Healing Basketball

Chapter 466 466. I Have a Warden!
Back from the timeout, neither team made personnel adjustments.

Maurice Cheeks and Carlisle are sorry, but they admire each other.

At this time, whichever side seeks to replace the conflicting players will lose at least half of their combat power.

The Pacers will lose the team's first player in interior scoring and the team's third defense; the Trail Blazers will lose the team's defensive pillar.

Just now Kwame Brown slapped the ball on Jermaine O'Neal and popped out of bounds, and the Trail Blazers played the ball in the backcourt.

Little Flying Squirrel received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and cooperated with Liu Xiu to play the game of sudden points + auxiliary control.

The little flying mouse rushed deep, Liu Xiu used the screen to attract a flanking attack, and the extrajudicial madman took a step outside the free throw line to respond with a mid-range shot...missed!
But Liu Xiu grabbed the offensive rebound!
Pushing away his opponents and rushing to the three-second zone, he was actively rushing, and his efforts were not in vain!

Jermaine O'Neal and Tianzun's attention was on Kwame Brown, and Liu Xiu made a second offensive throw!

The Pacers judged that as long as they can withstand the impact of the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt, survive the stage where role players really can't make outside shots, and adjust back from the halftime break, the Trail Blazers will not dare to shoot in the second half. Play defense with them like this.

Because there is not enough time!

It took the Trail Blazers a quarter and a half in the first half to create the opportunity that appeared.

If the Trail Blazers don't seize the opportunity now and come back in the second half, the Pacers will be very happy. This is their dominant style of play. They have a greater chance of winning. Maybe this advantage will not be able to make a big difference. The lead, but they don't need to win too much, winning two or three points is also a win.

It's just that someone from the Pacers needs to stand up at this time, but Jermaine O'Neal, the most stable offensive player in their team, has once again softened in the face of the young, wild and exposed Kwame Brown!
Although Jermaine O'Neal can be called the No. [-] power forward in the Eastern Conference and the top four forwards in the league, he has been criticized for one thing-the style of play and his personality are very soft.

After leaving the Trail Blazers, he played against Tianzun 7 times. Facing the "King of Technical Fouls", he won 2 wins and 5 losses. He is obviously not weaker than the opponent in terms of strength, but he can be defended by the opponent with only a 40% shooting rate.

In the five years since he became the main force, he has won 3 wins and 7 losses against Duncan; against Garnett, the team has such a big advantage, only 3 wins and 6 losses, and only averaged 9 points and 6 rebounds per game; Then the tough Webb played a dominant performance of 4 wins and 2 losses.

Like now, everyone thinks that Jermaine O'Neal, who has just been capped by the parallel champion and irritated by ridicule, will recover the scene after returning from a timeout, but Jermaine O'Neal chose to open up space.

Jermaine O'Neal, who was so angry that he had a conflict, was persuaded. Tonight, Artest, who seemed to admit that he was persuaded by "justifiable defense" and didn't dare to fart, immediately came to the low position on the left side of the three-second zone and took the initiative Leaning on Liu Xiu for the ball!

The commentator praised Artest's choice. He is immobile and has no ability to move without the ball. He can't rush when facing Liu Xiu. At this time, it is a very good choice to use his height and weight to play in the low post.

However, after receiving the ball and hitting the top, Artest regretted it.

He bumped into it, how could the other party not move at all?
It's a bit square!

He is confident in top strength, and with an inside weight of 110 kg, he can't stand it!He could hit Bosh with his back before...

But at this time, I must make one, and I will give it a shot!
Artest chose to turn right and attack from the bottom line!
Artest's choice confirmed the player detection report that Liu Xiu had seen - a top-level offense for the first time!Consciousness is really much better.

Artest walked the bottom line, Liu Xiu couldn't block the bottom line, he had to leave room for advancement, otherwise he would block the foul.

Liu Xiu also has ways to block Artest, such as using fierce confrontation to force the opponent to stop, but he didn't try. Although he is very confident in the current 96's strength beyond the top level, the opponent has top-level strength+ The inside weight, the success rate is not particularly high, and there may be fouls. He chose to stick close to not give Artest a chance to accelerate.

And that's enough!

Artest's cutting speed was limited, and as soon as he threw it out, he was slapped by the retracted McDyess!Liu Xiu grabs a defensive rebound!
The perfect defensive cooperation between Liu Xiu and McDyess!

In the two rounds, the situation is very clear-when it depends on the stars to stand up and fight the tough battle, the Pacers can't beat the Trail Blazers!

However, the Pacers' frontcourt trio's defense is really good. Jermaine O'Neal is also amazing. The offense can be soft and timid, but the defense has always been active and hard-working. After receiving Liu Xiu's second pass, Jermaine O'Neal interfered, Artest protected the defensive rebound, and Carlisle called a timeout!
...

During the timeout, the Trail Blazers were speculating, what adjustments the opponent will make next, and who will they use to attack?God respects the world?

But no, after the timeout came back, the Pacers once again pulled up the iron-blooded defense, and on the offensive end, they began to play a team attack with Tinsley's breakthrough and Tianzun's high-level support.

Can the Pacers' team offense compete with the Blazers' singles?
It's possible with Reggie Miller, but obviously impossible without Reggie Miller.

The same is true of the fact that after returning from this timeout, the Trail Blazers completely took control of the initiative.

At the end of the first half, Artest hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, and the Trail Blazers still led the Pacers by 51 points 45 to 6, showing the Trail Blazers' advantage.

However, the benefits of the Pacers' style of play are obvious. They only scored 20 points in the second quarter, especially after the timeout, they only scored 8 points, and they still relied on Artest to make three-pointers. They only scored 8 points, but even so, they were in such an unfavorable situation, and they were only 9 points behind when they were the most behind!
Because their defense is really good!They can rely on defense to slow down the pace of the Trail Blazers opening up the point difference, stay until the first half is over, and then make plans in the second half.

When there is no solution to the problem, minimize the loss!
Carlisle's strategy, coupled with the Pacers' defense, is like a tortoise shell, and Maurice Cheeks really has no way to start!
His team members managed to create an opportunity, and the warden and little flying mouse seized the opportunity and took advantage, but the opponent was so tenacious.

Maurice Cheeks looked at Carlisle, this guy is not good at playing, but he is really good at being a coach.

But he is not in a hurry, he has a warden!
半场13投6中，其中三分球3中1，外加5中4的罚球，狂飙17分的典狱长！
...

Back from the intermission, the Trail Blazers sent a starting lineup of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

Tonight, Kwame Brown is going to play 40+ minutes, but he is very excited and played very bravely.

Because the warden pushed the glasses frame and said to him when he was reading: "The pillar of Rose Bay, step on a higher level!"The strongest twin towers in the alliance will be handed over to you to deal with!
The Pacers sent a combination of Tinsley, Anthony Johnson, Artest, Austin Crohill, and Jermaine O'Neal.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead. Raheem made a mid-range singles Anthony Johnson hit a jumper, opening the point difference to 8 points, but then Anthony Johnson hit an open three-pointer from the wing!The Pacers narrowed the point difference to 5 points, chasing the score to 48 to 53!

During the halftime break, the situation that the Trail Blazers were worried about appeared-the touch of the Pacers' role players adjusted well during the halftime break!

Look at the way Anthony Johnson shot with confidence, the whole halftime, this guy was shooting hot shots on the training ground...

Immediately afterwards, Payton's long two-point response was a little stronger and came out, turning around Jamal Tinsley's free throw line to catch a pass and hit a jumper, and the point difference was reduced to 3 points!At this time, it was Liu Xiu who stood up again. Liu Xiu used Kwame Brown's three-pointer to help the Trail Blazers stop the bleeding and expand the lead to 6 points again.

It's the Pacers' turn to attack, and they're already on the mend.

When their wing shots can ensure stability, they can use this to launch a team attack!

This is their Reggie Miller-era style of play, a team attack around the containment of a pitcher, and they are most familiar with this style of play.

They knew that the Trail Blazers would immediately start to actively improve their confrontational style of play and narrow the gap in defensive strength between the two sides.

But at present, while Anthony Johnson and Tinsley's shooting touch is still there, their Pacers have an advantage on both offense and defense!
Seize the advantage, overtake the score, and the initiative will return to their hands!
The remaining time must not be enough for the Trail Blazers to do another first-half operation!
In such an unfavorable situation, Carlisle suddenly found the most favorable path.

After the most difficult half of the game, he can finally show his talents.

However, when the Pacers attacked, they found that the Blazers' defense had changed!
The Trail Blazers started a complete one-on-one man-to-man defense!

Tinsley singled out Payton, successfully rushed to close range by relying on the threat of shooting, but no one came to defend him. He hesitated before making a shot, but was stuck by Payton again, and the iron was thrown.

Fortunately, Jermaine O'Neal defended Randolph's singles very well. Randolph missed a small hook, Crohill protected the rebound, and the Pacers relied on defense to bite the score.

However, the situation that Carlisle thought would be beneficial has become complicated again-the opponent uses one-on-one marking to restrict their Pacers from circulating the team's offense and prevent them from relying on the team's offense to start. Soar star singles!

If he read correctly, just now, the warden on the opposite side called his teammates together and said a few words.

Probably this self-adjustment of the arrangement!
Strong scoring ability, high offensive confidence, excellent on-the-spot adaptability, and command effectiveness are stronger than the head coaches of many teams. This makes Carlisle think of McGrady and Kidd. The invincible backcourt of the Nets gave him It felt like it was concentrated on one person!

My phone and notebooks are about to run out of battery. Fortunately, I finished writing Chapter 2, and my mind is calm and cool...
