Chapter 197: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain
Leonard walked to the free throw line, steadily hit both free throws, and then began to retreat with a blank face. The update is the fastest, and the old man obviously has no intention of replacing Leonard to rest now, and it is estimated that because of the lack of manpower, he is forced to let Leonard play for a while.
Sure enough, after Pickled Pepper came to the front court with the ball this time, he suddenly found that the defender in front of him had become Leonard, and Pickled Pepper suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly, and he felt uncomfortable for a while. However, the ball still had to be played, so Pickles called Stephenson to help with a pick-and-roll, and then broke through to Solomon Hill, who broke out in Game 4 and slumped in Game 5, but today he apparently regained his touch, and the three-point shot still fell to the basket under Mills' interference.
Although the Spurs' performance on the defensive end was not satisfactory, but on the offensive end, the Spurs' current almost all-bench lineup can still play back and forth with the Pacers, Mills controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately passed the ball to Leonard, Kawaii did not force a single this time, beckoned to Baines to help block and dismantle, and then quickly entered the Pacers' interior line and hit the ball again.
But fortunately, the overall strength of the Pacers on the court is now a cut above the opponent, especially now that the opponent also puts Leonard on the court, when he needs to rest, Ye Xuan can really burst out his energy when he comes on the court.
In this round, after Pickled Pepper still controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Lance Stephenson, Stephenson received the pass, called Scola to help block and dismantle, and then after dodging Belinelli's defense, he directly pulled up on the spot and shot and hit it. I have to say that Stephenson's performance after being escaped by Ye Xuan is getting better and better, and it is estimated that he is also pursuing a big contract, so he broke out his own small universe.
In the next two or three rounds, the Pacers' individual ability advantage gradually manifested itself, and in addition to being a little uncomfortable defended by Leonard, Lance Stephenson and Solomon Hill were able to play a certain advantage when they were in position, and then either forced a breakthrough shot themselves, or broke through the ball to help their teammates get an opportunity to shoot in the open space.
The opponent's offense relies more on Leonard's personal ability and Dio's organization, but unfortunately although Baynes can still play some roles on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, his role is almost zero, and the Pacers basically choose to directly release Baines when the rotation is too late, and Baines has never received a pass from his teammates after receiving Leonard's pass and missing.
After a few rounds, the Pacers instantly opened up a 6-point difference, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led the Spurs by as many as 6 points at 28:22, which can also be seen that although Split's position in the Spurs is not even in the top five, but after losing Split, the Spurs' rotation has problems, which is why the Pacers were able to play an advantage in the first quarter of the game.
At the end of the intermission, the Pacers decisively replaced Pickle Pepper and Marcinmy with Ye Xuan and Hibbert, while the Spurs replaced Duncan, Parker and Ginobili together, replacing Dio, Mills and Leonard.
After Ye Xuan came on the field, when he saw that the opponent actually replaced Leonard, he immediately felt a burst of joy, as if a prisoner who had been imprisoned for 20 years was released. But first, they still have to defend against the opponent's attack.
After the Spurs served in the backcourt, Parker steadily brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Ginobili, the bald man did not get a chance to play in the entire first quarter, and I don't know what the old man thought, but as soon as the bald man came up, he showed his strength.
As soon as the bald man received the ball, he immediately used his footsteps directly, and shook Solomon Hill in front of him directly in two consecutive directions, and then entered the interior line and shook off his national team teammate Scola with a European step, and a backhand to push the ball up, a series of actions, so that the Spurs bench under the field cheered.
However, when it was the Pacers' turn to attack, the old man regretted letting Leonard play the first quarter on the court, because Ye Xuan, who had been entangled in death for three or four games in a row, was suddenly liberated. After Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the front court, he unceremoniously directly let his teammates pull away, and then he directly passed Parker in front of him with a sudden acceleration, and then forced the ball to hit the ball against Belinelli, who came over to make up for the defense.
Zhuge Vic off the court obviously knows that the opponent will definitely let Ye Xuan play alone all the time, but is there any player on his side who can limit him, so he can only let the players on the court suppress the rhythm, give Leonard some rest time, and then let Leonard sanction Ye Xuan.
So after Parker brought the ball to the frontcourt, he did not rush to start attacking, but controlled the ball two or three steps outside the three-point line, while directing his teammates to run without hurry, while observing the opponent's position, knowing that there were 10 seconds left in the offensive time, Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.
After the bald man got the ball, he wanted to repeat the old trick, but this time Solomon Hill was not shaken away by him again, but directly stuck Ginobili's breakthrough route, delaying the Spurs' offense, and the little offensive time left was suddenly a little insufficient, and the bald man had no choice but to pass the ball to Duncan on the inside, Duncan directly turned around and threw the ball out with a small hook hand after receiving the ball, but due to the haste of the shot, the shot finally ended in iron.
After Hibbert grabbed the backcourt rebound, he immediately passed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan also knew that the opponent was consuming time waiting for Leonard to recover his strength, and the time for him to shoot unscrupulously should be only these few rounds, so he decisively drove full horsepower and rushed towards the opponent's half.
Parker and Belinelli's defense was very fast, but Ye Xuan did not have the slightest idea of slowing down, after coming to the front court, Ye Xuan directly walked past Parker in front of him with a butterfly wearing flowers, and then suddenly took a step back, stuck Parker who was ready to chase behind him, and then used the trick "skipmylou" to shake Berinelli in front of him, and then easily hit the ball with a pick. A series of fancy actions also made the audience jubilant again.
