Paul. George hasn't given up yet, he's still trying to drag the Pacers like a superstar.

Against Iguodala's defence, George made a couple of tentative moves, which he deliberately practiced with Link this summer.

But George's progress is still far less than Link's. The tentative step George did a good job, 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 indeed not easy to get a big man with a height of 2.06 meters to practice dribbling.

So, as soon as George tentatively walked out of the dribble not far away, Iguodala disrupted George's dribbling rhythm.

George didn't concede the ball, but he was stopped outright. Because he had to hold the basketball with both hands to protect it, he was forced to stay where he was.

George began to look for someone to pass the ball, but the Grizzlies' tight defense would not allow George to throw this "hot potato" out easily.

Everyone's passing path was cut off, and George spun helplessly in place under Iguodala's pressure. Seeing that the 24-second offensive time was about to end, the local Indianapolis commentators shook their heads.

"The Grizzlies' defense, maybe the best in the league this year, is one of the best!"

At the referee's hurried whistle, the Pacers' offense ended in failure again. George was frustrated by the fact that he accidentally walked while being pressed close by Iguodala.

He tried hard to carry the team out of the encirclement, but helplessly, his ability was not so strong......

At this time, Link was in the "nine-finger dunk king" Gerald. Under Green's defense, he hit a quick stop shot and scored his 25th point of the game. The Indiana Pacers, on the other hand, trailed the Grizzlies by 22 points with 58 seconds left in the third quarter.

After that goal, Pacers coach Frank Brown. Vogel called a timeout. Stevens high-fived all the players who came off the court, and then ordered all the substitutes to remove their training uniforms.

With a 22-point lead in the third quarter, the referee's whistle just now seemed to be a signal for the Grizzlies to clock out in the third quarter.

"There's a full quarter left in the game, but it's basically over. Link in Gerald. Green's shot over the head turned the margin into 22 points. We all know that the Grizzlies' defense is impregnable, while the Pacers' offense is underwhelming. Therefore, this 22-point gap is almost insurmountable for the Pacers. ”

Before the game, Stephenson said he would let Link burn at the Bankers Life Arena....... Now it seems that Link did burn. But because the temperature was too high, it was Stephenson who was burned to slag first. His performance in the second quarter was nothing short of a disaster, and there was no doubt that he hastened the Pacers' death. ”

Accompanied by the narrator's commentary, the live camera gave a close-up of Stephenson sitting on the bench. I saw Stephenson's eyes glazed over, and he didn't know where he was looking. This is a stark contrast to his bright eyes yesterday.

Although he didn't know what Stephenson was thinking, his face was full of frustration.

This unruly Indiana eagle is also tamed as a pet today.

The fourth quarter of the game, in the eyes of the Grizzlies, was complete garbage time. But in the eyes of the Pacers, it seems that everything is still turning around.

It's a pity, Tony. Allen used his tough defense to make George still unable to kill in the fourth quarter. And "Twitch" Nick. How Yang shot and how he shot today, so that the Pacers completely gave up resistance 3 minutes before the end of the game!

118-96, the Pacers finally lost by 22 points at home!

At the end of the game, Paul. George walked towards Link dejectedly. The new star in the No. 24 jersey actually performed very well today, with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and by the way, he also handed out 2 steals and 1 block, showing a very versatile performance.

It's a pity that Link got better statistics than him in three quarters. 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, just as Link thought, the current George is still a weakened version of himself.

In Iguodala and Tony. Under Allen's continuous destruction, George was unable to help the Pacers turn the tables on his own.

"The gap between us seems to be getting wider, Link." George smiled wryly, then hugged Link.

Three years ago, he was a top name at the University of Fresno, and Link was a blue-collar senior. Three years ago, he was selected for the lottery show, but Link was unexpectedly unselected.

But now, when Link has become a well-deserved All-Star, George is still struggling. This huge gap made George very hurt.

"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 it yourself?" Link patted George on the back, "You've improved a lot this summer. We'll be training together again next summer. I know you can get better, and your team knows it. But if you give up in advance, it's all gone. ”

George curled the corners of his mouth slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "That's right, I'm still training with you this summer." You guys played well today...... Hopefully, when we meet again, we'll cause you some trouble. ”

"Alright, don't be discouraged. Your idol is Kobe, but Kobe's data in the third grade is not much better than yours. Pack up, I'll get together tonight. ”

After a few words with Link, George puffed up his chest again.

What technology does George have now? You can figure it out with a snap of your fingers.

Running without the ball, catching and shooting or cutting in the air, blocking and dismantling to find gaps, and occasionally when there is no one on the defensive counterattack, he sends a 36-level frame dunk to show off his outstanding physical talent.

To put it bluntly, George has little ability to hold the ball, although he is 2.06 meters tall, his back playing skills are not outstanding.

In the future, George still has a lot of room for improvement. He's actually quite strong, it's just that Link's own speed of progress is a little abnormal......

Seeing George off, Link was immediately surrounded by reporters. Before the reporters could speak, Link could guess what questions they would ask.

"Today, I know Lance. Who is Stephenson. However, he doesn't seem to be as good as you advertise. Link took the initiative and took the lead in "rushing to answer", which made the reporters stunned in place.

While the reporters were stunned, Link flashed out of the "encirclement".

On the other hand, Stephenson was not so lucky.

"Regrets? I don't regret what I said. Today was just an accident, there are accidents in every game. Stephenson's answer to the question "Do you regret provoking Link" is still very tough.

"Even if your hilarious mistake today can be cut into a collection, won't you regret it?"

Finson: "......"

"You were completely clean sheets by Link in the second and third quarters, and even then you don't regret it?"

Finson: "......"

"Even if you ....... Huh? ”

Before the reporters could finish their questions, Stephenson was replaced by Larry. Bird dragged him away. Presumably, tonight, Stephenson should have racked his brains again to figure out how to write a pledge titled "I will never lose my cool again."

After the game that night, Link reunited with old friends in George's two-story cottage.

These two college friends, chatting about the past and expectations for the future, spent the last minute of 2012.
