Chapter 151 Artest: Am I being laughed at?
The competition for the first place in the East and West has entered into a fierce battle from the very beginning of the game.
The fans saw Carter's desperate rush to the Pacers' inside line, saw Artest's strong defensive awareness, and also saw Zhang You's violent shark dunk.
The Pacers are not a soft persimmon. They are murderous in this game, and at the same time they have the home court advantage by waiting for work.
After Zhang You scored, the Pacers controlled Tinsley to advance steadily with the ball.
As the No. [-] main point guard in the East, Tinsley, a late bloomer, is also getting more sophisticated in his play.
Born in 1978, he entered the league late, and the Pacers relied on him to organize the offense in an orderly manner.
Don't look at his stats of 10+6 this season, but some games are not reflected in the stats, just like Battier.
His three-point shooting rate is also 37%, which can help the team at critical times.
After cooperating hand-in-hand with his teammates, Tinsley made a time difference and made a decisive three-pointer when Tyronn Lue's defense was insufficient.
The Pacers told the Warriors with a strong three-pointer that it is not that simple for the No. [-] in the West to come to their home court to win.
After the offensive and defensive transition, Lu handed the ball to Zhang You in the frontcourt.
It seems that Jermaine O'Neal will be the one defending Zhang You tonight.
O'Neal has grown into the Pacers' head star this season, and his 20+10 data has become the league's All-Star insider.
What sparks will the collision of two All-Star insiders produce?
O'Neal also has a height of 2 meters, excellent athletic ability and soft touch.
When Zhang You was in control of the ball, he found that O'Neal's defensive awareness was also very good.
It is indeed the All-Star insider in the East!
After a change in the rhythm of dribbling, Zhang You suddenly pulled up from the three-point line and made a golden chicken independent shot!
Jermaine O'Neal quickly took off to interfere!
Now, no one dared to miss Zhang You's shot!
The arc of this ball is too high!
"He can't make this shot, rebound!"
O'Neal himself turned around and blocked Zhang You's position to prevent him from rushing for rebounds.
but……
This super-high-arc golden rooster's independent three-pointer hit the board head-on!
All Pacers fans sighed in unison.
"FK!! If the goal is not defended, he may not be able to score."
Coach Carlisle clapped his hands to encourage the players.
"Good defense, Jermaine, that's it."
Zhang You made a demoralizing three-pointer, and the Pacers were not frustrated.
Coach Carlisle's thinking is clear.
So what if Zhang You scored alone.
His difficult scoring, as long as he can't bring other teammates, this kind of reluctant scoring is not a routine method after all.
Coach Carlisle's eyes widened.
"Disrupt the overall offensive rhythm of the Warriors! That's it."
After the offensive and defensive transition, the Pacers also played a smooth pick-and-roll cooperation.
O'Neal catches the ball in the low post and turns.
After Zhang You reacted, he rushed over!
Jermaine O'Neal took a fadeaway shot and cleared the net neatly!
As No.3 on this season's MVP list, O'Neal is also known as the "offensive kaleidoscope".
His shooting is accurate, and a big man with a flexible footwork above 2 meters is also rare.
"Haha, is this a matchup between two talented high school players? Jr. O'Neal wants to prove in front of Zhang You that it's not accidental that I can bring the Pacers to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference!"
Director Zhang of the sports channel excitedly watched the wonderful match between the two young rising stars.
O'Neal, who was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 1996th overall pick in the first round in 1, has now grown into an All-Star player in the Pacers.
The leader of the 96 generation is now facing No.03 in 1. Looking at it now, the contest between the two has just begun!
Compared with Zhang You's one-step success, Jermaine O'Neal has grown into the current super insider after years of ups and downs in the league.
If there is no injury impact, he may have achieved higher achievements.
"Run! Run!"
As the game progressed, the collision between the two sides became more and more intense.
The coaches of both sides yelled at the bench to remind the players of their offensive and defensive positions.
The two teams seem to regard this game as the finals.
The Pacers have home court advantage and a physical advantage to shoot more accurately than the Warriors tonight.
In the first quarter, apart from Zhang You shooting a three-pointer from the outside, Richardson and others did not make an open three-pointer.
Carter stood up.
His frequent attacks on the inside also made the whistle keep ringing.
The Pacers' touch in the first quarter was good.
Reggie Miller flicked Richardson off the pick-and-roll.
Grab a little space.
His shot from the corner was accurate and steady.
"brush!"
Reggie Miller, who completed a three-pointer at the buzzer, smiled at Richardson with his white teeth.
This made Richardson, who was in poor form tonight, look extremely dark.
Reggie Miller is still making 40 percent of his [-]-pointers this season.
Maybe in the twilight years of his career, he might really be able to win the championship with this group of young people.
20 is better than 23
A [-]-pointer at the buzzer gave the Pacers a three-point lead in the first quarter.
"Listen, we can't give Zhang You one to five for every ball!"
During the intermission, Coach Musselman emphasized again.
Zhang You also tried to play for his teammates many times in the first quarter, but the away trip and the last game of the regular season made the Warriors players a little tired.
In the second quarter, Zhang You strengthened the inside attack!
Since the teammates don't feel good, it's up to him to use breakthroughs to open up the situation.
The Pacers have long been arranged.
When Zhang You rushed inside.
Artest rushed towards Zhang You!
When Zhang You jumped into the paint, the muscular man Artest wanted to use the trick he used against Carter to snatch it from Zhang You! !
"Oh!"
Zhang You leaned hard, causing Iron Warrior Artest to stagger and fall to the ground in an instant.
With a roar, it was a powerful one-handed snap.
In this ball, Zhang You showed his toughness to the fullest.
Artest, who got up, was so angry that he bumped his chest with Zhang You on the spot.
Are we going to fight?
In the eyes of the fans in disbelief.
Zhang You, who found Artest rushing over, collided with him head-on.
The result was the same as the bumper car, Artest was hit in the chest by Zhang You.
Knocked down to the ground again.
"hiss!!"
Everyone took a deep breath.
Artest is the king of power in the Pacers.
Even Jr. O'Neal is not as powerful as him.
Only by this contrast did Zhang You realize the horror of his strength.
Zhang You stared at Artest.
Artest bounced off the ground again to express his stubbornness, but fortunately, the referee rushed to give Artest a step.
"Let me go, don't stop me, he elbowed me on offense! That's an offensive foul!"
Artest complained to the referee.
Tonight's referee was also good-tempered and "deadly" caught Artest.
Artest saw that he was being held tightly by the referee, so forget it.
Otherwise, the kid Zhang You couldn't stand his fist.
The referee smiled.
Come on, let me give you a step and go down quickly.
Zhang You even turned Ma Long's elbow, so save yourself and save yourself some face.
Seeing Zhang You also smiled at himself.
Artest's heart tightened, and his brain became hot.
He is laughing at me?He is laughing at me!
