Chapter 167: The Big Scene of the Little People (Part I)
However, at a time when everyone is ignoring his offensive talent, Leonard uses his own strength to tell us that he is not just a defensive giant, he wants to be all-round offensive and defensive, and he wants to be a top superstar. So after coming to the frontcourt, Leonard held the ball to face Solomon Hill, a tentative step followed by a step inward, and then a step back to open the distance between him and Hill, and directly jumped to shoot and hit two points.
On the Pacers' side, the original arrangement was to let Ye Xuan come as the core to lead the bench to play for a while, but now that the situation looks like this, Ye Xuan does not have much room to play, so he can only let C.J. Watson continue to organize the offense, while Ye Xuan continues to play without the ball.
Ye Xuan was running, Solomon Hill suddenly raised up, wanting to help Ye Xuan block Leonard, but unexpectedly, Leonard still chased after Ye Xuan, and Belinelli was also slowed down because he didn't master the distance, although Solomon Hill didn't help Ye Xuan run out of the gap, but he unexpectedly created an opportunity for himself.
He quickly ran two steps to the outside, and received a pass from Watson in one step inside the three-point line, after Solomon Hill received the pass, he shook off Belinelli who pounced and tried to block, and then stunned to the Spurs inside, although the Spurs still have Dio on the inside, but in order to prevent Hill from passing the ball to Scola behind him, he could only reach out and symbolically interfere, and then watch Hill make an easy layup.
Frank's eyes lit up off the court, he was angry with Lance at the beginning, but now he suddenly saw a person who was more qualified than Lance for the starting position, Solomon Hill, humble and not brainless, and the role of the defensive end is no less than that of Stephenson, the offensive end does not occupy the ball, he is very skilled in running without the ball, and the shooting rate has also steadily increased under Ye Xuan's training.
On the Spurs' side, it was not affected by Solomon-Hill's consecutive goals, but still handed the ball to Leonard and let him attack the main attack, in the face of Solomon-Hill's defense, Leonard still wanted to use the method of tentative steps to shake off the opponent, but Hill was prepared, and immediately adjusted his pace when Leonard stepped back, and then quickly pasted it, without giving the opponent a chance to shoot.
In desperation, Leonard could only pass the ball to Ginobili on the outside and reversed his hand, and then re-held the ball to face Solomon Hill again, this time he did not choose to go it alone, but decisively called Dior to block the pick-and-roll, after the block, Leonard hit the Pacers inside, against Scola's defense and forced the ball into the ball, and the dexterous lever also showed everyone his rich arsenal.
On the Pacers' side, Ye Xuan also discovered Solomon Hill's supernatural performance today, so he decided to temporarily help Solomon Hill play support during this time and help him find the position of his hand. So after coming to the front court, Ye Xuan took the initiative to ask Watson for the ball, and of course the latter immediately passed the ball to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan faced Leonard's defense, and decisively called Solomon Hill to help block and dismantle, after the blockade was over, Ye Xuan quickly wanted to break inward, although Leonard's death entanglement made Ye Xuan's breakthrough very difficult, but Ye Xuan still successfully attracted Mills's bag.
Ye Xuan decisively divided the ball to Watson, at this time Ginobili hurriedly went over to make up for Watson, Watson did not hesitate at all, and directly passed the ball to Copeland at the top of the arc, but in front of Copeland, Belinelli's supplementary defense was basically in place, Copeland could only pass the ball out again, and the ball came to the hands of Solomon Hill at a 45-degree angle on the left.
After standing still, Hill was ready to shoot, but after finding that the inside of the line of Dio immediately pounced to make up for the defense, Hill decisively lightly shook his foot, Dio flew out, and then Hill made a few big strides into the Spurs' interior, although Mills next to him wanted to come over to make up for the defense, but he was physically at a disadvantage and could also interfere with the opponent slightly, Solomon Hill was obviously not interfered with by him, and directly forced him to dunk the ball into the basket with one hand, at this time the referee's whistle also sounded, Mills defensive foul, 2+1!!
The audience did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, the atmosphere of the scene rose again, and Ye Xuan and others also gathered to high-five him to celebrate. After hitting the ball steadily, Solomon Hill hit three consecutive shots in the second quarter to score seven points for the Pacers.
The old man off the court is also depressed, he is already a person who can pan for gold in the sand, starting from Ginobili, he has found a lot of treasures from the second-round show, but why do the Pacers have such luck? First, Lance Stephenson, who was selected in the second round, is now a quasi-All-Star, and now there is another Solomon Hill, and the role is the same as Stephenson, plus Ye Xuan, who did not participate in the draft, it is simple.
However, the Spurs on the court have not been disrupted, and this time it is still Leonard who will focus on the single Solomon Hill, which is the same as the scene when Leonard and Pickles Pepper went head-to-head in the first quarter, and it also makes people sigh at the depth of the Pacers' lineup, and a bench can also play back and forth with the opponent's future leader.
Leonard held the ball in the face of Solomon Hill's defense, and decisively chose to call his teammates to help block and dismantle, because he also suffered from being entangled by the opponent's death, although Solomon Hill's arm span was not as perverted as his, so he was not worried about being accidentally covered by the opponent, but the hands that kept dangling in front of his eyes were still a little annoying.
After blocking it with Ginobili, Leonard decisively rushed inward, but was soon blocked by Ye Xuan, who came to make up for the defense, Leonard also wanted to force a layup against Ye Xuan, but he was decisively held down by Ye Xuan, and then pressed it directly from the air, Ye Xuan would not wait for you to stand firm, and immediately took a step forward and pulled the ball out of Leonard's hand directly.
After cutting off the opponent's ball, Ye Xuan immediately started to rush towards the opponent's half, but another person reacted faster than Ye Xuan, Solomon Hill decisively began to run to the front court after seeing Ye Xuan press Leonard, Ye Xuan was also happy to be a good person, gently pushed, smashed the ball on the rebound, the ball rebounded and was sent to the top of Solomon Hill's head, Hill jumped high, grabbed the basketball that bounced back with both hands, and then turned around 180 degrees with both hands to buckle the ball in, The cheers of the scene suddenly rang out again.
