Chapter 241: Three Highs of Death

The next day's game came as scheduled, and this time, the Pacers, as the host, made a very bold attempt. McMillan set up a lineup that made the Pacers home fans stunned in this game.

There is still no surprise in the back line composed of George Hill and Eric Gordon, and the accident occurs on the front line. In order to ensure the height of the forward line in the Pacers' defensive system, he sent the starting three-man front line of Sadies Young, Turner and Linson.

"Hey! Is Nate kidding? This lineup? Are you going to get points?"

"Lin's rhythm is exhausted. I'm not sure whether Sadies and Miles can run, but facing the Rockets team, they definitely can't run. This is a solid three death high!"

The Rockets' starting lineup is still Beverly, Harden, Ariza, Anderson and Capela. As soon as this lineup looks, the Pacers' home fans feel guilty. The opponent's playing style, their three death highs will be restrained from the speed at the beginning!

There was no surprise at the beginning of the jump ball. Lin Sen had almost contracted every jump ball. The Pacers did not go to find Lin Sen as soon as possible. If each ball had to pass through Lin Sen's hands, there would be no need to play this game.

Hill faces Harden's defense, and Beverly naturally deals with Gordon, who has a stronger ball-holding ability from the outside. Harden is not very serious about Hill's defense. In his opinion, the player in front of him is not very good in breakthrough ability. Just keep a good eye on him and don't let him take three-pointers.

With a sudden acceleration, Hill directly forced his way through Harden in front of him. This old guy who had almost no special performance during the Pacers' winning streak showed his personal ability at this time. After this acceleration, it was almost flat. Lin Sen firmly pulled Capelaka behind him, and Hill easily made a layup.

The Rockets' defense is not outstanding, it can only be considered an average level. Their ability to play to this level is more due to the magic ball offense brought by D'Antoni and Harden's personal abilities.

Harden was directly found by kicking off the backcourt. Although Harden is still the position of the point guard, he actually performs more of the point guard style. This season he is already the number one player in the average assist list, and Beverly has become a 3D player more often.

Harden went through halftime with the ball and sought pick-and-roll. Howard, who used to cooperate with Harden, did not like to play pick-and-roll, and did not cooperate with Harden at all. For the Rockets, this is a combination of 11 less than 2.

This season, Capela was mentioned, and the cooperation between this rookie and Harden was even more passionate. The pick-and-roll was very solid, and Capela's lower back was also done well. Lin Sen's defense switch made Harden not obsessed with having to attack by himself, but found Capela very reasonably. The latter was very comfortable to eat cakes, and then completed an easy layup tie-up game against Hill and Turner who came to defend.

After seeing the Pacers' three-high lineup, the Rockets were very sure of their playing style, which was Harden's more cover, allowing Harden to decide whether he was single or pass the ball, and there were always many three-point shooters on the outside.

Another pick-and-roll, this time it was Anderson. Unlike Capela, Anderson obviously dismantled the outside line, and not just the three-point line. At a 45-degree angle, he was able to score with just one step away. Moreover, now in the away game, Anderson is a very strange player. His performance in the away game is far better than that at home.

This time, the first ball he took was half a step away from the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he made a hit directly. Hill's height, who had switched defense in front of him, had no choice but to do anything about this high-speed turret.

And not every time Harden passes the ball. In many cases, Harden will choose to attack by himself. Turner is the main target of Harden's attack. After he breaks in after pick-and-roll, he will take the initiative to find Turner for physical contact. Then, at some point, just raise his hand and touch it, even if the place is Indiana, the foul whistle is inevitable.

McMillan saw his face darkened off the court. The Warriors' Death Five Little Team was so angry that they could not get angry. They could directly win a team of more than ten points in a single quarter. Then they looked at their Death Three High Team and were chased by the opponent's defender. Even Lin Sen was inevitably hit two goals. McMillan frowned and did not realize his mistake very early. He did not start substitutions until 8 minutes.

This also led to Harden constantly attacking with the big man on the opposite side as a breakthrough point. Harden, a player who plays basketball has always saved time and effort. He can do whatever he wants. A 200-pound fat defender has to learn how to save his physical strength, so he played very hard, and the price was that he and Sadison Yang had fouls on his back. Well! Turner still had two fouls.

This data madman scored 14 points and 4 assists in the first quarter, scoring 14 points from 2 of 5 shots, including 6 free throws. Every free throw, the Banker Life Arena sounded in the sky, but these things were completely 0 effects for Harden. He would only say that these balls were steadily entering one by one.

35:24, the Pacers have not allowed the opponent's team to score 35 points in the first quarter, because the Pacers will not play fast in the first quarter, and the first quarter is also a quarter where the Pacers work hard on the defensive end.

"Guys! I have to admit that I was thinking too much in this game. There was a problem with my tactics. It's not that you played badly, but my fault. Fortunately, it's still the first quarter. I have enough time to correct my mistakes. Facing this Rockets, we can't be restrained by him. Lin, you have to attack in the inside and then ensure the success rate. You must never let the opponent advance the fast attack." McMillan has one advantage, that is, he has the courage to admit his mistakes. For example, in the first quarter, he admitted his mistakes very bluntly.
