The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 234 Chapter 235
The Big Three can help Zhang Xiaotian attract defensive attention, and in turn Zhang Xiaotian can also help other players attract the Pacers' defense.

After Wade scored the point, the Pacers panicked, and Wade was double-teamed when he held the ball again.

Then Zhang Xiaotian also hit 2 points after receiving the ball. The Pacers spent a lot of effort on every attack, but when it comes to the Heat, it seems that singles can solve it.

Of course it's not pure singles, it's just that the Heat can give players who can score better opportunities.

The Pacers can't do that, they don't have the same characteristics.

So often when it comes to confrontation, they will feel powerless. After only playing for more than two minutes, Vogel saw that the score gap was going to double digits, so he could only replace the main force.

At this point, the Pacers have to let the main force play this move more.

They didn't hit that damn outside [-]-pointer, and their offensive power is enough for many teams, but they have some problems in front of a team of the Heat's level.

Paul George hit a three-pointer, he stood up, but it was accompanied by two strikes.

Paul George has the guts to take responsibility, but he's not a super scorer.

After 3 minutes, the Heat also began to play the main force, and both James and Bosh were replaced.

The lineup of the Heat's four main players, Gary Allen, is also the most difficult lineup for the opponent.

James breaks through with the ball. It seems that there is no complicated tactics, but the Pacers are not easy to defend, because there are too many people who can give a fatal blow. James has a good passing vision. The key is that he rushes in and cannot stand alone. .

Ray Allen caught the ball and hit a three-pointer. The Heat led to double digits. Something broke in the hearts of several Pacers players, and they couldn't stand it anymore.

Even if the Heat swept all the way in front of them, no one believed that their game against the Pacers would be like this.

Because most people think that the previous sweep is the reason of the opponent, the Heat just ran into a weak chicken.

But the Pacers' record this season is definitely not in the category of weak chickens.

At the last moment, the Pacers did not show the momentum to counterattack. They hit the iron outside the three-point line and made consecutive mistakes. They not only lost the game.

At 100:87, the Heat defeated their opponents and won the match point.

The Pacers players have already had the idea that the Heat are invincible, and now they just want to retain their dignity and not be swept away.

"When we played against the Pacers, we experienced a lot of passive situations. This is their strength. They are very good and very powerful on the defensive end. But we have no choice but to stand up and fight back." The advantage is in hand, Spoelstra was calm and breezy.

"A painful failure. We played with great fighting spirit and started very strong, but then we didn't control fouls well, and our defensive strength was not as good as the Heat." Pacers coach Vogel was very helpless.

"I'm not disappointed with the Pacers' efforts at all, but I'm a little disappointed with the results."

"We work hard to make the team stronger every day and every game." James said, "As long as we do this, go into the best game we can, then we will be very satisfied with the result. It’s a philosophy we’ve built over the past few years.”

Zhang Xiaotian looked calm, "As a result, I already knew that there is one game left in the Eastern Conference."

Unlike the Pacers, the Thunder pulled back a game after returning home.

Ibaka came back early and gave the team great help on the defensive end.

Ibaka pointed to the sky before he played, and the fans at home gave out a tsunami of shouts for him, and a few days ago, he himself didn't even dare to think that he could still play.

"Whenever you talk about your teammates, Ibaka's performance is all you can expect from a teammate," Durant said. The admiration is even greater, no matter what happens tonight, there is a feeling that something is with you."

"Selger has put in a lot of hard work throughout the season, and he hasn't lost his touch for a few days without playing," Westbrook said. "Tonight, he played out just like he used to."

In the case of rebounds being exploded in the first two games, the Thunder led the Spurs 52-36 in rebounds in this game.

"I'm disappointed in the attitude of the team that no one is stepping up," Popovich said. "They killed us in rebounding, which is very disappointing to me."

"I hope the Spurs can realize that if our own strength is not enough and we are not in the state, then it is impossible to win here." Ginobili said after the game, "The Thunder showed us the coldness of reality. I hope We were able to respond in Game [-] and play better."

The fourth battle between the Heat and the Pacers also began.

Now the outside world no longer feels that the Pacers are a threat, they are just guessing whether the Heat will sweep their opponents again.

It's already 3:0, maybe they are going back home to win the championship, maybe they have to buy tickets for one more game.

The Heat understand internally that the speculation from the outside world is nonsense.

Their goal is the championship, and the sooner each round ends, the better. As long as they can guarantee their state, they are not afraid to face the Spurs.

For a stalking team like the Pacers, one less game is just one game.

In the Banks Life Arena, the Pacers played very hard, but unlike before, they lost the belief that they must win.

The Heat still use James as the axis and use his personal offense to drive the overall offense.

Without the desperation of faith, the surface is even crazier, and the details are missing a lot.

With James' means, it becomes easier to tear apart the opponent's defense.

On the other hand, in terms of offense, the Pacers became impetuous and rushed to make various strikes.

In the first quarter, the Heat led by double digits, which was impossible before.

No matter how strong the Heat's offensive power is, the Pacers are also the best defensive players in the league. Every position is a master of single defense, and the overall defense is also strong.

It is logically impossible for a strong team like the Heat to do double digits when they are full of energy, but this is the case.

That is to say, the Pacers, who are known for their tenacity, have also lost confidence.

Many fans are sighing, but the scene of the game will not change.

Leading 20+ at halftime, Paul George also played abnormally, this game has no meaning.

Vogel roared in the locker room. He didn't want to do this until now, but he didn't want to see his disciples lose their fighting spirit, especially Paul George.

Spoelstra in the Heat's locker room is also chattering, the Eastern Conference champion is in sight, and there can be no surprises.
