Halfway through the third quarter, the Heat lost a huge 13-point advantage "out of nowhere".

In the middle of the first quarter, the Pacers hit two three-pointers and made three counter-attacks. And, of course, Anderson's impressive flying.

Everyone was criticizing Spoelstra for his timeout. However, people ignore the fact that the Pacers have reversed their form.

During the timeout, Henson did not change his strategy. The Pacers' strategy proved to work, and the reason why they fell behind so much in the first half was because the shooting didn't work, not because it was a tactical issue.

So, Henson put the change all on the personnel change. First, he replaced Danny with Leonard. Green, replacing Horford with Matthews.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Henson is going to use Matthews to play center, but he is pulling an interior lineup and swapping it back to the single-interior lineup that the Pacers were best at last season.

So when the game came back, the Pacers' lineup became Paul, George, Matthews, Leonard and Anderson, a standard big four small.

Spoelstra was dumbfounded, how did Henson know that he was going to send a big or four small one too?

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra simply took down the poor Joe during the timeout. Anthony, with Bosh as the center, James on top of the No. 4 position. Once on Team Rocket, Sean. Battier, on the other hand, is active in the third position.

Spoelstra originally wanted to use James' mobility to beat Horford, but he didn't expect that the Pacers also changed their strategy in time.

"Both sides have taken a big and four small lineups, and the rest of the game in the third quarter will probably turn into a wonderful quick attack!"

In fact, Henson and Spoelstra don't have a heart. Henson just studied the Heat thoroughly, and he knew that the Filipino had no interior available at this time, so he would simply let James top the inside.

Thinking about other people's ideas and then responding to them in advance has always been Henson's strength as a math master.

After James came on the court, he faced the taciturn, expressionless corn yellow No. 2 for the second time in this game, and the 15th pick in 2011. Leonard.

In the first half of the game, Leonard's defense of James several times has already impressed the "Little Emperor". This creature with terrible arms is like a leaf wrapped around the roots of a tree, always wrapping himself in it.

And what surprised James the most was that the first-year rookie didn't seem nervous about himself. He always worked diligently to complete tough defenses again and again, like a machine without emotions.

Compared with his height and reach, James feels that this psychological quality is more terrifying.

"The Heat only have a one-point lead, and they haven't scored since the start of the third quarter! Let's see if they can break the ice this time! ”

The Heat are still controlled by James, and Chalmers has lost even the job of dribbling past half court. But this time, James did not break through with the ball himself, but handed the ball to his teammates, and then ran to the right side of the three-second zone by himself, asked for a good position, and raised his hand with his back to ask for the ball!

"LeBron wants to play with his back to his back, he wants to play with his back like a real No. 4!"

Kenny. Smith raised his voice, and everyone knows how much James has improved in his back-to-back singles this season. And James seems to be more than happy to solve the offensive problem in this way.

Leonard still didn't have any expression, and the huge power contained in him surprised James slightly. A guy with a standard No. 3 stature can actually carry it with himself without falling behind!

James received the basketball as he wished, and then directly used his body to crush the back two steps, and turned around to go to the basket!

However, when James turned around, he saw that it was pitch black in front of him, and there was no light under the basket!

Leonard was not pushed away by James's body, but used his long arms and big hands that he had been raising high to seal James's shooting space!

“fuvk！” James cursed secretly, is this guy's arm elongated?

James retracted the basketball and took a few more steps, but those big hands were always in front of James's eyes. Just as the confrontation was heating up, the referee's whistle blew, and James thought he had a foul. However, the referee is putting his arms flat, rolling alternately, and walking in violation of the rules!

"What!?" James spread his hands and yelled at the referee in disbelief.

It turned out that in the midst of Leonard's pressing, James's steps were completely messy, and he didn't know how to walk.

"No blocks, no tackles, no take-offs. But you have to admit that Leonard put in a perfect defense! "Kenny. Smith remembered the corn yellow No. 2 and the "short big forward" with the cornhead combed.

Leonard was still expressionless, he silently took the basketball from James's hand, retreated to the baseline and prepared to serve, as if the dispute between James and the referee had nothing to do with him at all!

James looked at the emotionless face, and he didn't know who to throw fire at when he felt angry. Why does this guy look so much like the "Stone Buddha" of San Antonio!?

The first offense after the Heat's pause, an offense led by James himself, ended in failure again!

The Pacers' offense was obviously a lot smoother, with Anderson covering his teammates everywhere, and four players who could shoot and burst made the Heat unable to grasp the defensive center of gravity at all.

The basketball was eventually passed to Matthews by Paul, who didn't play much in every game, but could make a difference as long as he was on the court.

This undrafted pick got up and down and pierced the heart of the Heat with a three-point shot!

"2 points over! The Indiana Pacers take the lead for the first time in this game! It was also the third three-pointer the Pacers made in the third quarter. It seems that their feel has fully recovered. ”

In the following games, the Heat struggled on the offensive end. No matter what the point is, there is no way to get an easy score.

Paul easily strangled Chalmers, and George used his height to force James. Jones didn't dare to make a move. Battier is entangled in tough Matthews, and Bosh loses his luster in front of the energetic Birdman.

And the Heat rely on LeBron the most. James, but was repeatedly defended by the first-year rookie named Leonard!

James continued to sit in the low post and Leonard suddenly went around and stole a pass from Chalmers to LeBron! His judgment and arm length were enough for him to intercept this pass! ”

"James forced Leonard, the ball fell, Leonard stabbed the basketball, he jumped on his own, wonderful, the Pacers won the ball again!"

LeBron drove to the basket and Leonard followed...... Capped, capped! Leonard blocked James' layup, and this is the second time James has been blocked today! Magical rookie, magical Mr. Silence. He made LeBron suffer today, and he will undoubtedly make LeBron remember his name well! ”

Throughout the third quarter, James and the Heat's offense was so messy. Gradually, the Heat were demoralized, while the Pacers were getting braver.

In the last 1.8 seconds of the third quarter, Paul made a hasty shot from two steps beyond the three-point line, but the basketball was miraculously caught again!

The whistle hit a three-point shot, and the entire American Airlines Center instantly became lifeless! Because after this three-point shot, it means that the Heat will enter the fourth quarter with a 10-point disadvantage!

"From trailing by 13 points to leading by 10 points, the Pacers only had one quarter of the game! Coach Henson's substitution was a stroke of genius, as he seemed to be able to foresee the future and come up with a big and four small lineup in advance to contain the Heat. And LeBron, he has a tough opponent! ”

Accompanied by Kenny. Smith's commentary, the on-site photographer gave Leonard a close-up of his face.

In the third quarter of the game, Leonard entangled James with only 5 points, 1 of 8 shots! Once James can't open, the Heat will lose the ability to kill the game.

I believe that Popovich must be extremely distressed now, if it weren't for Henson's deception, this defensive monster should belong to San Antonio!

In the fourth quarter, the exhausted Heat seemed to be unable to make waves. James made a slight adjustment and increased the number of outside shots, but the shooting percentage was still not optimistic.

On the Pacers' side, Paul was in complete control of the game. Whether it's a quick counterattack or a positional offense, the Pacers play well.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Pacers went on a 9-2 run. George's three-pointer bottomed out, thanks in large part to Fraser's magical guidance.

With today's example, Henson is extremely convinced that Leonard and Jimmy. Butler's shooting, if you want to practice it, there must be no problem!

A shooting coach who treats shooting as a science and art has done more than Henson could have expected.

Although in the middle of the fourth game, James. Three three-pointers from Jones and Chalmers helped the Heat settle down a bit. But helplessly, their play came too late.

The Pacers then responded with a 7-0 run, completely ending the suspense of the game. In the final minute, the Heat trailed by 15 points. Spoelstra replaced all the main forces in advance and took the initiative to announce his surrender!

"It's over, it's over! Unbelievable reversal, haha, Coach Henson is still magical! ”

Kenny. Smith danced with excitement, not because he was on the Pacers' side, but because the game of the comeback was really exciting. And next to him, there was a dazed Barkley.

Sir "Flying Pig" was thinking about why it was so difficult to scream in front of Henson once.
