Although Mike Brown has won two All-Conference Coach of the Year, he is still more than a notch behind those old fritters, and if they were those old fritters, they might have a way to ruin the Pacers' hand.

There are many teams in the league that rely on shooting to play, such as the current Pacers, Warriors, Suns, Thunder, etc., all rely on shooting to attack, and the easiest way to win them is to destroy their feel! Just like the original Suns playing spurs, although the Suns started to attack very strongly, but as they played, they would find that they had no feeling.

This is the Spurs' Po Povich's stunner, he can easily make the Suns' hand disappear, the Jazz's Sloan faced the Warriors who entered the second round of the playoffs in 07, and was not shot to death by the Warriors like the first Mavericks in the league at the beginning, but pressed the Warriors to the floor, and also used this style of play, the old coach Sloan can easily crack the Warriors' hand, and the current Pacers can be regarded as the most shooting-type team in the league except for the Warriors, Those veterans don't want to play against the Pacers in the regular season, but the Cavaliers love to do it.

They're addicted to being number one in the league now, so they need to take out the Pacers and prove that they're the boss of the league! But even at home, it's not so easy to break the Pacers' touch.

Just in the time of Mike Brown's hesitation, the situation on the court has deteriorated, with Zhang Kong and Deng Tai Jones' joint offense has taken effect, the shooters on the Pacers' side began to be outstanding, first Murphy received the ball and hit the shot, and then Granger, with Hibbert's blocking, dunk successfully, Zhang Kong After this person shot a three-pointer, he willingly became the team's ammunition outlet, this is Zhang Kong, when the team's players have a hand, he himself does not like to shoot.

The threat of one person will never be greater than that of a team, and when all the people on the Pacers' side are fully open, the defense on the Cavaliers' side will be messed up, the offense is not like the offense, the defense is not like the defense, and the Cavaliers are scattered!

Looking at the score on the court, which has been stretched from 15-10 to 21-12, from 5 points to 9 points, Mike Brown finally couldn't sit still, and just as he was about to get up and call a timeout to relieve himself, JJ Hickson on the inside suddenly did something stupid.

He may also have played a circle, and directly slapped Zhang Kong, who was already vacant to go to the basket, from the air, of course, just hit his hand, but Zhang Kong's layup still didn't go in, but he won two free throw opportunities, standing on the free throw line, Zhang Kong took a deep breath, took the ball and gently pushed the ball out, but maybe the first ball was a little unsure, and the basketball collapsed directly.

Seeing that Zhang Kong's free throw was missed, and he was still grinning and rubbing his little hands at that time, an image instantly popped up in Mike Brown's brain, Zhang Kong! Rubbing your hands? Feel! Foul? These words took shape in his mind.

"Pause!" After Zhang Kongkong sent the second ball out, Mike Brown had already called a timeout.

"I know how to crack the feel of the Pacers!" Seeing his players gather, Mike Brown's face showed a hint of a dark smile, and seeing Mike Brown's smile in the distance, Jim O'Brien over there also felt a chill in his back.

After the timeout, everyone understood the meaning of Mike Brown's smile, foul tactics! It's a shame that he came up with it.

When they saw that all the rest of the players on the field were substitutes except for James, everyone was stunned.

Foul tactics, once also known as shark hacking tactics, are the former head coach of the Mavericks, the current head coach of the Warriors, the old Nelson invented, that is, the use of foul tactics against O'Neal, reduce the chance of 'shark' shooting, because free throws are O'Neal's dead hole, so after the shark tactics, although he got the opportunity to make free throws, but the possible surname of the hit is very small, the word shark cutting has been reported in the media when O'Neal was still playing NCAA, which can be described as an old tactic.

But no one really plays foul tactics on the Pacers' players, because the Pacers' team is full of sharpshooters, even Zhang Kong, who is soft on free throws, now has a free throw shooting rate of 80, 8 of 10 shots, that's for sure.

In such a situation, they even dared to use foul tactics, even Zhang Kong was a little confused.

They successively sent Granger, Dundee-Jones, Murphy, Zhang Kong, and Hibbert to the free throw line, and among these 10 free throws, the Pacers hit nine of them, instantly pulling the score away.

What exactly does your manager play? The original 9-point gap was now stretched to 14 points in an instant, but Mike Brown didn't say stop, even James didn't dare to change the coach's meaning privately, so he could only continue to foul the players there.

In just five minutes, the Pacers made 14 of eight fouls and 16 free throws.

However, before everyone goes to the free throw line, they will involuntarily rub their hands, after all, this is hitting the back of their hands, it hurts! Even Zhang Kong felt a little painful, Jim O'Brien off the court couldn't help frowning when he saw the opponent's offensive mode, such a foul tactic is almost lethal for the Pacers, except for making the home team's hand more painful, there is no other feeling, but in order to protect his subordinates, Jim O'Brien thought about it for a while, or replaced the substitute players, only Granger remained on the court, and the rest of the players returned to the bench.

On the Cavaliers' side, the main players who had been resting for five minutes were all on the court at this time.

The main force against the bench, naturally the Cavaliers have the advantage, but just now the Pacers' main force against the bench during this period of time, has stretched the lead to 16 points, with three minutes left, naturally not afraid of the Cavaliers to chase points, although I don't quite understand what Mike Brown means, but the main players of the Cavaliers are still very aggressive after they come on the court.

Before the end of the first quarter, they trailed the Pacers by nine points at 38-29 and heading into the second quarter! It seems that there are only 9 points, but in fact, this point is not easy to chase, the Pacers got 16 free throw opportunities in the first quarter, not only the pressure on the Cavaliers' side, but also the pressure on the referees! Because these whistles are blown by them, the referee's heart is sudden, the whistle on the Pacers' side is naturally gone, at the beginning of the second quarter, or the main force against the bench, after a round of chaotic battles, the Pacers' lead has been slowly eroded, at the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers played a wave of 9-0 small **.

In one fell swoop, the 9-point gap was chased back, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Watson and Dunleavy stood up and hit two three-pointers in a row, pulling the score back again, and then the two sides began a tug-of-war, and the head coach of the Pacers side off the court, Jim O'Brien has always been there thinking about the tactics of the Pacers, obviously Mike Brown's tactics he has seen through, although the free throw score growth is relatively stable, but it is relatively slow, especially sometimes the referee will not judge.

Especially when the Pacers have been given 16 free throws in the first quarter, in the next game, maybe the referee will not blow so the Cavaliers, so that if the opponent fouls again, he can't get effective free throws, and the score will naturally not be too high.

And the bench group playing the Cavaliers on the court, against the opponent's main force, will definitely not be pleased, now Mike Brown and his Cavaliers seem to be at a disadvantage, but when the Pacers have no way to get free throws, and the offensive means are also disrupted, it is still unknown whether they can withstand the Cavaliers' offense! Now the ball has been kicked back by the opponent.

Jim O'Brien is not a famous coach, but his mind is always spinning, looking at the situation on the field, he also made up his mind, since such a positional battle, will be disturbed by the other party, then play fast! It wasn't until there was an official timeout with 8 minutes and 50 seconds left in the second quarter that Zhang Kong returned to the court with Hibbert, and Dundee Jones and Murphy were still resting off the court.

The Pacers re-played the lineup they played a few days ago, after Zhang Kong came on the court, the Pacers' offensive speed immediately increased by more than one level, and quickly impacted the lineup of the opposite Cavaliers, Zhang Kong launched the outside Granger, which triggered a series of offensive postures when he just came on the court, after hitting two consecutive shots outside the three-point line, Hibbert hit a shot on the inside, and the speed of playing was extremely fast, and the Cavaliers were a little difficult to keep up with the opponent's offensive rhythm for a while.

"Pay attention to defense, defend the outside, and if you can't do it, you will foul!" Mike Brown yelled at his disciples from the sidelines.

But the foul tactics are not bad when dealing with positional warfare, because he can catch people, but the effect is obviously too good in the face of running and bombing. Zhang Kong's speed is very fast, and the pace is even faster with the pacers who have been used to running and bombing for half a month.

Usually the ball has just been sent out here, and they have already rushed through the half court and faced the basket directly.

Once Zhang Kong's dry pull out of three points, it only took five seconds to attack, such an offensive speed is already helpless!

"It's not good!" Mike Brown touched his big bald head and muttered with a sad face.
