Chapter 105 Wang Cannon's counterattack!
After the discomfort in the first game, the Heat slowly regained their rhythm. After all, the combination of the Big Three is far beyond the Pacers' civilian configuration in lineup.
So at the beginning of the game, the Heat immediately took the initiative, and Wade and James took turns to show their power, making the Pacers almost breathless.
Although the Pacers are still the ones who have the advantage in rebounding, Hansblu and Hibert, the Pacers' two inside players, both of them, have weak offenses in the inside. Hibert is still very young and may have room for improvement in the future. Hansblu has been like this almost in his life.
Soon, the Heat took a lot of initiative. With 6 minutes left in the first quarter, the Heat had already led the Pacers by 13 points 23:10.
Today, the Pacers' core player Danny Granger had a very average feel and failed to hit several consecutive shots. Although this player is very strong and has the All-Star level, he does not fall into the category of the league's top superstars. His amazing performance yesterday was entirely due to his luck and good feel.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Spoelstra replaced Haslem and let Wang Dapao come on the field.
Haslem's role on the court is very obvious. The veteran who has been fighting for n**a for many years is going to completely defeat Wang Dahuan in experience. He knows very well when to do what. But compared to Wang Dahuan, Haslem's defensive strength is still much worse after all. If Wang Dahuan can effectively protect the backcourt rebounds after he comes on the court, then the Heat can win this game steadily, although this is only the first quarter.
Seeing Wang Dapao appear on the court, the fans on the court immediately formed two different reactions. Some fans cheered for Wang Dapao, believing that Wang Dapao can further expand the Heat's advantages, but other fans confirmed that according to Wang Dapao's performance in the game, he might provide the Pacers with some opportunities to turn the tables. After all, there was no Wang Dapao just now, didn't the Heat play well?
At this moment, Wang Dapao had no time to care about what the fans at home were thinking, and all his attention was concentrated on the court.
"Come on!" Wang Dapao roared in his heart. The result of the game really made him a little angry. "This is my Wang Dapao counterattack moment!"
The game continued. Because Granger had a poor feel in this game, Wang Dapao did not need to defend him, so the defense radius of Wang Dapao, who was standing in the inside, was much larger than the previous game.
The Pacers' two inside players, Hansblu and Hibert, both have only the offensive range within **. Perhaps Hibert is a little farther away, but it is not far away. Is Wang Dapao in defense of any of these two pressures?
Apart from their height, they are not better than themselves in any aspect!
After Wang Dapao came on the court, the Pacers did not deliberately attack the inside. After all, Wang Dapao, the best defensive player, still has the power, so they dare not take the risk to try out how strong Wang Dapao's defense ability is.
The Pacers' tactics were mid-range shots after pick-and-roll. The executor of the shooting was Granger. The Pacers did not give up making Granger and wanted to use a lot of shots to help Granger regain their feel.
But at this time, Granger still felt the same. After the basketball flew to the basket, it blew on the basket with a "clang".
Wang Dapao's eyes lit up immediately. His full rebounding ability made him instantly discover the landing point of the basketball and stood there as soon as possible.
But almost at the same time, Wang Dapao found that Hanslem and Hibert were standing on both sides of him at the same time, and jumped up almost at the same time as him.
"Where is Bosh?" This thought flashed through Wang Dapao's mind, and he immediately left it behind. Wang Dapao knew that no one could rely on him now! He could only rely on himself!
After Hansblu and Hibert took off, they clamped Wang Dahuan in the middle like a hot dog. At the same time, Hansblu's elbow was stuck on Wang Dahuan's shoulder very dishonestly, preventing Wang Dahuan from jumping up smoothly.
"The technique is still as dirty as ever! But..." Wang Dapao roared suddenly, his whole body became completely tense, and his full value of 99 and 99 bounce were burst out with the strongest power in an instant. "I want to jump higher! Higher and higher!"
Hansblu and Hibert only felt a powerful force rushing towards them. They were unable to effectively control the surname Fang and were directly knocked away by Wang Dapao.
Wang Dapao was like a bird that had just soared into the sky and broke through the obstacles, spreading its wings and soaring in the vast sky!
Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, Wang Dapao landed safely on the ground. At the same time, Hansblu and Hibert landed at the same time, and both fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?" Both of them raised their heads in shock and looked at Wang Dapao incredibly, but in this scene they looked like two people looking up at a king.
At this moment, Wang Dapao held his head up, no different from a proud king!
"Damn! Wang Dapao is so lively!" James Wade and Bosh, who had just reacted half a beat and had no time to help Wang Dapao get stuck, looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. He could force himself to squeeze out with his own strength. No, it should be said that he had knocked away two strong inside players to grab the rebound. It was probably Wang Dapao alone!
In an instant, the whole audience fell into silence. After less than 0:00, the deafening cheers almost overturned the American Airlines Arena!
Fans were cheering for the return of their defensive gate king cannons. This is the king cannon they are familiar with, the king cannon that has been fired!
"The counterattack time has arrived!"
While cheers were heard, Wang Dapao also threw the basketball out. Wade, who received the pass, quickly got off and made an extremely perfect connection with James. The Pacers' defensive player was fooled by the two of them, and there was no way.
Watching his players celebrating each other with high-fives and listening to the cheers of the fans on the court, Spoelstra couldn't help laughing. In this game, the Heat have won! No! It should be the entire series, the Heat have won!
Sure enough, although the first quarter has not ended, the Heat have completely taken the initiative. Granger has been unable to find the feel. The Pacers' two inside players cannot take any advantage in front of Wang Dapao. The Pacers gave up the game early at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Because the scores of the two teams at the beginning of the fourth quarter were 98:69 and the score difference of 29 points made the Pacers completely at a loss.
Both sides replaced the substitute in the fourth quarter. The Pacers recovered a little bit of points due to rookie Paul George's outstanding performance, but the 29-point pit is too big. Some teams may not get this score throughout the quarter, and what about the Heat still scoring at the same time?
In this game, Wang Dapao grabbed 20 rebounds, scored 8 points, 4 blocks and 4 steals at the same time. In terms of data, he was still vaguely at the same level. James and Wade scored 28 points and 24 points respectively, and Bosh also scored 20 points. The Big Three scored 72 points together, which was definitely an unsolvable combination. Granger, the core of the Pacers, felt bad today and only scored 18 points in the end.
In the end, the difference between the two teams was locked to 112:97, and the Pacers lost the second game, but they still had the advantage because they won one of the two home games of the Miami Heat. Next, in Indiana, the Pacers' home game, if the Pacers can use their home advantage to win two games and return to Miami with a 3:1 score, then the victory will undoubtedly be much easier.
Of course, this is obviously impossible. Even at home, the gap in team strength is still irreparable.
On April 22, the Heat flew away to play the Pacers in the third game of the first round of the series.
When we arrived at the Pacers, the Heat players were immediately "warmly" welcomed by Indiana Pacers fans.
"I didn't expect that the Pacers fans were so enthusiastic! I always thought the basketball atmosphere here was just average." Looking at the Pacers fans holding out the car window holding the signs "The Heat Go Back to Miami!" and so on, Wade and James were a little surprised. What made them even more different is that among these brands, the number of targeting them is not as good as targeting Wang Dapao alone. "Wang Dapao, they seem to be very discomfort!"
"Damn!" Wang Dapao rolled his eyes and looked at a fan outside the car window holding it high. "Wang Dapao go eat shit!" and so on, and so on, speechless.
Wang Dapao doesn’t remember what he said to provoke Indiana?
Wang Dapao completely forgot that during the intermission of the second game, he was interviewed by a reporter. The question asked by the reporter was how to view the Pacers' two inside players. Wang Dapao's answer was that the rebounding ability of these two inside players was average and the offensive ability was average, and the small movements on the court were done well. Did he learn it from their manager Bird?
This is completely a word of hatred that Wang Dapao had long forgotten. He had forgotten it, but Indiana fans can't forget it.
"You dare to say that our proud inside double tower rebounding attacks are average, and you can only make some small moves? You dare to hack Bird, whom we admire? This King Dapao is simply looking for death! You must let him know how powerful we are!" All the Pacers fans thought so.
This is also the reason why they targeted Wang Dapao like this.
** Wang Dapao didn't know that his indifferent words had offended fans in a city, but if you think about it carefully, there seemed to be many cases of him offending fans because of one sentence, and it was really not bad this time. (To be continued.)
