NBA: God-level selection

A three-pointer in the opening game caught the Pacers off guard.

Pacers possession.

Oladipo slowly passed the half, came to the middle of the arc, faced Pope’s defense, no cover, accelerated on the right side, changed direction in front of a body, and then stepped back to shoot directly.

“Ugh!”

Hit from mid-range against Pope’s defense.

Lopez sent a fast ball in the bottom corner, Kuzma received the ball, advanced quickly in the front court, faced with Collison’s defense, and also chose to make a strong layup, but unfortunately the shot was a little shorter.

“Bang!”

The ball hit the iron.

Rebound?!

Center Turner grabbed it, split the ball Oladipo, and then gave it to Bogdanovic all the way to the front, under the cover of Thaddeus Young, Bogdanovic shot a 3-pointer at the top of the left arc.

“Bang!”

No.

Turner picked out the rebound, Thaddeus Young received the ball from mid-range and shot again, still no, Turner made up for the basket, and finally scored.

Lakers ball.

Pope took possession of the ball to the top of the arc, handed it to Meng Chen, and at the top of the right arc, facing the double defense of Collison and Oladipo, Meng Chen flew to the bottom right corner Ingram.

“Ugh!”

The latter catches a three-point shot, and the basketball is upside down on the basket and hits.

First section.

The two teams went back and forth, did not let the opponent play an offensive climax, and the battle was tied at 31.

Subsection.

The contest between the substitutes, the two teams seem to be similar, the two teams are similar in attack, they seem to be able to score, both have passes and cuts, and both have 3 points.

On the Lakers’ side, Kuzma even has the first empty cut dunk.

But……

In the half-quarter rotation of the lineup, the Lakers trailed by 5 points.

Subsequently, after starting the game, Meng Chen scored 5 points with a sudden shot, and used his own deterrent to send 3 gorgeous assists to play a wonderful attack.

On the other hand, the Pacers, the players did not have much highlight performance, even the pseudo-core Oladipo, under the restrictions of Meng Chen, the offense was completely ordinary, and even a little sluggish.

However, the score gap is still not large.

Halftime is over.

Pacers (66) :(70) Lakers.

Meng Chen scored 18 points at halftime, only 4 points in Oladipo, and the Lakers still only led by 4 without the appearance of the Pacers.

It’s very strange.

And this strange feeling becomes more and more obvious in the third quarter.

As many people know, the Lakers in the third quarter, Meng Chen is extremely strong, a little careless, Meng Chen will lead the Lakers to play a wave of offensive climax and directly take away the game.

However, tonight, the Pacers can take away the race, just 3 points ahead of the Pacers.

What’s going on?!

The Pacers ranked fifth in the East, good or bad, but it was a bit surprising that the Pacers could play such a tight game against the powerful and unstoppable Lakers tonight.

After all, after George, Teague and others left, the Pacers team is no longer as strong as it was during the “Five Tigers” period, and the current Pacers do not have a real leader.

The only person who can be said to be a leader is Oladipo, who was traded from the Thunder and averaged a team-high 23.1 points per game, and although his progress has improved by leaps and bounds since coming to the Pacers, it is clear … He does not yet have the temperament of a leader.

But such a team that doesn’t even have an All-Star can always win games, and eventually stabilize the fifth record in the East and lead the sixth place by several wins.

This evening, in the face of Oladipo’s downturn, he was able to stabilize the situation.

Here’s why.

“The Pacers have too many points to score, and this night they face the Lakers, and their desire to win allows them to use their abilities to the fullest.”

“Yes. This kind of team without an All-Star is a soldier tonight, and it always helps the team score in a different way. ”

That’s right.

All the people are soldiers.

After several big trades, the current Pacers do not have an All-Star, but the team lineup, from starters to benches, has a certain scoring ability.

And this team is also quite selfless, as long as there is a chance, it will pass the ball, even if a substitute gets an empty opportunity, it will not hesitate to give the ball, trust the substitute.

So……

One of the reasons the Pacers are always able to score when the offense isn’t great.

Look at the Lakers, on the other hand.

Meng Chen’s play is still explosive and eye-catching, but the play of his teammates this night is real, or the Pacers are all soldiers, and the attack mode is multi-point attack.

These young players were a little overwhelmed for a while.

Generally speaking, players who are all-round and have no obvious offensive shortcomings are destined to become superstars even if they are not technically mature, and the same is true for teams that can attack more.

They are always able to score inexplicably, always magically help the team win games.

Last section.

On the occasion of Meng Chen’s rest.

On the Lakers’ side, in the face of the Pacers who are in better and better condition, in the face of the more blossoming Pacers, they don’t know how to deal with it for a while, and the leading 4 advantages are also wiped out in extreme events.

Half-section rotation.

After all the starting 4 returned, it was useless, and it was as many as 6 points behind.

“Beep—beep!”

Coach Wharton called out a timeout and replaced Meng Chen with it.

“The Pacers played really well tonight, and if they can continue this momentum, they may really be able to win against the Lakers.”

“Yes, if Meng Chen’s attack can be limited a little, or Meng Chen’s shooting percentage drops a little, the Pacers will completely win this game.”

“The Lakers’ winning streak would be interesting if it was ended by the Pacers.”

Under the commentator’s discussion.

The final half of the decisive battle begins.

No one expected that such an inconspicuous team as the Pacers could cause the Lakers such a big problem tonight, but this is competitive sports, and this is the beauty of competitive sports.

“Snap!”

Arc top middle road.

Meng Chen faced Oladipo’s defense, raised his hands high, made a shooting action, and suddenly lowered his body at the moment he read that Oladipo’s center of gravity leaned forward… Initiate.

“Ugh!”

An acceleration, the right side directly broke through Oladipo’s defense, instantly hit the basket, facing Turner’s defense, Meng Chen jumped up, grabbed the ball with one arm, and raised it high.

“Boom!”

Turner, complete the buckle! _
