The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 502 Pacers' Offensive Climax
The ball was obviously fouled by Jaylen Rose, and Larry Bird had a headache again on the sidelines. Jaylen Rose managed to get a little normal in the previous two defenses, but Xiao Tian fouled the opponent once, and fouled twice. Their respective shortcomings are generally not as good as Jaylen Rose. I am really stupid. Why did I choose to renew Jaylen Rose during the offseason? This is a pitfall.

Xiao Tian got the chance to free throws, and naturally scored both free throws. The game began to develop in a direction that Larry Bird didn't want to see. After Richard Hamilton scored four points, Xiao Tian immediately took care of him. He continued to press closely. No matter how the masked man moved, Xiao Tian stuck to the opponent like a piece of dog skin plaster.

The offensive time is running out, and Mark Jackson can only shoot by himself. He actually has the ability to attack, but in most cases, he is just an existence responsible for passing the ball, and it is completely out of his turn to attack.

The ball scored, Mark Jackson heaved a sigh of relief, Xiao Tian was expressionless, even if Mark Jackson scored a goal, he would not change his defensive strategy, he or the Masked Man, who was more threatening, fools would know, although his passing was really powerful, but it was unrealistic to expect the passing to kill someone, because as long as the execution ability of his teammates was not 100%, then the opponent would have a chance to counterattack.

Xiao Tian came to the frontcourt, didn't beep beep, he still forced Mark Jackson, and when he got to the inside, he was facing Hamilton this time. Masked Man relied more on his brain in defense, while Jaylen Ross relied more on his body's reaction and a reckless spirit.

The mask man defended himself, which meant that Wu Sheng was empty. Xiao Tian immediately passed the ball over. Jaylen Rose defended well, but he overlooked one thing. He had already committed 2 fouls on himself, but Jaylen Rose completely forgot. Whether the ball can be scored is still unknown.

Jaylen Rose's face turned green, what the 3 fouls meant, he knew very well, and he couldn't help but look at Larry Bird's position. The latter didn't have any anger on his face, but chose to let Mullin play. Jaylen Rose did a good job in the defense just now. The average is only 6 points per game, but the number of shots per game does not exceed 4. In 4% of his time, he is fighting with the opponent.This kind of player is Larry Bird's favorite. Wu Sheng's contract should have expired. I hope the Grizzlies don't renew the opponent. Compared with the Grizzlies, the Pacers need this kind of titan more.Moreover, Wu Sheng is really underestimated in the Grizzlies lineup. He obviously has such comprehensive skills, but he is only used as a defensive vanguard.

Wu Sheng also made a free throw. The Pacers attacked here, and the ball flew into the hands of Rick Schmitz. The ball was a super long backcourt pass, and Rick Schmitz scored.Mark Jackson, you really can't underestimate him.

Xiao Tian broke through Mark Jackson and continued to the inside. The Masked Man didn't move this time. Facing the grandfather-level Mullin, Xiao Tian used Mullin's method to complete the shot. Mullin wanted to defend, but he couldn't do anything because he couldn't keep up with Xiao Tian. Larry Bird let him play just to drag the Grizzlies' defense on the outside.

In the second quarter, the two sides still played steadily, but the Pacers did not even the score until halftime. At 65:55, the Grizzlies entered the intermission with a 10-point advantage.

The end of Jaylen Rose had a huge impact on the Pacers' defense. The absence of a leading player on the outside made Xiao Tian even more desperate to beat the Pacers. In the half, Xiao Tian scored 20 points and 10 assists, and Mark Jackson also had 7, but the Pacers were 10 points behind.

Because Richard Hamilton is the absolute core of the Pacers at present, it is impossible for him to put all his energy into it. This can only be done by Jaylen Rose. Although this guy has many shortcomings, he is the two best defenders in the Pacers. Unknowingly, the scoring efficiency of these two guys is a bit amazing.

Larry Bird was having a headache. The way the game was played today was unexpected. Before the game, he had done a lot of homework, but he never thought that Jaylen Rose, an idiot, would foul three times in the half. If it weren't for his three fouls, the Pacers would not be so passive.

"We have to change, we can't sit still, Richard, you go to the small forward position in the second half, Al, Travis, you go, I hope you can use offense to help the team."

Larry Bird really worked hard. He wanted to change the lineup and replace the two best defenders with Harrington and Best. These two guys did not say anything else. In terms of offense, they did have more ways than Dale Davis and Jaylen Rose. Because the Pacers defended so hard in the first half, the Grizzlies still scored 65 points.

The change of Larry Bird made the Grizzlies unexpected. At the beginning of the second half, Paul Westphal was startled when he saw the opponent's lineup. The Grizzlies were on the bench because of the big lead. As a result, the Pacers, the most offensive lineup, played a wave of 2:12 in 0 minutes, and actually overtook the score.

The suspense of this game came immediately, and Larry Bird was not too excited, because the counterattack of the score was entirely because the Grizzlies were on the bench, not the starter. It was the right choice to change Richard Hamilton to the small forward position, because Harprin couldn't help him, and Schrempf and Ginobili were rarely lost. This gave the Pacers a chance. After all, the Pacers' paper strength is in the East.
