Al. Horford's dunk undoubtedly gave the Pacers a good start in the second half. But it's not enough to have a violent dunk, the Pacers need to make sure that the opponent doesn't score if they score their own goals to be able to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Not to mention, Horford's angry dunk really boosted the morale of the rest of the Pacers, and that morale carried over to the defensive end. For example, this time, David. West fanned Bosh's three-point shot out of bounds.

Due to the need for Horford to stay under the basket to protect the frame, Henson has been using West to play against Bosh on the defensive end of this game. And when Horford had already put on a performance on the offensive end, West didn't dare to show weakness and sent Bosh a big risk.

Originally, the two sides were angry in this game, and Bosh and West sprayed each other with trash talk more than once. This time, he successfully blocked the shot of the "Dragon King", and West naturally did not let go of the opportunity to perform. He roared wildly in the sky, giving Bosh goosebumps.

Although the ball on offense this time still belongs to the Heat, there is no doubt that the Heat's morale has been hit to a certain extent.

Sure enough, then the Heat tried to attack for the second time, and Wade's mid-range was directly under George's interference. Horford grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Heat team returned in vain!

All Heat players quickly stepped back to prevent the Pacers from taking advantage of missed shots to counterattack. However, the Pacers didn't have the pace to counter at all this time, and Paul leisurely dribbled through the half.

Such a slow pace can only say one thing - the Pacers still have to play inside!

With his back against Haslem, he sat down suddenly, and David. West is solidly going to get to the location. Haslem didn't expect to be targeted, and he was targeted by a guy who wasn't easy to mess with.

Nowadays, in this league, there are not many teams that dare to let the inside singles. It's not because I can't look down on those 2 points, but many teams haven't been able to complete the inside line of singles in the low post at all!

Most of the team's interior players are simple muscles or jumping men, and most of these players are rough and do not have much ability to attack in the low post. Therefore, the requirements for interior single-defense players are actually decreasing. That's why Spoelstra dared to line up such a lineup of Haslem starting the fourth position and Bosh starting the fifth position.

But the Pacers are different, and West and Horford have impeccable scoring skills. Therefore, the rim-protecting lineup of Haslem and Bosh is not enough to see.

West's fundamentals are very solid, and Haslem is trying to push the guy out of the way, but to no avail.

Paul is familiar with hoisting the ball to West, and as an old partner who has been working together since his time with the Hornets, Paul knows the angle and force to pass the ball to West is the best fit.

West has the ball, and the Heat don't have a bag! Seeing this, the "17-foot assassin" also became bold, sat back, and then turned over and jumped out!

Heat captain Haslem worked very hard to block West, but the current Haslem is not the kind of player with great ability. He didn't let West score directly, but he did get a foul on his back and sent West to the free throw line.

"It's still a low-post offense, and it can be seen that Coach Henson wants to skip the strongest part of the Heat's defense! And Coach Spoelstra didn't get on the bag, and his thinking was not difficult to analyze, he didn't believe that Horford and West could kill the game! Then let's see if these two elders can kill the game! ”

In the quiet environment created by Pacers fans, West hit two free throws. The Pacers scored their second solo inside game with only two points left.

Spoelstra knew very well that against someone like Henson, he must not be led by the nose.

Why doesn't he want to attract the bag in the singles to reduce the offensive pressure on the outside? Spoelstra knows how capable Henson is, and he has been dominated by Henson more than once. But today, he just doesn't adjust as Henson thinks.

If you want to kill the game with West and Horford, Spoelstra wants to see if James can kill the game, or those two "outdated All-Stars" can kill the game!

Such thoughts had just popped into Spoelstra's mind, and James hit a three-point shot.

In the first half, James shot 2 of 2 from three-point range. But the first shot of the second half ended in failure.

In fact, James' problem outside the three-point line is not simply inaccurate, but inconsistent enough.

Sometimes, he can score several in a row. Sometimes, however, large vacancies can be lost.

Spoelstra's missed three-point shot meant the Pacers had a chance to tie or even overtake.

Can West and Horford kill the game, Henson is going to let Spoelstra take a good look now!

This time, although the Heat did not have a bag, they also learned to be smart. Bosh went around defending Horford and didn't let him catch the ball. However, this also means that Bosh can no longer save to help defend Paul!

So Paul got past Chalmers with a nice big arc. In the first half, when Paul broke through, there was always a Heat player who came out to make up for it.

But now, Bosh hesitated. He didn't know if he should stay with Horford or if he should guard Paul.

By the time Paul had reached the edge of the three-second zone, Bosh knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. One second slower, and Paul will be able to throw a shot!

Paul lifted his basketball and leaped high, which naturally drew Bosh's defensive attention. But it was all just a feint, and in the air, Paul took the ball off his head and tucked it through Bosh's waist to Horford.

Chris. Paul's pass was wonderful!

By the time Horford received the basketball, Haslem had already made up for it. But the height of the Heat captain of 2.03 meters really can't pose any threat to Horford.

I saw the Dominican center stretch out his arms, play high, and easily make a layup, for such a height, Haslem couldn't reach it, 6-0! The advantage that the Heat team fought so hard for in the first half of the game disappeared in an instant!

West and Horford combined for six points, and that was just the beginning.

After the third quarter, all of the Pacers' offense revolved around these two interior lines.

Horford was caught in the basket and assisted West to score on a mid-range shot.

West played an inside pass with his back to Horford, who leaned on Bosh to hit a hook shot.

Although after that, a three-point from Chalmers temporarily stopped the bleeding for the Heat. But soon, Horford squeezed the momentum with a quick dunk on the catch!

At this point, the Pacers suddenly launched a quick counterattack, and it was Horford who ran at the front! The Pacers' No. 4 and No. 5 positions were completely liberated.

Paul saw the stitches as he went, and comfortably sniffed the ball into Horford's arms. Horford ignored Haslem, who was guarding the basket, and jumped straight for a dunk, and Haslem couldn't dodge in time and was knocked to the ground.

In response, Haslem thought it was Horford who committed an offensive foul and got into a verbal altercation with the referee. As a result, the Heat captain became the fourth player in the game to be whistled for a technical foul after West, Battier and Bosh in the first half of the game.

After being scored by the opponent in a row, and being whistled for technical fouls, the Heat's rhythm on the court was already extremely chaotic. As a result, Spoelstra was forced to suspend the game.

But his aim was not to change tactics, but to appease the mentality of the players! So after the timeout came back, the Heat's first defense, Henson found that Spoelstra still didn't want to wrap up!

"I really don't believe in evil." Henson made a few gestures at Paul and continued to attack the inside!

As a result, Haslem and Bosh, two unlucky eggs, lived in dire straits.

West, an old fritter, frequently made fouls to the free throw line, and Horford's all-around skills annoyed Bosh.

He can cut, he can break through with the ball, he can shoot, he can shoot from a distance. In an era where interior players are becoming more and more offensive, Bosh feels like he's not met such a tough opponent in a long time.

In the entire third quarter, George and Paul, the two top scorers, scored only six points combined. And the rest of the scoring is basically done by West and Horford!

The inside line of the Heat team was broken through in its entirety! Inside, that's a matter of the Heat's old talk. But because most teams in the league don't have a good interior line these days, the Heat's problems aren't too serious.

can meet the Pacers, and the shortcomings of the Heat are undoubtedly infinitely magnified.

After entering the rotation lineup, the Pacers' interior offense has not stopped. Even Yi Jianlian, who has been serving as an anti-aircraft turret with the Pacers, sat in the restricted area and hit Lewis twice.

If the Pacers' bench interior line is not strong enough, then the Heat's bench interior line is even more unwatchable. Rassad. Even in his heyday, Lewis played more of a No. 3 position, not an interior player at all.

And "Birdman" Anderson used his bounce to get on Joe. Anthony had to eat and drink on his head and hit multiple layups.

Spoelstra didn't want to be led by Henson, but in the end found that no compromise would work.

The Pacers' interior line can really kill the game!

Just when the Heat were in danger, it was a beautiful three-point layup by James that allowed the Heat to narrow the gap to 8 points, single digits, before the end of the third quarter.

If it weren't for LeBron, the Heat wouldn't know how many times they would have died. The Pacers turned the tide in the second half, and if the Miami Heat still didn't do anything, a 22-game winning streak would be closer to Indianapolis! ”

Mike. Brin took a deep breath, maybe tonight was a moment to witness history!

Bag clip, or no bag clip

Henson did one of his favorite things - put his two vials of poison in front of Spoelstra, depending on which "taste" he liked to die.

Again, the Heat were overrun by Henson!
