Chapter 111: The Fourth Battle of the Eastern Showdown

Fast forward to the last day of May, and there was a tense atmosphere in the visiting locker room at the American Airlines Arena, where everyone sat around the small tactical board in the room, making final preparations while listening to Coach Frank's tactical arrangements. Before such a crucial match, both sides were well prepared.

Coach Frank clapped his hands, motioned for everyone to look over, and then organized his own language, and then said, "We also know that after the gossip after the last game, the referee of this game will definitely be very tight, so we have to make a change in the starting lineup today." ”

As he spoke, he began to announce today's starting lineup: "Starting center, Roy Hibbert, starting big forward, David West. ”

Coach Frank glanced at Lance Stephenson, and then continued to read "Starting small forward, Paul George, starting point guard, Ye Xuan, starting point guard, George Hill." ”

After announcing the starting list for this game, Frank Vogel explained to Lance, "Lance, sorry to put you on the bench, the reason I did this is because Hill's ability to break through with the ball is stronger than yours, so that Ye Xuan Pickled Pepper and Hill take turns to impact the inside, which can put more pressure on the opponent's inside." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xuan and the other three, "Today, our main point of attack is the opponent's inner line, a few of you have to use your mobility to throw off the group of old guys on the opposite side, and beat Bosh to me, the opponent's inner line is only a little stronger than Bosh's offensive ability, as long as Bosh is off the court, the few substitutes they replaced are all going to be supported on the inside, so that our defensive range will be narrowed, and Roy doesn't have to worry about pulling outside the three-point line to make up for Bosh, understand?" ”

β€œyes,sir。” Several people hurriedly responded. Then everyone gathered, put their hands together, cheered on, and shouted, "Let's Go Pacers!!" before they dispersed and prepared to play.

After the start of the game, Bosh jumped to the ball one step ahead of Hibbert as always, and after gently giving the rack to James, he ran to the front court by himself, James was catching the basketball, and did not hand the ball to Chalmers, but directly brought the ball to the front court, and looked at the pickled pepper in front of him who was defending himself instead of the difficult Lance Stephenson.

So he immediately chose to hold the ball and play pickled pepper alone, and after making a gesture to his teammates to pull away, James took a step back and opened a little distance from pickled pepper, and then quickly started to break through to the left hand of pickled pepper, pickled pepper hurriedly followed, James suddenly stopped and then continued to break through to the left side of pickled pepper.

Pickled pepper was slowed down by this emergency stop, and when he wanted to continue to chase the defense, James passed the pickled pepper, and used his body to lean on David West, who came over to make up for the defense, and forcibly got up and shot, although the basketball did not go in, but the referee immediately blew the whistle.

Sure enough, as Coach Frank expected, today's referees were very tightly controlled, and it seemed that today's game was destined to be a long free throw shootout. James slowly retreated after hitting both free throws, while the Pacers slowly came to the halfcourt with Hill controlling the basketball, and then handed the ball to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan held the ball and faced his old opponent Wade, and did not directly choose a single opponent, but called Hibbert to do a block and dismantle, after the block and dismantling was completed, the two quickly dismantled and became Bosh single defense Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan wanted this opportunity.

Facing Bosh who is tall and has long arms, Ye Xuan used his dexterous steps and fancy feints to confuse his opponent, while slowly waiting for his teammates to open up space for himself, and then suddenly took a step back, and came to the three-point line A Buddha worship action directly caused Bosh to rush over and prepare to block, and Ye Xuan directly accelerated to break through from Bosh's left.

Bosh, who was passed, made an inadvertent hand movement when Ye Xuan passed by him, Ye Xuan would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately exerted his acting talent, his hands were raised, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately. Although it was not a shooting foul, it still achieved the effect he wanted.

The Pacers served on the sideline in the front court, and the ball continued to be handed over to Ye Xuan, this time Ye Xuan chose to break through Wade with the ball by himself, and after using the continuous crotch change to confuse the opponent, Ye Xuan changed direction in front of the body and passed Wade, and then easily threw the shot when James next to him had no time to make up the defense.

Compared to the previous game, both teams did not feel very good in this game, and in the next two rounds, although the two teams were found by Pickles and James respectively with the breakaway point to find their team's open space, but the shooters Chalmers and George Hill on both sides ended in a hit.

In the opening two minutes, the score of the two teams was still 2:2. But then Ye Xuan couldn't stand this boring turnaround and ran, after Hibbert grabbed the backcourt rebound again, Ye Xuan took the initiative to ask him for the ball, Hibbert did not hesitate, and directly handed the ball to Ye Xuan to control.

After Ye Xuan came to the front court with the ball, he used Hibbert, who was still running to the opponent's inner line, as a cover, directly started to pass Wade from the opponent's other side, and then made an emergency stop near the free throw line, attracting Battier on the inside line to hurry over to make up for the defense.

After receiving the pass, West saw Bosh quickly pounce on him, and immediately passed the ball to Hibbert, who happened to run to the basket, although Wade had already made up for the defense after Hibbert got the ball, but Hibbert was tall and long and stuck in a favorable position, so Wade did not dare to start at all, because it was likely to pay a foul, or even two plus one. So Hibbert lightly padded his feet and put the ball in the basket with both hands.

And the opponent did not show weakness, after re-serving in the backcourt, Chalmers quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Wade, Wade used the cover of his teammates, broke through the ball and found Bosh who was waiting in the high post, Bosh took the ball and threw it open, and also hit a long-distance two-pointer, so far, both sides finally have a sports battle score.

However, the fans of the Heat team have not yet come to be happy, and Pickled Pepper immediately poured a basin of cold water on the opponent with a catch-and-basket after an empty cut, because the breakthrough after this empty cut not only scored two points, but also caused Bosh's foul again.
