Reggie Miller is the greatest star in the history of the Pacers, and in 18 seasons with the Pacers, it was a shame that he didn't win a championship for the team, but that still didn't stop his greatness, and his accurate three-point shooting and end-of-game performances like Miller's moments were breathtaking.

Now is not the era of Reggie Miller, but there are still three-point shooters like him, such as Stephen Curry, such as Xie Chen in front of him, the times are developing, and the players are also improving, in his opinion, the current Curry and Xie Chen are even more powerful roles than him, just from the three-point point, and what Miller admires the most is that Xie Chen not only shoots three-pointers, but also is all-round in other aspects.

"Tonight, will he break out again?" Miller looked at Xie Chen, and couldn't help but have questions in his heart.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played very hard, and they got into the state very quickly, and in the first few rounds, both the Heat and the Pacers were able to score wonderful goals, presumably everyone knows the importance of this game, no matter for whom, it is not just a simple victory or defeat, it will make the Pacers directly face the situation of whether to go home or not.

The 28-year-old CJ Myers finally broke out, shooting consecutive three-pointers in the first quarter, facing Wade He has a height advantage, but Wade is more experienced, so the first two games made Myers very uncomfortable, almost unable to find the offensive rhythm, maybe it was a desperate fight, Myers shot very decisively tonight, once there was an opportunity to shoot firmly, and one shot was accurate.

Wade's defense seems to be airtight, but in fact, it is still tightened, especially to prevent this kind of peripheral shooting, which is generally just a matter of interference, and it all depends on God's will whether to score or not, compared to players who shoot back and forth in circles. Wade prefers to defend the kind of player who relies on his body to play with the ball.

CJ Myers' sudden three-point rain almost opened the score, but fortunately, the whole Heat team was full of fighting spirit as soon as they came up, and they all wanted to play. Taking the lead early to make the game out of suspense as soon as possible to end the series as soon as possible, Wade responded to Myers. An easy break from a change of direction, to the basket, easily shook Miles up, and then hit the time difference, hit the board into the basket and scored.

Although Xie Chen did not score 20 points in a single quarter like the last game, it can be seen that he is still in a brave state, and he used Kobe-style step-back jumpers to shoot two goals in a row at the free throw line to bite the score tightly.

After the first session. The Pacers scored 20 points, the Heat scored 19 points, only one point apart, the two sides fought very fiercely, this one really has a bit of a playoff matchup, the fans on the scene are all very excited, and the tense game makes everyone preoccupied. Fans absolutely enjoy the playoff matchups, and they don't want the Pacers, who have managed to make the playoffs, only play two games on their home court and leave.

As a player for the Pacers. Each of them has a reason to fight for the fans and win a win.

With both sides resting at the beginning of the second quarter, the benches had a wonderful battle. The most eye-catching is the Argentine star Luis Scola, Scola because he has partnered with Yao Ming Maddie in the Rockets, so he is no stranger to many Chinese fans, he is 35 years old, scoring and playing time can not be compared with the Rockets, but an athlete with solid basic skills, age does not prevent him from contributing to the team at all.

Scola received the ball high and looked at his team-mate's chance, facing Beasley's defense. Raise your arms up and aim at the basket in preparation for the shot. Beasley immediately flew up, and Scola easily shook Beasley to his feet. Then, when you get rid of the defender, you can dribble to the basket and pick up the basket easily.

Xie Chen, who was sitting on the court, shook his head, Scola's feints were quite high, but the process of breaking through to the basket and making a layup was too long, Scola did not have the speed of a young athlete, if Xie Chen was on the court, Xie Chen would definitely rush over to block Scola's layup, and watching Scola go up to this kind of layup without difficulty made Xie Chen very uncomfortable, which also showed the looseness of the Heat defenders.

However, Scola's performance was not over, when the Heat missed the score, the Pacers launched an attack again, fortunately, the Pacers also missed this time, but Scola who went deep into the basket grabbed the rebound in the front court on the heads of the two Heat players, Beasley and Birdman Anderson surrounded Scola and did not let him shoot, but how could Scola who was so close to the basket give up this opportunity lightly, only to see Beasley gently hit Scola on the forehead, and Scola took advantage of the situation and threw the ball out of the board.

scored, and blew an additional penalty!

"Good shot!"

The audience was full of cheers, and even Paul George couldn't help but stand up and cheer for his teammates, and Scola was just slapped on the forehead by Beasley, and now he has fallen to the ground, no wonder he cheated the opportunity to make free throws.

"This guy...... Sure enough, I can still play better than me, and it looks like I'm going to meet an opponent tonight. Xie Chen chuckled, speaking of performing fake falls, Scola is an actor-level figure, Xie Chen still has to learn from him.

Scola hit a free throw and scored five points in a row, stretching the gap to six points at once.

At this time, Spo also had to plan for the worst, ready to let Xie Chen play to stabilize the situation, but when Wade was not on the court, the Pacers were unceremonious to Xie Chen's bag and would never allow Xie Chen to score casually, so Xie Chen did not have many good scoring opportunities, and the shooting rate of the Heat team seemed to have declined in this quarter, not as high as in the previous quarter.

And with the debut of Paul George, the Heat further lagged behind the Pacers, and suddenly pulled up to more than 10 points, today's George state seems to be very different, without the previous hesitation and fear, in the face of Luo Er Deng's winding defense, George played quite aggressively, that is, to break through, make fouls, only in the second quarter, Luo Er Deng received three fouls, but Paul George scored 15 points in less than half time, but the shooting rate was not high, and the body consumption was huge, it can be seen that when the free throw is made, He'd take the opportunity to catch his breath for a moment.

Paul George Xie Chen is not afraid, after all, even if he was not injured before, he was not the kind of super scorer who saved the team with points, and the highest score in a single game was only 43 points before, and the current state, if George scored more than 40 points, he may really be able to win, but this is absolutely unrealistic.

Compared to Paul George. Xie Chen is more worried about the performance of the other players of the Pacers, and for a whole season, the Pacers have long been accustomed to playing without George. They don't need George to lead them, which is a scary point.

Scola didn't know what was going on. Today seems to be in a particularly good state, like other Pacers players, he is decisive, not worried about the consequences of not being able to attack, he even holds the ball in the high post and forcibly attacks, breaks through with his back, and then, comes to the basket, makes dream steps and then lays with low hands. Xie Chen wanted to rush over to block it, but he didn't expect to be a slow beat, hit Scola on the arm, and gave him a chance to add a penalty!

"Good!" When Scola saw that this 2+1 was still won on the opponent's ace player, he couldn't help but clench his fists and roar angrily, and his teammates also came over to high-five and cheer.

Xie Chen was completely helpless, and when he couldn't score, he couldn't stop the opponent from scoring, which made people feel like they were on the edge of an abyss.

Once the doom is opened, it is not so quick to dissipate. In this quarter, the overall shooting rate of the Heat was miserable, if it weren't for Xie Chen's tough breakthrough layup at the last moment to make a foul. It may be that the Heat are already trailing the Pacers by nearly 20 points.

And just like that, halftime, the Heat trailed by 15 points.

In the locker room, Coach Spo has been giving confidence to his teammates, saying that the chances have come out, but they haven't made any shots, all they lack is a bit of luck, and in the second half, the shooting percentage will definitely come back. Their table xiàn will also bounce back, importantly. How to curb the opponent's scoring, now the Pacers' momentum is about to rise. Even if the Heat really rebounds, they may not be able to win in the end, and defense is something that the Heat has to solve urgently.

The Pacers' home locker room was a completely different atmosphere, Larry Bird personally cheered all the players on, and praised their performance in the first half, Paul George fought very fiercely in the first half, really let it go, and now he is gasping for breath with his bare upper body, which is the most physically demanding game since his comeback, and the pressure is also unprecedentedly huge.

David West handed Paul George a bottle of water, and he also knew George's efforts tonight, and he was also very moved in his eyes: "Paul, we will definitely win this victory." Then, unbeaten at home is guaranteed! ”

George took a big sip of water and nodded, "That's right, we only have to guarantee that these two home games are unbeaten to have a chance to win this series." ”

The whole Pacers team seems to feel that this victory is secure, and it is no wonder that people's confidence is so inflated when they play well, and because the big score is now 0-2 behind, this sense of crisis will not make them swell too much, so this kind of confidence is the safest and most powerful.

Walking into the arena from the locker room again, listening to the fanatical shouts on the spot, Xie Chen felt pressured, is this what it feels like to play away from home? Fortunately, the opponent was not a warrior knight, otherwise, Xie Chen might really be confused by these voices.

Xie Chen appeared on the court at the beginning of the third quarter, George Hill wanted to break through to the basket, but was slapped out of bounds by Xie Chen's chasing hat, but he was booed by the fans all over the court.

"Appeal ......"

The boos rose higher and higher, and everyone, men and women, young and old, turned their lips to Xie Chen, booed hard, and even booed a little boy on the spot.

"What an all-around point guard! Go to hell! Now you're still defending so desperately, go see the score, boy, you Heat are lost! ”

"Hmph, what is there to show off for a player who is shorter than himself? Looking at his posture, it seems that he still wants to chase the score back, what a greedy guy, want to win three of us in a row? Who you think you are! Even knights may not have this strength! ”

Xie Chen just struggled to block it once, but he didn't expect it to cause such a strong reaction at the scene, which shows how much the fans hope that the Pacers can win this victory. And Xie Chen is precisely the more exciting and powerful the person is, the more exciting the fans, the more crazy it will be for Xie Chen to play.

This time, the ball passed to Scola in his hand, and Scola relied on hitting the defenders, and at the moment when he was about to make a move, Xie Chen suddenly flew up, and then slammed the ball away!

Another cap! The Pacers' two consecutive offenses were blocked by Xie Chen!

The last time Xie Chen blocked the scene, it caused a monstrous boo on the spot, and this time, less than twenty seconds later, Xie Chen blocked again, and it was even more domineering than the last time, the fans at the scene no longer dared to boo, and the audience was silent with a block.

"It's scary...... What a horrible guy. Even Pacers fans have to admit that Xie Chen is terrible! How can a seemingly weak No. 1 position be so domineering!

But two fists are hard to beat with four hands, Xie Chen can't deal with a team alone, and in the third quarter, the mentality of the players of the Heat team has changed dramatically.

If in the first quarter, the Heat players still wanted to win this victory in one go and then sit back and enjoy the victory of the series, then now, everyone's hopes are all pinned on the next game. The reason is simple, the Heat are now two games ahead, there are opportunities, since this game is not good, then the next game is won, there is no need to work this game that is not very important to them.

Xie Chen glanced at Hassan Whiteside, glanced at Rohr Deng, and even Wade's eyes couldn't see the determination to turn defeat into victory, the more battle-hardened the veteran players are, the less important they are to win or lose, but Xie Chen, a rookie who entered the playoffs in the first year, is particularly concerned, if 3-0 can ensure the victory of the series, why give the opponent a chance to fight back?

The morale of the Heat is depressed, but the Pacers are getting more and more energetic, and the "Gao Yuanyuan" Hibbert, who has never scored highly, has also started to score continuously!

In the face of Hassan's defense, Hibbert's offense played very simple and decisive, and he squeezed his body and threw a one-handed throw, and in this quarter, Hibbert actually scored 6 points in a single quarter.

Hassan is very impatient, when competing for rebounds, he fought with Hibbert even more fiercely, a frontcourt rebound, Hassan and Hibbert wrapped their arms around their thighs and thighs, and the two jumped together, in this case, Hassan's explosiveness was severely limited, and he could only compare height and weight, Hassan lost to Hibbert in this regard, and was pushed far away by Hibbert's big hand.

Paul George was on the outside, the first to rush to grab the basketball, and then quickly accelerated to the empty basket!

I saw that Paul George actually used a dunk stunt that he hadn't seen for a long time in this fast break!

360-degree rotation dunk in the air!

The scene was completely crazy! Paul George staged this kind of difficult dunk for the first time since returning from injury! And now, the Pacers have an 18-point lead!

Heat, in crisis! (To be continued)

PS: The 2014-2015 NBA season is over, and our book has followed the real season all the way since the beginning of the book, and I believe that many book lovers are also paying attention to this year's NBA and this year's Finals.

In the last ten seconds, when James was going to leave as soon as the game was over, and when he shook hands with Curry and Kerr in advance, I thought the season ended perfectly, the Warriors slapped all the experts in the face, won the championship with long-range shooting, and a new era came, Curry got the rebound at the last minute and threw the ball high into the sky with excitement like Wade in '06.

No one denies James' greatness, but as I've said before, the success or failure of this year's Finals is crucial to his all-time standing, and we might as well come back to it three to five years from now.

James played an impressive number without Irving, and I'd rather give him the FMVP and give it to Iguodala no problem, but Curry didn't get the respect he deserved, and he didn't get a single vote out of 11, even though he nearly doubled his playoff three-point record.

Finally, to quote Yang Yi's words: A new era will eventually come, and all Curry has to do is wait.

In addition, next season is still a long way off, everyone is always paying attention to the super all-round point guard, and we start the next season in advance in the book! There's a super big surprise for next season! Especially for the old fans! R580
