The Heat are being questioned, while the Knicks are enjoying great success.

Since entering February, they have also won three games in three games. However, when the Pacers defeated the 75ers in the away game, the Knicks suffered a bitter pill in the away game. They lost to the Wizards in the away game.

As one of the top three in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks' hard-fought winning streak ends here

Anthony's performance was as good as ever, and the performances of Stoudemire and JR Smith on the bench were drool-worthy.

But there is Ariza among the Wizards. He came off the bench and scored 20 points on the Knicks.

As a striker who averages less than 10 points per game, Lin Shaojie is no stranger to former Rockets player Ariza.

Encountering such an abnormally explosive player, a team from the bottom in the Eastern Conference was stunned to knock down the top three teams in the Eastern Conference.

No one could do anything but say, "Ariza is so scary."

Back when he was with the Rockets, Ariza was also a player who averaged nearly 15 points per game.

The Pacers, who returned home, used their ample time to decide to give the three incoming opponents a head-on blow.

Facing the Toronto Raptors in the first game, when Lin Shaojie saw Rudy Gay in the Raptors lineup, the veteran who "moved" to Toronto from the Grizzlies repeatedly reminded him that this is a business league and there is nothing wrong with it.

In trading, everything is a bargaining chip.

Rudy Gay played as fiercely as ever, and he and DeRozan, as the Raptors' main starters, caused a lot of damage to the Pacers.

But when Shaojie Lin turned away from Kyle Lowry, DeRozan became silent and Gay also stopped.

The Raptors' offensive was instantly contained.

But during the rotation, Bargnani and Valanciunas were the real inside killers. Hibbert instantly fell into a suffocating state and was taken away by his opponents.

As a last resort, Frank brought West on the court early.

During the halftime break, Lin Shaojie sat in silence and the atmosphere in the locker room was very depressing.

Hibbert really wanted to say to Lin Shaojie, come and scold me!

But as an atypical leader, Lin Shaojie rarely curses. The last time he cursed happily on the phone was rare, but the Pacers rookie's leadership ability is recognized.

Not only is his personal ability super strong, but also his willpower, the ability to finish the game, these so-called essential skills for a leader, Lin Shaojie lacks none of them.

The most important thing is that he can also fight in a way that does not occupy the ball. No one would not like such a player.

Hibbert is no exception.

But when Lin Shaojie ignores you, it's like the player who disappeared silently from the Pacers, Plumlee.

In self-imposed exile after daily training, when Lin Shaojie's reminder received no response, the current rookie disappeared from the Pacers' lineup.

Hibbert is not worried about this, nor is he worried about his position. He just doesn't want to feel excluded and marginalized.

"The two substitute big men scored nearly 20 points on you in the first half, more than their starting center Aaron Gray and power forward Amir Johnson combined. Roy (Hibbert), yes

Are we not supporting you enough? Or what kind of support do you need?"

Lin Shaojie's words finally relieved Hibbert's anxiety, and the atmosphere in the locker room became a little more harmonious.

Hibbert felt that this was very similar to the scene when he saw a street gangster asking a street kid for money when he was a student. It was almost exactly the same and made people feel flustered.

"I"

"Do you need me to help in the paint area? I think I can try to give them a few big shots. After all, David (Hibbert) is old and I can't let him play for forty minutes. What do you think?"

"I'll take care of them!"

Hibbert raised his hand.

"You don't have to tell me this, we're all looking at you, just like you did when you faced the 75ers and the Hawks."

Lin Shaojie patted Hibbert and walked out of the locker room first.

In the second half, Hibbert didn't perform well at the beginning. It looked similar to the first half. The Raptors, who had tasted the sweetness, focused on attacking inside when they couldn't open up the outside.

West became the busiest person.

Hibbert has also begun to work hard. Even if he is headless, he still has to prove that he is working hard.

But the more he behaves like this, it feels like his energy is useless. He will fly up with just a tap of the opponent, and then his opponent will take advantage of the loophole.

Hibbert is like a brainless big man who is being played around in the paint.

When Valanciunas once again received the ball inside, he pushed away Hibbert and was about to block the shot.

Lin Shaojie broke in from the outside like a god, and the height of his jump gave people the feeling that he was riding on Valanciunas.

The latter only felt the palpitations of being shrouded in dark clouds. What greeted him was a big hat hitting his head and face, and the hand holding the ball was numb.

"boom!"

The basket of Conseco Arena shook violently. Lin Shaojie blocked the opponent's dunk with a big block. Valanciunas was knocked out by Lin Shaojie who rushed in from outside the paint area.

After landing, Lin Shaojie looked at Valanciunas who fell to the ground and walked past him without saying a word.

The referee blew the whistle.

Although this was a good shot, Lin Shaojie committed a foul.

The anxious game was improved because of Lin Shaojie's astonishing shot. From then on, Jonas Valanciunas, who had already grabbed the most rebounds in the game, became more cautious in his movements, and his scoring and rebounding data increased very slowly.

On the other hand, Lin Shaojie would rush inside from time to time when he saw Hibbert trying hard but failing.

Lin Shaojie played very aggressively today, and for the first time he actively fought for backcourt rebounds.

Completely pushed Paul George out.

Lin Shaojie picked up the rebound and immediately launched a long pass. Paul George and George Hill were eating the cake to their fullest.

The Raptors didn't react until the fourth quarter and began to readjust their tactics and focus on the outside.

But facing the Pacers, who had found their own rhythm, the Raptors had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill of failure!

"I never think Lynn is a point guard. He is not even a defender, but a forward player who is a little shorter. He grabbed 20 rebounds and 16 assists today. Oh my god, I played

It’s really crazy to see a player like him for the first time in so many years of basketball.”

After the game, DeRozan said in a tone of disbelief at the press conference.

"For a rookie like this, I can't think of a word to describe him, 'great?' Well, Lynn has said time and time again that he's tired of hearing that word, and not every player deserves it, but I still want to."

Speaking of him, as long as he keeps playing like this, I think he will definitely become a 'great' player."

Paul George, who scored the highest score in this game, attended the post-game press conference with David West.

Paul George's 29 points and West's 23 points were the major contributors to the Pacers' victory, but everyone knows that the rookie was the cornerstone of the victory.

The Pacers are really afraid of teams with outstanding inside numbers and impact.

In other words, every team is a little worried about such a team, including the Heat. No one thought that the Raptors had so many inside reserves. If they really showed up, why would they fall into the current embarrassing situation?

From this point of view, the Raptors got Rudy Gay. Looking at this game alone, they really made a huge profit.

It's a pity that the Raptors were a little stretched in the previous games, otherwise they wouldn't still be working hard for a spot in the playoffs.

"Although Lynn is not the player with the most points in this game, he is everywhere and he is our leader."

Paul George said clearly, even though he already knew that the former boss Danny Granger had begun restorative training, everyone within the Pacers knew that the rookie's position was very stable.

The most important thing is that Granger does not deny Lynn's status, which makes Paul George, who is caught in the middle, feel much better.

"Yes, I agree with Paul!"

David West affirmed: "Lynn stood up in the most difficult moment. We all know that he is not the kind of player who talks a lot, but he knows how to solve our problems and how to help his teammates.

Roy failed for three quarters, but found himself in the last quarter. We all understand who helped him.

For a guard to get 20 rebounds, I don't know which star player on other teams is willing to work hard for that.

But I saw it in the Pacers, and he is worthy of his position as a leader."

West is the kind of player who rarely praises Lin Shaojie. He keeps everything unspoken, but today, he had to say it.

Every time Hibbert performs poorly, he is the one who suffers directly in the end, and all the pressure will come towards him.

Others don't understand the pain of being inside, but Lin Shaojie can help alleviate it. There is nothing better than having him as a teammate. West likes this feeling of being cared about.

No matter how much you talk, it will never be as satisfying as taking actual actions.

As for Terrence Ross, the rookie selected by the Raptors this season, he only played less than ten minutes in this game.

They all played when Lin Shaojie was off the field.

But it is a pity that he, who is tall and thin, has no sense of presence in this serious competition. He only scored 3 points by relying on outside shots. Other than that, he has no other data.

And this is the current situation of a rookie player struggling on the bench.

This is how Lin Shaojie described it to Yang Wenyuan and Chen Junren at the Pacers' dinner party in the evening.

Players like this, whose draft picks are not bad, and whose starting salary is not low, just have no chance, even on a weak team like the Raptors.

Chen Junren and the others were in awe after hearing this!

The cruelty of competition in the NBA is evident!

According to media reports, Lin Shaojie's explosive scoring data has not been seen in recent games. I thought that the young rookie would settle down for a few days, but no one expected that this kid would release another satellite today.
