070: An obscure nuisance

'For both teams, they will definitely be very keen to do everything they can to avoid two defeats in a row. The Pacers are in the limelight right now, and the Miami Heat are trying to seize every opportunity to get on track. Dwayne today. Wade's return is to make the Heat's record better. So, although this is just an ordinary regular season game, the two sides will definitely play an extraordinary game. ”

When both starters stepped onto the pitch, Kevin Brown. Harlan's voice immediately appeared in front of the fans' televisions. Harlan took a closer look, only to find that there seemed to be an "outlier" in the Pacers' lineup.

"Danny. Green, we haven't gotten any news about Danny. Green will start! Did you see Kenny, Coach Henson changed his starting lineup again. In the No. 3 position, this is the third time that Henson has changed his starting line-up. Mike. Although Dunleavy has not played a miracle of three-pointers in a single quarter, he has been playing steadily. I don't know if Dunleavy is injured, after all, Dunleavy wasn't absent when he just warmed up. But other than injuries, I can't see any reason for Coach Henson to change his starters. ”

Kevin. Harlan just thought it was strange, but didn't question it. Henson's approach to employing people is indeed very strange, but he has also proved his employment strategy more than once correct.

After the game began, the Pacers had a rare chance of attacking the ball first. Although the legendary center of the Heat team Lithuania "Big Z" Ilgoskas is 2.21 meters tall, which is taller than Hibbert, he has experienced injuries and years of devastation, and now he is not able to jump much. Horford made up for the huge height disadvantage with his bounce and gave the Pacers the first shot.

The Heat's retreat was very quick, and it seems that Filipino Spoelstra is not like Pat. Riley despises the Pacers like that. At least defensively, he did some preparation.

People say that Spoelstra is nothing more than Pat. Riley's puppet, who is really directing the Heat's tactics, is Riley, the general manager. But now it seems that this statement is self-defeating.

Spoelstra wants to force the Pacers to slow down and force Henson's team into a positional battle. But let's not forget that even the Spurs, who have a strong command of the tempo, couldn't do that in the first place.

After Horford stood outside the three-point line, the 2.21-meter Ilgoskas instantly lost control of the restricted area. Without such a high-point containment, the Heat's interior looks extremely empty.

Holiday borrowed a cover and passed the ball to Daniel. Granger, Granger received the ball, and Bosh, who was chasing Granger, began to slow down, and it looked as if he had given up on defense.

However, just as Granger was about to dunk the ball into the basket, LeBron . James rushed through the diagonal spur and made a tough blow before Granger dunked the ball in!

"Block dunk, LeBron. James! The Heat are different from other teams, just pulling their center out doesn't mean they can do whatever they want in the Heat's three-second zone! Because in Miami, there is a James who can do anything! ”

James' bold elicited an exclamation from the American Airlines Center, and Henson shook his head helplessly. Granger was right on that shot, and it was an opportunity. It's just that a player of LeBron's level has this ability to turn decay into magic.

The basketball hit the rebound hard and then bounced back vigorously. Wade, who came back from the line of fire, received the basketball and immediately pushed forward.

To Spoelstra's surprise, Matthews and the little-known Danny. Green had retreated to his own half by this time. He didn't know when those two guys had fallen back, and the Pacers' defense didn't have the slightest slackness that the average young team is used to.

James immediately sprinted to the front court after completing the block, and immediately hit the fast break after the block, this kind of thing is not difficult for LeBron. Like Henson said, when you have a player like James, the coach has a lot less to worry about. Spoelstra kid, what a lucky one.

Wade just crossed the halfway line and passed the ball to James, who cut in from the middle, and James continued to attack the basket with the ball. The Heat's transition offense was fast, so the Pacers only had Danny in the three-second zone at this point. Green is alone, and LeBron, who has already rushed to speed, is obviously not a Danny. Green was able to stop it.

Watching LeBron's "heavy tank" rush towards him, Green took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on the basketball in James' hand.

In the blink of an eye, James had already stepped into the three-second zone and was preparing to take three violent steps. Fans at the American Airlines Center were already standing up with their arms held high, ready to cheer for James' slam dunk.

"One step, two steps, it's now!" At the moment when James jumped up, Green suddenly cut towards the basketball in James's hand! Before James could lift the ball, he lost control of the basketball!

"The basketball is out of hand, it's incredible! Danny. Green defended very beautifully, and he single-handedly destroyed the fast break that the Heat were aiming for! Oh God, this guy stopped the King of Miami from attacking! Kevin. Harlan jumped up from the commentary seat, this steal was naturally not as hot as James's blocked dunk just now, but Harlan was able to get goosebumps!

Matthews picked up the out-of-control basketball, and the backcourt captain teleported it to Holiday in his hands. Holiday received the ball and dipped a shot from outside the three-point line, picked Wade up, and then broke through and hit a mid-range shot for a perfect counterattack!

"Wonderful! The Pacers' transition offense was so fast, almost in the middle of a flash! Kevin. Harlan couldn't help but want to applaud the wonderful scene just now, from the cut ball to the counter-attacking goal, the Pacers took less than five seconds! James was still complaining to the referee about Green's hitter, but Holiday had already scored.

One transition attack after another, and the game ignited everyone's blood from the start.

"Damn it!" James shook his arm unwillingly, he didn't even know who the guy who was just in front of him was, and he was robbed by the other party like this.

"Danny. Green made a contribution as soon as he came up, and when he saw Kenny, Coach Henson's every adjustment to the lineup was very targeted! ”

Henson applauded Green with satisfaction, this guy may not be a superstar, but he will prove to the league that superstars are not the only ones who can survive in the NBA!

In the blink of an eye, the Heat team has attacked with great momentum. LeBron. James's eyes looked extremely vicious, and if it were another rookie, he would probably feel scared unconsciously.

Henson opened his left hand off the court, clenched his right hand into a fist, and then hit his left hand hard. This is his code to Matthews and Green, signaling them to directly apply strength to James!

James received a pass from Wade on the right side of the three-point line, and after receiving the ball, LeBron did not make any feints, and directly started to prepare to run into the restricted area. This seemingly unreasonable style of play is a typical LeBron-style offense.

If only there was one Danny. Green, then James must have made it in. But he's only been starting two steps, Wesley. Matthews made up for it. Two of the best wing defenders in the Development League last season blocked James' path at the same time, with Matthews and Green both being extremely tough, and James passed the ball to Wade who was about to be forced to stop.

Henson was nervous, and if there was one factor in this game that was hard to pin out, it was Wade's form. He didn't know how much Wade, who had not yet recovered, could play at a certain level, and if Wade's play was not affected at all, the Pacers' strategy of pinching James would undoubtedly be difficult to implement.

Wade held the ball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, but he knew his long-range shot wasn't as good, so he took two steps inside before making a quick stop.

However, the moment Wade shot, Henson found that the "Flash" was very awkward. His injured left wrist couldn't even help aiming.

Sure enough, in the next second, the basketball smashed on the left side of the basket, which was ridiculously crooked, and Wade missed!

"It seems that Dwayne's injury is worse than people think." Henson's hanging heart is realized, and Wade is still a little too hasty to come back after only one rest.

Horford picked up the defensive rebound in front of the "big Z" who couldn't jump, and no matter how fast the Heat's defense was, it couldn't be faster than the Pacers' offense. After all, the current lineup of the Heat team is not known for running.

Holiday rode across the midcourt and quickly to the basket. The Pacers' offense is just that, giving the opponent no respite.

James was close behind, and he wouldn't mind getting another block done.

It's clear that Holiday has caught a lot of attention with his scoring prowess. It is unrealistic for a point guard who is not an offensive threat to rely purely on passing to lead the offense, after all, basketball is not football, and a point guard is not a quarterback who only needs to pass the ball. As a result, Henson never restrained Holiday in order to allow him to be an offensive threat.

As long as Holiday can draw the defense, the opportunities for others will naturally come out.

Holiday made a layup, but passed the ball behind him before he jumped! Danny. Green catches up and pulls up for a three-pointer!

With 1,000 shots a day, 500 in the morning and 500 in the afternoon, Green never stopped. The basketball hollowed into the net, causing everyone to look at the unnamed guy in amazement. Being able to cut James' fast break and chase down three-pointers, everyone wondered where Henson got so many of these players.

Henson was not surprised by Green's performance, everything Green has done now is the result of his sweat off the court a thousand times.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. Henson has studied the Heat's recent situation very well, including Wade's injury and James' style of play. And the Heat's information about the Pacers may already need to be updated.

There is no doubt that they are interested in Danny. What Green could do, he had no idea.
