No one expected the Pacers to complete their first offense in such a flashy way. From Leonard's volleyball cap to Paul and George's back-to-back dunks, every aspect of this counterattack was perfect.

And at this time on the court, every point of the Pacers can almost be said to be a strong point!

Paul and George naturally needless to say, Leonard compared to Danny, who started last season. Green, the ceiling is higher. And West and Horford, the two low-key All-Star interior lines, are not fuel-efficient lamps.

The Pelicans' lineup is indeed talented, but the Pacers' lineup is no longer the word talented.

Holiday missed his first attack, leaving him a little intimidated. So the second time the Pelicans attacked, Holiday didn't try to finish, but tried to make the ball to his teammates. This time, he took advantage of the breakaway to get the ball to Anthony. Davis hand. Davis dribbled a shot and then used his footwork advantage to dribble past West.

About Anthony. Davis, Henson admits he's a super-giant embryo with too much talent to make your mouth water. But Davis is not yet fully formed, and it is not difficult to restrain him.

Davis had just broken through West, only to find that Horford had already raised his arms and waited for him to throw himself into the net. In order to avoid being fouled offensively, Anthony . Davis had to slow down. But a slowdown, David. West wrapped it up again. The first time Davis held the ball, he "enjoyed" the treatment of being trapped.

"It seems that Coach Henson's strategy is very clear, and he wants to open the game against Anthony Henson. Davis implements a wrap-and-wrap strategy. And the two old partners, Horford and West, also turned Henson's strategy into reality very smoothly. ”

Mike. Brin could have spoken lightly from the commentary platform, but at this time Anthony was caught in the bag. Davis, however, was a little impatient.

Davis has only played 64 games in the NBA, and even the most talented will inevitably pay for that lack of experience.

Caught between the two elders, Davis was in a hurry and caught a glimpse of Eric, who had run out of a gap. Gordon, and then passed the ball in a hurry.

But this ball actually does not have the conditions for passing at all, after all, the 2.06-meter Paul. George, the defensive range is much larger than the normal No. 2 position!

Davis' pass didn't end up in Gordon's hands, and instead only contributed a steal stat for George.

After getting the basketball, George noticed that Leonard had started to run wildly to the frontcourt. What about Aminu? It's embarrassing, he can't seem to catch up with Leonard.

Al Farouk. Aminu is indeed a rather awkward player, as an inside handlebar, a little short, and also has no tonnage. As an outside line, it's a little slow, and it won't shoot far...... The reason why he can survive in the NBA is entirely because his defense is not bad and he has a good attitude.

But if you want to let Aminu chase Leonard who is running at high speed, it is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man.

George made a long pass and assisted Leonard to dunk with both hands. With two beautiful dunks in a row, the game has just begun, and the Pelicans' morale has already hit rock bottom.

In the face of the Pacers' quick counterattack, the Pelicans had no means of containment at all.

"Be careful not to make mistakes, don't be impatient! Let's play slowly, the game is still long! "Pelicans coach Monty. Williams shouted anxiously from the sidelines, but he clearly didn't have the ability of Henson to reassure his players just by stepping to the sidelines. Because in the next round, the Pelicans made another mistake!

A cover given by Aminu to Holiday did not get Holiday away from Paul, but rather allowed Holiday to get entangled with Leonard.

Just when Holiday was still hesitating whether to mismatch the pass to Aminu or break through on his own, Leonard's fast hand poked out without saying anything.

Last season, Leonard performed a picture of a point guard on more than one occasion. This season, Holiday became the first victim of the perverted defender.

Leon's long arm stabbed and Holiday lost control of the basketball. Before Holiday could react, Leonard fell directly to the ground and pounced on the ball.

On the floor, Leonard handed the ball to Paul. This time, Eric . Gordon reacted quickly and kept stuck on Paul's right side and didn't let him go to the basket easily.

However, Paul took the basketball around his waist, switched the ball to his left hand, and hit an easy layup. This kind of defense can't cause problems for Paul.

"6-0, since the start of the game, the Pelicans have not been able to defend successfully, they can't even drag the defending champions into a positional battle! Holiday has to play smart, the Pelicans' offense is a mess right now! ”

No need for Mike. Henson could also see Holiday struggling, Brin said. In fact, when Holiday was still playing for the Pacers, Henson discovered that the guy was actually better suited to play the No. 2 position. It's just that the Pacers didn't have a suitable No. 1 spot on the team at that time, so Henson put Holiday in the No. 1 spot.

Today's game clearly exposed Holiday 's problems in the No. 1 position. Even at his best, Holiday had two big drawbacks, one being that turnovers were on the rise with assists, and last season he had the 23rd turnover rate out of 82 point guards. Second, as an organizer, the ability to score points through high cost performance is limited.

If you pair Holiday with a backline partner like Rondo or Rubio, Holiday will definitely play well. Because he doesn't have to take care of the organization anymore, he just needs to focus on how to get points. But to partner Holiday with an Eric. Gordon...... Well, it looks like both of these guys are two-way guards. But in fact, it is difficult for two two-way defenders to get a result of 1+1=2.

If Henson is still coaching Holiday , he will try to get Holiday to play the number two position. But Monty. Williams, it seems, doesn't seem to think so.

In the following games, Holiday still struggled with Paul's close defense and the Pacers' superb defense. It seems that this "trip home" of Holiday does not seem to be very pleasant.

It is precisely because of the containment of the playmaking point that the Pelicans have not been able to play a smooth offense. And the mistakes in the previous rounds made them timid.

In this way, the game lasted until 8 minutes, during which Monty . Williams called a timeout and made adjustments, but it didn't work. And Henson, on the other hand, still didn't even leave the bench. He even learned from Popovich and made Becky. Harmon, the assistant coach, went out to set up the game during the timeout......

Many foreign reporters really want to beat up this arrogant guy, but they can't help it, he really has arrogant capital.

This feeling of hating you and not being able to get rid of you is the most abrasive.

It wasn't until this timeout in the eighth minute of the first quarter that Henson finally took matters into his own hands. Because of this timeout, he needs to arrange some rotation players on the court. And how the Pacers' lineup rotates has always been Henson's final say.

After the timeout, Tyrek, who had played a highlight for the Kings, was a highlight-reel player. Evans shines. This season, his role is considered an important sixth man for the Pelicans and an important point for the Pelicans as a bench scorer.

And the Pacers side...... Stephenson, Jimmy. Butler and Danny. Green also came out on the court, and compared to them, the Pelicans' rotation roster seemed a little pitiful.

And don't forget, on the Pacers bench, there is also Ray . Aaron and Livingston are two spearheads. As long as Henson wants, he has a myriad of combinations to transition the rotation time. Oh, and there's a young Antetokounmpo. This bench lineup for the Pacers...... It's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Monty. Williams was going to use Evans as the sixth man to turn back the situation, but Evans came up with the first offense, and Jimmy. Butler loses in heads-up.

Jimmy. Butler was a water cooler manager in his rookie season and was known last season. This season, Henson believes to be the one who is Jimmy. A season of Butler's take-off.

Sure enough, after a perfect defense, Jimmy. Butler raised his hand for the ball like a star in the game.

Stephenson was not selfish and took the ball across the half court and let Jimmy. Butler got his wish and got the chance to play alone with the ball.

Butler dummy a shot with a triple threat step, then suddenly dribble to accelerate! In the confrontation with Evans, Jimmy. Butler was not left behind. The strong guard forced into the basket and made a rebound.

Two heads-ups in a row, one defense and one offense, Jimmy. Butler won both. The Pelicans' most important rotation scorer was crushed as soon as he came up.

And Jimmy. Butler's goal made the Pelicans officially trail by double digits. Spike. Li shook his head, although the 12-minute game in the first quarter had not yet been played, the difference in strength between the two sides was already very obvious.

People say the Pelicans are talented this season, but that's about it. Because being talented doesn't mean you're going to win.

Do you see anyone would describe a walker as talented? No. Because, the Pacers don't need such adjectives to reflect their strength. And the Pelicans have a somewhat strong feeling of being strong on the outside.

"Becky, come and rest for a while." At this moment, Henson beckoned to Becky, who was standing on the sidelines. Harmon came over and sat down for a while.

"No Henson, I'm not tired." Becky. Harmon hasn't had enough of this coaching addiction, so he wants to go back.

"No, I know you're not tired. It's me, my ass is sitting a little sore. ”

After the game, when Spike. When Lee returned to the hotel to sort out the recording and heard Henson's words, the black director almost burst out laughing at his dinner.

In the end, the black director decided that it was better not to put this sentence in the movie. Otherwise, it would be too bad for other coaches......
