Genius remember the address of this site in one second: [Er Yuetian Novel Network] The fastest update! No ads!

Indiana Pacers, the current record is 17 wins and 13 losses. While the rankings aren't particularly high, the Pacers have gotten better as the season progresses.

They've been on a winning streak lately, and they haven't lost the slightest even against strong teams.

At the beginning of the season, the Pacers' former star Daniel Granger was sidelined indefinitely because of a knee problem. At that time, almost all the media in the United States looked down on the Pacers. It's no wonder the Pacers have a good record without their star.

But it turns out that the incredibly strong Pacers players won't just give up. Paul George, George Hill, Stephenson, David West and Hibbert, with their outstanding performance, changed the team's fate.

Now, the Pacers have ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference and have the momentum to impact the top three in the Eastern Conference! The Pacers were third in the East last season, but this year, they don't have Daniel Granger.

Today's Pacers, even if they encounter a strong team, can often play a 55 to 50 with the opponent. Therefore, this game with the Grizzlies is very popular in Indianapolis.

The war of words between Stephenson and Link before the game greatly stimulated the fans' desire to watch the game.

"Link and Stephenson, these two guys can't help but want to play before the game! As we all know, this season, Stephenson is a defensive gate for the Pacers on the perimeter! His defense is always very active. And tough, I think today, Link will fully feel the passion that Stephenson exudes!"

Before the game, the commentators focused on Link and Stephenson. After all, yesterday, their mutual confrontation in the air was too topical.

In the beginning, it was Stephenson who made rude words to Link in the face of the media. As a result, Link's sentence "Stephenson? I don't know, is the All-Star voting ranking higher than me?", and Stephenson was completely misunderstood.

There wasn't a single dirty word in Link's sentence, and it was even a question. But Gao Ming is brilliant, and he used the least swearing words to scold his opponent.

Before today's game, a reporter even interviewed Larry Bird, the president of basketball operations of the Pacers, "Does Link's trash talk look like you did?"

Bird just smiled and didn't answer. Of course, the "King of Force" would not admit that someone could pretend to be more forceful than himself, but he could understand Stephenson's half-dead feeling of anger. After all, Bird's opponents were so pissed off before.

"Do you think that Finson guy is really sure?" In the luxurious box of the Bankers Life Arena, Bird's assistant Pritchard seemed a little worried.

"Grasp? Stephenson never does things through his head, let alone grasp."

"Then today..."

"But it doesn't matter, the stronger the opponent, the more excited that kid Stephenson will be. Look, he will restrain Link today." Bird was full of confidence, he thought that Link was not like himself. Because that No. 0 may not necessarily win the game after the trash talk.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the two teams stepped into the stadium for the first time. Link and George walked towards each other first and hugged tightly.

"The numbers have skyrocketed this season, George, keep going!"

"So are you, and I hope all goes well with you, but not today."

A brief hello, and the pair is convenient and quick to separate. They are all old friends and don't need too many greetings. Even if we want to catch up, it will be after the game is over.

Right now, two players from the University of Fresno just want to beat each other.

Ever since Stephenson stepped onto the court, his round eyes were always on Link.

Ordinary people are so stunned by a vicious big man. But when Link was calm and looked at Stephenson,

He also showed a playful smile.

From yesterday to now, Link has been emphasizing one point to Stephenson, "You're just a nobody!"

The referee blew his whistle and the game officially started.

Gasol is already very tall, but Roy Hibbert on the opposite side is two centimeters taller than Gasol. The nickname "Black Yao Ming" is really not for nothing. In the end, he won basketball by virtue of his height advantage, and the Pacers became the first offensive team.

On the first offense, George Hill handed the basketball to the Pacers' new core Paul George.

Since Granger was injured, George immediately seized the opportunity to play an excellent performance and stabilized the starting position. Now, even has become the core player of the Pacers.

In fact, thanks to Link. If it wasn't for Link training with George in the summer and beating up the Dream Team, it is estimated that George would not have been able to go berserk at the beginning of the season.

Of course, Link is very clear about George's strength, but Iguodala is by no means easy to mess with. Link believes that Iguodala at this time should be able to easily handle George.

However, Link thought too simply.

I saw George skillfully call for cover, and then cut into the penalty area with great speed!

After Iguodala bypassed the screen, he found that George had already made a pull-up jumper.

He quickly blocked it, but to no avail. George was originally 2.06 meters tall and had an advantage at the 3rd position. This time Iguodala's blockade was half a beat slower, and it had little effect on George.

So, the Pacers' offense just scored. Paul George made his first shot in this game and scored the first point for the Pacers.

"Damn, how decisive!" Iguodala gritted his teeth. Because of playing in the East two years ago, Iguodala was still impressed by George. After all, they run into each other several times a season.

But before, George gave Iguodala the feeling that he was just a tall pitcher. Catching the ball and shooting, that should be George's strength.

But just now, George personally broke through with the ball and made a pull-up jumper, which Iguodala never expected. It seems that the Link's college alumnus has also stepped onto the right highway and started to speed.

George's scoring average this season is now a career high, nearly doubling from last season.

If he still only has a few tricks from the first two seasons, the data will naturally not rise so exaggeratedly.

The Pacers' first-round offense was over, and Stephenson began to perform.

"Hey, your hairstyle is so handsome! It's a pity that no matter how handsome you are, you can only make an embarrassment here!" As soon as Link passed half court, he heard Stephenson's cutie talking to him.

"I said, why are you so serious!? Anyway, you can't escape me. I said, I'll let you burn here. I'll follow you all night, haunt you, let you Go crazy, make you grumpy! So, get ready... eh!?"

Before Stephenson could finish his words, Link flashed past him.

From start to finish, Link was undisturbed by Stephenson's trash talk. He saw the opportunity, suddenly cut in, and got a chance to attack the frame.

On the court, Pacers coach Frank Vogel covered his head speechlessly. This guy, Stephenson, made another sudden disconnection.

After Link cut in, he received Conley's scalpel-like basketball, and then jumped straight for a layup!

Just when Link thought everything was going well, a "black tower" suddenly appeared in front of Link. Link played in the NBA for three seasons, but no player has ever brought such a deterrent to Link in terms of height!

"Roy Hibbert, he's very aggressive to get back to the basket!"

With the shouting of the commentator, Link missed a layup under Hibbert's strong interference!

David West on the side hurriedly protected the rebound, and then made a long pass from the backcourt!

David West once played with Chris Paul for the Hornets. As we all know, Paul is one of the most intelligent players in the league. At the time, Paul called David West the most intelligent player on the team.

As an inside player with high IQ, David West will not miss any chance to fight back!

After winning the rebound, West made a long pass directly from the backcourt and sent the ball to Stephenson!

Because the counterattack was too sudden, the Grizzlies didn't have time to go back at all. Facing an unguarded basket, Stephenson easily staged a one-handed dunk!

The crowd cheered, and Stephenson ran around the field with his arms raised and exaggerated, as if he had won the game.

"Damn, that idiot!" Randolph couldn't stand it anymore, he thought he was shameless enough, who knows, one generation is more cheap than one generation!

Link also shook his head secretly. Stephenson's celebration was more eye-catching than his dunk.

Despite the counter-intellectual behavior, the Pacers went 4-0, an undeniable fact.

After two possessions, the Grizzlies found the Pacers more difficult to deal with than expected.
