basketball never sleeps

Chapter 147

"Don't we need another adjustment, Rick?"

In the fourth quarter, watching the time go by little by little, but there was no sign of recovering the point difference, the assistant coach of the Pacers couldn't help but asked Carlisle.

"Adjust? Save it, we still have a glimmer of hope if we stick to this rhythm. If we make random adjustments, believe it or not, the game will be wasted within 2 minutes."

Carlisle clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

Did the Pacers adjust less in front?
You said to adjust the tactics, how many tactics have been changed, is it useful?Change the soup but not the medicine.

Da Fan, Riley who nominally does not coach the team, and the nominal player on the court are not vegetarians.

The Pacers have made several adjustments, but it cannot be said to have achieved outstanding results, it can only be said that it is useless.

Three people took turns to produce "Invulnerable", the kit card is useless.

And no matter how good the tactics are, they have to be executed by the players.

Under the defense of the Heat, the Pacers team shot more than 40% from the field with the inside blue-collar Foster and Reggie Miller who didn't take many shots.

When they played against the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals last year, they had almost the same efficiency, but the Pistons did not shoot more than [-]% of their shots except for Hamilton and Mo Wen, which is okay.

But the Heat's Big Three are different. The Pacers can always maintain their defense, but even if they can't get easy shots, the offensive efficiency of the Big Three can still be maintained at more than [-]%.

Mo Wen's skill and shooting range, Wade's explosiveness and speed, and O'Pang's weight and figure are all things that can only be limited but not prevented.

The Heat have been implementing a path since the second quarter-to overwhelm people with momentum.

O'Neill: If you don't cooperate with your tricks and are shameless, don't blame me for being a hooligan.

Then the Heat will hand over the ball to three stars with a guaranteed shooting percentage of more than 4%. The efficiency is definitely not as high as the regular season, but it is worse than the Pacers who take turns to hit the iron.

The Pacers can persist until now, in addition to defense, it is better to control the offensive rebounds.

O'Pang returned from a leg injury and was not so keen on rebounding. Besides O'Pang, the Heat's height was not high enough, which gave the Pacers a chance to exchange shots for points.

Double-teaming is useful, but the key is that Wade was the Heat's main point guard last year, Mo Wen is the runner-up in assists this year, and O'Pang's coping ability in the interior is also top-notch, averaging 3 passes per game this season.

The Pacers tried to double-team a few rounds, and then the point difference was opened.

Carlisle has always believed in team basketball. The Pistons' championship last year proved that his basketball philosophy can be successful. However, facing such a difficult situation at this time, he found that the team still needs a player who can score stably in difficult times.

The two brothers Jr. and Artest have nothing to choose on the defensive end, but on the offensive end they are the difference between wet garbage and dry garbage.

The one defended by Da Ao and Haslem can only float in the mid-range and shoot, and the other, like a high-ping fighter, will press his head to the inside and then send a cap or hit the iron.

During the regular season, the team's second scoring point "Martial Saint" Jackson, his shooting percentage was barely over 40%, and his shooting percentage was further "refined" in the playoffs.

The Pacers are scoring the most stable now, but Miller, who is one year older and whose strength has further declined, should have hugged his teammates' thighs.

Mo Wen looked at Miller and wanted to buy him a drink after the game.

At the same time, the world is reduced to people.

"Rebound, Jermaine grabbed the offensive rebound again, they haven't given up yet, they haven't surrendered yet!"

"The ball was passed to Miller again, and Wade chased up again. He has interfered with Miller's shooting twice in a row. Watching it once... oh wait, Mo sneaked up from the side and shot Miller away. Hold the ball in your hand."

"OMG this is a deadly steal, the Heat are fast breaking again, but no one can keep up with Wade, the pinpoint pass from Mo, BANG!!
88: 80!With less than 2 minutes left, the Pacers have no chance, and the Heat's outside Gemini once again guarded the American Airlines Center! "

In the passionate voice of the commentary, Ao Pang leaned on Leitner next to him, and comfortably took the Gatorade that looked like a small milk bottle and drank the drink in one gulp.

Ton, ton—ah~
The needle does not poke these days.

"You won't be able to compete for the MVP next season." Laettner pushed O'Fat with his shoulder.

Ao Pang rolled his eyes and said in a lazy voice: "Hey, I don't lack that stuff, one MVP is enough, we oldman have to have self-knowledge, honor is something that is given to more energetic young people Bar."

In the past, Ao Pang was also a person who liked to show off and wanted to be the center of attention all the time, but after so many years, he knew very well that fame would not fall from the sky, and prosperity was built with blood and sweat.

He was very surprised to be selected as the second place in the MVP list this year, because he knew very well that, not counting as a substitute, the Heat's current starter should be the most luxurious configuration in his career. Much better than the first two years.

What, you said that cauliflower head also helped him digest a lot of ball possessions?
He simply digested the ball, and it didn't reduce his defensive pressure in singles. Compared with the two little brothers of the Heat, he was far behind.

(｀へ)
"Are you sure you'll retire next season? Won't you follow us for another year next year?"

Ao Pang looked at Leitner with some reluctance.

Not only does he feel that it is cool to let his old opponent from the past be his substitute, but also his acquaintances in the league are becoming less and less.

In 02, according to NBA official statistics, the average professional age of players who entered the NBA draft was only 4.7 years. The longer they play, the more lonely they will feel.

"What are you messing with? I'm tired of it. My body can't go on. If I can have a ring this year, I will definitely retire to accompany my wife and children. Speaking of your legs, don't end up having to work hard for me." Leitner He looked down at the jersey and said with a little melancholy.

"Hmph, don't worry, it's alright, if it really fails, I'll cut off your leg and replace it with me, so that you can feel a little bit involved."

"Dog, why don't you tell me to replace my big bird with you? Oh, I forgot that your RPG base can't fit the cannon." After speaking, Leitner looked at O'Neill's pocket with disgust. crotch cloth.

"Fake squid, are you looking for shit, Bichi?" Ao Pang, who was still smiling, his expression turned cold instantly, and he hooked Leitner's neck and said sullenly. "I heard that no matter how indifferent a man is, his intestines are hot. I'm curious, old Dirty (Lettner's nickname)."

"Emm, I know your wife is pregnant, and Riley is very strict. If you don't mind, I have a sheep on my farm. I can introduce you..."

"You are finished, Bichi, you are really finished, I said so!"

O'Pan and Laettner's fight on the bench didn't attract the referee's attention like some laughing nerd, because the scene on the court was more compelling than the two black and white bears fighting.

The Pacers also tried to replicate the fabled "Miller moment."

The Pacers who still wanted to struggle desperately also aroused the bloodiness of the Heat.

The movements of the players on both sides did not converge because the game was about to end, but instead became bigger and bigger.

There was a moment in the middle, when several players were obsessed with "confrontation" and ignored the scene of the intercepted basketball bouncing past them.

Basketball: I'm free!
The three referees were confused, they were calling the NBA, and they really didn't know how WWE should call the penalty.

Wait, we are talking about the NBA!
We are still the referees for this game.

beep-

The president said that he wanted to return the game to the game, but if he didn't blow it, the stadium would become an octagonal cage.

Finally, under the warning of the referee, the game cooled down.

Miller, who ran two chances on the outside, failed to make the miracle happen again.

The hole that could not be filled in the previous quarter was counted on the last few shots to complete the reversal. This is like a student who did not do any homework before the end of the holiday, all counting on "one person, one pen, one lamp, one night, one miracle."

The two teams ended 91:82, and the Heat "nearly defeated" the Pacers by 9 points.
