After the suspension, neither team made any personnel adjustments.

Morris Chicks and Carlisle both regretted it, but they both admired each other very much.

At this time, if you seek stability, replace the players who are in conflict, you will lose at least half of your combat power.

The Pacers will lose the team's first score in the inside and the team's third defense; the Trail Blazers will lose the team's defensive pillars.

Just now, Kwame Brown slapped the ball on Jermaine O'Neal and popped out of bounds, and the Trail Blazers scored in the backcourt.

Xiao Feishe received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and started with a sudden score + auxiliary control style in cooperation with Liu Xiu.

The flying squirrel broke deep, and Liu Xiu's wings were attracted by the cover. The extramarital madman responded with one step outside the free throw line and made a mid-range shot... missed!

But Liu Xiu grabbed the offensive rebound!

He pushed his opponent away and actively rushed into the three-second zone, and his efforts were not in vain!

Jermaine O'Neal and Tianzun's attention were on Kwame Brown, and Liu Xiu made a second offensive throw shot!

The Pacers judged that as long as they could withstand the impact of the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt and survived the current stage when the role players were unable to make any shots on the outside. After adjusting after the halftime, the Trail Blazers would not dare to defend with them like this in the second half.

Because there is not enough time!

The Trail Blazers took a quarter and a half to create opportunities to appear in the first half.

If the Trail Blazers fail to seize the opportunity now and start again in the second half, the Pacers will be very happy. This is their advantageous style of play, and they have a greater chance of winning. This advantage may not be able to lead too much in the score, but they don’t need to win too much, winning two or three points is also a win.

However, at this time, someone from the Pacers needs to stand up, but Jermaine O'Neal, the most stable player in their team's offense, was soft again when facing the young and wild Kwame Brown!

Although Jermaine O'Neal is the number one power forward in the Eastern Conference and the top four forwards in the league, he has always been criticized for his one-on-one style and personality.

After leaving the Trail Blazers, he fought with Tianzun 7 times, facing the "King of Technical Fouls", with 2 wins and 5 losses. His strength is obviously not weaker than the opponent, but he is only able to be defended by the opponent with a hit rate of only 40%.

In the past five years since he became the main player, he has played Duncan with 3 wins and 7 losses; when he played Garnett, the team has such a big advantage, only 3 wins and 6 losses, and only averaged 9 points and 6 rebounds per game. In fact, Weber, who was not so tough in both mouth and play, played a 4 win and 2 loss advantage.

Like now, everyone thinks that Jermaine O'Neal, who just got a plagiarism and was annoyed by mockery, will regain the scene after the timeout, but Jermaine O'Neal chose to open up the space.

Jermaine O'Neal, who was so angry that he had a conflict, was cowardly. Tonight, Artest, who seemed to admit defeat and was "self-defense" and didn't dare to make a fart, immediately came to the low post on the left side of the three-second zone and took the initiative to lean on Liu Xiu to ask for the ball!

The commentator praised Artest's choice, which was unable to move and had no ability to run without the ball. He could not rush when facing Liu Xiu. At this time, using his height and weight to play at a low position is a very excellent choice.

However, Artest regretted it after receiving the ball.

He bumped into it, how could the other party break without moving?

A little square!

He was confident and powerful, plus his 110 kg inside weight, but he couldn't stand it! He could even beat Bosh before...

But at this time, you must call one and have a chance to challenge!

Artest chose to turn right and go to the bottom line to attack!

Artest's choice confirmed the player detection report that Liu Xiu saw - an attack that was first entering the top level! His consciousness has really improved a lot.

Artest goes to the bottom line, Liu Xiu cannot block the bottom line, and has to leave room to move forward, otherwise it will be blocking the foul.

Liu Xiu also had a way to block Artest, such as using fierce confrontation to force the opponent to stop, but he did not try. Although he was confident in the current 96 power surpassing the top level, the opponent had top-level power + inside weight, and his success rate was not particularly high, and he might also make a foul. He chose to stick to him and not give Artest the chance to accelerate.

And that's enough!

Artest's cutting-in attacking frame was limited, and as soon as he threw it out, he was slapped by the withdrawn Mike Dyce! Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound!

Liu Xiu and Mike Dais have a perfect defensive cooperation!

In two rounds, the situation was very clear - when the stars came forward to fight the tough battle, the Pacers could not beat the Trail Blazers!

However, the Pacers' frontcourt trio is really good. Jermaine O'Neal is also very magical. The offense can be very soft and cowardly, but the defense has always been very active and hardworking. When it comes to the Trail Blazers' offense, the extramarital madman cuts into the middle to catch up Liu Xiu's second pass was disturbed by Jermaine O'Neal. Artest protects the defensive rebound, and Carlisle calls for a timeout!

…

During the suspension period, the Trail Blazers were speculating on what adjustments the opponent would make next and who would use to attack? Tian Xunsheng came out of the world?

But it didn't. After returning from the timeout, the Pacers once again pulled the iron-blooded defense, and the offensive end began to attack Tinsley's breakthrough and Tianzun supported the team's attack.

Can the Pacers team offense compete with the Trail Blazers' singles?

It is OK to have Reggie Miller, but it is obviously impossible to have Reggie Miller.

This is true. After returning from the timeout, the Trail Blazers have completely taken the initiative.

After the first half, Artest made a buzzer-beating three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers still led the Pacers by 6 points 51-45, showing their advantages.

However, the benefits of the Pacers' style of playing are obvious. They only scored 20 points in the second quarter, especially after that timeout, they only scored 8 points, and they only scored 8 points with Artest's strong three-pointer. But even so, they were in such an unfavorable situation and were only 9 points behind when they were most behind!

Because their defense is really good! They can rely on defense to slow down the pace of the Trail Blazers' gap, endure until the first half is finished, and then make plans in the second half.

When there is no solution to the problem, minimize the loss!

Carlisle's strategy, coupled with the Pacers' defense, is like a turtle shell, and Morris Chicks really has no idea how to start!

His team members finally created opportunities, and the warden and the flying squirrel seized the opportunity and gained the advantage, but the other party was so tenacious.

Morris Chicks looked at Carlisle. This guy is not good at playing basketball, and being a coach is really good.

But he was not in a hurry, he had a warden!

He made 6 of 13 shots in the half, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, and the warden who scored 17 points!

…

After returning from halftime, the Trail Blazers sent Payton, Liu Xiu, Rahim, Randolph and Kwame Brown to start the lineup.

Tonight, Kwame Brown will be about 40 minutes away from playing time, but he is very excited and plays very bravely.

Because the warden pushed the glasses frame while reading a book and said to him: The pillar of Rose Bay, step onto the higher level! The strongest twin towers of the alliance are left to you to deal with!

The Pacers sent a combination of Tinsley, Anthony Johnson, Artest, Austin Crohill, and Jermaine O'Neal.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers attacked first, Rahim singled Anthony Johnson from mid-range to hit a jump shot, widening the gap to 8 points, but then Anthony Johnson made an open three-pointer from the wing! The Pacers narrowed the gap to 5 points, and the score reached 48-53!

During the halftime break, the Trail Blazers worried about it - the Pacers' character player's feel was adjusted well during the halftime break!

Looking at Anthony Johnson's confident move, this guy was shooting hot in the training ground during the entire halftime break...

Then Payton's two-point contact was slightly stronger and he turned it out. He turned around and received the free throw line and received the pass and made a jump shot, narrowing the gap to 3 points! At this time, Liu Xiu stood up again. Liu Xiu used Kwame Brown's three-pointer to stop the blood in the mouth and expanded the lead to 6 points again.

It's the Pacers' turn to attack, and they're about to get on the verge of power.

When their wing shots can ensure stability, they can use this to launch a team attack!

This is their Reggie Miller era style of play, which revolves around the restraint of a pitcher, and they are most familiar with this style of play.

They knew that the Trail Blazers would immediately start to actively improve their confrontational style and narrow the gap in the defensive strength of both sides.

But at present, Anthony Johnson and Tinsley's shooting feel is still there, and the Pacers have an advantage on both offense and defense!

Seize the advantage and overtake the score, and the initiative will be back in their hands!

The remaining time is definitely not enough for the Trail Blazers to do the first half operation again!

In such an unfavorable situation, Carlisle found the most favorable path.

After surviving the most difficult half of the game, he can finally show his skills.

However, when the Pacers attacked, they found that the Trail Blazers' defense had changed!

The Trail Blazers have started a complete one-on-one-man-gating defense!

Tinsley played Payton alone and successfully broke into close range by threatening the shooting, but no one came to make up for the defense. He hesitated before taking action, but was held back by Payton and threw the ball.

Fortunately, Jermaine O'Neal defended Randolph very well in singles. Randolph missed a hook, Crohill protected the rebound, and the Pacers relied on defense to bite the score.

However, the situation that Carlisle originally thought was going to become favorable became complicated again - the opponent used one-on-one defense to restrict their Pacers from circulating their team offenses, preventing them from relying on team offenses and wanting to play singles with them!

If he read it correctly, just now, the warden opposite called his teammates together and said a few words.

It is probably the independent adjustment of the layout!

He has strong scoring ability, high offense confidence, excellent on-the-spot adaptability, and better command effectiveness than the head coaches of many teams. This made Carlisle think of McGrady and Kidd. The feeling that the Nets' invincible backcourt gave him was actually concentrated on one person!

My phone and notebook are about to run out of power, but fortunately I finished the second chapter and my heart is calm and I will naturally cool down...
Chapter completed!
