But the Pacers' ability to take the lead tonight has something to do with Vogel. He positioned his team as a weak team, and from the beginning Vogel formulated a three-point bet tactic. In the few days of preparation, he also practiced the three-point shooting of outside players.
When the Pacers led by more than ten points with the help of referees and extraordinary outside shooting, Vogel was still a little excited. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Jun found the rhythm, they were immediately knocked back to their original shape.
The expression on the face of Bobcats head coach Brown is not relaxed. In any case, their team is still in a lagging position.
Under normal circumstances, if a team is behind in the score and then catches up to a score that has disappeared, the players who are chasing the score will often relax inexplicably, and the fatigue and physical exertion of chasing the score will also disappear. When you feel it all at once, your opponent will often hit you with a small attack.
Fortunately, when the Bobcats are chasing points, most of them use three-pointers. They do not press the opponent's shots from the whole court. The confrontation with the opponent is not too intense. If they just run back and forth on the court, The physical energy consumption of both parties is similar, thus avoiding the subsequent fatigue.
No matter what, a team that is 7 points behind is not worth celebrating. As an old-school rigorous academic coach, Brown¡¯s consistent principle is that he will never relax until the last minute whistle blows.
So he let this lineup continue to fight on the court. In order to prevent Jiang Jun from being overtired and avoid fouling, he also asked Henderson to use his speed to break through the opponent's inside line, preferably by knocking down Pacers center Hibbert.
Because Hibbert also committed three fouls, the same as Jiang Jun.
Although the Pacers lead today mainly because the three-pointer is too accurate, their two inside players are also good. Hibbert's defense and Hansbrough's offense are the elements that they rely on to lead.
The game continues.
When George serves the ball from the center line, his first instinct is to look for his defender Collison.
Collison looked back at Jiang Jun next to him. He was a little worried about Jiang Jun's steal just now, and he was also afraid. Because he really didn't expect Jiang Jun's explosive power to be so strong. In almost a blink of an eye, the ball fell into Jiang Jun's hands. The speed was so fast that Collison was still a little uneasy.
Jiang Jun did not press Collison, but kept a certain distance away from the opponent. This could prevent the referee from calling him a foul, but he could feel the opponent's lingering fear.
Just when Collison looked back at Jiang Jun, George passed the ball over. The ball was not fast. Jiang Jun keenly noticed Collison's trance. What a good opportunity!
Repeating his old trick, Jiang Jun once again used his lightning speed to get ahead of the opponent and confiscate the ball in an instant.
Collison woke up from a dream and hurried to grab it. Unexpectedly, the attack was in vain, and Jiang Jun had already left.
Because the other Pacers players returned to their frontcourt and Collison did not entangle Jiang Jun, Jiang Jun once again faced an empty basket.
Although Collison did not pounce on the ball, he was still chasing after Jiang Jun.
Under such circumstances, if Jiang Jun tries to shoot a three-pointer like before, he is likely to be interfered by Collison or fouled.
Jiang Jun thought for a moment and did not stop at the three-point line, but continued to accelerate forward.
Soon after, Jiang Jun reached the basket like the wind, soared into the air, and dunked with both hands!
From stealing to rushing to blocking the dunk, Jiang Jun only took less than two seconds.
Collison couldn¡¯t catch up with the foul and watched Jiang Jun score these two points.
Vogel was so angry that he arranged for his players to guard against Jiang Jun. However, this round was not an attack by the Bobcats, but an opportunity created by Jiang Jun's steal. The Pacers players had almost no time to react.
So we had no choice but to watch the score being chased to 73 to 78, with the point difference only being 5 points.
Jiang Jun played for just two minutes in the second half of the third quarter and led the team in an 11-2 scoring frenzy. He also scored 8 points, with a total of 32 points, plus 11 assists. Transcript.
Barkley burst into laughter and asked Miller seriously: "Reggie, do you still think the decisive factor in the game is the team? No, sometimes the game is for one person! Not for five people!"
"When Miller saw the Pacers being chased for points, he was so anxious that he was too lazy to pay attention to this guy." The girl said: "Let's see how the Pacers will respond next!"
"Can you concentrate?" Seeing his teammates being intercepted by Jiang Jun twice in a row, Granger couldn't help but run.?In front of Collison, he shouted a scolding.
As a former potential star, Granger, who has not been very popular in recent years as a news of the Pacers, has always been considered to be a player who cannot reach the level of a superstar. Granger attaches great importance to this year's playoffs. , this is his first time playing in the playoffs.
Although he is only the eighth player in the playoffs, he is still very confident. Because the Bobcats don't have much playoff experience either.
He hopes that he can lead the team to at least enter the second round of the playoffs and shatter the eyes of those who underestimate him.
So he held back his energy today and felt very good. He has scored 20 points so far. He was expected to win the Bobcats and create an upset. Unexpectedly, the opponent fought back after falling behind by a big score. So far, he has only scored 20 points. 5 points behind.
In this case, the situation is a bit worse. After all, the opponent has the best record in the league, and it is playing at home. Once it returns to form, it is very likely that it will be unstoppable.
Collison was only a sophomore and did not dare to contradict the core of the team, so he had to lower his head and say nothing.
Hansbrough had a better relationship with Collison. He waved to his teammates and said: "Darren, and Paul, if you pass the ball, stay away from Jiang. He is too fast. . Let¡¯s not complain, we must knock down their momentum.¡±
The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the game should continue. Granger didn't want to get angry anymore and quickly started running.
George learned the lesson this time. He waited until Collison ran up to him and was several meters away from Jiang Jun, and then he quickly handed the ball to Collison hand-in-hand.
Collison reached the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball to Granger before Jiang Jun could get into position.
Carroll defended Granger, but he was at a disadvantage in terms of height and strength. When Granger relied on hitting, he had no choice but to foul.
Granjef missed the first free throw but made the second free throw.
The score reached 79 to 73 again, slightly wider.
Jiang Jun dribbled the ball, George and Collison stepped forward to press, Granger was also watching eagerly from the side, Jiang Jun smiled lightly, passed the ball to Henderson, and ran to the three-point line.
Henderson is also very fast. He takes advantage of the gap and accelerates to break through inside. Several of the Pacers' outside players had no choice but to shrink back and no longer bothered to keep an eye on Jiang Jun.
According to Old Brown's plan, Henderson could break through to the inside and then cause fouls on the opponent's inside players. However, when Henderson saw the tall and strong Hibbert rushing towards him, he really had no confidence. During the high-speed breakthrough, he He suddenly slowed down, then turned around in the air and threw to the outside.
Jiang Jun just ran into position, caught the ball and shot from outside the three-point line, and the ball still went in!
This tactic has been practiced by the Bobcats on a regular basis. Jiang Jun, Jackson, Budinger, Carroll and other three-pointers have fixed positions. Henderson passed the ball well and Jiang Jun scored beautifully.
76 to 79!
There are still the last 20 seconds. The Pacers still passed the ball to Granger for a single. Granger controlled the rhythm and did not take action until the last moment. But Brown stepped forward to double-team with Carroll, and Granger took a hasty shot and missed.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers entered the fourth quarter with a 3-point lead.
In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming and Jackson returned to the court. Although this quarter lasted less than 3 minutes, Granger hit two three-pointers. But Jiang Jun found a way to avoid fouls, that is, not to contact the opponent. As long as Jiang Jun is on the court, chasing points will not be a problem. Jiang Jun hit two two-pointers and one three-pointer, expanding his score to 39 points.
Jiang Jun¡¯s other teammates finally showed their strength. After half the fourth quarter, Yao Ming dunked successfully, forcing Hibbert to take five fouls and be forced to take a rest.
After Yao Ming made the extra free throw, the Bobcats led by 2 points and took the first lead of the game.
Then Jackson and Budinger hit three-pointers to continue to expand the lead. The Pacers' substitutes did not show weakness. After aj? Price and Josh? McRoberts each scored a goal, the Pacers chased the score to 93 to 95.
At this time, Jiang Jun once again made a long shot from outside the three-point line. Granger, who was misplaced to defend, tried his best to defend and hit Jiang Jun's arm. The referee finally called a foul against Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun naturally regretted his only three bad times. He made three of three shots and his personal score was already 42 points.
The score between the two sides was 98 to 93, with the Bobcats leading by 5 points.
?Then the Pacers youngster Hansbrough hit the target. He hit two consecutive shots within 24 seconds, and the Pacers got closer again.
After the Bobcats called a timeout, Jackson hit a three-pointer, and then Jiang Jun made a steal. Thomas passed the ball and dunked directly, causing Hansbrough to foul.
TrustAfter Masf hit, the Bobcats finally widened the point difference to 7 points in the last minute. Although the Pacers finally adopted foul tactics, they could no longer restore the defeat.
The Bobcats worked hard and finally successfully reversed their opponent. They defeated the Pacers 108-101 at home and won their first playoff victory this year. It was also the first playoff victory in the history of the Bobcats.
Although the Pacers showed their "black eight" appearance today and once led by 14 points, unfortunately under Jiang Jun's pressure, they fell short in the end.
