The 18,000-seat Conceco Arena is packed today, and the Pacers have repeatedly performed well in recent years, and Indiana, which has a fanatical basketball atmosphere, is naturally even more enthusiastic in the arena, and Pacers fans are looking forward to the Pacers in their final peak to win the championship they dream of.

The Conceco arena turned into a sea of yellow and white, and for Pacers fans, this game was a must-win for them, Raptors? Can a team outside of the playoffs lose the Pacers? But they didn't know that if the Raptors at Xu Yi's pre-game press conference were to win, if they knew, there would be no cheers in the arena.

And Xu Yi is a little depressed now, at the press conference before the game, he was just going to see the reporters' reactions to the Raptors' three-game winning streak, but he put himself in it and ate the thick notebook? The cover still seems to be leather, which is scary to think about.

Now, Xu Yi has to work hard for the team's victory, after all, he doesn't want to eat that notebook and pull his stomach for three days and three nights. The Raptors' tactics have been arranged on the plane, and the starting lineup of the Raptors in this game is a bit defensive, Xu Yi chose to let Roger Mason as the starting point guard, let Vince Carter serve as the starting point guard, the starting small forward is Morris Pietson, the big forward is Don Yell Marshall, and the center is Chris Bosh.

There are two defensive players on the perimeter, apparently targeting the Pacers' star perimeter combination of Reggie Miller and Artest. As for the inside line, Xu Yi thinks that the combination of Chris Bosh and Don Yell Marshall is no worse than the combination of Jermaine O'Neal and Al Harrington of the Pacers, so the inside line only needs to explode each other, but the outside line must not be relaxed.

The game was a contest of tempo from the start, with Jeff Foster beating Chris Bosh on a jumper and the Pacers getting their first chance to attack. In this game, Xu Yi warned the Raptors' outside line early on, pay attention to defending Reggie Miller, don't ignore him because of the old Miller's age, shooters generally have a long career, and now Reggie Miller, although the average score per game has declined, but the superb shooting skills are still there!

However, at the beginning of the game, the Raptors somewhat ignored the defense of Reggie Miller, who made a three-pointer at the beginning of the game to teach the Raptors to behave.

Xu Yi had to abandon his demeanor, and as soon as he opened the game, he ran to the sideline and yelled at Morris Piterson, who was defending Reggie Miller, telling him to pay attention to Reggie Miller's defense, and at the same time asking Roger Mason to speed up the team's offensive end.

After more than ten days of training, the Raptors' offensive speed is already very fast, although the Pacers have been on guard, but when the Raptors run to the frontcourt, the Pacers' defense has not yet been settled.

After the ball passed halftime, Roger Mason passed the ball directly to Vince Carter, which is something the Raptors need to do when they don't have a pure point guard on the court, after all, Carter's playmaking skills are not even weaker than some point guards.

At this time, the Raptors' running position began, and Don Yell Marshall had a three-point range, and he directly mentioned the position of the three-point line and made a block for Vince Carter. And Chris Bosh on the inside also moved quickly, moving from low to high. Maurice Peterson raced from the bottom left corner to the bottom right, providing Chris Bosh as he went.

And at this point, Vince Carter found an opportunity, and Morris Piterson helped Chris Bosh to cover and successfully block Jermaine O'Neal's defense.

Vince Carter made a direct pass to the ground, and Chris Posh, who had already run to the high post, received the ball. At this time, Jermaine O'Neal and Jeff Foster, who were near Chris Bosh, panicked, but they remembered Rick Carlisle's high jumper that Chris Bosh specifically mentioned before the game!

The two rushed to Chris Posh, and just like that, the Pacers' defense collapsed in an instant!

Watching Bosh's light pass, opening up the space again, giving Vince Carter a chance to cut to the basket, Xu Yi was almost about to jump excitedly off the court.

In the last game, the Raptors designed core tactics around Chris Posh, and in this game, the Raptors reaped the benefits of having one more core, Vince Katter plus Chris Posh, and even the Pacers, who started with defense, were a little overwhelmed.

2:3, the Raptors are 1 point behind, but turning back, Morris Pietson has begun to defend Reggie Miller strictly, Xu Yi began to have a lot of confidence in this game, only the Raptors can contain Reggie Miller, the outside line only relies on Artest, and the Pacers cannot pose a threat to the Raptors.

The Pacers' second offense began to make mistakes, Reggie Miller was heavily guarded, and Artest rushed inside to get past the ball and tried to attack the basket, only to be pulled down by Carter halfway through.

For Artest, Xu Yi has also studied this player, the metamorphosis on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Artest has become a partial student, he will only take the ball and force the cut into the restricted area, as for the ineffective mid-range shooting and three-point, it is not something that the Raptors need to focus on.

Against Artest, the Raptors only need to focus on guarding against his forced cuts. So when Artest picked up the ball and rushed into the box, Vince Carter surrounded him and cut the basketball off.

Then, the Raptors' fast break came.

Vince Carter took the ball, like a wild horse, and went straight to the Pacers' halfcourt.

Most of the players on the Pacers' side have not yet reacted, only Artest immediately turned around and wanted to counter-rob after the ball was broken, but Vince Carter was very fast, Artest could only follow Vince Carter to eat ashes, and then watched Vince Carter jump up, hang on the basket, and complete a violent dunk!

If this was the Raptors' home game, the arena would have already resounded with thunderous cheers. Unfortunately, this is the home court of the Pacers, and Vince Carter's very beautiful dunk only drew a round of boos from the Conseco arena and a fierce invective from the Indiana.

Listening to this greeting to the eighteenth generation of women of his ancestors, Xu Yi felt sad for the Pacers, he thought of the upcoming Auburn Hills Palace incident next season, only from the abuse of this group of fans, the Auburn Hills Palace brawl can only be said to be deserved by the Pacers, although the scolding is not the Pacers fans, but the Pistons fans.

The game continued, the Raptors' fast break was methodical, and the Pacers moved the focus of the offense to the interior after the outside offense was blocked, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation.

However, the advantage on the court is still in the hands of the Raptors, at least the Raptors' offense is blossoming inside and out, and when the game is 5 minutes into the game, the Raptors opened up a little point difference, leading the Pacers by 7 points, which surprised many people who are not optimistic about the Raptors.

A team that had no tactics before, in the face of the Eastern super powerhouse, actually occupied the advantage on the court, and it is obvious how Xu Yi's transformation of the Raptors has been.

At this moment, Sam Amik, a reporter for America Today, has a complicated heart, and if anyone can peek into the depths of his heart, they will find that there are 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping there. A few of his peers sitting next to him looked at Sam Amik's trembling hands with a playful smile, and it was the thick notebook that he held in his hand.
