The method of striking the east and the west was often used by Zhang Xiaotian when he was the core a long time ago.

After entering the league, he has always been more decent.

None of the Heat players knew he was coming, and Lance Stephenson naturally didn't expect it.

For some players, the feel of the dribble is the best, and Zhang Xiaotian is this type.

The three-point hollow entered the net, and the score gap was instantly left with 3 points, which was already within reach.

"See, your defense is not as good as air." Zhang Xiaotian said in a poetic tone.

Lance-Stephenson's eyes puffed out, just because he's happy when he's provoking someone doesn't mean he'll be happy when he's provoked, especially when he's provocative.

Looking back, Stephenson played a cross-dribble in front of Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian's eyes are full of disdain, although the Pacers are also offensive and defensive, they are more focused on defense, and Zhang Xiaotian, who has opened up his skills on the offensive end, has a little hope for Paul George.

Just as Stephenson was about to ignore the mid-range shot, David West shouted inside.

As a veteran who still has strength, David West still has some say in the team, and Stephenson suddenly came to his senses and sent the ball inside.

David West received the ball and arched inside, forcing Bosh to hit the ball with a half-shot and half-toss.

In terms of single defense on the inside, Bosh is really a little degraded, especially when fighting for strength.

It's another 5 points, and now it's the last three minutes, and it's certainly unrealistic to count on three points every time, and the Heat still have to do a good job defensively.

Now the two inside lines on the field are both types with good awareness of defense and can't resist alone.

And Hibbert and David West are precisely the interior lines that can sit in the low post, and it can only be said that the Pacers' interior line has restrained the Heat very well.

It's a pity that the legendary Oden the Great was ruined by injuries, and fans will need to be patient to see him make his Heat debut.

The Heat's management is also patient, and they signed Greg Oden to deal with a playoff foe like the Pacers in crunch time.

As long as that person plays half or even 30% of the power before the injury, the Heat's dollars will be worth it.

What the Heat need is an interior line that can withstand the orthodox low-post center.

It doesn't take long, 10 to 15 minutes, to make the head coach of the team feel good.

After the Pacers were prepared, it was not so easy for Zhang Xiaotian to play.

No more than those teams that are weak defensively, even if they are strengthened, it is not so easy to score under the Pacers' defense.

The Heat are playing patiently right now, with James, Wade and Zhang all taking turns trying to break through.

They are better than the Pacers, in addition to their individual offensive ability, they are also flexible.

Hibbert, a traditional center, was too slow, and after the three of them broke through the ball in a row to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation, Wade's Anderson, who was delayed after the rebound, stole one.

There is also cooperation in singles, which will give the opponent a sense of tightness on defense.

Then the Heat successfully defended again, and Paul George missed a single shot at the end.

Unfortunately, they didn't take their chances either, and James couldn't get a shot in the middle.

The duel between the strong is different, and every cooperation makes people feel suffocated.

Zhang Xiaotian could hear his own heartbeat, and he was already completely excited.

He was now in a state of emptiness, he didn't care about any tasks, he didn't care about any stats, he didn't even think about winning or losing, he was just staring at two things, scoring in attack and blocking the opponent on the defensive end.

The Pacers attacked again but chose a different routine, Paul George took James away, George Hill and David West played a pick-and-roll combination, one gear and one pick-and-roll, and David West hit again.

Very simple routine, but just works, and David West's mid-range is a hassle at times like these.

Time is running out, the Heat are still behind, and Spoelstra is hesitating.

Now this lineup is relatively balanced in offense and defense, but there is some trouble in chasing points, mainly because the Pacers' defense is too tight, and James can make chances on the outside, but this big guy has just hit a three-point iron.

James' shooting is inherently inconsistent, and facing the defense is really not the way to go.

It just so happens that Wade is also of this type, and Zhang Xiaotian is also a coincidence, and none of the Big Three plus Zhang Xiaotian is actually famous for archery.

In the early years, the Celtics' Big Three model was the orthodox combination, but unfortunately they were too old to create a dynasty.

When the clock ticked to the last minute, the Heat finally called a timeout and brought on Ray Allen for a last-ditch effort.

They already need to bet on offense, and the inside line has to be pinched anyway, and if they miss the outside line, they can only look at their fate, or the ability of both sides to seize opportunities.

If you go from the outside line, you can definitely get a chance from outside the three-point line.

Otherwise, if it's a misplaced single, Ray Allen barely has this ability right now.

It may also be better for James to go to David West than Bosh, Hibbert doesn't let the shot, Hibbert is slower, the pinch is in time, and the last few minutes really didn't give him a chance to shoot.

So when the Heat reached the last critical moment, they switched back to the most commonly used one big and four small.

Ray Allen was replaced, but he was the hardest chance to get a chance at the point.

Fortunately, the purpose of replacing him is to contain a defender of the Pacers, so that the player with the ball can have more options.

After everyone pulled away, James finally found an opportunity to break through and hit the shot.

With 42 seconds left, 84:87, there was only a three-point gap left.

The Pacers' offense was also cautious, with Paul George taking the ball on the side and making a back-to-back stance against Zhang Xiaotian.

After sitting for a while, Paul George felt that Zhang Xiaotian's strengthened strength was not very easy.

He turned around and squeezed in with a second force, and immediately an opportunity appeared that was not a chance.

But he was on the edge of the box and James hurried over to help.

Unexpectedly, Paul George was false at this time, and he took advantage of the situation to pass outside.

The Heat's defense immediately rotated, and the Pacers quickly passed the ball to the interior.

Their tactic is considered a success, and now the interior line is relatively empty, but fortunately, there is still some gap between Hibbert and the top interior line.

Bosh was the first to carry behind Hibbert, and in terms of speed, Bosh was the best on the inside.

Hibbert slammed the ball to the ground and arched his body inward, and Boshk's defenses collapsed.

He had a role to play this time, but it also delayed a little time.

Just as Hibbert was about to lift the basketball and put it in, Zhang Xiaotian had already arrived in front of him and slammed it.
