Six Hundred and Thirty Nine: The Owner of the Cornfield

It would be no exaggeration to say that the Indiana Pacers are the worst team so far this season.

To this day, the Pacers remain undefeated. As the defending champion Grizzlies can play this kind of achievement, but also people feel deserved. But as a dark horse last season, this season is still strong, and it can't help but make people feel strong.

7 games, 7 victories, George also showed 7 superstar performances.

In the opening game against the Magic, George had 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, continuing his superstar state in the Eastern Conference finals last season.

In the second game against the Hornets, George had 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, still unstoppable.

Until the last game, against the Nets, which had the five giants of Deron, Johnson, Pierce, Garnett and Lopez, George still performed well. As high as 60%, easily lead the team to win.

Paul George renewed his contract with the Pacers in advance with a maximum salary this summer, which shows that the Pacers just want to build a team with George as the core.

During the period just signed, George also heard some voices of doubt. But now, no one will question the Pacers' decision.

In seven games, George proved that the long-armed No. 24 last season's performance in the Eastern Conference finals was far from a flash in the pan.

So far, no one has caused trouble for George. Until now, here comes the Grizzlies and Link.

Larry Bird was in the luxury box waiting for the game to start early. Today, the Bankers Life Arena was extremely lively. Early in the morning, there were already countless news carts working outside the arena.

When the fans entered the arena in the afternoon, the sky was still full of helicopters performing aerial photography missions.

Link and George, Pacers and Grizzlies. So far this season, the two best-performing players meet the two best-performing teams, which naturally whetted the appetite of the fans.

Both the Grizzlies and Pacers are now undefeated, with a six-game winning streak and a seven-game winning streak. Who can keep the undefeated golden body of these two teams has also become one of the highlights of the game.

So today's game made the Bankers Life Arena extremely lively. Its formation, even no less than last season's Eastern Conference finals.

Bird shook the wine glass in his hand, looking at the scene in front of him, quite proud. When he decided to take Paul George, he was criticized a lot. But look now, it turns out he was right.

The only thing Bird regrets now is why he didn't bring George's undrafted friend with him.

Come to think of it, George and Link are playing together...it's not too pretty.

"Big Bird" shook his head and stopped thinking about it. There is no NBA world. If Link and George missed the opportunity to be teammates in the NBA, they may miss it forever.

Now, Bird needs to see how much George can do in front of Link, a top opponent.

In the Eastern Conference finals last season, George almost overturned James and almost broke the Heat's domination of the Eastern Conference. So what can George do in the face of the same top Link?

Bird found that he had not looked forward to a game so much for a long time.

On the court, Link walked at the front of the team, leading his teammates to warm up.

For the past three seasons, Link has liked to be last on the team. But now, as the well-deserved leader of the Grizzlies, Link is generally the first to rush out of the tunnel.

As soon as Link stepped onto the court, the deafening shouts poured into the cochlea. But what was most shocking was not the violent cheers, but when Link stepped into the field, he saw an endless stream of corn yellow.

The stands of the entire arena seemed to have turned into cornfields.

"Fuck, do you think this is the playoffs? Such a big battle!" Link stood in the center of the court, looking around at everything around him.

It is indeed the most difficult team in the league. Just because of a regular season, fans can dress uniformly.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

"Welcome to my paradise, Link!"

Just as Link looked around the stands, George smiled and walked towards Link with his hands outstretched.

This scene reminded Link suddenly of Leonardo's charming smile when he first appeared in his mansion in the movie "The Great Gatsby".

At this time, George seemed to be the master waiting for Link's visit in the "mansion".

"You're unstoppable this season, man," Link said, stepping up to hug George.

"You're also very difficult to mess with, Link, you've already been selected for the top ten list, hahahaha!"

"Hey, don't mention that, I don't even know what I did to be put on a list like that. Hey, don't you want to win eight straight today? The victory is almost there." Link's words changed, and the two good friends instantly confronted each other.

"Don't worry Link, I'll give you a decent game. Unfortunately, I missed the finals last season. But it's okay, I'll make it up for you now!"

Link nodded, and after a light fist bump with George, he returned to his own half.

Today, Link is no longer a condescending look, he seems very serious. Paul George and Draymond Green now, and even Davis a little earlier, are not on the same level.

Paul George nearly topped James last season. After training with Link this summer, George has evolved again.

Therefore, the current George is no longer the George who could only silently bless Link.

Now George has also joined this game of honor! It is no exaggeration to say that George is the first strong enemy Link has encountered this year!

After the warm-up, the game started quickly. The Pacers and Grizzlies starters are surprisingly similar, both very traditional.

The Grizzlies have Gasol, and the Pacers have Hibbert as a defensive high.

The Grizzlies have Randolph, and the Pacers have David West at the 4th position.

The Grizzlies have Iguodala, and the Pacers have Stephenson who can do anything.

The Grizzlies have Conley, and the Pacers have George Hill from the Spurs.

The most similar, of course, is that they both center around the 3. And George and Link happened to both graduated from the same university.

In this game, it was as if the two sides were fighting against their own shadows.

Against this very similar style and configuration of opponents, the game is usually quite intense.

After the game officially started, "Black Yao Ming" Roy Hibbert took the lead in winning basketball for the Pacers.

In today's era of increasingly scarce large centers, Gasol has rarely encountered a higher interior than himself.

So seeing Roy Hibbert, Gasol was somewhat uncomfortable.

Hibbert played very well in the playoffs last season, averaging 17 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, as if the era of big centers had re-emerged. It is precisely because of him that the Heat fell into a hard fight.

But so far this year's regular season, Hibbert's numbers have tended to be mediocre again. It seems that only in the face of a team with a weak interior like the Heat, Hibbert can exert his power.

Therefore, in the first attack of the Pacers, George Hill did not look for Hibbert, but Paul George!

As soon as George received the basketball on the right side of the three-point line, Link went sideways.

In this game, Joger asked Link to defend George himself, because George was too dangerous. In terms of defense, Link is no worse than Iguodala now. So when meeting a super scorer, Link is Jogel's first choice defender.

In the stands, the "cornfield" immediately turned upside down. The fans did not expect that the duel between Link and George was staged directly in the first round.

George no longer had the charming smile he had just now, and he was carefully observing Link's defensive focus!

Link pouted, this is tricky! We have been training together for so long this summer, and everyone knows each other so well that George will not rush forward.

After George took two tentative steps with the ball, seeing that Link was unmoved, he stretched out his hand to call for a pick-and-roll. David West immediately moved to Link's side.

However, in the next second, George broke through to the side without cover, false cover!

Link struggled to keep up, but George's speed wasn't enough. As a tall 3 with a height of 2.06 meters, George's speed is very fast.

Link did not retreat fully, he was watching out for George's pull-up jumper. As everyone knows, George did not choose to score in an easy way, but suddenly a variation accelerated, wiped Link and hit the basket!

In the face of Gasol's supplementary defense, George was in no hurry. He slipped over the baseline, walked to the other side of the basket, and suddenly took off, and came a big loop dunk!

"Dunk directly!? Paul George passed through Link and Gasol at the same time. It's incredible! Today, the Pacers are going to fight the Grizzlies to the end!"

With the loud noise of the basket, the dome of the entire Bankers Life Arena seemed to be about to be overturned.

Link shook his head, he was just hesitating, George rushed in and dunked, that guy is really not joking now.

After the dunk landed, George pointed a finger at Linkby, indicating that he was now leading 1-0.

It seems that Link will be restless all night.
