Chapter six hundred and eighty fourth
"The Pacers played epic offense and defense in the first quarter, and I'll say it again now, this game is over, it's over!"
Reggie Miller "shamelessly" shouted "it's �
The Pacers' performance in the first quarter was indeed very shocking, with an advantage of 40:15 and 25 points almost crippled the Bulls.
If the Bulls are an offensive team with accurate three-pointers and full of momentum, they will be able to save themselves by 25 points in the first quarter.
But the Bulls don't have such hard power, and they played really badly in the first quarter, the kind of bad thing that goes from the field to the mental state.
The TV station gave the game data of the two teams in the first quarter.
The Pacers shot up to 65 in the first quarter, while the Bulls only had a pitiful 30, less than half of the Pacers.
Moreover, the Bulls failed to hit a three-pointer in the first quarter, and the offense was distracted.
He dared not shoot from the outside, he could not make any breakthroughs in the inside, made consecutive mistakes, and failed to make free throws.
It makes people wonder if this bull has changed his previous game.
Let’s take a look at the starting list, it’s exactly the same as the previous game.
I can only say that in the playoffs, different situations will happen in each game, and no game will be performed again according to the script.
After the second quarter started, the second team of both sides confronted on the court.
The Bulls replaced the Little Black Bean Aaron Brooks in the backcourt, while the Pacers were led by Garnett, David West, Stephenson and others.
To be honest, the Pacers' second lineup is still better than the Bulls.
However, the second lineup often looks at the whole, but the part.
It depends on whether there is a particularly prominent point that can be played in a short period of time and give the opponent a quick and effective blow during the transition stage.
In this regard, the Pacers lacked some, and there is no such microwave-type player.
Stephenson can give fast and effective blows, but often hits his own people.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Stephenson drew a three-pointer from the outside but missed a hit.
Brooks got the rebound and a long pass to Gibson who reached the frontcourt. Jebson received the ball and dunked it directly.
It's Gibson again, and the only normal point for the Bulls tonight is Gibson.
However, after all, the Pacers have two points: David West and Garnett.
West took the pick-and-roll from a high position and took a pass from Sloan and made a layup that caused the opponent's foul.
He went to the free throw line and made both free throws, West's free throw was very stable.
Now, the Pacers are in charge of the two elders Xuanming.
Li Liang once cooperated with the two elders of Xuanming on the outside, Kobe Nash, and now West and Garnett.
Two people have an attack and defense. Although they are a little older and have a bit behind the times in terms of playing style, it is very difficult for the Bulls to set off a wave of counterattacks.
Brooks tried to break through from the right, but was blocked by Garnett and almost made a mistake.
However, Brooks stumbled and passed the ball to Ross who was squatting on the outside. Ross received the ball and took a three-pointer, and finally made an in!
The Bulls finally hit the first three-pointer in the game.
For the current NBA, you can't shoot three-pointers, and you can't shoot three-pointers, so it's really difficult to win.
Ross' three-pointer relieved the Bulls' pressure and gave the Pacers a warning.
It's the second quarter now, and the game is still a long time.
Garnett immediately received the pass from the high position and made a mid-range jump shot.
The two middle distance inside the Pacers are enough for the Bulls to drink a pot.
Then, Garnett had a big hat on Brusk in defense!
Brooks tried to force his attack in the three-second zone, but was slapped by Garnett.
Garnett's block was not the kind of volleyball cap. He just rubbed his fingertips on the ball, changing the ball's flight trajectory, and the ball fell into his hand.
After Garnett got the ball, Stephenson was already on the road.
Garnett saw a chance, a super long pass was given to the frontcourt again!
This time Stephenson did not waste any chance. After receiving the ball, he took a step and made a layup!
In general, this kind of ball will not be passed easily, after all, the risk of being cut is too high.
But under this current situation, the courage to pass the ball is much greater.
"Beautiful pass! Guided long pass from Kevin Garnett! They completed the cooperation that was not completed in the first quarter!"
Reggie Miller was so excited that he completely ignored his identity as a commentator and began to cheer for the Pacers' unstoppable attack.
This time, Garnett can finally slap Stephenson happily.
The gap between points is getting bigger and bigger, and the Bulls are in danger.
At this time, Ross stood up.
In addition to just contributing a three-pointer, he broke through the basket twice in a row, forcibly used his speed to throw away Garnett, threw one shot, and scored in the middle distance.
The roses that were tortured by injuries are still blooming tenaciously.
Of course, Ross's health was not as good as before, and his explosive power, change of direction, was reduced after being injured.
Therefore, he relies more on his skills and willpower to support the game. The Bulls do not have Ross. No matter how colorful or hard-working they seem to play, they will never be included in the ranks of the championship team.
Ross scored 7 points in a row.
Thibodeau is also very thief. He replaced Ross in the middle of the first quarter, allowing Ross to play with the second team at the beginning of the second quarter, just in the wrong position to deal with the Pacers' substitute. At the same time, with Aaron Brooks, Ross can play the scoreback and focus more on chasing points.
The Bulls approached the score slightly.
Then, David West caused the opponent's foul at the low post and went to the free throw line.
Byrd knew that it was time to replace Garnett.
Garnett was already sweating profusely. Although his physique was sweating wildly as soon as he exercised, he was 40 years old and it was enough to play for such a while in the first half.
Li Liang made a comeback, and he was replaced by Bird as a center.
Li Liang felt reluctant. Although he started the fourth position in the first quarter, he actually played in the third position in the offensive end, and it can be said that the effect is excellent.
"Larry, let McGee go, let McGee go too."
"Mckey has a rest and let McGee rest."
"He has been resting for a while! Can't you give me more rest?"
"You have a high salary."
Bird was held back by Li Liang.
Damn, when I was at the Lakers’ lowest salary, I didn’t say I wanted to go to less?
Li Liang had no choice but to make a comeback again and run to the center position to hit the cylinder.
The reason why Bird didn't go to McGee was mainly because he trusted Li Liang more.
He hopes that the team can further expand its score advantage.
If it is the third quarter or fourth quarter leading by more than 20 points, it will basically be stable.
It was the first quarter, which was the most unstable. The game was very long and there were still many variables.
So Li Liang went up and wanted to firmly nail the bull's coffin board.
As soon as Li Liang appeared on the court, he immediately contributed steals on the defensive end. Ross couldn't adapt to his defensive strength for a while.
As a result, after the defense was changed, Li Liang intercepted the ball directly from Ross and then passed it to the frontcourt. Granger received the ball and made a dunk at the basket!
The number of Pacers' fast breaks tonight may be more than all four games in the previous round combined.
But Ross immediately responded.
He continued to hold the ball in the middle, continued to call for pick-and-roll, and still had a face-to-face showdown with Li Liang.
This time Ross accelerated, followed by a powerful change of direction. Crossover passed Li Liang, rushed into the basket in the middle, protected the ball, and then made a layup with his right hand!
This ball gives people the feeling that Ross had almost exhausted the energy he had accumulated for a long time.
The sudden stop and direction change after the high-speed breakthrough made him get a vp and ruined his knees.
When needed, he can still get up quickly and move to a layup without slowing down, but it can't be used frequently.
Even Reggie Miller exclaimed, "Crossover! Crossover! Derek Ross, this ball is really back, it's back."
No one noticed that before Li Liang defended Rose, he silently said "Ball blind identifyer".
Well, he decided to take the other person's way and treat him with one move!
