Chapter Ninety-Five: Supergod Ciel
After coming to the front court, Ye Xuan used his speed to finally shake Chalmers away after two consecutive changes of direction, and then faced James who came over to make up the defense, and calmly passed the ball to Lance in the bottom corner, Lance made a move to shoot after receiving the ball, so scared that James quickly flew back to block, but Lance just shook a shot, shook James, and killed the Heat from the bottom line.
After all, the pre-match arrangement is to inflict damage on the opponent's interior line, so as to free Hibbert. Lance was about to dunk directly to the inside, when suddenly a figure stood in front of him, and then the whistle sounded immediately. Looking closely, it was Battier who made up for the defense the moment Lance broke through, and then caused Lance's offensive foul.
Lance had no choice but to admit it. But he never expected that James would immediately hold the ball and hit him alone, and the emergency stop after the breakthrough directly shook Lance, and then leaned towards Lance, and the whistle immediately sounded again. Langston was like a dead face, and in less than three minutes of the opening game, he had already committed two fouls and was definitely going to be replaced.
Sure enough, after James scored the first free throw, the Pacers made a personnel change, replacing Lance with George Hill. James hit the second free throw and then slowly stepped back, while Hill played the point guard on the Pacers' side, and Ye Xuan was promoted to the point guard position.
After Hill slowly controlled the ball and came to the front court, he made a gesture for David West to come forward to help block and dismantle, and after the blocking, he took advantage of Chalmers's failure to follow up, and directly pulled up outside the three-point line and shot, and he felt good today, and this dry pull three-point shot should go into the net.
Chalmers once again controlled the ball and came to the front court, handed the ball to James, James looked at the pickled pepper in front of him and was about to force a breakthrough, if it was another team's scoring guard who was promoted to small forward, he would suffer a lot in the face of James, but the pickled pepper itself is the standard figure of a small forward, so although the body is not as strong as James, he can still follow him.
James' left hand was stuck in Pickled Pepper, although he also wanted to dunk directly, but thinking about the Pacers' inside Hibbert, who was black and hard, he was suddenly a little empty, so he passed the ball out and handed it to Wade, Wade didn't pause when he took the ball, and started to break through directly, Ye Xuan didn't keep up for a while, and was directly passed by Wade, and after Wade passed Ye Xuan, a mid-range jumper easily threw the ball in.
But I don't know if Hill took medicine or what's going on today, after dribbling the ball to the half court in this round, he still didn't choose to pass, but directly forced a breakthrough, and then forced a shot and caused a foul on Chalmers, Hill came to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.
Later, Hill almost broke the ball in Chalmers's hand while defending, but unfortunately the ball was poked out of the sideline in the end, but such an active scramble was also recognized by Coach Frank on the side, and while applauding on the sidelines, he shouted "Well done, George, just defend." ”
The Heat served from the sideline, and after James received the ball, he made a pick-and-roll with Bosh and then used a horse archery near the free throw line, and the basketball smashed on the rebound and bounced into the basket. But looking back, Hill immediately sent a ground-hitting pass to find Ye Xuan, who cut into the inside, Ye Xuan took the ball under the basket and shook Bosh away with a false shake and then leaned up, causing the opponent to foul. Ye Xuan easily threw both free throws.
The Heat obviously underestimated the strength of the Pacers, especially after Lance was replaced, and the Heat's defense didn't seem as tight as it did at the beginning. However, in terms of offense, they still followed the old routine, James took the ball at the top of the arc, and in the face of Pickled Pepper's defense, he still called his teammates to help block and dismantle, but this time, Bosh received James's return pass after blocking and still failed to shoot this three-point shot.
It can be seen that the overall feeling of the Heat team today is not very good, and the Pacers, in addition to Ye Xuan, who is already superb, George Hill is also full of aggression today. After Pickle Pepper grabbed the rebound, he directly handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan quickly advanced two steps and found that Hill had run to the bottom corner of the opponent, and the nearest defender around him was still at least 3 steps away from him.
Ye Xuan did not hesitate, and directly passed the ball to Hill, who received the ball and directly pulled out his hand to hit three points again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Spoelstra immediately called a timeout to adjust the condition of the players.
At the end of the timeout, the Heat directly replaced Chalmers with the more experienced Ray Allen, I have to say that the Heat were able to solve the opponent in 5 games in the last round, and Ray Allen's excellent play was definitely the most critical point, so Coach Frank also made targeted tactics for him before the game.
The Heat served on the sideline, James slowly organized the team's offense after receiving the ball, and in the face of Pickled Pepper's defense, James was not in a hurry, while controlling the basketball, while observing the position of his teammates, he suddenly passed the ball directly to the ground, it turned out that Wade used his teammates' off-ball cover to run out of the open space, and easily hit two points near the free throw line after receiving the ball.
The two sides played for a few more minutes before they began to field their own rotation, with the Heat taking the lead in bringing on Wade and Bosh for Haslem and Kerr, and then replacing Battier with Rashad Lewis.
On the Pacers' side, it also seems that personnel adjustments are being made, first Hibbert, who supported the Pacers' interior line alone, was replaced first, and then, Pickled Pepper and West were also replaced, leaving only Ye Xuan and George Hill, who broke today, to lead Masimmi, Scola and Solomon Hill on the court. Poor Chris Copeland was left behind at the end of the bench by Coach Frank because of Solomon Hill's brilliant play.
After the substitution, George Hill slowly controlled the ball to the front court, and then handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan was not polite, facing Ray Allen's defense directly past the opponent with a butterfly step, and then facing Lewis who came over to make up the defense, calmly handed the ball to the vacated Scola, Scola easily threw the ball into the basket after receiving the ball.
The Heat team is dominated by James, in the face of Solomon Hill's defense, James has not put this little-known young player in his eyes, so he directly chose to force a breakthrough, but unexpectedly, Solomon Hill's defensive strength is not worse than Lance, although the experience is a little worse, but in the face of James's simple and rough forced breakthrough, Hill still coped with it handily, seeing that the forced breakthrough could not be achieved, James made a sharp stop and then shook Hill away, and hit a jump shot steadily.
