Chapter 350 The Second True Giant
In fact, after the transfer to the Cavaliers, Love has been questioned by the outside world. At the beginning, Bosh's role as the back of the Heat's Big Three was directly moved to Love, which made Love always bear the burden. under a lot of pressure.In addition, after the formation of this team, the record in the first half of the season was not particularly ideal, which also made the media attack and ridicule Love more unscrupulously, but Love is actually unwilling to admit this. He has been looking for opportunities to prove himself. Although he has always been serving the team, he broke out in this important game.

Love played the full game in the first quarter. Even James and Ye Xuan were replaced with more than 1 minute left in the first quarter, but in order to let Love play confidently, David- Blatt did not replace Love, but continued to let him play the entire first quarter. The Pacers really have no good way to take a player like Love. West's The defense seemed to be struggling, and Hibbert's defensive radius couldn't reach the three-point range, so he gave Love a lot of opportunities. He scored 26 points in a single quarter. This is Love's score card in the first quarter. The data only took 14 shots, and James also used Love's super high shooting rate to get 7 assists.

Although the Pacers have a great advantage on the back line, due to Love's outbreak, the Pacers fell behind their opponents by 34 points 38:4 ​​at the end of the first quarter.At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers formed a fast-playing whirlwind combination that they had tested in the previous games. CJ-Watson, JR-Smith, Shumpert, Scola and Mahinmi, ran It is also very efficient, and Ronnie Stuckey, who was expected from the beginning, can only sit on the bench now.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, directly replaced Irving, who had been resting for a long time. At the same time, Hill, Marion, Mozkov and Varejao played together. The team's side is much more luxurious, but Marion is a player who has been selected as an All-Star plus an actor, and his strength is undeniably strong.But it's a pity that Marion is indeed old, and his weird shooting movements are getting lower and lower now, and the actor's flopping has also been restricted due to the new rules of the league.

After the two teams' substitute lineups played against each other for a short period of time, the Cavaliers were forced to surrender the timeout, because although they looked very organized, they were actually fighting randomly. Hill had no right to control the ball on the field, so basically I can only watch Irving playing there alone. Although Irving is indeed relatively strong when facing the Pacers' substitute, but with Shumpert to contain him, his success rate in singles is not high. Very high.

The results are self-evident. Relying on their good tactical skills and tacit cooperation, the Pacers managed to regain some points against the Cavaliers led by Irving, tying up the 4 points that were originally behind. .That's why David Blatt had to call a timeout and put James back on to save the game.

The Pacers didn't dare to neglect. Since the opponent replaced James in advance, the Pacers were not to be outdone, and immediately replaced Ye Xuan.Irving couldn't get much benefit when facing Shumpert, and he was even more misfired when facing Ye Xuan. Although the Cavaliers still had James struggling to support them at this time, due to the low shooting rate relationship, so the Pacers gradually took advantage of the scene and slowly began to take the lead.

This is David Blatter had to call a timeout again. On the one hand, he had to rearrange his tactics. Insufficient, when playing some other teams, you can use Hill to play with any of the Big Three with three substitutes, but now facing a team with strong individual defense ability like the Pacers , their rotation is not enough, so they can only let the main players come to the rescue for a while. (Originally, the Cavaliers didn't have Hill, but they had JR and Shumpert, so they wouldn't be unavailable. But now, although there are second-team organizers, there are fewer people on the back line.)
I have to say that Love has indeed won the true pass of the real giant today. He played his role immediately after playing. First, he received a wonderful pass from James and completed a 2+1 after an inside cut, and then ran without the ball. I found an opportunity in the center, came out to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, instantly wiped out the advantage that the Pacers had just established, and I don't know if it was because Love had a hard time, and once the fight started, there was nothing to lose. After playing, he shot one after another, made consecutive shots, and was even more accurate than Ye Xuan who was hanging.

The second quarter was played by Love, and the Pacers fell behind again. If the Pacers hadn't replaced the main players in time to stabilize their position, the Pacers might have fallen behind by double digits. up.However, after Hibbert came on the field, he hit Thompson twice and stabilized the situation, but the Pacers still fell behind their opponents by 7 points.

In addition to the fact that Love's shooting percentage is indeed frighteningly high, there is also the role of James in it. Although James did not score dozens of points in this quarter to turn the tide, he also sent 8 points and 4 assists. He raised his stats to a double-double, and he chased Ye Xuan for a cap on the defensive end, and rewarded Shumpert with a big cap, suppressing the Pacers' counterattack frenzy.

At the end of the first half, although the Pacers scored 67 points, they were still 74 points behind the Cavaliers who scored 7 points. Except for James who scored 16 points, the Cavaliers only scored 11 points. The scores of most players are basically single digits, because they basically gave up their shots today to Love, who scored 40 points at halftime. After scoring 26 points in the first quarter, the second quarter continued Love, who was replaced in the middle of the game, still scored 7 points in the 14 minutes he played, and the outside world had to shout, "The real giant is back~~~".

But the Pacers team was much worse. Ye Xuan had 23 points and 7 assists, Hibbert had 13 points and 8 rebounds, and Solomon Hill had 11 points and 3 rebounds. After that, only JR-Smith's 9 points were barely enough. Look, fortunately the game is not over yet, the Pacers still have a chance to recover the score.
