Chapter 505

"Shaq, are you okay now?" The battle between the Heat and the Pacers for the strongest in the Eastern Conference ended up like this in the first half, which was a bit unacceptable for everyone in the Heat.When the whole team returned to the locker room, Heat coach Stan Van Gundy walked directly to O'Neal and asked about O'Neal's physical condition.

Throughout the first half, the Heat were very embarrassed. Although O'Neal was able to score in the paint all the time, his efficiency was not high. He only made 21 of 8 shots in the entire first half. In other games this season, In the few games where O'Neal took more than 20 shots, O'Neal scored more than 35 points, but today O'Neal only scored 21 points, but in this case, Stan Van Gundy can only choose to rely on O'Neal, because in In this Heat team, only O'Neal can lead the team out of the quagmire.

"I'm fine!" Looking at the head coach's concerned eyes, O'Neal responded with a smile. In today's game, O'Neal really did his best, not only to face Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo on the offensive end , endless entanglement, even on the defensive end, O'Neal did not relax in the slightest today.In order to defeat the Pacers, as the leader of the team, O'Neal naturally had to set an example, but as a result of not being stingy on both offensive and defensive ends, O'Neal consumed a lot in the first half, and he had already been off the court for 3 minutes. The breath made it still not calm down.Although they were 15 points behind the Pacers at the end of the first half, none of O'Neal, Stan Van Gundy, or even the Heat players present were willing to lose today's game. It is already very big, but O'Neal still stated that he would continue to play at the beginning of the third quarter, because according to the situation on the court, the Pacers will definitely replace most of the main players after the third quarter. , is an excellent opportunity for the Heat.

"Okay, take the time to rest, and we will rely on you to win the next game." After O'Neal stated that he has no problem, Stan Van Gundy also nodded at O'Neal. Stan Van Gundy is really big now. If you made a mistake in your tactics and were suppressed by the Pacers, it’s okay to say that there is no problem with the Heat’s tactics. In most offenses, the Heat’s tactics are very well coordinated, but on this last shot. , not only O'Neal, but other Heat players also have an appallingly low shooting percentage.

After the communication between Stan Van Gundy and O'Neal was over, and after hearing what the head coach said to O'Neal, the rest of the Heat players in the locker room lowered their heads almost subconsciously at the same time, especially Dwyane Wade. Clenching his fists, Dwyane Wade really had some ideas about today's game before the game. Wade, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, also wanted to show it in front of Meng Xu, but the result However, Wade was very disappointed. No matter how hard Wade struggled, he couldn't get rid of Meng Xu's defense.

During the intermission, Stan Van Gundy didn't have too many tactical arrangements, but was doing psychological counseling for the players under his command, constantly encouraging them. After all, in the first half, the Heat's tactical arrangements were not What's the problem, as long as the team's outside lines can regain their touch in the second half, then the Heat still have a chance.

. . . . . .

"Ervin, do you think the Heat will change the team's tactics in the third quarter, or make adjustments to the players on the field?" At the end of the intermission, the Pacers and Heat players walked out of the player channel one after another, as part of the game. The commentator of the game, Michaels is still looking forward to the second half of the game between the two sides. In fact, Michaels really hopes that the Heat can counterattack in the third quarter, and then the two sides will fight to the death in the fourth quarter. After all, for today's matchup Well, the ABC TV network has invested a lot of resources, manpower and material resources. If the Heat are slaughtered by the Pacers at home, or if the game ends after three quarters, there will be no suspense in this game, and the ratings of today's game will definitely not be ideal. .

"Probably not." After thinking for a while, Magic Johnson gave an affirmative answer. How can the Heat change now? For the Heat, there is no need to adjust at the tactical level. Give up O'Neal and let Dwyane -Wade, or Eddie Jones' main attack Although O'Neal's shooting percentage in the first half was a little low, at least O'Neal could continue to break through the Pacers' defense to score, and these two guys were completely out of control in the first half Like sleepwalking, Eddie Jones made 8 of 3 shots and only scored 6 points, and Dwyane Wade even made 5 of 1 shots and only scored [-] points. In this case, let the two of them go to the main attack, It's better to let O'Neal continue to hit the basket.

While Michaels and Magic Johnson were still discussing, the third quarter of the game had already begun. For the Heat, all five main players played, while the Pacers sent out a lineup of all substitutes. The depth of the lineup is much different than last season, but NN-Hilary, Jeff Foster, Tyshawn Prince, Kenny Anderson, Kendall Gill, this set of old, middle-aged and young The combined bench lineup is not at a disadvantage when encountering the rotation lineup of most teams in the league, especially these veterans who came to the Pacers to hold their thighs this year, often jump out and become thighs.The Pacers were a guest in San Antonio. In the game against the Spurs, both Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal performed unsatisfactorily. Seeing that the Pacers' winning streak is about to be ended by the Spurs, Kenny Anderson and Kendall Gill After the two veterans came off the bench in the third quarter, one made 11 of 8 shots and the other made 9 of 7 shots. The two scored 36 points in the second half. At the end of the first half, the Spurs led the Pacers by 7 points. After the game, they lost to the Pacers by 9 points.

After the start of the third quarter, the Heat's tactics did not change. The main point of attack was still O'Neal. On the Pacers' side, after all the main players were off the court, there was no tactics to speak of, and even mutual cooperation. , not so tacit understanding, especially NN-Hilario and Jeff Foster, there is no way to restrict O'Neal like Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo, O'Neal can't stand Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo completed dunks and could only shoot with a hook not far from the basket. In the case of the body, force the turn and complete the dunk.

"It's terrible. Shaq's performance after the opening of the third quarter is really terrible. The Pacers' two substitute insiders can't stop him at all." In the opening two minutes of the third quarter, O'Neal made 5 of 4 shots Among them, he made 4 of 2 free throws and scored 10 points in a row. The 15-point difference between the two sides was quickly narrowed to less than 10 points.
