At the end of the first quarter, 25-23, the Pacers led the Raptors by 2 points.

The lead was not a big difference, but Coach Casey's face was not very good-looking.

In the second quarter, Xu Xuan was in the list again.

"Kyle?"

Coach Casey screamed.

Lowry immediately took off his pants and changed his clothes, ready to play.

The Raptors are confident, and they will naturally not be afraid of being killed by the Pacers when they put on a three-guard lineup.

Lowry is also a very resilient player in the league.

The three-back lineup in this game was proposed by Lowry, he has confidence in himself, Xu Xuan is durable, he is even more durable, and it is no problem to have several at a time!

"Ho! With a key player on both sides leading the team, let's take a look at the starting lineups for the second quarter on both sides, with Xu Xuan, CJ Myers, Copeland, Lavoy and West on the Pacers' side.

"The Raptors are Lowry, Terrence Rose, Corey Joseph, Patrick Patterson, Bismarck Biyombo."

"The Raptors are still implementing their three-guard system, is Lowry going to fight Xu Xuan in terms of physical fitness?"

It's a tug-of-war.

Lowry is really hard to deal with, if he can have a shot like Curry and Xu Xuan, it will definitely be amazing, but even now, Xu Xuan rarely sees anyone who can match him in this kind of super battle.

Wei is one less.

Curry can't do it.

The two of them didn't stop in the first quarter, and they still didn't stop in the second quarter!

In the third quarter, it's still endless!

Played three quarters in a row!

The teammates around him have changed batch after batch, but only Xu Xuan and Lowry have been sticking to the field.

Bang bang! Oh hey! Bang bang! ”

"Bang bang! Oh hey! Bang bang! Victory! ”

The stadium at the Canada Route Centre in Toronto was filled with cheering crowds, with 20,300 spectators arriving to cheer on the home team.

The strong performance of these three quarters completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, and a steady stream of shouts began to resound in the sky.

Even now that Frank Vogel is on the bench, he can still paint the picture of the snow-white sky setting off stormy waves, like a flood of beasts, ready to devour them at any time, as if the victory is in hand, as if the opponent is no longer able to resist.

But is that really the case?

Is competitive sports really that simple?

He looked to the Raptors bench.

Lowry's heavy, hot wheezing, even from so far away, still came clearly into his ears.

And that sweat...... Maybe it's not sweat, it's blood!

It was a bright red color that flowed from the endless heat flow in the body!

He was pushed to the limit by Xu Xuan.

But this super-durable battle isn't over yet.

The real meaning of competitive sports is never the strength comparison or score gap, but the on-the-spot play, the real decision is always the confrontation and struggle in every minute and every second of the game, only the real hand-to-hand moves, can determine the outcome of each game! Otherwise, after the match draw comes out, the champion can be decided directly on paper, and there will be no meaning in competition and competition.

Fight!

Fight!

Fight!

Fight to the last moment with burning blood! Fight your way to the end of the game! Let's see who can have the last laugh! This is the life he is passionate about!

"Whoa!"

Lowry wiped all the sweat off her cheeks fiercely—

Clenching his fists heavily, he stood up with his head held high, and strode firmly and courageously in the direction of the court.

DeRozan was the number one name of the team, but he was never the soul of the team!

The Raptors have many souls, whether it is the current DeRozan era or the later championship Xiaoka era, there is only one soul, and that is Lowry!

Little by little, a shout resounded through the sky, and the hot and humid air wave mercilessly swallowed everyone, and the rolling heat made the vision blurred.

But Lowry's footsteps were not blurred.

At this point, he may have understood that he can't fight the young man opposite.

But Kyle Lowry will never let himself say the word failure!

Die and die standing!

"Lowry is back on the field again! He refused Coach Casey's order to rest! ”

"Oh, Xu Xuan is back too! The two of them formed a counterpoint again, but looking at it like this, Xu Xuan was obviously a lot more relaxed, and Lori's sweat had completely wet his clothes. ”

Xu Xuan also admired the little man standing in front of him.

Lowry is not very tall among point guards, only 185, which is much shorter than Curry, Irving and Xu Xuan.

Especially Xu Xuan, Xu Xuanjie has measured before the playoffs, and his current height is 174, and he is about to reach 175...... A little higher, you can play the second position.

Even now, Xu Xuan's height will not suffer too much if he plays the second position.

The game continues.

Now the Pacers are gradually extending their lead.

Lowry is very strong, but DeRozan is not up.

As before, you can still fight as you want.

Truth be told, this calm momentum is good in the regular season, but it is less aggressive in the playoffs.

If he is with Lowry today and toughens the Pacers' side, he may really have a chance to break down the Pacers' defense.

But now Lowry is alone, and he is still restrained by Xu Xuan, and it is too difficult for the Raptors to win.

In the blink of an eye, another 5 minutes passed.

Lowry's steps grew heavier and heavier.

He couldn't hold on anymore, but Xu Xuan on the other side was still alive.

"Huh."

Lowry laughed.

He confidently thought that he could drag Xu Xuan to death, but he didn't expect that the person who was dragged to death in the end was himself.

His body and limbs were sending him a sense of "impatience", and the tired feeling that penetrated deep into his heart was slowly corroding his skin, and even his heart couldn't help but start beating slowly.

5 minutes

6 minutes

7 minutes

8 minutes

9 minutes

......

Lowry persevered to the end.

But he can't change the ending!

He was already running mechanically in the back, and he couldn't play any effective role at all, but Xu Xuan was different.

Xu Xuan was still shooting in the fourth quarter.

102 to 96!

Even if Lowry tried hard to the end, he still couldn't change the outcome of the game.

The Pacers had the last laugh and won their first G1 series.

Lowry and Xu Xuan both scored 48 points in this game, and they didn't stop for a second.

In the end, Lowry scored a game-high 35 points for the Raptors, while Xu Xuan scored a game-high 48 points!

48 points in the playoffs!

48 points, 7 assists, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks!

The data is gorgeous!

The Pacers got off to a good start, while Lowry was disappointed.

He tried, he fought for 48 minutes, but he couldn't change it.

He was so tired, he was more tired than he was playing several games.

He originally wanted to give the Pacers a dismount to Xu Xuan in this first game.

dragged Xu Xuan's physical fitness, so that they would be very good in the next three games, but he didn't expect that it was he who was dragged to death in the end.

That's it.

It's all over now.

After this game, the physical consumption is huge, and Lowry doesn't know how to play in the next game.

I dug myself a big hole.

Sure enough, in the next second game, the Raptors lost again.

Two consecutive home defeats.

Nothing could be worse than that.

A second straight defeat at home is already an almost 80% chance of losing the series.

“...... Obviously, the Raptors' tactics were unexpected, they originally wanted to use Lowry to drag Xu Xuan to death, at least Xu Xuan would not lose a single exchange, but now, Lowry was dragged to death by Xu Xuan, and he had nothing to lose, oh, you see, the Raptors players all lowered their heads, and Xu Xuan's performance in the first game gave them a hard blow. ”

"Lowry should be resting, you see, his chest is completely wet, as if he just got out of the pool, but people who don't know will think he just finished fixing the water pipes."

"Poor Kyle, he's fighting for his life this time."

In contrast to Lowry, DeRozan on the side, after a game, his face was not red or out of breath, although he lost the game, his posture was still flat.

I'm afraid it's not the one in Minnesota or the DeRozan who learns, right?

It's like this.

"Kyle is already in terrible form, and I even suggested that he take the next two games off, but I don't think he would agree."

"Coach Casey should mean the same thing, he's just compressing Lowry's playing time this time, and I've seen it a few times when Coach Casey talks to Lowry again."

"But they can't help it, they are forced to do this, and if Lowry rests and relies on DeRozan alone, it will be tantamount to giving up this series."

"Or else? No one still thinks the Raptors can win this series, right? ”

If the first game of the Raptors played according to the plan, there is still a chance.

But Lowry is really miserable, he is the engine of the Raptors, the engine is not working, just by stepping on the accelerator, can you drive the car away?

Dream on!

Ahead of Game 3 between the Pacers and Raptors, TNT's three commentators were chatting.

"Shaq, do you want to predict the score?" Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"It's too easy, Kenny, I guess it's a 4-0 sweep." Olney said.

Now that the situation is clear, with two wins on the road, it's almost impossible for the Pacers to roll over.

"The Cavaliers have won three in a row." Kenny Smith said.

According to the schedule, the Pacers and Raptors games are played by the last of the four groups, and by the time they start playing, the other three groups have already finished their games.

On the Cavaliers' side, the further you get to the back, the smoother the play becomes.

In the first game, 104-93, the second, 123-98, and the just-concluded third game 121-108, the Cleveland Cavaliers have beaten the Atlanta Hawks in three consecutive games to lead 3-0.

This is what it really looks like to sweep, just one game away, and it is estimated that the Eagles have no intention of resisting now.

There is no need, it is not good for oneself to harm others.

Everyone is thinking about where to go on vacation now.

Isn't it fragrant for such a long holiday?

Isn't it fragrant to watch Kobe Bryant and Wade post all kinds of travel and play pictures every day?

By the way, when it comes to Kobe, although Xu Xuan did not attend the scene in person in his last regular season game, he still called Kobe Bryant after the game.

The old guy really left the court.

However, Kobe Bryant told Xu Xuan not to forget what he promised.

Xu Xuan was tired.

What the hell is it that I train or you train, why do you seem to be more anxious than me?

......

It didn't go well on the western side.

Lillard did just that, coming back to his home court in Game 120-108 after losing two straight games, beating the Warriors 120-108 to tie the series at 1-2.

In the previous two games, the Warriors won without Curry.

In the first game, the Warriors led by 20 points in the first quarter and did not give the opponent a chance in the whole game. In the second game, the Warriors trailed by double digits in the first quarter and trailed by 17 points at most, but in the fourth quarter they made a comeback and completed the comeback.

In this game, Trail Blazers big man Lillard scored 40 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds on 8-of-13 three-point shooting, Aminu had 23 points and 10 rebounds, CJ McCollum 22 points, Aaron Kraby 10 points and Ed Davis 8 points and 10 rebounds off the bench.

The Trail Blazers played well as a team.

The Warriors failed to come back from a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter, with Claeson scoring 35 points on 5-of-9 three-pointers, Green scoring 37 points, nine rebounds and eight assists on 8-of-12 three-pointers, and Barbossa scoring 10 points off the bench.

When he lost the game, Curry's face was not good-looking.

He was going to make a comeback, but was tried hard to stop him by Cole, resulting in the loss of this game, but the next game, he didn't want to wait!

He doesn't want the Trail Blazers to tie the score at 2-2, he wants to beat them cleanly and prepare for the Western Conference Finals.

Especially with both teams in the East playing so well.

Accidents, there can be, but only once!

In the other game in the West, the Thunder and Spurs played three games and the battle was 1-2, and the Thunder temporarily fell behind.

And here, the third game between the Pacers and the Raptors has finally begun.

No surprises.

Although Lowry was reluctant to continue playing, he was not able to help the team well in the face of extreme fatigue.

It's too difficult for the Raptors to rely on DeRozan to play the system alone.

The Pacers simply shrunk the defense, compressed the space for his mid-range shots, forced him inside or shot threes from the outside, and the Raptors were out of the way.

At the end of the third game, the Pacers led 3-0!

At this time, no one doubts that the 4-0 sweep will be no problem, because Lowry has announced that he will not play in the fourth game due to physical relations, which means that Lowry has indirectly given up the game.

Sure enough, in the fourth game, the Raptors' morale almost collapsed, and they played three quarters hastily, and in the fourth quarter, they were replaced without much resistance and announced their surrender.

So far, the Pacers have played all the semifinals and swept the Toronto Raptors 4-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!
