Pell really moved Abelbolin, who agreed to give some money to support the plan, including a cultural shirt and a burger set for each fan.

That night, the MCI Arena was packed, with more than 20,000 people crowding the entire stadium, and a large number of spectators watching the live broadcast on the big screen in the square outside the stadium. These Hu Qingniu also thought of it, and Unselde arranged special personnel to maintain the order of watching the game in the square.

In the pre-game interview, Reggie Miller still said stiffly: "We came here to beat the Wizards. ”

Needless to say, the Pacers and the Wizards are two teams, and even the fans are not dealing with each other. Although the Pacers themselves don't have so many fans, there are still quite a lot of them who can't cover Joehei. Not being envied is a mediocre talent, and the current state of the Wizards team is a big move.

Facing the Pacers again, Hu Qingniu didn't have the worries he had last time, except for the rebounding advantage, this time the Wizards' wing depth could completely ignore Atay's defensive gate. With more players playing from the perimeter and more players able to shoot, the Pacers' shrinkage tactics are less powerful.

The Pacers didn't know what was waiting for them, and by the time the Pacers bus arrived, the entire square was neatly filled with Wizards fans in blue cultural shirts. It was probably the most united Washingtonians ever had.

For Pacers fans, there may be a feeling of going deep into the enemy camp.

In a sea of blue, the Pacers in yellow jerseys fell like a grain of sand into this endless abyss.

Shivering!

Since Hu Qingniu still didn't invite Pei'er to dinner, Pei'er took advantage of his position to sit in the back row of the bench today.

"Coach Hu, do you say that our team really has so many fans," Pell was also shocked by the crowd of fans when she came today, and she had the impression that Washingtonians were very lazy.

As the administrative center, most of Washington's citizens are government workers, and they are usually busy with work, and they are also tainted with the essence of political party disputes, and everyone's life after work is lazy.

"Maybe it's all for Hamburg, whatever, it's our fans who come, and the more people there are, the more pressure on the Pacers."

The game started quickly, the game was broadcast live on the imperial court, and the Rockets' game was over. In the second round, the imperial court can only choose Hu Qingniu's wizards.

Sun Lili: "The game begins, and today we bring you the second round of the playoffs, which is played by the first-seeded Wizards in the East against the fourth-seeded Pacers. The starting line-ups for both sides are as follows. ”

"Wizards, Patrick Ewing, Dennis Rodman, Grant Hill, Michael Jordan, Anthony Hardaway."

"Pacers, Brand Miller, Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest, Reggie Miller, Jamal Tinsley."

"Mr. Zhang, have you noticed, Rodman replaced Barkley into the starting lineup in this game, can you give you an analysis and analysis, what are the considerations that made Coach Hu Qingniu adopt such a starting lineup."

Zhang reasonable: "I think Coach Hu Qingniu's tactics are very reasonable. From the last round of the series, we can see that the pillar of the Pacers and the cornerstone of a team is actually O'Neal Jr. ”

"Why O'Neill Jr.? Didn't we all say before that the soul of the Pacers was the great Reggie Miller. Yes, O'Neal Jr. is the offensive core of the current Pacers team, and it is also the interior core. Whether it's scoring, rebounding, or interior defense, you can't get around him. O'Neal Jr. is currently the player with the biggest role and the most responsibility for the Pacers, so we say this, O'Neal Jr. is the pillar of the Pacers. Reggie Miller is completely old, and the years are not forgiving, and Miller only scored 9 points in the last round. ”

"Therefore, this small change in the starting lineup of Coach Hu Qingniu actually plays a role. Rodman's defensive skills are obvious to all, and using Rodman to block the gun hole of O'Neal Jr., this is the reason why the thief captures the king first. If I'm not mistaken, there was a game this season where Rodman was very successful in defending O'Neal Jr., and after the game, the Pacers lost, and O'Neal Jr. was on his back, and everyone said he was soft. ”

Sun Lili: "That's right, there is such a one. Since Coach Hu Qingniu's arrangement is very reasonable, then Mr. Zhang, guess what special tactics Coach Hu Qingniu will use this time? ”

Zhang Lili: "As we all know, the playoffs are a seven-game system, and every game is about catching the weaknesses of the opposite side. According to this reasoning, the most reasonable tactical arrangement of Coach Hu Qingniu should be based on the biggest weakness of the Pacers. ”

"What is the weakness of the Pacers? There are two, the first is the back line, and we just talked about Reggie Miller, a 38-year-old player in his 15th career. This is a standard veteran. How many percent of Miller's strength is left, anyway, from the last round, it is estimated that there are no five CDs, at most three percent. ”

"The shooting guard is aging, so let's look at his partner point guard, Jamal Tinsley is a name that fans who don't see the Pacers very well may not be familiar with him. He was the 27th pick in the first round of the '01-02 season, drafted by the Grizzlies and later traded to the Pacers. ”

"I have been a starting point guard for the past two seasons, and I was born as a street player, and my advantages are good ball control and good organizational skills, but my disadvantages are the common problems of street players, poor shooting, poor sense of defensive position, and may often leak people."

"Since the Pacers' guard line is two colanders, let's say so, Miller fans don't get angry, be realistic now. Then Coach Hu Qingniu's best strategy is to play high guard like in the previous round, Penny and Jordan, both offensive and defensive are one size bigger, and the Pacers are very passive, and it will be difficult to play the ball. Atai's dribbling is only half a bucket of water, and he can't take on the task of organizing the attack. ”

"The second weakness of the Pacers is the bench, and let's take a look at the Pacers' bench lineup, whether it's the aging Ron Mosell, or a small player like Jonathan Bender, it can't do much in a game like this. On the other hand, looking at how strong the Wizards' bench is, I believe there is no need to introduce it, everyone can say this better than me. ”

Therefore, the most reasonable way for Coach Hu Qingniu to play is to pinch the back line, and the starting lineup can not be in a hurry, and the important thing is to defend the opponent. Then pull points when the bench comes on. ”

I have to say that as an old-timer, Mr. Zhang Lili's analysis is still in place, and he basically thought of it with Hu Qingniu.

The situation on the court was also the same as Zhang reasonably predicted, Hu Qingniu sent Jordan and pennies, but he was not in a hurry to attack, and he was stuck with the problem that the Pacers had few dribbles on the court and were either old or weak. The Pacers' offensive tempo in the first quarter was completely unconnected, and the interior rarely received the ball.

And in the second quarter, the Wizards, who were replaced by the bench, launched a wave of onslaught led by Barkley, and the Pacers fell behind by 20 points in less than halftime and were close to collapse.
