And the key is Sloan's tactical design. Deron used the pick-and-roll to shoot directly in one step, giving the Pacers no chance to help defend.

So the question becomes, can Deron make the ball.

Deron's shot was very positive.

"Whoosh!"

A crisp sound came, and Deron took the lead for the Nets!

Deron's state in the first round was not just because he felt good, his state was the result of his mental drive!

He wants to win this championship for Sloan!

Vogel reached out and touched the corner of his mouth.

Sloan is so targeted.

The Pacers' frontcourt.

Lin Ying directly defended George.

The Pacers play team basketball, but the offense still has a focus. David West and George are inside and outside.

If George is locked up, the rest will depend on West's performance.

Sure enough, Hill saw Lin Ying guarding George and signaled West to take position inside.

Yi Jianlian's defensive choices at this time were also very experienced. He directly went around to defend, and then extended his long arms to interfere with Hill's passing route.

He caused a lot of interference with this ball.

Hill hesitated, but West extended his hand and showed strong offensive body language, and he still gave the ball in.

"Crack!"

As a result, he was directly interrupted by Yi Jianlian!

This goal may explain why the Pacers' scoring is inconsistent.

Their offense changes a bit!

Yi Jianlian stole the ball and the Nets quickly pushed for a fast break.

Because Hibbert had no time to retreat, the Nets quickly formed a 5-on-4 situation in the frontcourt.

Deron gave the ball to Lin Ying.

Before the Pacers could get into position, Lin Ying broke through the paint with a tight waist.

George showed excellent defensive awareness. Lin Ying's change of direction did not directly pass him, but he... failed to withstand it!

Lin Ying's impact after accelerating is no worse than James!

West was forced to help defend.

Lin Ying saw the opportunity and threw the ball into the air behind West.

Over there, Chandler was led to jump up.

"Bang!"

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Chandler grabbed the ball in the air and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands!

The huge impact made the entire basket tremble.

It was only then that Hibbert returned to the backcourt three-point line!

Then, he buried his head and ran forward again.

Vogel stood up and shouted at Hill for a while.

Hill dribbled to the frontcourt, passed the ball to George, then set a pick-and-roll for West at the elbow, and then released it to the three-point line.

George then lobbed the ball to West inside.

There was a pick-and-roll without the ball just now, and West was already mismatched with Deron.

The attack of this ball showed Vogel's tactical level and created misplaced singles opportunities.

West caught the ball, hit the ball hard twice, and then turned over and shot a jumper.

Deron's position on the field is small, but his size is not small.

"Whoosh!"

However, West showed his soft touch and threw the ball in despite Deron's interference!

The Pacers were able to defeat the Bulls 4-1, even without Rose, which is enough to illustrate their strength.

This year in their history, they are the only team to reach the tiebreaker with the Heat's Big Three!

This goal boosted the morale of the Pacers.

Back on the defensive end, Hill cleverly escaped Chandler's pick-and-roll.

Deron didn't get a direct shot like he did in the opening game.

He reacted quickly and gave the ball to Lin Ying, who was still at the three-point line, and then continued his tactical movement and took Hill away.

Chandler continued the pick-and-roll, and this time he blocked George.

Lin Ying met Hibbert out of position, took a step to the free throw line, and Hibbert pounced directly on him!

It seems that Deron's previous guess was right, Hibbert was afraid of Lin Ying's emergency stop jumper!

After all, this is not the first time the two teams have played against each other. In the past two years, Lin Ying has made a lot of shots against him in the regular season!

But what Lin Ying did next disappointed him.

When Grove was training Lin Ying to make a pull-up jump shot, it was actually a choice with changes.

Lin Ying can instantly stop for a jump shot, or he can continue to break through.

Otherwise, he can often freeze the defensive player in place because he is afraid of his backhand breakthrough!

So Hibbert jumped out with a fierce look on his face.

But his expression soon changed, because Lin Ying rushed past him.

His eyes saw it, and his eyeballs followed Lin Ying's figure, but his body obviously couldn't keep up!

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Lin Ying hit Hibbert with one movement of looking at the frame, and then quickly entered the penalty area.

It was too late for the Pacers' help defense on both wings.

"Bang!"

A gliding dunk for the fans at the scene!

The scene was instantly filled with whistles and cheers.

Hibbert: A lot of his offense comes from breakthroughs, but the basket is my territory.

It's your territory, but you can't be the master!

Hibbert quickly indicated that it was his fault, which shows that the Pacers' team atmosphere is indeed good.

Hill advanced to the frontcourt, signaled the tactics and tried to repeat the same trick.

But this time the tactic was not successful. Hill blocked Yi Jianlian. It was normal for him to block once, but it was a problem if he succeeded in blocking continuously.

The ball finally returned to George.

Hibbert took the initiative to mention the three-point line pick-and-roll. He is big enough, and the pick-and-roll quality of the big men from Princeton will not be bad.

George mismatched Chandler, broke through to the basket with the ball... and was forced to stop...

Chandler's deterrence in the three-second zone is not much weaker than Hibbert!

George turned around and threw the ball to Stephenson on the outside.

The Pacers' offensive time was running out, and Stephenson changed back to face Johnson and made a strong shot.

This ball is difficult.

"Whoosh!"

But the ball still went in!

You can't always trust your junior brother, but sometimes you can!

4 to 8!

Although they were behind in the score, the Pacers really started with momentum.

Moreover, compared to the Cavaliers, the pressure they put on them was completely different.

"Come on! Nets!"

The fans at the scene also felt this. Driven by the on-site DJ, the fans began to cheer for the home team.

At this time, there was a very interesting scene on the field.

Stephenson is waving at Johnson!
