Just as people expected the Trailblazers two days ago, today, the Pacers also carry the expectations of many people.
"Prevent the Grizzlies from breaking through the last line of defense of 72 wins", this slogan alone is enough to prove the status of this game in the hearts of fans.
Although the Trail Blazers were still one step away from the Grizzlies in the last game, people still have confidence in the Pacers today.
People are thinking that the Pacers might actually be able to step past the bad step.
The reason is simple, the Pacers own Paul George.
Handsome, well-rounded technology, tall and long arms, excellent record... If you want to choose the league's best man besides James and Durant who can cause trouble for Link, then Paul George will undoubtedly be Paul George.
He has almost all the conditions for success. He led the team to the first place in the East. His personal performance is very good and his physical condition is more advantageous than Link. Even that face is like a superstar.
The most important thing is that George had just fought with Link last time. Facts have proved that once the two sides rushed, George would not be easily thrown away.
To block Link and prevent the Grizzlies from breaking the 72-win record, George is the perfect candidate.
"Paul George's performance in the last game was very good. Facing the Chicago Bulls's brown candy-like defensive defense, when his teammates lost the front sight under that tough defense. George used 62.4% of his shots. He scored 33 points to help the Pacers get through the difficulties! He has been in good shape lately and he must be looking forward to this game. Maybe George can really let Link experience the taste of failure today."
Accompanied by Reggie Miller’s commentary, the live camera gave George a close-up.
George also hugged and chatted with Link for a long time before the game today. He is still a good and enthusiastic buddy around Link. But after the game started, George's expression changed.
He became focused, he no longer smiled hippiely, as if he would never give up without taking the victory away.
George stood opposite Link with his arms akimbo, waiting for the kick-off. His confident appearance made the fans even more convinced that this would be a bright night for Pacers No. 24.
With him, maybe the Pacers can really cross that short step!
The referee walked to the middle circle with the ball, and both sides couldn't wait.
The starting lineup of the two sides is the same as the last time they played. The Grizzlies will not easily change the starting lineup, and the Pacers coach Frank Vogel is the same.
Hibbert, West, George, Stephenson and George Hill, the Pacers sent their starting five to overwhelm the Heat.
Bird was right yesterday, the Pacers do have one of the best teams in the league.
The referee threw the basketball into the air, and "Black Yaoming" Hibbert got the first strike for the Pacers by virtue of his height advantage.
Suddenly, the Conseco Arena became full of voices. I don't know, I thought the finals were staged ahead of schedule.
After the Smash Bros. at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Indianapolis, the basketball capital, seems to have completely fallen. Even the legendary Larry Bird cannot save Indiana from the decline.
But the appearance of Paul George changed all of this. The Pacers now seems to be back in the 90s and early 21st century, and the fans here will shout for each of their games. The players will also present wonderful victories for the fans.
Bird in the luxurious box held his chin, his eyes fixed on the court.
If this game is the finals, what will the Pacers do? Bird believes that through this game, he can even see the future of the Pacers!
George Hill did not find George for the first attack after halftime with the ball, but instead called Stephenson.
The Pacers are actually a team that is biased towards team offense. They will not bombard with George as soon as they come up.
Stephenson, who has a streetball background, hits Iguodala and made a one-handed backward protection of the ball.
Again, Stephenson is eager to imitate Jordan. Jordan may be able to pass Iguodala after one-handed protection, but Stephenson can't.
Stephenson's dribble is actually not superb, and the center of gravity is a bit too high. The few strays did not cause trouble to Iguodala, but he was almost intercepted by Iguodala.
In the last match between the two sides, Stephenson also wanted to share the pressure for George. But twice in a row, Stephenson was defended by Iguodala out of temper.
In the end, Stephenson had to hand the ball to George. The protagonist of this game is destined to be the No. 24 from California.
The moment Paul George received the ball, all the fans in the Conseco Arena stood up! George VS Link, this is the essence of this game!
Everyone can't wait to see how George is going to score on Link.
In the last game, George and Link fought an explosive battle. Link'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. To explode, it must be oneself that unilaterally suppresses George!
After George got the ball, he immediately borrowed David West's screen to break through. George is not slow, and the pace is very large. Breaking through after the cover, most people can't keep up with him.
Link also couldn't go around to contain him completely, but he stayed by George's side from beginning to end, trying to give George a strong confrontation.
Seeing George suddenly raise his center of gravity, Link immediately braked and raised his arm to block George's shot!
Sure enough, in the next second, George stopped a jump shot! But to George's surprise, Link didn't even leave him half a step!
Link knows that when George dribbles the center of gravity is very obvious. If he raises his focus ahead of time, it means he is about to shoot!
Although the two have few chances to fight each other in a season, because they train together throughout the summer, George has few secrets in front of Link.
"Damn it!" George's stern face showed a look of panic. He knew that his emergency stop couldn't be too far away from Link, but he didn't expect even a step away!
After George took off, the shooting angle was completely blocked by Link. In desperation, George could only forcefully change from throw to pass in the air!
At this time, everyone in the Pacers agreed that George would take the shot, and was not ready to catch the ball at all.
Hibbert, who was standing at the basket, was ready to grab a rebound, but found that the basketball suddenly flew towards him.
"Black Yao Ming" couldn't react at all. When he reached out to pick it up, the basketball was already flying out of bounds.
There was a sigh in the audience, and the fans who were so excited to stand up cursed and sat back. Who would have thought that George, who was pinned high, would be prevented by Link in the first round?
"Damn it, my fault!" Not to mention the fans, even George himself was disappointed. As soon as he landed, he raised his right hand apologetically and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"George seems to be a little anxious. The ball passed too hastily. It may be because the game has just started and his mentality has not been adjusted. But it doesn't matter, this is only the first round." Reggie Miller shook his head. , Can hardly conceal 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 himself knew that Link's defense just now was perfect!
He accurately anticipated the timing of his emergency stop and immediately blocked his shooting angle. Even if he didn't make a mistake just now, that shot would basically not make a hit.
What a terrible defense!
George shook his head quickly, trying to throw the shadow of failure out of his head.
and Link’s game is like this, he will create frustration for you from time to time. If you are fooled by this, then wait for Link to be hammered today.
The more afraid you are, the more miserable you will be.
George knows that he needs to regroup now, this is not the end of the world. Besides, it is not easy for Link to score goals on him!
In a blink of an eye, the Grizzlies have already attacked. The fans of the Conseco Arena also re-adjusted their mentality and cheered again.
It doesn't matter if you can't make it, just let Link can't make it.
Link received a pass from Conley on the left side of the three-point line, ready to attack. The offense of the Grizzlies can be safely initiated by Link, because in the end it is the offense or the pass, and Link can make the most correct choice.
"Link also holds the ball and prepares to attack, see what trouble George will bring to Link this time!" Reggie Miller geared up. George is not good at playing, and Link is also not good at playing!
Link called the screen after holding the ball, and then said something that made George feel inexplicable.
"Did Durant talk to you on the phone before the game?"
"Huh!?" George was taken aback for a moment, where to follow. What's the matter with Durant in this game.
"It’s fine if you don’t have a phone call."
Link finished, the cover of Gasol was just in place!
Now, only Durant in the league has experienced Link's changes. Now it seems that Durant has not reminded George, then, the offense is simple!
Link accelerated to the side with the cover and quickly broke through. George flexibly bypassed Gasol and quickly moved from side to Link.
On defense, George is also the best defensive team. Moreover, the Pacers are also one of the best defensive teams in the league.
Just when George thought he had blocked Link's breakthrough route, and now he only needed to watch out for Link's shots, Link suddenly changed the direction of his breakthrough!
George's eyes widened, what is going on! ? Lin Keming has already set his focus, how can he change his breakthrough direction in this situation! ?
George was stunned, stunned in place like a wooden stake.
Link passed through the startled George, and slid past Hibbert, who came to block, and made an easy layup.
"What happened!? Why was George suddenly stunned in place!?" On the commentary stage, Reggie Miller's commentary partner spread his hands.
Reggie Miller sat in the seat, with the same expression as George, and did not say a word for a long time.
"Reggie? What did you say just now? Why did George stop suddenly?"
The partner continued to question, but Miller still did not open his mouth.
What did he see just now? Link changed the direction of the breakthrough when he had already lowered his 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 arena, in George's position, facing an elegant man wearing the Pistons' No. 33 jersey, and flew in the same way.
Then, Miller rushed up and hugged the No. 33, and got a technical foul. It was one of the few times that Miller had been so irritated by being played by his opponent.
And just now, Link's movements are almost exactly the same as those of No. 33! George was like Miller back then~EbookFREE.me~ even though he was shaken, he still didn't know what happened.
George was stunned in place like a wooden stake, because he did not react from his brain to his body. Miller was in this state back then. 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 yelled twice, and Miller came back to his senses.
"What happened to the ball just now?"
"Nothing, George will be able to adjust it soon." Miller forced a smile and nodded at his partner. At the same time, the Pacers have also sent a baseline ball, ready to attack for the second time.
However, Miller said that because he didn't want to cause panic.
What he really wanted to answer to his partner just now was, "No, George is in big trouble!"
Judging from George's reaction, Miller speculated that he hadn't seen Link use that trick before. In other words, he is as helpless now as he was in 1998.
Link still knows George, but George's understanding of Link has gone wrong. Miller pouted, he wished it was just an accident.
