In the third quarter, neither team called a timeout, and they fought until the end of the quarter.

In the final moments of the quarter, Li Cheng finally blocked Reed's offense under Granger's bag, and the Pacers had a chance to counterattack.

The Bucks retreated quickly, but after the Pacers had two simple reversions, Li Cheng once again found a chance to play Yi Jianlian.

"Li Cheng always leans back when attacking, and his body is tilted, which seems to be completely unaffected."

"The most important thing is that he has a surprisingly high hit rate, which is the most terrifying."

"Let's see what Li Cheng will do with this ball! This time his position was deep, and Yi Jianlian's outstretched arms had completely covered the space on the inside. ”

This goal, Yi Jianlian thinks that he should be able to defend it. Li Cheng's position to catch the ball is already in the reasonable collision zone, and no one will shoot in this position. And Yi Jianlian is confident that the defensive area behind his open hands can prevent Li Cheng from hitting the ball from any angle.

If the ball is given to Kobe Bryant, he will use his low feet to teach the interior players who defend him to be human.

But Li Cheng is not Kobe, he doesn't have Kobe's skills, but he has his own methods.

Li Cheng made a simple shooting feint, then he slapped the basketball, took a horizontal step, and then leaned back directly and threw the ball to the basket with one hand.

The ball was grazed by Yi Jianlian's fingertips, but the ball still grazed the front of the basket and drilled in.

Yi Jianlian shook his arm in annoyance, but his action was meaningless.

On the Bucks' last offense, Reed hurriedly threw the ball, smashed it on the rebound, and then bounced to the basket, but in the end the ball bounced out of the basket.

The Pacers went into the final quarter with a five-point lead.

In the third quarter, Lee Cheng shot 5-of-6 and hit a free throw, and he scored a total of 11 points in the quarter, plus his 16 points in the first half, he has already scored 27 points in this game.

And in this quarter of the game, because of Li Cheng's targeted attack on Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's performance in the third quarter decreased compared with the popularity of the first half, and he only scored 6 points and 2 rebounds in the third quarter. After three quarters, Yi Jianlian scored 16 points and 9 rebounds in a quasi-double-double, which was already a very good performance compared to his previous table.

With the Pacers leading by five points, O'Brien didn't make any tactical changes, but he did make some changes in personnel.

Li Cheng and Granger will continue to play in the fourth quarter, and O'Brien wants the two of them to go up and continue to attack, and directly take down the opponent in one go. Everyone else was replaced by O'Brien, and when it came to dealing with the Bucks, the others really didn't play as much of a role as Lee Cheng and Granger. The two of them can directly give the Bucks the most direct kill.

The bucks finally made adjustments, and they made targeted arrangements for Li Cheng. They still decided to follow the familiar routine - cut off the connection between Li Cheng and others, and cut off the Pacers' pass to Li Cheng.

The Bucks' approach is aimed at liberating Yi Jianlian, who is in an extremely hot state today.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yi Jianlian hit a shot, and then grabbed a frontcourt rebound. He scored four straight points to bring his score to 20 points tonight and grabbed his 10th rebound of the night.

Yi Jianlian played the level of a first-class power forward, and the number of 20+10 is a watershed for all the interior lines in the league.

Today, Yi Jianlian was able to play this kind of number, and the Chinese fans have completely fallen into crazy cheers. With Li Cheng's experience, Chinese fans began to fantasize that Yi Jianlian could become the second Chinese player to rise in the NBA after Li Cheng.

Seeing that the gap was reduced to only 1 point, O'Brien called a timeout very decisively this timeout.

The reason why the Pacers were able to get offense in the third quarter was mainly the result of strangling Yi Jianlian and letting Reid go. Now that Yi Jianlian has scored 4 points in a row, O'Brien immediately called a timeout and prepared to set it up.

O'Brien was replaced by Dunleavy Jr. and Daniels, and he directly put on a small lineup. He figured out the projection of guò perimeter to solve the problem of the inside line.

Yi Jianlian's defense has always been a big problem, and O'Brien's move is not insignificant.

The game restarted, and the Pacers' four tinkers circled around the perimeter, and Shaun Williams, as the Pacers' tallest player on the court, had little more than a pick-and-roll.

Li Cheng started running again, and Granger went straight to the inside after making a pick-and-roll with Sean Williams. Yi Jianlian, who was pulled out of the inner line, wanted to return to defense, but it was too late. Granger hit an easy layup.

The situation on the court of the Pacers was once again stabilized.

At this time, Dunleavy Jr., who was aiming to seize an opportunity to brush up on jù, suddenly made a force at this time, and he made consecutive three-point shots on the outside, plus two mid-range shots jointly contributed by Li Cheng and Granger. The Pacers scored 10 points in a row in 2 minutes, and the Pacers completed a wave of 10-4 offensive Xiaogao\ in an instant.

Next, the Pacers didn't stop their offense.

Daniels' breakaway forced the Bucks to not expand too wide, but the presence of Li Cheng and Dunleavy Jr. made it necessary for the Bucks to defend from the outside.

Because of the foreshadowing of the third quarter, the Pacers changed their formation again after the fourth quarter, and the Bucks' defensive formation was collapsed for a while. On the offensive end, the Pacers' defense is not tight, but they have always maintained a certain defensive rhythm.

In the Pacers' defense, the focus of defense is Yi Jianlian. As long as Yi Jianlian doesn't lift the ball above his head after receiving the ball, what awaits him is a broken ball.

Yi Jianlian's ball was cut by Daniels again, and the Pacers organized a counterattack again. Granger received the ball and ran wildly, and after two shaky passes, the pass found Li Cheng, who hit another mid-range shot to give the Pacers a 13-point lead.

"After the Pacers switched to a small lineup, the explosiveness of this score is really high! In just four minutes, they built a 13-point lead. ”

"After playing the whole game, they only led by five points at most, and four minutes ago, the Bucks chased the difference to one point, and now it has instantly widened to 13 points."

The commentary of Celestial Empire 5 is lamenting, but the gap between the two scoreboards in the Center of Conseth continues to widen amid the huge cheers of the fans at the scene.

Yi Jianlian was not a player who was good at self-regulation, he was close to collapse in the third quarter, and then he finally regained a little confidence in the fourth quarter, and was instantly crushed by the Pacers. Even if his ability is 30% better tonight, it will be difficult for him to make a difference in the next games.

In the end, the scoreboard was set at 91-109, with the visitors in front and the home team behind, as is customary in the NBA.
