When the two sides warmed up, the game officially began, the referee on duty threw the basketball into the air, and David Robinson pressed Rick Schmitz to get the first wave of offensive opportunities for the Spurs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this game, the Spurs stopped the rotation and rested, and the main players all played, starting center David Robinson, after David Robinson's return, Tim Duncan also returned to the position of power forward, small forward Meng Xu, scoring guard Mario Elie, and point guard Avery Johnson.

On the Pacers' side, the center is Dutchman Rick Schmitz, power forward Dale Davis, the Pacers' two interior lines are one with excellent shooting, but the defense is very poor, and the movement and footwork are not excellent, one is physically strong, tough defense, but the offensive means are low, these two players are old players who have played for the Pacers for about 10 years, although the ability is average, but the game is experienced, and many of the league's new generation of interior lines have suffered at their hands. The small forward is Jalen Rose, Jalen Rose has more opportunities this season than last season, and the current average data per game is infinitely close to 20+5+4, which has surpassed the team's boss Reggie Miller in terms of data. The scoring guard is Reggie Miller, the boss of the Pacers, this year is Reggie Miller's thirteenth season, as a player living in the shadow of Jordan, Reggie Miller, who has reached the end of his career, also hopes to win a championship before retiring. Point guard Mark Jackson, as a veteran player who entered the league in the same year as Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson's aspirations are the same as Reggie Miller's.

Meng Xu's main task in this game is to defend the Pacers' top scorer Jalen Rose. In the past few games of David Robinson's rotation, the defensive system established by the Spurs this season has greatly reduced its efficiency, and the average points conceded per game have increased by as much as 10 points.

During the years that the Pacers coached Larry Brown, they also established their own solid defensive system, and their defensive efficiency never fell out of the top 5 in the league, and after Larry Bird took over the Pacers, he did not change the original tactical system, but injected offensive elements into the team while stabilizing the defense, which also made the Pacers complete the transformation in just one season.

When the game between the Pacers and the Spurs began, the Spurs quickly took the advantage, David Robinson and Tim Duncan continued to play the inside, and the Pacers' proud outside line, after Jalen Rose was greatly reduced by Meng Xu's close defense, only Reggie Miller was left alone, and Mario Elie, who was opposite Reggie Miller, was ******** destroyed by Reggie Miller. This year's Reggie Miller is 35 years old, and his athleticism and peak have dropped a lot, but Mario Eli is 2 years older than Reggie Miller, and even when he was young, he couldn't keep up with Reggie Miller, not to mention that he was almost 40 years old now.

As an outside player with the best running ability in the league, after the game started, Mario Eli could only follow Reggie Miller to eat ashes, and there was no way at all, Reggie Miller shot 5 of 7 and 2 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter alone, scoring a game-high 12 points. After the start of the second quarter, Meng Xu appeared in the position of scoring guard and took on the heavy responsibility of defending Reggie Miller.

"Rookie, are you interested in playing in Indiana, Larry is very interested in you." Looking at Meng Xu who was sticking behind him, Reggie Miller said with a smile. There are too many defensive masters he has encountered in his career, including Jordan and Pippen, and he has not been able to limit himself, so when he saw Meng Xu without the ball, he pasted himself, and Reggie Miller didn't care.

"What?" Meng Xu, who was concentrating on defending Miller, was also stunned after hearing Miller's words, and began to dig into the corners of the wall on the court, which he had really never seen before.

"It's too tender." At the moment when Meng Xu was distracted, Miller quickly ran away, watching Meng Xu catch up at an astonishing speed, Miller was surprised at the same time, but also a little regretful. For Miller, as long as there is a half-position gap, he has space to catch and shoot.

This old guy is really strong, although he was played by Miller once, but Meng Xu still quickly caught up, but Miller stubbornly relied on that weird running and change of direction, always leading Meng Xu by half to a position, this result also made Meng Xu feel a sense of frustration, with his 100 speed attribute, he couldn't catch up with this old man, it was really speechless.

"That's it?" Just when Miller was one position ahead of Meng Xu again through a change of direction, Miller received a pass from Mark Jackson, and without the slightest adjustment, Miller shot directly. Although he had a premonition that Miller was going to shoot in advance, Miller's shooting speed was very fast, and Miller obviously had a pause in the air, although the jump was not high, and the shooting point was not high, but Meng Xu just couldn't seal it, due to the poor bounce and attributes, when defending Miller, Meng Xu was also very sad, jumping in advance, Miller hadn't shot yet, he landed first, jumped late, and the ball had already left his hand.

"Rookie, didn't your coach teach you, what is the first element of playing on the field?" After scoring the goal, Reggie Miller walked to Meng Xu's side and pointed his finger at his big bald head: "That's to concentrate, don't be distracted, understand, little rookie." ”

"I don't fix it." After muttering a sentence in his mouth, Meng Xu ignored Reggie Miller and ran to the frontcourt.

And on the offensive end, Miller is also quite difficult, no matter how Meng Xu runs, Miller can catch up with him, and Meng Xu is not like Miller, he can shoot without adjustment, often as soon as Meng Xu receives the basketball, Miller will appear in front of Meng Xu just right, the bounce of the pit father, and the adjustment for a long time before the shot, so that Miller has enough time to block.

"El, Meng's performance in this game is completely unworthy of your praise for him." Seeing that Meng Xu was completely blown up by Miller at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Mike Brand, the commentator on the field, looked at his partner with some ill will.

"Oh, Mike, Reggie Miller is one of the best outside players in the league, and Meng is just a rookie, it's not normal to be beaten up by Reggie Miller, you know, even Jordan couldn't do anything to Reggie Miller back then." After watching Reggie Miller shoot 2 points again under Meng Xu's interference, Michaels was also embarrassed.
