Chapter One Hundred and Seven Battles
From the beginning of the game, Joni and Reggie Miller showed each other their hot touch. Reggie Miller hit a mid-range shot under the interference of Joni one step later, while Joni threw away Reggie Miller at a super fast speed and got the opportunity to take the open position, which also hit.
Then, the two started a running battle without the ball. The Pacers attacked. Reggie Miller continued to run. He suddenly turned around while moving quickly, shook away Jonny who had been following him, and then opened his hand to ask for the ball. Jonny's reaction was also very fast. He immediately braked and turned to defend. After Reggie Miller took the ball, he was calm and calm. After raising his hand and making a fake move to deceive Jonny to jump and interfere, Reggie Miller drove another ball and took action calmly.
With a swish, the ball entered. From the beginning of the first quarter to now, Reggie Miller has only missed 2 goals and made 5 of 7 shots, which is very efficient.
When it was the Magic's turn to attack, Joni returned a ball without hesitation. After running without the ball, he quickly bypassed Ronnie Secali, and used Dale Davis, who was backing up the defense, to add a second pick-and-roll to Reggie Miller. Joni, who received the ball, also took a quick move, a three-pointer with a very high arc! He took the ball and hit it without any surprise.
The two of them fought one-on-one in a row, and almost no one could defend against each other. The scores of the Magic and Pacers rose staggered, and they continued to perform like this. With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Richi Adubatu finally couldn't stand it anymore. Although the Pacers are not teams that can be easily sent, the progress of the game is still different from what Richi Adubatu thought. After all, it has been almost two quarters, and the score difference has been changing between 2 points and 3 points. Sometimes the Magic is still behind, which makes Richi Adubatu, who is determined to determine the victory as soon as possible, is anxious.
Especially Ricci Adubatu can actually find a good way to deal with the current situation, so he called a pause.
"Jonny, your defense is too bad. Leggy Miller will be left to Doug to deal with it. You can concentrate on the offense." After the players on both sides came out, Ricci Adubatu said his thoughts straight to the point. It was really that Jonny's defense was too bad. If Doug Christie had defended, the situation on the court would definitely be much better now.
However, Joni made everyone shook their heads with a shocked expression. Darrell Armstrong, who was watching Joni, even wanted to cover Joni's mouth. Joni actually refused Rich Adubatu's arrangement! And Rich Adubatu was also shocked and looked at Joni blankly.
"Ritchie, I want to defend Reggie Miller." Joni said this firmly.
"But, your defense..." Richie Adubatu just wanted to say that Joni's defense was very bad, but Joni directly interrupted Richie Adubatu: "Ricky, believe me, we will definitely win this game, but I don't want to be a deserter!"
Ricci Adubatu looked at Joni deeply, then nodded and said, "Yes." Then he stopped talking. Obviously, Ricci Adubatu was also touched by Joni's determination, so he decided to believe Joni.
Both sides returned to the field, Magic's attack. This time, Joni unexpectedly wanted to get the ball. He wanted to play a single in person once, which was beyond Reggie Miller's expectations, but he still stared at Joni tightly, as if he wanted to see through Joni's next attack routine.
In fact, it was not an impulse to reject Ricci Adubatu's arrangement. He had already thought of a countermeasure. It was difficult to defend Reggie Miller's off-ball run, but if Joni proposed to solve the problem with a personal single, I believe Reggie Miller would not refuse.
"I've been running without the ball, and I think we can't tell the winner either. How about our personal singles fight?" Joni asked with the ball.
Reggie Miller smiled and said, "Yes." So Reggie Miller stepped into the trap designed by Jonny.
Joni took the ball with his back. Although Joni was a little confident in singles, he didn't have any special confidence, especially now Joni no longer has any personal offensive skills.
In the first ball, Joni chose to use the q skill of Wuji Sword Saint, which had not been used for a long time. With the ball on his back, he turned around and passed Reggie Miller, but it was not so easy after passing Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller was still following Joni tightly. After Joni's European Step was opened, Reggie Miller finally could not continue to follow.
Joni's European steps were very fast and made a layup in three steps!
"We haven't seen Joni's European Step for a long time. The ball is very beautiful. It's three steps past two Pacers and made a layup directly!"
When it comes to the Pacers' offense, Reggie Miller also took the ball to prepare for singles to Jonny. Looking at this strange scene, Hubby Brown couldn't help but smile: "It's obvious that after Jony Lee and Reggie Miller competed for more than one quarter without the ball, they finally started to compete for individual singles. Jonny's European step just now was a very beautiful hit. I don't know what kind of attack Reggie Miller will use."
"Haha, what kind of offense? It must be a strong shot!" Mike Tirik laughed out loud. He knew Reggie Miller very well. Reggie Miller's offensive methods are nothing more than running without the ball, or forced shots when he feels hot, or a quick stop jump shot, and a backward jump shot, which can get the attacking space through special actions.
Reggie Miller's offensive method was indeed as Mike Tyrik said, rushing into the three-point line, and then a sudden stop jump shot, which responded to Joni's European step just now.
Joni failed to defend this goal. He was helpless. He shook his hand and turned around and was about to hit Reggie Miller again. In fact, Joni's offense had many similarities with Reggie Miller. Joni had one more European step than Reggie Miller, and his moves could not be used. So in this attack, after Joni was about to come, he rushed forward and then made an emergency stop jump shot.
Although the skills of Picheng female policewoman cannot be used, Joni's emergency stop jump shot can still be guaranteed. With a swish, the ball entered the net.
Like Joni, Reggie Miller shook his hand, and he couldn't defend against this goal.
But next, the two seemed to be repeating the first quarter. After the half-time game and the third quarter began, the two still fought like this, and no one could defend against each other. It seemed that Joni's bold statement in the second quarter was not realized. However, after several consecutive timeouts, Richi Adubatu did not mention this question, and he seemed to have ignored this question.
And Jonny didn't mention it. Although she still couldn't defend Reggie Miller, Jonny was always confident in herself.
However, Richi Adubatu was just indifferent on the surface, and there were already tens of thousands of grass-mud horses running by in his heart.
