Chapter 553 The sudden death of the game

On May 7, the Pacers and the Knicks played the second semi-final match at home.

Before the start of the game, Bobby Leonard and George McGuinness discussed how many points the Knicks would lose tonight. After the game started, their focus shifted to how much medicine the Knicks had hit tonight.

The Knicks were wholeheartedly fighting positions with the Pacers, and by locking other positions, they forced the stars to fight alone.

Let Xie Hou fight one-on-one? Claire has never seen such a request since the former's rookie season ended.

Even in the second-year season when Xie Hou's offensive efficiency plummeted, no team is willing to let him have a comfortable one-on-one challenge. Once he is allowed to fight one-on-one, the game will be out of control. Who is willing to let the situation get out of control?

The Smiling Assassin is just believing that James can fight more calmly than Xie Hou when facing an out of control.

The problem lies in calmness.

Xie Hou beat James, and the whole process was unreasonable.

Calling a pick-and-roll, shooting at an open three-pointer, his choice for three-pointers is like those pitchers who make their own lives by shooting from outside.

"Swish!"

"Arthur feels good tonight." Leonard said casually.

The Knicks forced Xie Hou to fight one-on-one, but the Pacers encouraged James to play his reasonable basketball.

They don't let James fight one-on-one, so fans will feel like Xie Hou fights the Knicks one-on-one.

The actual scene looks far less thrilling than the words described. The Knicks have many shortcomings. The most reliable shooter, Jason Richardson, shot nonsense under Artest's defense, was incredible. Some people suggested giving him some dominance in the ball or let him take the ball to attack, which would be better.

The emperor's believers stared at him fiercely: "LeBron wants the ball, Jamal wants the ball, Zach wants the ball, everyone wants the ball, Jason wants the ball? There is only one ball!"

Those who hoped Richardson would take the ball and attack were speechless.

Richardson continued his bad form in the first game to the second game. Artest had great experience in dealing with a shooter like him who needed to find a rhythm.

Richardson is out of order and the Knicks needs to find a second point.

James is like an emperor who is preparing to serve in another bed, focusing on Crawford.

The emperor has extraordinary insight. He found the right person and used his reasonable playing style to inspire the shooting feel of the king.

As for the death-breaking poison, the fat black man Randolph, I happened to find the right point today. The Smiling Assassin knew very well that to defeat the Pacers, he must first defeat Xie Hou, otherwise he would start with his right arm - to knock out the Pacers' black and white monsters.

Since the 1990s, the black and white matching of Pacers' inside line has been traditional.

Just like the black and white combinations in European and American cool movies, it is also one of the selling points of manufacturers.

1 I've definitely never seen this kind of thing.

The Knicks are really a bad team that has no competitiveness without James. The advantages of others are nothing more than "good skills". They can attack, have enthusiasm, have many young people, and have good talent. They just don't have defense.

The Knicks' first game was awkward, and they were beaten by the Pistons head-on. Such a failure in the first game was too ugly.

"LeBron continues to do what he likes to do most - passing the ball, he passed a few good goals, but the side that took the lead is still the Pacers. Can't Game1's failure give him some inspiration? Does he really not recognize the problem?" McGuinness is still normal at the moment. "He must stand up and fight Arthur head-on, otherwise the Knicks will have no hope."

The Knicks forced Xie Hou to fight alone, and the Pacers accepted it.

Xie Hou became the one-man and only gave three assists in the first half.

The person who is the main force in positional combat tactics is Papalucas, who is the second commander besides Xie Hou. Under normal circumstances, his role is to defend and transition the ball. Xie Hou takes over the game when he burns his brain and takes over three points.

A few people like this now, if the opponent wants to win the dead end, he will take over the ball and take charge of the overall situation.

It was his threading and command that the Pacers' offense could still be maintained.

The Pacers showed their strength that was obviously above the Knicks. The Knicks had a great fortune tonight. Although they took Richardson's touch to sacrifice to the sky, they were exchanged for Crawford and Randolph to be fully fired.

James was not satisfied, he wanted Banyani to fire too.

As for Richardson? The Emperor has sent him to the frontier. His only value is the impact force during defense and rotational counterattacks.

The problem with the walker is that it is relatively simple to play.

There is a big gap between Papalucas and Xie Hou. People who don’t usually take the lead suddenly take over the tactical operation of the entire team, and they will be uncomfortable.

Under the command of the Greeks, the Pacers often made a pick-and-roll misalignment, and Xie Hou or others took the ball and attacked directly.

Xie Hou felt nothing wrong with his touch, but the others were too eager for quick success and instant benefits.

The last game of tyrannical Knicks gave their opponents the illusion that they were very fucking. At halftime, they had many opportunities but not enough grasp. Artest and others lacked a stable feel, and they failed to make the shots they should score, but instead put themselves in a burden.

"The Pacers were leading by 4 points at halftime, but they didn't look happy," Leonard said.

McGuinness was sour, "They are playing back and forth with the team they slaughtered two days ago. It is hard to accept that such a gap is on anyone."

What really made the Pacers tired was that the Knicks seemed to have all flaws, so they had too many choices when they fought. They didn't know how to start, but suddenly they had no flaws.

Xie Hou remembered the episode of "Wulin Waizhi" when Captain Xing was drunk and punched the drunken boxing. He thought that no move was better than a move. They were like this now. They couldn't find the pain points of the Knicks. They wanted to beat him to death, but they couldn't beat him to death no matter how hard they were.

The Pacers were anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, while the Knicks were eager to prove themselves. The offensive performance proved that they had a profound reflection on the failure of the previous game.

Xie Hou said: "We didn't play well. We should find a solution as soon as possible in the second half. We don't want to play the whole game with the New Yorkers."

The New Yorker definitely doesn't like his condescending statement, as if the Knicks were not capable of playing a stingy game with the Pacers.

The Pacers were eager to kill the game, but it didn't go well; the Knicks wanted to decide the victory and defeat with the Pacers, and the touch felt just right.

One side is not smooth in the offense, the other side is too smooth in the offense, while the Pacers, who were not smooth in the offense, took the lead in the first half.

The gap between the two sides can be seen here.

No team's offense can keep going smoothly. In the second half, the Knicks' defensive end was a bit laissez-the screening on the top of the arc was a bit laissez-the Pacers have no shooters who can kill since Miller retired, but each of them has accurate three-pointers on the top of the arc.

At the beginning of the second half, Claire let Wang Zhizhi replace O'Neal Jr. to start the game in order to strengthen the offense.

Xie Hou couldn't believe the difference in defense against the top of the arc.

In this quarter alone, he and his teammates played pick-and-roll attack, and the Knicks missed 8 arc top three points.

Moreover, every time it is a simple pick-and-roll pull to the top of the arc.

At this moment, they couldn't even defend themselves from death.

The Knicks, who was determined to force Xie Hou to fight one-on-one, had a defense echoed this problem, and it became inevitable that the situation would completely turn to the Pacers.

In the third quarter, the Pacers scored 18 points with three-pointers.

Moreover, 5 of 6 three-pointers were shot in the arc.

What's even more crazy is that the five assists made three-pointers from the top shot were all passed by Xie Hou calling the pick-and-roll.

He was scored 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, and the score for the whole quarter was 36 to 20.

The 16-point gap suddenly turns into a crushing game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lei Balong looked at the score in disbelief: 86 to 66.

What exactly happened that made them fall directly behind by as much as 20 points?

"If the Knicks expect this group of people to win the championship, they might as well expect all other teams except the Knicks to withdraw from the league. This is the only way they can re-dominate the league." McGuinness finally revealed his nature, "Why can't they defend with just one pick-and-roll?"

No one can understand the bitterness of the New Yorker. Randolph moves slowly and has no intention of defending. What does the inside player who averages 0.1 blocks per game expect him to do?

Banyani, the unworthy Nowitzki II, has a foundation in doing a good job in defense. He knows that this is an excellent thing, but he is unwilling to become a Noz II who weakens the offense and strengthens the defense.

So the fans saw that Noor II, who had only three-pointers on the offense and was worse than Nowitzki's defense.

If any team starts with Randolph and Banyani, the defense cannot be good.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks had no hope of turning the tables.

James lost the game in a question.

At the end of the game, the live broadcast of the TV "LeBron James: 38 minutes, 26 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists" looked very eye-catching.

On the opposite side, Xie Hou, who was forced by the Knicks to fight the half, scored 40 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists.

“I was wondering, how can I beat you?

Before they parted, James said to Xie Hou.
