The Raptors found a way to deal with the Pacers, which lacked Artest in the second half of the second quarter, and they continued to put pressure on this aspect in the third quarter.

To be honest, the Pacers lack Artest, and this wing is no longer unbreakable, and there are really many problems on the defensive end.

Li Yuan and Chris Bosh made two connections from the beginning of the third quarter, and these two connections were both opened from the wing.

With these two attacks, the Raptors successfully completed the first lead in the score in this game.

"Keep this pace and let's take a bigger lead!" Mitchell gave the players on the court the first time he overtook the score.

However, when the Raptors attacked next time, when Li Yuan held the ball to the wing in the previous two rounds, the Pacers changed their playing style this time. Tinsley and Reggie Miller, who were number one, surrounded Li Yuan as soon as possible.

This is obviously to force Li Yuan to pass the ball through double-teaming.

Damn, they were playing this trick too!

Li Yuan had just experienced double-teaming in the Nuggets' last game, and was impressed by this. When he saw Tinsley and Reggie Miller coming towards him, his first reaction was to call the pick-and-roll immediately.

In the last game, he broke the Nuggets' double-team for him with a pick-and-roll.

This time he also plans to try this trick.

Chris Bosh ran up as soon as Li Yuan called him forward to the pick-and-roll, but Reggie Miller, who he originally wanted to stop, was not stopped by him. The latter moved skillfully to avoid his delay and continued to pass towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan couldn't avoid it and could only pass the ball. Otherwise, if these two guys really came up with double-teaming, he wouldn't be able to pass the ball.

But although the ball was passed smoothly, the problem is that it will be difficult for Li Yuan to go back again, because Tinsley and Reggie Miller were like the Nuggets defenders in the last game. After he passed the ball, he still followed him and did not give him a chance to catch the ball again.

The Raptors suddenly became chaotic on the offensive end without him.

"Bang!"

The final result was that Chris Bosh played alone by himself and failed to score in a hurry.

After Li Yuan could not get the ball, the Pacers' remaining defensive power was staring at Chris Bosh!

Chris Bosh is like a fish that drills into a fishing net, and he can't break free no matter how hard he breaks free.

The effect is good.

Seeing O'Neal Jr. get the defensive rebound, a smile flashes in Rick Carlisle's eyes.

The "feast" he prepared for the Raptors, or the "big meal" he prepared for Li Yuan is not a complicated routine. Even the Nuggets have used it before, just double-teaming Li Yuan and pushing his ball out of his hand.

Rick Carlisle has not seen the last game of the Nuggets vs. The game has inspired Rick Carlisle.

The Nuggets' "double-team tactic" was only successful once, but Rick Carlisle saw how much impact Li Yuan, who had lost the ball, had the Raptors' offensive tactics after the success of this tactic.

In Rick Carlisle's view, it is completely possible to think that without Li Yuan, the Raptors' offensive threat will be reduced by at least one level.

Putting aside his own firepower, it would be much more difficult to just send the ball to Chris Bosh's hands than they usually do.

If the Raptors don’t hold the ball on the offensive end, it can be said that it would be a mess!

This made Rick Carlisle determined to make Li Yuanshao hold the ball in this game.

In Rick Carlisle's opinion, the Nuggets' "double-team tactic" does not have any major problems. The only problem is the two players who execute this tactic, one is Demar Johnson and the other is Miller. One of these two people has no defensive enthusiasm, and the other is a big problem with speed. Wouldn't such two people perform "double-team defense" when they encounter a pick-and-roll?

Therefore, in Carlisle's view, tactics are good tactics, but the person who executes the tactics does not exert the effect of this tactic.

Look at the effect of Tinsley and Reggie Miller’s double-teaming!

Didn’t Chris Bosh’s pick-and-roll have no effect at all?

Even without Artest, the Pacers' defensive quality has declined, but the team's defensive execution is still not at all problem.

"Bang!"

The Raptors continued to fail to score in the next attack.

Because Li Yuan was double-teamed by Reggie Miller and Tinsley again, without him leading the Raptors on the offensive end, the Raptors' remaining tactics were to give the ball to Chris Bosh's hands.

But the problem is that there are so many ways in this league that the inside players can't hold the ball in their hands. Fortunately, Chris Bosh has good skills in holding the ball, and he can barely transport it to complete a decent attack.

Unfortunately, the ball failed to score again.

True Cao Dan!

Chris Bosh staggered into the inside and failed to successfully release the ball. Li Yuan cursed in his heart. Of course, he was not scolding Chris Bosh, he was scolding himself. Tonight he failed to activate Ray Allen's ability to run without the ball, which made his ability to get rid of defense weakened. In addition, the Pacers' two guys have too good double-team cooperation, which makes him only stare at it after the ball is passed from his hand.

It is hard to do anything, for anyone, such as Artest who was suspended from the bench, and Li Yuan, who is now under strict supervision of the Pacers.

"You should be very anxious, right? But, let me tell you a very bad news." Tinsley looked at Li Yuan with a change in expression, "You will continue to not get the ball next, and we will continue to follow you!"

whispering sound!

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, but he had no intention of responding to the trash talk.

Mitchell was also paced back and forth on the sidelines. More than a minute ago, he watched the team overtake the score very happily. In more than a minute, the court was changing. The Raptors' offensive momentum actually showed a cliff-like decline.

And he could see that the guys from the Raptors on the field were trying their best to get rid of the current predicament, but so far, they had not thought of any very effective way.

Or try a replacement?

Mitchell gave him a lot of freedom on the court, which also made his team-changing mediation ability not improve much compared to when he was the head coach at the beginning, so although he wanted to try a substitution, he really didn't know who should be replaced for a while.

He tried his best to calm himself down, and looked at the situation on the court, and began to gradually analyze in his mind: The reason for the offensive end is that Li was restricted by these guys and could not get the ball. So now there are only two ways to change this dilemma. One is to help Li get the ball again, but they did not come up with any good solutions on the court, so now I have to find a way from other aspects, such as...for example...for example...for example, add another ball holding point?
