Two days ago, the Pacers lost a crushing defeat at home.

That defeat made many people look down on their final prospects, and foreign media even believed that they could not break out from the east at all.

"The Los Angeles Daily News" said: "When a team has the championship temperament, you can tell if they fight teams of the same level. The Pacers are dominant when facing opponents that are obviously weaker than theirs, but when they encounter teams like the Pistons, their team is as chaotic as headless flies."

Whether Los Angeles' evaluation is correct or not needs to be observed. After all, no matter what, the series only played one game.

Tonight, Bankers Life Stadium once again assembled two teams.

The Pacers fans who returned disappointed two days ago were still full of home stadiums, and they didn't believe that the team would be beaten again and again.

Xie Hou and his teammates became much more steady. No matter how passionate the Pistons warm-up was before the game, no one stood up to do the same thing.

Xie Hou didn't want to consume too much unnecessary physical strength in the pre-match dunk warm-up. Compared to dunk, he was more willing to seize the remaining time to find the feel.

The feel and the feel of the game in the training state are two different concepts.

Xie Hou's current training feels very good and he has almost never missed a goal.

The only person who is better than him is Miller. He has never lost three-pointers since entering the court training, even if there is an ignorant idiot shooting and Miller collided (Xie Hou: Who are you talking about?).

However, the collision of that ball, Miller's ball did not affect Miller's goal.

The scoring in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals is a shame for Miller. How can a big-hearted player like him perform like this when he returns to such a big stage? Miller has been autistic for several days and hopes to burst out all his anger tonight.

The warm-up was over and the players on both sides returned to the field.

Except for the starter, other players were wearing appearance uniforms, and the coach reminded him.

On the Pistons, Anthony was still a substitute, and the starting lineup was the legendary Pistons Five Tigers: two Wallaces, Maskman, Little Prince, and Billups.

"I hope the Pacers can perform normally tonight." Bobby Leonard was still worried about the crushing defeat two days ago. "I really don't want to see such a difficult game again."

McGuinness was about to be a philosopher, so he continued Lao Shuai's words: "A life that is not difficult is not worth living, and a game that is not difficult is not worth watching."

Therefore, the talent that is not a shocking world and awesome, is not worthy of McGuinness’ abandonment.

O'Neal Jr. burst out with amazing power, and roared at the beginning, hitting the ball hard into Xie Hou's hand.

"Pacers' ball rights!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Prince's online oppression was easily moved by Xie Hou.

Prince made a mistake, and he wanted to give Xie Hou a confrontation like Collis Williamson, but confrontation was not his strength.

After the first game, the Pistons learned that Xie Hou's physical fitness is lower than expected, so it is definitely right to find opportunities to squeeze his physical strength. Different players have different ways of playing, and Prince started tonight with a bit of a whimsical idea.

The little prince's defense fell, but the piston's defense line was still strong.

Hamilton made up for it in an instant, and Prince also turned to Artest. Xie Hou was not in a hurry to attack. He was about to land on the position, but Miller, who followed him to the frontcourt, suddenly cut into the penalty area.

"Good opportunity!" Xie Hou said intimately, raising his hand and passing the ball with a dart.

Miller got a pass and prepared to make a layup, and he underestimated the Pistons' determination to defend the penalty area.

Ben Wallace, who averaged three blocks per game for three consecutive seasons, knocked out his layup like a snake-hiker hunting hawk.

Billups picked up the defensive rebound, and the Pistons' counterattack immediately opened.

Without Anthony, the Pistons' counterattack was not that scary. Billups rushed to the frontcourt and made a powerful change of hand to the right, drifted past Xie Hou's center of gravity, and picked the basket with one hand.

Xie Hou reacted and covered the ball with his arm span.

The ball was picked up by Hamilton, and he also wanted to attack. Although he was not afraid of Xie Hou's assistance in defense, there was a thin white bear behind him. Kirilenko, who caught up with him, gave the masked man a chasing hat with his arm span like Xie Hou.

With Leonard shouting: "King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table turned the Pacers' penalty area into an never-lost steel fortress!"

Xie Hou grabbed the rebound and passed the ball in the frontcourt.

Miller received the ball and was determined to prove himself. He did not pass the ball to Artest and made a decisive three-pointer at the top of the frontcourt.

"Swish!"

3 to 0

Miller, who scored the goal, took advantage of his anger and spit out a swear word that made the Pistons angry.

"It seems that he has been holding him back so hard these days." Xie Hou said.

Kirilianko didn't expect Xie Hou to discover this now. The score of zero in the first match of the Eastern Conference Finals made Miller not sleep well for several days, so he naturally had to show his power tonight.

It's the Pistons' turn to attack.

The Pacers are obviously different from two days ago, as can be seen from the defense.

Offense is the Pacers' strength, and the Pistons' defense is better. But tonight, they raised the game to high intensity from the start, which should have been the Pistons' favorite gameplay method.

What happened? Their tactics were first strangled, and Billups was fixed outside the three-point line by Xie Hou.

The tactics cannot be run out, Billups is not a one-on-one fight, nor is it a passing ball.

He saw Rashid, who took the initiative to take the lead and was ready to pass the ball. Everyone knows Billups's heart. When Xie Hou saw him making a defensive breakthrough, he deliberately waited for the opponent's ball to pass, and then used his arm span to destroy the ball and pass the ball.

"Changcy made a mistake, Arthur's defense is great!"

Xie Hou cut off Billups' pass, and within a second he passed the ball with one hand and sent it to the frontcourt. Like Miller, Artest chose to fold his back buttons with both hands to end the attack.

A 5-0 start.

"You guys! ￥! ￥, I must smash all your xx tonight!"

Artest ran and shouted, making insulting gestures to the Pistons' substitutes.

Miller's previous swearing made both sides feel up, and Artest's provocation ignited the flames.

If Larry Brown hadn't been extremely majestic, the conflict might have happened now.

The piston's retaliatory attack on Artest soon appeared.

In the Pistons' offensive round, Rashid covered Hamilton, which should have been a top-quality cover. In order to elbow Ate, he raised his legs in one fell swoop.

If it was for the purpose of attacking Artest, he would succeed.

But doing so is not good for winning.

The referee whistle sounded, giving Rashid a technical foul.

Artest was not enough and pointed at Rashid's head and sweared. If it weren't for the two sides to get people away in time, the game might have fallen into another rhythm.

In order to calm the players down, both Brown and Claire replaced the hotly-armed parties.

Just two minutes into the opening game, Rashid and Artest were substituted.

The Pistons were replaced by Memit Oku, while the Pacers allowed Papalucas to play in the third position.

If it were another team, Claire might consider letting the Greeks play No. 1 position.

In order to limit the number of Xiehou, the pistons will inevitably let the third position Prince go to the position of Xiehou, so their number one or two position must match the Pacer's third position.

So although the Greeks played the third position, they actually played the first position and the second position, so there was no problem in confrontation.

Rashid's technical foul gives the Pacers a chance to throw two free throws.

Miller stood on the free throw line, and did not waste the points delivered to the door, and both free throws were made.

7 to 0

"The Pacers are leading by 7 points and have the ball rights. The Pistons are now very embarrassed."

"If the Pacers score again, Coach Brown will encounter an embarrassing problem. Because the Pistons have no tactical problems, they just didn't block the Pacers' breakthrough, and Rashid's technical foul was given to the Pacers for two free throws."

"In terms of the game, they played no problem."

"However, falling behind by 9 or 10 points is a big problem for any team."

Leonard and McGuinness had just finished discussing, and Xie Hou closed the ball one meter outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

"Oh my God!"

"Swish!!"

“10 to 0!”

"The piston still requested a pause!"

"Two and a half minutes into the game, the Pacers beat the Pistons 10-0!"

"The regular season champion is the regular season champion after all, and the Pacers will never sink to the end because of a defeat!"

The fans on the scene came alive and cheered for the team's lead.

Claire and other players left the court and did not make substitution adjustments. They just ordered Xie Hu to let Papalucas try the three-point touch.

Miller had already shot, and if the Greeks also found the feel, the Pacers had two guns on the outside.

You know, Xie Hou is a magician player, and he doesn't even like to solve problems by shooting.

Due to the style of the times and other reasons, the Magician is in the era, and his team, has more than 10 years per game, averaging less than 3 goals per night.

(In the era of small ball, we should know what it means to score less than 3 three-pointers in a game)

Without three-pointers, you can't open up space (there was no such concept in that era). It is unimaginable how much space would limit players like Magicians. The times are progressing, and Xie Hou will not encounter the embarrassment of Magicians.

Miller has made the best three-pointers per game in the past decade, and even if he gets old, he is the most stable output point on the outside.
