The Pacers went crazy in the first quarter, with eight three-pointers, of which Li Liang contributed five.

Both statistics broke the NBA Finals record.

The score in the first quarter was frozen at 40:21, and the Pacers led by 19 points in a single quarter.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the first quarter, Li Liang's subtitles floated in front of him: [Get the achievement, the three-pointer in the single quarter of the finals, you will receive a special achievement reward...]

Li Liang found a string of ellipsis at the back, and he felt strange. A special achievement reward? Why are you still talking halfway!

This system is getting more and more ugly, and I don’t know what unlucky rewards to give.

For Li Liang, it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve success now.

When we first had an achievement system, we would get a rune or something because of "the first time farting in the NBA arena".

Now that the runes are collected, the achievements are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Some Li Liang thought it was an achievement, but the system did not recognize them at all, such as triple doubles.

Some people think it doesn’t seem to be anything, but the system even puts you an achievement and gives you some rewards. I really can’t see through you.

In short, the Pacers completely defeated the Warriors in the first quarter, with a 19-point gap.

The Pacers scored 40 points, while the Warriors only scored 21 points, and their offense and defense were completely suppressed.

Cole was still thinking that he was 10 points behind in the first quarter, and he survived and slowly chased after him.

But I knew it doubled all of a sudden, and the Pacers were in amazing condition.

But Cole believes that the Pacers will not always be so good, and the Warriors will not always be so bad. There are still three quarters of games, so the Warriors have enough time to adjust.

Not only Cole thinks that way, but Li Liangtm also thinks so.

"Defense! We must maintain our defense next, which is the first priority. We already have the lead. We are not an offensive team. Defense is our foundation. We must block their rhythm through defense, disrupt their offense, and make them unable to catch up! Defense! Defense!"

Li Liang reminded his teammates on the bench that he did have a good offense in the first quarter, but he had to focus on the defensive end later. He called "defence" several times in a row to wind up his teammates.

NBA players are also human beings. If they are human beings, they will be lazy and distracted. This is normal. They need to keep reminding and encouragement.

Bird looked at Li Liang carefully instructing him, stared at him for a long time, and then asked, "Are you a coach or me a coach?"

Li Liang said everything, Bird had nothing to say, he was right, and this was the Pacer's strategy.

Li Liang stared at Bird for a while and said, "If you don't mind, I can be an agent for a while."

At this time, the break between the festival has come, and it doesn’t matter whether you mind or not, you have to continue the competition.

At this time, Li Liang had to rest on the court for a while, and this period was a test for the Pacers.

To maintain stability, the Pacers line up Garnett, West, Shampoo, and Stephenson Gahill.

This is a set of arrangements with poor characteristics, but relatively balanced offense and defense, and especially steady inside defense.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Barnes forced himself to win the shampoo with his back and turned around and missed the jump shot.

Of course, on the offensive end, the Pacers seemed rather unkind. Hill cut in and passed the ball to West after pick-and-roll, and West was interfered with the layup and failed to hit.

The Warriors used Livingston and Barbosa in the backcourt. It should be said that the Warriors' bench is indeed very deep, and both are players with strong points-grabbing ability.

Barbosa and Livingston crossed the ball from the outside, and made a three-pointer after receiving the ball, but failed to hit.

Both sides began to fall into a scoring drought in the second quarter.

Shampoo also missed a three-pointer, and then Livingston broke through to the basket and was disturbed by the layup, snatched the frontcourt rebound and made another shot, but Garnett was blocked again!

Garnett can still contribute high-quality defense when he is physically fit in the first half, which is extremely important for the Pacers.

Compared with the operation that sent Granger away last year and exchanged for Turner, Bird's transaction before the trading deadline this year was really a magical operation.

However, Garnett really couldn't do it on the offensive end. He took Hill's pass at a high position and failed to make a jump shot.

Livingston finally broke the situation of not scoring for two minutes, and turned around and made a mid-range jump shot.

To talk about the finals experience, Livingston is the only one among the Warriors who has the finals experience, and it was last year.

Therefore, Livingston was very confident on the court and his movements were not deformed at all.

Of course, Livingston knew better about Bruce Lee's horror. As a member of the Clippers, he knew the powerful energy that Bruce Lee had in the playoffs that was unmatched in the regular season.

The Pacers' offense was still very slow. West held the ball at a low post and forced Azeli with his back. He still did not make a shot when he turned around.

After falling into the position, the Warriors' defensive interference was extremely strong.

Then, after receiving the ball at the bottom corner, Iguodala cut in with his back, turned around and made a 45-degree back and made a jump shot, and scored another 2 points.

The Warriors narrowed the gap to 15 points, and could barely see a little light.

The walker needs a cardiac in this case.

Garnett finally stood up, and the pick-and-roll was still in the high position. The Warriors directly grabbed Hill, and Hill returned the ball to Garnett.

Garnett did not make another jump shot this time, but dribbled two big steps to the basket and hit the basket with one-handed dunk!

The ball was scored, and Li Liang bounced from the bench, waving the towel frantically.

After the dunk, Garnett punched his chest as usual, which was very encouraging.

If the Pacers don't score again, Bird will probably call for a timeout.

The Pacers' lineup now has poor ability to pull the outside, and the Warriors can pile up at the basket.

But they did not expect that Garnett would have such a sudden attack in the stable.

Afterwards, the referee blew a defensive foul by Shampoo, and both sides entered the official timeout.

"We did a good job! Defense, defense is still the first priority. If they want to shoot three points, let them shoot temporarily, hold the basket, hold the basket! Rebounding, concentration, and after five minutes, I will be back!"

On the bench, Li Liang began to yell at the players again, Bird stopped talking, come to you the tactical board, you can draw it.

In fact, the Pacers don’t need any tactics. Now they just strangle, grind the rhythm, maintain a 15-point lead, and do not give the Warriors a chance to explode on the offensive end.

The Warriors showed very strong offensive explosiveness in both the regular season and the playoffs.

The advantage of 15 points is not very stable to be honest. You should know that the third quarter has not arrived yet.

If the Pacers want to win this game, they must be mentally prepared to withstand the Warriors' crazy counterattack.

After the suspension, Li Liang sat off the court to rest.

On the Warriors, Curry, Thompson and other main players were the same, and they did not make a appearance.

It seems that Cole also bets on the third quarter and tries his best to maintain the second quarter, so as not to let the Pacers expand the score difference.

Now it's the turn of substitutes on both sides to compete for the depth of the lineup.

Stephenson played a role as a nerve knife in the second quarter. This guy was also very nervous and was not at all nervous in the finals. He just got the ball.

Inside Garnett, West and McGee took turns to cover Fenson to cover the pick-and-roll.

Finson's continuous strong breakthroughs and strong shots from the outside actually scored several goals in a row, smoothing out all the points the Warriors chased!

The Pacers kept supporting Li Liang backed up, and the score between the two sides was 52:37, and the Pacers still maintained a 15-point lead.

Li Liang rested for a long time in the second quarter and came back, and he decided not to give the Warriors a chance to counterattack in the third quarter.

In the first half, the battle ended in the second quarter.

He called out the [Three-point Hit Rate Improvement Post] from the system...

Hey, where is my three-point shooting rate improvement post? Come on?

I've been preparing for the exchange center, come out?

Li Liang called out several times in his mind, but the three hit rate improvement posts did not appear!

End, what's going on? The system is broken? A bug happened?
Chapter completed!
