From today on is the king

Chapter 1186 1185. Punch out of get off work at half time
In the last game against the Hawks, Tinsley didn't feel Liu Mang's stronger defense, and he didn't feel it the last time in the regular season. At that time, the three top stars of the Pacers were not getting used to each other, and he didn't have many opportunities to hold the ball.

But this time Tinsley felt it!

People don't care about the change of direction of his fake movements at all, and he can keep up with his steps if he slows down.

When it was the Pacers' turn to attack, Tinsley handed the ball to Artest after halftime. Tinsley was the kind of point guard who was at his peak when he debuted. He had the most assists in his rookie season. At that time, Reggie Miller was still there, and there were Brad Miller and others.

Artest received the ball and wanted to crush McGrady with his body. McGrady pushed forward violently, but he didn't let go when he was squeezed away.

Artest did not get rid of McGrady. When he was forced to get within the distance of the free throw line, Prince pinched up from Anthony Johnson in the bottom corner.

But there is a big gap between Artest and LeBron James, whose physical fitness is comparable to his peak. His hands are hard, and he has the same shortcomings as Josh Smith, that is, he needs to see people before passing, and he does not have James' ability to predict.

When Anthony Johnson received the ball, Liu Mang had already rushed from the top arc.

Anthony Johnson could only be assigned to Tinsley, who ran to the left at a 45-degree angle.

Tinsley couldn’t do it right now. Between him and the basket were Artest, Prince, and Tracy McGrady. Kwame Brown was fighting fiercely with O’Neal. Tinsley had no choice but to take a three-point shot... Tinsley, who only made 70 three-pointers in 28 regular season games this season, made a three-point shot!

The ball goes straight to the hoop and Rasheed Wallace catches it!

Rasheed Wallace quickly passed the ball to Liu Mang who ran to the free throw line to catch the ball. Liu Mang received the ball and pushed forward to counterattack!
too fast!
Liu Mang played very aggressively today. After rushing out of the three-point line and overtaking Tinsley, he hit the trigger alone!

Liu Mang, whose speed rating soared to 99, rushed forward. Tinsley wanted to chase, but found that the distance was getting bigger and bigger!

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, took a step inside the free throw line and leaped high...

"Ding...Fancy dunk level 5 trigger..."

Liu Mang stretched his body like a bow, quickly slid through the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The sound of the dunk was crisp and clear. When Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket, he touched the basket with his hand and then landed without any unnecessary movements.

Neat!

"Ding... After completing the tomahawk dunk, the morale of the host's team has increased significantly, and the morale of the opponent's team has been hit."

Liu Mang made a three-pointer and a counter-attack dunk, and added a dunk that led McGrady to pass the ball to Kwame Brown. The Eagles played a wave of 8-0!

The Pacers called a timeout!

Although the game had only started for 2 minutes, coach Carlisle could only call a timeout.

If you don't call a timeout, it's over!
The Pacers players were stunned, it was completely different from what they expected, and they felt like they had no power to fight back!
The opponent's defense was fierce and active, and the offense was so good. They hit three consecutive goals and scored 8 points, but they didn't score a single point!
During the timeout, the Pacers made a substitution. They originally wanted to use Stephen Jackson as the sixth man, but now they find that there are no singles scorers on the outside. Artest is the kind of player who needs to open up space to one-on-one. -Johnson is in a tense situation and makes irrational choices.

The defense arranged by Mike Woodson finally came out today!
……

Back from the timeout, the Eagles did not make any substitutions. They just emphasized the defense. The focus is on defense. The Pacers scored 109 points in the last game, which is unacceptable for the Eagles.

The Pacers sent the strongest three first-class stars plus Tinsley and Foster's lineup.

The Pacers attack.

Jermaine O'Neal became ruthless. After receiving a pass from Tinsley in the middle distance, under the defense of Kwame Brown, he rushed towards the basket, squeezed Kwame Brown and forced a throw. The ball bounced on the basket and bounced into the frame.

Finally scored!
But this style of play is too tiring. Kwame Brown weighs 120 kilograms, more than ten kilograms less than O’Neal’s 105 kilograms.

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady made a pick-and-roll and shot a three-pointer against Stephen Jackson who pounced on him...

Stephen Jackson wanted to cry. Why did Liu Mang and McGrady pick and roll when he came on the court?

Liu Mang saw him doing it every time!

What made Stephen Jackson feel more comfortable was that Liu Mang's three-point shot was crooked.

But Kwame Brown under the basket was hit just now. This time he was very active. He judged the direction of the ball's bounce, jumped high, and pushed the ball back to the basket through O'Neal who was stuck in the position!

And Jermaine O'Neal pushed Kwame Brown, the referee whistled, the goal was valid, Jermaine O'Neal grabbed a rebound and fouled!

After Kwame Brown landed, he roared at Jr. O'Neal!

When Kwame Brown was singled out by O'Neal just now, the cheers on the scene were muffled, and now it was detonated again!

Good luck, Kwame Brown went to the free throw line and made an extra penalty!
11 to 2, the Eagles lead by 9 points!

Confidence, determination, decisiveness, hard work, desperation...

The Pacers players felt all the positive energy from the Eagles players today!
Unlike the last game, the Eagles gave them the feeling: careless, proud, relaxed, trying to tease them...

The Eagles played very focused today, treating the Pacers as an opponent that needs to work hard to win. From the very beginning of the game, the Pacers players felt fear!

The Pacers players now have a feeling that they are going to collapse: they didn't play well at all in the last game?

……

40 to 17 in the first quarter!

刘莽首节拿到13分2助攻，夸梅-布朗拿到8分4板1抢断，麦迪拿到3分3助攻2盖帽，防得步行者队只拿到17分！
In the last game, the Eagles were scored 39 points in the third quarter by the Pacers, setting a new high in the history of the Pacers in the playoffs. Today, the Eagles are back!
After the first quarter, lead by 23 points in a single quarter!
The Pacers did not give up in the second quarter and continued to send the main players. They wanted to fight.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Jason Terry, and Korver always have two on the court, Prince and Iguodala always have one on the court, and insiders Rasheed Wallace, Josh Smith, Kwame Brown, and Mourning take turns.

The Pacers don't want to give up, Liu Mang will beat them until they have to give up!

You don't have to think about passing the ball, McGrady doesn't need to score more points, Jason Terry can play as he wants, and the Eagles are playing very hard inside...

Although Artest and Jermaine O'Neal scored 15 points desperately in the second quarter, leading the Pacers to score 23 points in a single quarter, the Hawks scored 31 points in a single quarter!
At the end of the half, the Eagles were 71 to 40, widening the point difference to 31 points!
In the third quarter, the Pacers completely collapsed. In the third quarter, the biggest gap between the strong team and the weak team, the Hawks sent Jason Terry, Tracy McGrady, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace. The Pacers led by O'Neal, whose physical fitness began to decline sharply after the first half, and the Pacers led by Artest, whose offensive performance was not as stable as the previous game, were 23-9!

The Pacers completely collapsed in the third quarter, scoring only 9 points in a single quarter!
After three quarters, the Eagles were 94 to 49, leading by 45 points!
Crush!

The Eagles completely crushed the Pacers!
……

Only scored 49 points in three quarters, the Pacers players were emotionally broken!

I don't even want to fight anymore.

In the last game, the Eagles' loose style of play gave the Pacers hope.

Now the Pacers players just want to ask: Why give us hope?
In the fourth quarter, all the main players of the Eagles were replaced, and a lineup of Calderon, Iguodala, Horry, Josh Smith, and Mourning was sent to play casually.

If Barry, Granger, and David Lee hadn't entered the 12-man roster, coach Kruger, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Calderon would not want to be replaced.

In the end, the Eagles only scored 20 points in the final quarter, but the Pacers only scored 22 points in the final quarter.

114 to 71, the Eagles slaughtered the Pacers by 43 points and avenged the previous game!
Liu Mang only played the first half, scored 21 points and 23 assists in 6 minutes, clocked out at halftime!
麦迪打了28分钟，拿到14分7助攻，贾森-特里拿到17分，夸梅-布朗18分11板，科沃尔11分，约什-史密斯12分7板4助攻……

Six Eagles scored in double figures and slaughtered the Pacers!
Today the Eagles cheered throughout the game. Fortunately, the next two games will be the Eagles going away to play. Otherwise, they really don't know if they will have a voice to cheer for in the next game.

The feeling of revenge makes the fans feel so cool!
The host of the US cable television broadcasting the game started to rejoice within a few minutes of the game. He didn't mock the Eagles for losing the first game as the boss said, otherwise his face would be smashed.

The Eagles once again proved a truth of the league today...don't offend the Eagles!
These people are cheapskates!
