NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 352 The decisive game has arrived! More effective than tactics is madness!
After Lin Tian hit the dunk this time, the Pacers did not choose to press the whole court again. Instead, the team quickly retreated and returned to their respective defensive areas.

In a game of this level in the NBA, the full-court press tactic focuses on taking the opponent by surprise and attacking him unprepared.

If you take advantage and take advantage, you have to change your tactics quickly. If you continue to fight, it will be easy for someone to conduct it a few times and then penetrate it easily.

But the restoration of half-court defense does not mean that the Pacers' defense has relaxed.

When a team's head coach, general manager and absolute core have more and more dirty minds than the last, then the team's tactics must also be many and dirty.

For example, the Bucks have just relaxed their vigilance. Cassel dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and just wanted to call a tactic and hit a success rate to stabilize the team's decline.

But just after the half-time in Cassel, before anyone could stand still, Lin Tian's pressing force suddenly came again, and this time it came faster and harder!
Lin Tian's feet were almost directly inserted into Cassel's legs, making it impossible for him to break through quickly. At the same time, in addition to Lin Tian, ​​other Pacers players also suddenly worked hard to expand their defensive area. Increased his defensive strength.

Expand the press defense in the half!
Lin Tian's defensive intensity was huge. In the defensive flaw he intentionally exposed, Cassel was forced to barely move towards a 45-degree angle on the right side, but just when he reached 3 meters outside the three-point line , Carter’s double team is coming!

Cassel had to spend all his energy to deal with Lin Tian, ​​how could he dare to wait for Carter's defense to come up completely.

He immediately passed the ball laterally and gave the ball to Ray Allen on the other side.

This is what the 'alien' is made of: chicken thief's positioning and super high basketball IQ!

His expression was no longer as relaxed as before. He stared at Lin Tian with his eyes, changing from a friendly version of ET to a vicious alien.

There was Kassel, who had come in from behind to pat the horse.

Robinson faced Webb with the ball. He had an absolute advantage in mobility and speed. He used two consecutive shooting fakes to deceive Webber's center of gravity. Then Robinson immediately dropped the ball to break through, rushed towards the basket, and rushed up from the base. While assisting in defense, a two-handed pass was given to the center.

Then look for opportunities to drive the opponent into a defensive trap and steal the ball.

But after all, zone defense tactics have begun to appear.

Then Weber came up too! He and Christie completed a double-team on Allen on the left!

On the other side, facing Christie, Allen could only break forward toward the left sideline.

Ever since the U.S. team was cornered by Lithuania and other teams at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and was beaten by the Chinese team and lost the championship, the NBA has been thinking about how to improve so that the U.S. team can regain its hegemony in the world arena.

The Pacers play like this every day because Webb's passing skills are good, because Lin Tian is fast enough and has good ability to get rid of, and because they are practicing this thing when they have nothing to do.

Well, of course, at present, the effect is not obvious. After all, Americans have not played zone defense since childhood, and the coaches' research on zone defense is obviously not as good as those old tricksters in Europe.

But apparently, that's what the Pacers want him to do!
He just took two steps toward the middle, and Lin Tian came!
Lin Tian and Christie once again double-teamed Allen. This time Allen could not escape. The basketball he was carrying was taken out by Lin Tian. Then Lin Tian dribbled the ball again to launch a counterattack, and Christie He moved a step very insidiously and stood in front of Allen, preventing him from quickly returning to defense.

Carter, who was unguarded, caught the ball outside the 3-point line and took a shot!
"Shh!"

In less than 2 minutes, he scored 8 points, 2 steals and 1 assist in a row, leading the team to quickly beat the Bucks!
And his data has reached 29 points, 15 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals! Another near-perfect performance.

In addition to still maintaining the three-second defense rule to ensure viewing, the rest of the league's restrictions on zone defense have been completely lifted.

3 seconds later, Lin Tian dribbled to the 3-point line and threw it. He raised his hand and hit another 3-pointer!
24 points!
The Pacers continue to expand their lead!
The Pacers' defense is really exciting!

But Cassel didn't even have time to take off after taking the ball. Lin Tian, ​​who had been blocked by someone just now and was thrown away by him, still caught up with him, reached out behind him, and destroyed the basketball!
Daben hugged the basketball that was knocked out by Lin Tian, ​​and then gave the ball to Lin Tian immediately.

It relies on the outside mobility and excellent defensive ability of the Pacers to drive the opponent's ball carriers to both sides of the court and then double-team them, increasing their passing distance and difficulty, making it impossible for them to pass quickly. Complete conduction and transfer.

The Pacers' counterattack begins again!
This time, Lin Tian was still dribbling the ball in the middle, and the rest of the Pacers were scattered around the court. However, because Lin Tian started at his own basket, when he came to the frontcourt, the entire defensive formation of the Bucks It has been successfully positioned and there is no chance for him to switch offense and defense.

But if you occasionally use it to scare people, it will definitely have miraculous effects.

Just when he knew that it would be difficult for him to break through Lin Tian quickly to complete the attack and wanted to be steady, a voice suddenly came to his ears.

Its benefits are equally great as its risks. Even if you use it all the time, there is a high probability that the risks far outweigh the benefits.

But you do this in front of the Pacers?
That's obviously a trick, seeking death!
Cassell did catch the basketball, but he couldn't get rid of Lin Tian at all. After getting the ball, he staggered and almost made a mistake, let alone a quick attack.

"Snapped!"

After Lin Tian's chasing three-pointer, the Pacers had already launched a 2:10 offensive climax within 0 minutes. Lin Tian was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this wave of offensive frenzy!

A knowledgeable person can tell at a glance that this is an expanded version of the half-court 1-2-2 zone defense!

This goal must be scored! Otherwise, the Pacers would have climaxed at the end of the quarter, and their fourth quarter game would really be unnecessary!
After arriving in the frontcourt, the Pacers did not do any more work this time, but started traditional man-to-man defense. After Cassel observed, he also gave the ball to Glenn, who currently has the greatest matchup advantage. ·With Robinson in hand, I hope the big dog can complete a beautiful single score.

Although he is a point guard, he can always appear in the right place and receive passes from teammates to directly complete the offense.

After a whole season of experiments and cover-ups, this season, the league officially announced: Starting from this season, the league will no longer impose any restrictions on regional defense!

The covert and sneaky zone defenses that each team had used from time to time began to appear more frequently this season, and more teams began to try to play zone defenses.

With 38 seconds left in the third quarter, Cassel of the Bucks once again dribbled to the frontcourt.

After almost passing Cassel in one step, Lin Tian quickly turned around and dribbled, leaving behind Caffey who stepped forward to help defend. Then, before Pope and Robinson came up to help defend, another one suddenly stopped looking. Passed the ball from behind and once again threw the ball to the baseline.

But after Allen got the ball, the Pacers' defense changed again. Carter stayed by Cassel's side, but Lin Tian had already moved sideways quickly toward the top of the arc.

After Carter hit the ball, he only left less than 8 seconds of attack time for the opposing Bucks. Robinson, who came to the baseline to serve, seemed to be stunned. There were clearly 8 seconds left, but he still chose A very irrational long-distance pass!
He threw the ball directly to the frontcourt with one arm, hoping for Cassel to complete a quick score.

"Shh!"

Facing the defensive formation of the Bucks, Lin Tian turned a blind eye and had no intention of making the final attack steadily. The Bucks' defense seemed to him like paper, and he "teared" , and was completely torn apart by Lin Tian.

Of course, this kind of defense also has a great gambling nature. Once the opponent's passing ability is good enough, they can easily find opportunities to pass the ball to their missed teammates, and then let them easily complete layups. Score.

After another crisp sound, the score difference between the two sides reached 27 points!
Lin Tian's 25-point goal was exceeded ahead of schedule!

At the same time, on the inside of the Pacers, Ben was guarding the inside alone, cutting off the connection between Allen and the inside, preventing him from easily hanging the ball inside.

Seeing that he would have to be double-teamed by three people if he continued to break through, Allen had no choice but to turn quickly and dribble back toward the center, hoping to get some extra space.

Carlisle's expanded zone defense is actually a modified version of the full-court press. To put it more bluntly, it is a half-court press defense.

"Sam! Here! Give it to me!"

When Cassel was forced into a bit of a panic by Lin Tian, ​​he didn't have time to analyze who the voice belonged to, so he passed the ball directly.

But as soon as he took the basketball shot, he knew he made a mistake!
The guy across from me is wearing a damn white jersey! Instead of Bucks green!
Christie!

When did this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes become such a sinister bastard?
Christie, who received Cassel's pass, didn't even say thank you to Cassel. Instead, he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Ray Allen had just faced him when he suddenly headed to the left. Throw the ball into the empty space on the side.

Just as the basketball was about to fly out of the sideline, Lin Tian's big hand had already appeared. After grabbing the basketball, Lin Tian even had time to feint into the air. Cassel, who was chasing closely behind him, immediately took off. He passed by Lin Tian in a flash.

"Sam, are you going back to your home planet?" After spewing out his first trash talk against Cassel in this game, Lin Tian rushed to the end of the third quarter to have some free time. 3-point shot!
"Shh!"

After another crisp sound, Lin Tian hit another 3-pointer!
The Pacers stretched their lead to 30 points!
16: 0!

In the last 2 minutes, the Pacers went on a 16-0 offensive spree, beating the Bucks to the bone!

A game that originally had a glimmer of hope was completely defeated in an instant. Facing a team like the Pacers, trailing by 30 points in the final quarter, there was really no need to continue playing.

The Bucks were completely stunned!

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Pacers did not get even one of their starting players, and unilaterally declared the game into garbage time early.

Even without the starting players on the court, the Pacers' bench faced the Bucks' main force who still wanted to give it a try. They did not fall into a disadvantage in a short period of time and maintained a lead of about 30 points.

After Karl persisted for a few minutes, he also knew that nothing could be done. It was impossible to turn the score back in this game, so he no longer forced it and replaced his own with 8 minutes left in the game. All the main players announced their surrender.

110: 138!

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, although the Bucks scored 110 points tonight and the three Musketeers also scored more than 70 points together, they still lost by a full 28 points!
There is no way, who makes the Pacers opposite them stronger and more powerful. Even the Pacers' firepower is the first and top level in the entire league history?

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all!
In the second and third games of the series, the Bucks recovered from their decline and did not lose nearly 30 points like they did in the first game. They lost less and less.

They lost by only 11 points in the second game at the Conseco Center, and even took a 5-point lead in the last 1 minutes of the fourth quarter.

When the third game returned to Milwaukee, they even maintained the lead in the first three quarters. Until the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, they still had a 3-point advantage!

But in the next 2 minutes, the Pacers' balance, strong firepower, rich experience and better star quality allowed them to successfully overtake the score and win the final victory of the game.

3: 0!

The series once again came to a match point, and the Pacers once again had the opportunity to sweep their opponents and advance easily.

But this time, they failed to continue their strength and winning streak during the playoffs.

In the fourth game of the series, the Bucks' three Musketeers finally ushered in a huge explosion. Ray Allen hit 7 three-pointers and scored 31 points. Although Cassell only scored 13 points and had 5 turnovers, but still sent out 18 assists!
The biggest contributor to the team's victory was 'Big Dog' Glenn Robinson.

The former No. 26 pick relied on his mobility, size, and strong dislocation ability to destroy the Pacers' forward line. He made 17 of 3 shots in the game and 2 of 2 11-pointers. He made 9 of 45 free throws and scored 11 points and rebounds.

Under his crazy outburst, the Bucks finally successfully defended their home court and left a little dignity for themselves!
Became the first team to defeat the Pacers in the past 6 series.

They also finally ended the Pacers' crazy winning streak in the playoffs.

The Pacers' playoff winning streak since last season has finally come to an end!

15 consecutive wins last season, 7 consecutive wins this season, 22 consecutive wins in total!

The highest record in NBA history!
They became the first team in NBA history to win 20+ and 15+ consecutive victories in the playoffs! The dominance they showed during the playoffs was simply thrilling!
But for the entire league, it is a pity that the Pacers did not feel any regret or loss because of this loss.

On the contrary, all these people were very excited!

"There is nothing to worry about. We are leading 3:1. If we are behind 1:3, that's when we need to be serious." Miller curled his lips, still looking arrogant.

"I was blown away. I couldn't guard Glenn. It's that simple." Weber was one of the few guys on the team who still maintained a trace of ferocity at this time: "I will fight back in the next game. I will Kill Glenn! I will let him know that the gap between me and him is huge!"

"Tonight he was just lucky, he had enough energy to jump up and punch me in the knee. In the next game, I will bury him in the ground again."

"What? 22 consecutive wins? No. in history? So many? I have no idea at all! I'm super satisfied! We have already shown great strength in the past games." When facing the media, Carter maintained his usual attitude Sunlight.

"What does the end of the winning streak mean to us? It means that the next wave of winning streak is about to begin." Lin Tian shrugged domineeringly: "It also means that we can finally advance at home. How long have we not been at home? Winning a series at home?”

"It's time to give our fans a little gift, let them watch us advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!"

"By the way, how is the match between the 76ers and the Magic? The Magic are already leading 3:1? That's great! I hope they won't capsize in the gutter. Allen's energy is much greater than they imagined!"

The Pacers' arrogance, defiance and domineering state undoubtedly stung the hearts of every Milwaukeean.

I just defeated you, but you are already thinking about your opponents in the next round?
Are you still worried about whether your opponent will be overturned?

Arrogant!

"Kill them!" Before the start of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, George Karl was frothing at the mouth and roared crazily: "These arrogant and disrespectful bastards! They don't respect us at all! Beat them to death!" Let them know how tough and fierce Milwaukeeans are!”

"The cold environment has created our unyielding character! The cold can't defeat us, and neither can the Indiana people!"

"Tonight, I will not say that we must become the first team in history to come back from a 0-3 deficit, nor will I say that we must advance to the Eastern Conference Finals."

"But tonight, kill the Indianapolis and make them answer for their words and arrogance! Let them see our bloody nature! Bring the game back to Milwaukee!"

"Yes! Kill them!" All the Bucks were stimulated to death by Carl's roar. A group of fierce bucks stood up and walked into the Conseco Arena with high morale!

On the other side, in the Pacers' home locker room, Carlisle still maintained his usual elegant style. He did not sit on the stool in the middle of the locker room like Bird did, but moved a chair and sat squarely on it. above.

No matter what attitude and appearance the Pacers have shown to the outside world in the past few days, internally, they have no intention of looking down on the Bucks. The Bucks have proven their firepower in the last game and have proven how difficult this team will be if they let those three guys open up completely.

Therefore, in the past two days, Carlisle conducted very rigorous drills on the team's defensive system and defensive matchups, and made very sufficient preparations.

It's not just Carlisle who made full plans before the game and was ready to give the Bucks some surprises.

The players also worked hard during these two days of training without slacking off at all.

As the Bucks' opponents on the court, they know better than anyone how difficult the Bucks are.

"Do you remember the tactics we practiced in the past two days?" Carlisle cleared his throat and began to formally lay out the tactics for tonight's game.

"Glenn beat us in the last game. His offensive skills are so comprehensive. He can shoot 3-pointers, he can pass the screen in the mid-range and then directly catch the ball and shoot jumpers, and he can also break through the frame behind the ball. , and he can post up all opponents smaller than him in the low post.”

"In other words, he is proficient in all ways to score. He is good at sending the ball into the basket in all ways. He can hit anyone out of position! In the last game, he broke through and scored again and again against Chris, but When we switch to Doug to guard him, he will use his strength to score points in the low post. "

"And when we switched to guarding him, he shot from mid- to long-range again and again."

"He has the talent to become the league's top scorer. His skills have been polished in college. His ability to surpass Hill, Kidd, and Howard to become the No. 1 pick relies on his comprehensive and amazing scoring skills! "

After praising Robinson fiercely, Carlisle changed the subject and continued: "However, he is lazy, does not strive for progress, drinks alcohol, has bad living habits, does not participate in training, and you even used his game video this year to argue with him in college. If you compare the periods, you will discover one thing.”

"This guy has made almost no progress! The bad playing habits he had in college can still be seen in him. The shortcomings and weaknesses he had in college are still there. He has hardly polished his skills and has not allowed himself to have anything. progress."

"So he averaged 21 points per game in his rookie season, but his entire career has been at this level! To be honest, his last game was just a temporary burst and he just had turkey for Christmas."

“Who doesn’t have turkey for Christmas?”

"It's just that in order to prevent him from eating turkey for two consecutive games, we still have to make some arrangements. Lin, as soon as the game starts tonight, it will be up to you to defend Glenn, cut his way down, lower your center of gravity, and He pushes out of the elbow area, allowing him to attack at the top of the key and further away from the basket.”

"Vince, you are in charge of Ray. You can go up a little bigger, not giving him any space to shoot, not allowing him to take any mid-to-long-range shots, forcing him to break through, and then Ben, pay attention to assisting in defense, and be ready to block Ray's emergency stop at any time. Jump shot or force the basket.”

"Doug, you are responsible for that monster Sam, use your height and weight to cover him, give him half a step of space in the mid-to-long distance, block his passing route, and prevent him from easily organizing and passing the ball. , let him fight alone, let him shoot."

"Chris, you have the heaviest job tonight! You have to carry the offensive banner of the team. We will attack you at the beginning. I will give you a chance to prove that you are 10 times better than Glenn, but can you do it? It’s up to you to get it, but I believe you won’t let me down or let the guys down!”

"Okay, that's about it. Do you have any questions?"

Carlisle quickly determined the strategy for tonight, and after assigning tasks to everyone, he clapped his hands and stretched out his hands to signal everyone to shout the slogan together for the last time. After that, all the Pacers walked out of the locker room and ran to the court.

After leading 3:1, the fifth game of the series officially begins!
The starting players of both sides stood on the court, and with the roar of the fans at the Conseco Arena, the referee threw the ball into the air!
Ben used all his energy this time, jumped up high, touched the basketball first with a 'pop' sound, and slapped the basketball into Lin Tian's hand.

"Don't be in a hurry!" After taking the ball, Lin Tian let the basketball bounce on the floor. He held his hands high, signaling everyone not to rush and slowly settled down.

Then, Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and then immediately gave the ball to Weber, who was reaching for the ball high on the wing.

After Weber got the ball, facing Robinson, who had beaten him in the previous game, he suddenly lowered his focus and said: "How did you feel in the last game? Remember that feeling, you will never have such a highlight moment in your life. "

"And tonight, your feeling will be completely opposite to the last game!"

In response to Webber's provocation, Robinson said disdainfully: "Come on Chris, if you were really that good, you would have beaten me in the last game! Let's put it this way, without Lin, you are just a complete softie and garbage. !”

"A girl who can only hug thighs! Do you think I will be afraid of you? Do you think I will worry about you? Huh?"

"Shh!"

Before Robinson could finish his words, Weber had already pulled up a jumper and easily scored 2 points!
"Fighting is for wimps! But Chris Webber will send you back home and beat you until your poor old mother won't recognize you!"

In the Bucks' offense, Robinson, who had just been humiliated by Webber, angrily came to his best waist position and reached out to grab the ball and hit it hard.

But after he stood firm, he was surprised to find that the person defending him turned out to be Lin Tian!

"Huh?" Robinson said disdainfully: "Lin, are you looking for death? Maybe you are the best point guard, but if you play against me, I will definitely beat you to a pulp!"

"Try it." Lin Tian said, secretly giving Robinson a waist rub, pushing Robinson back half a step, and then Lin Tian quickly stepped forward, occupying the little space given up by Robinson. .

Then Lin Tian continued to put pressure on Robinson, making it impossible for the guy to dribble or exert force. Lin Tian was very embarrassed when he was pushed up!
It stands to reason that in this kind of opportunity, Robinson should directly hit the inside and hit hard. This is the best and most efficient offensive method. However, Robinson wants the ball a bit far away from the basket. At the same time, Lin Tian The strength of his lower limbs is really strong now!
If Lin Tian is asked to cover those traditional positions 4-5 or those who are taller than 210 centimeters, he will definitely not be able to do it. But for a swingman like Robinson who plays the outside position 3-4, Lin Tianna I’m really not afraid!
Not only is he absolutely powerful, he also has faster footwork and a steady and sharp strike speed. When a tall forward encounters Lin Tian, ​​it is difficult to dribble the ball or directly enter the offensive mode!
Being extremely embarrassed by Lin Tiantian, Robinson could only choose to blast the ball vigorously on the spot, then retreated slightly to create a distance, and then pulled up to shoot a long-distance jump shot.

"Boom!"

But this kind of shot is the most difficult and unstable way to score even for top shooters, let alone a tall striker like Robinson?
Take action with confidence and just strike!
Weber grabbed the rebound, glanced at the frontcourt, and instead of passing the ball, he dribbled the ball toward the frontcourt.

This guy who is full of talent and has a gorgeous playing style dribbled the ball all the way. It was only when he was outside the 3-point line that he finally met Robinson coming up. The Bucks' defense was in place.

But how can it be too late at this time?

Weber dribbled the ball with his right hand and moved to the right, quietly slowing down his advancement. Then at the moment when Robinson relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly made a quick and stealthy change of direction dribbling, dribbling the basketball to the left. He quickly stepped sideways, stuck his position, and then suddenly increased his speed!
The Bucks didn't expect a power forward to play like a defender. They couldn't react at all, and there was no one to help defend and cover the position. Webber had already taken three steps and two steps to get to the basket.

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, Weber succeeded in a one-arm dunk. After the start, he scored 4 points in a row!
In the next Bucks' offense, Lin Tian gave Robinson a more powerful and fierce confrontation.

He started to confront Robinson from outside the 3-point line, desperately pushing him towards the 3-point line, making it impossible for him to come to the area he was familiar with to catch the ball.

As for Cassel, he was tightly covered by Christie, who was half a head taller than him. Without the speed advantage, Cassel was helpless against Christie's defense.

After several runs and screens back and forth, the Bucks' tactics failed to work out. In the end, they could only give the ball to Allen, who cut out from the inside to ask for the ball.

After Allen got the ball, Carter immediately rushed to defend closely!

In terms of Carter's defensive ability, it is obviously unrealistic for him to lock Allen and watch him to death. This is not what Carter is good at.

But if you just let Carter defend closely, prevent Allen from shooting, and let him break through, then Carter will definitely not disappoint!

Noticing Carter's close defense, Allen immediately chose to lower his center of gravity to break through and successfully passed him. However, he had just reached the free throw line when Ben had already rushed over and interfered with his shooting rhythm.

In desperation, Allen could only accelerate again and forcefully hit the basket.

"Snapped!"

But this time, just when he reached the basket and was about to collect the ball and take off to attack the basket, he felt a sudden light in his hands and the basketball disappeared!
Lin Tian!

At some point, Lin Tian let go of Robinson to help defend the basket!

And when he saw the opportunity, he cut it off and slapped the basketball out of Allen's hand!
Then Lin Tian hugged the basketball and threw it toward the front court. The basketball once again came into the hands of Weber, who had already started running wildly!

With the basketball in his hand, Weber quickly started the push mode again. He waited until everyone else had passed halftime before two outside defenders, Cassel and Caffey, stood in front of him, trying to break the basketball from his hand.

But who is Weber? His vision looks at positions 4-5 throughout the history of the league, which are definitely among the top five! Long before Cassel and Caffey came up, he had already calculated what he was going to do next.

The basketball responded and flew towards the basket.

When Caffey and Cassel double-team Webber in this position, it means another thing-

The Bucks are in trouble at the basket!
"boom!"

Then there was a bang, and Carter, who was about to leave, rose into the air, held the basketball with both hands with his back to the basket, and then smashed it towards the basket behind him.

Another signature back-up alley-oop dunk!

The DJ at Conseco Center immediately played the air raid siren to remind the Bucks to be careful of air raids!
"This is not an ordinary fighter jet coming to attack! This is an aerial threat brought by UFOs from outer space! Welcome to destruction Milwaukee!"

Along with the DJ's excited roar, the entire Conseco Center once again let out an overwhelming cheer and shout!

Their home team did not disappoint!

After losing an away game, the players they supported really woke up! Sure enough, they started a crazy attack on the Bucks!
So far in the game, the Bucks have not scored a single point!
They were completely stunned by the Pacers' sudden change in defense and changes!
Carr stood up off the court, crossed his hands, and called the first timeout of the game.

Mainly attacking Weber + mismatched defense, Carlisle's change of tactics at the beginning really caught the coach off guard.

Karl couldn't help but glance at Carlisle across the technical stage.

Are all young people today so cruel?
Something must change!
Otherwise, Karl believes that with the Pacers' fierce start, the point difference can be opened to more than 5 points in 10 minutes!
In the away game, if you fall behind by double digits right from the start, then this game can really be surrendered in advance.

As for Karl’s arrangement?
It's actually very simple.

"Glenn, you go and cover Sam! You two play a pick-and-roll!"

"Ray, go to the weak side and prepare to shoot directly after receiving the ball!"

"Glenn, cut me inside immediately after the pick-and-roll. I want you to show off the momentum and ferocity of a bulldozer! No matter who is in front of you, crush them!"

"Yes!"

Increase your aggression and fight harder and harder!

You asked Lin Tianlai to defend Robinson in a misplaced position?
Then I will smash you to pieces with brute force!

Karl's arrangement had an immediate effect in the first round after returning from the timeout.

After Robinson and Cassel cooperated on a screen, they suddenly burst out with a burst of fierce energy. Like a bull, they forced Lin Tian into the inside, then caught Cassel's pass, and then did not make any moves at all, holding it with both hands. The ball hit the floor hard and entered the 3-second zone, and then he was forced to pull it up from the basket and take a shot!
It was a simple and fast fight, using height, weight and brute force to forcibly resolve all Lin Tian's advantages.

This is the so-called one force that brings down ten wisdoms.

No matter how strong Lin Tian is, no matter how powerful he is in the back line, Robinson is a serious No. 4, and his advantage in tonnage is very obvious. He hit this ball fiercely, powerfully and suddenly, and so did Lin Tian. Nothing can be done.

After Robinson scored 2 points by force from the basket, the Bucks finally broke the ball and scored. The feeling that they had just been completely pinned underwater by the Pacers and almost suffocated finally began to dissipate.

And it was Robinson's goal that activated the Bucks' offensive state. Next, whether it was Allen's forced 3-pointer or Cassel's post-up single, they finally got into the basket and got the ball for the team. Fraction.

But of course, no matter how the Bucks' offense flourishes, no matter how 'bang bang' the three Musketeers' muskets fire, they can't prevent the Pacers' offense.

The offense drives the defense, and scoring is used to increase the defensive enthusiasm to suppress the opponent's offense and quickly widen the point difference.

This was originally almost an iron law of the NBA, a principle followed by everyone.

But when facing the Pacers, this iron law is obviously not hard enough.

Because there will be times when they cannot guard their opponents, and there will be times when they are scored consecutively by the opponent, but want to guard against their offense?

That difficulty is probably much more difficult than making Chamberlain abstain from sex for a month!
As long as Chamberlain can shoot, the Pacers players can definitely keep scoring!
21: 28!

47: 59!

72: 84!

The Bucks' offense is not bad, the players are not trying their best, and the three Musketeers' muskets are full of bullets tonight!
Under Carlisle's targeted defense, Ray Allen resisted Carter's close defense and used various drifts, forced pull-ups and ultra-long 3-pointers to throw in 5 3-pointers. Cassel faced his own Christie, who is more than 10 centimeters taller, hit jump shots that were blocked on his head.

Coupled with Robinson, although this big guy got 2 offensive fouls because he played too fiercely and rushed inside again and again. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he already had 4 fouls, but he managed to score 11. A free throw!
All three of them scored more than 18 points in the first three quarters tonight!
Carlisle's tactics and changes were correct, fast and admirable, but they had no effect.

This is the NBA!

You do the right thing, but it may not be effective. Your opponent just plays in an unreasonable and incorrect way, but they can keep scoring.

But the Pacers still firmly occupy the initiative on the court, and they still lead by more than 10 points!
As mentioned before, doing the right things on the basketball court may not always be effective, and when opponents are unreasonable and use the worst and most direct way to score, then there is only one best way to respond to them -

More unreasonable than them, crazier than them!

The Pacers, obviously can do it!

In the first three quarters of the game, the trio of Lin Tian, ​​Carter and Miller jointly hit 11 3-pointers, which felt so hot. Weber was even more aggressive tonight, scoring 24 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 assists in the three quarters. Perfect statistics of steals and 3 blocks!
The three Bucks Musketeers have an endless supply of bullets?
Feel sorry! We have a whole army here!
