"Bang, bang," the huge dunk sound resounded throughout the entire arena. The entire basket was also vibrating violently, and George's body also fluctuated.
"Bang," Spoelstra's media frowned as the basket once again rejected a Heat player's shot.
Seeing his teammates wasting their opportunities again and again, the game is almost halfway through the first quarter, and the Pacers, playing away from home, are leading 16:9, especially the boos from the fans just now, which makes the smug LeBron
-James, determined to change his way to defeat his opponents.
LeBron James retreated with his right foot while walking, leaving only the figure of No. 6 in front of Paul George's eyes. The target he was marking was no longer within the reach of his eyeballs.
Roy Hibbert's slow steps gave LeBron James enough time to choose a jump shot. However, his breakthrough posture did not change at all. When the two bodies were about to come into contact, LeBron James' body was slightly outside.
Just in time to avoid Roy Hibbert's defense, the Pacers' basket was already empty.
"Ah..." With a roar, LeBron James was like a flying roc. Under the eyes of more than 20,000 home fans, he soared high with the power of heat, vigorous and powerful.
With your right hand, raise the basketball high above your head.
"Bang," the deafening sound of the dunk shocked the fans.
LeBron James, after being cheered by the home fans, used an amazing dunk in just ten seconds, completely changing the atmosphere on the court.
At this time, the Heat's momentum undoubtedly overwhelmed their opponents.
The Pacers' attack was fruitless, and LeBron James grabbed the defensive rebound and dribbled the ball down the floor.
He forcefully took off outside the three-second zone and rushed up to meet David West's slap without looking back. His super ability to stay in the air made his movements in the air seem extremely relaxed and freehand. It was just a slight sideways movement, and it was already easy.
Avoiding the opponent's defense, he gently shook the ball with his wrist and dropped it into the net in the opposite direction of the basket.
Stephenson broke through with the ball and made a wonderful pass to Roy Hibbert in the high post. The latter caught the ball and shot a jump shot directly. I thought the ball would go in steadily, but what I didn't expect was that the basketball spun several times in the hoop.
After that, it actually popped up again, and Chris Bosh grabbed the defensive rebound.
LeBron James' precise three-pointer from a 45-degree angle from the right wing finally allowed the Heat to tie the score.
In these two minutes, LeBron James seemed to become the all-powerful scoring champion.
He became an all-powerful scoring machine, scoring 7 points by himself, beating the Pacers 7:0 and tying the score.
It's not like James. He seems to have become like Kobe and Durant!
When Stotts saw this, he quickly called a timeout.
…………
The first quarter of the game was smooth. At the end of the game, the Pacers temporarily led the Heat by 2 points at 29:27.
The performance of the core players of both sides was average, but the role players were very outstanding. Chris Bosh only got two shots in the first quarter, Stephenson made 2 of 5 shots, and Ray Allen was quite active as a substitute, making consecutive shots.
He scored seven points with penalties, and for the Pacers, Roy
- Hibbert became the first point of fire, making three of four shots. Two of them were three-pointers. After Stephenson's three-pointer, he seemed to lose his shooting feeling all of a sudden. All three shots missed, and George became
He was the team's coolie, with 7 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal.
The expressions of the two head coaches were not good-looking. The tactics they had worked so hard to come up with ended up in failure. The Heat's offensive setbacks and the Pacers' defensive loopholes exposed pushed the two teams to the next level.
An embarrassing situation, but Stotts was in a better mood at least. Both of the Heat's leading stars were in trouble.
Looking at Stephenson who was breathing heavily, Stotts made a new decision in his mind. As the second quarter began, Paul George continued to play.
The Heat have also made adjustments to their lineup. The five players on the court for help are: Birdman Anderson, LeBron James, Ray Allen, Wade and Cole. This is the response lineup to the Pacers, with three speed players.
A forward player with a relatively wide position, active running, but there were a lot of loopholes inside. However, in the first quarter, Anderson basically did not get the support of his teammates, so those loopholes naturally disappeared.
The Heat's lineup changes had an immediate effect, and LeBron James' isolation ability gave the Pacers a headache.
Watching LeBron James appear and disappear from the basket again and again, George felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. The Pacers' already unstable inside line was already shaky due to his impact.
"Both teams are difficult to play. The Pacers' weakness is the point guard line; the Heat's weakness is the interior. Hey, it's not that easy to win the championship."
Looking at the situation on the field, Chen Feng murmured to himself.
Although he was texting and playing with Emma, he also kept watching the game between the two sides.
"Bang", Birdman Anderson dunked with both hands, ignoring his teammates who stepped forward to congratulate him. After Birdman Anderson succeeded, he raised his clenched fists above his head and roared to the sky. In fact, it is no wonder that Birdman Anderson was so emotionally disturbed.
For fifteen minutes, Birdman Anderson was completely frozen in the paint by the Pacers. Several tentative passes from his teammates were either intercepted or destroyed. Instead, the Pacers seized the opportunity and made several successful passes.
Fast break.
However, Stotts didn't seem to notice that starting from the second quarter, Birdman Anderson became a lot more active under the basket. Although he didn't have many chances to get the ball, he created several opportunities for his teammates in a row. The Pacers' advantage
But it disappeared little by little.
The Pacers passed the ball five times in a row and never got a chance to take a shot. Paul George forced a shot near the free throw line, but the arc of the ball was a bit high and it hit the back edge of the rim.
"Backboard" roared, and several sturdy men quickly rushed into the paint, focusing entirely on the basketball spinning in the air. Birdman Anderson, a player picked up by the Heat, performed very well, with his arms spread wide.
Block the two Pacers players firmly behind you.
LeBron James once again appeared under the basket. With the assistance of Birdman Anderson, he grabbed the most advantageous rebound position. The Heat players saw the rebound falling into his hands, and the players near the midfield were already preparing for a fast break.
Already.
"Ah..." Amidst the exclamations of the audience, LeBron James only felt a strong sound of airflow behind him, and a slightly white palm appeared above his head.
Turning his wrist, a huge force pressed down on the top of LeBron James' head, almost suffocating him.
Fans in the "Kangdang" Arena jumped up from the bench. LeBron James is 203 centimeters tall, and with his excellent jumping ability, George took advantage of him. The height in the air was half an arm higher than him.
, a powerful one-handed dunk once rode LeBron James, and even Birdman Anderson was pinned under him.
George's dunk boosted the Pacers' morale. The Heat players are still a little distracted. The Pacers went on a 7:2 lead before entering the first official timeout.
Everyone on the Pacers bench stood up and greeted George one by one. They were excited to watch the ball just now. If the substitute players hadn't been unable to play, they would have already rushed forward.
"Well done." Stotts also stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder happily. George has always been his most assured player. He always knows how to do the right thing in the right place. Sometimes he even replaces him.
assume the responsibility of his own coach.
After the official timeout, the Pacers activated their usual lineup, Roy Hibbert, David West, Paul George, Stephenson and Watson.
Birdman Anderson's activeness in the interior temporarily solved the team's weakness in the interior and activated the Heat's offense. Even though the Heat's players were absent-minded just now, they still succeeded one after another.
"Humph" grunted, and Watson staggered. Fortunately, his reaction was sharp and he took several small steps before he managed to stop his body.
Ray Allen suddenly appeared and knocked Watson out from the side. He just passed Cole, and his body's center of gravity had not yet been adjusted. He was lucky to not fly out of bounds after receiving such a violent impact.
The referee called a defensive foul against the Heat, but Birdman was obviously dissatisfied with it for Ray Allen. He chased after the referee and kept describing the actions just now, while talking non-stop.
"Dip", another technical foul.
When Watson stepped to the free throw line, the crowd booed. This is what the home fans know when to do.
"Whoa" a rainbow flew over, bringing up a wave of white waves, and the wave of boos reached its peak in an instant.
The Heat have obviously strengthened their defense, especially George. As long as the ball is in his hands, at least two players will step forward to double-team. George doesn't care much about these. The more defensive players he attracts, the more teammates will beat him.
The easier it is, it's just that the Heat's defense has strengthened, and the defensive players' small movements have also increased significantly.
Stotts saw the clues and immediately asked other players to take the initiative to respond. The commentator on the scene also saw the problem. Although he could not make as effective adjustments as Stotts, he could also explain his own situation in the commentary box.
view.
The referee saw the fans' boos and protests in his mind, but there was nothing he could do about it. In his opinion, although the Heat's defense was a little rough, it did not conflict with the court regulations.
