Artest, Battier, Butler, Parsons, and the swinging Green.

This lineup is definitely enough for a team's starters.

Casey didn't speak, he heard something, but he didn't seem to hear it.

"It's nothing, go get ready." Tang Tian waved his hand.

The Cavaliers' back-to-back opponents at home are the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers signed David West this season, and their strength has improved significantly, and they are currently ranked third in the East with an 11-5 record, beating the Celtics, Hawks, Magic and other old powerhouses, and the Heat are tied for the two new forces in the East in the new season.

Cleveland is much less popular than yesterday, on the one hand, the Christmas game has ended, and on the other hand, James is absent due to injury.

Under the introduction of the insistence DJ, the starters of the two teams appeared one after another.

On the Cavaliers' side, Paul Green played the backcourt, Yao Ming and Artest played the inside, and Battier replaced James as the starting small forward.

On the Pacers' side, Darren Collison and Paul George on the outside, Roy Hibbert and David West on the inside, and Granger at small forward.

Yao Ming gets the first offensive opportunity for the Cavaliers.

Paul scored a layup after a block from Paul and Yao Ming.

James was not on the court, and the offensive dominance naturally came to Paul and Yao Ming's side, while Battier and Green, two 3Ds, completely pulled out the offensive space.

The Pacers' round, Collisson's outside ball, George and Granger's off-ball pick-and-roll, George cut under the basket, and Granger went outside.

Hiberta went to the high post to block and pick-and-roll, and after Collison drew the attention of the defense with the pick-and-roll, a shot to the ground was given to George, who accelerated the low-handed layup.

Vogel was born as a video editor and has a high understanding of tactics, and after successively getting the instant power of George and West, he created a set of tactics that fit very well for the Pacers.

Paul blocks and passes back to Yao Ming, who goes back in the middle range.

But back up, Granger held the ball and West's pick-and-roll, and the latter's high jumper also went in.

The Cavaliers suddenly lost James, and the deterrence on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the front line declined significantly, while the Pacers had West and Granger, and most of the team's scoring was concentrated on the front line.

After more than 8 minutes in the first quarter, no one prevented anyone, and the score of 20 draws was directly deadlocked.

The two sides began to change substitutes one after another.

The Cavaliers have Jeremy Lin, Parsons and Whiteside on their side, and Green and Battier are in the starting lineup.

On the Pacers' side, West, Granger and Collison were on and Hansbro, Dundee Jones and George Hill were on the side.

The offense that came up to the Pacers, the blocking of Hill and Hibbert, and the shot that was withdrawn to the three-point line after being disassembled.

"Bang!"

The ball deflects off the basket.

Whiteside was about to pick up a defensive rebound when he got stuck with Hibbert, but Hibbert was tall and didn't jump to pick up the offensive rebound.

At this moment, a figure quickly cut into the basket.

It's George!

Hibbert gave the ball away, and George jumped to his feet with the ball.

Whiteside was pinned down by Hibbert and couldn't jump.

"Bang!"

With a heavy buckle of both hands, the whole body swung around the basket, and the physical fitness showed off!

After landing on the ground, George also yelled excitedly twice.

When he was a rookie, his physical fitness was not inferior to that of a first-line striker swingman.

Jeremy Lin's organization, the two of them blocked and dismantled outside the three-point line, and Jeremy Lin used the block to kill the basket.

His breakaway was quick, tearing through the Pacers' defense and Hansbrough making a basket.

It was at this moment that Jeremy Lin made a beautiful return pass to Parsons on the perimeter.

Parsons got a three-point shot and took the ball straight away.

"Bang!"

The ball hits the basket and bounces into the net.

Parsons' three-pointer, too!

The fans at the scene instantly burst into cheers.

As far as the Cavaliers' coaching staff is concerned, Parsons brings the feel of the practice game to the game.

But for the fans at the scene, this is the first time that the rookie of the team has made his debut, and he will not be frightened to hit three points on the court, and his potential is unlimited!

And more importantly, this person is still so handsome.

Appearance is a big killer to attract popularity in any field.

The Pacers' offense was the cooperation of Hill and George, and after breaking through the attraction package, George received the ball from the diagonal side and burst in, and scored the ball after fighting with Battier in the air.

There was a stirring at the scene.

The sophomore, George, became the main point of attack for the Pacers off the bench.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time and shouted at his teammates: "Control him outside the three-point line!" He doesn't have the ability to project! ”

The Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin broke through again, and this time the Pacers did not shrink, he directly chose to pull the rod for a layup.

Hibbert under the basket interfered, and there was a suspected beater, and the referee did not blow.

There was booing, but Whiteside proved his mettle, jumping up from Hansbrough and George to grab an offensive rebound and go straight to Parsons on the perimeter.

Before Parsons could shoot, there was already a cheer from the audience.

Jones flew over to help defend, Parsons played smartly, and after a little shaking, he took a step inside to the free throw line, and then shot again.

"Bang!"

The ball was still on the board, and you could feel that his projection was not stable.

"Huh!"

But the ball goes in after hitting the board!

He's really good tonight.

The cheers and screams at the scene were even worse, and the eyes of many girls were bubbling.

Over there, George, here Parsons, the two teams came off the bench to enter the dialogue between potential new stars.

The Pacers' offense, George and Hansbrough picked up the ball against Parsons after blocking and dismantling without the ball.

One step of acceleration, George directly used his body to collide with Parsons, rushed to the basket and made a spinning layup to Whiteside, which directly caused the latter's thug to foul.

George goes to the free throw line.

Tang Tian turned around and called Butler up at this time.

These rounds, whether it is Battier or Parsons, can't limit George.

Battier is old and slow, and Parsons is average in his own defensive ability.

'His shooting and attacking with the ball are weaknesses. Before going on the court, Tang Tian pulled Butler and admonished.

George scored the first free throw, and a whistle sounded from the sidelines.

Butler came on for Battier, and Parsons swung to the number four.

George's second free throw gave the Pacers a 26-25 lead with two minutes left in the first quarter.

The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactical run, Jeremy Lin gave the ball to Green, who came out of the pocket, and Green made a three-point shot from the outside.

"Bang!"

The shot was missed.

Whiteside struggled to jump, but Hibbert pressed him so hard that he couldn't jump, and he also pressed Hibbert with his arm to prevent him from grabbing.

On the other side, Hansbrough also stuck Parsons to prevent him from jumping.

The ball bounced up and fell, and the four inside players didn't even have a chance to grab the ball.

At this moment, a red figure rushed in from the outside, jumped up first, grabbed the bounced basketball, and slammed it directly into the basket!

"Bang!"

The ball was dunked and hooked his foot around the basket.

The fans paused, and then burst into excited cheers.

Jimmy Butler!
