The last time the Quickloan Center Arena was so lively was last season's finals. Seeing that the Warriors are about to win two consecutive championships, and seeing that the Cleveland people's championship dream is about to be shattered. However, LeBron. With his amazing perseverance and leadership skills, James led the Cavaliers to a shocking comeback.

And this year's Eastern Conference Finals, the situation is very similar to last season. The Cavaliers returned home with a 0-2 score and seemed doomed. However, it was at this moment of crisis that James led the knights to rebound.

An 8-0 opening spur, although no one would think that 8-0 would be enough to kill the mighty Pacers. But at least the Cavaliers showed their determination and form in the opening few shots. As long as the Cavaliers can maintain this momentum, the Pacers have a good chance of landing at the Quickloan Center.

"Keeping the momentum going, it turns out that the Pacers are not unbeatable! Don't forget, we beat them twice during the regular season this year! Keep up and keep winning! ”

At the timeout, the bench on the Cavaliers' side was completely surrounded by James' voice. This pauses Tyronn. Lu didn't set up any tactics, and all the right to speak was snatched away by James.

Now that the Cavaliers are ahead, they naturally don't have to make any tactical changes. Therefore, James turned around and began to beat his teammates hard.

And on the Pacers' bench, everything is going on in an orderly manner. The players sat in a circle, and Henson sat in the middle with a tactical board to write and draw. As he spoke, the players nodded their heads as well.

Even Chris. Paul, who is smart enough to be his own coach, is not distracted. Tyron. Lou and Henson. It's easy to see who has the better control of the team in Joe.

"Listen, I know, the outside world always likes to label you all sorts of things. Role player, blue-collar, three-point shooter...... But these labels are given to you by others, and they don't fully represent you. Forget about these labels and everyone will stand up for me. Whether you win today's game or not is in the hands of all of you! ”

Henson finished speaking, and the timeout was just over. If the Cavaliers want to bloom more, then have fun with them!

"The timeout is over, and the Pacers are the first to make a substitution! As always, Henson coach will Danny. Green was substituted. As we all know, Green is just a fake starter for the Pacers this season, and he will definitely send Oladipo on the court...... "Jeff. Van Gundy was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped.

Because he found out that Henson's replacement was not Oladipo, but the veteran Channing. Fry!

Now, George is playing the second position, Antetokounmpo is relegated to the third position, and Frye is in the fourth position.

Ever since Siakam began to make a name for himself, Channing. Frye's playing time has been very limited. Today, Henson brought Fry on the pitch early, which was clearly a bit out of the ordinary.

Tyron. Lu frowned, and a sense of crisis instantly spread within him. Henson. What the hell does Joe want to do? This sense of uncertainty gave Tyronn a lead of 8 points. Lu Du felt particularly insecure.

On the first offense after the restart, James had to mark Antetokounmpo. And Channing. Frye, on the other hand, simply stood on the outside and didn't run. In desperation, Tristan. Thompson had to follow Frye near the three-point line.

"Do you want to open up space for Antetokounmpo to single?" James thought to himself that he was ready, even if Antetokounmpo wanted to play alone, he would stop him!

However, Henson did not intend to do so at all. He simulated what happened in practice yesterday afternoon, and what would others do if the star didn't have an open shot?

Overwhelmed? No, it's to come forward! As long as the Pacers also play more blossoming performances, they are not afraid of the Cavaliers breaking out!

So, Paul lightly hoisted the ball to Lopez, who was in the position. At that moment, everyone was stunned. Four players pulled on the perimeter, and the ball was actually given to Lopez for a single.

Brooke. Lopez, a 13-year All-Star, was the Nets' center before joining the Pacers.

Last season with the Nets, he averaged 20 points per game. And there's a data that a lot of people don't know, Brooke. Lopez is the second-highest total scoring player in Nets history!

But it's just such a player, due to Henson's tactical needs, this season he has only taken on a space five position, responsible for shooting threes, defending and rebounding. Attacking in the low post? Singles with the ball? Lopez didn't have such an opportunity. Therefore, Lopez's data this season is naturally a big arc decline.

But now, Henson has given Lopez a chance. He believes that Lopez will prove with his performance that a decline in his stats does not mean a decline in strength!

"Lopez low singles?" See Paul distribute the ball like this, Jeff. Van Gundy was shocked. But in fact, Lopez is an interior player with solid offensive skills in the low post, so what is there to surprise him in the low post single?

It's just that most people have forgotten how powerful Lopez used to be.

Against Lefou, Lopez used his skillful back-to-back skills to push two steps back. The rest of the Cavaliers didn't dare to act rashly, and they didn't know whether to pack or stay defensive.

While the Cavaliers players were still struggling, Lopez rolled over and made a jumper.

As a big center forward with a height of 2.13 meters, Lopez already has a height advantage. What's more, his back turn movement is very smooth, not giving Lefu any chance to interfere at all.

Just like that, Lopez's turnaround jumper hit steadily. 8-2, the Pacers relied on Lopez's unexpected low-post single to pull one back.

"This ......" saw Lopez score, James looked confused. What are you doing here, Pacers? They've never attacked like this.

"It's okay, we'll just get the points back!" James continued to boost morale, but Lopez's goal had already shattered the Cavaliers' grip on the situation.

Without a task on the offensive end, Paul, George and Antetokounmpo can focus more on the defensive end. As a result, James was heavily defended by the "Greek monster". His driving layup was beautiful, and if it was a normal forward defending him, James would definitely be able to continue scoring.

It's a pity that Antetokounmpo has never had anything to do with the word "ordinary". He spread a "big net" in the air, seriously interfering with James's shot.

The Cavaliers' offense was interrupted, and Paul immediately held the ball and pushed quickly. But just like in previous rounds, he and the other two stars didn't stand a chance.

So, Paul took the initiative to slow down and then sent the ball to Lopez for the second leg in a row.

"Do you want to come!?"

Jeff. Van Gundy was shocked, if once it was just a coincidence. Then for the second time in a row, it was intentional. Today, Henson deliberately let Lopez make a mistake in the low post!

Van Gundy knows this, and it's impossible for the Cavaliers players not to. Want to kill the game with a role player? Less dreaming!

So, Tristan. Thompson decisively returned to the box to trap Lopez. But Lopez didn't force it and passed the ball to Channing with a hook move. Fry.

"Everyone, stand up!" Frye muttered to himself in his heart, not afraid of Tristan. Thompson responded ferociously, but instead fired decisively at a distance.

James was stunned again, just now it was Lopez, and now it's Channing. Fry. With the Pacers letting their role players go on offense and George, Paul, and Antetokounmpo just watching, what the hell are the Pacers doing?

No matter what they were doing, Frye's goal was solid.

The Pacers hit a three-pointer to make it 8-0 to 8-5 in an instant. And these 5 points were scored by the Pacers' two so-called "role players".

"Damn it!" Tyron. Lue panicked because he didn't make any special defensive set-ups for the rest of the Pacers.

Subsequently, the Cavaliers thought that the inside and outside coordination of Lopez and Frye was Henson's offensive strategy. But after shifting the focus of the attack, it was discovered that George began to play alone with the ball again.

When the Cavaliers' center of gravity shifted to George, Lopez killed the Cavaliers' self-confidence with another low goal.

After entering the rotation time, Taryn. Luben thought Oladipo would be the center of gravity. As a result, Brogdon became the player with the most shots.

Until this time, Taryn. Lu Cai suddenly realized. Henson wasn't prepared to make anyone the center of gravity today, because today, the entire Pacers team is the center of gravity!

In this way, the fans enjoyed a wonderful first quarter of the game. On the Cavaliers' side, everyone had just the right momentum, and the offense was extremely fluid. But the same is true for the Pacers, where Paul, George and Antetokounmpo were heavily defended, while the rest of the team was not unprepared and struggled to carry the team on.

At the end of the first quarter, Paul scored just three points, George had five, and Antetokounmpo had only three points. Under normal circumstances, the Pacers should be behind.

However, the score was 30-30 in the first quarter and the two sides were tied! The Pacers used the performance of all the soldiers to bite the score!

"In the first quarter, everyone on the Pacers seemed to be determined to take on the load! Their collective play made the Cavaliers' defense take care of one or the other. It's rare for the Cavaliers to play such a good game, but they still can't overpower the momentum of the Pacers. ”

"I dare say that Coach Henson was prepared for this kind of play today. But the question is, could Coach Henson predict that the Cavaliers would be ruthless today!? ”

Jeff. Van Gundy asked question after question from the commentary podium, and Henson's strategy seemed nothing short of incredible to him. After all, Van Gundy was originally a manager who was not flexible enough to command on the spot.

Seeing Van Gundy's surprise that Mark had fought with Henson. Jackson smiled.

"His ability to predict is even stronger than you and I think."

In the case of the 0-8 start, the score has been leveled. Next, Henson's plan should be overtaken.

This guy is deadly.
