Iguodala played earlier than usual, because if he didn't play again, Li Liang's score in the first quarter would break 20 points.

Compared with Barnes and Green, Iguodala is superior in defensive experience, physical fitness and other aspects.

Moreover, Iguodala is an outside defensive method. To deal with Li Liang's offense, he still needs to treat him with the attitude of a small forward in the third position.

The Warriors sent the baseline ball, a tactical deception, Thompson found an open space on the left, received a pass from Green, and directly hit a three-pointer!

The Warriors' tactics are indeed rich and tacit. They thought that everyone's attention was on Curry when they wanted to run and pass, but they missed Thompson.

Li Liang shook his head and shouted, "Keep an eye on each of your opponents, keep an eye on it!"

In the Eastern Conference series, the defense basically didn't use command, and it definitely wouldn't work against the Warriors.

On the offensive end, Iguodala stared at Li Liang one-on-one. Li Liang screened on the left and then received a pass from Hill.

Iguodala is very close to the body, and at the same time the defensive coverage is very good, and he made enough interference at the moment of Li Liang's shot.

This was Li Liang's first missed shot in the field, but McGee from inside hit the rebound and gave it to Hill on the outside.

Hill caught the ball and made a three-pointer, hit!

This goal is extremely important.

After more than five minutes in the first quarter, the rest of the Pacers were finally able to hit a three-pointer.

At 25:16, the point difference remained at 9 points.

Relying on Li Liang's incredible offensive performance, the Pacers scored 25 points in the first quarter.

Now it seems that the status of other Pacers players is slowly recovering, playing better and better.

Warriors fans really need to worry about their team's performance.

Then, the Warriors made another mistake in the offense. Green's pass to Iguodala was too big and flew directly out of the sideline.

Iguodala's chance for this ball actually flew well, and there was a big space in the left corner.

However, Li Liang's choice of defensive position caused Green's passing line to deviate, and the ball was too fast, resulting in a mistake.

Li Liang looked up at the time, and there were more than 4 minutes before the end of the first quarter.

He decided to seize the opportunity of the Warriors' poor state in the first quarter and find a way to give them another shot.

This is Li Liang's style of play. Using his superiority in firepower, he pursued his opponent fiercely, gained a sufficient lead in a short period of time, let the opponent fall into the quagmire of chasing points, and then returned to the whole to consume the opponent to death.

Of course, many teams and stars will adopt this strategy. For example, the Warriors themselves are such representatives.

It's just that the Warriors rely on their overall offense and life-chasing three-pointers, while Li Liang relies on his personal ability (plug-in) and timing.

And his pursuit is really very, very fierce.

The Warriors make a mistake and the Pacers have the ball.

Li Liang held the ball across the half court, and Iguodala was inseparable.

At this time, McGee came to pick and roll, Li Liang made a simple change of direction and paused at a high position.

Iguodala is judging whether Li Liang is going to shoot or break through, who knows that Li Liang has passed the ball!

[One shot into the soul! 】

The ball passed through Bogut's crotch with a spin and landed precisely in McGee's hands.

McGee didn't even need to dribble to catch the ball, he stepped to the basket in one step, and succeeded in smashing and dunking with one hand!

This pass is really accurate and dangerous.

It is accurate, because after McGee receives the ball, he does not need to make any adjustments and directly attacks the basket.

It is dangerous, because as long as there is a slight deviation and the angle is wrong, Bogut's balls will explode.

Bogut was in a cold sweat, and he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.

This bastard Li Liang started to pass the ball, which really gave Cole a headache.

At 27:16, the point difference continued to widen.

Cole stood on the sidelines with his mouth pursed, thinking that the first quarter was almost over, let's get through the first quarter, it's OK to get through the first quarter.

The first quarter of the first finals was indeed a bit difficult.

But the first quarter is really not over, Green made another mistake in a high pass!

Curry ran back, and Green wanted to make a penetrating pass directly to the basket.

As a result, Hill didn't follow this time, and he rushed up to fight Green with Li Liang.

Green's pass was blocked like being blocked by a volleyball.

Hill grabbed the ball, held the ball and quickly counterattacked, and forced a layup with his left hand under the basket.

At 29:16, with a 13-point difference, Cole called a short timeout.

Continuous mistakes on the offensive end were quickly counterattacked by the opponent. The Warriors fell into a vicious cycle of being impatient, being counterattacked, getting more impatient, and being counterattacked again.

Kerr had to stop the cycle.

Under the leadership of Li Liang, the Pacers players are obviously more daring to play, and they are more resolute in offense and defense, and the effect is also very obvious.

Kerr replaced Thompson with Livingston and Bogut with Ezeli.

Cole is not small, and in this situation, he still insists on normal personnel rotation, so that the main players can get enough rest.

But the question is, do you really think you can survive this wave?

Li Liang's thinking is similar to Cole's. I can also give your main force enough rest, but the method is different.

Back from the timeout, the Warriors' offense stagnated a bit. In the end, Iguodala rushed to the inside and scored two points with a fadeaway jumper, breaking the scoring drought.

29:18, still 11 points.

Then, Li Liang caused another foul by Iguodala on the offensive end. After he cheated Iguodala away with a shot fake, he rubbed against Iguodala and successfully tricked him into a free throw.

Free throws are really a good thing. Adjusting the rhythm, accumulating power, killing, and not delaying scoring, it is really a must-have artifact at home.

Two free throws were made, and Iguodala's difficult fadeaway was a waste of time.

For the Warriors, the worst is yet to come.

Kevin Garnett came on the Pacers side and replaced McGee.

As soon as he came on the court, he immediately pressed Green's breakthrough on the defensive end.

Green's breakthrough layup is really completely out of the question. If no one gives him space, he rushes to the basket to face the defender, and he can only throw the ball casually to the basket, which doesn't even touch the basket.

Garnett turned around and received the rebound, and the Pacers quickly counterattacked.

Li Liang held the ball in the middle to attract the defense and passed the ball to Granger in the bottom corner.

Granger drove the ball to the basket, attracted double-teams, and then gave it to JR-Smith in the left corner. Smith caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Hit!

In the first quarter, the Pacers hit the sixth three-pointer.

The Warriors only scored a three-pointer. This is a three-pointer team. Under the man-to-man defense of the Pacers, they did not give full play to their three-pointer advantage.

At 34:18, the point difference came to 16 points.

No one thought that at the beginning of the first quarter of Game 1 of the finals, the Pacers really pushed the Warriors to the ground and rubbed them.

Curry then dribbled the ball continuously in the front, and shot a three-pointer directly after using the screen, but missed.

Li Liang got the backcourt rebound, he knew the opportunity came.

With a high double screen, Li Liang passed the ball to JR-Smith, and then he used the screen to go around 45 degrees to the right.

Smith gave the ball to Garnett in the high position. Garnett understood it and immediately passed the ball to Li Liang on the right.

Garnett first made a solid screen for Li Liang, then received the ball to support him, and immediately distributed the ball.

Li Liang received the pass, and Iguodala was thrown away by a position. Li Liang made a quick three-pointer...

The ball cut through the air in Oracle Arena like a knife, and pierced into the center of the basket!

The fifth three-pointer!

Li Liang hit five three-pointers in the first quarter, the score became 37:18, and the point difference went straight to 20 points!

Warriors fans are all confused, is this still a hairy thing?

Is this still the finals?

Then, Ezeli made a foul at the basket, went to the free throw line, made two free throws and made one, 37:19.

It was the Pacers' turn to attack again, and now that Li Liang had the ball, everyone was on tenterhooks.

The Warriors finally started double-teaming, and Iguodala and Green went together, and the others didn't care for the time being!

As a result, the ball passed Li Liang's hands for a while, and then made a hand-to-hand screen with JR-Smith. JR-Smith caught the ball, took a step back after dribbling, and made a direct three-point shot at 45 degrees to the left!

Li Liang brought enough confidence to Smith, let him vote.

"Shua!"

The Pacers made the eighth three-pointer in the first quarter.

The whole game was bleak, and the Pacers scored 40 points in a single quarter.
