NBA: No. 1 Forward

【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】

On the team bus, Granger and Paul George are chatting.

"sickle got the dpoy, I'm really envious."

Paul George flipped through the media's interviews with Lian Dao and the photos of Lian Dao excitedly holding up the best defense trophy, his eyes full of envy.

He also wants to be like Lian Dao, full of honors, and become the most shining one under the spotlight.

But Paojiao himself knows that he is still far behind, especially in the two seasons of fighting, Lian Dao left a deep impression on him.

During Granger's injury last season, Paul George played against Lian Dao at the third position.

If Paojiao was asked to describe the feeling of playing against Lian Dao, he would sum it up in two words: suffocation!

Defense is suffocating, and offense is also suffocating!

However, this also inspired Paojiao's competitive spirit, and he spent a lot of time on training.

This season's progress is the best proof.

"What do you think we have a chance of winning this round?"

Paul George asked Granger, the boss of the team.

In fact, Paul George is still very confident about the Pacers.

Because the Pacers this season and last year's Pacers are no longer teams of the same level.

From the individual players to the team lineup, they have all completed the transformation.

It can be said that the team has made visible progress this season.

"Four percent!"

Granger curled up his pinkie, but finally straightened all four.

This number is actually very conservative, but Granger thinks that they may not even reach 40%.

"Boss, we need to be more confident. Amare is no longer in the same state as he was a year ago. I believe David can deal with him."

"As for sickle...it's a bit troublesome, but I believe that the two of us will work together to restrain him without any problem!"

Young Paul George keeps his fighting spirit high.

"We have no right to underestimate them, Paul!"

"Especially sickle, he is much more difficult to deal with than LeBron!"

Danny Granger is more mature and rational than the young Pickle Pepper.

There is a kind of calmness revealed in him, after having endured severe beatings from society.

"Of course, we are facing the defending champions, but we are not bad, aren't we? Besides, what if we accidentally kill them?"

Looking at the way Pickled Pepper speaks, it looks very much like himself when he first entered the league.

Facing the Cavaliers and James back then, Danny Granger also thought this way.

But Granger, who became the starter in the second year of the rookie, played against James for the first time in the season, and he was only defended with 4 points, 6 rebounds and 5 fouls.

He made 0 of 6 shots in the matchup with James.

It can be said that for the first real matchup, he was given zero blocks by James!

And James scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in that game.

However, the Pacers won that game.

Therefore, Danny Granger did not refute or dissuade Pickled Pepper. On the contrary, he admired this little brother's fighting spirit.

Young people are not afraid of madness, but they are afraid of lack of fighting spirit and dare not challenge to higher heights.

So, Danny Granger just nodded.

He may not have the youthful vigor of pickled peppers now, but he has a heart to prove himself.

It's not that Granger has heard the evaluation of him from the outside world. Many people say that he no longer has the strength of an All-Star player back then.

Even some fans think that Paul George has greater potential than him.

In this regard, Granger did not deny that he was also very optimistic about his little brother.

And Paul George respected him too.

Granger is also very happy about Paul George's growth.

In fact, Granger doesn't value the position of the boss of the team. If George grows up, he is willing to give up.

However, no one remains indifferent after hearing the outside world's doubts about themselves!

Therefore, Danny Granger also wanted to aspire to prove himself.

Although the defending champion Knicks is a challenge, it may not be an opportunity.

As long as they cross the powerful Knicks, even the Big Three of the Heat, they will have greater confidence to win.

Moreover, pickled peppers are all about the advantages they have.

Competing on the same stage, everyone has a chance to win the championship. Since the Knicks could do it last year, why can't the Pacers this year?

…

May 12, 7 p.m., Madison Square Garden.

The entire arena was completely full, and the enthusiasm of the fans before the semifinals was significantly higher than in the first round.

Mainly the opponents in the first round, the strength gap is really a bit big, the fans didn't see Lian Dao's real strength, and then the game was over.

The Pacers are different. Their team's growth this season is obvious to all.

The Pacers have a lot of momentum this season, and their record once surpassed the Celtics and the Eagles, the veteran playoff teams, and ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Especially in the second half of the regular season, even in the face of the Heat's Big Three, they still managed not to fall behind.

And this year Paul George is also famous.

Although he lost to Ryan Anderson in the competition for the most improved player, his popularity is no worse than that of the opponent.

On the contrary, the young Paojiao is more favored by fans.

Plus star Danny Granger.

Although the state has declined, but never underestimate the potential of a veteran All-Star player to explode in the playoffs.

And George Hill, David West, Royne Hibbert…

This year's Pacers have obviously grown to the point where they can compete with the Knicks.

During the warm-up before the game, the live camera showed Paul George and Danny Granger, the twin stars of the Pacers.

Through the large LED screen at the scene, Lian Dao saw the confidence on the faces of the two.

Could this round of the series be as simple as the first round?

…

The warm-up before the game is over, and the starting lineups of the two teams have also been released one after another.

Pacers: George Hill, Paul George, Danny Granger, David West, Royon Hibbert.

Knicks: Holiday, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Stoudemire, Cousins.

The lineups on both sides are the same as before, all of them are full main lineups.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Cousins ​​jumped and beat Hibbert, giving the Knicks the chance to take the lead.

[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and have many voices for reading aloud. Both Android and Apple are available for .huanyuanapp. 】

Although it was the semifinals, D'Antoni did not change his offensive strategy.

It was still the same as the game against the Magic. Lian Dao used singles to contain the opponent's defense, and then supported the team's offense.

The Pacers are the same as before, still using their personal abilities to defend alone.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks' first offense made the Pacers players realize that their defense has not yet reached the real airtightness.

Lian Dao dribbled the ball and broke into the inside line in the first attack, after attracting Hibbert's help defense.

Passed the ball directly from a gap and assisted Cousins ​​with a flying dunk.

"Is this the best defense you've come up with?"

After Lian Dao assisted Cousins ​​to score, he did not forget to taunt Danny Granger.

Feeling the fighting spirit of the Pacers, his desire to play was stimulated at the beginning.

Granger has always been a strong offensive and defensive player~www.readwn.com~ What is most commendable about him is his enthusiasm for defense.

But his real defensive strength is barely reaching the upper-middle level.

In order for the Pacers' defensive system to play its biggest role, this requires each player's defensive ability to reach the first-class level of players in the same position.

Otherwise, they would not be able to strangle their opponents to death, and would show their flaws.

The foundation of the Pacers' foothold is defense.

Offense is not the Pacers' strength. As early as when Larry Bird was a coach, he didn't know how to arrange offense.

At that time, I had to open the tactical notes of assistant coach Rick Carlisle during the Trail Blazers period, and sell them now.

Paul George's offensive state is very unstable, and sometimes he can score 30+ supernaturally.

But there are also many times when you will face a "super ghost" state, and you can't make a goal no matter what.

The team only values ​​defense. On the first day of training camp this season, Vogel called Hill, Hibbert and George to the locker room.

Have them stretch their arms and stand side by side.

"I just want to show these guys that we're amazingly tall and we're taking advantage of the defense!"

Vogel said.

…

"Danny didn't put a lot of pressure on Sickle on the defensive end!"

On the commentary side, Mike Breen was obviously not satisfied with Granger's defense of the first ball.

"brush!"

Just as soon as he finished speaking, David West took advantage of the inside footsteps, turned around and scored in the middle distance against Stoudemire.

David West changed his weak state during the regular season.

David West, who entered the playoffs, has a simple style of play, solid basic skills, and decisive shots.
