In November's game, the Pacers lost only two games, and they entered December with a record of 14 wins and 2 losses.

In terms of record, only the Knights are above them.

Similarly, Dwyne Wade, the Cavaliers' star, ended Shehou's three-year monopoly on the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November.

Wade in November was the best defender in the league. He averaged 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, leading the team to the league's first record, becoming the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.

Xie Hou's personal data is not bad, averaging 27 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists per game.

Why did he lose to Wade? It can only be said that the league is tired of his frequent monopoly on this award, and Wade deserves the best identity of the Eastern Conference.

Xie Hou himself doesn't care, but Indiana media will inevitably fall into sourness in public opinion when they see the Arthur Prize defeated.

Entering the last month of 2006, the team the Pacers met on the first day of the month was the Seattle Supersonics.

The Supersonics are an overlooked Western Conference team.

After Payton left, this strong team that once stood at the top of the West became mediocre.

Rashad Lewis has no excitement except contract and shooting.

Moreover, his contract is so big that even the acceptor of the junk contract such as the Smiling Assassin, as long as you can shoot, we are a good friend's bastard. The general manager is indifferent.

Another star, Ray Allen, has a bit more complicated situation.

He can be said to be the best scorer in the league.

If the existing three-point output is maintained, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Miller's single-game three-point shooting. As for whether he is the greatest shooter in history, whether he can surpass Miller and become the symbol and totem of the three-pointer in people's hearts depends on whether he can create his own mythical three-pointer like Miller in his remaining career.

Historical status, ranking, strength and weakness are all loved by fans.

Ray Allen hopes to join a competitive team to exert their energy. Therefore, the Supersonics, like other teams that sell their own core, are very willing to send Ray Allen to a good team, as long as there is a suitable offer.

In the first battle of the new moon, the Pacers cut the cow, defeated the Seattles with poor fighting spirit and continued to move forward.

Their journey ended in Texas.

The three Texas heroes, the Mavericks and Spurs and Yao Mai, the Red Team.

For these three teams, only the Mavericks are uneasy about the arrival of the Pacers.

The Spurs faced the Pacers calmly, sitting at home, with a defensive system shrouded in. Tony Parker, who had just reached the peak, and Ginobili, who was placed in the sixth man, defeated the Pacers.

This is the first defeat of the Pacers in December.

Good news came from Yao Mai and Pacers, and Andre Kirilenko officially made a comeback.

The Pacers' defensive system can be said to be the system of the defenders.

Those who don’t know how to defend cannot get in.

Artest's assisted defense is far worse than his single defense, but his defense is exactly the part that the Pacers need. With Artest, the Pacers are complete.

If no one is missing for Xiao Ao, Ak and Arthur who have built a cooperative defense system, the power of the cooperative defense system will be greatly weakened.

These three have averaged 6 caps and 4.8 steals per game for the Pacers in the past four seasons.

This set of data can be viewed like this: due to their existence, the opponent lost five offensive rounds directly, and the Pistons had five more offensive rounds; due to their existence, the opponent was knocked out at least 10 points. At the same time, after the block was completed, he, who was the first in the league in defense and rebound protection, won more than 5 counterattack opportunities for himself.

Think about Xie Hou's counterattack, think about Artest and Papalucas' running.

This is where the Pacers' cooperative defense system is powerful. Their defense and their counterattack are in line with each other, and no part can be missing.

So, what are their advantages for the team led by Yao Mai?

Simply put, celebrities have great advantages.

Yao and McGrady are the best in their respective positions. During this offseason, they won Byron Davis through trades, and Josh Smith, who is also athletic on the wings.

In terms of hard talent, they have the ability to fight against the Pacers.

What determines success or failure is the substitute lineup of both sides.

From the beginning to the end, they didn't see much hope of winning.

Pacers control the situation like clever traders.

107 to 101

With a 6-point gap, the Pacers firmly grasped their veins and left with victory and grace.

I thought that after passing this level, the next road would be easier.

The arrival of the walkers put the Mavericks at a high alert, and everyone here was worried that things would go out of control.

Xie Hou is as panicking as an incognito serial murderer.

One side is the winner, the other side is the loser.

One side is the championship, the other side is the runner-up.

One side has an absolute psychological advantage, while the other side is cautious and dare not make a mistake.

In the just-concluded offseason, the Mavericks have undergone a major cleanup and have set off again to achieve the third record in the league.

The Pacers, who were regarded as their biggest concern, lost the game unexpectedly under such circumstances.

In Texas three away games, the Pacers lost two games, not only were they overtaken by the Mavericks, but they were even unable to keep their fourth position in the league.

Behind them, the Spurs chased closely, and the Bulls were unstoppable.

Like the sun, pistons and walkers all show fatigue.

The loss of Big Ben made the Pistons lose the support point of the defensive system, and Anthony got the greatest freedom and could attack vigorously.

He officially became the core of the Pistons, but found that the team's best chance to win the championship had dissipated with Big Ben's joining Miami.

The Suns are an old problem, with strong offense and bad defense. They can play in the regular season and dare to lose in the playoffs. They can touch the floor in the Western Conference Finals, and never think about the finals. If they maintain their current lineup and system, they will definitely not have the chance to win the cup at Nash's peak.

The Pacers' situation is much better, but they have encountered strong players frequently recently, and it is normal to lose more battles. Their absolute core Xie Hou is in the peak state, with a young lineup, and there is great potential for stability.

The only thing that can affect them is injuries.

Kirilenko's back injury happened just in mid-December, O'Neal's knee injury occurred on the training ground.

Suddenly, the team doctor took him to the hospital for examination and found that he had just twisted his knee while doing low-level exercises.

This twist, he had to rest for half a month.

Kirilenko had just returned, but because he hadn't played for a long time and was in poor condition. O'Neal's injury brought the Pacers back to November 19, 2004.

The Auburn Palace incident made the Pacers lose Artest, O'Neal Jr. (banned), Kirilenko (injured), and several involved substitutes.

For a moment, there were only seven of them able to compete.

Moreover, Miller was still on the injury list at that time, and the entire set of starters was so much that only Xie Hou was left.

The situation in front of us is not as serious as that time, but the black and white evil spirits in the inside line took turns to be injured, which has a great impact on the team's preparation and maintaining state.

"Is Jermaine okay?" someone asked.

"It's certainly not good," Xie Hou said. "He wants to stay healthy more than anyone else."

Foster muttered: "Who will guard against TD tomorrow night when he is injured? We can't be double-killed by the Spurs."

After he finished speaking, Xie Hou actually gave him a smiling face.

Foster noticed the deep meaning of the smiley face and hurriedly said, "No, no! I can't!"

"Who can't do it?" Xie Hou asked, "Zhuzhu? Andre? Stop teasing, unless you want TD to get 60 points."

"Arthur, I don't agree with you!" said Brachi, a second-year, "I will leave six fouls before he scores 60 points."

Wang Zhizhi also said: "So too!"

Xie Hou stared at them seriously and said in a very unrighteous manner: "If we are so difficult that we need you to defend TD, I ask you to use the roughest foul to break his hand."

The players chatted about the Spurs' plans tomorrow night, and the president's office on the second floor, Walsh, Bird, Claire and several assistant coaches were present.

"Last night, Kevin and I had a conversation, it was about trading kg." The person who spoke was Bird.

Everyone stood up at his words.

Bird said: "Suns, the Lakers have very good chips, but he would rather trade kg to the East."

Everyone stared at him.

"If we send Andre Kirilenko, Danny Granger, Andre Brachi and the first round, the deal could be reached." As soon as Bird said, someone had already made a shocking "Hmm?" sound.

Walsh took Bird's words and continued: "There is only a tentative exchange at the moment. The conversation between Larry and Kevin is limited to the two of them. I hope you can express your opinions, express your thoughts, and forget it after you walk out of the room!"

This matter is too much involved and if it breaks out, it will have an indelible impact on the team.

There have been too many cases of transaction rumors that have caused the morale of the military to collapse.

Kirilenko is the key to the Pacers' cooperative defense system, and he is also the best friend of Xie Hou.

Every fan knows that Xie Hou’s nickname is King Arthur, so he should also know that the wizard who helped King Arthur become an immortal king is called Merlin.

Who is Xie Hou's Meilin?

Everyone will say this answer: Kirilenko.

What they are discussing now is to send Arthur's Merlin out and replace a monster that is better than Merlin, but no one knows whether he and Arthur are in harmony will come back.

If Xie Hou knew about this, his reaction would be very strong.

He would object, even if it was a big upside down.

This incident may have an irreversible impact on this young man who was not in Indiana.

Will he be disheartened and request a transaction?

Will he leave Indiana after his contract expires?

No one can figure out Xie Hou's character.

Even if the cost is so high, it is worth discussing, but it requires a unified opinion. If someone disagrees, it is worth discussing and discussing seriously.

It is very difficult and difficult, and Xie Hou's reaction and the team's future are all tied to this. However, considering Kevin Garnett's ownership, if he and Xie Hou can be allowed to cooperate, if they play together, what kind of glory will the Pacers' history go to?

Who can refuse such a beautiful prospect and a magnificent blueprint?
