Chapter 376: The shining Peja, the second round has a good start
So a very funny scene appeared. Even if the bulls were made so awesome by the Spinach Company and were so generous, there were still more gambling dogs who bought Philadelphia to win the championship. Why? Because Wang Lin is a veritable nemesis - the old rogue.
The actions of the gambling dogs made the Spinach Company's handicap begin to change again, and they turned Philadelphia into the one with the lowest odds, which made many gambling dogs curse.
Wang Lin is not a gambling dog and has no interest in those things outside. On May 5, the first battle with the Pacers began.
The Pacers did not have much time to rest in Philadelphia. They played the first round of decisive games with the Hawks III, and they would have their first match against Philadelphia one day apart.
The game did not start, and Larry Bird chatted with Wang Lin, "Coach Wang, I won't let go of this game. Unfortunately, you didn't give me the best coach. If you give it to me, it doesn't matter if you win one."
Wang Lin just laughed, and quarreling with Larry Bird was a waste of saliva. This guy is a veritable king of strong mouths.
In terms of broadcasting, Philadelphia's home court is TNT and Indiana is NBC. Stern is also paying close attention to the competition between this group of young coaches. He is very curious about the existence of Larry Bird, a player-age player, and what kind of brilliance can shine in the position of the head coach.
The Pacers' starting lineup is no different from the Hawks in the fifth game. There has been a change in Philadelphia. Duncan went to the fifth position and McDace played the fourth position. Duncan always played the fourth position in the first round. In the second round, Wang Lin immediately let the opponent play five.
Seeing Wang Lin's formation, Larry Bird threw the tactical board aside and then warned the Dutch in a very serious tone. "Rick, you are the key to this game. I don't want you to be defeated by the No. 21 face-paralyzing rookie, do you understand?"
Rick Schmitz nodded. After years of baptism, the flying Dutchman could no longer fly. He is now a standard floor flow. Larry Bird's tactical purpose is very simple. Everyone serves Rick Schmitz and must not let Duncan get it up.
"This game is really exciting. Tim went to the fifth position, that poor Dutchman, let me watch him silent for half a second." Rick Barry covered his chest and made a prayer look. This guy is really addicted to playing.
While dribbling, Mark Jackson recalled Wang Lin's words, "I want to see a different kind of you in this game. You have the ability to attack. Why don't you take it out? Jaylen Ross can't defend you."
Mark Jackson arrived at the frontcourt, and the Pacers were all in the position. Their top guy gave Mark Jackson no chance to pass the ball. Jaylen Ross faced Mark Jackson and looked at the opponent with his waist.
Mark Jackson transported the ball to the more comfortable hand, and at the same time poured all the force on his legs. With a bang, Mark Jackson accelerated, which was a very ordinary acceleration. He actually broke through from Jaylen Rose's side. Reggie Miller was a little confused. He quickly ran over from Iverson to make up for defense, but his speed of defense was far worse than his running without the ball.
Before he could wait for the "Jordan's lifelong enemy" to come to Mark Jackson, the latter had already completed the attack at the top of the arc of the inside.
One of Mark Jackson's scoring methods is to make a mid-range shot with one step.
Jaylen Ross looked at the coach's direction. Larry Bird's face had already developed in a twisted direction. He quickly turned his head and took the ball from the referee. When he arrived in front, Mark Jackson did not make a risky steal. It was not Iverson who was against Reggie Miller, but Jordan's junior brother. Reggie Miller could walk Jordan, partly because someone was covering him, and partly because he consumed less physical strength than Jordan at that time.
So under normal circumstances, it takes a lot of effort to score against the second position with strong defense. "Damn, when I see you, I see the idiot who sticks out his tongue. Why are you not wearing No. 23, but No. 42?"
Jerry Starkhouse looked at Reggie Miller and just stopped talking. Reggie Miller felt that his saliva was wasted. His skill in talking trash made this guy push him even tighter. Jaylen Rose could only attack by himself, because there was no good chance to play in other positions.
Mark Jackson has a good sense of position. Jaylen Ross broke through several times but failed. In the end, he had to choose to shoot on the spot. Duang, the ball went straight out of the basket, and the rebound was obtained by Duncan. Duncan threw the ball directly to Iverson. Iverson got the score again when he went to the backcourt. Larry Bird couldn't bear it and asked for a timeout.
The Pacers players returned to the bench, Jaylen Ross was the one who was most worried. Sure enough, he just sat down, and the saliva from Larry Bird's mouth shot directly at him, 'f.u.c.k, are you playing with ***, Jaylen, tell me what you are playing in the past few minutes, what are you thinking. It seems you need to calm down, Travis, you are on, I don't want to see you and Jaylen make the same stupid mistakes."
Jaylen Ross was very frustrated. He had his own relationship when he played so embarrassedly at the beginning, but more importantly, other teammates did not support him in time. If his teammates were like Philadelphia, the result would be completely different.
Travis Best came on the court, and this guy had long lost the style of McDonald's No. 1 high school student point guard. He is now an ordinary NBA rotation player and is not even guaranteed to start.
After he came on the court, the Pacers' offense improved a lot, and the tactical effects Larry Bird wanted began to slowly show. Although Travis Best's defense was not as good as Jaylen Ross, his tactical execution was still better than Jaylen Ross.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers actually led Philadelphia by 2 points, but the Philadelphia starters have played for quite a while. They have not had much rest since the first quarter, except for the halftime break.
"In the fourth quarter, David, Tony, Peja, Ben, Rick, everyone else rest." The starters can't continue to play like this. Although Iverson and others are young, Wang Lin doesn't want to fight the main players. He used them before, because he thought he could throw the Pacers away in the third quarter, but Larry Bird used his strength to slap Wang Lin, so take it slowly.
Seeing Wang Lin coming onto five substitutes at once, Larry Bird chose to use the starting lineup to face the match. The substitutes' strength is much worse than the starting lineup, but their overall nature is much better than the starting lineup. Perhaps it is because these people do not have the super personal ability of starting lineup.
"Three-pointer, another three-pointer. Is this No. 8 player possessed by Drazan? His shooting is really like that man, all from Europe. "Rick Barry was shocked incoherent in the commentary seat. At the critical moment when the Pacers wanted to expand the score, Peja, an NBA rookie, scored two three-pointers in a row on the playoff stage, and overtook the Pacers. During this period, Reggie Miller was too anxious to return one, but he was in a hurry to make an offensive foul by Rick Fox.
Wang Lin kept clapping his hands on the sidelines, and Pejia's strength finally began to show. When he got a three-pointer, he would not stop. Perhaps the starters didn't need to play at all.
Derek McKay, Reggie Miller and others began to squeeze Peja in turn, but in the face of this defense, Peja still threw the ball out in a crooked manner, and the ball went in. Larry Bird could only be described as dumbfounded on the sidelines. As a player with equally superb shooting skills, he naturally knew what his current state meant for the Pacers.
So Larry Bird requested a timeout. He wanted to stop Peja's momentum and come back after the timeout. The Philadelphia starters came on the court, but Peja still didn't go down, which put a lot of pressure on the Pacers' defense. Iverson took this opportunity to start rushing in. Although his shooting was OK, Philadelphia No. 3 prefers to fight with hand-to-hand combat, which is more exciting and more manly.
