After a few games, the NBA's midseason reached the Final Four, where the Pacers will face the Bucks in the Eastern Conference
The Bucks are the strongest team in the East, and they are still strong under the leadership of Lillard and Antetokounmpo, and they have finished 15-6 to finish second in the East, and may even replace the Green Army as the first team in the East and enter the midseason hopes.
The Pacers are a lot weaker by comparison. Last season, the Pacers did not make the playoffs, this season they have scored 11-8, ranked seventh in the East, it can be said that it is a very big upset, this team is mostly young, this game they met the Bucks led by Antetokounmpo and Lillard, this team is difficult to win.
At the beginning, the 2 teams quickly found their rhythm, Turner and Toppin kept scoring in the box, and so did Lillard and Antetokounmpo, and the two teams played a game, and the two sides went back and forth to overtake the score!The game entered a stalemate, and the Bucks suddenly broke out, and under the leadership of Brother Alphabet, they pulled the score to 7 points!Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Turner stepped up and made three consecutive three-pointers to help the Pacers tie the score, but fortunately, his strength was not bad, and in the first quarter, the team still maintained a certain advantage, and led by two points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Pacers' offense was more violent, Haliburton continued to send wonderful passes to the opponent, and his interior and outside were greatly helped, leading the Pacers to launch another wave of offense and give up the victory of the game!The Bucks' offense was not very good, they just relied on their offensive power to barely maintain their advantage, but they could not compare with the Pacers, and the game became a one-sided situation, which was firmly controlled by the Pacers, leading by 12 points at halftime.
After the halftime break, Lillard began to get into the groove, he shot outside the three-point line, and Brother Alphabet was as domineering as ever, he kept attacking the basket, constantly scoring, and the Bucks began to fight back under the leadership of these two people, and quickly tied the score!Nembhard scored three points in a row, and the Pacers stabilized the situation, but Lillard's condition was getting better and better, and no one could stop him, and the Bucks won by 15 points in the third quarter and caught up with their opponents by three points in the third quarter.
With a 3-point lead, this game is full of uncertainty and both teams have the possibility of winning!Middleton burst inside and outside, scored in a row, and the Pacers also colored, two people you come and go, you come and go!In the stalemate, the Pacers exploded again, extending the score to 9:2!But Haliburton played well to help them stay ahead, and they eventually beat the Bucks 128-119 to reach the midseason.
With a nine-point win over the Bucks, they showed their strong spirit and ability in the midseason semifinals, beating the second-placed Bucks and advancing all the way to the Finals.
In this game, the Pacers played very well, with five players scoring double-doubles, the most eye-catching of which was their main player Haliburton!Haliburton scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 15 assists on 11-of-19 free throws in 37 minutes, he not only scored high points, but also led the team forward, and more importantly, Haliburton didn't make any mistakes, this kind of efficiency, he shuddered.
Haliburton's play is really good, reminiscent of Harden back then, his shooting skills are very good, and his control is also very good, today's Haliburton, has been completely comparable to Harden back then, and more reliable, this young man, future achievements, will definitely not be bad.
