Chapter 528: Being targeted by the situation on the field

"It's okay, guys, the last few minutes made me see your ambition to win! Keep it well, don't pay it back in the second half." McMillan did not get angry because he was 8 points behind at home in the first half.

There are many reasons for the current backwardness because of himself. He did not formulate relevant tactics at the beginning. He suddenly changed his playing style when facing the opponent. He did not make any adjustments. It was not until the middle of the second quarter that he thought of letting Collison go up to control the rhythm of the game. If they were long in the morning, they would not be behind.

Of course, the Pacers are good because they are strong enough. When they were lagging behind at the beginning, their overall lineup advantage dragged down the pace of the overall game, so that the opponent did not take too fast and lead too much.

After changing his playing style, there was no tactical disadvantage. The players' condition obviously allowed them to play better basketball and recover the score. This is something that many people are envious. The team gave him countless room to make mistakes to try.

When he returned to the game in the second half, after Collison's control was over, he did not play in the second half. It was very simple, with a problem with defense. Now it is time for the Pacers to quickly chase points, and he is still not very suitable for being there.

Especially when the first half was about to end, he was dizzy when two consecutive backs against him. Even if he was asked to defend Redick, he was still hit by Redick by a three-pointer face to face.

However, at this time, the Pacers had already understood how to control the field. Oladipo just played the second position and saw clearly how Collison was playing. In the future, he will appear more in the point guard position. Gordon will become the team's sixth man, and the number two he will be paired with him will be a super ending point like CJ Myers and Bogdanovic.

Now he performed well after he came on the court, playing very well. As soon as he got up, he completed an assist, and Lin Sen, who received the ball, was the pick-and-roll. After cutting at the empty space, he received the ball and completed the jump shot at mid-range.

After Oladipo's three-pointer level rose, his and Linson's lethality in pick-and-roll may be stronger than the double pick-and-roll of George and Linson last year. After all, in terms of mid-range and acceleration impact, Oladipo is even stronger than George, who is only a small forward in the league's center level.

"The 76ers seem to be going back again. After they changed their playing style, they were resolved by Nate McMillan on the spot. Although the resolution was not fast or outstanding, it was a bit difficult for the 76ers to maintain this advantage now." O'Neal understood the pace of the Pacers. In many games, they always slowed down and found an opportunity, and they killed the final victory with one blow.

"There are also gaps in substitutes. They can compete with the Pacers' forward group on the front line. Only Sharic and Covington, plus Belinelli, the substitute. Just so, Sharic and Belinelli are both players who are not very good at defense."

As soon as Gallinari finished speaking, he ran out of the open space. Lin Sen, the teammate whom Gallinari considered the strongest combination in the inside, was the key figure in passing this pass.

The empty cut to the inside directly led to the double-team of everyone on the opposite side, and Lin Sen immediately transferred the ball to the outside line after receiving the ball. This was similar to the pick-and-roll that Oladipo had just played, but this time they chose to firmly block Lin Sen.

Originally, the entire operation of the 76ers had reached the extreme, and they had already paid attention to the rotation when they were double-teaming.

But I didn't expect Lin Sen's pass was so fast, and Gallinari was so smart to play. When he saw the opponent's attack, he started running and received Lin Sen's pass.

The Pacers returned to their usual familiar attacks, Lin Sen was the axis to stimulate the outside shooter, using their personal abilities to attack or pass.

But even so, the Pacers didn't catch the score back very quickly, because the 76ers also made a good offense in the second half.

Brown expected from the beginning that they might not be able to defend against the Pacers' counterattack in the second half. Instead of letting the opponent play their own rhythm in this game, it would be better to play against them.

So they simply played on two front lines that were not good at defense, but these two attacks were very powerful. The three-pointers of both of them felt very good, and they were very good as the finishing point.

Lin Sen completed the promise to Simmons in the first half very well. He terminated Simmons' performance. In the second half, Simmons basically stayed away from the penalty area, and this old man's scoring ability after he was away from the penalty area was basically 0.

The consequence of over-attention to Simmons is that Lin Sen rarely defends himself, which instead makes the two white high-speed turrets on the opposite side feel the touch.

Lin Sen was also very depressed because Embiid had to defend in the penalty area, Simmons had to defend in the inside, and when the 76ers were attacking, he had to defend. He was just the best defensive player and did not know how to clone the skills. What's more, his role is very important now on the offensive end.

Both sides fought continuously, and they were all three-pointers. The success rate of the opponent was almost the same. Therefore, in the positional battle, they were obviously two excellent centers, but they were not playing in the inside.

The only advantage is that all five Pacers can shoot, and for the 76ers, Simmons can stand near the three-point line or even the free throw line to get the ball, and everyone else can defend him from helping his teammates fill the spot.

"Ben's three-point ability is really a bit urgent. Is he really a defender? Such three-point ability is easy to be targeted in the playoffs!"

"What does it mean to be targeted easily? You are targeted now!"

It is normal for O'Neal and Barkley to have no three-point ability. They are originally playing in the inside line, and their inside players do not play outside with the ball. They are just the purest ending points. However, although Simmons is also very high, his playing style is completely different. When he holds the ball without lethality on the outside, it is difficult to get the attention of his opponent.

The third quarter was a three-pointer battle, but Simmons, a core player with 76ers, made two shots in the inside line, one missed, and was directly slapped by Lin Sen. A total of 15 people were rotated in the game, and everyone hit a three-pointer, but each of them made at least three-pointer, and only Simmons did not make a three-pointer at one time.

As he played, Brown found something was wrong and scored three-pointers with the Pacers. Isn’t this automatically locked up one of his own outside cores?

The score was approaching, but after the third quarter, Lin Sen even laughed even more. He originally planned to target Simmons below, but he didn't expect to beat him away.
