This summer's Pacers mostly made a trade to send Murphy away and bring back Collison and Posey.
Yes, they upgraded their point guards, but they weakened the power forward position, which had a big impact on their rebounding.
Their record is now teetering on the edge of the playoffs.
The Pacers still have a chance to make the playoffs, but it's only a possibility, and the odds of it happening are not too great.
This season, the Pacers have improved on the defensive end, especially in defensive efficiency, from 19th to 15th.
But on the offensive end, they're in trouble, and if Granger hadn't missed 10 games, if T.J. Ford hadn't gone down the wrong path, and if Mike Dunleavy had been able to stay healthy, they wouldn't have been too bad.
The Pacers are now ranked 26th in the league in offensive efficiency.
Despite scoring problems, the Pacers still play at a fast pace, and even in several ways, they are on par with the Lakers.
Another big issue for the Pacers is rebounding.
They rank only 22nd in the league in defensive rebounds, while they rank 29th in the league in rebounding percentage, just ahead of the Warriors.
The bigger problem the Pacers also face is the building of their team, which makes it difficult for them to operate more aggressively due to the restrictions of the luxury tax.
For the past two seasons, they have waited to sign only second-rate players and offer short-term contracts until 2011, when they become a more active team on the free market.
This summer, the Pacers mainly carried out a four-team operation, sending Murphy to the Nets to reclaim Darren Collison and James Posey, although in terms of salary, maybe the deal is not very sensible and may affect their 2011 plans, but in terms of basketball, Collison is still a good signing, his game is a bit similar to Ford, Collison is a very good defender.
However, sending Murphy away also leaves them with some questions about whether the bench can keep up.
In this regard, the Pacers have done well, and the addition of Collison is a plus factor.
At the wing position, Rush and Jones are both reliable defenders, and while Dunleavy isn't a great one-on-one defender, he's a pretty good team defender.
Granger is a decent defender and Paul George is also making a difference.
In the Pacers' frontcourt, Hansbrough is a more active defender than Murphy, and he's a better defender of pick-and-rolls.
In the center forward position, Hibbert is also a good defensive player.
The disadvantage for the Pacers is obvious.
Even if Hansbru can be brave, it will be difficult to hide the shortcomings of the Pacers in rebounding.
If Hansbrough hadn't made good deliveries repeatedly, the Pacers' rebounds would have been left to the bottom.
Murphy's departure has had no small impact on the Pacers, who are an excellent rebounder.
One solution for the walkers is for Foster to get back to health.
But this guy missed most of last season due to surgery, and he can stay healthy after that, and he can make a difference with rebounding.
Suffice it to say, the current Pacers have a chance to compete for a playoff spot, but it's very difficult to actually get a spot, and they're not that good.
Although the point guard has been upgraded, there has been a lot of attrition in the power forward position.
If Foster and others can stay healthy, the Pacers might be able to squeeze a little bit into the playoffs.
If they can use their expiring contracts to upgrade their roster before the trade deadline, they will have a better chance.
However, it is more likely that they will be in a similar position and situation for the fifth consecutive season, hovering around eighth and ninth.
........
On the evening of November 27.
The Lakers vs. Pacers game is on.
Pacers starters: Collisson, Jones, Granger, Hansbro and Hibbert
Lakers starters: Lee Forest, Danny Green, Carter, Lewis, Jordan Jr.,
......
The Lakers put Lewis in the starting lineup, and the Lakers made another adjustment due to Barnes' injury.
The two teams quickly found their groove after the start of the game and opened fire on the outside.
Li Forest scored consecutive breakthroughs.
After that, Lee Forest and Gerald Green each scored a three-pointer, and Granger also used a three-pointer to fight back, and the two sides played back and forth.
With 6:50 left in the first quarter, the Lakers led 20-11.
Soon, Paul George was replaced.
After Paul George was replaced, Li Linlin immediately looked for him to go head-to-head.
Low on the right side.
Rookie George against Mr. 83 points.
Now George was a little excited and nervous.
Lee Forest held the ball with his back to the ball and he could feel George's nervousness.
Li Linlin nagged in his mouth: "Paul, your talent and talent are not comparable to Granger, he is not suitable to be the boss, you have no future in the Pacers, come to the Lakers, I will take you to win the championship." ”
At that time, the nagging was so tempting to Li Linlin.
The Lakers didn't have a draft pick to pick George in the summer, and Lee Forest was helpless.
He now wants to bring George over and slowly cultivate, anyway, this thing likes the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the Lakers, it is cool, and Li Forest can use these future superstars: "Come to Los Angeles, I will take you to win the championship." This sentence.
Li Linlin's current status is very tempting to say it, and it can also influence the other party.
"Li, I'll concentrate on the game first, don't underestimate me."
Paul George put his hand on Li Linlin's waist, he only thought that Li Linlin was interfering with him, and was not tempted.
He would love to go to the Lakers, but that's not the case.
Li Shulin smiled.
"Let's try!"
The will of the future all-stars is very strong!
George is characterized by being very versatile, and Lee Forest would love to poach him.
George's ball-handling shots aren't particularly consistent, but his catch-and-shoot is reliable.
George is particularly accurate in shooting after being covered by his teammates on the inside, with a frequency of third among small forwards;
No one in the top 10 is more accurate than him, not even Durant.
If he wants to come to the Lakers, it will be seamlessly connected to Li Linlin's "blind throwing a few handfuls" system.
But at this time, it is better to win him first.
Lee Forest backs George, and then, after a series of steps, rolls over and jumps to attract Hibbert's bag.
Jump cross to unguarded Danny Green in the bottom corner.
"The Legend of the Heavenly King."
Although you don't have to jump up now to start it often, Li Linlin still has such a habit.
Danny Green shoots an unguarded three-pointer from the corner.
Hit!!
Green hit a 3-pointer to extend the lead.
George and Hibbert then combined for four points, and the Lakers were tightened but still held the lead.
The Lakers hit two three-pointers from the outside, and even Lewis hit a three-pointer, and an 11-2 rebound wave put the Pacers behind by more than double digits.
Carter scored four points in a row to help the team pull away again, and Lee Forest broke through to score.
The Lakers ended the first quarter with a 13-point lead at 32-19. Li scored 15 points in the first quarter.
Lee Forest started the second quarter with a three-pointer, driving the Lakers' offense to blossom more, Green, Carter, and Lewis took turns to score, and a 10-3 small Gao Chao made the Lakers 42-22 to stretch the difference to 20 points again.
The two teams then traded a few offenses each, and the Lakers always maintained the lead, and there was not much suspense in the game after that.
The Lakers won again in this game!
The Lakers are on an eight-game winning streak.
……
After the game.
Li Forest hugged George and whispered in his ear.
"Paul, really, come to the Lakers, I'm here for the Pacers to pick, and you're the starter."
"Haha, I'm okay with that." George replied quietly.
Playing next to Kobe and Lee Forest, the Lakers system is also suitable, and then in Los Angeles, not to mention
"OK, then I'll take you into the answer."
Li Forest was easily abducted and sold to a rookie George.
…………
Ask for a recommended ticket, a monthly pass.
