Chapter 194: The Sixth Match of the Finals, Begin!!
Time came to June 24th in a blink of an eye, Ye Xuan got up in the morning as usual to exercise for a while, and then after breakfast, he went to the team for training, but today, they did not do any special training, but simply practiced things like the coordination of running positions, because they knew that tonight's game must be a hard battle.
The time came to 6 o'clock in the evening, and the Pacers players were making final pre-game preparations in the locker room, Coach Frank still did not change his tactical ideas and starting lineup in this game, and George Hill was still arranged in the starting lineup to Ye Xuan to cooperate. It is worth mentioning that since this game is already a match point for the Pacers, league president Adam Shaw and old man Bill Russell both came to watch the game.
As the referee threw the ball high, the game officially began, Hibbert still beat Duncan to successfully win the jump ball, Hill got the basketball that Hibbert patted, and immediately moved forward, after coming to the Spurs halfcourt, Hill held the ball in the high position to direct his teammates to run, Ye Xuan looked very active today, after running a lap, suddenly a slip bottom line came to the low position on the left, and then immediately a card position, Leonard, who was chasing behind him, was stuck behind.
Hill in the high position immediately passed the ball to Ye Xuan, who was in a good position, and Ye Xuan's inside tricks were basically clear to the Spurs, so Danny Green immediately rushed to Ye Xuan's side to wrap Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, who was very willing to pass the ball, obviously meant that you were wrapping him, and immediately handed the ball to Pickled Pepper who was missed by Green. After shooting this three-point shot, Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan slapped their hands, and then shrugged their shoulders at Green cheaply, which made Coach Frank off the court sigh that Pickled Pepper had also learned badly from Ye Xuan.
However, the Spurs' response came very quickly, after Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he directly handed the ball to Dio on the inside, that's right, it was Dio, after Split was banned, the old man directly put Dio into the starting lineup. Dio received the ball and played a wall-to-wall interaction with Leonard, who took two steps inside after receiving the ball, and then pulled it up and hit a mid-range shot.
In the next round, the opponent's defense of Ye Xuan was a little tighter, and there was no room for Ye Xuan to run to catch the ball, in desperation, Hill could only hand the ball to Pickle Pepper to play alone, Pickled Pepper faced Danny Green's defense, flexibly made two changes in a row, and then suddenly started, directly left Green behind, and after entering the inside line, he handed the ball to Hibbert behind Duncan's block with a low hand, and assisted the latter to dunk easily.
And Duncan's counterattack also arrived immediately, Duncan immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball when he was stuck on the inside, Parker's pass was delivered immediately, Duncan received the basketball, immediately hit Hibbert twice with his back, and then turned his back and hit the ball with a small hook.
In the following round, the Pacers' offensive rhythm was still very perfect, Hill avoided Parker's pursuit with the help of Pickled Pepper's cover, and then rushed directly to the opponent's inside, facing Dio's defense, Hill rarely chose to force his own shot, although the shot did not hit, but it also caused Dio's foul, Hill walked to the free throw line and calmly hit both free throws.
The Spurs didn't dare to fall behind, Parker immediately relied on Dio's blocking to break into the Pacers' restricted area and then threw the ball into the ball, opening 6 attacks, both teams have scored, obviously both sides are full of energy, want to win this game.
On the Pacers' side, in fact, they still have a slight advantage, the first point is that their lineup is neat, and they can rotate as much as they want, while the Spurs are a little stretched in terms of personnel on the inside because of the lack of Split, and now Dio and Duncan don't feel anything when they play together, and when the time comes to make substitutions, the Spurs will have to look at it, look at the Spurs' bench, there is a Matt Bonner on the inside, an Aaron Baines, and the two of them are too old to run, The other is a marginal figure who has not been shown in the entire finals.
Second, the Pacers are sitting at home today, and they also hold the match point, mentally, the Pacers' side is obviously the dominant side, not to mention that the atmosphere of the team is very harmonious now, and the team is working hard for that ultimate goal from top to bottom.
In this round, the Pacers' offense fully illustrated their tacit understanding, Pickled Pepper used Ye Xuan's running without the ball to raise the cover, and went directly to the left 45-degree angle to catch the ball, Parker on the side hurried over to make up for the defense, but Parker didn't expect Hill's passing action to be just a false shot, Parker directly leaked Hill after making up the defense, and Hill directly held the ball and rushed to the opponent's penalty area.
Dio was about to come over to make up for the defense, but unfortunately Hill was very calm and sent it low, and directly handed the ball to West, who was opposite Dior, and West no longer hesitated after receiving the ball, and directly pulled up a two-point shot and hit the ball.
The offensive rhythm of the Spurs' side was not so good, Parker brought the ball to the Pacers' half, and then passed the ball to Duncan on the inside, hoping that Duncan would score points on the inside, but since the last game broke out, Hibbert seems to have opened up, and when facing Duncan, he will not be pressed to the ground and rubbed like the first two games.
Duncan also found it a little difficult to hit Hibbert on the inside, but as the boss of the team, Duncan couldn't be cowardly directly, so he still sank down to hit Hibbert on his back, but when Duncan was still entangled with Hibbert, Ye Xuan quietly touched it, directly poured the ball in Duncan's hand, and then grabbed the basketball he grabbed and quickly rushed towards the opponent's half.
Leonard, Parker and others hurriedly returned to defense, but Ye Xuan was obviously not ready to give up the opportunity to break fast, after rushing through the half, the speed was still unabated, and he rushed directly towards Parker, who had retreated to the three-point line, and then burst into an emergency stop outside the three-point line, so scared that Parker immediately pounced to block it, who knew that Ye Xuan was just a Buddha worship, after shaking off Parker, Ye Xuan easily entered the Spurs' penalty area in two steps and smashed the ball into the opponent's basket with one hand.
