Both sides scored extremely low in the third quarter. After O'Neal Jr. made Howard's fourth foul, the Pacers' inside advantage for the first time.

In order not to repeat the same mistake (the first game), Howard was transferred off the court by the coaching staff after getting his fourth foul. The Bulls, who lost their advantage in the interior, did not become a bad team that the Pacers could randomly knead. Chris Paul could join the individual offense with highlights several times to help the team maintain the gap within 3 points.

O'Neal Jr. became more and more courageous as he fought alone. He was confident in whether he was singles Howard or other inside players of the Bulls. Even at his peak, he did not show such strong offensive ability. His explosion surprised the Pacers' team.

In the past few years, the Pacers' inside line has an advantage in external combat because they have two All-Star inside lines, but because of O'Neal's inefficiency in singles, their problems can only be reflected on the defensive end. Tonight, O'Neal's inner explosion against the Bulls made Xie Hou and others feel how happy it is to have an absolute strength in the inside line.

65 to 63

The Pacers entered the fourth quarter with a 2-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bulls did not rush to replace Howard, but regarded Paul as the core of the offensive, focusing on him, and constantly launched the pick-and-roll offense.

Be careful in offense and defense, but it turns out that it is difficult to prevent attack and defense.

Both sides lost their previous level. Although they scored very few points, it does not mean that their defense is very good, because the balls they missed were all chances that they could usually make.

This situation was not resolved until three and a half minutes after the opening of the fourth quarter when Dwight Howard came on the court.

Howard usually won't be the one to break the deadlock, but tonight, he came up and reminded both teams with a dunk: When will he not fight at this time?

68 to 69

Howard's dunk left only 1 point behind the gap between the two sides.

The Pacers' team put pressure on them, Howard helped the Bulls break the offensive bait, but who will break the Pacers' offensive bait?

The basketball flew to Xie Hou's hands and scored 29 points in the first half. He did not continue his performance in the third quarter, with 4 points in a single quarter and 2 points in the first three and a half minutes of the fourth quarter.

Currently, he scored 35 points, which is the highest score in the game, but if the Pacers want to win, Xie Hou needs to get more points.

"I believe Arthur was not blocked, and no one could block him."

Charles Barkley said this when Shehou dribbled through half the game.

Tonight, within the three-point line, he is God.

He made 10 of 11 shots in the middle distance, including breakthrough scores and free throws, scored 35 points, and there was no grain outside the three-point line. Even if there were no three-pointers, Xie Hou who dribbled over could still make his opponent nervous.

Because each of them understands how powerful Xie Hou's ball-holding attack is.

Sabo Sefrosa, this year is his second time to fight against Xie Hou on behalf of the ball. He has not successfully stopped Xie Hou once, but the team just believes in him.

At this time, Xie Hou dribbled the ball and changed direction. His defensive space was shrinking inward. Xie Hou's inside the three-point line was as accurate as an immortal. He made 0 of 4 shots from the first three-point line outside the three-point line. As long as he was forced to take action, his defense would be - no! When Sefrosa saw Xie Hou's emergency stop and three-pointer, her first reaction was "No!"

Secondly, his defense was successful.

Then they all looked at the ball in the air.

Xie Hou tried the fifth three-pointer tonight, and it flew so high, which must be the highest arc he threw.

The basketball flying high shot out the deadliest arc, along the position set by Xie Hou, swish!

Perfect!

"Arthur's first three-pointer tonight!" Smith said, "Previously, he made 10 of 11 shots from mid-range shots. If he regained his three-pointer feel at this time, how will the Bulls defend?"

The fierce attack clearly showed that the Bulls could not defend, and their counterattack was quite fast. Paul was unprepared to attack and sneaked into a goal.

72 to 70

The team that is in the lead is still the Pacers.

They were the ones who led the first quarter, and they were the ones who led the fourth quarter, and the Chicago Bulls began to feel uneasy.

The emotion of losing may spread among the fans. After Xie Hou made a three-pointer, the panic of being unable to defend was transmitted from the field to the outside of the field. The fear on the Bulls players' faces infected the fans.

Why do coaches don’t like players crying on the court? Because emotions are like smells, singing, and all the substances and media containing spirit will infect others.

When you see someone laughing, as long as he laughs for a long time, you will not help laughing. When you hear someone crying loudly, even if you don’t know why, the miserable crying will make you feel sympathetic. The depressed face on the field will affect your teammates and fans.

That was the expression that Sefrosa showed in an instant.

In the same position, in the same way, Xie Hou made the second three-pointer.

"It's so happy to see you look scared. That's exactly what I want!" Xie Hou scored 40. He raised his hand and shouted to his teammates, "Guys, we can't stop here. The Chicago people are not our opponents. Take out all your energy, destroy them, and completely destroy them!"

The Bulls gave up before they saw Xie Hou making a three-pointer. They were just like other teams, fearing Xie Hou, who was blooming both internal and external lines.

Paul is not afraid, and Howard is not afraid. These two core players who dare to face Xie Hou are their support.

Xie Hou not only exploded by himself, he shot two consecutive three-pointers, and the space he pulled out benefited his teammates.

Sefrosa was worried that he would take the third three-pointer and the defense would approach. Xie Hou had to make a breakthrough, but now he only needs one step.

As Sefrosa was frequently passed by, the Bulls' defense was in chaos.

Paul needs to assist in defense, and Hinrich needs to assist in defense. When Xie Hou saw Xie Hou judged the situation, was he confident or gave his teammates confidence.

The team attributes rooted in his heart made him pass the ball, so his wonderful and sweet feel as sweet as honey was passed to Papalucas, to Artest, to Kirirenko, and even O'Neal Jr. made a Tim Duncan-style right-hand side forty-five-degree mid-range shot.

Within four minutes, the Pacers made a 15-9 offense from offense to defense.

87 to 79

Four minutes before the game, the Bulls were 8 points behind. They had never been so much behind before. The Pacers suddenly swept the entire field and made the United Center quiet like a silent movie.

The picture is moving, but no sound is heard.

Some people are unwilling to fail, such as Chris Paul, who is already the top three defenders in the league at the age of 22.

He jumped up and shot with anger on his face, trying to regain the situation.

His three-pointer was able to shoot but not accurate. He was not a pure shooter. He took anger and the basketball hit the basket angrily, bounced out, and returned in vain.

Papalucas protected the defensive rebound, and was careless when passing it to Xie Hou, and was cut off by Paul.

Paul made a move on the spot and made a mid-range shot.

81 to 87

He kept the score with all his might so that the Pacers wouldn't beat the game into garbage time.

A great team always has some temperament.

The Pacers are undoubtedly tied with the Ok Lakers as the greatest team of the first decade of the 21st century. If they can be the final champion this year and become the final champion, then the five-year and four-time championship record will allow them to surpass the Lakers and become the most successful team in the 2000s.

They will eventually fall one day, but unfortunately it is not today.

Xie Hou and his teammates proved one thing to the Eastern Conference tyrants who challenged each other again and again - Xie Hou passed Sefrosa two steps, turned the game into a personal performance scene, grabbed the ball with one hand, dribbled the attention of Howard and Big Ben, and used these two coquettish guys who could not make their whole life to pass the ball with one hand.

Kirilenko, who received the ball, jumped up and dunked with one hand.

"Ula~~~!!!" the Russian yelled.

89 to 81

Is there any difference from Pistons to Knights to Bulls?

Well, the team name is different;

The leaders are different;

Different personnel matching;

But they have more in common.

They are considered capable of defeating the Pacers;

They fell down in a similar position;

After a lot of hard work, not only did not shake the Pacers' dominance, but instead gave the Eastern Conference team a wake-up call.

If the bull falls today, the walker's rule will continue.

Will the Celtics defeat them (the Celtics have defeated the Heat at this time)? Just because of those keen to fight against the weak team for seven games?

Three minutes before and after the midfield, Paul borrowed Howard's pick-and-roll and made a three-pointer forward shot.

That shot brought hope to the Bulls.

Swish!

84 to 89

Only 5 points away.

"Return to defense!" veteran Big Ben cried.

It was too late, he was the only one who retreated. The young people were just venting their emotions and forgot that the game was not over yet. The Pacers did not call a timeout. They needed to retreat, but they used their precious retreat time to celebrate Paul's difficult three-pointer.

Xie Hou rushed to the scene, so gorgeous that Barkley and Smith were sitting on the commentary seat and singing praises in a small range of slamming and passing the ball.

The ball flew into Papalucas's hand, he lifted the ball, looked at the basket, and took action.

The three-pointer that chased him, when it fell into the basket, Paul happened to run back and saw the Pacers finish the counterattack like lightning. Xie Hou and his teammates celebrated each other, walked past them, and did not take the Bulls seriously at all.

"The young men paid the price, and the Pacers' counterattack has reached the frontcourt, and there are three of them who have not crossed the half."

"Fortunately, they didn't seem to give up."

Not giving up is the most valuable quality that the bull shows.

This team is still very young. They dragged the Pacers into the tiebreak and the death battle for the first time they reached here, which is a bit like the original Cavaliers, but their potential is far greater than that of only Wade's Cavaliers.
