In the blink of an eye, the time has come to April 23rd. At seven o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game on time, and after the basketball was thrown high, Hibbert took the lead in shooting the ball, and after Ye Xuan got the basket, he quickly launched an attack on the opponent's basket.

After quickly advancing to the front, taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold, Ye Xuan directly changed direction and passed Teague, and then threw and scored the first goal of the game.

The Hawks served in the backcourt, Teague slowly advanced to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Millsap, who asked for the ball on the inside, after Mishen received the ball, he hit David West twice with his back, and found that West's lower set was very stable, so he gave up the plan to eat the opponent, and then suddenly retreated, and a half-turned backward jumper shot to score the ball.

Ye Xuan slowly advanced with the ball, and after coming to the front court, he handed the ball to Pickled Pepper. Pickled pepper faced the relatively slow pace of Korver, naturally not polite, directly a simple body forward change of direction, and then accelerated past Korver, before Pero Antich had time to make up for the defense, directly shot from the middle distance and threw the ball in.

After Jeff Teague brought the ball to the frontcourt, he wanted to force a breakthrough in the face of Ye Xuan's defense, but Ye Xuan was stuck in the breakthrough route, so he had no choice but to hold the ball and wait for his teammates to come and respond, but his teammates didn't wait, but they waited for Lance Stephenson.

After Lance found that the opponent was stuck, he quickly went to the bag, after Teague was trapped, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, Ye Xuan took the opportunity to reach out and poke the ball directly, and Lance next to him grabbed the basketball that was stabbed off and quickly went down, although Carol quickly chased after the defense, but Ye Xuan and Lance's frontcourt two to one was not so easy to defend.

Lance, who entered the three-point line, passed the ball to Ye Xuan, who was following next to him, Ye Xuan made a shot action when he received the ball at the three-point line, and Carroll was so frightened that he hurriedly pounced and blocked, but Ye Xuan pressed down with both hands, faked a real pass, and Stephenson under the basket got the ball and easily dunked the ball.

At this time, Teague ran back to catch the ball and brought the ball to the front court again, Teague didn't dare to beat Ye Xuan anymore, and called Pero Antich to make a block for himself, Teague broke through the ball to create a shot opportunity for Korver, who was ambushed on the side, and Korver was not ambiguous, and immediately shot after receiving the ball, and the three-point shot in the bottom left corner also fell into the net.

However, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry to respond to the opponent, slowly took the ball through the half court, and handed the ball to Pickle Pepper, after all, in the opposite position, Pickled Pepper was in an absolute advantage. After Pickled Pepper received the ball, he repeated the trick, took a step back to open a little distance and then directly used the speed advantage to pass Korver, although the Eagles' defense came very quickly, but Pickled Pepper also quickly passed the ball to Ye Xuan, who ran out of the vacant position, Ye Xuan picked up the ball and threw it, and the three points were also hit.

Compared with the Pacers' side, the Hawks' offense seemed to be very struggling, after Teague blocked and opened the distance with Ye Xuan again, he passed back to Antich, Antich faced Ye Xuan who changed the defense and shot directly with three points, but unfortunately he underestimated Ye Xuan's defense and bounce, the basketball just shot, it was touched by Ye Xuan's outstretched fingers, and the upward trend slowed down, and then fell down and was caught by David West.

After Ye Xuan touched the basketball, he quickly rushed forward, because he knew that after he capped off the opponent's shot, this would be an excellent opportunity to counterattack, Ye Xuan took the lead in the front, and Teague and Carol also chased back frantically, after West took the basketball, he pushed forward hard, the basketball passed through Teague and Carol in the air, and landed two steps in front of Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan hurriedly grabbed the basketball in two steps and jumped directly, smashing the ball into the basket with both hands.

The crowd burst into cheers, and Mike Budenholzer saw that the Pacers were about to get off the ground, so he immediately called a timeout. Unlike the regular season, every pause in the playoffs is extraordinarily crucial.

After the timeout, the Hawks immediately changed their tactics, and after Millsap mentioned the high post to receive the ball, the remaining four pulled away and let Mishen single West, although Millsap is not superior in height in the same position, but West is also this type of power forward. After Mi Shen made a crotch change in the high position, he suddenly started, took two steps inward, and then suddenly made a sudden stop, and the basketball hit the board into the basket.

After the Pacers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan thought about helping West return the opposite one, so he called West at the top of the arc to block and dismantle, and after the block was completed, the two people who killed inward at the same time instantly disrupted the Hawks' defensive formation, Ye Xuan came to the free throw line and passed directly to West, who was following him, and West took a three-step forward after receiving the ball and easily scored the ball.

Looking back, the Hawks still let Mishen hold the ball high, but the guarded Pacers responded quickly, and as a result, Millsap, who was trapped, could only pass the ball to Teague, and Teague did not find a chance to break through after taking the ball.

After Ye Xuan received Hibbert's pass, he quickly pushed forward, and then used the advantage of speed to break through into the inner line, attracting Millsap's defense, and handed the ball to West who had just rushed over, the Eagles' inner line was empty at the moment, Antich was still running back, Hibbert was still running, Millsap was attracted by Ye Xuan again, and West easily dribbled two steps to dunk the ball with one hand.

After that, the Pacers' offense was still sharp, but the Hawks' offensive end was very struggling, and with less than four minutes left in the first quarter, the Pacers had a full 14-point lead at 29:15. Coach Frank saw that the situation was dominant and he was leading a lot, so he simply replaced all the main players directly, and did not let Ye Xuan or one of the pickled peppers lead the substitutes to play for a while.

And the Hawks, due to falling behind more, in addition to replacing Korver and replacing Louis Williams, only replaced Antici with the old captain Brand. After making their respective adjustments, the game started again.

After the Pacers served on the sideline, Hill slowly advanced the ball to the frontcourt, and the Pacers instantly seemed to change to a pair, without the previous decisive breakthrough shot, and without a quick counterattack, replaced by the iron bucket formation given by Coach Frank.

It turned out that before going on the court, Coach Frank gave instructions for Hill to press down the rhythm and play slowly, minimizing the number of offensive rounds, so as to win more rest time for the main team, and this bench lineup did not have a prominent offensive point, so positional warfare was a more effective method.
