Chapter five hundred and seventieth: I am an all-star
After Lin Sen succeeded continuously, the score was at least visible, but it was still not as good as a counterattack against Green. And even if Lin Sen played very well in the next period of time, it was not their advantage now.
Lin Sen's final performance in the final quarter was indeed a result of the Pacers' score back, but Lin Sen almost played the whole quarter and was destined to be unable to be on the court at the beginning of the second quarter, but now he is 14 points behind.
"Hey guys, we didn't have Lin at the beginning in the second quarter. At this time, Victor, I hope you can solve Andre's defense against you in this game. He is old. Not an All-Star, not the best defensive team. You should beat him hard on the court instead of being suppressed by him with defense like now."
In several consecutive games, Oladipo basically did not make any good contributions in chasing points and sequential stages. Instead, he always relies on fast breaks to score in chasing points. Such results are indeed a little different from European double shots. He is now an All-Star with a salary of 2,000,000. In the first game, such data may still be that Pacers fans may think that he may be in a bad state today, or something, but this is the case in the entire series. No matter how good he performed before this, if the finals were bad, then in the summer, the remarks of criticizing or trading him will definitely be flying all over the sky.
"No problem, boss, I will do my best!"
"It's not about doing what you can, but you have to do it, and if we want to win, you have to do it."
The whistle in the second quarter just sounded, and the Pacers fans were cheering on the spot. Many of them were old fans and understood how much pressure Lin Sen was on the Pacers now that he was not on the court.
In the second quarter, the Pacers' lineup became Oladipo, Bogdanovic, Grant, Garynerli and Turner. This lineup had to last at least 3 minutes on the court, and in the end, it could still play a little overtake in the opponent's lineup, which could narrow the gap to less than 10 points.
Kerr seemed a little cautious because of the last game. He did not let Durant and Curry return to the court together as soon as possible, but instead asked Curry to start leading the team.
Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Nick Young, and Green's lineup is a replica of their five-metre-sized lineup. Their highest is probably Green, an inside player who has just made it to the top two meters. Cole knew that Lin Sen of the Pacers could not play at this time, and as an old opponent, he had a certain understanding of all the Pacers players.
If Turner had a certain threat to the penalty area last year, then this year, it was basically difficult to see Turner cut in from the outside to complete the air operations, and he was more likely to take mid-range or three-pointers, and he was more like a space-type inside line.
Such an inside line is a general trend in the league overall, and there is no problem. Even Green himself should say that he is a space-type inside line. The problem is that the Warriors are least afraid of is such an inside line. You don’t put enough pressure in the penalty area. With Green’s defensive characteristics, he can easily complete the defense he wants to do.
The Warriors expanded their defense greatly, and at this time they wanted to strangle the Warriors' three-pointer. And at this time, the Warriors' target center of gravity was not Oladipo, but the European double-gun that performed well in the last game!
It's fine to forget the last game, but why is this the case? Iguodala defends Garlinari, Thompson defends Bogdanovic, and this defense against this match is about killing the pair of shooters.
Oladipo looked at Nick Young in front of him. This player who is famous for singles is used to defend himself. This is an insult to himself!
Without saying a word, he took the ball and was looking for Nick Young to play. Oladipo, who had a lower center of gravity and faster change direction, passed the first step in facing Nick Young, and the Warriors chose a very external expansion style at this time point, which also made them not seek any benefits at the first time.
The emptiness of the inside almost exposed the entire penalty area to Oladipo's offensive area, and kicking his legs was an easy tok axe dunk.
In the Pacers team, Lin Sen is undoubtedly the one who dunks the most. Even in the entire league, he has the most dunks, but in this team, Oladipo is the second most dunks. As a short guard who just passed 190cm, his dunks are definitely a lot.
The Warriors' defense changed very quickly. When Oladipo just completed this dunk, they had already changed their defense. Iguodala quickly changed positions in front of Oladipo.
"It's just that I didn't defend you for one round, and you seem to think you are a superstar? Sorry, now I'm here." Iguodala basically faced the opponent's outside sharp swords on the defensive end. He used to be able to carry the opponent's James, but now it doesn't seem to be a problem to carry the opponent's Oladipo.
But Oladipo did not answer, but was very decisive at this time to respond to Iguodala's defense with his actual offense.
The top position of the arc is not called a pick-and-roll. He hopes to use his offense to solve this round, but he still changes direction. Although Iguodala is older and may not have any advantage in moving speed compared to Nick Young, his experience on the defensive end and technical options are definitely the best Nick Young.
The opponent directly pushed back the first breakthrough. Oladipo did not give up the idea in a hurry, but continued to search and almost go to the inside.
Turning around and breaking through the non-idiopathic direction on the left, he did not get rid of it. Oladipo chose a mid-range distance to retreat. Compared with his three-pointers, both the Pacers' team's internal and external dual cores are better at solving problems at mid-range. Linson and Oladipo, both of whom hold the ball, like to end at mid-range, and the same is true for another player holding the ball. Others, such as Bogdanovic and Gallinari, are distributed outside the three-point line.
This middle distance is very beautiful, with Jordan and Kobe's backward feeling.
Therefore, the Pacers' offensive level is actually very clear. Each of them is doing what they are best at on the offensive end. Even if there is no Lin Sen now, the three-pointers are only about 34% in the playoffs, and Oladipo is also using his own defense to help the team.
