Chapter 804: Fight to the death
Tim Thomas missed the accuracy, O'Neal Jr. made an offensive foul, the ball was given to the Suns, and the Pacers requested a timeout before the official timeout arrived.
14 to 7
The Suns lead by 7 points, and the ball is in their hands. If they scored three points, the difference will reach double digits.
The atmosphere at the scene was too terrible. If the score difference was widened to double digits in this case, Claire was not sure if they could recover it.
In the audience, Xuewei was worried about the game and Qiya.
The terrible stadium scared her and she cried loudly. She really shouldn't have brought her children. If it were a public place, the crying of the children would make people irritate. Here, only Xuewei and the people with her could hear the crying.
"Xuewei, leave Qiya to me, I'll take her to have some fun." The suggestion of "Sakura Takako" solved Xuewei's trouble.
Xie Hou was surprised by Guizi's lethality to his children.
No matter how troubles a child is, he is so well-behaved that he suddenly becomes several years older.
Pause ends.
The Pacers adjusted the inside duo.
Thomas and O'Neal Jr. were replaced at the same time.
With the current personnel reserves of Pacers, who can replace them?
The answer is Andrey Brachi and pure blue-collar Steven Hunter who were previously deprecated.
At the beginning of the season, the Pacers hope to enter the third year of the league to succeed Wang Zhizhi to do what Lao Wang once did.
He is talented and has many offensive skills that a rough guy will never learn in his entire life. He is young and energetic and not satisfied with the monotonous role Wang Zhizhi plays.
He wanted to take on more, and the Pacers were the defending champion, and he had a heavy responsibility. He failed to do the job left by Wang Zhizhi and even messed up the game.
The Pacers, who had shortage of insiders, would rather let Xie Hou play as a power forward than give him a chance.
Are players who are useless in the regular season useful now?
This is a problem.
But the walkers have no choice.
Nash spent the half with the ball and attacked the pick-and-roll towards Xie Hou's position.
His speed is frighteningly fast.
Suns fans were very happy to see him showing something that matched the nickname "Son of the Wind". The wind was as fast as the wind, not just the long hair was drifting, and Hunter was easily fooled and blocked. His hasty defense only created scoring opportunities for Marion behind him.
Nash's ball holder can switch between offense and defense at any time. After all, he is the first man in history to lie on the ground after completing the shot frequently.
16 to 7
Marion eats cakes and scores easily.
Pacers are 9 points behind.
Xie Hou drove the ball forward, and Claire had no hope of making any achievements for Blachi and Hunter.
Thomas and O'Neal Jr. were in poor condition at the start, so they went down to rest for a while and left for later use. These two items on the field can last for one minute.
Time is priceless, and their ability to hold on to the game is the greatest help to the team.
Xie Hou asked Brachi to open the space. In the finals, the third grader who claimed to be a genius dared not act spontaneously and took the initiative to pull it away. Hunter picked and rolled it out, leading Marion. The hackers' assisted defense was not enough to be afraid. Hunter moved sideways and lacked the threat of three-pointers, which made the Suns make a decision easily.
Even Tim Thomas dared to put open spaces, and now he has struggled to get free throws. Leaving him outside the three-point line is the greatest help to the Suns' championship career.
Hunter stayed alone and was unclaimed. Even the Suns knew that this man was not threatened with shooting, and it was even more impossible for the Pacers to be unclear.
He was lonely outside, but he also formed a partial two-to-one.
He gave Papalucas a cover and helped him create an opportunity to shoot an open spot. Xie Hou, who was surrounded by three people, was not sure what was going on behind him, and threw the ball back with the ball in his hand.
If he makes a mistake, the Suns will break the ball and easily hit a counterattack.
But he didn't believe that Hunter or Papalucas would run the wrong tactics.
That is a tactic that is repeated on the training ground for ten thousand times, and it is impossible to miss it.
Papalucas ran out of the position, received the ball, and made three-pointers from the top of the arc. Everyone in the Suns looked at the basketball, and the arc was just right.
"Swish!"
"Some people say that Steve has a radar-scanning vision, and I think Arthur has the same talent." Kenny Smith said. "Who can you see the Suns' defense against him just now, except Arthur, who can pass the ball?"
"Magician" said with a shameless face: "I was ten years ago."
"Haha, you retired even ten years ago, right?" Barkley joked.
"Although I retired, I can still play. I even teamed up with Kobe to play the summer league with the Chinese team. "The Magician" talked about his past gratitude. At that time, he gained weight and his consciousness was still there, so he definitely couldn't play now.
1. Old fans should have an impression that Hu Weidong and 17-year-old Kobe competed.
The commentator talked far away, but the game did not stop.
The Pacers replaced two inside main players. Although the intention was good, the strength of Brachi and Hunter did not meet the requirements of the finals. They played against Garnett and Marion, just like fish on the chopping board.
Nash pendant.
The ball passed Garnett's hand, and he was outside the paint area. Blachi was solid behind him and was worried.
Both high school students were selected as the fifth pick in 1995, while the other was selected 10 years later, when the high school students draft ended and were gradually blocked by the league, they were selected in the second round.
Everyone knows that high school students compete for talent in the talent show.
Those who dare to run at this stage have extremely strong confidence in their talents. Brachi's second round selection proves that there is a gap in talent between him and Garnett. However, he himself does not rely on his ultimate athletic talent to attract scouts. His offensive skills and the rare ball-holding skills of 210 cm inside are his selling points, but his skills require time and number of shots to be tempered. Unfortunately, the Pacers do not have the corresponding soil.
Offense is inefficient and defense is defensively labeled, and it continues to be fulfilled in the finals.
Garnett ignored defense and turned over and jumped.
Blachi's reaction was that his arms rose vertically and reached his leaping chest, and it was over.
"Swish!"
Poor defense allowed Garnett to score his personal 11th point in the first quarter.
"If Andre continues to defend like this, I'm sure he will not play for a long time!" Barkley criticized Blachi's defense, "On the court, he is the only one who defends in the regular season, and even the fans on the sidelines work harder than him!"
Kenny Smith laughed: "If even Chuck starts to question someone's defense, then his problem may be really serious."
"Magic" laughed loudly when he heard this. Barkley put away his serious face and shamelessly followed: "I don't like the ones who don't defend the most."
The fierce game caused fans to ignore Sir Charles' "I look down on myself".
Barkley's accusations against Blachi will cause the latter to face strong criticism and attacks on the Internet.
But his teammates were used to it, so they didn't expect him to make a difference. Xie Hou saw him bent on his back, which was an angry position. He was as domineering as O'Neal.
Only O'Neal, who is the best in the inside line like him, is the only one in the team.
That's right, you have to be fierce.
The more violent you are, the more temper you have. Having a temper is not a bad thing, you are afraid of not being angry and not daring to beat you.
Xie Hou put away the ball and threw it out. Blachi got the ball, hit Gate wildly, turned around and jumped back, his posture was so beautiful.
Garnett's finger obviously touched the ball, and the basketball's flying arc was extremely weird. Fortunately, Garnett blocked the ball, so Steven Hunter could catch the rebound, play for a second offense and score.
12 to 18
The Suns lost their first offensive rebound tonight, and the Pacers scored their first second offensive score in the game.
6 minutes apart, there are less than 4 minutes left in the game.
Garnett squeezed the space violently in the way Blachi was in the position. Seeing that he was not very capable, Blacmy dared to fight with Garnett and did not admit defeat or be timid throughout the whole process.
Just this, Claire didn't change him to the court in vain, if it were this tone.
"A fierce physical confrontation may not bring any benefits, but your teammates can see that they will know the effort you put in on the court."
"Andre Blachi has many shortcomings, but fortunately, he is not lacking in blood." said Pacers legend Reggie Miller.
His key position made Garnett's ball catch not easy at all.
Garnett received the ball and prepared to attack. Xie Hou's pace was astonishingly fast, and he instantly came in to form a fierce attack with Blachi.
If Garnett hadn't occupied the high, he would have lost the ball with such high-quality pinch strength and timing.
"You're one step late!"
Garnett threw the ball over his head into Iguodala's hand on the outside.
Iguodala has three-pointers, and Xie Hou dares to face the consequences of the opponent's three-pointer if he dares to double-team. What's more, the opponent is not the sharpshooter who "kills an enemy with one bullet"!
Bang!
The landing point of the long rebound was predicted by Xie Hou. His double-team forced Garnett to pass the ball. Iguodala missed a three-pointer and flew out. He grabbed it and confronted Iguodala who wanted to grab the rebound before landing.
Iguodala was pushed open by his body, and then something that the Phoenix could not control.
Pacers' first defensive counterattack tonight!
Xie Hou rushed through the half and jumped two steps from the free throw line. His body flew through the paint area. The resistance in the air did not prevent him from completing some dazzling feats.
The ball in his hand rotated with his long arms and waltz. He slid out a round and inconspicuous windmill, flying at just enough. After swinging in one circle, the basketball hit the basket with all its might, briefly calming down the noisy Mexican Stadium.
"Good ball Nissan!"
"Qiya, that's your dad!"
Aosaki Takako saw this scene through the large screen of the service area on the top floor.
She excitedly told Qiya who was the person who brought the wonderful things.
Qiya seemed to understand and laughed loudly.
The powerful Suns still control the situation like the first six games.
They led from the first quarter to the end of the first quarter.
But they were just leading, and they could not establish the advantage of the big score, because the Pacers always scored, and they fought to the death like the fourth quarter of Game 6.
As the core figure of this determination, King Arthur Xie Hou played 12 minutes in the first quarter.
Chapter completed!
