The game between the two sides has begun.

With a jump ball in the middle circle, McGee took the lead to get the ball and started to attack from the Pacers.

Hill holds the ball.

In the last round, Hill's performance was average.

Under the tough defense of the Bulls, Hill's shooting rate has declined, and there is not much he can do on the offensive end except for fixed-point three-pointers.

On the defensive end, it is also difficult for him to deal with Rose one-on-one.

However, in the Eastern Conference finals, whether Hill can limit Irving to a certain extent is crucial to the Pacers' victory.

On the first offense, Li Liang came out to perform a high pick-and-roll for Hill.

This is also Li Liang's relatively standard tactic, which he has done since the time of the Lakers.

A guy from a small forward background and an MVP-level shooter who has to run out every day to make pick-and-rolls for others, and the quality of the key pick-and-rolls is pretty good.

In the future rankings of NBA small forwards in history, Li Liang's comment can definitely be added, "This man's screen block quality is very high, and this is the only one."

Change after the pick-and-roll is key.

Unlike the Clippers' post-pick-and-roll changes, the Pacers' offensive changes are relatively simple.

Li Liang cuts outside, and Hill holds the ball and makes a tentative breakthrough from the middle.

It was George who defended Li Liang at the beginning. He reached out to block Hill because Owen couldn't keep up.

It was just this block, Hill returned the ball to Li Liang, and after Li Liang caught the ball, he quickly shot a three-pointer!

Fast, really fast.

Due to a lot of practice, his [Zero Second Shot] skill has accumulated to the third level, and he can shoot at a faster speed.

Before George could pounce, Li Liang hit the first three-pointer in the opening game!

Take the lead!

It can be seen that Li Liang is in a very good state today, and the first three-pointer is a good sign for him.

But George also knew it well, and he would definitely not be as defensive as before.

The Cavaliers' offense is more complex than the Pacers'.

After all, their head coach is Blatter, and Tyronn Lue is still sitting on the sidelines as an assistant coach.

Li Liang has to face George on the offensive end and James on the defensive end.

James catches the ball with his back at 45 degrees to the left.

"If you have the ability to hit me back, hit me back?" Li Liangka provoked James behind James.

After returning to the Cavaliers this year, James has further lost weight, and his post-up offense is much less than that of the Heat.

Many times he holds the ball with his back, and the next step is to turn his back to the basket and then break through, or pass the ball directly to support.

Facing Li Liang's provocation, James remained unmoved.

After the Cavaliers took a continuous pick-and-roll and screen, the strong side formed a triangle, and then the weak side Mozgov made an air cut from the middle.

James has observed Mozgov's position, turned his head and flicked the ball, and passed it to Mozgov.

Mozgov caught the ball and cut directly to the basket, making a layup with his left hand!

Quite a beautiful positional offensive tactic.

Blatter assigned James, Irving, and George to the strong side for cross-screen coordination among the three.

Assign Mozgov and Thompson, who have strong offensive rebounding ability, good finishing ability at the basket, and no independent offensive ability, to the weak side of the duo.

The three on the strong side all have the ability to attack independently, and any one of them can attack if they get the ball and seize the opportunity.

The two people on the weak side rush to grab offensive rebounds at any time, cut the basket and receive assists.

It can be said that this is a very good tactical idea for matching, which can be used for complex coordination or simple singles.

This is a huge challenge for the Pacers' man-to-man defense.

Because Granger has to dislocate to defend Thompson, McGee is actually the only one who protects the basket.

Of course, Bird's idea is to open up the offensive end and overwhelm the Cavaliers with offense.

The game against the Cavaliers is destined to be different from the last round against the Bulls.

...

Both sides scored a goal in the opening game, showing that both sides are in good condition.

Later, Hill cooperated with Li Liang again, this time George no longer came out to delay, Hill went directly to the basket and made a throw.

On the Cavaliers side, George missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, but Thompson grabbed an offensive rebound, and the Cavaliers continued to have offensive opportunities.

This time, James is no longer polite to Li Liang at 45 degrees to the right, you want me to hit back?

OK, I've never heard such a request in my life.

He rolled his back directly into the basket, and hit a two-pointer with a throw hook with his left hand.

In order to ensure his good offensive touch, Li Liang didn't wear the Iron Man suit at the beginning.

So being pushed to the basket by James, James is still superior in strength, really like a bulldozer.

And Li Liang immediately returned the favor.

It was still a pick-and-roll with Hill, but this time he chose to go down.

After receiving Hill's ground-hitting pass, Li Liang caught the ball and took a step forward, then suddenly stopped for a jumper.

It turned out to be a fake move, but George was shaken and jumped up. Without saying a word, Li Liang bumped into George and threw the ball at the same time.

Hitting the board and causing George's foul, an additional penalty is required!

Li Liang's quick stop jump shot after breaking through this trick can be regarded as his signature magic skill.

In the history of the NBA, you can count forward. The person who used this trick to become famous in the early days was Oscar Robertson. A dunk on the head, or a pull bar, who will make a stop jump shot with you, especially the ancient trick of the stop jump shot on the board.

However, Li Liang developed it abruptly, and the defenders are very troublesome, and they can't usually meet it.

George had already expected that Li Liang would make an emergency stop, but he didn't expect this guy to play a fake move.

The result is good, foul it.

"Congratulations, you answered quickly, but it's a pity that you answered wrong." Li Liang thought to himself, George's defense is really good, but it's almost meaningless.

The extra penalty was also hit, and Li Liang scored 6 points in a row in the opening game.

However, the Cavaliers opened the offensive state is also very good.

Mozgov received a pass from Irving in a high position and directly hit a mid-range jumper.

Granger caught the ball on the outside and made a three-pointer, but missed.

The two sides tied 6:6.

The Cavaliers chose to let Mozgov take the low position. This is the opportunity for the Cavaliers to overtake.

But McGee defended Mozgov, and Mozgov missed the hook.

But at the basket, Tristan Thompson grabbed another offensive rebound!

Thompson's second offensive rebound came after the opening.

Reorganized the offense, but this time George broke through the inside and lost the ball, and was knocked out by JR-Smith.

Hill took the ball and launched a quick counterattack. Li Liang stepped in and caught the ball at 45 degrees on the right, attracting everyone's attention.

The Cavaliers are in a hurry, this will make Li Liang make a shot, and if he goes in again, the feeling will be bad.

As a result, Li Liang didn't make a shot, but passed a lob to the basket, and McGee who followed him caught the ball and easily dunked it.

James is not the only one who can pass the ball. Li Liang is also a good passer now.

The average number of assists per game in the season is also 5 people.

The offensive state of both sides was very good at the beginning, unlike the last round, which turned into an ugly defensive battle under the agitation of the Bulls.

However, the Pacers at home are in a better state.

James once again singled Li Liang with the ball on the left, but missed a mid-range jumper.

JR-Smith got the rebound and advanced quickly.

The Cavaliers retreated very quickly, Hill slowed down, and the ball was still given to Li Liang.

Li Liang observed from a high position, and JR-Smith on the flank suddenly turned his back and cut to the basket.

Li Liang once again threw the ball high to Smith, Smith leaped high, made an alley-oop, and successfully dunked with both hands!

Because of the reason for retreating, the Cavaliers have not formed a formation at the basket, and there is nothing, so Smith found this opportunity.

And Li Liang's pass was just right.

His passing was like that, not brilliant, but always right, passing anyway.

After entering the playoffs, Li Liang's role on the offensive end has become more and more significant, fully highlighting his core position.

Every goal the Pacers have scored in the opening game has something to do with him.

At 10:6, the Pacers took the lead.

Li Liang's good form at the beginning is not over yet.

Afterwards, George slammed into the basket from the left again, and dribbled the ball out of the baseline...

Throughout the regular season, the Cavaliers did not really solve a problem, that is, how to completely integrate George's offense with James.

The roles of the two on the offensive end overlap slightly, and George's outside shooting ability can only be said to be average (after all, there is no bonus for broken legs).

Therefore, he still followed the route of the Heat Wade, cutting and running back, and at the same time used the ball to take over the offense on the court in a timely manner.

George's more role is still reflected on the defensive end. He shares a lot of pressure on James, when James can invest more in offense.

The Pacers have a defender who is very familiar with him, that is, Danny Granger.

With the ball just now, Granger came over to cover the defense in a very timely manner, blocking George's breakthrough route, causing him to make a mistake.

The ball returned to the Pacers again.

The Cavaliers feel a little bit in trouble, and they can't find a breakthrough.

And the Pacers have one and only one breakthrough point, and that is Li Liang.

This time it's Li Liang's turn to hold the ball. After McGee's pick-and-roll screen, a position is vacant in the middle!

The Cavaliers made a defensive mistake, Li Liang immediately shot a three-pointer!

Mozgov reacted and rushed forward, knocking Li Liang down, but the ball did not fall, and continued to follow the predetermined trajectory and entered the center of the basket!

Huge cheers erupted in the Conseco Arena.

All four Pacers players stepped forward to surround Li Liang.

Li Liang looked up, what do you want to do? Surrounded tightly?

Oh, pull me up, I have two hands in the cage, why are you so many people pulling me up?

Hitting a three-pointer, Li Liang's condition is very hot.
