Chapter 297
84 to 96, the Pacers lost the game by 12 points.
Losing to the Grizzlies also meant that the Pacers failed to complete their five-game winning streak.
On December 12, the Pacers challenged the San Antonio Spurs away.
The Spurs' recent record has also been rising one after another. Since the start of the season, they have only lost 28 games in 5 games!
Now the core force of the Spurs is Kawhi Kawhi Leonard. Except for Tony Parker, the three veterans of the "GDP", whether it is "Demon Sword" or "Stone Buddha", the data has already declined significantly.
And young people like Danny Green have slowly stepped onto the main stage.
The media predicted that this game will be very fierce, and the odds given by some markets outside are basically 5 to 5.
However, following a notice from Coach Nate before the game, the odds of the Pacers suddenly rose.
The announcement is as follows:
Pacers players Xu Xiang and Paul George were unable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on December 2015, 12 due to injuries.
announce!
There is no need for many fans to worry. According to the conclusion given by the team doctor, it is only a minor injury, and it is enough to rest for a few days, but they missed the Christmas game.
Another: We are extremely sorry for the impact on everyone!We also welcome the league to investigate this information, all our inspection reports are ready!
After speaking, Coach Nate raised the inspection report in his hand, indicating that he did not lie.
For such things, the fans are obviously the most angry, especially those who bought tickets at a high price.
They were all running for the stars, but they didn't expect that Xu Xiang and Paojiao didn't play, so what's the point?
"Refund!"
"Refund!"
Every day at the ticket office of the San Antonio Spurs, fans come to refund tickets, but the arena will only refund your original ticket price, and the arena will not refund you the extra money you spent.
"what?"
Holt, the owner of the Spurs, looked at the news in disbelief. He just learned the news.
He sat up directly from the chair and kept walking back and forth:
"I want to report them to the alliance! This is an illegal operation!!"
He was very angry. Just now, people from the finance department came to count and said that one-third of the people had refunded their tickets.
San Antonio is a small city, and for a poor owner like him, ticket money is one of the few main sources of income.
Now that he has lost so much, his heart aches!
Spurs general manager RC Buford stood in front of him with a dejected look on his face, receiving a torrent of saliva.
"It's all you! If you didn't choose Xu Xiang at the beginning, would it be like this? We had a first-round pick back then, so why don't you choose someone like that (Kyle Anderson) for me?"
Buford looked displeased, MD, is this my decision?You don't dare to be angry at Bobo, you dare to be angry at me, coward!
Regarding Xu Xiang's choice at the beginning, Popovich was indeed in charge.
And it wasn't just their family who didn't choose Xu Xiang at the beginning?
There were 30 picks in the first round and 26 picks in the second round. Those who could pick Xu Xiang had a total of 56 chances, but they missed them all, and they were just one of them.
But he didn't dare to say these words to the boss, otherwise it would definitely be another saliva attack.
--------
Although the fans were angry, the facts could not be changed. Xu Xiang and Paojiao must have been absent from the game, and according to sources, Xu Xiang and Paojiao did not come with the team's plane at all this time, and stayed in Indiana to "rehabilitate".
Soon, the game started, and there were very few spectators in the stands, and no one wanted to watch a game where the result must be known.
The starting lineups of both sides.
[Pacers] Lu Wei, Sloan, Solomon Hill, Plumlee, Jokic.
George Hill and CJ Myers, who played poorly in the last game, were all put on the bench. The current lineup is equivalent to the Pacers' third rotation lineup, after all, CJ Myers is not there.
And sharp-eyed fans discovered that Xu Xiang and Pickled Pepper were indeed not present today.
Mr. Bobo's arrangement tactics without changing his face. He is the kind of person who "doesn't change his face when the mountain collapses in front of him". He has been in NAB for so many years, why hasn't he seen it?
The Spurs gave their starters: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi, Duncan, Alder.
The full main lineup has not been taken lightly because of the Pacers' change.
And the core player Kawaii also said in an interview before the game: No matter who the opponent is, we will go all out!
The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength!
They don't want to capsize in the gutter.
Soon, the game began. Under the leadership of Lu Wei, the Pacers scored consecutively in the opening game, a wave of 6-0, and took the lead to seize the advantage, causing an uproar!
But Popovich made a decisive decision and called a timeout to re-arrange the tactics. After returning, Duncan made a tip-up and Kawhi hit the mid-range. Lu Wei responded with a three-pointer and Jokic made a dunk!
Then Danny Green, not to be outdone, scored two three-pointers from the outside to help the Spurs catch up with the point difference. Jokic scored consecutively at the basket, and Duncan Gaard did not restrict him!
The newborn calf has gradually become powerful!
In the first quarter, the two sides played very happily.
In the second quarter, Zhou Qi, who came off the bench, made a dunk, George Hill, who was recovering, made a mid-range shot, and CJ Miles also hit a three-pointer!Danny Granger caused a foul and made two free throws!The Pacers scored 9 points in a row!
Stopped the Spurs again!
Unbelievable!
Up until now, no one has doubted the strength of the Pacers' bench. Many people didn't agree with it when they were ranked second in the league. Let's look at it now.
At halftime, the Pacers tied the Spurs 50-50!
After changing sides to fight again, Kawhi began to perform solo. First, he succeeded in stealing and dunking, and then made consecutive mid-range hits, leading the Spurs to widen the point difference in one fell swoop.
Even if coach Nate replaced Lu Wei again, he would not be able to resist the offensive from the opposite side. At this time, the value of the star can be reflected.
No matter how powerful Lu Wei, Jokic and others are, they don't have the ability of stars or superstars. At this time, if Xu Xiang or Paojiao are on the court, they can fight against the opponent, but they can't!
At the end of the final quarter, relying on the advantage of the third quarter, the Spurs played the game with ease. Compared with the Pacers, the group was a little anxious. The Spurs led by 3 points in the last 15 minutes.
The game lost its suspense and entered garbage time.
