Chapter 697: Hot and hot

The game between the two sides started.
In the middle circle, McGee took the lead to get the ball and started the attack from the Pacers.
Hill holds the ball.
In the last round, Hill's play was average.
Under the tough defense of the Bulls, Hill's hit rate declined, and there was not much that the offensive side could do except for a fixed-point three-pointer.
On the defensive end, he also struggled to pay Ross one by one.
But in the Eastern Conference finals, whether Hill can restrict Irving to a certain extent is crucial to the Pacers' victory.
The first attack, Li Liang came out to give Hill a high pick and roll.
This is also the starting point for Li Liang's relatively standard tactics. He has been doing this since the Lakers.
A man from a small forward, an MVP-level pitcher, will run out every day to make a pick-and-roll. The key pick-and-roll quality is still very good.
In the future ranking of NBA small forwards, Li Liang's comment can certainly add a sentence, "This person's cover is very high quality, unique."
The change after the pick and roll is the key.
Unlike the changes after the Clippers during the pick-and-roll, the Pacers' offensive changes are relatively simple.
Li Liang cut out, Hill tried to make a breakthrough from the middle with the ball.
The person who defended Li Liang at the start was George. He reached out to stop Hill because Irving couldn't keep up.
It was this blocking that Hill returned the ball to Li Liang. After Li Liang received the ball, he made a quick three-point shot!
Quick, really fast.
His [zero-second shot] skill has accumulated to level 3 because of a lot of practice, and he can shoot at a faster speed.
George didn't have time to rush, Li Liang opened the first three points and hit!
Take the lead!
It can be seen that Li Liang's condition is quite good today, and the first three-pointer is a good sign for him.
But George also knows what to do, and he will certainly not be as defensive as he was just now.
The Cavaliers' offense is a bit more complicated than the Pacers.
After all, their head coach is Blatter, and Tyron Lu is sitting on the side as an assistant coach.
Li Liang has to face George on the offensive end and James on the defensive end.
James caught the ball on his left at 45 degrees.
"Having the ability to beat me, beat me?" Li Liangka provoked James behind James.
After returning to the Cavaliers this year, James further reduced weight, his back attack is much less than in the Heat.
Many times he carries the ball on his back, the next step is to break through the back basket, or pass directly to pass the ball.
In the face of Li Liang's provocation, James was unmoved.
After the Cavaliers took a continuous pick-and-roll and cover, the strong side formed a triangle, and then the weak side Mozgov cut from the middle.
James had already observed Mozgov's position, turned his head and flicked it to Mozgov.
Mozgov received the ball and directly cut the layup, the left hand layup succeeded!
A pretty beautiful offensive tactic.
Blatter assigned James, Owen, and George to the strong side to perform cross-screening cooperation between the three.
Mozgov and Thompson, who have strong front-court rebounding abilities and good finishing ability under the rim, and have no independent offensive ability, are assigned to the weak side of the duo.
The three strong sides have the ability to attack on their own. Any one can get the ball and take the opportunity to attack.
On the weak side, the two men rushed to the offensive rebound and were assisted by an empty cut.
It can be said that this is a very good tactical idea of ​​collocation, you can play complex coordination, you can also play simple singles.
This is a huge challenge for the Pacers' man-to-man defense.
Because Granger was going to defend Thompson in a misplaced way, McGee was actually the only one to protect the basket.
Of course, Byrd’s idea was that the offensive end was open and overwhelmed the Cavaliers with offense.
The game against the Cavaliers is destined to be different from the previous round of playing the Bulls.
...
The opening side scored a goal each, showing that both sides are in good condition.
Later, Hill cooperated with Li Liang again, this time George no longer came out to delay, Hill directly went to the basket and hit a shot.
On the Cavaliers side, George missed a three-pointer from the corner, but Thompson grabbed the offensive rebound and the Cavaliers continued to have an offensive opportunity.
This time, James on the right side of 45 degrees is no longer polite with Li Liang, you let me fight back?
Okay, I have never heard such a request in my life.
Straight back into the basket, the left hand hit a two-pointer.
In order to ensure his good offensive feel, Li Liang did not wear an Iron Man suit.
So when James gave it to the rim, James still had a better power, really like a bulldozer.
And Li Liang immediately returned the color.
It was still a pick-and-roll with Hill, this time he chose to go down.
After receiving Hill's ground pass, Li Liang took the ball and took a step forward, then suddenly stopped the jumper.
The result was a fake, but George was jumped up. Li Liang said nothing, hitting George and throwing the ball.
Hitting the board also caused a foul to George, which required a penalty!
Li Liang's quick stop after the breakthrough of this trick, can also be regarded as his signature magic.
In the history of the NBA, you counted forward. The person who used this trick to become famous in the early days was Oscar Robertson. In the 1970s, it was McAdoo. Then, in the 80s and 90s, the appearance of Michael Jordan, which entered the inside line directly in you A dunk on your head, or a drawbar, who is still making emergency stop jumpers with you, especially the old trick of hitting emergency stop jumpers.
However, Li Liang developed it abruptly, and the defender has a headache, which is usually not met.
George's ball had expected Li Liang to stop, but he didn't expect the goods to play a fake.
The result is good, foul.
"Congratulations, you will answer the question, but unfortunately the wrong answer." Li Liang thought, George's defense is really good, but it almost means.
In addition to the penalty, Li Liang scored 6 points in the opening.
However, the Cavaliers' opening offensive state is equally good.
Mozgov received Owen's pass from a high position and directly hit a mid-range jumper.
Granger took a three-pointer from outside and missed.
The two sides tied 6:6.
The Cavaliers chose to let Mozgov eat in the post, this is the opportunity for the Cavaliers to overtake.
However, McGee defended Mozgov and Mozgov missed his hook.
But under the basket, Tristan Thompson grabbed another offensive rebound!
After the opening, Thompson had a second offensive rebound.
The attack was reorganized, but this time George broke the ball inside and lost the ball and was knocked off by JR Smith.
Hill took the ball and launched a quick counterattack. Li Liang plugged in and caught the ball at 45 degrees on the right, attracting everyone's attention.
The Cavaliers players are in a hurry. It's going to make Li Liang cast, and then enter, the feel will be awful to open.
In the end, Li Liang didn't shoot, but a pass was made to the basket. McGee caught up and caught the ball with a dunk.
It's not just James who can pass the ball. Li Liang is also a good passer.
The average number of assists per game this season is 5 people.
The two sides clearly had a good offensive start, unlike the previous round, which turned into an ugly defensive battle under the agitation of the Bulls.
However, the Pacers at home are even better.
James held the ball again on the left with Li Liang and missed a mid-range jumper.
JR-Smith got a rebound and moved quickly.
The Cavaliers retreated very quickly, Hill slowed down, the ball was still given to Li Liang.
Li Liang observed from a high position, and the winged JR-Smith suddenly turned back and cut the rim.
Li Liang once again threw the pass to Smith, Smith jumped high, the air relay, and his hands dunked!
Because of the retreat, the Cavaliers hadn't formed a basket under the emptiness, so Smith found this opportunity.
And Li Liang's pass is just right.
This is what his passing is like, not smart, but always just right, anyway, he passes.
After entering the playoffs, Li Liang's role on the offensive end became more and more prominent, completely highlighting his core position.
Every goal scored by the Pacers is related to him.
At 10:6, the Pacers took the lead.
The good state of Li Liang's opening is not over yet.
After that, George once again made a strong layup from the left and dribble out the bottom line...
Throughout the regular season, the Cavaliers did not really solve a problem, that is, how to completely integrate George's offense and James.
The role of the two on the offensive end slightly overlaps, and George's outside shooting ability can only be said to be average (after all, there is no broken leg bonus).
Therefore, he still takes the route of the Heat Wade, cuts and runs back, and at the same time uses the ball to take over the attack on the field.
George's more role is still reflected on the defensive end, he shared a lot of pressure on James, when James can invest more in the offense.
The Pacers have a defensive player who is very familiar with him, Danny Granger.
Just this time, Granger came over to defend in time, blocking George's breakthrough route, causing him to make mistakes.
The ball was returned to the Pacers again.
The Cavaliers feel a bit in trouble~EbookFREE.me~ They can't find a breakthrough.
The Pacers have only one breakthrough, Li Liang.
Attacking the position, this time it was Li Liang's turn to hold the ball, McGee's pick-and-roll, and after covering, the middle road even vacated a position!
The Cavaliers made a defensive mistake, Li Liang immediately shot three points!
Mozgov responded and threw it up, but he knocked Li Liang down, but the ball did not fall, and continued to follow the predetermined track and entered the center of the basket!
Huge cheers broke out at Conseco Arena.
The four Pacers players stepped forward to surround Li Liang.
Li Liang looked up, what do you want to do? Encircled tightly?
Oh, pull me up, I have a total of two hands, why are you so many people pulling me?
Three points, Li Liang's condition, hot and hot.
