Chapter 134: You can take care of your head but not your butt!
"Jackson attacked and broke through to the left. Su Bei went to help defend. Jackson pulled the ball and hit hard. He faced the attack and threw the basketball away while moving. This shot selection was too random.
Bang-dang——!
O'Neal took off the rebound, passed the ball to Wade, advanced to the frontcourt, and settled into position for a positional battle..."
He continued to lob the ball to O'Neal, and after a quick hit, O'Neal Jr. could only come over to help defend. Stojakovic also wanted to copy Su Bei's work and rush towards O'Neal.
boom--!
O'Neal hit the ground with both hands, and the basketball flew into Su Bei's hands. He lifted the ball and swung away the rushing Stojakovic, dribbling the ball into the inside. Anthony Johnson rushed over to cover the defense. Su Bei lifted the ball and flew into the air.
With a flick, the basketball flew into the hands of Wade who cut through the air.
"Su Bei broke through, distributed the ball, and beat the Pacers' defense to one thing and another.
Wade came in, jumped up in the penalty area, faced O'Neal's block, and did not flinch. He held the blocker's hand with his left hand, and hit the basket with his right hand..."
Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
When Wade scored two points, the referee's whistle also sounded, calling O'Neal a foul, 2 1!
Swish——!
Wade is not like O'Neal, and he made the free throws steadily.
Looking back, he saw the Heat's zone defense holding firm, and Jackson broke through for a three-pointer and made a pull-up jumper.
His shot release point is very high, making it almost difficult for Posey to block shots.
Bang-dang——!
Jackson does have three-point shooting range, but it must be at the level of a three-point shooter.
He is good at taking heroic shots and has a big heart. After all, he takes too many shots and always hits some incredible three-point goals. This affects others' judgment of his three-point shooting percentage to a certain extent, thinking that his three-pointers are very good.
ox.
In fact, it is almost the same as Kobe. The difference is that Jackson has the attribute of convulsion, while Kobe has the attribute of killing.
"The basketball was lit up, and O'Neal Jr. picked off the rebound. There was no room for a tip-in. He dribbled out again, and it was Mourning's one-on-one defense..."
Peng——!
If one back-up didn't solve Mourning, how about two?
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, O'Neal chose to hit Mourning from behind, taking advantage of his physical advantage. Regardless of whether the fight was successful or not, it would cause damage to Mourning's body to a certain extent.
The series is not a one-game series. Haslem of the Heat was defeated by him, leaving only Antoine Walker. That guy is strong in offense and weak in defense. As long as the old guy is killed, the Pacers power forward position will be eliminated.
Wouldn't it become an impossible position to defend?
O'Neal Jr.'s situation is quite big. After becoming the boss, he knows how to use his brain to play.
"Mourning still withstood O'Neal and didn't let O'Neal run in. He shook his shoulders and turned around. O'Neal still pulled the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper...
Su Bei came over again, and O'Neal seemed to be prepared, without even looking, he threw the basketball behind him..."
Stojakovic received the basketball from outside the three-point line, and Su Bei turned back in panic.
Unexpectedly, Stojakovic threw the basketball back to O'Neal again. Su Bei was played in circles. It was extremely difficult to replicate the ball-stealing operation just now.
"Little O'Neal caught the ball and rushed up, took a sudden step, pulled the ball and turned around, jumped into the air, and bang -!
O'Neal Jr.'s athletic ability is too strong. He rushes to hit the basket. With Mourning's current physical condition, he really can't stop him."
…
"In the Pacers' offense, O'Neal Jr. has finished, and now it's Jackson's turn. This time, Jackson breaks through to the right. Wade also lets go of his defense on Anthony Johnson and uses a flanking tactic against Jackson. Against the defense,
Jackson stumbled but still put the basketball into the basket."
…
"O'Neal Jr. turned his back and faced the basket to break through, but was flanked by Su Bei again. This time O'Neal ignored the defense and chose to shoot from close range.
Bang-dang——!
Missed.
Facing the dense formation and flanking tactics, the Pacers' offensive efficiency is not very high..."
Off the court, Rick Carlisle looked gloomy.
The rhythm of the game was completely controlled by the Heat.
The Pacers' first and second leaders are attacking, and the Heat choose a flanking tactic. With the Heat's mobility, the offensive efficiency of their stars will definitely not be very high.
You said O'Neal and Jackson can share the ball?
Is that a competition for the quality of role players?
The Heat currently have Posey and Su Bei in their lineup. In addition to these two championship pieces, there are also Walker and Jason Williams who are in their prime years, as well as Payton and Mourning, who still have 10 minutes of All-Star fuel in the tank.
.
What do the Pacers have?
Stojakovic?
He can still be of some use in the regular season, but in the playoffs he is a softie who can shoot from the outside. The Heat have him in his hands, and the Heat should focus on him and let him shoot when his hands are not hot. With this level of offensive firepower,
Can you kill the Heat?
After seeing the situation clearly, Rick Carlisle chose to make substitutions, replacing Austin Crohill, Fred Jones and Danny Granger, and then began to delay the game, running out the game time in the second quarter.
With the score at a 4-point disadvantage, we entered the locker room to rest.
Rest for 15 minutes and come back for the second half of the game.
The Pacers have no recruits and can only beat five tigers.
Laili had too many cards and continued to make personnel adjustments, sending out O'Neal, Walker, Posey, Su Bei and Wade.
After seeing the lineup, Barkley sighed: "The Pacers and Heat are not on the same level at all.
The Heat's current lineup consists of two stars and three shooters, and they clearly want to cause trouble on the outside.
It is equivalent to a bright card. If the Heat open up the situation from the outside, the Pacers will have no choice but to take care of their heads and not their lives..."
The third quarter of the game begins.
Wade controlled the ball to the frontcourt and opened up the formation.
Seeing that the Pacers remained unmoved and still stood firm, Wade passed the basketball to Su Bei.
A rookie in Jiangsu Province, he will look at the right moment to make a three-point shot, break through, or shoot... giving him the feeling of being the axis of the triangle offense.
Walker can only take three-point shots, and Posey's shooting is unstable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Heat opened up. Su Bei picked up the ball on the right side and took a look. Stojakovic and Anthony Johnson came over to defend in the area...
Su Bei did not shoot, but passed the ball back. Wade broke through. The Pacers' defense continued to shrink, and Wade's pass came out again.
Su Bei caught the ball and he shot again..."
Swish——!
He flirted with the Pacers' defense...no, adjusted it a bit, and when he was comfortable, Su Bei shot out, and he hit the target steadily and drew blood.
The Pacers were determined to block the two bottles of poison in Wade and O'Neal, and they paid a heavy price for this.
Su Bei hit two consecutive three-pointers.
When the Pacers dispersed their defensive energy on the Jiangsu side, Walker's three-pointer also came.
In addition, Posey also hit a three-pointer, and the Heat started raining three-pointers from outside.
Before Rick Carlisle's adjusted tactics could be used, the Heat's outburst from the outside and a wave of offense caught him off guard.
They can only compete with the Heat in three-point tactics.
Stojakovic's three-pointers are indeed something. At the critical moment, he also hit three three-pointers in a row. It's a pity that it is difficult for him to beat four hands with two fists.
Jackson did not show the invincible style of the martial arts master who saved Artest from the crowd with one punch, but his three-point shot stretched his hips.
Buzz——!
The buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
According to the score, the Heat had a 17-point advantage and took a 1-0 lead in the first round.
…
O'Neal played 35 minutes, had rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, dominating the penalty area.
Wade played 42 minutes and scored 35 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. His performance was equally outstanding.
He came off the bench in the first game of the Subei playoffs and made 6 of 10 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 19 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds. Do you call this a role player?
Skojakovic scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Just looking at the data, he can beat Su Bei. Looking at it this way, Su Bei is still a role player.
O'Neal Jr. knocked down the rebounds, and Jackson scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Unfortunately, no one else on the Pacers scored in double figures. The loser was not the Big Three, but the role players.
