057: A real offensive wave

After the first quarter, although the Pacers trailed by two points, Henson didn't make any adjustments. Because it wasn't tactical reasons that led to the team's lag, the Pacers' tactics were executed very well. They put Anthony under a lot of pressure on the defensive end, as evidenced by just 2-of-6 shooting. On the offensive end, the Pacers also got a lot of opportunities through patient and quick transmission.

The problem is that the players didn't convert their chances into scores. Dunleavy made 0-of-3 shooting and Holiday made 1-of-3...... If it weren't for the consistent performance of Granger and George, Crazy Karl might have really opened the scoring in one quarter.

In the criticism of many media outlets, Henson only agreed that a team cannot win by feel, because their feel will not always be so good. But again, Henson believes. The feel of a team is not going to be so bad forever, especially with his immense emphasis on shooting drills.

So in the second quarter of the game, Dunleavy still played. The Pacers' tactics have not changed, solid defense and patient offense. No matter how the Nuggets run, they don't participate.

Thanks to Holiday and Granger, if it weren't for the two of them steadying their rhythm on the court, it would be strange that the Pacers' group of young people wouldn't have been carried away.

At this time, George. Carl was still complacent. That idiot rookie said that he wanted to fight against the Nuggets, but he was simply pressed by the Nuggets. Looking at the Nuggets' tidal offensive, he believes it won't be long before the Pacers' defense collapses under high pressure.

However, after the start of the second quarter, it was the Pacers who scored first.

Holiday borrowed Horford's cover to get into the restricted area, and the Pacers didn't pull away, but squeezed the opposing defensive formation to gain space. Breaking through the ball is the best squeezing strategy.

When the basketball was in Dunleavy's hands, Anthony, who was shrinking the defense, was still two steps away from Dunleavy. "Little Melon" looked disdainful, and in the face of this white shooter who shot 0 in the first quarter of the game, he seemed to say: You just vote, and I will admit it if you enter.

As a shooter, you have to dare to shoot first. You may not be able to score a shot, but if you don't, you won't score. So even if he didn't score a point in the first quarter, Dunleavy still made a brave shot. This time, the arc is just right, and the aim is right. After the shot, Dunleavy maintained a wrist-pressed posture until the basketball went into the net!

"Brush!" What a pleasant voice, Dunleavy bared his white teeth.

"The ball went in, who would have thought that the Pacers were the first to score in the second quarter! And it was Dunleavy who didn't score a point in the first quarter who helped the Pacers score! He finally reciprocated Coach Henson's trust in him...... Wait, the referee signaled that it was a two-point shot, and Dunleavy seemed to step on the line when he shot. ”

Although the three-pointer turned into two, it still couldn't stop Dunleavy's bursting self-confidence. That's how it feels, that's how it felt when I shot this afternoon. The white shooter finally found his touch after all three of his first three shots were off target!

Anthony's lazy defensive attitude just now almost didn't put George off. Carl vomited blood in anger, and with Anthony's physicality and IQ, he should have been a great perimeter defensive gate. But the guy seems to have been blinded by the offense and scoring, and maybe Anthony would have been tempted to let his opponent shoot early so he could get into the attack as quickly as possible.

Anthony's way of solving defensive problems is simple, which is to take a point on your head too!

This time, Anthony wiped past Granger with a nice turn. I have to admit that as a superstar, Henson does have a hard time limiting Anthony in a 1-on-1. That's why he found a "spare tire" for Anthony.

Anthony thought he would be able to cut to the basket and score after brushing Granger, but as soon as he turned around, Anthony knocked down Wesley, who came out of nowhere. Matthews! Matthews decisively made up the defense and made an offensive foul on Anthony! Henson emphasized in Matthews' ear more than once during the break: "Don't worry, he won't pass!" ”

"What the fuck are you doing! Damn Cameron! Get the hell out of New York now! "The moment the referee's whistle blows, George. Old man Karl also burst out with a loud scolding! It was so loud that it could be heard by anyone in the third row of the stands.

Anthony glared at Carl viciously and publicly reprimanded himself in front of so many people, have you ever respected me as a superstar?

Henson sat on the bench and watched the farce silently, and the show began!

The Pacers were unaffected by this episode and continued to play their own offense. This time, Anthony picked up a little bit on the defensive end. But before he could take a few steps, the sound of the Nets tumbling could be heard behind Anthony again. This time, it was Al who hit the shot. Horford.

He pretended to mention high cover, but in fact he was looking for a shot. By the time the Brazilians reacted, it was too late.

From falling behind by two points to surpassing by two points, it took the Pacers less than a minute!

Henson, who had been standing on the sidelines, sat back on the bench and looked at his good partner Vogel with a smile on his face. "Adjust your sitting, the game is about to start looking good!"

You think just George. Will Carl's scolding stop Anthony? No, Anthony is definitely a prick. The more Carl scolded him, the more he wanted to shut up Carl with his score!

In fact, George. Carl wished the Nuggets could get Anthony away. It's just that the Nuggets management is still looking for maximum benefits.

Anthony's breakthrough is still sharp, but the Nuggets' interior can't open up much offensive space for Anthony. Nene has a shot, but Anthony also has to pass the ball to the Brazilian before he can shoot.

Under the tough block of Granger and Horford, Anthony's layup smashed on the left side of the basket and missed!

Dunleavy, who is 2.06 meters tall, actively scrambles and protects the defensive rebound. Then he made a long pass to Holiday and the Pacers played a quick counterattack for the first time in the game!

Billups is experienced, but his physical condition has deteriorated severely. In the high-speed run, Billups was gradually thrown away by Holiday and could only watch as the young Holiday smashed with one hand.

The years are always merciless.

George. Karl's face turned red with anger, and he knew very well that the Pacers were also an offensive team. Once the Pacers are put on the ground, the consequences are unimaginable. And that bastard coach of the Pacers is a charlatan at all! Say anything to attack against offense, but so far, he has deliberately lured the Nuggets to attack, and used defense to stabilize the situation!

Using a trainee reporter to confuse the public, Carl felt like he was underestimating the Chinese coach. The most important thing is that Christine is very grateful to Henson at this time......

On the next round, Anthony finally passed the ball, and Afflalo's long two-point cut stopped the bleeding for the Nuggets. But soon, Dunleavy fired again, hitting the basket for the second time in a row! This time, the Nuggets weren't so lucky. Real three-point hits, no more stepping on the line!

Throughout the second quarter of the game, the Pacers had a good hand. When their offensive wave did come, the Nuggets' defense was a little overwhelmed. However, the Nuggets still relied on a lot of quick counter-attacks to get easy scoring opportunities, which did not allow the Pacers to pull away. But when George. After Carl couldn't bear to replace Anthony, the Nuggets' offense came to a standstill again.

Without Anthony, the Nuggets' bench sharpener J.R. Smith is being restrained by another madman, Stephenson, and Carl feels like things are not good!

At halftime, 58-50. Whether Crazy Karl wants to admit it or not, in the first quarter of the game, the Pacers' offense did engulf the Nuggets!

"Listen, I want you to fight for the rebounds in the frontcourt with all your might, as a way to curb the Nuggets' quick counterattack! Even if you can't grab it, don't let the Nuggets easily grab the rebound. Force them to slow down and disrupt their rhythm! "At half-time, Henson was in the dressing room with a dense whiteboard. One by one, the players gasped and their eyes lit up.

It looks like these little guys are already addicted! Keep attacking, don't stop!

As soon as the game came up in the third quarter, Wesley. Matthews' cold shot got the Pacers off to a good start. In the first half, Matthews focused on the defensive end and showed little on the offensive end. So in the third quarter of the game, the Nuggets focused on Dunleavy, Granger and Holiday but habitually ignored Matthews.

In this way, Matthews took the lead from distance on the right side of the horn. The margin was stretched to double digits, and Afflaro was beaten by George. Carl scolded so much that he didn't dare to look up.

With 11 points behind, Anthony was a little anxious. He took a shot straight after receiving a pass from Billups from outside the three-point line! It's just a pity that the aura of superstar doesn't hang over Anthony today. His shot came out of the box, and the long rebound was picked up by Granger! Granger didn't hesitate and immediately held the ball and pushed quickly, and the Pacers' offense became more and more fierce under the shouts of the home fans!

Anthony clings to Granger, who has just defended himself and grabbed the rebound, with a vengeance. But he seems to have forgotten that his defensive target was Dunleavy.

Granger, who was on the ball with the ball, made a behind-the-back pass that allowed Dunleavy to catch the basketball at 45° on his favorite left side. In the first quarter of the game, he shot 0-of-3 from three-point range, and Henson still chose to trust him. In the second quarter, he scored 7 points and found his touch. And now, it's time to repay Henson's trust!

The knife fell in his hand, and Dunleavy's hand felt hot. The basketball went straight to the net, so hollow that it didn't even touch the net! Once the ball was in, Dunleavy raised his arms and gestured three fingers. The entire Consec Arena was set on fire, and cheers even broke through the soundproof walls of the luxury private rooms and burst into Bird's ears.

Bird's hand holding the cigar was trembling slightly, how long has it been since he had been so passionate in the Consec Arena?

"14 points, the Pacers' offense is getting fiercer and fiercer! The Nuggets must slow down now and solidify their defense first! Miller didn't expect the game to play like this, and somehow it suddenly went smoothly. However, if Henson hadn't stuck to his strategy in the face of poor first-quarter play, where would the Pacers have had a 14-point advantage?

The Nuggets' offense is still fast, and the more they fall behind, the faster they go. This kind of team that plays "bandit basketball" can be slowed down wherever it is said to be slow.

Billups deliberately pressed the tempo and closed the margin with a solid mid-range shot in his quest to regain control.

Unexpectedly, the Pacers soon scored the third three-pointer of the third quarter, still from Dunleavy!

Anthony is now preoccupied with chasing points and is always impatient on the defensive end. So Dunleavy flew Anthony with just a simple fake shot, and then made a comfortable shot, and the basketball hit again!

This is the terrible thing about the shooter, if the shooter is allowed to shoot, he can really shoot how he wants.

This undoubtedly made Anthony go away. He directly controlled the ball himself through half court, ignored everyone's brainless breakthroughs, and then made a pull-up jump shot on the edge of the three-second zone and hit another iron.

The Pacers fought back quickly, faster than the Nuggets! Only this time, Holiday missed a three-point shot, and the Pacers' momentum seemed to be broken. Seeing this situation, Anthony ran directly to the frontcourt, hoping to make this fast attack!

But Horford squeezed into the interior hard, and with his height of 2.08 meters, he snatched the offensive rebound! Horford is definitely the kind of master who dares to fight, and in the face of the ill-prepared Brazilian, Horford grabbed the offensive rebound according to Henson's instructions!

The rebounds were not protected, and the Nuggets naturally couldn't fight back. But at this time, Anthony was already in the other half, Horford passed the ball to Dunleavy, Anthony couldn't catch up at all, Dunleavy opened his hand at the top of the arc and shot, and the basketball scored again, with an 18-point difference!

"Toot toot!" A quick whistle blew and George. Karl had to call a halt to the game, the Pacers' offense was so fierce that before he could react to what was happening, he was already 18 points behind!

And the pause did not hinder the continued heat of the atmosphere at the scene. Pacers fans stood up and raised their arms and cheered wildly. Miller joined in. The terrifying wave of attack just now has whipped everyone's adrenaline to the highest point!

Silly White Sweet Christine looked at Henson with great adoration, and the coach said that he really did it. And to the extreme! In the blink of an eye, his team quickly opened up the deficit with a dazzling array of attacks.

Pacers fans are now in love with Henson and Dunleavy to death. They used the most beautiful basketball to bring a carnival to the home fans!

At this time, only George. Carl knew he was fucking fucking fucked by that Chinese American!
