Cousins ​​played very well, and the Pelicans' offense was very stable. Originally, Solomon Hill was used as a 3D by the Pelicans. Solomon Hill's three-point skill package has not known where this one has been thrown away, probably because he left the familiar banker's life stadium.

But tonight, he was very familiar with this stadium. He played the current big contract here. Here, his feel finally began to recover. While McMillan was still hesitating whether to continue to put this lineup on the court, Solomon Hill, the Pacers' old player, began to kill the old master.

The bottom corner three-pointer directly hit the Pelicans' third three-pointer in the second quarter, with 3 three-pointers in 3 minutes! This is still the Pelicans whose three-point shooting percentage can only be ranked in the middle of the league? You said that the Warriors are playing against themselves, and the Pacers will believe it.

The inside could not defend, so that there would always be gaps outside the three-point line, which was very uncomfortable for the Pacers. The Pelicans' three-point ability was not strong, mainly because they relied on Moore and Holiday who was paying attention to the weather that day. Other players would not make many three-pointers, at most, Dalius Miller, who often substituted small forwards.

But now, Solomon Hill has also stood up. This three-pointer made the Pacers fans shake their heads in depressed mood. If you don’t know how to hit others, you want to be Durant when you meet your old club?

"Solomon is really a guy who hates the Pacers fans!" O'Neal smiled and looked at the Pacers players who booed the whole audience. Now they are so depressed.

With this three-pointer, McMillan finally made up his mind to let Lin Sen continue to play. By the way, he replaced all the people on the court and strengthened the defense. Now is the time when the Pelicans feel hot. As a defensive team, they now have to rely on defense to win the game.

Linson, Grant, Sadies Young, Oladipo, CJ Myers, it can be said that the five people presented now are definitely the Pacers' strongest lineup for defense. Not to mention the offense on that side, just look at the defense is definitely powerful.

"Lin is really busy. He just solved Anthony and has to face DeMarcus again. How tired he is." Barkley joked, but this talked to the hearts of Pacers fans. Linson had just played a fierce battle with Davis for 4 minutes and was about to defend Cousins ​​again. Linson has a substitute player who can implement the assisted defense to the end. Turner is undoubtedly a good addition.

But similarly, Lin Sen also needs a meat shield center to help him hit the penalty area on the defensive end. The defense is a very physically exhausting job. Lin Sen is not a very strong center. Even now, physical confrontation is a disadvantage in the top center. Too much confrontation on the defensive end will affect Lin Sen's feel on the offensive end.

But there is no way. Turner is not good now, Lin Sen can only take it. Cousins' upper limb strength is his huge advantage. Turner is not good, Lin Sen is also a bit in trouble. Even the best defensive player will have shortcomings in some aspects. This is not defensive skills but limited body shape.

Cousins' left arm pressed against Lin Sen's chest and squeezed out the space. There was no way to do this. Lin Sen was often pushed open when defending Valanciulos, but being pushed open did not mean that Cousins ​​could take action. Lin Sen's explosive power was too strong. When he was pushed open, he quickly returned to the position as soon as possible without letting Cousins ​​take action.

The defense was very beautiful. At least in this round, Cousins ​​failed to succeed in the offense. Pacers fans immediately forgot what they were still worried about just now, and all stood up to cheer for Lin Sen's performance, but McMillan frowned. Because he had set the double-team at the beginning, it was not the rhythm that the Pacers should play in the defensive lineup. Lin Sen would consume a lot of money when he fought against Cousins ​​alone.

Back at the opposite half, Davis also came back, and he was the one who defended Lin Sen. This time, after a period of calm down on the court, Davis finally showed his defensive ability comparable to the best defensive player. Lin Sen's footsteps were blocked and he could only try to use hooks to solve the problem at mid-range.

The moment he took the shot, Lin Sen clearly felt that the ball was shorter, and his arm was not fully used, and the basketball hit the front and did not hit. With Cousins ​​and Davis in the inside, Lin Sen had no idea of ​​grabbing offensive rebounds, so he quickly retreated.

However, the Pelicans were not anxious at all and slowly started a positional battle. Rondo used pick-and-roll to pull Lin Sen to open the penalty area again. This was not in the Bulls. In last year's playoffs, the Pacers beat the Bulls three and refused to shoot. Rondo played very poorly. One of the things was that they did not cooperate enough with their teammates. When the Pelicans were more ball-powered, he let the two insides play a good cooperation.

When Lin Sen pulled to the high position, he sent a very beautiful pass to the inside. Davis received the pass in the air and it was an air bomb! After getting off the basket, he even raised his arms and roared, venting all the depression he had just suppressed by Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at Davis who kept yelling behind him, rolled his eyes helplessly: "Brother, why are you yelling at the air? I'm outside."

Lin Sen doesn't think he lost, but when he really fights, he really can't beat four-handed hands. On the defensive end, he is constantly consumed by Cousins, and even McMillan dares to replace him. On the offensive end, Davis's defense makes Lin Sen's attack difficult every time. Friend Cousins ​​is eyeing him, which makes Lin Sen keep giving the ball to the outside. But now the Pacers are getting a defensive lineup, and Grant's three-pointer is usually average. Today, he seems to have exchanged his shooting bag by Solomon Hill on the opposite side. As soon as he comes, he handed over a 0-for-4 shot.

The advantage in the first quarter was completely retaliated by Cousins' strong attack from the second quarter and the Pelicans' double tower rhythm behind him for 6 minutes. As for the next 6 minutes, it was the rhythm of the Pelicans continuing to play the score.
