king of defenders

Chapter 593
On this side, Meng Yun and George exploded each other, almost inextricably killing each other, and on the other side, Wade had already suppressed Ellis at a disadvantage. The duel between the four had a tilt in the outcome because of Wade.

And this tilt of victory and defeat has affected the two teams.

So after more than seven minutes in the third quarter, the Heat gradually built up their advantage and opened up the point gap a little bit.The speed of the expansion of the point difference is not fast, but it is very stable. Before you know it, the Heat have already led by 9 points.

Seeing the situation was wrong, the head coach of the Pacers had to call a timeout again.

He called a timeout 3 minutes ago and made some adjustments, but the effect was almost ineffective. Although George still played well and Ellis also scored, the point difference just couldn't catch up.Not only can't catch up, but it is still expanding. Although the speed is very slow, this feeling of blunt knife grinding flesh is even more uncomfortable.

"Substitution." The Pacers coach first made a substitution, then spread out the tactical board and rearranged the tactics.

However, when the timeout came back, the situation did not improve much. What made the head coach of the Pacers even more troublesome was that the Heat's substitute lineup broke out with surprising combat effectiveness.

Under the leadership of Dragic, the Heat's bench lineup completely suppressed the Pacers' bench lineup, and it was completely one-sided.

That is to say, the scoring ability of the Heat's bench lineup is not particularly strong. Only Dragic stands out a little bit, and the others are mediocre, not good. Some goals that should be scored are not even scored, otherwise the point difference will bigger.

But this is the case, when the third quarter ended, the Heat had already led by as much as 17 points.

The Pacers players hung their heads one by one.

Coach Frank Vogel had a dark face and was angry in his heart, but in the end he suppressed it and said in the calmest voice possible: "It's okay, there is still the fourth quarter." He looked at George without saying a word , but the eyes have already expressed everything, which means that the fourth quarter is up to you.

George nodded, but said nothing.

For the Heat, the atmosphere is more relaxed.

Dragic was surrounded by everyone. He played very well in the last few minutes of the third quarter, even exceeding everyone's expectations. If it weren't for his outstanding performance, the point difference would not be so big.

"It's nothing, I just did what I should do, and I am also eager to win." Dragic said calmly, but his heart was not peaceful.

When was the last time you played in the playoffs?
It seems to be the 09-10 season, and it has been 6 years in a blink of an eye.

Came to Miami from Phoenix, bid farewell to the Suns and came to the Heat. Dragic remembers it very clearly. At that time, he told himself that he must make the playoffs again. With Bosh and himself, I believe he will be able to reach the playoffs.

Although many things that happened later were different from Dragic's expectations, they failed to make the playoffs last season, and although they made it to the playoffs this season, he changed from the main force to the substitute, Frankly speaking, he doesn't like playing on the bench at all, but this does not prevent him from being enthusiastic about the playoffs.

When it came to the stage of the playoffs, Dragic told himself that no matter how reluctant he was to play as a substitute, this is the first time he has entered the playoffs in 6 years, and he must do his best and show his best. s level.

He did it.

In three quarters, Dragic scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

"Huh?" Dragic suddenly felt something, raised his head, and met the eyes of Meng Yun and Wade. The three looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Although Meng Yun took away Dragic's starting position and turned him into a substitute, even though he doesn't like to play as a substitute at all, he believes that his strength should definitely start, and even sometimes it is uncomfortable to see Meng Yun, But this look made him understand that at least now their goal is the same, which is to defeat the Pacers and go on the stage of the playoffs.

Spoelstra beckoned, and everyone gathered together. Spoelstra spread out the tactical board and began to arrange tactics.

The fourth quarter began soon, and the Pacers changed their formation. They sent a rotation, but Ellis, the main force, was once again sent to the rotation.

However, this has received unexpected results. Originally, the Heat had Dragic, and the Pacers had difficulty finding players who could compete with him, but now with Ellis, the two are facing each other.

For a while, the two sides were inseparable.

"It's still 13 points away." Coach Frank Vogel glanced at the scoreboard and began to make substitutions, sending both George and Hill up.

"I was chased for a few points." Spoelstra frowned, and also made a substitution, replacing Meng Yun and Wade, "Meng Yun, you still defend George."

Meng Yun agreed and walked onto the court with Wade hand in hand.

More than four minutes have been played in the fourth quarter, and the point difference is 13 points, which is not an unattainable score, so the Pacers are about to launch a final counterattack.

"ball."

George asked for the ball, glanced at Meng Yun, without hesitation, decisively played singles, accelerated his breakthrough after a tentative step, overwhelmed a golden rooster independent within the free throw line.

Raise your hand, shake your wrist, and the ball goes in.

George is still stable, and his scoring ability is beyond doubt. When the team needs him, he can always stand up and score to help the team stabilize the situation.

Here, Meng Yun came to the front court, and Hill rushed forward.

At the same time, George also rushed forward, and the two quickly surrounded Meng Yun. The referee blew the whistle, but Meng Yun didn't hear the referee's whistle this time.

"What should I do?" Meng Yun was anxious.

Suddenly, with a snap, Meng Yun felt a pain in the back of his hand. He patted his hand with one hand, and then directly slapped the basketball off. Meng Yun hurriedly looked for the ball, but it was already too late.

It was Hill who took the ball off him, and George's reaction was quick, and he cooperated with Hill just right. When Hill took the ball off, George immediately rushed out to catch the basketball, and then rushed to the Heat half court.

"Damn it." Meng Yun cursed secretly, and wanted to turn around to pursue but was entangled by Hill.

Originally, it was too late to chase at Meng Yun's speed. Although it might not be able to prevent George from scoring, at least he had a chance, but he was entangled by Hill.

Ahead, George stepped into the penalty area, hugged the ball and turned around for a 360-degree dunk. After landing, he hammered his chest, as if to say that the horn of our counterattack has sounded.

"Meng still lacks experience." Rostern sighed: "He suffered from experience this time, and he was a little flustered in the face of Hill and George's double-team. Later, he was entangled by Hill after being intercepted. This is After experience, Hill just wants to entangle Meng Yun, anyway, they were all entangled when they double-teamed before. The referee can't blow the whistle, and George can easily complete the fast break."
