August 12th at 26pm.
The Pacers, who had just had a Christmas game, had no time to rest and continued to challenge the Minnesota Timberwolves away.
This is the second time they have played against each other this season.
The starting lineups given by both sides are very routine.
After yesterday's game, everyone went to have a good night, and they were all a bit depressed.
The Timberwolves welcome back the "Wolf King" Garnett this season. With the addition of this year's and last year's "double champion" combination, the Timberwolves' record is as bad as ever!
So far, only 29 wins have been won in 11 games, not even half, but it is still a bit better than last season.
Unsurprisingly, the Pacers still lost the game despite the fact that the Pacers were in poor condition. Just now, when the Indian City fans were still looking forward to a few more consecutive victories, they did not expect to lose to the Timberwolves.
104 to 86, the Timberwolves won by 18 points!
Wiggins finally raised his eyebrows in front of Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang only played in the first quarter and the first half of the third quarter, scoring 10 points, 0 assists and 0 rebounds, without free throws.
----------
After losing to the Timberwolves, the Pacers were once again labeled as "unstable".
The Pacers team is a bit unpredictable, counting the 29 games that have been played, 24 wins and 5 losses!
Among them, the opponents who lost were underdogs such as the Timberwolves and the Kings, and they could also win strong teams such as the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Raptors.
what is this?
Steal the rich and save the country?
After playing the Timberwolves, the Pacers finally had time to rest. The next game was on the 28th, and the team had a day off.
Xu Xiang and Mallory went to the cinema to watch a movie. They were really tired from the competition two days ago.
After a day off, at noon on the 28th, the team started training, and there was a game in the evening.
The Pacers host the Eagles.
This is their first meeting this season.
The Eagles have played more games. They have played 32 games before, with 20 wins and 12 losses.
Not many people came to watch the game today, and the seats on one side were basically empty.
The starting lists of both sides were given on the big screen.
The Pacers have George Hill and Xu Xiang on the outside, Pickle and Plumlee on the front line, and Hibbert on the center.
There are only four of the Eagles' "Starting Five Tigers" last year. DeMarre Carroll went to the North this season and signed with the Raptors. Bazemore, who played as a substitute last season, came on top as the starter.
But Xu Xiang had his eyes on another of them, Dennis Schroeder.
Last season, he averaged 11.0 points, 4.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game. No one could have imagined that from the next season, he suddenly began to explode, from 11.0 points per game to 17.9 points per game. In the 17-18 season, he even soared to 19.4 points per game, a quasi-All-Star data!
This guy is no ordinary person.
Xu Xiang called Lu Wei aside, and said earnestly:
"Pay attention to the little man opposite, he has something."
"Just the little guy on the opposite side?" Lu Wei said disdainfully, he looked down on the other side a bit.
Xu Xiang didn't say much, as the "best sixth man", Lu Wei naturally has his own arrogance.
--------
At the beginning of the game, the two teams played hard in the first quarter.
Halfway through the first quarter, relying on Korver's three-pointer, the Eagles took the lead 14-11.
Korver chased for a three-pointer and wanted to continue to expand his advantage, but was interfered by the speedy pickle pepper. The ball hit the basket and went out of bounds. The Pacers quickly served the baseline ball.
"Oh!"
Big dunk with both hands!
14 to 13, the Pacers clung to the score.
With 3 minutes left, Xu Xiang and Paojiao were replaced one after another, and the two sides replaced the bench. The Pacers Lu Wei, CJ Miles and others played one after another, and the Eagles also replaced Schroeder and others.
Xu Xiang sat on the sidelines waving a towel to watch the show, Schroeder vs. Lu Wei, this scene is no weaker than Lu Wei vs. Crawford.
As soon as Lu Wei came up, he shot in and out and scored 5 points in a row. After landing, Lu Wei curled his lips in the direction of Schroeder. It seems that what Xu Xiang said may not be all right.
The season has been going on for so long, and now everyone knows that the Pacers' new players this year are basically discovered by Xu Xiang. Facts have proved that his vision is very unique. Both Plumlee and Jokic were scolded by experts in the media when they were traded. Looking at it now, Jokic has become the Pacers' "number one substitute insider".
Xu Xiang is not only good at playing basketball, but also good at watching people!
This is a widely circulated sentence in the league.
Even the "God of Basketball" Jordan once said that if Xu Xiang retires, he will offer him the position of general manager of the team as soon as possible.
Schroeder clenched his teeth, Lu Wei's eyes made him very uncomfortable.
In the last attack of the first quarter, Schroeder of the Eagles advanced to the frontcourt. CJ Miles next to him was about to come to help defend, but was stopped by Lu Wei with a wave. He thought that he alone was enough to solve the guy in front of him!
Schroder's center of gravity sank, and he began to dribble back and forth non-stop. The speed was so fast that Lu Wei couldn't tell which side he was going to attack from!
"left!"
If you can't judge, you can only take a gamble!
Seeing that Schroeder was about to start, Lu Wei could only be forced to choose a direction.
Schroeder is on his way!
He took his first foot, and Lu Wei was overjoyed!Really left!
However, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, Schroeder's step to the left was just a feint, and his real breakthrough route was to the right!
Lu Wei was fooled!
Schroeder made an easy layup!
Xu Xiang shook his head helplessly on the sidelines. It seems that Lu Wei still didn't take his words to heart. Schroeder is capable of both inside and outside, so he must pay enough attention to defending him.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 27 to 21, and the Eagles took the lead by taking the lead by 6 points.
After a short break, the two sides played again. At the same time, the Pacers played Zhou Qi and replaced Hibbert, who played the first quarter, and Jokic played the fourth position.
Compared with the first quarter, neither side felt very good in the second quarter. The two sides fought each other until 10 minutes and 03 seconds before CJ Miles hit a free throw to break the deadlock.
Pickled Pepper took the lead, and Xu Xiang was replaced on the last attack of the second quarter.
Then assisted Pickled Pepper and hit a three-pointer!
At the end of the first half, the Pacers scored 22 points in a single quarter, while the Eagles were so strong that they only scored 13 points in a single quarter. After halftime, the Pacers led the opponent by 3 points and entered the intermission.
In the third quarter, the Pacers began to exert their strength. Under the leadership of Xu Xiang and Paojiao, they hit consecutive three-pointers and caused damage to the penalty area, and the score was quickly expanded.
