After Game 1 on May 3, the Pacers didn't leave Atlanta, and after a day of training here, the game resumed. Unlike the last game, this time the Hawks gave up the slower Korver after the opening, and instead let the energetic, but not as good as Korver's excellent Shervin Mark as the starter, this adjustment did make the Pacers' backcourt not as easy to play as in the last game when attacking, and the result was that the Pacers were still using West to start, not only did they not be able to take the slightest lead, On the contrary, they also fell behind by 5 points because of the low shooting percentage of Solomon Hill and Ye Xuan on the outside.

Ye Xuan shot 5 times in the first quarter and only hit 2 goals, although the 40% shooting rate is not particularly low, but it is already very weak for Ye Xuan, followed by the point of Solomon Hill, Ye Xuan is caught by the opponent, and Carol is generally inseparable from the pickled pepper, so after the general breakthrough point, it is passed to Solomon Hill, in the previous game, Hill's shooting rate is not bad, but today is dumb, only one of the 5 shots hit, That's the main reason why the Pacers are behind.

In the third minute of the second quarter, Ye Xuan was replaced again, and then began to play without the ball as in the playoffs last season, and Pickled Pepper took on the responsibility of the organization. After coming to the front court, Ye Xuan came directly to the low position, looking for pickled pepper to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, the other four members of the Pacers team immediately pulled to the other side, allowing Ye Xuan to play Teague on the back of the low post, Teague's small body is certainly not Ye Xuan's opponent, plus Ye Xuan's low footsteps are relatively solid, and he was soon beaten twice in a row by Ye Xuan.

And Mike Budenholzer is not a fool, he immediately called a short timeout to target Ye Xuan, and then when the timeout came back, when Ye Xuan was ready to repeat the old trick, he was no longer facing the thin Jeff Teague, but Carol, who was very strong and could make a cameo appearance as a big forward from time to time.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan's off-ball is not just these means, he immediately used off-ball running and air cutting to open up the situation, and in the rest of the second quarter, it was basically Ye Xuan showing his offensive arsenal, and the opponent was an internal and external shot, which was very good, but in the end, the Pacers were more skilled, and they played 27:23 in a single quarter, narrowing the difference to 1 point.

At halftime, the atmosphere of both teams was very tense, and the Pacers were unable to find a feeling for the other scoring points except for the two cores, and I don't know if it was because they were in poor shape today, or because the Hawks added a basket. In the first half, except for Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper, the other players of the Pacers actually shot 6 of 21, which was a far cry from their previous game. So Coach Frank was also very annoyed at halftime, grabbing Solomon Hill and others as a hair dryer.

On the Hawks' side, it was a little lost because they didn't continue to open the difference, plus Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper They still haven't been able to contain it perfectly, so this game is still very dangerous, as the No. 1 team in the East, this season is all the way forward, ready to go straight to the championship, now the first game has been poured a basin of cold water, and now the second game still feels still not easy to win, of course I can't be happy.

The second half of the game soon restarted, the Hawks' style of play has made some changes, originally they have been on the inside line, let Millsap and Horford organize the team's offense, but now although the inside line is open, but it has always been the two people on the inside who are playing small, occasionally being able to pull out and shoot a three-point or something, but the play is too small, so the team's offense has not been particularly smooth, and the offense is also very difficult.

After the start of the second half, they directly changed their style of play and put Shervin Mark back on the bench, which proved that although Shervin Mark was energetic, his style of play was really not suitable for being a starter, because he basically had no sense of cooperation, so Mike Budenholzer made another personnel change and replaced the little yellow hair Schroeder.

Not to mention, although the little yellow hair is not as good as Shervin Mark in terms of offense, but the Hawks' main offensive point is not on him, the Hawks mainly rely on the two major interior and outside Korver, Jeff Teague and other main forces, and the benches can basically have a total of 20 shots in a game.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Xiao Huangmao immediately played his role, he could bring more trouble to Ye Xuan on the defensive end, and because he was originally a player who was used to running without the ball, although his offensive skills were not as good as Shervin Mark, but in the starter, there were not many opportunities to attack with the ball, so his style of playing without the ball was more suitable.

Coach Frank obviously didn't expect that a junior on the bench could have such a big impact on the situation of the game. Originally, the state of the Pacers in this game was not particularly good, and they completely relied on Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper to support them, but now Ye Xuan began to be curbed because of the leftovers on a bench, so the Pacers suddenly began to fall into trouble.

After 7 minutes of the third quarter, the Pacers had to make personnel adjustments, the first reason is that Solomon Hill is really a bit bad today, the front and back have combined to shoot 3 of 11, wasting many opportunities, and the second reason is that Hibbert has to fight against Millsap and Horford at the same time from time to time, so he has now 4 fouls and has to be substituted.

It's a pity that the Pacers' response plan has been completely guessed by Mike Budenholzer, because not long after the start of the fourth quarter, Hibbert was again caused a fifth foul, resulting in the Pacers' interior loss, the Pacers' interior was lost, and the Hawks immediately showed off their might, although Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan resisted desperately, but in the end, they were defeated by the Hawks 99:93 because they were invincible with two fists.
