The soothing voice of the flight attendant and the shaking cabin startled the sleeping traveler.

It's time to stop.

Taking off the blindfold, the gloomy sky outside the window could not be seen at all, and the raindrops drew a fine horizontal line on the window, directly revealing the weather outside at the moment.

"Shit weather."

The squinting Ao Fat just glanced up, muttered, and fell back again.

"Yawn~"

Stretching, Mo Wen took off his headphones and glanced around a little strangely.

Today's plane is a little too quiet, quiet and a little depressing.

Especially the two grandsons next to him.

They usually screamed at this time to liven up the atmosphere, but they didn't think that today was like drinking lethargic black tea, and they had slept until now since they got on the plane.

A listless look.

Lethargy...

Mo Wen's eyelids trembled, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.

These two people shouldn't either...

No, it can't be used, because he is the one who was attacked by the night, he was forced, and he didn't resist just so as not to violate the woman's will.

In the case of these two grandchildren, if they stayed at home honestly, they would definitely not be able to.

Forget it, no matter how you look at the result, he is laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps.

Da Fan, who was sitting at the back of the cabin, rubbed his glasses and put them on, got up and watched the players sit quietly and honestly in their seats, and nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at the three people who were resting quietly in the front row, and a smile appeared on his chubby face.

It's not easy, did the bear child finally know that he was nervous and began to lead by example?

He doesn't know how long it has been since he had done a quiet journey without rap, pop, or complaint.

Even if you can't sleep when you're older, you crave a quiet rest.

When was the last time it was so quiet on a plane? Oh, it seems to be the 5-company trip in mid-March and a back-to-back return trip.

···

[Indiana may not have created basketball, but basketball created Indiana.] 】

As the fourth largest state capital in the United States, India City certainly could not have been created because of basketball, but from this exaggerated description, it can also be seen that Big Cornfield loves basketball.

Dominated by agriculture and sparsely populated regional economy, this land is not suitable for football, football, baseball, which require the participation of many people, and basketball games appeared from this land more than 100 years ago, and it did not take long to become the favorite sport of people in this land.

So even if the team loses 2 in a row, the Conseco Arena is still full.

Cheers, shouts, whistles, banners, cheering signs, flags, every fan's face was full of hope.

What is a ball market?

With a population of more than 400,000 and a population of more than 200,000 in the downtown area, the Raptors' home attendance was only 60% after Carter's departure.

India, on the other hand, has a total population of 880,000 and an urban area of 500,000, and is sold out from preseason to playoffs.

Of course, in addition to tradition, the Pacers have been supported by the Pacers' impressive achievements in recent years.

In the 15 years since 1990, the Pacers have missed only one playoff game.

Although they have only reached the Finals once in 14 playoff trips and have yet to win the championship, this record is enough for every Indian to be proud of.

The only one who could compete with them before this season was the Lakers who could make the playoffs, and this year the Lakers did not make the playoffs, and the Pacers became the only one.

Win!

Pacers fans can be happy about this great record, but the team from Bird to the water cooler caretaker won't be satisfied just because they're in the playoffs.

Now the Pacers have got the same script as last year's East Finals, starting 0:2 again, fighting against the water, and losing another game is 3:0, so they don't have to play directly.

But this time it's better, last year they came up and lost two at home, and this year they are behind but the home team is still in hand.

Carlisle's strategy for this game has not changed much from the last game, he has made reasonable changes that can be predicted, and trying some other tactics will only make the situation more uncontrollable.

Sure enough, when the game started, the normal Pacers showed a completely different result from the previous game.

Not only because the whistle bias of the home whistle has changed, but the overall blowing penalty scale has also become much more relaxed.

NH rules are equivalent to abolition, the elbow on the outside line is basically not blown, usually someone falls to the ground or something, don't roll on the ground for two and a half weeks, and the referee doesn't look at you squarely.

Carlisle didn't expect the effect to be so good, and after his tactical adjustments were made, the Heat triumvirate was affected to varying degrees.

After the first quarter, Wade shot 1-of-3 from the field, 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, and had 2 3-pointers, 2 rebounds and 2 turnovers. Ao Fat was slightly better, shooting 2-of-4 from the field, 1-of-4 from the free-throw line, and had 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Although Mo Wen also emptied the magazine and successfully smashed the "darkness" with "Thunder", his outside projection-based style of play is not particularly physically demanding, and his shooting rate is the only one in the team that can be seen, 2 of 4 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 8 points, 1 board and 1 assist.

The Big Three can't be opened, and it is naturally difficult for other role players to get easy shots.

Hafat and Rasul hit one air cut and one mid-range shot respectively, and the other people who came on didn't have scoring stats.

20 points in the first quarter, the lowest score of the Heat's Big Three this season when they are healthy.

The Pacers players are not much better than the Heat players in high-intensity defense, but after all, this is their home court.

Xiao Ao finally found the shooting feeling, 4 of 8 shots, plus 10 free throws, and Atai also took advantage of Mo Wen to let his guard down and hit a fast-break layup and a bottom corner three-pointer, scoring 5 points in the first quarter.

Although the other players of the Pacers did not become more efficient, they still completed the lead over the Heat in the first quarter by relying on their control of rebounds and using shots to score.

28：20。

They also have a full 8-point lead!

Da Fan was beaten a little blindly, called a few adjustments in the middle, and arranged a few small tactics to let Wade and Ao Fat find their touch, but they didn't work.

As the saying goes: no desire is steel.

People with kidney deficiency have cold hands and feet, and it is normal for them to shoot not to hit the iron.

The two don't have the same strong observation as Mo Wen, but they can also know what the other party did before they came by relying on a man's intuition.

Therefore, during the break in the first quarter, the two said that they had a bad hand and were willing to assist Mo Wen to study the tactics of using the outside line as the offensive core.

Mo Wen is also very helpless, his physical strength is now the best among the three, but he has to rely on his personal strength to play a championship-level defensive team... It's bad, I'm Ajan.

In the second quarter, he said that he didn't want to hear it, but his body was still very honest and provoked the team's beams.

On the one hand, I don't want to watch the crappy performance of the two soft-footed shrimps, and on the other hand, I am worried that Riley will restart the training program because the loss is too ugly.

Ao Fat and Wade just didn't feel good and their physical fitness was affected a little, but it didn't mean that they were completely squeezed out, and they still had points in the playoffs.

So in the second quarter, in addition to increasing his own cover and shooting, Mo Wen also led the team to play a lot of high-post blocking and multiple covers.

Keep forcing the Pacers to switch defenses.

Pulling out the inside line made the Heat's control of the frontcourt rebounds greatly reduced, but in the continuous misplaced singles, the two soft-footed shrimp still found a certain state.

The margin in the first quarter was gradually recovered.

The stadium, which was originally noisy with gongs and drums and firecrackers, gradually became tense.

Until halftime, the difference between the two teams was only three points.

Mo Wen advanced in the logo area with the ball, looking at the remaining 7 seconds, and did not rush forward to find an opportunity.

Atay may have been sick in the first two games, just after the break before halftime, and now the defender of him has also become Miller.

Looking at the familiar stadium in front of him, the familiar people, Mo Wen's feeling suddenly came.

He strolled beyond the three-point line, waiting for the clock to pass.

"Watch out for his three-point Reggie!"

Atai's eyelids jumped on the sidelines and reminded loudly.

Miller raised his hand slightly, signaling that he knew.

Preoccupied, he glanced at the clock on the sidelines, and Miller licked his lips.

He had to hold on to the ball because it was only three points, but being tied at half-time and leading at half-time were completely two mentalitys behind the scenes.

When he looked up, he saw that the number jumped to 2, so he suddenly collected the ball and got up and slid to the side to make a gesture to jump up and shoot.

Miller, who was preoccupied, reacted in a timely manner.

He followed the direction of Mo Wen's movement, opened his arms and pounced.

Seeing that his fingertips were about to touch the basketball that was about to fly out, the basketball in Mo Wen's hand seemed to violate the law of inertia, not only braking the car alive, but even recovering it.

A big standing lever outside the three-point line, dodging Miller's black hand, as if in a hurry, did not pay attention to his position, and threw out sideways at will.
