I'm really a slam dunk

Chapter 149 The First Round of the Eastern Conference【4000 words for subscription】

The fans all expressed their regret for the Pacers.

The Pacers have really been an eventful team in recent years. First, the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills caused the main players of the Pacers to be suspended.
Then came Miller's retirement.
And the departure of powerful players like Artest,

All hit the Pacers hard,

This leaves Rick Carlisle with no available lineup.

of course……

From Du Qi's point of view, this makes Du Qi happy.

The more unlucky Rick Carlisle is, the happier Dookie will be.

……

In the second quarter of the game, Jermaine O'Neal played his peak skills and frequently hit the basket of the Nets.

Rick Carlisle's tactics also worked well.

On the Nets side, Jason Kidd was somewhat uncomfortable because he was cooperating with the bench lineup. In the second quarter, there were unexpected mistakes, which caused the Nets' scores to decline.

This is not a worry for the Nets.

Until the game reached the 9th minute and 30th second of the second quarter, when the official timeout entered, the scores of both sides had been tied by the Pacers!
This makes the assistant coaches of the Nets a little worried.

"Coach Painter, do you think we need to send the main players on the field?"

The coach, Coach Jesses, was also a little unsure, so he asked Coach Painter for his opinion.

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Our substitute lineup showed no signs of panic. There were less than three minutes left in the first half."

Bishop Jesses nodded: "Indeed."

So there was no player change.

When the first half of the game is over and the halftime break is entered, the scoreboard will read:

46 is better than 43!

Unknowingly, under the leadership of Jermaine O'Neal, the Pacers not only tied the score, but also surpassed the Nets by 3 points!
After admiring the sexy and hot dance of the basketball babes of the Nets, the players of both sides returned to the sidelines from the locker room.

The two sides exchanged positions and prepared for the second half of the game.

"Under the leadership of Jermaine, the Pacers have overtaken the score, will they survive the desperate situation?"

"Probably!"

"I don't think so."

"Ok?"

"In the previous game, the Pacers broke out in the G1 game, and they were crushed by the Nets in the back.
It is now at the home court of the Nets. It is not easy for them to easily win the Nets.

and!

most importantly,
It was the second quarter of the game, the main lineup of the Nets, but they didn't play much.

Only Kidd organizes the offense on the court. The ace of the Nets and the troika of the Nets, which are the most troublesome for the Pacers, have not really shown their power yet. "

"This... is hardcore~"

The fans were talking.

At the beginning of the third quarter, on the Nets side, all the main players played, and Jason Kidd remained on the court.

On the Pacers' side, there was a player rotation, but O'Neal Jr. remained on the court.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pacers had the ball.

Pacers point guard Jamal Tinsley broke through and passed the ball to O'Neal. Just when Nenad Krstic was about to block O'Neal, the latter very decisively passed the ball to the power forward. Jeff Foster,
Jeff Foster found an open opportunity, jumped up and dunked,

Bang!
Goal!

48 is better than 43!

"From the current point of view, the balance of victory may not necessarily tilt towards the Nets."

"The Pacers' tactics are still very practical. Coach Rick Carlisle is not a vegetarian after all."

"Yes."

When the game progressed to the 5th minute and [-]th second of the third quarter,
The Pacers have unknowingly widened the point difference to 9 points!
58 is better than 49!

"pause!"

At this time, Bishop Jesses was forced to call a timeout.

Calling the players back to the sidelines, said:
"Nenard, you go off the court to rest for a while, and let Collins replace you at the center."

"It's the coach."

"Collins, the opponent's center forward is very experienced, and you need to deal with him as a veteran. You have to work harder."

"Understood." Jason Collins replied.

"Jefferson, when you move, help Collins when necessary. The task of the two of you is to keep an eye on their ace O'Neal."

"Yes, coach."

After thinking for a while, Bishop Jesses set his eyes on Du Qi again, and said meaningfully: "Du, your performance in the back is very average, you should actively move your position."

Du Qi is drinking water to rehydrate,
Before Du Qi put down the water bottle, Jesses said:

"You are our heavy-duty three-point shooter from the outside, don't waste your talent."

Duke said:
"I understand the coach, the difference of 9 points, what a joke~"

"..."

If someone else spoke like this, Kidd and the main players of the Nets would look down on them, thinking that this person was bragging, but this was said by Du Qi. Will doubt Duke's scoring ability.

"Okay, let's go!"

……

The game continues.

The atmosphere of the fans at the scene is a bit tilted towards the Pacers, this is the home court of the Nets...

Du Qi flashed the idea of ​​whether to use his hole card.

This idea was decisively given up by Du Qi.

Because the playoffs have just begun, and there is still a long way to go, the cards must be used wisely.

Moreover,
Just because I'm in a bad state doesn't mean I'm not in good shape, right?Moreover, the difference of 9 points, as I said, is trivial, just three 3-pointers.

So, when the ball was in Kidd's hands, Duke said to him:
"Remember to give the ball~"

"Understood. Du, you don't have to repeat lines like this every time. Just give me a look and I'll understand."

"..."

Du Qi suddenly discovered that this base still has some sense of humor.

soon.

Du Qi ran through the half and came to run his own position.

Kidd also dribbled the ball through the half court, looking at the six directions, not only looking for Du Qi's position, but also for other players' positions.

quickly,

Du Qi ran out of space at a 45-degree angle on the left wing, and Kidd gave the ball with quick eyes and quick hands.

Huh!
Du Qi stretched out his right hand to catch the ball, and the opponent's scoring point guard Fred Jones rushed forward immediately.
Bang bang bang, Du Qi dribbled the ball quickly, retreating to the three-point line behind him,
"Fred, watch out for his three-pointers!"

O'Neal even reminded Fred Jones in the paint.

Also as an All-Star player, Jermaine O'Neal still knows Du Qi very well, and his fear of him is printed in his mind.

His voice just fell,

Du Qi, who has retreated beyond the three-point line, has already jumped up, aimed and shot.

Fred Jones jumped up to interfere with the block, and his jumping ability is also top-notch, but when he jumped up and was about to interfere with Duke, Duke fell back, making him unable to do anything.

I can only watch helplessly as the ball thrown by Du Qi draws a beautiful arc over the court, and then,

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

wow~~~
The fans in the audience were boiling:

"I'm resurrected!"

"This is the strength of the Nets' trump card!"

"Yeah, three-pointer Du Qi!"

"Excellent!"

58 is better than 52!

For the Pacers on the sidelines, Bishop Rick Carlisle almost had a heart attack when he watched the scoreboard change.

He still remembers the grievances between him and Du Qi,
In the 2003-2004 All-Star Game, he was scolded by fans for "snowing" Du Qi, and when Du Qi won the MVP in the 2004-2005 All-Star Game, he deliberately spoke out to the media taunt him,
All of this made him not want Du Qi to perform well.

But things backfired, and Du Qi behaved like a bomb!
……

When the game reached No. 11 minutes of the third quarter,
Du Qi's activity has unknowingly wiped out O'Neal's advantage,
65 to 65 level!
"My God! I didn't expect the ace Du of the Nets to be so good...he scored in double figures in the third quarter."

Rick Carlisle sat in the Pacers' coach chair, his face somber the whole time, and he looked like he could squeeze out water at any time.

The assistant coach looked at his face, and finally couldn't help but came to his side and asked:
"Li Shuai, do you need to call a timeout to change tactics?"

"..."

Rick Carlisle didn't answer, but just raised his head and gave the assistant coach a gloomy look... This one glance made the assistant coach shut up. Rick Carlisle's face was gloomy, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

After the assistant coach regained his composure, Rick Carlisle couldn't help standing up from the coach chair,
Rubbing my temples with some headaches,
There is both the helplessness that there is no way to change the status quo, and the annoyance that I shouldn't have treated my colleagues like that just now...

The game is still going on.

With the Pacers' possession of the ball, O'Neal pushed straight forward, and under the obstruction of Nets center Jason Collins, he still pulled the bar and scored a goal.
67 is better than 65!

Give the Pacers players some encouragement.

But there are also hidden dangers,

Little O'Neal Jermaine has already developed subtle fatigue, the main manifestation is that his breathing is a little uneven and he has become a little short.

When the third quarter ended,

Pacers shooting guard Fred Jones made a mid-range shot to give the Nets a four-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, 69-65.

"The Pacers haven't given up yet!"

"Of course! The game is about never giving up!"

The difference of four points is not pressure at all for the Nets.

But for the Pacers who have no home field advantage, it is the biggest encouragement in the last quarter!
soon.

The fourth quarter is about to start.

The Nets' possession of the ball,
Jason Kidd dribbles past half court.

just see,
Du Qi was actively running on the right wing, and soon ran out of the open space, gave him a look, reached out for the ball,

Kidd understands,

With a bang, the ball hit the ground and directed to Du Qi not far away,

Du Qi received the ball that hit the ground with both hands, and with two bangs, without the slightest sloppy, he withdrew to the three-point line.

The Pacers shooting guard Fred Jones, who was in charge of facing Ducci, jumped up to block the interference, but he was a beat slower than Ducci.
Swish!
Hollow into the network!

69 is better than 68!

wow~~~
The fans in the audience immediately burst into excitement.

"It's only 1 points away!"

"Du is worthy of being the ace of the Nets. The speed of chasing points is really terrifying!"

"It's so scary!"

At this time, it will be a great test of the personal ability of the Pacers star.

Jermaine O'Neill is fighting high,
In the next time, he hit the basket frequently, and Nets center Jason Collins desperately guarded,
Probably because of Jermaine O'Neal's lack of physical strength, his shooting percentage began to decline, and his state was not as good as the first three quarters.

It is also true,
Gave Vince Carter a chance to grab rebounds,
"Kidd, get the ball—"

In the third minute of the fourth quarter,
Carter took off the rebound on O'Neal's head again, and after falling to the ground, without a word, he found Kidd's position and passed the ball long to Kidd.

Bang bang bang!
After receiving the ball from Carter, Kidd rushed to the frontcourt of the Nets.

"Defend!"

"quick!"

The Pacers players looked dignified, and one by one quickly lowered their defenses to stop them.

Pacers point guard Anthony Johnson immediately caught up with Jason Kidd. When Jason Kidd passed halftime, he opened his arms and lowered the center of gravity of his body, defending in front of Jason Kidd. Staring at the ball in Kidd's hands.

blocked,

Kidd, who has always disliked offense, gave up his fast break plan.

Boom!

The dribbling rhythm has obviously slowed down. He has to wait for his teammates to run to his position, and then organize the offense.

"Take care of your own people!"

"cheer up!"

"Defend this ball to the death!"

Under O'Neal's weird cry, the Pacers players seemed to have been injected with chicken blood one by one.

While Kidd was dribbling, he kept his eyes on six directions,

His gaze was more focused on Du Qi,
At this time, he saw Du Qi flash left and right, running out without the ball. He was about to pass the ball, but saw the opponent's defender following closely again.
Du Qi also gave a wink that he couldn't pass the ball.

Huh!
Kidd decisively gave the ball to Richard Jefferson who came out of the inside.
Jefferson got the ball and was about to make a mid-range pull-up when the opponent's forward rushed over. He broke through and passed the ball to Vince Carter.

When Carter received the ball, he went to the basket, jumped up and dunked.

His excellent jumping ability directly dunks Peja Stojakovic into the basket,

wow~~
There was a wave of cheers from the audience.

81 is better than 80!

With Carter's goal, the Nets overtook the score and led the Pacers by 1 point.

Next, Ducci hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, which directly overwhelmed the Pacers.

But the Pacers coach, and players such as O'Neal did not think about giving up,
Even though the balance of victory has been tilting towards the Nets, they did not give up lightly.

But their defeat is already being sealed.

Pacers star O'Neal's physical strength began to decline, his condition was not good, and he could not be a good spiritual leader.

Until the last attack in the fourth quarter,
Nets center Jason Collins dunked a goal and opened the score to 6 points before the Pacers gave up.

Di-

The referee blows his whistle and the game is over.

91 is better than 85!

The Nets led the Pacers by 6 points and took the Pacers, stopping the Pacers' playoffs here.

"we won!"

"The Eastern Conference semifinals are next!"

Nets VS Pacers, played six games, with a total score of 4 to 2.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for defeating Jermaine O'Neal and receiving an experience reward of 10000 points! 】

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for leading the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals and getting 10000 experience points! 】

at the same time,

The first round of the East and West competition is also gradually coming to an end.

East side.

The Cavaliers, headed by the little emperor, fought the Wizards for seven games, and finally defeated the Wizards in the tiebreaker and won the tickets to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Heat's strong group easily ended the Bulls.

The Pistons were even more perverted, sweeping the Bucks directly and becoming the first team to get tickets to the Eastern Conference semifinals in the first round of the Eastern Conference.
