The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 177 Brad Miller's Revenge
Artest was not good at chasing, just like when he played against the Celtics in the Lakers later, he was more suitable for dealing with Pierce, not Ray Allen.

With such a dazed effort, Chen Mo still ran out of neutral, drawing his bow and arrows from outside the three-point line.

"Shh!"

5:2
I don't know if Chen Mo stimulated Reggie Miller, and Reggie Miller, who was originally slow, suddenly accelerated.

A reverse run got rid of Eddie Jones who was following the defense. From beyond the three-point line, it was almost the same action as Chen Mo.

"Shh!"

5:5
"This is Reggie Miller. Although it is getting harder to see now, he still maintains his killer qualities."

The on-site commentary, I can't help but sigh, Reggie Miller's game is really watching one less game at a time.

Especially for home fans, Reggie Miller may not be a superstar, but he is the spiritual leader of the Pacers.

One person lives one city.

As Reggie Miller said, what's the point if you don't win a championship in Indiana?
Reggie Miller made a rare opening game, and his teammates were very willing to help, with pick-and-rolls and passes.

However, the Heat did not waste too much energy on Reggie Miller.

No matter how brave he is, there is one fact that cannot be changed, that is, he is almost 40 years old.

Running off the ball is a particularly exhausting style of play. Reggie Miller can't last too long in this way.

What's more, Reggie Miller is not the only one who can run without the ball, Chen Mo can also do it.

The constant movement and constant chasing and defense almost caused Artest to collapse.

"Chen, discuss it, don't run away, okay?"

"Then why don't you defend me?"

"This is not good, I am the best defender, you should be glad to be marked by me."

……

There is nothing else to say, just keep running.

Not only Chen Mo, Brad Miller's performance today is also quite impressive, shooting from inside and outside, playing with ease.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the team really had no money, Carlisle would have regretted it a bit.

There is no way, Jermaine O'Neal is 1300 million, and there is a rotten contract in Austin's hand.

This year, the Pacers' salary space is as high as 5800 million, which has far exceeded the luxury tax line.

If Brad Miller is kept, even if part of the salary is processed, it will have to exceed 6000 million.

Although the Pacers owner is not the poorest owner in the NBA, he is not the richest either.

Tens of millions of luxury tax, even if he pays it, it will be very distressing.

……

Reggie Miller was replaced after half a quarter, and Jermaine O'Neal also officially took over the team's main offensive banner.

Don't look at O'Neal's various faults, but during this period, his offensive ability is really strong.

Facing Granger's defense, Jermaine O'Neal made good use of his height advantage.

At the end of the first quarter, he scored 8 points and 4 rebounds. Of course, Brad Miller did not perform badly, with 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

In addition, Reggie Miller scored 6 points and hit two three-pointers, while Chen Mo scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Don't look at Artest can't guard against Chen Mo, in fact, Chen Mo can't guard against Artest's strength.

Especially this guy is a little nervous, and he even threw a three-pointer and scored 7 points.

23:21
The Miami Heat led by 2 points and entered the second quarter, but the situation changed suddenly in the second quarter.

Caron Butler has not recovered from his injury, and the Heat have a huge shortcoming in the substitute lineup.

Lagabel has enough defense, but has little offensive ability, and the three-pointer has not yet been developed.

Although Rasul Butler is already in the second grade, he still behaves like a rookie.

Eddie Jones led alone, the team fell into the situation of last year, and it was difficult to score.

What's more serious is that the Pacers clearly have a big killer on the bench.

Al Harrington played and played a very bright performance in the substitute lineup.

Breakthrough shots, three-pointers... At this moment, Harrington is acting like a superstar.

Although he has never been involved in the best sixth man, he has to admit that Harrington does have the strength to surpass six.

Harrington scored 8 points from inside and outside, but today's Eddie Jones is a bit shattered.

During this period, he made 4 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points, allowing the Pacers to overtake the score, and the point difference continued to widen.

"Chen, you are ready to play, score first and stabilize the situation."

Stan Van Gundy had no choice but to let Chen Mo play in advance. Eddie Jones couldn't open it, and the others couldn't score at all.

Chen Mo replaced Eddie Jones, and the current lineup on the court is Mo Williams, Rasul Butler, Haslem and Tony Barty.

The only good news is that the inside twin towers formed by Haslem and Tony Batty can also defend and protect rebounds.

Facing Anthony Johnson's defense, Chen Mo didn't have to be as careful as Artest.

He called for a pick-and-roll and directly chose to break through. Facing Austin, Chen Mo went straight to the inside.

It is to bully Austin's weakness of slow movement and slow reaction, while Chen Mo is directly strong.

Unable to keep up with Chen Mo at all, Austin had no choice but to reach out and push Chen Mo, and the referee also called a foul.

However, Austin looked indifferent.

In the NBA, there are people like Reggie Miller who keep chasing their dreams, and naturally there are workers like Austin.

As the last lottery pick in 1997, Austin is actually a talented power forward with both inside and outside.

It's a pity that after the rookie contract ended and he got a seven-year contract of more than 4000 million yuan from the Pacers, he began to retire.

That is because of Austin's rotten big contract, which greatly limits the Pacers' reinforcements.

This year, Austin's salary is as high as 760 meters gold, and Brad Miller is no more than this price.

Without Austin, the Pacers can keep Brad Miller.

Chen Mo made two free throws and temporarily stabilized the score.

29:36
On the defensive end, Harrington continued to single Rasul by virtue of his height advantage, and Chen Mo also assisted in the defense immediately.

Kenny Anderson made a hasty shot and missed. Tony Batty relied on his physical advantage to protect the rebound.

Chen Mo continued to attack with the ball, and used the pick-and-roll to break through again. This time, Austin blocked him ahead of time.

However, Chen Mo was not in a hurry, but threw the ball easily and freely.

With a very casual throw, the basketball didn't fly to the basket, but a figure leaped high.

"Alley-oop!"

Haslem caught the ball with both hands and slammed it hard into the basket, and the score was close again.

The Pacers immediately called a timeout. There was no way. Coach Carlisle couldn't just watch. He wasn't Phil Jackson.

"Ron, you go on the court, remember, you not only have to defend Chen, but also organize the team's offense."

Artest was overjoyed: "So, I'm the boss of the team."

O'Neal stared at him. If eyes could kill, Artest would have been beaten.

Carlisle looked helpless, he felt that he was coaching a group of elementary school students.

"If you can do it well, in a short time, yes."
