Chapter 155 He Li, as strong as a virus! (big chapter)
"The Pacers continued Jordan's rule against He Li, but He Li had already reached the inside with the ball."

"The ball came out! Tim Thomas made a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the left!"

"16 to 29, with 1 minute left in the first quarter, it seems that the Bucks lead by 10 points and enter the second quarter, there is no problem!"

"That's right. The situation in the first quarter was obvious.

The Pacers wanted to use Jordan's law to limit He Li, but unfortunately they didn't.

On the contrary, He Li plays a very important role on both offensive and defensive ends. If you want to attack, you have to attack, and if you want to defend, you have to defend. "

"After the Bucks replaced Ray Allen and the Big Dog, He Li was no longer as full of fire as he was at the beginning.

Instead, he is using his abilities as much as possible to help rotation players find the touch.

He Li is very smart and knows very well that the playoffs are the stage for stars, but the rotation of players is not useless.

On the contrary, sometimes the impact of rotating players on the game is also very important. "

"Tim Thomas and Michael Reid didn't come up just to defend, to run tactics.

They also want to score in the playoffs and help the team win.

However, they didn't feel good when they first came up.

If it is another team, it may be necessary to reduce the possession of the ball.

But He Li did not give up on them!Instead, He Li defended them and continued to encourage and support their attacks.

He Li used his excellent ability to attract double-teams to give them more shots and a more comfortable shot space.

In the end, Tim Thomas and Michael Reid did not live up to He Li's expectations. They scored 3 points together in just 8 minutes of playing.

But this is not because their strength is indeed worthy of the playoffs.

It is the result of He Li's unremitting efforts.He Li led the Bucks to win the playoffs in the most correct way. "

In the first quarter of the game, He Li had a great influence on the field. In the first half of the quarter, He Li was not only the core of the Bucks' tactics, but also the team's first offensive point.

Different from the past, in the past, He Li mainly focused on CIC. In this playoffs, He Li suddenly changed his style of play, adopting a scoring method that relies more on talent, technology, and efficiency.

He Li frequently relies on his physical talent to enter the inside line and cause damage.

He Li relied on free throws to score or secondarily, mainly due to the cumulative number of fouls committed by the opponent.

Just in the first half of He Li's main attack, Brad Miller and Artest have already been charged with two fouls, and Jermaine O'Neal was also fouled once by He Li.

It is because He Lizao's foul is a bit lethal, and the Pacers had to replace it with a substitute lineup in advance.

The Bucks followed up with adjustments, removing Ray Allen and the Big Dog in order to lead the second team in the second quarter.

In the first quarter, in addition to breaking into the inside and making fouls, He Li mostly used the outside line to open the three-point line and shoot three-pointers as a secondary scoring method.

Although He Li made 3 of 2 shots and only hit two three-pointers, he scored 6 points inadvertently.

Under the defensive intensity of the playoffs, He Li scored 6 points efficiently, and He Li's two three-pointers are also worth a thousand dollars.

Perhaps it was He Li who set the tone. In the first quarter, the Bucks basically didn't score much through mid-range shots.

Reid and Tim Thomas also kept shooting three-pointers after they came up. They each made a three-pointer, and Reed also scored a breakthrough layup.

In general, under the leadership of He Li, the Bucks played really well.

He Li's firepower was fully fired in the first half of the first quarter, and his physical strength was already exhausted.

After Tim Thomas and Reed came up, He Li used their abundant physical strength to complete the score.

Although the Pacers are somewhat aware that He Li didn't play much in the second half, it may be that there is a problem with his physical strength, or he intends to save his physical strength.

But in any case, He Li's offensive ability is here. He scored 14 points in the first half, and made one or two three-pointers in the second half. That's still easy.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Pacers to give He Li a chance to shoot a three-pointer after dismantling.

But in this way, He Li would naturally think of distributing the ball after attracting double-teams.As long as there are no mistakes in the pass, other Bucks players will basically have an open three-pointer.

The Pacers also understand the truth, but the existence of He Li means that the Pacers must not be able to guard everyone.

Then, the Pacers can only think of ways to attack.

The Pacers have no players who are particularly good at breakthroughs, so when the score is quite behind, they can only be handed over to O'Neal.

It is worth mentioning that before Jermaine O'Neal singled He Li 6 times, he only succeeded 2 times.

If the Pacers continue to use Jermaine O'Neal as the first offensive point, then it is impossible to pose a threat to the Bucks with such inefficient scoring, and it is impossible to beat the Bucks.

Sometimes inefficiency scores are tantamount to slow suicide.Indulging inefficient scoring is regarded as disarming and surrendering.

The Pacers naturally didn't want to admit defeat, so not long ago, the Pacers called another timeout.

After that, Jermaine O'Neal learned how to behave. He didn't continue to play He Li in the low post. Instead, he ran to the high post to catch the ball and find someone to play from outside the three-point line.

Whether it is playing with a weight advantage or a height advantage, as long as He Li does not help to defend, O'Neal will have a dislocation advantage.

As the saying goes, misalignment is cool for a while, and misalignment is always cool.

Once upon a time, He Li also liked to shoot opponents from the outside line.

But now, He Li is strong enough, and he is the leader of the team, so there is no need to occupy the position of his teammates to make himself comfortable.

If the inside players run outside to shoot, then the offensive team will always have an outside line to defend inside.

In case the shot is missed, the player who needs to enter the defensive line gets stuck and grabs a rebound. At this time, the player who made the sacrifice will feel uncomfortable.

In the era of hand-to-hand combat in the interior, the regular field goal percentage of the game will not exceed 50%.

That is to say, there is one unlucky guy who spends half his time getting beaten in the paint.

At a time like this, it wouldn't be comfortable to switch to a power forward and get beaten up!
Not to mention relatively speaking, the outside players with thin bodies, went inside and head-to-head with those big muscular sticks!

Whenever it's time to grab a rebound, the outside players who enter the inside defense are dumb and eat coptis.

Therefore, in this era, it is not unreasonable to regard the inside line who pulls down the outside shot as a softie.

After all, this style of play is mostly hurting teammates and the team.

But having said that, O'Neal's skills are indeed quite comprehensive.This time, the mid-range face-to-face singles were successful, recovering 2 points for the Pacers.

18 to 29, the Bucks still have an advantage of 11 points, so they are not in a hurry.

"There are 42 seconds left, and the aliens are still dribbling. It seems that they want to press time."

"Yes. The Bucks don't need to play too fast with the Pacers, just play slowly.

Now the Bucks have a great advantage, and it is more reasonable to play steadily than to score blindly.

As the saying goes, there is no big mistake in being careful. If you play too fast, you are prone to mistakes, and you will find opportunities to chase points behind the Pacers. "

"The Pacers are the ones who are anxious. The more calm the Bucks are, the more impatient the Pacers will be."

"The ball was handed over to He Li! Ron Artest immediately defended him."

"A step back? Isn't it? It's so far away! Something's wrong, I jumped, He Li, is this a fake throw? Or..."

"Super three points!"

"Hit!"

Cassel dribbled the ball for 20 seconds, and within the last 24 seconds of the 4-second attack, He Licai received the ball.

But He Li lived up to expectations. After dribbling the ball twice, he took a step back and made a super long three-pointer.

"He Li made such a difficult shot very casually!
Only when you have defended He Li with all your strength, can you understand the horror of He Li.

It's not that Ron Artest doesn't care about defending. He has used all his strength, but he just can't defend.

It is normal for ordinary starting players to be unable to guard against super giants.

At this time, we don't have to care about who is defending He Li and who failed to defend He Li.

We just need to know that He Li made this cool ultra-long three-pointer and it is enough!

This is a perfect shot, this is the personal show time of the All-Star MVP in a playoff game! "

"Although He Li is the king of three-pointers, we are all concerned about He Li's three-pointers and have some understanding.

But now it seems that we still underestimated He Li's three-point ability.

He Li's three-point ability at the critical moment! "

In this day and age, three-point shots are shot along the three-point line. That lunatic will shoot such flashy shots as ultra-long three-pointers?
Shooting ultra-long three-pointers is not one more point than regular three-pointers, but the shooting rate will drop as the distance from the basket gets farther.

Therefore, no matter how you say it, this kind of unflattering scoring method seems to be deviant in this era and is not tolerated by the world.

However, He Li is tough, and He Li is able to advance.

He Li made 4 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter, which made the Pacers want to cry and made the Pacers players feel terrified.

Especially Artest, who was shot face to face by He Li this time, was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Obviously an enemy, an opponent I hope to defeat!
But I don’t know what’s going on, I’m a little tired, I don’t know when it started...

Whenever He Li throws the ball in forcefully, his body will feel a numb feeling.

No, He Li is not Michael Jordan, I can't be convinced by him, impossible, I must beat him! "

The fledgling Artest was also unconvinced when he met Jordan, but after he really met Jordan, he realized that Jordan was just playing with him.

The most frightening thing is that he broke Jordan's ribs, but Jordan can still score on him like a normal person.

Although Artest is a tough guy in the league, when he met Jordan, he always had lingering fears and shunned him.

Now meeting Jordan-style He Li, Artest has unconsciously developed "muscle memory".

Artest was very unwilling to be beaten by He Li, but whenever He Li scored on his head, Artest's body unconsciously fell into a stiff state, unable to extricate himself.

"He (He Li) is so powerful that he invaded like a virus...I don't know what I can do to him."

After the first quarter, Artest was at a loss and revealed his true inner thoughts to his teammates.

When the others heard what Artest said, they turned their heads away as if they didn't hear it, not daring to look at Artest.

Before speaking, He Li shot a super long three-pointer, and there were only 16 seconds left in the first quarter, and Jermaine O'Neal also pressed time to make the last shot.

But after all, the Pacers lost by 14 points. Jermaine O'Neal was not so stable, and his mentality was still very anxious. In the end, he hurriedly made a mid-range shot, which was blocked by Tim Thomas.

He Li picked up the ball under the basket, but there was a little more than a second left in the clock, and it was not enough time to shoot a three-pointer at halftime.

Although He Li could take a gamble, it was unnecessary, and he did not sacrifice his hit rate in the end.

18 to 32, 14 points into the second quarter, which is already pretty good.

He Li led the team in the first quarter and played a huge advantage. In the second quarter, Ray Allen and the big dog took the responsibility and continued to lead the Bucks to expand their advantage.

As Artest revealed to Pacers teammates during the break, He Li is like a virus.

Indeed, He Li spent most of the second quarter sitting off the court, but He Li's influence continued on the court.

Naturally, the Bucks were encouraged by He Li, and the offense played quite smoothly. From time to time, someone made a three-pointer to further increase the score.

Although the Pacers didn't look downcast on the surface and were still playing the game seriously, in fact, their offense and defense were one or two grades worse than those in the first quarter.

Although there is a reason for the substitute, but the starting players are also playing the iron that should be hit, the mistakes that should be made, the fouls that should be made, and they have not played at all. It can only be said that there is a reason for this.

The reason is naturally He Li.

He Li's passion, He Li's toughness, and He Li's ability are like viruses invading the Pacers players' bodies and minds. Even if the Pacers players can resist, they will suffer a serious illness!
The Pacers are all out, and even Reggie Miller doesn't know what to do at this time.

Obviously, everyone is a little bit giving up.

The first half was not over yet, and everyone faintly showed this kind of thinking and attitude, so what can he, Reggie Miller, do?
Speech on the sidelines to motivate teammates?Or let the Pacers players go up and show He Li the blood?

Isn't this what a coach like Isiah Thomas should do?

Reggie Miller didn't do it, and Isiah Thomas didn't want to.

After the first half, the score was 37 to 64.

Although the score of the two teams has not been extended to 30 points, the difference is not much.

Faced with such a one-sided situation, Isiah Thomas, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, doesn't know what to do at this time.

Arranging tactics?Is it still useful?
Isiah Thomas set it up, Pacers players, listen to it.

Then, as soon as the third quarter came up, the Pacers missed the first attack, Battelle grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to He Li,

He Li didn't say anything about the fast break with the ball. O'Neal barely stopped He Li, but He Li beat him 2+1.

"Damn whistle, another whistle, you've already scored, and I'll give you a free throw!" Jermaine O'Neal was a little depressed.

This is not really questioning the fairness of the referee, but He Li's extra free throw after scoring a layup will make the Pacers even worse.

If He Li makes another free throw this time, the point difference between the two teams will be 30 points!

"Because I suddenly felt the intensity of the playoffs, so I'm not used to it, right? Rookie! Be happy and learn to enjoy the game."

He Li taught Jermaine O'Neal a lesson, and then made a free throw.

"This... the Bucks lead the Pacers by 30 points! It was a very suspenseful game, but it was played by He Li without any suspense."

"I have to say, this is the strength of He Li."

"Reggie Miller is also a superstar, but there is still a gap between superstars and superstars."

"Playing off the ball is more difficult to defend than playing with the ball, but playing with the ball has a much greater impact on the court than off the ball."

"That's right. Who would have thought that the Pacers who competed with the Lakers for the championship two years ago were defeated in the first game against the Bucks."

"It shouldn't be that the Pacers can't do it, but that the Bucks are too strong! The Bucks with Heli are spacewalking!"
