Zhao Chen's two dunks were earth-shattering, and MVP shouts rang out one after another from the scene!
"Pinch attack, double attack!" Pacers coach Vogel shouted loudly.
It has to be said that Vogel also has a strong learning ability. After he discovered that the team could not defend Zhao Chen alone, he immediately chose to flank Zhao Chen. This was a strategy implemented by the opponent when the Lakers lost three consecutive games.
Pacers offense.
Paul George's eyes were slightly serious, and he blamed George Hill for his carelessness.
Paul George chose to dribble the ball through half court himself.
Covington continues to mark Paul George, and Zhao Chen marks Stephenson.
It's still a pick-and-roll, this time it's West's move.
The player following this time was Boozer. Boozer was very experienced and did not allow Paul George to break through successfully.
If the pick-and-roll doesn't work, Paul George doesn't have absolute one-on-one ability, so he immediately distributes the ball to Stephenson.
Stephenson was even more difficult to play here. He met Zhao Chen, the Lakers' strongest individual defensive player.
But Stephenson was very stubborn. After dribbling the ball, he chose a large step-back jump shot.
I have to say, the action was very beautiful, even Zhao Chen shook it away.
However, Stephenson's shot hit the basket.
Many players can step back, but not scoring goals.
Jokic blocked Hibbert, and Zhao Chen jumped over to protect the rebound.
As soon as Zhao Chen got the ball, he turned around and started a counterattack.
Dinwiddie and Covington on the right started at the same time.
However, the Pacers' defense was very targeted. Hill immediately hugged Zhao Chen who was about to pass him. The Lakers' counterattack failed to push forward.
Jokic served Zhao Chen from the sideline.
Paul George continued to harass Zhao Chen. Paul George's defense was good, so Zhao Chen had to be careful when dribbling.
As soon as he reached the frontcourt, Stephenson, who was nearby, gave up on Covington and came to flank Zhao Chen.
Covington stood on the right side and there was a gap outside the three-point line, and Zhao Chen passed the ball over.

Covington nodded.
Pacers offense.
Paul George hit Covington in a low post. He hit Covington with his back continuously and didn't have many chances.
Hibbert's pass, Paul George gave the ball, Jokic failed to guard Hibbert, Hibbert was too high, allowing him to enter the three-second zone and was basically unguardable, Hibbert easily released the layup.

"boom!"

"Uh-huh!"
4 to 9.
"Oh oh oh, beautiful and picturesque, lean back."

The fans at the scene were cheering and screaming.

Post-up skills are indeed one of the results of Zhao Chen's training this summer. Zhao Chen's footwork and jump shot are perfectly combined.
Paul George's defense is good, but he can't guard against an attacker of Zhao Chen's level.
Paul George took a deep breath, feeling tremendous pressure.
After completing the goal, Zhao Chen glanced at Paul George in a very provocative manner.
Zhao Chen is never afraid of strong enemies, he is eager to defeat them.
Vogel was a little anxious on the sidelines.
Zhao Chen's style of play has become more determined now. As long as there is no flanking attack, he will fight, and as long as there is a flanking attack, he will find his teammates.
Defending like this is tricky.
The Lakers this season are indeed different from the Lakers last season.
Although they experienced a three-game losing streak, their momentum and confidence have not been lost, and the court is still in good order.
Pacers offense.
George Hill did not give the ball to his teammates, but called Hibbert's screen and then shot a three-point jumper! !

Covington's defense was delayed by Hibbert, and Paul George made a mid-range jump shot.
"Uh-huh!"
9 to 11.
With the help of screens, Paul George's mid-range shooting rate is very stable.
"Paul, great job!!" fans supporting Paul George shouted at the scene.
"Objectively speaking, Paul George is indeed very suitable for the Lakers. He can play with and without the ball. He is not at the same level as Covington." Kenny Smith said.
