Chapter 351: The Second True Giant

In fact, after the transfer to the Cavaliers, Lefu has been questioned by the outside world, and the role of Bosh in the original Big Three of the Heat was directly moved to Lefu as it was, which made Lefu have been under a lot of pressure. In addition, after the formation of this team, the record in the first half of the season was not particularly ideal, which also made the media more unscrupulous to attack and ridicule Lefou, but Lefu actually didn't want to admit this, he has been looking for opportunities to prove himself, although he has always been serving the team, but in this important game, he broke out.

In the first quarter of the game, Lefu was directly full, and even James and Ye Xuan were replaced when there was more than 1 minute left in the first quarter of the game, but in order to make Lefu play confident, David Blatter did not replace Lefou, but continued to let him play in the first quarter of the game, the Pacers are indeed a player like Lefu There is no good way, West's defense seems to be very struggling, and Hibbert's defensive radius is not up to three points, so it gives Lefu a lot of opportunities, 26 points in a single quarter, this is the report card handed over by Lefu in the first quarter of the game, this data only used 14 shots, and James also used Lefou's ultra-high shooting rate to brush up 7 assists.

Although the Pacers had a big advantage on the guard line, due to the outburst of Love, the Pacers still trailed the opponent by 4 points at 34:38 at the end of the first quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers put out the fast play whirlwind combination they had tested in the previous games, C.J. Watson, Smith partnered with Shambaught, Scola and Masinmi, and ran very efficiently, while Ronnie Starkey, who was expected at the beginning, can now only sit on the bench.

On the Cavaliers' side, Irving, who has been resting for a long time, was directly replaced, and at the same time, Hill, Marion, Mozkov and Vallejo played together, in terms of lineup, it is much more luxurious than the Pacers' side, Marion is a player who has been selected as an All-Star plus an actor, and his strength is so strong that he doesn't want it. But it's a pity that Marion is indeed old, his weird shooting action is now getting lower and lower, and the actor's fake fall has also been somewhat limited because of the league's new rules.

After the bench lineups of the two teams played for a short time, the Cavaliers were forced to hand over the timeout, because although they looked very disciplined, but in fact they were playing randomly, Hill had no right to dominate the ball on the court, so he could basically only watch Irving play there alone, although Irving's strength was indeed relatively strong in the face of the Pacers' bench, but there was Shambaugh to contain him, so the success rate of his singles was not particularly high.

The result is self-evident, the Pacers relied on their good tactical literacy and tacit cooperation, but in the face of the Cavaliers led by Irving, they snatched back some points and tied all the 4 points that were originally behind. That's why David Blatter had to call a timeout and then put James back on to save the game.

The Pacers didn't dare to slack off, since the opponent replaced James in advance, the Pacers were not to be outdone, and immediately replaced Ye Xuan. Irving couldn't get too much benefit when facing Shambaugh, and he was even more dumb when facing Ye Xuan, although the Cavaliers still had a James struggling to support at this time, but due to the shooting percentage, the Pacers gradually occupied the advantage on the field and slowly began to take the lead.

This is David Blatter had to call a timeout again, on the one hand, it is also to rearrange the tactics, on the other hand, it is also necessary to change the main players to the court, indeed, in fact, the most serious problem of the team now is the serious shortage of substitute players, usually when playing some other teams, you can also use Hill with any of the Big Three to play with three substitutes, but now in the face of a team with strong individual defensive ability like the Pacers, their rotation is not enough, So I can only let the main forces come to the rescue for a while. (Originally, the Cavaliers didn't have Hill and Shambaugh, so they wouldn't be unavailable, but now that they're doing this, although there is a second team playmaker, the number of people on the guard line is a little less.) )

I have to say that Lefu is indeed a true legend of a real giant today, and immediately played his role after he got on the court, first received James's wonderful pass to complete a 2+1 after an inward cut, and then found an opportunity in the off-ball run, and came out to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, which instantly wiped out the advantage that the Pacers had just established, and I don't know if Lefu ate the spring, and he didn't play as soon as he started fighting.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pacers suddenly fell behind again, and if it weren't for the Pacers' timely replacement of the main forces to stabilize their position, the Pacers might have fallen behind by double digits. However, Rao Hibbert hit Thompson twice in a row after coming on the court to stabilize the situation, but the Pacers still trailed the opponent by 7 points.

In addition to the fact that Lefou's shooting percentage is indeed frighteningly high, there is also James's role in it, although James did not cut a few points to turn the tide in this quarter of the game, but he also sent 8 points and 4 assists, successfully brushing his data to a double-double, and he chased Ye Xuan on the defensive end, and rewarded Shambaugh with a big hat to suppress the Pacers' counterattack frenzy.

At the end of the first half, although the Pacers scored 67 points, they were still 7 points behind the Cavaliers who scored 74 points, and the Cavaliers scored 11 points except for James, only Irving scored 11 points, and the scores of the other players were basically in single digits, because their chances today were basically given to Lefou, who scored 40 points at halftime, after scoring 26 points in the first quarter, In the second quarter, Lefou, who was not replaced until the middle of the game, still scored 14 points in the 7 minutes he played, so that the outside world had to shout 'The real giant has returned to its place~~~'.

The Pacers' side is much more bleak, Ye Xuan has 23 points and 7 assists, Hibbert has 13 points and 8 boards, Solomon Hill has 11 points and 3 boards, and Smith's 9 points can barely take a look, but fortunately, the game is not over yet, and the Pacers still have a chance to chase the score back.
