After Duncan received the rebound in the backcourt, he immediately passed the ball to Mills, hoping that he could push a fast break, and Mills did not disappoint Duncan, quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and assisted Danny Green to shoot a two-pointer, helping the Spurs narrow the gap to only 10 points.

However, Coach Frank was obviously not ready to give the opponent too much respite, so he called a short timeout and directly replaced Ye Xuan, and at the same time, David West was replaced, obviously wanting to use the strongest lineup on his side to kill the opponent in a wave.

After the timeout, the Pacers served on the sideline, Hill took the ball to the Spurs halfcourt, and handed the ball to Ye Xuan, the Spurs did not replace Leonard here, so Ye Xuan directly chose Ginobili in front of him with the ball alone this time, and the Spurs were obviously prepared, Ye Xuan just started the breakthrough, and was directly dragged down by Ginobili, and the referee immediately blew a foul, and the Spurs also took advantage of this dead ball opportunity to replace Ginobili with a rest, and replaced Leonard to defend Ye Xuan.

The Pacers served on the sideline again, and after Ye Xuan received the serve, he no longer continued to break through with the ball, because in the face of Leonard's defense, it was a little reluctant for him to force a single, but Ye Xuan did not pass the ball to his teammates, but held the ball near the top of the arc to direct his teammates to run, and then West suddenly came up to help Ye Xuan make a block.

Ye Xuan took the opportunity to widen the distance between him and Leonard and used a miraculous pass to pass the ball directly from Leonard and Split to Hibbert, at this time West had also cut inside and rushed into the Spurs penalty area, Hibbert was not greedy, facing Duncan's defense and threw the ball into the sky, West jumped up and grabbed the basketball and pressed the ball directly into the basket.

The Pacers' bench immediately boiled again, with exquisite coordination, using the blocking and passing between the three to completely tear apart the opponent's defense, and finally ended with an aerial relay, which was already destined to be the top five.

And the Spurs are obviously a little confused, the defensive rotation that their team has always been proud of is in front of the opponent's sharp cooperation, and it is also played with, Duncan looked at it, and secretly screamed that it was not good, he had just helped his teammates re-establish a little confidence, and now he was immediately destroyed by the opponent's set of combos. And what's worse is that his current physical strength is not enough to support himself to continue to play singles on the inside.

But fortunately, in addition to Duncan, there is another person in the Spurs who has no fluctuation in mentality, at least from his expression, he has no fluctuation, that is, their MVP in the last game, Kawhi Leonard, so in the case of several other teammates who were too weak and Duncan encountered a physical crisis, Leonard took the initiative to stand up and carry the banner of the Spurs' offense.

After Mills controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, Kawaii reached out directly to ask for the ball, Mills did not hesitate, handed the ball to Leonard, and then led his defender away, let Leonard play alone, facing Pickle Pepper's defense, Leonard obviously still has some experience, after all, Leonard also got a good score in the last game against Pickle Pepper's defense.

This time, Leonard still used his own set of old tricks, the emergency stop and retreat jump shot after the breakthrough, and Pickled Pepper had already prepared, after all, Leonard was the most commonly used move when he held the ball and singled, so his stepback step was not able to open up enough space, and Pickled Pepper's defense can be said to be very in place.

But Leonard obviously knew that his offense could not be defended by the opponent like this, otherwise the morale of his teammates would be even lower, so Leonard still chose to force his shot when Pickle Pepper was already in place, and in this game, Leonard still continued his hand in the last game, and this difficult two-point shot was still hit.

However, the Pacers' offense is still very fast, Hibbert continues to consume Duncan's physical energy on the inside, and West's blocking and dismantling inside cutting and blocking and dismantling after the high catch jumper make the Spurs a little unguardable, they also didn't expect that the original Pacers did not play particularly well in the first few games, but in such a key game as the battle of Tianwang Mountain, suddenly became powerful, especially Hibbert, in the first 4 games, Hibbert can be said to have been pressed by Duncan.

Unlike the Pacers, who have more inside and outside positions, the Spurs' offense can now only rely more on Leonard's ball-handling singles and Duncan's back-to-back singles on the inside, so although Leonard hit the ball in two consecutive rounds at the beginning, and even narrowed the difference to 8 points at one point, but as the Pacers began to wrap up Leonard, Leonard's points were squandered again and again by Split, Mills and Danny Green, and the difference between the two teams was gradually widened again.

With less than five minutes left in the second quarter, the Spurs were still a little unstoppable, and they called a timeout, and then replaced Mills, Split and Green with Parker, Ginobili who had just rested for a long time, and Bonner, who had not played in this game. At this time, the Pacers were already 46:32, leading the opponent by 14 points.

After the pause, the Spurs should be the only five people whose mentality has not exploded in this game, and which role players off the court, including the starting Danny Green and Split, have been more or less affected, so their performance on the court is not very good.

After Leonard once again held the ball and was caught in the bag, Bonner immediately used a three-pointer to tell the Pacers that they are now refreshed, and not to bully the two faces of our family.

However, the Pacers' offense is still so sharp, and after the opponent replaced Split and Danny Green, the weakness on the defensive end suddenly showed, West and Bonner's alignment can be said to be complete, Bonner said that the body, not as good as West, said that the footsteps, not as fast as West, even the three-point shot that he has always been proud of, because the opponent is a space power forward, so it is difficult to run out of the vacancy.

And at this point of pickled peppers, Ginobili's defensive pressure is also very high, although his speed and flexible running position on the offensive end can make him not particularly disadvantaged when attacking, but on the defensive end, if pickled peppers really want to be strong, the bald man's small body is still not enough.

In this way, although the Spurs can also make some gains on the offensive end, the holes on the defensive end also make them lose a lot of points. At the end of the second quarter, the Pacers scored 30 points again in this quarter, while the Spurs were still not particularly optimistic, although they improved from the first quarter, scoring 22 points, but they still trailed the opponent by 8 points in a single quarter, and at halftime, the Pacers had a 19-point lead over the opponent at 60:41.
