In the second half of the first quarter, the Raptors replaced Valanciulos again to play. For Lin Sen, who had never exerted his strength at the beginning, they were waiting for this time.

Defend to the opponent's current Raptors' core Valanciolos on the field, and find his weaknesses on the offensive end to defeat him.

Lin Sen was holding the ball outside to look for opportunities at the top of the arc. Valanciolos really didn't want to run outside the three-point line again and again to defend Lin Sen, but every time he was pulled outside by Lin Sen, it was very uncomfortable!

Lin Sen decided to mainly find trouble for Valanciolos. He was bullied by this big white bear at the beginning of his career. If he had the chance, he would have to fight back now.

After breaking through to the near free throw line, he had already gotten rid of Valanciulos' defense, and then directly completed the shot and hit it directly from the middle distance.

In the next round, Valanciulos let go a little bit, giving Lin Sen a little bit of space to better face his breakthrough, but Lin Sen did not hesitate and raised his hand to make a three-pointer. Lin Sen's three-pointer now has a feeling of being better than blue for Oku. In this position, it is directly pulled out without dribbling.

Valanciulos was helpless. He gave him some opportunity to test Lin Sen's touch today. But not only did the mid-point shooting feel explode, but Lin Sen's three-pointer was also very accurate.

Now the small lineup is no longer a special lineup for this Raptors in special circumstances, but has become the only way for this Raptors to fight against the Pacers now. Valanciulos has too big problems on the defensive end, so they can only continue to let Ibaka on the court.

"If a slow-speed big center is in the inside, it feels like it will be abandoned by this era. Nowadays, the centers are all guys like Lin, KAT, and Anthony who can run and jump, and the weight center is no longer suitable for this era." Barkley shook his head and sighed.

O'Neal's face is not good-looking, and what is a slow-speed big center is not reliable: "Hey, hey! Can you add a premise? This is the center without dominance. For example, I, such a dominant center will definitely destroy this small ball system when I come to this day."

His face looked very bad. Isn’t Barkley criticizing him? He said that he would be unacceptable in the current league. He really wanted to gain a foothold in this league. As long as he returned to the top, he would have 100% confidence. Unfortunately, even the player he is most optimistic about now, Lin Sen is not his type of center.

The Raptors' small lineup must make themselves play their own speed. The Raptors replaced Valanciulos and wanted to run, but the small lineup could not play their speed, which was empty talk.

The ball rights returned to the Raptors' backcourt dual cores who performed well tonight. Tonight was probably the best game they played in this playoffs. They made all the offenses they were good at, and they did a good job in three-pointers and mid-range shots.

Especially DeRozan, he performed very well when facing George and played Kobe's style.

"These several back jump shots have shown his style. When the team was in anxiety, it was great that Demar was able to stand up and fight. Tonight he suppressed Paul George on both offense and defense!" O'Neal was a little surprised. At this time, the Raptors without Valanciolos were forced to play a small lineup instead of a small lineup that they played at the beginning, but they were not behind.

Lowry directly resisted CJ Myers, faced this defender who was higher than himself, and directly carried him through the inside and scored 21!

Under the Raptors' fierce attack, George was in a normal state. When he came to Toronto, he threw away his sight and was not adapted to the basket of the Air Canada Center. He made him dizzy!

It depends on Lin Sen. Tonight, the Pacers' outside line seems a bit like a garbage brother. The dragon and the away game are in their home game. When they are in their own away game, Gordon and George play very well. Even George, who has always been known for his stability and has performed well in the playoffs, is not good enough.

"Give the ball to Lin! What is needed at this time is not a three-pointer from the outside, but a more reliable inside attack again and again!" O'Neal was anxious as a commentator. Although Lin Sen averaged about 30 points per game in the previous games, he rarely saw Lin Sen have explosive output. It seems that there will be this opportunity tonight.

The first half ended, Lin Sen scored 14 points on 6 of 11 shots, but these 14 points were distributed in different parts of the two quarters, and there were few explosive scoring growth at some point. In the first half, this Raptors led the Pacers in the first half in the series for the first time, 59:53. The leading advantage was not big, but for the Raptors fans, these leads were enough for their fans to have a drink during the break!

The Pacers' locker room did not become lifeless because of the temporary backwardness. Everyone was still communicating about what situation they had in the game just now and how they should defend.

"That guy Demar has a great touch! I feel like it's a little difficult to deal with him tonight." The first thing I complained about was George. Facing DeRozan, who was in the best form of the Raptors tonight, he was very tired on the defensive end tonight!

"Kyle is in good shape. He can still complete such a difficult layup under such a strong confrontation. There are no such point guards in the entire league!"

"Stop!" McMillan clapped and shouted, "Guys, you have no problem with your defense in the first half. I'm very proud of your defense. In my opinion, it's great to have only got 59 points for this Raptors. The problem is in our offense."

"Tonight our outside shooting percentage is average, so we have to play in the second half." McMillan was very decisive and did not panic because he fell behind by 6 points in the first half. Moreover, the opponent was not a weak team. Last year, the second in the Eastern Conference, the Raptors, and with the addition of Ibaka and further growth of the dual cores in the backcourt, it can be seen that this Raptors are actually stronger than the second in the Eastern Conference last year.

The Raptors, who returned to their home court, had the chance to win this game, and now they performed well, and it seems that they are bound to win this game.
Chapter completed!
