Chapter 200 Battle Pacers 1

"Fans in front of the TV, let's take a look at the Knicks' starters, Liang Xiao is still sitting on the bench, the Pacers' starters are center Brad Miller, the big front is O'Neal Jr., small forward Artest, the quarterback is Reggie Miller, the point guard is Jamar Tinsley, the Pacers' lineup is really strong, I don't know who won this game in the end, if the Knicks can win at home, it will have to pay a great price."

"Now the Pacers are the first in the East, and the Knicks are still quite difficult, but the Pacers are playing back-to-back, and there are still big problems in terms of physical fitness."

"Back-to-back or not, I think the Pacers are definitely the most capable team in the championship race, and now that the Knicks are at home at home, it's up to them to put on a good game for us."

The host of the court TV commentary is not very optimistic about the possibility of the Knicks' victory, although the Knicks are playing at home, but in the past history, the Pacers have always targeted the Knicks' Madison, Reggie Miller has staged more than one Miller moment here, and the grievances here can be said to be countless.

Brad Miller and Harrington jump the ball in the middle circle, for the scarce center in the East, Brad Miller is really a good hand, although there is no strong firepower in scoring, but in the East, there is really no center can compete with Brad Miller, in the previous life, the All-Star in 2003, in the center position, Ben Wallace said that the East is the first, Ilgoskas and Brad can be said to be the second, the era without a center is absolutely not to be able to compete, In his previous life, because the Knicks did not have an excellent center and had poor strength on the inside, they finally recruited Uncle Mu to the team to fight against Garnett and O'Neal inside.

Harrington was obviously behind Brad after taking off, and in the back-to-back games, Brad did not lose at all in terms of physical fitness to Harrington, who was resting at home, and directly dialed the ball from Harrington in the air to his side, and O'Neal Jr. grabbed the ball and gave it to point guard Tinsley,

Although Tinsley, who was born in streetball, is not as famous as Alston and Marbury in streetball, he is not ambiguous at all in the NBA, has good physical fitness, combines speed and ball control, and has excellent breakthrough ability. He averaged 7.8 points, 7.5 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.

The Pacers are an excellent team on the inside, after Tinsley advanced to the frontcourt, it was not the team's core Reggie who launched the first offense, the ball was sent by Tinsley to the little shark on the inside, O'Neal backed Thomas and asked, he hit the low post, a turn, the ball was sent out in the hands of O'Neal Jr., Gibbs hooked hand is not a regular projection, it is sent out, Thomas was under the top of O'Neal Jr., did not defend, although the first ball in the opening game was sent out by O'Neal Jr., Apparently luck wasn't on the Pacers' side tonight, and the ball popped up and was picked up directly by Sprewell,

The madman walked forward quickly, all the Pacers players returned to defense in time, but the Pacers were mainly players on the inside, only Reggie and Tinsley on the guard line had time, and the defensive maniac's Atay followed the madman like a bread man, and he couldn't catch up with the madman's footsteps at all, Houston and the madman were advancing in parallel at the same time, Tinsley wanted to interfere with the madman's layup, but the madman didn't give him a chance, although few people on the one-on-one could eat this very physical pg, But the madman is not a point guard but a small forward, in the position of the three-second zone, Liang Xiao only saw the madman flying up, as if he had learned Wudang's Tiyun Zong, and after two steps, he suddenly changed from Tinsley's left to the right, and flew into a violent dunk,

Liang Xiao and the players on the bench all stood up, waving towels, "Good job, drive these Pacers guys back to Indiana." At this time, there was a black man with black-rimmed glasses behind the bench who was even more arrogant: "Okay, kill these ** guys and let them know that this is the home court of the Knicks." Liang Xiao knew that this was Spike Lee, a diehard Knicks loyalist, and after so many games, Liang Xiao had already gotten used to the clamor of this fan.

Although the first ball was earned by the Knicks, the atmosphere at home was suddenly hot, but Thomas, the head coach of the Pacers, was still smiling on the sidelines, laughing with the people in the uniform group around him, obviously not affected by this ball, smiling assassin, it is really appropriate to describe it, I don't know when this former bad boy will give the Knicks a blow, Van Gundy looked at the Knicks players on the court on the sidelines, and kept writing down something in his little book,

The Pacers were hit by a counterattack and did not receive any impact, Brand served, Tinsley continued to advance, Easley, as the point guard of the Knicks, chose to defend himself defensively, Easley's body could not be compared with the opponent at all, "Hey, old guy, you need to stick so tightly, I'm not interested in an old man like you, I won't attack this ball, don't say I bullied you old man," Easley didn't respond to Tinsley's trash talk, close to the defense, It's not necessarily said on the court that this is what you do, the most famous is Glove Payton, saying I shot and I shot, but you don't know which of his words is true, playing next to him your nerves must be thick,

Tinsley really didn't choose to come by himself, I don't know if it was his own shooting half-tone or fulfillment of his words, Reggie broke through immediately after receiving the ball, for an all-round player like Reggie, three-point, running, breakthrough everything, the ball in the hands of such a person must be paid attention to, Houston approached directly in front of Reggie to prevent this guy from sneaking up on three points with a cold arrow, Houston has not received such a shame, so for this opponent who has fought countless times, Move to know what kind of action the other party is going to do next,

Reggie broke through the ball against Houston, the ball was in Brad's hand and then a small jump, Harrington on the inside missed the best defensive opportunity in a small jump from Brad, and the ball was sent to the basket.

Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, was obviously dissatisfied with his interior players, although this was the second ball, and the Pacers' interior was strong enough for the Knicks to resist, "Hey, joint defense, you don't know what joint defense is, I want to tell you, there is no next, absolutely nothing." Van Gundy shouted at Thomas and Harrington on the sidelines on the sidelines,

On the Knicks' side, Houston received the ball and began to fight against Reggie, no one is better than each other, for Houston, it is actually better in terms of physical function, but the two are just a moment of brightness, Houston did not get a good opportunity and had to be transferred to the hands of the madman, the Knicks' double guns are very strong tonight on the ** to win, especially against a team like the Pacers, Houston is very wishful and passionate, and the madman is also handy for such a big scene,

The defensive madman is Artest, who changed his name in his previous life, and now he is still stepping on crab steps like in his previous life, squeezing the madman with his body to prevent a breakthrough, the madman knows that Artai's speed is obviously a defect, and it is his own stupidity not to grasp such an opportunity, Atai is a little sullen with the pendulum dribble in front of the madman, "Hey, I will definitely give you a big hat for your ball, the big hat knows, don't transport it in front of me." ”

The madman obviously didn't eat this set, "Big man, are you a little out of breath, look at it, how can I live with you." Atai was about to say who couldn't hold his breath, the madman seized this opportunity, the ball pulled to the right hand, was about to break through on the left, Atai really ate this set, as a result of the madman went to the bottom line, the Pacers' inside line is very strong, Brand immediately spread his arms beside the madman, not letting the madman get to the basket, but the madman is not a vegetarian, after the basket a lever, the ball rubbed on the board, rolled into the basket,

In the first quarter of the game, the Knicks bore the main offensive firepower, on the inside, the Knicks' Thomas and Harrington, compared to O'Neal Jr. and Brad, are much weaker, on the offensive end, Thomas was defended by O'Neal Jr. and had no chance to shoot, the little shark's arm was waiting for Thomas's ball at any time, and after being blocked, Thomas became cautious, and Harrington could only selectively publish books outside the three-second zone under Brad's defense, Brad, a guy who has the ability to shoot in the three-second zone, made Harrington's shot opportunities also sharply reduced, the Knicks had to look for opportunities to shoot on the outside, Houston was also a lot less than usual under Reggie's defense, but the madman was handy in his position, and he had a great advantage in speed, and beat Atay to no temper, and finally Isaiah Thomas had to let Atay rest, because relying on the body against the speed player, the physical consumption is very large,

The Pacers' side mainly scores on the inside, O'Neal Jr. is a man who shoots left and right on the inside, and shoots near the free throw line are very accomplished, plus Brand, the two are absolutely dominant on the inside, the Knicks' interior line is simply rare to catch frontcourt rebounds, and can only inadvertently catch the ball that bounces far, on the outside line, Artay's body is a strong point, although there is no advantage in defense, but there is it on the offensive end, plus Reggie's occasional shots, there are 4 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, With the score on top of a three-point gap, Van Gundy called a timeout and began a tactical reconfiguration of the game.
