NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 233

The Pacers' offense, Paul George came over to help Xu Xiang make a pick-and-roll, and then quickly slid down to the basket. Xu Xiang's pass was also passed over immediately. Paul George just wanted to pick it up for a layup, but Horford assisted in the defense. There was no room for a shot in an instant. In desperation, George just wanted to get the ball into Hibbert's hands.

The defense on the opposite side was very active. Horford watched the ball shift, and immediately defended Hibbert desperately. Millsap's help defense also arrived.

At this time, they also understand that as long as they defend this ball well, their chances of winning will be greatly improved.

There was not much time left in the attack. Just as Hibbert was about to make a strong move, the ball in his hand was cut off all of a sudden.

Steal from Paul Millsap!

The audience stood up instantly. This steal was too powerful. If the Eagles scored this goal, it would basically be equivalent to establishing the victory.

Regardless of the annoyance, everyone in the Pacers returned to the defense desperately. Xu Xiang rushed to the first place, with Jeff Teague in front and Korver behind.

A wave of 2-on-1 formed in the frontcourt. Xu Xiang glanced at it from the corner of his eye. Korver was about to catch up with him. It was not easy. A veteran can fight like this.

Everyone in the Pacers was also chasing after them hard. Jeff Teague looked behind while running, and the positions of Xu Xiang and Korver were all in his eyes.

He came to the penalty area with a feint, and flicked the ball to the left with his left hand. Xu Xiang's attention was instantly attracted, and at the moment Xu Xiang changed direction, he retracted instantly, giving it to Korver who was catching up, and scored a layup.

In the final time, the Eagles took the lead!

The whole place is boiling!

With 28 seconds left, the Pacers had the last chance to attack.

They were running out of time, Xu Xiang slowly dribbled the ball across half court, gestured for distance, and at the same time secretly gestured to Paul George, Paojiao instantly understood, and began to run without the ball.

After 15 seconds, Xu Xiang still didn't make a shot, and at this time, Paul George had sneaked into the left corner.

Hibbert took the initiative to make a screen pick-and-roll, then quickly retreated to the baseline and received a pass from Xu Xiang.

The Eagles obviously had expected this scene. Horford and Millsap double-teamed them immediately and wanted to repeat the steal just now, but Hibbert didn’t give them a chance this time. The ball was quickly released when he saw the double-teaming, and it was transferred to Xu Xiang in the right corner. Xu Xiang took the ball and rushed in. There was only one Korver in front of him. If not, Xu Xiang has only one way to be cut off.

I saw him take a step back in a calm manner, first swaying Korver away with a fake move, and then a series of dribbles under the crotch quickly got rid of Jeff Teague, and he was about to make a successful layup!
Carol over there also didn't care about the pickled peppers, and turned around to block Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang's eyes lit up, he was waiting for you!
At this moment, Xu Xiang seized the only gap and skillfully passed the ball to Paojiao's hands.

There is no one in front of pickled peppers!
At this time, it was too late for Carol to react, Pickled Pepper glanced at it, and shot a three-pointer instantly!

With a swipe, a successful hit!

Three points hit!

Xu Xiang and Paul George bumped their chests hard. They had been paying attention from the beginning. They diverted their attention through the attacks of Hibbert and Xu Xiang continuously, allowing Paul George, who was vacated, to get a shot.

Everyone is guessing that Xu Xiang should be the executor of the Pacers' final attack. After all, his shooting has been proven many times, so all the attention of the Eagles is also on Xu Xiang, but Paul George is ignored.

You must know that Pickle's three-point shooting percentage after returning from injury has reached a career high, so there is no problem in letting him make this attack.

And he also seized the opportunity and steadily threw the ball in!
This basically established the victory of the game.

The Pacers controlled the attack time well, leaving only 6 seconds for the opponent in the end.

There is still a chance in 6 seconds, and many Eagles fans are comforting themselves.

As long as they score this attack, they can win, and the Pacers have no chance of counterattacking because there is no time.

But it's a pity, what they can think of, how can everyone in the Pacers team can't think of it?
The last attack was still defended by the Pacers, and Jeff Teague's breakthrough throw missed, which meant that the Pacers won the first game of this round of the series.

121-120, the Pacers narrowly won by 1 point.

Xu Xiang played 37 minutes, 25 of 14 shots, 7 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 5 free throws, 36 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, 56% shooting from the field and 42% from the three-point range. Paul George played 23 minutes, 16 of 8 shots, 7 of 4 three-pointers, 26 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. messed up.

The two scored 62 points in a row to lead the team to victory.

On the opposite side, Korver scored the highest score in this game, scoring 41 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds, 16 of 10 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 three-pointers in a single game, but he still lost in the end.

During the post-match interview, Xu Xiang and Paul George walked in together, and the flashlights flickered all of a sudden.

Please start asking questions.

The first question goes to coach Nate McMillan.

"Hello, Mr. Coach, I'm a reporter from ESPN. When you made the final attack, did you arrange the tactics early?"

Coach Nate looked at Xu Xiang and then at Paul George. To be honest, he did not arrange any tactics in the final attack. It was decided by Xu Xiang and Paul George, and he was not a greedy person, so he said:
"The cooperation between the two of them is very tacit. The last attack was their own decision. I didn't participate in it, but you all saw that the effect was very good."

"Will Paul George be put on the starting lineup for the next games?"

Nate thought for a while and said:

"It depends on his physical condition, let's talk about it later."

Let's start asking Xu Xiang and Paul George:

"Is that attack a temporary decision of yours?"

Xu Xiang glanced at Paul George, and replied slowly:
"I know he can make a shot, so I think he can make the last shot. The opponent must think I'm coming back to play, but I'm just a cover."

Paul George also said:
"We have a good relationship. We practice together a lot. When I saw his gestures, I knew what he wanted to do. I just did what I had to do."
