Nick. Nurse didn't think Henson had the guts to let the others take on the burden of killing the game, and that Henson had just caught Nick. This psychology of Nas.

Why can't Lopez kill the game? Did he kill fewer games when he was with the Nets before? It's just that after arriving at the Pacers, the data has declined due to the change in player roles and positioning, so do you have to despise this guy?

The game restarted, and both coaches felt like they had the chance to win. Henson stood solemnly on the sidelines, and at this time I don't know how many people believed that the Raptors could pull off a miracle moment.

But a lot of people forget that Henson. Joe has lost less than 10 games since the regular season...... There is no manager in the league who knows how to win better than him.

For the first attack after the timeout, Antetokounmpo directly held the ball himself. Antetokounmpo actually played very well today, and even the Raptors' defense couldn't stop him from scoring. But it was always the final quarter, and Antetokounmpo couldn't have forced a score every time by rampage.

After possession of the ball past halftime, Antetokounmpo glanced at Lopez. Lopez nodded slightly, and then the block was lifted!

"A cover, Antetokounmpo is going to break through. It seems that during the timeout just now, Coach Henson asked Antetokounmpo and George to continue to attack decisively? ”

Antetokounmpo took cover and strode into the box with determination, while Ibaka and Gasol Jr. both contracted. Brooke. Lopez? Let him go!

Antetokounmpo did make a pass between the two longs, but it wasn't Lopez, it was George.

This was deliberately arranged by Henson, who deliberately allowed the players to pass the ball an extra hand. In order to cover up their own purposes, not to expose their tactics so thoroughly.

As soon as George received the ball, his former good brother Leonard immediately pressed closely. George vs. Leonard, many years ago, people would never have imagined that this would be the focus of the playoffs.

After all, at that time, George was just a rookie who wasn't too high-picked, and Leonard was also considered difficult to develop.

But Henson was stunned to let them all grow into league superstars, which is really rare.

George held the basketball high, pretending to be confused, and handed the ball to Lopez.

Lopez is still one step away from the three-point line, and it looks like he's not an offensive point, but just a mid-point point. As a result, Gasol Jr. didn't pounce right away, and Lopez was almost completely empty.

But Lopez didn't hesitate at all, and started shooting directly! With one step away from the three-point line, start shooting.

"Well done." Nick. Nurse smiled, and in his opinion, Lopez's shot was a waste of opportunity. There's no way this guy can shoot this kind of long-range three-pointer, he thinks he's Stephen. Curry?

However, in the next second, Nas saw the basketball pass through the net, and he didn't even touch the basket, which was a hollow ball!

"From Paul. George's assist, well done. Brooke. Lopez had a good hand today, and it was his 19th point of the game. How long has it been since we've seen Lopez score 20 points? Let's look forward to it today. ”

At this point, the Raptors trailed the Pacers by nine points. But neither Nurse nor the commentators believe the Pacers have achieved a huge advantage. With Kenny. Smith's words were: "George and Antetokounmpo still didn't get a chance to score, and if they can't score, how can the Pacers win the game?" Lopez? He's a great role player, but he's just a role player. ”

At this time, this "role player" secretly encouraged himself, no matter how much annual salary he gets a year, he will do his best for his team!

In Henson's final season, Lopez didn't want to disgrace Henson because of himself.

Switching to the Raptors' offense, VanVleet was entangled by Brogdon this time. "Van Jordan" had already scored a lot of points today, and Brogdon didn't want to be a springboard for this guy to be famous.

On the other hand, Oladipo is also eyeing VanVleet. The reason is simple, Kyle. Lowry didn't do well today, and Oladipo can rest assured that he can make up for Fleet.

VanVleet clearly sensed the malice from Brogdon and Oladipo, so he passed the ball to Leonard, hoping that the No.2 would solve the problem.

Solving the game with stars is what Nick is all about. Nass thinks it's the right way.

Leonard is a far cry from his time with the Pacers, when he, like George, evolved into an all-around attacker. From shooting to breaking through with the ball, Leonard can do it all.

This time, Leonard used a beautiful early change of direction to overload Antetokounmpo. His swinging rhythm and change of direction make him look like a defender.

Antetokounmpo's focus did change because of Leonard, but due to good physical fitness, he still stuck to it. It's a pity that even so, Antetokounmpo was overtaken by half a position.

"Leonard's breakthrough was very beautiful, and this time the score was done!" On the commentary stage, Kenny. Smith was ready to cheer for Leonard's goal.

But on the sidelines, Henson smiled. People only saw Leonard successfully break through, but he saw that Lopez had quietly made up for it. If Lopez's performance today can be sustained until the end, then Henson's badge can be kept until the finals.

Leonard broke through, layups, and frames, all in one go. But unlike ever, Brooke. Lopez's big hand suddenly appeared in front of Leonard.

"Huh?"

Leonard's "facial paralysis" face even flashed a look of surprise, and the next second, Lopez rushed in and forced Leonard to hold down the basketball he was lifting.

Antetokounmpo had a quick eye and grabbed the basketball that was flapped out of the way by Lopez with his big hand. After following up on a three-pointer, Lopez helped the Pacers stabilize the situation with another block.

Nick. Nas was shocked, when Leonard passed Antetokounmpo, Lopez was able to rush over to complete the defense. It was the same with the offense just now, when George and Antetokounmpo were both killed, Lopez was able to hit a long-range three-pointer.

Is it true that role players can't kill games? Nick. Nas found himself a little faltered in his resolve.

Antetokounmpo received a blocked basketball and drove straight into the ball, defending and counterattacking, which is his favorite way to attack. Ibaka and Gasol Jr. were able to block Antetokounmpo in positional battles, but they couldn't follow Antetokounmpo in the transition attack.

If Ibaka had been five years younger, he might have been able to run, but unfortunately, time would never have returned.

"Bang!"

With a two-handed dunk, Antetokounmpo widened the gap back to double digits. Although it was Antetokounmpo who scored the goal, the camera of the photographer on the scene captured Lopez.

With a three-pointer and a block, Lopez has completed two key offenses and defenses since that timeout from Henson. Everyone couldn't help but put a question mark in their hearts, Brooke. Was Lopez Henson's last weapon?

Nick. Nas still can't believe that he hasn't changed his strategy, and he doesn't want to free George and Antetokounmpo because of one Lopez.

In the next offense, the Raptors relied on Ibaka's steady mid-range shot to get two points back, but the situation was still dangerous for them.

Sure enough, after the Raptors turned the score into single digits, the score was pulled away again. It was none other than Lopez who pulled the score away!

George's long-range shot slammed into the front of the basket and Leonard was very pressing on his defense. Right here at Nick. While Nurse was ready to cheer on a successful defense, Lopez made a handsome layup.

Nass's expression froze instantly, and little Gasol looked around in confusion. He was slacking off just now, and he didn't expect Lopez to rush in and scramble for an offensive rebound. But in the Eastern Conference Finals, these chances can be a big mistake.

Lopez's rebound allowed him to score his 21st point of the game. At the same time, the difference was widened to 11 points again.

"It's Brooke again. Lopez, he seems to be back at the top! ”

Henson if he hears Kenny. Smith's commentary, he certainly won't agree. Brooke. Lopez is not back at the top, his peak has never died. It's just that he sacrificed his stats and pinnacle for the sake of the Pacers.

As a role player, Lopez has to sacrifice his stats and value. But when you need him to step up, he's obligated to do it.

Nick. Nas looked at Lopez and then at Henson, who was standing on the sidelines with his hands on his chest. He knew he couldn't be led by the nose by Henson. If Gasol Jr. is allowed to defend Lopez with all his might, Antetokounmpo will be completely liberated.

Once Antetokounmpo is liberated, no one will be able to stop the Pacers from winning.

So, Nick. Nas gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, choosing to continue with his original strategy!

Can Lopez kill the game? Nas chose not to believe it.

Before he knew it, Henson was putting his favorite choice in front of his opponent again.

Brooke. Lopez and Janis. Antetokounmpo, two bottles of poison, it's up to you how you choose to die.
