It''s not the first time that link has let the opposing fans down. Whenever people think that Grizzlies will have trouble, and that link will encounter difficulties, the fact is often quite different from people''s imagination.
But none of the fans in Indianapolis ever thought that things would be so disappointing.
In their expectation, the Pacers should be closer to victory than the pioneers two days ago. In their expectation, Paul George should have played a good match with link. In their expectation, this should be a fierce finals preview!
Now, however, the Pacers are 14 points behind in the last four minutes of the final quarter. While link has downplayed 28 points, Paul George''s score has not yet reached 20.
Most of the stands in the kangseco stadium are empty, and many walkers fans have left early because they can''t stand such humiliation.
"We are the best team," Larry Bird, who sat in a luxury box with a glazed eye, told reporters 24 hours ago.
But now, he thought it was ridiculous.
Byrd never turned over when he was a player, but at this time... That''s why Byrd doesn''t like to pretend to be forced in recent years. Now, after all, his fate is not in his own hands.
But what saddens Byrd most is not the feint failure, but the huge gap between the walker and the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are undoubtedly one of the most powerful championship contenders of the season, and if the Pacers want to win, they have to be ready to fight the Grizzlies.
But judging from the results of today''s game, the walkers are not yet capable of creating trouble for Grizzlies. If it''s a best of seven series, Byrd reckons the Pacers can only win one at most!
Such a situation, let Byrd see no hope for the championship. He didn''t expect that the East is still so far away from the championship.
At the same time, on the pitch, George''s confidence was completely destroyed.
He''s only got 12 points today and his shooting percentage has dropped below 30%! He spent the whole game in the sound of the iron.
If the rest of the walkers had not come forward, the difference would have been even greater.
What makes George despair is not his poor performance, but link''s excellent performance which is completely opposite to him.
Link today beat George out of temper. He suffered a lot on both sides of attack and defense. In front of link, George felt like he was back in rookie season. In the face of a strong opponent, he is too weak to do anything.
But obviously in the last game, both sides can barely make a draw. Obviously last summer, the two have been sticking together to train.
George thought he was close to catching up with link, like two racing cars on the track. George is about to overtake. He''s got his route right, he''s in gear, he''s ready to go.
But link smiles back into the rearview mirror, pushes up the gas, and gently pushes George away from him, waiting for George to come after him.
Every time you think you can catch up with him, he can get rid of you. This sense of frustration, at this time, has completely occupied George''s heart.
Hill moved the ball from the crowded inside line to the left bottom corner with a beautiful touchdown pass. There, Paul George is on standby.
At this time, there are still a small number of Pacers fans shouting for the home team players, they still think the Pacers still have a chance of life.
George received the basketball and the fans were expecting him to make a good long shot. In this way, the difference is only 11 points!
It is not an impossible task to pursue 11 minutes in more than four minutes.
At ordinary times, George will definitely make a decisive move, step forward, lead the team through the difficulties, and detonate the stands in the konseco stadium.
But today, George hesitated to receive the basketball. Because he saw that link was flapping at himself, which made his pressure rise!
The whole game was suppressed by link, and Paul George''s self-confidence was destroyed.
In the end, George didn''t make the long shot as expected. After link forced up, George had no choice but to give the ball to Stephenson.
When the Pacers needed George the most, he chose to pass the ball, and he recoiled!
In the stands, the walkers, who had just raised their arms to shout, put down their hands, their eyes were desolate, and there was no more sound.
Their only hope has just been extinguished.
"Stevenson got the basketball and he wanted to single Tony Allen. Lance tried to break through the layup directly. It was too simple! Sure enough, Tony cut off the basketball as soon as Stephenson took off and lay up. The Pacers made another mistake. This is their 19th mistake in the game! My God, today''s walkers make a lot of mistakes in the defense of Grizzlies
Reggie Miller''s voice just dropped, Tony Allen assists Conley into a counterattack, the score difference to 16 points!
Conseco stadium is in a dead silence, which prevents the Grizzlies from breaking the final line of 72 win record. Just like the magino line which France claimed to be "never broken" in World War II, it was easily broken by Grizzlies.Off the court, Pacers coach Frank Vogel shook his head helplessly. He couldn''t do anything useful.
When a team''s stars are destroyed, it''s hard to improve the game. The most powerful weapons are gone, what else can you take to fight?
Link, that terrible guy, is doing a lot of "inhuman" things.
Two minutes later, both coaches changed the main lineup. It also means that the expected war ended in garbage time.
Reggie Miller sat in the commentary, his eyes glazed. He didn''t expect the game to be like this. He thought George could at least draw with link.
But in the end, the two figures were 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 mistakes, 28 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
The gap between the two sides can be seen clearly from the data, and even worse from the scene.
"This game was unexpected, Reggie. Before the game, you thought George could make trouble for link, but in fact George didn''t hurt link today! What do you think of it? What caused this result? "
Miller''s commentary partner has already begun to summarize the game in advance, otherwise there is nothing to say to a group of substitute players who are killing time.
Miller was silent for a while and then sighed.
"I can only say... Before the game, we didn''t expect link to be so strong."
The historical third break-up, who had pushed Jordan out of the way and never feared any opponent. However, in 2014, the konseco stadium was conquered by a drop out draft.
In the end, the game ended 107-90. The Grizzlies won a 17 point victory at Conseco stadium, and the Pacers are eager to take a step that the Blazers failed to take. But in the end, they found that they were more than one step away from victory.
Paul George shot only 20% of his shots throughout the game, ranking the bottom of the team. None of the Pacers scored 20, and the highest scorer, David West, scored just 18.
The whole game almost set the tone from the first quarter, since the first quarter, the Pacers have been doing one thing - to chase points.
They have never won a minute''s advantage or lead. In front of the tough Grizzlies, the East first looks extremely weak!
After the game, George hugged link dejectedly and left without saying a word.
Looking at George''s back, link curled his mouth. Was he too cruel today?
A full name idol, people''s hope, but link mercilessly destroyed.
Well... It''s really tough. NBA story, once again with the "villain" victory as the end.
After this game, the Grizzlies have won 63-5. The three most difficult games to play in March, the Pacers have already won two.
People have recognized the fact that even if the Grizzlies lose to the heat tomorrow, they won''t have a big impact on their 72 win goal.
What fans need to do is to wait for the historic moment to come!
They can''t hope any more of link''s opponents, because link destroys hope!
