Pacers offense, Chris. Paul deliberately sent the ball to George. Belinelli's defense was a bit hasty, and George would have been able to make a kill or score directly if he had broken through decisively according to Henson's arrangement.

But at this time, George was a little hesitant. His mind is not how to score, but what to do if he can't score. And the most taboo thing about offense is hesitation. Indecision can disrupt the rhythm of the offense and can also disrupt your feel.

George's hesitant catch-and-shoot didn't lead to a goal, and the fans in the stands at the Bankers Living Arena shook their heads and sighed. Since scoring just nine points on 30 percent shooting in the last game, George doesn't seem to be coming to his senses.

"Well done, stabilize the situation for me, and continue to defend like this!" How disappointed Pacers fans are, Tom. Thibodeau was so happy at this time.

A team's top scorer doesn't help that team's offense, and it's fatal for any team, even if the team has only just won 72 games.

On the next Bulls offense, Noah didn't score on the head of Horford, who entered the league in the same year as him. Just because George isn't in shape doesn't mean everyone on the Pacers team is in bad shape. Horford followed Henson's set-up, and his rough close-quartering markers were already very close to a foul, much to Noah's discomfort.

But Noah can't do anything about it, as long as the referee doesn't blow it, it's not a foul! This is the playoffs, and it's not that simple to get fouls in the playoffs.

Noah wasn't a very technical interior player, and his value was in his defense, rebounding ability, and playmaking, not his scoring. So as long as you get tough and don't let Noah get close to the basket, Noah's offensive threat will plummet.

The two teams still didn't score, but the Bulls stepped back quickly and didn't allow Horford to take advantage of the long ball in the backcourt to counterattack. Paul had to continue to push slowly, looking for a gap in the Bulls' impregnable defense.

This time, Paul took matters into his own hands. He borrowed West's cover to get into the box, but the Bulls' defense contracted decisively. Almost as soon as Paul stepped into the three-second zone, he was surrounded by players in red jerseys.

In desperation, Paul only scored the ball into George's hands. George didn't shoot this time, but chose to break through! I don't know Nate. Robinson suddenly reached out from the side and broke George's dribble!

"A mistake, Paul. George was stealed, Nate. Robinson is fast with the ball! Nice one-handed split! Nate. Robinson! Again, once again, he is free from the shackles of gravity! ”

Looking at Van Gundy, who was dancing excitedly beside him, Reggie. Miller shook his head helplessly.

Come back to your senses, stinky boy!

"Damn it!" Watching Nate dunk successfully, Henson yelled. Being given this easy scoring opportunity by the opponent is the most unacceptable to Henson.

George gave Henson a pitiful look, knowing that the manager was angry right now, but still afraid of failure.

This bad state is stuck in a vicious circle, and the more he is afraid of failure, the more likely he is to fail.

The next defence came and George knew he had to pick himself up. This time, however, it was a little irrational.

The Italian Belinelli's breakthrough was not very fast, and as long as George kept close to the opponent and pressed him towards Horford, he could successfully defend it.

But while the opponent was marching, George was very uncalm and prepared to steal. As a result, the cunning Italian suddenly jumped out of his hand the moment George attacked.

So, it became a shooting foul. Belinelli will step up to the free-throw line and laugh at George's "big gift".

"Needless foul, God, Paul. George's performance today was a disaster. Throughout the Eastern Conference semifinals, George seemed to be lost. Reggie, what do you think is the problem? ”

"The problem is that he is only 23 years and 6 days old." Miller said helplessly.

George naturally didn't know about Jeff. Van Gundy and Reggie. Miller was talking about himself, but he was well aware that he had messed up the game again today.

Belinelli is on the free-throw line, and as a soft-touch shooter, the Italian has shot 84 per cent from the field this season. This time, he didn't miss either, and the first free throw was secure.

"Come here, George, come here!" Just then, Paul walked up to George and beckoned to him.

George obediently came to Paul's lips, knowing that Big Brother had something to say to him.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Paul whispered in George's ear.

"I'm sorry"

"Excuse me? I don't need to hear sorry, I don't need to hear sorry, and neither do the fans! What you have to do is not to say sorry, but to learn this lesson! I'll pass the ball to you next time, don't look unprepared. ”

"But"

"Remember, George, when you have the ball, don't show it even if you don't know what to do. Put away that confused look, no one here will be able to fool you! You've got to look confident, you've got to look confident and calm, you've got to make those bastards think you've got a lot of ways to handle the ball, and you've got to make your opponents suspicious! If you think to yourself, 'I don't know what to do,' then you really don't know what to do." But if you keep your cool and watch your opponent, you know what to do. Calm down! Forget about those failures, all you have to do is kick them in the ass now! If you've been dwelling on failure, congratulations, you'll always be a loser! ”

After Paul finished speaking, the referee came over to urge Paul to return to his designated position, and Belinelli was about to score the second penalty.

With a slap on George's butt, Paul leaves. Sure enough, only what is said without embellishment in the game is the most true. Paul has done what he can, and it's up to George to absorb it.

George, on the other hand, stood still, staring at the basket as if he was thinking about something.

"If you've been dwelling on failure, congratulations, you'll always be a loser!"

This phrase kept repeating in George's mind, loser? No. My goal is to become one of the greatest stars in the history of the Pacers!

"Brush!"

The sound of the Nets tumbling pulled George out of his thoughts. Belinelli hit a second free throw to give the Chicago Bulls a 4-0 lead. And it is very unfortunate that the Bulls' 4 points are all related to George, and he has to bear the greatest responsibility.

"What did Chris tell him? You made Chris talk to him? Vogel looked at Henson curiously, and this time, Henson just shook his head.

"I swear, Frank. This time, I really didn't know anything. Henson smiled as the Pacers went on the offensive again.

What will you do this time? Paul. George!

"Young...... Still too young. Watching the Bulls turn the score to 4-0, Van Gundy sighed, "Actually, George doesn't have to break that ball, he just needs to stay next to the Italian and force him to hit Horford, and the Bulls won't have this opportunity...... Is...... Alas! George's form in the Eastern Conference semifinals is worrying. ”

Due to the consecutive goals in the previous two rounds, the morale of the Bulls' side has improved a lot. Their tough defence was on display again, with Belinelli always on the lookout for George. In his opinion, the young man had lost his combat effectiveness. The Italian has also focused his defence on supplements.

Paul broke through Nate with a nice change of direction, but before he could pick up the pace, Belinelli was delayed.

Seeing this, Paul smiled and sent the opportunity to George with a hidden behind-the-back pass.

"Or George, what would he do!?" Van Gundy clenched his fists and had to say that Thibodeau and Belinelli were really thieves. Isn't George in bad shape? Then induce George to catch the ball more!

But is it really a smart move to let go of a team's top scorer?

The moment he received the ball, George remembered the conversation Paul had just had with him. He is no longer confused, no longer hesitant. Instead, according to Henson's plan, hold the ball and kill inside!

Noah obviously didn't expect George to give up an almost empty opportunity and instead shoot and go inside. So in terms of supplemental defense, I hesitated for a while.

When Noah rushed back to the basket and was still unstable, the center with messy hair found a black shadow suddenly rising!

"Paul. George, he's going to do it."

"Bang!" Before Van Gundy could finish speaking, the basket made a loud bang! I saw George hanging his hands on the basket, and the defensive titan Joaquin. Noah, on the other hand, was knocked to the ground in embarrassment!

"It's a" Reggie. Miller's eyes widened, he swallowed his saliva, and his throat didn't make a sound for a while, "This is a person who is shutting down, a person is shutting down!" Hahaha, Paul. George, his decisive attack broke all doubts! He used his own strength to rudely break down the Bulls' impregnable defense! ”

Henson kept swinging his fists on the sidelines, showing off his might in front of Thibodeau!

"What a fucking bastard!" Thibodeau was so angry that he crossed his hands on his hips, who would have thought that George would actually score the first point of the game for the Pacers in such a way.

George couldn't contain his excitement after completing the slam dunk, and he turned and rushed to Paul and touched his head. In American culture, there's nothing disrespectful about players touching each other's heads. On the contrary, it is one of their most intimate actions.

"Thank you, Chris! Thank you! ”

"Don't be complacent, boy! Keep it up and show those guys how you became the top scorer! Hurry back, hurry! ”

The originally lifeless banker's life arena was ignited by George's decisive breakthrough and tough slam dunk.

There are some things that are not suitable for the coach to say, and some things that are not suitable for the start of the game. Henson had always believed that some things could only be solved in the game, and as it turned out, he was right again.

"Next, Frank, Brad," Henson said, turning his head to his two assistants, "it's time to give Thibodeau some return gifts!" ”
