Steve. Kerr and his players are reluctant to concede a championship, and none of the Pacers players want to be out of shape in Henson's most important game.

Both sides were determined to win and both sides played very well. As a result, the game went on very anxiously.

From the start of the match, Henson took his ultimate lineup. You can see how hungry he is for the victory in this game.

So far in the playoffs this season, the ultimate lineup has only appeared twice. One was against the Pistons in the first round, and the ultimate lineup eliminated the opponent after only five minutes of play.

The second time was in the last game, in the fourth quarter, when the ultimate lineup helped the Pacers tie the 12-point deficit and stage a stunner.

And today, for the first time in the playoffs, the Ultimate Team has been playing since the beginning of the game. Henson is glad he made that decision because the Warriors were so good today. If it weren't for the ultimate lineup, his career might have been extended.

In the first quarter of the game, Stephen. Curry's miraculous three-pointer made the double-serve a tough one. Section 2, Clay. Thompson stepped up. His excellent off-the-ball cuts, combined with Cousins' tacit play, have made this top off-ball attacker a perfect fit.

In the third quarter, Green and Cousins, the two questioned giants, teamed up to play a beautiful game. Green and Cousins' several inside passes and a strong defense allowed the Pacers' offensive momentum to be contained.

And in the fourth quarter, as always, Kevin. Durant began to control the game. In the last game, Durant scored 31 points and hit a key three-pointer, if it weren't for Antetokounmpo's dunk kill, yesterday would have been Durant's night.

So today, the No. 35 forward doesn't want to leave the Pacers any more chances. If the difference is opened up in advance, there will be no so-called key rounds. Without key rounds, there is no chance of a lore!

It's rare to see that all five of the Warriors' superstars are performing very well. But when the Warriors attacked in a devastating wave, they found that in the last minute of the game, the difference was still only 3 points.

"Beautiful three-pointer, P.J. Tucker, this is already his second three-pointer in the bottom corner of the fourth quarter! Antetokounmpo had a beautiful offensive rebound, and I don't know how many times the Pacers have completed a second offense with offensive rebounds today. Their lineup is so balanced that they can't find a weak spot at all! ”

Mike. Brin flailed his arms excitedly, and the Pacers narrowly escaped once again.

As he said, the Pacers' roster is too balanced to find any weaknesses at all. Because of this, the Warriors have not been able to kill the game.

Whenever the Pacers are about to fall off a cliff, they always come back to life in a variety of ways.

Tucker's three-pointer put the Pacers down by just three points in the final minute of the game. The next defense is extremely important for the Pacers.

But the Pacers players weren't nervous because Henson had everything already arranged.

Curry had just passed half time possession when he was pressed by Siakam. I have to say that Siakam's physical condition has brought very strong pressure to Curry. Although Curry has made 5 of 7 three-pointers today, it doesn't mean that he can do whatever he wants.

Seeing that he didn't get a chance, Curry chose to pass. Use Siakam to lead Curry, which is Henson's first line of defense.

Antetokounmpo and Tucker then put a lot of pressure on Cousins and Green, respectively, to keep them from getting close to the basket. Tucker and Antetokounmpo are both forwards, but they don't fall behind in the confrontation with the Warriors' interior line, which is Henson's second line of defense.

Curry, Cousins, and Green were all denied a chance, and the basketball naturally went to Durant. And defending Durant is still Paul. George.

Although Durant's scoring is still not low today, George still plays a certain limiting role. Against a scorer of Durant's calibre, as long as he can reduce his scoring efficiency appropriately, he will be thankful.

Durant holds the ball and prepares to play alone, only to find that Klay. Thompson ran out. Compared with going it alone, it is natural that there is a greater chance of scoring a goal!

Defending Klay is Kuzma, who is considered the Pacers' biggest hole on the defensive end.

And it is not for nothing that Henson let Kuzma, who has the weakest defense, target Klay. Although Klay scored 8 points in the second quarter, most of the points were scored by easy layups after cutting. His shooting touch today was actually very average, especially in the second half. So far in the fourth quarter, Clay has missed three consecutive shots.

Either because of the huge physical exertion that affected Clay's accuracy, or the guy himself didn't feel good today. Whatever the reason, Clay wasn't consistent enough from three-point range today, and that's the result.

So, Henson can safely let Kuzma keep an eye on Klay.

What's more, under the effect of Henson's progress acceleration badge, Kuzma's defense is actually not as unbearable as people remember.

Catch, adjust, shoot. Clay. Thompson's shot was very decisive and unobtrusive.

But Kuzma blocked it in time, after all, this guy's enthusiasm is there. And at the end of the fourth quarter, Clay's physical strength was also nearly exhausted.

In such a situation, it is not easy to hit from a distance. As a result, the three-point shot that could have killed the game stumbled out of the frame. P.J. Tucker picked up his 13th rebound of the day, and Henson used up the last timeout!

"Bogdanovic, you replace Kyle. Kuzma! Three-pointer, we need to chase a three-pointer! Tucker makes an off-ball screen and then runs to the corner to draw the defender. George breaks through and Antetokounmpo answers. After they forget about Bogdanovic, bang! We'll be able to equalize! ”

Henson made the most of every minute of the timeout as it was his final game, but when the game began, Henson found that he didn't have that much distraction on his mind.

He just wants to win, which he thinks is the most fascinating thing about the game of basketball.

Henson's setup worked, and when George broke through with the ball and Tucker ran to the bottom corner, everyone on the Warriors thought George was going to give the ball to Tucker. After all, the "interior player" who is less than 2 meters tall has already made the Warriors suffer a lot in the fourth quarter.

But on the forgotten right side, Bogdanovic received the basketball. This anti-aircraft turret shooting rate of more than 40% in the playoffs can be maintained above 40%, and the three-point shot is aimed at and fired, and the three-point shot is in the net.

With 39 seconds left in the game, the Pacers equalized and landed!

At that moment, the whole banker's life arena shook. Cole covered his head with his hands in annoyance.

Once again, their team missed the chance to finish the game. And such mistakes are often unforgivable and costly.

"Enter, Bojan. Bogdanovic, hit the key three points as soon as he got on the court! Or we can also say that Coach Henson's tactics and personnel adjustments have paid off as soon as they get on the field! That's how a great coach can control the game! ”

At this point, neither side took a timeout, so the Warriors' next offense was a little flustered.

The Pacers, on the other hand, followed Henson's instructions and insisted on a strategy of infinite defensive turnovers. As a result, the Warriors' pick-and-roll and air cuts are useless.

In the end, Durant wanted to end the game with a strong shot. But he failed again, Paul. George wouldn't allow that to happen.

In the last seven seconds of the game, the two sides were still tied. In the stands, the fans were already enthusiastic, ready to hold up signs that read "Thank you, Henson" to bid farewell to the legendary manager and usher in the championship.

But don't forget, the Warriors are just as hungry to win!

In the final moments of the game, Antetokounmpo's breakaway layup was blocked out of bounds by Cousins. No one knows when Cousins came in, and he's one of the few players who can block Antetokounmpo in the playoffs this season.

Although the basketball is out of bounds, the ball still belongs to the Pacers. But at this point, with only 1.3 seconds left before the end of the game, the Pacers players had to shoot as soon as they received the ball.

Cole's heart was beating wildly, and it was as if he was on a round-trip train from hell to heaven. One second hell, the next second rebirth.

At this point, Henson still had several ways to finish the game, but there was no timeout. He wanted to repeat his old tricks, so he walked to the sideline with a glass of water, ready to let the players hit him, so as to interrupt the game, and then take the opportunity to set up his tactics.

But alas, the referee noticed Henson's behavior and gave him a warning. As a result, Henson's small actions had to be stopped.

In the end, under the close defense of the Warriors, the Pacers made a direct sideline ball error.

The moment Green made the steal, the electronic beep sounded. 108-108, the two sides drawn, and this year's finals went into overtime for the first time!

The signs that the fans were supposed to hold up were put down again, and in overtime, no one thought that this would be the end result. Both the Warriors and Pacers are in great form, and the performances of both sides are indeed evenly matched.

Steve. Kerr did, and he did extend Henson's career.

Henson pouted, the Warriors' willpower is really tenacious. The ultimate lineup started and didn't kill them.

It seems that my mission is not over yet.
