Chapter 184
Near the middle circle, Jason Thompson and Roy Hibbert prepare to jump the ball and the game is about to begin.
In the end, Jason Thompson didn't win multiple jump balls in a row because Hibbert was taller and had a better wingspan.
TJ Ford dribbles over.
TJ Ford is the defender who claims to start the first step faster than AI, but apart from his speed, he seems to have nothing else to impress.
Danny Granger came out to catch the ball and distributed the ball to Roy Hibbert inside, who made a hook!
The Pacers lead 2:0!
The Kings attack, Evans dribbles over and points to Hawes in the high post.
The Pacers' arrangement is to let Murphy come out to defend, so that Hibbert can still defend in the penalty area.
Evans received a point from Hawes, forced to kill the basket, and was interfered by Hibbert-missed!
The Pacers get the rebound!
Pacers offense, frontcourt coordination, Granger mid-range -- no!
Thanks for the rebound!
In the first half of the first quarter, the offensive efficiency of the two teams was not high. The Pacers focused on the defense of the penalty area and restricted the Kings from breaking through inside. Very low, the fans don't know how to cheer.
"Reggie, this game is likely to become a defensive battle?" Kevin Harlan said.
"Indiana's game is like this, defense is based, offense is not their specialty." Reggie Miller said.
The first quarter lasted more than 4 minutes, and the score of the two sides was 6:7. The Pacers in the away game led by 1 point. The point difference between the two sides was very small, and the offensive efficiency was really not high.
Evans dribbles over and passes to Jason Thompson in the low post.
Jason Thompson forced Hibbert, hit a wall, and missed a layup!
The ball went to Nocioni on the outside.
Nocioni points the ball to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai faced the Pacers' defensive giant Dengtai Jones.
Dengtai Jones is not tall, but his defense is tough and he is very good.
Xie Kai faced Dengtai Jones and picked and rolled Jason Thompson.
With the help of a cover, he bypassed Dengtai Jones, went straight to the basket, faced Roy Hibbert's defense, shot an arrow on horseback, and scored 2 points!
The Kings lead 8:7!
The two teams played evenly in the first quarter. The Kings wanted to speed up, but the Pacers' defense was very good. It was difficult for the two teams to play an outstanding offense. At the end of the first quarter, the visiting team led by 21 point at 20:1.
The Pacers' second lineup is not strong. The second lineup composed of Hansbrough, Jeff Foster and others is also mainly defensive, so the second lineup of the two teams is also very anxious. Don't come, there are too many blacksmiths.
The Kings fans at the scene seemed a little bored. The Pacers' style of play was a little different, focusing on defense. Not to mention their own offense constipated, even the opponent's offense was also constipated.
"This kind of game rhythm is exactly what Indiana likes!" Kevin Harlan said.
Reggie Miller nodded: "Indiana has Roy. Regardless of whether they are inside or outside, they are not good at offense. Defense is their advantage. In this case, they will try their best to drag the game to their own rhythm!"
Soon, the main forces of both sides are back!
Evans dribbled over and the score was 25:26, with the Kings at home trailing by 1 point.
Xie Kai came out to catch the ball.
Dengtai Jones' defense is very good, which makes him very uncomfortable without the ball and with the ball, but he still contributed 4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the first quarter.Although the offensive efficiency is not high, but he can't hold back his omnipotence!
Xie Kai faced Dengtai Jones, with the help of a screen, walked to the basket with the ball, and made a jumper with a sudden stop-pop!
Jason Thompson hit the ball hard!
Xie Kai got the ball vigilantly, without any hesitation, and then passed the ball to Jason Thompson under the basket, who made a hook!
Kings overtake!Xie Kai's 4th assist!
"I like the player Kane more and more now. Even if I don't score, I can still make positive contributions on the court. It's really rare!" Kevin Harlan said with a smile.
The Pacers were attacking, and Xie Kai even made Granger an offensive foul!
Kevin Harlan said: "Look, let me tell you, Kane, a player, can perform even without attacking!"
Reggie Miller said: "He is indeed a very good team player. He was already a very good system player at the University of Kansas!"
"I think he is not just a system player!" Kevin Harlan said seriously.
Evans dribbled over, forced a layup and caused a defensive foul!
Evans walked to the free throw line and made two free throws, opening the point difference to 3 points!
The Pacers attacked, Granger forced a kill to the basket and made a mistake...
The Kings attacked, Xie Kai received a sudden point from Evans, hit a 3-pointer, and opened the point difference to 6 points!
"Without the ball, even Deng Tai can hardly restrain Kane!" Kevin Harlan said.
Reggie Miller nodded and said: "Kane's off-ball awareness is really good, and Tyreke's distribution is just right."
Pacers pause!
The Kings fans at the scene were extremely excited. The home team performed well, and the Gemini stars in the backcourt continued to show off their power, which made them feel mesmerized.
The game continues.
TJ Ford dribbles to Hibbert in the low post.
Hibbert beat Hawes hard, but failed, and was called an offensive foul by the referee instead!
"Roy's strength is defense. Let him play one-on-one. Even if Spencer is not good at defense, it is difficult for him to take advantage of it!" Reggie Miller said.
The Kings attacked and Hawes missed a 3-pointer!
Xie Kai grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to Nocioni in the corner!
Nocioni feints and cuts in, then splits away.
Xie Kai hit a jumper and widened the point difference to the game's highest 8 points!
In the second quarter of the game, the rhythm of the game was controlled by the Kings. By the end of the half, they led their opponents by 2 points 50:42!
谢开半场贡献11分6个篮板7个助攻2个抢断1次盖帽。
"Kane is playing more and more like LeBron now!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
Reggie Miller said: "He is not like LeBron. He is the kind of player who does what the team lacks. I think he is a bit like Scottie Pippen!"
"He should be selected as an All-Star in the future!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
"Very likely!" Reggie Miller also said.
The second half of the game was somewhat similar to the first half.The Pacers' offense is still poor, and even the Kings' defense is poor enough.But their defense is always online, so it is not easy for the opponent to play an efficient offense.
