Standing on the free throw line, Li Cheng made a very steady penalty.
The Pacers recovered the three points immediately after the timeout. Their change on the offensive end has been seen by some people, and then everyone wants to see their performance on the defensive end.
However, in the subsequent defenses of the Pacers, everyone did not see any change in them.
Li Cheng was still forced to defend Reid, and other defense players helped him if he had time to come and help him, but he simply gave up if he had no time to help him.
After several changes in offense and defense, everyone can see that the Pacers want to defeat the Bucks by attacking.
Bucks didn’t make any defensive adjustments, and obviously they thought the same thing as the Pacers.
The success rate of Li Cheng’s singles Yi Jianlian is very high, and so is Reid’s singles Li Cheng. Both teams are betting that their players will get more points.
"The Pacers’ method of giving back their own way really worked. After Li Cheng assisted Murphy to score this goal, they overtook the score."
"The bucks here haven’t called a timeout yet. It seems that they trust Reid."
"I can’t do this! Yi Jianlian is about to be beaten to collapse in the defense of Li Cheng again and again! Li Cheng faced Yi Jianlian and hit four in five shots. "
"Bucks still didn’t call a time-out. The game in the third quarter will be over in 1 minute, and the Pacers have already overtaken by 3 points. Look at this last minute, what kind of score will the two teams maintain to enter the final quarter! "
Chapter sixty-one Defeat
In the third quarter, neither team called a timeout, and they fought until the end of this quarter.
At the last moment of this competition, Li Cheng finally stopped Reid’s attack under Granger’s double-team, and the Pacers got a chance to fight back.
Bucks retreated quickly, but after two simple knocks, Li Cheng once again found the opportunity of Yi Jianlian in singles.
"Sung Jae Lee always leans back when attacking, and his body leans, which seems to have no influence at all."
"The most important thing is that his hit rate is still extremely high, which is the most horrible."
"Look at this ball li cheng will be how to deal with it! This time his position is deep, and Yi Jianlian has completely covered the space inside with open arms. "
Yi Jianlian thinks he should be able to prevent this goal. Li Cheng’s catching position is already in the reasonable collision zone, and no one will shoot at this position. Yi Jianlian is confident that the defensive area after opening his hands can prevent Li Cheng from throwing the ball from any angle.
If the ball is handed to Kobe Bryant, he will use his low-post footsteps to teach the inside players who defend him to be a man.
But Li Cheng is not Kobe. He doesn’t have Kobe’s skills, but he has his own way.
Li Cheng made a simple pump fake, then he took a shot at the basketball, took a step horizontally, then leaned back directly and threw the ball to the basket with one hand.
The ball was grazed by Yi Jianlian’s fingertip, but it still grazed the front of the basket and got in.
Yi Jianlian shook his arm in annoyance, but his action was meaningless.
On the last attack of the Bucks, Reid threw the ball in a hurry. It hit the backboard and then bounced to the basket, but in the end it bounced out.
The Pacers entered the final contest with a 5-point lead.
In the third quarter, Li Cheng made 5 of 6 shots and hit a free throw. He scored 11 points in this quarter. Together with his 16 points in the first half, he has scored 27 points in this game.
In this quarter, because of Li Cheng’s targeted attack on Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian’s performance in the third quarter declined compared with the popularity in the first half, and he only scored 6 points and 2 rebounds in the third quarter. After the third quarter, Yi Jianlian scored 16 points and 9 rebounds, which is a very excellent performance compared with his previous performance.
O ‘Brien didn’t make tactical adjustments when the Pacers were five points ahead, but he did make some adjustments in personnel.
Li Cheng and Granger will continue to play in the fourth quarter, and O ‘Brien wants them to go up and continue to attack and win the opponent directly. Everyone else was replaced by O ‘Brien. When dealing with Bucks, others really didn’t play as big a role as Li Cheng and Granger. The two of them can directly kill the bucks.
Bucks finally made an adjustment, and they made a targeted arrangement for Li Cheng. They still decided to follow the routine that everyone was familiar with before-cut off the connection between Li Cheng and others and cut off the pass from the pedestrians to Li Cheng.
Bucks do this to liberate Yi Jianlian, who is in an extremely hot state today.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yi Jianlian hit a shot, and then grabbed a rebound in the frontcourt to make up the basket. He scored four points in a row, bringing his score to 20 points tonight, and also grabbed the tenth rebound tonight.
Yi Jianlian played the level of first-class power forward, and the data of 20+10 is a watershed for all the insiders in the league. The insiders who can win this data per game are all powerful figures in the nba.
Today, Yi Jianlian can play this kind of data, and the fans in China have completely fallen into the cheers of madness. With Li Cheng’s warning, China fans began to fantasize that Yi Jianlian could become the second China player to soar in the nba after Li Cheng.
Seeing that the difference was reduced to only one point, O ‘Brien decisively called a time-out.
The reason why the Pacers were able to attack in the third quarter was mainly the result of strangling Yi Jianlian and releasing Reid. Now that Yi Jianlian scored 4 points in a row, O ‘Brien immediately called a time-out and prepared to decorate.
O ‘Brien replaced Deng Liwei Jr. and Daniels, and he put on a small lineup directly. He wants to solve the problem of inside through the projection from the outside.
Yi Jianlian’s defense has always been a big problem, and O ‘Brien’s move is not awkward.
The game started again, and the Pacers’ four little guys circled around the perimeter. As the tallest player in the Pacers’ field, Sean Williams’ job was just to pick and roll.
Li Cheng started running again, and Granger made a pick-and-roll match with Sean Williams and went straight to the inside. Yi Jianlian, who was pulled out of the inside, had to defend himself, but it was too late. Granger hit a layup easily.
The pacers’ situation on the court was stabilized again.
And this time, Deng Liwei Jr., who is determined to seize every opportunity to brush the data, suddenly made efforts at this time. He made three consecutive shots on the perimeter, plus Li Cheng and Granger jointly contributed two CIC. The walkers scored 10 points in 2 minutes, and the walkers completed a wave of 10-4 attack in an instant.
Next, the pacers didn’t stop their attack.
Daniels’ breakthrough forced the Bucks not to expand too much, but the existence of Li Cheng and Deng Liwei made it necessary for the Bucks to ensure the outside defense.
Because of the bedding of the third quarter, the pacers changed their formations after the fourth quarter, and the defensive formation of the Bucks was taken away for a while. On the offensive end, the Pacers’ defense is not strict, but they have always maintained a certain defensive rhythm.
Pacers in defense, the key defense is Yi Jianlian. As long as Yi Jianlian doesn’t lift the ball over his head after receiving it, what is waiting for him is to break the ball.
Yi Jianlian’s ball was cut by Daniels again, and the Pacers organized a counterattack again. Granger caught the ball and ran wildly. After two shakes, he passed the ball and found Li Cheng. Li Cheng’s CIC hit again, and the Pacers established a 13-point lead.
"After the Pacers changed into a small lineup, the explosive power of this score is really high! In just 4 minutes, they established a 13-point lead. "
"After playing the whole game, they were only five points ahead at most, and four minutes ago, the Bucks had chased the difference to one point, and now it has suddenly widened to 13 points."
