I'm really a slam dunk

Chapter 57 We are the champions of the Eastern Conference!
"If we continue to use the strategy of two people marking the No. [-], it will be a great disadvantage to us!"

"I think so. The two man-marked the Asian kid, although he was greatly restricted, but the kid's fadeaway is so good, sometimes there is really no way to deal with him.

And we have to use an extra player because of this.

Overall not good! "

"How to deal with it?"

"Since defense is not good, then we will change to offense."

"Changed to attack?"

"Yes, I observed that Asian player carefully. His outside output ability is really strong, but he is not good at defense!

If we also replace an outside output player..."

As soon as I mentioned this, Rick Carlisle understood instantly:
"I understand what you mean, that is to say, since the defense will only make us suffer, we might as well give it a go, send our outside shooters, and shoot three-pointers!
The best defense is offense! "

Finished.

Rick Carlisle's eyebrows finally stretched.

But in the Pacers' current lineup, there are not many good outside scorers.

finally.

They negotiated to use Reggie Miller as the core of the offense on the perimeter:

"Miller, you are called 'Mr. Key', I hope you don't let the team down this time, and I will give you as many balls as possible.

Don't think about going inside to score,
You just need to shoot from the outside.

Insider, I will focus on arranging and testify that nothing will go wrong! "

"Yes, coach."

Reggie Miller complied.

"Okay, this game is a life-and-death battle for us, we must win it!"

Rick Carlisle stared at the Pacers players one by one, "We entered the playoffs with the No. [-] score in the Eastern Conference.

Get to the final here.

We can't get beat by the Nets here.

We want to win the Eastern Conference Championship, and we want to win the NBA Championship!
Do you understand? ! "

"understand!"

Back at halftime.

When the Nets and Pacers players played, fans found that in addition to the Pacers having a major player rotation, they also found that their mental outlook was different:

"Look at the Pacers, all the players look different!"

"Yeah, such a look in the eyes is so fighting!"

"This is our Pacer!"

"Well, they have the spirit of not admitting defeat and not admitting defeat!"

On the field, Kenyon glanced at the lineup of the Pacers in the second half, came to Du Qi and Kidd and said:
"The Pacers sent three big men this time, seemingly to control the inside."

Kidd laughed:

"Don't be afraid, our outside line is enough to shoot them to death."

"..."

There was no time for small talk, and the third period soon began.

Pacers possession of the ball.

Point guard Jamal Tinsley dribbled the ball across half court, faced Kidd coming to defend, dribbled behind his back, and drove to the right.

Kidd defended very well. Jamal Tinsley made an emergency stop, dribbled the ball under the crotch twice, and shook Kidd. Guided the past.

Reggie Miller received the ball and faced Duke's defense, he felt no pressure.

If before, Reggie Miller would break through to the inside inertially.

But now he gets outside shooting duties.

then.

He jumped straight up.

"Ok?"

Du Qi was a little surprised, he opened his hands, lowered his body center of gravity to defend... He, Miller, jumped up directly!

This is not in line with his style!
boom!
Smash the iron!

really.

Not everyone is like me, good at outside three-pointers.

"Grab the basketball!"

"quick!"

Du Qi is on the outside, so he is naturally out of reach.

Then the Nets discovered how powerful the Pacers are inside.

Those three big guys, Jermaine O'Neal and the other two big guys stuck inside, easily grabbed the rebound, followed by easy shots, and scored the next goal.

huh~~~
The fans cheered.

"The score is tied!"

Outside, Du Qi suddenly felt very relaxed.

Kidd naturally saw the opportunity and began to guide the ball to Duke frequently.

Swish!
"Three points earned!"

Swish!
"Another three points scored!"

But Duqi did not make every three-pointer. After making two three-pointers, he missed three more goals without interference.

And so,
The three missed shots, without exception, were all snatched by the Pacers' giants under the basket.Even if the Nets center Jason Collins tried his best, he was stuck in the position.

Kenyon didn't do anything either, and could only watch helplessly as the rebound was taken away.

The Pacers grabbed and immediately counterattacked.

After Reggie Miller received the ball, he shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Du Qi stepped forward to defend, but Du Qi's defense was so bad that there was nothing he could do about Reggie Miller.

Du Qi jumped high, but the speed was still very slow.

Reggie Miller can make a jumper with a few flashes.

At this moment, Duke shook away again and jumped up.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

wow~~
The Pacers fans in the audience are boiling:

"Reggie Miller!"

"Three points!"

"As expected of Mr. Key, this three-pointer is so handsome and key!"

When the third quarter hit the 10th minute, the Pacers had surpassed the Nets by 8 points!
sidelines.

Nets bishop Jesse stood up and reached out for a timeout.

"The Pacers finally showed the arrogance of the king's teacher!"

"I am the Pacers champion!"

At this moment, the emotions of the fans at the scene were all high.This is the Pacers' home court, and they really want to see the Pacers comeback.

"Jie Shuai, our problem lies in the inside line."

Back to Jesse, Kenyon Martin directly stated the problem.

"I know."

Jesses nodded. As a player on the field, Kenyon Martin could see the problem. As a bishop, how could he not see it from the outside?

"So the situation is very bad for us.

I discussed with Coach Painter and decided to let Du play inside.

Kidd, you rest first and let Kenyon handle the ball for you. "

This decision made both Kenyon and Kidd stunned.

Before they could speak, Jesses continued: "But Kenyon, after you take the ball, you have to quickly get inside. You may have to work a little harder next."

"Okay, coach."

Kenyon obeyed the arrangement.

Jesses replaced Kidd and sent a backup center. He said to the backup center: "Your task is to go to the outside and defend Reggie Miller instead of Du."

Uh……

I have to say, this arrangement is weird.

But since it was the bishop's arrangement, they couldn't say anything and just obeyed.

When it's time to play,
Jesse's eyes fell on Du Qi:

"Du, the Pacers want to control the inside to score. If they control the inside well, Reggie Miller on the outside will have nothing to fear.

and so.

Next, the inside will depend on you. I hope to grab a few more rebounds.Collins and Jefferson will help you. "

"understand!"

When the timeout came back, the fans were surprised when they saw the player changes on the Nets side:

"Actually let a center level guard Miller on the outside??"

"What a novelty!"

"That's right. Let the Asian No. [-] go inside. What is the Nets trying to do? If you want to lose the game earlier, just say it."

"Hahaha……"

There was a roar of laughter.

But when the ball was given to Reggie Miller, Reggie Miller was uncomfortable.

Facing the player Du Qi just now, he felt no pressure.

Even if Du Qi jumps very high, he is not afraid because he is faster than Du Qi and can wobble.

But when facing this big Nets substitute center, he not only felt the pressure from his size, but also felt that the opponent was also very fast and his body was very coordinated!

Reggie Miller has always been known for his solid pitching, so when he broke through the dribble and swayed people to find opportunities to shoot, he finally found that he couldn't find the right opportunity at all.

Forced to be helpless.

He had to pass the ball to the inside.

Huh!
A figure suddenly jumped up, jumped very high, and directly intercepted Reggie Miller's high throw pass.

Take a closer look.

Who is it if it's not Asia Ten?
It was Du Qi who stayed in the paint.

"This kid—"

Reggie Miller cursed secretly, he was still a little anxious to pass the ball.Thought it was thrown high and the ball could be passed to Jermaine O'Neal.

Du Qi steals the ball, immediately protects it in his arms, and stands still.

Kenyon started to run quickly.

"Kenyon—"

Duqi passed the ball to Kenyon, and Kenyon took the ball and ran toward the Nets' frontcourt.

"Back to defense!"

"Get back on defense!"

"That nasty Asian kid!"

Pacers bishop Rick Carlisle's complexion changed, and the elation just now no longer exists.

He couldn't help but look at Jesses.

Jie Shuai, your hand is really beautiful!

The fans of the Nets cheered, especially when Du Qi completed the steal, the screams were very loud.

Kenyon quickly took the ball across half court.

His speed is fast, and the speed of the players on the Pacers side is not slow.

Without a fast break opportunity, Kenyon stabilized the ball on the outside and waited for his teammates to move.When the substitute center ran over, he gave the ball to the substitute center and then cut inside.

The backup center played the guard position on the outside and was very uncomfortable.

Saw Kenyon cut inside and passed the ball.

Reggie Miller wanted to stop,

But the height difference, the height difference!
Reggie Miller wants to cry but has no tears.

As soon as Kenyon got the ball, Metta Shiping, that is, Ron Artest, came forward to mark it.Artest was at his peak during this period, and his confrontation ability was very strong.

Kenyon played a post-up game and pushed inside.

The arch is almost done, and the reflex is a jumping shot.

Artest jumped up to interfere, and Kenyon shot a little hastily.

boom!
Smash the iron!

Did not enter.

"rebound!"

Jermaine O'Neal stuck Jason Collins, and the Pacers' two big men also cut inside.

Seeing the rebound fall, they jumped together.

Huh!
At this moment, a figure arrived first.

"It's number ten!"

"Fuck! Asians can jump so high?!"

"Did you make a mistake?"

To the surprise of the fans, Duqi jumped the highest and grabbed the rebound. At this time, he was in the perfect position.

Du Qi aimed at the basket, and the moment he caught the ball, he decisively dunked the ball into the basket.

Bang!
in!

wow~~~
The audience suddenly entered a big climax.

Not only Du Qi's fans, but also the Pacers fans screamed:

"Omega~ It's simply too shocking!"

"What a shock!"

"This Asian boy seems to have infinite power!"

Duke grabbed the rim and dropped to the ground next to Jermaine O'Neal.

Du Qi was so excited that he fell in love with the feeling of dunking.

At the moment of dunking into the basket, it was so cool!
Du Qi couldn't help running up and retreating, with a confident smile on his face.

"Du, you did a great job!"

Kenyon Martin gave a rare high-five to Duke and expressed his praise.

"In less than 1 minute, the Nets have recovered 4 points!"

"Great!"

"The Nets are stronger than we thought!"

The Pacers players looked at Duke.

The score advantage they managed to gain was shattered by this kid!
"What kind of Asian weirdo is this!"

But the Pacers players did not feel lost in the slightest.

Outside there.

Although Reggie Miller is very limited, but the backup center outside the Nets, his organizational skills and ball-handling ability are far inferior to Jason Kidd.

Mistakes also occurred.

The Pacers scored again.

When the third quarter ended, 63 to 57, the Pacers led by six points entering the fourth quarter.

Although there are advantages, Pacers bishop Rick Carlisle is not happy.

"That Asian kid, not only can he score on the outside, but also on the inside... he also has two brushes!"

Hearing what the coaching staff said,
Rick Carlisle almost didn't go berserk.

"I never imagined that a kid from a failed draft would have such a strong talent!"

This is the inner monologue of coach Rick Carlisle.

Du Qi was too difficult for him.

Soon into the fourth quarter.

At this time, the fans at the scene were in a state of extreme excitement.

The fans' shouts were not overwhelmingly against the Pacers.

Especially when the ball is given to Du Qi, or when Du Qi grabs a rebound, the whole court will erupt like a tsunami.

In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, just when the Pacers players thought Du Qi would be on the inside, they suddenly saw Du Qi appearing in the left corner.

Nets center Jason Collins decisively gave up the confrontation with Jermaine O'Neal and passed the ball long distance to Duke.

"Du, you are empty!"

"this is a good chance!"

Du Qi dribbled the ball, retreated beyond the three-point line for the first time, and then shot without interference.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

There was a huge climax in the whole place.

Because of this goal, Du Qi directly overtook the Pacers with the Nets' score, 82 to 80, leading the Pacers by two points!
"Pacers are dangerous!"

"It's too dangerous! Now the Nets are very comfortable with the deployment of the Pacers. And the more they play, the smoother they are.

Especially the No. 10 player, he is so threatening.

Whether it's inside or outside.

If you don't pay attention, you will fall on him! "

"hateful!"

Rick Carlisle was so angry that his chest heaved and he called a timeout.

But after calling a timeout and returning, after tactical adjustments, it still couldn't stop the Nets from counterattacking.

Just like that, in the last second of the fourth quarter.

Kenyon Martin dunked a basket and directly killed the game.

The Nets beat the Pacers 87-85.

In the end, 4 to 1, the Nets won the final and won the Eastern Conference championship.

I also got tickets to the decisive battle for the NBA championship in June!
