After the timeout, the Nets wrapped up George, but the Pacers' open players felt good, and the two teams finished the first quarter with a score of 23-25, and the Pacers trailed the Nets by only 2 points.

The rotation in the playoffs was much later than in the regular season, and the two sides did not complete the rotation until the second quarter.

The Nets have five benches on their side, Livingston, Booker, Jefferson Jr., David West and Oden.

On the Pacers' side, Hill had a two-minute break in the first quarter and came back on the bench with four benches, Rodney Starkey, CJ Myers, Solomon Hill and Myles Turner.

Starkey controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Turner mentioned the three-point line to block the pick-and-roll, and Starkey held the ball to break through Oden.

Oden stretched out his long arms and did not lose his defensive position in the retreat, like a mountain standing in front of Starkey's eyes.

Starkey opted for a high toss, but the ball went wide of Oden, and after jumping out of the frame, Oden turned and took it.

As playing time and game experience increased, Oden became more and more intimidating on the defensive end.

Livingston advanced to the front court with the ball, and the ball went directly to David West on the inside.

Solomon Hill sank his weight to the top.

West directly crushed the back punch.

Hill is a standard three, and he is not an opponent at all after reaching four.

West went deep into the hinterland with a few tops, and made a shot on the board that turned around on the baseline before Turner's help was in place.

"Bang!"

Turner's movement speed was much better than expected, and his height of 2.11 meters was so fast that he actually interfered.

West's shot jumped out of the basket, but Turner pounced to help defend and gave Oden a chance, and he jumped on the spot, grabbed the basketball straight away, and the force was a violent dunk.

"Bang!"

The ball was pressed into the basket heavily, and the emotions of the fans at the scene were ignited.

Oden is getting better and better, and now this strength is no longer a problem to start a weak team!

Hill dribbled to the frontcourt to organize, Starkey borrowed Turner to block and run to the basket, Hill had a good overall view, and a beautiful shot led Starkey to a layup.

Starkey receives the ball and has to make a low-handed layup.

But at this moment, a figure quickly made up for the defense, directly between him and the basket.

Randle Hollis Jefferson!

Jefferson Jr. has a small role on the offensive end, but he has a strong presence on the defensive end, not only excellent in individual defense, but also first-class in helping to defend.

Starkey saw that it was a rookie, and after leaning on the breakout, he directly chose to jump and throw.

Jefferson Jr. didn't lose his position, and jumped up the moment Starkey threw his shot.

"Bang!"

One hand was placed directly on the rising ball.

Starkey's underestimation of Jefferson Jr.'s ability made him directly slapped in a positive hot pot.

The fans at the scene were instantly boiling.

Booker reacted quickly, turned directly to grab the covered ball and protected it, and the Nets played another wave of successful defense.

Livingston pushed forward and continued to play the ball to West in the low post.

West continued to chisel Solomon Hill, but Hill still couldn't bear it.

Although West played as a substitute in the Nets, his strength is still at the starting level, and he is also the tactical core of the Nets on the court at this time.

Turner didn't dare to go over to help, and Myers shrunk in to help.

West reacted quickly and passed the ball directly to Butler at the top of the arc.

Butler received the ball to shoot three points, George Hill saw it and flew back, Butler collected the ball, and was close to Hill and threw his hand to Booker at a 45-degree angle, Booker did not hesitate at all, and took the ball.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the ball falls into the bag accurately.

There were no more cheers and whistles from the audience.

32-23, less than two minutes in the second quarter, the Nets directly sent the Pacers a wave of 7-0, and the point difference went straight to double digits.

Over there, Vogel saw that the momentum was not right, so he had to replace George Hill with George.

He had less than two minutes off the pitch.

George came up and shook off West and pulled one in to add points for the Pacers.

But looking back, Livingston hit Starkey in the low post and pulled one in.

George turned around and wanted to play again, but Jefferson Jr. directly wrapped up to help defend.

The ball came to Miles outside the three-point line, and Jefferson Jr. flew back to interfere.

"Bang!"

Myers missed a three-pointer and Oden picked up a defensive rebound.

Livingston continued to hit Starkey in the low post, Myers came over to help defend, Livingston gave the ball to Booker, and Booker missed another three-point shot.

After a series of shots that began in the second quarter, the Nets felt a little cold.

However, in retrospect, George encountered the bag and then divided the ball, and was directly cut off by Jefferson Jr.

George is not James after all, especially his ability to handle the ball is still a long way off.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough to directly pull a foul on Jefferson Jr., interrupting the Nets' fast break.

The two sides struggled to score in this section, and the situation was stalemate.

The quarter lasted more than 4 minutes, and both sides switched back to the starting lineup one after another.

The score on the court was 36-27, or a nine-point difference.

The Pacers' offense, George received the ball or was trapped.

Tang Tian knew that George felt good tonight, but he was determined not to give him a chance.

The ball was back in Hill's hands, and Hill hit a three-pointer to finally take some of the pressure off George.

But looking back, Gordon took advantage of Yi Jianlian's block to take advantage of the opportunity, and received a three-point shot from the outside after receiving a pass from Jokic.

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the net, a beautiful anserball!

The cheers at the scene shook the sky.

Gordon's performance since arriving at the Nets has far exceeded most people's expectations, which is what it feels like to be a superstar in his rookie years.

George went to the frontcourt and wanted to play but didn't have a chance, and then went to the outside Miles, and Myers's three-point shot missed.

Jokic accepted the rebound, and when he got to the frontcourt, a fake organization deceived the opposite Marcinmi, and directly held the ball to break through to the basket.

The Pacers players were afraid of his passing and didn't dare to help defend it, and Jokic drove straight in the middle and scored with a one-handed slam.

The fans at the scene were instantly overwhelmed.

The Pacers' offense relied too heavily on George, and after George was trapped, there was no one who could step up and share the pressure compared to the Nets.

George split Ellis in the front court, and the latter's three-point score still didn't go in.

By the time he stepped back, George didn't have the excitement he had in the first quarter.

Hibbert, Stephenson and West have left one after another, and Hill's form has declined significantly, this Pacers team is far from the Eastern powerhouse of the Five Tigers, and now they are just relying on him to support themselves.

DeLong's breakthrough layup in the front court also caused a foul on Masimmi's beater.

It's a 2+1.

DeLong goes to the free throw line.

The camera showed George on the side of the free throw line, and George glanced at the score, put his hands on his knees, and shook his head helplessly.

This is really beaten out of temper.
