Chapter 693: One More Victory

"Free throw line jump dunk! Top 10 dunks of the season! ”

"28 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals, fifth quadruple-double in NBA history, first quadruple-double in the playoffs, tonight, Odin dominates the American Airlines Center!"

"The great battle of legends, with the Pacers beating the Heat away and Meng Xu Hao scoring a quadruple-double, this playoff game is destined to be the most memorable game in NBA history."

"Epic defense, the Pacers beat the Heat on the road, and there are only two games left in the Finals!"

Before the start of this game, the Pacers were the mainstream of the entire public opinion, who let them lose a home court, and lost on the road without a temper at all, so that those media who were already unpleasant to the Pacers found an opportunity to fall into the ground.

And after the end of this game, public opinion in the United States reversed instantly, and almost all the media began to praise the Pacers and Meng Xu, as if the reports of the Pacers before the game had nothing to do with them.

Before this game, since the NBA has block and steal statistics, the NBA has had a total of four quadruple-doubles, an average of once every 8 years, but these quadruple-doubles are all obtained in the regular season, which can also be seen how rare Meng Xu's playoff quadruple-doubles are, and it is no exaggeration to say that Meng Xu's playoff quadruple-double is a legend!

For a business league, every legendary event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so under the secret promotion of the NBA league, the entire North American press is full of news about Meng Xu's playoff quadruple-double, Meng Xu's playoff quadruple-double, for all fans who pay attention to the NBA, and the NBA's sponsors, and the media that are inextricably linked to the NBA, is a gluttonous feast.

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, most of the people who eat melons pay attention to the legendary data of four doubles in a single game, and even sparked discussions about five doubles, as well as Chamberlain, Russell and other ancient beasts, and those insiders, or to put it directly, the opponents of the Pacers, and potential opponents, their attention is all focused on the Pacers' full-court pressing tactics.

Full-court pressing is a very common defensive tactic, almost all NBA teams can use this tactic proficiently, most teams will also use full-court pressing tactics to do the last fight when the game is about to end, or when the score is behind, but the team is different from the team, some teams' full-court pressing tactics are chasing the distraction artifact, and some teams are pressing full-court, but it is a full-court leaking tactic.

The Pacers are obviously the former, the fourth game of the series between the Pacers and the Heat, the Pacers finally won the Heat by 22 points in the case of 9 more fouls and 15 fewer free throws than the Heat.

And after this game, all the teams that regard the Pacers as opponents are racking their brains to think and find strategies and ways to break the Pacers' full-court pressing, especially the Mavericks and Suns, who are in the Western Conference Finals.

As for the Heat, who are playing the Eastern Conference Finals with the Pacers, Pat Riley and Eric Spoelstra, both of whom are now in a hurry, have lost a lot of hair, and after the game, Pat Riley took his assistants into the video room, watched the video of the game repeatedly, and even turned over the video of the Bulls for more than ten years.

The full-court pressing tactic is a tactic with a long history, and the theory of cracking the full-court pressing tactics has long appeared, but when some teams use the full-court pressing, you can't crack it, the Bulls were like this back then, and the current Pacers are also like this, unfortunately, both teams were bumped into by Pat Riley.

In this case, the situation of the Eastern Conference Finals has changed abruptly, after the first three games, it still occupies a small advantage, and is favored by most people, after the fourth game, suddenly became a loner, almost all the bricks who predicted the outcome of the game, are more optimistic about the Pacers to eliminate the Heat and advance to the Finals.

On June 2, 2006, the fifth game of the Pacers and Heat series, that is, the battle of the kings, officially began at the Pacers' home bankers living arena.

On the Pacers' side, after the victory in the last game, their mood is much more relaxed now, especially the fans on the scene, the score is behind and the draw is completely two feelings, especially after the big win in the last game, these Pacers fans on the scene are more confident in the prospects of the Pacers.

In today's game, the Pacers still maintained the starting lineup of the last game, and launched a tight defense against the Heat in the first quarter, perhaps because they have been practicing and adjusting in the past few days, compared to the last game, the Heat's number of mistakes has decreased a lot, but they still can't find a strategy to completely crack the Pacers' pressing, so after the game started, the Pacers took advantage of the court.

It can be seen from the Heat's lineup today, and the style of play on the court, Pat Riley still tried and changed, in order to reduce the number of times the ball was broken and was played fast, the Heat played very calmly today, and did not do dangerous passes and dangerous offenses at all, even Jason Williams, who likes to play tricks, seemed to be a different person today, put away those actions and passes that were designed to please the fans, and honestly played the floor flow.

However, the final result of the game proved that Pat Riley's change was futile, 78-93, and the Heat who were playing away lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain by 15 points.

After winning two games in a row, the Pacers also became the first team to get a match point in the two division finals, and one more win will see the Pacers reach the Finals again.
