Chapter 105: Wang Cannon's Counterattack!
After the discomfort of the first game, the Heat slowly found their rhythm, and the combination of the Big Three is far more than the civilian configuration of the Pacers in terms of lineup.
So as soon as the game began, the Heat immediately took the initiative, and Wade and James took turns to play the Pacers, almost out of breath.
Although the Pacers still have the advantage in rebounding, the Pacers' two interior lines, Hansbrough and Hibbert's ability to attack on the inside are a little weak, Hibbert is still very young, and there may be room for improvement in the future, and Hansbrough has been like this for almost his life.
Soon, the Heat took the initiative, and with six minutes left in the first quarter, the Heat had a 13-point lead over the Pacers at 23:10.
Today's Pacers' core player Danny Granger's hand is very average, and he missed several consecutive shots, although this player is very good, with All-Star level strength, but he does not belong to the category of the league's top superstars, and yesterday's amazing table Xiàn was completely because of good luck and good hand.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Spoelstra replaced Haslem and put Wang Cannon on the field.
Haslem's role on the court is very obvious, and the veteran who has played in the NBA for many years has the experience of blowing up the king cannon, and he knows exactly what to do when and when. But compared to Wang Cannon, Haslem's defensive strength is still much, after all, it is still much, much worse, if Wang Cannon can effectively protect the backcourt rebounds after playing, then the Heat can win this game safely, although this is only the first quarter.
Seeing Wang Cannon on the field, the fans on the court suddenly formed two different reactions. Some fans cheered for Wang Cannon. It is believed that Wang Cannon's appearance on the court can further expand the advantage of the Heat, but another part of the fans affirmed. Judging from Wang Cannon's table in the last game, his appearance on the court may provide the Pacers with some opportunities to turn the tables. After all, there was no Wang cannon just now, didn't the Heat also play very well?
Wang Dacang had no time to care about what the fans at his home stadium were thinking at this moment, and all his attention had been focused on the field.
"Come on!" Wang Cannon roared angrily in his heart, and the result of the last game really made him a little angry. "This is the time for my king cannon to fight back!"
The game continued, due to Granger's poor hand in this game, Wang Cannon did not need to defend him, so the radius of Wang Cannon's defense on the inside line was much larger than in the previous game.
The Pacers' interior two, Hansbrough and Hibbert, are both limited to the outside of the box, and perhaps Hibbert is a little further away. But it's not far from there, and there is no pressure on Wang Cannon to defend either of the two.
Except for their height, they are not better than themselves in any aspect!
After Wang Cannon came on the court, the Pacers did not deliberately attack the interior, after all, Wang Cannon, the best defensive player, was still there, and they didn't dare to take the risk of trying how strong Wang Cannon's defensive ability was in front of him.
The Pacers' tactics were mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll, and the executioner of the shots was Granger. The Pacers didn't give up on letting Granger and wanted to use a lot of shots to get Granger back to his touch.
It's just that at this time, Granger's hand is still average, and after the basketball flies to the basket, it snorts on the basket with a "bang".
Wang Cannon's eyes lit up immediately. The ability to rebound at full value allowed him to spot the basketball in an instant and stand there for the first time.
But almost at the same time, Wang Cannon found that Hanslim and Hibbert were on his side at the same time. Jumped up almost at the same time as himself.
"Where's Bosh?" This thought flashed through Wang Cannon's mind, and then he immediately left it behind. Wang Cannon knows that he can't rely on anyone now! You can only rely on yourself!
After Hansbru and Hibbert jumped. Like a hot dog, he sandwiched the king cannon in the middle, and at the same time, Hansbrough's elbow was very dishonestly stuck on the shoulder of the king cannon, preventing the king cannon from jumping up and down.
"It's as dirty as ever! However, "Wang Cannon roared violently, his whole body was completely tensed, and the strength of 99 full value and the full value of 99 bounce were burst out by him in an instant. "I'm going to jump higher! Higher, higher! ”
Hanspur and Hibbert only felt a powerful force rushing towards them, and their bodies in the air could not effectively control their balance at all, and they were directly knocked away by Wang Cannon.
Wang Cannon is like a bird that has broken through the obstacles of rushing into the sky, spreading its wings and soaring into the vast sky!
Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, Wang Cannon landed on the ground safely, and at the same time, Hansbrough and Hibbert landed at the same time, and both fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?" Both of them raised their heads in extreme shock and looked at Wang Cannon in disbelief, but the scene of them looked like two people were looking up at a king.
At this moment, the king cannon held his head high, no different from a proud king!
"Holy! What a beast the king cannon is! James Wade and Bosh, who reacted half a beat slower just now, and didn't have time to help Wang Cannon in the position, were stunned to see the scene in front of them, and they were able to force them out of the way with their own strength, no, it should be said that they knocked away two strong interior players to grab the rebound, and it is estimated that Wang Cannon is alone!
In an instant, the audience fell silent, and less than a fraction of a second later, the deafening cheers almost shook the American Airlines Arena into the sky!
The fans are cheering for the return of their defensive gate king cannon, this is the king cannon they are familiar with, the king cannon that has been opened!
"It's time to fight back!"
At the same time as the cheers rang out, Wang Cannon also threw the basketball out, and Wade, who received the pass, quickly got down and connected with James to a perfect Janeway, and the Pacers' defenders were played by two people, and there was no way to do it.
Watching his players on the field high-five each other in celebration and listening to the cheers of the fans on the field, Spoelstra couldn't help but laugh. In this game, the Heat have already won! No! It should be the whole series, and the Heat have already won!
Sure enough, although the first quarter is not over yet, the Heat has completely taken the initiative, Granger has been unable to find his touch for a long time, the Pacers' two interior lines can't take any advantage in front of Wang Cannon, and the Pacers have given up the game early at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Because the scores of the two teams at the beginning of the fourth quarter were 98:69, the 29-point difference made the Pacers completely confused.
Both sides switched to the bench in the fourth quarter, and the Pacers recovered a little bit of points due to the excellent play of rookie Paul George, but the 29-point pit is too big, and some teams may not get this score for the whole quarter, not to mention that the Heat are still scoring?
In this game, Wang Cannon grabbed 20 rebounds, and got 8 points, 4 blocks and 4 steals at the same time, and the number of jù was vaguely at the previous level, while James and Wade scored 28 and 24 points respectively, Bosh also scored 20 points, and the Big Three combined scored 72 points, which is definitely an unsolvable combination. Granger, the core of the Pacers' side, had a poor hand today and ended up scoring just 18 points.
In the end, the difference between the two teams was locked to 112-97, and the Pacers lost the second game, but they still had the advantage because they won one of the two games at the Miami Heat's home court, and the next two games in Indiana, the home of the Pacers, if the Pacers could use the home-court advantage to win the Heat two games and return to Miami with a score of 3-1, then the victory would undoubtedly be much easier.
Of course, this is obviously impossible, even at home, the gap in team quality is still irreparable.
On April 22, the Heat flew away to play Game 3 of the first round series against the Pacers.
When it came to the Pacers, the Heat players were immediately greeted "warmly" by the Indiana Pacers fans.
"I didn't expect the Pacers fans to be so enthusiastic! I always thought that the basketball atmosphere here was average. Looking out the window of the car holding "Heat back to Miami!" Pacers fans of other brands, Wade and James were a little surprised. What makes them even more different is that among these brands, there are even more for the two of them than for Wang Dacang alone. "Wang Cannon, they don't seem to welcome you!"
"Holy!" Wang Dacang rolled his eyes and looked out the window at a fan holding it high. "Wang Cannon, go eat!" And so on, and so on, speechless.
Wang Cannon doesn't remember what he said to provoke Indiana?
Wang completely forgot about it, and at halftime in Game 2, he was interviewed by a reporter who asked the question of what to think of the Pacers' two interior lines. Wang Dacang's answer is that the rebounding ability of these two interior lines is average, and the offensive ability is also average, and they are doing a good job of small actions on the court, so they learned from their manager Bird, right?
This is completely the words of hatred that have long been forgotten by Wang Cannon, he has forgotten, but the fans in Indiana can't forget it.
"How dare you say that our proud interior double-tower rebounding offense is average, and only makes small moves? Dare to hack Bird, whom we admire? This king cannon is simply looking for death! Be sure to let him know we're awesome! That's what Pacers fans all think.
That's why they're so targeting the king cannon.
Wang Cannon, who was forced by the second force, didn't know that he had offended the fans of a city with a sentence that he didn't care about, but if you think about it carefully, there seem to be many cases where he offended the fans because of a sentence, and it is really not bad this time.
