Anyway, they were playing two different systems.
Honestly, after Artest left, the Pacers' first line of defense against LeBron was reduced to just Su Wan.
And as long as LeBron called for a pick and roll, it was easy for him to get an open shot.
Compared to previous encounters with the Pacers, LeBron seemed much more at ease, at least, he had a lot of control in his breakthroughs.
Just...
Once he charged in, the effect of his attacks under the basket weren't very good.
Zach Randolph and Foster were standing under the basket, compressing the space, which made it very narrow for him even after he had broken into the paint.
In that tight space, he still had to avoid Zach Randolph's 7'4" arm span and Foster's interference...
It really wasn't an easy task.
