The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Pacers' first offense in the second half of the game ended with a goal. Of course, this time the offense has nothing to do with the Pacers' tactics and lineup. It is completely Paul used his personal ability to shake Collison and then throw it away.

So although the Pacers scored in the second half of the game, people still didn't see what the team wanted to do.

"I don't know... But, Yi Jianlian? They use Yi Jianlian to play the 5th position, are they serious? Yi Jianlian's frame protection ability is not as good as West, Horford and Anderson, even if the Pacers need three-point ability, If space is needed, they can continue to use Horford.” Reggie Miller looked at Stevens and then at the weird lineup on the court. Is this substitution a decision by Henson or a communication between the two sides. Is it wrong?

Yi Jianlian lacks the ability to protect the frame. To be precise, Yi Jianlian and Leonard have no advantage in the protection of the inside team.

Therefore, Carlisle's strategy at this time is also very clear, hit Nowitzki that point!

Nowitzki is 2.13 meters tall and Leonard will be over 2 meters. Carlisle believes that even if that guy is tall and has a long arm, it is impossible to interfere with Dirk's shooting! This lineup of the Pacers is no different from giving up defense!

Nowitzki was also very active this time. He sat in the low post and raised his long arm for Collison for the ball. Yi Jianlian did not double-team in advance, Leonard did not go forward, the Pacers seemed to have given up resistance.

Collison dropped the ball in. The reason why he chose to pass was to avoid Leonard from reaching out to steal. Nowitzki catches the basketball steadily, he is confident!

In the 2011 Finals, Nowitzki used such a low offense to destroy the Miami Heat. As if today, the Mavericks will use the same method to destroy another strong team in the East!

Dirk leaned back a few steps, still no double-teaming! Vogel gritted his teeth while watching off the court, he seemed to be more nervous than Leonard on the court.

Dirk Silver Horn King Nowitzki suddenly turned over after seeing that the distance was almost the same, lifting the basketball to shoot! However, just as Dirk turned around, Leonard's long arm stab forward and stabbed the basketball!

"Nice defense! Leonard never gave Dirk a chance to shoot! He is an out-and-out stealer, every steal by Leonard is fast and accurate!"

With the exclamation of Reggie Miller, George picked up the basketball on the ground with concentration. The Mavericks made a mistake, they just have the ability to shake things up, and it is impossible to stop the Pacers from making a quick counterattack!

The Pacers now have a smaller lineup and can run better than in the first half. Four outside players rushed to the front court. George passed Paul on the road. Paul broke through to attract the defense and threw the ball to the right corner. There, Ray Allen is already in place!

"A three-pointer in a fast offense... hit! Ray Allen, his front sight has not been left in Boston! This season, he is undoubtedly the most reliable three-pointer in the Pacers! "

Seeing Ray Allen accurately put the basketball into the frame, Carlisle felt a little scalp tingling. This kind of offensive rhythm and offensive space is really exaggerated!

Subsequently, O.J. Mayo and Collison attempted to break through the inside to score points, and Yi Jianlian seemed to them to be a delicious cake. But Paul and George didn't give these two guys a chance. Why did Henson send all the perimeters he can defend? It is to prevent the Mavericks from rushing inside and to reduce the pressure on Yi Jianlian and Leonard to protect the frame!

The Mavericks' offense was at a deadlock under the Pacers' tough defense. In the end, Collison chose a simple and rude method-directly hanging the ball to his center!

So, just after Dirk singles Leonard, the Mavericks starting center Chris Kaman got another chance to single Yi Jianlian.

Chris Kaman, Dirk’s national teammate, as a member of the 03 Super Platinum generation, ushered in the peak of his career in the 09-10 season. That season Kaman averaged 18.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, making him an All-Star.

People thought that Kaman was about to rise, but in the following 10-11 season, Kaman suffered serious injuries and only played 32 games. After experiencing this major injury, Kaman's strength plummeted. In the Hornets last season, Kaman's data shrank to 13.1 points and 7.7 rebounds.

This season, Kaman's data shrinkage continues. On the defensive end, he can still rely on his experience, tonnage and height to make contributions, but on the offensive end, he has long lost the strength that he could average 18.5 points per game. What's more, Kaman is not an aggressive center on the offensive end, which can be seen from his free throws.

Therefore, with Yi Jianlian raised his arms high, Kaman did not rely on his body to push in, but directly hooked with Yi Jianlian between the basket and the basket!

Kaman has never been a steady scorer. As you can see, the basketball knocked out and the Mavericks didn't take advantage of Yi Jianlian's "cake"!

Yi Jianlian immediately turned around and took the rebound, then handed the ball to Paul. In an instant, the "Pacers" of Indianapolis ran on the court again!

The Mavericks retired quickly, and they are still in a stable formation with zone defenses. Paul quickly gave the ball to George, and George threw the ball to Ray Allen. This time Ray Allen did not get a chance because he is still in the Mavericks defensive area.

At the same time, Dirk and Kaman are already in place. Seeing this situation, Ray Allen jumped up and passed the ball directly to Yi Jianlian, who had just arrived from the backcourt!

Yi Jianlian is at 45° to the right of the three-point line. The Mavericks guarding this area is Marion!

Marion didn't even think about it, and immediately jumped on it. Yi Jianlian is regarded as a "cake" on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, no one thinks this Chinese player is a bully.

Yi Jianlian did not make a strong shot, but rather calmly delivered the ball to Leonard. At this time, the Mavericks' defenses were actually no longer effective. After they stabilized their formation, they gradually turned their defense into a man-to-man defense. In this way, the defender of Yi Jianlian became Marion. And Chris Kaman, who moved slowly, switched to Leonard.

Leonard didn't even want to cover, and just accelerated past Kaman, who was knee-inflexible. Passing Kaman, the Mavericks' penalty area is open!

Dirk? Dirk had been nailed to the bottom corner by Ray Allen at this time!

"Oh, no..." Carlisle held his forehead, then there was a loud noise on the court, Leonard dunked with both hands!

"A beautiful offense. Although this offense is not strictly a counterattack, it also caused the Mavericks' defense to be torn apart! I have to admit that this lineup completely revitalized the Pacers' offense!"

Sitting in the locker room, Henson cocked his legs triumphantly. Playing a small lineup is indeed a dangerous move, but it also pays off!

Later, seeing the Mavericks failed to score a goal, "Mayo Great God" began to convulsions. He used a dazzling operation to find the rhythm, and then suddenly accelerated the breakthrough, to a mid-range jump shot.

But Paul George was very "incomprehensible", he was not fooled by Mayo, but reached out and blocked Mayo's shot.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and it looked like...

Being blocked, which means there is a counterattack! Carlisle's heartbeat started to accelerate. Why did the situation completely reverse after an intermission?

This time, it was Paul George who scored. Paul deceived everyone with a beautiful back pass. The Mavericks thought that his goal was to ambush Ray Allen outside the three-point line, but he did not know that the basketball jumped into the hands of George who was following the high speed.

George didn't give up the chance of a big show, single-handed dunking, the Mavericks defense looked as fragile as tofu.

Not long after the second half of the game began, the Mavericks' 7-point gap that had been accumulated with difficulty disappeared. The Pacers’ quick whirlwind swept the Bankers’ Life Arena again, and Henson once again disrupted his opponent’s strategy with an unreasonable substitution.

Carlisle hurriedly stopped the game, not allowing the Pacers' momentum to continue. At the same time, Stevens hurriedly looked at the small note in his hand.

Next, who should be replaced?
