Chapter 380 Targeted No. 31, win away
On May 9th, Philadelphia and his group came to the Arena of Market Square. As for the Conseco Arena, it was only completed in 1999, and now it has only been half completed. This arena can accommodate about 16,500 people. This game is broadcast live by NBC. The three commentators are Chuck Daly, Mike Bryn and Doug Collins.
"This game was very loud before the game. This is the first time I saw Wang say that kind of words, but Reggie still showed his edge as usual. I don't know what better performance he will perform in this game."
Chuck Daly's words did not compliment either side, but it sounded like he had stepped on Reggie Miller. His sharpness was not a compliment at some point.
"I don't think Reggie's state can be maintained forever, and when he doesn't have that state, it's when Philadelphia attacks back. Philadelphia is away in this game, but their chances are still great."
Doug Collins's thinking in the commentary seat was dozens of times clearer than the coach seat, which is why many commentators became head coaches but found that there was a completely different difference from their imagination.
The starting lineups of both sides did not change. The Pacers were the ones who got the ball. Amid the cheers of the audience, Travis Best broke through to the inside and distributed the ball to Dale Davis. Dale Davis got the ball and wanted to dunk, but Duncan directly blocked it with a block. Although Duncan's arm span was not that long, his excellent defensive awareness and lateral movement speed completely made up for this shortcoming.
The ball was covered firmly, and the ball rolled to the floor. The referee did not blew the whistle. Derek McKay in the distance received the ball and chose to take action without anyone defending the ball from the outside. Duang, the ball popped out of the field. Reggie Miller was very unhappy. If the ball was passed to him just now, it would be a chance to score. This stupid person knew that he was doing it.
In Philadelphia, Mark Jackson did not control the ball, and the person who controlled the ball became Iverson. This made Larry Bird unexpectedly. Mark Jackson went to deal with his old teammate Reggie Miller with Jerry Starkhouse. Iverson did not make any adjustments to Travis Best. He pulled the ball from the outside and shot, brushed the ball into the net. Chip England on the sidelines was a little relieved. Iverson was not a hard-working player, but his learning talent was really perverted. He corrected the bad shooting habits he had to correct in a very short time.
Larry Bird did not call a timeout. He held his chin and wanted to see what Wang Lin was selling in the gourd. The Warriors did not substitute, but Mark Jackson went to the second position, and Iverson came to the first position. Reggie Miller could still run when facing a Jerry Starkhouse, but facing the two, he could not meet the man. After all, his little arms and legs were swaying there, and he was a real stream of consciousness.
Larry Bird understood Wang Lin's tactical intentions and sacrificed Mark Jackson's organizational ability in exchange for his excellent defensive ability. The strongest sharp knife on the Pacers is No. 31. As long as you watch him, no one else on the outside needs to see it.
Damn, Larry Bird hammered the tactical board in his hand, and before he knew it, he actually got into Wang Lin's trap again.
"Coach Wang's change of formation is unexpected. Without substitutions, he used the player's own characteristics to achieve a leading advantage. How should Larry deal with it? Reggie shot three times in the first quarter and didn't score at all. Although he got the score, it was only obtained by free throws. Unless he turned into Jerry West in this game and stood on the free throw line frantically, otherwise there would be no chance at all. As for Rick Schmitz, who performed well in the last game, he really couldn't play against Tim Duncan in this game."
Reggie Miller couldn't hear what Doug Collins said in the commentary seat. If he heard it, he might not have been sure that this guy would run there to fight Doug Collins. Although he had just played for one quarter, Reggie Miller's mentality began to be on the verge of explosion.
"Damn it, that bastard is so tightly arranged in defense that I can't get any good chance to make a phone call unless I become a privileged player like the fool who sticks out his tongue. I need support, why didn't I see your cover?" Reggie Miller was really furious. For a score that relies on projections, there is nothing more atrocity than if they don't have the chance to take action.
Larry Bird did not get angry on the sidelines. Reggie Miller told the truth. Wang Lin asked Mark Jackson to assist in defense, and there was no problem of Iverson assisting in defense. Iverson was also very happy to play in the No. 1 position, which was a completely win-win situation.
Larry Bird began to change the formation in the second quarter. He asked Jaylen Rose to come up and replace Travis Best, a good friend of Weber's college years. His scoring ability was stronger than Travis Best. However, facing Iverson, an absolute ankle finisher, Jaylen Rose was a little overwhelmed. Once on the offense, Iverson slammed left and right and fell directly to the ground, while Iverson broke into the inside line and rode Dale and made a dunk.
The entire scene was filled with a burst of insults, but Iverson didn't care at all. Dale Davis was very depressed. In these games, no matter what he won or lost, the one he was ignored, was not ignored this time, but became the opponent's background board.
Entering the second half, Reggie Miller's form still did not improve. Larry Bird had no choice but to replace Antonio Davis and Big Spoon. Both of them are offensive inside players, hoping to make some contributions on the offensive end.
As for Reggie Miller, this game was really targeted by Philadelphia from the first second of the game. Although there were opportunities to take action during this period, those opportunities were all good opportunities, and they were completely forced to make a shot.
There was one minute left in the fourth quarter, and the score difference between the two sides was fifteen points. Duncan scored a two plus one and widened the score difference to eighteen points. Larry Bird could only wave his hand and replaced the main player and announced his surrender. There was no Miller at all times in this time and space, so no one would fight for this situation where he fell behind eighteen points in one minute. It would be okay to win, but if he lost and the main player was injured, then everything would be over.
Chapter completed!
