Chapter 71 070: An Unknown Trouble

"For both teams, they definitely hope to do everything possible to avoid a two-game losing streak. The Pacers are in the limelight now, and the Miami Heat are also trying to seize every opportunity to get on the right track. Today, Dwyane Wade's comeback is to improve the Heat's record. Therefore, although this is just an ordinary regular season, the two sides will definitely play extremely well."

When the starters from both sides stepped onto the field, Kevin Harlan's voice immediately appeared in front of the fans' TVs.Harlan took a closer look, but found that there seemed to be a "heterogeneous" in the Pacers team.

"Danny Green, we didn't get any news that Danny Green would start! Did you see Kenny, Coach Henson changed his starting lineup again. In the third position, this is the third time that Coach Henson has changed the starting lineup. Although Mike Dunleavy has never made a miracle of three-pointers in a single quarter, he has always played steadily. I don't know if Dunleavy is injured. After all, Dunleavy was not absent during the warm-up. I really can't see why Coach Henson would have any reason to change the starting line-up."

Kevin Harlan just found it strange, but he didn't question it.Henson's thinking in employing people is indeed very strange, but he has proved his employment strategy more than once to be correct.

After the game started, the Pacers had a rare chance to get the ball first.Although the Heat's Lithuanian legendary center "Big Z" Ilgauskas is 2 meters tall, taller than Hibbert, but he has experienced injuries and years of devastation, and now he can't jump up very much.Horford made up for a huge disadvantage in height with his leaping ability, allowing the Pacers to get the ball first.

The Heat retreated very quickly, and it seemed that Spoelstra, the Filipino, did not despise the Pacers like Pat Riley.At least on the defensive end, he still made some preparations.

People say that Spoelstra is just Pat Riley's puppet, and Riley, the general manager, is really directing the Heat's tactics.However, it now appears that this argument has been self-defeating.

Spoelstra wanted to force the Pacers to slow down and force Henson's team into a positional battle.But don't forget that even the Spurs, who have a strong ability to control the rhythm, couldn't do this at the beginning.

After Horford stood outside the three-point line, the 2-meter Ilgauskas lost control of the penalty area in an instant.Without such a high point of containment, the Heat's interior looks extremely empty.

After passing the screen, Holiday passed the ball to Daniel Granger, and Granger started to catch the ball. Bosh, who was chasing Granger, began to slow down. It seemed that he had given up on defense.

However, just when Granger was about to dunk the ball into the basket, LeBron James rushed from a diagonal thrust, and before Granger dunked the ball, he staged a tough big risk!

"Block dunks, LeBron James! The Heat are different from other teams. Just pulling their center out doesn't mean they can do whatever they want in the Heat's three-second zone! Because in Miami, there is an omnipotent James!"

James' bravado caused a burst of exclamation from the American Airlines Center, and Henson shook his head helplessly.Granger made the right choice for that shot just now, it was indeed an opportunity.It's just that a player of LeBron's level has this ability to turn decay into magic.

The basketball hits the backboard hard and bounces back hard.Wade, who came back from the line of fire, received the basketball and immediately pushed forward.

To Spoelstra's surprise, Matthews and the little-known Danny Green had retreated to their own half at this time.He didn't know when those two guys retreated. The Pacers' defense didn't have the usual neglect of ordinary young teams.

James sprints to the frontcourt immediately after blocking the block, and immediately makes a fast break after blocking the block. This kind of thing is not difficult for LeBron.As Henson said, when you have a player like James, the coach has a lot less to worry about.That kid Spoelstra, what a lucky guy.

Wade just crossed the halfway line and passed the ball to James, who was plugged in from the middle, and James continued to hit the basket with the ball.The Heat's transition attack is very fast, so at this time the Pacers only have Danny Green in the three-second zone, and LeBron, who has already rushed to the speed, is obviously not something that Danny Green can stop.

Seeing LeBron's "heavy tank" rushing towards him, Green took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on the basketball in James' hands.

In the blink of an eye, James has stepped into the three-second zone and is about to make a three-step dunk.Fans at the American Airlines Center were on their feet with their arms raised, ready to cheer for James' dunk.

"One step, two steps, now!" At the moment James jumped up, Green suddenly cut to the basketball in James' hands!Before James could lift the ball up, he lost control of the basketball!
"The basketball is off, it's unbelievable! Danny Green defended very well. He single-handedly destroyed the fast break that the Heat were determined to win! God, this guy stopped the attack of the Miami Kings!" Kevin Harlan jumped up from the commentary booth. Naturally, this steal was not as hot as James' blocked dunk just now, but Harlan got goosebumps!
Matthews picked up the out-of-control basketball, and the backcourt leader sent it to Holiday.Holiday received the ball and feinted a shot from outside the three-point line, pointing Wade up, and then broke through, making a mid-range shot, a perfect counterattack!

"Extremely exciting! The Pacers' transition attack was too fast, almost like lightning!" Kevin Harlan couldn't help but want to applaud the wonderful scene just now. From cutting the ball to counterattacking the goal, the Pacers took less than five seconds!James is still complaining to the referee about Green's thugs, but Holiday has already scored.

One transition attack after another transition offense, the game ignited everyone's blood from the beginning.

"Damn it!" James shook his arm unwillingly. He didn't even know the name of the guy who was lying in front of him just now, so he was intercepted by the other party.

"Danny Green made great achievements as soon as he came up. Did you see Kenny, Coach Henson's every adjustment to the lineup is very targeted!"

Henson applauded Green with satisfaction. This guy may not be able to become a superstar, but he will prove to the entire league that not only superstars can survive in the NBA world!

In a blink of an eye, the Heat have already attacked aggressively.The eyes of LeBron James looked extremely fierce. If it were any other rookie, he would probably feel scared unconsciously.

Henson opened his left hand off the court, clenched his right hand, and hit his left hand hard.This is his secret signal to Matthews and Green, signaling them to directly attack James!

James received a pass from Wade on the right side of the three-point line. After receiving the ball, LeBron did not make any fake moves, and directly started to run into the penalty area.This seemingly unreasonable style of play is a typical LeBron-style offense.

If there is only one Danny Green, then James must have successfully entered.But he had only started two steps, but Wesley Matthews made up for it.The two strongest wing defenders in the G League last season blocked James' path at the same time. Matthews and Green were both extremely tough. When James was about to be stopped, he passed the ball to Wade who was emptied.

Henson tensed up. If there was one factor in this game that was hard to pin down, it was Wade's form.He doesn't know how good Wade can play, who has not yet recovered. If Wade's performance is not affected at all, then the Pacers' strategy of pinching James will undoubtedly be difficult to implement.

Wade held the ball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, but he knew that his long-range shooting ability was not that good, so he took two steps in before he stopped and shot.

But the moment Wade shot, Henson found that "The Flash" was very awkward.His injured left wrist couldn't even assist aiming.

Sure enough, the next second, the basketball hit the left side of the basket, and it was so crooked that Wade missed it!

"It seems that Dwyane's injury is more serious than people imagined." Henson's hanging mind was confirmed. Wade came back after only one rest, which was a bit too hasty.

Horford took off the defensive rebound in front of the "Big Z" who couldn't jump up. No matter how fast the Heat retreated, it couldn't be faster than the Pacers' offense.After all, the Heat's current lineup is not known for running.

Holiday was riding a thousand horses. He crossed the midfield and quickly rushed to the basket.The Pacers' offense is like this, and it will not give the opponent any chance to breathe.

James followed, and he didn't mind another block.

Obviously, Holiday's scoring ability has attracted a lot of attention.It is unrealistic for a point guard who has no offensive threat to rely solely on passing to drive offense. After all, basketball is not football, and point guards are not quarterbacks who only need to pass the ball.Therefore, Henson never restricted Holiday's desire to attack, in order to allow him to generate offensive threats.

As long as Holiday can attract defense, other people's opportunities will naturally come out.

Holiday made a layup, but passed the ball behind him before taking off!Danny Green caught up with the ball, and it was a three-pointer when he pulled it up!
1000 shots a day, 500 more in the morning and 500 in the afternoon, Green never stopped.The basketball went into the net hollow, causing everyone to look at the unnamed guy in astonishment.Can cut James' fast break and chase the body to make a three-pointer. Everyone is wondering where Henson got so many of these players.

Henson was not surprised by Green's performance. Everything that Green has done now is the result of his sweat a thousand times off the court.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles.Henson has studied the recent situation of the Heat very clearly, including Wade's injury and James' style of play.The Heat's information about the Pacers may already need to be updated.

There is no doubt that they have no idea what Danny Green can do.
