Chapter 1219 A Record-Breaking Battle!
Indiana, Bankers Life Arena.

This is the home court of the Pacers. The auditorium was crowded with people and it was very lively. Many home fans came to the scene to cheer for the Pacers.

Because today's game is quite special, you don't need to come to other games, but today the home fans must come to support the home team.

"It seems that the 76ers are in good shape. They don't look like they are playing back to back. There will be no problems in today's game, right?"

"Don't worry, although the 76ers are very strong, today's advantage is on our Pacers side. At this moment, you see that the 76ers are in good condition. When the game starts, we will play for two quarters. Physical problems It will definitely come out."

"Oh, let's hope we win."

At this time, players from both sides have arrived on the field and are warming up.

The 76ers didn't look tired, on the contrary, the players looked very excited.

After all, today is a key game. As long as they win this game, they can break the 76ers team history winning streak and create a new record.

As for the Pacers, the atmosphere was very dignified, and every player's expression was very serious. Obviously, even though they were determined to win this game in their hearts, they were still very afraid of the 76ers.

After some warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the field.

Qin Hao glanced at the Pacers team's rest area, and his eyes fell on George. George seemed to have sensed something, and turned his head, just in time to meet Qin Hao's eyes. Qin Hao grinned and smiled brightly at George, but George couldn't help but I trembled all over.
The smile brought back some bad memories for him.

"The guy who hides the knife in his smile." George muttered to himself. Every time Qin Hao would smile at him brightly, encourage him to work hard, and say that I am optimistic about you, but at the same time he punched hard in the game and used him as the background plate.

Qin Hao has always claimed that the two have a good personal relationship and are good friends.

Interviewed by reporters before the game today, Qin Hao said it again, so that the reporter came to ask George, how did he feel when he was going to play against his friends today?
what do you feel?
Unhappy, unhappy, I want to refuse!

George regretted having such a friend as Qin Hao, so when he saw Qin Hao grinning and showing eight teeth, he felt churn in his heart and always had a bad feeling.

"Hmph." George snorted angrily, expressing his attitude that we are opponents now.

"Hey, is that how you treat your friends?" Qin Hao curled his lips and gave George a resentful look, which made George's whole body tremble and his hairs stand on end.

George quickly looked away, ignored Qin Hao, and focused on listening to Coach Vogel's tactics.

at the same time.

Coach Luke is also arranging tactics: "The Pacers are a defensive team, and their defense is very good, so we have to play patiently and pay attention to the success rate. Another point, we must pay attention to protecting the rebounds, The opponent has a height advantage inside, we have to fight for it, everyone has to fight for rebounds, understand?"

"Yes."

"clear."

Everyone agreed.

Afterwards, Coach Luke gave a few more instructions. As for the defensive end, there is nothing to emphasize, because the Pacers have no stars.

After Granger's truce due to injury, the Pacers did not have the so-called "head star". George's scoring average was the highest in the team, but only 18.2 points, followed by David West, averaging 17 points per game. , As for Hibbert and Hill, they averaged around ten points per game.

And other players are in single digits.

Moments later, the game begins.

The 76ers played regular starters, and the Pacers played Hibbert, West, George, Gerald Green, George Hill.

The first is the jump ball. Hibbert jumped to the ball and it hit the backcourt. Hill controlled the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing Qin Hao coming up, his eyes were fixed, and he subconsciously lowered his center of gravity and carefully protected the ball. , and then looked at the situation on the field.

The 76ers team uses man-to-man. Hill took a look, and then asked for a pick-and-roll. Hibbert came out, and Hill used the pick-and-roll to get rid of it. stand in front of him.

"It's so fast." Hill sighed and passed the ball to George.

George took the ball and faced Butler in singles. He was a little apprehensive against Qin Hao, but he was fine against Butler. He was very decisive. After a three-threat, he changed direction and broke through.

Butler moved quickly, stuck in position, and didn't let George pass by. The two were close to each other, wrestling secretly. George couldn't help frowning, but he couldn't take advantage of it. In desperation, he had to split the ball and pass it to Green.
After a few passes, the ball was in Hibbert's hands.

The Pacers lineup has no advantage on the outside, but has some advantages on the inside. Hibbert's height, West's skills and experience, can still take advantage of Nene and Speights.

boom!
With a muffled sound, Hibbert's shot hit the iron.

The 76ers will not allow Hibbert and West to play low singles. When they see Hibbert holding the ball and playing back singles, they immediately go to help defense and interfere with Hibbert's shot.

Speights blocked West, and Iguodala grabbed the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao quickly launched a counterattack. Bert had to pounce on the defense.

Whoosh!
Qin Hao split the ball and gave it to Nene, who scored easily.

In the next few rounds, the Pacers did not play smoothly on the offensive end. They continuously gave the ball to the inside players, but the 76ers' defense was too fast. Once Hibbert and West played in the low post, The 76ers stepped forward to help immediately, and when Hibbert and West passed the ball, they were able to immediately return to the perimeter.

This is the outside combination of the 76ers, Qin Hao + Iguodala + Butler, with height, speed and defensive ability, it is a great supplement to the inside.

On the offensive end, it was difficult for the Pacers to break through the 76ers' defense, and on the defensive end, they couldn't guard against Qin Hao.

The Pacers have Hibbert and West on the inside, George is on the front line, and Green is at the 2nd position. They all have good defensive capabilities, but Hill at the 1st position is an offensive guard, and defense is not his strong point. Although he defended very actively and toughly.

What's more, he was facing Qin Hao. Hill was 188 centimeters tall, a full ten centimeters shorter than Qin Hao, and his speed was not as good as Qin Hao. Strength, he is still inferior.

That is to say, Hill was completely at a disadvantage against Qin Hao, and he couldn't defend Qin Hao at all, and once other people came to help defend, then the Pacers' defense would have problems.

So after only three minutes of the first quarter, the Pacers had already fallen into a disadvantage, and the score became 11:5, with the 76ers leading by 6 points.
