Chapter 244: Tactical Attrition

This time, the substitute players did not distinguish the winner or loser, both sides performed well, and the difference was still 5 points when the main team returned.

However, with the return of the main forces of both sides, the Pacers changed their tactics, Paul George no longer defended Li Hao, Paul George's defense was indeed excellent, but the effect in the first quarter could not be said to be none, it could only be said to be minimal.

As far as Li Hao has no shortcomings in the offense now, Paul George can't defend it at all, since he can't prevent it, then he simply doesn't defend it, in the basketball game, isn't the side that wins in the end the side that scores more?

That's right.

When it comes to offense, the Pacers' backcourt is strong in offense and weak in defense, but the Lakers' side is not bad, Wade is also strong in offense and weak in defense, as for Li Hao, if you really want to talk about it, it must be stronger in offense than in defense.

In the NBA, there are not a few who rely on defense to start out, but there are a few like Leonard and Butler, and most players still rely more on offense.

……………………………………………………….

Looking at Jeff Tig who stopped in front of him, Li Hao threw the second three-pointer of the game at the top of the arc, completely ignoring its existence.

Jeff Tig has been working defense, but this has no effect, not to mention the ten-centimeter height difference between the two, even the ricochet is several levels worse.

So when Li Hao shot in front of Jeff Tig, all Jeff Tig could do was look up and despair.

After watching Li Hao widen the gap with a three-point shot, Paul George immediately returned the color and retreated with a feint to dodge Ingram's three-point shot.

However, in the next wave of offense, the Lakers pulled the difference back to 8 points, or Li Hao, or Jeff Teague, or directly hit a jumper from outside the three-point line.

The Lakers don't mind playing against their opponents, but Paul George must return to Li Hao, although this will make it more difficult for Li Hao to score, but this is also a drain on Paul George.

Defense is very physically demanding, and the biggest reliance of the current Pacers is Paul George, so only by consuming Paul George as much as possible to ensure that he loses physical strength in the end, then the Lakers have a good chance of winning this game.

As for Li Hao's physical fitness, there is really no need to worry, as far as Li Hao's physical fitness of 95 is concerned, Li Hao said that he can spend a day with Paul George.

After Li Hao hit two three-pointers in succession and a layup after a strong burst, Paul George had no choice but to return to Li Hao, and Li Hao, who saw that his goal had been achieved, immediately switched to assist mode.

Ingram, Wade became the biggest beneficiary, there was Turner Saidys Young on the inside, Yi Jianlian and Randle didn't take advantage of anything, especially Turner, maybe Turner is not an excellent basket protector, but he is indeed an excellent defender.

Since the inside line can't take advantage, then you can only find opportunities from the outside, not to mention Wade, whether it is against Jeff Tig or Ellis Wade, he can score, and Ingram has height and armbands.

Ingram is 206 tall and has a huge advantage against Jeff Tig and Ellis, who are less than 1.9 meters tall and in their early 1.9 meters.

In fact, Ingram played his best game since entering the NBA, scoring frequently with Li Hao and Wade attracting energy, scoring a team-high 12 points at the end of the second quarter.

That broke Ingram's half-high score, and even shy of his game-high by just one point, yes, Ingram's 13 points against the Jazz in all three games.

Ingram's 13 points against the Jazz was also because the Jazz couldn't play, plus Li Hao and Wade were almost pinned down as defensive players, and Ingram had a better chance.

The same goes for this game, even better than against the Jazz, where Jeff Teague and Ellis just can't get enough to watch.

By the end of the second season, the Lakers extended their advantage by 11 points to 69:58.

……………………………………………………..

Paul George has worked hard, but the offense needs to be entangled with Ingram, Ingram's defensive ability is really not good, but Ingram's defensive attitude is absolutely no problem, so Paul George is on offense

The consumption is not small.

But the real big head is still in defense, since Paul George returned to Li Hao, Li Hao has not stopped for more than three seconds, in addition to being able to run, this product also likes to engage in physical confrontation, which makes Paul George very uncomfortable.

It should belong to the relationship between East and West, the Lakers and Pacers have only played twice in a season, and Li Hao has only joined the league for one or two seasons.

Paul George himself was seriously injured in the first season, and the two did not have a meeting, Paul George returned last year, but when Kobe Bryant retired, Paul George was busy saying goodbye to his idol, and there was time to pay attention to Li Hao.

"Damn," Paul George, who returned to the locker room, clutched his slammed chest and cursed.

On the other hand, Li Hao is actually not much better, although Li Hao will not be injured, but the pain is still there, and the so-called injuries in the system refer to those injuries that affect the game.

……………………………………………………..

Soon after half-time, the fans had returned to the stands after going to the toilet and buying new snacks, and the twins had returned to the pitch.

The ball is still the Lakers, Li Hao holds the ball and starts directly after crossing the halfcourt, but this time Li Hao's LOGO three points were not successful, but even if it didn't work, it scared the Pacers out of a cold sweat.

Although the LOGO three points are only three points, they are still a little different from the ordinary three people, that is, they can better hit the morale of the opponent.

As for failure, it will also affect the hit rate, after all, it is so far away, it is normal not to score.

Switching offense and defense, Paul George held the ball again, and this time it was Li Hao who stood in front of Paul George, and it was obvious that Li Hao was ready to speed up the consumption of Paul George.

Li Hao's strategy was right, after Li Hao strengthened the confrontation with Paul George, Paul George's physical energy did deplete faster, and Pacers head coach McMillan had to be replaced by Paul George with 4 minutes and 31 seconds left in the third quarter.

If he could, McMillan didn't want to replace Paul George, but there was no way, before being replaced, Paul George had three consecutive shots that were not heavy, and the discerning person was the impact of excessive physical exertion.

Paul George's consumption is large, and Li Hao's consumption is not small, but compared with Paul George, Li Hao's physical fitness is better, and his teammates' performance is also more powerful.

Wade scored 20 points at the end of the third quarter, Ingram added 16, and for the Pacers, Jeff Green had just seven points at the end of the third quarter and Ellis had 11.

After Paul George was replaced, the Lakers took the opportunity to extend their lead, although it was not big, but if you add the original point difference, it would be very impressive.

Although Paul, who had a four-minute break, appeared at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he still couldn't really help the Pacers change their lives under Li Hao's entanglement.
