Chapter 377: The big score is 3:0
After these awards were awarded, the league once again entered the tense playoff competition, in fact, today's awards are just some hors d'oeuvres, those awards that are more worthy of everyone's anticipation, will be awarded after the first round of the playoffs are all over, and the awards to be announced at that time are only the regular season MVP, the best defensive player, the best coach, the best team and the best defensive team, which are enough to make a person's historical status rise.
After such a small episode, the teams in the league that entered the playoffs began to get busy again, and the Pacers immediately ushered in the second challenge of the Wizards.
Pickled pepper started his own rampage mode at the beginning, first scored 8 points in a row with a sudden shot, and then contributed a break and a risk on the defensive end to completely blow up the Wizards, the original Wizards started relatively well, but a Wall pass was broken, giving Ye Xuan a chance to chase three points, and once Beal was given a chance for a 360-degree dunk in the front court of Pickled Pepper, and after a few back and forth, the Pacers established an advantage again, just like the last game, Although the Wizards' performance in this game was much better than the previous game, they were quickly defeated under the heavy fire of the Pacers.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led the opponent by eight points at 37:29, and at the end of the second quarter, the Pacers scored 70 points, while the Wizards scored only 57 points, and the Pacers, who led the opponent by 13 points at halftime, did not let their guard down in the second half, and in the third quarter, they once again played a beautiful defense to control the opponent's score at 19 points, while they scored 27 points again, and won another eight points in a single quarter! By the time of the fourth quarter, the Wizards had no chance of winning, and in the end, 119-101, the Pacers won the game again on their home court, rewriting the score of the first round of the playoffs to 2:0.
Time flies, the two-day break passed quickly, the two teams moved to Washington, and after coming to the Verizon Verizon Center Arena, the Wizards played very boldly, at the beginning of the game, they caught the Pacers off guard through the off-ball running in the frontcourt, and the first quarter of the game until the TV paused, the Pacers did not find any good opportunities to break the deadlock, but at this time it was the turn of the Pacers' benches, 10 minutes after the first quarter of the game, The two teams have been replaced one after another, - Smith has taken medicine, he will shoot when he catches the ball, and he can shoot as he wants, and Ye Xuan on the field is a little ashamed.
3 minutes on the court, on 7 shots 5 shots, scored 15 points, and suddenly overtook the score, and then although the Wizards team is in a very good state today, but the overall strength of the Pacers team is obviously higher, in the second quarter of the game, Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper took turns to fire, and the Wizards were defeated, if it weren't for their own shooting rate was also very good, it is estimated that this game would be a crushing game.
However, after the second half, the Pacers' firepower began to have some problems, first Pickled Pepper's shooting rate dropped, and two consecutive shots were off the basket, and then Hibbert was fouled twice in a row, causing Coach Frank to have to replace him in advance, although he was replaced by Masimmy, but it was a little too difficult for Masimmi to face Gortat alone.
In the third quarter of the game, due to the failure of the interior line to withstand the pressure, the opponent was penetrated, causing the Pacers to lose the line, and the opponent erased the point difference, and also led by 4 points in turn, and the situation suddenly tilted to the Wizards' side. It's a pity that the Wizards team still underestimated the enemy, in the playoffs, they still let the main team rest regularly, but Coach Frank was very witty and staggered the playing time of Ye Xuan and the opponent's main force a little, this time it was fatal, facing the Wizards substitute who didn't have much defense, Ye Xuan was like a dragon in the water, which made the Wizards team uncomfortable.
It only took 2 minutes,-Smith and Shambaught and others beat the opponent a 7:0 small high dynasty,Directly pulled back the disadvantage of the third quarter of the game,This time it is not just a simple way to chase the point difference back,This time it also lost the momentum of the Wizards team,The Wizards team who originally intended to win back a game was very strong,There was a wave,In the fourth quarter, Ye Xuan made a wave,In an instant, their ambition to make two chasing four dissipated invisibly.
In the last quarter of the game, the Wizards' shooting rate even dropped to 24%, although they still scored 24 points in the final quarter, but the Pacers suddenly broke out in this quarter of the game, scoring 32 points in a single quarter, directly overtaking the score and ending the game.
At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Wizards 103-97 at Verizon Center, and now the score has come to 3-0, following the Pacers swept the Wizards out last season, the Wizards are likely to be swept again this season. This made Wall, who has always been aiming to win the championship, feel a little desperate, and even have the idea of leaving the team.
The Pacers' promotion situation is very good, and this scene also appears in the Hawks and Cavaliers, these two teams also won 3-0, and basically won every game. The only exception is the Bulls who played against the Raptors, the Bulls also won a 2:0 start at home, but after coming to Toronto, the Raptors began to break out, in the third game, Lowry 21 points and 11 assists, DeRozan 29 points, Louis Williams came off the bench and scored 24 points, and the three main players in the backcourt were all 20+, which directly broke through the Bulls' backline, and the big score was finally pulled to 2:1.
The west side is even more miserable, the Grizzlies are okay, the first three games played the Trail Blazers are in a state of confusion, directly a wave of 3-0 to get the match point, is the only game in the West that played relatively smoothly, as for the other three groups of matches, it is a bit difficult to solve.
