Chapter 667: The first appearance

On February 23, the Pacers returned to home, Kevin Garnett made his debut in the team, and the opponent was the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors are still dying in the league, but before and after the All-Star game, they lost slightly more and less.
But this does not affect the Warriors firmly occupy the league's first position.
The games they won were still easy, and they were all big wins of around 20 points.
Their system is unique in the league, and many people did not expect that basketball can still play like this.
In the case that the entire NBA tactics are tending to "infinite pick-and-roll", Cole raised the banner of pass.
This kind of tactical play makes many teams unsuitable, plus the Warriors' perverted three-point accuracy, many teams have surrendered early.
At present, there is no one in the West with the Pacers, and the Cavaliers and Pacers are left in the East.
Among them, when the Pacers traded to Kevin Garnett, people's expectations for the Pacers further increased.
But Bird knew that if the team pinned their hopes on a 39-year-old veteran, even if he was Garnett, it would be unrealistic.
Of course, the significance of Garnett's arrival is still very important. He not only filled the vacancy inside the team, but also made the team's lineup have more changes.
Li Liang can now return to the position of small forward, allowing Garnett to play power forward.
However, the match does not need to be, Li Liang still appeared as the 4th position, he is to deal with the person is Draymond-Green.
As night fell in Indianapolis, the Conseco Arena tonight was undoubtedly full.
The addition of Garnett has increased the fare of the Pacers.
Tonight's pre-match ceremony was particularly grand, and a short promotional video shot after Garnett came to the Pacers was played on the big screen at the scene.
Garnett is indeed very popular, and this is also respect for a veteran who is about to retire.
Everyone knows that Garnett will only stay in the Pacers for half a season, but their goal is to win, so everyone is united and does not care what will happen in the future.
After all, Li Liang is probably not going to stay long with the Pacers, just leave him alone.
Now just over half of the season, fans from all over the world have begun to "recruit" Li Liang.
For example, when I went to Philadelphia the day before yesterday, local fans put up signs, hoping that Li Liang would come to the 76ers next season.
Li Liang's style of shooting one place for another place gave hope to fans everywhere.
However, Li Liang's style is still very chicken thief, like some teams destined to rotten for many years, he did not want to go.
To go is to go to a team that has a strong foundation in itself, or where the management is reliable.
Therefore, the teams still have to take a mirror to take care of themselves. If it is too bad, black technology will not save them.
Tonight the Pacers' game against the Warriors should be said to attract a lot of attention.
However, it is a pity that Curry was absent from the game because he felt a sore ankle.
Curry's injury problems have been serious in the past few seasons, and he has missed many games, which also led to him signing a very cheap contract.
As a result, Curry broke out this season, and so far there have been no major injuries.
Once there is a small problem, the team immediately asked Curry to rest, small injuries to raise, to prevent problems.
And the opponent is a Pacer, in case it can't be beaten, there is a reason why it can't be beat.
The Pacers haven't changed. McGee is still the center, Li Liang on the 4th.
On the Warriors side, Livingston replaced Curry, and the Warriors center has stabilized into big mouth Bogut.
Without Curry, the Warriors' three-point pressure on the outside line came to Thompson.
The opening warriors succeeded in jumping the ball, Livingston picked up a mid-range jumper after picking up and scored the first point.
Curry is not there, the entire Warriors tactical system has changed.
Passing tactics requires enough space, and Curry needs to use his appeal to create opportunities for his teammates.
An important reason why the traditional academic tactics, such as pass and cut, are gradually abandoned in the NBA, is that the stadium is "smaller and smaller."
The so-called getting smaller and smaller is not to say that the venue has become smaller, but the players are getting bigger and bigger, faster and faster, more explosive, stronger and stronger confrontation, and shorter and shorter attack time. .
In the early professional basketball and NCAA college basketball, players can also obtain opportunities by fully running positions, winding around, empty cutting, and running back.
Because the players' physical fitness is generally average, the university's offensive time is also more ample, and the tactics have a lot of room to play.
In the current NBA, you may run for a long time, pass it and cut it, it is not as effective as the two players throwing a chance to pick and drop, because your running position is under the squeeze of high-intensity defense, it is difficult to run out of vacancies. of.
The Warriors subverted this because of the existence of Curry and Thompson.
Now that Curry is gone, the Warriors' pass cut has collapsed, and it's basically impossible to fight.
After Livingston hit the distance in the opening, Li Liang midfielder blocked the pass of Hill's pass and went down, pushing Green into the basket and causing Green's foul.
Green felt helpless.
Damn, Bruce Lee is for Lao Tzu.
This game has just started, just a foul pressure, who can eat it?
Li Liang doesn't care. He knows that to deal with people like Green, he must suppress him fiercely from the beginning, give him some color to let him know that this is Laozi's territory, don't be blind with me. Beep show your biceps, then show you your head.
With two free throws, the Pacers quickly opened.
The Warriors felt like another team without Curry, and the tactical style suddenly became particularly "popular."
They tried to quickly transfer the ball and cooperated with the "collision of the wall" in the offensive position. As a result, they made mistakes under the dense defense of the Pacers.
There is no room to pull, and every additional pass increases the risk of mistakes.
This is also where basketball develops to a certain extent and is different from the past. Passing more passes is not necessarily a good thing.
After that, the Warriors reduced the multi-pass attack of the past, and changed to a simpler small team.
Revolve around Klay Thompson's tactical operation, make full use of Thompson's shooting at this point.
Thompson quickly scored 4 points, and the Pacers played steadily, each player gave the opportunity to play a dozen.
Li Liang played, Hill played, JR Smith and Granger also tried to attack with their own ball.
This Byrd's offensive tactical system is estimated to be comparable to Avery Johnson, taking turns in singles tactics.
However, if your players have such abilities, rotating singles is a very efficient scoring method.
Not only is it efficient, but it's also labor-saving. You can put more energy into the defense by playing four games.
Why O'Neal is so powerful, because he gives him the ball when attacking, others can watch, so that everyone has more physical strength, of course, it is easier to win the game.
The two sides quickly reached an 8:8 draw.
At this moment, the Pacers' attack began to have some problems.
The result of everybody's turn to attack the ball is that players with good feelings are not continued, and those with poor feelings come out to give it a try, and the result is even worse...
This is a persistent problem that the Pacers haven't solved until now, that is, the offensive end will be dumb from time to time.
Especially when the outside line suddenly started playing iron~EbookFREE.me~Smith and Fenson, these people feel like they are contagious.
One iron, each iron.
The key is that they are not contagious, such as never shooting good shots from Li Liang.
If you want to infect him, you will be poorly infected.
In contrast, the Warriors seized the Pacers' offensive end of the misfire, and the outside shots continued to miss the gap, constantly launching a quick counterattack.
Klay Thompson took a direct shot when he received the ball in the counterattack, and his three-pointer and middle distance were not weak.
He alone scored 13 points in the first half of the first quarter, helping the Warriors turn the score to 24:12, leading the Pacers by as much as 12 points.
Seeing the bad situation, Bird immediately called a timeout and then adjusted the lineup.
He replaced McGee with Kevin Garnett.
The Wolf King ushered in the first appearance of the Pacers.
