Chapter 143: The Second Battle of the Finals (2)

As soon as the game started, Ye Xuan made 4 consecutive shots and scored 7 points strongly, which made the Spurs have to defend Ye Xuan more tightly. And the Spurs' offense is also very efficient, after Parker received the ball in the backcourt, he immediately quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then used Split's block to dismantle Ye Xuan's defense and take the opportunity to break through to the outside of Kowhi Leonard, who received the ball and shot three-pointers, and also hit.

In the next few offenses, several other players of the Pacers also played one after another, West used his range to go around the outside to catch the ball, and also hit two shots, although Pickled Pepper has been very uncomfortable by Leonard's death entanglement, but he still used the air cut to make a basket on Duncan's head, and Ye Xuan also took this opportunity to brush up 4 assists.

On the Spurs' side, it is more about taking advantage of Duncan's current physical strength to constantly let Duncan play Hibbert alone, although Hibbert himself is an interior player who is good at defense, but unfortunately in the face of Duncan, an old fritter who has been in the finals for many years, Hibbert's defensive experience is still a little insufficient, and after being hit three times in a row by Duncan and being fouled, the Pacers also had to wrap Duncan.

However, Duncan also seems very calm when facing the bag, and can always send the ball to the hands of his teammates in the open position, so that the Pacers' defense also seems to be a bit tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but fortunately, Duncan is old and can't play 35+ minutes in a game, so when the first quarter of the game was about 7 minutes into the game, the Spurs took the initiative to make personnel adjustments, replacing Duncan, who had scored 11 points, with Boris Dior, and replacing Leonard with Ginobili.

On the Pacers' side, they also replaced Lance with George Hill, the timeout ended, the Spurs served in the backcourt, Parker quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to the 'Pampas Old Vulture', after the bald man received the ball, he twisted very enchantingly in the face of Ye Xuan's defense and shook Ye Xuan directly, and then easily hit a mid-range shot near the free throw line.

Frank on the field saw that Ye Xuan was passed by the opponent so easily, and suddenly couldn't help it, facing Ye Xuan on the sidelines is a set of quality three, Ye Xuan was also very helpless on the field, just saw Ginobili twisting a few times, Ye Xuan felt that it was against the human body, but the opponent made such an action so easily and scored.

However, Ye Xuan's adjustment speed was still good, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and then slowly ran to the front court, Hill controlled the basketball to the front court, and then passed the ball to Pickled Pepper, Pickled Pepper was guarded by Leonard for 7 minutes, and he wanted to die.

After receiving the basketball, Pickle Pepper directly chose to forcibly break through Danny Green in front of him, compared to Leonard, Green's defense is much more ordinary, with a hint of anger, Pickle Pepper passed Green in two clicks, and under the cover of West, he completed a one-handed dunk directly on Split's head. After completing this dunk, Pickled Pepper also let out a bad breath and roared twice at the sky.

And the bald man was quietly making a bad mistake at this time, the pickled pepper was still celebrating, and the bald man had already quietly sent out the ball, fortunately, Ye Xuan reacted in time and immediately returned to defense, without giving the opponent a chance to sneak attack, and the French sports car saw that there was no chance of a fast attack and sneak attack, so he was not in a hurry to attack, and only after his teammates were on the court did Parker pass the basketball to Dior.

As the two teammates of the French national team, they cooperated very tacitly, Dior only used one look after receiving the ball, Parker immediately understood, using Dior as the axis, successfully threw off Ye Xuan's defense, and Dior is worthy of his title of French magician, a ground pass, the basketball passed through Ye Xuan and West's defense and was directly sent to Parker, who cut into the inside line, Hibbert hurried to make up for the defense, the French sports car sent it low, and Split received the ball and dunked the ball with both hands.

A very smooth set of cooperation, so that the audience couldn't help but start applauding. Even Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel that the opponent's cooperation was indeed very perfect, but this did not mean that Ye Xuan would give up easily, in the next round, Ye Xuan used his personal ability to break through Parker, and then sent a wonderful pass of air relay for Pickle Pepper, Pickle Pepper also ran and found that the basketball flew towards his head, so he jumped up and caught the basketball and easily dunked the ball in.

In the next few rounds, both teams' offenses played very fluently, and the Spurs became more open inside after Dio mentioned the high post to respond, which also gave Ginobili and Parker more room to break through, coupled with Dior's excellent passing vision, the Spurs played a kind of 'SHOW TIME' feeling for a while.

On the Pacers' side, they used the personal abilities of Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper to constantly tear apart the opponent's defense, and then the person who got the vacant position shot to score points, and the efficiency was also very good.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, the score of the two teams has come to 31:34 because of the super efficiency of the first quarter of the two sides, and the Pacers led by three points.

On the Spurs' side, they also replaced the old sports car, replaced Mills, and then replaced Split with Belinelli, and Dio became the center of this team. After the substitution, the Spurs sent a small lineup, which had a sense of the Warriors' small-ball tactics back then.

And this lineup did bring a lot of trouble to the Pacers, because the opponent's rotation speed is fast, and they all have a three-point range, so Masimmi is particularly difficult to face this lineup, so he was replaced by Coach Frank after only two rounds, and replaced with C.J. Watson, a master of chaos.

The two teams ended the first quarter of the game with such two sets of small lineups, and it turned out that the strength of the small lineups of both teams was not ideal, the Spurs only scored 4 points in the last two minutes, which was inefficient, and the Pacers only had Pickled Pepper shoot a three-pointer, and at the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought 35:37, and the Pacers led by 2 points.
