146: Public Enemy Support at Consecco Arena!)

"Tony, Zach drove a SUV to you all the way yesterday."

Before the game started, in the visiting team's locker room, when Link saw Randolph being depressed, he deliberately scolded him. He thought to himself that Randolph might have lost to Tony Allen on the track yesterday, otherwise he would not have looked bitter.

"Round? We didn't go off the track at all." Tony Allen answered while changing his jerseys.

"What? Then what are you doing in the racing tract?"

"Let's see others go down the track. Our contract stipulates that we cannot participate in high-risk sports such as racing that can easily lead to injuries."

After hearing Tony Allen say this, Link remembered that this seems to be the case. No wonder Randolph is depressed now. It turned out that he went to the racing stadium to watch someone play all night.

"Hey, I think I can only wait until after I retire. Link, how were you yesterday? Did Paul George introduce female stars to you?" Randolph finally spoke, but he decided to bring the topic to Link.

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

"Damn, that's boring. I've had dinner with a big man so late."

"It's just that old classmates met. You think they all look like you, and there are only women in your mind." Tony Allen stood on Link's side this time.

"In addition to women, I have speed and passion in my mind."

"Okay, don't have the speed and passion. Have you changed your equipment? We're going to warm up on the court!" Hollins stepped into the locker room and ended the players' chat.

Unlike the players' relaxed expressions, Hollins looked serious when he walked into the locker room, and it was obvious that this guy was very concerned about the Pacers.

The Indiana Pacers' record this season is actually not very good. They are currently struggling in the eighth place like the Grizzlies. If you are not careful, you may fall out of the playoffs.

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

But even so, Hollins dared not slacken with the opponent in front of him. After all, they still have the chance to enter the playoffs, so this team is full of fighting spirit and will do their best to win every game. In this regard, they are very different from teams such as the Clippers.

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

"I already talked about it in tactical class yesterday. The Indiana Pacers are also a defensive team. Their head coach Frank Vogel also commands the team with the concept of defense first. So, today we must be patient on the offensive end."

While changing clothes, Hollins said. In fact, Hollins had already arranged the specific requirements for today's game yesterday and practiced it. So today, Hollins just helped the players deepen their impression before the game.

"The biggest disadvantage of the Pacers is that their rebounding protection is very weak. Yes, their center Roy Hibert is 2.18 meters tall, but other people are not very enthusiastic about rebounding. This season, the Pacers will be snatched 13.3 frontcourt rebounds per game by their opponents, which is our opportunity. We can seize the second offensive opportunity to open the score today, so keep a desire for rebounds."

After Hollins finished speaking, he glanced at the locker room and saw that everyone was almost ready, he waved his hand, "Go on the court, when our feet landed in Memphis, I hope we have already recorded three consecutive victories."

The atmosphere of this game today is not that hot, after all, this is not a focus battle.

But for the head coaches and players of the two teams, this game is extremely critical. To be precise, for the two teams in the eighth division, each game is critical. Because if one more game is lost, they will increase the chance of being kicked out of the playoffs by one more point.

Before the game started, Link and George chatted casually. But since the two had just had a meal yesterday, they broke up after a few words.

George just returned to his half, when he was entangled by one of his teammates, "You will play the second position today, so when I rotate, I should have a chance to fight him."

"You don't want to fight him, Lance, he's not a guy who's easy to mess with." George patted the guy named Lance on the shoulder. This player who was shorter than George was no one else. He was the Pacers' No. 1, the league's number one "Jane" Lance Stephenson!

Stephenson and George are rookies in the same class, so they have a good relationship. Although the difference in personality between the two is quite large, this does not affect their becoming friends.

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

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

He is hostile to all his opponents, and he will deal with his own opponents in a rough and vicious way.

"I know he is not easy to mess with, so I want to meet him. Be good at performing, George, don't give him any chance. Although the score statistics of both of us are not that good, we have to let these high-ranking rookies see our determination."

"Elink is out of the draft, so strictly speaking, you are the rookie with a high pick to him." George shook his head. Could this guy Stephenson be clear about the situation?

"Don't worry, I mean, we want all the great rookies to taste the great. Come on, George, I believe you are much better than him."

Stephenson doesn't care about these details. In short, he just wants to kill Link. Anyway, such a stubborn guy never needs too rigorous logic when doing things.

George smiled and shook his head. From Link's perspective, Stephenson was really annoying. But from the perspective of his teammates, Stephenson was really popular.

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

After the warm-up, the players from both sides stood in the designated locations, and the Kangsaiko Stadium gradually became lively.

"The players on both sides are in place, and neither team has changed their roster in this game."

"The Pacers, namely Hibert, Hansbrew, Granger, George and Collison. The Grizzlies have not changed since Guy was injured."

Reggie Miller, who commented on this game, quickly introduced both sides. As soon as he finished speaking, the referee threw the basketball high. Hibert, who was 2.18 meters tall, won the basketball, and the Pacers attacked first.

Seeing Hibert competing for basketball from Gasol since he was young, Link couldn't help but sigh, "It's so tall!"

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

However, Hibert was actually two centimeters taller than Gasol. Most importantly, Hibert's figure was longer than Gasol, who was slightly fat, which made him look taller visually.

No wonder this guy will be called "Black Yao Ming" in the future. To put it this way, how tall is the real Yao Ming?

After halftime, Darren Collison played a pick-and-roll with Hansblu, making a breakthrough, but actually passed the ball and hit Daniel Granger.

Granger was undoubtedly the Pacers' first scoring point during this period. His average of 20.5 points per game this season is the highest for the Pacers. In the NBA2k10 game, Granger's score is as high as 83. In other words, except for James, Durant and Melon, he is the one in the range.

Granger's official height is 2.03 meters, but Link can guarantee that it will not stop. Because compared with Link, who is also 2.03 meters, Granger is obviously taller.

After receiving the ball, Granger took a step to test Link. Seeing that Link did not respond, he broke through directly and attacked decisively and quickly!

Link immediately followed, but as soon as he started, Granger stopped and jumped on the jump shot! I have to say that this guy has a very exquisite control over the offensive rhythm!

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

The next second, the nets in the Consecco Arena rolled up. The basketball was hollowed into the net, and Granger gave Link a warning 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 for a long time, and he dare not take it lightly!"
