Chapter 318 Jordan Didn't Guard Me Like You Before

In the Pacers' offensive round, the old Miller held the ball, and Harrington found an opportunity to do a wall pick-and-roll. Billups was ready to push Miller without thinking at this time, but Harrington hugged him tightly. Although Miller had only a momentary opportunity, he also seized it and made a successful shot!

Although Miller is old, he is the core of the Pacers' backcourt, and he still maintains enough threats to the Pistons, even the biggest threat point besides Jermaine O'Neill and Artest. This is not only because of his excellent shooting skills, but also because of his rich experience in battle and a fearless heart.

With the current level of fighting between the Pistons and the Pacers, any accident at Miller's age would lead to serious injuries or even reimbursement at any time. In this case, he can still sit on the line to fight Lin Sa, and play Billups from the outside. It can only be said that your uncle is still your uncle.

In the 8 minutes of the third quarter, the intensity of the game further intensified. Wu Sheng was already on the verge of collapse, and so was Old Miller. Just now he forced a foul at the basket and was pushed out by the big himself.

The score is still anxious 67 to 65, the Pacers are slightly behind, but with the ball, Miller's eyes are shining with a frightening brilliance, he is really ready to risk everything to play this game.

After racing for nearly 3 quarters, Lin Sa also felt a little tired. However, Boss Qiao's peak card physical fitness is really good. At least Lin Sa thinks that if he continues to play like this on both offensive and defensive ends, he will definitely be able to play the rest of the quarter!
Miller held the ball and was greeted by Lin Sa's close defense.

"Son, Jordan couldn't defend me like this before." Miller didn't dodge his line of sight, feeling as if he was going 1v1 with Lin Sa, but Lin Sa is not stupid. He can estimate the possible positions of his own players at Miller's level. If he doesn't look, it doesn't mean he won't pass.

Miller started to hold the ball and was about to break through. Lin Sa took a step back and reacted quite correctly. Miller was indeed looking for a chance to give Artest the ball.

Artest is now in his prime and in good physical condition. There was no brain twitch in this game, and he also rested the longest half quarter among the main players of the team. If the ball is given to Artest to beat Max, then the Pacers are very hopeful.

Lin Sa retreated, and Miller had no room to pass the ball into the paint. He didn't want to bet on whether Lin Sa would steal him. In this game, Lin Sa already had 2 steals, 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, but Lin Sa only had 2 turnovers. This statistic makes people panic.

If you can’t pass it, don’t pass it. When Lin Sa retreated to defend, Miller also stepped back, stretched his body, and threw the basketball in his hand silkily!
Lin Sa jumped high, so Miller also threw the ball very high, and the shot point was extremely abnormal. Any normal star should give up defending Miller's ball.

but!

Lin Sa didn't have it today. Lin Sa didn't just come here to face the Pacers, he also came here to surpass the miracle. Boss Joe's peak season card, if he doesn't play this ball, Lin Sa will feel sorry for himself!
Two strides forward, Lin Sa was still on the defensive when Miller made a shot, but when Miller's shot reached the highest point, Lin Sa had already stepped in front of the old Miller in two steps!
It's too late, boy!
Miller's shot was extremely high. When Lin Sa rushed over, the ball flew straight up. Miller took a step forward, and Lin Sa paused. Then, Boss Joe's explosive power and the wolf king's calf burst out instantly!
High, Lin Sa's jump is really high, it is impossible to be blocked by the shot, and Lin Sa slaps him far away!

Miller was stunned, and all the players in the audience fell into a stagnation. The basketball flew far out of the court. Immediately afterwards, the audience burst into unprecedented warm applause. Lin Sa's jump was almost a miracle in the history of sports!

Coach Carlisle wants to arrest Lin Sa for a urine test, so go now. This kid is too buggy tonight. Although he was originally an unconventional player, it is too abnormal to be so abnormal today. This has surpassed the red line of a top star.

The ball went out of bounds, and Carlisle called a timeout. Basketball is not just about scoring more points. Although scoring more points is indeed great, but Lin Sa's defense is the kind of play that will kill the enemy's momentum. The lethality of this ball against the Pacers is not limited to 10 points!
On the sidelines, the Pacers were hurrying to hold a small meeting. Now they were on the edge of a cliff. Xiao Ao and Miller could still hold on, but Wu Sheng, he was close to collapse. At the end of this quarter, he had to leave the court. What's worse, in the last quarter, his usage time was only about 2 minutes.

Without Martial Saints, the Pacers' tactical options will be reduced in the face of Linsa Max's pick-and-roll and the double Wallace at the basket, which means that their fault tolerance will be further reduced. Once this happens, the morale of the Pistons will definitely be boosted.

No matter from which point of view, Carlisle must call for this timeout. He can't continue to let Lin Sa go, otherwise the Pacers will be finished before the grandsons of the Pistons are exhausted.

Forced to do nothing, Carlisle replaced Harrington, their offensive playmaker.

This decision also announced that Carlisle completely gave up the rhythmic organizational defense and was ready to fight for points. The replacement for Harrington was their backup power forward Jonathan Bender, and his position was... center.

The basket guarded by Daben, Jonathan's level is much worse, he has no possibility of holding on, and Carlisle does not have this dream, but he is strong enough, and his short-distance attack speed does not stretch his hips. In the battle for points, Carlisle wants to completely liberate O'Neal. This is their only opportunity and advantage!

O'Neal will no longer need to guard the basket. He will quickly cooperate with the Pacers' mid-range cuts. In the power forward position, O'Neal is actually more destructive than under the center's basket.

Moreover, after the position change, Rasheed Wallace’s workload suddenly increased. In the mobile game, he had to keep an eye on Jermaine Jerome almost at any time. In this case, he could only stick to the defense to limit Jerome’s singles scoring.

The no-fly zone of the Pistons collapsed, and the impact of the Pacers' forward line was strengthened again. Although the situation would not be reversed, it did enter a state of anxiety again, because the two teams that started with defense suddenly entered a situation where no one could stop the opponent's attack.
