Chapter 89 I really just want to assist!
The Pacers' starting point guard Malcolm Brogdon, are you not familiar with this name? He was the 36th pick in the second round in 2016. Then in the 2016-2017 season, he won the Rookie of the Year and was selected to the All-Rookie First Team!
!!!
What is this concept?
The second-round pick won Rookie of the Year. Is there anyone left in that draft? Ben Simmons, the No. 1 pick in 2016, Ingram, the No. 2 pick, and Jaylen Brown, the No. 3 pick.
No matter how strong or weak that rookie class is, being able to become the best rookie in the second round is definitely not a simple figure.
The Pacers' starting shooting guard Victor Oladipo entered the NBA as the second overall pick in the 2013 draft. He has played for the Magic and Thunder and was selected to the All-Rookie First Team in his rookie season.
The Rookie of the Year award is very reasonable.
Victor Oladipo is very strong, has strong explosive power, has a long wingspan, and has excellent talents in defending the ball and passing routes. He is a tough, fearless player who is gradually improving.
Become an outside shooter.
The Pacers' starting small forward TJ Warren is also a player whose name is rarely heard, but it is such an unknown player who went from 10 points to 20 points to 30 points in a single game in August 2020.
, Warren even scored 50+ points.
Pacers power forward Domantas Sabonis, born on May 3, 1996 in Portland, Oregon, USA, is a Lithuanian professional basketball player who serves as a power forward and plays for the NBA Indiana Pacers.
Domantas Sabonis's basketball career began in Europe. He was selected to the West Coast Conference All-NBA first team in the 2015-16 season. He entered the NBA through the draft in 2016 and played for the Thunder and Pacers. He was selected in the 2019-20 season.
All-Star Eastern Conference reserves.
Pacers center Myles Turner entered the NBA through the draft in 2015. He was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team in the 2015-16 season. He was the block leader in the 2018-2019 season and is a solid interior defender.
It has both shooting range and the ability to protect the basket. The most common offensive weapon is the jump shot. The shooting point is very high and the touch is very soft. For a big man, the shooting speed is fast enough, and the shooting range reaches beyond the three-point line. However,
It is not stable, and his mid-range shot is better. Turner's explosive power is not outstanding, he is not tough enough in the interior, and he lacks aggressiveness. However, thanks to his outstanding height and wingspan, his blocking is quite good.
Of course, the Pacers' bench lineup is also good. Jerami Lamb has excellent scoring ability, as well as McDermott, Sampson and others.
When the Pacers came to San Antonio, Oladipo had already heard of Radar. He wanted to see how fast the so-called "Thor" was. His explosive power was not inferior to that of Westbrook. And the so-called
Can the "Wings of China" really spread its wings and soar, unstoppable?
There are always surprises in everything. The Spurs coaching staff, who were frightened in the last game, are considering whether to let Radar play.
Of course, Popovich has always had the habit of resting his main players. He wanted Radar to take a break. Rankings don't matter, as long as he can make the playoffs.
Manu Ginobili still supports Radar to play as always. After all, he is short-tongued and Aldridge is injured. If Radar is not allowed to play, the Spurs can play with the Suns, Timberwolves, and Kings with this lineup.
Already.
In the end, four of the five members of the Spurs coaching staff agreed to Radar's playing time. Popovich was helpless, but limited Radar's playing time to 30 minutes.
The Spurs start with Radar, Mills, DeRozan, Gay, and Boltel.
Every time the Spurs AT&T Arena is full now it's because of Radar. They regret that they couldn't be there because they tried their best to win the last game.
Fans of the Holy City fully accepted Radar and regarded Radar as the "Son of the Holy City".
Amid the cheers of more than 10,000 spectators, the on-site DJ shouted the name of Radar with a long tail, and the game between the Spurs and the Pacers officially began.
In the Pacers' offense, Oladipo was very aggressive as soon as he came up. It's no wonder that Mills' defensive ability is weaker. After all, he is a defender who can rival Westbrook.
Oladipo started from outside the three-point line, passed Mills and DeRozan in succession, and fired up with a powerful dunk.
After completing the dunk, Oladipo blinked at the radar, as if he was flirting with each other, but this was the first time the two met.
That can only be understood as another provocation.
The Spurs attack, radar receives the ball, and Oladipo backs up the frontcourt.
Oladipo is very serious. The reputation of Radar has been too great recently, and he can finally see his strength, but, but...
Radar did not intend to use up his energy to make a breakthrough. Although he was facing the basket with his back to the basket, Radar just turned his head slightly. When he saw Mills, who was actively running, running towards the basket, there was no defensive player behind him.
Radar flicked the ball behind his head with just enough force. Mills caught the ball in the air and made a layup.
Oladipo was a little disappointed. He really wanted to see how Radar passed him. He really wanted to see how Radar scored when the Pacers were marking him. Radar was not stupid. He was obviously targeting my defensive formation. I still wanted to do it myself.
If you dig in, you're throwing yourself into a trap, right?
But he also admired Radar. After all, Radar was not a pure shooting guard like him. He appeared more in the position of point guard. The wonderful pass just now was indeed exquisite. With just a slight flick of the eye, he could find his teammates.
Position, assists, such control, such passing vision, really amazing.
Spurs fans are particularly enthusiastic this season, and this wonderful pass has already made them exclaim and scream.
The Pacers pass the ball to the inside. Today's Spurs don't have Aldridge. The Spurs can't compare to the Pacers in terms of offense and defense inside.
Myles Turner caught the ball, turned around and made a mid-range shot, but missed. Sabonis got the rebound and the Pacers reorganized. Brogdon once again passed the ball to the inside. Turner's second shot finally scored.
With the radar allocating the ball, the Spurs' inside men are destined to not have many chances on the offensive end today. In front of Myles Turner, whether it is Boltel or Gay, it will be difficult to score easily.
It was Mills who was still running aggressively for five minutes. He received a pass from the radar outside the three-point line, faked a shot and flew past the defending Brogdon, gaining space to shoot, and hit the target with a three-pointer.
Mills stretched out his finger and pointed at Radar. This was his celebration and praise for Radar. Radar gave him both goals. It was also his own effort to score five points in a row.
Oladipo quit. He kept looking for Radar during the counterattack, hoping to anger Radar and challenge him one-on-one. Oladipo moved quickly with the ball, but Radar always maintained his position and prevented him from taking action. Seeing 24
The second attack time was about to come. Oladipo reluctantly took the shot and missed the three-pointer. Bolt blocked the position in advance and got the defensive rebound.
During the Spurs' fast break, Radar and Mills passed passes to each other and soon reached the frontcourt. Their passes also attracted the defense. The Pacers' center goal was wide open, and there was no one from the top of the arc to the basket.
Gay received a pass from Radar and performed a tomahawk dunk, which shocked the entire audience.
Oladipo: Thor, please do it yourself!
