Chapter 125 The second round of the playoffs starts!
Lin Long couldn't help but observe the situation on the Pacers' side.
Miller and Mullin, two of the league's top shooters, were trying for 3 points. Although it was not the first time to see these two, Lin Long was still amazed by their accuracy.
The 3-point shooting rate of these two people has basically been hovering around 95%.
Miller even often does 30 hits, 40 hits.
Even Lin Long has a platinum-level archery bonus, but his training hit rate is around 92, 93%. I am afraid that only by upgrading to the top diamond can he compare the hit rate with these two monsters!
However, although pure archery is not as good as these two monsters, Lin Long has almost crushing advantages over these two in other aspects! Therefore, Lin Long did not panic at all, on the contrary, something came to his mind. A line that was often said in a previous life.
"Is the show over? Uncle is going to fight back! 35
Lin Long secretly made a decision, this round of series, must say this sentence!
With the end of the warm-up time, the players from both sides slowly left the court, preparing for the appearance ceremony.
Various broadcast agencies also ended the chat and prepared for the final preview.
In the studio of CBS, Will Marcus and Smith are still the gold medal partner.
Will Marcus, who has long been the number one fan of CBS, even wore a pair of LIN-STAR Dawn sneakers today to cheer on the Celtics.
Will Marcus advertised the shoes for free long before the game.
Seeing that the two sides have started the final entry ceremony, he also said slowly: "After the first round of the game, we have all seen that the Celtics are absolutely extraordinary, and they ended the game in a way that was almost humiliating. The Clevelands' dream even ended their current wave of team building plans!"
"I think the current Celtics are exactly in line with their ranking in the East. They are the most championship-looking East team outside the Bulls! I know what you are going to say. Experience, running-in, critical moments, tough battles. These are what Lin Long lacks, but don't forget, they have Auerbach, the most experienced head coach in the entire NBA, Bird Bird, who was once the league's best key player, and MVP-level Charles Barkley! 35
"These guys have a near-perfect chemistry together, they can make up for their shortcomings and shortcomings, and most importantly, even inexperienced, the Celtics have the best talent in the league! This is the Pacers No. I'm bullish on the Celtics, resolve the fight in 6 games and make it to the Eastern Conference Finals!"
Smith rarely agrees with his opinion, agreeing: "Although the Pacers have the best shooter group in the league and a neat and balanced lineup, I still don't trust the team led by the shooter! I prefer to believe in Kyle who is strong inside. Specials! I think they can make it to the Eastern Conference finals and lose to Chicago!
In the past few years, Huaxia TV had the experience of broadcasting the NBA finals, and it could broadcast the playoffs, which was the first time in history!
Therefore, China Sports Channel has paid great attention to and attached great importance to this broadcast. If the entire playoffs are broadcast and can get good ratings and reputation, then the Sports Channel will seriously consider signing a formal and long-term broadcast with the NBA. contract to formally introduce the NBA as a sports league.
In the first live broadcast of China Sports Channel, the selected commentator partner is Sun Zhengping, a senior ace commentator.
As well as the rookie reporter, Su Jun, who has a very good relationship with Lin Long!
This combination of old and young can not only take into account the tastes of old and young audiences at the same time, but also explain and observe the game from different angles.
Of course, the most important reason is that Su Wan still likes and has feelings for Su Jun, who is two generations younger. She specially added the conditions for Su Jun to explain during the negotiation, and did her best to come Help the eldest grandson of this generation.
Sun Zhengping watched the players from both sides enter the field, and immediately said: "Hello, audience friends, this is China Sports Station, and today's game for you is the Boston Celtics at home against the Indiana Walkers. In the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs of the Eastern Conference team, Su Jun and I will jointly explain for everyone.
"The athlete from our country, Lin Long, who we are very fond of and concerned about, will appear as a starter. What kind of performance will he have tonight? Let's wait and see.
Su Jun replied: "In the first round, the Celtics easily defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 3-0, and the seventh game also set a single-game point difference record in the history of the NBA playoffs. The reason for this score was a senseless flagrant foul by Cavaliers Kemp on Lin Long!
"It can also be seen from this that this Celtic team has a strong fighting force and cohesion. They are a group of people who will fight with all their might for their brothers and teammates!"
"And the Indiana Pacers are also not to be underestimated, they have the league's top shooters Chris Mullin and Reggie Miller, as well as this year's All-Star member Rick Schmitz, last year's league assist leader Mark Jackson, Power forward Dale Davis is also a well-known villain in the league.
"In addition, they have Jaylen Rose and Antonio Davis on the bench. They are not weaker than the Celtics! So I think this series is likely to be the whole season. In the second round of the playoffs, the best and most anxious round!
With the explanation of the two, the fans of the North Shore Garden gradually entered the state.
With the guidance of the dj and the entry of the home team players, their cheers rose from wave to wave.
And when the Pacers fans entered, they immediately sent overwhelming boos and curses.
Lin Long noticed again that in the scolding and scolding, Miller's expression was actually enjoying!
Miller closed his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if listening to some elegant and refined symphony.
"What a monster!
After Lin Long couldn't help but complain, he stood in the middle circle and was ready to fight for the ball with Schmitz.
The coaches of both sides did not change the formation, and still used the handed lineup that they have used in the regular season and the first round.
Celtics starting lineup:
Center Owen Willis.
Power forward Charles Barkley.
Small forward Lin Long.
Shooting guard: Dana Barrows.
Point guard: Chauncey Billups.
Pacers starters:
A Style: Rick Smits.
Power forward: Dale Davis.
Small forward: Chris Mullin.
Shooting guard: Reggie Miller.
Point guard: Mark Jackson.
As is customary, Lin Long took over the scrimmage in place of the aging Willis. He was up against Rick Smits.
The Dutchman Schmitz, who is 224cm tall, is half a head taller than Lin Long, but when he was fighting for the ball, Schmitz's hand was about to touch Lin Long's wrist, and he was easily grabbed by Lin Long. To the first wave of the ball.
・・・・Seeking flowers・
"Monster." Schmitz scolded, and quickly turned back to the basket to prevent the Celtics from starting fast breaks. Their research on the Celtics was equally thorough!
Billups watched the Pacers' quick back defense. The team's best quick sneak attack tactic had no chance. He didn't stick the ball, and directly gave the ball to Lin Long, who came out of the top of the arc.
When there is no chance, simply and rudely, let Lin Long single against Mullin!
This was the first battle plan Auerbach made before the game.
After all, although the Pacers have two top shooters, one of them is old and slow, and the other is thin and weak. Lin Long faced them, it was really no different from hitting their grandma.
Watching Mullin come up against his huge rosacea, Lin Long didn't need to make any extra moves.
He directly stepped forward with his right foot, and with a single step, he flashed past Mullin's side.
At this time, before Mullin could even stand firm, Lin Long passed him clean.

Inside the Pacers, Schmitz is a standard European center.
In the 1990s, there were two types of European centres.
One is the big white bear type produced in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe. They are tall and strong, and they look like pirates or bullies. They are powerful and loud, and they are perfect insider meat shields.
One is the standard technical flow, assisting, shooting, and footsteps are all fine, and even if you are happy, you can also give you a dribbling breakthrough with a butterfly wearing a flower.
Unfortunately, Schmitz is undoubtedly the latter.
In the face of Lin Long's tank-like dash, Schmitz didn't even have the idea of resisting, just dodged aside to avoid being beaten as 2+1, and by the way, used the best position to watch Lin Long's gliding dunk.
That's what current Pacers coach and former Celtics player Rick Carlisle gave Schmitz.
Protect yourself from fouls, don't give Lin Long a 2+1 chance, and don't even bother to foul Lin Long to prevent him from scoring.
Just let him lay up well.
This is still Carlisle's first year as head coach. Before this season, Carlisle was still working as an assistant coach for the Trail Blazers, but the Pacers were released by Larry Bird. They hope that Bird can recommend another person, so the former teammates Carlisle took over from Bird, five years earlier than Lin Long's world, and came to teach with the Pacers.
Carlisle is well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of his team. He understands that with the team's current lineup, it is almost impossible to contain Lin Long and allow the game to enter the rhythm of the Celtics.
In this case, Keller simply ignores Lin Long, watches others to death on the defensive end, and lets Lin Long score by himself.
As for the offensive end, he used the advantages of his off-ball system, two top scorers and a pass master, to completely bring up the space and rhythm.
Attack the Celtics.
This was the only way Carlisle could think of a fight with the Celtics.
Under Carlisle's tactics, Lin Long's goal did not make the Pacers any hesitation. Schmitz quickly came to the bottom line to serve. Jackson pouted and gave Billups after getting the basketball, which hurt him. Oooo screamed, and then was given a clean voice by Jackson in one step.
