Chapter 89 Trouble at the beginning

The Heat and the Pacers know each other well. The personnel of the two teams have basically not changed. Compared with the Heat, Anthony Carter is already playing point guard, and there is still a newcomer. Starting four old guys turned into three old guys.

Jaylen Rose and Chris Mullin changed their identities as starting substitutes. As a result, Rose broke out and continued to explode in the playoffs. His scoring was basically twice that of last season. The Pacers also became similar to "two guns". state.

Coupled with the fact that they have a defender who can organize Mark Jackson, the outside firepower is very strong.

Rick Schmitz, the long man on the inside, has grown to a height of 2 meters. As he gets older, the resistance becomes more and more difficult. The Pacers simply let him go to the high position to make a mid-range shot. This height is useful , Anyway, they still have a top blue-collar Dell Davis inside, who belongs to the 2+10 level.

And this one has already let go, he will not let Mourning make trouble inside the Pacers, he has the ability to withstand Mourning.

The reason why they lost to the Heat last season was because Mourning had no opponents in the paint, and secondly, because the single-core Miller was restricted. This season, they feel that both problems have been solved, and they are full of confidence in winning.

Facing the media, the Heat of course also expressed their confidence in victory. They don't care about the "three guns", and they care about the "two guns", whoever comes will kill whoever comes.

Schmitz was nearly 20 centimeters taller than Mourning, but the jump ball still lost.

The home fans applauded thunderously. Unlike last season's playoffs, which experienced thrills at the beginning of the playoffs, this time the Heat have come all the way through the playoffs, showing their kingly demeanor, sweeping twice, without putting any pressure on their opponents.

The expectations for consecutive championships are becoming more and more real.

The ball was transferred from side to left on the outside, and then hung into Mourning's hands.

Mourning took two dribbles, turned and squeezed past Davis to the basket.

"Beep..." The whistle sounded, and the opponent pulled Mourning down severely. If he couldn't start the game, he was beaten by the Heat, and Davis also fought hard.

Mourning started with a good touch and hit both free throws.

As soon as the Pacers attacked, Reggie Miller's running position started again, and after a reverse run, he slipped to the baseline. Zhang Chen was already prepared and followed closely.

He caught the ball and made a shooting action, but he didn't make a shot.

Reggie Miller passed the ball to Schmitz who pulled out, and the latter hit the Pacers' first ball.

"You are really old, don't you dare to vote?" Zhang Chen said mercilessly.

"Fuck it, don't dare to vote, and watch me fuck your ass hard later." Miller opened his mouth and said all kinds of bad words.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had already prepared himself, Zhang Chen really couldn't bear it.

The flood of swear words is directly used as trash talk, and only this big heart of the playoffs.

This season, Zhang Chen's progress is obvious, and it is not so difficult to mark Reggie Miller. He is only tired from running a few more laps on the field and resting.

And in the offense, the opponent can't even try to defend him. Regardless of whether Miller is chanting scriptures, he has the confidence to trample on the Pacers' defense whether it is a back attack or a frontal breakthrough.

So in the second attack, he forced Miller to hit the shot.

"You're like a fly, you just buzz when you're defending me, but it's actually useless."

Before Zhang Chen finished speaking, Miller was doing all kinds of menial work, which made him feel that it was useless to talk such connotative trash to Miller, so he just slapped him with American curses at the beginning of the word F.

Going inside and then coming out, after running three times like this, Miller finally caught the ball, this time without even making adjustments, it was just a fadeaway jumper.

Zhang Chen jumped up as hard as he could, but he still couldn't touch the ball thrown by the opponent, but the ball didn't go in either.

He smiled at Miller, shook his head, and ran to the frontcourt.

The other party didn't have any mood swings, this old goblin already had top-notch control over his emotions. Don't look at him talking nonsense, he is actually very calm.

If you are annoyed by him and become restless, you will lose.

In fact, the Heat started the game pretty well. Dale Davis couldn't defend Mourning like he said, and Miller didn't find any good opportunities under Zhang Chen's defense.

But halfway through the first quarter, the situation suddenly changed.

First, Jaylen Rose hit a three-pointer with the ball, and then he scored another three-pointer through a teammate's screen.

However, the Heat missed these two attacks, and the score was caught up immediately.

The Pacers saw that it was not easy for Miller to open up the situation, so they called out the offensive opportunity from the outside to Rose's hands, and Schmitz stood near the free throw line. He also really has a hand-to-hand distance. Because of his height, he can shoot while standing. He doesn't need too much space to shoot. In terms of offense, it is quite practical.

Therefore, Rose will not put too much energy on him if he wants to attack the Heat. After all, he, like Miller, has an outside basket, and Mashburn can only watch it carefully.

To be honest, Mash is good at defending against special shots, as well as against those who can play back, but he is not good at defending against sudden shots, especially Rose can pass the ball.

Just when Zhang Chen was slightly attracted by Rose, Miller caught the ball and made an extremely fast three-pointer, which was also hit.

Different from the previous two opponents, the Pacers' two powerful scoring points on the outside line have a large attack range. At that time, although the Bucks had one more outside line firepower, only Ray Allen had a large attack range. He was followed by Zhang Chen, which was actually limited. There are many possibilities.

Zhang Chen's defense was not so good last year, and following Miller also made the Pacers uncomfortable.

Now he is restricting Miller, but there is still Rose who can stand up. The Pacers are also a team with explosive scoring power, and the points behind will soon go to double digits.

"How about it, I can't do it, I haven't finished warming up, you can't do it."

Zhang Chen was depressed. The offense just now caused him to miss the ball. The Pacers' defense is not particularly good, but this is sometimes even more depressing. He shot when he saw the shooting space, and finally hit the iron without any interference. up.

The first quarter was about to end, and Miller was replaced at this time to rest. In fact, he played a long time in each game in the playoffs, but he was the type to take a rest at the beginning and not rest after the end.

As the person who shoulders the heavy responsibility of defense, Zhang Chen was also replaced at the same time. If he can rest, he should take a rest quickly. In the second half, he must work harder on both offense and defense.

The Pacers just went down with Miller, and Rose was still on top, so the Heat also put Mashburn on top, "Squeeze, squeeze, what are you doing, don't let him shoot like this." Pat Riley was there while shouting.

But Mashburn's defense is still tepid, and it feels like the Heat's defense becomes a gentleman when it reaches him.

It seems that the Pacers' offense is successful again, and Zhang Chen is also a little anxious. It would be great if Marsh instinctively and Rose exchanged blows, but this guy's offense today is also very average, and Rose's defense is actually average, but he is still tall. Not to lose, Mashburn failed to improve several times in a row, and the score was further expanded.

Pat Riley paused, and then spoke for a while. Mashburn didn't speak, and he looked very anxious.

"Jamal, you are stronger than him, and he can't be so accurate in physical contact with him." Zhang Chen couldn't help but said, if it wasn't for Miller, he would have wanted to switch defenses with Mashburn.

"I have my way of playing," cried Mashburn suddenly.

Zhang Chen was taken aback, and there was a bit of atmosphere, your sister, he just kindly reminded him that it was a waste of his body to let the opponent score like this.

Pat Riley's face turned dark at that time, and Mourning hurried over to round up the field, "Everyone has something to talk about, it's just that we are behind, and it's not like we haven't fallen behind before, we just catch up after going on the court."

"Sit down for me and watch how other players play." Pat Riley immediately asked Bowen to take off his jacket and play, and Zhang Chen was replaced.

Mashburn sat on the stool depressed. He has always been emotional this season, but he usually doesn't say anything when he is in the team. Although he sometimes complains in front of the media, he thinks that the current tactics of the Heat are not enough. Playing to his strengths, he's the type who has to have the ball in his hands.

The reason why he couldn't help it just now was not only because he was told by the coach and teammates, but more importantly, he had the ball in his hand after Zhang Chen left the court, but he didn't do a good job in attacking, so he was particularly upset.

The Heat's situation was captured by ubiquitous cameras, and it caused some waves.

"What's going on, there seems to be a quarrel when the Heat team timed out."

"It's Mashburn, who is he angry at? Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the coach's arrangement? Pat Riley replaced him. At this time, they must not have infighting."

"The score fell behind, and another scorer was replaced. I hope it's just a temporary rest."

Zhang Chen also entered the field holding his breath. After receiving the ball, he took a tentative step past Miller who was replaced at the same time as him. He took two steps forward and forced Schmitz to jump up.

Although the opponent was tall, it was nothing to be afraid of, and Schmitz couldn't jump at all.

The opponent only fouled. Zhang Chen aimed at the basket and threw it when he lost his balance. He fell to the ground with a "slap". Mourning, who was under the basket, hurried over and extended his hand towards him.

It was completely fine, his muscles were already tensed when he fell, this is not an outdoor field, a fall is nothing, the key is not to waste this opportunity, he watched the ball roll into the basket.

After making a free throw, Zhang Chen waved his arm.

"Defend well and we will definitely win."

Under such circumstances, he loudly reminded his teammates where to stand. It would be difficult to let the opponent score again. If the opponent led by 20 points, he did not have much confidence in chasing it back. Not now. Point-chasing item card.

Unconsciously, his slowest-improving leadership value increased.
