Zhang Xiaotian was not disturbed by the Pacers' cover, he always had only Paul George in his eyes, and when the referee's whistle sounded, he directly blocked the line that Paul George rushed out.

He had studied the tactics of receiving the ball, and from his position he could tell that Paul George was going to get close to the ball, and he proved to be right.

It's okay to be wrong, it's David West on the other side, and he and James are both staring.

Bosh also stretched out his long arms and blocked Hibbert with all his might.

Now Hibbert's physical strength is already very problematic, and the inside line is a bit unsafe.

David West made the safest choice and sent the second point, George Hill.

But while the ball was still in the air, James squeezed straight through.

The distance between the two sides is too close, there is time to serve, and the opponent has no choice.

George Hill was knocked to the ground by James, and the referee didn't blow the whistle at this point.

Zhang Xiaotian dutifully blocked in front of Paul George to prevent the opponent's pass.

But obviously it wasn't needed, and was hit by James, George Hill didn't catch the ball steadily, and was directly cut off by James, and it was too late for the Pacers players to react.

It's just that James was not in stable shape after breaking the ball, he staggered and picked up the ball and had no time, and he barely missed the shot in front of the chasing Stephenson, and the two sides entered overtime.

The two sides have fought so hard that extra time has exceeded the limits of some players.

But on the field, the one who can stand to the end is the king.

Jumping in overtime, Bosh actually won.

Although the real giant has committed five fouls, only got 2 rebounds, and has not yet scored a double-double, he is strong at this time, and he still has combat effectiveness.

Wade got the ball and passed it to James, but Zhang Xiaotian suddenly accelerated and rushed to the opponent's basket from the side.

James saw that he immediately stuffed the ball, Paul George came to block it, and Zhang Xiaotian threw himself directly.

The referee's whistle blew and Paul George committed six fouls.

The Pacers collapsed, and Vogel protested loudly on the sidelines.

But it didn't work, the ball was indeed a foul, Zhang Xiaotian was too fast at this time, Paul George reacted a little slower, and he had no way to foul him in order to try his best.

When he stopped Zhang Xiaotian from going directly to the basket, he didn't expect that he had committed five fouls, which was completely a subconscious action.

It was a big blow to the Pacers, who also had one less ball point.

Next, the Pacers Stephenson's single was interfered with by Zhang Xiaotian, and the Heat's offense hit again, and a deep sense of powerlessness suddenly appeared in the hearts of the Pacers.

Facing the Pacers, who were already having problems with their physical morale, the Heat finally won the game 113-107.

"I've seen some players on the field who can only give 50 percent of what they did in training, while Zhang can give 200 percent." Spoelstra praised after the game.

With 13 points in the final quarter and 4 points in overtime, he stepped up when the team needed to score the most, and Zhang Xiaotian deserved any praise for his completion.

Paul George said after the game, "They're stronger, but we're fearless and we're not going to go down. ”

In this battle, Zhang Xiaotian was also a little tired, and it was not easy to defend Paul George throughout the whole process.

However, they had a good rest before, and his body had accumulated, and the next day after a simple recovery training, his physical condition improved again.

At the critical moment of the playoffs, Yang Feiyu was also gentle like water at home, which made people enjoy it very much.

The Western matchup between the Spurs and the Thunder is a little different from what many people imagined.

The Spurs have always suppressed the Thunder with a flowing offense, and there is no intensity on the Eastern side at all.

Of course, the absence of Thunder Ibaka is also an important reason.

'We're always trying to break through and that's the same way we play with a lot of moving the ball. Of course, in Ibaka's absence, it could be a little bit more, but even if Ibaka is there, we're going to try to break through. Parker concluded.

However, Thunder head coach Brooks did not want to use Ibaka as an excuse, saying: "We are a team that makes no excuses. Ibaka is rested, can't come back, we're all men, we need to step up and play better, better. If we want to beat a good team, a team with a strong attack, we need to fight and not make excuses for ourselves. ”

In addition, Leonard's defense of Durant was also key to the Spurs' victory.

"That's the key to dealing with Durant." Spurs head coach Popovich said, "Obviously, it's impossible to completely block him, but it's the established policy to make it difficult for him to make his shots." No matter who he plays against, everyone is trying to make it harder for Durant. I thought Leonard did well and avoided fouls, but the whole team did a good job and helped him perfectly. ”

With the intensity of the first game and the second battle of the Heat and Pacers, both sides are more prepared.

The Pacers don't dare to take anyone lightly with the Heat anymore, and the Pacers feel they still have a chance to beat the Heat, as long as they don't mess with themselves.

They used to lose the first game in this series, but they all won in the end, so they weren't going to be easily defeated.

The two sides are still the same lineup, everyone is healthy, and the real strongest matchup in the East.

Both teams' defenses are very targeted, because of the disadvantage on the inside, the Heat shrunk the lineup at the beginning, they can no longer let the opponent lead, chasing points can be a tiring thing.

The Pacers' defense of James is still tight, and they have not relaxed against Zhang Xiaotian.

Defending tightly, the offensive focus of both sides has become a little different.

Stephenson of the Pacers feels very good on the offensive end, he is also a nerve knife on the offensive end, he is troublesome when he is accurate, and he can also carry the ball.

But Wade responded immediately, and also made a few beautiful hits.

Wade's play was the No. 2 tactic for the Heat, and it was a pure accident on the Pacers' side.

The Heat are also very resolute, Stephenson can play, Paul George can't, and even more so inside.

The score was very tangled between the two sides from the start, and the Pacers seemed to be intent on not letting the main team rest, desperately trying to win the game.

The Heat didn't come with them, and in the first half, the team should still rotate.

For them, the second half and even the last quarter will be the decisive moment.

However, the premise is that the score cannot be pulled apart, the Heat can lead the team with more than one person, and the rotation can be completed without breaking the muscles, which is also their advantage.

The Heat's strategy was a little more successful in the first half, as they managed to draw a foul from David West, leaving a gap in the Pacers' desperate tactics.

Ray Allen and Battier also hit three-pointers to give them a four-point lead at 41-37 at halftime, and they also saved their energy and got the lead.
