The Mavericks became more and more convenient as they fought, and they fought a 30-19 offensive in the second quarter.

At halftime, the Mavericks led the Pacers by 8 points 51 to 43.

Xie Hou, who was expected to score 60 points, scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half.

For the team, 22 points in the first half are not bad.

For him personally, 22 points are obviously a long way from 60 points.

"Can Arthur score 38 points in the second half?" Kenny Smith twitched his mouth as he said the number.

Everyone knows how difficult it is.

"It seems not that difficult for Arthur..." Barkley said with a grin, "Just, you can complete it if you score 19 points in the third and fourth quarters."

"What a 'just'!" Smith was so amused by him. "Michael's misplaced 1 in the past, and he only scored 56 points at most. Why do you think Arthur scored 19 points in a row in a row at this intensity?"

1 The most outstanding final in Qiao Shen's career. The dark little secret about this round of finals is that no one in the Suns could match Qiao Shen's position. They were either too short, too thin, or too tall.

Barkley muttered: "Arthur's misplaced advantage is much greater than Michael's back then! Everyone who plays the Mavericks is like Michael playing Jeff Hornersek!"

Xie Hou didn't know that he was touted to this point in the commentary seat, he only knew that he needed to get more points in the second half.

During the half-time interview, the reporter asked him if he had any plans to score 60 points tonight.

"If I have to get so many points to help the team win, then wait and see." Xie Hou had a little tired face.

His tone was very confident, but he was not so confident.

The Mavericks are obviously not the breathless defensive team like the Pistons. After playing in the first half, Xie Hou felt serious pressure.

Intermission room

Rick Claire specifically pointed out the Mavericks' defensive core Kwame Brown: "Kwame has committed three fouls. In the second half, our offense can go more to the inside."

The meaning of this sentence is to ask O'Neal to bear part of the offensive responsibility.

O'Neal Jr. straightened his back and said, "I can!"

"Arthur, if you feel that you are not strong enough, you can try to hand the ball to Jermaine." Claire still regards Sherhou's offense as the key to winning.

In last year's Christmas game, the Mavericks knew in advance that Xie Hou was going to break Kobe's record, and the high-intensity defense of the whole game did not defend him.

Could the defensive intensity that night be stronger than tonight?

He doesn't believe it.

Xie Hou could score 80 points against the Mavericks under that intensity of defense, and he could burst out all the energy in his body in the second half of tonight.

"I'm worried that Jermaine can't beat him." Xie Hou told a cold joke, "He couldn't even beat Lao Wang in yesterday's confrontation."

Upon hearing this, some people laughed, some rolled their eyes, and some swore confidently: "I will be able to impress their insider tonight!"

Needless to say, the ones who rolled their eyes and sweared by Xie Hou were both parties who were complained about.

At the beginning of the second half, Devin Harris expressed his speed.

It flew across the Pacer's position like lightning. In a blink of an eye, the Pacer's defense area had been sieve by him.

His breakthrough was extremely strong, and the inside line's assistant defense could not be covered.

Moreover, he is also good at finding bunkers to help him complete the attack.

On this round against the Pacers, Harris' offense was skillful and wise, dodging beautifully, and scored on the board.

53 to 43

"The bad news, the score difference has reached double digits, and the Pacers are going to fight back immediately!"

"When the score difference between the game reaches 10 points, our coaches will whistle to remind us how critical the next attack is. There is a fundamental difference between the single-digit gap and the double-digit gap."

Xie Hou slapped the ball, Artest on the left and Papalucas on the right.

Looking at his gesture, Artest moved towards the bottom corner, and Papalucas also dismantled to forty-five degrees of the right wing.

Xie Hou waited patiently for the opportunity, and once the time was right - O'Neal Jr. wanted a very good position, and Kwame didn't take his position seriously.

Their position is already under the basket. If they change to O'Neal, they can get the ball at that position and just turn around and pull it up.

Xie Hou cleverly lobs the ball in.

O'Neal Jr. does not have the physical fitness and body advantage of O'Neal. He is so close to the basket that his move is to turn around.

No suspense, 45 to 53.

The ball entered, O'Neal turned around and demonstrated to Xie Hou - you said you couldn't beat him!

The Mavericks also made the abacus inside.

Nowitzki made the ball for Kwame at the top of the arc, and they obviously overestimated Kwame's ability to hold the ball and attack.

Kwamei stood in the paint area and got the ball, with a living traditional inside line in her hands, such as Yao Yun. The problem of using a big hook is solved as long as she leans on someone. Kwamei doesn't work, he has to rotate, and the magic of love turns around, facing the extremely strong interference, her petite wrist hooks the ball out of the wrist.

Courage is commendable.

Besides courage, what else can you say?

There is nothing to blame for such business beyond their ability. The rebound pops up, Xie Hou accepts it, and changes direction to get rid of Josh Howard. After dribbling to the front court, the Mavericks thought he was going to the basket, but no one expected to choose the emergency stop jump shot at the free throw line.

"Is it just a jump shot?" Claire saw Kwame behind Xie Hou.

Kwamei, who was eager to make a contribution, defended Xie Hou from behind.

The referee has extremely low fault tolerance for steals and blocks initiated from the rear.

Kwamei's palm was small and could not cover Xie Hou's ball flawlessly.

Bang!

They had a skin terrified that Kwamei was terrified, and followed by a whistle that was not surprising.

Xie Hou made a shot when the whistle sounded.

Swish!

Kwame destroyed his balance, causing him to lie down when he landed on the ground.

However, he was not injured, but Kwamei received his fourth foul.

"Oh! That foul is unnecessary!" the young general roared.

Kwamei stood up in shame.

The Mavericks encountered an embarrassing problem. Should Kwamei, who had already committed four fouls, replace them? After changing them, they don’t have a suitable substitute; if they don’t change, they will risk getting a fifth personal foul.

Looking at the score, the young general chose to substitute.

Desagina Diop replaces Kwame.

After Kwamei left, he was already very depressed and was pulled to the corner by the young general and made a fierce output.

In response, Kwamei just nodded apologetically.

If this happened during his rookie period, the young general's character would definitely destroy his mind. Fortunately, he honed a shameless face in the magic of the bad team.

"Avery, I just want to guard him." Kwamei said happily.

"Get a good rest, you will be beaten in the fourth quarter!" The young general gritted his teeth.

Even if Kwame is put on the shelves, other teams cannot pack the suitable defensive blue-collar workers to Dallas and play for him.

What's more, Kwamei has always done a good job and shouldn't have put him on the shelves just for a small mistake.

After trading him, who else can wipe the German man's butt so clean?

48 to 53

If you are not careful, you will be 5 points away.

The Mavericks felt a little nervous and they urgently needed the players to stand up.

If Kaume failed to make a shot, and if Xie Hou was fouled in the defense, he gave 5 points inside and outside, the Mavericks would just not score in one round.

If you don’t score a single round, the difference will reach 5 points.

When I needed to get points, someone remembered Nowitzki.

The Mavericks' absolute core, the power forward who is the longest offensive in history, scored only 8 points in the first half tonight.

His dramatic decline in his offensive role was related to the outstanding performance of the Mavericks.

Xie Hou was born in the first half because he didn't touch the ball for a long time. Tonight, the same thing happened to Nowitzki.

He has been serving his teammates and suddenly got the ball rights, and the team needs him to attack.

The German slammed and tricked Kirilenko. He knew that the feel of the moment was unreliable, so he made a foul and went to the free throw line to find the feel.

Nowitzki's approach proves that he is very clear-headed.

Two free throws.

55 to 48

Xie Hou's change of direction scared Howard. When O'Neal was about to stay in the position, he passed the ball through the ground.
