Paul George has not given up, he is still trying to drag the Pacers forward like a superstar.
Faced with Iguodala's defense, George did a few tentative steps, which he deliberately practiced with Link this summer.
But George's rate of improvement is far behind Link. George did the probing step, but as soon as he dribbled the ball, George was "exposed".
Like Durant, a high forward who is good at shooting, George's biggest problem now is that his dribbling skills are not mature enough. After all, it is really not easy to get a big man with a height of 2 meters 06 to practice dribbling.
So, just after George tried to dribble out, Iguodala disrupted George's dribbling rhythm.
Although George didn't lose the ball, he was forced to stop. Because he had to hug the basketball with both hands to protect the ball, he was forced to stay in place.
George started looking for someone to pass the ball, but the Grizzlies' tight defense won't let George throw this "hot potato" easily.
Everyone's passing route was cut off, and George turned helplessly in a circle under Iguodala's defense. Seeing that the 24-second offense was about to end, the local commentators in Indianapolis shook their heads.
"The Grizzlies' defense may be the best in the league this year, none!"
The Pacers’ offense once again ended in failure amidst the referee’s rapid whistle. George accidentally walked while being pressed by Iguodah, which made George very frustrated.
He tried hard to carry the team out of the siege, but he was helpless, his ability was not so strong yet
At this time, under the defense of "Nine-finger Dunk King" Gerald Green, Link made an emergency stop and made a shot and scored his 25th point in the game. The Indiana Pacers were 22 points behind the Grizzlies when the third quarter was about to end with 58 seconds left.
After this goal, Pacers coach Frank Vogel called a timeout. Stevens high-fives all the off-court players and then orders all the substitute players to remove their training uniforms.
Leading by 22 points in three quarters, the referee's whistle just now seemed to be a signal for the Grizzlies to check in in three quarters.
"There is still a whole quarter of the game, but it is basically over. Link's shot on Gerald Green turned the point difference into 22 points. We all know that the Grizzlies' defense is indestructible. , And the Pacers’ offense is not satisfactory. Therefore, this 22-point gap is almost insurmountable for the Pacers."
"Before the game started, Stephenson said he would let Link burn in the Bankers Life Arena. Now it seems that Link did burn. But because the temperature was too high, Stephenson was burned to first. Second. His performance in the festival was a disaster. There is no doubt that he accelerated the death of the Pacers."
Accompanied by the commentator's commentary, the scene shot gave Stephenson sitting on the bench a close-up. I saw Stephenson staring blankly, not knowing where he was looking. This is in sharp contrast to his piercing eyes yesterday.
Although I don't know what Stephenson is thinking, his face is full of frustration.
This unruly Indiana eagle has been tamed into a pet today.
The fourth quarter game, in the Grizzlies' view, is completely garbage time. But in the eyes of the Pacers, everything seems to be turning around.
It's a pity that Tony Allen used his strong defense to make George still unable to kill in the fourth quarter. How did "thumper" Nick Young make some shots today, so that the Pacers completely gave up resistance 3 minutes before the end of the game!
, the Pacers finally lost 22 points at home!
At the end of the game, Paul George walked towards Link dejectedly. This new star in the No. 24 jersey actually performed very well today, with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. By the way, he also sent out 2 steals and 1 block. His performance was very versatile.
It's a pity that Link got better statistics than him in three quarters. 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. As Link thought, George is still a weakened version of himself.
Under the continuous devastation of Iguodala and Tony Allen, George failed to help the Pacers come back on his own.
"Our gap seems to be getting bigger and bigger, Link." George smiled bitterly, then hugged Link.
Three years ago, he was the top card of Fresno University, and Link was a blue-collar senior. Three years ago, he was selected in the lottery, but Link was expected to lose.
But now, when Link has become a well-deserved All-Star player, George is still struggling. This huge gap made George very injured.
"Hey, as long as you don’t give up, it’s not a failure. This is what you told me when I lost the draft. Could it be that you forgot?" Link patted George on the back, "You have improved a lot this summer. Now. Next summer, we will train together again. I know you can get better, and your team knows. But if you give up early, everything is gone."
George raised the corners of his mouth slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yes, I will train with you this summer. You played well today, I hope we can cause you some trouble when we meet again."
"Okay, don't be discouraged. Your idol is Kobe, but Kobe's third grade stats are not much better than yours. Clean up, I will get together tonight."
After a few conversations with Link, George straightened his chest again.
What technology does George have now? It can be calculated by breaking the finger.
Take a shot without the ball or make an empty cut, pick-and-roll to find a gap, and occasionally send a three-hundred-six flat dunk when there is no one on the defensive counterattack, showing off his excellent physical talent.
To put it bluntly, George has no ability to hold the ball. Although he has a height of 2.06 meters, his back hitting skills are not outstanding.
In the future, George has a lot of room for improvement. In fact, he is already very strong, it's just Link's own pace of improvement, which is not normal.
sent George away~EbookFREE.me~ Link was immediately surrounded by reporters. Before the reporters spoke, Link could guess what questions they would ask.
"Today, I know who Lance Stephenson is. However, he doesn't seem to be as powerful as your propaganda." Link took the initiative to "answer", leaving the reporters stunned.
While the reporters were stunned, Link flashed out a "circle".
On the other hand, Stephenson is not so lucky.
"Regret? I don't regret what I said. Today is just an accident, and accidents happen in every game." Stephenson's answer to the question "Do you regret provoking Link" is still very tough.
"Even if your funny mistake can be cut into a collection today, don't you regret it?"
Finsen: ""
"You were completely blocked by Link in the second and third quarters. Even so, don't you regret it?"
Finsen: ""
"Even if you eh?"
Before the reporters had finished asking their questions, Stephenson was dragged away by Larry Bird. Presumably tonight, Stephenson should have racked his brains again about how to write a pledge entitled "I will never lose my calm again."
After the game that night, Link gathered with his old friends in George's second-story cottage.
These two college friends, chatting about the past glory and expectations for the future, spent the last minute of 2012.
