"Hey, it's amazing that Desaquena Diop jumped to beat Jermaine O'Neal when he jumped the ball!"

As the whistle blew at the start of the game, perhaps it was the cheers of the crowd that gave Desagena Diop courage and energy, and in the opening jump ball, Desagena Diop unexpectedly won the ball over Jermaine O'Neal and won the ball for the Mavericks.

Jermaine O'Neal definitely belongs to the first echelon of the league in terms of jump ball, and even was dubbed the "jump ball finisher" by the media because he once won 81 of 82 jump shots in a single season.

"Haha, El, Jermaine O'Neal's jump ball is good, but Tiger also has naps, you can't expect him to win every jump ball." Just as Michaels was still looking surprised at Desaquena-Diop's jump jump win over Jermaine O'Neal, Magic Johnson, who was sitting next to Michaels, burst out laughing.

For Desagena Diop's jump ball success, the Mavericks are obviously not psychologically prepared, Jason Terry received the basketball from Desagena Diop from the air in the backcourt, and was stunned for more than a second before he began to advance with the ball, and I don't know when it started, the Mavericks did not win the Pacers when they jumped the ball in the opening game, so after the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, the Mavericks' first reaction up and down was to retreat, but what I didn't expect was that Desagana Diop actually jumped to beat Jermaine O'Neal, which is definitely a big surprise for the Mavericks.

"Well, the Pacers are going to press the Mavericks all over the court as soon as the game starts?"

When the jump ball ended, Tony Allen stuck Jason Terry in the backcourt, Michaels on the commentary bench was also puzzled, in the case of the referee's blowing scale, the Pacers rashly pressed the Mavericks all over the court, which is definitely a very unwise move, if the scale of this game is the same as the previous game, then the Pacers are likely to fall into the quagmire of foul crisis again in the first quarter of the game.

The whole court is pressing, Avery Johnson, who is standing on the sidelines, just glances at Tony Allen and Tyshawn Prince, who are pressing Jason Terry in the backcourt, you can feel the toughness and aggression of the Pacers on the defensive end, it seems that the Pacers are ready to overwhelm themselves in momentum as soon as they start, it seems that Avery Johnson, who has seen through Rick Carlisle's intentions, looks at Jason Terry, who is scrambling under the pressure of Tony Allen, and his brows are furrowed more and more.

"Rick, great, our gamble worked." Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson frowned, in contrast to the Pacers' bench, assistant coach Lester Connell has a happy face, because in the last game, the referee on duty pulled the frame and blew the body contact, making it difficult for the Pacers, who are used to physical confrontation, to adapt to the referee's blowing scale for a while, so they fell into a foul crisis in the first quarter of the game, so today's game Rick Carlisle decided to use full-court pressing at the beginning of the game, first test the referee's blowing scale, If today's referee is still the same as the last game, then the Pacers will give up full-court pressing, and if it is looser than the scale of the previous game, it will definitely be a good thing for the Pacers.

Everyone knows the importance of this game, and today's game can be said to be the most important game in this series, although the Pacers are now leading the Mavericks 2-1 in the big score, but once the Mavericks equalize, the Pacers will lose all advantages. The Mavericks are the same, if they lose today's game, the Mavericks will be doomed, so both the Pacers and the Mavericks are determined to win today's game.

And the wrestling between the two sides about this game is not limited to the field, Rick Carlisle played negatively in the second half of the last game, and at the press conference after the game, he angrily sprayed the referee in front of so many multimedia reporters, in fact, there is only one purpose, that is, to put pressure on the referee, to put pressure on the league, although Rick Carlisle's big mouth was fined $50,000 by the league, but judging from the opening round of today's game, the $50,000 is still worth it.

Although there will be occasional key whistles, but in the case of the overall loose penalty scale, the Pacers quickly found their familiar rhythm of the game, and are still trying to pull the Mavericks into their own rhythm, so as the game continues to advance, the head coach of the Pacers and the Mavericks, one of their faces is getting darker and darker, their brows are furrowing and tighter, and the other is getting more and more relaxed.

Especially when the first quarter of this game is over. When the Pacers came off the court with a 24-18 score, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle handed towels to the players who came off the court one by one to show that he was very satisfied with their performance in the first quarter.

"The Pacers were very good defensively in the first quarter, while the Mavericks were a bit of a mess and they needed to work through those issues in the next game, or play better." When the first quarter of the game ended, looking at the barely fair blowing penalty on the court, Magic Johnson also smiled, is this right, the matter on the court, let these players on the court solve it.

Judging from the first quarter of the game, the Pacers and Mavericks still played very fiercely, at least the excitement of the game was much stronger than the previous one, but the fly in the ointment was that Meng Xu and Dirk Nowitzki did not play much in the first quarter, which made the spectators and fans who were expecting them to fight each other very dissatisfied.

In the first quarter of the game, Meng Xu organized the defense to grasp, but rarely shot, and only shot twice in the entire first quarter, scoring 3 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals on one of two shots.

Dirk Nowitzki is similar, in the case that Jason Terry always has to face the Pacers pressing defense, Dirk Nowitzki pulls up again and again to cover for Jason Terry, just like a blue-collar interior lineman, and on the defensive end, after Desagena Diop has to put all his energy into defending Jermaine O'Neal, the burden of protecting backcourt rebounds falls on Dirk Nowitzki, so Dirk Nowitzki can only reduce the number of shots he takes on the offensive end.

Although Meng Xu and Dirk Nowitzki seem to have various reasons and excuses, in the eyes of professionals, Meng Xu and Dirk Nowitzki's intention is obvious, that is, in the first half of the game, pretend to be dead strokes, save physical strength, and wait until the second half, or in the fourth quarter to stand up and take over the game, both of them want to take over the game at the last moment of the game, so today's game is still very interesting, but I don't know who will get what they want in the end.
