People say that the Pacers vs. Warriors game is a preview of this season's Finals.

But in Henson's view, the showdown with the Spurs can also be called a preview of the finals. Can the Warriors 100 percent crush the Spurs? Henson doesn't think so. Spurs should not be underestimated at any time.

Thanks to Tim. Duncan's retirement, and the "GDP" that has dominated the league for more than ten years has finally come to an end. But the Spurs have long been ready for Duncan's retirement, and Aldridge and Leonard have seamlessly linked up to carry the Spurs' banner from GDP.

Although the Spurs are very different from the Spurs that met the Pacers twice in the Finals, as long as it is Popovich's team, the strength will not be weak.

Opening, Brooke. Lopez started with Spurs center Dwyan. Dedmon got a basketball over his head. Thanks to Paul. Gasol was injured, and Popovich had to start with the little transparent top that had drifted around the Warriors, 76ers and Magic.

However, just like Henson, Popovich also has the ability to bring players back to life. At the Spurs, there has been more than one role player playing great, and Dedmon is no exception.

In the last game against the Pistons, Dedmon played 32 minutes and recorded a big double-double of 17 points and 17 rebounds. In the last game against the 76ers, Dedmon also had 10 points and 12 rebounds.

The Spurs' roster may not look so luxurious, but in fact, it is all hidden killers.

The Pacers attacked for the first time, and Leonard used his slender arms and agile defensive reflexes to interfere with George's mid-range shot. Seeing Leonard's near-perfect defense, Henson secretly felt pity to himself.

Leonard has now grown into an offensive and defensive superstar, and his quality has reached the top of the league. is far from the superstar ranks, and it is just a few honors.

He was not wrong at the beginning, this taciturn little guy who broke out in silence really has an unfathomable ceiling. Other teams didn't have the confidence to tune Leonard well, but Henson did.

It's just cheaper that "old thief" from Popovich, who picked up ready-made ones by him.

"The Pacers' first offense was stopped by Leonard. Butler, Leonard is an even greater threat to his old club. "On the podium, Reggie. Miller made a joke.

But if you think about it, George, Jimmy. Butler, Leonard, and Antetokounmpo all play on the same team...... It's shocking indeed, and it's no surprise that the Pacers can win three consecutive championships.

Dedmon used his bounce speed and bounce height to protect defensive rebounds over Lopez's head, and he could be one of the Spurs' few athletic interior players.

Think of Split, Matt. Bonner and others have nothing to do with athletic ability.

Tony. Parker held the ball across the halfcourt, and it was clear that the Spurs were no longer playing in that slow and leisurely style.

Compared to other teams in the league, the Spurs are indeed slow. But compared to that year, Spurs have been a lot faster. Three-point shooting and high-pitch shots have become increasingly popular, and even the traditional Spurs can't reverse the changes that the small-ball era has brought to the league.

Tony. Parker's stats this season all prove one thing - even Parker, the youngest in GDP, is no match for the ravages of time.

He averaged 10.1 points per game, a career-low point. He averaged 4.5 assists per game, a career low since his rookie season. He averaged just 25.2 minutes per game, which was also a career low.

When the 35-year-old French sports car raced across the floor of the ATT Center, he couldn't make the instantaneous acceleration that he did back then. But as a player who has always relied on his brain, Parker's organization is still calm.

Moreover, there is no No. 1 position who understands Popovich's system better than him.

So, although the statistics are not pretty, Parker still manages the Spurs' offense in an orderly manner. Sometimes, the quality of a point guard is not reflected by the data.

Eventually, after a series of complex runs and conductions directed by Parker, the basketball was hit into Leonard's hands. Leonard burst into possession of the ball, and by the time Dedmon had set up a cover for him.

George was delayed by Dedmon, and although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Leonard, who had a huge pace span, to shake George away.

"Leonard and Dedmon cover very well, this is the San Antonio Spurs, every one of their players on the field, is a key component!"

Lopez had to keep an eye on Dedmon, who had the ability to shoot from mid-range, and there was still a position between George and Leonard. It looks like the Pacers' interior has been emptied, and Leonard will have an easy time scoring.

After stepping into the box, Leonard lifted his basketball and leaped high. This silent man looks unthreatening, but in fact he is murderous! As soon as he opened, he was ready to use a dunk to take the lead for the Spurs!

Seeing Leonard getting closer and closer to the basket, the players on the Spurs bench were all on their feet and ready to cheer. But just as he was about to dunk the ball into the basket, a big hand that did not lose to Leonard suddenly slapped on the basketball and pinned the basketball firmly.

A pegboard hat!

Leonard's "facial paralysis" face showed a little surprise, and he turned his head to look after he landed.

Sure enough, it's the No. 34 who is even more exaggerated than himself!

At one time, Antetokounmpo wore No. 33 on the Pacers. But since Ray. After Allen retired from Indianapolis, No. 34 fell to Antetokounmpo.

Today, Antetokounmpo has made the number 34 the signature number of Indianapolis.

"Janis. Antetokounmpo! Did you see what he did!? He actually finished the pegboard hat on Leonard's head! Hahahaha, if you want me to say, this cover is worth 100 million in those 4 years! ”

The players on the Spurs bench looked confused, while the Pacers fans in the stands stood en masse and cheered.

Normally, Leonard's long arms and excellent athleticism keep him safe from blocking. But when it comes to reach and height, Antetokounmpo isn't targeting anyone.

All of you here are younger brothers.

The whole court was boiling instantly, and before the game started, the scene of Antetokounmpo vs Leonard, which people fantasized about, was actually staged so quickly.

Antetokounmpo got the ball and started to push forward with the ball, five positions away from Henson. Siakam studied Antetokounmpo's ball-handling route. Because at Henson's request, Siakam also needs to grab the rebound and go down quickly.

While the Pacers are fighting fiercely with other teams, Siakam, the "X factor", is also quietly growing.

On the basketball court, Antetokounmpo's fast ball control instantly pulled the pace of the game into a flying game. Leonard went neck and neck with him, and also tried to cut the ball when Antetokounmpo hit the three-point line.

But Antetokounmpo dodged the steal with a nice European step, which was big enough to open up space due to his long arms and great stride.

After getting rid of Leonard, Antetokounmpo directly burst out and attacked the frame hard! Every time he dunks, it's full of destructive power! Once this guy is allowed to rush to speed, even Leonard can only reach the dust!

His physical fitness and physical condition are enviable, and besides, this kid is only 22 years old!

Now, the general managers of the other 29 teams in the NBA must regret it. Why didn't they find out about this guy in the first place?

The ball went in, landed, and roared in the sky, drawing cheers from the banker's life arena.

Yang Nis. Antetokounmpo, who has apparently become the owner of this arena. His defense and fast break are all in one go, and even Leonard can't stop the "monster" from scoring if he wants to.

"What a ...... Monster. Popovich sighed, the Pacers simply changed their name to Monster League.

On a Spurs offense, Parker commanded his teammates to open up space. Obviously, he was going to play the ball for Aldridge.

After so many years, Aldridge has one shortcoming that has not changed, that is, the requirements for the shooting environment are too harsh.

Even if it was the slightest bit unreasonable, Aldridge wouldn't make a move. Under reasonable circumstances, Aldridge's solid jumper can deliver high efficiency and rewards. But as a top star, where are there so many reasonable opportunities since being heavily defended by the opponent?

This time was no exception, with Antetokounmpo throwing his arms up so hard that Aldridge couldn't find his attacking touch. So, he and Parker repeated the pass to each other three times. But in the end, Aldridge still didn't muster up the courage to make a move.

The offensive time was wasted every second, and in the end, it was only Parker who forced the score to steal points. But CP3 is not a good stubble, and in his tough defense, Parker's layup is not accurate at all.

Antetokounmpo grabbed the rebound himself and pushed forward with the ball again. Two steps from the three-point line, Antetokounmpo slammed a pass.

The basketball made its way through the crowd, hit the floor and bounced back into George's hand. At this point, George just shook off Leonard and easily made a layup after receiving the basketball, adding two more points to the Pacers.

Antetokounmpo's passing hit the nail on the head, as if he were the point guard on the court.

In fact, Antetokounmpo has already shown his passing talent on more than one occasion. This season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 5.4 assists per game, which is undoubtedly a pretty big number.

In other words, Antetokounmpo is the kind of player who can really go from number one to number five! And in all five positions, he was able to perform at the top level!

So the reporters who questioned Antetokounmpo's $100 million were either stupid or bad.

On the court, Antetokounmpo and George gave him a high-five. The game had just begun, and he controlled the tempo with a score, an assist, a block and two rebounds.

Popovich sighed, remembering what Henson had said to him before the game began.

"Better be careful, Pop. I bet he's going to give you a lot of headaches today. ”

Now, Popovich is really starting to get a headache.
