NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 219 Pickled Peppers
There was an uproar.

Unexpectedly, whether it was West's breakthrough with the ball, Xu Xiang's breakthrough with the ball or the previous series of passes, they were all wedding dresses for Paul George's attack. Looking at the Pacers who were clapping and celebrating, Wade suddenly felt envious.

I don't know what I am really envious of, anyway, I am yearning for that way of playing.

The Pacers played this ball very patiently, whether it was passing the ball or making an air cut, they did it very smoothly. For some reason, people who saw this scene felt as if they were watching the Spurs game again, smooth and concise.

In the Heat's offense, Wade held the ball and stood at the top of the arc, and Paul George tightly restricted Luer Deng in the low post.

To be honest, what Xu Xiang appreciates most about Paojiao is his active defense. In terms of scoring alone, he is not as good as James and Durant, but in terms of defense, he is definitely the top small forward in the league.

Luer Deng is very uncomfortable. He and Paul George have also played against each other before, but this defensive strength?
He took a deep look at Pickled Pepper, didn't he just say he was injured?Where did such defensive strength come from?
Whenever the Heat can't find an offensive rhythm, Wade will stand up, and today is no exception.

Seeing that his teammates had no chance, he quickly dribbled the ball and went straight to the bottom corner from the right. Xu Xiang's reaction was quick, but he was not as fast as Wade, so he could only forcefully reach out to break one. Wade took a light step and avoided Xu Xiang's steal.

but--

Snapped--

Steal it!
The entire audience was in an uproar, and then boiled instantly.

A steal from Paul George.

The offense and defense were converted immediately, and the Pacers had a quick counterattack opportunity.

Paul George didn't hesitate after getting the ball, but accelerated forward. When the Heat failed to catch up, he scored 2 points for a layup.

After the opening, a three-pointer, a steal and a layup, it can be said that he played the momentum before Pickle was injured.

The Heat served from the backcourt, and Wade directly wanted to pass the ball, took the ball to the frontcourt, and faced Xu Xiang.

With a forced step to speed up, Wade passed Xu Xiang in an instant, and then made a successful layup with a light turn, and also scored 2 points.

The Pacers quickly sent the ball to the baseline. After George Hill got the ball, he threw it into Xu Xiang's hands without thinking. Xu Xiang glanced at the pickled pepper in the bottom corner and was slowly leaning towards the basket.

Since the two of them came on the field to the present, none of the goals have been missed, and every offense has been scored, and it was all scored by Paul George.

"No one should say that the two of them are not compatible now, right?" Teacher Wang in the studio said with a smile.

"Looking at the cooperation between the two of them, I feel like they have played together for many years." Teacher Su also laughed.

"According to this, next season, the Pacers will really skyrocket." Mr. Wang cheered up.

Teacher Su nodded in agreement, Paul George and Xu Xiang, it's really hard to say where they can go.

With 1 minute left in the first quarter, Pickled Pepper was replaced. After all, the injury was just right. Although the state looked good, the playing time still needed to be controlled.

In less than 5 minutes of playing, he scored 9 points and 1 assist. The efficiency is frighteningly high. The main reason is that the entire Pacers team is playing for him, especially Xu Xiang.

Coach Nate looked at Paul George who was out of breath, walked over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, asking:
"how do you feel?"

Pickle raised his head and smiled:

"Great, this is what I want." After speaking, he turned his attention to Xu Xiang who was fighting with the substitute on the field, and murmured:
"He's really nice."

Coach Nate was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and immediately reacted, patted his shoulder and said nothing, but the gratified smile in the corner of his eyes has deeply exposed his current thoughts.

Until 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Pickle played again.

The Heat seemed to have no desire to attack today except for Wade. After Pickle came up, they made another three-pointer and scored 12 points in this game.

During the period, Xu Xiang and Paojiao successfully connected many times, and both of them scored and assisted.

Soon, the game ended. The Pacers beat the Miami Heat 112 to 89 at home. From the 23 points difference between the two sides, we can see the state of the Heat today.

After the game, the ESPN commentary said regretfully:

"It seems that Miami is destined to go through a process of reconstruction. I don't know if Pat Riley will regret seeing this scene."

"LeBron's departure is indeed a big blow to them, but I didn't expect that the Heat, which has assembled the "new Big Three", would be so vulnerable." His companion said.

"However." He paused, lowered his volume and said:

"The Pacers will probably surprise us next year."

On the field, everyone is celebrating the victory of this game. For them, every win now is a guarantee for entering the playoffs.

Xu Xiang and the lonely Wade also hugged. Since Xu Xiang scored 60 points on them last time, they have kept in touch. In Wade's opinion, among the shooting guards in the Eastern Conference, he is most optimistic about Xu Xiang.

"Looking at your posture, are you aiming for the championship?" Wei Deqiang laughed.

Xu Xiang paused, smiled and replied:

"How is it possible? The playoffs have not yet been decided, the championship? Let's talk about it next year."

"Anyway, it's good to have something to look forward to." Wade replied lonely.

Xu Xiang's smile slowly subsided. He also felt the spirit of the Heat team. He was not in a good mood. Instead of speaking, he patted Wade on the shoulder comfortingly.

In this game, Wade came off the bench and scored 26 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, but the team still lost, and he was also sad.

In this game, Xu Xiang played 30 minutes off the bench and scored 21 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds. Most of the assists were done by Paul George.

Paojiao also performed well today. He played 16 minutes off the bench and scored 16 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds. He scored as many points as he played, equal to one point per minute. This efficiency is really too high.

"Coach Nate, how did you think of substituting Xu Xiang and Paul George together?" A reporter asked this question.

Coach Nate thought for a while and said:

"Actually, it wasn't my idea. It was the idea of ​​the two of them. When I heard it sounded good, I tried it, and the effect looked good."

The reporters were in an uproar. It turned out that this was requested by Xu Xiang and Paul George. No wonder they cooperated so tacitly.
