"Hahahaha, Meng, it's so cool to play today, when I look at the expression of the big fat man, I feel refreshed, haha."

"Yes, boss, you can see that big fat man's expression just now is so funny, he was very arrogant before the game started."

When the official timeout of the first quarter came, the Pacers players who came off the court looked very excited, leading the Heat by 13 points in the first half of the game, although such a lead does not guarantee that the Pacers will win, but to establish such a huge lead in the opening 6 minutes, it is enough to let these hard-working Pacers players breathe a good breath.

Such a huge lead is definitely a very wonderful start for the Pacers who are playing on the road, so when all the Pacers' starters return to the bench, not only these starters are very happy, but the rotation players on the bench and the members of the coaching staff are also the same, Jermaine O'Neal, who is sitting on the sidelines in a suit and cannot play, also walks to the sidelines and high-fives his teammates who come off the court one by one.

Not far away on the Heat bench, it is completely different from the atmosphere on the Pacers' side, when the main players of the Heat came down from the court, they were all confused, or confused, 6 minutes, only 6 minutes played, they fell behind 6-19 and gave the Pacers 13 points, and only scored 7 points in the half quarter, and the whole team added up to 7 turnovers, which also made them a little embarrassed.

At this time, not to mention the Heat's players, even the head coach of this team, Pat Riley, nicknamed the God Operator, now doesn't know how to solve this situation, the performance of the Pacers just now, made Pat Riley think of the Bulls of the year, the Bulls led by Michael Jordan, supplemented by Scott Pippen, and Ron Harper, with full-court pressing tactics, defeated one opponent after another, they successfully proved that even if a team does not have a super-first-class interior, can still win the championship, Shaq O'Neal and Patrick Ewing, the two super centers, are difficult to even connect the ball under the Bulls' outside strangulation, which is the overwhelming talent of Hongguoguo, and the current Pacers, Meng Xu, Tyshawn Prince, James Posey, Tony Allen, four league-class outside defensive players, their full-court pressing is even more terrifying than the Bulls back then.

Even Pat Riley can't find a solution, let alone Eric Spoelstra, who hasn't been out yet, so it's terrible quiet on the Heat bench right now, and everyone is looking at head coach Pat Riley, waiting for him to come up with a solution.

"Damn!" Before the start of the game, O'Neal, who had already made a declaration of victory to the reporter who interviewed him, slammed the towel in his hand to the ground when he saw this strange situation on the Heat bench, in order to vent his dissatisfaction and resentment, and in the first half of the first quarter, under the pressure of the Pacers, O'Neal was left with a futile return run, and even touched the ball only a handful of times.

"Okay, calm down, the game has just begun, we have a chance."

Looking at O'Neal's angry face, Pat Riley finally stopped being silent, no matter how Pat Riley is also a top head coach who has led the team to win the championship four times, even if he has been forced into a corner by the Pacers, Pat Riley will not resist at all, waiting there to lose.

"Dwyan, after the timeout you go to the No. 3 position, Gary, you replace Udonis, play double point guard with Jason, we have to play a little more decisive in attack, we have to be a little more concise when passing, try to avoid possession for a long time."

Toward the end of the timeout, Pat Riley finally made the final decision, removing power forward Udonis Haslem and adding a playmaker, plus Dwyane Wade, who also has the ability to play the ball, and the Heat have three players on the court who can handle the ball.

"Erwin, in the first half of the first quarter, the Heat played very badly, they didn't play any offensive play at all, do you think they can improve after this timeout?"

"It's really hard to say, with the current staffing of the Heat, it is very difficult to break the Pacers' full-court pressing, as long as the Heat can't break the Pacers' blockade, then it will be difficult for them to play a smooth offense, but fortunately, the full-court pressing tactics are very physically demanding, and the Pacers can't maintain such defensive intensity and defensive rhythm throughout the game, maybe by the second quarter, the Heat's offense can return to normal."

After thinking for a while, Magic Johnson looked at Pat Riley not far away and said, from his own point of view, Magic Johnson can't find a strategy to crack the Pacers' full-court pressing anyway, so he can only pin his hopes on the Pacers themselves, and then take the initiative to give up the full-court pressing tactics when they are physically exhausted, but although Magic Johnson can't find a strategy to deal with it, Magic Johnson still hopes that his mentor Pat Riley can find a way to deal with the Pacers, Otherwise, this game will definitely not be much to look at, and with the current defensive intensity of the Pacers, it only needs to last one quarter to completely crush the Heat.

"Children, it's better not to be so arrogant." Gary Payton, who replaced Udonis Haslem on the field, looked at Tony Allen in front of him, with a bad face, as a second-year rookie in the back position, Tony Allen can sit in the main position with such a strong man as the Pacers, which also proves that he has good talent and strength, but as a rookie, he dares to provoke a big guy like O'Neal, which is definitely not a good thing in Gary Payton's opinion, I don't know when it started, These young people are becoming more and more unruly.

Maybe it's out of a preconceived attitude, Gary Payton doesn't have a good attitude towards the players around Meng Xu, if it weren't for Meng Xu and the Pacers, he would have worn a championship ring and retired contentedly, where would he be like this, he will be 39 years old soon, and he will work the court for a championship ring, although Gary Payton rejected the Pacers' invitation and missed the championship, but in Gary Payton's heart, he has never regretted it.

"Old-timers, aren't you arrogant or young?" Born in the slums, Tony Allen, who has been shrouded in violence, crime, and drugs since he was a child, is not a good boy like Tyshawn Prince, and under the influence of James Posey, Tony Allen has also developed an aggressive, rebellious character, and dared to rush up and fight in the case of conflicts on the court in his rookie season, and today after the fast-break dunk, imitate O'Neal's celebratory actions to provoke O'Neal, all of which proves that Tony Allen is not a soft persimmon.

As a playmaking guard, Tony Allen's average assists per game is less than 4 times, and his average points per game are only 7 points, but such an average of 7 points, 4 assists, and 2.5 rebounds per game is a playmaking guard who has become the main force that the Pacers can't beat. Because of Tony Allen's excellent solo defense, and tireless running.

As long as the head coach arranges Tony Allen to play, Tony Allen will be like a mad dog, biting the players who are opposite him, including Steve Nash and Jason Kidd, the league's first-line point guards, have been embarrassed by Tony Allen's defense, today's game, Tony Allen's defense against Jason Williams is very successful, although in the one-on-one defense, Tony Allen did not have a successful break, but Jason Williams in the first half of the first half of the 6 minutes, There were 4 mistakes.

"Damn, why is this kid's defense so good?"

After the game restarted, Gary Payton, who replaced Jason Williams and began to control the ball, found that he couldn't get rid of this kid's close defense, Tony Allen's defense was very clean, and his defensive awareness was also very good, plus his arm span was excellent, and his movement speed was also very fast, which made Gary Payton unable to find a flaw at all, and even when Gary Payton was ready to deliberately expose a flaw in order to lure Tony Allen to steal and take the opportunity to get rid of him, this kid was not fooled, Of course, it was not Tony Allen who saw through Gary Payton's true intentions, but Tony Allen chose a safe defensive way and rushed to grab, and once it failed, it would be easily gotten rid of by the opponent, so Tony Allen would rather not steal than give Gary Payton a chance.

Gary Payton, who had been dribbling the ball near the center circle for nearly 10 seconds, had to signal his teammates to come forward to answer, and under the cover of Jason Williams, Gary Payton passed the basketball in his hand to Jason Williams with great difficulty, and Jason Williams was under the pressure of Tyshawn Prince throughout the whole process, and he couldn't hand over the basketball to O'Neal on the inside, and finally passed the basketball to Dwyane Wade by covering with Dwyane Wade.

"It seems that the Heat still haven't found a strategy to break the Pacers' full-court pressing!" Seeing that when the 24 seconds were about to run out, Dwyane Wade was under Meng Xu's defense and barely shot on the left side of the arc, and Michaels on the sideline commentary bench also shook his head helplessly.

If you count Dwyane Wade, the Heat now actually have 3 organizational guards on the court, originally after seeing this lineup, Michaels was still expecting the Heat to break the Pacers' defense, after all, three players who can control the ball and organize, it is unlikely that the Pacers want to strangle them all, but now it seems that even if the Heat has three organizational guards, they will not be able to find a way to break the Pacers' full-court tight defense for a while and a half. Golgo's single defense is excellent, almost everyone can take the responsibility of leading the defense, and with a historical-level defender like Meng Xu, it is really not easy to break through their blockade.

"The Heat really can't find a way to deal with the Pacers." As the first game continued, the difference between the two sides was widened, and the Heat was also a little crumbling under the continuous pressure of the Pacers, Magic Johnson looked at Pat Riley who was standing on the sidelines with a very ugly face, and knew that Pat Riley really couldn't find any way to crack it.

"Rick Carlisle's full-court pressing tactics today are really a stroke of genius, under the full-court pressing of the Pacers, the Heat's inside and outside lines are completely disjointed, and they can't play their own tactics and cooperation at all."

At the end of the first quarter, looking at the score of 36-15 on the scoreboard, everyone who watched this game knew that the Heat was over today, and they couldn't find a way to break the Pacers' defense, and they couldn't play tactics and cooperation, in this case, the Heat couldn't win at all.

The depth of the Pacers' roster has always been very good, so although the Heat continued to send all the main players in the second quarter, but in the face of the bench led by Sarunas Jascovisius, the Heat did not pull back too many scores, but because Jason Williams defended Salunas Jascovitius unfavorably, the latter scored 14 points in a single quarter in the second quarter.

Because the main lineup consumed too much physical energy in the first quarter, coupled with the excellent performance of Sarunas Jascovisius after coming off the bench, Rick Carlisle let Sarunas Jascovisius play the entire second quarter with the bench lineup, and under the leadership of Sarunas Jascovisius, by the end of the entire first half, 61-47, the Pacers still led the Heat by as many as 14 points.

Although the Heat beat the Pacers 32-25 in the second quarter and narrowed the gap from 21 points to 14 points, the Heat still did not find a way to break the Pacers' full-court pressing defense, so at the beginning of the third quarter of the game, after the Pacers' main lineup once again sacrificed the full-court pressing tactics, the situation on the court was reversed in an instant, and under a series of mistakes, the Pacers expanded the difference to 20 points again in less than three minutes.

"It looks like the Heat are losing today." Pat Riley called two timeouts in a row, but they couldn't change the decline on the court, and the Heat were never able to break the Pacers' defense on the offensive end, and they couldn't prevent it on the defensive end, and in this situation, Magic Johnson on the sidelines announced the death sentence of the Heat before the game was over in the third quarter.
