Chapter 312 bullying the small with the big
To be interesting, when Xie Hou came on the court, Cavaliers head coach Brandon Malone finally realized that Wade played a bit long (it was too fucking long). From the first quarter to the first three minutes of the second quarter.
For a full 15 minutes, only counting the game time, Wade played for 15 minutes, but in fact, the total time of the game has passed half an hour.
Within half an hour, Wade had only had a dead ball and could breathe a few breaths at the end of the first quarter.
When Wade is not without someone to replace him, Malone lets him fight for so long, and if any accident occurs, he will bear all the responsibility.
So, the Knight made a substitution adjustment.
Jason Terry replaced Wade and Pavlovic replaced Crawford.
The offensive core and the outside defense core were replaced by the enthusiastic Terry, and Pavlovic, the European heavy gunner, the Cavaliers' lineup depth is actually good, but Malone trusts the main force too much and it is difficult to distinguish reasonable playing time.
After Xie Hou came on the court, the previous lead was caught up by the Cavaliers.
The current score is 37 to 36.
The Pacers have only one point lead, and the ball is in the opponent's hands.
Terry is petite and his range is his most threatening weapon.
Xie Hou was not against him, and Claire asked Papalucas to take care of him.
Previously, Papalucas had played 15 minutes in a row, and Claire used him more than the Cavaliers and Wade.
Claire is not the kind of head coach who likes to work hard on players. If Artest was not banned, their perimeter defensive resources would not be so poor.
Without Arte, there is only Papalucas, a reliable peripheral locker.
Terry knew his own advantages and weaknesses. He called Boozer to pick and roll and flashed out of the gap. It was rare to have a chance. He directly jumped into the three-point line with one jump shot.
38 to 37
"Jason's three-pointer helped the Cavaliers score in the inverse!"
"Wonderful goal, Jason cleverly used Carlos' pick-and-roll, and the jets flew up!"
Terry made a classic squirting positive flying gesture, which led the audience of DeDai Center to cheer for him. All teams need such players to encourage the audience to cheer for the team.
Xie Hou said to the Greeks: "Theo, you owe me an assist."
"How do you remember this?"
"If you don't return me, I can remember the day you turned into ashes."
Since he was so stingy, Papalucas had to return it to him. That was Xie Hou's tactical hint. Papalucas had been with him for many years and knew his virtues very well.
The Cavaliers let Terry and Pavlovic play at the same time, a defensive and fierce Xie Hou, and a Greek with a mild defense.
Xie Hou's defensive mission undoubtedly fell on Pavlovic, who was only one centimeter shorter than him and weighed about the same size.
Like Xie Hou, Pavlovic was selected by nBa a few years ago, stayed in Europe and honed for several years before he reached 6nBa.
He had been playing for Yugoslavia's mighty power before, and he didn't play as the main player a year before he landed at 6nBa, and failed to fight Xie Hou.
Xie Hou controlled the ball from the outside, and Pavlovic opened his hands and stared at his opponent with sharp eyes.
The Greeks landed, as fans saw, and he got the position.
The boo appeared, and the 2o2 cm Papalucas was ready to hit Jason Terry with 188 cm back.
"Fans should be grateful that Theo's back hit is different from Arthur."
"Totally different!" they stressed.
A two-meter defender like Papalucas is the only point guard in the league who is taller than him, his teammates - in fact, there is also James - his low post has an advantage against anyone.
The commentator said one thing right, his back hit was gentler than Xie Hou.
However, any kind of back-and-beating really needs to be fought, it has nothing to do with the word gentleness.
Xie Hou's back hit will kill people, Papalucas' back hit will be gentler, and it will cost you half a life.
The Greeks' back hit Terry's body like a raised warhammer. With just a moment, he turned around and licked the basket, and was hit so hard that he could not see the jets from east, west, south and north until the ball entered.
This is the benefit of height.
Because Papalucas's offense was straightforward and the back was hit, and he turned around and licked the basket very smoothly, Xie Hou's statistics added an assist.
"Is this all an assist?" Papalucas said unexpectedly, "It's really easy for nBa to come." It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with paying off the account so easily.
Terry was furious by Papalucas' back, and it was a goal made entirely by his body.
People often forget that basketball is a sport that is more physical than the body because the players show high skills and ball quotient.
Terry's attack hit the wall.
His layup was rejected by O'Neal Jr. and the ball flew to the periphery.
It happened to be picked up by Szebiak. Jasic, who was defending against him, was so bad that he could be determined by just the experience summarized from the opponent's little playing time in the semi-finals.
Facing this person, even a shooter like Szebiak dared to extend his hand to call his teammates to pick-and-roll.
The pick-and-roll is in place, and the handsome shooter dribbles to the right, pauses and shoots the basket.
41 to 39
The 2-point gap makes people confused.
Vujasic's defense just now was a complete gift. He was very motivated, but the effect of defense was too poor.
Teammates are used to his repeated blowouts in defense. It is the Pacers' turn to attack, and Papalucas continues to fall low.
“!!”
The audience at the Loan Center Arena booed angrily.
So what? Terry still couldn't stop Papalucas from getting low.
Xie Hou dribbled the ball, just as he wanted to get the right position, the lob ball went in.
Pavlovic looked back at the Greeks who were preparing to attack, and then looked at Xie Hou. Should he go back to double-team? Xie Hou's long shot was not smooth. He only shot a shooting percentage of just over 20% in the regular season, and rose to 30% in the playoffs.
The 1o% increase is indeed very large, but it is only 3o%.
Pavlovic thinks it is worth the risk.
Why? Because Xie Hou's three-point shooting percentage is only 3o%, and Papalucas' success rate of hitting Terry with his back is at least 95%.
There is a saying in Magic Ball theory: the return of a 33.5% three-point shooting percentage is greater than a 5o% two-point shooting percentage.
So when facing a low success rate of more than 95%, isn’t Xie Hou’s 3o% three-point shooting rate as light as a feather?
At that moment, Pavlovic certainly didn't have so many thoughts in his mind. He just determined that he was right according to his understanding of the game.
In fact, he was really right. Even the coaching staff off the court nodded to his decision to dare to let go of Xie Hou.
"It's so bold, but yes, that's it!"
Papalucas would not stand there waiting to be double-teamed to death. When Pavlovic set off, Xie Hou had already spoken to remind him.
His back hit was halfway through and he stopped and passed the ball back.
On the outside, Xie Hou took the ball and shot fakely and flew back to defense. He rubbed his body and dribbled the ball and attacked the penalty area.
In such a small space, Xie Hou still transported the ball twice.
The Cavaliers wanted to destroy the ball but couldn't destroy it. He saw him jumping with his right foot, holding the ball with both hands in the air, first moved to the right side, avoiding the block of Daz, and contacting the divine tower that had covered him not long ago. In a vague way, he heard the referee blew a whistle, so he grabbed the ball with his left hand and did not look at the basket, because Daz's body completely blocked his sight.
In fact, he didn't need to look at the basket, he just took the ball with his left hand based on his feelings.
Play cricket!
"and one!" the commentator shouted, "Arthur made a third foul from Big Z!"
Even Xie Hou didn't expect that this was Daz's third offender.
The Lithuanian, who averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, had to get out now because he had three bounces in less than halftime.
The person who replaced him was Brazilian actor Valaijo.
This variable made Cavaliers fans feel inexplicably empty.
There is a big gap between a penalty area with big z and a no big z.
With Xie Hou's breakthrough ability to see who has ever seen whom, isn't it like a courtesan who is like a courtesan who is wearing perfume on his body to attract customers?
Valaijo came on the court without changing his face, and he would guard the penalty area with Boozer.
Before he got on the court, the head coach gave him the task: do your best to create an offensive foul by Arthur.
Such a simple task is no pressure for the nBa actor, so he completed his goal.
Before the half, he caused two offensive fouls from the Pacers.
Once it was Xie Hou, and once it was O'Neal Jr.
