The Basketball Court Swordsman

Durant, Thompson and Curry are still working hard, although the outcome of a game does not directly determine the trend of the entire series. But no one wants to lose the game in the first game of the series. What's more, the Warriors have not completely lost hope of winning.

At this point, the fourth quarter has been played for several minutes. The points difference has been hovering around ten minutes. The Warriors couldn't push the difference further, and the Pacers couldn't push the difference further. The two sides are so stalemate, letting time pass.

And this situation has lasted almost a whole game.

In the first quarter of the game, Durant finally relied on Durant's appearance to finally restore the decline, and did not let the Warriors fall into the embarrassment of falling behind by double digits in the first quarter.

But the Pacers' performance in the first quarter has already boosted their morale. On the Warriors side, Kerr no longer dared to rotate players casually.

Thus, in the second quarter, the Warriors instantly turned into a 7-man rotation. In addition to starting the Five Tigers, Kevin Rooney and Livingston are the only two trusted rotation players on the Warriors.

It is worth mentioning that these two players are veterans of the Pacers. I have to say that there are really a lot of players who have mixed up after going out from the Pacers.

So people say that the Indiana Pacers are a star-making factory.

The advantage of the 7-man rotation is that the Warriors can maintain strong firepower at all times, but the disadvantage is that they lack variables. After all, these 7 people are always changing, and it is difficult for Cole to make any changes.

In this way, at the end of the half-time game, the Warriors were still caught in a double-digit vortex behind. And this difference has continued to the present, to the final moments of the game.

At this time, Durant made a cover for Curry. This was supposed to be Cousins' job, but due to Cousins' poor performance today, he only played eight minutes before sitting on the bench.

Curry broke through with the ball, and Rajon Rondo's devastation to Curry continued. Every time Curry stepped into the three-point line, he was bound to find Rondo's fierce confrontation. Every time he wants to score, he must pay a great price.

Curry made a small throw after entering the penalty area, because he found that he could no longer fight Rondo.

Originally, Draymond Green also got a shot, but Curry didn't pass the ball. In the previous three quarters, Green's performance was really disappointing. Now Cullining is willing to attack by himself, and does not want to throw the pot to Green.

As a result of this offense, Curry missed a shot that was blocked. The Warriors failed another offense. No one thought that the person who put Curry into purgatory today would be Rondo.

Siakam just jumped up and took the rebound with his own hands. He immediately pushed forward with the ball, and it seems Siakam is full of confidence today.

Becky Harmon felt strange at first. Henson obviously didn't talk to Siakam. Why did Siakam look like a different person today?

But as Siakam's performance got better and better, Becky Harmon also forgot this question. As long as it is brilliant, who cares why?

This time back, Siakam was still full of energy. He rode to the free throw line, but was blocked by Durant who arrived in time.

As a result, Siakam turned his back to hold the ball. Durant did not dare to slack off, he knew very well that Siakam's back attack was also quite threatening. In previous matches, Iguodala was not less likely to be scored by Siakam in back-up singles.

But when Durant was thinking about how to resist Siakam's back-up singles, the No. 43 forward suddenly turned Durant with a back and then went straight to the basket!

Durant naturally knew that every round now will determine the life and death of the Warriors, so he tried to block it. In the air, Siakam almost lost his center of gravity, and he was firmly covered by Durant, who was tall and arm-length.

But even so, Siakam still accurately hit the basketball backboard. The basketball hit the backboard and lightly refracted into the net. When Siakam fell to the ground, the Pacers also successfully scored.

Siakam got up and complained to the referee. He thought it should be a 2+1. However, this complaint will not irritate the referee, but will greatly improve the morale of the team.

"Pascal Siakam is crazy. This is already his 30th point in this game! In the last round of the series, Siakam was one of the worst players on the Pacers. 24 hours ago, people It is said that Siakam may become a loophole for the Pacers. But today, he is reborn in Nirvana! It is because of Siakam that the Warriors played so hard today."

Siakam is highly praised, this guy only made 2 free throws today. And now, the hit rate is still above 80%! This shows how efficient he scored 30 points.

When a team has a scorer that performs so efficiently, it is difficult for their opponents to win.

"The Pacers' performances from the benches today are very good, but Siakam is the best among them. On both ends of the offense and defense, he played a completely different performance from the Eastern Conference finals. People say that Siakam may be difficult Adapt to the intensity of the finals. But don’t forget, this is not the first time Siakam has played in the finals!"

Henson couldn't hear what the speakers said, but he was sure that the goal just now gave Siakam the unanimous praise of everyone.

Although his badge effect can only last for this game, after improving Siakam's self-confidence today, this No. 43 will no longer sink.

Henson looked at the time, and there were 3 minutes and 20 seconds left before the end of the game. Siakam's goal just put the Pacers ahead by 14 points.

The battle was still fierce, but Henson had already touched half of his hand to victory!

On the Warriors side, Steve Kerr is in a state of exhaustion. The poor performance of Cousins ​​and Green, as well as the weakness of the entire rotation lineup, made this game very difficult.

Livingston and Kevin Rooney’s two substitutes can’t score efficiently, and Green’s shooting percentage is only 22.2% so far... When others can’t share the offensive pressure, Curry, Thompson and Durant are the teams. "Trident" is naturally difficult to open the situation.

Today, none of the Warriors has shot more than 50% from the field, not even Durant. The joint cooperation of George and Antetokounmpo put Durant in a hard fight.

As for the others, Cole didn't dare to use it. He was afraid of being quickly opened by the Pacers like the first quarter.

As a result, Cole can only pray that one of Curry, Thompson and Durant can suddenly burst out to save the team. At the tactical level and rotation level, Cole believes that this game has been completely lost to Henson.

But Cole did not wait for their eruption, but instead waited for the eruption of George and Antetokounmpo.

At the end of the game, Henson gave George and Antetokounmpo a simple order: "Keep the game!"

As Siakam and a group of rotating players are in good shape today, George and Antetokounmpo have not been struggling on the offensive end. After a whole match, the two now have strength.

Looking back at the Warriors, Durant, Curry and Thompson were guarded from the very beginning. Now, I'm tired.

George and Antetokounmpo made the game lose suspense in an instant.

In the last 1 minute and 14 seconds of the game, George's three-pointer pulled the difference to 16 points. When there was not enough time, Steve Kerr stumbled back to the bench.

The Warriors lost hope of winning.

Although Curry and Thompson each scored a three-pointer at the end of the game, it was of no avail. Time has already passed in the struggle.

"At the end of the game, 122 to 113, the Pacers got a good start at home by 9 points! In the crucial finals, Coach Henson's team got a good start!"

At the end of the game, Siakam screamed. With 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, the overall shooting percentage was 82.4% and the three-point shooting percentage was 66.7%. He overpowered Durant, who scored 22 points, and Thompson, who scored 19 points, and even surpassed Curry, who scored 34 points, and was selected as the best player of the game.

The Warriors' substitutes only scored 12 points in total, while Siakam scored 32 points alone. The difference in the depth of the lineup between the two sides is clear at a glance. Henson let out a sigh of relief, his badge finally allowed him to win the game.

After the game, Cousins ​​and Green walked fast and seemed unwilling to stay on the court.

Yesterday, these two men were the most provocative against Henson. But today, they happen to be the worst performance of the Warriors.

If they don't want to be humiliated by reporters and Henson, the only thing they can do is to escape the court as soon as possible.

When Henson looked around the court, the two "ruthless men" of the Warriors had already run out of sight.

The Chinese coach shook his head. This year's opponent, he surrendered before he started spraying.
