Chapter 196: The Finals! Anxi is here again! (1/3, ask for a monthly pass)
Game 5 of the 76ers and Pacers begins at Conceco Arena. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This game is the last chance for the Pacers, but Frank Vogel still hasn't made any changes, there is really nothing to change, the Pacers' lineup is not so good, and the changes made on the offensive end in the last game are all Frank Vogel can do.
The opening Pacers still played very tenacious, in fact, three games in a row, the Pacers always bite the score in the opening or even the first half, after playing a wave of 6:6 in the opening, the two sides are stuck in a rhythm of back and forth, of course, the game of attacking and defending each other is more beautiful, but this is not what the players of the two teams on the court want to see.
In this game, both sides hope to win this game as soon as possible, and naturally, no one wants to see too many entangled scenes.
Therefore, both teams are looking for ways to widen the difference and seal the win as much as possible on the field.
From 6:6 to 15:15. In the first half of the first quarter, both sides did not succeed in opening the score and becoming the leading side, and the situation of the game has been stalemate, and it seems that the two teams will not be able to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.
However, it is clear that the Pacers are the more anxious side, this game is their home game, and given the 1-3 scoreline, they cannot afford to lose this game again, and the delay in establishing a lead makes the Pacers very impatient.
The game ended at the end of the first quarter, and at 27:27, the two teams were tied.
And from the second quarter onwards, the game became thrilling.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Paul George hit two three-pointers in a row to play a wave of 8:2, directly leading the 76ers by 6 points, causing a burst of joy at the Conceco Arena.
But after a timeout from the 76ers, they also played a wave of 9:2 without showing weakness, and led by 1 point, forcing Frank Vogel to also call a timeout.
Soon, however, the Pacers gradually gained the advantage on the court and began to gradually extend their lead.
By halftime, the Pacers had a seven-point lead over the 76ers at 58:51, and it looked like things were going well.
But in the crucial third quarter, the 76ers broke out again.
At 7:0 in the opening period, the 76ers equalized the score in 1 minute.
Frank Vogel hurriedly called a timeout, but the timeout came back to no avail......
Then, in the third minute of the third quarter, the 76ers extended the difference to 5 points in a wave, 63:58, and the Pacers did not score a point in the first three minutes of the third quarter!
Frank Vogel continued to adjust, but that didn't stop the Pacers' downward trend.
After the timeout, the Pacers did score, Paul George and George Hill combined in the high post, George Hill cut to the basket, received the basket and made a layup.
At 63:60, the difference narrowed to 3 points.
But then, Anxi slipped to the bottom line and ran out of opportunities, McCarvey's pass was just right, Anxi received the ball and threw it, hitting the middle shot, 65:60.
Then, Paul George forced the inside, but he was blocked by a strong block, and when he jumped up to make a layup, the basketball was directly removed by Anxi.
In the lamentation of the Conseco Arena, Anxi passed the ball to Jack Crowder in the frontcourt, and Jack Crowder scored a dunk on a fast break, 67:60.
This is not over, the 76ers continued to defend the Pacers' offense, and then scored again on the offensive end, this time it was Pau Gasol who scored on the inside, he singled David West inside, turned around and made a layup, 69:60, and saw that the point difference was about to go to double digits.
Frank Vogel called a timeout again, but when the timeout came back, the Pacers missed another shot and Omir Asik grabbed the rebound.
The 76ers attacked quickly in the frontcourt, and Anxi quickly broke through to the basket and made a layup.
At 71:60, in just a few minutes, the 76ers expanded the difference to 11 points in one fell swoop!
If the 1:3 score put the Pacers in a desperate situation, then at this moment, the instant 11-point deficit made the Pacers gradually fall into despair.
Paul George is in a very bad mood, although he and Anxi are good friends and brothers, but in the face of the temptation of the Finals, no one will not be moved, and at this moment, the 76ers are obviously already in front, with an 11-point lead, and when there is still half of the third quarter, it is not enough to lose the suspense of the game, but the Pacers have lost most of their confidence.
Even Shaquille O'Neal on the commentary bench couldn't stop shouting: "It's the third quarter again, it's exactly the same as the last two games, every third quarter, the Pacers will collapse in the 76ers' furious attack! The point difference continues to widen, and the Pacers are going to lose this crucial battle!"
Frank Vogel took another timeout, and the game ran out of timeouts just into the third quarter.
This time, though, the Pacers managed to stabilize the situation.
Soon, the third quarter ended, and the Pacers trailed the 76ers by 16 points.
The Pacers were reluctant to give up, but in fact, from the fourth quarter onwards, the game was completely out of suspense.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul George shot a three-pointer against the defense, they were in a hurry to chase the score, and they didn't even want to play more offensive routines.
The 76ers grabbed the rebound, and then quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and Anxi assisted Omir Asik for an inside dunk to expand the gap again.
Then, Paul George continued to shoot three-pointers, but this time he still didn't score.
And the 76ers were another wave of fast breaks, and Anxi broke into the interior and made a layup.
The difference came to 20 points in a blink of an eye.
The Pacers are gone!
Paul George continued to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and this time it was finally scored, but it was too late, and the 76ers had already further widened the difference.
In the end, the 76ers won at the Conseco Arena!
At 116:92, the 76ers beat the Pacers by 24 points, another big win!
"116-92, 4-1, the 76ers won the Eastern Conference Finals, and they advanced to the Finals first! Now, the 76ers can wait for the Spurs and Thunder in the West to separate the winners......
The 76ers won!
No one would have thought that it would be the 76ers who would end up killing the Finals, and at the beginning of the season, the 76ers were still considered the bottom team in the East, and although they changed rankings several times, they were only considered to be on the fringes of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
As a result, the 76ers not only achieved the second record in the East in the regular season, but also reached the Finals in one fell swoop! Such a result is really surprising and gratifying, maybe for many people, but for 76ers fans, this is joy.
At the end of the game, the sky of Philadelphia was filled with brilliant fireworks, and the whole city was boiling.
"This is after the 2000-2001 season, the 76ers returned to the playoffs after 12 seasons!
Paul George's expression on the sidelines was slightly lonely, as a friend, the winner at this moment, An Xi would not only care about his own happiness, but not his friend's, he walked over and patted Paul George's shoulder.
"Paul, come on, I hope to see you again next year......"
Paul George nodded and forced a smile: "You also have to work hard to win the final O'Brien Cup." ”
An Xi nodded, that's for sure.
Now that they have advanced to the finals, then the O'Brien Cup, no matter what, we must fight for it, no matter how strong the enemy in front of us, the 76ers will not back down!
Finals! Anxi is here again! (To be continued.) )
