Durant, Thompson, and Curry are still working on it, although a win or loss in one game can't directly determine the course of the entire series. But no one wants to lose the first game of the series, and the Warriors haven't completely lost hope of winning.

At this point, the fourth quarter had been played for several minutes. The score difference has been hovering around 10 points. The Warriors couldn't close the gap any further, and neither could the Pacers pull it apart. The two sides are at a stalemate, allowing time to pass.

And this situation has lasted almost the whole game.

In the first quarter of the game, it was Durant's appearance that finally recovered the decline, and did not let the Warriors fall into the embarrassment of falling behind by double digits in the first quarter.

But the performance of the Pacers in the first quarter has boosted their morale. On the Warriors' side, Kerr no longer dares to rotate players casually.

So, in the second quarter of the game, the Warriors instantly became a seven-man rotation again. In addition to the starting five Tigers, Kevin. Looney and Livingston are the only two trusted rotation players for the Warriors.

It's worth mentioning that both players are Pacers veterans. I have to say that there are really a lot of players who have mixed well since they went out of the Pacers.

That's why people say that the Indiana Walker is a star-making factory.

The advantage of the seven-man rotation is that the Warriors can maintain a lot of firepower at all times, and the downside is that there is a lack of variables. After all, it's these seven people who change and change, and it's hard for Kerr to make any changes.

In this way, at the end of the half, the Warriors were still stuck in a spiral of falling behind by double digits. And that margin has continued until now, until the end of the game.

At this point, Durant made a cover for Curry. It was supposed to be Cousins' job, but due to Cousins' poor performance today, he played just eight minutes and was on the bench.

Curry breaks through with the ball, Rajan. Rondo's devastation of Curry continues. Every time Curry steps to the three-point line, he is bound to find a fierce confrontation with Rondo. Every time he wants to score, he has to pay a huge price.

Curry made a small throw when he got into the box as he found himself unable to play against Rondo any longer.

Originally, Draymond. Green also got a shot, but Curry didn't pass the ball. In the first three quarters of the game, Green's performance was too disappointing. Now Cullins would rather attack on his own than dump the blame on Green.

The result of this offense was that Curry, who was tightly sealed, missed the shot. The Warriors failed on offense again, and no one thought it would be Rondo who put Curry in purgatory today.

Siakam just jumped up and took the rebound with his own hands. He immediately advanced with the ball on his own, and Siakam looked confident today.

Becky. Harmon thought it was strange at first, Henson obviously didn't talk to Siakam, why did Siakam seem to be a different person today?

But as Siakam's performance got better and better, Becky. Harmon also forgot about the problem. As long as you play well, who cares why?

This time the counterattack, Siakam was still full of momentum. He rode to the free throw line, but was blocked by Durant, who arrived in time.

As a result, Siakam turned to his back to the ball. Durant didn't dare to slack off, and he knew very well that Siakam's back-to-back offense was also quite threatening. In the previous games, Iguodala was not less than Siakam to score points in the form of back-to-back singles.

But just when Durant was thinking about how to resist Siakam's back-to-back single, the No. 43 forward suddenly turned past Durant with a back, and then went straight to the basket!

Durant naturally knows that every round will now decide the life and death of the Warriors, so he tries to block. In the air, Siakam almost lost his center of gravity and was covered by Durant, who was tall and long-armed.

But even so, Siakam smashed the basketball to the rebound with precision. The basketball hit the rebound and gently refracted into the net, and the Pacers also managed to score the moment Siakam fell to the ground.

Siakam got up and complained to the referee, thinking it should be a 2+1. However, instead of angering the referees, this kind of complaint can greatly boost the morale of the team.

"Pascal. Siakam is crazy, this is his 30th point of the game! In the last series, Siakam was one of the worst performers for the Pacers. Twenty-four hours ago, it was said that Siakam could be a hole in the Pacers. But today, he is reborn! It was because of Siakam's presence that the Warriors played so hard today. ”

Siakam was highly praised for having only made 2 free throws today. And until now, the hit rate is still above 80%! It can be seen how efficient he is in scoring these 30 points.

When a team has a scorer who is so efficient, their opponents are very difficult to win.

"The Pacers were all very good off the bench today, but Siakam was the best of them all. On both ends of the floor, he played a completely different performance than he did in the Eastern Conference Finals. It was said that Siakam might struggle to adjust to the intensity of the Finals. But don't forget, this isn't Siakam's first time playing in the Grand Finals! ”

Henson couldn't listen to the speakers, but he was sure that the goal that had just come to Siakam had received unanimous praise from everyone.

While the effect of his badge will only last for this one game, the No. 43 will not be depressed again after boosting Siakam's confidence today.

Henson looked at the clock, there were 3:20 left before the end of the game, and just now Siakam's goal gave the Pacers a 14-point lead.

The battle was still fierce, but Henson's half hand had already touched the victory!

Over there for the Warriors, Steve. Cole was in a hurry. Poor performances from Cousins and Green, as well as a weak roster throughout the rotation, made this game very tough.

Livingston and Kevin. Looney's two benches couldn't score efficiently, and Green is shooting just 22.2 percent from the field...... When others can't share the offensive pressure, the "trident" of Curry, Thompson and Durant will naturally have a hard time opening the situation.

Today, no player on the Warriors shot more than 50 percent from the field, not even Durant. The teamwork of George and Antetokounmpo put Durant in a tough battle.

As for the others, Cole didn't dare to use them. He was afraid of being quickly pulled away by the Pacers like he did in the first quarter.

As a result, Kerr can only pray that one of the three trio of Curry, Thompson and Durant will suddenly explode to save the team. On a tactical level and on a rotation level, Kerr thinks he's lost to Henson in this game.

But Cole didn't wait for their outburst, but for George and Antetokounmpo's outburst.

In the final moments of the game, Henson's order to George and Antetokounmpo was simple: "Shut the game!" ”

With Siakam and a host of rotation players in great shape today, George and Antetokounmpo haven't struggled much on the offensive end. After a whole game, the two now have strength.

On the other hand, on the Warriors' side, Durant, Curry and Thompson have been heavily guarded from the beginning. Now, I'm emaciated.

George and Antetokounmpo made a force and instantly made the game lose suspense.

In the final 1:14 of the game, George's three-pointer stretched the margin to 16 points. When time is not enough, Steve. Kerr slumped back to the bench.

The Warriors lost hope of winning.

Although Curry and Thompson each scored a three-pointer in the final minute of the game, it was to no avail. Time has long passed in struggle.

At the end of the game, 122-113, the Pacers got off to a flying start by nine points at home! In the crucial Grand Final, Coach Henson's team got off to a flying start! ”

At the end of the game, Siakam raised his head to the sky and roared. He had 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 82.4% overall and 66.7% from three-point range. He beat Durant with 22 points and Thompson with 19 points, and even overshadowed Curry, who scored 34 points, and was voted the best player of the game.

The Warriors' bench players combined for just 12 points, while Siakam alone had 32 points. The difference in the depth of the squad between the two sides is clear at a glance. Henson let out a big sigh of relief, and his badge ultimately earned him the win of the match.

After the game, Cousins and Green walked fast and seemed reluctant to stay on the court longer.

Yesterday, these two men were the ones who provoked Henson the hardest. But today, they happen to be the worst performers for the Warriors.

If they don't want to be humiliated by reporters and Henson, the only thing they can do is get out of the stadium as quickly as possible.

When Henson looked around the court, the two "ruthless guys" of the Warriors had already run away.

The Chinese coach shook his head, why did the opponent of this session surrender before he started spraying.
