Bird is clearly right about Curry's role in the Warriors, and he's the real core that drives the Warriors as a team.

But Bird is still a little underestimated about Klay Thompson's explosiveness in offense.

It would be a very dangerous thing for Thompson to find his touch in the game.

In the first quarter of the game, Thompson played most of the quarter and scored 9 points, and the offensive efficiency on both sides was not high.

The Warriors scored 19 points in the quarter, while the Pacers scored even less, with 18 points.

In other words, Klay Thompson alone scored half of the Pacers' entire team.

Of course, such a low-scoring pace of the game is what the Pacers love.

The last one hit nearly 120 points is purely coincidental, if there is a similarity, it is because someone opened it.

Li Liang wanted to hang up tonight, but Thompson defended him strictly in the first quarter, played concisely and efficiently on the offensive end, and spared no effort on the defensive end, and was called the most critical figure on both ends of the Warriors' offensive and defensive ends.

After the start of the second quarter, Li Liang sat on the sidelines to rest, and the offensive dominance of the Pacers was given to Stephenson again.

As a result, as soon as Finsen came on the court, it was a mistake to break through with the ball......

He tried to burst inside and pass the ball to Garnett, but the Warriors' excellent coverage defense blocked Finson tightly, which eventually led to Stephenson's turnover.

The Warriors' defense is different from that of the teams in the East, and the intensity may not be as great, but the overall stretch and coverage are quite good, especially the bag jacket is very good.

Stephenson's ball is too taken for granted, in the first game he burst very smoothly, because the Warriors in order to prevent three points, the breakthrough to adopt a strategy of less packing, this Kerr changed, more bags and more rotations, the speed is fast, plus the Pacers tonight three points are not accurate, the score is naturally not high.

However, the Pacers' defense is no worse either.

insisted on man-to-man defense, so that the Warriors' second team's passing, cutting, blocking and dismantling basically had no chances.

In the end, Speights took the ball, stepped back in the face of West's defense, and threw it to the basket without touching it.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the offense on both sides was quite ugly.

It took almost three minutes before the first score was scored.

Westka was in front of the three-second zone, and after receiving the ball, he turned around and scored a pick-up with his right hand to overtake the score, 20-19.

The score in this game is really low enough.

By this time, Klay Thompson had re-entered the game.

As soon as he came on the court, he hit a three-point shot at the top of the arc and hit it!

20:22。

The second three-pointer he hit tonight, Thompson's three-pointer is not like Curry will drag a lot of people to follow, he just catches the ball and throws it, enters it, and pulls it down if he doesn't go in.

Subsequently, Iguodala made a steal on Stephenson in defense!

The Warriors countered, the Pacers stepped back quickly, and Shambaugh pulled the ball back from Iguodala.

Both sides are showing mistakes, and tonight there were obviously a lot more mistakes than the last one.

Iguodala fouled in order to stop Shambaugh from countering.

Bird pointed at Li Liang and said, "It's on, Bruce." ”

"I think I can rest a little longer."

Li Liang now learned to bargain with Bird, but with that in his mouth, he still took off his sports jacket and took the opportunity to stop the ball for a foul and re-enter the game.

As soon as Li Liang returned to the court, the atmosphere on the court and on the scene was different.

I could feel that there was a clear sense of nervousness among the Warriors fans at the scene, as if the monster was back.

In fact, Li Liang has only scored 2 points tonight, and the three-point shot has not yet opened.

The Warriors' defense of him is undoubtedly relatively successful, of course, Kerr himself does not dare to think so, because it can be seen that Li Liang is different from the last game, and he is obviously staying at the beginning.

And the rest of the Pacers players feel a lot better after the baptism of the last game.

Although the offense is still so-so, the defense can be relied on to defend the Warriors from being so-so.

Li Liang replaced Stephenson, and Finson didn't play the role of a surprise player tonight, looking rather frustrated.

As soon as Li Liang came on the court, the Warriors' side immediately faced a big enemy, and the player who defended Li Liang became Iguodala.

As soon as Li Liang got the ball, Iguodala immediately posted it, Li Liang distributed the ball to JR-Smith on the wing, Smith held the ball and burst out, and made a spinning top layup in the air, but the ball also turned twice on the basket, but it still didn't go in......

The Warriors got the rebound and wanted to fight back, but the ball came out too quickly and was stealed by Li Liang!

After the ball was broken, Li Liang made a quick pass to Smith under the basket, and Smith easily made an empty basket.

“Shit!”

Cole couldn't help but curse on the sidelines, the ball had been defended very well, but Li Liang still caught the loophole and stole two points.

Take these two points, and it feels like the heart of the whole walker is certain.

Then, Thompson scored again, he received the ball in the low post on the left side and singled JR, stepped back with a little backward jumper, and hit!

To be honest, in terms of the richness of the shooting skill, Thompson is even better than Curry.

Curry is watching the game from the sidelines right now.

Then, the Pacers made another mistake on offense, and the Warriors counterattacked.

This time their counterattack finally came out, Iguodala received the ball under the basket and passed it back to Livingston who followed in the middle, and Livingston dunked with both hands!

At 22:26, the Warriors led by four points.

The atmosphere of the oracle felt a little ignited.

Then Li Liang used Garnett's blocking and dismantling in the attack, and the left side was 45 degrees and the three shots were shot......

A basin of cold water is poured down, and it is really cold.

The fear of being dominated by Li Liang's three points in the last game struck again.

However, Thompson responded immediately, came out to catch the ball, used Bogut's cover, dribbled to the middle, and made a stop-and-go jump shot!

Thompson erupted tonight, hitting consecutive shots, and the Pacers still had no intention of defending him in a special way, insisting on letting JR Smith play a single defense.

The offense on both sides was still bad, and JR Smith missed a three-point shot from a pass from Li Liang.

Then Thompson got the rebound, held the ball himself across the half court, and didn't make a three-point shot.

The Pacers made another mistake on the counterattack - the Pacers made quite a few mistakes tonight, and the Warriors choked the Pacers' passing lanes to death.

But the Warriors' counterattack couldn't be played, and the ball went around around the perimeter before finally forcing it into Bogut's hand, and a layup caused Garnett's foul.

Halfway through the second quarter, Curry was still sitting off the court.

If it weren't for this foul, the two sides would have entered an official timeout, and it is estimated that Curry would have been able to watch the game for a while.

It's not that Kerr doesn't pay attention to Curry, but Kerr thinks that if Curry has a good rest, he will lead the team to open up the score difference and play an advantage when he plays.

It's beautiful to think about.

After the official timeout, the main players on both sides returned to the field.

Curry is back on the court, and so far tonight, Curry has been a "secondary point" on the court.

Bogut hit both free throws, but Li Liang immediately returned the color, and after breaking through in the middle, he attracted the bag and gave the ball to Granger on the wing, and Granger received the ball and hit a three-point shot!

A three-point goal, a three-point assist, and the score was tied.

Then, the Pacers defended a 24-second offensive violation by the Warriors.

The whole game is slowly being substituted into the rhythm that walkers are used to.

28:28 Tie.

Li Liang had a hunch that the time had come to break the balance of the game.

He held the ball in the high post, called McGee's blocking, used the skill [Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong], pretended to shoot three points, but actually worshiped the Buddha and hit the inside, and made a stop-and-go jump shot, which not only hit two points, but also caused Bogut's foul.

To be honest, in Li Liang's opinion, Bogut can retire.

After playing the first game, coupled with watching the video repeatedly, Li Liang probably knew the number and rhythm of Bogut's defense.

He has completely lost the sense of imposing at the beginning of the first game, and his opponents already know his defensive weaknesses.

It's just that the footsteps and movements can't keep up with his consciousness, you have to be faster than him, fierce, don't dodge, basically don't be afraid of him.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Liangjia hit a free throw, 31:28, leading by 3 points.

Then, after Curry repeatedly covered on the outside, he shot three-pointers, and still didn't score!

Li Liang got the rebound, held the ball and quickly counterattacked, he pretended to observe his teammates' runs, but he burst in from the right side, suddenly hit the baseline, and then made a quick stop jump shot - this trick was taught to Li Liang by Livingston when he was with the Clippers.

Another close-range pull-up jumper scored 2 points, 33:28, and the margin came to 5 points.

5 points, a fatal lead.

Cole saw that the situation was not good and called a timeout.
