The Pacers are more reliant on Ellis and Paul George for their scoring ability. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But it also pulls out the interior line, and if Jefferson is restricted, the Nets' offense will be unstoppable.

Brooks has poor defensive ability and needs Teague's defense all over the court.

But can Teague really hold on to Xiao Ran?

On the jump ball, Lopez didn't snatch Jefferson, and the game officially began.

The Pacers got the first round of offense.

Teague, as the first point guard, came to the front court and saw that Xiao Ran had found Ellis, which made him slightly disappointed.

As the strongest firepower on the outside, Ellis is defended, so the score on the outside can only rely on Brooks.

However, Brooks' form has declined in recent years and he is not qualified for this position.

After all, he was already a veteran of ten years ago.

Brooks has great speed and versatile ball handling skills, and is able to get past people with feints and dazzling pace.

Outside shooting has a certain stability and shooting confidence, can suddenly jump in the dribble, three-point shooting is a strength.

At his peak, he has a good ability to break through, which makes his mid-range shot more difficult to defend.

Able to defend with excellent speed and stand on the route of the breaker in time.

In the point guard position, Brooks has relatively excellent rebounding ability, he can distribute the ball well to other open players when he breaks inside, and his solid fundamentals and excellent basketball IQ allow him to make decisions on the court.

And he also has excellent free throw ability.

In the fast attack, he can calmly complete the attack.

But Brooks' 5-foot-11" height makes him easy to be beaten by tough opponents, and he can also be easily blocked by opponents when he breaks in.

And he lacks a big picture, can't control the pace of the game well, can't integrate his teammates in the offense, and breaks through to the right, he will pass to the left first, and then change to the right side of the basket.

When attacking the basket, you can't control your breakout.

There are some problems with choosing the timing of the shot.

When defending, he likes to reach out and steal the ball, and he is prone to fouls.

These are all Brooks at their peak, not to mention now, and even these are not guaranteed.

At the start of the game, Brooks looked at Scola on the inside, and a flash of envy flashed in his eyes.

His luck is far less than that of Scola, who is also a teammate of the Rockets, and the relationship between the two is good, but the peak period has passed, and both are facing the possibility of being fired.

Originally, Scola was already on the list of fired, but no one expected that the Nets would exchange Scola with Lin Shuhao, which is really surprising.

And after coming to the Nets, Scola was directly the starter!

In the regular season, he not only managed to start the full game, but also almost got a good average triple-double per game!

It can be said that after Scola came to the Nets, he was completely reborn.

And Brooks is pitiful.

Now he only has a contract of 5 million meters a year, which is already a very cheap contract among NBA players, and in the near future, he will definitely be laid off.

Of course, the best option is to retire yourself!

Although Brooks is envious, this kind of luck is something he can't envy, he knows that Scola is definitely a good assistant on the outside, and he can't bring anything to Xiao Ran on the outside.

The first is offense, Xiao Ran's offensive breakthrough is more powerful than him, and the accuracy of three-point shots, layups, and free throws is higher than him.

The second is defense, Xiao Ran has proven himself after a season of regular season, and among the active players, he is definitely the defensive master in the league!

Monta Ellis knows this very well!

At this time, Ellis did not have the ball in his hand, but Xiao Ran's position had already made him feel painful!

Not only can't he catch the ball, even if he has the opportunity, Xiao Ran has the possibility of doing it at any time.

In the regular season, Ellis has long understood this, and even in the regular season, in the face of Xiao Ran's defense, he sent 13 turnovers in the whole game, scored 11 points, 3 assists, and completed an alternative double-double.

Ellis is the strongest player on the Pacers, and he was voted the most improved player in the 06-07 season!

Ellis's basketball prowess was on display in high school.

In 2005, Monta Ellis was named to the All-Rice High School Team of the Year selection by Nation Today, was named to the All-Rice All-Rice Team of McDonald's, and was named Parade Magazine's High School Player of the Year along with Greg Oden.

In his four-year high school career, Ellis averaged 28.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 3.1 steals per game, while shooting 78 percent from the free-throw line, 46.1 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from three-point range, ranking second in Mississippi all-time scoring with 4,167 points.

In his final year of high school, Ellis averaged 38.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 4.5 steals per game, shooting 80 percent and 46 percent from the free-throw line and 46 percent, and 48 percent from three-point range.

In Lanell High School's win over Greenwood High School, Ellis scored a career-high 72 points.

After graduating from high school, Ellis made a verbal agreement with Mississippi State, but due to his poor academic performance, it would be difficult to win the opportunity to play even in college, so Ellis decided to skip college and go straight to the 2005 NBA Draft.

Monta Ellis caught the eye with his explosive style of play at the beginning of his career, averaging more than 40 minutes per game in two consecutive seasons.

During his time with the Warriors and his tenure, his reckless personality was criticized. After joining the Mavericks, Ellis also made adjustments to adapt to the Mavericks' offensive system: attacking the basket more and making fewer three-point shots.

The change in shot selection freed Ellis from the embarrassment of scoring inefficiency, and more attacking baskets allowed Ellis to increase his free throw opportunities.

Monta Ellis has the speed defensively and his hands are lightning fast, but he lacks height and suffers from a tall number two.

But when it comes to defenders, his defensive ability can be fully reflected.

But such a player, in the face of Xiao Ran's strict defense, it has become a difficult thing for him to even connect the ball!

I have to say that for the championship, for a higher salary, Xiao Ran really did his best!

In the face of Xiao Ran's strict defense, Ellis did not have any chance to get the ball, and finally the basketball was shot by Brooks on the outside, but unfortunately did not score.

On the first offense, the Pacers declared defeat.

When it was the Nets' turn to attack, Xiao Ran took the ball and quickly broke through, and in the blink of an eye, he directly chiseled through the defense of the Pacers!

Among them, Xiao Ran's attack only took four seconds!

The efficiency is far from being comparable to that of the Pacers!
