The replacement for Paul George is Danny Granger.
Seeing Granger play, the home audience cheered enthusiastically. This is their former "hero". The Pacers' ability to sign him at the end of his career has also successfully won the hearts of many fans.
Although the NBA is a business league, it also cares about human relations. For example, Angie, the general manager of the Boston Celtics, is the person who is scolded the most by fans.Why?
It's because he doesn't treat players as human beings, and he dares to make all transactions as long as there are benefits!
The boss likes such a person, but the fans definitely don't like it.
Xu Xiang took the initiative to go over and give the veteran a high-five. Some time ago, because of his injury, Coach Nate hadn't put him in the roster. Now, under the evaluation of the team doctor, the appropriate game time should be acceptable. Therefore, Coach Nate directly replaced him in the first quarter.
Dirk also came over to give him a hug. Both of them are veterans, and they had been opponents before.
The game restarted, Xu Xiang held the ball for halftime, without even thinking about it, he handed the ball directly into Granger's hands, and let him play this ball!
Granger has been training all the time, even without the ball, but when he touched the ball at this time, he felt extremely emotional!
On the opposite side, Harris was replaced and Felton was replaced.
Xu Xiang began to run off the ball around various pick-and-rolls, successfully attracting the attention of the Mavericks' defense.
When running to Granger's side, he made a cover by the way. Granger slipped out of the three-point line with the help of the cover and was about to shoot. The Mavericks' defense has arrived!
Granger made a decisive decision, and made a clever backhand pass to Xu Xiang next to him. Seeing Xu Xiang take the ball, everyone in the Mavericks panicked!
The defensive formation was chaotic in an instant. Dirk had the most experience and took the lead in grabbing the defensive position, but——
Xu Xiang is still not the end point of this attack!
While everyone's attention was being attracted, Xu Xiang slid his wrist, and the basketball started from his fingertips, drawing a strange arc in the air!
Granger catches the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left!Open three-point chance!
He directly chose to shoot!
Bend your knees, pull your belly in, aim at the basket, take off, and shoot!
"boom!"
With a swish, the ball passed through the net perfectly as if a positioning system had been installed!
Three points scored!
The cheers on the scene exploded in an instant!
Some emotional fans have already covered their eyes. A long time ago, Granger used his three-pointer to help the Pacers win. Looking at it now, time is like a knife!
Granger himself was obviously very happy after scoring the goal. He gave the fans in the stands a thumbs up, and the fans in the stands followed suit and gave him thumbs up too!
Xu Xiang ran over and patted him on the shoulder. This senior's career is not easy.
The Mavericks' offense found Dirk, Dirk took a look, and the golden rooster hit again independently!
Even though Plumlee has defended very well, there is still nothing he can do about this "old driver".
Xu Xiang took advantage of Plumlee's pick-and-roll breakthrough and was assisted in the defense. Xu Xiang shot to Granger at a 45-degree angle on the right.
Granger feinted for a while, wanting to take a shot, but due to age and injuries, his movement speed has been greatly reduced. Matthews, who was defending him, immediately made up for it, no chance!
There was not much time left in the attack, and Plumlee made a strong hit at the basket, but he failed, and the rebound was protected by Zaza.
Deron quickly pushed forward, and shot a three-pointer from the back of the frontcourt. With a bang, it hit the iron. Hibbert took the rebound.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 24 to 20, and the Pacers led by 4 points.
At 6 minutes and 08 seconds into the second quarter, the two sides entered a timeout and all made substitutions. Xu Xiang, Plumlee and Granger were all replaced.
Zhou Qi!
The Great Demon King is coming!
Xu Xiang looked at Coach Nate on the sidelines in surprise, only to see that he was touching his big bald head and smiling without saying a word.
But this is also a good thing. Zhou Qi has not played a game so far, and it is also a good thing for him to be able to play this time.
Seeing Zhou Qi play, the audience was in an uproar.
The reason why Zhou Qi joined the Pacers has already been figured out in their minds. They didn’t expect too much from Zhou Qi. It’s already a big deal to have one Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang clapped his hands with Zhou Qi, and gave him a warning with his eyes.
It can be seen that Zhou Qi is very excited. He has been notified earlier that he will enter the active list today and may have the opportunity to play. Jokic, who joined the team at the same time as him, has become the main substitute. Everyone can see that Jokic will definitely be the main center of this team in the future, and he does not expect to be like him. As long as he can enter the rotation, he will be very happy.
The domestic fans were also very excited, but it was a pity that Xu Xiang and Zhou Qi were not present at the same time, but being with Paojiao was not bad, and he must have learned a lot. Xu Xiang must have a rest from the first quarter to the present.
"Do you think the Great Demon King will become a blockbuster?"
"How surprised?"
"Scored in double figures in the first show?"
"This is a bit difficult. I think Zhou Qi should not focus on scoring. The defense and confrontation at the basket are what he needs to perform most."
"."
The current lineup of the Pacers on the field is Sloan, CJ Myers, Pickle, Jokic, and Zhou Qi.
As soon as Zhou Qi came on the court, Jokic switched to the 4th position and gave up the 5th position to Zhou Qi.
Although not playing with the main lineup, the Chinese fans are still very happy.
At the same time, the news "Zhou Qi teamed up with pickled peppers to fight the Dallas Mavericks!" was released on domestic social platforms for the first time! "
This news instantly made it to No.1 in the hot search!
"Come on, Zhou Qi!"
"Zhou Qi is awesome!"
"It's a pity that Xu Xiang is not on the court."
Zhou Qi's first attack after playing!
Now the Pacers' inner double-tower lineup is a bit nervous compared to Jokic and Zhou Qi. When he received a pass from his teammate, he didn't dare to stop in his hand. He passed it out quickly. The arc of the pass was very high.
