Chapter 164: Defensive Warriors' Offensive Skills

However, Ye Xuan's own inability to shoot does not mean that others can't make a shot, after Ye Xuan saw Leonard who returned to him, he decisively passed the ball to Pickled Pepper who followed behind, although the Spurs' retreat defense was basically in place at this time, but they still did not expect that after Pickled Pepper received the ball, he pulled it up and shot directly one step outside the three-point line, and Danny Green's defense was too late to pounce, so he could only watch Pickled Pepper hit this three-pointer.

The Spurs, on their side, also began to change their offensive strategy, as if to liberate Leonard, who had suppressed three games, Parker once again controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then called Leonard again to help block and dismantle, after the block, Leonard quickly rushed to the inside, while Parker quickly pulled two steps to the outside, Hill and Pepper had to change defenses.

Hill after the change of defense, facing Leonard, was obviously very physically disadvantaged, and the opponent also knew this, so Leonard quickly came to a low position and began to ask for the ball, and Split and Duncan also quickly cleared the inside line for Leonard, Parker passed the ball to Leonard, and the facial paralysis long hand monster carried Hill twice with his back after receiving the basketball, and then suddenly turned around and stepped back to open a little distance from Hill, and then directly pulled up and shot, although Hill struggled to interfere, But Leonard, who is tall and has long arms, didn't suffer much and hit the shot with ease.

On the Pacers' side, Pickles Pepper also wanted to compete with Leonard, so after Hill brought the ball to the frontcourt, Pickled Pepper took the initiative to reach out for the ball, and in the face of Danny Green's defense, Pickled Pepper used his speed and strength to directly force through the opponent, and completed a difficult drift shot under Split's supplemental defense, which was exactly the same as Kobe Bryant's elegant shot when he faced Howard's block in the Finals.

After completing this beautiful and difficult shot, Pickle Pepper couldn't help but roar at the audience, and the audience responded with enthusiastic cheers, and white towels flew on the Pacers' bench.

However, on the Spurs' side, it is obviously still not affected, it is still the same old routine, Parker came to the front court with the ball, and then called Leonard to block and dismantle, but this time, after the blocking was completed, the Pacers did not change the defense, but used the speed to keep up with the opponent, and Parker did not care, and still passed the ball to Leonard.

After Kawaii received the basketball, he first observed the opponent's position, and then took advantage of Pickle Pepper's inattention, and directly pulled out the jump on the spot and threw the ball.

However, Pickled Pepper's counterattack also came very quickly, with the help of Ye Xuan, Pickled Pepper's off-ball cover, changed direction to find a gap for himself, because Ye Xuan successfully attracted the defense of Leonard and Green, which also gave Pickled Pepper a chance to shoot in an empty position.

All of a sudden, the game seemed to have become a heads-up match between Pickled Pepper and Leonard, although it was not Leonard who defended when Pickled Pepper attacked, but the posture of the two sides competing against each other still made the audience very cool to watch.

However, the heads-up battle between the two sides came to an end soon, this round, the Spurs did not continue to let Leonard go heads-up, but chose to let Duncan play Hibbert on the inside, and after receiving Parker's pass, Duncan directly turned his back and jumped and threw the ball into the board.

On the Pacers' side, they still let Pickle Pepper hold the ball in the high post, and then Ye Xuan used the off-ball running position to create opportunities for himself or his teammates, this time, Pickled Pepper once again relied on a cover that Ye Xuan suddenly brought up from the low post to help him do, successfully got rid of Danny Green's defense, and then assisted West who pulled to the outside to shoot a mid-range shot.

The offensive success rate on both sides was not bad today, and the score of the two teams came to 15-14 in less than five minutes of the first quarter, and the Spurs took a slight lead over the Pacers by one point. However, the Pacers have the ball for the rest of the round.

After serving in the backcourt, Hill slowly brought the ball to the Spurs' half, and then began to wait for his teammates to settle down, Ye Xuan still began to run, but this time, Ye Xuan's running position obviously gave Leonard a slap in the face, because when he slipped from the bottom corner of the left corner to the right side, he suddenly braked in the middle, and then stuck Leonard behind him and began to ask for the ball.

And Hill didn't hesitate, and directly passed the ball to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan received the basketball, tested Leonard with his back, then shook his shoulders for a moment, made a confusing movement, and then turned his back and threw the ball out of the jumper, although Leonard had already guessed that Ye Xuan was going to use this move, but there was still no way to take Ye Xuan, and he tried his best to reach out to interfere with Ye Xuan's long arm, which could only reach near Ye Xuan's nose, and failed to make any effective interference with Ye Xuan's shooting, so he could only watch the basketball drill into the basket.

The old man Zhuge Vic off the field suddenly felt a headache, originally saw Ye Xuan use this trick to beat Leonard in the last game, he felt that something was wrong, but at that time, Leonard cleverly used the defense around the front to cut off Ye Xuan's low-level route to receive the ball, so Ye Xuan had nothing to do, so the old man didn't take this matter to heart after the game, who knew that in this game, the opponent not only used the off-ball run to avoid Leonard's defense, but also used the off-ball run to help others run out of the vacant position, Or even run without the ball to get the ball? This is simply unbearable, uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it.

But for the opponent's off-ball running, the old man really didn't have any particularly good way, he could have allowed other players to use their bodies to slow down Ye Xuan's speed when Ye Xuan was running, but the multiple changes of the Pacers also made the Spurs have to defend, because when others focused on Ye Xuan, who was not holding the ball, it gave the rest of the Pacers a chance to find a gap.

But fortunately, the Spurs' offense is still very powerful, although there is no good way to take the opponent on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, the Spurs still use their team basketball to fully play the advantages of the players on the court. This round was Parker's inside cut after Duncan did a pick-and-roll, which attracted Pickles Pepper to go in to make up for the defense, and as a result, Duncan seized the opportunity to distribute the ball to Leonard again, allowing Kawaii to hit another three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.
