At the end of the first quarter, both sides were able to play, and the Pacers led the Warriors by 1 point.

Both sides scored very high. Klay Thompson made 5 of 6 three-pointers in the first quarter and scored 17 points in a single quarter.

Li Liang scored 15 points in the first quarter and grabbed 5 rebounds, including 2 frontcourt rebounds, causing the Warriors to make three fouls in the interior.

Li Liang completed his defensive mission well in the inside line. Because he brought his own skill [Bill Russell's Three-second Fear], Li Liang's frame protection at the basket was inexplicably done very well - this skill has been upgraded to level 2, which can reduce the opponent's hit rate in the three-second Far.

Li Liang didn't know what the upgrade conditions for this skill were, so he was upgraded to another level some time ago.

He thought he didn't block too many shots in each game, and I don't know if it was related to the more time he had played center.

In short, this is a very useful skill. In the last part of the first quarter, when the Warriors were going to hit the peak of continuous offensives, Li Liang protected the basket several times under the basket, allowing the Warriors to fail to make a quick counterattack, helping the Pacers control the situation.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Liang rested off the court, and the second team of both sides fought on the court.

The Warriors' substitute is Livingston, who left the Clippers after winning the championship last season and turned to the Warriors.

At the beginning of the game, Livingston held the ball at the horn position and made a mid-range jump shot, causing Stephenson to foul.

On the free throw line, Livingston made both free throws, and the Warriors overtook the score again.

After experiencing a serious injury, Livingston regained his form with his strong willpower.

The most important thing is that he did not lose his love for basketball, overcame his fear of injury, and regained his confidence in the game.

Then, David West missed a mid-range jump shot, Livingston received the ball at the 45-degree waist from the left and played Stephenson with his back.

After a continuous dribbling test, Livingston suddenly turned around and leaned back, made a mid-range jump shot and hit!

Very beautiful mid-range shot, very beautiful backward.

Now he beat Fenson and got the ball in the backcourt. He rushed in with one dragon, but he was disturbed by the layup. Zheng

David Lee got a backcourt rebound, the Warriors counterattacked quickly, Livingston rushed to the frontcourt and received a long pass from David Lee.

He swung away the defender with a fake move at the basket, then made a close jump shot and hit again!

Livingston scored 6 points in a row, and the Warriors surpassed the Pacers by 5 points.

The Oracle Arena, which was suppressed for a whole section, finally became bustling.

Byrd should have called a pause, but he didn't have Sakura

He just stood up and stood on the sidelines, and didn't yell at the field, but just stared at the court and stared at Stephenson.

He was putting pressure on Stephenson to control his emotions.

Of course, Stephenson was so angry that he was fooled by Livingston.

But Bird stood up and looked at him, just reminding Stephenson to calm down.

Stephenson is now the sixth man, and when Li Liang is not present, he is the brain on the Pacers' field.

Once the brain is confused, the entire team's offense and defense will have problems.

Stephenson suppressed the impulse in his body and chose to pass the ball to David West at the low post.

West held the ball and forced David Lee with his back. After turning around, he made a jump shot from the front and scored two points.

The situation for the Pacers has stabilized.

Immediately afterwards, Stephenson stole Livingston in defense, counterattacked with a fast break, and a Warriors fouled.

The Pacers still hit West, this time they changed to 45 degrees on the right side, turned their backs and threw a throw from their left hand behind, and then Zheng

, the score difference has reached 1 point.

At this time, Bird can finally sit back on the bench and watch the game with peace of mind.

The Warriors' second team is still fast on the court, advancing quickly, pulling the outside line opens, and anyone can make a three-pointer when they have the chance.

Moreover, the Warriors' sharing ball is done well, the players' singles and passes are matched with each other, and the offensive rhythm is extremely strong.

This is the idea Steve Cole learned from Phil Jackson and the Chicago Bulls back then.

In fact, what kind of tactical system a team uses is not the most critical to success.

I have read many champion teams in history. Their tactical system is not particularly clear. They are often mixed and use whatever is easy to use.

The so-called triangular offense is more of a strategic idea than a specific tactical routine.

However, some of the characteristics of successful teams are very similar, such as reasonable and sufficient sharing of ball rights, tacit cooperation, tough defensive will, united style, etc.

Cole brought these elements to this Warriors, and it can be clearly felt from their substitute style that this is a team that "can play ball".

In comparison, Pacers rely more on several points and the players' personal abilities.

But this does not mean that the Pacers are worse than the Warriors. As a team that started with defense, the Pacers' fighting will is extremely strong and tenacious.

The second quarter took more than four minutes, and the Warriors' offense was very smooth, and the Pacers were always able to give the Warriors a response.

Both sides fought all the way, and the two sides tied, and the main players began to make their debut again.

Klay Thompson came on the court, and I wonder if his touch in the second quarter could still be so hot.

Pacers and Li Liang also made a comeback.

With McGee not around, the Pacers' inner rotation was very tight.

After Thompson came on the court, the Pacers' defensive line was inevitably pulled away.

The Warriors gained more room for activity in the inside, and David Lee made a tip-in.

On the Pacers, they continue to focus on the inside points and do not rely on Li Liang blindly.

Li Liang put more energy on the defensive end, protection under the basket, fighting for backcourt rebounds, and assisting in defense and making up for leaks.

On the offense, Stephenson and George Hill, who reappeared, both stood up.

George Hill completed a 31-pointer after pick-and-roll, causing the opponent's foul.

Both sides entered a stalemate.

The Warriors' offense is still very smooth, but the final ending is always a bit of a problem.

Steve Cole could see that after McGee left the court, Li Liang did a good job in protecting the basket.

"This guy is such a wizard."

Cole couldn't help but admire that Li Liang is really a wizard.

It's simply a master key, and any door can be opened.

Cole was already thinking that if Li Liang could replace Green in the Warriors, the Warriors' lineup would be invincible.

Cole thought beautifully, indeed, Li Liang has all the functions of Green, and they are all enhanced versions.

And with Li Liang's progress, he will soon throw Green behind and cannot see the taillights.

Just as he was thinking, Li Liang pressed Green's dunk head-on during the defense at the basket!

Green saw the ball empty in the middle and wanted to break in and dunk.

When Li Liang saw that you were dreaming, I wouldn't let you rush in and deduct it even if I fouled.

As a result, a big hat taught her how to be a man, Green almost fell into a big party.

The Pacers got the ball and counterattacked quickly. Li Liang held the ball and killed the basket. As a result, he passed the ball to the bottom corner and was intercepted by Thompson!

The Warriors' retreat was very fast and their formation was not messy. Several key positions were blocked very well, and they did not successfully fight back for the Pacers.

The real strong team is fighting, and the condition of both sides is getting better and better.

Li Liang was not upset about his pass mistake.

The Warriors' counterattack has arrived, Livingston advances quickly, Thompson cuts the basket and passes accurately.

West and Li Liang stuck in the space where Thompson turned around. Thompson slipped through the bottom line and passed it back to David Lee who cut in the middle.

David Lee received a throw, but was slapped out by West's big hat!

The defenses on both sides are very tough.

Hill grabbed the ball, but Li Liang will no longer pass the ball this time.

He took out McGinnis Bulls-like brute force, cut into the middle to receive the ball, dribble, and after pushing Green, he dunked hard with both hands!

Green was not ready for the ball, and was hit by Li Liang and flew out of the phosphorus line.

After getting up, he asked the referee for a foul. Li Liang thought, it would be good if the referee didn't yell at you to stop him.

“and

one!" Li Liang yelled at Green.
