The Bobcats opened with a three-pointer and the Pacers served in the backcourt to begin their first offense of the game.

Jamar Tinsley drove forward with the ball and then handed it to Stephen Jackson.

Stephen Jackson breaks through to attract the defense, and the ball goes to Marquis Daniels on the wing.

Marquis Daniels received the ball, and then, he faced Andre Iguodala's defense, and Marquis Daniels could only share the ball again.

The Bobcats' rotation defense was still fast, and after Jamal Tinsley at the top of the arc picked up the ball again, Chris Paul made up for it, and the gap on the strong side was completely filled.

After the Pacers' back-to-back breakaways and shifting the ball, the Bobcats' defense remained airtight.

Rick Carlisle immediately noticed the change of the Bobcats on the defensive end, the Bobcats no longer played infinite defensive changes, but a fast-rotating joint defense, with wave after wave of cooperation of the Pacers, the Bobcats' defense did not give a chance at all, not even a chance to misplace.

In the last two seconds, mid-range Jermaine O'Neal received the ball and forced a shot against Garnett's defense.

Bang, shoot iron.

Perkinska on the inside grabbed the rebound, and the Bobcats' offense, they quickly advanced to the frontcourt and failed to take advantage of the counterattack.

However, after the offense entered a positional battle, the Bobcats' strong side and the Pacers were still unable to resist.

Paul held the ball, Garnett covered, and after a single block, the Pacers did not choose to switch defenses, but chose to delay Paul's breakthrough.

But Garnett was let go as a result, and he went down to the free throw line, received the ball, and went straight to a mid-range jumper.

With the space completely empty, Garnett also seized the opportunity.

Bang, the ball goes in!

The Pacers had to serve from the backcourt again, and the frontcourt began to focus on the combination of Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal, but after Stephen Jackson broke through, the Bobcats quickly blocked the void with their rotation defense.

Stephen Jackson shot against Michael Reed, who was making up the defense, slammed, and hit the iron again.

After two consecutive rounds of defense, the intensity of the Bobcats' defense has been increased to the strongest, and on the commentary bench, Gary Payton has summed up something: "After Kevin Garnett joined, the Bobcats' defense changed from last season's infinite rotation to a regional joint defense, which can be seen in this game." ”

"In the local area, they can always defend more and less, every attack of the opponent can be prevented by the Bobcats, the speed of rotation defense is extremely fast, maybe in the new season, the Bobcats' defense will usher in a wave of explosions."

On the court, the Bobcats grabbed the rebound and tried to fight back again, this time successfully.

Iguodala quickly drove to the front court with the ball and then gave the ball to Paul, at which point the Pacers had only three people to defend back.

With Jamal Tinsley keeping an eye on Paul, Marquis Daniels and Stephen Jackson on one side, three on the frontcourt, and it looked like the Pacers weren't missing anyone.

But Paul directly accelerated the pass, and Tinsley, who was already terrible defensively, was directly passed.

With no one to guard under the basket, Paul made a light layup and scored two points.

The Bobcats fought back, and at the beginning, they directly beat the Pacers a 7:0!

Rick Carlisle didn't take a timeout, and the Pacers served again in the backcourt.

This time, they opted for a different style of offense, with Jermaine O'Neal suddenly pulling high and receiving the ball to respond, Garnett had to defend it, and the Pacers' other smaller players were weak side blocks.

Then, Stephen Jackson went around the weak side and caught the ball from mid-range and made a direct jumper.

Bang, the ball goes in!

The Pacers finally scored, and in the home team's coach's box, Qiao Hai tilted his head and quipped: "The Pacers are quite smart." ”

Tom Thibodo nodded: "Yes, they have seen that Kevin (Garnett) is the key to our defense, Jermaine O'Neal pulls to the top of the arc to attack, Kevin has to defend out, and our mid-range defense and assistance defense are not so fast." ”

"Then tell the court, keep Kevin in his position, and if Jermaine pulls to the top of the arc again, let Andre [Iguodala] go and change the defense."

"Andre alright?" Tom Thibodu was a little hesitant. "He's a little shorter."

"There's no problem, Jermaine O'Neal's shooting is average, his offense is focused on impacting the basket, Andre just needs to guard his outside shots, and if he hits the inside, he will let Kevin switch back."

Tom Thiberdu nodded, then got up and passed the message to the field in place of Qiao Hai.

……

In the opening game, the Bobcats played a wave of 7:2 and took a five-point lead, and they also continued to be strong on the defensive end, but because the tempo was not fast.

Therefore, after the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats only led the Pacers by 7 points at 27:20.

In the second quarter, Qiao Hai continued to ask the team to control the tempo, and his lineup on the court was also a more conventional lineup, with the two interior players being Biedrins and Josh Smith, and the outside lineup being Paul, Anthony Parker and Danny Granger.

"Joe should still be struggling with what kind of rotation he should use, and after he sent away two point guards, Mo Williams and Jarred Jack, the Bobcats lack bench depth at the point guard position in the summer." Steve Cole looked at the Bobcat's bench.

"Whether it's Jose Barria or C.J. Watson, they're just rookies, and it's hard to get on the court and contribute."

Although Qiao Hai does not agree with Steve Cole's opinion, for the time being, he really will not use Barria and Watson.

Paul will play more time, and at the same time, Joe Hay will also have Andre Iguodala and Michael Reed play more guest point guards.

For the Bobcats, with the addition of Kevin Garnett, and as Andre Iguodala and Josh Smith continue to grow, the Bobcats have more players at their disposal, and they have enough players to organize the offense, even if not as a backup point guard.

In the second quarter, Paul played two or three minutes, and the Bobcats and Pacers were tied.

Then, Joe Hay walked out of the substitution, and Iguodala came on the court and made a cameo appearance at point guard.

After playing for a few more minutes, Qiao Hai made another substitution, and Michael Reed came on the court to play a cameo point guard again, and in this constant misplaced cameo, the Bobcats' offense was not affected, and the defense maintained its intensity.

That's why Joe doesn't use Barria and Watson, these two point guards are too short to put on the court and it could be a defensive hole.

Therefore, Qiao Hai will not use Barria and Watson unless necessary, and the two of them are more like an alternative in the Bobcats.

At halftime, the Bobcats led the Pacers by 11 points, 55-44.

In the new season, the Bobcats have a new look, looking at the score at halftime, their style has also changed, from last season's all-offense and half-defense, it seems to have become an all-offense and all-defense style.
