Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Four: No One Prevents Me
In the past few rounds, Embiid was not only in good condition on the offensive end, but also in excellent defensive end. Not only did he give Oladipo a big hat, but he also had many fill-up positions. Lin Sen basically never scored.
But Lin Sen has never scored, and the more important reason is that he did not take action. He only played 7 minutes in the first quarter, scored 5 points and 2 rebounds, and did not hold the ball in the second quarter. Naturally, there was no chance to score.
Lin Sen held the ball at the top of the arc and prepared to fight one-on-one. Embiid's speed was not fast, but it was not slow. Lin Sen didn't have any good chance to break through strongly, but there were too many dribblings, and the ability to grab the squad against the opponent's long lineup was not just a joke.
However, relatively speaking, Lin Sen's three-point ability was ignored. Embiid did not get too close, which to a certain extent was to prevent Lin Sen's breakthrough, but for Lin Sen, this distance was his range.
Lin Sen did not hesitate, and the three threats shook Embiid's center of gravity. After Embiid lowered the center of gravity, he suddenly pulled up and pulled it out. Three-pointers came into the net.
"The response came at this point in time. When the score difference was only two points, Lin's three-pointer was definitely considered the key goal." Barkley was very satisfied with his "long-term vision", which was definitely something that could be put into his commentary career.
Embiid waved his hand a little depressedly, and was a little annoyed that he did not post it at the first time. In his opinion, this was a complete opportunity to stop Lin Sen from taking such a comfortable move.
Next, Embiid enjoyed the treatment that Lin Sen often enjoyed on the offensive end and was hit by the ball. His pass-through ability was obviously not as good as Lin Sen.
Lin Sen is always able to pass it out as soon as possible when he encounters a pincer attack, and can accurately find who he should pass to. There are only a handful of players in the league with such ability, and Embiid is not one of them.
This pinched Embiid, who had just adapted to the Pacers' defense, did not react. The reason why the Pacers became the best defense team in this place is that their defensive players are excellent and they run well in this system. And there are several players with excellent defense as the core of the system.
But this is just the basis. Their defensive flexibility is very good. Lin Sen will be the best defensive player this year, but it does not mean that Lin Sen has not been able to defend on the defensive end.
This year, facing the Pelicans' two-tours' attacks, facing Towns' second game, Horford in the fourth game of the Celtics, and facing the Hornets' second game against the Hornets' first center Howard. Linson performed very average on the defensive end in these games. At that time, it was the Pacers' clamping inside to help the team defend better.
The 76ers' ability to adjust on the offensive end is not as good as that of the Pacers on the defensive end. In this round, they were not able to find their mobile phones at all under the attack of the Pacers.
In 24 seconds, the 76ers were defended by the opponent for 24 seconds at the critical moment when the Pacers once again opened the score gap, which became silent for the offensive state that had just woken up.
Lin Sen was a little unforgivable. The three-pointer just now made a little lucky. Now Lin Sen is starting to be in the inside position.
He began to wave to Gordon, who came from the bench, and asked for the ball: "No one defended me! Give me the ball quickly."
Lin Sen's shouting made some 76ers' players really unable to help looking at Lin Sen, thinking that Embiid had lost his position, but after looking at the defense line, Embiid stood behind Lin Sen, without losing his position at all.
Gordon's high suspension was stuffed into Lin Sen's hand. Lin Sen received the ball and turned left to a sky hook. With a 10-foot hook, Lin Sen's move was very difficult, but the basketball was as smooth as silk.
"Oh! It seems that no one is guarding me!" Lin Sen immediately launched a counterattack after succeeding.
Revenge is only at night, Lin Sen has always been like this. He doesn't care that this game has not been finished. Now as long as Lin Sen has a certain advantage, Lin Sen will fight back immediately.
Embiid was able to remain calm about the attacks off the field at the beginning, but now the two are attacking each other. Just now they mocked him and were immediately hit back, which made Embiid want to accept it.
He was about to take the ball and attack before playing back, but this time Lin Sen changed his defensive strategy even more. He went around to defend, Embiid had no advantage in the lower limbs against Lin Sen. His advantage in Lin Sen's physical confrontation was on the upper limbs, and this was of little help in the position.
After a long time of entanglement, the basketball didn't come in. Covington missed a three-pointer from the outside, and Embiid did not get the rebound. The offense in this round had nothing to do with Embiid.
"Lin is serious! He has shown a center level in both offensive and defensive ends." Fortunately, O'Neal didn't say how Lin Sen played, otherwise he would be slapped in the face again by this professional slap in the face.
"Aren't he the first team center?" Barkley hit the nail on the head, the first team center, which was originally the honor Lin Sen had already booked this season.
The 76ers also changed their defense style under Brown's instructions. Embiid was defending behind him and Covington interfered in front of him to catch the ball.
But Lin Sen still said the same thing: "Eric! Hurry up, pass the ball to me, good chance, no one guards me."
Covington suddenly felt a little suspicious of life when he heard it. No one was on guard against you, so what about me?
Lin Sen received the ball again, this time he was still a sky hook, but the direction of the turn was not the left, but the right. Because Lin Sen just turned left and hooked with his right hand, the position of the opposite attack was on the left. So Lin Sen turned decisively and successfully hooked with an exact same hook. The difference is that this time he used his left hand.
The same move is symmetrical at both ends of the basket, which is basically riding the defense of the 76ers to tell the opponent that you can't defend me.
This time, Lin Sen simply squirted trash on the 76ers' bench: "Hey! You better send someone to guard me! Otherwise I want to get 40 points tonight!"
