Chapter 154: Foul Tactics

After the substitution, both sides were the main attackers, and Beasley was particularly active after he came on the court.

In recent years, Beasley has been quite miserable, although he has always been a staunch core of the team, and he has a lot of shots and a lot of playing time in every game, but his results have been unstable, just like his jump ball, completely unreliable...... But this guy also likes jump shots, no, as soon as he came on the court, he started again.

After receiving Wade's pass, he shook his body and jumped directly 11 feet away from the basket, the effect was predictable, and he smashed it on the stomach of the basket, Zhang Kong's rebounding is not very powerful, although grabbing rebounds is related to physical fitness, but it is more of an ability to predict basketball, now Zhang Kong's bounce is good, but his rebounding awareness is really poor, unless the basketball, like this ball, bounces directly to his side, otherwise it is difficult for him to judge the ball.

jumped high, took the basketball into his arms, and then Zhang Kong didn't look at TJ Ford in the No. 1 position and attacked directly with the ball.

He can clearly feel this guy's hostility towards him, since you don't want to pass the ball to me, then I don't need to look for trouble, Zhang Kong's speed and dribbling are very good, after all, his preferred profession is PG, although he plays in any position.

After dribbling after half the court, Zhang Kong did not wait for his players to fall into place, and rushed directly into the encirclement, watching Zhang Kong rush over directly, the defensive lineup on the Heat's side instantly disrupted Zhang Kong, a mouse feces can break a pot of porridge, a Zhang Kong, can also stir up the Heat inside the world upside down, some point guards are very fast, like to break through, everyone will use a little mouse to describe him, saying that he is like a little mouse, playing several holes in the opponent's defensive lineup.

However, no matter how Zhang Kong looks at it, it has nothing to do with the little mouse, he purely used his own strength and speed to forcibly collapse the Heat's defensive lineup, and one person turned the Heat's defensive lineup upside down, watching Zhang Kong's assault, there were some old fans who knew basketball at the scene, and they couldn't help but nod, Zhang Kong's impact was too powerful, just when everyone thought that Zhang Kong was going to shoot.

Zhang Kong suddenly threw the ball behind him, and the basketball quickly appeared above the three-point line, and at this time a white figure had just fallen into place, Earl Watson looked at the basketball in his hand in surprise, and now Earl Watson is surrounded by a large Siberian wilderness, there is no one, how could Earl Watson let go of such an opportunity, jumped directly on the outside, and threw out three points! However, it is estimated that his three-point level is similar to Zhang Kong's, and he didn't score such a big empty three-point score.

But fortunately, Zhang Kong attracted the attention of a large number of personnel, and the rebound allowed Danny Granger to grab the bottom line.

Then he passed it back to Zhang Kong, who was about to make a sudden move, but just started, and sent the ball directly under Wade's armpit to the inside line.

Danny Granger, who hadn't left the three-second zone yet, got the basketball in an instant, and now he didn't have a single defender in front of him. Straight up and jumping, Richardson behind him had no way at all.

If it was someone with a clear mind, maybe this ball would have allowed Danny Granger to score, but his brain has never been very good. He pulled Granger behind him, but Granger didn't shoot, and the referee's whistle sounded.

"Fake!" Richardson raised his hand helplessly, and this was already his second personal foul.

Granger made two free throws and two hits, and the score came to 37-36, which was originally a great opportunity to chase points, but then the Heat suddenly changed their style of play, O'Neal Jr. began to wreak havoc on the Pacers' interior, and now Hibbert really has no ability to defend O'Neal Jr., and Murphy This guy has been floating on the outside, and defense is not the Pacers' strong point.

The score has been hovering between three-pointers and three-pointers, and with Wade's hit, the Heat's feel is slowly improving, and the Pacers' offensive efficiency is also very high because of the reason for making trouble.

The two sides presented two completely different game atmospheres for everyone in the second quarter, the first half of the second quarter was a defensive battle, the second half of the second quarter was an offensive battle, the offense on both sides was like a cloud of peers, speaking of the team's ability, it is obvious that the Heat is higher than the Pacers, O'Neal Jr. is 85, Beasley's level is also 85, Money's level is 81, Richard Lin also has a 79 level, plus Wade's 95 level, whether it is the starter or the bench, the Heat are one level higher than the Pacers.

But because of Zhang Kong's nonsense, it was a mess of the game, the last 4 seconds of the second quarter, Wade missed a jumper from 19 feet out, Murphy put the rebound into his arms, and then found Zhang Kong with a long pass, and now after they received the ball, the first choice has been slowly transferred from TJ Ford to Zhang Kong's body, after receiving the ball in the long air, he directly hit the basket, and turned around to jump at the last second, but unfortunately, his jump shot level, under the opponent's defense, was completely meaningless and missed.

At halftime, the Heat only led the Pacers by one point at 49-48, and the players on both sides returned to the locker room, and the head coach began to prepare for the second half.

"You want to hand over the ball to Zhang Kong to organize, TJ, your breakthrough is very good, but the accuracy of the ball is insufficient, it is better to let Zhang Kong organize, Zhang Kong, your biggest task in the second half is to hold the ball and disrupt the opponent's lineup, and then give the outside teammates the opportunity to create a vacancy, if anyone has a vacancy, don't hesitate, be sure to shoot! Do you understand? Jim O'Brien has now gradually put the focus of organizing the offense on Zhang Kong, and Zhang Kong understands this.

After all, the Pacers don't have a real person who organizes offense, their outside firepower is very strong, and Hibbert, a seven-foot-long man on the inside, is only a second-year freshman, but his style of play is very strong, and his offensive means are also very diverse.

Murphy on the outside (has anyone seen Murphy play on the inside?) And Granger is the main firepower output point, if Dunleavy is still there, then Dunleavy also has to be counted as one, as long as there is a good organizer to connect these pitchers with the strong players on the inside, in fact, the Pacers' firepower output is still very strong, there is MT (Hibbert) to carry the monster, there are so many DPS left, as long as there is another captain and support to string them together, it would be good, things are thought of very well, but it is not perfect.

As soon as the third quarter began, the Heat's style of play was completely different! The Heat, which had always been the main point of attack on Wade, instantly became a different look, the main point of attack was moved to the inside line and handed over to O'Neal Jr., who hit directly after the opening and reopened the score to three points, and then the momentum of the Heat seemed to have changed again, and Wade was once again for the main point of attack.

But the position of the main offense is still the inside line, speaking of the outside line, the Pacers are not scared, after all, there are Granger and Zhang Kong who are stunned on the outside line, and they are not afraid of them, but if they play the inside line, Murphy's defensive ability is worrying.

After all, Hibbert is not Howard, and even if it is Howard, it is difficult to avoid being beaten into a sieve on the inside when the outside line is not strong. What's more, it was Hibbert, when Wade began to hit the inside again, Zhang Kong also left a cautious eye.

The third quarter of the game has just played more than a minute, Wade is already the third time to break through with the ball, the first two times let Zhang Kong end up without a problem, the third time, the inside O'Neal Jr. finally came out to Wade to block and dismantle, Changkong took a step ahead and dodged O'Neal Jr.'s block, and Wade was just as he thought, and did not shoot on the outside, but rushed directly into the inside.

In front of Roy Hibbert, Wade wanted to go to the basket, although he shook off Hibbert, a sophomore rookie, but let Zhang Kong, a sophomore rookie, come to a trick Yellow Sparrow behind, and directly slapped the basketball on the rebound, but before he could jump, Wade jumped up first, put the basketball back into his arms, and then passed directly to O'Neal Jr. behind him.

After receiving the ball, O'Neal Jr. did not hesitate, and hit a jump shot directly, pulling the score apart again...... "Coach, they are starting to attack the inside, they have to find a way!" Earl Watson looked at Jim O'Brien next to him and whispered, how does Jim O'Brien not know what the other party thinks, but what is the use of him knowing?

Now there are only two defensive backbones in the entire Pacers' starters, one is the outside defensive core Zhang Kong, and the other is the interior defensive core Roy Hibbert, and they can bite the score tightly in the second quarter, also because of Hibbert.

Hibbert controlled the rebounding ball very well, and when Murphy was almost not wandering around, he perfectly solved the Pacers' rebounding problem, and now the Heat is looking at Hibbert's point, so they began to attack continuously.

Jim O'Brien was trying to figure out a way, but the solution was not so easy, and finally when the game was three minutes into the game, Michael Beasley hit the basket again, watching Beasley jump, and Hibbert jumped with him.

But in the midst of Hibbert's surprised expression, Beasley's hand holding the ball hit his arm and cheated on the foul!

Those three words flashed through Hibbert's mind...... This kind of deception and foul play is particularly common on the court, and he hit it again this time! The moment the referee's whistle blew, Roy Hibbert also slapped his head helplessly.

"Let's change people!" There is no way to get Hibbert to play on the court anymore, because he has already committed four fouls, and in order to ensure rebounding in the final quarter, he can only be put off the court now, and without the interior pillar, the Pacers' side is in trouble.
