Chapter 563 Unplugging the Defensive Pillar
After the Pacers returned to the home court, their defensive intensity became stronger and their defensive actions were also greater, but the referee did not whistle a foul because of this.Obviously, in this game, the referee's penalty scale is very wide and confrontation is encouraged.

DeRozan's layup was interfered by Hibbert-miss!
Here, David West of the Pacers stormed the basket and was interfered by Ying Xiong's help defense-none!

The two sides fell into hand-to-hand combat at the beginning, and they both did a good job in protecting the penalty area.Except for Stephenson's free throw, the two teams did not score a point in the opening nearly 3 minutes.

I don't know if it is because the confrontation is too fierce, which affects the shooting feel of the outside line. The players of the two teams are constantly hitting the iron.

After the opening, Ying Xiong made sudden shots and took 2 shots, but failed to score.The defense against him is extremely tight.Paul George deserves to be the defensive gate of the striker. Whether it is physical condition or defensive technology, he is an elite level in the league's wings.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played extremely fiercely, neither scored more than 20 points, and the offense was very strenuous.Both teams have done a good job defensively, and the outside shooting percentages of both teams can be described as appalling.

In Ying Xiong's view, the Pacers' defensive strength has obviously been upgraded in the playoffs.Without Granger, their defense was stronger.It's really not a team that is easy to deal with. Any team that thinks about them will have to shed their skin if they don't die.The Pacers' biggest threat to their team is actually not Paul George and George Hill on the outside, but the two on the inside who attack and defend.

Because of David West's excellent low-post scoring ability, the Raptors dare not easily play a small lineup of one big and four small, for fear of being penetrated by the opponent; also because of the existence of Hibbert, they are good at scoring. It is difficult to play a good match, the success rate of breakthrough is not high, but there are many mistakes.

For a team that focuses on breakthroughs, the opponent has a big gate inside. If you want to revitalize the team's offense, you must unplug this inside pillar.

Ying Xiong quickly grasped the essence of the problem, "So what if the referee's standards are wide, it won't be true that fouls are not blown, right?"

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over, and he saw Ying Xiong winking at him.The two are often together online and offline, and they have already cultivated a tacit understanding, knowing what the meaning in each other's eyes is.

Jeremy Lin pretended to call Bargnani on the inside to come up with a pick-and-roll. As soon as the opponent's attention shifted to his side, he suddenly gave the ball to Ying Xiong who cut out from the right wing.

Ying Xiong didn't even call for a screen, and caught the ball with his left hand. Facing Paul George, who was strictly guarding him, he lowered his center of gravity and broke through with his right hand with lightning speed.

Paul George didn't expect that he stepped on the accelerator and broke through without making any adjustments. After a little hesitation, he slowed down by half a step.

Ying Xiong's speed is very fast, and he holds the ball from the right side of the wing and kills the penalty area.He didn't even slow down much, and went straight to Hibbert on the inside.

In Ying Xiong's view, for an insider like Hibbert who often jumps vertically to block shots, if you layup under the basket by avoiding blocks, it is difficult to cause him to foul, and it is easy to get blocked.Moreover, the penalty scale of this game, general physical confrontation, will not call a foul.

Ying Xiong rushed straight into the penalty area, facing the iron tower-like Hibbert, he did not hide or hide, and went straight to the difficulty.

The fans at the scene gasped, this shit, is he still trying to make a buckle?

Ying Xiong didn't want to block the dunk, but to make a foul!Of course, if you try to lure Hibbert into a foul without aiming to make a goal, it may be self-defeating.

Of course, Hibbert would not allow the opponent to dunk on his head, of course he explained clearly the movement of his blocking hand.But even so, the defensive side will suffer after all, especially when the opponent jumps so high and is about to dunk.

Yingxiong's dunk missed, but Hibbert still fouled. His hand hit Yingxiong's forearm and was caught by the referee.

Hibbert tried to explain, but it can be clearly seen from the slow-motion playback that if he didn't hit Yingxiong's forearm, the ball would have been dunked!
This was Hibbert's first foul of the game, enough to see how well he protected himself.

Ying Xiong stood on the free throw line and made two free throws steadily amidst the disturbance of the away fans!

Here Stephenson rushed to the basket and also caused a foul by Amir Johnson.

Since Amir Johnson has committed 3 fouls, he was replaced by Valanciunas.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over and gave it to Ying Xiong who came out to catch the ball.

Ying Xiong holds the ball to the left, facing Paul George's single defense, suddenly starts, crosses and changes direction to the right hand, changes direction again during the march, throws off the defense, faces Stephenson's assist defense, pulls the ball from his crotch and shakes After taking the big leap, and then facing Hibbert, he suddenly made a wonderful fake move, directly shaking the opponent up.

Ying Xiong took advantage of the situation and leaned up, causing Hibbert's foul again!
The moment Hibbert took off, he knew he had been fooled, and he regretted it endlessly.

Hibbert was fouled consecutively by Ying Xiong within 1 minute.Obviously, the opponent's current goal is quite clear, that is, to knock him off the court.

But Hibbert has nothing to do with him. He is the team's last line of defense under the basket. If he relaxes a little bit on the defensive end, the inside line will soon lose serious blood loss.No one can help him fill his position, which is also the sad reminder of the inside gate.

Ying Xiong made two free throws, Hibbert aggressively protected the rebound, let out a roar, and vented the anger in his heart.

Here George Hill's mid-range shot was taken by Jeremy Lin!

Valanciunas took the ball and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

Ying Xiong still came out to catch the ball. At this time, he suddenly changed his style and called Valanciunas on the left wing for a pick-and-roll.

Valanciunas's pick-and-roll quality is much better than that of Bargnani, and he quickly rolls down after the block.

After Ying Xiong used the pick-and-roll, he quickly changed his direction and rushed to the other side. In a hurry, the opponent naturally let go of the less threatening Valanciunas, and the two rushed towards him together.

Ying Xiong passed the ball without looking at people. From the gap between Hibbert and Paul George, he hit the ball to his teammate Valanciunas who went down to the basket. The latter caught the ball and faced the empty basket. Easy one-handed dunk!

Coach Vogel was so angry that he directly asked for a timeout. Obviously, the situation on the court was completely controlled by the opponent at this time, and the players had been played around by Yingxiong.

But as soon as the timeout came back, Ying Xiong broke through the basket again and went straight to Huanglong, causing Hibbert's third personal foul...

In this case, Coach Vogel had no choice but to replace Hibbert, the inside gate, with Hansbrough.
