Chapter 388 The Knight Who Wants to Chase Points
Amidst the voices of MVP all over the sky, Xu Xiang got up from the ground and walked to the free throw line.
Just now, Shumpert still held back his hand, and didn't directly knock him down.
There was no animosity between the two, it was purely a competition, Xu Xiang wanted to score and Shumpert wanted to stop it, there was no "life and death" between them.
Xu Xiang shot this ball very beautifully, very resolutely, without any sloppiness.
"3+1"!Perfect "3+1"!
note!
This is not in the regular season, this is in the Eastern Conference finals, Xu Xiang played a wave of "3+1", what is the concept?
Invincible explosive blood mother strong!
"If this posture continues to play, the Cavaliers will really have a hard time playing this game."
And it's not generally bad to fight.
Xu Xiang's hand feeling opened up, and no one dared to guarantee that he would win, even Ku Ritian, who is now in the limelight, dared not say it.
There are more than 2 minutes left in the second quarter.
The score was 47 to 52, and the point difference showed no sign of decreasing.
Even if James is already fully fired!
"No way! The Pacers are really going to win?"
"Unbelievable, the Pacers have a criminal record. They haven't lost a game in the playoffs so far!"
"Xu Xiang is so strong! Whoever says he is not the current No. [-] shooting guard, I will give him a slap in the face."
"." There were endless discussions inside and outside the court, some supported the Cavaliers, and some supported the Pacers.
Of course, from the background, the Pacers are still weaker, and James' personal ability is still too strong.
From the number of shots taken by Pickled Pepper in this game, you can see how well James played. It stands to reason that there are almost two quarters of the game. As one of the core players, it is not too much to have more than 8 shots, right?
But Pickled Pepper has only made three shots so far, including the one with Xu Xiang.
James' defense is too oppressive and aggressive.
But not taking shots does not mean that he is useless on the court. While reducing shots, he puts most of his energy on defense.
It's not that easy for the Pacers to win without restricting James.
In the last attack of the second quarter, the little prince Owen of the Cavaliers held the ball. Facing Xu Xiang's defense, he teleported a step, and chose to go left directly with a fake move!
Xu Xiang deliberately kept a little distance, paused, and immediately turned sideways to defend.
Irving calmly switched the ball from his left hand to his right, and was just about to pass the ball!
"Snapped!"
broken!
Xu Xiang broke the ball in the nick of time!
After the ball was broken, it did not go out of bounds, but went straight to the sidelines along this force!
Xu Xiang immediately accelerated!
Rush!
Everyone in the Pacers is also actively running, the team's counterattack opportunity!
The game time was delayed by this, and there was not much left. After Xu Xiang saved the ball, he happened to see Jokic in a quick counterattack. This guy was defending Frye on the outside just now. He didn't expect his feet to be so fast!
"Nikolai! Ball!"
Xu Xiang shouted, and at the same time threw the ball in his hand!
Leave you!
Jokic looked happy, the ball was fed to his mouth, so there is no reason why he couldn't make it!
No reason!
"Shh!"
Stopped the dribble in an emergency, and shot from the middle distance on the left side!
"Have it!"
The score was 54 to 62. At the end of the first half, the Pacers led by 8 points and went to rest.
From 5 points to 8 points does not seem like much, which is just a mere three points, but in fact, the Pacers can complete this matter after suppressing countless counterattacks of the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers are not teams like the Pistons, and they are not a little bit stronger in terms of toughness and ability.
You must know that even the Warriors, which won 73 victories this season, lost to the Cavaliers in the end. If you want to win them, you can't relax for a second!
In the Pacers locker room, Coach Nate held a brief meeting to discuss how to play in the second half.
"Limiting James is still the most important thing for us. PG, you did a good job in the first half, so let's play like this in the second half!" Coach Nate looked around and continued, "Xu, the task is to score! We need stronger firepower!"
"8 points are not enough, we need more!"
"My friends, the opportunity is here. If we can break through the barrier of Cleveland, it will be much easier to wait until the next roar of the Warriors!"
"The first match is crucial!!"
Coach Nate said passionately in the locker room.
Adjusting the mentality of the players is also what the head coach should do.
For the Cavaliers, James and Tyronn Lue are also discussing how to play. They don't want to fail in the first game. Their goal is always the final championship!
"Mr. Coach, what do you think needs to be done about the current backward situation?" The midfield reporter interviewed the head coach of the Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue.
"My players are doing well. The 8-point difference is not too much. We will make some changes in the second half." Tyronn Lue replied after thinking about it for a second.
"We saw that Xu's score of the Pacers is going to explode again. How do you think we can limit him?"
"Restrictions cannot be restricted. I should not be the only one answering your question. For us, we can only try our best to find a way. It is impossible to completely lock such a player!"
Xu Xiang scored 20+ points at halftime!
Wanting to get to 30 seems to have become very easy for him now.
At the start of the second half, Pickle was still on the court, but Xu Xiang went down to rest.
There is still half the game time, and if the point difference in this kind of game does not exceed 50 points, there will basically be no garbage time. He must fight the opponent until the last second.
And if he is not wrong, the Cavaliers will definitely strengthen their offensive in the third quarter, and they will definitely hope to make up the point difference in this quarter, so that everyone will be on the same starting line in the fourth quarter.
At that time, the Cavaliers were chasing points, while the Pacers were leading to behind, and there must be a gap in mentality.
Sure enough, as soon as the third quarter came up, Tyronn Lue put all the Big Three up!
"Wolf ambition" is clearly revealed!
They want to chase points, very much want to chase points!
The Cavaliers' offense was very fierce, one wave after another, without wasting any time at all, they would hit as soon as they got the ball, no matter if it was any one of the Big Three!
It was even harder than the first and second quarters!
A group of substitute players of the Pacers were almost beaten, and the intensity of the game increased again!
Seeing that the point difference is shrinking step by step, and Paojiao is struggling alone on stage, Coach Nate can only choose to replace Xu Xiang in advance, and stabilize the point difference first!
Others will be considered later.
