In the second half, the Pacers' first offense ended with a goal, of course, this offense had nothing to do with the Pacers' tactics and lineup, it was all Paul who used his personal ability to shake off Collison and throw it away.

So although the Pacers scored in the second half, people still didn't see what the team was trying to do.

"I don't know...... But, Yi Jianlian? They used Yi Jianlian to play the No. 5 position, is this serious? Yi Jianlian's rim protection ability is not as good as West, Horford and Anderson, and even if the Pacers need three-point ability and space, they can continue to use Horford. "Reggie. Miller looked at Stevens, and then at the strange lineup on the court, was this substitution Henson's decision, or was there a miscommunication between the two sides?

Yi Jianlian's ability to protect the frame is insufficient, to be precise, Yi Jianlian and Leonard partner on the inside, and they have no advantage in protecting the frame!

So Carlisle's strategy at this time is also very clear, to hit Nowitzki's point!

Nowitzki is 2.13 meters tall, and Leonard will be 2 meters tall. Carlisle believes that even if the guy is tall and has long arms, it is impossible to interfere with Dirk's shooting! This lineup of the Pacers is no different from giving up defense!

Nowitzki was also very active this time around, sitting in the low post and raising his long arm to Collison for the ball. Yi Jianlian didn't wrap up in advance, Leonard didn't go around the front, and the Pacers seemed to give up resistance.

Collison hoisted the ball in, and the reason why he chose to hob the pass was to avoid Leonard reaching for a steal. Nowitzki caught the basketball steadily, and he was full of confidence!

In the 2011 Finals, Nowitzki destroyed the Miami Heat with such a low-post attack. As if today, the Mavericks are going to destroy another Eastern powerhouse in the same way!

Dirk took a few steps back, still without a clip! Vogel gritted his teeth off the court, and he seemed to be more nervous than Leonard on the field.

Dirk. The Silver Horn King. Nowitzki suddenly turned over after seeing that the distance was about to be reached, and he raised the basketball to shoot! However, the moment Dirk turned around, Leonard's long arm stabbed forward and stabbed the basketball away!

"Nice defense! Leonard didn't give Dirk a chance to shoot at all! He's such an out-and-out ball thief, and every steal from Leonard is fast and accurate! ”

In Reggie. Under Miller's exclamation, George, who was engrossed, picked up the basketball on the ground. If the Mavericks make a mistake, they just have the ability to turn the sky upside down, and it is impossible to stop the Pacers from playing a quick counterattack!

The Pacers now have a smaller lineup and can run more than they did in the first half. Four perimeter players raced forward and George made a clever pass to Paul, who broke through to draw the defense and flicked the ball into the bottom right corner. There, Ray. Aaron is already in place!

"Three-point shot in a quick offense...... Hit! Thunder. Allen, his crosshair wasn't left behind in Boston! This season, he is undoubtedly the most reliable three-point shooter on the Pacers' lineup! ”

See Ray. Allen threw the basketball into the frame with precision, and Carlisle felt a little tingling in his scalp. Such an offensive rhythm and offensive space are really exaggerated!

Subsequently, O.J. Mayo and Collison tried to break through the inside line to score points, and Yi Jianlian seemed to them as if he were a fragrant cake. But Paul and George didn't give these two guys a chance, so why did Henson send all the perimeter players who could defend it? It is to prevent the Mavericks from rushing to the inside line and reduce the pressure on Yi Jianlian and Leonard's frame!

The Mavericks' offense was deadlocked under the Pacers' tough defense, and in the end, Collison chose a simple and crude method - directly hoisted the ball to his own center!

So, after Dirk singled Leonard, Mavericks center Chris. Carman got another chance to play Yi Jianlian in singles.

Chris. Kaman, Dirk's national team teammate as a member of the 03 Super Platinum Generation, reached the pinnacle of his career in the 09-10 season. Carman's 18.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game that season made him an All-Star.

People thought that Kaman was about to rise, but in the 10-11 season, Kaman suffered a serious injury and played only 32 games. And after this major injury, Carman's strength plummeted. At the Hornets last season, Carman's stats shrunk to 13.1 points and 7.7 rebounds.

This season, Kaman's stats have continued to shrink. He can still contribute on the defensive end with his experience, tonnage and height, but on the offensive end, he has long since lost the 18.5 points per game that he once averaged. What's more, Carman is not a very aggressive center on the offensive end, which can be seen from his free throw count.

Therefore, when Yi Jianlian raised his arms high, Kaman did not rely on his body to push in, but directly hooked his hand when there was a Yi Jianlian between him and the basket!

Carman has never been a solid scorer, and the results are known, the basketball stumbled out of the frame, and the Mavericks did not take advantage of Yi Jianlian's "cake"!

Yi Jianlian immediately turned around and picked up the rebound, and then handed the ball to Paul. In an instant, the Indianapolis "Pars" were running wild on the field again!

The Mavericks retreated quickly and continued to form a solid defensive formation. Paul quickly gave the ball to George, who in turn flicked it to Ray. Alan. This time Ray. Allen didn't get a chance because he was still in the Mavericks' defensive zone.

Meanwhile, Dirk and Karman are already in place. Seeing this, Ray. Allen jumped up directly and passed the ball and sent the ball to Yi Jianlian, who had just arrived from the backcourt!

Yi Jianlian is at the right 45° position outside the three-point line at this time, and the Mavericks are responsible for defending this area is Marion!

Marion didn't think about it and immediately pounced. Yi Jianlian is treated as a "cake" on the defensive end, but no one thinks this Chinese player is easy to bully on the offensive end.

Yi Jianlian did not force a shot, but sent the ball to Leonard very calmly. At this point, the Mavericks' combined defense is actually ineffective. After stabilizing the formation, they also gradually turned their defense into man-to-man defense. In this way, the person who defended Yi Jianlian became Marion. And the sluggish Chris. Carman, on the other hand, switched to Leonard.

Leonard didn't even ask for cover, and went straight to the side of Carman, who was inflexible in his knee, with a single acceleration. After passing through Carman, the Mavericks' restricted area can be described as a wide open door!

Dirk? Dirk at this time has been Ray. Aaron crucified in the bottom corner!

"Oh, no......" Carlisle held his forehead, and then there was a loud bang on the court, and Leonard scored with both hands!

"Beautiful offense, although this offense is not strictly a counterattack, but it also made the Mavericks' defense torn apart! I have to admit that this lineup completely revitalizes the Pacers' offense! ”

Henson sat in the dressing room and crossed his legs proudly, playing a small lineup is indeed a risky move, but it is also very rewarding!

Subsequently, seeing that the Mavericks had not been able to score, "Mayo God" began to have convulsions. He found his rhythm with a dizzying maneuver, then suddenly accelerated to a breakaway and made a mid-range pull-up jumper.

But Paul. George was very "puzzled", he was not deceived by Mayo, but reached out and jumped and blocked Mayo's shot.

It's really a fierce operation, and it looks like a ......

is blocked, which means there is a counterattack! Carlisle's heart began to beat faster, how could the situation completely turn around after a half-time break?

This time, it was Paul who scored the goal. George. Paul deceived everyone with a beautiful back pass, and the Mavericks thought his pass was aimed at Ray who was ambushed outside the three-point line. Allen, but as everyone knows, the basketball jumped into the hands of George, who followed up at high speed.

George didn't give up the opportunity to make a big show, and with a one-handed dunk, the Mavericks' defense looked as fragile as a tofu block.

Not long after the start of the second half, the Mavericks' hard-earned seven-point difference disappeared. The Pacers' fast-play whirlwind swept the bankers' living arena again, and Henson disrupted his opponent's strategy with another perverse substitution.

Carlisle hastily called off the game and didn't let the Pacers' momentum continue. At the same time, Stevens hurriedly looked at the small note in his hand.

Who's going to play next?
