The Godfather of Basketball

Artest, Battier, Butler, Parsons, and Green who can swing.

This lineup is definitely enough for a team to start.

Casey didn't speak, he heard something, but didn't seem to hear it.

"It's nothing, let's get ready." Tang Tian waved his hand.

The Cavaliers' back-to-back home opponents are the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers signed David West this season, and their strength has improved significantly. They currently rank third in the East with a record of 11 wins and 5 losses, beating Celtics, Eagles, Magic and other old teams, and the Heat Tied to become the two new forces in the Eastern Conference in the new season.

Cleveland's popularity is much less than yesterday. On the one hand, the Christmas game has ended, and on the other hand, James is absent due to injury.

Under the introduction of DJ, the starters of the two teams appeared one after another.

For the Cavaliers, Paul Green played in the backcourt, Yao Ming and Artest played inside, and Battier replaced James as the starting small forward.

For the Pacers, Darren Collison and Paul George are on the outside, Roy Hibbert and David West are on the inside, and Granger is at small forward.

Yao Ming gave the Cavaliers the first opportunity to attack.

Paul broke through Hibbert and scored a layup after Yao Ming's pick-and-roll in the frontcourt.

With James not on the court, the offensive dominance naturally came to Paul and Yao Ming, while Battier and Green's two 3Ds completely opened up the offensive space.

In the Pacers' round, Collison's outside ball, George and Granger's off-ball pick-and-roll, George cuts under the basket, and Granger goes out.

Hibbert pulls to a high pick-and-roll. After Collison used the pick-and-roll to attract the attention of the defense, he hit the ball to an air cut to George, and George accelerated his low-handed layup.

Vogel was born as a video editor and has a high understanding of tactics. After gaining the immediate combat power of George and West one after another, he created a set of very suitable tactics for the Pacers.

Paul picks and rolls back to Yao Ming, and the latter advances again from the mid-range.

But in turn, Granger held the ball and West's pick-and-roll, and returned the latter's high jumper.

The Cavaliers suddenly lost James, and the deterrence of both offensive and defensive ends of the forward line has declined significantly, while the Pacers have West and Granger, and more than half of the team's scoring is concentrated on the forward line.

After playing for more than 8 minutes in the first quarter, no one could defend anyone, and the score of 20 tied was directly stalemate.

The two sides began to replace the substitutes one after another.

The Cavaliers have Jeremy Lin, Parsons and Whiteside on the side, and Green and Battier are also in the starting lineup.

On the Pacers side, West, Granger and Collison got off, and Hansbrough, Dengtai Jones and George Hill got on.

Come up to the Pacers' offense, Hill and Hibbert's pick-and-roll, split and retreat to the three-point line.

"boom!"

The ball goes out of the basket.

Whiteside caught Hibbert and was about to close the defensive rebound, but Hibbert was tall and didn't jump to take off the offensive rebound.

At this moment, a figure quickly cut into the basket.

It's George!

Hibbert gave the ball, and George jumped up with the ball.

Whiteside was held down by Hibbert and couldn't jump up.

"Boom!"

With a heavy dunk with both hands, the whole body swung around the basket, and his physical fitness soared!

After landing, George also roared twice excitedly.

In his rookie period, his physical fitness was as good as that of a first-line swingman.

Jeremy Lin's organization, the two pick and roll outside the three-point line, Jeremy Lin used the pick and roll to go straight to the basket.

His breakthrough was quick, tearing apart the Pacers' defense, and Hansbrough recovered the basket.

At this moment, Jeremy Lin made a beautiful pass back from the crowd to Parsons on the outside.

Parsons got a three-point shot, caught the ball and shot directly.

"boom!"

The ball hit the basket high and hit the basket, rebounded and shot into the net bag.

Parsons also scored a three-pointer!

The fans at the scene burst into cheers instantly.

As far as the Cavaliers' coaching staff is concerned, Parsons brought the feel of the training game to the game.

But for the fans at the scene, this is the team's rookie's first appearance, and he won't be frightened and hit a three-pointer on the field, with unlimited potential!

And more importantly, this person is so handsome.

Appearance is a big killer to attract popularity in any field.

The Pacers' offense was also the cooperation of Hill and George. After breaking through to attract double-teams, George received the ball from the oblique side and scored the ball after confronting Battier in the air.

There was a commotion at the scene.

This second-year student named George became the main offensive point of the Pacers' bench.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench and shouted at his players: "Keep him outside the three-point line! He has no shooting ability!"

With the Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin broke through again. This time the Pacers did not shrink, and he directly chose to pull the bar for a layup.

Hibbert at the basket interfered, and the referee did not blow due to suspicion of a thug.

There was booing at the scene, but Whiteside proved his strength, jumped up from the double-team of Hansbrough and George, grabbed the offensive rebound, and directly distributed it to Parsons on the outside.

Parsons hadn't voted yet, and there was already a burst of cheers from the scene.

Jones flew over to help defend, and Parsons played very smartly. After a little shake, he took a step in to the free throw line, and then shot again.

"boom!"

The ball is still hitting the board, and it can be felt that his shooting is not stable.

"Shua!"

But after the ball hits the board, it still goes in!

He felt really good tonight.

The cheers and screams at the scene intensified, and many girls' eyes were bubbling.

George over there, Parsons here, the two teams have entered the dialogue PK between potential new stars during the bench period.

The Pacers' offense, George and Hansbrough pick and roll off the ball and then catch the ball to Parsons.

With one step of acceleration, George directly used his body to confront Parsons and rushed to the basket to face Whiteside's spinning layup, which directly caused the latter's thug foul.

George goes to the free throw line.

At this moment Tang Tian turned around and called Butler up.

In these few rounds, neither Battier nor Parsons could restrain George.

Battier is old and slow, and Parsons is only average in defensive ability.

"His shooting and attacking with the ball are his weaknesses." Before playing, Tang Tian pulled Butler and told him.

George made his first free throw, and a whistle came from the sidelines.

Butler came on for Battier, and Parsons swung to the four.

George's second penalty was returned, and the Pacers led 26 to 25, with the last 2 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.

The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactical movement, Jeremy Lin scored the ball to Green who came out of the pocket, and Green made a three-pointer from the outside.

"boom!"

The shot went wide.

Whiteside struggled to take off, but Hibbert pressed him tightly, unable to jump up, and he pressed Hibbert with his arms between his arms to prevent him from grabbing.

On the other side, Hansbrough also stuck Parsons tightly to prevent him from jumping.

After the ball bounced and fell, the four insiders didn't even have a chance to grab the ball.

At this moment, a red figure dashed in from the outside line, jumped up first, grabbed the bounced basketball, and slammed it directly towards the basket!

"Boom!"

The ball was dunked in, and he hooked his feet and swung around the basket.

The fans at the scene paused, and then burst into cheers of excitement.

Jimmy Butler!
