Chapter 183: Impact of Injuries (Part 2)
On the court, Pacers center Roy Hibbert grabbed the rebound, did not hesitate at all, and threw the ball forward and passed it directly to Lance Stephenson. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Lance Stephenson received the ball, he quickly controlled the frontcourt, and the 76ers' retreat was fast enough, but he was still caught off guard by Lance Stephenson, who made a layup against Jack Crowder's return defense and turned the score into 4:0.
The cheers at the Conseco Arena were endless, and the 4-0 start made the fans at the scene excited.
Next, the 76ers' offense, Anxi continued to run without the ball, and McCarvey controlled the ball at the top of the arc and organized the offense.
Anxi continued to run back with the help of cover, and this time, he took advantage of Jack Crowder's empty cut to get a chance to catch the ball, and after reaching for the ball, Anxi singled out Paul George in the 45-degree mid-distance position on the left.
Anxi turned his back to face Paul George, endured the back injury and hit it, and then jumped up and threw a backward jumper.
But with a bang, Anxi's step-back jumper hit the iron again, and Roy Hibbert grabbed the rebound again.
However, this time, the Pacers failed to play a fast break, the 76ers retreated very quickly, and the Pacers were never a fast-break style team, so the two teams entered the positional battle again.
George Hill controlled the ball from the outside, pressed down the tempo, and didn't rush to attack.
And this time, it was Paul George, who cut down after a no-ball block and dismantle, and received George Hill's pass, Paul George pulled out his long arm and dunked against Asik, scoring another 2 points with a bang......
At 6:0, the Pacers opened with momentum, and in contrast, Anxi's two shots were zero.
Anxi's state in this game is indeed a little bad, the injury still has some impact on him, Anxi also entered the system interface before the game, and there was no sharp reduction in attributes like the last injury, so Anxi didn't take the small injury of back spasm to heart before the game.
Back cramps should be the most common injury in the NBA, not a major injury, in fact, it is equivalent to back cramps, just caused by excessive fatigue, and it has no major impact.
But looking at it now, Anxi obviously still underestimated the pain of cramps, and the pain in his back still quite affected Anxi's shooting.
Halfway through the first quarter, 13:4, relying on Pau Gasol's mid-range shot and Jack Crowder's dunk, the 76ers barely scored 4 points.
In the first half of the game, Anxi shot a total of three times, but failed to score, and Anxi's poor state also caused heated discussions among the commentators on the scene of this game.
Magic Johnson and Reggie Miller partnered to explain that after Anxi shot 0 of 3, Magic Johnson asked: "Anxi missed 3 shots in a row, and there seemed to be some problems with his shooting, and it seemed that he couldn't even find the basket anywhere in the face of Paul George's defense, which is strange." ”
Reggie Miller also nodded: "That's right, it's really strange, Anxi played a game two days ago, he scored 45 points in that game, and suddenly couldn't shoot in this game, and the 76ers' offense came to a standstill, Anxi couldn't score points, and the Pacers could rest assured that Paul George would go to defend Anxi alone, and it would be difficult for other players to get excellent scoring opportunities, and this game was a little difficult for the 76ers." ”
An Xi naturally knows this, if he doesn't score, the 76ers won't be able to open the situation.
Therefore, when his teammates and himself failed to shoot continuously, An Xi took the initiative to pass the basketball on the offensive end, and once again one-on-one with Paul George.
Anxi motioned to his teammates to pull away, and this ball, he was going to single Paul George.
The fans on the sidelines were excited, Paul George had already defended Anxi with 3 shots and 0 shots in this game, and now Anxi is going to single Paul George again, in the eyes of Indiana fans on the sidelines, Anxi is dying.
They seemed to see Anxi being hit by Paul George's defensive shots again, and even being blocked, and when they thought of this, they were even more excited.
There was a scream on the sidelines, and An Xi quickly launched an attack, holding the ball on the outside and shaking constantly, although the pain in his back kept warning An Xi, but An Xi ignored it, held back the pain, took a large cross step, and then suddenly changed direction, accelerating towards Paul George's right side.
Paul George had to retreat quickly, and Anxi's sudden outburst was still extremely fast.
But at this moment, An Xi suddenly made a sudden stop, snapped, stepped back, continued to endure the pain in his back, stepped back and jumped, and threw the basketball outside the three-point line.
The Indiana fans in the stadium exclaimed, because they found that Paul George was completely shaken away by Anxi, and Anxi had already pulled away from Paul George with an emergency stop, plus a step back, that was a two-step distance.
The distance of two steps is enough for Anxi to shoot this three-point shot without any pressure.
With a bang, the three-point shot was hit, and Anxi finally got the first point of the game.
"Anxi's step-back jumper finally scored, beautiful!" Reggie Miller shouted, Anxi scored, in his opinion, this goal indicates that Anxi's hand will return to normal next.
Twenty seconds later, after the Pacers scored two more points on a shot from David West, Anxi continued to attack with the ball on the offensive end.
In the face of Paul George, Anxi continued to play singles, and his starting action on this ball was exactly the same as the previous ball, the outside line continued to shake, and then suddenly accelerated towards Paul George's right side.
But this time, Paul George was not fooled, he took a step sideways towards Anxi, entangled Anxi, and this time he was not out of position.
An Xi was surprised, because he originally wanted to deceive Paul George who hesitated to retreat to defend, but Paul George showed his ball quotient and actually rushed over to entangle himself directly.
However, in the midst of the surprise, An Xi's movements did not stop, and in the face of Paul George's sticky defense, An Xi changed direction and changed direction slightly to the left.
Immediately after that, there was a sudden lateral movement, and after the feint, it changed direction to the right again.
The continuous high-speed change of direction showed Anxi's ability to cross the outside line against the sky, but it also aggravated the pain in Anxi's back, and this goal must be scored.
But to Anxi's surprise, the scene happened again, and Paul George actually followed! He's still not out of place!
And just after Anxi's continuous change of direction shots, Paul George also pounced against the sky, once again completely interfering with Anxi's shooting!
Bang, when Anxi's shot hit the iron, the Conseco Arena fell into a frenzy!
Because Paul George completed a textbook defense, he never lost his position in Anxi's three consecutive high-speed changes!
"Powerful! Paul George's defense is too strong! Anxi was completely defended by Paul George, Anxi has shot 1 of 5 in this game, and his shooting performance is terrible, which is completely because of Paul George's defense! ”
For Paul George, many NBA commentators have a recognized evaluation: "In the position of small forward, maybe Paul George is not as good as Cameron Anthony in terms of offense alone, but if you add defense, Paul George's hard power is a little stronger than the current Carmelo Anthony." ”
It can be seen that Paul George's defense is also extremely strong.
Defending Anxi's offense again, or defending Anxi's offense when Anxi has played enough against the sky, Paul George seemed very excited, he hammered his chest, and when he turned around to attack, he held the ball and broke through quickly, rushed into the interior line and scored again......
At 17:7, the Pacers' lead came to double digits.
On the defensive end, Paul George continued to play against Anxi, and the attack of Anxi under the defense made Paul George full of confidence, he clung to Anxi and announced in advance: "An, I am going to win this duel......"
An Xi frowned, at this time, he was a little helpless, the three high-speed changes of direction were all defended by Paul George, An Xi could only say that his luck was too bad.
This time, though, Anxi had to respond, and he had to tell Paul George with his goal that the matchup was far from the time to declare victory. (To be continued.) )
