George, who was highly expected, had a problem in the first two rounds of the game.
On the offensive side, he was blocked by link. Defense, but also inexplicably Leng in place, watching link easy layup.
George''s performance in the first two rounds obviously did not meet the expectations. But the game is just beginning and the fans are still patient with George.
Of course, Reggie Miller knew that George had not been "baffled.". At first glance, link''s breakthrough is nothing. It wasn''t as fancy as Alan Iverson and Kelly Owen, or as amazing as Michael Jordan. Even visually, it''s not as good-looking as James slamming the defender.
But it is that seemingly ordinary breakthrough, in fact, there are hidden dangers! Unless you''ve studied slow motion or experienced it yourself, it''s hard to understand the horror of that shift.
Miller''s heart is in his throat now. He just finished playing George before the game. He doesn''t want to be slapped in the face by link.
Speaking of it, Miller remembers that the last time link beat Durant, the breakthrough had that feeling. Has link changed his breakthrough style since then?
But how could that be possible? In previous seasons, even before this season''s all star game, link''s breakthrough was not like this.
How can a player suddenly change his breakthrough style in the middle of the season? What''s more, the mastery is so perfect.
Miller can''t think about it. Maybe he can''t think about a player of this level.
Now Miller just wants George to stand up to the pressure and show what he''s looking forward to.
George wasn''t as confident about the Pacers'' second attack.
George smelled danger just by attacking and defending.
He was still thinking about link''s breakthrough, and he was still thinking about what had just happened. He has been friends with link since college and has been practicing together.
But never before has link''s breakthrough been similar.
Distracted George made a few three threat steps and then offered the ball to David West.
He told himself that he couldn''t be in a hurry now, or he would be completely in link''s rhythm.
West shouldered the offensive, breaking the scoring drought for the Pacers with a soft jump shot from 17 feet away.
17 foot assassin, worthy of his name. Randolph can''t do anything about it. David West''s risk factor is inversely proportional to his ugly appearance.
The Pacers scored, they equalized, and David West, the true spiritual leader of the team, told fans and teammates, "it''s OK, we''re OK."
But the Pacers fans were not satisfied because Lillard''s defeat two days ago told the walkers that to beat the Grizzlies, they had to cross over link''s body.
It''s no use beating Conley, Randolph, igordala or Tony Allen. The only way to beat Grizzlies is to beat link!
It doesn''t necessarily work if west blows up the fat Randolph today, because link is sure to get back all the points he lost.
Can George beat link? The Pacers fans are still very positive.
But the Pacers fans haven''t responded. George has been blocked by link for the second consecutive round! Although he didn''t make a shot and didn''t make a mistake, in fact, George gave the ball to West because he was prevented from having a chance.
George was very nervous as he watched link approach him again. He was afraid that link would use the same action against himself, and that he knew nothing about the action he had just made, and did not know how to prevent it.
Link got the ball and was more confident than before!
Link of course knows that George is the Pacers'' most important scoring point, as long as George is destroyed, the game is half won.
So link quickly put the "destroy George" plan on the agenda.
Instead of swinging outside the three-point line, link handed the ball back to Conley, signaling his all star teammate to pass it back to him in the low post.
Link ran to the left middle distance position, others as far as possible to open link.
George knew that link had to beat himself back. At least this time, link didn''t do anything out of the ordinary.
Two people in the middle distance close to the low position, like sumo wrestler for an inch, finally link in the fierce confrontation extended his right arm, received Conley comfortable feed ball.
Roy Hebrew immediately returned to the basket, ready to make up for link, who turned inside. The others followed their opponents, knowing how accurate link''s pass was.
Link''s success in catching basketball just close to the low post has already brought a huge threat to the Pacers'' defense.
Back turn jump shot? Turn over? Or with a wave of his arm, he gave the ball to igordala.Link has too many choices, and he has the ability to make every choice a reality.
In a flash, link had made a decision. He suddenly sank into the baseline and half turned. George took a big step. At the same time, also let in the basket crouch under the Hebrew to feel the huge pressure.
Link is going to turn back and break through the baseline!
But as soon as George took a step sideways, link suddenly turned back in the opposite direction. Take off and lean back smartly, jump shot in the blocking that George can''t prevent.
Feihuang after the anti back up jump shot, for link, this move is not new.
He used to follow Kobe to learn back body attack, but also inherited Hill''s strong back body ability. Before link can fly away from the earth, he relies on his exquisite back body attack technology to make countless League valiant generals crazy.
But even so, even if it was link''s usual move, George was shaken out of space.
Because according to link''s previous habits, he just turned around to break through. If it''s just a fake, link''s turn won''t be that big. If the curve of the turn is too big, link can''t quickly turn back and shoot in the opposite direction.
So George took a step sideways to block link''s breakthrough.
But this time, link broke George''s perception of himself again.
He turned quickly, faster than before. His back is like a combination of Kobe, hill and Jordan, and you don''t know what he''s going to do next.
George''s heart was half cold as he watched link shoot easily. The next second, the sound of the net rolling rings, link hit continuously!
"A beautiful backward jump shot, and link''s fake action took George far away. George has to get into shape quickly, and it''s even harder to stop him when linck has a big hand! " Miller''s partner thought it was just a matter of form.
But miller can guarantee that George did his best! And just now, that''s the result of George trying his best to defend!
George was in complete panic, and the game from the beginning was completely different from what he had expected.
After a few rounds of fighting with link, he felt that... He felt as if link had been promoted to another level!
The last time the two sides fought each other, George and link were able to bomb each other mainly because George was full of confidence from the beginning to the end. He is not afraid of link''s attack and defense, just want to fight.
But this time, George''s confidence has been badly hit. The prerequisite for his and link''s mutual explosion has been erased by link.
After the first quarter, George played harder and harder.
On the offensive side, he failed again and again under the tight defense of link. And the defensive end, even more by link after the opening 6 points!
Link saw through George''s expression. The guy''s handsome face was less sunny and calm, but more panic.
At that time, link knew that he was going to eat him today!
In the game, even if you are really flustered, you can''t let the opponent know. Otherwise, you will be met with a more violent blow!
At 9:35 in the first quarter, Stephenson fouled igordala and made the game dead.
Frank Vogel and Dave Joel changed players at the same time, replacing their own stars and giving them a break before the second quarter.
The Grizzlies replaced link with Jimmy Butler, while the walkers replaced Paul George with 10-year number one Evan Turner.
At that time, the top of the list has now become a substitute for the No. 10 show. People are lamenting the impermanence of the world. At the same time, I also feel sorry for George''s poor performance today.
So far, George has made only one of five shots on link''s head, only two points, which is very inefficient. And link in George''s head 5 shot 4, single quarter down 11 points, play incomparably strong!
With George playing poorly, the Pacers are now nine points behind the Grizzlies. Igordala is going to double digits after a free throw.
Before the game, George, who was expected by everyone to make trouble for link, was completely blasted by link at this time!
Reggie Miller was speechless and the Pacers fans were dead. They could only watch link destroy the California boy and crush their hopes.
Two days ago, the pioneers were one step short of victory. People thought Paul George could fill that gap.
But now, how far is that step? No one knows.
