The Pacers once again organized their offense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This game was the first game of the playoffs, and while no one was looking favorably on them, they couldn't afford to give up on themselves.

Teague receives the ball, takes it across the halfcourt, dribbles slightly sideways, covers the basketball, and waits for his teammates to get in position and pull the defense away.

Seeing Paul George asking for the ball, Brooks immediately stepped forward to cover and block Xiao Ran's side, giving Paul George space to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, Paul George glanced at Xiao Ran's position, and after finding that he could not pose a threat to himself for a short time, he quickly ran inside with the ball.

Mindray, the on-site commentator on the sidelines, said with a smile: "Paul George took the opportunity well, Brooks covered, stopped Xiao Ran, so that Paul George could attack with confidence, and he was really an old teammate, and the cooperation between them was really perfect." ”

Another Myers laughed, "That's right, as long as Paul George is given a chance to run, the Nets' defensive pressure will be very high." ”

After saying a few words, the two suddenly screamed in horror.

As the screams rang out, a big hand appeared on the side of the basketball that Paul George had just thrown under the basket.

"Smack!"

A crisp voice followed.

Caps!

Paul George's first shot was blocked, and the person who covered him was none other than Xiao Ran!

At this moment, Paul George's face was full of shock, he had seen it just now, Xiao Ran was still far from his position!

How the hell did he get to him?

In fact, Paul George is too confident, in terms of speed, even Brooks has to bow down, Xiao Ran dodged Brooks's defense, the pace immediately started, and in a few seconds came to the basket, jumped quickly, and gave Paul George a block directly from the back!

Two years ago, the Pacers were still a super team, and in 13-14 years, the NBA championship was taken away by the Spurs, completing a strong revenge.

But this year, there is also a strong team in the East, that is, the Pacers led by George, which year the Pacers had a net score of 274, ranking first in the league, and the Pacers' starting five Tigers, Paul George, George Hill, Stephen Sen, Hibbert, West.

The Pacers and Heat battled smoothly in this configuration and ultimately lost the game.

That year, though, Pacers fans saw hope, but the momentum didn't last long, and the Pacers fell apart after the peak.

Today's Pacers, only George is left in the starting five Tigers, George was injured in the previous game, which made fans think that George might say goodbye to the NBA arena, after all, that injury is enough to ruin an athlete, even if he recovers well, I am afraid that he will have to be protected by external forces, George still chose to make a comeback, although he could not adapt to the rhythm of the game at first, he slowly recovered quickly, and many games got 30+.

Hill was cultivated as the future of the Spurs, but the Spurs needed better defense, and exchanged him for Leonard, Hill and George's partnership is very good, despite the impact of injuries, Hill can still hand over good data, once thought that Hill would create brilliance with George, in 2016, the three-way trade of the Pacers, Hawks and Jazz made Hill go to the Jazz, Hill can now better connect the team, and he and the Spurs' former teammate Dio worked together in the Jazz, I don't know if Dio will tell Hill the story after he leaves, Dio will make some coffee for Hill, and tell Spurs interesting stories。

David West, his interior combination with Roy Hibbert is a big part of why the Pacers have been able to rise on the Eastern Conference.

In 2014-15, West averaged a career-low 11.7 points per game, and West missed the first 15 games of the season.

On June 25, 2015, David West opted out of his contract, waiving his final year of $12.6 million to become a free agent.

On July 7, 2015, David West joined the San Antonio Spurs on a $1.4 million veteran base salary.

On July 6, 2016, David West signed a contract with the Golden State Warriors.

For the championship, West will need to give more.

Hibbert's experience has to be said to be somewhat tragic, Hibbert is a top-tier rim protector who will inexplicably disappear from the game, poor finishing ability, loves hook shots and jump shots but is not accurate, rebounds are not good, and can block without fouling.

But in the trade between the Pacers and the Lakers, the Lakers only sent a second-round pick to get Hibbert.

On July 5, 2016, the Charlotte Hornets and Hibbert reached a one-year contract worth $5 million.

Recently, the Bucks and Hornets are close to a deal, and the Bucks will send center Miles Plumlee in exchange for two interior linemen, Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes.

It can be seen that Hibbert is declining, and he has been plagued by injuries this season, averaging 5.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, both career lows.

The worst of all was Stephenson, who left the Pacers and signed Lance Stephenson on July 16, 2014.

On June 16, 2015, the Los Angeles Clippers made a deal with the Hornets to send Matt Barnes and Spencer Hawes to Lance Stephenson.

On February 19, 2016, the Memphis Grizzlies sent Jeff Green in a trade from the Clippers for Lance Stephenson and a 2019 first-round pick protected by at least the lottery.

On June 28, 2016, the Grizzlies waived Stephenson, who became a free agent.

On September 10, 2016, the New Orleans Pelicans and Stephenson reached an agreement to sign.

On September 14, the two parties officially signed a contract for one year worth $1.23 million.

On November 7, 2016, the Pelicans cut Lance Stephenson.

In the 2013-14 playoffs, in the series between the Pacers and the Heat, with 3:39 left in the third quarter of Game 2, Stephenson fell while chasing LeBron James, and then made a very exaggerated motion to pass out, and the referee on duty ignored his actions. ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy described him as a "natural actor."

In the fifth game, Stephenson staged all kinds of funny things again, even blowing in James' ears while defending him, and even Pacers president Bird admitted that he was annoyed by Stephenson.

Now that Stephenson is no ball to play, the Cavaliers are trying out free agents on a large scale, and Stephenson is among them, and he will compete with James' former teammate Chalmers for that spot.

And James said that there is no personal grudge, and the team will support whatever it is.

Some netizens commented that it seems that James needs someone to blow in his ear.

Today's Pacers Five Tigers have only George left, which makes people sigh, West is still tossing and turning for the championship, Hibbert and Stephenson are close to no ball to play, Hill can still mix well in the Jazz, the five Tigers were full of spirit back then, and joined forces to send the Pacers to new heights, I wonder if the Pacers can recall their helpers and assist George again?
