Kyle. Lowry came to Indianapolis with great ambitions, and he originally hoped that he could replace Paul as the No. 1 point guard in the East — and in Lowry's view, Irving is not a pure "point guard."

While beating Paul, he won the next big contract for himself by the way.

However, the reality was like a slap in the face, which woke Lori up in an instant. Chris. An athlete of Paul's caliber is not something you can beat by gritting your teeth.

Although the first quarter was only seven minutes long, Lowry still had a long way to change that. But Paul's actions had already undermined Lowry's confidence.

The same thing happened to Raptors coach Devin. With Casey, the Pacers led him by seven points in just seven minutes. And it seems that Henson is going to replace Siakam immediately.

Siakam, it's almost German. Casey's last fig leaf. If Henson lets Siakam play well as well, Devin. Casey will undoubtedly be disgraced.

Kathy looked at Kevin. Rooney and Patrick. Patterson, still feeling a little uneasy. So, he decided to keep Ibaka present. He believes that Siakam, no matter how magical he is, cannot be a match for Ibaka.

After all, Ibaka's strength is well known. During the Thunder period, he was already the most feared defensive gate on the team. Today, although Ibaka is not as athletic as he was back then, he has developed a good three-point shot. There's no doubt that in Casey's mind, he's an upgraded version of Siakam.

"Look at that kid, I don't want him to get any shot! He's just a rookie, nothing to be afraid of! "Devon. Casey's tone was tough, but it was more about fear.

He didn't want his last fig leaf to be removed.

Ibaka nodded slightly, when he joined the Raptors, Siakam had already been traded. So, he didn't know much about Siakam's situation. However, according to his teammates, the guy used to play NBDL, so Ibaka let his guard down a bit.

After the timeout, Devin. Casey stood nervously on the sidelines. Henson, on the other hand, sat leisurely back on the bench and Ibaka may be able to defend against Siakam now, but will he be able to play all 48 minutes?

Henson smiled, Devon. Casey changed his rotation strategy for Siakam, and it actually fell into his rhythm.

The Raptors attacked for the first time, and Ibaka sat inside and beat Siakam.

I have to admit that Ibaka is better than Siakam in terms of confrontation ability and tonnage. He was stunned to use a traditional No. 4 position to score a goal by hard chiseling into the inside.

German. Casey breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Siakam couldn't open it, the morale of the Raptors and his own morale would at least not fall to the bottom.

He smug a look at the bench in the other half, and Henson wanted to hit himself with Siakam. But in the end, he will only be planted in his own hands!

To Casey's surprise, though, there was no anger or surprise on Henson's face.

It's like......

It's as if Ibaka could score because Henson allowed him to score.

The game went on and Ibaka continued his performances. After the first quarter, Serge Ibaka hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner and set the court on fire with a slam dunk after cutting in.

Siakam, on the other hand, didn't score a point under Ibaka's defense, let alone score, and he didn't even have much chance to hold the ball.

At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors only trailed by 6 points, which was a bite of the point difference.

"The Raptors' resistance was very tough, Sergi. The role of Ibaka is vividly manifested. Siakam is still too tender in front of Ibaka! "Kenny. Smith applauded Ibaka frequently, after Lowry didn't score a point in the first quarter. If it weren't for Ibaka's excellent performance, the Raptors would probably be behind by double digits.

Ibaka did a great job, but few people noticed that Ibaka played 11 minutes in the first quarter......

Henson remembers this very well, Siakam was suppressed by Ibaka, and it was in his plan. Come to think of it, if an inside player like Ibaka, who has a history of serious injuries, plays for so long, Ibaka will miss at least half of the game in the second quarter.

So when the time comes, who will the Raptors use to protect the rim, and who will they use to guard Antetokounmpo and Siakam?

"Pascal, I need you to keep playing in the second quarter. Janis, you play the number three position. Everybody remember, give me a hit on the Raptors' interior! Use your breakthrough to pull the score away! ”

Henson waved his hand and began to call the shots. The end of the first quarter of the game means that the time when the score difference is close should also be over.

※※※

Siakam felt that Henson was very much like his father, and although the two men had completely different skin colors, their attitudes towards themselves were very similar.

Siakam couldn't believe he would have become a professional footballer if he hadn't had his father's encouragement. It's as if Siakam can't imagine where he would be now if it weren't for Henson.

So, he was willing to listen to Henson. Even if Henson's task in the first quarter of the game was to attract firepower.

But when Siakam came back on the pitch, there was a fire burning in his eyes. Because of this section, he will no longer succumb to being a bait. Henson's goal is to pull away from the score, and he will make the Raptors regret their decision in the second quarter!

After the start of the second quarter, neither the Raptors nor the Pacers kept their starting lineups. The Raptors had to replace Ibaka, who played 11 minutes, with Looney. And the Pacers, on the other hand, still haven't replaced Siakam!

Right now, the Pacers' on-court lineup is Paul, George, Antetokounmpo, Siakam and Lopez.

In the first quarter of the game, Siakam was almost a little transparent and didn't show anything. So, people wonder why Henson continues to use Siakam.

German. Casey couldn't understand it either, but soon, he would have an answer.

'Neither manager kept the starting line-up and it was clear that the game didn't go as they expected.

"No," said Kenny. As soon as Smith finished speaking, Barkley denied him, "The game just didn't follow the German language. Casey's plan just went ahead. But Henson ...... He's in control. ”

Before you know it, Henson is already in Devon. Casey plugged in the line behind him. Now his every move is under Henson's control.

In Ibaka's absence, Henson happened to take Siakam and Antetokounmpo at the same time...... Let's hope the baskets at the Bankers' Living Arena are sturdy enough.

In the first ball of the opening game of the second quarter, Antetokounmpo staged a slam dunk!

"Brilliant Lithuanian, he has worked very hard. But the cruel thing is that his efforts are all in vain in the end! Antetokounmpo's physical condition is so enviable that Valanciunas is no threat to him at all! ”

Antetokounmpo's breakaway dunk made Devin. Casey's blood pressure spikes. That terrible No. 34 didn't use any technique at all, but simply ran over it physically. This kind of loss is the most unacceptable for all coaches.

German. Casey didn't know that behind all this, it was Henson directing.

Subsequently, due to Looney's inability on the offensive end, the Pacers can help and complement as many defenders as they want. Henson knows Looney very well, and that guy basically doesn't know any other way to score than dunks.

Sure enough, under the active entrapment of the Pacers, DeRozan's shot also missed. The Trash Brothers have cooled down a Lowry today, and Casey doesn't want to see DeRozan frozen in ice.

Siakam personally grabbed the defensive rebound, and just as he landed, he heard Henson shouting from the sidelines.

“Run！ Run！ Run！ ”

Henson's shout was like igniting Siakam's engine, and he ran forward with the ball like crazy. It seems that he doesn't want to be a number four player at all.

But then again, most of Henson's players are unconventional. For example, George, who is 2.06 meters but plays the second position, such as Horford, a center who used to shoot and organize offenses from the outside. Now, Siakam has also become a member of this "strange army".

Siakam crossed the halfway line and passed the ball to Paul. But Paul didn't dwell on Loredo, but threw the ball directly into the air.

Siakam struggled to leap, Kevin. Rooney's reaction was half a beat slower. However, this half-beat distance is enough for Siakam to catch the ball and dunk!

In the air, Siakam clutched the basketball with both hands and smashed it into the frame! Rooney's bounce and reach are actually enough, but the judgment of the timing of the jump is still a little less interesting.

Siakam's dunk pulled the basket low and seemed to be pulling Devin as well. Casey's last fig leaf.

In just two rounds, the Pacers managed to widen the margin to double digits. Ibaka wasn't there, and the impact on the Raptors was visible to the naked eye. Just one Rooney can't resist the double onslaught of Antetokounmpo and Siakam.

And most desperately, Casey knew that replacing Ibaka would solve the problem, but he just couldn't do it. Because, he just let Ibaka play for 11 minutes.

At this time, Devon. Casey suddenly realized that she had fallen for Henson's scheme!

"That cunning bastard!" Casey roared, he kind of knew why Thibodeau and Scott. Brooks' face was covered in black lines at the mention of Henson.

"Patterson, come here!" Unable to bear it, Casey will be experienced in the space type of four Patrick. Patterson called in front of him, apparently preparing for a substitution.

But will Patterson alone be able to stop Siakam and Antetokounmpo from wreaking havoc?

Henson crossed his legs, he liked to see the other man struggling in despair......
