After Mo Xi's skills were shocked, the Knicks set off another wave of offense, several people threaded needles and threads with each other, borrowing Mo Xi's current deterrent power on the inside, and completely opened up the situation, Houston and Sprewell respectively shot three points from the outside, and Johnson was back on the inside, and began to stir up trouble in the Pacers' restricted area with Mo Xi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Bird couldn't help frowning, he found that once the Pacers' interior line lost its height advantage and could not effectively suppress the Knicks' interior line, the Pacers played obviously very passively, but, height advantage? That would only make Johnson more comfortable.

However, Larry Bird has always been decisive, quite a bit of the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, without hesitation, Bird changed back to the previous Pacers interior lineup, he can't see there, Larry Johnson's way of playing at this time is the same as he was back then, although it has not yet reached the realm, but it has also gained some sincerity.

The Pacers' rapid adjustment immediately stopped the bleeding, you know, now the Knicks are firmly ahead of the Pacers by more than a dozen points, chasing points This kind of thing, you must first be able to prevent the opponent.

The next second step is to attack.

The Pacers' offense pays great attention to passing the ball and covering, which is also because the Pacers have a large number of shooters, so to speak, because the boss is a legendary superstar known for his three-point shooting, in addition to a few traditional four or five positions on the Pacers' side, everyone has a three-point shot that can be taken out of one hand, that is, those traditional four or five positions, and they also have the ability to open up space.

Jalen Rose and Davis block and dismantle, and the Knicks did not change the defense, because Jalen Rose's shooting ability is not particularly outstanding, his offensive style is somewhat similar to Sprewell, and the three-point shot can only be regarded as their unconventional weapon, unless there is no other choice or some completely empty positions, they will choose to shoot three-pointers, otherwise it is more likely to rush directly to the basket.

Houston went around from behind and returned to Jalen Rose, but Houston's physical fitness is obviously not as good as Jalen Rose, how can he be one of the opponents of the famous Michigan Five Tigers with mediocre running and jumping talent, Jalen Rose accelerated twice and instantly passed Houston who was unstable, but Jalen Rose did not choose to insert the basket hard, but suddenly pulled the ball, stopped sharply, and then suddenly turned around and passed the ball to Austin Kloshier, who was 45 degrees on the wing.

Austin Kroshier has some talent, but he is by no means talented, but who expected, he has been in surprisingly good form in the past two years, and he can be said to have made great achievements in the playoffs of the Pacers, and the first game of this series is one of his masterpieces. Austin Kroesschild is a big shooter, six feet nine inches tall, and despite his mediocre athleticism, he has a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40 percent, plus a very good rebounding ball, and can be said to be Bird's favorite player.

Defending him is Sprewell, at this time Sprewell just wants to scold MMP in his heart, as soon as he turns around, Klohill has already received the ball, you know, for such a big shooter who is three inches taller than him, receiving the ball in front of him, then rest assured, it is difficult for Sprewell to be able to effectively interfere with him.

Austin Kroeshire hit a solid three-pointer to stabilize the situation for the Pacers.

Gradually, the situation between the two sides eased up again, and Van Gundy seemed to have some thoughts on his mind, intending to give a few key players a break.

But at this time, it was the Pacers who called a timeout first, and Bird planned to replace Reggie Miller

"Reggie, you have to remember that you're the best shooter on this floor, but how many (threes) are you shooting now? One doesn't, go up and tell them, who is the best shooter, of course, you have to let them remember by the way, the best shooter, not just shoot threes, understand? Bird taught Reggie Miller earnestly, it can be said that Bird is a real mentor to Miller, and since his debut, Reggie Miller's various abilities have been strengthened in the "Larry Bird-style".

Reggie Miller nodded, sitting off the court for four minutes, Miller is now calm again, back to being the cold-blooded killer.

Originally, he wanted to replace Johnson for a rest, but now everyone has replaced his own general, and Van Gundy has the confidence to continue to change, but after thinking about it, Van Gundy hesitated to change people, replacing Sprewell, Johnson went to the third position to defend Kloshier, and Thomas went on the court to play the fourth position.

Van Gundy played wishful thinking, but unexpectedly was completely played by Bird, and Miller replaced not Jalen Rose, who has not stopped playing for a minute, but Klohill, who has just been on the road for a short time.

Where can Johnson keep up with Reggie Miller's run, just a face, Reggie Miller easily threw Johnson away, received the ball from the inside, and hit a three-point shot directly.

The goal was scored, and Miller didn't forget to go to Johnson and shout "Haha, old fat man, you can't run, you can't keep up, you come to chase me, you catch up with me, I'll let you hehehe!" ”

Johnson was furious and said: "Xiaobizaizi, you wait, wait for the game, don't let me block you!" ”

Regardless of whether Johnson can block Miller or not, because Van Gundy made an improper substitution for a while, the Knicks' offense also had some minor problems. Because of the height advantage, it was difficult for Mo Xi to play in the face of Schmitz, and Johnson, who still had an advantage, left the No. 4 position and went to the No. 3 position, and Johnson planned to use the weight advantage to beat Reggie Miller on the inside of the Pacers.

But Reggie Miller is such a treacherous person, back on the defensive end, he directly switched positions with Jalen Rose, with Jalen Rose to defend Johnson, although the weight gap between the two is also quite large, but Jalen Rose can at least hold up until Davis comes over to make up for the defense.

Sure enough, Johnson began to sit and beat Jalen Rose, and when Johnson approached the three-second zone, Davis instantly let go of Thomas and went straight to Johnson.

Johnson sensed someone coming next to him, and did not hesitate, passing the ball back to Charles on the outside. Charles didn't stop the ball and gave it to Houston who ran out on the other side, but Miller is also a good runner, and as soon as Houston turned around, before he could think of shooting, Miller had already stretched out his hand.

Houston blocked Miller's black hand and felt a little difficult to protect the ball, so he took advantage of the situation to give the ball to the low post.

At this time, time was running out, and Mo Xi had no choice but to force a jump shot, but Schmitz's big hand that covered the sky interfered on his head, which was really uncomfortable, and Mo Xi threw the ball.

A few rounds later, Van Gundy made his mistake and hurriedly made another substitution, only by this time the Pacers had chased the score to within 10 points, and the Knicks' psychological advantage was gone.

The Knicks eventually led the Pacers by eight points at 56:48 heading into the second half.
