In the opening jump stage, Hibbert still ruthlessly crushed Blatch, dJ Augustin dribbled across the half court after receiving the ball, the Pacers played a small range of pass and cut cooperation, Paul George used the cover to pocket out, but he was just a bait, the moment he received the ball, because he attracted the attention of the Wizards' two interior lines, which made Hibbert directly turn around and rush to the basket.

At this time, George threw the ball above the basket, and Hibbert caught the ball from the sky and blew up the basket, scoring 2 points!

The Bankers Life arena resounded with the cheers of the Pacers fans, and their team's opening attack ended with a dunk, showing that the Pacers' tactics worked and the goal was very easy.

The Wizards' players did not change their faces and their hearts did not beat, and after serving the baseline to the frontcourt, the Pacers still had at least two people serving Li Kaiming, but before this game, Sanders had specially prepared a tactic to deal with it.

Within half time, Li Kaiming and Klay Thompson began to circle the figure 8 inside the three-point line, Leonard and Blatch completely became two piles, in this case, the Pacers still chose to defend Li Kaiming decisively, so that Klay Thompson could get a split second shot.

However, the Wizards' tactics are not over, Thompson did not shoot directly after receiving the ball on the outside, but waited on the spot for a while, and the Pacers helped the defense rotate before passing the ball to Leonard, the part from the restricted area to the three-point line at this time is completely empty, Leonard can shoot without scruples, and no one is guarding him at all.

This kind of ball paralysis is still no problem, and the Wizards also scored two points, and the two sides fought to a 2-2 draw.

The Pacers attacked, and after coming to the front court, dJ Augustin called Hibbert's cover, and then the two of them walked together to the basket, Hinrich was stuck and could only follow behind, and Blatch struggled to defend Hibbert alone, let alone defend one, so Augustin entered the restricted area and threw directly at the basket.

At this time, Hibbert, whose speed had already increased, rushed over and grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and was about to make a violent dunk directly!

And at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared under the basket, and then jumped vertically like a rocket, with its long arms stretched out, like the hand of God from deep space, and pressed it on the basketball!

Hibbert's dunk was rejected by Li Kaiming's one-handed hat directly!

The Pacers' home court erupted in an exclamation as fans thought Hibbert was about to dunk again, and then sighed neatly after seeing the block.

The ball was pressed down by Li Kaiming, neither he nor Hibbert controlled the basketball, and in the end, Leonard, who rushed in, had the strongest sense of rebounding, and his hands were like robot calipers to directly grasp the ball firmly!

Seeing this, Li Kaiming ran to the front court with all his might, and shouted at Leonard, "Kehuai! Throw it forward! ”

After seeing Li Kaiming's movements, the Pacers' players also reacted immediately, from guards to centers, everyone began to run towards their own backcourt, like prey chased by wolves.

However, Li Kaiming is the fastest person on the court after all, and he has the advantage of starting, so he quickly became the person who ran at the front, followed by the Pacers' No. 2 Lance Stephenson, Leonard saw the opportunity to throw the ball to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming ran to the three-point line and received a pass, at which time Stephenson immediately posted up.

Li Kaiming didn't take this guy seriously, after receiving the ball, he directly put the ball together with both hands, and the ball protector put it on Stephenson's chest, and was just about to come to a one-arm split, when suddenly the referee's whistle sounded!

At this time, Li Kaiming, who had already flown up, felt like he was suddenly stopped when he was about to launch, extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable, and looked back after landing, and the referee on the sideline made an offensive foul gesture.

Li Kaiming was shocked, and turned his head to see that Stephenson, who had just been posted up to defend himself like a tough guy, didn't know when he was already lying on the floor, and when he noticed that Li Kaiming looked over, this guy also threw a wink at him!

Vomit! was tossed by such a big black man, Li Kaiming only felt that he was about to vomit out his breakfast this morning.

And the Pacers fans, after seeing Stephenson use his wit to defend against Li Kaiming's fast break, everyone applauded Stephenson lying on the floor, and many fans who had been prepared for a long time held up huge signs with Stephenson's photo and waved them constantly.

Although this is the home court of the Pacers, Li Kaiming still symbolically discussed it with the referee, after all, there should still be some pressure, in case the referee thinks that it doesn't matter how he blows tonight, it will be bad.

The Pacers attacked, dJ Augustin dribbled to the frontcourt, Paul George and came out from the baseline to cover one by one, broke through directly after receiving the ball, and met Li Kaiming who assisted the defense in the middle distance, and then passed the ball to David West.

At this time, Leonard, who was chasing behind George, took the initiative to switch to the front of West, and the latter saw that he was shorter than himself with facial paralysis, and immediately began to arch the ball to the basket.

Hibbert is still fighting for frontcourt rebounds under the basket, and if Blatch is only alone against Hibbert, the rebounds will definitely be snatched up, so Li Kaiming and Leonard both rushed in, and finally Li Kaiming used his bounce and arm span to pick up the rebound.

However, he did not pass the ball to Hinrich this time, but dribbled to the front court by himself, Hibbert was still behind because of the rebound, and in this case, the Pacers without a center could not block Li Kaiming's inside impact at all!

So he took a big stride, only dribbled the ball once after crossing the halfway line, and then put the ball together with both hands and began to make a three-step layup, which George, who was about to foul, did not expect, so he could only watch Li Kaiming rush in.

And just after Li Kaiming jumped, a black figure came in under the basket, it was Stephenson who had just defended Li Kaiming's fast attack, this guy seemed to have tasted the sweetness of the offensive foul just now, and was ready to use his own body to make a Li Kaiming foul, if Li Kaiming was allowed to carry 2 fouls at the beginning, the Pacers would have won half of today's game.

I think very well, but in fact, when he was standing outside the reasonable collision area, Li Kaiming had already taken off from the ground, this kind of offensive foul was impossible to give even at his own home court, and the referee on the bottom line decisively signaled that it was Stephenson's blocking foul, and Li Kaiming also ended the attack with a soft pick.

2+1！

Li Kaiming walked to the free throw line, and Stephenson, who was stuck in the position, also responded with a wink, since he wants to play this kind of psychological warfare trick, then let's play with him to the end!

With a free throw, the Wizards lead 5-2!

The Pacers served to the frontcourt, and Paul George used the cover to get rid of Leonard's defense again, and then received the ball and dribbled a step to shoot directly to help the Pacers bite the score.

The Wizards attacked, after Hinrich arrived in the frontcourt, Li Kaiming went up to cover, and the blocking of two people attracted three people to defend, Hinrich hit the ground to Li Kaiming of Xia Shun, and when the latter received the ball, the Pacers already had two people blocking the route of his breakthrough.

So Li Kaiming decisively chose to pass the ball to Leonard, who was in the middle distance vacancy, and the latter no longer hesitated as in the previous game after receiving the ball, and shot directly and hit the board from the side!

The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides is to press until the last few seconds before shooting, mainly because the Pacers deliberately pressed the time to play, because Vogel wanted to weaken the Wizards' offense, first of all, to reduce the number of rounds in the game, and then compress the rounds as much as possible to prevent the Wizards from playing fast break, after the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought 24-23, and the Wizards led by 1 point.

In the second quarter, the performance of the rotation lineup was decent, and by the time Li Kaiming led the five-foreign lineup on the court, the score had come to 38-36, and the Wizards still maintained a slight lead, which shows that the depth of the Wizards' lineup is indeed terrifying.

After changing to the five-outside lineup, Li Kaiming became the team's center, while the Pacers still let David West defend him, and Hibbert's body was still too bulky to keep up with Li Kaiming's speed.

The Pacers attacked, and after Paul George came on, he came out of the cover pocket and received the ball directly into the hands of Hibbert, who went down.

Li Kaiming used his lower limbs to resist Hibbert, and at the same time stretched out his arm to interfere with the latter, although Hibbert is taller than Li Kaiming, but his ability to handle the ball is too poor, or he can only be a cake eating center.

Originally, Hibbert had already taken three steps after receiving the ball, and the rhythm was immediately messed up by Li Kaiming, and in the end he could only barely make a crooked layup, and the basketball was grabbed by Li Kaiming after going around the basket.

The Pacers quickly retreated, and the Wizards fell into a positional battle offense, and this round the Wizards suddenly changed to a classic triangle offensive position, with Hinrich standing on the outside holding the ball on the same side as Li Kaiming, while the other three people were pulled to the other side to form a triangle, but the Wizards' triangle was more outward than that of the Bulls and Lakers, because the big forward Lewis at this time was more threatening on the outside than on the inside, which was specially designed by Sanders.

On the Pacers' side, David West was still stuck on the inside with Li Kaiming, while center Hibbert was waiting for the rim on the edge of the box on the opposite side, while Paul George simply let Leonard go to wrap up Li Kaiming.

Because George came from the upper line to wrap the clip, Li Kaiming chose a baseline to turn around, and at this time, Hibbert under the basket also reacted and rushed over directly to protect the basket.

In this case, the triangular offensive advantage of letting Lewis play the fourth position is reflected, Li Kaiming first raised the ball with a feint, shook Hibbert's hands, and then made a long pass directly from the latter's side to Lewis who retreated to the bottom corner!

Because the person opposite Lewis is Hibbert, who is protecting the basket under the basket at this time, Lewis's shot this time is a completely open position, and it is also the bottom corner three-point that he is best at!

The basketball arced through the air, and then hit with a swipe!

41 to 36! The triangle offense worked wonders as soon as it came up, helping the Wizards widen the difference!
