Chapter 44: The Heat of War (2)
What was even more shocked than O'Neal was Luis Scola who was sitting on the bench of the Pacers, everyone felt that Ye Xuan's ball had a shadow of a big dream, but in Scola's opinion, it was himself, the same position, the same action, the same as his own steps. And Frank on the side was also secretly surprised, "This kid is really a genius, he has just taken two truces, and he has developed the technique of back-to-back singles, and in time, it must be another Anthony-style offensive kaleidoscope." ”
Not to mention the shock of others, Ye Xuan himself inexplicably rushed to a burst of pleasure after scoring the ball, a pleasure of playing with the enemy in the palm of his hand. However, James didn't give Ye Xuan time to reminisce, after Haslem served in the backcourt, James asked for the ball directly, personally brought the ball to the front court, and took advantage of the fact that the Pacers were not in a hurry, and suddenly started to enter the restricted area.
And Ye Xuan seemed to have found a little bit of a feeling of cooperating with the pickled pepper, and after handing over the ball to the pickled pepper organization, Ye Xuan began to run without the ball. Pickled Pepper took the ball at the three-point line at the top of the arc and was about to play a single, when suddenly the afterglow flashed, Ye Xuan had already gotten rid of Chalmers's defense, and was cutting into the Heat's inner line.
In the following two minutes, the two sides also played back and forth, until the main forces of both sides came to rest, and the score came to 33:28. However, this substitution, compared with the past, there are some differences, after the main players got off the court, Ye Xuan was mentioned to the position of small forward, because James on the opposite side was still on the court, and he should be brought off the bench to play for a while, and then Wade came up to replace him.
After Ye Xuan was promoted to the position of Xiao Qian, Hill, who was replaced by Ye Xuan, and Watson, the original backup point guard, were also replaced to play the first and second positions, and the original substitute Xiao Qian Copeland was pressed on the bench.
After Hill controlled the ball and came to the front court, he handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan faced the strong James, did not dare to come hard, waved his hand, and motioned to Scola to come over to help block and dismantle. After Scola stepped forward to block people, he did not disassemble and go down, but Ye Xuan took the opportunity to cut in.
Battier who came to make up for the defense, Ye Xuan accelerated, and then opened the distance, Battier, who came over to make up the defense, did not change the defense in time to return to Scola, and James after the change of defense hurriedly chased Ye Xuan, there was a gap in the rotation of the two, Ye Xuan passed the ball back, and Scola who got the vacant spot received the ball and hit two points.
And James on the other side did not show weakness, after he controlled the ball to the front court, in the face of Ye Xuan's marking, he chose to use his body to force the attack, and Watson on the side came to wrap up, but James was quick and directly distributed the ball to Ray Allen, who leaked from Watson, and the marksman picked up the ball and threw it directly after receiving the ball, the standard jump shot posture, and the basketball fell straight to the basket.
Ye Xuan sighed secretly, "Although I have the defensive talent of Gerard Wallace, but the gap in physical fitness makes me unable to effectively contain the opponent when I face opponents with large tonnage such as Anthony and James, I have to find a way to improve my physical fitness, otherwise many talents will not be able to exert their original power, even Artest's physical fitness is the same." ”
But fortunately, the Pacers' bench interior line is obviously more powerful than the Heat's interior line, although the Heat team introduced Oden the Great in the summer, but the Emperor's glass physique makes him have no chance to play. Joel Anthony and Sean Battier, who are now on the field, are obviously not able to do anything about Masimmi's black and hard.
After Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he kept finding Masimmy and Scola, these two were in the Heat's interior line, and they were addicted to the team's star players, and after three consecutive interior offenses, the Heat had to make adjustments, replacing Norris Kerr and replacing Birdman Anderson.
I have to say that in addition to the tattoo that really bluffs, Anderson also has two brushes on the interior defense, and he rewarded Scola with a big hat as soon as he came up, and Ye Xuan found that the situation was wrong, and he no longer thought about attacking the interior of the Heat team.
At the end of the first quarter, the Heat temporarily led by two points at 38:36. Such a high first-quarter score also attracted Barkley's complaint: "These two teams give me a completely different feeling from last season's Eastern Conference Finals, last season when the two teams met each other, the score rarely broke 100, but today, both teams almost scored 40 points in the first quarter, we all said that offense wins the box office, defense wins the championship, but now it seems that these two teams not only want the box office, but also want the championship." Okay, without further ado, let me watch the next game. ”
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers replaced Hill with Copeland, and then put Ye Xuan back in the point guard position, because the opponent also replaced James, and then let Wade come on the court and lead the bench players to play for a while.
Wade took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, facing Ye Xuan's defense, a cross step changed direction and wanted to shake off Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan's defense, although he couldn't prevent a big-tonnage player like James, could still defend against Wade in the face of 193. Wade, who was stuck in the position by Ye Xuan and couldn't break through, could only choose to pass, after Battier received the ball, he shot 3 points in the face of Copeland's defense, but unfortunately it was iron, Masimmi grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan saw that there was no chance to launch a fast attack, so he could only suppress the rhythm and slowly move forward.
After Wade came on the court, Ye Xuan instantly felt that the defensive pressure dropped a lot, because Wade did not have a desperate, bulldozer-like body like James. Therefore, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, Ye Xuan was no longer afraid of physical contact, and directly shook off half of his body with a Buddha worship action, and then used his speed to lean on Wade to enter the penalty area, and faced Joel Anthony who came to make up for the defense, and scored the ball with a throw.
And Wade also discovered Ye Xuan's defense, and his feet were very flexible, so this time, he chose to call his teammates to block and dismantle. After making a pick-and-roll with Birdman Anderson, Wade switched positions to face Scola and hit a mid-range shot after shaking Scola away with his footwork. Ye Xuan did not show weakness, after dribbling the ball over half the court, he directly called Copeland to help block and dismantle, after the blocking, Ye Xuan directly took the ball into the penalty area, and was wondering why the person who came to make up for the defense was gone, and suddenly a figure blocked in front of him, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry, and directly bumped into it, attacking and fouling. The fans at the scene immediately cheered.
