Chapter 505 Wizards version of 3-corner offense
In the opening jump ball stage, Hibbert still ruthlessly crushed Blatche. After receiving the ball, DJ Augustine dribbled across the half court. The Pacers played a small-scale pass-cutting match. Paul George used the screen to come out, but he It was just a bait, the moment he caught the ball, because he attracted the attention of the two Wizards insiders, which allowed Hibbert to turn around and rush to the basket.
At this time, George threw the ball above the basket, and Hibbert dropped the ball from the sky and exploded the basket, scoring 2 points!
The Pacers fans cheered in the Bankers Life Arena. Their team's first attack ended with a dunk, which showed that the Pacers' tactics were effective and the goal was very easy.
The Wizards players kept their faces calm and their hearts not beating. After serving from the baseline and arriving in the frontcourt, the Pacers still had at least two people waiting on Li Kaiming, but Sanders had already prepared a tactic to deal with it before this game.
Within halftime, Li Kaiming and Klay Thompson began to circle the figure eight inside the three-point line. Leonard and Blatche completely became two stubs. In this case, the Pacers still chose to defend Li Kaiming decisively and let Klay Thompson can get a split second to take action.
However, the Wizards' tactics were not over yet. After receiving the ball from the outside, Thompson did not take action directly. Instead, he waited for a moment. After the Pacers' defensive rotation came over, he passed the ball to Leonard and cut it in. At that time, the area from the penalty area to the three-point line was completely empty. Leonard could take shots without any scruples, and no one was guarding him.
This kind of ball paralysis is still no problem. The Wizards also scored two points and the two sides tied at 2-2.
The Pacers attacked. After arriving in the frontcourt, DJ Augustin called Hibbert to cover, and then the two of them walked toward the basket. Hinrich was stuck and could only follow behind. Blatche guarded Hibbert. Everyone was struggling, let alone defending one against two, so Augustin entered the penalty area and threw a high ball directly towards the basket.
At this time, Hibbert, who had already increased his speed, rushed over and grabbed the basketball with both hands in the air, and was about to dunk!
And at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared under the basket, and then took off vertically like a rocket, stretched out its long arms, and pressed firmly on the basketball like the hand of God from deep space!
Hibbert's dunk was directly rejected by Li Kaiming with one hand!
There was a burst of exclamations at the Pacers home court. This was because the fans thought Hibbert was going to dunk again, and then they sighed neatly after seeing the shot blocked.
The ball was pressed down by Li Kaiming. Neither he nor Hibbert could control the basketball. In the end, Leonard, who rushed in, had the strongest rebound awareness. His hands were like robot calipers and he grabbed the ball firmly!
Seeing this, Li Kaiming ran hard towards the frontcourt and shouted at Leonard, "Kawhi! Throw forward!"
After seeing Li Kaiming's actions, the Pacers players immediately reacted. From guards to centers, everyone began to run towards their own backcourt, just like prey being chased by wolves.
However, Li Kaiming is the fastest person on the court after all, and he has the advantage of starting, so he quickly became the person running at the front. Following him was the Pacers' No. 2 Lance Stephenson. , Leonard saw the opportunity and threw the ball forward. Li Kaiming ran to the three-point line and received the pass. At this time, Stephenson immediately followed up.
Li Kaiming didn't take this guy seriously. After catching the ball, he directly put his hands together. The ball protector hit Stephenson on the chest. Just as he was about to do a one-arm chop, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded!
Li Kaiming, who was already flying at this time, felt as if he was suddenly stopped when he was about to launch. He was extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable. After landing, he looked back and saw that the referee on the sideline made an offensive foul gesture.
Li Kaiming was shocked. He turned around and saw that Stephenson, who had just come to defend him with a tough look on his face, was already lying on the floor. When he noticed that Li Kaiming was looking over, this guy was throwing a ball at him. Got a wink!
vomit! Being looked down upon by such a big black man, Li Kaiming felt like he was about to vomit out his breakfast this morning.
As for the Pacers fans, after seeing Stephenson's clever performance to prevent Li Kaiming's fast break, everyone applauded Stephenson who was lying on the floor, and many fans who had been prepared raised his voice. A huge sign with Stephenson's picture was set up and waved constantly.
Although this is the home court of the Pacers, Li Kaiming still had a symbolic discussion with the referee. After all, there must be some pressure. It would be terrible if the referee tonight thought that it didn't matter how he blew it.
The Pacers attacked, DJ Augustin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Paul George and Paul George came out from the baseline and broke through directly after receiving the ball. In the mid-range, they met Li Kaiming who was assisting in defense, and then passed the ball to David West.
At this time, Leonard, who was chasing behind George, took the initiative to switch in front of West. When the latter saw that he was shorter than himself, he immediately started to push the ball towards the basket. After two hard pushes, he found that it was quite difficult. So he turned around and took a shot, but unfortunately he missed!
Hibbert was still fighting for offensive rebounds under the basket. If Blatche was left alone to face Hibbert, the rebounds would definitely be blown away, so both Li Kaiming and Leonard rushed in, and finally Li Kaiming used his bounce and wingspan to pick up the rebound.
However, this time he did not pass the ball to Hinrich, but dribbled all the way to the frontcourt. Hibbert was still behind because he was grabbing rebounds. In this case, the Pacers without a center could not stop Li Kaiming. Inside attack!
So he took a big step, dribbled the ball only once after crossing the center line, and then put his hands together to start a three-step layup. George, who was about to commit a foul, didn't expect it, so he could only watch Li Kaiming rush in.
And just after Li Kaiming took off, another dark figure came under the basket. It was Stephenson who had just defended Li Kaiming's fast break. This guy seemed to have tasted the benefits of the offensive foul just now and was ready to use his own. Physically, Li Kaiming committed a foul. If Li Kaiming had been fouled twice at the beginning, the Pacers would have won half of today's game.
It was a good idea, but in fact, when he was standing outside the reasonable collision area, Li Kaiming had already taken off from the ground. This kind of offensive foul was impossible to give even at his home court. The bottom line referee decisively signaled that it was Stephenson's blocking foul, and Li Kaiming also ended the offense with a soft pick-up basket.
2+1!
Li Kaiming walked to the free throw line and winked at Stephenson who was blocked. Since he wants to play this kind of psychological warfare trick, let's fight him to the end!
The extra free throw was made and the Wizards led 5-2!
The Pacers served to the frontcourt, Paul George used the screen to get rid of Leonard's defense again, and then took the ball and took a step to shoot directly, helping the Pacers bite the score.
The Wizards attacked. After Hinrich reached the frontcourt, Li Kaiming went up to cover. The pick-and-roll between the two attracted three defenders. Hinrich hit the ball to Li Kaiming, who was following the ball. When the latter caught the ball, the Pacers already had two Someone blocked his breakthrough route.
So Li Kaiming decisively chose to pass the ball to Leonard, who was open in the mid-range. After receiving the ball, the latter no longer hesitated like in the previous game. He shot directly and hit the board from the side!
The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides was to wait until the last few seconds before taking action. The main reason was that the Pacers deliberately pressed the clock because Vogel wanted to weaken the Wizards' offense. First, he wanted to reduce the number of rounds in the game, and then compress the rounds as much as possible. , to prevent the Wizards from playing fast break. After the first quarter, the two sides battled to 24-23, with the Wizards leading by 1 point.
The performance of the rotation lineup in the second quarter was quite satisfactory. By the time Li Kaiming led the five-way lineup, the score had reached 38 to 36. The Wizards still maintained a weak lead, which shows that the depth of the Wizards' lineup is indeed terrifying.
After switching to the five-out lineup, Li Kaiming became the team's center, while the Pacers still let David West guard him. Hibbert's body was still too bulky and could not keep up with Li Kaiming. speed.
The Pacers attacked. After Paul George came on the stage, he came out around the screen and passed the ball directly to Hibbert who was passing down.
Li Kaiming used his lower limbs to resist Hibbert, and at the same time stretched out his arms to interfere with the latter. Although Hibbert is taller than Li Kaiming, his ability to handle the ball is really poor, otherwise he can only be a pie-eating center.
Hibbert had already taken three steps after receiving the ball, but his rhythm was disrupted immediately after being hit by Li Kaiming. In the end, he could only barely make a crooked layup. The basketball circled around the basket and was snatched by Li Kaiming.
The Pacers retreated quickly, and the Wizards fell into a positional attack. In this round, the Wizards suddenly changed to a classic triangle offensive position. Hinrich, who was holding the ball on the outside, stood on the same side as Li Kaiming, while the other three people Pull it open to the other side to form a triangle, but the Wizards' triangle is further outside than that of the Bulls and Lakers, because at this time, power forward Lewis's outside threat is greater than his inside threat. This was specially designed by Sanders.
On the Pacers' side, David West still blocked the back-up Li Kaiming in the paint. At the same time, center Hibbert was waiting at the edge of the penalty area on the opposite side to protect the frame, while Paul George simply let Leonard go to double-team. Li Kaiming.
Because George came from the top line to double-team, Li Kaiming chose to turn around from the baseline. At this time, Hibbert under the basket also reacted and rushed over to protect the basket.
In this case, the advantage of having Lewis play the triangle offense at the fourth position was revealed. Li Kaiming first made a fake move by raising the ball, shaking Hibbert's hands, and then passed a long pass directly from the latter's side to the back. Lewis retreats to the bottom corner!
Because the person facing Lewis is Hibbert, who is protecting the basket at this time, Lewis's shot this time is completely open, and it is also his best three-pointer from the corner!
The basketball drew an arc in the air, and then hit with a loud bang!
41 to 36! The triangle offense worked wonders as soon as it started, helping the Wizards widen the point difference!
