But the aggressively battling Dale Davis grabbed an offensive rebound.
He went up strong under the basket and banked it in on the second attempt, 2-0!
The Pacers started out very tough, and the performance of this bald squad was already enough to leave their mark in history.
Smits’ mid-range shots, the two Davis’ battling in the paint, the talented Jalen Rose, the steady Mark Jackson and the ever-energetic Reggie Miller will always be remembered.
The fans in Indiana believed that this was the best Pacers team of the ’90s!
But the Hawks were not showing any weakness.
When Roger passed the ball to Steve Smith, who had shaken off Reggie Miller, he confidently returned with a three-pointer and then pointed to the sky with both hands, “God, let Andy see the night we lift the trophy.”
Since meeting Andy, every time Steve Smith made a three-pointer, he prayed, and he had prayed 122 times.
For this goal, the Steve Smith who used to underperform in the playoffs was now not missing any opportunities.
No matter the result, he was going to play like a brave champion!
After scoring, Pippen spread his arms, slapped the floor, and yelled at Reggie Miller, “Come on, you son of a bitch!”
Reggie Miller flashed a row of sharp teeth, “I love walking dogs the most!”
Then came another round of intense struggle.
Today, both sides would play this way until one team fell.
In the opening phase, Steve Smith was on fire.
Roger also passed him quite a few balls, while Steve Smith, like an emotionless shooting machine, would catch the ball and shoot immediately, never hesitating, using Reggie Miller’s own method against him.
Eventually, Steve Smith finished the first quarter with 3 out of 4 three-pointers, scoring 15 points in the quarter!
Roger dished out 4 assists in the quarter, all to Steve Smith.
The guy who was once just muddling through for a salary at the beginning of the season, who did not understand why Roger had to be so harsh on his teammates for victory, had now completely surrendered himself to the war.
At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks had taken a 12-point lead.
But the Pacers wouldn’t be taken down so easily.
During the break, Coach of the Year Larry Bird made a bold decision, choosing not to use his former Dream Team teammate Chris Mullin, who could no longer keep up with the intensity of the game due to age, and put more responsibility on Jalen Rose, while breaking a piece of the whiteboard:
“This damned series won’t get any easier because of compromise, so we’ve got to fight!”
In the second quarter, the Pacers woke up with a three-pointer from Reggie Miller.
Jalen Rose, replacing Miller to chase Steve Smith, was effective.
The number 8, who couldn’t miss in the first quarter, started to have difficulty receiving the ball.
On Roger’s side, the double-teaming by Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller was even more ferocious than Mark Jackson plus Chris Mullin.
Jalen Rose’s fast-break slam, Rik Smits’ precise pick-and-pop jumper, Mark Jackson’s alley-oop feeds…
The Pacers gradually eroded the lead in the second quarter, and with Antonio Davis’ put-back hit at the ninth minute, they tied the game!
“The highlights of this game aren’t just the flickering numbers on the scoreboard, what we truly appreciate are the competitive spirits of the players!
Look at them, they’re all sweating profusely, but never disappoint!” Bill Walton was thrilled, and at this point, the game satisfied all his fantasies.
Roger scored 16 points in the defensively tighter second quarter, still leading the Hawks to enter the halftime break with a 5-point advantage.
But the fans in Indianapolis were not discouraged; a 5-point deficit was nothing.
In the locker room during halftime, Lenny Wilkens almost screamed himself hoarse, “Defense, rebounding, that’s the key to winning everything!
I don’t want to see any Davis bastard taking our rebounds!
Damn it, no matter what, you must grab that ball every round!”
Then came Ben Wallace’s fearless, Rodman-like dive for the loose balls.
Then there’s Pippen, fighting for every ball despite his back pain.
And Kurt Thomas, who took an elbow to the back but never shrank away from the fight for position.
In the third quarter, the Hawks firmly held onto their defensive rebounds and gave the Pacers no chances for second attempts.
Everyone was giving it their all for this game.
The fans in Atlanta had long forgotten whatever damn curse, and looking at those fighting on the court, they felt completely secure.
They wouldn’t allow their city to become a laughingstock.
After three quarters, Roger had added 13 points for a total of 34 points.
The Hawks had extended their lead to 9 points.
However, in the fourth quarter, that sinister figure arrived.
He started with two consecutive three-pointers, instantly reducing the gap to just 3 points.
A few plays later, Reggie Miller stole the ball on defense from Roger.
At the time, Roger was preparing to drive past Mark Jackson, but as soon as he accelerated, the ball was knocked away by Miller, who had suddenly appeared.
As Roger turned to regain control of the ball, he was deliberately bumped off by Dale Davis from behind.
