Today is like a super-large glittering stage, bringing together superstars from all walks of life.

Big Bird is also coming.

He set off with the team today.

Right now sitting in the middle of a large crowd of Warriors fans.

How good will the Warriors give him?

Think too much.

But it doesn't matter, because a sea of white with the strange creature of a big bird is also an interesting picture.

Barkley returned to the commentary table after the interview.

It was then ridiculed by Kenny Smith and O'Neal in unison.

Barkley didn't think it was anything, but was a little complacent.

and took out the things that Xu Xuan personally gave him just now.

A pair of Signature Series sneakers, plus a signed jersey, and a signed basketball.

It's all signed by the right person.

"Laugh at me? You don't! Barkley triumphantly boasted about his gain.

Now it's Kenny Smith and O'Neill's turn.

"By the way, I just saw Ewing." Barkley said suddenly.

"And then?" Kenny Smith asked curiously, envious.

"Well, if someone hadn't pulled me, I could have beaten him to death." Barkley said earnestly, gesturing his fist.

"Hahahaha."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly improved, and the commentary table was full of joy.

"But, seriously, Charles, I feel bad about who wins and loses on both teams." Kenny Smith said.

Indeed, both the Pacers and the Warriors have too many reasons to win the championship.

......

On the field, with the end of the opening ceremony, the big screen on the scene gave the starting list of the two teams tonight.

Indiana Pacers: Xuan Xu, C.J. Myers, Paul George, P.J. Tucker, McGee.

Golden State Warriors: Curry, Klay, Barnes, Green, Bogut.

In the first game, both sides were regular starters.

"Sports Channel Television"

ESPN

"TNT TV"

"France Télévision"

"ZDF"

"Belgium"

"Spain"

“......”

With the commentary in different languages sounding, on the court, Xu Xuan and his teammates walked to the middle circle together.

McGee slapped her cheek with her hand, trying to make herself more conscious.

"Finals, G1, it's officially begins!"

McGee successfully jumped to the first offense for the Pacers, Xu Xuan quickly divided the offensive sector after dribbling over the half, and Xu Xuan almost missed the dribble, and under Klay's interference, the basketball was given to Pickled Pepper's hand without danger.

In the first attack, Xu Xuan did not fight by himself.

Holding the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the pickled pepper, he asked for the blocking and dismantling of the inside line, and after the blocking, he stopped and pulled out after the direct breakthrough!

Defending Pickles Peppers is Green.

The Warriors' defensive alignment today is very targeted, with Klay defending Xu Xuan and Green defending Pickled Pepper.

Bang Dang –

With Green's interference, the ball was empty.

But...... Rebounding –

"Xu Xuan grabbed the rebound, made up the basket, and got the first point in the finals!" Zhang said excitedly.

After 15 years, the Pacers once again have someone score in the Finals!

And here, Curry also completed the Warriors' first offense.

Hmmm——!

The exaggerated arc and soft feel seem to remind the people of India that 73 wins in the regular season is not something that can be played casually!

2 to 2!

"I was a little surprised that the first two three-pointers in the opening game were both two points." O'Neill complained.

Barkley gave him a blank look.

This is the normal good war, those who can't stop throwing three points and threes when they meet, will only appear in it, a game like this, it's not about what to shoot handsomely, what is sure to use!

In the first quarter, Xu Xuan scored 7 points in a row.

7 points, three layups, one free throw.

8-3, the Pacers led by five points.

Cole called a timeout.

This pause was not because Xu Xuan played too smoothly, but because the Warriors didn't find any rhythm on their side.

In those three minutes or so, the Warriors scored just once, in addition to hitting only one free throw.

"The Warriors are starting to get sick again, and just like the Western Conference finals against the Thunder, the Warriors are off to such a bad start." Kenny Smith said.

When they played the Thunder before, the Warriors were behind at the beginning of every game, and then they turned the tables to the limit of life and death, which made everyone watching the game frightened.

But this time, facing the Pacers, will it be so easy to turn the tables?

After the timeout, the game resumed, and Curry came up with a very unique three-pointer to make the score 8-6.

Yes, what is the matter, before the words left his mouth, Curry's three points came.

The difference from 5 points to 2 points is a matter of three-point shots.

The Pacers' key word in this series is: attrition.

It's useless to consume others, so you have to consume Curry and Klay.

How did the Pacers win the East Finals?

Didn't you just rely on the old man to exhaust him, and finally won?

Now hit Curry, the same.

Curry's physical fitness is not as good as that of the old man.

Not to mention that he was injured before, and when he played against the Trail Blazers, he played with an injury.

This goal, Xu Xuan decisively switched to Curry.

Seeing this good friend who was still in love at dinner yesterday, and now his face is full of murder, Curry can't help but complain in his heart.

It's also heartless.

But complaining and complaining, Curry doesn't want Xu Xuan to release water, on the contrary, if Xu Xuan really releases water, then this friend has nothing to do.

crossover——！

Xu Xuan's signature move.

Curry hesitated, but followed.

Xu Xuan had already started to step on the spot and was ready to go to the basket, Curry shook his head and pounced on it without hesitation

Boom——!

In the Oracle Arena, two people fell to the ground almost at the same time.

The fans at the scene watched this scene and were worried.

Is the first matchup between Big Curry and Little Curry so bloody?

However, the parties Curry and Xu Xuan had no expression, patted their butts and stood up, Xu Xuan walked to the free throw line, his eyes were like torches, as if he was not affected at all.

He hit both free throws to add two more points to the Pacers.

10 to 6, Xu Xuan has not shot three points until now.

The first quarter of this finals is far more technical and tactical than in the previous playoffs.

Coach Tyronn Lue, who was also watching the game at home, seemed to understand something, and the authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and Coach Lue knew that if the Cavaliers wanted to wash away the shame next season, they would have to make a fuss about outside projection.

Looking at the two teams, they barely shot three points, but if you look closely, limited by the strong outside projection ability of both sides, both teams have to expand their defense, which invisibly gives the outside players an opportunity to attack.

That's pinning. 520

Containment from three points!

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 26-22, and the Pacers led by four points into the second quarter.

The scores are not high, 26 points are just the norm, 22 points is a bit less.

Kerr frowned, a little worried about the bench players who were coming off the bench in the second quarter.

Xu Xuan's hanging man didn't rest again.

Always, again and again.

Kerr now has a little bit of a sense of Coach Lu's state of mind at that time, this Nima main force has not rested, and he is bullying the substitute on your side, what do you think you can do?

Coach Lu was very rigid at the time, and he used LeBron and Xu Xuan to reach the end, but as you can see, the death is ugly.

Kerr doesn't want to be like Coach Lue, and he can't be like Coach Lue.

Curry is not LeBron, and it doesn't cost him his life to let Curry play the full 45 minutes on the court.

The first quarter was full, and Curry gasped when he came off the court.

In other words, this is the serious defender in the league.

Like Xu Xuan and Wei Shao, it is too rare.

Rare species.

The role of a defender was actually not outstanding when he was in the league before, and even if he was brilliant, he was famous for assisting and passing.

It's because of the limitations of this position.

What is the saying?

Basketball is essentially a game for the big guys.

Your guard with small arms and legs, surrounded by a group of big men who are as fierce as wolves, is tough in itself.

People turn around and score, and your side has paid twice as much physical strength as others, and you may be capped in the end......

This is not an exaggeration, this is the truth.

In the era of hand-to-hand combat, what do you still want to do as a small defender?

So now many people say that Curry, Irving, and Walker may not be able to get along in the nineties, while Xu Xuan and Wei Shao may be like fish in water......

These words are not unreasonable.

In an era when three-point shooting is not the mainstream, guards have to make a huge comeback effort if they want to score!

Ahem, it's a little off.

But the truth is that Kerr didn't dare to call Curry like LeBron and Xu Xuan.

Curry can't do it, and even if he does, don't even want to see him in the next game.

So, for the Warriors, the second quarter was too important.

If you resist the pressure brought by Xu Xuan, the Warriors will play well in the second half and can't stand it...... Then it can only depend on the will of God.

"Andre, don't be burdened, he is consuming every moment, and our side Stephen and Clay are resting, if you hold on for one more second, they will rest for one more second, and our chances of winning will be one more point." Rarely, Cole said a lot of things today, all to Iguodala.

"Sean, you too, drag the other side, of course, it would be better if you could blow the other side." Cole waved his hand and said encouragingly.

Livingston: "......"

Is this human talk?

Beat Xu Xuan?

Are you kidding me?

What neither Curry nor Klay can do, I'm going to blow up the other side with my head.

However, if it had been before I got hurt, maybe it would have been ......

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors scored a layup by the last FMVP Iguodala to make it 26-24.

This is not a big difference.

Moreover, the first brother is really stable.

Kerr just pressed his brother to the bench for a whole quarter, and he didn't even play the small-ball tactics they were proud of.

The first brother came up and made a direct contribution, and after the layup, he received a steal, and the empty rear jumped directly to dunk!

26 to 26!

Equalized!

The first brother came up and scored 4 points in a row!

"How many times have you said that Andre should go into business, and if he can't be the boss in a few years, why should he grab money from a group of young players?" Barkley complained: "If you don't do good business and come to play, it's really blind to his talent." ”

Kenny Smith gave him a blank look.

Isn't it just that this side scored 4 points in a row, where is there such a big grievance?

That's enough.

Xu Xuan's side is nothing.

The strength of the first brother is expected by him, and the Warriors win games, generally speaking, 70% rely on starters and 30% on the bench.

Even, in some cases, the substitution can be 40%, or even 50%!

On the walker's side, Xu Xuan, who had been on guard for a long time, was not succeeded by the first brother this time, changed direction, and directly began to turn his back.

Back singles a brother!

"That's extraordinary confidence! The first brother is not so easy to back. ”

Xu Xuan no longer hesitated, turned over and leaned back and stretched out his hand, the first brother couldn't cover himself, and that was enough.

Hmmm——!

A picturesque landscape!

28 to 26.

"Na, at critical moments, Xu Xuan never disappoints!" Barkley said.

The Warriors didn't relent, and Livingston returned a mid-range single.

Livingston, a well-known mid-range singles king in the NBA.

28 to 28.

"Don't say it, the Warriors' bench played really well, and when they came up, Iguodala and Livingston didn't have a single ball...... It's a lot better than the starters. ”

"For example?"

"For example, Green, in the first quarter, the Pacers put Green in the three-point line all open, I counted, I took four shots, and none of them made ......," Barkley said.

Greene: "......"

There is an offense to.

But it's also true, not only Green, but Curry and Klay didn't feel very good in the first quarter, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen behind by 4 points.

When there were 8 minutes left in the second quarter, the first brother was a little unbearable.

Xu Xuan's side did not get weaker and weaker as he imagined, but became stronger and stronger.

This skin is about to be rubbed bald, but Xu Xuan is still as strong as ever!

Is it so hard?

The first brother and Livingston glanced at each other, and they both felt a little tricky.

Cole gave them a look, which means, do you want to change people?

The first brother shook his head.

Substitution?

For whom?

Curry?

Clay?

They had played the first quarter and were still panting.

The Warriors still made substitutions, and Kerr replaced Green to defend Xu Xuan.

In this way, the first brother can spare more energy to attack.

In the first half, both teams played very anxiously.

Green did play a role, and this guy also made Xu Xuan refresh his cognition of the word "dirty".

Pinching, dragging, stumbling, iron elbow work, crotch kicking, trash talk...... There's nothing Green wouldn't.

In the end, Xu Xuan was a little surprised, this guy was too much not to be an acrobat.

Almighty King!

Xu Xuan was annoyed by him, and when he went to the back, he used his own way to govern others.

There's no way, you can only be dirtier than him when it's dirty.

In the second half of the game, Curry and Klay on the Warriors' side gradually found their touch.

In the third quarter, Klay hit two three-pointers in a row, and Curry also hit a three-pointer, but after Xu Xuan's side played a full half in a row, he was brave in the third quarter, not only hitting three three-pointers in a row to tie with the opponent, but also causing an opponent's defensive foul on the outside one after another, hitting 9 free throws in a single quarter, pulling the score away in one fell swoop.
