Chapter 250 Found a treasure!
On October 10, the Pacers played back-to-back home games against the Grizzlies.
This is the Pacers' second game of the new season.
At 8:[-] p.m., the game officially begins at the Bankers Life Arena.
The starting lineups of both sides are given on the big screen, [Pacers]: Xu Xiang, Paul George, Plumlee, Jokic, Hibbert.
[Grizzlies]: Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Cornett Lee, Zach Randolph, Jr.
When I saw the lineup of the Pacers, I was shocked, including all the commentators. What is Coach Nate doing?
Plumlee can also play center. Is this equivalent to a combination of three insiders?
The lineup of the Pacers, except for Xu Xiang, is so high that it breaks through the sky. Is this to force the inside?
Everyone knows that the strongest team of the Grizzlies is his explosive "inside duo". Plus and Zach Randolph are currently the strongest inside combination in the league.
As for the Pacers inside, Hibbert has the body, experience and confrontation, but he has no delicate skills. Jokic is a rookie, and Plumlee lacks confrontation. Can these three really limit the "black and white bears" on the opposite side?
Everyone put a big question mark on this result in their hearts.
Dave Jogel looked at the fat, greasy black man opposite, with a puzzled look on his face, three insiders?What kind of trick is this?
But the game has already started, he can only keep this doubt in his heart.
For the jump ball, Hibbert met Xiaojia, and Xiaojia reacted faster. When Hibbert just jumped up, the ball had already been allocated to the Grizzlies' backcourt.
Mike Conley pushed forward with the ball and sent the ball to Zach Randolph on the inside. Jokic immediately gave a physical confrontation. Randolph's chassis was very hard, and he directly plunged in. He turned around and hit the board at mid-range. The angle was not very good.
托尼阿伦这家伙不要看他已经30多岁了，但是打球的风格还是跟20多岁的时候差不多，一个1.9米几的小个子就喜欢往篮下去扎，上个赛季他场均8.6分4.4个篮板1.4个助攻。
Pickled Pepper wanted to interfere, but Tony Allen was very experienced, so he changed hands and went up to him. Pickled Pepper couldn't dodge and was called a foul by the referee.
The Grizzlies' sideline kick, Cornett Lee directly got rid of Plumlee's defense, came out, and shot the ball!
With a bang, the mid-range soared forward.
Looking back, Xu Xiang pushed forward with the ball. When George Hill was not on the court, he played the role of a point guard. He dribbled the ball halfway, and Paojiao went around to catch the ball. Xu Xiang helped him with a delayed pick-and-roll. , that would be too much of a waste of this lineup.
The small throw under the basket made a successful hit with a swish.
The score was 2-2.
The Grizzlies were not advancing fast, and their inside line was also very crowded. Mike Conley held the ball for half court, Zach Randolph came out and made a cover, Xu Xiang was not fast around the front, and made a decisive decision. A wave of defenses was formed on the court in an instant.
Jokic has the ability to defend in high positions, and his lateral movement speed is not bad, and it is not so easy for some small men to pass him easily.
Mike Conley looked at the serious Jokic with disdain, you want to guard me as a center?Are you still a rookie?
Go to do your spring and autumn dream!
Continuous crotch dribbles, the center of gravity moved down instantly, and suddenly turned to the left. Jokic looked nervous. According to Mike Conley's breakthrough route, he must have gone left, but his instinct told Jokic that this ball is not easy!
Mike Conley looked at Jokic who was defending to the left, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, you are the fool who lied!
I saw him take a step to the left and then close in an instant, and there was a space on the right!
Mike Conley looked at the empty line of defense in front of him until the basket, and smiled lightly. He was going to see how Jokic, who had been thrown off, looked like, and then said to him: rookie welcome to the NBA!
However, when he glanced at Jokic out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found that the position on the left behind him was empty!
He was shocked for a moment, where did he go?It was there just now!
Snapped--
There was a crisp sound from his hand!
He is broken!
who is it?
The DJ at the scene is already up!
——A steal from Nikola Jokic!
The Pacers didn't give them a chance to react. After Jokic stole the ball, he quickly got it into the hands of Xu Xiang, who was rushing ahead, and made a layup!
When retreating, Xu Xiang patted Jokic's ass. The steal just now vividly reflected the value of Jokic. It is really rare for a big center to steal a small guard.
Jokic smiled embarrassingly. He was careful just now. He thought it was impossible for Mike Conley to break through the road so easily, and he guessed it.
"The Pacers have found a treasure!" The two ESPN commentators on the commentary stand said with a serious face.
Although Jokic is young, you can see that his playing style is really too mature, and he is very stable and has a high golf quotient. Such a rookie is definitely worth a lottery pick. The Nuggets are going to cry to death!
And the Pacers have made great deals in the past two years. In the first year, they selected an All-Star starter in the second round, and Xu Xiang, who is likely to become No.1 in the league in the future. In the second year, he used a [-]th pick in the first round to exchange for a center with such great potential. If the Pacers can really achieve results this year, Kevin Pritchard is likely to be the best general manager of the season.
With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, Xu Xiang and Paojiao were all replaced one after another. Now the Pacers are only left with Jokic in the starting lineup.
Lu Wei, CJ Myers, Solomon Hill, West, Jokic, this is the current lineup of the Pacers.
The main attack points are Lu Wei and CJ Miles from the outside line, and Jokic usually pulls to a high position to support.
The outside world is quite optimistic about the Pacers' bench lineup now, and it is considered to be the top three bench lineup in the league.
Whether it is an offensive point or an organizational point, this lineup is not lacking.
In the second quarter, Xu Xiang came on the field with 5 minutes left and replaced CJ Miles. At the same time, George Hill also replaced Lu Wei. The point difference between the two sides was very anxious.
