Chapter 589 Unstoppable George

Snapped!
With a soft sound, taking advantage of the moment Ellis was in a daze, Meng Yun stretched out his hand, slapped the basketball off, and then jumped over Ellis to catch the basketball. Meng Yun ran towards the Pacers at full speed. .

Feeling empty-handed, Ellis quickly turned around and chased, but he started slower than Meng Yun. When he turned around and chased, Meng Yun's speed had already increased, and Ellis stopped after two or three steps.

Because I can't catch up.

After reaching the frontcourt, Meng Yunfei jumped up, grabbed the basketball with his right hand and swung it in the air, drawing a large arc.

"Bang!"

It's a windmill slam dunk.

Ellis' eyes were burning and he glared at Meng Yun angrily. He asked for the ball when Hill took the ball across the center line. Hill hesitated and passed the ball to Ellis. Ellis hit Meng Yun single-handedly. Try to break through.This time he was more careful, but it turned out that it was difficult to pass Meng Yun, who was faster than him and had good consciousness.

"I can't pass him." Ellis was annoyed, and decided to solve the problem with a shot. He faked a breakthrough, then stepped back and shot a jumper, and added a fadeaway.

But Meng Yun's bullet speed is very fast, and with his height and long arms, although he can't reach the basketball, it blocks a large space and interferes a lot with Ellis.

It wasn't a good shot, but Ellis couldn't care less.

boom!
strike iron.

The Heat got the ball, Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt and passed it to Wade, the others pulled away, and Wade singled Ellis again.

Of course, the Pacers players are not fools. They will not give Wade the chance to single-play Ellis again and again. When Wade wants to single-play, someone will step forward to help defend.And once someone goes up to help defend, it means that the defense is tilted to one side, and the defense on the other side will become weak, which gives the Heat a chance.

Wade passed the ball, Meng Yun took the ball and broke through, attracting the defense, while holding the opponent's defender on this side, and then quickly distributed the ball to the other side.

Green received the ball and made a three-pointer from the corner.

In a blink of an eye, a few minutes passed.

After 5 minutes in the first quarter, the Heat led by 5 points. The head coach of the Pacers asked for a timeout. He shook his head and made a substitution: "Ellis, you come down to rest. Stuckey, wait for you to go up. "

Ellis sat down on the bench silently, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"That Chinese kid is annoying, isn't he?" Turner leaned over.

"It's very annoying." Ellis said. Although he was singled out by Wade several times in the past few minutes, it was clearly targeted, but speaking of it, he actually hated Meng Yun even more.

Ellis himself knows that the defense is weak, but he is confident that he will recover the points lost on the defensive end, but because of Meng Yun, he has no achievements on the offensive end, and he has not been able to score a single goal. Meng Yun couldn't break through, and Meng Yun was tall and long, his arms were long, and his bounce was fast, which caused a lot of interference. He tried two and failed to make a shot.

After a few minutes, Ellis became the team's weak point on the defensive end, and he failed to provide the team with any scoring output on the offensive end. If George hadn't played well, the point difference would have been more than 5 points .

"I hate that Chinese kid too." Turner glanced at the Heat dugout and said to Ellis, "I'll avenge you later."

Ellis was noncommittal, not because he thought Turner was joking, but because he doubted whether Turner had the strength. Although Ellis hated Meng Yun, he still recognized Meng Yun's strength.

The pause ends soon.

Ellis was replaced and Stuckey was replaced. Wade did not continue to play singles. The Hot Club returned to the regular offensive rhythm. Meng Yun not only organized the offense, but also strengthened his personal scoring.

But this is the playoffs after all, Meng Yun can clearly feel that the defensive intensity is much greater than the regular season, not because of the change of people, but the change of defensive attitude.

Now the Pacers' defensive enthusiasm, aggressiveness, and regular season are two concepts.

At the end of the first quarter, Meng Yun, Wade and others were replaced one after another and replaced by substitute players.

Meng Yun found that Dragic played better in the playoffs than in the regular season, but he understood after thinking about it carefully.In the playoffs, others did not play well. For example, Johnson, although he joined the Heat last season, but the Heat failed to make the playoffs last season, so he played in the playoffs for the first time. His body The quality is average, relying on skills, but in the intensity of the playoffs, it was exhausted.

And Dragic has played in the playoffs, and after all, he has played for so many years, and his strength is stronger than others, so his performance at this time is even more brilliant.

When the first quarter ended, the Heat led by 30 points at 24:6.

Entering the second quarter, Dragic felt cold, and the Pacers sent Ellis on. Without Meng Yun's restrictions, Ellis' talent on the scoring end was brought into play, leading the Pacers to quickly close the score.

At this time, Spoelstra made a substitution, replacing main players such as Meng Yun and Wade one after another, and the Pacers followed suit, replacing the main players one after another.

The main force came back, and the Heat gradually stabilized the situation.

But at this moment, George broke out.

In the 6th minute of the second quarter, George took the ball from outside the three-point line, and a fake move of changing direction forced Green to take a step back subconsciously, while George directly made a three-pointer, the basketball drew an arc, and finally swished A sound pierced the net.

A few rounds later, George received a pass from his teammate, feinted, then sped up to pass Green, got inside, jumped up, and folded in the air.

beep!
Swish!
The referee blew his whistle, signaling a defensive foul, and the basketball went into the net in response.

This is a 2+1. Whiteside looked up at the big screen annoyed. It was indeed a foul, but George could still score when he was completely out of balance, which is a bit incredible.

George went to the free throw line and made an extra free throw.

There were boos in the auditorium, but George was not disturbed, and his outburst continued
"boom!"

The Pacers Hill shot and hit the iron, the basketball bounced high, Whiteside and Marcin Mitch jumped up, stretching their arms to get the rebound.

Just then, an arm bursts out of the air, grabs the basketball before them, and slams it into the hoop, with the arm hanging on the rim, knocking Whiteside and Mahinmi away.

It's George again!

The audience exclaimed, George actually overwhelmed Whiteside and Mahinmi, and succeeded in dunking on their heads. The domineering made the fans feel trembling.

When this goal was scored, the second quarter was almost over, and the Pacers finally overtook the score.

In fact, the score between the two sides has been anxious and never opened up too much. Only relying on the performance of Wade and Meng Yun, the Heat have always maintained their lead, but this time they were overtaken by the Pacers.
