Just as two days ago people were full of expectations for the Blazers, today, the Pacers also carry the expectations of many people.
"Prevent the Grizzlies from breaking through the last line of defense of 72 wins", the slogan alone is enough to prove the status of the game in the hearts of fans.
Although the Trail Blazers were still one step short of topping the Grizzlies in the last game, today, people are still full of confidence in the Pacers.
People are thinking that the poor step, the walker may really be able to walk through.
The reason is simple. The Pacers have Paul George.
Handsome, technical, tall, long arm, and outstanding record... If you want to choose the man in the league who can cause linck the most trouble except James and Durant, it will be Paul George.
He has almost all the conditions for success, he led the team to play the first in the East, his personal performance is very good, his physical condition is better than link. Even that face is a giant star.
Most importantly, George had just had a fight with link last time. It turns out that once the two sides get angry, George will not be easily thrown away.
Stop link, stop Grizzlies from breaking the 72 win record. George is the perfect choice.
"Paul George did a great job last time, facing the Bulls'' gummy defense, when his teammates lost sight under that tough defense. George shot down 33 points with a 62.4% super high shooting rate to help the walkers through! He has been in good form recently and he must be looking forward to the game. Maybe George can really feel the defeat today
Along with Reggie Miller''s commentary, the scene gives George a close-up.
George also hugged and talked with link for a long time before today''s game. He is still a warm and good friend of link. But when the game started, George''s face changed.
He became focused, no longer giggling, as if he would never give up until he took the victory.
George stood with his waist crossed across from link, waiting for the kick-off, and his confident appearance made the fans more confident that it would be a brilliant night for the walkers 24.
With him, perhaps the walker can really step over that only one step!
The referee went to the middle circle with the ball, and both sides could not wait.
The starting line-up of the two sides is the same as the last one. The Grizzlies won''t change the starting lineup easily, and so will Pacers coach Frank Vogel.
Hebrew, West, George, Stephenson and George Hill, the Pacers sent out their first five tigers to beat the heat.
Byrd was right yesterday that the Pacers do have one of the best teams in the league.
The referee threw the basketball into the air, "black Yao Ming" Hebert got the first attack right for the walkers with his height advantage.
All of a sudden, the konseco stadium became a roar of people. I don''t know. I thought the finals were staged ahead of time.
The basketball capital of Indianapolis seems to have fallen completely since the mayhem at Auburn mountain palace. Even legendary Larry Bird couldn''t save Indiana from decline.
But the appearance of Paul George made a difference. Today''s Pacers seem to be back in the ''90s and early 2000s, where fans will shout for their every game. And the players, will also present a wonderful victory for the fans.
In the luxury box, Byrd held his chin and fixed his eyes on the court.
If this game was the finals, what would the Pacers look like? Byrd believes that through this game, he can even see the future of the Pacers!
George Hill took possession of the ball and after half-time, the first attack didn''t look for George. Instead, it went to Stevenson.
The Pacers are actually a team oriented team offense, they don''t bombard them with George as soon as they come up.
Stephenson, who has a streetball background, bumps into igordala and makes a one handed backguard.
Once again, Stephenson was eager to imitate Jordan. Jordan may be able to pass igordala after one handed ball protection, but Stephenson can''t.
Stephenson''s dribble is not superb, the center of gravity is a little too high. Several virtual shakes did not cause trouble to igordala, but almost was robbed by igordala.
In the last game, Stephenson wanted to share the pressure for George. But twice in a row, Stephenson was taken out of his temper by igordala.
In the end, Stephenson had to give the ball to George. The protagonist of this game is destined to be the 24th from California.
The moment Paul George received the ball, all the fans in the stadium stood up! George VS Linke, this is the essence of this competition.
Everyone can''t wait to see how George is going to score on link.
In the last game, George and link had a big fight. Linckner''s 50 point triple double, can be said to be forced out by George. But today, link doesn''t want to do that. To ensure victory, George must be contained. If you want to explode, you have to suppress George unilaterally!After George got the ball, he broke through under the cover of David West. George was not slow, and his pace was very big. Most people can''t keep up with him by breaking through under cover.
Link also couldn''t get around and block him completely, but he stayed on George''s side all the time, trying to give George a strong fight.
Seeing George suddenly raise his center of gravity, link immediately braked and raised his arm to block George''s shot!
Sure enough, the next second, George stopped the jump shot! But to George''s surprise, link didn''t even give him half a step!
Link knows that when George dribbles, the weight drop is very obvious. If he raises his center of gravity ahead of time, it means he''s going to shoot!
Although there are not many chances for the two to meet each other at the end of a season, because they have been training together all summer, George has little secret in front of link.
"Damn it!" There was a sense of panic on George''s cold face. He knew that his emergency stop couldn''t be far away from link, but he didn''t even think there was room for one step!
After George took off, the angle of the shot was completely blocked by link. Under helpless, George can only be forced in the air to cast into the pass!
But at this time, the Pacers all acquiesced that George would take the shot, not ready to receive the ball at all.
Standing under the basket, Hebert Duca was ready to grab the rebound, only to find that the basketball suddenly flew towards him.
"Black Yao Ming" couldn''t react at all. By the time he reached for it, the basketball had already flown out of bounds.
There was a sigh, and the fans who were so excited that they stood up swearing and sitting back. Who could have thought that George, who had been placed high hopes, had been blundered by link in the first round?
"Damn it, my fault!" Forget the fans, even George himself is disappointed. As soon as he landed, he raised his right hand apologetically and admitted his mistake.
"George seems to be in a bit of a hurry. The ball just passed in a hurry. Maybe it''s because the game has just started and the mentality has not been adjusted. But that''s OK. It''s just the first round. " Reggie Miller shook his head, unable to hide his disappointment. However, in Miller''s view, this mistake will not have any impact on the overall situation.
Many people think that George''s mistake was accidental. But George knew that link''s defense was perfect!
He accurately anticipated his sudden stop and blocked his shooting angle for the first time. Even if you just don''t make a mistake, the shot won''t hit.
What a terrible defense!
George quickly shook his head, trying to shake the shadow of failure out of his head.
That''s how it''s against link, and he''ll give you a sense of frustration from time to time. If you''re fooled by this, wait for the link hammer to blow you up today.
The more afraid you are, the worse you will be crushed.
George knows that he needs to get back together now. It''s not the end of the world. Besides, it''s not easy for link to score on his head!
In a flash, the Grizzlies have come up. The fans of the konseco stadium also readjusted their mentality and cheered again.
It doesn''t matter if you can''t make it, just let link not.
Link received Conley''s pass from the left outside the three-point line and was ready to start the attack. The Grizzlies attack can rest assured by link to launch, because the final attack is pass, link can make the most correct choice.
"Link also holds the ball and is ready to attack. Let''s see what kind of trouble George will bring to link this time." Reggie Miller is rubbing his hands. George is not good at fighting, nor is link!
Link called for cover after holding the ball and then said something that made George puzzled.
"Did Durant call you before the game?"
"Ah!" George was stunned for a moment. What does Durant have to do with this game.
"Just not on the phone."
Link said, little Gasol cover just in place!
Now, Durant is the only one in the league who has experienced the change of link. Now it seems that Durant did not remind George, then, the attack is simple!
Link speeds up to the side with cover, and George skilfully bypasses little Gasol, and soon crosses to link.
On defense, George is also the best defensive lineup level. And the Pacers are one of the best defensive teams in the league.
Just when George thought that he had blocked link''s breakthrough route, now only to guard against link''s shooting, link suddenly changed the direction of breakthrough!
George''s eyes widened. What''s going on!? Link has already set the center of gravity, how can he change his breakthrough direction in this situation!?
George froze, like a stake in the same place.
Link this from the stunned George side through, and in the air to block the Hebrew, easy layup hit.
"What happened!? Why is George suddenly in the same place? " On the stage, Reggie Miller''s partner spread his hands.Reggie Miller sat in his seat with the same expression as George and said nothing for a long time.
"Reggie? What did you say happened? Why is George suddenly stunned
The partner continued to ask, but Miller did not open his mouth.
What did he see just now? Link changed the direction of his breakthrough when he was already off the center of gravity, shaking George out of his position.
This scene reminds Miller of a spring 16 years ago. At that time, he was in this stadium, in George''s position, facing an elegant man in the Pistons'' No. 33 shirt, and was rocked in the same way.
Then, exasperated, Miller rushed up and hugged the number 33 and got a technical foul. It was one of the few times Miller had been so irritated by being teased by his opponent.
as like as two peas, the link between rink and that 33 is almost the same. George, like Miller at that time, was shaken away and didn''t know what happened.
George was like a wooden stump, because he did not respond from the brain to the body. Miller was in the same state at that time. The only difference between him and George was that he applied for a technical foul and George didn''t.
What''s the name of number 33? By the way, Grant Hill.
"Reggie? Reggie? "
Miller''s partner called two more times, and Miller came to his senses.
"What happened to that ball?"
"Nothing. George will be able to adjust quickly." Miller squeezed out a smile and nodded to his partner. At the same time, the Pacers have also sent the baseline ball, ready for a second attack.
However, Miller said that because he did not want to create panic.
What he really wanted to say to his partner was, "no, George''s in big trouble."
Judging from George''s reaction, Miller speculated that he had not seen link use that before. In other words, he is as helpless as he was in 1998.
Link still knows George, but George''s understanding of link is biased. Miller curled his lips. He wished it was an accident.
