Chapter 290 The Strong Walker

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yan Song was not the one who came up to handle the ball for the Knicks.

Yan Song has already told Van Gundy that he will make mistakes in his dribbling in the playoffs.

The dribbling should be left to Houston and Starks.

Starks dribbled the ball, and Yan Song confronted Miller near the middle distance.

Gradually, Yan Song advanced to the bottom corner.

Yan Song asked for the ball, and it arrived.

I saw that Yan Song didn't have any confrontation with Miller, and he turned around and shot a jumper.

Yan Song stretched his arms straight, and the ball spun and flew towards the basket.

"when."

After hitting the ball, Yan Song quickly ran towards the inside.

But the ball was caught by Davis, who threw the ball.

The next moment, Houston flew forward and won the ball with one hand.

Immediately afterwards, Houston made a quick three-step layup after a dribble.

In the face of Schmitz, Houston raised his right hand and threw the basketball.

Schmitz's palm was only about two centimeters away from the basketball. He failed to block the shot and Houston scored the goal successfully.

"Strike! Soft touch."

Listening to the commentary's praise and fans' screams, Houston was very proud.

The Pacers serve and Schmitz passes the ball to Miller.

Miller has already played several balls, and there is some physical exertion, not too much.

As Davis sets himself a pick-and-roll, Miller takes the opportunity to pass the ball to Jackson.

Jackson made an open shot and scored two points.

But this is still not enough to watch, and there is still a lot of difference between the score and the Knicks.

And Miller also vaguely felt that the Knicks' style of play began to stabilize.

In the next 5 minutes, the Knicks scored all two-pointers, and no one made a three-pointer.

In 5 minutes, the Knicks scored 12 points, five mid-range shots, and a hook from Dudley.

For the Pacers, they scored 5 points in 8 minutes, 4 points behind the Knicks.

During this period, Miller hit another three-pointer.

By the end of the second quarter, the score came to 51 to 47 points, and the Pacers were still 4 points behind.

Yan Song scored 27 points, Houston 14 points.

The other teams didn't score much, but the assists and steals defense were particularly good.

Steals king Yan Song currently has only two steals, but Starks has four steals.

In the locker room, Starks proudly chatted with Yan Song, asking Yan Song to give him the steal king.

Yan Song said hehe, stealing this thing also depends on luck.

If steals were so simple, not everyone could win the steals king.

I have accumulated it over time, and I have become the king of steals.

He didn't win the steals title in just one game.

At present, Yan Song only has 6 steals at most in one game.

It was still in the regular season when facing a rookie from a weak team, the opponent was very immature, and this gave him a chance.

Like Starks, he actually ran over to anger himself.

Yan Song can only express hehe, and feel that the ball is passed to him less.

...

The atmosphere in the Pacers locker room is very tense now.

The Pacers' defense is already very good, and there is basically nothing wrong with it, but Yan Song can always break through.

Scored in places they didn't expect, mid-range, pull-up layups.

Yan Song relied on his excellent jumping ability to crush defenders every time, and he scored 2+1 three times in this game.

Three points once, nine points three times.

Although Yan Song didn't make a three-point shot, it can be converted, Yan Song is no different from shooting a three-pointer.

Most of them are just the number of fouls committed by Pacers players.

At the end of the second quarter this time, the Pacers' starting center Schmitz fouled three times, and he will end up watching the show after two more fouls.

Faced with such a situation, Byrd was very calm.

Anyone can mess up, only he can't.

As the coach, he is the team's military adviser. If the military advisers are all flustered, then there is no need to continue playing this game.

Bird looked at his players calmly and said calmly.

"It doesn't matter, in terms of score, we are the closest to the Knicks in the past."

"We haven't been crushed by the Knicks too much now, only a few points."

"I believe in you, you can overtake and beat the Knicks."

Bird was motivating them, and thankfully, that helped.

Miller is the quietest of these guys, and the most level-headed presence.

Schmitz is a little tired now, beads of sweat have fallen to the ground many times.

He just didn't wipe his sweat, he used it to motivate himself and told himself what it was for.

In order to enter the Eastern Conference finals, for the finals.

Everyone's hard work for a season cannot end here. Yes, the Knicks are very strong, more lethal than the current Bulls.

But what no one in the Pacers is afraid of is that the enemy is about to defeat them.

Now, it's only 4 points away.

With only 4 points, one three-pointer can catch up, and two two-pointers can equalize.

You can't give up, absolutely can't and won't allow it.

Miller looked at the people around him and felt touched. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Now he can inspire his teammates, in the third quarter, counterattack the Knicks.

"Listen up, everyone. If you want to win, give Lao Tzu the best in the third quarter."

"Beat that shitty Knicks."

Miller spoke louder, then held out his hand.

Seeing this, everyone put their hands on Miller's and cheered.

All the Pacers players rushed out aggressively.

They are fighting for the Pacers at this moment, fighting for themselves.

The Pacers stepped up their momentum, and the Knicks, who held the ball for the first time in the third quarter, did not relax.

When the game reaches the third quarter, you can't take it lightly, otherwise the opponent will seize this opportunity and defeat them all at once.

"Three-point tactics can be played in the third quarter, and Yan Song can attract the attention of others and let them shoot."

Yan Song nodded. They have used Van Gundy's arrangement many times.

It is indeed very useful, because Yan Song will always be taken care of specially, and when he is taken care of.

The Knicks will have someone open and have a chance to shoot.

The one with the most opportunities here is Houston, who can often receive the ball.

This is also after Yan Song arrived.There's a reason why Houston's scoring average hasn't dropped.

There are a few caveats, and Van Gundy is careful.

He told Yan Song something very important, and Yan Song nodded to express his understanding.

"Yan Song, what did the coach tell you?"

While everyone was walking out, Houston ran over and asked.

"Did the coach ask you to pay attention to some places?"

"Well, the coach asked me to pay attention to Miller, saying that Miller will make actions that affect the game at critical times."

"As for the action, I won't tell you yet. Wait and see if Miller can use it."
