Claire asked Shehou to play for eight minutes before replacing because the intensity of the match tonight was relatively low. The Bulls did not follow the rules set by each team last season: they must let high, fast and capable people defend Arthur.

Hinrich is indeed a good defender, and no one will try to deny this.

It's just not suitable.

He is very good, just not suitable.

In the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the Detroit Pistons proved with practical actions that the most direct and effective way to defeat the Pacers is to use up all of Xie Hou's physical fitness.

Send a 193 cm defender to defend Xie Hou? Although 193 cm is already taller than an ordinary defender, compared with a 204 cm monster like Xie Hou, it is still two types of players at different levels.

Xie Hou's low-post offense easily beat Sinrich.

Moreover, he didn't look tired at all.

Is there any bad omen than this? After eight minutes of the first quarter, Xie Hou did not feel tired, and the Bulls' pre-match strategy was a mess.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls rely on their talent in the inside to protect the rebounds and grab offensive rebounds, barely seizing the game.

26 to 21

There is a 5-point gap, and there are still some next plays.

In the second quarter, the Bulls' substitute guard, also the Lakers' substitute guard Janero Pago, was also the explosive few minutes of performance last season.

The Bulls never thought the runner-up guard could perform like this.

In those minutes, his hands were so hot that he blew up Gary Payton who was not ready to face the impact.

Pago's outbreak was sudden, and the undrafted draft had not performed well in the previous seasons. He was destined to be the kind of person who would wander around.

He does not have that unique scarcity, but it is okay to live in a cheap price. Whoever uses it knows, so as long as he can tolerate the annual salary, he can survive in the NBA for many years.

This kind of thing is related to personal pursuits. If he goes overseas, he should be able to earn more than 20 million in his career. If he stays in NBA and gets his basic salary, he can only divide it by two (maybe more than that).

Such people are common in NBA, and no team will take special care of him.

So his sudden outbreak caught the Pacer off guard.

Payton's defensive aggressiveness is still there, and his rude trash words are used to teach rookies one by one. But one more realistic problem is that as he grows older, the lateral movement speed has dropped to the lowest level.

The most important thing for defending the ball holder is the horizontal movement speed.

People with slow lateral movement speed can't keep up with the NBA-level change breakthrough. Payton used to have the best lateral movement steps in the entire league, but now his lateral movement steps are between the last and middle streams of the league.

Pago's outbreak, the outside feels hot, and the direct impact is Payton.

He was afraid of the opponent's shooting, and the defense was too high and the opponent got him away with speed.

Because the defense was broken too quickly and suddenly, Kirilenko and others were willing to help but unable to complete it. Pago always took the ball at the moment of breaking the defense.

The Magic used Pago's outbreak to smooth out the first quarter's behind in 5 minutes.

34 to 34

As Pago called for pick-and-roll, the outside line took over Howard's steel-like wall, and pulled up three points like Stephen Curry 12 years later. He was confident that he took action like a god and made a move!

37 to 34

"The magical Janero Pago!"

"He personally performed to help the Bulls overtake!"

"The Pacers requested a pause!"

9 points and 2 assists, this is Pago's performance in five minutes.

Among them, he made 3 of 3-pointers, and he seized all the opportunities left to him by the Pacers.

Payton squirted a lot of swear words and shouted: "Who can guard against that xxx, I will just pack him for half a month's dinner!"

Xie Hou was about to speak.

"Of course, you xx can't be more aggressive, and you can't have more than $500 in a meal!" Payton added.

This matter suddenly lost its appeal - for Xie Hou.

"I can give it a try." Papalucas decided to hold Pago for the free dinner for half a month.

Payton is optimistic about Papalucas' development, and his problem is that he has always been unable to grasp the penalty standards of Europe and the NBA.

With his defense under the fiba rules, if he can play 70%, he will be a defender with the potential to enter the best defensive lineup.

It is tall and defensive, and the pace and speed are excellent.

This kind of player is simply born to beat the defense lineup.

(Any generation of 2k games with Sun Yue, as long as he raises his rating to 80, he can be selected into the defense lineup for ten consecutive years)

Even if it doesn't cost half a month's free dinner, Claire will give the Greeks a try.

When the Greeks don't burn CPUs, they are definitely the most comprehensive defender on the outside.

If you explain it thoroughly, the pedestrians' internal and external lines are somewhat biased towards the subject.

Artest focuses on single defense, while the rest of the people focus on assisting defense, only Papalucas, single defense, assisting defense, rotation, and supplementary defense... He is excellent in everything the defender needs to do, but he just can't control the referee's context.

At the end of the suspension, the Pacers got off Peyton and Artest and Crohill, and went up to Sherlock, Papalucas and Kirirenko.

For the Bulls, the two towers in the interior are still there, while Pago's partner Hinrich and Martin are on the outside.

At this point, the Bulls, who aspired to be the top scorer, dreamed of defeating the Pacers.

They can lose to any team, but the goal of losing is to win for the future.

If you can beat the defending champion now, it will be an inspiration for the morale of players and fans.

Any team that plays badly requires this kind of self-comfort of "we are not bad, we just don't want to win".

Whenever Xie Hou saw Sinrich coming to guard him, he wanted to beat him on his back.

For some reason, destroying these little guards made him more excited than scoring from a long shot.

Papalucas guessed what he thought when he saw his expression.

"Give me the ball!" the Greek shouted.

As expected, my old teammates understood me. Xie Hou smiled and passed the ball, and started to call out Kirilian Coswala. Foster still shrank near the paint area.

Xie Hou first walked to the bottom corner and then entered the left wing's median goal.

"It's another back-beating!"

"It seems Arthur is determined to amplify his physical advantages."

"You only know this trick?" Xinrich finally said to Xie Hou furiously.

This is their first conversation tonight.

"If something is delicious, won't you keep eating it?"

Xie Hou received the pass, and then he made a thunderous back shot, which overturned Sinrich on the spot.

His movements were too rough, and it was clearly in line with the specifications. Because Sinrich's fall was too amazing, the referee gave Xie Hou an offensive foul.

Hinrich fell to the ground in pain.

Xie Hou handed the ball to the referee in depression, and he looked back at the iron guard.

"Aren't you tired of it?" Hinrich asked angrily.

Of course you will get tired of it. You will get tired of it as delicious as roasted lamb legs, but the "eating" people on the court and the eating table are different after all.

Xie Hou stayed there and said something to Sinrich that the latter would never forget for life: "It depends on whether you taste delicious."

If Xie Hou can continue to play Hinrich from the first quarter until the end of the game, the question of whether Hinrich is delicious will be answered.

But from now until the end of the game? Not to mention the end of the game, Hinrich was even unwilling to continue to take Xie Hou's back-attack.

A person as tough as him is a little scared.

It's really scary.

The moment when Xie Hou bumped into him was completely an inside-line force. He was not like the outside-line back-playing. He had to find the rhythm of shooting and wanted to shake the space. He was a completely traditional inside-line bulldozer, and he had no skills. He relied on his weight and body tortured all the defenders who were smaller than him.

Any defender who takes Xie Hou's back can experience the hardships of the inside.

They will know that it is so difficult to play inside.

Because Xie Hou's back hit is like experiencing death for them, each impact has the impact that makes people crushed to pieces.

Pago, who shined in this section, met the calm Papalucas.

Papalucas's movements were still very big, as if he didn't know the referee's testimony was staring at him.

"Do you think you are not fouling enough?" Pago asked.

Papalucas has a long face, and usually this expression only appears on the faces of people attending the funeral or those who have funerals at home.

But on the court, he always has this face. There should be nothing more difficult to deal with when facing the enemy than an opponent who is facing a "Your family is dead" expression and then using defense to make you feel stressed so hard to breathe.

"If this guy can't figure out the difference between excessive force and pressure, he will never become an elite-level outer wing defender." Payton shook his head.

Miller smiled and said, "Gary, don't just show off your power. Since you know everything, why don't you teach him?"
