Chapter 134: A suffocating offensive frenzy

At halftime, Coach Frank first praised the performance of the Pacers in the first half, and then summarized the opponent's state today, and arranged to "Ye, you and Paul can help Hibbert to make up for it under appropriate circumstances, I found that Wade's offensive desire today is not very strong, and his range is also limited, and today's Heat team's tactics seem to want to rely on Bosh to open the situation, and in the entire first half, Bosh alone scored 18 points, So we have to contain our opponents. ”

"In addition, if you can, I hope you can speed up in the second half and catch the opponent off guard, because the opponent's main lineup includes Wade, Battier, Haslem and even Ray Allen, which can be regarded as older players, after the first 5 games of hard work, now their physical strength should be a little unable to keep up, which is also one of the reasons why Wade and Ray Allen have very few shots today, so we speed up and will definitely be able to hit the opponent by surprise."

After that, Coach Frank cheered up his disciples and ended the impromptu meeting at halftime. Unlike the Pacers, the Heat's locker room is more in the hands of James and Wade, and Spoelstra is just a puppet, although he has won two championship titles, everyone is more willing to take credit for the Big Three and the god operator Riley.

In the Heat locker room, James was also cheering on his teammates: "In the last game, we saved ourselves from the brink of death and brought the game back to Miami, and today we were able to win the opponent as well, we are the defending champions!" We've knocked our opponents out of the tournament for the second year in a row, and although most people don't think of us anymore this year, we still have to prove that we are still strong contenders for the championship! ”

The time of halftime passed in an instant, and the second half of the game officially began, and the Pacers started with a different formation, Hibbert did not appear on the court, and was replaced by George Hill. In this way, the Pacers put on a five-small shooting lineup that they experimented with in the Eastern Conference semifinals, although the defensive ability of this lineup has decreased, but through constant rotation and rapid changes of defense, it can still effectively defend the opponent's offense.

The Pacers served in the backcourt, Hill quickly advanced to the front court after getting the ball, and then when Chalmers didn't react, he shook the opponent away with two consecutive changes of direction, and Hill, who broke into the inside, did not give the opponent's interior player a chance to be unprepared, and easily threw the ball in one step inside the free throw line.

On the Heat side, Chalmers still controlled the basketball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to James at the top of the arc.

Moving two steps horizontally directly stuck James's breakthrough route, James had no choice but to pass the ball to Wade, and Wade's feel today is indeed a bit problematic, after receiving the ball, he casually made two feints to forcibly break through Ye Xuan, after being defended by Ye Xuan, seeing that there was not much time left to attack, Wade had to make a hasty shot.

The basketball slid out of the basket, David West grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then quickly handed the ball to the nearest pickled pepper, who quickly galloped towards the opponent's half court after taking the ball.

After Pickles came to the frontcourt, the Pacers were already in a four-on-three situation in the frontcourt, Pickles quickly took two steps inside, and then a split shot put the ball in the hands of the unguarded Lance, who received the ball and shot, and successfully hit the long-range two-pointer.

Although the Heat tried their best to control the situation of the game, but after being chased by the opponent for two consecutive balls, the Heat players began to panic, although James still controlled the rhythm of the team's offense, and successfully used the breakthrough point to assist Wade to shoot a mid-range shot.

But the Pacers didn't take a break, immediately served quickly in the backcourt, and then quickly advanced to the opponent's half by Hill, came to Hill near the three-point line, and fully played the tactical essence of chasing the opposite side, and when Chalmers's defense had not had time to settle down, he shot directly outside the three-point line, fortunately, Hill's chasing three-point was not thrown, otherwise the Heat team is estimated to collapse.

On the Heat side, Boss grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then handed the ball directly to James to organize, after James brought the ball to the frontcourt, he made a wall-hitting cooperation with Battier, and then rushed directly into the Pacers waiting for me to the restricted area, but in the face of Lance, James's offense finally ended in iron.

In turn, after Lance grabbed the backcourt rebound on the Pacers' side, a long throw directly handed the ball to Ye Xuan, who had already started to break fast, Ye Xuan received a long pass from Lance, and easily completed the attack with a one-handed split dunk in two steps into the opponent's restricted area. Spoelstra also noticed that something was wrong and immediately called a timeout to adjust the team's tactics.

However, this pause only gave the Heat a breather, under the Pacers' continuous pursuit of offense, the physical strength of several veterans of the Heat team obviously began to be a little unable to keep up, the first is Battier, originally as a defensive player, Battier has to pay more on the defensive end, and in the rapid offense of the Pacers for many consecutive rounds, Battier also ran several times in a row.

Everyone should know that if you run 20 meters, and then rest for more than ten seconds and then run another 20 meters, it is completely different from the physical strength consumed by you to run 20 meters in a row.

This made the Heat have to call a timeout again to make some personnel adjustments, first of course, they replaced Battier, who should have been replaced by Haslem, but thinking that the Pacers sent a flexible small lineup, Spoelstra simply replaced Ray Allen, ready to deal with the opponent with the same small lineup.
