After switching to a mixed lineup, the Pacers, who had better bench depth, are now a bit of a loser.

The Knicks scored five straight points in the Kombat whirlwind, which was still two very beautiful athletic scores.

In this way, this is the home court of the Knicks again, and all of a sudden the Knicks completely have the upper hand in momentum.

Generally, when the team encounters this situation, they may be very anxious and will work hard, but the Pacers will not for the time being, the Pacers are calm and elegant, so even if they encounter a crisis, they will show that they are not in a hurry.

The Pacers' unhurried attitude is sometimes a good thing, it will not make the team panic atmosphere, and sometimes it will be more helpless, and the Pacers will have a slight chance to be ruthless when they encounter a hard encounter.

The Pacers were still unhurried at this time, and the team had a calm demeanor and unhurriedly launched the half-court tactics.

This time, the Pacers still focused on Roy Hibbert, and under the cover of his teammates, he gave Thornton to the card owner under the basket.

After the card owner of Thornton, Roy Hibbert took the ball and shook it towards Thornton.

Thornton was hit by Roy Hibbert before, and knew that it was unwise to fight Roy Hibbert, and Li Feng's break also gave Thornton inspiration.

At this time, Thornton was not stupid and just a forceful opponent, but he went up to the top and made a steal, which was copied towards Roy Hibbert's hand.

Roy Hibbert didn't expect that such a stunned young man as Thornton would come up directly to steal, and at this time he just raised the ball, and he saw that the ball was broken by Thornton without suspense, and the Knicks cut off Roy Hibbert's ball twice in a row.

Suddenly, Vogel touched his beard angrily, and George waved his fist angrily and scolded on the side.

Thornton didn't expect the ball to break so easily, and he almost immediately threw it at Belle, who was running in front.

The Knicks played several efficient rounds in a row. This time, there was finally a mistake.

Belineri broke through with the ball, but did not protect the basketball, and the basketball was stealed by Gerard Green.

Although Gerald Green's steal on the Pacers' side is a lot of credit, after the steal, his handling of the ball is frizzy, and he passes directly to the front when he takes the ball, and he doesn't see anyone with the Knicks on the passing route at all.

As soon as Li Feng saw that the basketball was passing to his head, he immediately intercepted the basketball with both hands as if playing a volleyball net. The Knicks formed a counter-robbery on their side, also after this. The Pacers' attention was on Li Feng, but Li Feng took the ball and threw the basketball directly above the Pacers' basket.

Just where Li Feng's basketball fell, a big man suddenly appeared there. Thornton usually makes some laughable mistakes, but when it comes to air relays and blocks.

Thornton will immediately turn into a prehistoric monster, only to see Thornton catch the ball with both hands. The hand was almost half an arm higher than the basket, and the ball slammed into the Pacers' basket.

"Bang dang!"

The Knicks hit three fast breaks in a row. Each of these three fast attacks is more beautiful than the other. Chase three-pointers, cut layups, and air relays.

With these three balls, the morale of the Knicks is like wildfire in the barren meadow. And the Pacers, on the other hand, still seem a bit "English gentleman" and unhurried.

Seeing that the point difference had widened, and the Knicks and Li Feng were both players who were good at convulsions, Vogel pulled the neat collar of his suit. Chewing gum, standing up and calling a timeout, the Pacers players returned to the bench one by one. Vogel's expression was calm, and he didn't rebuke angrily. He didn't shout loudly, he just took out the tactical board and started to rearrange the tactics and start making substitutions.

Vogel is also unhurried on the surface, but the Pacers' players don't dare to be careless about Vogel's command.

Vogel did not continue to be conservative on the sidelines because of the Knicks' offense, but continued his previous calm style.

He brought all the substitutes to the pitch in turn, replacing George with DJ Augustin, Roy Hibbert with David West, and Lance Stephenson with Sam Young.

Vogel made the usual substitution and didn't put more pressure on George in terms of time. And after he changes this lineup, the team's speed will definitely speed up immediately, and this lineup can be said to be the most flexible lineup for the Pacers.

After Vogel saw the speed of the Knicks, he also began to play with the tactics of small balls and test the opponent.

After the Pacers came to the bench, the whistle blew and the Pacers called again, and it was to see that the space of the Pacers was really open and open.

Two guards, two versatile forwards, and one David West in the middle, the space is not open.

After this lineup, David West became the well-deserved core of the team.

He started to command the team at half-time, and then directly occupied a waist position on the left, and after the card was in the position, David West also asked for the ball outside.

DJ Augustin is an easy pass to David West, David West takes the ball again, Thornton this guy is a very interesting David West is also Roy Hibbert!

came up and made a direct steal, but David West easily dodged, then pressed up and squeezed to a favorable position, and then threw a very beautiful hook.

David West's hook hand is really very beautiful, the rhythm and hand shape are almost perfect, and the jumping man Thornton can only watch the opponent's hook hit.

David West scored immediately when he came back, and finally stopped the bleeding for the Pacers, and in terms of function, David West is indeed much more reliable than Roy Hibbert.

The Knicks are naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity to expand the results, and Tyberdu did not replace all the substitutes like Vogel, but still threw Li Feng on the court, he wanted to expand the score.

Just after the Pacers scored, the Knicks immediately bit the Pacers' ass and chased after them, but this time there was no advantage to catch up.

The Pacers now have a small lineup, with both guards being fast, and two forwards being tall and versatile. This stifled the Knicks' speed.

The Knicks were not as fast as the other party at this time, so all of a sudden the Pacers blocked the Knicks' fast break.

In this case, the Knicks also immediately switched to positional offense, and at this time the Knicks had Kirilenko on the outside to respond, so the Knicks naturally played a tactic of opening up the air.

Li Feng immediately made a cross cover with Kirilenko, took the ball and squeezed it under the opponent's basket, and passed comfortably to Belineri in the bottom corner.

Belineri had space to take the ball at this point, and he was now moving more and more towards the Gunners' route.

With such a large space, it was enough for him to come, and Belineri threw a three-point shot directly with the ball.

Belineri made a decisive three-pointer. But what was very frustrating was that Belineri's three points had been smashed out, but the basket refused to receive the goods and spit out the basketball again.

The basketball was spit out, and the Pacers' small lineup began to suffer when it came to grabbing rebounds. Thornton, the jumping beast, actually pulled the basketball out of David West's head. The Forest Spirit was a blessing in disguise and grabbed another frontcourt rebound.

Parsons grabs the basket in the back. turned around and passed to Li Feng, Li Feng saw that his chance was not bad, the opponent's defender was a big step away from him, and he immediately raised his hand and threw a three-point shot.

But as soon as Li Feng made a move, he felt bad, because Li Feng felt that his hand was very stiff. The basketball was in your hand as if you couldn't hold it. Such a shot naturally missed, and it was ridiculously off, and it fell directly into the rebound and actually fell into the hands of Kirilenko.

The Knicks missed consecutive shots and grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt. It's the half of the Pacers who are engaged in the grass and trees. Kirilenko was also a little frizzy at this time, taking the ball and throwing directly with a quick shot, but sadly, the steady Kirilenko also missed the shot.

The Knicks were not blessed to take it back, and Hansbrough protected the basketball under the basket.

Hansbrough protected the basketball, and the guy turned and dribbled himself towards the Knicks' halfcourt.

Although Hansbru is a No. 4 position, he can also advance with the ball and is not weak in ball control. In this way, it depends on the Pacers who quickly counterattacked back, and the Pacers' speed is not weaker than that of the Knicks.

However, it must be pointed out that the Pacers' fast break is still not as professional as the Knicks. Although the ball was pushed up, it didn't open up a little bit in the run, so it was a very good opportunity to break fast.

For a team that can run a fast attack, several players must have a shooting range, and they must also be able to run without the ball, so that they can intersperse running and play endless changes, but at this time, several people of the Pacers are slightly lacking in training, and the fast break is not played.

The basketball can only be handled by David West, who runs over at the end and gets the ball at the free throw line.

Facing Thornton, David West saw very sensibly that Thornton was a jumping man with a flowing body, and he would be very happy to play this kind of player if you fought hard with him. But if you use technique to trick him, he will be depressed and feel bored.

David West took the ball at this time and played sullenly to spy on the step, a spying step, raised his hand to feint, and then spying step, after the opponent was a little careless, David West got up and shot the mid-distance basketball was easily landed in the Knicks' basket.

The jumping man met the technical man and really suffered, Thornton was hit two balls in a row, and this guy really started to get impatient.

Players who are accustomed to using their bodies to solve problems will be at a loss when they find that their bodies cannot solve problems. Therefore, no matter how good a player's physique is, he should not just eat his old book, because if he does not make good use of his physique, he will not have any advantage at all.

The Pacers' two consecutive pairs of David West finally chased the score back, and at this time the Knicks had managed to hit a small high. The tide was basically suppressed. This is not at all the effect that the Knicks wanted.

So at this time, the Knicks were also a little anxious, and they came over and passed the basketball directly to Li Feng, so that Li Feng could find face for the team.

Li Feng also happened to have this meaning when he got the ball, and he glanced at Sam Yang who was defending himself with the ball, and he also played a probing step.

Sam Young is also the average type of player who can do some of everything, but he can't do anything well, and Sam Young is not bad defensively on the defensive end. It's trustworthy, but it doesn't have the kind of oppressive power that kills the other party.

This kind of defense is just ordinary for Li Feng, and he immediately stood on Li Feng's side with a tentative step, preventing Li Feng from taking the middle lane and letting go of the side, while David West moved towards this side from behind.

Sam Young knew he couldn't defend, so he used the team to defend as much as possible.

However, Sam Yang added a David West Li Feng was not afraid, Li Feng faced Sam Yang is to go up and force a breakthrough, squeeze Sam Yang away, and then take another step. Stepping back to the bottom line, David West couldn't catch up.

Li Feng got up and threw a wipe shot and threw the basketball into the opponent's basket. Li Fengtong's own singles finally brought back some of the Knicks' face.

Li Feng, who scored, immediately went over and patted Thornton's arm:

"Ferocious! Let go of the fight, it doesn't matter! ”

Li Feng came over to encourage Thornton. Thornton also nodded hurriedly.

As the boss of the team, Li Feng has the humility and gentle style of both Chinese. There is a tough side again.

If a team is inside. There's a mess of everything, this team doesn't have to focus, there's no way to concentrate, there's no way for the team to win.

Many powerful teams in the league ended up miserable because the contradictions in the locker room were not handled well.

Li Feng finally scored. But at this time, there were only ten seconds left in the first quarter.

The Pacers were not in a hurry at this time, the small lineup slowly pressed up, and then the whole team began to slowly pass the ball to make final offensive preparations.

The last ball of the quarter is still very important. This ball affects the team's mood for the entire quarter. If the team has been playing well before, and the last ball has been abused badly, the psychological shadow left behind is depressed, but the team has been playing badly before, but the last ball has been played well, the player feels hopeful.

At this time, the Pacers and Knicks also attach great importance to this last ball, the Pacers pass steadily, and the Knicks defend rigorously.

The last ball, Gary Payton also said at this time:

"In the first quarter, the two teams were basically normal, and there was nothing too good about it. There's nothing too bad about it either, it's a temptation on both sides! ”

Reggie Miller also said at this time:

"In the first quarter, George and Li Feng didn't score much, both under 10 points. Both teams also had fewer fouls and tackles, which showed that they kept the game above a certain intensity. Although the two teams are deliberately tempting, I don't think they will go on like this! ”

"That's nature! Such temptations have no effect! ”

While Gary Payton was talking, the Pacers' side began to prepare for offense.

Gerard Green took the ball and called Hansblu's cover, and he actually relied on his own courage and single-handedly killed the Pacers' fall.

Gerard Green's role with the Pacers at this time is basically the role of a-stirring stick. He broke through like this, and when the Knicks players immediately contracted, Brown turned around and passed the basketball to DJ Augustin.

DJ Augustin took the ball and faced Li Feng who was chasing, but it was a shooting feint, and then he took a step back and made a decisive shot.

Li Feng hurriedly blocked it, but DJ Augustin's shot of the ball was obviously an unstandard and somewhat random throw.

Li Feng has no way to defend this kind of ball, as if you can defend other people's shots and can't defend passes.

DJ Augustin's ball was thrown too casually and too non-standard, so Li Feng couldn't defend either, so he could only watch the basketball leap to his fingertips, and then actually "Huh! The thud landed in the Knicks' basket.

Li Feng didn't expect DJ Augustin's random ball to be hit, Li Feng was suddenly depressed, and let the other party throw it like this, Li Feng felt that his luck was very bad.

But Jordan DJ Augustin, who threw a goal at random, immediately clenched his fists and shouted. Scored this lucky ball on Li Feng's head! Naturally, he had reason to be excited.

On the last ball of the first quarter, the Knicks were hit by the Pacers, and suddenly the Knicks felt sullen as a whole.

At the end of the game, at this time, the reporter came up as usual to interview DJ Augustin, who shot the lucky ball, and DJ Augustin immediately said excitedly on the sidelines:

"The Knicks played fast today, but we also had a fast lineup. So we are not afraid of them, and today luck is on our side. As you should see, we're lucky, and now the Knicks are going to be in trouble. ”

DJ Augustin's pride made the Knicks feel very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.

During the break, Tyberdu and Vogel were constantly communicating with the assistant coach behind them at the same time.

Reggie Miller also said in the commentary:

"It's too early to say that the team will win or lose, and judging from the scene, the Pacers still have an advantage. But the Knicks are playing more efficiently, and I think the two teams should come up with something real in the next game. ”

Gary Payton immediately said:

"That's natural, now that the first round of temptation is over, the second round of temptation will come soon. I don't know what they think, but if it were me, I would definitely start defensively, use defense to cut the offense, and then break each one! (To be continued......)
