson's performance was also a game without any problems. Horford was beaten from the Hawks to the Celtics when they met Linson, and never changed. Every game was completely beaten by Linson from the offensive and defense period. Now the Celtics usually use him in the fourth position, while Aaron Baynes in the fifth position, and finally no longer needs to defend Linson on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, as the fulcrum of the Celtics, he is still seen by Linson.

Then the Celtics' style of playing tonight was different. They used Irving and Tatum to attack the inside line, especially when Lin Sen got off the court, they completely broke down with Shanghai Ward, Tatum, Brown and Horford's four-front lineup.

The Pacers were looking forward to as the two-back lineup did not accomplish what they were going to do. Lin Sen originally wanted to return to the court to play the defense back, but the Celtics were in good shape. Their three forwards put great pressure on the Pacers in height, but the two-back side did not play. The main problem was still that the shooting was inaccurate. The opponent's defense contracted strongly and the height on the forward line gave the Pacers' lineup, which was not high, a bigger test in three-pointers.

Two consecutive losses, the first consecutive defeat of the season, the first loss to the Warriors and lost the league first, this time, the Celtics lost the first place in the Eastern Conference, and lost two consecutive strong conversations. Even after that, the Pacers made a three-game winning streak and entered January, but they did not get rid of the fans' doubts about the Pacers' tough battle.

"Losing the Warriors first, then losing to the Celtics, why do you become unable to fight when you meet someone who can fight?"

"Faced with strong teams, flinched? Faced with weak teams and attacked with heavy punches?"

"At the beginning of the season, Indiana's media was still advocating that they would have 4 All-Stars. Now? I'm afraid the Celtics should have 4 All-Stars, right?"

When the first round of All-Star voting was in full swing, except for Lin Sen's position as the center, Oladipo ranked fifth among the defenders. In front of him, Irving, DeRozan, Wall, and Lowry were all ahead of him. The Raptors' King of North in the regular season was the real King of North.

In terms of the forward position, Garlinari is also not competitive. James and Antetokounmpo have almost secured the starting position in the Eastern Conference, not to mention that there is Horford after this.

Then there is definitely no one in the starting position. The substitute position is generally chosen by the coach. At this time, if you want to enter the All-Star, you rely on your record and influence. Now the Pacers have fallen to the second place in the East in terms of record. The strong dialogue will also win the Raptors and the Thunder, which is not safe for the Pacers players except Lin Sen.

Media news is already immune to a super keyboard warrior Lin Sen. Many times, Lin Sen does not pay attention to everything the media says bad news about him. As for Garlinari, he has been criticized by the media for so many years and doesn't care about this more than once.

But Gordon has always been questioned about the Pacers' double guard, injuries and Glass Man. These labels have never left him since he left the Clippers. Last year, he thought he had already come out after winning the championship, but in fact he is still easily affected.

Not to mention Oladipo, the reason why his performance last year was generally very big was that he was influenced by the media when playing with Westbrook. Now that he has an MVP-level player around him, he has also begun to be confused. Some media even said that Lin Sen is a lone hero.

They even compared Linson and Westbrook. Last year, the Thunder also lost one of their core starting small forwards, and the Pacers are now the same. And the Thunder became a one-man team. Westbrook became the super triple-double MVP last year, making it the first player to average triple-double in decades and a triple-double average of 30.

Therefore, they also think Lin Sen will do the same. These routines are similar to those of the Thunder last year.

But they ignored one thing. Last year, Durant left the Thunder and joined the Warriors. The Thunder did not even get a hair from the Warriors, while the Pacers traded. Oladipo, a defender who averaged 20 per game, and Grant, a 3D player, were both chips obtained by the Pacers. In the eyes of many people, this chip is naturally not as good as George, but it is better than nothing.

Moreover, the Pacers' big money in the free market this year also made their lineup thickness unequal than last year, which is completely different from last year's Thunder.

Linson was very angry. Just like when he was playing with Westbrook last year, he said that he didn't like being called one person and one city, nor did he like being a lone hero. These things have nothing to do with him. They are a whole.

After the time entered January, the Pacers' schedule began to become more difficult and far less easy than before. During the first round of winning streaks, the Pacers did play too many tank teams to make them easily win. At the beginning of January, Lin Sen still won the best of the month last month. Although their record was not as good as the Celtics, they could not withstand Lin Sen's data. However, just after winning the best of the month, they lost to the Jazz in a defensive battle, and the trophy became "milestone".

The score of 87:92 on both sides is considered a different style in this league that promotes the attack. Unfortunately, the Pacers lost this game in the end. Look at the biggest reason for losing, they are still their double guards. They are really confused.

Gordon's touch has declined. From the beginning of the Christmas game to the present six games, he has made a total of 34 three-pointers and 12 goals. His three-point shooting percentage in his early 30s is definitely not the Pacers' first three-pointer last year.
