Chapter 349 Fighting the Big Three Again

The time soon came to February 2th. After two days of rest, the Pacers welcomed the Cavaliers, one of their main opponents in the Eastern Conference this season, at their home court. After more than half a season of running-in, they also began to produce a chemical reaction. In the recent game, apart from being killed by the Pacers, they have won 28 consecutive games. Their original 15-game winning streak was interrupted.

In addition to the very anxious record with the Pacers, the Cavaliers can now be regarded as wanting nothing. There is an Eagles team that leads by 3 games in front, and it will not be easy for the teams behind to catch up, so The Cavaliers have basically played very relaxed in recent games, and relaxation is relaxation, but because of their strength, they can still easily defeat their opponents.

Now that the Cavaliers are ready to go to the Conseco Arena, they are ready to challenge the Pacers again. The two recent opponents of the Pacers are both very difficult opponents, and the Pacers have also won, so now The morale of the Pacers is also high. After two days of rest, the Pacers also want to use this game to ensure their second place in the East, so the fighting spirit of the two teams before the game is very strong.

The difference from the last match is that the Heat did not put George Hill in the starting position this time, but directly let Dellavedova play the role of defending Ye Xuan. This is just a temporary It's just a change of formation, but the effect should be good, at least it can liberate Hill and let him have more time to lead the bench to play.

At the beginning of the game, Tristan Thompson used his bounce to successfully pat the basketball to James. After James took two steps, he passed the ball to Irving. Uncle Drew's first reaction after receiving the ball was still the same. Breakthrough, but this time he was facing Ye Xuan, who had one of the best steals in the league. When the two passed by, Owen only felt his hands go cold, and Ye Xuan stabbed the ball directly. Fortunately, the Cavaliers The army here has not yet pressed up. Dellavedova picked up the basketball before halftime and quickly passed the ball back to James. He did not give the Pacers a fast break or double-team Opportunity.

James took the ball from beyond the three-point line and played very patiently. First, he made a false move with a tentative step, and then used Thompson who was suddenly lifted up as a cover to directly enter the inside of the Pacers. An easy pick to score the first score of the game.

The Pacers' offense was still initiated by Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan's offense was very simple. I played two times of acceleration and deceleration, which is similar to the frequency conversion overtaking technique in football, directly leaving Dellavedova behind, and then before James had time to come to defend, he suddenly pulled up and made an emergency stop He made a three-pointer and hit the ball.Although he had already seen the abnormality of Ye Xuan's three-point stunt in the All-Star Game, when James really encountered it, he still felt a little overwhelmed.

In the first half of the first quarter, the two teams played back and forth. Except for Dellavedova who was easily passed by Ye Xuan at the beginning, his subsequent defense changed. He was very cautious, so it also brought a lot of trouble to Ye Xuan, the main reason was that Dellavedova's defense was in place, and the main reason was that his small movements were indeed a little annoying, but anyway , which does not prevent Dellavedova from becoming an excellent defensive player.

However, the Pacers team is now not just Ye Xuan alone. After the transformation, Hibbert did not sink all the way. The change is that he is playing more actively on the court, and there is no such thing as a half-walking state at the beginning of this season. Therefore, with the support of Hibbert's internal firepower, Ye Xuan has not been affected by the Cavaliers on the outside. The team double-teamed more, so when the TV paused in the first quarter, Ye Xuan still scored 9 points and 3 assists.

And the main point of attack on the opposite side seems to have become Love.Except after James scored the first goal, the Cavaliers' five consecutive rounds of offense were finally handed over to Love, and today Love's touch is also relatively good, with 5 shots and 5 hits , and among these 4 goals, 4 are three-pointers.

After the TV pause ended, the two teams made substitutions at the same time. The Pacers replaced Shumpert with JR-Smith, while the Cavaliers replaced Dellavedova and Irving together. Down, put on Hill and Mike - Miller.Old Miller actually joined the Cavaliers in the middle of the season. Usually, he only plays a game for more than ten minutes now, which is very easy and wins a lot. a feeling of.So he is also very much trusted by David Blatt.

After the substitution was over, the Pacers served from the sideline. Ye Xuan didn't change his tactics. He still used his personal ability to play singles or help his teammates score. Since the opponent replaced Irving, JR-Smith's point was in the speed. He still has the upper hand. Through his running position, JR can find open shot opportunities from time to time. This is one of the few Pacers players who can use his own running position to get shots, instead of relying on Ye Xuan to attract firepower. Yes, JR's appearance did help Ye Xuan share a lot of pressure.

But the main offensive point of the Cavaliers was not placed on the outside, but still let Love to carry out the main attack. I don't know if they saw West's poor state at this point, or felt that Love was in a good state, so They have only been playing power forwards, but their strategy has indeed worked. Due to Love's shooting range, Hibbert has no chance to help West defend, which leads to West's one-on-one with Love. was blown up.Indeed, after the rise of Ye Xuan, Solomon Hill also began to show his talents, and Hibbert slowly recovered his status, West's status in the team can only be said to decline further. Now he averages He didn't even take 10 shots. In the past, he was the second offensive point of the Pacers besides pickled peppers, but now he has gradually become a pure blue-collar player.
