Chapter 369 How can it be so easy
"Friends in the audience, welcome to the live broadcast of G1 of the Eastern Conference finals brought to you by Irwin and I. Today, we will explain the game with us, and one of the greatest players in the history of the Pacers, Mile Daniels , the fans at the scene must be familiar with Meyer, all three ABA championships in the history of the Pacers were won under the leadership of Meyer." When the starting players of the two teams all entered the field, they began to warm up At that time, the commentators who had been chatting hotly for more than half an hour in the commentary booth began to get to the point. In today's game, apart from the pair of Michaels and Magic Johnson, the ABC TV network , and also invited the famous Pacers Meyer Daniels to serve as the guest commentator on the scene.

"Haha, Al, the Pacers are now an NBA team, and our honor in the NBA is still blank." Although Michaels mentioned the glorious history of the Pacers in the ABA League, Myer Daniels was very happy, but In Myer Daniels' view, no matter how much honor he gets in the ABA, it doesn't mean much to the Pacers who have already joined the NBA.

"The starting lineup of the Nets in this game has made a lot of adjustments. Compared with the lineup they played against the Pistons in the last round, there has been a lot of changes. In this game, Kenyon Martin appeared in the center position. The power forward is Keith Van Horn, and Richard Jefferson, who has been serving as the sixth man in the previous game, started this game as a small forward. The two guards are Corey Kiddles, With Jason Kidd, is Byron Scott planning to play a small lineup in this game?" Magic Johnson, who held the starting rosters of both sides in his hand, was also surprised after seeing the starting lineup of the Nets. It was obvious that Byron Scott's arrangement for this game was somewhat beyond Magic Johnson's expectations.

"Yes, the Nets have changed a bit, but the Pacers' starting lineup has not changed at all. The center is still Lorenzen White, power forward Jermaine O'Neal, small forward Meng Xu, and shooting guard. Reggie Miller, point guard Jamal Tinsley."

"The Pacers' tactics should not change much. The core of their tactics is only Meng Xu, so they just need to hand over the basketball to Meng Xu. As for the Nets, although the core of the court is only Kidd. , but so far, there is really no way to judge what tactics they will use in this game? Are they going to play run and gun?" When the players of the two teams began to warm up, Michael, who had announced the starting lineup for the game, Smith and Magic Johnson began to speculate on the tactics the Nets might use in this game.

"Except for Jamal Tinsley, the Pacers' lineup does not have any weaknesses when facing the Nets. Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, they are obviously stronger than the Nets. Therefore, I think no matter the Nets No matter how the net changes, none of them can win here." As a Pacers legend, Meyer Daniels is obviously very confident in the Pacers.

"Myer, basketball is round. You should understand this truth better than me, so I don't think the Nets will definitely lose this game." As soon as Myer Daniels' voice fell, Michaels responded to his remarks. He rebutted. Although he was unwilling in his heart, now Michaels has no way to turn back on the road of Meng Xu and Pacers. For the sake of ratings and program needs, Michaels can only lose his morals and bite the bullet. The road went dark.

Of course, at this time, when the commentator on the sidelines began to speculate on the tactics that the Nets might use, Larry Bird on the sidelines was also thinking about this question. Judging from the Nets' starter list, in this game, Byron -Scott obviously won't play a positional battle with himself like in the regular season, because in a positional battle, the Nets don't have the slightest advantage, so this change of the Nets is actually a last resort.

"No matter how hard you struggle, you can't change the outcome of this round of the series." Seeing that the field has been warmed up, all the players have stood in their designated positions, and when they are about to jump the ball, Larry Bird looks at his hands. With Meng Xu on his hips, a strong confidence rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Jermaine has improved again." When the referee threw the basketball in his hand into the air, Jermaine O'Neal beat Kenyon Martin with extremely fast bounce speed and successfully jumped the ball without any suspense. Magic Johnson nodded , said appreciatively.Compared with the regular season, Jermaine O'Neal, who has experienced the baptism of the last round of series, has made a very obvious improvement. Presumably the current Blazers will regret it after seeing Jermaine O'Neal's performance. Shaq O'Neal and Duncan, the Blazers have been collecting insiders in the past few seasons, and they clearly know that Jermaine O'Neal has the potential to become a first-class insider, but they just don't give him a chance. Now he has only left the Trail Blazers for two seasons. Jermaine O'Neal has grown into a first-class insider.

"Kidd pressed Jamal at the beginning?" At this time, the basketball that Jermaine O'Neal moved to the backcourt was in the hands of Jamal Tinsley, and Jason Kidd, who was facing him, immediately pressed against Jamal. Jamal Tinsley, who hadn't passed halftime, was pressing. After seeing the Nets' strategy after the opening, Michaels was also puzzled. What is the Nets doing?
Jamal Tinsley, who was pressed by Kidd, dribbled the ball into the half court with difficulty, and wanted to hand the basketball to Meng Xu as usual, but found that Meng Xu, who had no ball, was already in front of the Nets. Double-teamed, and Reggie Miller was followed closely by Corey Kidders.

"Jamal, believe in yourself, you can do it." Meng Xu, who was sandwiched by Keith Van Horn and Richard Jefferson, didn't catch the ball unless he retreated to the backcourt space, and Reggie Miller's offensive ability with the ball is very weak, so now the Pacers can only rely on Jamal Tinsley to organize.

"Yeah." Jamal Tinsley, who heard Meng Xu shouting, leaned sideways on Kidd, tried hard to protect the basketball, and at the same time observed the running positions of other players on the field from the corner of his eyes.

"Do you think you can steal a victory like this?" After seeing the situation on the field, Laliberd first smiled, then made a gesture to assistant coach Lester Conor, and directly Sit on the seat behind you.

After Larry Bird sat on the bench, Lester Conor quickly took over the spot command. After shouting at the players on the field a few times, he was originally entangled with Kenyon Martin on the edge of the paint. Jermaine O'Neal immediately moved up to the top of the arc. Meng Xu and Reggie Miller also took their defenders and started running without the ball. After Kenyon Martin was brought to the top of the arc by Jermaine O'Neal , Lorenzen White cut inside to the basket, and there was no defensive player within three meters. At the same time, Jamal Tinsley passed Jermaine O'Neal's screen, and a series of changes and fake moves , finally got rid of Kidd's press, and threw the basketball directly towards the basket.

Lorenzen White, who was unguarded, lightly jumped up to receive the pass from Jamal Tinsley, dunked with both hands, and scored the first goal for the Pacers after the opening. Lorenzen White's offensive means There are not many, and he is not needed to score in the Pacers, so his role in the Pacers is purely a blue collar. His main job is to protect the rebound and defend the basket. This is why the Nets dare to let him go. , But this does not mean that Lorenzen White is useless on the offensive end.

The Nets' double-teaming of Meng Xu can restrict Meng Xu from receiving the ball and playing with Meng Xu, but the side effect of this is also obvious, that is, one of the other four players of the Pacers is always in a blind position. In a defensive state, especially after Kenyon Martin, the only insider of the Nets, was taken away from the basket by Jermaine O'Neal, there will be a large area of ​​​​no man's land under the basket of the Nets.Moreover, it is not so easy to defeat the Pacers by double-teaming Meng Xu and disrupting the Pacers' tactical system. Meng Xu's off-ball ability is even stronger than Reggie Miller's. The Pacers have also practiced Meng Xu and Reggie Miller's running and cutting tactics many times. The power of this tactic is self-evident. They will be torn to pieces by the Pacers, let alone the Nets.
