The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 230

From leading by 10 points to 5 points, the Pacers immediately replaced Paul George, who had just sat down, and Hibbert also played.

Seeing that the Pacers are desperate now, the Heat also replaced James.

In the most peak battlefield in the East, facing the Pacers who are both offensive and defensive, Spoelstra is not as calm as before.

The Pacers really want to win, but the Heat can't give them a chance.

The Pacers' defense is very good, better than the Heat's. The Heat's interior defense is flawed, but the Pacers' defense is excellent both inside and outside. The five players on the field basically have no shortcomings on the defensive end.

So facing such a team, once they fall too far behind them, it will be over.

Fortunately, their offensive power is not that strong, and the Heat must now shrink their defense and speed up their rotation.

Paul George's strength must be strangled to death.

When the player returned to the court, Zhang Xiaotian clapped his palms hard and smiled.

For the next time, even if he reduced his attack, he had to try his best to limit the opponent.

Paul George is strong, but he's not unsolvable offensively.

He is more threatening on the defensive end, but it can be said to be a waste if he targets Zhang Xiaotian, because he is facing the Heat, and the Heat have the Big Three.

Paul George can't reach James' level with the ball, so he has to keep running and cover to catch the ball.

After Zhang Xiaotian activated his skills, it became more difficult for him to catch the ball.

The two are on the field, sometimes it's like wrestling.

But there is nothing dangerous, they are all ruthless characters within the rules.

One minute later, Paul George got a chance and used his height to cause Zhang Xiaotian's fourth foul.

But it doesn't matter, Paul George fouled for the fourth time earlier, and James scored twice with Wade after he came on the court. Zhang Xiaotian doesn't need to take care of both ends for the time being.

Under the continuous hand-to-hand combat, Hibbert was the first to be unable to support himself. His height and weight were obviously the ones that consumed the most.

The older David West has no problem, but his height is not enough to pose a greater threat at this time, and James looks very closely at him.

The most dangerous people for the Pacers at the critical moment are Paul George and David West. Spoelstra was more worried about Zhang Xiaotian's side, but now it seems that he is doing very well.

Paul George wanted to single Zhang Xiaotian with the ball, but he was unsuccessful and was double-teamed and made a mistake.

The Heat counterattacked quickly, and Ray Allen followed up and hit two points. The score gap was only 3 points.

Bosh also suffered from physical problems at this time. He was not good at melee inside and wasted a lot.

Ray Allen's physical strength is not bad, but because of his age, his movements have slowed down a bit.

The outside line still hasn't been played, but now the Heat will definitely not place their hopes on the shooters.

The Pacers are a real opponent, but Spoelstra is worried about his defense. At least he will choose the team's most powerful lineup in the most critical time of the first game.

Wade played the [-] position, making up for another weak point of the team.

The weak point of the inside line, relying on desperately reducing the threat and defending regardless of physical strength, can only be used in the last quarter, because it is impossible to last that long.

But it's no problem just in the fourth quarter, so the offense of both sides must be solved by stars.

Only when the strong point has an absolute advantage, can the opponent's defense be shredded.

After Paul George made a three-pointer for the first time, he still hit Zhang Xiaotian for the second time.

After all, with his height and long arms, even if Zhang Xiaotian defended himself to the extreme, he still couldn't seal an all-star powerhouse.

At 5 minutes and 07 seconds, James was surrounded and made a mistake, and David West took the opportunity to hit, allowing the Pacers to lead by 5 points again.

The strength of the Pacers is really good, and Zhang Xiaotian can't be so dazzling this time.

4分11秒，詹姆斯打成3+1，双方比分差距就差1分了。

But at the critical moment, George Hill hit again, and the rest of the Pacers also stood up.

After that, even if the two parties made an agreement, if you come in, I will also come in, and if you want to strike iron, you can strike iron.

At 2 minutes and 27 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian fouled Paul George again.

Paul George made the fifth offense, Vogel paused to consider it, and left him on the court.

Instead, he dropped Lance Stephenson and replaced him with CJ Watson.

This somewhat incomprehensible substitution received a miraculous effect tens of seconds later. CJ Watson caused Ray Allen to foul from outside the three-point line, and the Pacers led by 4 points again after making the free throw.

Then the Pacers replaced Stephenson, and the defense was suffocating again.

Ordinary teams can't hold on at this time. It's almost the end and the score hasn't been overtaken yet, but the Heat are not an ordinary team, they didn't give up.

Wade hit a throw, Stephenson missed a shot, but Hibbert grabbed an offensive rebound and passed it to George Hill, who came in and made two free throws for a foul.

It was always a little bit close, and there was a problem with the rebound at the critical moment.

Zhang Xiaotian was standing against Paul George, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to help defend. The opponents were of different levels.

The Heat chose to pause, and they needed three points at this time.

After playing, James broke through with the ball and passed it to Bosh, and Bosh passed it to Zhang Xiaotian.

But the ball stopped when it reached Zhang Xiaotian, and the hearts of all the audience came to their throats.

Many anxious fans on the Internet have already scolded that stopping the ball at this time is courting death, but there are also many fans who are starting to look forward to Zhang Xiaotian's performance.

Zhang Xiaotian asked for a cover, which was not part of the tactics, and his teammates were also a little depressed, but at this time, he had to come here first.

Paul George reacted quickly, but Zhang Xiaotian moved faster. He only took one step laterally with the cover and shot.

After the shot, all dissatisfaction turned into excitement, and he hit a three-pointer. At this time, the time on the calculator was 20 seconds.

The Pacers sent the ball, and the Heat first forced it. When the ball passed to Paul George, Zhang Xiaotian sent him his fifth foul.

If the opponent is not forced to make a mistake, he can only choose foul tactics.

Paul George withstood the pressure and made two free throws, 102:105.

With 12 seconds left, Zhang Xiaotian asked for the ball directly this time.

James hesitated for a moment, but remembering that he had missed a few outside shots, he quickly gained the upper hand rationally. He returned the ball to Zhang Xiaotian and made a cover by the way.

Without any pause, Zhang Xiaotian pulled up after catching the ball.

Paul George was blocked for a while, and he was already slow to pounce.

The three-pointer hit again, 105:105, with 6 seconds left.

Pacers coach Vogel looked very bad, Paul George made five fouls, and they had to end the game in regular time.

He gave several tactical options with a straight face. The first one covered Paul George to catch the ball, and he could shoot or pass in 6 seconds.

At the moment of life and death, the front line of victory and defeat.
