The Rockets didn't have enough time to enjoy the joy of victory after their bloodless win over the Walkers, and they rushed to Indiana to take on the Indiana Pacers tomorrow.

The Pacers sent George to the Thunder this summer amid rumors that George would not be the Lakers in exchange for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. In addition, the Pacers have added TJ Leaf, Darren Collisson, Bojan Bogdanovic and Corey Joseph to the roster.

Overall, the current Pacers are no longer the Pacers who can drag the Eastern Conference mighty Cavaliers to a life-and-death battle.

Although Stephenson is still in the team, the current Stephenson is no longer the Stephenson who can blow in LeBron's ears, and the current Stephenson's competitive level has dropped too much.

George's departure from the Thunder put the Pacers into a rebuilding process for good.

Speaking of Pacers, I have to say that Reggie Miller, the Miller moment of the year, to this day, is still fresh in people's memories.

Speaking of Miller, many people will think of Jordan, the god of basketball, back then, Miller pushed Jordan away and completed a shocking kill, which is also a scar that Jordan can never erase for the rest of his life.

After the Auburn Hills incident, the Pacers did not recover for a long time, and Miller had entered the twilight of his career, and finally chose to retire.

It wasn't until George's rise that the team was brought to new heights, but LeBron was never booked, and eventually, the talented Pacers were disbanded.

In fact, Cheng Lei was still very optimistic about the Pacers at that time, George, Stephenson plus Hibbert, and they were the only ones in the East who could cause so much trouble to the Cavaliers.

Perhaps tired of being suppressed by LeBron, George left the East, and the Pacers completely entered the ranks of reconstruction.

As a common practice, the assistant coach of the Rockets has already sorted out the information of the Pacers and asked everyone to read it in advance.

The team's highest annual salary now is Oladipo who plays the second position, however, judging from his performance, this price is still a bit inflated, as long as Oladipo is choked, the Pacers' ability will plummet.

Of course, this task was handed over to Cheng Lei, and it was almost impossible for Harden to seriously defend him.

The next day, in the morning, the Rockets practiced as usual, and in the afternoon, two hours early, they came to the game venue, and after familiarizing themselves with the venue, they returned to the locker room.

The home court of the Pacers has a large number of empty spots, and obviously, everyone does not have much confidence in this Pacers.

However, on the commentary bench this time, the Pacers' celebrity, Reggie Miller, who partnered with him to comment, was Buckley, the big mouth of the living treasure.

For the commentary of this game, Barkley really can't be interested, the strength of the two teams is too different, the Pacers are obviously cannon fodder, there is no wonderful game, what's the point of explaining.

"Reggie, it's not me saying it, the current Pacers are really not good, why don't you suggest that the team manager bring in more talent!" Barkley asked.

"You think it's so easy to introduce, the current alliance, the atmosphere has changed, it's not our time anymore!" Miller said helplessly.

Now, the league's strongest teams, the Warriors, the Rockets, the Spurs, the Cavaliers, and the players who want to win the championship would rather lower their value and join these teams, and as for other teams, it is really difficult to bring in talent.

"The Rockets just slaughtered the Grizzlies yesterday, and morale is high, and today, the Pacers are probably going to have a hard time!" Barkley said with a big mouth.

"Are you playing Team Rocket, this is a continuous battle, in terms of physical fitness, it will definitely be a trouble!" Miller said pertinently.

Although he is a famous name for the Pacers, today, even Miller is not optimistic that the Pacers can win.

Soon, a two-serve starting lineup was played on the big screen in the middle of the court.

The starting lineup of the Pacers is, Lance Stephenson, Victor Oladipo, Bojan Bogdanovic, Thaddeus Young, Myles Turner.

Unexpectedly, Stephenson was actually relegated to the point guard position, which shows how short the current Pacers are.

Ross Barkley didn't know where to start introducing the starting line-up, so he simply named the players.

Miller wrinkled, thinking, in this game, how should the Pacers limit the Rockets' duo, Paul and Harden, on paper, these two points seem to be insolvable, and there are no defenders in the team who can limit the two.

"Reggie, do you know who I'm most optimistic about the Rockets right now?" Barkley said suddenly.

"You're not going to say you like Capela the most, are you? This guy doesn't play like you, and he doesn't know how to use fart-shares! Miller said with a laugh.

"You think everyone has this kind of talent!" Barkley said proudly.

If you want to say that in the league, if you want Barkley to use your farts to the extreme, there is no one else but himself.

"No, you see, I like that Chinese kid the most!" Barkley pointed to Cheng Lei, who was warming up.

"Ah, you've changed sex, didn't you look down on the Chinese before! I still remember that when you bet on Yao, you lost very badly! ”

"Can you stop talking about that!" Barkley said with a blushing face.

"Haha, you're still embarrassed, but I'm curious why you like this young man!"

Reggie Miller has been busy all day long because of a change of job recently, and he rarely appears in the comment table, and he really doesn't know much about what Barkley said about Cheng Lei.

"The defense is fierce, bloody, and I like to fight!" Barkley said with a smile.

From Cheng Lei, he can see the shadow of their era, the shadow of playing, and the current players are playing softly, and it is rare to see this kind of person who likes iron-blooded defense.

In the bubble tea shop, as long as there is a game of Team Rocket, the game of Team Rocket will be played on the big screen.

Hicks and Wu Chunlei withdrew the things in their hands, sat on the sofa, looked at the ball seriously, and in front of the two, there was a case of beer, with some side dishes, very chic.

"It shouldn't be a problem to take the Pacers today!" Hicks said confidently.

"That's for sure, the Pacers' strength has dropped too much," Wu Chun raised the beer in his hand and motioned for Hicks to take a sip together.

"Oh, by the way, do you think Cheng Lei should sign that brand of sneakers?" Wu Chunlei suddenly burst out of a sentence.

Since becoming Cheng Lei's agent, he has recently received several contracts from sneakers, and Wu Chunlei is now comprehensively considering which one is the best for Cheng Lei.

"Nike's rookie contract is definitely the most picky, Adi will be slightly better, if there are other brands that are not first-line brands, the value may be higher!" Hicks thought for a moment and said.

Indeed, the several contracts in Cheng Lei's hands are the same as Hicks said, and when Cheng Lei comes back later, he still has to ask Cheng Lei which brand he likes.
