"Hey, hey, man, can this TM blow fouls too? This is Indiana, not Miami!" After the game entered the third quarter, the referee on duty seemed to have suddenly tightened the scale of the blowing penalty, and the Pacers' two main interior lines all had to leave the court early because of the accumulation of four fouls, and Jeff Foster, who came off the bench, was blown two fouls after only two minutes, especially this defense just now, Jeff Foster was just standing under the basket, and no extra action was blown for a defensive foul, and the angry Rick Carlisle went directly to the assistant referee on the sidelines.

"Sir, please calm down." After seeing the angry Rick Carlisle rushing towards him, the assistant referee on the sidelines pulled out his whistle while dissuading Rick Carlisle, ready to teach Rick Carlisle a lesson at any time if the dissuasion failed.

"Rick, calm down, calm 。。。。。" Lester Connell, who was originally watching Rick Carlisle put pressure on the referee from behind, saw that the assistant referee had pulled out the whistle, and immediately rushed up to hug Rick Carlisle from behind, and it is normal to put pressure on the referee, but it is also necessary to grasp the scale, if you annoy the referee, it will be worth the loss if you are whistled for a technical foul.

Although the Heat has not yet overtaken the score, Rick Carlisle knows that the situation on the court is already very unfavorable to the Pacers, and now it is only the third quarter, and the Pacers have already had three main players who have accumulated four fouls, and Meng Xu has now committed three fouls. Meng Xu also got a lot of free throws, but it is clear that too strict the penalty scale is obviously more detrimental to the Pacers, because compared to the Heat, the Pacers rely more on defense.

"It's a bad move." The game has been played so far, Rick Carlisle has to admit that there is still a certain gap between his coaching experience and coaching level and Pat Riley, today's game, he fell into the trap dug by this old fox for himself in advance from beginning to end, O'Neal is the strong point and reliance of the Heat, and at the same time, because of the problem of physical fitness and playing time, O'Neal is also the cover door of the Heat, I can see it, Pat Riley must also be clear, so this old fox will be calculated, Let yourself spend most of your energy on consuming O'Neal, and then when you feel like you're about to finish, pull out the Dwyane Wade blade and stab yourself hard.

The game is not over yet, and Pat Riley's back move is still not triggered, but Rick Carlisle can also roughly guess what Pat Riley's back move is, using Dwyane Wade to make a lot of fouls on Jermaine O'Neal and others in the third quarter, so that they fall into a foul crisis, and then in the fourth quarter, O'Neal, who has been resting for a long time, will make a final decision, with O'Neal's ability to make fouls, Jermaine O'Neal and Nn Hilario, who have committed four fouls in the third quarter, will not be able to play for a few minutes in the fourth quarter, Originally, when Jermaine O'Neal and Nn Hilario were on the court, the Pacers' interior could only barely resist O'Neal, and when the two of them went off the court because of the cumulative number of fouls, the Pacers' interior line was not left to O'Neal to ask for it.

"God operator, really worthy of being a god operator!" With nothing to do, Rick Carlisle calmed down, but fortunately, this game is not over yet, and the whole series is not a winner, so even if Pat Riley's plan is good, it is impossible to knock the Pacers to death with a stick.

69-68, at the end of the third quarter, the Heat narrowed the difference to only 1 point, and throughout the third quarter, the referee on duty kept blowing the whistle, the Pacers were blown 12 fouls, and the Heat was blown 9 fouls, so the rhythm of the game in the entire third quarter was fragmented, and in this rhythm of the game, the Pacers' advantage has been shaken by the Heat.

"Boy, the winner of this game will definitely be me." At the end of the timeout, O'Neal, who was ready to re-put on the court, unceremoniously provoked Meng Xu when he passed by Meng Xu's side, although the decisive moment had just begun, but O'Neal felt that victory was already in his bag, so O'Neal vented his anger in his heart at Meng Xu without reservation, O'Neal has been waiting for this day for a long time, from the day he left the Lakers to join the Heat, O'Neal has been looking forward to it all the time, defeating Meng Xu in the playoffs and eliminating the Pacers, what he lost on Meng Xu, he had to take it back on Meng Xu himself.

"We'll see." Smiling at O'Neal, Meng Xu walked directly to the center circle, although the Pacers were still leading in the score, but the situation on the court was already very bad for the Pacers, so Meng Xu couldn't think of arguing with O'Neal now.

"Hmph, boy, do you think you'll be fine if you don't say anything?" Looking at Meng Xu's back, O'Neill's fighting spirit has reached its peak at this moment, and everything you took from me before must be returned to me now.

"Crush him, crush them." Such a voice kept echoing in O'Neal's mind, and with such thoughts, O'Neill, who was still on the sideline, went straight onto the court.

"Shaq O'Neal is in a state of play!"

Just when Meng Xu was about to take over the ball from Tony Allen and organize the first attack after the opening of the fourth quarter, Meng Xu's ears sounded a friendly system prompt, the current situation on the court was already very unfavorable to the Pacers, but O'Neal exploded again at this time, which is really worse.

"Shit." After scolding angrily, Meng Xu took over the ball from Tony Allen, this game has been played so far, the tactical intentions and hole cards of both sides have no reservations, in the case of the Heat stud at the beginning, the Pacers can only follow hard, otherwise they will give up the victory to the Heat.

The Heat's tactical intent is already very clear, that is, they are ready to let O'Neal continue to kill the Pacers' interior in the opening stage, so as to completely break the Pacers' defense.

As the Pacers' side, naturally they can't sit still, so Rick Carlisle also assigned a task to Meng Xu during the timeout just now, that is, to break through the basket and kill the Heat's inside, just like Meng Xu countered Dwyane Wade in the third quarter, it is best to let O'Neal also fall into a foul crisis, so that the Pacers and the Heat will return to the same starting line.
