In the first round of the game, both teams seemed to play in the inside, but the use of the inside was based on completely different methods.

Vogel is naturally more traditional, using an improved version of offense and an internal and external combination.

Because of the monster Li Feng, the players are all young. He is forced to try to work hard on speed. The Knicks are taking quick attacks and quickly landing, taking advantage of the opponent's foothold and not playing at the basket.

The popularity of small ball storms in recent years has led to the introduction of many small ball concepts. The Knicks also brought some useful parts of small balls to the team under their own conditions.

Although D'Antoni brought the concept of small ball to the league, he did not have the ability to improve this tactic to make it more suitable for league games.

The two teams played two completely different rhythms at the beginning of the game, so today's game will inevitably become a battle of rhythm.

When Vogel looked at the Knicks' formation today, he also felt that the Knicks were not a general teacher.

Vogel sat on the sidelines, his eyes flashing with light.

Although Hill was not fast enough, his brain was fast enough. As soon as he saw the other party's rhythm, he knew the problem.

At this time, he got the ball in the backcourt and immediately shouted at the players:

"We stand firm and attack, we must stand firm!"

When Hill screamed so much, Vogel nodded repeatedly. At this time, the walkers must stabilize the rhythm and let the rhythm follow themselves. They cannot just be fast. The walkers' rhythm is fast and slow, not just fast or slow, but when they meet the Knicks, they are better at fast. They can only slow down first, which is very similar to a tongue twister, but this will inevitably happen.

The Pacers landed on the position, but they were still unwilling to give up and beat their own pair of live treasures inside the inside. However, the last time they hit Roy Hibert, but this time they came over and started fighting David West directly.

David West is the top priority at the Pacers at this time. He basically does the Pacers when they do things when they are point guards.

The team's organization, support, and passes on the strength and weakness are all done by David West. Although David West seemed weak when playing against the strong inside and was criticized a lot later, the Pacers are still reusing David West. Because David West is absolutely irreplaceable in the Pacers' lineup, especially in Vogel's system.

At this time, the Pacers started to fight David West. David West was not afraid when he met Monroe. David West killed him with such confidence and took a step against Monroe. As expected, Monroe couldn't bear to eat.

David West's advantage in playing against Monroe was too great. Without helping to defend, Monroe was completely at a disadvantage.

David West turned over and hooked his hand, and the basketball turned around the ring, and also made a shot.

The Pacers' inside double towers are indeed powerful. Once activated, they either kill the opponent or cause internal injuries.

Now even the Knicks can't stop David West and Roy Hibert from exerting their efforts.

Today, the Pacers vs. the Knicks. The Pacers' pair were also very excited inside, and they scored consecutive points from the way up.

But the Knicks lost two points in the inside line, but there was no big wave. They were still stubbornly scoring the Pacers' point and immediately made a quick serve from the backcourt. The Knicks still bit the Pacers' butt and chased after them.

The Pacers were completely unexpected that the Knicks were so fast and the fast break was so resolute.

Just when the Pacers were all paying attention to Li Feng, Parsons, who was pushing the ball in the middle, suddenly took the initiative to attack and attacked the opponent's basket. Parsons was usually a very honest character player, and suddenly taking the initiative to attack today was naturally one of the tactical changes that Taberdeau had before.

This was a surprise surprise. The Pacers did not guard against such an attack as Parsons before.

Lance Stephenson didn't keep up with him, so Parsons came up from the middle, which immediately shocked him in cold sweat.

Just when Parsons was about to succeed in a sneak attack, George went up to block the ball, but he did not touch the ball, but it also caused harassment.

Parsons missed a layup, but it also scared the Pacers into a cold sweat.

Lance Stephenson ran over from behind and grabbed the backcourt rebound. After grabbing the backcourt rebound, Lance Stephenson quickly chased the Knicks' half.

At this time, the Knicks' defensive focus was not on Lance Stephenson, so when Lance Stephenson saw that he had the chance, he immediately took the ball and threw a three-point long shot.

Lance Stephenson played well with the Pacers this season, or his playing characteristics were very consistent with the Pacers' overall playing style. At that time, what the Pacers lacked was this kind of wing player with strong mobility, running, jumping and three-pointers. Lance Stephenson was such a player, so the Pacers made Lance Stephenson, and Lance Stephenson also helped the Pacers.

Now that Lance Stephenson hits this counterattack at the beginning, Vogel is quite satisfied.

The reason why Lance Stephenson can make such a counterattack can remind the Knicks that it is not only them who have counterattacks, but their own team also has counterattacks.

The Pacers led the Knicks by 5 points 7-2 at the beginning. The Knicks were silent again, but quickly kicked the ball. Livingston took the ball this time and approached the Pacers quickly.

Livingston started again today, and he was not ruthless in facing Hill. He accelerated and then jumped into the Pacers' penalty area.

Although Livingston's speed was greatly reduced after being injured, he still had an explosion. He passed Hill in one step and jumped into the Pacers' penalty area. Facing the double towers, he was a throw.

Livingston was not good at playing this kind of ball before, but today he met Soft Persimmon, and Taberdog also gave him the right to take action.

So Livingston was very confident in the fight, and jumped in and shot across the Pacers, but he even made a throw-in shot.

The Knicks finally got two points back. But today the Knicks obviously started from the corner. Li Feng, Cousins ​​and Monroe, basically did not touch the ball, and the offense started with Parsons or Livingston.

This tactic of starting from the corners also made the Pacers feel a little uncomfortable. Before the game, they prepared strict defense to deal with Li Feng and Monroe, but now at the beginning of the game, the Knicks do not start attacking with these commonly used offensive methods.

In this way, most of the Pacers' defensive designs are lost.

The Knicks easily scored two points, and the Pacers immediately took the ball and pushed it over. At this time, Hill still shouted that the team would suppress the rhythm and play.

Hill took the ball and passed the ball to George immediately, and George did not directly attack with the ball.

Although George wanted to defeat the Knicks and Li Feng, the Pacers had the advantage at this time. He had no reason to take full advantage.

George took the ball and passed it to David West who had the free cut in first. David West now has a clear advantage against Monroe.

David West is also a smart person. He immediately took advantage of this advantage and then got up directly to a mid-range shot.

David West hopes to score easily with this kind of offense. But his luck is not completely good today!

The basketball hit the ring and missed it.

Once the Pacers missed the shot, the Knicks' chance will come soon. Today, the Knicks play quickly, and what they need is the situation where the opponent fails to make an attempt.

Cousins ​​protected the backcourt rebound. It was difficult to find Li Feng at the first point. Instead, he passed the basketball to Livingston, who was holding the ball from the wing.

Just now, the successful throwing of the middle lane gave Livingston great confidence and helped him recover a lot of his form.

So at this time, Livingston took the ball with confidence and made great progress towards the Pacers' half-court.

How could Hill run past Livingston? Hill's steps were in chaos after a few steps, under this situation.

Livingston quickly changed direction with one hand, and then jumped to the bottom line. At the bottom line, Livingston raised his hand and threw another high throw.

"brush!"

Livingston's high throw hit again, he humiliated the Pacers' excellent point guard twice and rewritten the score to 6-7.

The Pacers had a very hard time just now. They only scored 7 points through strict tactical cooperation, but the Knicks kept hitting fast. One of them grabbed the Pacers' weakness and kept hitting fast.

I have to admit that playing fast is destined to be much easier than halftime!

At the beginning, Hill actually became the Pacers' weakness, but Vogel squinted his eyes at this time, without saying a word or having to replace people. He seemed to be determined to continue using the current staffing configuration.

The Pacers clearly have a weakness in personnel configuration, but at this time Vogel just did not replace people and asked Hill to continue playing, which obviously seemed to believe Hill.

Hill was indeed a bit embarrassed to be beaten by the opponent's defender so continuously at this time, but he is an excellent point guard after all.

Knowing that if you really fight one-on-one with the other party, even if you win, it will be a destruction for the team.

So at this time Hill came over and was still steadily directing the team without being arrogant and impatient to make the team's offense run.

Roy Hibert attracted attention at the low post. When David West suddenly passed by Chehill, David West transferred a wide range of transfers to George on one side.

George happened to face Li Feng one-on-one on one side, and this one-on-one was a focus of the whole league. This was a fierce confrontation, but the two sides used a short time to compete. George did not have the fancyness of his college years as he took the ball, but only concise and fatal.

He quickly spied under his feet, then got up and jumped without jumping and shot a long shot.

George's long shot was not so hot or fast, but he beat the pace.

Exploding, retracting, and taking action are all in rhythm. Li Feng has no ability to face this kind of attack, so he can only watch George shoot and score a goal.

George scored a simple goal, but with just one goal, Madison actually had many Pacers fans standing up and cheering.

After scoring, George also looked at Li Feng with a gentle look. George was looking forward to Li Feng. He wanted to fight Li Feng again and give the opponent a blow at his home court.

This is determined by George's personality. He will not give in easily. Even if he loses, he will have to get it back quickly.

But George's expression was too mild, with some Iguodala flavor.

So when the Knicks immediately advanced quickly, Li Feng quickly went to the back and received the basketball.

Then he immediately advanced toward the Pacers' half. Li Feng came up and launched an attack this time, and the Pacers' defense immediately chased Li Feng as if he had been put on a clockwork.

Li Feng controlled the ball on the wing and suddenly attacked towards the bottom line. He deliberately pressed the ball at the bottom line, then got up and took a step back and jumped.

Li Feng pushed the opponent's defense to the bottom line. Just as the opponent's attention was on Li Feng, Li Feng made a fake shot and passed the ball to Cousins, who was slipping on the bottom line behind.

Cousins ​​took the ball and made a quick small mid-range shot.

Li Feng and Cousins ​​cooperated and quickly scored two points. The way Li Feng came to fight back was to cooperate with his teammates, rather than to work alone. At that time, Li Feng had the opportunity to work alone. But Li Feng did not have this choice. Li Feng made Vogel touch the beard at the corner of his mouth.

Gary Payton, who was in the commentary seat, said happily:

"Li Feng is already very good at creating opportunities for his teammates. Li Feng's pass just now was very vivid and beautiful offense!"

Gary Payton is the point guard. He likes this kind of attack very much. Reggie Miller is on the side at this time but he said with a chance:

"After the opening of today, the Knicks obviously meant to be a different sword, and they all played unconventional tactics. The Pacers were upright, which shows that the Pacers' strength was still better."

"This is natural. From the strength shown today, the Pacers are indeed stronger overall."

Gary Payton and Reggie Miller easily reached a consensus on the strength of the two teams.

At this time, the two teams had good shooting percentages at the beginning, and they scored 9-8. The Pacers were still one point ahead. However, the Pacers were not leading at this time. Judging from the few rounds just now, the Pacers lost points too easily, and a team that was too easy to lose points could not survive in a tough battle. This is a concern for the Pacers!

George Hill came over again, and the Pacers were still playing fast and slow, and grace was the Pacers' outerwear.

Even if it's playing basketball, Hill came here this time and gave the basketball to David West to deal with it first.

David West has a high degree of freedom in this system. He directly broke through two steps with the spherical frame before passing the basketball to George at the top of the arc.
