The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Indiana Pacers in the 90s belonged to Reggie Miller. This lanky guy has inherited all the traits of the Pacers, tough, tenacious, and desperate to survive, he is undoubtedly one of the greatest stars in the history of the Pacers. This lanky guard from Los Angeles captured the hearts of all Indianapolis fans.

It may be a coincidence, or it may be destined. When Henson brought another lanky boy from Los Angeles to Indianapolis, people always inevitably compared him to Reggie Miller.

Although nowadays, the Pacers are not a player era. But as long as the current walker is mentioned, the name of Paul George will definitely be able to occupy a place!

It's just that this season, George's outlook has suddenly changed. After four games in the regular season, George actually only scored 20 points in one game. There is no doubt that such data does not meet people's positioning and expectations of him.

But today, Paul George used his own ability to break all doubts. He proved that he is still the most terrifying scorer of the Pacers and is still an indispensable part of this championship team.

Still, an undoubted superstar!

On the court, George is still in control of the overall situation. Popovich has no idea about George's super personal scoring ability today. He can block Antetokounmpo's passing route, can block Antetokounmpo's assault in the penalty area, but can't contain George.

Because compared to Antetokounmpo, George has more offensive methods. Antetokounmpo's offense is that even if you know what he is going to do, you can't stop it.

And George's offensive range can be extended from beyond the three-point line to the basket. Whether he wants to jump, cast or pass, there is no rule to follow.

This time, DeRozan tensed his nerves as he watched George control the ball. He didn't expect that in the most difficult game he played after he came to the West, his opponent would actually be an Eastern team!

George was just outside the three-point line, and the Spurs' double-teaming arrived. Forbes and DeRozan double-teamed Pacers No. 13, Popovich deliberately released Oladipo. Although Oladipo's three-point shooting percentage has greatly improved this season, he is not a shooting guard after all.

Sometimes basketball courts are like this, and the bet is a probability.

Double-teaming is completely commonplace for George. If the Spurs didn't double-team him today, it would make him feel disrespectful.

George calmly handed the ball to Rondo, who came out to catch it, and then went down to the inside when the pass was completed. At the same time, Lopez and Antetokounmpo filled the space for George.

After Oladipo received the basketball, he threw the ball into the air casually. Just before people reacted, George suddenly pulled up from the center and received the basketball in the air.

In the process of gliding, George's body was fully stretched out, and countless photographers left pictures of him gliding in the air. Henson believed it would be a beautiful scenery.

The body falls, the arm is hard, and the buckle is crazy! Paul George used a very difficult ultra-long-distance soaring air to pick up, ending this attack.

Breaking with the ball, catching and shooting, pulling rod layup...In previous games, George showed mostly his technical stuff. And this time, George used an empty dunk to show off his athletic ability.

In the stands, the fans were crazy and the commentators were crazy. Because after this dunk is completed, George has already scored his 40th point in the game!

Reggie Miller still remembers that in the first quarter, he predicted that George should be able to score 30 points. But now, George has achieved his goal beyond expectations.

"40 points, personal 40th! George continues to set his personal scoring record this season! I don't know when this number will stop increasing. But I'm sure George is very dissatisfied with those who question him! You guys! Don’t you dislike him for scoring less? Today, George will show you a full range of personal scoring ability!"

Reggie Miller cheered and applauded George. This is not the first time George has scored 40 points in the Bankers Life Arena, but this is the most enjoyable time Miller has ever seen.

Because today, George showed a most mature self. He is stronger than ever before!

About two or three years ago, Henson believed that George, who had already reached the superstar level, still had room for improvement. Now, George's performance has proved Henson's conjecture.

"Pause, pause!" Popovich had to stop the game amidst the cheers of the Pacers fans. How about not interrupting the game, the Pacers can swallow the Spurs whole with just that momentum.

At this point, the game has reached the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, and there are less than five minutes left before the end of the game. And George's 40th point widened the difference between the two sides to 17 points!

This difference is very embarrassing, the Spurs want to chase it, but it is not easy. Want to give up, but unwilling.

Popovich had no choice but to continue to increase his defense against George. But in this way, his most feared "Greek monster" before the game was completely liberated.

But Popovich has no choice, he must make a choice. Even this choice would still kill Popovich.

The old man shook his head and scolded Henson as a **** a hundred times in his heart.

The drama of two bottles of poison is Henson's favorite. Today, Henson placed two bottles of poison in front of Popovich. George or Antetokounmpo, let Popovich choose.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, Antetokounmpo was resurrected. His continuous impact and breakthrough points made the game lose suspense.

In the process, George also received a pass from Antetokounmpo and hit a three-pointer. In the end, this No. 13 walked off the court with 43 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. When he was off the court, more than 28,000 fans in the All Bankers Life Arena were chanting his name. .

Legendary players, but that's all.

"19 of 26 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers! Paul George scored 43 points efficiently and completely killed the Spurs. Obviously, today Coach Henson greatly increased George's shots, and tactically, George also received great support. In the end, George did not live up to this support. I don't know what coach Henson did with the recent rumors, but there is no doubt that he succeeded again."

After George left the field, he hugged Henson deeply.

"This is just the beginning, boss. At the end of this season, I will win the championship for you."

George knew that only victory was the best way to bid farewell to Henson.

In the end, the score of the whole game was fixed at 116 to 96. Unfortunately, the Spurs failed to escape the fate of being slaughtered 20 points.

DeMar Dro agrees for the saddest player today. Not only did he allow George to score 43 points, he also made only 5 of 18 shots and scored 15 points with a 27.8% shooting rate.

I believe that after this game, the media who had originally questioned George would again point their guns at DeRozan.

"You bastard, that's how you welcome old friends?" Popovich pretended to be angry when he shook hands with Henson after the game, but he had already accepted a fact in his heart.

Henson is almost the most powerful head coach in the league!

"Hahahaha, blame it, blame the reporters who questioned George. An annoyed George, even I can't control it." Henson hurriedly threw the pot to the reporters, and proposed to have Popovich a drink in the evening As compensation.

Men's friendship is like this sometimes, and maybe they were still fighting each other a second. After a second, he was able to sit together and talk and laugh in peace.

"A great victory, George has proved himself. And Henson also continues to lead the league with a record of victory. After the Warriors capsized, the Pacers did not follow in the footsteps of the Warriors. This is this season, the Pacers won the Warriors. The first round. I believe there will be many duels like this in the time after this season."

Reggie Miller used the last paragraph to summarize the game. George won the respect and Henson won the ranking.

The next day, eSPN published an article. Henson didn't read the content, but Henson liked the title very much.

"43 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, questioning Paul George? You know a ball!"
