Chapter 440: Regular Season Debut

The time soon came on October 27th, and the Pacers will welcome the challenge of the Pelicans on their home court, as the Pelicans who forced the championship Warriors into Game 6 in the first round last season, their strength is also very strong, plus the Pelicans have Anthony, Ye Xuan's good friend, so there are quite a lot of highlights in this game.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers took the advantage on the field as soon as they came up, although it was true that the point guard was Rondo, but the Pacers' offensive starting point was still Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper, the whistle sounded, and the Pacers' first regular season game of the season finally began. The referee had just tossed the ball when Anthony Davis pushed the king to slap the ball into Holiday hands.

Holiday slowly controlled the basketball to the front court, and immediately passed the ball to Little Melon, and Pickled Pepper stood in front of Anthony to mark. Anthony shook the ball after receiving it, dribbled the ball to the side at the moment when Pickle Pepper pounced forward, and tried to step back and jump shot, and the ball went in. Anthony held his right hand, which he hadn't put down, and watched as Pickled Pepper slowly retreated to the backcourt. Pickled pepper also secretly clenched his fists, the next ball, I must guard against you.

And looking back, Rondo also came up and passed the ball to Ye Xuan, let Ye Xuan hold the ball and play the opponent alone, it was a small steel cannon that defended Ye Xuan, Eric Gordon, Ye Xuan was still a little too tall for Gordon, Ye Xuan, who was two meters and one, was about to pull up and shoot directly outside the three-point line after receiving the ball, Gordon naturally would not let Ye Xuan succeed easily, but Ye Xuan's idea was of course not so simple, he pulled the ball down and then wanted to dribble next to him, successfully dodging Gordon's defense, and then Ye Xuan no longer hesitated, It was directly a three-point shot, and the basketball went into the net.

Looking back, the Pelicans still let Anthony hold the ball and play Pickle Pepper alone, but this time Pickle Pepper's defense did a very good job, and did not give Anthony the slightest chance to shoot, Anthony stalemate with Pickle Pepper for nearly ten seconds after receiving the ball and did not find a chance to shoot, and could only pass the ball back to Holiday, when Holiday received the ball, the offensive time was only 7 seconds, so he also wanted to immediately believe in attacking one, but the Pacers' point guard Rondo's defense was also one of the best, and the moment of the mistake, the basketball in Holiday was directly stabbed down.

Ye Xuan saw that Rondo had a steal, and immediately began to play a fast attack, together with Ye Xuan, there was also a pickled pepper that also reacted very quickly, after Rondo got the broken basketball, a long pass directly found Ye Xuan in the front court, at this time the Pelicans only Gordon reluctantly followed, and Ye Xuan was not greedy, after helping Pickled Pepper attract the attention of the defenders, he directly helped Pickled Pepper score two points with an aerial relay.

I have to say that the defensive ability of this lineup of the Pacers is too strong, and for these three people in the backcourt alone, other teams can't dream of forming them, because these three people are all players who have been selected for the best defensive lineup, especially Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan, who are new faces in the last two sessions, which means that the defensive skills of the two of them should be ranked best now.

However, the Pelicans are not without the ability to fight back, after being beaten into a fast break by the Pacers, the Pelicans immediately changed their offensive strategy, after Holiday controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Anthony Davis, who was in an important position on the inside, Brother Thick Eyebrows began to prepare to fight the boxing king on his back after receiving the ball, but the boxing champion was not a vegetarian back then, although Brother Thick Eyebrows forced the ball to hit in the end, but the physical exertion was greater than the two minutes he turned back and ran.

After being hit by Anthony Davis, the Pacers' side was not affected, and the backcourt trio was still attacking, while Jordan Hill and Chandler's role was to cover and rebound, this round Rondo did not choose to pass the ball to Ye Xuan, but forced the breakthrough himself and then gave the ball to the outside Pickled Pepper, Pickled Pepper caught the ball and shook Anthony away, and then took a step inward and pulled it up again, and hit the shot.

However, there is a not-so-good point in the Pacers' lineup, that is, Jordan Hill was originally a stumbling insider, and the Pelicans encountered today, their big forward is Ryan Anderson, a standard outside power forward, and as a result, the Pacers suffered a big loss in Anderson's defense, and in the next two rounds, Anderson used the catch after running without the ball to shoot two three-pointers, and instantly pulled the situation back on the court.

I have to say that the Pelicans lineup is indeed very good, if they don't meet the Pacers, they may be able to easily defeat the opponent, after all, their five points can be pulled out to shoot three points, the speed of offensive and defensive conversion is very good, and their positional battle is also very powerful, not only Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony's two positions are attacked, but also Holiday breakthrough and Gordon and Anderson's three-point shot is also very good.

But they encountered the unreasonable Pacers, although the Pelicans relied on their interior range advantage and did not let the Pacers take advantage of anything in a short period of time, but their three-person play, including the little melon, was seriously curbed, of course, if it was just like this, the Pelicans could still accept it, but the most critical point is that the strength of the Pacers' bench players is far stronger than the Pelicans, although the Pacers replaced Rondo when the TV was suspended in the first quarter, ready to let him lead the second team to play at that time, but the replaced Solomon Hill is still not a good stubble, the defense is still strong, and the most important thing is that after Ye Xuan returned to the position of scoring guard, the Pelicans' defense is even more useless to the outside of the Pacers, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, the Pacers temporarily led the Pelicans 25:18 with their outside firepower and defense.

In fact, the Pacers' firepower has decreased somewhat, after all, Rondo's projection ability is indeed a fatal injury, but his defensive ability has also helped the Pacers, so although the Pacers' scoring ability may have decreased compared with last season, the average points conceded per game will definitely drop a lot.
