The Pacers who played away from home did not make a mistake, on the contrary, they played very organized, playing according to tactics on the offensive end, one board and one eye, even if they couldn't score, it didn't matter, anyway, the Pacers were not a team that was good at offense.

On the contrary, on the Wizards' side, they didn't play their own style at all, Li Kaiming was watched by the two people of the Pacers from beginning to end, Vogel didn't give him a chance to connect the ball, and the Pacers also deliberately let Leonard shoot on the outside, even if the latter cut to the basket, Hibbert, who is 218 tall, can perfectly protect the basket.

After the outside pass was open, Leonard didn't try to shoot, as long as he can throw it, the next round Pacers should be able to shoot...... Right?

It's a pity that basketball doesn't lie, if you can't shoot, you can't shoot, and the sudden opening described in Leonard didn't happen, after hitting two irons, he didn't dare to shoot anymore, mainly with his kind of shooting rate, every time he shot, he was hurting the team.

So for the rest of the first quarter, the Wizards became like this on the offensive end:

If it can be played according to Sanders's tactics, it will be played according to the tactics, but when the team's tactics are prevented, the ball just stays in Leonard's hand, and then the originally smooth operation of the ball immediately stagnates, as if the blood vessels have encountered an infarction, and the game looks constipated to death!

And Leonard, who is the party to the problem, feels even more awkward, when he gets the ball, the opposite side is not afraid of him at all, just let him take two steps to let him shoot, he rushes to the basket and Hibbert can't score at all, so he falls into an embarrassing situation......

Fortunately, Hinrich felt good tonight, scoring 11 points in a single quarter to help the Wizards hang the game, and the Wizards trailed by 3 points at 26-29 at the end of the first quarter.

Consol on the commentary bench was very dissatisfied with Sanders' performance, "Lee, who is the core of the team, only made 2 shots in the first quarter, and there are always two people next to him, why does the head coach turn a blind eye?" When the core of your team can't play, what do you win? ”

At this time, Sanders was not in a hurry at all, he was just observing Vogel's defensive set-up, so when he heard the home commentator criticizing him, he wanted to say a word to Consol:

I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry!

During the break after the end of the first quarter, Sanders said to Li Kaiming alone after talking about tactics, "You have to play center from the second quarter, can you withstand it?" ”

"No problem!" Li Kaiming replied categorically.

Sanders has already arranged the rotation arrangement for the second quarter just now, and I have to say that Vogel's defense is still a little something, at least the Wizards' starting lineup is currently impossible to crack, because no matter how powerful the tactics are, it is impossible to help Leonard, who was empty, throw the ball in.

So the tactics to deal with Vogel are very simple, just take out the five-out lineup that played for a season last year, let Leonard go off the court, and replace Thompson as a small forward, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that Li Kaiming, who plays the role of center in the five-out lineup, needs to fight hand-to-hand with 218's Hibbert under the basket.

Li Kaiming doesn't have any problems with this, he originally started by playing center, and he hasn't met a 218 center in NcAA, isn't he still hammered?

What's more, he can also pull out the wrong position to play Hibbert on the offensive end, the latter's athleticism is very good, but compared to him, it is a drop in the bucket.

The second quarter of the game started quickly, and when Vogel, who was standing on the sidelines, saw the Wizards' lineup, his brows immediately furrowed, and then immediately shouted at Hibbert on the court.

"Roy, watch the rebound!"

Hibbert looked at Li Kaiming opposite, and the coach's reminder sounded in his ears, he knew that this time it was his turn to face the challenge!

At the beginning of the game, the Wizards served first, and after halftime, Li Kaiming was still strictly guarded, but this time the Wizards missed not Leonard's offensive black hole after running the tactics.

New guard Kenny got an open chance in the middle range and he didn't hesitate to shoot it!

28 to 29!

The Pacers served to the frontcourt, and guard Darren Collison made a direct pass to Hibbert, who was stuck in the interior position, who used his height advantage to jam Li Kaiming behind him, and then received the ball and was ready to change hands to play a board!

But Hibbert underestimated Li Kaiming's strength level, and gently pushed his elbow on Hibbert's waist, and after gaining a little space to jump, Li Kaiming directly pulled the onion on the dry ground, raised a volleyball hat on the spot, and fanned Hibbert's layup out of the restricted area.

Coincidentally, the ball happened to fall in the hands of Hinrich on the outside, and after Li Kaiming landed, the perverted engine power burst out, and directly threw off Hibbert's accelerator and stepped on the end to rush to the front, and after two seasons of running-in, Hinrich and Li Kaiming have been full of tacit understanding.

Seeing that Li Kaiming had rushed up, Xin Li Qi knew that the opportunity was coming, and directly pointed a long pass target at the basket, Li Kaiming called to step into the free throw line in the fast attack, and then kicked the ground and jumped, gliding in the air for a while, and then grabbed Xin Liqi's pass with one hand and won it directly!

30 to 29!

A blockbuster exclamation rang out at the mcI center!

Consol, who had been depressed for a while in the commentary seat, finally had a passion!

"This is the Wizards! That's how it should be fought! ”

Li Kaiming's offense and defense directly brought up the team's momentum, and the Pacers served to the frontcourt to prepare to press time to play one, and by the way, cut off the momentum of the Wizards.

With 12 seconds left on the clock, Darren Collison on the perimeter passed the ball to Danny Granger, who dribbled past Kenny, feinted the latter at mid-range, and then took advantage of the time difference to hit the board.

Kenny's defense was spotted out, but Granger's shot was affected and the ball didn't go in.

Just when Li Kaiming was about to protect the rebound and push another conversion fast break, a tall figure behind him gave him an elbow directly from behind, and then he was ready to pick up the frontcourt rebound from the top of his head!

Exactly Hibbert! Vogel saw Li Kaiming playing center on the Wizards' side, so he wanted to take advantage of Hibbert's height and crack the Wizards' five-outside lineup by grabbing frontcourt rebounds.

Vogel's train of thought is fine, but he seems to have forgotten that a man who averaged 13 rebounds per game in the regular season, five more than the rebounding monster Hibbert in his eyes, could not even protect the most basic backcourt rebounds?

Li Kaiming, who was pushed away by Hibbert, directly lowered his center of gravity, pouted his buttocks, and directly pushed Hibbert, who was about to jump, to a stumbling one, and then stretched out his hand to grab the rebound, and rushed to the front court with the ball without passing it to Hinrich!

Hibbert was in hot pursuit, and other Pacers players also came over to stop Li Kaiming, but at this moment, Li Kaiming was like a wild beast after coming out of the cage, and all the obstacles along the way were directly rushed away by him.

However, this cost him to rush him, and when he rushed into the restricted area, the speed had slowed down, and with the cooperation of the Pacers players, Li Kaiming's layup was blocked from the basket.

At this time, Hibbert, who was belated, was about to protect the backcourt rebound, when a huge force suddenly came from his side, Hibbert only felt a slip under his feet, and the position he had stuck out under the basket just now was robbed by Li Kaiming!

And this is not over, in the subsequent rebounding competition, Li Kaiming used his strong continuous jumping ability to successfully point this frontcourt rebound into Thompson's hands.

Then Li Kaiming ran outside the three-point line, took the ball from Thompson's hand and pulled it up and threw it!

Swish!

33 to 29! Li Kaiming alone set off a scoring frenzy at the beginning of the second quarter! And he also did a very thoughtful job of protecting the rebounds.

Vogel's frontcourt rebounding tactics didn't have time to play at all, and Li Kaiming led the Wizards' five-out lineup to stretch the difference to 10 points, so that Vogel had to call a timeout.

Vogel knew that if he wanted to keep up with the Wizards' five-out lineup in terms of speed, he had to take the team's big center and compete with the opposing team for a small lineup.

But what he didn't expect was that when he took down the interior pillar that the Pacers relied on to survive, the Pacers were no longer the original Pacers.

Without Hibbert, the Pacers had no way to stop Lee and the rest of the Wizards from breaking through, and the game went by quickly, with the Wizards leading the Pacers by 12 points at halftime, 58-46.

In the second half, Vogel's side also seemed to find that he couldn't defend the Wizards without Hibbert, so he took the big center again and began to fight to the death with the Wizards.

And the second half, especially the last five minutes, is known to belong to Li Kaiming's time, and the two sides played back and forth until there were five minutes left before the end of the game, Li Kaiming broke out again!

The Pacers' double pack didn't make much of a difference, and even Paul George was fouled twice by Li Kaiming, and finally the game was over, and the Wizards won the series G1 at home, 11 wins away from the final championship.

Li Kaiming played 42 minutes, 11 of 17 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 32 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

Leonard and Thompson didn't perform very well tonight, the former didn't have much playing time because of the limited offensive end, and the latter may have not had a big break in 8 days, 1 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, only scored 6 points, but fortunately, the big brothers in the team stepped up in time and took the vacancy of two rookies at a critical moment.

That's why most championship contenders like to stock up on veterans with playoff experience, because the experience of veterans can make them feel comfortable facing any difficulties compared to rookies who have never seen the world.

And in addition to the first win in the second round of the playoffs, the day after the game, an even more exciting and exciting news came!
