The opening game of the Pacers vs Raptors may be one of the league's most unsuccessful games scheduled this year. Because the game has just reached the third quarter, the ratings have already jumped off a cliff.

Reggie. Miller felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, and he really didn't know what angle to comment on this boring game. Jeff. Van Gundy simply chatted with everyone about his experience fishing at White Rock Lake in Dallas......

There are several kinds of boredom in the game, one is that both sides defend too tightly, resulting in an ugly scene, unable to score goals for half a day, or always interrupted by fouls. The most representative is the 2005 Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons.

The other is because the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, so that the game loses suspense early. The lagging side has no hope of catching it back. This kind of competition, which has no confrontation and competitiveness to speak of, naturally cannot satisfy the fans.

And the boredom of the Pacers and Raptors obviously belongs to the second type.

In the third quarter of the game, Dwayne. Casey's eyes were blank and glazed. His goal this year is to lead the team to the playoffs, and he is looking forward to this year's Raptors lineup. However, the long season has only just begun, and Casey has seen a huge gap between the Raptors and the true top teams.

This gap is not something that the Raptors will be able to fill overnight, even if the Raptors can really bring Rudy. Guy traded, and they're no match for the Pacers.

On the court, Chris. Paul also assisted Anderson on an empty dunk, and the difference was stretched to 30 points...... However, Casey has been completely numb to this, and at first he would be heartbroken when he saw the team being beaten like this, but now he has been abused with his "ability to resist hitting".

Paul, George, Green, West and Horford, Stephenson, Ray on the bench. Allen, Leonard, Yi Jianlian and Anderson, Casey's players can be said to be completely blown out in all directions! Players in every position on the opposing side seem to have the advantage!

By the way, there's also the little-known Jimmy, who barely played much last season. Butler, whose performance made Casey's eyes shine. Why do you say that these geniuses all ran to Henson. What about Joe's team? The Pacers have barely made any big additions this summer, but the Pacers have risen a lot just by relying on the growth of young people.

This question, Reggie. Miller is the same towards Jeff. Van Gundy brought it up.

"Paul. George, when he was drafted with the 10th pick, the whole league thought Henson had wasted a lottery pick. Reims. Stephenson, except for the Pacers, no team at the time dared to bring such a time bomb back. Danny. Green, an obscure second-round pick, who would have thought he would be a qualified starter right now? Kawaii. Leonard, outside of a lotto zone, no team has the confidence to develop his youngsters. However, if it weren't for Leonard's play in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the Pacers would not have gotten the ring! Jimmy. Butler, a rookie at the end of the bench who played less than 50 games last season, has already given us several rounds of excellent defense today. Don't forget, there's also Holiday and Matthews, who have left but are thriving......"

Reggie. Miller changed his tone after listing a lot of names, "These players are not the 'hits' in the draft, and many of them are even considered unteachable by other teams. However, it is such a group of 'unpopular' young people who have now made the Pacers so strong, and without exception! Seriously, Henson. Coach Joe's eyes are perhaps more vicious than the Spurs'. His shooting percentage in the draft is almost equal to 100%! ”

"That's true, we've just seen Jimmy. Butler's performance. Jimmy was almost transparent last season, but I'm sure that this season the young defender will make us know him. Henson. Coach Joe was originally a scout, which is likely the reason for his unique vision. It turns out that it's not just a team of stars to develop that can be done. Henson. Coach Joe has shown a clear path to the general managers of all teams. ”

While Miller and Van Gundy were still lamenting Henson's team-building approach, the third quarter was over. 98-69, at the end of the third quarter, the Pacers scored almost 100 points, while the Raptors trailed by 29 points.

This time there was a break, and Henson's expression was no longer serious. When the players were rested, he didn't even take the tactical board.

"If you are reversed by 29 points, it will be ...... Well, guys, I have to admit that we can't be reversed now. Henson shook his head, now that even he himself can't get nervous, how can he make the players nervous?

Besides, the Pacers don't need to be nervous at all.

So the whole fourth quarter, the whole 12 minutes of the game, turned into garbage time. As the worst-rated of the three openers, the Pacers were certainly disliked by the league's president. The most impressive thing about the whole game was the presentation ceremony of the championship ring at the beginning. The competition itself seems to have become a performance after the awarding ceremony.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Raptors 122-95 at home! At the end of the match, Henson's experience accumulator reacted again. But this game ...... It just adds a measly 50 XP to Henson......

550/2000, Henson's upgrade road is still getting longer and longer.

"You knocked me down, Coach." As he shook Henson's hand, Casey shook his head vigorously. His pre-match nervousness proved to be completely unnecessary, as the match didn't have the conditions to create suspense from the start.

"It was my player who brought you down, Mr. Casey. Your team has a lot of potential, come on. "Henson rarely said two beautiful words to his opponent, after all, facing an opponent of this level, Henson can't get the pleasure of pretending to be X......

In this way, the originally high-profile opening game ended in a sparse manner. The fans didn't get to see the good game or Henson swearing. In fact, none of the three openers of the season seem to be worthy of the national broadcast.

In Miami, the Heat slaughtered the Celtics 120-107 and also played the game. As it turns out, the Celtics are no longer at the top of the league, and the Miami Heat are still going strong for a third championship.

The only suspenseful game in the opening game was the game between the Mavericks and the Lakers, which was originally thought to be the least suspenseful, because the Lakers F4 can be said to be the most luxurious combination of the book lineup this season! On the Mavericks' side, the championship team has long been broken up. The strength of the two sides seems to be not at the same level at all.

However, it turned out to be the smallest of the three openers. 99 to 91, a difference of just 8 points. What's even more surprising is that the Lakers F4 is the one who scored 91 points......

The combination of Kobe Bryant + Gasol + Howard + Nash was stunned that he couldn't do O.J. Mayo + Darren. Collison. Yes, there is no Nowitzki business, because Nowitzki was injured today and did not play at all!

The Lakers F4, which was considered by the outside world to be "able to win 82 consecutive wins as long as they are healthy", lost to the Dallas Mavericks, who lacked a leading star! The three games on the first day of the new NBA season were unexpected.

The Lakers' F4 defeat undoubtedly caused an uproar in the outside world. Is the accumulation of stars really the right way to win the championship? Which of the Pacers' team building model, which focuses on draft and cultivation, supplemented by trading stars, and the Lakers' team building model, which is rich and rich, and all kinds of robbery and trading, can really succeed? It became a topic of debate among fans.

"Don't ask me such boring questions, I don't care how people build teams." During the second day of training, Henson expressed his disdain in the face of interviews with reporters.

'I don't care about other people, I only care about my own team. Besides, the Lakers only lost one game. ”

Thanks to Henson's "good words", the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers that night. After entering November, he even lost to the Clippers, the sworn enemy of the same city, and "won" three consecutive defeats...... With the most luxurious lineup in the league, he has a three-game losing streak, and even Henson is a little incomprehensible. The Lakers are really, a typical example of a good deck of cards played poorly.

Contrary to the Lakers, the Pacers have won two more handily big wins over the Bobcats and Kings since the opener, and three straight wins are within reach.

The records of the Los Angeles Lakers and Pacers are simply two extremes, so the outside public opinion is more on Henson's side.

"Coach Henson's idea of building a team is the real way to win! Crazy stacking of stars does not mean crazy victory. ”

But at this time, Henson was not complacent because of the praise of the outside world. Because, the two teams in the league that will most rely on the draft to build their teams are about to meet!

On Nov. 5, the Indiana Pacers took on the San Antonio Spurs away. For Henson and his team, this game can be regarded as the real "opening game".
