Chapter 348 The times create heroes, but also destroy heroes

Big Z's tip-in allowed the Cavaliers to barely stabilize the shaky situation.

The Pacers' defense gradually improves. As long as Wade doesn't get the ball, the Cavaliers' offense will become difficult. Even at a time when the game is completely prohibited and the defense scale is enhanced, the Pacers are the best team in the league to defend.

A true strong man will not affect his powerful and strong force in any environment.

The Knights' defense was like a scattered soldier in front of Xie Hou. They looked strong, but in fact they did not echo each other enough.

Ariza is a good defensive player and has the determination to dare to face anyone. Xie Hou broke his defense and only accelerated and confronted him. Ariza's failure has nothing to do with his skills, it is completely a gap in talent.

Xie Hou easily passed his defense and noticed that Wade saved back to the basket.

He knew that the Flash was ready.

Xie Hou satisfied Wade's urgent revenge mentality. He wanted to block Xie Hou so that he could fundamentally stop the momentum of the walkers. The reason is that yes, capturing the king first, any industry applies. Unfortunately, basketball only determines the winner and lose, and does not determine life and death, otherwise they would find a killer to kill Xie Hou.

Xie Hou's European layup avoided the Cavaliers' inside defense and threw the ball with his left hand.

Wade followed up quickly. His bounce speed was extremely fast, and his sense of blocking was comparable to that of an inside player who was good at protecting the basket. If he was 10 cm taller, he would definitely be able to dominate the award of the blocking king at his peak.

Wade covered Xie Hou's ball.

At the same time, in order to block, he could not get stuck Papalucas behind him. The Greeks followed him, Wade covered the ball, he picked up the ball and made a tip-in.

There are a little more twists and turns but the same result.

35 to 37

"If the Cavaliers don't call a timeout, the game may change a lot." Leonard rarely has the chance to see such a bad coach in the live broadcast.

In terms of ability, Mike Brown is not as bad as Leonard's heart.

The Cavaliers’ dissatisfaction so far can be attributed to Brown’s excessive trust in the core main force.

It is certainly true that you believe in the core and let the core play freely. Even if some coaches give him the core players who can make a solid decision, they don’t know how to play their value.

Brown was wrong that he did not request a pause at the right time.

The second quarter took five minutes, and the first three minutes were Xie Hou's solo show, he raised the score difference to 2 points. In the next two minutes, the Cavaliers had two lucky positions and goals.

One is Daz's half-owned goal, and the other is Wade's back-to-back Papalucas turned around and threw the ball.

Wade scored three pieces of iron in a row like a reckless man.

The three irons were converted into Pacers' counterattack scores, one turned into free throw scores, and the other did not counterattack, but were shot by Xie Hou to perform a buzzer-beating shot.

"Arthur is not as strong as a person tonight!" Leonard said exaggeratedly.

The score difference has surpassed. If it weren't for Wade's back-attack, Brown would have requested a pause.

In the end, no one called a pause.

Official regulations stipulate that if both sides do not call a pause for a long time, the game will automatically enter the ad pause.

So, this game, which was so coherent that it made the fans on the scene excited, finally stopped.

Usually fans hope that the game will be more coherent, with fewer dead balls and timeouts. Too many timeouts will really affect the viewing experience.

But this game tonight was not called a timeout. If the referee hadn't called a frequent whistle, he would have felt tired after watching it in one breath.

A long-term coherent competition is like the long shot in "Birdman". Although it is wonderful, if you are obsessive-compulsive disorder, suddenly urge to urinate and have to wait until someone cuts the shot before going to the bathroom, then you will be in pain.

The Thanksgiving battle between the Pacers and the Knights, so far, gives the audience a feeling like this.

Wonderful and beautiful, but it's a bit tired of watching.

Usually, after this game, Xie Hou would sweat profusely in one and a half hours. Due to special reasons, he only played for six minutes now. Not to mention being tired, his sweat glands started working.

"Arthur, keep your current strength and don't slack off." Claire told seriously, "Andre, you replace Austin."

Then, he replaced Artest who had been playing for a long time.

Granger was summoned, and his shooting was what the team needed. Although he was not yet adapted to the strength of the NBA, he could open up space well. Defense was a surprise. Granger's defense should be one of the best among his classmates. He adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the NBA as soon as he entered the industry, and could effectively face the upper hand against NBA players.

Artest played for 10 minutes in a row from the second half of the first quarter to now. The offense still needs to find the state, and the defense needs to adapt to new rules and penalty standards.

He still has elite level single defense, but the 2003-2004 season that was defensive, DPOY, who was swaying in the league, must not be able to come back.

The times create heroes, but also destroy heroes.

The thorough implementation of the rules of starting the move is completely prohibited, illegal actions on the defensive end are cracked down on all hand movements that interfere with the attack of the ball holder, based on the principle of browsing mistakes but not letting go, causing obvious deterioration of the older generation of external lockers like Artest who likes to oppress their opponents.

The pause ends and the Pacers replace Ariza with Barnes.

Boozer was replaced and Wade replaced. The person who replaced Wade was Larry Hughes.

This person is the Cavaliers' biggest offseason gain, able to play in three positions, a typical peripheral locker.

From Hughes to Ariza and Barnes, the Cavaliers' three major signings during the offseason are all aimed at the wing defense.

With this, you can feel how much fear Xie Hou gave the Clevelanders.

Hughes came to play against Xie Hou.

Xie Hou glanced at him, said nothing else, and returned to the backcourt and started with defense.

Before joining the Cavaliers, Hughes just played the best season of his career, averaging 22 points and 6 assists per game, was selected as the first defense of the year, becoming the league's steal king.

It can be said that he was the number one blocker on the perimeter back last season.

A 196 cm tall man has long legs, a keen sense of stealing, excellent skills, and very oppressive.

It is worth mentioning that Xie Hou averaged 36 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists against the Wizards last season.

As for defense, Hughes did not defend against Xie Hou.

The Cavaliers cannot expect Hughes to defend Xie Hou alone. Hughes is the main force in defense, and Barnes is the assistant. A large number of insiders must come up to exert pressure at any time. This is the defense.

The Cavaliers' attack was first opened by Boozer.

This man took a high position and shot an arrow and scored 2 points.

39 to 35

"It seems that the Clevelanders are stable, they have to defend the 4-point advantage."

"It doesn't matter how much lead score is anymore. The important thing is to keep the lead. As long as you can enter the second half with the leading advantage, the Cavaliers can calm down and fight the Pacers with Arthur in the second half."

Xie Hou was not here, and the Cavaliers scored 31 to 19.

Xie Hou came back, and the score difference was narrowed to 4 points.

It is impossible for them to be unaffected and maintain their leading position is their bottom line.

Hughes opened his hands to Xie Hou, and his height of 196 cm is not a weakness against most opponents.

Arthur is the bug he encountered on the defensive end.

Too high and too strong, you can shoot the basket and dribble the center of gravity.

Is there any more weird combination than this? Moreover, under the current rules, Hughes's effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and it is difficult for him to reproduce the style of the first-defense steal king last season.

Xie Hou transported the ball and suddenly carried it on his back.

"Arthur chose to play behind the back single from outside the three-point line!"

105 kg vs 84 kg, with a weight difference of nearly 50 catties, such a low back hit is beyond the ordinary range.

Hughes just pushed a moment, and Xie Hou knocked away his body.

Barnes didn't care how dangerous Granger's location was, so he hurried over to double-team.

His care for his teammates allowed Granger to get a dangerous space. Xie Hou looked like he was determined to eat Hughes and passed the ball intently.

Barnes looked behind him in fear.

Granger made a three-pointer from the outside and threw into the empty space created by Xie Hou with expressionless face.

"Larry Hughes, who Cleveland spent a lot of money to bring in, seems to be no threat to Arthur."

"There is no threat at all, and fans are always worried. We have seen the Pacers and Wizards last season. Larry is too petite in front of Arthur. The sport of basketball is sometimes so unfair. One inch long and one inch strong, one pound weighs one pound strong."

McGuinness sat in the stands to mock fans, and many fans were worried about the Cavaliers' introduction of Hughes.

Now that people are being sarcastic, they are not angry but laugh.

The more they are slapped in the face, the more outstanding they are.

After Granger's three-pointer, 38 to 39, the two sides were only 1 point apart.

The atmosphere of the Cavaliers' bench was sluggish. If Xie Hou played only one quarter, he could get back the advantages they had built up with hard work, then when facing the Pacers who had Xie Hou in the whole game, would they still have a chance of winning? You can't ask the Pacers to only let Xie Hou play halftime every game, right?

Why do the Knights maintain their leading position? This is why.

Xie Hou disappeared mysteriously in the first quarter, and when he returned from the second quarter, the team was behind. If he only played one quarter and turned the team into victory, it would be a major blow to the Cavaliers who had been resting for several months in order to avenge the Pacers.

The Cavaliers' offense hit Boozer again.

Both he and Terry are good offensive players, but unfortunately they both mean the black hole with the penalty kick.

As long as you decide to do it yourself, there is no option to pass the ball in your mind.

Kirirenko followed Boozer throughout the whole process, and his long arms interfered with his shot. Boozer relied on the hit, moved his steps and turned over.

Everyone knows his shooting stability, and Kirilenko's single defense can only be interfered with by the wingspan.

With this ball, his arm span worked.

Boozer missed the shot, Xie Hou grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Clevelanders held their breath, they knew how much Xie Hou liked to play defensive counterattacks.

In less than five seconds, Xie Hou passed by two people, rushed to the frontcourt, and swung a violent one-handed slash.

In this way, I overtook it.

Mike Brown finally drove his right to request a pause in the race.
