The Knicks attacked, and Da Yao and Charlie Ward played a pick-and-roll.

After Ward broke through, Da Yao stood at the top of the arc and made a three-pointer, but unfortunately couldn't shoot.

The Pacers attacked, the whole team opened up space, and Mark Jackson hoisted the ball to Rick Schmitz on the inside.

Schmitz hit Da Yao with his back.

Da Yao resisted his opponent to the death and didn't give him any chance!

Schmitz squeezed a few times but didn't squeeze, and saw that Da Yao was tall and had long arms, so he didn't dare to throw it strongly, and passed the ball to Reggie Miller outside.

After receiving the ball, Miller burst into the basket by covering, and Da Yao hurriedly went to block it, but unfortunately it was not covered!

Miller scored a goal against Da Yao!

2：0！

The Knicks were going to play a No. 31 tactic on offense, but after Charlie Ward handed the ball to Garnett, the Pacers still didn't finish their defense.

Garnett saw that their position was not very good, and he did not execute the tactics, but forced a breakthrough!

Chris Mullin was in hot pursuit, and Dale Davis was on the sidelines. Garnett stuffed the ball to Bo Outlaw under the basket in the middle of the gap, and Dabo dunked!

2：2！

The Pacers attacked, Reggie Miller borrowed the cover from the bottom right corner to the left side to receive the ball at a 45-degree angle, but unfortunately Garnett kept chasing the defense!

Miller was not convinced, and he held the ball and burst strongly, and then Da Yao blocked it again!

Reggie Miller saw that he had hit a high wall, and there was Garnett's long arm behind him, so he could only pass the ball!

Mark Jackson received the ball and burst in from the other side to face Bo Outeloh and score the ball!

4：2！

You come and go, the scores of the two sides continue to rise alternately, and no one picks up anyone's cheapness!

In the middle of the quarter, Li Wei replaced the bench and played a wave of 8:0 to take the lead, and then Bird also replaced the bench.

The Pacers' backup point guard Travis Best, like Mullin, is a talented left-hander, only 1.8 meters tall and has a super scoring ability, scoring 81 points in a single game in high school.

One of the important reasons why Marbury went to Georgia Tech in the first place was that Travis Best just graduated from the NBA that year, and there was a vacancy in the school's organizational guard.

Marbury, a freshman, averaged 18.9 points and 4.5 assists per game, slightly worse than Best, who averaged 12.3 points and 5.7 assists per game in his freshman year. As for Marbury's senior-year stats – Marbury was drafted in his freshman year, and there is simply no way to have senior-year stats.

Like many short guys, Best is fast and easy to take advantage of on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he is often a target for others.

If in a team of average level, Best also has the ability to be a starter, but unfortunately the Pacers have Mark Jackson, who is the second in the history of the total assists list, then no matter how strong Best's ability is, he can only be a substitute.

Coming off the bench, Bester was in good form today, scoring back-to-back shots on the offensive end and holding Nash down on the defensive end. Under his leadership, the Pacers responded with a wave of 8:0 and overtook the score!

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led 26-24.

In the first half of the second quarter, the two sides continued to fight off the bench, and the score was tight. In the second half, Li Wei and Bird successively replaced the main forces, and as a result, the Pacers played a 10:2 shockwave and opened the score again!

In the final minute of the quarter, Mark Jackson hit a buzzer-beating shot to tie the score at 57-47, and the Pacers ended the first half with a double-digit lead.

At halftime, Li Wei only spent two minutes to help everyone briefly review the tactics, and the rest of the time was handed over to Byron Scott.

Scott recounted his time when he won the championship with the Lakers.

"We've had tough moments, and more than once. In the second round of the playoffs in '88, we tied 3-3 with the Jazz and then won by 7, and in the Western Conference Finals, we played 3-3 with the Mavericks, and we also won by 7. In the final finals, we played 3:3 with the Pistons, continued to grab 7 to win, and won the championship! ”

Dennis Johnson, the team's general manager, said: "Yes, sometimes wins don't belong to a stronger team, but to a tougher team. I won't tell you about the Celtic championship, I've said it many times. Today I'm going to talk about when I won the championship with the SuperSonics, you know, I was FMVP that year, haha......"

This is the essence of the team's management, in the 80s, the Lakers have the Knicks, and the Celtics have the Knicks!

Listening to the two celebrities talk about the past, the uneasy hearts of the Knicks players stabilized again. At the same time, their eyes are full of expectations, hoping that they can wear championship rings like Dennis Johnson and Byron Scott, and that they can one day be like them, showing off a lot of honors to the younger generation after retirement.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues, and the war was raging!

Mark Jackson had a sharp break in the opening game, and Bo Outlaw made up for it in time, but Jackson distributed the ball to Antonio Davis, who jumped high and put the ball in the basket with both hands!

59：47！

The Knicks attacked, Garnett received the ball and organized it in the high post, Charlie Ward came out to catch the ball around the screen, Garnett made a block for him and then went down!

The chances were not very good, Ward didn't pass the ball and threw it himself, and the result was an iron!

The Pacers attacked, there were no good chances after a few shifts, Chris Mullin held the ball and went up!

It's a pity that Mullin is no longer the one he was when he was young, and Nesterovic fanned the ball down!

Garnett picked up the ball and attacked quickly, the Pacers quickly returned to defense, and when everyone was not in a stable position, Houston received a pass at a 45-degree angle on the right side and hit a three-pointer!

Swish!

Entered!

59：50！

The Pacers attacked again, didn't score, Garnett and Charlie Ward played a pick-and-roll, and Ward passed back!

Garnett, who was standing at the top of the arc, made a three-point shot and hit another shot!

59：53！

Larry Bird stood up and shouted at the Pacers players, apparently unhappy that Garnett had been given a three-point spot so easily.

The Pacers offense, the rotation came out of a misalignment, Reggie Miller singled Charlie Ward!

Charlie Ward is more than ten centimeters shorter than Reggie Miller, but he is not so easy to deal with, and finally defends the ball!

The Knicks fast-break, Houston and Beau Outlaw hit an aerial relay!

Dabo slammed the ball into the basket!

59：55！

In the next round, the Pacers attacked, Garnett pulled out Miller's ball in defense, and then strode down the fast break!

Miller chased after him, but there was no way to catch up, Garnett was too tall, so he easily rushed to the basket and poured the ball in!

59：57！

In the blink of an eye, 10 points were recovered, and the difference was only 2 points, and the home fans shouted excitedly in unison, cheering for the home team!

Knicks commentator Mike Brin said, "yes, just play like this, we can win!" ”

Walter Fraser said: "In fact, the gap between the Knicks and the Pacers is not as big as everyone thinks, and I personally think that the wins and losses of our two teams are 55 kai. ”

Mike Brin said: "If Maddie and Hornacek hadn't been injured, we would have won Game 3, but this is our home stadium and I'm sure we can get the scoreline equalised!" ”
