The Basketball Court Swordsman

Nick Nass believed that Henson didn't have the guts to let others take on the task of killing the game, and Henson caught the mentality of Nick Nas.

Why can't Lopez kill the game? Did he kill fewer games when he was with the Nets before? It's just that after arriving at the Pacers, the data declines due to the changes in the role and positioning of the players. Should you despise this guy?

The game restarted, and both coaches felt they had a chance to win. Henson stood on the sidelines seriously. At this time, I don't know how many people believe that the Raptors can perform miraculous moments.

But many people have forgotten that this guy Henson Joe has only lost less than 10 games from the regular season to the present...There is no coach in the league who knows how to win better than him. .

For the first attack after the timeout, Antetokounmpo directly advanced with the ball. Antetokounmpo’s performance today is actually very good, even the Raptors' zone defense failed to contain his scoring pace. But this is always the last quarter, and Antetokounmpo can't force a scoring by rampage every time.

After half-court possession, Antetokounmpo glanced at Lopez. Lopez nodded slightly, and then picked up the pick and roll!

"A screen, Antetokounmpo wants to break through. It seems that in the timeout just now, Coach Henson asked Antetokounmpo and George to continue their decisive attack?"

Antetokounmpo took advantage of the cover and strode to the penalty area. At the same time, Ibaka and Gasol both contracted. Brook Lopez? Let him vote!

Antetokounmpo passed the ball under the double-team of the two elders, but it was not Lopez, but George.

This was specially arranged by Henson, he deliberately let the players pass an extra handball. The purpose is to conceal one's own purpose and not to expose the tactics so thoroughly.

As soon as George caught the ball, his former good brother Leonard immediately pressed in. George VS Leonard, many years ago, people never thought that this would become the focus of the playoffs.

After all, at that time, George was just a rookie with a not too high draft, and Leonard was considered difficult to be developed.

But Henson froze to make them all grow into league superstars, which is really rare.

George held up the basketball, pretending to be at a loss, then handed the ball to Lopez.

Lopez is still one step away from the three-point line at this time. It seems that he is not an offensive point, but just a transit point. Therefore, little Gasol did not immediately rush out, and Lopez was almost completely emptied.

But Lopez did not hesitate at all, but directly started shooting! With one step away from the three-point line, start shooting.

"Good job." Nick Nath smiled. In his opinion, Lopez's shot was a waste of opportunity. This guy can't make this kind of long-range three-pointer. Does he think he is Stephen Curry?

However, in the next second, Nas saw the basketball passing through the net without even touching the basket. It was a hollow ball!

"The assist from Paul George was well done. Brook Lopez feels good today. This is his 19th point in this game. How long have we not seen Lopez score 20 points? Today we can look forward to it."

At this point, the Raptors are 9 points behind the Pacers. But neither Nas nor the commentator thinks the Pacers have achieved a huge advantage. In the words of Kenny Smith: "Just now George and Antetokounmpo still didn't get the chance to score. If they can't score, how can the Pacers win the game? Lopez? He is an excellent one. Role players, but only role players."

At this time, this "role player" secretly cheered himself up, no matter how much he earns in a year, he will do his best for his team!

In Henson's last season, Lopez didn't want to put Henson in shame because of himself.

For the Raptors offense, Van Fleet was entangled very deadly by Brogdon this time. "Van Jordan" has scored a lot of points today, and Brogdon doesn't want to become a famous springboard for this guy.

On the other side, Oladipo also looked at Van Fleet. The reason is simple, Kyle Lowry did not perform well today, Oladipo can rest assured to make up for Fleet.

Van Fleet clearly felt the malice from Brogdon and Oladipo, so he passed the ball to Leonard, hoping that No. 2 would solve the problem.

Solving the game with a star is the correct way Nick Nas thinks.

Leonard is now very different from the Pacers period. At this time, like George, he has evolved into an all-around attacker. From shooting the ball to breaking through with the ball, Leonard is omnipotent.

This time, Leonard overwhelmed Antetokounmpo with a beautiful advance. His swinging rhythm and arc of direction change make him look like a defender.

Antetokounmpo's center of gravity has indeed changed because of Leonard, but because of his good physical fitness, he still posted it. Unfortunately, even so, Antetokounmpo was surpassed by half his body.

"Leonard's breakthrough is very beautiful, this time the score has been achieved!" On the commentary stage, Kenny Smith was ready to cheer for Leonard's goal.

But on the sidelines, Henson smiled slightly. People only saw Leonard successfully break through, but he saw Lopez had quietly patched up the past. If Lopez's performance today can last until the end, then Henson's badge can be kept until the finals.

Leonard made a breakthrough, layup, and attack in one go. But unlike the past, Brook Lopez's big hand suddenly appeared in front of Leonard.

"Ok?"

A look of surprise flashed across Leonard's "facially paralyzed" face. The next second, Lopez's overwhelming rush arrived, and he forced the basketball that Leonard had lifted to press down.

Antetokounmpo has quick eyes and quick hands, and his big hands grabbed the basketball that was shot by Lopez. After continuing the three-pointer just now, Lopez used another block to help the Pacers stabilize the situation.

Nick Nas's heart was shocked. After Leonard passed Antetokounmpo, Lopez was able to rush over to complete the defense. The same was true for the offense just now. When both George and Antetokounmpo were defended, Lopez actually hit a long-range three-pointer.

Can role players really kill the game? Nick Nath found that his determination had become a little shaken.

Antetokounmpo received the blocked basketball and drove straight forward, defending and counterattacking. This is his favorite offense. Ibaka and Gasol can stop Antetokounmpo in a positional battle, but they have no way to follow Antetokounmpo in the conversion attack.

If Ibaka was five years younger, he might still be able to run, but unfortunately, time is gone.

"Hey!"

With a two-handed dunk, Antetokounmpo re-widened the difference to double digits. Although Antetokounmpo scored the goal, Lopez was captured by the cameraman.

One three-pointer and one block. Since Henson's timeout, Lopez has completed two key offenses and defenses. Everyone couldn't help but put a question mark in their hearts. Is Brook Lopez Henson's last weapon?

Nick Nas still couldn't believe it. He didn't change his strategy. He didn't want to liberate George and Antetokounmpo because of a Lopez.

In the subsequent attack, the Raptors relied on Ibaka's steady mid-range shot to get back two points, but the situation was still dangerous for them.

Sure enough, after the Raptors turned the score into single digits, the score was pulled apart again before the **** was hot. It was Lopez who opened the score!

George's long shot knocked to the front of the rim, and Leonard was very oppressive on his defense. Just when Nick Nas was about to cheer for the successful defense, Lopez made a tip-up lightly.

Nas's expression instantly solidified, and Little Gasol looked around in confusion. He just relaxed, he didn't expect Lopez to rush in to grab offensive rebounds. But in the Eastern Conference finals, these fluke psychology will lead to big mistakes.

Lopez's tipping allowed him to score his 21st point in the game. At the same time, the points difference was once again widened to 11 points.

"Brook Lopez again, he seems to be back to the top!"

If Henson heard Kenny Smith’s commentary, he would definitely not agree. Brook Lopez is not returning to the peak, his peak has never passed away. It's just that he sacrificed his data and peak for the Pacers.

As a role player, Lopez must sacrifice his data and worth. But when you need him to stand up, he is obliged.

Nick Nas looked at Lopez and then at Henson, who was standing on the sidelines with his arms around his chest. He knew that he could not be led by Henson. If Gasol is allowed to defend Lopez with all his strength, Antetokounmpo will be completely liberated.

Once Antetokounmpo is liberated, no one can stop the Pacers from winning.

So Nick Nas gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, choosing to continue his original strategy!

Can Lopez kill the game? Nas chose not to believe it.

Unconsciously, Henson put his favorite choice in front of his opponent.

Brook Lopez and Yannis Antetokounmpo, two bottles of poison, it depends on how you choose to die.
