Chapter five hundred and eighty third: helpless bottom line

On June 9, the Pacers flew to Oakland to prepare for their third game. Fans were curious about two things.

One of them is whether the Pacers can do the sweep of the Warriors in Oakland. The playoffs have been swept continuously, which is a feat that no team at the historical level has ever accomplished.

The other thing is about Lin Sen's personal status. As the first center player who is fortunate to be a detailed player, whether the toxic milk performance of detail can still play 100% effect when facing him is something that everyone wants to know.

The Warriors' home court Oracle Arena has a group of fans who have always been crazy. They are very comfortable with how to create some difficulties for away teams in the home court. For example, at this time, wearing neatly-dressed yellow T-shirts, before the game starts, a team has distributed these props to all fans for free in every seat.

They came to support Durant, with Curry, the MVP he trained himself, and Thompson and Green, two MVPs and four All-Stars. Such a lineup is definitely not for the runner-up.

The Warriors made the opening ceremony very big, and they seemed to want to start from this basis to attack the Pacers' two consecutive victories.

"Hey! Are they the opposite playoff rookie team? The Pacers are last year's champion. What effect can you do with this method you used once last year?" Barkley smiled helplessly as he looked at some of the off-court factors that the Warriors were using at home to interfere with the Pacers.

"To be honest, they might as well put Kobe's video on the big screen to see if it can work."

As soon as O'Neal finished speaking, the video O'Neal said appeared on the big screen. The Warriors management has used everything to win this victory. At this time, it is very likely that the Warriors will be fined for such a video.

Lin Sen touched his nose, you gave me the illusion that I was the only one in the Pacers. Isn’t there anyone else? Why are you targeting me alone?

Little do we know that in the discussion on reddit, whether the Warriors and Pacers win this finals this time depends on whether the Warriors can limit Lin Sen.

At the beginning of the game, Lin Sen's jump ball was still unsolvable. He jumped to the basketball in almost crushing ways. Then Oladipo quickly launched the promotion after getting the basketball.

Curry retreated and reached out to interfere. Although the Cavaliers used the naming tactic to keep playing in 2016, how weak is Curry's defense? That's definitely not. His steals have always been around two per game, ranking in the top five in the league's steals list. In the face of most defenders except heavy defenders, they can stay calm.

However, Oladipo is one of the heavy guards. This breakthrough broke out and Curry rushed directly to the inside. McGee's assisted defense came quickly, but at the same time, Lin Sen was empty. He received the pass and easily took off and completed a dunk when McGee landed.

"Prevent Lin from the ball, Drummond, do your best to make up for defense! Javier, put all your attention on Lin." Cole immediately roared off the court as soon as he saw this ball. Before the game started, they also watched the video. I have to say that Kobe is more reliable at some point than the defensive coach. McGee's single defense consumes Lin Sen's physical strength, and then Green will assist the entire team in defense.

After this dunk, Lin Sen suddenly started to play a little harder.

After the Warriors responded to a three-pointer, the Pacers' advancement was still not slow, and they could also face the Warriors to play fast break. Oladipo and Lin Sen still wanted to make a connection, but this time there was no such a good opportunity.

He was entangled by Thompson. At this time, what the Pacers needed was to give the ball to Linson. However, this time, Linson was directly stopped by two people from receiving the ball. McGee was behind, Durant assisted in defense in the front, and Grant was slightly empty.

At this time, Lin Sen either ran to the outside to catch the ball, or was forced to the bottom line by them.

The bottom line position is exactly the only "attack dead corner" that Kobe proposed in the video. Even for this offense dead corner, Lin Sen averaged 6 points per game on both sides, and his score was not low, but compared to him, the score was not high.

Lin Sen was not very good at receiving the ball. He received the basketball at a 30-degree angle on the left and wanted to cut from the front, but near the free throw line, the Warriors' joint defense was blocked there.

Turning around and trying to pass McGee to break through from the bottom line, but McGee seemed to have thought that Lin Sen would want to break through from the bottom line like this. His footsteps were ready at the beginning, which was also the reason why he was not broken through by Lin Sen. Lin Sen's offense was suddenly frustrated, and he passed the ball back to the outside line here.

"Lin passed the ball? This is the first time in this series that he was in such a position. When his teammates did not have an open position, he passed the ball. It can be seen that the Warriors did a very good job in this area." O'Neal felt that Linson's turn was already very hidden, and he was not using his usual hand direction, but he was defended by McGee.

Lin Sen had not had enough time after passing the ball. Gallinari took the ball in a hurry and did not succeed. Instead, the Warriors also fought back. The game had just begun and there was another three-day rest time in the middle, so the two sides immediately took the rebound and counterattacked as soon as the three-pointer bounced far away at the beginning.

After succeeding in the counterattack, the Warriors were in a very brave state, and they played well in several consecutive waves. From the beginning, they played 11:5.

The Pacers' problem is not their defense, but their offense. Once Lin Sen's position in the bottom corner does not complete a breakthrough, he will appear quite hesitant. The offense is not determined. This is what the Warriors want to see the most.

Lin Sen was a little anxious when he was hit by consecutive setbacks and wanted to forcefully help the team score at the bottom line. After Curry hit a very long three-pointer in that round, the score had reached 14:5, and almost reached double digits. This is also the reason why Lin Sen was super.

This time, the referee's whistle sounded, but the action did not satisfy Lin Sen, because the referee's action signaled Lin Sen to make an offensive foul, forcing the baseline to hit McGee, and the Warriors cheered at home. For Lin Sen, who still plays a very important role on the defensive end, every foul is worth cherishing. Once such a foul will have an impact on Lin Sen's defense in the future.
