In the sixth minute of the game, Vince Carter used a three-pointer to help the Raptors extend their lead to 10 points, and Rick Carlisle decisively called a timeout.

When he saw Rick Carlisle pulling AlHarrington and saying something, Xu Yi knew that the Pacers were going to make a substitution, and it was Alharrington, an inside line with an outside feel.

From this substitution, it can be seen that Rick Carlisle is worthy of the name of the coach, and he has noticed that the Pacers' outside offense is in trouble, so he replaced Alharrington to strengthen the Pacers' offense. Although Xu Yi predicted the adjustment of the Pacers in advance, he didn't have much to do, and after thinking about it, the adjustment he could make now was actually to replace an outside defender and put Jalen Rose or Rodstrickland.

However, Xu Yi thinks it's better to wait and see what the situation is after the Pacers' substitution, and then consider the substitution.

The Pacers made substitutions, and the Raptors didn't make any adjustments here and continued to play with the strongest lineup.

But then, Alharrington's arrival allowed the Pacers to turn the game back into the game, as the Raptors had to allocate some defensive attention to Alhallton, and that was enough for the Pacers to open up the game on offense.

Alharrington's outside firepower was exactly what the Pacers needed, and in the final minutes of the first quarter, Alharrington made four consecutive shots near the three-point line, hitting three of them. The Raptors' defense apparently overlooked AlHarrington, which directly helped the Pacers equalize at the end of the first quarter.

Xu Yi looked a little helpless, all this happened in the last minutes of the first quarter, but fortunately, it was time for the sub-quarter break, and he had enough time to respond to Rick Carlisle's adjustments.

Xu Yi didn't have many cards in his hand, or compared to Rick Carlisle, Xu Yi didn't have any cards in his hand, and after the Pacers replaced Rick Carlisle, Xu Yi could only make adjustments according to the substitution plan he thought of in the first quarter.

The substitution plan that Xu Yi came up with in the first quarter was to replace Morris Peterson or Roger Mason with Jalen Rose or Rodstrickland. The purpose of this adjustment is to completely abandon the Pacers' perimeter defense and strengthen their offense. Jalen Rose could provide the Raptors with a third consistent point of offense, while Rodstrickland could make the Raptors' offense more fluid.

Xu Yi thought for a while, the starting lineup had been on the court for a quarter, and most of them were a little tired, and it was true that they could be replaced by both.

'We made substitutions, Rod came on for Roger, Jalen came on for Morris. In the second quarter, we gave up defense and went all out! Xu Yi decided to give up defense, and in fact, after Roger Mason and Morris Pieterson went off the court, the Raptors didn't have much defense to speak of.

In the second quarter, the Pacers, who had more cards in their hands, chose to make another substitution, replacing Reggie Miller, who did not perform well in the first quarter, with dunk king Fred Jones, and replacing Jamar Tinsley with veteran point guard Kenny Anderson.

However, Xu Yi observed the state of the players on the court, and he found that Reggie Miller, who was replaced by Rick Carlisle, had changed the light above his head from the yellow light in the first quarter to an orange light, obviously feeling coming. Rick Carlisle replaced him, which is good news for the Raptors.

However, Kenny Anderson's pale red state above his head is better than Jamal Tinsley's golden yellow state.

After Xu Yi observed, he found that the overall state of the two teams is about the same, the Pacers have Kenny Anderson and Jermaine O'Neal, and the Raptors also have Donyer, Marshall and Vince Carter.

In fact, Xu Yi is also a little depressed now, the state of the Raptors has not changed much, from the beginning of the game to the yellow state, and now there are only two red states, the Pacers are in good shape, even Reggie Miller on the bench, and the center Blazek who has been sitting on the bench, but the Pacers are players with 4 red states.

However, Rick Carlisle does not have a plug-in to check the status of the players, otherwise the Raptors would not have to play in this game.

In the second quarter of the game, the Raptors attacked with all their might, and the Pacers were also full of firepower, and the two teams played a tie in the second quarter, and after halftime, the two sides were 67:68, and the Pacers led by 1 point, and the gap was very small.

However, in the second half, the Pacers began to exert their strength, and they replaced the main force, and at the beginning of the third quarter, Artest first stole Vince Carter, played a steal and fast-break layup, and scored two points. Then Reggie Miller returned, hitting three three-pointers in a row with a fiery touch, and the Raptors trailed by 7 points at the beginning of the third quarter!

Compared to the beginning of the first quarter, the situation seems to have turned around.

The Pacers fans on the sidelines shouted excitedly, and the atmosphere became hot, and the Pacers played a wave of small ** during this time, which made their momentum all out!

However, Xu Yi is not in a hurry here, because he found that the state of the Pacers' interior line composed of Jermaine O'Neal and Jeff Foster is about to fall into a blue light, and during this time, the Pacers' outside line is running wild, and the Pacers' interior line can't even keep up with the offensive rhythm, and the state naturally declines significantly.

So Xu Yi decisively changed the focus of the offense and began to storm the Pacers' interior.

Chris Bosh began to exert his power, Xu Yi also chose to make substitutions, and his compatriots who only played once under Xu Yi got the opportunity to play again, and he was absolutely able to help Chris Boshka come out with enough space. And Morris Peterson also played, because Xu Yi knew that he would definitely have to defend the outside of the Pacers at this time, after all, the Pacers are only on the outside now.

The Raptors made unhurried substitutions, they waited for the outbreak after the substitution, and Sam Amick on the sidelines was not calm, he had been worried about life or death before, when the Raptors had the advantage, Sam Amick fell into despair; When the Pacers and Raptors were tied, Sam Amic was nervous.

And just now, the Pacers are 7 points ahead of the Raptors! Sam Amick's hanging heart was immediately put down, and at the same time, the whole person became more active, constantly communicating with his peers around him, he felt that with the state of the Pacers, the Raptors didn't want to play the court back.

And this adjustment made by Xu Yi was not taken to heart by Sam Amik. The reason is very simple, the Raptors' tactics are very physically demanding, and their substitutions are very frequent, so the replacement of two people in a row is naturally not taken to heart by Sam Amick.

But then! After the Raptors changed their style of play, Chris Bosh exploded, he was in the high post and Vince Carter passed the ball directly to Bosh.

Bosh turned around in a high position, took a step back, and actually shook Jeff Foster away. Jump shot, unguarded, naturally successful!

And then, Jalen Rose and Vince Carter, who hit the inside, were not to be outdone, and the Raptors stared at the Pacers' interior and bombarded wildly, and in just a few offenses and defenses, the difference was erased!

Sam Amik's heart was galloping through with grass and mud again, but Xu Yi was standing on the sidelines at this time, shouting loudly to speed up the pace of the attack! Xu Yi knows that the Pacers' two interior lines can't always be in such poor shape, or Rick Carlisle finds that his two interior lines are in bad shape, and he won't let these two continue to play all the time, and the Raptors obviously don't have much time left.

They have to speed up their attack and get the biggest lead in the shortest amount of time.

Vince Carter rushed inside, Jermaine O'Neal was stupid, he didn't react! Vince Carter completed a dunk very easily, and the Raptors were already leading by 6 points! Just now they were seven points behind! ”

Beep beep~! The referee's whistle blows, and the Pacers take a timeout!

Sure enough, just as Xu Yi thought, Rick Carlisle decisively called a timeout, and the next thing may be the adjustment of the Pacers, but I think the Pacers will not directly replace the two interior players, so the Raptors should still have a chance.

"We're still going to hit the inside, with Jermaine O'Neal and Jeff Foster, and of course, if they're still there! I think Rick Carlisle will replace one of them and we'll just have to keep an eye on the other one, understand? ”

"Understood!" The Raptors will shout, at this time the game has reached the most critical juncture, Xu Yi knows that as long as Rick Carlisle only replaces one of Jermaine O'Neal and Jeff Foster, then the Raptors can directly end the game in the third quarter!

Sure enough, the referee beeped, the Pacers made a substitution, and Jermaine O'Neal, who had just performed even worse, went off the court, and Al Harrington came on.

Next, it's time for the Raptors to keep an eye on Jeff Foster's indiscriminate bombardment.

Sam Amik didn't want to watch the game anymore, and he saw the Pacers make another substitution, so he craned his neck to see something different from the Pacers.

As a result, what he saw was that the Raptors had one easy scoring opportunity after another on Jeff Foster, and before Rick Carlisle could react, he directly widened the gap to 15 points!

Then, it was the end of the third quarter, and Rick Carlisle had just reacted as they faced a tougher battle in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Xu Yi's strategy was very simple, that is, to drag the Pacers, anyway, the Raptors had a 15-point lead, if the success rate of the offense was played, he believed that the Pacers would not be their opponents, at least the Raptors' lead would be won by them.

In the end, under the Raptors' delaying policy, they won this hard-fought game by 12 points!
