Chapter 274 The Twin Towers
The Miami Heat's backup power forward Udonis Haslem replaced the team's main center Joel Anthony, and "Dragon King" Chris Bosh had to come to the center position. Dunis Haslem is about five centimeters tall.Although Chris Bosh has never liked to play center, but under the current staffing of the Miami Heat, Chris Bosh has to play center.
As a result, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert's opponent was replaced by Chris Bosh from Joel Anthony, while power forward David West's opponent became weaker. "It seems that the only way to concentrate the ball is in David's hands." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
However, what promises to worry about most now is not offense, but defense.Although Promise kept his eye on Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers, making Mario Chalmers have no chance to shoot open three-pointers, the Miami Heat did not suffer too much for this. big impact. "Little Emperor" LeBron James handed the ball to "The Flash" Dwyane Wade after being double-teamed by Paul George and David West, Dwyane Wade Immediately after catching the ball, he displayed his unique "Misty Step", passed Danny Granger with one step, and appeared under the basket of the Indiana Pacers.
"Hey, it's really fast!" Roy Hibbert thought in his heart, and immediately moved quickly, blocking in front of Dwyane Wade.However, at this moment, Dwyane Wade had quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball from Roy Hibbert to "Dragon King" Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh dunked the ball immediately after receiving the ball.
Standing courtside, coach Larry Brown glanced up at the scoreboard above the court. His team now leads the Miami Heat by just four points at 57:53 with almost five minutes left in the third quarter. . "Be sure to keep the four-point lead before the start of the fourth quarter!" Coach Larry Brown said in his heart.
On the offensive end, Xu Nuo passed the ball to David West, who mentioned the high-post support, but did not continue to pass the ball to center Roy Hibbert.David West stands near the edge of the Miami Heat lane with his back to Udonis Haslem holding the ball.And promised to cover for Danny Granger immediately after passing the ball, helping Danny Granger get rid of Dwyane Wade's defense and run to the three-point line to receive the ball.David West immediately passed the ball to Danny Granger, and he quickly turned around and ran towards the basket.
Danny Granger's run and David West's cut drew most of the Miami Heat's defense, and just as Danny Granger was about to raise his hand to shoot, Dwyane Wade And Mario Chalmers two Miami Heat players rushed to block Danny Granger's shot.However, Danny Granger flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball came to Xu Nuo who was also standing outside the three-point line.At this time, Xu Nuo didn't have any Miami Heat players defending two meters in front of him, and Xu Nuo didn't waste this opportunity for an open three-pointer, and steadily sent the ball into the basket.
"It's so beautiful! It's really a promise!" The Indiana Pacers' bench was boiling. Relying on the promised long-range three-pointer, the Indiana Pacers once again led the Miami Heat by seven points.In the playoffs where every inch of ground is contested, it is quite difficult to catch up even with a one-point difference, let alone a seven-point difference.
After promising to hit this long three-pointer from the outside, "Little Emperor" LeBron James called the power forward Udonis Haslem, who was in charge of marking David West, to his side.
"Next we will pass you more passes, you must limit David West on both ends of the offense and defense!" LeBron James whispered to Udonis Haslem, "You know, in the In the attack just now, David West's high-level support played a very critical role!"
"I see!" Udonis Haslem nodded and said in a low voice.
Sure enough, in the next attack, LeBron James distributed the ball to Udonis Haslem after attracting double-teams, forcing David West to quickly turn back to defend.However, Udonis Haslem's mid-range shot, which he was originally very good at, missed the basket. Roy Hibbert immediately jumped high and received the backcourt rebound.
At this moment, coach Erik Spoelstra, the head coach of the Miami Heat standing on the sidelines of the court, touched his chin, but his eyes were fixed on Chris Bosh on the court. "Why doesn't Chris go for that backboard?" Coach Erik Spoelstra thought to himself.
At this time, the Indiana Pacers on the court had already launched a quick counterattack. Xu Nuo dribbled all the way to the right side of the court for the Miami Heat outside the three-point line, and then slowed down the pace of the game slightly to observe the running positions of his teammates.At this time, David West quickly came to the frontcourt, leaning against Udonis Haslem and quickly got to the position, promising to pass the ball immediately.
"Udonis, you must defend this ball!" LeBron James shouted to Udonis Haslem while struggling to get rid of Paul George's entanglement.
However, David West did not choose to single Udonis Haslem himself, but handed the ball to Roy Hibbert when center Roy Hibbert rushed to the frontcourt .Roy Hibbert jumped high immediately after receiving the ball, and took advantage of the empty basket of the Miami Heat to stage a one-handed dunk!
"It seems that the twin tower combination of David and Roy will start to join forces!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
Seeing his team fall further and further behind, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra stood up and called for a timeout. "Little Emperor" LeBron James spat out the braces in his mouth and walked towards the team's bench with a helpless expression.
"Maybe we just have to try other combinations." During the timeout, coach Erik Spoelstra said, "LeBron, you replace the position of the four, and the position of the three is replaced by Sean (Battier) is here to fill in. Since they are going to use the inside as the center to develop tactics, then we must also strengthen our inside offense! LeBron, although you are a few centimeters shorter than David West, but I I believe you can beat David West!"
LeBron James didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and put the braces back in his mouth.Fortunately, LeBron James' teammates are already used to this action of LeBron James, otherwise, that group of players is very likely to spit out the dinner they just had on the spot.
The Indiana Pacers did not make any personnel adjustments, and the two major insiders Roy Hibbert and David West remained on the court.On the first offense after returning from a timeout, LeBron James played David West with the ball and singled him back, playing as a small forward and a power forward to do what a center forward would do.Although LeBron James's turn is not bad, but the shot after the turn is outrageous, the ball almost got stuck on the neck of the basket, and then fell down.
Just when the inside players of the two teams were fighting to the death for this rebound, Xu Nuo jumped high and grabbed the backcourt rebound from the heads of the three inside players. "Fast attack!" Xu Nuo shouted.
Xu Nuo knew very well that if LeBron James took the fourth position, it would be difficult for David West to catch the ball and attack as easily as before. LeBron James' height, weight and strength are all comparable to David West West is evenly matched, and it is difficult for David West to get another position.At the center position, Roy Hibbert has already wrestled with Chris Bosh.The Indiana Pacers want to continue to attack, only to rely on outside shooting, and a quick counterattack after grabbing a rebound.
At this time, Xu Nuo had already dribbled the ball to the basket of the Miami Heat, but because of LeBron James' quick return to defense, Xu Nuo did not choose to score a layup by himself.Xu Nuo dribbled around under the Miami Heat's basket, but still couldn't find an offensive opportunity.At this moment, Roy Hibbert suddenly sped up, threw away Chris Bosh, and quickly came to the paint area of the Miami Heat, Xu Nuo immediately passed the ball in his hand.
"It's up to you, Roy!" Xu Nuo said loudly.
Although the defensive player in front of him was LeBron James, Roy Hibbert still pressed LeBron James to put the ball into the basket. At 64:53, the Indiana Pacers, playing at home, once again extended their lead to double digits with a 7:0 offensive climax.
"The lead of the Indiana Pacers has returned to double digits. This kind of game situation is quite favorable for the Indiana Pacers!" said the Indiana Pacers star who was a game commentator at the Conseco Arena Reggie Miller said, "If the Indiana Pacers can continue to maintain such a good state, it will not be a problem to win tonight's game or even win this series!"
And on the sidelines.Coach Erik Spoelstra, head coach of the Miami Heat, looked at his disciples on the court with his hands on his hips, his face full of helpless expressions.
"A difference of eleven points..."
