Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1063 Pacers deserve respect

Vogel is still capable. When the outside world generally believed that the Pacers, who had lost two consecutive away games and had a huge score in both losses, were unable to resist, they returned to their home court and played the most intensely in the third game.

It is also the most exciting game.

The young people of the Pacers worked hard!

Vogel made the boldest change to the starting lineup. He finally realized that Hibbert was the key to this series. As long as he was on the court, the Knicks would continue to seize Hibbert's weaknesses and launch ferocious attacks.

No matter what tactics are used, the Pacers cannot make up for the weaknesses brought by Hibbert.

So Vogel replaced Hibbert!

David West, Paul George, Granger, Dengta Jones and George Hill become the new starters!

The height of this lineup plummeted, but the speed became faster. At the same time, the Pacers also had more outside scoring points.

This is almost like writing it on your face.

However, the commentators are not optimistic. After all, the Pacers have been fighting positional battles throughout the season. They reached the Eastern Conference semifinals not by offense, but by defense.

Such a change was equivalent to destroying most of his martial arts. At that time, Barkley even said that the Pacers would lose by more than 40 points.

However, this seemingly unreliable formation change allowed the Pacers to play an amazing game.

The Knicks didn't change their tactics, because the winning team usually wouldn't take the initiative to change, so the Knicks still chose to play run-and-gun.

Indiana fans are going crazy!

The scene was completely silent for a moment, and some fans even shed tears.

So strong!

There is still hope!

So at the beginning, the Knicks were actually lagging behind!

Granger and Paul George scored three goals in a row, beating the Knicks 6-0 in the beginning!

It's not that Hibbert is not used, but he plays with the second lineup, while Granger continues to play.

D'Antoni didn't care. Since the defense was already in chaos, he made the situation even more chaotic!

The Pacers used a small lineup, and after reaping the benefits, they continued to use the double three position to attack the Knicks.

An air of despair permeated the entire arena... Most people in the industry already felt that the Knicks would close the game in the fourth quarter.

But you have to know that tactics have inertia. It is unrealistic for the Knicks, who are used to playing fast in these games, to slow down all of a sudden. So after a few rounds, the Knicks unconsciously started rushing again.

The world is crazy!

"Use your last strength! Don't leave any regrets for yourself!"

Bang, buckle in!

…

And D'Antoni didn't expect the Pacers to work so hard, Hibbert wouldn't be able to do it!

The Knicks themselves think so.

On the bench, Vogel, who was not good at talking, also started to pour chicken soup. Oh no, maybe it was his truest thought. After all, he was not the master of chicken soup, Foss. Vogel slowly said: "My dream is

Leading you to the finals and winning the championship, I know, this is also the dream of each of you."

This enthusiasm was fed back to the court, and the Pacers players worked even harder.

102-99, the Knicks narrowly defeated the Pacers with 3 points, leading 3-0.

"Defend!"

50-43, the Pacers continued to lead at halftime.

However, despite falling behind, the Knicks are generally optimistic that they will make a comeback in the second quarter. The reason is very simple. The Pacers changed formation in the first quarter and caught the Knicks off guard. The Knicks did not adapt to their changes and could not slow down.

However, the Knicks quickly counterattacked. Zuo Li, Curry, and Thompson made key three-pointers one after another. Before the official timeout, the Knicks had narrowed the point difference to 2 points!

And in the last minute before the end of the third quarter, Zuo Li stood up again!

Jump shot, tip-in!

When the red light came on, the score became 76-78. The Knicks, playing away from home, achieved a lead in this quarter.

"Defend!"

The Pacers have worked hard enough. Granger even played 36 minutes with an injured leg. Even so, can't they win a game?

"Walkers okay!?"

The commentators looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Until the last 2 minutes, the score difference was still 2 points!

The most outrageous thing is that the Pacers pressed hard and caused the Knicks to make two consecutive mistakes. Although the Pacers were anxious and chose three points instead of two points twice, thus missing the opportunity to take the lead, the suspense was kept until the last 15 seconds!

The basketball was given to Zuo Li, who broke through hard and scored a layup, resulting in 2+1!

The Pacers will have no regrets!

After the timeout, although the Knicks changed their tactics and no longer rushed, but instead asked Zuo Li to play inside, Zuo Li lived up to expectations and scored four points in a row to help the Knicks break the scoring drought.

After this goal, the suspense of this game is completely over!

As long as the Knicks, who always have the league's absolute best interior combination, want to play, the Pacers' lineup will easily be defeated by the Knicks.

When the Knicks started the fourth quarter with all their main players, the Pacers actually held off the score!

Granger broke through and made a fadeaway jumper, which was blocked by the left winger, but the basketball bounced off the frame and went into the frame.

It’s indeed ok!

But in the second quarter, according to the Knicks' adjustment ability, they were able to control the pace and play against the Pacers.

Deng Tai Jones made a three-pointer and David West made a mid-range shot. After the timeout, it was 5-0 again. The Knicks called two timeouts in two minutes!

"Could it be that???"

Damn it, what did we see!?

Unexpectedly, in the second quarter, Vogel's second move came out.

"But I think, I'm afraid we have to accept the reality, guys, this is our third game with the Knicks, we can't be swept!"

This time coincides with the Knicks' formation changes.

So the second quarter turned into a hand-to-hand battle again. Although Randolph took advantage of the left position, Hibbert and David West were still very powerful in the positional battle. They attacked and defended, and they actually fought against the Knicks.

Evenly matched.

In the second half, the Knicks, who were trailing at halftime, changed their lineup again, with Klay Thompson, Zuo Li, Battier, Curry and Danny Green taking the field.

However, the Pacers did not give up, and at the same time, the balance of luck shifted a little towards the Pacers.

Zuo Li was confused, because in his memory, Hibbert was still the starter until the season when the Pacers completely collapsed. It was not until the Pacers failed to make the playoffs, Vogel stepped down, and Hibbert was traded.

"Defend!"

Zuo Li retaliated and quickly organized a frontcourt press. George Hill dropped the ball. Within a few seconds, the basketball changed hands several times, and then went around and around until it was in the hands of Paul George.

"We have worked so hard on the training ground, and we are just waiting for that day!"

The fourth quarter was so intense!

Everyone was stunned!

Then the fans at the scene burst into the most enthusiastic passion.

This gave the Pacers enough opportunities to lead 28-20 in a single quarter for the first time in the series.

After the game, the Pacers players collapsed on the court, and Hibbert even shed tears.

They want to win so much.

It's just a pity...

After the game, Zuo Li spoke highly of his opponents: "They played very well. They are opponents worthy of respect."
