It's not an exaggeration to say that the Indiana Pacers are the worst team to mess with so far this season.

So far, the Pacers are still undefeated. The Grizzlies, the defending champions, deserve to do just that. But as a dark horse from last season, this season is still strong, which can inevitably make people feel tough.

Seven games, seven wins, George also put on seven superstar performances.

In the opening game against the Magic, George had 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, continuing his superstar form from the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

In the second game against the Hornets, George had 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and was still unstoppable.

Until the last game, against the Nets, which have the big five of Deron, Johnson, Pierce, Garnett and Lopez, George still performed well, he scored 24 points on the head of "Truth" Pierce, and the shooting rate was as high as 60%, and easily led the team to win.

Paul. George signed a contract extension with the Pacers this summer, which shows that the Pacers want to build a team with George as the core.

During the time he first signed the contract, George also heard some doubts. But right now, no one is going to question the Pacers' decision.

In seven games, George proved that the tall and long-arm No. 24 was not a flash in the pan last season's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals.

So far, no one has been able to cause trouble for George. Until now, Grizzly and Link are coming.

Larry. Bird waited early in the luxury box for the game to begin, and today, the Bankers' Living Arena was bustling with activity. Early in the morning, there were already countless news trucks working outside the stadium.

When the fans entered the stadium in the afternoon, the air was still full of helicopters on aerial photography missions.

Link vs. George, Pacers vs. Grizzlies. So far this season, the meeting between two of the best performers and the two best teams has whetted the appetite of the fans.

Both the Grizzlies and Pacers are now undefeated, with a six-game winning streak and a seven-game winning streak. Which of these two teams can maintain their unbeaten golden body has also become one of the highlights of the game.

So today's game has made the Bankers' Life Arena extremely lively. Its formation is not inferior to last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

Bird shook the glass in his hand and looked at the scene in front of him, quite proud. He decided to take Paul. George's time received a lot of criticism. But looking at the present, it turns out that he was not wrong.

The only thing Bird regrets now is why he didn't bring George's undrafted friends with him in the first place.

Think about it, George and Link play together...... It's not too pretty.

"Big Bird" shook his head, no more thoughts. There is no ifs in the world of the NBA, and if Link and George miss the opportunity to be teammates in the NBA, they risk missing out forever.

Now, Bird needs to see how far George can go against Link's top opponent.

In the Eastern Conference Finals last season, George almost overturned James and almost broke the Heat's dominance of the East. So how far can George go in the face of the same top-level Link?

Bird found that he hadn't looked forward to a game in a long time.

On the pitch, Link walked at the front of the team and led his teammates to warm up.

For the past three seasons, Link has liked to come out last on the line. But now, as the undisputed leader of the Grizzlies, Link is generally the first to break out of the player tunnel.

As soon as Link stepped onto the court, a deafening shout poured into his cochlea. But the most shocking thing was not the violent cheers, but the endless corn yellow in Link's eyes as soon as he stepped onto the court.

The stands of the entire stadium seem to have turned into cornfields.

"Damn, are you going to play the playoffs? Such a big formation! Link stood in the middle of the pitch and looked around.

It's arguably the worst team in the league to mess with, and fans can dress uniformly just because of a regular season game.

Can't be provoked, can't be provoked.

"Welcome to my paradise, Link!"

As Link looked around the stands, George walked over to Link with a smile and his hands outstretched.

This scene suddenly reminded Link of Leonardo's charming smile when he first appeared in his family's mansion in the movie "The Great Gatsby".

At this time, George seems to be the owner waiting for Link to come in the "mansion".

"You're unstoppable this season, man." Link said, hugging George.

"You're also very hard to mess with, Link, you've been selected as the top ten bad to mess with, hahahaha!"

"Hey, don't mention that, I don't even know what I did to be put on that list. Hey, you're not going to want to win eight in a row today, are you? If you see it, you will accept it, George, seven consecutive wins are almost over. As soon as Link's words changed, the two good friends instantly turned to each other.

"Don't worry Link, I'll give you a decent game. Unfortunately, I missed the finals last season. But that's okay, I'll make it up for you now! ”

Link nodded, and after a light fist exchange with George, he returned to his own half.

Today, Link is no longer a fool, he seems very serious. Now Paul. George and Draymond. Green, or even Davis a little before him, is not at a level.

Paul. George narrowly missed James last season, and after training with Link this summer, George has evolved again.

Therefore, the current George is no longer the George who can only silently bless Link.

Now George has also joined this game of competing for honor! It's no exaggeration to say that George is the first strong enemy Link has encountered this year!

After the warm-up, the game started quickly. The starters of the Pacers and Grizzlies are surprisingly similar in construction and both are very traditional.

The Grizzlies have Gasol, and the Pacers have Hibbert as a defensive high.

The Grizzlies have Randolph and the Pacers have David. West, the fourth position that is stronger in offense than in defense.

The Grizzlies have Iguodala and the Pacers can do anything Stephenson.

The Grizzlies have Conley, and the Pacers have George, who was born in the Spurs. Hill.

Of course, the most similar thing is that they are all centered around the number three player. And George and Link both graduated from the same university.

In this game, it was as if the two sides were wrestling with their own shadows.

Against opponents with a very similar style and set-up, the game is usually quite intense.

After the official start of the game, "Black Yao Ming" Roy. Hibbert took the lead in basketball for the Pacers.

In an age when big centers are becoming increasingly scarce, Gasol has rarely seen a taller interior lineman than himself.

So see Roy. Hibbert, Gasol is still a little uncomfortable.

Hibbert played very well in the playoffs last season, averaging 17 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, as if the era of big centers was resurrected. It is precisely because of him that the Heat are in a bitter battle.

But so far this year's regular season, Hibbert's stats have tended to be mediocre again. It seems that only against a team like the Heat with a weak interior can Hibbert play his part.

Therefore, the Pacers opened the first offense, George. Hill didn't look for Hibbert, he looked for Paul. George!

As soon as George received the basketball on the right side outside the three-point line, Link went sideways.

In this game, Jogger asked Link to defend George himself, because George was too dangerous. Defensively, Link is no worse than Iguodala right now. So when it comes to super scorers, Link is Jogle's go-to defender.

In the stands, the "cornfield" immediately churned. Fans didn't expect that the showdown between Link and George would be staged directly in the first round.

George is now completely devoid of the charming smile he had just now, and he is carefully observing Link's defensive focus!

Link pouted, this is tricky! After training together for so long this summer, everyone knows each other too well, and George won't rush it.

After George made two tentative steps with the ball, seeing that Link was unmoved, he reached out and called for the pick-and-roll. Seeing this, West immediately moved to Link's side.

However, in the next second, George broke through to the side without cover, fake cover!

Link struggled to keep up, but George's speed wasn't up to scratch. As a tall No. 3 with a height of 2.06 meters, George's speed is very fast.

Link didn't go all out to pull back, he was watching out for George's pull-up jumper. As everyone knows, George did not choose to score in an easy way, but suddenly accelerated with a variation, erasing Link and killing the basket!

In the face of Gasol's defense, George was not in a hurry, he slipped over the bottom line, walked to the other side of the basket, and suddenly jumped up and came to a big loop dunk!

"Straight dunk!? Paul. George crossed Link and Gasol at the same time, and it was incredible! Today, the Pacers are planning to fight the Grizzlies to the end! ”

With the loud bang of the hoops, the dome of the entire Bankers' Living Arena seemed to be about to be torn off.

Link shook his head, he just hesitated, George rushed in and dunked, that guy really wasn't joking now.

After the dunk landed, George snapped a finger at Link to indicate that he was now leading 1-0.

It looks like Link won't be at peace all night.
