The Godfather of Basketball

After a timeout, the Nets double-teamed George, but the Pacers' open players felt good. After the first quarter, the score was 23 to 25. The Pacers were only behind the Nets. 2 minutes.

The rotation in the playoffs was much later than in the regular season, and the two sides did not complete the rotation until the second quarter.

The Nets have five substitutes, Livingston, Booker, Jefferson Jr., David West and Oden.

On the Pacers side, Hill took a 2-minute break in the first quarter and played again, bringing four substitutes, Rodney Stuckey, CJ Myers, Solomon Hill and Myles Turner.

Stuckey took the ball to the frontcourt, Turner mentioned the pick-and-roll from the three-point line, and Stuckey broke through Oden with the ball.

Oden stretched out his long arms and did not lose his defensive position during the retreat, like a mountain standing in front of Starkey.

Stuckey chose to toss the ball high, but the ball went over Oden but it was off the mark, and Oden turned around and accepted the ball after it jumped out of the frame.

With the increase of playing time and game experience, Oden's deterrence on the defensive end is getting bigger and bigger.

Livingston advanced the ball to the front court, and the ball was directly given to David West inside.

Solomon Hill sank to the top.

West directly crushed the back hit.

Hill belongs to the standard third position, and after reaching the top four, he is no opponent at all.

West went deep into the hinterland within a few hits, and rushed to the bottom line to turn around and hit the board before Turner's defense was in place.

"boom!"

Turner's movement speed is much better than expected, and his height of 2.11 meters is so fast that he interferes.

West's shot jumped out of the basket, but Turner jumped out to help defend and gave Oden a chance. He took off on the spot, grabbed the basketball that popped out, and made a violent dunk with force.

"Boom!"

The ball was pressed heavily into the basket, and the emotions of the fans on the scene were ignited at once.

Oden has improved more and more, and now it is not a problem to start with this strength in a weak team!

Hill dribbled the ball to the frontcourt organization, and Stuckey used Turner's pick-and-roll to rush to the basket. Hill had a good view of the overall situation, and a beautiful hit ball led Stuckey to a layup.

Stuckey catches the ball and is about to make a layup.

But at this moment, a figure quickly blocked him and blocked him between him and the basket.

Rondae Hollis Jefferson!

Jefferson Jr. has little effect on the offensive end, but he has a strong sense of presence on the defensive end. Not only is he excellent in single defense, but he is also top-notch in assist defense.

Stuckey saw that he was a rookie, and after a break, he directly chose to jump and throw.

Jr. Jefferson did not lose his position, and jumped up at the moment Stuckey threw the shot.

"boom!"

One hand directly covered the rising ball.

Starkey's underestimation of Jefferson Jr.'s ability caused him to be slapped positively.

The fans at the scene boiled instantly.

Booker reacted quickly, turned around and grabbed the blocked ball and protected it. The Nets played another wave of successful defense.

Livingston advances upfield and continues to pass the ball to West in the low post.

West continued to chisel Solomon Hill, but Hill still couldn't hold it.

Although West played as a substitute for the Nets, his strength is still at the starting level, and he is also the core of the Nets' tactics on the court at the moment.

Over there, Turner didn't dare to go to help defend, and Miles shrank in to help defend.

West reacted quickly after seeing it and passed the ball directly to Butler at the top of the arc.

Butler was going to take a three-point shot after receiving the ball. George Hill flew back after seeing it. Butler received the ball, and after being close to Hill, he swung it to Booker at a forty-five-degree angle. Booker didn't hesitate at all. Catch and release.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, the ball fell into the bag accurately.

There were endless cheers and whistles.

32 to 23, less than two minutes into the second quarter, the Nets directly sent the Pacers a wave of 7 to 0, and the point difference went straight to double digits.

Over there, Vogel saw that the momentum was wrong, so he had to replace George Hill with George.

He rested off the court for less than two minutes.

George came up and shook West and scored one to continue scoring for the Pacers.

But looking back, Livingston also scored one against Stuckey in the low post.

George turned around and wanted to fight again, but Jefferson Jr. directly double-teamed to help defend.

The ball came into the hands of Miles from beyond the three-point line, and Jefferson Jr. swooped back again, which forced him to interfere.

"boom!"

Myers missed a three-pointer and Oden received a defensive rebound.

Livingston continued to play Stuckey in the low post, Miles came over to help defend, Livingston gave Booker the ball, Booker missed another three-pointer and missed.

After experiencing consecutive shots from the second quarter, the Nets felt a little cold.

But looking back, George encountered a double-team and then split the ball, and was directly cut off by Jefferson Jr.

After all, George is not James, especially his ability to handle the ball is still far behind.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he directly fouled Jefferson Jr., interrupting the Nets' fast break.

It was difficult for the two sides to score in this period, and the situation was deadlocked.

This quarter played for more than 4 minutes, and both sides changed back to the starting lineup one after another.

The score on the court was 36 to 27, still a 9-point difference.

The Pacers' offense, George received the ball or was double-teamed.

Tang Tian knew that George felt good tonight, so he was determined not to give him a chance.

The ball returned to Hill, and Hill made a three-pointer, finally sharing some pressure for George.

But looking back, Gordon used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll from the outside to take the opportunity, and after receiving a pass from Jokic, he also made a three-pointer from the outside.

"Shua!"

The ball crashed into the net, a beautiful answerball!

The scene cheered loudly.

Gordon's performance after arriving in the Nets far exceeded most people's expectations. This is the feeling of playing a superstar in his rookie period.

George went to the frontcourt to miss a chance, and then assigned to Miles on the outside. Miles missed a three-pointer.

Jokic received the rebound, and a fake organization in the frontcourt tricked Mahinmi on the opposite side, and directly broke through to the basket with the ball.

The Pacers players were afraid of his pass and did not dare to help defend. Jokic drove straight in the middle and scored with a one-handed dunk.

The fans at the scene were instantly overjoyed.

The Pacers' offense relies too much on George. After George is double-teamed, compared to the Nets, there is no one who can stand up to share the pressure.

George scored Ellis again in the frontcourt, but the latter still missed a three-pointer.

When he stepped back to defend, George's face no longer had the excitement of the first quarter.

Hibbert, Stephenson and West have left one after another, and Hill's state has declined significantly. This Pacers team is far from the original five-tiger Eastern team. Now it is just relying on him to support it.

Deron's breakthrough layup in the frontcourt also caused Mahinmi's thug foul.

This is a 2+1.

Deron goes to the free throw line.

The live camera was shown to George on the side of the free throw line. George glanced at the score, put his hands on his knees, and shook his head helplessly there.

This is really losing my temper after being beaten.
