Chapter 404: unfortunately

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the strongest metaphysical coach!
The Pacers played the best defense in the series, but still did not solve the Knicks starting lineup.
The problem has not yet figured out a better way, the impact of the Knicks rotation is coming again.
The only option for the Pacers is to increase the playing time of the main players and reduce the number of rotations.
There is no way, the players can't keep up with the combat effectiveness. The Pacers now only dare to rotate with seven players, one outside and one inside. Everyone takes turns to hold the breath.
In the fierce confrontation, both sides scored very few points in the first half. The best performance of the two teams was the fifth position, both scoring and defense.
Mainly in terms of statistics, like Ibaka's defense of David West is really good, but the statistics are not obvious.
The Knicks had the fewest scoring in the first half since the playoffs, and the Pacers still have something.
The overall defense can be practiced even if it is not open, but it is really a physically demanding thing.
Many later teams didn't practice this at all, and there were objective difficulties.
Although the referee's scale is larger, the two teams still foul a lot.
So during the intermission, Qi Li again asked the players to show aggressiveness.
Even if it's a substitution, the Knicks are not afraid at all, just so hard, but the Pacers can't afford it.
But the Pacers can't do anything about it. Being a weaker is to have fewer choices.
However, at home, the Pacers' state is still adjusted well. They have another player to stand up in the third quarter to ensure defensive efficiency, this time it is Stephenson.
The Pacers' lineup is indeed okay. The players in a few positions are not particularly strong, but not particularly weak.
Maintaining the defensive degree only needs to shine on the offensive end at some point, and there is hope to win the game.
The Knicks are strong enough that the opponent has never found a chance, but it's not that they played badly.
The defensive team can create surprises in front of the Knicks from time to time, which is still very powerful.
Now that there are so many defensive teams in the league, not many can do that.
In the third quarter, the two sides were still indistinguishable, and even the Pacers took the lead.
But when it comes to the rotation period, it's time to test them again. As long as Drummond rests, the Knicks speed up wildly.
The Pacers can hardly keep up with the Knicks in rhythm regardless of Hibbert or not.
Not to mention whether Hibbert is tired or not, this buddy is not particularly good in rebounding.
The Knicks just put the fourth position inside, depending on whether the opponent can be a big man. Anyway, Vucevic on the Knicks side can also put pressure on the opponent during the gap.
The Pacers still rely on the main force, the two substitutes did not play out at all.
Relying on the main force, the Pacers can withstand the rotation period.
The Knicks went on to play a major and four minors, giving Ibaka more time to rest. Butler will stay on the court when Ibaka comes up. The Knicks have a winning lineup and basically have no weaknesses on both ends of the offense and defense.
By the last five minutes, the two teams were still in between.
But at the last moment, the Knicks couldn't stand it a bit. Their movement was no longer as agile as before.
Vogel stood on the sidelines and kept walking, but didn't shout.
The Pacers players are encouraging each other, they feel there is a chance this time.
However, Curry suddenly went in for a seemingly ordinary layup and scored 2+1, and then hit another throw, which made the Pacers a little confused.
Curry is not only three-pointers, but his three-pointers are too threatening, and defensive players on the court tend to forget something.
At this time, the Knicks players were more physically strong and moved faster. Hibbert was already a little unable to move his legs. His defense began to slow down, and Curry decisively came out.
The stalemate was almost at the end, the Knicks suddenly took the lead, and the Pacers were a little uncomfortable.
What's more troublesome is that they can't find the feeling of offense, Parsons can't score, and Hibbert can't.
At the crucial moment West finally hit a goal, but then Hibbert fouled again.
He didn't foul much before, but this time it was because of his slow action that he fouled five times continuously.
There seemed to be some problems with the Pacers' mentality. Vogel paused twice, and his neatly combed hair was caught in a mess. Hope was shattered.
Only time is running out, and after two more rounds, the Pacers can only bet on three points.
After Parsons missed two shots from outside the three-point line, the game was settled and the Knicks won the match point again.
Qili said after the game: "The beauty of our team is that we don't follow other teams to adjust our play, we just keep persisting and do what we do."
He just talked casually, but many reporters below nodded frequently.
Qi Li suppressed a smile. That's what the interview is about. You can talk nonsense. As long as it is not a matter of principle and will not be fined, the winner can always say anything.
"Our efforts are not reflected by statistics. I am very proud of the team's defensive endeavors, desire for rebounds and sharing the ball." He added.
"We are very eager for victory today," Curry said. "After a big score of 2:0, we are still fully prepared. The game fully demonstrated our concentration."
"This is Knicks basketball. We defended well and helped each other. Without the help of my teammates, I couldn't have played so well."
"We can't give up hope." Vogel said amicably after the game. "Opponents have to win 4 games to get us out of the game. Now we are still at home, and doing our own thing is the attitude we should have."
"The next game, we have to win, not winning means death," David West said, "but at this moment ~EbookFREE.me~ we don't need to be depressed. We have another game. To play, we must play the game well, we must remain confident, and we must believe that we can do it."
The series is not over yet, but everyone has sentenced the Pacers to death. No one can come back from this situation, let alone the Knicks, the best team in the league.
The other groups of games are also in full swing. In the Spurs and Warriors game, the Warriors did not take advantage of returning to the home court. The old Spurs took control of the rhythm from the beginning of the game.
With the explosion of Parker and Duncan, they defeated the Warriors.
Harden and George are both restricted, and the Spurs' defense makes them uncomfortable.
In the Thunder and Grizzlies game, Durant's playing time is getting longer and longer, but his efficiency is decreasing.
This is a vicious circle. The harder the Thunder becomes, the less coach Brooks dared to make new attempts.
Qi Li really felt sorry. He felt that if the Thunder didn't have any problems, they would definitely be the opponent that could cause them the most trouble. Unfortunately, injuries are also part of competitive sports.
