New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 303 Against the Pacers

Indiana has never been a big ball market, at least not compared to Los Angeles.This also led to the star effect that the Pacers were keen on for a period of time, and the final result was to destroy others and themselves.

When the famous coach Duncan took office, the Pacers also took on a new look.Not only did he pack the three so-called stars hoarded by the team in exchange for a few fresh blood with good strength and potential, but he also re-tailored new tactics for the team.

In this all-soldier team, the starting lineup is not fixed. In addition to adjusting according to the opponent, it will even consider the player's evaluation level before the game to choose the best.

Duncan's experience is not rich, but he is a young coach with a very high golf intelligence. In addition, he has the same name as the legendary star 'Stone Buddha' Duncan, and he immediately became popular as soon as he appeared in the public eye.

Not only did he take the Pacers in the lottery zone to the third place in the East in his first year.Because of the huge improvement in the record and the fact that the team's lineup is not a qualitative improvement, this makes the judges very fond of Duncan. The best coach may be the greatest affirmation of this rookie coach.

Before this game against the Lakers, Duncan also took the players to make an evaluation, and the result was as he expected.Facing the so-called three masters of the brown bear, he has already made complete preparations.

Wacker can also be regarded as a rookie among the coaches, and his starting point is much higher than that of players like Duncan who were unknown in the period.

And after entering the Hall of Fame, if he can play well in the Lakers, he may even become the second man to be selected into the top 100 players and top 100 coaches at the same time.

This game is the best experience. The Lakers carefully studied the opponent's video for this purpose. Unfortunately, because the Pacers' lineup is changeable, they really don't know what will happen in the real fight.

God knows how Duncan came up with these tactics, because old Nelson, the inventor of tactics before him, didn't come out of nothing, and the bombardment was completely derived from the characteristics of his players.But this Duncan is not. He is like a chess player who is always making arrangements, and he is very sophisticated.

This game is also regarded as the biggest test the Lakers have encountered since the start of the game. Before it even started, the tickets for the Staples Arena were sold out again.You must know that in the hard-hit NBA league, a team like the Lakers that sits at home and has no absences looks at the entire league and there is no second team.

Even the dynasty team Golden State Warriors is the same.Because it has become a tradition for them to win, the audience lacks a lot of passion and fun.

So now the Warriors may lose games that are likely to be full. For example, the Lakers game six days later, not only the tickets are sold out, the first volleyball tickets have been fired to more than 5 US dollars, and the special seats have even reached 6. You must know that even the All-Star Game and the Finals seldom have such a hot sales situation.

The first official confrontation between Curry's successor and the deity of Curry is certainly eye-catching enough, not to mention that the two men's matchups in the preseason were already exciting enough, but at that time the two teams were very different. None of them showed their true skills, including them.

Whether the Pacers, a stumbling block, can stop the invincible Lakers in this game has also become the most important topic in the four simultaneous games tonight.

When warming up before the game, the 12 Pacers team were as meticulous as soldiers, and no one could tell which one was the starter in this game.

Because when Duncan taught tactics and problems, he treated them equally, and even when he was talking, everyone gathered together.This is easy to say, but it is actually very harsh for a professional team, because NBA teams are commercial leagues, and the status of stars is different from ordinary people.

Even the Pacers have players who can average 20+ per game. In fact, they are a bit like the Spurs in the Popovich era. The team with the best GDP may not perform as well as a substitute rotation.

It's just that the Pacers have done more thoroughly than the Spurs, because they don't have a core team like GDP.Players who scored 20+ this time may play as substitutes in the next game because their style of play is restrained.

Wacker carefully observed Duncan's words and deeds. If the current head coach in the league made him worthy of respect.In addition to the famous coaches of those workers, it may be this Duncan.

If an ordinary head coach kicks a star player to the bench, he will definitely be mercilessly attacked by the Internet and that player.But Duncan's charisma keeps his relationships with all players in healthy territory.

Coupled with the fact that the Pacers set out to refresh everyone's results time and time again, this made him have no obvious black spots. There are not many head coaches who are not scolded on the Internet, but when it comes to good coaches, he is always in everyone's mind. Top few.

Although the Pacers have always been a strong contender for the Eastern Conference championship, their news exposure is not high.The most recent interview Duncan accepted was his opinion on Zhang Yi.

At that time, Duncan praised the astonishing strength of the Eastern player, and more importantly, he also mentioned the ability of the coach Wacker in his words, so this made everyone in the Lakers have a good impression of him.

Before the game, the Pacers players were friendly.Even if the Lakers players have several times their resources, it doesn't matter, because it's just a job for players to play on the court. They have high salaries and their only purpose is to win.

Duncan can make them win, and if they leave the Pacers, whether they can still perform such a strong performance, in fact, these players know very well.It's hard because they don't have stars on them.

Even if it's jealousy, Zhang Yi is the most conspicuous in their eyes.But it has nothing to do with the game.

The game officially opened, and the Pacers really came up with an unconventional starting lineup.There is no real center among these five people. The tallest one is only 2 meters, which is even 06 centimeters shorter than Wally.

The on-site commentator thought that the reason why the Pacers lowered their average height in this game was to fear the Lakers' counterattack.But it's not the case. These guys can defend, but their speed is not particularly advantageous...

"I still can't understand Duncan's game, but it is unexpected enough that he didn't continue to use the core small forward who played 30+ in the previous game."

Another commentator immediately said, "There is no core in the Pacers. Anyone can get 30+!" This is really not an exaggeration at all.

Among the five starters, only shooting guard Tony was also the starter in the previous game.The deadliest of the others should be 'Quick Gunner' Philip. Just like his nickname, he has superb shooting skills, and he is also a good fast break player...

But from all this, it is impossible to guess how the Pacers will play this game. "It should be very interesting." Zhang Yi said excitedly.Wacker nodded, "It should be!"
