"The Pacers made 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, bombarded indiscriminately, and the Hawks were caught off guard!" The Los Angeles Times.

"The original weakness has become a monolith, and it is difficult to capture the Pacers' interior again!" The Washington Post reports.

"New signings, new arrivals, excellent play, Larry Bird successfully found the inside gate for the Pacers" Indiana Local reported "The rise of the big bug? Is this the beginning of the legend, or is it a repeat of another hoax? The New York Times said sourly.

Early the next morning, almost every sports newspaper in the United States reported on the Pacers' game yesterday.

However, the Pacers still can't break through the Lakers' blockade and get to the top of the league, because the Lakers also won yesterday.

The Celtics in the back have just finished the Magic, and they are still closely following the Pacers, 23-6, 23-5 with the Pacers, only half a win in the middle, the Pacers must be careful! What's more, the Cavaliers behind him, the Magic and the Hawks did not pull away, at this time the Cavaliers have a record of 24-8, the Magic is 22-8, and the Hawks are 21-8, originally he was in third, but after losing to the Pacers, he fell to fifth in the East.

The top eight in the east are very competitive, and it is almost possible to reach the top eight positions if the win rate reaches more than 50%.

However, the competition for the top five is really much more fierce than that in the West, and now the Lakers in the West have some unique martial arts meaning, even if they lose to the Cavaliers in the Christmas War, they still sit firmly in the first position in the league and the first in the West.

121-110, the Pacers successfully defeated the Hawks at home, and only scored 50 points in the first two quarters, while the Pacers scored a total of 71 points in the second half, and 41 of them were scored in the fourth quarter, and the first 30 points of these 41 points are a true portrayal of the Pacers' indiscriminate bombardment in the second half...... The Pacers didn't score a single 20 points, but they easily pulled the Hawks down, the Hawks' Horford had a game-high 25 points and 14 rebounds, Joe Johnson 24 points, Josh Smith 22 points, Jamal Crawford 19 points, Mike Bibby was shot in the air, and only 6 points were scored in 102 of the game. Another starter, Marvin Williams...... Uh, they all said that he made soy sauce, so you don't have to care about his existence.

On the Pacers' side, on the other hand, this is called the real firepower all over the court. Troy Murphy's 19 points and 12 rebounds were the highest points in the game, Granger 17 points, Dunleavy 12 points, Hansbro 10 points, Hyde 10 points, Zhang Kong 13 points, 13 assists and 6 blocks, Dundee Jones 10 points, Al Jefferson 10 points and 8 rebounds, Big Worm Milicic 8 points, 3 blocks and 6 rebounds, Tyrus Thomas 6 points and 4 rebounds, Earl Barron 4 points and 4 rebounds, for the first time, the Pacers are so strong in rebounding, and Hibbert's 6 points and 6 rebounds, The Hawks grabbed a total of 37 rebounds as a team, while the Pacers grabbed 52 rebounds as a team, which greatly exceeded the rebounds of the Hawks from this game.

I don't dare to say that the Pacers' interior line is not good! And these new signings are officially in Jim O'Brien's sights, just after the victory, but the Pacers didn't have time to celebrate, or even have time to summarize the state of the new signings, they had a night's rest and flew to Miami the next day.

No matter what you think of the current Pacers team, only Zhang Kong knows that the current Pacers have not completed the run-in success, and they have not been the first in the league, and there is nothing rare after being once.

Now the team has positioned itself as a playoff team, so in order to run in the team, of course, the games that can be won must be won, but if the form is not very good, then learn to prepare to play against the wind.

This time against the Heat, the Pacers are more unreliable, the last game, the first quarter of the thirty points, but this time, the Pacers were depressed, from the cold north, flying to this city full of blue sky, beaches, bikinis, for a while the Pacers players have some unbearable, I don't know who brought it up, anyway, after arriving here, there are a lot of players who have a cold, the cold is not a major illness, but it will definitely affect the performance.

Coupled with the new signings, the last game was a bit too hard, plus the original physical exertion, after all, they had just flown in from their respective teams the day before yesterday, and then completed the experience and press conference in one day, and got up again after not sleeping for a few hours.

In this situation, they also had some struggles, and finally the Pacers collapsed on the home court of the Heat.

114-111, a three-point gap, with the final empty three-point miss, the game officially ended, and the Pacers had to accept the shame of losing two consecutive losses to Miami this season, and today Dundee Jones caught a cold, allowing Mike Dunleavy to start the No. 2 defense against Wade.

As a result, the opponent cut 25 points in the third quarter, and directly pressed the Pacers to the ground and beat them wildly, and in the fourth quarter, Zhang Kong switched to the No. 2 position to defend Wade, although Wade didn't score a point, but it also let him pass a few good shots.

Against a player like Wade, either you let him score, or you let him pass, you can't neither let him score nor let him pass, Zhang Kong chose not to let the opponent score, he did a good job, but in the end the Pacers still lost miserably.

Zhang Kong scored 24 points in one game plus 8 assists and 8 blocks in a game when he didn't feel good on his side.

But there was still no way to win the game, and in the end he shot a three-pointer in front of Wade, and the basketball still missed, so there was no trick.

In terms of new signings, Earl Baron and Tyrus Thomas did not perform very well, Al Jefferson is a level of 89 after all, and he scored 13 points in this game with plenty of playing time, which is considered a spiritual leader on the inside, and Milicic, a good big worm in the last game, also performed well in this game, getting 10 points and 7 rebounds.

This kind of data is not gorgeous for an inside line, and the most interesting thing is that his defense is very powerful.

This subverts everyone's impression of Milicic, in the impression that this guy is lazy and famous, his defense, can only be summed up in one word, that is, 'rotten', this is not an exaggeration at all, he has been in the Pistons for so long, he has not improved at all, but after coming to the Pacers, everyone found that this guy's defense is ...... It's very strong.

Although they lost this game, the Pacers didn't care too much, mainly because the Celtics also lost the game.

They lost on both sides, with the natural pacers still standing and the Celtics missing their chance to overtake.

Of course, one or two games are not enough to explain the problem, on the plane, Jim O'Brien had a brief meeting, talked about the team's tactics, there is no way, after playing the Heat, they took a night of rest in Miami, and then immediately flew to Chicago, probably in the first half, the schedule on the Pacers' side was a little too comfortable, so the league arranged a lot of games for the Pacers in the middle of the season, and it is very common to have back-to-backs, or even back-to-backs.

In November, they only played a total of 13 games, and basically all of them were against weak teams, and in December they will play 16 games, of which nine are won by teams with a winning percentage of more than 50%, and the rest of the teams are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Like the Clippers who nearly knocked them over, the Bobcats who beat them at home, the Grizzlies who have been playing more smoothly lately, and the Bucks who have been sharper in attack since joining Jennings...... The following game, judging from the current situation, should not be difficult to play.

Because next they're going to be in Chicago, just 200 kilometers from Indianapolis, where they're going to face the Bulls, and it's not just a simple game, it's more likely to be the outcome of the All-Star vote.

Now the All-Star voting is underway, the battle in the East is still very fierce, LeBron James is a lone star in the East, behind him is the Green Army's big forward Kevin Garnett, behind Garnett is Paul Pierce, and then Chris Bosh, this season because of the arrival of Zhang Kong, the Pacers have gained a lot of popularity, which also makes Granger closely behind Bosh, it is not easy to be an All-Star starter, but it is not too difficult to be selected as an All-Star.

In terms of Eastern guards, Wade is still temporarily ranked first, but the gap between Zhang Kong behind him and him is shrinking rapidly, and now there is only more than 7,000 votes left, Zhang Kong will surpass Wade to become the first person on the guard line, and behind Zhang Kong is Rose and Rondo, but Wade and Zhang Kong, although there is a difference in height, Wade is playing point guard, and Zhang Kong is playing point guard, there is no interference between the two, only that Rose and Rondo are both point guards.

If Rose can pull Zhang Kong off the horse in this game, he will be selected as an All-Star, which will be an extra chip.

But the Pacers didn't think too much about it, they need to run in the team, but it's not about losing the game to run in.

So in this game, even if it is on the opponent's home court, the Pacers will definitely not give in, they want to let the Bulls taste the bitter fruit of defeat on their home court, and land in the airport in Chicago with the roar of the plane.

The Pacers got out of the plane...... Due to Miami's hot and humid ocean climate, they still prefer such cold weather, because they are used to it, and sitting on the team's bus, the Pacers are all holding their breath.

"Kill the bull!" Although no one said it, in their hearts, everyone silently recited this sentence.

Xiao Fei just let the puppet old lady give it to me~ There is a steamed bun in Harbin, called the old man's buns, buddies in Harbin may know that dozens of chain stores have been opened, and the taste is not bad, Xiao Fei wants to eat this thing recently, looking around. As a result, it was too far away from the couple's house, and the nearest one was three stops, so I never ate it.

Today, my mother told my puppet that there was a new one downstairs in our house, and it was there around the corner, and said that Xiao Fei would buy a bucket of soybean oil by the way after eating, and Xiao Fei went out without thinking too much...... Who knows that I haven't arrived after walking for one stop, and I haven't arrived for another stop, so I called back, and the old lady told me that I haven't arrived yet, so let's go forward! As a result, I walked three stops to eat, and after eating, I went home to buy a barrel of oil, and Xiaofei was tired, but I checked it on the Internet, and that place was the place that Xiaofei checked at the beginning...... Xiao Fei, this is called a tearful cow!
