Chapter 113: Sudden Jumping

And the Heat's offense seems to have been restrained by this strange lineup, after James controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he looked at Lance Stephenson in front of him and Solomon Hill who was defending Ray Allen next to him.

But the Pacers' backup center is also a black and hard Marsh, so Bosh's singles are not very effective, although he uses his feet to get space to shoot, but the shot is iron, Pickle Pepper grabs the rebound, and then quickly rushes to the frontcourt.

After Pickled Pepper came to the front court with the ball, he found that this time it was James in front of him, so he immediately handed the ball to Lance, although Lance rarely attacked with the ball, but he also had the ability to play alone, facing Chalmers's small body, he directly used his body to crush into the interior, and then hit two points again with a backward jumper.

After a few rounds, the Heat not only failed to rely on James to seize the opportunity to get back a little point, but also because there was always a position in a weak position, the score was pulled more and more by the Pacers' strange lineup.

With 4 minutes to go in the second quarter, the Heat finally couldn't stand it anymore and chose to replace James and Ray Allen with Battier and Wade, while the Pacers also replaced Pickle Pepper with Ye Xuan instead.

After Ye Xuan came on the court, he used Solomon Hill's cover to hit a throw, stretching the difference to 14 points. The Heat, on the other hand, looked a little impatient, and all five players were floating outside the three-point line to try to use the three-point line to quickly equalize the score.

With four minutes left in the second quarter, the two sides began to switch all their main players one after another, and by this time, the Pacers had already led their opponents by 16 points. However, perhaps because Spoelstra changed his tactical arrangement during the timeout, the Heat became more protective of the interior after switching to the main team.

Therefore, the Pacers' plan to impact the opponent's interior line was also aborted, and because of the rotation of the opponent's interior, they not only wasted the opportunity to shoot, but also lost the ball twice because they rushed into the interior and were caught by the opponent, and the Heat also took the opportunity to use these rounds to play their familiar quick counterattack, chasing the score gap back to 10 points in one fell swoop.

Coach Frank also hurriedly called a timeout, asking Ye Xuan and the others to change their tactics, and after the pause came back, George Hill and Ye Xuan really stopped continuing to impact inward, and began to use their personal breakthrough points to open the offensive rhythm on the outside.

In the last two minutes of the second quarter, the two sides seemed to return to the rhythm of the first half, with frequent offensive blockages and easy fouls in hand-to-hand combat, resulting in a very slow pace of the game.

At halftime, the Pacers temporarily led by 11 points at 46:35. At halftime, Coach Frank praised the performance of the Pacers, and then laid out the second-half strategy.

At halftime, the Pacers will play relatively easily. But the first offense ended with Ye Xuan's passing mistake after breaking through with the ball, and the Heat team seized the opportunity of the opponent's mistake to score the ball with three fast breaks.

Ye Xuan, who was chasing after the mistake, watched the opponent easily score the ball, and shook his head helplessly, and then raised his hand to signal that his teammates were his fault just now. After holding the ball again and coming to the front court, Ye Xuan made a gesture to ask his teammates to pull away, wanting to prove himself by playing alone.

But when Ye Xuan burst into the penalty area after passing Wade, he didn't notice that James next to him had quietly slipped over from the side, and when Ye Xuan just shot, he grabbed the basketball and directly took the basketball in his arms.

After the hat dropped Ye Xuan, Wade and James quickly rushed to the frontcourt, although Pickle Pepper tried his best to chase back halfway, but James and Wade's fast break rush was not something that one person could prevent, and finally Pickled Pepper gave up the idea of blocking in order to prevent being deceived and fouled by the opponent, and James was not greedy, and when he rushed to the free throw line, he threw the ball high into the air, and then turned around and began to celebrate, while Wade on the side jumped up and grabbed the basketball and dunked the ball with one hand. It can be regarded as a change of direction to revisit the classic action of Jenway's connection.

After this ball, the Heat team seemed to be motivated, and they became more confident in their shots in an instant, and their defense became more hardworking. After Hill controlled the ball again and came to the front court, he handed the ball to Hibbert, who asked for the ball on the inside, Hibbert was relatively handy in the interior single Bosh, and after leaning on his back twice, he turned around and scored the ball with a hook hand, which was also regarded as easing the situation that the Pacers were about to collapse.

But the role players of the Heat team suddenly began to exert their power, James broke through and handed the ball to Chalmers on the outside, even though George Hill's defense was not out of position, even though Hill's hand had been sealed in Chalmers's face, but Chalmers was outside the three-point line, and this slightly backward pull-up jumper still hit directly.

Ye Xuan saw that the opponent actually shot such a difficult goal, and he suddenly felt a little itchy, after all, he had basically shot like this in front of others before. So after Hill controlled the ball and came to the front court, Ye Xuan directly asked Hill for the ball.

Hill directly handed the ball to Ye Xuan, and then came over to help Ye Xuan make a cover, Ye Xuan took the opportunity to open the distance between him and Wade, and then shot decisively outside the three-point line, but the basketball did not fall directly into the basket as Ye Xuan wanted, but because Ye Xuan's shot was too strong, it directly smashed into the back of the basket and flew out.

Seeing the basketball that bounced out and flew straight towards him, Ye Xuan thought that he could pick up a rebound and continue to shoot, but Wade on the side came out from the side when the basketball was about to fly into Ye Xuan's hand, and jumped high and hugged the basketball that was close at hand directly in his arms.

And James and Chalmers on the side have begun to start fast, and after getting the basketball, Wade also began to move forward quickly, and passed the ball directly when Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper didn't have time to come over to wrap him, Chalmers received the ball and dribbled forward two steps directly into the sky, James jumped up and held the ball in his arms, and then turned around one hundred and eighty degrees and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

was beaten by the opponent in the air relay and unreasonable dry pull three points one after another, and the morale of the Pacers began to be a little low, Ye Xuan was also a little self-blaming, after all, he was chased by the opponent twice in a row and counterattacked, all because of his own mistakes or failure to shoot, and the pickled pepper on the side also saw Ye Xuan's thoughts, came over to comfort Ye Xuan, and then took the initiative to take on the responsibility of attacking with the ball in the next few times.
