The Basketball Court Swordsman

On the court, the fans have lost the enthusiasm they had at the beginning. On the commentary stage, Kenny Smith and O'Neill actually didn't bother to talk for a few minutes. It wasn't until Barkley gave them a look of disgust that they finally opened their mouths.

On the side of the court, Devin Casey sat lonely on the bench, covering his face with his hands. Beside him is Drummond with a solemn expression.

This man scored a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds today, but as a "pie-eater" insider, Drummond's shooting percentage today is only 44.4%. And on the defensive end, Drummond did not contribute much. Lopez hit three 3-pointers today, all thanks to Drummond's lack of timely defense.

At the same time on the court, Antetokounmpo used his stride shooting star to break down the "fortress" that Griffin had built with his body. Griffin was already a little overdrawn at this time and couldn't keep up with Antetokounmpo's pace.

And since Lopez has scored three three-pointers today, the Bucks' defense is not afraid to shrink. In this way, Antetokounmpo completed another performance of bombing the basket. After this goal, Antetokounmpo has already scored his 38th point in the game.

40 minutes away from a single game, only one step away.

"Goal again, Antetokounmpo’s offense is simply too easy. Griffin tried his best, but still can’t keep up with Antetokounmpo’s pace. Before the game, many Detroit media believed that Griffin would be there. In the series, Griffin also said that he would spare no effort to play. They did not deceive, but the cruel fact is..."

Kenny Smith was halfway talking, and suddenly paused. Because he knows that his next remarks will offend many Pistons fans. But I can't swallow it back when I say everything. So the guy continued.

"But the cruel fact is that even if Griffin spares no effort to play, he is not an opponent of Antetokounmpo and Henson Joe!"

Antetokounmpo's goal gave the Pacers a 16-point lead over the Pistons in the final 2 minutes and 48 seconds of the game. Devin Casey is not going to give up yet, he doesn't want to just admit his failure like this.

So, he did not change, nor did he pause. He still has hope for Griffin, and sometimes, it may only take a few three-pointers to reverse the situation.

However, Griffin was still lost in front of the huge power gap between the two sides. After a Pistons attack, Griffin's layup knocked out again. Antetokounmpo's tough defense gave Griffin tremendous pressure and made it difficult for him to score every time.

Griffin shot and hit the iron, and the Pacers instantly switched on offense and defense. This time, Antetokounmpo unexpectedly did not cut in, but ran out of the three-point line. It seemed that it was to open up space for George's breakthrough.

But just after George hit the penalty area, he suddenly scored the ball and the goal was Antetokounmpo from beyond the three-point line.

Antetokounmpo had already played with confidence and feel before, so this time his shot from outside the three-point line was also very decisive.

I saw that this season's regular season three-pointers will shoot more than 30% of the tall forwards. Basketball will pass through the net, leaving only a "white wave."

At that moment, a string in the hearts of Devin Casey and Griffin seemed to suddenly break. With 41 points in a single game, Antetokounmpo completely blew Griffin.

Griffin has only scored 19 points in the game so far, and every point in these 19 has been extremely difficult. From the first quarter of the game, Griffin was like fouling Antetokounmpo, but now in addition to giving Antetokounmbo 4 big fouls, he has only allowed Antetokounmpo to carry it 3 times. Itchy foul.

This three-pointer allowed Griffin and Casey to recognize the fact that the strength of the two sides is too far apart. Whether it is the gap between the Pacers and the Pistons or the gap between Griffin and Antetokounmpo, it is bigger than outsiders imagine!

Finally, Casey called to stop the game. He looked at Griffin walking off the court, and Griffin also looked at his head coach. But neither side said anything, because their faces were full of unwillingness and helplessness.

They were unwilling to be slaughtered by the Pacers, but helplessly, they were unable to make any resistance...

"Blake." After Griffin took his seat, Devin Kathy spoke first, "From now on, take a good rest."

Griffin was stunned when he heard Casey's order, but nodded quickly. He knew that it was time to give up this game. His beautiful wishes before the game were too naive.

Griffin sat next to Drummond, their expressions also lost. The two huge pillars supporting the piston have both fallen down.

Also falling, there is the Detroit Pistons' dream of wanting to peel off the defending champion.

As it turns out, let alone peeling the defending champion. The Pistons created a little difficulty for the Pacers, and they couldn't do it.

On the other hand, the Pacers bench is completely different from the Pistons. How lifeless the Pistons are, how cheerful the Pacers are.

Antetokounmpo, who has already scored 41 points, embraced his teammates, and most embraced Henson.

"Good job, kid. Do you want more points? I can give you a little longer."

Henson smiled happily, knowing that Antetokounmpo would not let himself down. In fact, today Henson did not deploy any complicated tactics at all. He just asked Antetokounmpo to suppress Griffin, so he won the game.

"No need, we have won, and I have enough data. I did not let you down."

"Yes, you didn't disappoint me, Yang Nis. Keep it up. I don't want to see any accidents happen in this whole series."

Henson retreats contentedly, and the Warriors will be driven into desperation by the Clippers, but that doesn't mean the Pacers will also get into trouble in front of the underdog.

Moreover, Henson has to do better than the Warriors to win the championship.

Finally, the harsh electronic buzzer ended the anticlimactic game. This is a relief for both Pistons players and live fans.

The fans thought the game was a bit boring, and the Pistons players were left on the basketball court without a face.

"At the end of the game, the results and process of this duel were not the same as expected. Yesterday, the Clippers nearly overturned the Warriors in Oakland. But today, the Pistons experienced a real gap in thinking in Indianapolis. . Maybe from the beginning, people shouldn’t have too much expectations for the Pistons."

Griffin stood up blankly, and at this time he had to accept the fact that he was no longer among the top players in the league. Sometimes in the face of huge power gaps, nothing can be done with the blood.

Reality is not comics, it is much crueler than comics.

After the game, countless media found Griffin and asked him about the game. Among them, one of Griffin's most frequently asked questions is, "How to evaluate Yannis Antetokounmpo's performance today."

In this regard, Griffin's can only helplessly shook his head, "He scored 41 points on my head, what else can I evaluate?"

Blake Griffin, who was still arrogant 24 hours ago, has already recognized reality. In this year's playoffs, the Detroit Pistons are just a stone on the Pacers' road to winning the championship. Henson only needs a light kick, enough to kick the little pebble far away.

On the second day after the first game of the series, the Detroit media was silent. They allowed the Pacers to smash the Pistons 4-0 without any rebuttal force.

What is the difference between a real super striker and Griffin, Henson used the simplest and rude way to let everyone understand the difference.

However, the Pistons coach Devin Casey is still unwilling to give up. As the coach who led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, he really couldn't accept that his team was eliminated.

And just at this moment, a shocking event happened. This incident also strengthened Devin Casey’s desire to win...
