Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines also began to worry about the Pacers: "The Pacers are prone to make mistakes in this situation, although their two team cores have won the championship last year, but they don't have enough experience to deal with this oppressive game atmosphere, if they can't adjust the team's atmosphere even well, they will be more than lucky in this game." ”

Mark Jackson also said, "Yes, I think LeBron, who has been in the league for 11 years, will have more experience in this area, and he will seize these opportunities that are not easy to discover, and then defeat the Pacers in one fell swoop, and now the Pacers have to do not think about how to recover the point difference, what they need more now is to strengthen their defense, otherwise they will soon know how good LeBron is." ”

On the court, the Pacers attacked with the ball again, but fortunately, they now feel good, and after rushing to the front court, Ye Xuan directly attacked a three-pointer outside the three-point line before waiting for the inside players to settle down, which is considered to be a color. But their defense was still problematic, and the Cavaliers turned around and immediately hit a two-pointer from beyond the three-point line from George Hill at the top of the arc.

After that, the Pacers' offense hit the iron again, and Pickled Pepper was not able to continue his excellent play, this time the shot was interfered with by James and missed the basket, Tristan Thompson grabbed the rebound, and immediately handed the ball to George Hill, Hill immediately launched a fast attack, fortunately, the Pacers' retreat was relatively timely, so there was no chance for the Cavaliers to break fast, and finally the Cavaliers' offense also ended with James breaking through the ball to Dellavedova, and the latter hit the iron.

Hibbert grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then passed the ball to Pickle Pepper, as for Ye Xuan, he has already started to play a fast break, but unfortunately it is like a mirror defense, the Cavaliers also did not give Ye Xuan a chance to break fast, the Pacers controlled the ball to the front court by Pickled Pepper, and could only start to play the positional offense again, but Ye Xuan also had a plan that could not be made, and after calling Scola to block and dismantle, he buried his head and rushed into the inside, facing Tristan Thompson who came to make up for the defense, Ye Xuan rushed up in a daze, and then caused the opponent's foul, this is Ye Xuan's idea, since his sports score is so dead guarded by the opponent, it is better to use the free throws that he is also good at to defeat the opponent.

Two free throws, Ye Xuan's score at this time has come to 18 points, the first half of the game is not over yet, and his assists have reached 6, judging from this data, it is not a big problem to get a double-double today, it depends on whether he can grab 10 rebounds with the help of his teammates.

In the next few rounds, the game between the two teams finally slowly got back on track, and the actions of the two teams began to converge, and the Pacers began to chase points desperately, but although the strength of the main lineup on the Cavaliers' side is indeed not enough, they feel good today, especially James, Ye Xuan has not finished the first half and scored almost 20 points, and James's side is also not over in the first half, at this time he has already scored 24 points, and the other data are also gorgeous, With 4 assists and 5 rebounds, this game can basically be said to have a triple-double.

With LeBron James' supernatural play, the Cavaliers led all the way, leading the Pacers by six points with the final two minutes of the second quarter. Because they have been pressed by their opponents, the fans of the Conseco Arena are also very depressed, and they have no good way to do it except for being able to boo the opponent from time to time.

Fortunately, the slump of pickled peppers did not last long, after ironing 3 balls, pickled peppers found their sights again, and hit a throw after receiving Ye Xuan's pass in the front court, and then hit a long-distance mid-range shot under Scola's blocking, although the opponent's side also hit both attacks, which did not allow the Pacers to narrow the difference, but as Pickled Pepper began to wield, the pressure on Ye Xuan's side suddenly decreased a lot.

Unfortunately, just when the Pacers' duo were ready to work together to close the score, the first half of the game was over. At the end of the first half, the Pacers trailed the opponent by 57:52 at their home court by 5 points, and the Pacers had some advantage at the beginning of the first half, but after the clash, the Pacers were a little out of shape, and it was indeed difficult for the Pacers, who did not have much experience, to adjust their mentality in the face of this situation.

At halftime, Jeff Van Gundy also began his own analysis: "In this game, we can see that the Pacers are playing very passively, although it seems that they are always attacking, but in fact they are behind the side, they are forced to attack, and the Cavaliers, I have to say that the little emperor did play his career masterpiece again, at the end of the first half, played 19 minutes, scored 26 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds, if others don't say it, I think this is the data he won in one game, right?" ”

Mark Jackson on the side is also very dutiful, "Yes, that's right, I think the most critical point of this game is LeBron, Ye and Paul, judging from the situation in the first half, Paul's state is not particularly good, and although Ye played well, but he has to rely on his strength to fight against LeBron in this state, I think it's a bit hanging." ”

"I think they should use Hibbert more in the second half, the Cavaliers don't have any threat on the inside, those two inside lines are not going to attack on their own, so I think they can free Hibbert on the offensive end, and then break the current situation from the inside out." Jeff Van Gundy spoke his mind.

And Mark Jackson on the side should not be praised at this time, he retorted "No, no, no, Jeff, you are still immersed in the era of the four centers and Yao Ming, the current basketball game is no longer the world of the center, the center is no longer enough to change the outcome of a game, they can only play a supporting role, and Hibbert himself is also a defensive player, you look at his statistics this season, although there have been several 20+ games." 10, but the average score per game is only 11.6 points, he is not the team's main point of attack, and his opponent is not offensive enough, but the defense is still good, you can't underestimate the defense of that muscular man. ”
