In addition to the starting lineup, the depth of the Pacers' roster this season is quite impressive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the starting five, it is George Hill who generally plays as the sixth man, providing three-point firepower and tough defense as soon as he gets on the court.

In addition, Tyler Hansbru, who is perhaps the best player in NCAA history, is quite good at rebounding with one hand, and his strong body is not afraid of physical contact at all, which is a headache for every offensive player.

Later in the season, Barbossa, the former sixth man of the year who was traded from the Toronto Raptors, is familiar to everyone. Jones, who came off the bench at the No. 2 position, was physically energetic, loved physical contact, and was sure of an open cut basket and an open three-pointer. Louis Armondson plays hard, and second-year player Lance Stevenson is a good dribbling and has a good passing skill, and is one of the important rotational members of the bench.

Such a lineup ensures that the Pacers can provide a continuous and tough defense for the full 48 minutes of the game. Almost all opponents will have a splitting headache when they come across them, and they will be overwhelmed by the endless defensive distractions.

It can be said that in terms of starting defense, rhythm control, the Grizzlies have a stronger defensive strength. But when it comes to maintaining defensive intensity throughout the game, especially the terrifying depth of perimeter defense, the Pacers have no one else in the league.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The game came to the first half of the second quarter, and Stevenson controlled the ball on the wing and called for a pick-and-roll with one arm.

Amundson stepped forward to cover, and Stevenson, a streetball player from Brooklyn, New York, flashed and disappeared from the defenders in an instant.

Circle!

Marcus Thornton hurriedly bypassed Amundsson's cover to chase after him, and when he came to the other side, he was about to reach out to stop it, but found that there was no one in front of him.

What about people......???

"Whew......!"

On the other side of Amondson's body, the sound of basketball breaking the wind sounded.

What the......?!!

Thorton was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up to see that the basketball was already flying in the air, drawing a perfect arc and falling towards the basket.

“…… Swish! ”

Going!

"Stevenson! Pretty killer change of direction! In the case of covering, he changed direction and returned to his original position to shoot in a long distance, 34-20, and the score gap was still widening!! ”

“FXXK……！”

Being played like a monkey by Stevenson, Thorton will feel uncomfortable no matter how big his heart is. scolded and stomped his feet hard, and his mentality was about to collapse.

Damn, ...... forcibly creating space without giving it?

You can do it!

When the offense was running, Thorton glared at Gu Yu who was sitting on the bench, not because he was dissatisfied with Gu Yu, but for the first time on the basketball court, he deeply experienced the helplessness and depression caused by the lack of strength.

Previously, according to Gu Yu's opinion, Westphal formulated a new tactical idea:

Reduce tactical coordination, try to be simple and rough on the offensive end, give the ball to the player with the strongest single ability on the court, and the rest of the players open up the space, try not to do cover cooperation, and do not let the Pacers players have the opportunity to wrap the ball carrier, and then let the ball carrier directly single.

"Even if you really encounter the bag, don't think about passing the ball at the first time, first find a way to break the game yourself, I don't care if you make fouls or long shots or force breakthroughs, in short, give me a way to score ......!"

It may sound unreasonable, but the Kings know that this is probably the only way to do it right now.

But......

"Smack!"

"Steal! Marcus Thornton wanted to force a breakthrough, but was directly tackled by George Hill and Stevenson, and the Pacers pushed and counterattacked!! ”

But with this terrifying defensive intensity, how can I score......!!

"Whoosh!"

Frontcourt, George Hill passed the ball to Stevenson, who held the ball at the three-point line and suddenly a pass.

Flanks, trapeze takeoff.

“…… Bang!! ”

Dundee Jones, the empty catch is a big dunk!!

“TIMEOUT！ TIMEOUT！！ ”

Westphall got up to call a timeout, and the players on both sides came off the court with a look and momentum at two extremes, and with the shouts of a storm sweeping through the Conseco arena, the Kings faced a major crisis.

"From the Giant Killer to the 50% win rate to the playoffs, the Kings have also begun to experience this painful transformation......!"

On the barrage in the live broadcast room, Emperor Knowing the Ball appeared again.

Becoming a giant killer is a process that many small teams have experienced.

In fact, the reason is very simple, although the strength of the small strong team is far less than that of the giants, the giants will always underestimate the enemy:

The opponent is a weak team, as long as there are no mistakes, normal offense and defense are played normally, and the probability of winning is more than ninety percent. It is absolutely not cost-effective to spend several nights studying, discussing tactics, and making various arrangements for such an adversary.

No matter how professional the player team is, they also know how to calculate this account, so the giant killers are usually these lower-average teams.

And when a season of giant killers is over, entering the new season, the team has successfully strengthened or tapped potential, its strength has risen, and it has a chance to impact the playoffs.

Other teams will also start to seriously analyze and study you and explore countermeasures.

This time period is the most embarrassing and difficult time period.

Your strength is just enough for the last train of the playoffs, but people were killed by you last year, and the clay man also has a three-point temper, and he always wants revenge in his heart, telling the fans all over the world that you are not on the same level as them.

A team in the quarterfinals of the division is regarded as the object of revenge, using the intensity of the playoff game to study and figure out your style of play, targeting you, hitting you, and there will be ghosts if you can withstand it.

As a result, the former giant killer is gone, replaced by a playoff-caliber team. In terms of strength, it doesn't seem to be able to set off any waves, just one of the top eight, and the level that was eliminated by the strong team basically has no chance of "committing the following offenses".

The news about you began to decrease, the news about you began to decrease in popularity, and the countless "fans" of you who came out for a while also disappeared.

You've fallen into the shadows.

The Kings have reached this bottleneck.

"If you can get past this stage and the core players are elevated, or if you trade some superstar, the team will be qualitatively changed. The prime example is the Bulls, who are already considered championship contenders this season. ”

The barrage understands the ball emperor continued: "And if you can't cross this hurdle, the progress in the past few years will not reach the level that people once expected, then what awaits you is that the core players are poached, the salary structure is problematic, and the former 'Xiaoqiang' gradually falls apart, and finally disappears, waiting for the next reconstruction and reincarnation." ”

In between speeches, the pause ends.

“1、2、3…… KINGS！ ”

Play!

With six minutes remaining in the second quarter, both sides made personnel changes.

"Well, both sides are back from the starting lineup, the 16-point gap, as long as the difference is controlled at about 15 points before the end of the half, the initiative in the second half of this game will be completely in our hands!"

The local commentary is always strongly biased, and the Kings gang also stepped onto the pitch amid a cacophony of shouts.

"Remember, at most once!"

Westphall clapped his hands behind him for a final tactical reminder, and the players nodded their heads heavily, ready to continue the fight.

What is the maximum ...... at one time?

On the Pacers' side, the silent leader Granger heard this and frowned, not understanding the meaning.

What is at most one time?

A certain tactic?

Is there any tactic in the world that can only be used once?

What the hell is the king doing!

"Defend and defend!"

Behind him, Paul George, a sophomore who was more outgoing and more suitable to be the leader of the team than himself, shouted, Granger nodded slightly, walked quickly to Gu Yu and stood still, and began to defend.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Evans advanced with the ball, leaned back half-way into the front court, and used his height advantage to block the position, not allowing Collison to have a steal, and his eyes scanned the court.

"Cousin, let's go!"

Covering on the flanks, Gu Yu ran around the court for a small half lap, and pulled to the outside line after covering with Cousins.

The carving insect skill, in the end, is still a trick to run the vacancy without the ball cover......!

Granger also sneered in his heart, the King's tactics are such a characteristic, a large number of off-ball air cuts to find opportunities, all kinds of passing balls to share the ball behind the back door. It seems to be a complicated comparison, and the various running positions are dazzling, but the core is the same, as long as there are advantages in terms of physical fitness and arm span speed, there is still a chance to prevent it.

In this situation, as long as I get around it as soon as possible, I don't have to worry about it at all......

"Bang"

Well......?

Just when Granger was about to bypass Cousins' cover to chase Gu Yu, the king center next to him took root and stood still, intentionally or unintentionally with his body, not letting Granger pass.

What the......??

This is to ......

"Whoosh!"

Evans' pass had been sent, Granger was shocked, and hurriedly reached out and slapped Hibbert, who was still in a daze, and said, "Go up and make up for it!! ”

“…… Oooh! ”

Hibbert then realized that something was wrong, and immediately strode forward to make up for it, but ......

"It's too late, you stupid fork!"

"Whew......!"

Gu Yu received the ball and shot in the middle......

"Huh!"

Middle!

“YES……！！”

Finally scored, Gu Yu raised his arms and shouted, glared at Hibbert viciously, and turned around and retreated.

"It's okay, it's okay, the attack is back."

Collison reassured, and as the dribble advanced, Granger was running with doubts in his heart.

Stop me with the width of your body and don't let me go around?

Is this what it means to force the change of defense and get Hiberta out?

And then what? What if Hibbert was in place just now in time, and the hairstyle brother couldn't make a move? Hang the ball to Cousins, and the basket is misplaced and small?

We can fake the bag, our arms are so long, it's hard to say if we can steal, but we can always make this stupid big man shoot and not score!

The king's idea, is it that simple......?

"When"

Finally, the Pacers missed an offensive shot, the rebound was picked up by Thompson, and after Evans advanced to the frontcourt, Gu Yu and Cousins did another off-ball cover cooperation.

Damn it......!

Once again, he was stopped by Cousins, and Granger had no way to catch up with Gu Yu's footsteps, this time Hibbert learned smartly and kept up with the defense as soon as possible.

On the other side of the basket, Thompson's mid-range shooting ability was not good, and West simply let it go for the time being, and stepped forward to help Granger fake Cousins to prevent Evans from directly hanging inside to play misposition.

On the outside, Gu Yu catches the ball.

"Bang Bang Bang"

When Gu Yu began to speed up the dribble, and Cousins also consciously pulled to the weak side, Granger finally understood the King's thoughts.

“…… Bang! ”

Continuously changing direction and shaking under his crotch, Gu Yu constantly mobilized Hibbert's center of gravity, and at the moment when the seven-foot-long man's footsteps were slightly chaotic, Gu Yu's dribbling suddenly accelerated, and quickly wiped into the inner line from his side.

"Supplemental defense, ......!!!"

Granger shouted as he was entangled in Cousins and couldn't move. I watched West step forward with slow steps, but he was cleaned up by Gu Yu with an incomparably colorful Buddha worship action.

These guys aren't trying to misplace, on the contrary, the Kings are going to ......

"Whew......!"

It's to make the hairstyle brother small and big!!

“…… Swish! ”

“SXXK-IT-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABY――！”

The Storm Hammer skill took effect, and Gu Yu was chased and intercepted by the two elders, and threw a hit!

This goal completely opened up Gu Yu's ...... of desolate power that had been suppressed for almost the entire half!

===============

The offseason drama is really drunk, and the management of New York feels that it has been constantly releasing news, and I don't know what the specific purpose is, to raise the price?

Now it makes people feel that the price of melons is falling more and more obviously......
