Bulls pause!

"As long as SUN has the ball, the opponent will cover him, and then, SUN will reduce the ball and let our big man respond in the high post, and the others will cover Sun Xiaotian and the pitcher to create space......" Thibodeau used the timeout to set up the tactic.

Thibodeau replaces Gibson and brings on Lee, with a lineup of one big and four small.

……

Hinrich controlled the ball, handed it to Noah after crossing the halfway, and then handed it to Li, and at this time Sun Xiaotian used the cross cover of Butler and Ruhr Deng on the bottom line, and came out, Li broke through a step and gave Sun Xiaotian a homeopath, Sun Xiaotian did not pause after receiving the ball, and jumped up and shot directly, and George, who did not let go at this time, jumped up and blocked with all his strength.

And then the egg!

The ball had a high arc, but it still went into the net obediently.

104 to 104!!

Sun Xiaotian's catch-and-shoot jumper was very elegant, and he was extremely fast from receiving the ball to shooting, feeling that he received the ball in the process of jumping, and adjusted his posture in the air to shoot.

The on-site commentator also shouted "Incredible!" ”

With 35 seconds left in the game, the Bulls leveled the score again.

Coach Vogel called a timeout to set up the final attack.

"Next, we need to come with a wave of suffocating defense, and the initiative of the game is in our own hands......"

After the Pacers served, the Bulls' stance became a "two-three" defense. There is a saying on the basketball court: good defense is always more defense in local areas, no matter how the ball flows, do not leave empty space for the opponent.

Sun Xiaotian and Hinrich stood outside the three-point line, and the other three players were in defensive positions close to the basket.

This tactic can be very effective when the majority of the opponent's scoring comes from under the basket, as most of the players need to defend the area close to the basket, and the big men (center, power forward, small forward) usually don't leave this area. This defense is very unsuitable for opponents who score most of their points from outside the 3-point line. Offense can easily get rid of defenders from beyond the 3-point line and get plenty of open shots.

This tactic can be said to be tailor-made for the Pacers in this game, and it is a good defensive tactic.

Throughout the game, Hibbert and West's twin towers stirred up the Bulls' insiders. Hibbert had 18 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks in the game, while West had 24 points and 9 rebounds, not counting the 14 points and 7 rebounds of the Pacers' bench interior gangster Marcinmy in this game. The three insiders combined for 56 points and 32 rebounds, accounting for 53.9 percent of the team's points.

Although the Bulls' Noah, Boozer and Gibson also combined to score 42 points and 27 rebounds, they were still at a disadvantage in comparison, and Noah and Gibson both had 5 fouls, and Boozer also had 4 fouls.

In addition, the Pacers did not perform very well from beyond the three-point line in this game, with the exception of Stephenson's 5-of-7, the rest of the team only hit two in total.

……

Hill crossed the halfway line to give the ball to George, and Hibbert stepped forward to cover for him, and the cover was excellent, and as soon as George stepped into the three-point line, Sun Xiaotian and Noah suddenly flanked him. George hurriedly retreated, and when he was about to pass the ball, Noah quickly returned to his position. It turns out that Noah's bag is just harassment, and his central task is still the guardrail box.

George took two steps back and signaled for a singles, and in front of him stood Sun Xiaotian.

It's time to find out.

The whole game, both men were screwing. So far, George has 27 points and 6 rebounds, and Sun Xiaotian has 24 points and 9 assists.

George tried to drag the time as much as possible, and when there were 7 seconds left in the offensive time, George broke through from his left hand, which he was not very used to, and saw that the first step did not pass Sun Xiaotian, so he changed to his back body, only dribbled the ball twice, and turned over to shoot.

Although George's shot was very high, Sun Xiaotian judged George's shot in advance, jumped with all his strength to block, and the tip of his right finger actually touched the ball.

"What? It's so high......" George was secretly unhappy.

George immediately jumped up to grab the ball, but the moment Sun Xiaotian touched the ground, he jumped again, took the ball into his arms, and quickly called a timeout.

The on-site commentary amazed Sun Xiaotian's continuous jumping ability.

There are 15 seconds left in the game.

……

Back in the game, the Pacers also sacrificed a "three-two defense".

Three-two joint defense is aimed at defending those who play the ball fast, there are three points on the periphery, these teams are generally weak inside attack, so the small forward is mostly liberated to be placed in the middle, and the inside player is on both sides of the three-second zone, once the opposing team breaks through the small forward, it will retreat, forming a two-three joint defense, and the small forward is easy to cause the opponent to break through the player in the middle and hit people with the ball. At the same time, when the opponent uses the three-point shooting tactic, the peripheral players keep running to prevent the team from moving the ball quickly. This formation can also play actively, with small forwards and scoring guards on either side of the perimeter, and the interior can go crazy on the fast break when they get rebounds.

The Bulls shot 50% from three-point range in this game, with 10-of-20, so the Pacers focused on the Bulls' long-range shooting.

……

At this time, the Bulls abandoned the point guard, Sun Xiaotian controlled the ball to the top of the arc, Lee and Butler were on the left and right wings, at this time, Noarti covered for Sun Xiaotian, and Ruer Deng fell to the right low post.

Sun Xiaotian did not hesitate, he gave the ball to Butler on his right, a cross step to launch a feint, but he did not stick the ball too much, and the ball was moved to the bottom corner, and Butler himself quickly cut to the basket.

Ruhr Deng wanted to pass the ball back to Butler for a layup, but Stephenson kept harassing him. Butler then went through the basket to 45 degrees on the weak side. At this time, Sun Xiaotian rotated from the top of the arc to the right 45 degrees, and Li, who was previously at 45 degrees on the left side, was rotated to the top of the arc due to the arrival of Butler.

Previously, after Noah was waiting for Butler to complete the basket at the free throw line, he saw that Butler didn't get the ball when he cut inside, and Noah immediately cut into the basket from the strong side to receive the pass from Ruhr Deng.

Although the Pacers' defensive formation was not chaotic during the whole process, but with Noah's cut into the basket, the right area of the court has formed a way to play more and play less, with a two-on-one offensive opportunity, Ruer Deng and Noah faced Ma Simmi, Ruer Deng gave the ball to Noah for the first time, and after Noah received the ball, Hibbert, who was originally defending Noah, also came from a high position, and worked together with Masimi to wrap Noah, and Noah took advantage of the situation to give the ball to Ruer Deng in the bottom corner.

Lu Erdeng wanted to shoot, but George, who defended Sun Xiaotian at 45 degrees on the right side, quickly made up for the defense, and Lu Erdeng shook his hands to Sun Xiaotian, who was already empty.

It's too late for Masimmi to make up for it.

Sun Xiaotian hit a three-point open-handed shot!!

There were only 1.4 seconds left in the game.

107 to 104!! The Bulls overtook the score.

The Pacers called a timeout, and then looked at George, as if in remorse.

After hitting the three-pointer, Sun Xiaotian was excited, clenched his fists and roared, and jumped up and hit his chest with his teammates on the bench to celebrate.

Although the Pacers used multiple people to block and dismantle after that, George had a shooting space, but he made a hasty shot and missed the shot.

The Bulls took the risk to win the game!!
