Chapter 574: One move is wrong, the whole is wrong
One and a half minutes after Wade left the court, Xie Hou scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and he was also out of the court.
22 to 11
The 11-point gap seems to be decided.
Xie Hou's score was exactly 11 points. His offense was strong at the beginning, and then he noticed that his teammates were in good shape, and he increased the passes and received a lot of profits.
In just seven and a half minutes, Xie Hou scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
"Player A made 6 shots in seven and a half minutes and scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists; player B made 7 shots in six minutes and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Who is the real MVP?" What is the silence? McGuinness doesn't know.
An old man like him who is not involved in the Internet has no idea how much malicious his commentary style has caused him. Except for Pacers fans, no other fan likes him. Even neutral fans hate him. Because neutral fans do not mean there is no player he likes, and McGuinness's attack range covers the entire league. As long as a player who is not a Pacers, he may be sarcastic and sarcastic.
McGuinness's commentary style is loved by domestic fans, and he has been nicknamed "Onmyoji".
But after saying thank you, he felt that his teammates were in an excellent state.
O'Neal Jr. was replaced with Xie Hou. The Pacers, who were 11 points ahead, had enough reasons to let the two core members of the inside and outside take a break.
Xie Hou had just cramped when he came on the court, and O'Neal's knee injury showed signs of an outbreak. As long as he had the chance, Claire would give them a rest.
The people who replaced Xie Hou and Xiao Ao were Granger and Wang Zhizhi.
Thank you for a while, Papalucas returned to his most accustomed to point guard position.
Interestingly, he did not hold on to the ball. When he saw Wang Zhizhi asking for the ball, he pointed to the high position in the middle line that was most convenient for supporting his teammates and passed the ball over.
Wang Zhizhi took the ball at the top of the arc and looked like a human and animal harmless. The junior high school student who had just learned to play ball moved.
If we meet such a careless person on the wild court, we might scold us.
Why is the Pacers the best team Wang Zhizhi has ever been in his career? Because only this team will ignore his poor defense and strength to protect the rebounds, and give him the greatest convenience, tactical support and ball rights on the offensive end.
Papalucas, Granger and Artest, three people with status far above Wang Zhizhi, started from the two wings, spread around the two bottom corners, covering and handing hands.
The ball was given to Artest, and the beast tried to break through; one side could not find the opportunity, and the ball returned to Wang Zhizhi's hands.
Wang Zhizhi freely changed his side and handed his pick-and-roll on the spot. Papalucas ran back and cut. At this time, Lao Wang looked up at the position and threw a good support.
"Zhuzhu is really smart, and it's never hard to attack."
"When he came, I thought it was a relative who was brought by Arthur. I didn't expect him to be so good at playing. In recent years, the only time he was a starter against the Knicks not long ago. He may not be used to starting, but it doesn't matter. We really need a bench gangster who doesn't like to play starting."
Wang Zhizhi's skills won him a lot of applause. At the competition, their performance was making Bird happy.
When Bird was waiting for some scenes, he couldn't stand it.
The Knight seems not ready to fight a suffocation of survival or destruction with the Pacers.
Their core players are too young after all. Wade has played many life-and-death battles over the years. He knows that he has to play in such occasions, so he will fight when he has no touch.
This is the biggest gap between him and Xie Hou.
Xie Hou clearly understood that this was a game that could not be lost, so every decision he made was carefully considered, attacked, defended, and supported, and asked his teammates to play. He considered it before making it.
Wade is still using his child's experience to deal with the battle of life and death.
As long as he does not treat the life-and-death battle with a more serious attitude, he will not be able to defeat Xie Hou in one day.
Bird was bored, and Wang Zhizhi's pass brought him a glorious look.
"If I remember correctly, this is the year of the king's contract?" Bird asked.
The assistant replied: "Yes, he can jump out of the contract in the summer."
Wang Zhizhi's contract was drafted by Bird himself and asked Claire to make the decision. He remembered the details very clearly. He remembered the specific amount of Wang Zhizhi's contract, which was a number that matched Wang Zhizhi's value.
Bird likes smart players, and Wang Zhi has many problems. If he switches to a middle and upper-level team, he may not have a place to stay. The Pacers are one of the few teams that suit his style.
Considering that he is only 30 years old, players of his age should be able to maintain their competitive standards until they are around 35 years old as long as they have high level of training and competition.
Bird is seriously considering signing a long-term contract with Wang Zhizhi.
At this time, Wang Zhizhi's problem arose.
If Xie Hou had not appeared at the same time, the offensive rhythm of Wang Zhizhi's team would have been very slow. There were statistics on the Pacers. When Wang Zhizhi was independent of Xie Hou, the Pacers were the last in the league in terms of the number of rounds per game.
If the offensive success rate can be guaranteed, this is no problem. Slow down, just save the players' physical fitness.
But at the same time, Wang Zhizhi's defense was obviously not as slowed down.
Any team can play slowly, provided that they must drag their opponents to a slow pace.
This is because of Wang Zhizhi but without a defender of Kirilianko or a large-scale excellent defender like Xie Hou. The Pacers are not doing well for the time being.
The Knights began their counterattack.
Jason Terry's offensive ability is not a big hit. He has a long-range shot that is the best in the team, plus Pitrus and Barnes, two guns that can be defensive and shoot.
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers opened fire with 22 to 29.
The lead with 11 points was chased to 7 points, and the result was acceptable.
Claire stood on the sidelines and thought for ten seconds, and decided to let Pacers er O'Neal go on rest.
Moreover, in order to protect Jeff Foster, he actually let Wang Zhizhi and Blachi start.
"I think it's very risky."
"It's not just adventure?" McGuinness said pessimistically, "this is the Pacers version of Zach Randolph and Andrea Banyani."
Not to mention, it's really interesting.
After hearing McGuinness's unlocking, Xie Hou secretly gave a thumbs up, and the two of them thought of going together.
This lineup is creative, has room, and can play many routines, but the defense is not good, and once the Cavaliers play fast, it will be very troublesome.
The Pacers give opportunities, and the Knights will naturally not miss them.
A clever figure, with huge cheeks, holding a red tassel gun, carrying a treasure bow on his waist, and a wise horse under his seat. The horse came to the front of the formation - the writing was crooked - who else could Wade be? He was so bad in the first quarter that he had exhausted Mike Brown's patience in just 6 minutes and was pushed to the bench to think about it quietly. In the second quarter, Wade was determined to win back the team's trust, and he first shot three-pointers, then swung his gun and rushed left and right into Zhuge Malong's central tent, scoring 6 points in a row, and scored Claire's timeout.
Wade turned around and saw the head coach with a fat head as big as bread smiled happily. Um! He won the trust of the head coach again!
Wade only took two minutes to force Xie Hou to the court.
Claire replaced Papalucas and Wang Zhizhi, and replaced Xie Hou and O'Neal Jr.
The Cavaliers also changed the lineup, and they changed the lineup that was most suitable for fast-moving: Wade, Terry, Hughes, Boozer and Boone.
Not counting these five people, they just brought Barnes, Pitrus and others with them, and they had a bunch of good guys running like the wind.
Moreover, among these players, there are many good defensive players, and there is also evidence to rely on.
Unfortunately, as of now, the Cavaliers have not shown their defensive aggressiveness in the playoffs. Their forward group prepared against Xie Hou allowed the latter to average 42 points per game in four games. Xie Hou's average data is like an invisible declaration, telling the world that "there is no way I am so strong."
Wade tried his best to catch up with a score of 3 points, which made Xie Hou beat him up as soon as he came on the court.
One of the characteristics that Wade, Terry and Hughes stand in front of them is shortness and thinness.
Looking at these people, Xie Hou felt sorry for his height and 106 kilograms of meat if he didn't beat them on his back.
Within a few minutes, Xie Hou's back beaten the knights to the point of scattering.
Affected by the violent back attack, the Cavaliers actually need to mobilize the inside to help defend the outside.
Once the inside line throws the defender and runs towards Xie Hou, there is a risk of being beaten behind him. Xie Hou is not the one who can't see his teammate's position when he starts attacking. He knows very well in his heart, passing the ball in an orderly manner, and hits the Cavaliers for several rounds.
The terrible pressure brought by the dislocation pauses the Knight.
This timeout was exchanged for a miserable 9-1 round.
Within three minutes, the Cavaliers had to build a killing line with strong inside, and no other achievements were made.
Wade was behind after 3 points after fighting bravely, but Xie Hou was hit by 11 points.
After careful look, it is not exactly the same as at the end of the first quarter?
"If the Cavaliers have only this level, we will win," Bird said on the bench.
The teams that can force the Pacers to the Tianwang Mountain to compete for the match point are naturally not the only level, but their mentality and layout are wrong from the beginning, which is ridiculously wrong.
The timeout is over, and the Cavaliers want to quickly chase points with defense creating a counterattack opportunity.
Good idea.
They replaced Terry and Pietrus to increase the defensive intensity.
Their wing chase Pacers' cover is active, and Larry Hughes has been working hard to block the pass route, but there is no communication between them and silence, which is a common mistake made by young people.
They had communication problems, Pitrus had to continue chasing and cover, while Boozer and others chose to switch defenses, so Brachi got a few seconds of empty space.
Xie Hou made a back pass, and Blachi made a mid-range jump shot.
The beautiful tactics completely destroyed the Cavaliers' defense.
