At 5:47, 6.2 seconds before the end of the half, the Spurs finally opened the point difference between the two sides to double digits.
As Paul George missed a long shot, the half game ended.
The on-site reporter found Chen Feng. As the Spurs player who performed most eye-catchingly during the half of the game, the beautiful reporter naturally found him.
"Well, you were 11 points ahead at halftime, how do you think you did it?"
Chen Feng wiped the sweat from his head, took a few breaths, and said: "Before the start of this game, we made a thorough analysis of the Pacers' style of play, and we had made proper preparations before the game.
, and the most important point is that the current team is unprecedentedly united, and I am not surprised at all that we took a double-digit lead at halftime."
Chen Feng answered a few more questions from this reporter, and then dove into the locker room.
In the first half of the game, Chen Feng was physically exhausted. Although Stephenson's defense was not very good, Paul George's misplaced defense made Chen Feng really uncomfortable in the half.
Leading by 11 points at halftime, the Spurs are undoubtedly very successful. This season, the Pacers' defense is recognized as the strongest, but the Spurs still allowed 57 points on them, which made the Pacers' coach
Coach Vogel is very ugly.
"Damn, I didn't expect the team's defense to have no effect on them. That damn Chinese kid is so strong. Paul can't even guard him, hey..." Pacers head coach Vogel said in the locker room
, sighing helplessly.
In the home team's locker room, **Vicci was arranging tactics for the second half with the players.
"Our offense in the first half was very good, especially the three-pointer. In the second half, the ball needs to be passed more and moved more. Chen, Tony, your passing is very important." **Vicci said to Chen Feng.
.
Chen Feng nodded and said: "Understood."
"In the past few seasons, we have been a team good at three-point shooting. Now, we need to strengthen our three-point shooting." **Vic said.
As **Vic said, the three-pointer is their biggest weapon in tonight's game.
In the first half of the game, the biggest threat to the Pacers came from the Spurs' perimeter.
A terrifying seven-of-twelve three-point shooting percentage made Vogel almost go crazy on the sidelines.
…………
As soon as Chen Feng took the ball across the midfield, he saw three Indiana Pacers generals inside the three-point line, waiting for him eagerly.
Chen Feng smiled slightly. The ball was lobbed high into the paint. The ball was easily handed over to Derrick Favors.
At this time, only Roy Hibbert was left under the basket. Compared to his excellent offense and soft touch, Roy Hibbert's defense basically relied on his height, defensive awareness, and slow lateral footwork. He was
A more flexible center and power forward can easily pass by, and they are not very fast at covering up players who break into the paint. His wingspan is not long, so his number of blocks is not high. For Derrick Favors,
Not a threat at all.
His back was pressed tightly against Roy Hibbert, testing the stamina of the opponent behind him. When he felt the counter-shock force from his back and butt, he bent his left hand directly and pushed it with his elbow, creating a beautiful horizontal move.
Move and score easily with a wipe ball.
David West was in position to ask for the ball, and George Hill lobbed the ball inside. The former jerked back, squeezed Diaw away, and then dunked with both hands.
After David West dunked successfully, he beat his chest with both hands, and then sneered twice at Diaw. David West's actions completely angered the home fans, and the Spurs fans immediately criticized David West.
Steve responded with boos.
Derrick Favors took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post. The Pacers' inside line was stretched again, creating a one-on-one situation between Derrick Favors and David West.
Chen Feng did not hesitate at all. However, the one guarding him at this time was Paul George. With his lean body and long wingspan, he was like a big bat. Chen Feng did not dare to pass the ball from high altitude easily. With Paul George
-George bounces. Once the ball is not high enough, it is likely to be picked directly from the air by him.
However, the opportunity inside was fleeting. Although Paul George's defense was very tight, Chen Feng still saw a good passing route.
Chen Feng shook his upper body several times and suddenly moved his right foot half a step to the side. Paul George immediately became highly concentrated. He had already seen Chen Feng's starting speed. He could often complete the entire starting action in an instant.
In conjunction with the movement of his body, he switched the ball to his left hand. When redirecting the ball, Chen Feng's left hand suddenly stretched forward, and the ball bounced directly under Paul George's stride.
This move has been used many times before. It is specially used to deal with those who have strong individual defense capabilities. Iguodala also suffered from this move.
Feeling the breeze caused by the ball crossing his own space, Paul George quickly turned around to make a rescue. Unfortunately, Chen Feng's ball was very powerful and had already quickly appeared in front of Derrick Favors, firmly grabbing the rebound.
When the basketball reached his knees, his body suddenly reversed, and the huge force suddenly pushed David West out of the basket. He quickly raised his body and dunked the ball heavily into the basket.
Vogel simply had the urge to go crazy. Several Spurs players simply turned the entire Pacers around. The team's defensive focus was on the inside. Chen Feng and Ginobili fired consecutive three-pointers from the outside.
Once the focus of the defense shifts to the outside, no one can guard Derrick Favors and Duncan's strong play at the basket.
Seeing that the victory was about to run away from him, no matter how calm his personality was, Vogel's face became very ugly at this time. He was restless on the bench and exchanged opinions with his assistant from time to time. Unfortunately, he didn't see him on the court at all.
improvement.
Chen Feng broke through with the ball, and Leonard stepped forward to set up a pick-and-roll for Chen Feng. Chen Feng cast a look at Leonard and raised his lips slightly. Leonard, who is not stupid at all, understood immediately and headed towards the basket.
Run over instead.
After Leonard ran into the penalty area, Chen Feng threw the ball over the basket and waited to see if Leonard could seize the opportunity.
Leonard naturally would not let go of this opportunity to take revenge. When Chen Feng threw the ball over the basket, he had already jumped high and caught the ball in the air through David West.
, and then slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Ah", "clang", first a roar, then the sound of the basket groaning.
"Wow..." The audience burst into warm applause and cheers.
This alley-oop was very relieving. Leonard jumped down and looked at David West. There was no fear in his eyes, but only an unyielding fighting spirit.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Spurs put on substitute players. At this moment, the Spurs were already 18 points ahead of the Pacers, and the score between the two sides was 88:70.
Just ten seconds after Ginobili came on the court, he made a contribution for the Spurs.
Received a pass from Patty Mills on the baseline and hit a three-pointer.
After the Spurs replaced Chen Feng, Duncan and Derrick Favors, their firepower did not decrease much, but they played more smoothly.
Under the leadership of Leonard and Ginobili, the Spurs have blossomed more, especially Ginobili.
After the Spurs added Ginobili, a stable scoring point, the Pacers' defensive strategy had to change. Double-teaming Leonard had already made them stretched, but they didn't expect that the first person to benefit was
Ginobili.
Coupled with Ginobili's elusive passing, the Pacers are naturally even more difficult to guard against!
When Paul George made a save to defend himself, his ball was immediately handed over to Jordan Hill.
Jordan Hill beat Roy Hibbert and turned around for a fadeaway jumper.
"Shua", the ball hit the net. This skill was a little gift given to him by Duncan after he came to the Spurs!
After the third quarter, instead of narrowing the score, the Pacers made the point difference wider and wider. Now, the score between the two sides is 99:77, and the Spurs lead by 22 points. If there is no miracle, the Spurs
It can be said that the victory is guaranteed.
**Vicci sat in the Spurs dugout with a smile on his face. Even so, he still didn't dare to be careless at all.
Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, **Vicci still sent out the main lineup, but considering Parker's health, **Vicchi still chose to let Parker rest off the court.
The fourth quarter of the game. The Spurs' lineup on the field is: Derrick Favors, Tim Duncan, Leonard, Ginobili and Chen Feng.
The Pacers' field lineup is: David West, Roy Hibbert, Paul George, Stephenson and George Hill.
The first opportunity of attack in the fourth quarter came to the Spurs. Chen Feng held the ball and organized the offense.
When Chen Feng dribbled the ball into the Pacers half, George Hill came up.
His attention was always fixed on the beating basketball in Chen Feng's hands. His outstanding performance in stealing made him think more about stealing in defense.
However, with Chen Feng's ability to control the ball, unless he makes a mistake, very few people can intercept the ball from his hands, and his defensive method will hardly put any pressure on Chen Feng.
"Pa" and "pa", two rapid dribbling sounds made George Hill nervous. The degree of Chen Feng's combination of man and ball in controlling the ball made him frustrated and tried to steal several times.
There is nowhere to start.
The sudden acceleration of the ball control rhythm was a prelude to a breakthrough. George Hill's whole body immediately tensed up. With the ball in Chen Feng's hands, he kept changing his body's defensive posture.
A gust of cool wind blew across his forehead, and George Hill felt a chill in his heart. Chen Feng's right body suddenly spun on the spot at the moment the whole set of movements was completed, and the whole person rotated around him for one hundred and eighty degrees.
At this time, George Hill's center of gravity had already been adjusted to the left side with Chen Feng. Facing Chen Feng's change of direction, he had no room to react and watched helplessly as his opponent made a mid-range shot. (To be continued...
