There are quite a few less visible teams in the league, and the Indiana Pacers are clearly one of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In recent years, they haven't had many superstars, the team's record is mediocre, and the style of play is not very distinctive, so this team doesn't have many fans, and the basics are focused on their own home state, Indiana.

It's not always good. This is a business league, popularity means your commercial value, and the more popular the player, the higher the value.

In fact, in a way, the Indiana Pacers are also helpless. Like the Golden State Warriors, they are also an old team and have had their glory days.

But in recent years, they haven't had any record that they can match. The NBA has so many stars that it's always kept within a certain amount, but the odds of them picking the Indiana Pacers are slim. It's not a big city, there's no big market, and it's a long way to come here to compete for the championship, and he can't attract big stars.

At the same time, their draft is not like the Golden State Warriors, which has gathered a large number of talented people. In the 90s, under the leadership of coaches Larry Brown and Larry Bird, they reached the Eastern Conference Finals four times and gradually established themselves as a strong team. In 2000, he reached the finals under the leadership of Reggie Miller, but ultimately lost. That's the best result for the Pacers. They're not doing well or being bad in the East, and it's embarrassing to see that getting into the playoffs is generally a round trip and there's no chance of a lottery.

However, Indiana has long been a hub of basketball culture, so the people here are passionate about basketball.

Roy Hibbert, David West, Granger, George Hill, Masimmy, Gerard Green, Paul George, this is a lineup that the Pacers can handle, and many of them are players in their prime in the league, but they don't have a leader, a star.

And the rookie Paul George is the core player that the Pacers are ready to develop. It's been a long process, and while Paul George's progress has been evident this year, the Pacers are now an interior team dominated by Roy Hibbert and Danny Granger. This year, the Pacers' results are also not bad, and they are also very high in the East, and the players have played unexpectedly. Of course, this season, whether it was last year or this year, any rookie looks bleak in front of Duan Tianqing, and before the season is halfway through, Duan Tianqing has almost booked the position of the best rookie.

Duan Tianqing and the others returned to the hotel at four o'clock in the morning, and they were already exhausted from a high-intensity game and several hours of plane travel.

Almost all of them fall asleep as soon as they dip their pillows into it.

"Purr! Purr! "It was just dawning, and the snow reflected the sunlight and spilled into the house through the gaps in the curtains. Less than two hours after he slept, Duan Tianqing was woken up by the roaring snoring of the Green Machinery.

Duan Tianqing stared at Green with a dull face, I shouldn't fucking be in the same room with this bastard.

When NBA players play away from home, they also stay in ordinary rooms in hotels, and generally only big-name stars can enjoy separate luxury suites. None of the Warriors' players enjoyed this, as Curry chose to live with his teammates even though he was eligible for a separate room. Therefore, he and Bessmore lived next door to Duan Tianqing and Green.

I can't sleep, and you don't want to sleep! Duan Tianqing walked to Green's bedside, looked at Green's annoying face, and slapped him twice.

"Whew~! Call~! Green reached out and scratched his cheek, and went on sleeping in the dark.

Damn, this cheeky is really thick! Aren't you waking up?! Duan Tianqing was shocked by Green, "It's really cheeky!" ”

However, Duan Tianqing didn't plan to give up, so he took a few tissues and stacked them together and put them on top of Green's mouth and nose, and then took a sip of water from the movie and sprayed it on the tissues.

"Whew~snort!" Without a breath, Green almost suffocated.

When he opened up and saw Duan Tianqing gloating on the side of the bed, he immediately knew what was going on.

“oh！ shit！ Duan Tianqing, you bastard, you will kill me! Green roared angrily.

"Hahaha, you deserve it! Who made you snore and didn't let me sleep! ”

"It's not a prank anymore! You've gone too far, I'm going to teach you a lesson! Green took advantage of Duan Tianqing's inattention and punched Duan Tianqing in the stomach.

This time, Duan Tianqing didn't have time to react, he had no luck, and he was in pain when he punched him.

"Oh,! You're beating me! Duan Tianqing did not show weakness, and also punched over.

The two scuffled together again.

There was the sound of ping-pong in the room, as well as wailing and swearing. Curry and Betsmore next door were both awakened and hurried out to take a look.

The two of them leaned on the door and listened to the noise in the house.

"Hmph, tell you! Even in WWE, no one can beat me! You're still far from cleaning up! This was obviously Duan Tianqing's voice.

"Ah, bastard let go of me, I'm going to dislocate my arm!"

"You hit me with this arm just now, didn't you, then I'll take your arm off, see if you dare to be arrogant!?"

"What?! Bastard, you were the ones who wanted to murder me first! ”

"Isn't that because you're snoring and keep me awake!? You know I'm going to kill someone if I can't sleep well! ”

"Wait, what are you going to do!? Help me! help！ help！ Green screamed heartbreakingly.

At this time, Curry and Bezemore could no longer watch the show, and although it was a little funny, they were still ready to save Green's life.

"Duan! Don't make a fuss, open the door! ”

"Stephen! Come and save me! Green seemed to have grasped a lifeline.

No one came to open the door for a long time, only Green's screams were heard incessantly.

"Nothing will happen, will it?!" Bezemore said with some panic.

"Hahaha, it's okay, they're just joking!" Curry said with a grin.

In fact, Curry is really not too worried, because with his understanding of these two people, Green is generally a blind call.

After a moment, Green was silent.

After a while, Duan Tianqing came out and opened the door.

"Hah! Trap me! Duan Tianqing yawned as if nothing happened.

"Duan, Duan. Have you already killed Drummond?! Bezemore asked tremblingly. What a simple guy.

"yes, disturb my sleep, don't you damn it?!" Duan Tianqing said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Suck!" Bessmore gasped. I was seriously considering whether I wanted to call the police.

"Hahaha, Duan, don't scare him! Bezy the Cat, you believe that?! Curry said with a smile.

"I didn't believe it, but Drummond screamed so badly!" Betsmore scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Ha, I'm trapped, you can take this thing away! I went back to sleep! Duan Tianqing turned around and brought up a strange object.

Curry and Bezemore looked closely, only to see that the object was none other than Green, who had been tied up with flowers. His limbs were flipped to the back and tied together with sheets. A towel was stuffed in his mouth, and he could only cry silently in pain, and he couldn't shout.

"Poof!" Curry couldn't help but laugh. Green is like a crab that has been flipped over.

Duan Tianqing threw Green and Green's luggage out together, "Dare to hit me, this is the end!" ”

"Bang!" The door was closed, and Duan Tianqing could finally get a good night's sleep.

"Untie him, no one is allowed to disturb me until I wake up naturally, or I will really kill someone this time!"

Curry and Betsmore laughed as they untied Green, who broke free and lay on the ground for a few moments before getting up.

"Duan, you bastard, I won't let you go!" Green glared at Duan Tianqing's door, but he didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Hahahaha, I'll talk about this later, Drummond, you can make do with us! We're going to have a game in the evening! Rest fast! Curry said with a funny shake of his head.

"Great, Stephen, you're really different from that bastard Duan!" Green gratefully carried his luggage and followed Curry into the room.

However, soon, Curry and Betsmore understood Duan Tianqing's feelings.

The two hugged the quilt and sat on the bed and looked at each other.

I really want to kill him!

Green lay on the couch on all fours, and the noise he made alone was comparable to that of a busy street.

"Why didn't you find out before, why is he snoring so loudly today?!" Curry's expression was glazed.

"Ahh Bezemore was speechless with dark circles under her eyes.

In the end, when they gathered in the afternoon, Curry, Duan Tianqing, and Bezemore were all drowsy with panda eyes, and only Green was shining, and the three of them couldn't wait to swallow him alive.

"Cheer up! Today is the second game in a back-to-back! We'll be able to go home after the race! Matt Jackson encouraged when he saw that many of the players were listless.

"Oh!" There was exhaustion in her answer.

Although the Pacers are not popular, they are really good. They're playing steadily, with Roy Hibbert, David West, Granger, Paul George, not superstars, but they're all strong players.

The Golden State Warriors are most afraid of this kind of opponent, and the team's state today is worrying. The only three point guards, Duan Tianqing, Curry, and Bezemore, don't know why they all look like they can't wake up.

Matt Jackson looked anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Nor is he in control of the player's form.

"Coach, don't worry! We will win ... Hah! Curry dozed off.

“。。。” How do you win with a bunch of sleepy bugs? I was going to think you guys could blow up the Pacers' outside line, you wipe your saliva off first, Matt Jackson complained to himself.

Sure enough, the Warriors' unconsciousness remained until the start of the game.

Curry made two three-shots in the first three shots, and Duan Tianqing watched Paul George break through without a reaction.

"How weird?! Are they really warriors?! Paul George and team-mate David West said.

"They're not in the right shape, we might have played a fake Warriors!"

The Pacers have taken this opponent very seriously, and they have spent the morning studying the Warriors' tactics, important points. Especially in the video of yesterday's game with the rocket, they were amazed by Duan Tianqing's ability.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I fought tonight, it was like encountering a pirated version.

Are you sure that sleepy, swaying guy is the defender who claims that no one can break through?! What happened to Sharpshooter's Stephen Curry shooting a three-pointer?! Is the one who passed the ball straight to Paul George ready to mutiny?!

The opening game beat the opponent to 11-0, and the Pacers themselves were a little unconvinced. Matt Jackson scratched his head angrily.

"Pause! Time out! The Pacers couldn't make a shot, and Matt Jackson quickly called a timeout.

"Duan! What are you doing?! Paul George! You're defensive, you don't have to be too lazy to move, you can pull it! Matt Jackson said bitterly.

"And you, Stephen, don't throw if you don't feel good, why are you still so confident?! You've already voted for two threes! ”

"Guys, can we be steady?! From the next offensive round, we play inside and the ball is handled by David Lee! Matt Jackson immediately downgraded Duan Tianqing and Curry's tactical position to a notch.

"Damn Drummond!" Duan Tianqing, who was in poor spirits, complained. Disturbed by Green at the most critical moment of falling asleep, he never returned to his state, and his body had a feeling of fatigue.

This may not only be physical, but also mental. At the same time, the rest of the Warriors' players have also gone through back-to-back games.

But the problems caused by back-to-back are generally reflected in physical strength, which will erupt in the third or fourth quarter.

And the ball was handed over to David Lee, who is worthy of being the mainstay of the Warriors now, and quickly stabilized the situation.

The Warriors players were in a poor mental state and lacked passion, and the game was a bit dull, but in the second quarter, a sudden situation suddenly changed the pace of the game.

With six minutes and 10 seconds left in the half, the Pacers missed a shot, and David Lee and Hibbert both stood under the basket to grab the rebound. Hibbert secretly elbowed David Lee to get the rebound, but this action caused David Lee's displeasure.

"Hey, you're only going to make black elbows, softie!" Saying that, David Lee pushed Hibbert.

Hibbert was not good at stubble either, and immediately pushed back.

That's when the conflict broke out.

Stephen Curry saw the conflict and immediately ran over to dissuade him: "Hey! Calm down! He ran over and wanted to push away Hibbert, who was entangled with David Lee, but he didn't expect Hibbert to push Curry to the ground directly.

Curry's height and weight are no match for Hibbert at all, but he was pushed and his temper came up. A good temper doesn't mean a good bully, and he rushed forward again.

At this time, the scene was a little uncontrollable, and the players and staff of both teams ran to the middle of the field with emotion, and many people were entangled together.

And Curry rushed up for the second time, but was pitifully overturned by Hibbert.

"Nima!"

At this time, Duan Tianqing saw that the Warriors had suffered a loss, stood up from the bench, spit out the gum in his mouth, and walked to the court.
