Chapter 445: Lin Sen thinks you are right
The Pacers fans were not too anxious. They played well in the 14 consecutive wins ahead of the Pacers. They were leading most of the time, but they also lagged behind. They had one game against the Raptors and one game against the Magic. They were all behind in the first half and finally turned around. And compared to last season, the Pacers were famous as slow-hot teams, and they believed they would play back in the second half.
The Pacers' coaching staff is also very confident that if Lin Sen did not play for 21 minutes in the first half, they would still be a little confident in the second half. Also, Oladipo also played a lot of playing time in the first half, which is also a problem.
The defensive lineup did not play an advantage, so the Pacers who are now behind double digits must pull out their offensive lineup and hit it. Linson tried to turn on the perpetual motion machine in the third quarter to make a comeback, which was completely different from the defensive lineup in the second quarter. Except for their dual-core Linson and Oladipo, the other three McMillan now uses Garynalli, Bogdanovic, and Glenn Robinson III.
However, the Pacers fans were not hit by them in their expected comeback. The Pacers' two most stable three-pointers, Gallinari and Bogdanovic, did not swing out the most important three-pointer in the league.
Garlinari can still understand that he is now at the No. 4 position, and Davis is defending him on the defensive end. Facing Davis, his physical fitness is behind in all aspects, he naturally can't find any good opportunities to make a phone call. What's more, everyone has known his characteristics long ago. It's okay to add icing on the cake, but there is no need for him to help him in time! But Bogdanovic seems to have been infected by the bad touch of Grant and Sadies Young.
Lin Sen played well in the third quarter with full skill, with 14 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, but such a swing did not help the Pacers complete the score. This is the problem. Solomon Hill inexplicably made up for the Pelicans' last shortcoming, Rondo often swung, and Gordon, a major outside attacker on the Pacers, was absent. Lin Sen was powerful on the offensive end but had no physical strength to use it on the defensive end. These factors combined affect the Pacers' overall swing.
O'Neal and Barkley watched the Pelicans have always had this advantage. If they hadn't been slapped in the face by Lin Sen too many times before, they would have started. Now they are very restrained, and then this restraint is restrained to the end of the game.
The last minute and a half left in the game, with a score of 94:1o7. I'm afraid no one except the Pacers' loyal fans would have expectations. The home audience gradually left. They couldn't bear to witness the team's first defeat in the season. O'Neal and Barkley were finally able to let go.
"Victory in the interior! The Pelicans Towers jointly contributed 57 points, 25 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks. They are worthy of being the strongest inside partner in the league now." Barkley said nothing wrong with this. The inside combination is indeed the strongest. The American team may use this set of inside combinations.
O'Neal also opened the data table. Lin Sen's move tonight was average. Compared to the January Player of the Year, he led the Pacers' fourteen consecutive wins. He scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. This is the first time he hit the stage this season. Davis and Cousins have not had a defensive effect in the inside. In addition tonight, the Pacers' outside line was not bad, except for the first quarter, they were collectively lost at other times.
"Lin is still very good."
This sentence also appeared in the reporter's mouth when Lin Sen was interviewed by Indiana local media!
"Not bad? No, I played the most difficult game tonight. I didn't have anything to say, I was suppressed." Lin Sen faced the familiar reporter, after all, a local media, and he must have been familiar with it after a while.
"There are two levels of insiders on the opposite side, and it's also suppressed..." This reporter obviously wanted to help Lin Sen find a way out.
Lin Sen said he didn't want to accept it very much: "Hey! Man! All I lost was a regular season game, not the finals, and I don't need to comfort me like this. I must admit that the opponent played better than me tonight. Maybe in two or two rounds, you felt that I suppressed the opponent, but the fact is that I lost tonight, from the data and the results, I lost."
The reporter smiled bitterly and said to Lin Sen: "You are the king of Indiana now. You must ensure that you will not admit defeat in your verbal words."
The Pacers fans now regard Lin Sen as a god, and the Pacers fans don’t want to see the scene of God falling down.
"Sometimes you need to lose some games to understand the team's problems. The Warriors, who won 24 consecutive games in 2016, had his problems with the Warriors who won 73 in the end. The Pacers are also a team with the same problems. We need to summarize our problems from the failure, which is what we should do now."
Lin Sen's answer is very satisfactory. What is the Pacers' goal? That is to win the championship. One or two failures in the regular season are acceptable to them. As long as they can continue to grow through these failures, there will be no problem!
After the news came out the next day, the Pacers’ fan forum praised Lin Sen’s interview!
"Yes, learn from failure."
"What's more, we don't have Eric's, we can play better!"
"The depth of the inside line is problematic. At least from this game, the outside line is the biggest reason, but why is the outside line inaccurate? Lin, as the core, did not rule the stadium! Then why didn't he dominate the stadium? When Lin alone had to compete with the two superstars on the opposite side, there was no substitute yet."
Immediately, a post that was bold and black-topped in the random shots appeared: We should make Lin no longer so tired.
Lin Sen, who will never forget to bring his mobile phone in training, saw this news at the first time. When he clicked in, he was as expected when he saw this news: "Lin needs a substitute for the meat shield. Lin only got a salary of 20,000 yuan and was already working at 40,000 yuan. The management was not satisfied, so he gave a substitute who could play together at any time. Another player who can basically only watch the water dispenser. This is more than Lin's center averaged more than 38 games? If it weren't for the fact that so many games in the previous three quarters, Lin might have been injured more than Eric."
Lin Sen looked very interesting and replied to this post directly with a small account: "Lin Sen thinks you are right!" Then he closed the forum and continued training. He was taught a lesson last night. Why, if you can't continue to win, you can't just lose like this! They have to face more than three weeks without Eric Gordon, and they still have many tough battles to fight next time!
