"Reggie, it doesn't look like the Pacers are going to be too good against a Spurs who are in great form. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The focus of the battle between the Spurs and the Pacers is naturally indispensable for the national broadcast, and the four big mouths of TNT are sitting on the sidelines at this time, and after the Pacers fell into passivity on the court, Barkley immediately said to former Pacers leader Reggie Miller.

At 15:9, the Spurs continued their good form of 17 consecutive wins after the start of the game, and although the first quarter only played about half a quarter, the Pacers were already seven points behind the Spurs.

However, Reggie Miller is clearly still supporting the Pacers he once played for, and after hearing Barkley's words, he immediately replied: "Charles, don't you think it's too early? Now it's only the first quarter, and the Spurs are shooting very well after the game starts, but with the Pacers' defense strengthened, I believe the situation on the court will change." ”

"You're really sure that in a few minutes, when both teams come off the bench, the Pacers will be able to change the situation on the court. O'Neill immediately interjected.

Reggie Miller's expression froze, and he said stiffly: "Maybe, who knows?"

After Reggie Miller finished speaking, the other three TNT all laughed, everyone knows how good the Spurs' bench players are, in addition to the bench lineup is deep enough, and there are the strongest contenders for the sixth man of the season like Li Yang, Reggie Miller's answer is obviously hard-mouthed.

"No, I'm wrong, it's true that in minutes, the Pacers look like they can change the situation right now. At this time, Reggie Miller suddenly shouted.

There was indeed some change on the court at this point, and while a few people were chatting, Paul George's breakaway layup not only hit, but also caused Duncan's foul, playing a two-and-one.

In this game, it was Leonard who was in charge of playing against George, Leonard had been defending well until then, George had only had two shots before, and scored two points on one shot. But just now, with the help of starting center Hibbert's pick-and-roll, George got rid of Leonard's defense and entered the interior.

At 16:12, George's two-plus-one hit allowed the Pacers to narrow the gap to just four points.

The Spurs launched an offense, Duncan tried to force a shot on the inside, and as Hibbert grew over the past two years, the Pacers' defense on the interior became very good. Fortunately, back on the other end, the Spurs also defended the Pacers' offense.

The Spurs attacked again, Parker and Duncan broke through after dismantling, and the ball went to Split, who followed up to the basket, and Split received the ball and made a layup, and it was Hibbert again, and the timely defense directly blocked Split's shot.

The Pacers' starting point guard George Hill got the basketball, the Pacers launched a counterattack, the ball was handed to Paul George, with the help of Hibbert's block, George hit the three-point line again, although the Spurs' defense contracted quickly and did not let George rush to the basket, but George found an opportunity to send the ball back to Hill outside the three-point line.

Hill hit a three-pointer to close the gap to one point at 16:15, and the Spurs called a timeout.

"Hey, guys, lo and behold, as soon as the Pacers' defensive intensity came up, the margin narrowed. Seeing the Pacers close the gap, Reggie Miller immediately shouted.

Hearing his shouting, Kenny Smith also immediately responded: "But Reggie, I think the Spurs will make adjustments immediately, maybe they will send Li Yang on the court, which will make their attack stronger." ”

Kenny Smith's words were also echoed by several other TNT players, and Popovich, who was on the sidelines at this time, did send Li Yang on the court, not only to send Li Yang, but Popovich also sent Ginobili at this time, replacing Split and Danny Green, and Popovich changed to a large and four small lineup at this time.

"Kawai continues to defend Paul George, Young, you go to the opposing power forward, we need to speed up, you need to be more on the inside to grab rebounds and then launch a counterattack. When falling into the position, Tony, Manudo and Thiem played blocks and pick-and-rolls to bring the opposing big man out, and Young and Kawai found opportunities from these two positions to cut to the basket. ”

With that, Popovich circled the waist and baseline positions on both sides of the tactical board.

After Popovich's arrangement, the timeout was over and the players from both sides were back on the field.

On the other side, the Pacers still use the starting lineup, with center Roy Hibbert, power forward David West, small forward George Hill, scoring Lance Stephenson, and point guard George Hill.

So at this time, the Spurs with adjustments on this side immediately attracted the attention of the commentators on the sidelines.

"Oh, the Spurs have switched to their most lethal big four, hey, Reggie, do you think the Pacers can still defend well?"

Reggie Miller looked at the Spurs five who walked on the court, and was a little worried about the Pacers' defense, but he still said toughly: "Of course, the Spurs' lineup may be very mobile, but the three-point line is not very stable, and for the Pacers, their rotation defense is enough to deal with." ”

Reggie Miller is a light man, but for the Pacers, the defensive problems they face are real, starting with how they should match.

Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are of course easy to say, Hibbert, Stephenson, and Hill will be in the opposite position, respectively, but who will defend Li Yang, who will play against Leonard, George and West will need to make a choice.

In the end, George chose to go to the more lethal Li Yang, while West went to the Leonard.

The matchup between Li Yang and George, which fans were looking forward to, was finally staged in the game, but in this round, Li Yang did not participate in the attack.

Leonard vs. West, which is obviously a misalignment, especially under the Spurs' tactical arrangement at this time, Ginobili and Duncan played blocking and dismantling, and the ball was handed to Duncan, so that Hibbert was forced to pull to the high post.

At this time, Leonard suddenly started from the bottom corner and cut to the basket, and David West obviously couldn't keep up with Leonard's pace at the moment.

Leonard shook off West's defense and appeared in the three-second zone, Duncan's pass also came as soon as possible, and Leonard easily put a two-point basket after receiving the ball.

The Pacers launched an offense, and they were naturally looking for misalignment, and at this time it was West who was misplaced, but it was not Leonard who defended West, but Li Yang.

Hill sent the ball to West, leaned back and felt the power of Li Yang, and West started to push back and hit Li Yang with his back. (To be continued.) )
