Zheng Long's behavior of provoking George was cleverly captured on the big screen.

Although the fans didn't know what Zheng Long said, they could tell from George's darkened expression that it must have been extremely provocative trash talk.

How dare a "rookie" dare to provoke the All-Stars like this? Still at the Pacers' home court!

"Who is this kid! How dare you provoke George?"

"After two good games, I really think of myself as a character!"

"Come on George! Blow him up!"

Fans are outraged!

On the court, the Pacers served quickly, and Monta Ellis quickly came to the frontcourt with the ball.

The man who once benched Curry.

At this time, he has entered the end of his career.

He is also an inspirational figure.

In high school, Ellis was elected High School Student of the Year together with Auden.

He chose to skip college and participate in the draft. As a result, he was not selected by the Warriors until the 40th pick in the second round.

The Warriors at that time had no shortage of guards.

When people thought he would go from the water cooler to leaving the NBA like so many second-round picks.

Unexpectedly, Monta Ellis seized the opportunity and gained the team's trust in his limited playing time.

Showing his talent, he gradually became a starter and won the Most Improved Player award in the 2006-07 season.

His personal data gradually increased, and he became the core player of the Warriors and the team's scoring leader.

Later, the Warriors chose to correct Curry and traded Ellis. After that, Ellis moved around, playing with the Bucks, Mavericks, and Pacers.

The high school student who once shined in the NBA draft is now.

He has become an ordinary starting point guard who can no longer be ordinary.

Moreover, the Pacers' style of play does not focus on defenders organizing and scoring.

All styles of play revolve around Paul George.

Therefore, after quickly dribbling the ball through half court, Ellis obediently passed the ball to Paul George on the wing.

The contest between the two sides officially begins.

What started as a speed showdown gradually evolved into a showdown between Zheng Long and Paul George.

When Paul George drives into the paint and makes a layup, you'll be amazed.

At the same time, sigh for it.

If this was George back then, he would have dunked directly.

George suffered an open fracture of his tibia and fibula in 2014, and his right calf once reached a 90-degree bend.

Now you can't find any signs of injuries on his body.

He still seems to be the omnipotent George on the court.

On the other side, Zheng Long also continued to perform his performance, and the defensive Jeff Teague was Zheng Long's plaything.

Paul George did not take the initiative to switch defenses with Teague.

The Clippers couldn't guard Zheng Long even with three double-teams. How could Teague guard him by himself?

Paul George scored 2 points on a layup.

Zheng Long directly held the ball and rushed to the frontcourt to shoot a pull-up jumper, which was clean and neat.

Paul George's super long three-pointer scored 3 points.

After Zheng Long passed Teague in one step, he entered the penalty area, faced Pacers center Turner and scored 2 points, plus an extra penalty!

When the halftime whistle sounded.

Lakers 53:53 Pacers.

The two teams ended in a tie, with Zheng Long scoring 23 points at halftime and Paul George also scoring 23 points.

After returning to the locker room, Walton first praised the players for their wonderful performance. "Our team finally doesn't have Zheng Long to score alone!"

Then he emphasized the issue that he had mentioned repeatedly before the game.

Choke Paul George!

Obviously, the Lakers players didn't do it.

Ingram lowered his head in shame.

Wharton has already given the corresponding data.

In the first half of the game, Paul George took 7 shots against Ingram and made all of them.

Ingram was helpless.

I have indeed worked very hard to defend myself.

But Paul George's touch is so hot that he can put the ball into the basket just by standing in front of him.

How to prevent it?

Walton noticed Ingram's mood, and after explaining the tactics, he sat next to Ingram to comfort him.

"It's okay Brandon, although George scored 16 points on your head, you also scored 8 points in the first half!"

Zheng Long sat in the corner of the locker room, speechless.

Ingram has followed him, and his defensive ability has indeed improved a lot.

But for a small forward with explosive physical fitness like Paul George.

When the touch comes, no one can prevent it!

On the other side, in the Pacers locker room, Paul George was taking a breather.

In the first half, although he scored 23 points like Zheng Long.

But he played a full 24 minutes, while Zheng Long only played 20 minutes.

Before, maybe George had only heard of Zheng Long's name in highlights and news spread online.

But at this time, George had already realized the terror of Zheng Long.

Definitely a scorer as good as his own!

"In the second half, I will guard Zheng Long!"

Before walking out of the locker room, George conveyed his thoughts to the head coach.

As the defensive champion of the team, George took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

The Pacers' attack, I, George, will resist.

Hey, I'm coming too!

In the season before his serious injury, George was an All-Star and even on the All-Defensive Team.

He is the best defensive player at the small forward position in the league!

Although my pace is not as fast as before.

But George is confident that he will be able to guard against Zheng Long!

The second half of the game begins.

When Zheng Long was holding the ball, he saw George who took the initiative to switch defenses with his teammates and came to him.

Laughed.

Yes, Zheng Long showed a contemptuous smile.

I was a little annoyed about how to limit George's performance, but this guy came out to defend me alone.

Isn't this sent out to let you use up your energy?

Seeing Zheng Long's smile, George said nothing and assumed a defensive posture.

The two finally ushered in their second confrontation in this competition.

flank.

Zheng Long faces George.

The Pacers fans finally woke up and cheered!

The picture you were looking forward to was finally seen!

The No. 23 bald man had everything he wanted on the court in the first half.
