MTL - NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 573 targeted walkers

【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】

What the Pacers lack is a superstar.

There is a lack of a player who can really stand up and lead the team to attack when the team is in a scoring drought.

In this game, the Pacers' offensive system is still not much different from the previous game, and it is still the traditional inside two-tower tactic.

The offense has David West, and the defense has Hibbert.

It's just that Paul George's condition has picked up slightly today.

1 for 4 in the first quarter.

Don't think he is in poor form. Compared with his last game, where he made 0 of 5 shots in the first quarter, this game is much better.

In this game, at least he made 1 of 4 shots.

The performance of pickled peppers is so unstable now, and any fairy ball can be scored by the touch.

When pulling your hips, he dares to give you a three-pointer if there is an open seat.

After the first quarter, the Knicks did not open the score.

26:26.

The two teams tied, mainly because the Pacers' defense was indeed better than the previous game.

Under such defensive pressure, Cousins ​​and Millsap's state was not as good as the previous game.

At the same time, the Knicks' rebound protection is not as good as the Pacers, which is also caused by the Knicks' tactics.

Although Cousins ​​and Millsapura can take the opponent's inside players away from the outside line.

But once the Knicks hit a drop and protect the rebound, they will suffer a lot.

But even in this case, the Pacers still have no advantage.

The problem is that they have no way to prevent Lian Dao from scoring.

The Pacers' defense is indeed very good, but Lian Dao's attack range is too large.

Sometimes, if the Pacers fail to make up defense in time, Lian Dao will score easily.

Lian Dao scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter!

The Pacers can't double-team Lian Dao with two people at all. If three people double-team, the defensive system built by the Pacers inside will collapse in an instant.

In the second quarter, the Pacers still continued the defensive strategy of the first quarter.

The double-teaming of Lian Dao was also more thorough. For this reason, he directly gave up defending Cousins ​​​​outside and directly let Hibbert guard the basket.

Vogel is betting that Cousins ​​will be in the same state as the first quarter tonight.

Unfortunately, he bet wrong.

…

In the second quarter, Lian Dao faced Granger and Paul George's double-team, followed by Hibbert's supplementary defense.

Seeing that Hibbert was guarding the basket, Lian Dao didn't force his shots inside.

And as long as Hibbert double-teams, he will not hesitate to pass the ball to Cousins ​​who is open on the outside.

After a period of adjustment, Cousins ​​began to recover his touch.

Although he missed the first three-pointer, Cousins ​​made all of Lian Dao's next two passes.

The Knicks also began to overtake the score.

Vogel couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat again.

And the next offense also proved that Cousins ​​​​is not a flash in the pan.

After Cousins ​​surrendered, he even hit a long two-pointer that he was not good at.

In the second quarter, the Pacers' defensive strategy completely failed. Not only did they not double-team Lian Dao.

It also allowed Lian Dao to always create scoring opportunities for his teammates, and gradually cultivated his teammates' touch.

Seeing that the Knicks started again like the previous game, the Pacers were anxious again.

With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Lian Dao's layup was blocked by Hibbert, but he still made a throw.

This is not the first time that Lian Dao has scored in the case of an intentional foul by the opponent.

This kind of picture vividly shows the Pacers' sense of powerlessness on the defensive end.

After the second quarter, the Pacers fell behind by 8 points from the previous tie.

And Lian Dao's data has also become 26 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

After two quarters, Lian Dao's statistics are already amazing.

In the second half, Hibbert's state improved, and in the third quarter, he gave Millsap and Cousins ​​a big cap in the paint.

[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and have many voices for reading aloud. Huanyuanapp, Android and Apple are all available. 】

Seeing this, Lian Dao also reduced the frequency of attacking the inside line.

From the beginning of the second half, Lian Dao increased his shots outside the penalty area. Except for defensive counterattacks, Lian Dao rarely hit the basket.

This also perfectly avoids Hibbert's defensive range.

This made the Pacers players very helpless. What they were most afraid of was that Lian Dao would float outside and not attack the basket.

At this time, the Pacers' inside height advantage is useless.

Hibbert's strength is really not very useful against the Knicks.

Cousins ​​is indeed not as tall as Hibbert, but the latter's height doesn't affect him too much.

In particular, Cousins ​​is more flexible, with better bounce and speed, and more comprehensive skills.

As long as the **** tower dares to follow him out of the penalty area, Cousins ​​​​will dare to use the breakthrough to pass him directly.

Millsap is not afraid of Hibbert, he hardly goes inside on the offensive end.

His task in this round of the series is to kill in the middle distance and beyond the three-point line.

The two inside players opened up the distance from the left to the right, and Hibbert's height advantage was largely offset.

In the second half of this game, the Pacers once again really felt the feeling of being targeted in the previous game.

In the first half of the third quarter, Hibbert was once again pulled out by Cousins

Lian Dao made more breakthroughs with the ball in the first half, attracting double-teams, and other outside players moved inside without the ball.

Lian Dao passed the ball to the players who cut to the basket, and they made layups directly to cause damage.

For a while, the Pacers' restricted area was turned upside down by the Knicks.

As a last resort, Hibbert returned to the basket again.

At this time, the Knicks' two inside players got shooting opportunities in the mid-range and three-point positions respectively.

Faced with this style of play, the Pacers have difficulty looking head to tail. If they can take care of the back road, they can't take care of the COS shots. If they can take the COS shots, they can't take care of the basket...

Holiday also slipped to the bottom line from time to time, and if he didn't pay attention to Danny Green, he would ambush in the bottom corner and shoot three-pointers.

The Knicks still took the absolute initiative on the court in the second game, and the Pacers gradually had to deal with it passively, and were once again beaten helplessly.

…

With 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, West, who was defended after Lian Dao made a breakthrough, directly knocked him out of the baseline.

West successfully prevented Lian Dao from scoring directly.

But there is no doubt that his rough defensive action earned him a defensive foul.

Lian Dao was pulled up from the floor by his teammates. This is the first time he has been roughly defended by his opponent.

The higher your role in the team and the greater your reputation, the more violations you will receive in the game.

Michael Jordan did it, Kobe did it, James did it...

And Lian Dao, as the core of the Knicks, is naturally impossible to avoid.

Many of the Pacers' fouls can be called malicious fouls in the future, but now they are just technical fouls.

Of course, this would have been a defensive foul at best in the 90s.

As for whether to blow or not, it depends on the mood of the referee.

In the 90s, it was not so much about defense as it was about wrestling.

In those days, if you didn't have a good body, you couldn't gain a foothold on the court.

In those days, Jordan ~www.novelbuddy.com~ was even targeted by all teams in the league.

Fortunately, he is a warrior who came out of the bad boy army in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the true death defense.

Even in the face of the targets of other teams in the league, he still performed with ease and led the Bulls to complete two feats of dynasties.

This is probably why Jordan is called the "God of Basketball".

Back on the court, Lian Dao made two free throws.

The Knicks extended their lead to 21 points.

Although there are still 8 minutes in the game, the game can basically be declared over.

Chasing 21 points in 8 minutes, this is a difficult task for the Pacers with a slow offensive rhythm.

The Pacers have basically been scheduled to be the background board of Lian Dao's mVp night.

Fans at Madison Square Garden also celebrated in advance, as if they had seen the final outcome of the Pacers.

The Pacers stopped the game, Vogel put his hands behind his back and looked up at the score on the LEd big screen.

As if thinking about how to deal with the tricky questions from the reporters soon.

The Knicks players clapped each other excitedly, as if they had already celebrated the victory of the G2 game in advance.

So far in Lian Dao's game, he has also scored a triple-double of 35 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

This is Lian Dao's triple-double in two consecutive playoff games.

"Sickle, you can take a rest later, in the last 8 minutes, we have basically sealed the victory!"

The first thing D'Antoni did during the timeout was to replace Lian Dao for a rest.

Lian Dao received too many rough fouls today. If Lian Dao is left on the court during garbage time, it will only increase his risk of injury.
