Chapter 283

Being 12 points behind, D'Antoni couldn't ignore it. On the premise of keeping the three-point starter on the court, a two-person rotation was carried out. Nash and Stoudemire were replaced to rest, and Barbosa and Hunter came off the bench.

D'Antoni directly left the three strikers who did not perform well in the first quarter on the field, as if he wanted them to find a feel.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle doesn't have many cards in his hands, so he can only carry out a moderate rotation. Fred Jones, Austin Crohill, and Scott Pollard go into battle.

When the second quarter started, Marion took the lead, received a pass from Barbosa, punched Crohill directly, rolled his back to the basket, forced his shot, wiped the backboard and scored the basketball.

32 to 22! !
At this moment, Marion's top-notch physical talent was fully manifested, using his body to bully people.

Austin Crohill was the first-round pick of the 1997 generation. He is 206cm tall and weighs 107kg. He is taller and heavier than Marion.

The Pacers attacked, Jensley used Pollard's cover, went inside, jumped up from the basket, faced Hunter's stretched hand to block, Jensley stretched and stretched, dodged in the air, and hit the basketball into the basket basket.

34 to 22! !
Barbosa didn't let the Pacers be alone. He quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without stopping for half a minute.

With lightning-like speed and quick explosive power, he forcibly entered the inside line, single-handedly, used his own speed to penetrate the Pacers' defense line, made a three-step layup, hit the basket under the basket, and scored the basketball.

34 to 24! !
Barbosa won the title of "Brazilian Lightning" by relying on a fresh move, forcing a layup with speed, no one can react in time when rushing, and it is full of lethality.

If his mid-range shot is more accurate and his strength is stronger, he will almost be a Wade again. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

He didn't become a star player, but it is still very reliable to be a sixth man and use his speed to bully the opponent's substitute.

Jensley ran a pick-and-roll with Crocier, passing the ball to Crocier, who made a solid two-pointer against Barbosa's misplaced defense.

36 to 24! !
Crozier's physical fitness is relatively average, and he is in a situation where he is in a non-descript position. Although the upper limit is limited, he has the mid-range shooting ability and strives to polish it into a space-type insider. He is still very competitive. .

As O'Neal's substitute this season, he didn't play much time, but he still averaged 9.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, which is a good performance.

The Suns attacked, Barbosa dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, resisted not to shoot, and distributed the basketball to Joe Johnson on the right.

Facing Fred Jones' defense, Joe Johnson made a three-threat pose, feinted, and immediately changed direction and broke through to the inside line.

Bang! !

Joe Johnson still couldn't find his shot. Fortunately, he was lucky. After the basketball hit the front of the basket, it bounced back.

Joe Johnson rushed forward and flew to grab the rebound, took advantage of the opportunity to attack for the second time, pulled the ball and swayed a shot, swayed the defense, killed the basket, jumped up, dunked heavily with one hand, and scored two points.

Use this powerful offensive method to vent the depression of feeling bad tonight.

Looking back, with active defense, Fred Jones was forced to miss a three-pointer and defended the Pacers' offense.

Fred Jones is the sixth man of the Pacers. He is 193cm tall and weighs 95kg. He was a first-round pick in 2002. He has a good offensive talent and currently averages 11.2 points, 3.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game. His skills are very comprehensive.

However, he found the wrong opponent. Joe Johnson gave him a taste of what is the gap between a supernova and a sixth man.

Next, the two sides fought back and forth in the chaotic battle, and no one could do anything to the opponent, and the score increased steadily.

However, the offensive efficiency of the two sides is still not high, and the Suns' outside firepower still has not opened up the situation.

Especially Richardson, who had the feeling of sleepwalking, missed two three-pointers again, relied on the counterattack, forced a layup and caused a foul by the defender. At the free throw line, he made two free throws and made two free throws. break zero.

Seeing that the Suns' offense is still not improving, and the score between the two sides cannot be reduced, D'Antoni waved his hand and replaced Stoudemire and Nash again.

As soon as he played, Stoudemire took over the offensive firepower of the Suns. After playing pick and roll with Nash, he frequently made mid-range shots or hit the basket. He made 8 of 4 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points. Only then led the Suns to 24 to 21, reducing the score of the two sides to less than 10 points.

At the end of the first half, the Indiana Pacers led the Phoenix Suns by 53 points 44 to 9 and entered the locker room to rest.

After a 15-minute break, the game came back in the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

D'Antoni didn't hold back, and still chose to trust the starting 5 tigers and go all out.

Rick Carlisle also knew that the Suns would launch the most violent counterattack. They also did not hold back, played all the good cards in their hands, and started with five players.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Suns had the right to attack the ball. Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without stopping for half a point, and immediately singled out the opponent with the ball in the middle.

He dribbled the ball continuously, one changed direction to accelerate, one turned around while running, pulled the ball up, took one step to the free throw line, and made two emergency stop jump shots.

Swish! !

Nash shot well in this game, without any false shots, and did not miss the two-pointer this time. He made a steady two-pointer and made a good start for the Suns' counterattack.

53 to 46! !
The Pacers attacked, and Jensley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, still ready to play.

Jermaine O'Neal pulled up to the high position and played a pick-and-roll with Jensley. During the Suns' defensive rotation, Jensley knew that it was not a good option to face Marion, who was of top physical fitness and could defend multiple positions.

Choose to distribute the ball to O'Neal to attack, and facing Nash, the advantage of playing big and small should not be too obvious.

Richardson saw that Nash couldn't withstand O'Neal's individual singles, so he immediately emptied Jones, who was of average offensive ability, and flanked O'Neal with Nash.

The Pacers' superstar tactics were originally to use O'Neal's powerful offensive firepower to attract defenses, and then distribute the ball to teammates with better positions to attack.

Without half a minute of hesitation, O'Neal chose to believe in his teammates' offensive ability and directly passed the ball to Jones on the left.

Since it is open, Wu Lun can make a shot, he must dare to make a shot!

This is the philosophy that the Pacers have been implementing this season. The Pacers won because of this, and they also lost the game inexplicably.

Now, the Pacers don't have many options for attacking. Without two All-Star offensive players, if other teammates still dare not make a move and don't stand up to score points, O'Neal alone cannot win the game.

Jones had no distractions and was not worried about missing the ball. Immediately after receiving the ball, he slightly bent his knees, jumped up slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he pushed the basketball away from his hand.

The basketball drew a series of arcs like a full moon in the air.

Swish!
There was a crisp sound of cleaning the net, and the white net was overflowing, and the three-pointer fell into the basket with precision, hollowed into the net, and there was a burst of white spray.

56 to 46! !
The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire in the positional battle.

Jones and Jensley resolutely pinched Nash, and O'Neal and Foster on the inside also attacked Stoudemire and Marion's basket and blocked them, leaving no room for the Suns to attack inside. .

Nash gritted his teeth, still jumped up, and distributed the basketball to the left perimeter.

In this game, if the Suns want to get back, outside offensive firepower is an essential part of the key.

Now even if Richardson performed terrible in the first half, he can only pass it out.

Richardson has fallen to the bottom, it's time for a rebound!
Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the left, Richardson caught the ball and faced the frame without any hesitation on his face. At this moment, Richardson has the characteristics of a shooter!
That is, no matter how bad the front shot is, as long as you have a basketball in your hand, don't worry about not making the shot.As long as you keep shooting, there will always be a moment when you hit the bull's-eye.

Missing a lot of shots up front?I should be thankful, because I am one step closer to scoring a goal!
Just like a lottery draw, the more you fail to win, the closer you are to winning the grand prize!

Richardson took a deep breath, bent his knees and jumped up, drew his bow and set his arrows, opened his hand and shot a three-point jumper, and the basketball was released from his fingertips.

Jones pounced back to defend, but still did not cause any interference, the basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air!

Have you?
Bang!
Richardson felt a bit of a toothache. He also missed a three-pointer this time. He couldn't remember how many shots it was, but it seemed that he was getting farther and farther away from the goal.

In the next round, the Pacers attacked, and Jensley lobbed the ball from the top of the three-point line to the inside.

Jermaine O'Neal received the ball in a low position, singled Marion behind his back, dribbled two steps deep into the basket, swayed his shoulders from side to side, suddenly increased the frequency, turned around and pulled the ball up, made a three-step layup, and jumped up from the basket.

A loud bang.

Jermaine O'Neal slams the basketball into the hoop in the air.

Back-up singles, turned around and rushed to the basket, and succeeded in a battle-axe dunk.

58 to 46! !
The Pacers have shown their offensive fangs, whether it is the offensive method or the defensive strategy, they have been clear and have been implemented.

However, the Suns' outside offense is not up to the mark. They have repeatedly had easy scoring opportunities, but they were wasted. The Iron Show seems to be going to the end?
Richardson has hardly scored in sports games so far. He missed consecutive three-pointers and felt so cold that even the fans couldn't bear it. He made 4 of 0 shots in the third quarter and still didn't score a point.

Joe Johnson wasn't much better either. He and Richardson were brothers and sisters, but he didn't score a point, and he made 2 for 0 shots.

Lin Bai played at this time, made 4 of 2 shots, and scored two three-pointers. However, it was just a drop in the bucket, and the Pacers would not change their defensive strategy at all.

Marion's touch eased and Stoudemire succeeded in attacking the inside again and again, so that the Suns' score would not be too ugly.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers played a multi-point game, and all the people were soldiers. They beat the Phoenix Suns by a score of 27 to 18, and continued to widen the gap between the two sides.

80 to 62! !
The Suns misfired outside offense and trailed their opponents by 18 points, leaving only the fourth quarter left for themselves.

In the fourth quarter of the game, D'Antoni simply sent the starting five tigers up, hoping to create a miracle.

only…

Miracles never happened.

Richardson has created a lot of miracles?

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Shi's running pass was accepted, without half a point of extra movement, and a three-point jumper was shot when it was pulled up.

Bang! !

Seeing the sound of iron strikes again, Richardson shook his head, with a suspicious look on his face.

The audience at the scene actually expressed regret!
Regret that Richardson missed a [-]-pointer?
How much undercover sacrifice did this have to do?Only in exchange for the defection of the home fans!
The most terrifying thing happened. Richardson received a point from Nash and made a wide open three-pointer!
However, Richardson, who had already doubted his life, did not shoot a three-pointer. Instead, he dribbled the ball to the basket, jumped up, and wanted to score a dribble goal.

At this moment, a figure came out from the side.

O'Neal also jumped up at the same time, waved his big hand, and landed on the basketball with a snap, destroying Richardson's inevitable dunk and knocking him to the ground with the ball.

At this time, the scene was full of boos again, and it was actually given to O'Neill, who was actively defending desperately!
what happened?

Am I not showing my toughness?

Why are there still boos of dissatisfaction?Shouldn't it be the cheers that praise me?
Little O'Neill looked puzzled and puzzled, and he was disgusted by his own fans!

Isn't this scientific?
The free throw line was surprisingly quiet. However, Richardson's mood fluctuated and he only made 2 of 1 free throws.

Set your own score at 3 points!
He made 12 of 0 shots in the game, missed all sports games, and made 8 of 0 three-pointers.

D'Antoni didn't know whether to be angry or not.

The Suns couldn't open the outside line, and Richardson's three-point offensive firepower was misfired, and he couldn't play the role of restraining the outside line.

When the 7-second run and bomb tactics were firmly under control, unable to increase speed or play run and bomb, the only diamond tactical play that the Suns could rely on was also dismantled to the naked eye.

The Pacers can unscrupulously encircle and suppress the Suns' inside offense.

In the fourth quarter, Stoudemire's offensive firepower was also blocked. When he hit the basket, there were always two insiders who were taller than him interfering with his shots, and there were always two extremely fast jump shots from the high position. Outside, grabbing his ball, putting pressure on his shot.

2投0中，斯塔德迈尔将自己的数据定格在21投10中，罚球6中6，砍下26分11助攻，随后被换下场。

Marion also tried to rush to the basket, but still failed.

D'Antoni saw that his starting five were so struggling and pale, so he could only replace them one after another in advance and admit defeat in advance.

At the end of the game, O'Neal made 29 of 15 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, 35 points, 12 rebounds and 6 blocks. With a 105-point advantage, Lectra beat the Phoenix Suns and gave their opponents a 86-game losing streak.
