The San Antonios are now full of confidence, and their goal now is the Rockets, then the Heat, and most recently, the Lakers!

The Lakers' record of 33 straight wins was too far away, so they set their sights on the Rockets.

Of course, the most important thing for the Spurs now is to stabilize the atmosphere of the team and not be in a hurry. For Duncan, it may not be too much of a problem, but for young people like Chen Feng, it is a big problem. After all, young people are sharper! But mood swings can also be more intense!

Three days later! The San Antonio people host the Indiana Pacers at their home arena, ATT Center.

The Pacers are also a relatively friendly team for Chen Feng! Because of Paul George, the relationship between the two teams is also relatively harmonious. (Expect the pickled pepper to make a perfect return, alas!) It's a pity! ）

For the Pacers, the Spurs dare not be careless, their quality should not be underestimated, and the team's back-to-back Eastern Conference Finals under the leadership of George and Hibbert are enough to prove their ability.

Compared with last season, the Pacers have made great strides this season, both offensively and defensively. Defensively, in particular, did a very good job. Of course, because of Turner and Stephenson, the team doesn't seem to be too friendly internally. But at least so far, none of this has been reflected.

And their record has also improved a lot because of their hard work, and as of now, they are ranked first in the East. This is a very good result for them.

Spurs are serious about tonight's game because the opposition defense is very fierce indeed. Although there are no super defensive players in the team, they have played super team defense under the leadership of Paul George, which makes other teams have to pay attention.

And Paul George has also changed his personal style this season, organizing the team's offense more and participating in the team's defense. His almost perverted physicality also makes his defense look fierce.

Spurs coach Popovich also attaches great importance to this game and to Vogel as an opponent.

This game. For the entire Spurs spurs. It is destined to be another fierce battle.

The game started at nine o'clock sharp, and the Indiana Pacers' starting lineup was: center Roy Hibbert, power forward David West, and small forward Paul George. Scoring guard Stephenson. Organizational defender George Hill.

On the Spurs' side. Center Favors, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Leonard. Scoring guard Chen Feng, organizing guard Parker.

The ball was thrown high, two strong sweats, when the ball rose to the top, roared, like a rocket in the air, the two arms, under the dazzling lights of the NB court and countless flashing lights, the figures of the two people looked unusually tall, and even the expressions of their faces were revealed in the central screen.

"Bang" and "Bang" were almost in no particular order, and the two touched the basketball at the same time. The tense muscles and the sweat of the face became the focus of the court.

Derek Favors finally won the game and flicked the ball to Chen Feng's side, but the ball was obviously affected just now, and only flew a small step away, and it fell straight to the floor.

At this time, the ball is between Leonard and Paul George, Paul George is also physically strong, with strong upper limbs, strong shoulders, good running ability, fast physical fitness, not afraid of confrontation, and solid chassis.

"Bang" The two collided together, perhaps because of the lack of preparation, Leonard's body was knocked out of the body at once, and the ball was snatched by Paul George.

Paul George didn't stick to the ball too much, and with a gentle lift on the bottom of the basketball, the ball quickly changed direction and the target was directed at George Hill.

George Hill quickly took the ball across the halfcourt, but the opportunity he was expecting did not appear, Chen Feng appeared in front of him at the first time, and George Hill did not dare to slack off in the slightest for Chen Feng's meticulous defense.

Seeing that George Hill couldn't break through a few times, Stephenson quickly pulled out and made a simple block with George Hill.

Although Chen Feng had already defended this hand, when he faced Stephenson's, he was still completely blocked, watching George Hill hand the ball to the inside, and Paul George successfully won the ball after running back on the baseline and passed to Roy Hibbert on the outside, scoring in the middle shot.

Looking at the opponent's smooth attack, Chen Feng's fighting spirit became more and more vigorous, but he didn't expect Derek Favors to be on fire in his heart at this time, the more fierce the fighting spirit in his heart, the calmer the appearance of the two of them, and they looked at each other and smiled slightly.

The game has just begun, and Chen Feng wants to let his opponent know who is the real owner of this stadium.

In the home court of the Spurs, no matter who the opponent is, the tiger must lie down, the dragon must also be coiled, and the home court of the Spurs cannot tolerate anyone's wildness.

The Spurs' possession, Chen Feng quickly took the ball through the half court after receiving the ball, compared to the Pacers' defense, their offensive ability is slightly inferior, especially in the team's overall movement speed, the Spurs have the upper hand, after all, this is a team that focuses on defense, and their philosophy is that the opponent scores less than themselves, and that's it!

Chen Feng didn't seem to be in a hurry to break through, and stayed at the top of the arc for a while, although the time was extremely short, but it was enough for the Pacers players to react.

Stephenson stretched out his arms, bent lower limbs, a pair of dark eyes, staring at Chen Feng tightly, especially his shoulder movements, any movement of the player, can be seen from the sensation of the shoulder, some players who are better at breaking through, but the action of the shoulder is more hidden, plus a series of previous feints, it gives people a feeling of being difficult to guard, how to accurately judge the next move of the offensive player, is the basic ability that any defensive player should have.

The sound of "squeak" sneakers rubbing against the floor allowed Stephenson to accurately judge the direction of Chen Feng's breakthrough, and the right wing would definitely not be wrong.

However, although Stephenson judged the direction of Chen Feng's breakthrough, after breaking the direction of Chen Feng's breakthrough, Chen Feng was not surprised, but flipped his wrist and the ball in his hand disappeared.

Leonard's three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the left wing hit an easy shot.

Offense and defense were shifted, the Pacers quickly drove the ball across the half, George Hill handed the ball to Stephenson, and Stephenson looked at Chen Feng, who was waiting at the three-point line, with a focused expression.

Stephenson's mentality is still relatively stable, it doesn't look like he lacks roots, he is not reckless, he tried to break through several times, but Chen Feng resolved them one by one, and immediately passed the ball out, without blindly acting recklessly.

The Pacers' offense wasn't fast-paced, and with Stephenson delaying time on several breakaways, the ball was in the hands of Paul George, leaving only five seconds left in the offensive time.

Seeing that the Pacers' offense was running out, after Paul George received the ball, he decisively controlled the ball and inserted it inside, and Leonard immediately stepped forward to defend, using his slender arms to firmly block Paul George's cutting direction.

Leonard knows that as long as he doesn't give him a chance to shoot, that is, he will send the ball to his teammates, and his task has been achieved, to know that as the twenty-four seconds approach, it is difficult for any team holder to calm down, in a short period of time, the ball must be thrown, even if there is a good opportunity, I am afraid I will not pay attention, in this case the hit rate can be imagined.

"Bang dang", Roy Hibbert turned around and shot after receiving the ball, leaving him only two seconds to attack, but unfortunately Derrick Favors' super long arm span almost completely blocked his vision, unable to see the specific position of the basket, only with the feeling of throwing the ball out, smashed in the front of the rebound and jumped high.

The Pacers' interior players jumped up at the same time to grab the rebound, and Derrick Favors, who was sandwiched in the middle, managed to get space to jump, but apparently with several players around, his chances of getting the rebound were low.

However, they seem to have despised Derrick Favors' explosiveness, clenched teeth, and bruised faces, and even came from behind to get in touch with the rebound, and what is even more surprising is that Derrick Favors did not grab the rebound, but used his fingers to pull the ball directly out of the air.

The relationship between the Spurs players for most of the season has made the Spurs players full of tacit understanding, especially Chen Feng, Duncan, Derrick Favors and Leonard.

The moment Derrick Favors touched the ball with his fingers, his heart moved, and he knew that even if he took off the rebound, he was afraid that he would fall into the bag of the opponent's three players, and it would be difficult for the ball to pass out, so he simply pulled the ball out of the air directly, and he believed that his partner Chen Feng could easily receive the ball.

The position is right, and the direction is right, but unfortunately Derek Favors's force seems to be a little too much, and the ball seems to land a little far.

Popovich sighed secretly, Derrick Favors chose very wisely just now, but the time was not good, the force of the ball was too strong, otherwise it was definitely a chance to break fast, at this time Leonard was already almost down to the Pacers' half, and the opponent's half was empty at this time.

Seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of the bottom line, Chen Feng flew up, the whole person was almost parallel in the air, and at the moment when the ball flew out of the sideline, the ball was scooped up, and with a flick of his hand, the ball flew over most of the court to Leonard's hands, Leonard flew to dunk and completed an excellent defensive counterattack.

In the face of the fierce rival Pacers, the Spurs made three military lives, and at the beginning of the game, with a desperate defense, the Pacers could not find the rhythm of the offense, and missed four shots in a row, looking at the 11:5 of the scoreboard, Vogel reluctantly called a timeout.
