Since the Pacers traded O'Neal Jr., the team's strength has declined significantly - Chamberlain has always not understood, is the Pacers so eager to send away this former team boss?

Look at the conditions of their trade and you will be clear: the 17th draft pick in the first round of this year, an expiration contract and a point guard who suffered from neck injuries. For these few conditions, the Pacers actually sent away the leader who had been loyal to the team for two seasons without hesitation.

In 193, O'Neal Jr. participated in the draft as a high school student and then came to the Pacers. He stayed here diligently for two years. For the glory of the team, he became injured and was finally abandoned by the team indifferently.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Harrington chose to accept the transaction himself. He has already seen it out. No loyalty or honor can compare to the green dollar in the end.

In fact, we can't scold the Pacers for being ruthless. Not to mention that the essence of the league is a business field, but O'Neal himself is really a bit unbearable: he missed a full 40 games last season due to a knee injury, and in the past four seasons, he has to miss 3 games per season on average, and in any team, he may not be able to stand it.

O'Neal's big contract restricted the Pacers, and as long as he didn't leave, the team could not be rebuilt. However, when O'Neal left, the Pacers' spirit also collapsed, at least in a short period of time. Just as Chamberlain thought, O'Neal Jr. devoted his youth and best years to this team. In the end, he was sent away by the team without mercy. Can others not lose their lips and teeth? After all, everyone has a day of old age and may be injured at any time.

The atmosphere of the Pacers is not very good. They have not yet emerged from the predicament of the captain's departure. Trading the captain is a big deal for any team. Danny Granger is also a good person, but he is not good at speaking and is not as passionate as O'Neal Jr., so after becoming the boss, he did not show his leadership and the team made a very slow progress.

The game did not start, and the players from both sides met and chatted for a few words. Iverson went to find the Pacers coach, and the two chatted and laughed together.

The Pacers coach is Jim O'Brien, who is also an old coach with more than 30 years of coaching experience, but most of his experience is concentrated in college competitions. He entered the NH late and worked as an assistant coach at the Celtics at the end of the last century.

His first head coaching job was in the Philadelphia 76ers. It was 204. He took Iverson for a while, but like other head coaches and Iverson, it was not very good at that time. However, now, Iverson has become more mature, and it is more pleasant to mention the past.

It was seven o'clock in the evening and the game time was up and the starting lineups of both sides came on the court.

The Warriors' lineup is Chamberlain Hi Harrington Jackson Iverson Curry.

The Pacers' starting lineup is the center, the big guy Lasso Nestrovic, who is 2.13 meters tall, the power forward is the team's veteran Murphy, who is also a player in the O'Neal era. He has a very tough style and good rebounding ability. The small forward is naturally the current team leader Granger, the organizational guard is T Ford, and the shooting guard is Mike.

Because of Harrington's incident, Chamberlain was a little uneasy. He was a little distracted when he jumped the ball. Nestrovic took the lead in touching the ball and picked it for Ford.

Ford has had a nickname since middle school, called Horse. Mustang is a sports car produced by Ford in the 1960s and 1970s. It is very famous. At that time, it happened to the Vietnam War, and young people were full of rebellious spirit. This car was sold very well, and the most admired thing was speed.

With the nickname of horse, you can tell how fast Ford is. In fact, when he entered the league, he was regarded as Iverson's successor in terms of speed. Of course, he can only succeed in terms of speed. However, today Iverson's successor met the real Iverson, which is a bit like a fake encounter with Li Kui. The game is very interesting.

As early as last season, many experts swear that Iverson is too slow to grow old. Although Iverson's arrogance has been restrained a lot because of his age, he is still the arrogant answer. He has been holding back his breath and wants to use reality to fight back against those experts. This game finally gave him a chance.

Ford also wanted to defeat Iverson head-on to prove his strength. The two met this time, it was really a point-to-head match.

With the ball, Ford swung his calf and rushed forward as if he was stepping on the Hot Wheels. Curry wanted to stare at him, but Iverson waved his hand and chased him in person.

Facing Iverson's defense, Ford was extremely excited. After reaching outside the three-point line, he stabilized his body and made several dribbling balls under his crotch. Iverson narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Ford's eyes with a sharp look: The ball will deceive people, and the movements will deceive people, but the eyes are the windows of the soul, and this will not deceive people in the end.

Ford suddenly shook his shoulder and made two fake moves in succession. Then, regardless of whether the other party was fooled or not, he rubbed his right sole hard on the floor. His figure was like a ghost, and he quickly slapped the ball and killed directly from Iverson's left side.

Just when Ford started, Iverson did not move horizontally to the left, but took half a step to the right as if he was fooled. Seeing this, Ford was secretly happy and immediately accelerated to the extreme and ran wildly. Iverson moved to the right, then turned around, Ford happened to break through him, and then he reached out his hand like lightning.

Ford, who was proud of the spring breeze, only felt a light in his hand and then his heart suddenly became heavy: How could he not know what happened to him? The ball was stabbed by someone.

Jackson grabbed the ball first, then he waved his hand and threw it into the frontcourt. After Iverson stole the ball, he saw Jackson closest to the ball, and then turned around and ran down regardless of what happened next. At this time, the Pacers were busy attacking while running. How could he expect the sudden change of offense and defense?

Iverson jumped up and made a layup, Ford chased after him happily, but he didn't even catch up with his fart.

Granger was very helpless when he was intercepted at the beginning. If Kobe had already started to scold him, but he would have been much more restrained and calm. He just came up to pick up the ball when Ford was about to break through and fight Iverson alone.

Ford had no choice but to pass the ball, and Iverson looked at him and smiled: "You have a good boss, right? Look at how much you bosses can solve your problems."

Ford curled his lips, and of course he heard that Iverson was talking slander. Granger did this in fact. The Warriors have a tradition that whoever loses face will get it back. If Iverson was intercepted by Ford just now, he must have hit the ball. At most, Chamberlain and others came up to help him cover it, but in the end, the task of completing the fatal blow would be handed over to Iverson.

This way of finding the face you lost can help a player retain confidence to the greatest extent. For NH-level players, confidence is more important than anything else.

Glenge missed the shot, and Jackson's defense just restrained a small forward like him. He was not very good at shooting, had excellent physical fitness but balanced. Chamberlain turned over and took the rebound and threw it to Curry. After the latter dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he glanced at Iverson. Dunleavy thought he wanted to pass the ball, so he turned around and tried to cut off his passing route. Curry did pass the ball, but passed it to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain is the boss, and Curry is very aware of being the boss.

As soon as Chamberlain got the ball, Nestrovic became nervous immediately. Murphy didn't dare to hesitate and hurried up to double-team him.

But Chamberlain didn't plan to come by himself. Didn't Harrington ask for a trade? Another tradition of the Warriors, players could have a full meal before trading, so he passed the ball to Harrington.

Harrington had no defense and missed the mid-range shot. Murphy and Ostrovsky raised their arms and jumped up. The basketball hit the ring and bounced up and fell. As a result, a slender and powerful arm came first, grabbed the ball and passed it to Harrington again after landing. His master shouted: "Come again."

Harrington took a deep breath after receiving the ball. This time he took a step forward and then jumped calmly and trembled his wrist and made a move, hitting.

Iverson and Harrington first hit 4 points for the Warriors. Nestrovic fought against Chamberlain. He used brute force to squeeze into the basket and stuck Chamberlain's position. As a result, he took Chamberlain a big hat when he turned on the layup. Granger quickly followed up and finally scored a tip-in for the team.

Chamberlain had the upper hand against Nestrovic, and the Pacers bullied them back-to-back, so they subconsciously improved the offense and defense rhythm. In fact, this happened to fall into the Warriors' preferences - their lineup is one, one, four, and Iverson and Curry are both sports warfare experts.

In contrast, the Pacers, Nestrovic and Murphy, two seven-foot-foot men, can they compare to outside players if they have good athletic skills?

When they discovered this, it was too late to slow down. Curry and Iverson took over the rhythm of the game. As long as they attacked, no matter who controlled the ball, they would definitely lower their heads and run forward rushing forward.

Curry and Jackson made a three-pointer respectively. The Pacers suffered from small ball tactics. They did not have the point guard who could reasonably allocate the ball rights. Except for the speed of Ford, who is similar to Iverson, are far inferior in other aspects. Iverson's worst organization is better than him. How can he compare?

The Warriors got a 24 start, and then Ford finally made a breakthrough with the help of Granger's cover. He made a layup and then wanted to steal Iverson's pass, but was teased by the answer. Iverson pretended to pass the ball and shook his wrist. Ford subconsciously cut out cross-cutting. As a result, Iverson did not pass the ball but played a street-turning action. When Ford stepped back, he broke through and broke into the penalty area and scored a layup.

Ford chased the referee and said it was a violation. The referees rolled his eyes and no one cared about his opinion. Iverson's ball was a strait ball, and the movement was fast, so it looked like a wrist roll, but in fact there was no violation. Of course, if it was not the famous superstar who performed the movement but the rookie rookie, it would definitely be an violation.

O'Brien called a timeout and then began to switch the lineup. Although Ostrovic was tough, he seemed to be unable to exert his strength in the face of Chamberlain. The Pacers were full of talents in the penalty area, so he sent a big center Hibert, who just selected this year, to fight Chamberlain, and also to train him. In addition, the defender replaced Daniels with a stronger attack power, so he asked him to open the situation.

Daniels is also a nerve knife. With the rise of West, some people call him another mad dog. He is a bit like West. No matter whether it is a style of play, personality or even physical fitness, he is just a little worse in any aspect, except for courage.

At the beginning, Daniels scored a three-pointer from the long shot. At this time, he was one step away from the three-point line, but the ball actually hit. This scene made West, who was also on the bench, feel depressed and scolded: "Shit, this is a mad dog with rabies."

Chamberlain held his chin on the bench to watch the game, and the old man replaced him again. Obviously, he was going to play in the more important second, third and fourth quarters.

Daniels' three-pointer was regarded as a challenge by West. After the offense and defense transition, he ignored the opponent's press and broke through with a tendon. Daniels really had no choice but to do so. He was too cruel to get a foul. The Warriors served again and West broke through. This time Daniels did not dare to make any big moves, and West made a layup.

Chamberlain ended up, and the Warriors arranged Evans and Harrington in the interior. Both of them were not tall enough, so the Pacers focused on the interior.

Hibert wanted to hit Evans with speed, but when the two hit him, he was directly overturned. The referee blew him to go against the rules. Hibert was almost crying, but there was no small move in the fight against Evans just now. Who made him worse than others and still went to play against him?

West broke through Iverson, and it was Ford's defense. Iverson showed the strength of CP6E in front of the successor, crossed Ford and rushed into the penalty area, attracting double teams in the inside, and then passed the ball to Harrington, who made a jump shot.

The Pacers firmly played inside, and they did have an advantage. Murphy and Hibert both had a high advantage. The two took turns to slowly recover the lost points for the Pacers.

The Warriors played on the outside, with Iverson and West taking the lead and then allocating the ball. The Warriors no longer have purely organized guards and use two attack guards to take the lead.
