In the jump shot, Foster took the win and the Pacers gained possession of the ball on their first offense.

Ford controlled, and Li Cheng quickly began to run without the ball. Ibaka quickly pulled out to cover for Li Cheng, and the Pacers' tactical routine was very clear.

The Warriors aren't a defensive powerhouse, and if they could have played up as well as their offense, they probably wouldn't have missed the playoffs last season after losing to the Nuggets in their final game.

This year, the pattern of the west being strong and the east being weak is still relatively obvious, but the overall strength of the east and west has been reduced to a certain extent.

The sudden rise of the Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who continue to strengthen the championship-aspiring Cleveland Cavaliers, the Orlando Magic, who have been a league powerhouse for the past two years, and the defending champion Boston Celtics.

These four teams in the East are recognized as strong teams in the East, but whether the Pacers are really strong or not still needs to be verified by the game.

The Pacers' first offense of the regular season, many pairs of eyes were fixed on them.

In the preseason, the Pacers have always been for the purpose of training newcomers, but when their main lineup is complete, there are still some very beautiful combinations, and the strength of the Pacers should be much stronger than last season.

However, everyone still has to observe the strength of the Pacers through the test of the regular season, after all, in the regular season, the Pacers will show some real skills.

In the first attack, Ibaka covered Li Cheng, and Li Cheng swept past Ibaka.

There was a gap on Li Cheng's side, and based on past experience, the Warriors' overall defense moved in the direction of Li Cheng, and Li Cheng must not be given a chance to shoot in an open position.

Ford's pass was not enough for Li Cheng, but was immediately thrown to Ibaka, who was in the direction of Li Cheng.

On a mid-range jumper on the left wing, Ibaka easily hit two points.

The Pacers' first goal of the new season did not come from Li Cheng, but it was the cooperation between Ibaka and Li Cheng.

The fans at the scene burst into warm applause. The hormones that had been accumulated over the summer completely erupted in this one.

The first goal detonated the atmosphere of the scene, and the popularity of the Conseus Center is now visible.

Foster, as he did last season, did what he could on the inside, and worked hard.

The addition of Ibaka has raised the Pacers' interior defense and outside strategy to a higher level, Ibaka is still just a rookie, but O'Brien's task assigned to him is not complicated.

The development of these rookies is not the result of O'Brien's own thinking, but a development plan that Larry Bird has given O'Brien after careful consideration.

Larry Bird knows that O'Brien doesn't have a high level of talent when it comes to training rookies, so he doesn't feel comfortable leaving these rookies to O'Brien to handle.

At this point. Larry Bird was very prescient. And his thorough analysis of these rookies is also staggering.

What the Pacers are asking Ibaka to do these days is more about playing with his physical and character traits. Relying on Ibaka's mid-range shooting and his tough defensive attitude, and establishing cooperation with Li Cheng, it is more that Li Cheng gives Ibaka a chance to create a zào.

Next is the Warriors' offense, and in the Pacers' defensive system, Li Cheng's role is still the least obvious. Li Cheng's defensive attitude is still good, he really doesn't have time to practice defensive skills now, but he relies on his grown body and his own awareness. In the Pacers' defensive system, it can also be done without dragging everyone down.

Defense is something that can be practiced, but offense cannot. Despite Lee's talent, he is still young after all, and O'Brien and Larry Bird are interested in Lee's abilities. But they can expect how terrifying Li Cheng will be after he taps all his potential.

For the Warriors' defense, the Pacers' roster is very scattered, and it is clear that they want to defend the Warriors from the outside.

As for the Warriors' breakthrough, it was natural that Ibaka and Granger would go to make up for it. Li Cheng only needs to do his own thing.

However, this time the defense was made by Li Cheng, and the ball that Monta Ellis dropped to the inside was directly cut off by Li Cheng.

Then Li Cheng directly dribbled and launched a fast attack, and now Li Cheng's ball control is very skillful. In the NBA, no one dares to break the ball when Li Cheng is dribbling. If the center of gravity of the defender moves forward, Li Cheng will be able to immediately grasp the flaw, and then clean up the defender.

Li Cheng was dribbling the ball and advancing quickly, and Granger was already like a top sports car with the accelerator pedaled to the bottom, and he was quickly inserted into the Warriors' basket.

Li Cheng calculated the timing and threw the ball to the Warriors' basket at a distance of about a meter outside the three-point line.

Stephen Jackson, who was beside Li Cheng at this time, felt that Li Cheng's choice of this fast break was too big, and in such a fast attack, Li Cheng should choose the safest way to handle the ball.

However, Li Cheng chose an extremely risky air relay, which is undoubtedly unwise.

Stephen Jackson was waiting for his teammates to organize this empty catch from Granger, but the scene was followed by an earth-shattering cheer.

It's been a long time since there have been such enthusiastic cheers at the Conseus Center, and in the first game of the new season, Li Cheng scored two goals in a row. But Li Cheng's first goal of the new season has not yet arrived.

The Pacers started the game with a 4-0 lead, but the Warriors continued to attack.

Indiana fans who really want to see Lee Cheng perform will have to hold back their temper, and they will first have to expect the Pacers to complete another successful defense.

"Defend, defend, defend—" The Conseth Center shuddered, and the cheers of the crowd were so shocking.

Stephen Jackson received a pass from Ellis, and then he began to hit Li Cheng hard.

The Warriors' fast break didn't work, and their pick-and-roll didn't open up great space, so they had to go alone.

And the choice of singles is naturally the defensive black hole that Li Cheng, the Pacers, has always had.

However, in the past, Li Cheng was defending the black hole, and a large part of the reason was that his body was too weak, but now his body has become stronger and stronger, and he has seen more and more defenses. Therefore, his one-on-one defense will no longer be eaten by the opponent's brainlessness.

Stephen Jackson leaned his back against Li Cheng and wanted to use his strength to squeeze into the inside.

Li Cheng was bumped by Stephen Jackson and took a step back unnaturally. Stephen Jackson sneered, "The strength is really insufficient. ”

Then he exerted all his strength and wanted to knock Li Cheng away at once. But this time, Li Cheng suddenly withdrew. A very perfect "stool drop" defense, Stephen Jackson's body stumbled backwards.

Li Cheng was quick and quickly broke the ball in Stephen Jackson's hand.

"It's the Pacers' fast break again!"

"Li Cheng made another steal, it was so beautiful, Li Cheng didn't have any defenders in front of him, he went straight down with the ball."

Li Cheng was smiling secretly in his heart, "I can't even feel the removal of the stool, and you still beat me alone?" ”

And when Li Cheng dribbled the ball and went straight to the opponent's basket first, the fans at the scene had already begun to shout Li Cheng's nickname frantically.

"God of War! Come on! ”

"God of War! Come on! ”

"God of War--here's one-"

Li Cheng tilted his head to the side and smiled, and then his right foot stepped into the reasonable collision zone, and then he stepped out in two steps, and his feet slammed into the ground. His body spun in the air, and after his body rotated 180 degrees, Li Cheng smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.

The basket was trembling, and Li Cheng waved his hands back and forth at the audience after landing on the ground. Li Cheng was quick and quickly broke the ball in Stephen Jackson's hand.

"It's the Pacers' fast break again!"

"Li Cheng made another steal, it was so beautiful, Li Cheng didn't have any defenders in front of him, he went straight down with the ball."
