Chapter 239: New opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals, very strong!

During the pre-game training, the Cavaliers team watched the Pacers' playoff game video.

Before this, the whole team watched videos of the Heat.

Compared to the regular season, the Pacers' playing style has changed a lot in the playoffs.

For example, in the regular season, the Pacers scored from multiple points, and the scores from several offensive points were almost the same.

But in the playoffs, Paul George's number of shots increased significantly, revealing the style of the team leader.

The other teammates were also very powerful, and the efficiency was greatly improved.

This is one of the important reasons why the Heat lost to the Pacers.

Even if Wade can play, he may not be able to beat this Pacers team.

After watching the video, head coach Scott asked the players to share their thoughts.

Irving first said: "The Pacers' offense is not very strong and they don't have an absolute scoring point, but their defense is very tight. We should make a targeted offensive plan."

Scott nodded. He found that under Wang Yan's coaching, Irving had a more comprehensive understanding of the game.

TT went on to say: "The Pacers are very strong inside. Hibbert and West both have offensive capabilities, and both can assist. It's not easy to play against them."

Several other teammates expressed their opinions, which made sense.

Scott agreed with their discussion and finally looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didn't say much, but he hit the nail on the head.

"We have to raise the intensity when playing against the Pacers. They are generally very young and have never fought a tough battle. As long as the intensity is raised, they will collapse!"

Indeed, the Pacers only lost in the first round last year, so they definitely lack experience.

As long as the Cavaliers show the intensity of the finals, the Pacers will not be able to withstand it.

Three days later, the Eastern Conference Finals that fans have been looking forward to will begin!
Cleveland, Quicken Loans Center.

7:30 p.m.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, players from both teams came out one after another.

It's rare that Paul George won a lot of applause and cheers when he appeared on the court.

It seems that appearance is justice.

Pickle Pepper is one of the few handsome black guys and is really good-looking.

The Pacers' starting lineup is Paul George, Hibbert, West, Stephenson, and George Hill.

The Cavaliers' main lineup is TT, Wang Yan, Jamison, Butler and Irving, all of whom are playing.

Jamison got plenty of rest in the last few games of the regular season, and didn't play much in the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Although his tactical position is not high, he is a very important part of the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive balance.

Jamison is very threatening near the restricted area, with various mid-range shots, making it difficult for opponents to defend.

No matter how basketball evolves or how the three-point shot develops, the mid-range shot will always be the sharpest weapon for tough battles.

Jamison's assist defense is also very good, which is very important for the improvement of the defensive formation.

Jump ball in the center circle.

Wang Yan and Hibbert compete for the ball.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, it was TT who jumped the ball.

But today, Wang Yan seemed very excited and asked for a jump ball. TT certainly had no objection.

Hibbert is 2 meters tall, a full 18 centimeters taller than Wang Yan.

But his bullet speed is much slower than Wang Yan's.

bass!
The two jumped up almost at the same time, but Wang Yan's fingers touched the ball first.

Snapped!
Butler received the ball and passed it to Irving.

Hibbert was very annoyed. In the last round of games against the Heat, he won most of the games by jumping, but he just couldn't jump over Wang Yan!

Owen saw that Wang Yan was in a good mood today, so he exchanged glances with Wang Yan.

The two haven't played an opening show for a long time.

You can play it once today.

West's defense was very strong, he always stuck close to Wang Yan, and he was very strong.

Wang Yan was not in a hurry and walked towards the sideline. Irving dribbled the ball slowly, pretended to break through, and rushed to the penalty area with TT's cover.

Paul George left Jamison behind and came over to provide defense.

Irving deliberately dodged towards the baseline, but happened to stand behind West.

Wang Yan understood what he meant and accelerated, leaving West half a body length behind.

West hurried to chase after him, but suddenly bumped into Irving.

If Irving was not prepared, he would definitely be knocked to the ground, after all, the weight difference between the two was too big.

But Irving was prepared, so he accelerated and avoided Paul George's pursuit, and threw the ball towards the basket.

Wang Yan took two big steps to the basket and slammed the ball into the basket before Hibbert could make up for the defense!
boom!
Cavaliers fans are delighted.

Some fans still miss Wang Yan’s opening show.

After all, that is the "youth" of some fans.

After Wang Yan's dunk, he and Irving excitedly bumped their chests and roared.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The morale of the team is very important, especially at home, and we must be able to stir up the atmosphere.

Otherwise, what do fans spend money to watch? Isn't it just the wonderful performance of the home star?
Sure enough, after this dunk, the Pacers' players' morale was a little low.

Paul George is still young and was a little confused because Wang Yan showed strong dominance at the beginning of the game today.

At this time, Stephenson suddenly roared.

Even though this guy seems a little crazy at ordinary times, he is still the first to stand up at the critical moment.

"What are you afraid of? We are not even afraid of the Heat, so why should we be afraid of the Cavaliers? Let's kill them!"

West also shouted: "Yes! Just do it!"

"Dry!"

The morale of the Pacers players was boosted again by Stephenson.

2:0
Pacers attack.

Hill advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and saw Paul George leaning on Jamison and reaching for the ball, so he passed the ball to him.

Paul George has a wide range of offensive weapons, including old-school mid-range shots and good three-pointers.

So it's hard to defend.

Although Jamison tried hard, Paul George still scored two points with a turnaround jump shot.

2:2 flat.

This goal boosted the confidence of the Pacers players.

As long as Paul George can compete with Wang Yan, the Pacers can compete with the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan acted as the axis in the middle. After receiving the ball, he assisted his teammates and finally passed it to TT, who then passed it inside and let TT score.

In the first few rounds, both sides played their most comfortable offense and their defensive intensity was average.

However, this is just the exploratory stage.

After the first few rounds, it’s time to increase the intensity and fight to the death!

Sure enough, in Paul George's next attack, Wang Yan did not let Jamison defend alone again, but ran over to switch defense.

When Pao Jiao saw Wang Yan coming, he felt a little nervous, but more excited.

If you want to be the boss, you must have the ability to compete with the opposing boss.

You can't pass the ball at this time!
Pickle Pepper dribbled the ball slowly, watched Wang Yan's footsteps, and suddenly accelerated to the right to break through.

Logically speaking, his speed is fast enough, but for Wang Yan, it’s a piece of cake!
Wang Yan caught up with a big step, and at the same time stretched out his arms, firmly blocking the path of Pickle Pepper.

When Paul George’s plan failed, he turned around and pulled the ball, changing direction drastically.

In the last round of games, Paul George used this trick to trick the Heat's defensive players and scored a lot of points.

After changing direction, Pao Jiao noticed out of the corner of his eye that Wang Yan didn't catch up with him, and he was overjoyed.

It seems that Wang Yan is just so-so!

Pickle immediately took a step and jumped up, and shot quickly...
