Chapter 273 Adjustment
At the beginning of the second half, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown made decisive adjustments, replacing the original main shooting guard DeMar DeRozan with backup small forward Paul George, appearing at the small forward position On, while the team's original main small forward Danny Granger withdrew to the backcourt as a shooting guard.Coach Larry Brown did this mainly to free Danny Granger from fighting with "Little Emperor" LeBron James and let Paul George deal with "Little Emperor" LeBron James.
Perhaps it is precisely because of facing the "little emperor" LeBron James on both ends of the offense and defense, Danny Granger did not play well in most of the first half of the game, and even for a long time Li can only sit on the bench off the court and watch his teammates fight with opponents on the court.In the first half of the game, Danny Granger only scored eight points, and only made two long three-pointers from the outside and two serves.
After coach Larry Brown replaced DeMar DeRozan with Paul George, Danny Granger, who came to the shooting guard position, was replaced by "The Flash" Dwyane Wade.Although "The Flash" Dwyane Wade is not an easy master to deal with, but compared with "Little Emperor" LeBron James, Danny Granger has the height in front of Dwyane Wade. As well as physical advantages, Danny Granger will play more easily.
Another tactical adjustment made by Coach Larry Brown lies in the interior.Whether it is the Miami Heat's main center Joel Anthony or the backup Dexter Pittman, compared with the Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert, the difference is not a grade at all.However, in the first half, the Indiana Pacers rarely gave the ball to Roy Hibbert inside.And coach Larry Brown's tactical adjustments to the inside are mainly on center Roy Hibbert.
On the offensive end, coach Larry Brown asked the other players of the Indiana Pacers to try their best to give the ball to the inside center Roy Hibbert and let Roy Hibbert go to the center of the Miami Heat.On the defensive end, coach Larry Brown asked Roy Hibbert to double-team "Little Emperor" LeBron James at any time.In the first half of the game, the Indiana Pacers rarely double-teamed LeBron James. Even if LeBron James once scored seven points in the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers did not double-team him. folder.However, in the second half of the game, the double-team defense against "Little Emperor" LeBron James officially started!
On the offensive end, Xu Nuo handed the ball to the inside center Roy Hibbert according to the arrangement of coach Larry Brown.What the Indiana Pacers players didn't expect was that Roy Hibbert had just received the ball and was immediately double-teamed by the Miami Heat.Center Joel Anthony, power forward Chris Bosh and small forward LeBron James joined forces to surround Roy Hibbert. "There is no other way, send it back!" Xu Nuo shouted to Roy Hibbert.
Roy Hibbert raised the ball high above his head, looked at his teammates for a moment, and then threw the ball towards Danny Granger.In order to avoid the ball being intercepted by Dwyane Wade, Danny Granger jumped up and took the ball from the air.Just as Danny Granger got the ball, Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers, who was standing in front of Xu Nuo, dropped Xu Nuo and rushed towards Danny Granger .Seeing this, Danny Granger passed the ball immediately, and the ball came to Xu Nuo.
"Hey, they actually made such a serious defensive error..." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, raising his hand to shoot.However, at this moment, Danny Granger's voice suddenly came from Xu Nuo's ear: "Xu Nuo, be careful in front of you!" He rushed over by himself, raising himself high to block his shot.So Xu Nuo specially adjusted the shooting arc, letting the ball avoid LeBron James' raised arm and fly towards the basket.
"Go in!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, but the ball hit the basket's neck and bounced high.Chris Bosh grabbed the backcourt rebound over David West.
"It's probably because LeBron James interfered with the shot just now, so I couldn't make it." Xu Nuo thought in his heart as he quickly returned to defense.
It was precisely because of the timely return of the Indiana Pacers that the quick counterattack of the Miami Heat failed to play out. Dwyane Wade had to control the rhythm of the game and let the team fall into a positional battle.After the "Little Emperor" LeBron James took the ball from Dwyane Wade, Paul George and Roy Hibbert immediately formed a double-team defense against LeBron James.LeBron James failed to force a breakthrough, so he had to choose to pass the ball.Center Joel Anthony received a pass from LeBron James and turned around for a dunk.
At this moment, David West suddenly jumped high, straightened his arms, and firmly nailed the ball in Joel Anthony's hand to the backboard.The ball made a loud "bang" when it hit the backboard, and then flew out.Xu Nuo immediately jumped up high and put the ball in his arms.
"It's really rare that David can make such a defense!" Coach Larry Brown, who was sitting on the Indiana Pacers coach's bench beside the court, thought, "If Roy Hibbert blocks the shot I would never be surprised by what Joel Anthony said, but David West made such a block, it can only show that David's state is getting better and better now, which will be very important to our future games favorable!"
Coach Larry Brown was thinking so off the court, and the Indiana Pacers on the court had launched a quick counterattack.After promising to dribble to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Danny Granger, who was on the fast break together, and he quickly made an empty cut towards the Miami Heat basket, and Danny Granger immediately passed the ball back promised.However, the promise of receiving the ball did not choose to attack by himself, but quickly passed the ball to center Roy Hibbert who followed closely behind him.Roy Hibbert ignored Dwyane Wade in front of him and directly faced Dwyane Wade's defense for a dunk!
"Roy actually dunked on Dwyane Wade's head!" Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller, who was a game commentator at the Conseco Stadium, said loudly, The quick counterattack of the attack will arouse the fighting spirit of the players, and repel the enemy in one go!"
As Reggie Miller said, Roy Hibbert's dunk inspired the fighting spirit of the Indiana Pacers players, making the players equally oppressive on the defensive end.When the "Little Emperor" LeBron James got the ball, Paul George and Roy Hibbert double-teamed LeBron James again, this time LeBron James did not pass the ball to center Joel Anthony, but passed to "The Flash" Dwyane Wade.Dwyane Wade gets the ball and immediately sprints into the Indiana Pacers paint.
"Hurry up and make up the defense!" Xu Nuo shouted at the two inside players of the team.
And seeing Dwyane Wade come in, Roy Hibbert and David West formed a closed defense near the free throw line before the promise's voice fell.However, with a slight flick of Dwyane Wade's wrist, the ball passed through the defense and into the hands of power forward Chris Bosh.Chris Bosh, who also didn't get too many offensive opportunities in the first half of the game, immediately poured the ball into the basket with both hands after getting the ball, venting his depression.
In the next offense, Xu Nuo still insisted on handing the ball inside, using center Roy Hibbert and power forward David West as the team's offensive arrows.And Roy Hibbert also gave full play to his advantages, shooting three consecutive shots under the defense of Joel Anthony.Although David West and Chris Bosh are barely equal, at least David West will not suffer too much in front of Chris Bosh.Therefore, relying on the excellent performance inside and the double-team defense against LeBron James, the Indiana Pacers at home once again extended their lead to six points in the first half of the third quarter.
"Looks like it really can't go on like this!" Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after Roy Hibbert scored his third shot against Joel Anthony's defense I thought in my heart, "At least, Joel can't stay on the court anymore, and he should send an inside player with better defense." Coach Eric Spoelstra thought so, turned his head and looked at the The bench, and then eyes fell on veteran Udonis Haslem.
"Udonis, you are one of the captains of the team and the spiritual pillar of the team. Therefore, the defense of the inside will be handed over to you!" Coach Erik Spoelstra said to Udonis Ha Slem said, and Udonis Haslem nodded, took off his sports jacket, and came to the technical stage to get ready to play.
So, coach Erik Spoelstra made the first substitution adjustment of the second half of the game, replacing the main center Joel Anthony with backup power forward Udonis Haslem.
"I'm starting to adjust too!" Coach Larry Brown, who was sitting on the bench of the Indiana Pacers off the court, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Udonis Haslem who was walking on the court.
