1185. Clocking in at half-time
In the last game against the Hawks, Tinsley didn't feel Liu's stronger defense, and the last time in the regular season, when the Pacers' three first-class stars were each looking down on each other, and he didn't have many opportunities to carry the ball there.
But this time Tinsley felt it!
People don't care about the change of direction of his feints at all, and he can keep up with the pace even if he slows down.
It was the Pacers' turn to attack, and Tinsley handed the ball to Artest after halftime, Tinsley was the kind of point guard who was at the peak of his debut, and he had the highest number of assists in his rookie season, when Reggie Miller was still there, and Brad Miller and others, but now the number of assists is getting fewer and fewer, and none of the Pacers Samsung is a running pitcher.
Artest received the ball and wanted to crush Maddie with his body, but Maddie pushed up violently and was squeezed away and clinged to it.
Artest didn't get rid of Maddy, and when he forced his way to within the free throw line, Prince got caught up from Anthony Johnson in the bottom corner, and Artest did a good job of distributing the ball as long as he could see people, and passed towards Anthony Johnson.
But Artest has a big gap with LeBron James, who is comparable to his physical fitness at the peak of his body, that is, he has hard hands, and has the same shortcomings as Josh Smith, that is, he needs to see people first and pass them later, and he does not have James's ability to predict.
When Anthony Johnson received the ball, Liu Mang had already rushed past the top arc.
Anthony Johnson could only be given to Tinsley, who ran to a 45-degree angle to the left.
Tinsley couldn't be sudden at this time, in the middle of the straight line between him and the basket, there were Artest, Prince, and Maddy, and Kwame Brown was fighting fiercely with O'Neal Jr., and Tinsley had no choice but to shoot three-pointers...... Tinsley, who played 70 games in the regular season this season and only made a total of 28 three-pointers, shot a three-pointer!
The ball falls directly to the basket and Rasheed Wallace catches the ball!
Rasheed Wallace quickly passed the ball to Liu Mang, who ran to the free throw line to catch the ball at the first time, and Liu Mang received the ball and advanced it himself to counterattack!
It's so fast!
Today's Liu Mang played very actively, and after rushing out of the three-point line to surpass Tinsley, he was triggered by a single ride!
Liu Mang, whose speed evaluation soared to 99, rushed forward, and Tinsley wanted to chase it, but found that the distance was getting bigger and bigger!
Liu Mang rushed to the front court, took a step into the free throw line and jumped high......
"Ding...... Fancy dunk level 5 trigger ......"
Liu Mang pulled his body into a bow, quickly slid through the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
The sound of the dunk was crisp, and when Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket, his hand touched the basket and fell to the ground, without any extra movements.
Neat!
"Ding...... After completing the Tomahawk slam dunk, the morale of the host team is greatly increased, and the morale of the opponent team is hit. ”
Liu Mang threw in a three-pointer and a counter-attack dunk, plus a dunk that guided Maddie to pass the ball to Kwame Brown, and the Hawks went on a wave of 8-0!
The Pacers called a timeout!
Although the game had only been two minutes into the game, Coach Carlisle could only call a timeout.
If you don't call a timeout, it's over!
The Pacers players were already confused, completely different from what they expected, and there was a feeling that they had no power to fight back at all!
The opponent's defense was fierce and active, and the offense played so well, scoring 8 points on three consecutive shots, while they didn't score a point!
At the time of the pause, the Pacers made a substitution, originally wanted to use Stephen Jackson as the sixth man, but now found that there is no single scorer on the outside, Artest is the kind of player who needs to open up space to one-on-one heads-up crushing, Prince doesn't care about Anthony Johnson at all, and goes directly to pinch Artest, which gives Liu Mang the opportunity to quickly change the defense and put Tinsley in an uncomfortable receiving area, Liu Mang uses the high-speed wheel conversion defense to press the rhythm of the Pacers, Leaving Tinsley and Anthony Johnson on edge and making irrational choices.
Mike Woodson's defense was finally played today!
……
After the timeout, the Hawks did not make substitutions, but emphasized the defense, the focus was on defense, and the last game was scored by the Pacers with 109 points, which was unacceptable for the Hawks.
The Pacers, for their part, fielded three of the best A-list stars, plus a lineup of Tinsley and Foster.
The Pacers attack.
O'Neal Jr. was ruthless, and after receiving a pass from Tinsley in the middle distance, he rushed to the basket under the defense of Kwame Brown, squeezed Kwame Brown and forced a throw, and the ball hit the basket and bounced into the frame.
Finally a goal!
However, this style of play is too tiring, Kwame Brown's weight of 120 kilograms is more than a dozen kilograms compared to O'Neal Jr.'s weight of 105 kilograms.
When the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang and Maddy blocked and dismantled, and then faced Stephen Jackson, who pounced, and shot a three-point shot......
Stephen Jackson wanted to cry so much, why did Liu Mang block and dismantle Maddie when he came on the court?
Liu Mang saw him do it once and again!
What made Stephen Jackson feel a little more comfortable was that Liu Mang's three-point shot was crooked.
But Kwame Brown under the basket was hit just now, this time very positively, judging the direction of the ball bounce, jumping high, and pressing the ball back to the basket through the card position O'Neal Jr.!
And O'Neal Jr. pushed Kwame Brown, the referee's whistle blew, the goal was valid, and O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound and fouled!
After Kwame Brown landed, he roared at O'Neal Jr.!
When Kwame Brown was singled by O'Neal Jr. just now, the cheers at the scene were muffled, and now they are detonated again!
Luckily, Kwame Brown went to the free throw line and hit the free throw!
11-2, the Hawks lead by 9 points!
Confident, resolute, decisive, hardworking, desperate......
The Pacers players felt all positive energy from the Hawks players today!
Unlike the last game, the Eagles gave them the feeling of carelessness, pride, relaxation, wanting to tease them......
Today the Hawks played very focused, treating the Pacers as an opponent who needed to fight hard to win, and from the very beginning of the game, the Pacers players felt fear!
The Pacers players now have a feeling that they are going to collapse: in the last game, they didn't play well at all?
……
40-17 in the first quarter!
Liu Mang scored 13 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, Kwame Brown got 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, Maddie got 3 points, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and the Pacers only scored 17 points!
In the last game, the Hawks were scored 39 points in the third quarter by the Pacers, setting a new record for the Pacers' single-quarter score in the playoffs.
After the first quarter, the lead in the single quarter was 23 points!
The Pacers didn't give up in the second quarter of the game and continued to send their main team, and they wanted to fight.
The Hawks are always on the side, Liu Mang, Maddy, Jason Terry, and Korver always have two of them on the court, Prince and Iguodala are always on the court, and the combination of Rashid Wallace, Josh Smith, Kwame Brown, and Mourning on the inside takes turns.
The Pacers don't want to give up, Liu Mang is going to beat them until they have to give up!
There is no need to deliberately think about passing, Maddy's side does not need to deliberately score more, Jason Terry still plays how he wants, and the Hawks play the inside......
Although Artest and O'Neal Jr. worked hard to score 15 points in the second quarter and led the Pacers to 23 points in a single quarter, the Hawks scored 31 points in a single quarter!
At halftime, the Hawks were 71-40 and stretched the margin to 29 points!
In the third quarter, the Pacers completely collapsed, in the third quarter of the game, the largest gap between the strength of the strong team and the weak team, the Hawks sent Jason Terry, Maddy, Iguodala, Josh Smith, Rasheed Wallace's lineup, played the first half of the fight after half the physical began to decline sharply O'Neal Jr. and the defense Although the offensive performance today is not as stable as the last game, Artest's Pacers are 23-9!
The Pacers completely collapsed in the third quarter, scoring only 9 points in a single quarter!
At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were 94-49 and led by 45 points!
Crush!
The Hawks completely crush the Pacers!
……
With only 49 points in the third quarter, the Pacers players had an emotional breakdown!
I don't even have the heart to fight.
In the last game, the Hawks' loose style of play gave the Pacers hope.
Now the Pacers players just want to ask: Why give us hope?
In the fourth quarter, all of the Hawks' main players were replaced, and a lineup of Calderon, Iguodala, Horry, Josh Smith, and Mourning was sent to play casually.
If it weren't for Barry, Granger, and David Lee not making the 12-man squad, Coach Kruger wouldn't even want to be replaced by Iguodala and Josh Smith and Calderon.
In the end, the Hawks scored only 20 points in the final quarter, but the Pacers also scored only 22 points in the final quarter.
114-71, the Hawks slaughtered the Pacers by 43 points and avenged the last game!
Liu Mang only played the first half, played 21 minutes and got 23 points and 6 assists, and clocked out at halftime!
Maddy played 28 minutes and had 14 points and seven assists, Jason Terry had 17 points, Kwame Brown had 18 points and 11 boards, Korver had 11 points, and Josh Smith had 12 points, seven boards and four assists......
The Hawks scored 6 double-doubles to slaughter the Pacers!
The Eagles were cheering all day today, but luckily the next two games were played away from home, otherwise they really don't know if there would be a voice to cheer for in the next game.
The feeling of revenge makes the fans feel so good!
The host of CNN, who broadcast the game live, began to rejoice within a few minutes of the game, and did not taunt the Hawks for losing the first game as the boss said, otherwise his face would be smashed.
Once again, the Eagles proved a truth in the league today...... Don't offend the Eagles!
These people are all stingy!
