One Hundred and Forty-Six: Public Enemy at Consecco Arena

"Tony, did Zach wrap you around in the SUV yesterday?"

Before the game started, in the visiting team's locker room, seeing Randolph gloomy, Link deliberately scolded Randolph in front of him. He thought to himself that Randolph might have lost to Tony Allen on the track yesterday, otherwise he would not have a bitter face due to his character.

"Loop? We didn't get off the track at all." Tony Allen replied while changing his jersey.

"What? Then why did you go to the racetrack?"

"Going to see others off the track, there is a stipulation in our contract that we can't participate in a high-risk sport like car racing, which can easily lead to injuries."

After listening to Tony Allen say this, Link remembered that it seemed to be the case. No wonder Randolph is unhappy now. It turned out that he went to the racetrack yesterday to watch people play all night...

"Hey, it seems that you have to wait until you retire if you want to play racing. Link, how were you yesterday? Did Paul George introduce you to a female star?" Randolph finally opened his mouth, but he decided to bring up the topic. to Link.

"Female star? What are you thinking? Do you think this is Los Angeles?" Link replied without blushing. Fortunately, Paul George was not in this locker room, so Link would not be afraid of being exposed.

"Damn, that's boring, having dinner with a big man so late."

"It was an old classmate meeting. You thought you were all like you, with only women in your mind." Tony Allen stood on Link's side this time.

"Besides women, I still have Fast and Furious in my mind."

"Okay, stop speed and passion. Have you changed your equipment? We're ready to go to the court to warm up!" Hollins stepped into the locker room and ended the players' chat.

Contrary to the relaxed attitude of the players, Hollins walked into the locker room with a serious face, and it was obvious that the guy was very interested in the Pacers.

The Indiana Pacers' record this season is actually not very good. Like the Grizzlies, they are currently struggling in the eighth place. A little bit of inattentive, it is possible to fall out of the ranks of the playoffs.

But the Pacers are in the East after all, and the win gap between the eighth in the East and the eighth in the West is huge. The Pacers' current record is 30 wins and 39 losses. If this record is placed in the West, it would have to be ranked last.

But even so, Hollins did not dare to slack off against the opponent in front of him. After all, they still have a chance to make the playoffs, so this team is high-spirited, and they will try their best to win every game. In this regard, they are vastly different from teams like the Clippers.

A team's desire to win and fighting spirit will determine their state on the court.

"As I said in the tactics class yesterday, the Indiana Pacers are also a defensive-minded team, and their coach, Frank Vogel, also commands the team with a defense-first concept. So, today we You have to be patient on the offensive end."

The players changed their clothes, Hollins said. In fact, the specific requirements of today's game have been laid out and practiced by Hollins yesterday. So today, Hollins just helped the players to impress before the game.

"The biggest weakness of the Pacers is that they have very weak rebound protection. Yes, their starting center Roy Hibbert is 2.18 meters tall, but other than him, the rebounding enthusiasm is not strong. . The Pacers are robbing opponents of 13.3 offensive rebounds per game this season, and this is our chance. We can take the second offense today to pull the score, so be hungry for rebounds.”

After Hollins finished speaking, he glanced at the locker room, and when he saw that everyone was almost ready, he waved, "Go on the court, when our feet land in Memphis, I hope we have a three-game winning streak."

The atmosphere of today's game is not so warm, after all, this is not a focused battle.

But for the coaches and players of the two teams, this game is extremely crucial. Specifically, for the eighth-place teams in the division,

Every game is the key. Because one more loss, they increase their odds of being knocked out of the playoffs by one more point.

Before the game, Link and George had a casual chat. But since the two of them just had dinner yesterday, they dispersed after a few words.

As soon as George returned to his own half, he was entangled by one of his teammates. "You will start playing at No. 2 today, so I should have a chance to fight him during the rotation time."

"You wouldn't want to play against him, Lance, he's not a messy guy." George patted the guy named Lance on the shoulder. This player who was a little shorter than George was no one else. It is the No. 1 of the Pacers, the future number one "Zhan Blow" Lance Stephenson of the league!

Stephenson and George are the same rookies, so the two have a good relationship. Although there is a big difference in personality between the two, it does not prevent them from becoming friends.

Most teams have a funny character. The Grizzlies are Randolph, and the Pacers are Stephenson.

The guy stared at Link with bulging eyes, as if he wanted to eat him. Stephenson and Link have no personal grudges, this is just Stephenson's attitude towards the game.

He is hostile to all his opponents, and he will deal with his own counterparts in a brutal and ferocious way.

"I know he's not easy to mess with, that's why I think I'll meet him. Play well, George, don't give him any chance. Although the scoring data of the two of us is not so good, we have to let these high draft picks see our determination. ."

"Uh... Link is undrafted, Lance... So strictly speaking, you are a high-draft rookie to him..." George shook his head, Stephenson can't figure out what's going on.

"Fuck him, I mean, we're going to make all the great rookies taste great. Come on George, I'm sure you're much better than him."

Stephenson didn't care about these details, in short, he just wanted to kill Link. Anyway, this kind of stubborn guy never needs too strict logic to do things.

George smiled and shook his head. From Link's point of view, Stephenson was really annoying. But from a teammate's point of view, Stephenson is really likable.

After all, no one would hate a teammate who is full of fighting spirit all the time.

After the warm-up, players from both sides stood in designated positions, and the Consecco Arena slowly became lively.

"The players on both sides are already in place and neither team has changed their starting lineup for this game."

"The Pacers start with Hibbert, Hansbrough, Granger, George and Collison. For the Grizzlies, the starting lineup hasn't changed since Gay got hurt."

Reggie Miller, who explained the game, quickly introduced the starters of both sides. As soon as he finished speaking, the referee threw the basketball high. Hibbert, who is 2.18 meters tall, won the basketball, and the Pacers took the lead.

Seeing Hibbert abruptly striving to take basketball away from Gasol's head, Link couldn't help but sigh, "It's really high!"

Little Gasol is 2.16 meters tall. Every time he goes to the basket, Link feels like a tower standing in the penalty area.

However, Hibbert was actually two centimeters taller than Gasol Jr. Most importantly, Hibbert's body is taller than the slightly chubby little Gasol, which makes him visually taller.

No wonder this guy will be called "Black Yao Ming" in the future. Speaking of which, how tall is the real Yao Ming...

Darren Collison took possession of the ball past halftime. He and Hansbrough played a pick-and-roll, made a breakthrough, but actually scored the ball and hit Daniel Granger.

During this period, Granger was undoubtedly the Pacers' first scoring point. He averaged 20.5 points per game this season, the highest for the Pacers. In the NBA2K10 game, Granger's rating is as high as 83. That is to say, except for James, Durant, Melon and others, it is his level.

Granger's official height is 2.03 meters, but Link can guarantee that it will never be more than that. Because compared with Link, who is also 2.03 meters, Granger is obviously taller.

After catching the ball, Granger took a step to test Link. Seeing that Link didn't respond, he made a direct breakthrough and attacked decisively and quickly!

Link immediately followed, but as soon as he got up to speed, Granger made a pull-up jumper! I have to say, this guy's control of the offensive rhythm is superb!

Granger's shot is fast among small forwards, so when Link raised his hand to interfere, the guy was already throwing the ball.

The next second, the Nets at Consecco Arena rolled over. The basketball hollowed into the net, and Granger gave Link a dismay as soon as he came on the court!

"Beautiful attack, Daniel Granger is very serious today. It seems that he has heard of Link's name a long time ago, and he dare not take it lightly!"

After scoring the goal, Granger glared at Link fiercely, and then quickly retreated. George pouted, it seems that Stephenson is not the only one who wants to kill Link at Consecco Arena today.
