Entering the second quarter, coach Luke first sent a small card up, let him take Sessions, small Curry, and recruits Arthur, Beasley, Smith three to play together.

This lineup is not as effective as the previous rotation in the last few minutes of the first quarter.

Among them, Curry is a pure pitcher. Arthur, Beasley, and Smith have the skills of the three-legged cat, and because of the new joining, whether it is with Xiaoka, Xiao Curry, or the three of them. There hasn't been enough tacit understanding between them.

So the problem arises.

On the defensive end, it is difficult to prevent the Pacers from attacking with communication problems, tacit understanding, and the player's own defensive level.

On the offensive end, the 76ers can only rely on the personal abilities of Kaka.

The other four didn't play very well, so Curry made a three-pointer, and the others just hit the iron.

Although the Pacers’ rotation lineup is not gorgeous, but the lineup is stable. Basically, which lineup last year, the tactics are also ready, and they played very well, both on the offensive end and the defensive end. .

For a time, the Pacers clearly had the upper hand, even if the small card is very strong, but the defense can't prevent it, which is a headache.

After a few minutes, the points difference was opened again.

"Request a timeout."

Coach Luke shook his head and called another timeout.

Not far away, in the Pacers rest area, a few players came to the sidelines to greet their teammates. Everyone gave high fives and the atmosphere was lively.

Head coach Frank Vogel is also smiling, because the players have played very well in the past few minutes and are now 8 points ahead.

"Guys, wait and keep going." Coach Vogel clapped his hands and said: "The 76ers are not terrible. We can beat them, and we must beat them. Come on!"

"come on!"

"Beat the 76ers."

Pacers players shouted in unison.

Here, Qin Hao and others are surrounded by Coach Luke, their faces are not pretty.

Although everyone is mentally prepared for the current situation of the team, it is still somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Okay." Coach Luke said in a deep voice: "It's just 8 points behind, nothing can't be beat." After that, he looked at the Pacers rest area not far away, squinted his eyes and sneered. "It's not that easy to beat us."

"Wait for a substitution."

"Qin Hao, Butler, Nene, the three of you go up." Coach Luke first replaced Qin Hao. The lineup changed to Nene, Qin Hao, Butler, Xiaoka, and Speights. Speights was on the court before.

Later, he spread out the tactical board, while drawing tactics, while saying: "On the defensive end, we focus on restricting George. If necessary, we can double-team him. The opponent has only one star. As long as you restrict George, you can restrict the opponent's offense. ."

"Of course, the most important thing is to attack."

"We need to score more points." Coach Luke had nothing to worry about, and he opened up and said, "If you can't defend, you have to rely on scoring and play against each other. Qin, Jimmy, Xiaoka, you guys The three to attack are more fierce and release your scoring ability."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and took a cold look at the Pacers rest area not far away. It was really worth scoring, but the Pacers weren't enough.

After some arrangement, the suspension also ended.

Both sides returned to the court. The 76ers replaced the main players, and the Pacers were the same. Hibbert, George, and Finson were all replaced. Hill was on the court before, playing with the bench lineup. Wei Stout didn't make it, and was still resting on the bench.

Because the Pacers also have a Turner, Turner is not as good as West on offense, but he is a good player on defense.

76ers offense.

Qin Hao came to the front court, took a look at the situation on the court, made a gesture, Speights came up for a pick-and-roll, Qin Hao took advantage of the situation to break through, and did not directly rush to the inside, it looked like he was going to pass the ball back to Speights.

The Pacers players thought the same way, so they didn't throw away Speights to pinch Qin Hao, and beware of his passing.

But at this moment, Qin Hao suddenly jumped up.

"not good."

It was Turner who stood in front of Qin Hao. With a heartbeat, he immediately jumped up and flew forward, extending his arm, trying to block it.

However, he found that the basketball was getting farther and farther away from him. Qin Hao was a backward jumper. He leaned back and raised the basketball with his right hand, shaking his wrist.

Huh!

A soft sound, a steady hit.

Now Qin Hao's mid-range is at the same level as a three-pointer, and this kind of backward jumper is just easy to come by.

After a while, Qin Hao and Butler played a match. Qin Hao broke through and cut the ball. Butler made a cut. After receiving Qin Hao's pass, he found a confrontation, forcing Hibbert to be unable to jump up, and then he was stuck in the air. Hit board shots.

Huh!

Also in.

Immediately afterwards, Kay also exerted his strength. After receiving the ball from his teammate, George subconsciously moved laterally. As a result, Kay withdrew his foot and directly pulled out.

Also scored, still a three-pointer.

Qin Hao, Butler, Xiaoka, and Philadelphia's Big Three scored successively, leading the 76ers to a wave of small gains and quickly approaching the score.

On the Pacers side, George frowned and wanted to stand up and help the team stabilize the situation, but whenever he got the ball, in addition to facing the small card, he also had to face the 76ers' other players. Help defend, even double-teaming.

Of course, George can also play off the ball. His shooting ability is very good, but he is not a sharp shooter like Qin Hao or Curry. When he plays off the ball, the threat is much smaller.

For a time, the Pacers fell into a disadvantage.

......

Coach Vogel could not help frowning, called a timeout, made some adjustments, replaced West in, and said to the players: "When the opponent doubles George, you must stand up and score the goal. Score in."

"Also, you have to take the initiative to attack, to contain the defense, forcing the other party not to easily double-team George, understand?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Coach Vogel understands that you can't just let George play off the ball. That would be a waste of George's ability. But to liberate George, someone must first come forward.

The 76ers are here.

Coach Luke also replaced him: "Lou Wei, wait for you to get on and replace Speights." Then, he looked at Lu Wei and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if you can't prevent it. It's okay to be targeted by the other party. The strength is not defensive. But you have to do one thing well, and that is to shoot three pointers."

After speaking, he looked at Qin Hao and others: "Next, we will fight back quickly and shoot our three-pointers, understand?"

"Yes."

"clear."

Qin Hao and others agreed in unison, Lu Wei bit his lip and nodded his head. His performance in the first quarter was terrible. It was completely a loophole. He didn't want this. He wanted to play his role and help the ball. Team instead of becoming a burden.
