Chapter 882 This is impossible
Chaotic, getting more and more chaos.
It is polite to say that the Pacers' offense has no rules. After playing half a quarter of the game, Ranbill did not give the old brother face and criticized on the spot: "If the Indiana had this skill, this round would be swept again."
Pacers have five moves in positional battles.
Parker started the one-on-one challenge, Bend played with the ball, Artest played back, O'Neal Jr. single, and Miller received a three-pointer at the running position.
Looking at it, Miller has some technical content, but Miller's three-point running position is a tactic that the Pacers have had for more than ten years.
The Pacers' talent is indeed the top league, and they are 8 points behind in the half quarter. The smiling assassin called a pause and scolded the young man: "Listen to the booing at the scene, the Detroits look down on you!"
"These repairmen think you will definitely lose. If you are fucking men, do something that men should do!" The Smiling Assassin obviously forgot that he dedicated his career to the repairmen on the sidelines. His jersey number and the two championship flags he won for the team are over this luxurious arena where he has never played games. "We want to do it to the end with them!"
The young man was encouraged by the smiling assassin, and his face turned red and he was ready to fight a fierce battle with his opponent.
By snatching offensive rebounds, they fully demonstrated their talents.
Relying on the speed of the ball, Bend took turns to click the rebound. Although he could not control the ball, it was difficult for the Pistons to grab the rebound.
Artest was a ferocious beast. He got rid of Hill who was stuck, rushed into the basket and grabbed the basketball from the inside, and stuffed it into the basket.
He roared, as if he had successfully invaded the group of lions, and could not help but roaring to the sky to show his majesty.
12 to 18
The game time was quickly flowing away. Mo Mengchen turned around and caught the ball sent by Curry, and slowly raised his left index finger.
Scalpel No. 1 tactic.
Although it is a well-known tactic, it is not easy to crack after transformation. Under Princeton's system, the scalpel tactics are even sharper.
Curry and Rashid were in the high position at the same time, and Mo Mengchen used a pick-and-roll and the lob ball blocked Curry who was defeated.
Curry's downward speed was not fast, and the Pacers shrank the defense line for his invasion. At this time, Curry led the ball to the bottom corner on the left.
On the outside, Duke Devils Mountain received a three-pointer.
"Eddie Curry gave an assist in the hockey!"
The so-called ice hockey assist lies in the transfer of the ball's strength and weakness side. For example, the Pistons' ball just now, Mo Mengchen called the pick-and-roll to disrupt the Pacers' defense, and the lob ball was used to Curry. Curry dribble the ball to attract the baseline opponent to defend. In this way, Hill got an open position, Curry transferred the ball to the weak side of the defense, assisting his teammates to score. This is the most common assist on the ice hockey court and is also applicable on the basketball court.
This is the characteristic of the transformation of the Scalpel No. 1 tactic. The players who dominate it have become inside, and the ball holder only serves as the starting point of the offense.
Momonchen continued to put pressure on Parker, and Bend and Artest came to the outside line to prepare for the ball.
Mo Mengchen's defense is stronger than expected, and Parker has never encountered such a defense.
Tall, terrifyingly flexible, excellent physical fitness, and extremely accurate predictions of attacks.
There is no way, even passing is dangerous.
In order to get the ball, Artest deliberately walked around Parker and took the ball.
The moment the ball was split, Parker's heart relaxed.
The young Frenchman did not notice that Artest's position was quite bad. When he handed over the ball, Momonchen and Hill also played defensive strength against Artest at the same time.
"Oops!"
"Ron Artest is in danger!"
As soon as Ranbir finished speaking, Mo Mengchen's palm cut off Artest's ball like a dagger. Hill lowered his body and grabbed the ball and passed it to Mo Mengchen who had already started running.
Artest chased after him with all his might.
Mo Mengchen noticed the beast behind him. He stopped coldly outside the three-point line and judged the opponent's position by the sound and frequency of his footsteps. He calculated the time. At the moment Artest jumped, he took a step to the left, with a slightly drifting left three-point jump shot, his body was twisted, but his shooting posture was intact and the ball shot high.
"Impossible!" Artest screamed and ran to the basket to prepare for rebounds.
Impossible? Mo Mengchen didn't even look at it, turned around with a sneer, and when he turned around and took the first step, he drifted his left hand and hit the board with a three-pointer.
Shooting has always been a skill that Artest has worked hard to study. He practiced very hard, but his shooting has always been unstable. But this person... This person...
He looked at No. 9 in surprise.
24 to 12
The score difference was widened to 12 points, and Thomas was forced to take a timeout.
There are four and a half minutes left in the first quarter.
Westfall made substitution adjustments.
Momonchen, Curry and Rashid left for a break.
Ginobili swung to No. 1, Reed played No. 2, and Miller and Jerome Williams partnered with the inside.
Miller was on the court, and the Pistons had the fastest ball in the inside. Because Rashid was not on the court, Princeton was short of it. They could not expect Jerome to play tricks as a roadster - unless they wanted to see Jerome make 10 mistakes in one game.
After the timeout, the Pacers' offense was still fighting alone, but the offensive core became O'Neal, who was suppressed by Curry's talent since the beginning and could never receive the ball.
The most obvious change on the defensive end.
First, O'Neal Jr. turned over and forced Miller to take one goal.
14 to 24
After catching up to 10 points, their goal is to narrow the gap to within eight points before the second quarter.
Ginobili was driving the ball, and Miller first went to the pick-and-roll.
The Argentinian dribbled to the strength side, and suddenly, the Pacers' defensive changes appeared.
Princeton emphasizes the movement of people and balls, and is consistent. Therefore, the positions that launch attacks are mostly strong sides. There are many people here and it is convenient to transfer the ball. The corresponding space is small, which is extremely challenging to use hands. This is also the reason why the Pistons have the highest turnover per game this season.
In view of this feature, the Pacers specially arranged a strong side double-teamed ball player, and it was at a special time.
Double-teaming happened after Ginobili launched a breakthrough.
Parker's body could not stop the breakthrough of the demon sword, but Artest was able to do it. He was known as a wild beast. In addition to his competition style, his body as hard as a beast was also an important reason for him to get this nickname.
Ginobili was about to pass the ball, but Artest's confrontation put him in danger. Parker attacked from behind like a hyena, and took off the Argentinian egg in an instant - the ball was cut off!
Parker's speed was the second person outside Mo Mengchen. As long as he ran, Mo Mengchen was not on the field, and no one could stop the Pacers' counterattack.
16 to 24
"Did you see the problem?" Mo Mengchen asked.
Hearing this, Curry said: "They seem to have strengthened their defense against the ball holder."
"Not bad, but not just that," Mo Mengchen said, "you keep watching."
Ginobili was careful this time and was obsessed with the penis. After breaking through, he passed the ball to Hill in advance.
Hill encountered a change of defense and broke out again, and the ball was passed to Reed in the bottom corner. The Pacers' defense failed to keep up, but it caused a slight interference.
Missed three points.
"That's a good opportunity," Curry said.
While speaking, the Pacers' counterattack was stopped by Hill's foul.
"It's a good opportunity, but we can get better opportunities by launching pick-and-rolls on both sides at the same time," Mo Mengchen said.
Curry never thought he would discuss tactics with Mo Mengchen.
He was also observing the Pacers' defense. After Reed made a shot, Hill led the outside defense and also defended the Pacers with one goal.
Looking back, Hill attacked with the ball, Artest's defense was as hard as iron, but his horizontal movement speed was insufficient. In this era when he could get started, his tough body and unlimited confrontation made his single defense powerful. Even Hill had to take off a layer of skin under his defense.
What happened next shows that the Walkers' double-teaming was not targeted by Ginobili alone.
Hill broke through the pick-and-roll and Miller contracted from the outside, cooperating with Artest who was entangled in Hill for high-intensity double-teaming.
"As long as our ball holder pick-and-roll, they will double-team?"
"Not bad, what else?"
"They are putting pressure on the strong side, and the people on the weak side are also shrinking to the strong side."
“What else?”
Curry, who saw through the defense, said happily like a child who had completed the puzzle: "If our ball holders launch a pick-and-roll tactic that connects both sides from the high position, they must give up the weak side in order to put pressure on the strong side, as long as we place the shooter on the weak side..."
"They're done!" Curry said as he looked at Mo Mengchen, "Is that true?"
"There is basically no problem, but you emphasize the strength and weakness side too much." Mo Mengchen looked at the ongoing game. "The strength and weakness side are not the key. The key is to link the pick and roll between the two sides. As long as we play high-quality pick and rolls, we can take the initiative and thus disrupt their defense through passing."
Curry nodded repeatedly.
Although there were new changes in the Pacers' defense on the court, Westfal never had the intention to make changes, so he let the players on the court take the moves in a daze. Off the court, the players led by Curry watched while listening to Mo Mengchen's analysis and inferences.
The Pacers' defensive change worked. After the first quarter, they chased the difference to 7 points.
The defense of Bend and Artest is the key to the success of this change of formation.
Artest's single defense and Bend's assisted defense provide them with high-quality defensive output.
In the second quarter, the Pistons disrupted the lineup again.
The five people on the field are Momonchen, Reed, Gerald, Curry and Miller.
Westfar did not have any constructive suggestions on the Pacers' defense, and he gave Mo Mengchen his full power to command it alone.
In the frontcourt, Mo Mengchen called a pick-and-roll and faced Artest. Suddenly, his fake action shot shook the highly nervous and alert beast.
Mo Mengchen dribbled outside the left three-point line, pulled up, and another left-hand three-pointer.
"This is impossible!" Artest exclaimed.
His words are spells, spells that specifically send the balls into the basket.
The goal hit Mo Mengchen's aiming angle was still hitting the board and entering the basket.
Chapter completed!
