"The Pacers played epic offense and defense in the first quarter, and I'm going to say it right now, this game is over, it's over!"

Reggie Miller "shamelessly" shouted "It's over" during the first and second quarter breaks.

The Pacers' performance in the first quarter was indeed very shocking, 40:15, a 25-point advantage, almost crippled the Bulls.

If the Bulls were the kind of offensive team with accurate three-point accuracy, they would have saved themselves from trailing by 25 points in the first quarter.

But the Bulls don't have that kind of hard power, and they played really badly in the first quarter, the kind of bad performance from the court to the mental state.

The TV station gave the game data of the two teams in the first quarter.

The Pacers shot 65 percent from the field in the first quarter, while the Bulls shot a measly 30 percent, less than half as much as the Pacers.

Moreover, the Bulls missed a single three-pointer in the first quarter, and the offense was scattered.

The outside line didn't dare to shoot, the inside line couldn't rush in, the mistakes were repeated, and the free throws didn't go in.

It makes people wonder if this bull has changed from the last game.

If you look at the starting lineup, it's exactly the same as the last game.

It can only be said that in the playoffs, every game will have a different situation, and no game will be repeated according to the script.

After the start of the second quarter, the second teams of the two sides faced off on the court.

The Bulls were replaced with Aaron Brooks, a black bean, and the Pacers were led by Garnett, David West, Stephenson and others.

Truth be told, the Pacers' second lineup is still superior to the Bulls.

However, the second team often does not look at the whole, but at the part.

It is to see if there is a particularly outstanding point that can be played in a short period of time and give the opponent a quick and effective blow in the transition stage.

In this regard, the Pacers are lacking, they don't have that kind of microwave-type player.

Stephenson can give quick, effective blows, but it is his own people who often hit them.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Stephenson pulled out a three-pointer from the outside and missed a shot.

Brooks got the rebound, a long pass to Gibson who came to the frontcourt, and Jebson received the ball and dunked directly.

It's Gibson again, and the only normal point for the Bulls tonight is Gibson.

However, the Pacers have David West and Garnett in the two spots after all.

West blocked high and went down, received Sloan's pass, and made a layup that caused a foul on the opponent.

On the free throw line, he hit both free throws, and West's free throws were very stable.

Now, the inside line of the Pacers is the second elder Xuan Ming.

Li Liang once cooperated with the two elders of the outside line, Kobe + Nash, and now West and Garnett.

The two of them attack and defend, although they are a little older, and their playing style is a little behind the times, but with them, it is very difficult for the Bulls to set off a wave of counterattacks.

Brooks tried to break through from the right and was blocked by Garnett and almost missed.

However, Brooks stumbled and passed the ball to Rose, who was squatting on the outside, and Rose took the ball and pulled out a three-point shot, and finally scored!

The Bulls finally hit the first three-pointer of the game.

In the NBA right now, you can't shoot threes, you can't shoot threes, it's so hard to win.

Rose's three-pointer eased the pressure on the Bulls while giving the Pacers a warning.

It's only the second quarter, and there's still a long way to go.

Garnett immediately received the pass in the high post and hit a mid-range jumper.

The Pacers have two mid-range interior lines, enough for the Bulls to drink a pot.

Subsequently, Garnett hated Brusk again in defense!

Brooks tried to force a shot against Sloan in the three-second zone, but was slapped down by Garnett.

Garnett's block wasn't that of a volleyball cap, he just rubbed his fingertips on the ball, changing its trajectory and landing right on his hand.

By the time Garnett got the ball, Stephenson was already on his way.

Garnett saw that there was a chance, and a super long pass was given to the front court again!

This time, Stephenson didn't waste the opportunity, and after receiving the ball, he stepped directly to the basket and scored!

This kind of ball is generally not easy to pass, after all, the risk of being broken is too high.

But in this case, the courage to pass the ball is much greater.

"Nice pass! A guided long pass from Kevin Garnett! They completed the fit that was not done in the first quarter! ”

Reggie Miller excitedly ignored his status as a guest commentator and began to applaud the Pacers' unstoppable offense.

This time, Garnett was finally able to give Stephenson a high-five.

The point difference is getting wider and wider, and the bull is in danger.

At this time, it was Ross who stepped up.

In addition to just contributing a three-pointer, he broke through the basket twice in a row, forced his speed to shake off Garnett, threw a throw, and scored once from mid-range.

The rose, which has been tormented by injuries and diseases, is still blooming tenaciously.

Of course, Rose's body is not as good as before, and his explosiveness and change of direction have been reduced after the injury.

Therefore, he still relies more on skill and willpower to support on the court, and the Bulls have no Rose, no matter how flowery and tough they seem to play, they will never be included in the ranks of championship contenders.

Rose scored seven points in a row.

Thibodeau is also a thief, he replaced Rose in the middle of the first quarter, and let Rose play with the second team at the beginning of the second quarter, just misplaced against the Pacers' bench, and with Aaron Brooks, Rose can play point guard and focus more on chasing points.

The Bulls were slightly closer.

David West then drew another foul in the low post and went to the free throw line.

That's when Bird knew it was time to replace Garnett.

Garnett was already sweating profusely, and although his physique was sweating wildly as soon as he exercised, he was already 40 years old, and it was enough to play for so much in the first half.

Li Liang re-entered the game, and he was replaced by Bird as a center forward.

Li Liang felt reluctant, although he started the No. 4 position in the first quarter, but in fact, he played and played the No. 3 position on the offensive end, which can be said to be very effective.

"Larry, let McGee get on, let McGee get on too."

"McGee take a break a little longer, let McGee rest again."

"He's been resting for a while! Can't you just let me rest more? ”

"You're well paid."

Bird's words were choked back by Li Liang.

Damn, when I was at the lowest salary in the Lakers, I didn't say let me play less?

Li Liang could only re-enter the field, and ran to the center position to top the cylinder.

The reason why Bird didn't go to McGee was mainly because he trusted Li Liang more.

He hopes the team can extend the advantage even further.

If it's a lead of more than 20 points in the third or fourth quarter, it's basically stable.

It's the first quarter, which is the most unstable, and the rest of the game is very long, and there are still a lot of variables.

So Li Liang went up to nail the coffin board of the bull firmly.

As soon as Li Liang came on the court, the defensive end immediately contributed a steal, and his defensive intensity, Rose couldn't adapt to it for a while.

As a result, after changing defenses, Li Liang broke the ball directly from Rose's hand, and then made a long pass to the front court, and Granger received the ball and dunked under the basket!

The Pacers' fast-break games tonight may add up more than all four games of the previous round combined.

But Ross immediately responded with his own.

He continued to hold the ball in the middle, continued to call for blocking, or a face-to-face duel with Li Liang.

This time Rose accelerated, followed by a strong change of direction, crossover past Li Liang, hit the basket in the middle, protected the ball, and then made a right-handed layup!

It felt like it had almost drained Ross of the energy he had been building up for a long time.

The stop-and-go change of direction after a high-speed breakaway earned him the MVP and ruined his knees.

When needed, he can still get up quickly, and he can still turn to a layup without slowing down, but he can't use it often.

Even Reggie Miller exclaimed, "Crossover! Crossover！ Derrick Rose, the ball is really back, it's back. ”

No one noticed that Li Liang silently recited the phrase "ball blind dissolver" in his mouth before defending Rose.

Well, he decided that he wanted his way to govern his body, and to make a move to change the stars!
