The Basketball Court Swordsman

It was not until George fouled Johnson that the game entered a dead ball state, and finally took time to replay Paul's pass on the big screen.

Paul seemed to spot the route that passed the ball to George among the three in an instant, but because he needed a long pass from the backcourt and the speed must be fast, Paul had to jump up and take the ball. Hit the ground. Of course, the main purpose of jumping is not to increase strength, but to make the opponent mistakenly think that Paul is going to pass the ball.

As a result, the basketball quickly crossed the Eagles' defense by hitting the ground and rebounding. And Paul's pass is very thief, and other people have to get down immediately to touch it. But when it hit George, the height was just right.

A simple pass on the ground was performed by Paul more brilliantly than the dunk afterwards. Perhaps this is the charm of top point guards.

After the playback, the game has restarted. Since George's foul was not a shooting foul, the Hawks can only get a chance to serve a sideline, not a free throw.

However, what Drew didn't expect was that each of the Pacers' players wound up their defenders very closely, connecting the ball and not allowing the Eagles to catch it.

"Aren't these guys crazy? Are they going to use up their energy in the first quarter?"

It's not just Drew who feels this way. The Pacers really don't look like a team that just finished playing back-to-back!

In this way, Pachulia can only pass the ball hastily before the free throw time is up. However, this hastily pass to Joe Johnson was once again destroyed by George, who is tall and arm-length!

After George steals and rushes to the front, Joe Johnson had to foul to prevent the opponent from reaching a counterattack.

There was a boo in the audience, and Johnson's foul directly destroyed the birth of a wonderful shot.

Although Johnson's experienced handling did not allow the Pacers to play a fast break, the offensive ball still belongs to the Pacers, and Larry Drew's team once again faced a defensive test.

"Watch your matchup, just like you did during training!" Drew shouted from the sidelines, while Henson, who was wearing a floral suit, was much quieter on the other side. Paul and Teague are not the same level of point guards. Some words are not shouted by themselves, and Paul knows what to do.

Positional warfare, compared to a quick counterattack, will undoubtedly consume more players' physical energy and energy. Therefore, even if it is a positional attack, Henson's request today is a quick decision. Don't play too complicated tactics and don't set too frequent moves without the ball. Only use cover and impact to open up the space!

Although this trick is simple, it does work. Paul and his old partner West played quite a tacit understanding of the pick-and-roll. Since West had just finished a **** Randolph game, Josh Smith did not dare to switch defenses easily and remained by West's side. In this way, Paul got the shot space.

Pachulia rushed towards Paul fiercely, but the experienced star point guard was obviously not fooled by the Georgian's tricks.

Facing Pachulia's defense, Paul just threw the ball gently into the air?

"Throwing!?" Kenny Smith shouted.

It wasn't until Horford jumped high behind Pachulia, received the basketball with both hands in the air and then dunked it into the hoop with one hand, people realized that it was an aerial relay!

"Nice pass, Chris Paul completely played the Hawks' defense between applause! Two consecutive wonderful offenses, Chris' judgment of the timing of the pass is really too accurate. And in any case, He knows where his teammates are!"

Paul's performance caused a wave of praise from the commentary, while Drew gritted his teeth. The Pacers are full of vitality, full of vitality that should belong to them!

why? Why is this team that just finished back-to-back matches so casually?

Henson, wearing a floral suit on the sidelines, smiled and applauded the players. Take your time to figure it out, old Drew!

After the game, the Pacers completely controlled the initiative on the field with their vitality. The Hawks' offense is as uncomfortable as constipation, because they must always be on guard not to make mistakes. As long as you make a mistake, no matter how fast you retreat, the small guard in the No. 3 jersey can send the ball to the most suitable place and help the team score.

In the first quarter of the game, the Pacers scored 10 points by relying on their opponent's mistakes! And the more quick counterattacks, the more physical energy the Pacers can save!

Drew imagined the problem of the weakness of the opposing players did not appear, and the Eagles were not able to easily control the situation on the court as they wished.

After the first quarter of the game, the score became 28 to 20, and the Eagles were 8 points behind the back-to-back Pacers! If it weren't for the last goal of Matthews's three-point buzzer miss, it is estimated that Drew's team is now two digits behind.

"What did I say!? Don't let the Pacers make a quick counterattack, don't let them make a quick counterattack easily!? The result!? In the first half of the game, almost one-third of your points were lost because of the opponent's quick counterattack! Be cautious! Some, okay! The opponent is not a stinky fish, they are the Indiana Pacers! The second in the East, the Indiana Pacers after the Chicago Bulls!"

During the inter-junction, Drew looked very irritable. Because of his arrangements before the game, almost nothing was reflected in the game.

The energy of the Pacers is far beyond the imagination of the Hawks players. They thought they could easily win the team that was still fighting the Heat in Miami 24 hours ago. Little did they know that after a gust of "wind", they were already 8 points behind.

"Fight up physically, use your fiercest fight to consume them!" Finally, Drew clapped his hands, it seems that he still thinks the Eagles played too "gently" in the first quarter.

Drew's idea is still that word-consumption!

So as soon as the second quarter came up, Henson obviously found that the Hawks' defensive intensity had become different.

Rough physical contact, even at the edge of foul play. The Hawks players seemed to have been beaten up, showing a completely different state from the idle walk in the first quarter.

"It seems that Drew wants to speed up our consumption, that old fox." Vogel reminded nervously, and Henson just nodded without answering.

When the intensity of a regular season suddenly becomes the level of the playoffs, things are indeed a bit tricky. Among the Hawks, the most vigorous player now is undoubtedly the Georgian Pachulia.

This guy's small actions are no longer a tough category, but very dangerous!

But what about Horford? He happened to be the kind of "refined" insider, and did not give Pachulia a corresponding counterattack.

In the first few rounds of the game, the two sides did not score under high-intensity interaction. It wasn't until two and a half minutes after the start of the second quarter that Josh Smith's one and a half interceptions finally broke the two teams' scoring drought.

"Time, time!" Henson called a timeout without hesitation. Although on the surface Henson is a careless coach, as long as there is something wrong, the cautious Henson will immediately stop the game.

Many well-known coaches, such as Carlisle, who Henson likes very much, or his old opponent Spoelstra, have a problem. They often stop the game after the opponent has started.

Henson, on the other hand, likes to stifle the opponent's counter-offensive in the cradle.

The Pacers players all sweated profusely after they left the field. It seems that Old Drew's strategy did indeed have some effect. However, this injury is mutual. If the Hawks keep playing like this, they will not be able to fight back in the fourth quarter!

Now the leader is still himself, and the one who takes the initiative is still himself. Do you want to play hard with me? Come on then!

"Chris, Stephenson, ready to play! Those guys thought we would be afraid of their muscles!? Tell them what a real physical confrontation is!"

So after the timeout ended, the fans saw Henson put on such a lineup.

Paul, who has always been known for defensive fierceness, Harlem villain Stephenson, defensive titan George, experienced and elbow master West and always tough "birdman" Anderson.

Kenny Smith on the commentary stage couldn't help but shine: "The next game may be quite exciting."
