Chapter 179 Restricting Ottoman

Oladipo's face was very ugly, and even his teammates looked the same. Everyone looked at Love and Li Yunchen strangely.

They still clearly remember that if it wasn't for the presence of James last year, they could easily beat the Cavaliers in the first round. At that time, they clearly felt that the Cavaliers would be a waste team without James, with no bright spots or even a particularly weak team.

But this year, the entire Cavaliers feels like a completely different team from last year, with top defense and top offense, and there are almost no major shortcomings.

Oladipo dribbled the ball and started the Pacers' third wave of offense.

On the side of the Cavaliers, Love, who just ran over, returned to his position, resisting Myles Turner inside, and at the same time staring at Oladipo on the outside.

"Shua!" Oladipo chose to pass the ball again, and then began to run, and his teammates also moved together under his command.

As I said before, the Pacers have successfully transformed into a "modern" team in the past two seasons, and their offensive rhythm and offensive methods have changed towards the Warriors.

Oladipo changed the opposing player and faced Yunchen. This is what he asked for. Like most people in the league, he also believes that the biggest weakness of the Cavaliers' defensive end is Yunchen.

The ball was returned, and Oladipo, who had been blocked twice, started to break through again.

"I don't believe you can keep up with my speed!" Oladipo gritted his teeth, this time the breakthrough speed was extremely fast.

However, Yunchen ignored him and let him rush in with almost no defense. There, Love once again waited in Oladipo's best shooting position.

Almost the same playbook as the first two offenses.

However, the NBA is the NBA after all. Players here can make the same mistake once or twice, but they will never make it a third time.

Oladipo didn't make a further breakthrough. Just after passing Yunchen, he stopped immediately at the place where he broke through, and a super long-distance two-pointer came!
"Huh?" Yunchen and Love were surprised at the same time. Oladipo's shooting from this distance is basically the same as shooting a three-pointer, and he is very far from the basket.

"Shua!" Oladipo made the shot quite decisively.

In this position, Le Fu couldn't block the cover, and Yun Chen couldn't do it, so he could only watch the basketball fly past their eyes.

"Crack!" Oladipo's touch was very soft, and he hit it steadily!Got the Pacers' first point!
2-4.

"It's true that you are different from before, but we are not so easy to deal with!" After shooting, Oladipo sneered provocatively at Yun Chen behind him.

"Oh, is that so?" Yun Chen didn't show weakness, but fought back forcefully.

The game continued, the Cavaliers attacked, Hill held the ball halfway and handed it to Osman, who organized the attack at the top of the arc with the ball, and then handed the ball to Yunchen on the right side of the three-point line.

Osman followed to pick and roll, and Yunchen broke through.

This operation stunned everyone on the Pacers team, because in their impression, Yun Chen would never be the ball-handler in a pick-and-roll attack, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Watch him closely!" Oladipo smelled the danger, and immediately ordered his teammate Bogdavic to go up and follow up the close defense.

"Hehe..." Yun Chen sneered, and immediately accelerated to break forward, instantly opening the distance between him and the defender behind him.

"Wow!" Seeing a defensive loophole, the players of the Pacers became nervous for a while, Turner on the inside immediately went up to defend, for fear that Yun Chen would shoot from the middle distance.

They know that Yunchen's mid-range shooting percentage this season is as high as 56%, which is a very terrifying shooting percentage.

However, just as Turner left the inside line, Oladipo on the outside line saw this scene and yelled anxiously: "Go back! You have been tricked!"

But the game is changing rapidly, as long as there is even a second of mistakes, the Cavaliers can definitely catch it!
Yunchen saw the opportunity, and directly passed the ball to Love who was emptied.

"Crack!" Love received the ball, his eyes were fierce, he took off and dunked, and the Pacers in front of him were empty inside!
"BNAG!" He dunked vigorously. Now Love seems to be dreaming back to the time when he was in the Timberwolves in the 13-14 season. The ability to seize opportunities on the offensive end is extremely strong!

2-6.

The Cavaliers' bench immediately gave a standing ovation, and the team's start performance was exceptionally strong!
"Beep!" However, to everyone's surprise, just as they were celebrating, the head coach of the Pacers actually called a timeout and called his players back. He seemed to be a little anxious .

"Pause so early?" Yun Chen was a little dazed, a little uncomfortable with the other party being so cautious.

At this time, the game was less than 2 minutes into the game, and they handed over the first timeout.

Everyone in the Cavaliers returned to the bench, and the oncoming Tyronn Lue was full of joy.

"Ah, you played really well, Li, the cooperation between you and Kevin is perfect!" Tyronn Lu caught Yun Chen and boasted that the players played well, which is the best for the head coach honor.

Yun Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, stop bragging, and take a break quickly, the other party's call for a timeout must be a new tactic."

When Tyronn Lue heard the words, he immediately put away his smiling face and became serious: "Lee is right. According to my understanding of Nate McMillan, he should let their players perform double-team tactics, but specifically to double-team. I don't know who."

"Teaming?" Yun Chen frowned slightly, which was not a good signal.

Their current offensive tactics, what they are most afraid of is that the core of the inside and outside line will be double-teamed. Whether it is Yunchen or Love being restricted, it will cause huge obstacles to their system.

After a while, the game continued and players from both sides returned to the field.

The Pacers have the ball, Turner plays, and Tyreke Evans holds the ball to organize the offense.

After being reminded by the head coach, the Pacers seemed to be a lot more cautious offensively. Instead of giving Oladipo a single, they kept moving the ball to try to play tactics.

Bogdavic faced Yun Chen with the ball, and directly opened the shot without fake moves. Yun Chen immediately stepped forward to block the shot, but it was a fake shot and a real pass to Myers Turner inside.

Turner held the ball, hit Thompson with his back, and then shot a small hook directly.

His wingspan is extremely good even in the entire NBA. At this time, he showed a huge advantage. Thompson couldn't defend at all, and he scored a goal.

4-6.The Pacers stabilized the rhythm.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Cavaliers attacked, Hill took the ball to Osman, and still let him organize the offense.

However, as soon as Osman got the ball, Oladipo and Tyreke Evans next to him defended the past, and instantly compressed his ball holding space to a very small point!
"This..." Yun Chen was stunned immediately, the opponent's head coach was such a thug, neither defending Yun Chen nor Love, but chose to restrict the passer Osman.

This is tantamount to taking down the Cavaliers' offensive secondary school center, and not giving them a chance to organize an effective offense!

Moreover, Osman's ability to dribble and face high-pressure defense is not strong. Being so close to two people, the ball in his hand was taken out in an instant!
"Crack!" Oladipo has quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately started a fast break when he got the ball!
