"Don't think about the score, concentrate and play, the third quarter is critical, and it's in this quarter. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At halftime, Pacers head coach Mike McMillan cheered on his players in the locker room.

McMillan is a pragmatic coach who never speaks passionately, or because of his innate personality or because of Vogel's influence, but the truth is practical.

Before the end of the whistle in the first half, the difference between the two sides has been stretched to 20 points, 20 points is not an irreversible point difference, if you play the third quarter well, the difference will be narrowed to about 10 points, there is still hope for a reversal, if you don't play well, the fourth quarter can almost surrender.

Obviously, McMillan did not have the idea of giving up the game in advance, although the gap between the hard power shown by the Pacers and the Knicks was far from it, not only McMillan, but also George, even if there was only a glimmer of hope of stealing an away victory, they were willing to try and fight.

Hope was good, but the reality was cruel, and after the start of the second half, the Knicks' shackled defense left McMillan in despair, and the other four of the five players could not find a single crosshair, except for George, who barely scored a few goals on his own.

Unable to attack and prevent, the Pacers' front collapsed, and in the third quarter, the Knicks won another 12 points in a single quarter, and the difference had expanded to 32 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.

In the final quarter of the game, the two sides sent substitutes to play for 3 minutes, the Pacers showed no signs of recovery at all, George sat on the bench and looked at the sky above the arena, his eyes were empty and godless, the Knicks were so powerful that they were at a loss, even if they were repeatedly defeated at the feet of James, George never felt so powerless.

As the Pacers catch the final train to the playoffs, George is hopeful for the future, even against the Knicks, George is not timid, and in his opinion, the matchup with Anthony is the perfect moment to prove himself and the first hurdle to cross into the future.

George even thinks that the key to success or failure in the first round of the playoffs depends on who plays better, he or Anthony, but he didn't expect that in the first game, Anthony barely played anything, completely playing the role of a foil for the green leaves, Rao is so, the Knicks still slaughtered the Pacers by more than 30 points.

McMillan also gave up, and the Pacers' main team never appeared on the court again in the second half of the third quarter, and the entire fourth quarter was spent on the court by substitutes until the end of the game.

"Jay, as a professional basketball commentator with a high professional ethic, what do you think of the situation on the court?"

Mark Jackson and Jalen Rose sat in the commentary seat and watched boringly, the commentary became secondary, and the ridicule of each other became the main style, and even livened up the dull atmosphere of the scene.

Rose vowed to support the Pacers before the game, and the current situation is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to Rose, and Mark Jackson's words add fuel to the fire.

"The situation on the field? I can't see it clearly, and I can't even name the players on the field. ”

Rose shook his head awkwardly, and laughed at himself helplessly, meaning that the pure substitute players on both sides, as well as some super edge players who rarely had a chance to get on the table, had completely lost their enjoyment.

124-95, the Knicks slaughtered the Pacers at home, made a good start to the first round of the playoffs, and laid a good start.

After the game, Bird was interviewed by the media, and he kept silent, completely devoid of his former pride and wildness, because Bird saw that the Knicks showed a strong strength that the Pacers could not match.

The result of one game is a microcosm of a series, and the second game continues at the Madison Square Garden arena, the Knicks still did not give the Pacers any chance, slaughtering the Pacers by 20 points again, and Porzingis turned over the river on the inside, cutting down the luxurious statistics of 30 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks.

In the third game, the Pacers returned to their home court with a 0-2 disadvantage, eager to rebound strongly, after all, once they fell into a 0-3 situation, even the Da Luo Immortal would be difficult to save.

In fact, the Pacers did bounce back strongly, playing extremely tenaciously throughout the game, and fighting the Knicks until the last minute, George showed the style of a superstar, repeatedly erupting in difficult situations, saving the Pacers from the brink of crisis.

The Knicks encountered the most stubborn resistance since the first round of the series, Anthony had to step up and play the pinnacle matchup with George as a top small forward, and not only that, but Rose also stepped up and fought Ellis with his ankle, and the game was extremely intense and exciting.

In the end, in the competition of key shots, George's dry pull missed the basket, but Anthony made a final decision and directly sentenced the Pacers to death, 98-96, and the Knicks scored again and gained a match point.

The third loss was fatal for the Pacers, who lost not only the game, but also their faith.

No team in history has been able to pull off a miracle from a 3-0 deficit, and the Pacers are no exception, continuing to face off in Indiana in Game 4 of the series.

Even on the home court of the Pacers, the Knicks did not give the Pacers a chance to return to New York, and the whole game blossomed inside and out, and the Pacers, who lost their faith, had no power to parry at all.

118-92, the Knicks slaughtered the Pacers again by a huge margin and returned triumphantly.

At this point, the Knicks swept the Pacers cleanly 4-0 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, waiting for the Hawks and Hornets to win.

"The Knicks are always next against each other."

After the end of this series, Wang Zhuo spoke for the first time in front of the media, and his words were still simple and concise.

Wang Zhuo's words immediately sparked a frenzy of discussions, some said that Wang Zhuo was a counterattack against Bird, some people said that Wang Zhuo was hindsight, and even said that Wang Zhuo was empty-eyed, and sooner or later he would have to pay the price for the 13 he had pretended, no matter what, the Knicks won without suspense after all, and they slapped the "Black Eight Party" with a loud slap.

The Knicks are soaring in the playoffs, but the Lakers' management is surging, and Buss Jr. has been in a mess lately, with the Lakers only having a 40-42 record in the regular season, ranking 10th in the East, and the poor record has triggered a chain reaction.

Following Wharton's resignation, the coaching team submitted their resignations, followed by shooting trainers, data analysts, scouts, and finally even the team doctor chose to give up on Buss Jr.

Except for Kubcek, little Bas has no one to rely on, and he is completely in a situation of betrayal and separation, and the last straw that breaks the camel's back will come as scheduled. (To be continued.) )
