It is not an exaggeration to say that the Indiana Pacers are the least difficult team to mess with this season.

Until now, the Pacers still maintain an unbeaten golden body. As the defending champion, the Grizzlies are only right to be able to achieve such achievements. But as a dark horse from last season, it is still strong this season, which inevitably makes people feel strong.

In 7 games, 7 victories, George also performed like a superstar.

In the opening game against the Magic, George scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, continuing his superstar form in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

In the second game against the Hornets, George scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, but it was still unstoppable.

Until the last game, George still performed well against the Nets, which had five giants, Deron, Johnson, Pierce, Garnett and Lopez. He scored 24 points on the head of "Truth" Pierce, with a shooting percentage of up to 60%, and easily led the team to win.

Paul George renewed his contract with the Pacers in advance this summer, which shows that the Pacers wanted to build a team with George as the core.

During the time when we signed the contract, George heard some doubts. But now, no one will question the Pacers' decision.

In seven games, George proved that the tall and long No. 24's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals last season was no short-lived.

So far, no one has been able to cause trouble for George. Until now, the Grizzlies and Link are here.

Larry Bird was waiting in the luxury box for the game to begin. Today, the Banker's Life Arena was extremely lively. Early in the morning, countless news cars were already working outside the Arena.

When the fans entered the venue in the afternoon, the air was filled with helicopters performing aerial photography missions.

Link and George, Pacers and Grizzlies. So far this season, the two best performers and the two best performers met, which naturally attracted the appetite of fans.

Both the Grizzlies and the Pacers are now undefeated, one wins six consecutive times and the other wins seven consecutive times. Which of these two teams can maintain their undefeated golden body has become one of the highlights of the game.

So today's game made the Banker's Life Arena extremely lively. The situation is no less than last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

Bird shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling quite proud. When he decided to take Paul George, he was criticized a lot. But now, it turns out that he did not bet wrong.

The only thing Bird regrets now is why he didn't bring George's friend to the draft at the same time.

Think about it, George and Link play together...the picture is simply too beautiful.

"Big Bird" shook his head and no longer had random thoughts. There is no NBA world. If Link and George missed the opportunity to be teammates in NBA, they might have missed it forever.

Now, what Bird needs to see is how much George can do in front of Link, the top opponent.

In the Eastern Conference Finals last season, George almost overturned James and almost broke the Heat's dominance over the Eastern Conference. So how much can George do in the face of the same top-notch Link?

Bird found that he hadn't been so looking forward to a game so much for a long time.

On the court, Link walked at the front of the team and led his teammates to the stage to warm up.

In the past three seasons, Link has liked to be the last one to come out. But now, as the well-deserved leader of the Grizzlies, Link is usually the first to break out of the player channel.

As soon as Link stepped into the stadium, his deafening shouts poured into the cochlea. But what was most shocking was not the violent cheers, but the endless corn yellow after Link stepped into the stadium.

The stands in the entire arena seemed to have become corn fields.

"Damn, do you think this is playing the playoffs? Such a big formation!" Link stood in the center of the stadium, looking around at everything around him.

It is worthy of being the worst team in the league. Just because of a regular season game, fans can dress uniformly.

I can't afford to offend, I can't afford to offend.

"Welcome to my paradise, Link!"

Just as Link looked around the stands, George smiled and spread his hands to Link.

This scene suddenly reminded Link of the charming smile when Leonardo first appeared in his mansion in the movie "The Great Gatsby".

At this time, George seemed to be the owner waiting for Link to come in a "luxury mansion".

"You're unstoppable this season, man." Link said, and hugging George.

"You are not easy to mess with, Link, you are all selected as the top ten, hahahaha!"

"Hey, don't mention that. I don't know what I did. I'm going to be put on that list. Hey, you don't want to win eight consecutive games today, right? You'll stop George when you see it. The seven consecutive games are almost done." Link changed his tone, and the two good friends instantly started to compete.

"Don't worry, Link, I will give you a decent game. Unfortunately, I missed the finals last season. But it doesn't matter, I'll make it up for you now!"

Link nodded, flirted with George, and then returned to his own half.

Today, Link is no longer a careless look, he seems very serious. Paul George and Draymond Green, and even Davis a little earlier, are not at the same level.

Paul George almost overwhelmed James last season, and after training with Link this summer, George evolved again.

Therefore, George is no longer the George who could only silently bless Link.

George is now joining this game of honor competition! It is no exaggeration to say that George is the first strong enemy that Link encountered this year!

After the warm-up, the game started quickly. The Pacers and Grizzlies' starting structures are surprisingly similar, and they are both very traditional.

The Grizzlies have Gasol, and the Pacers have Hibert, the defensive high point.

The Grizzlies have Randolph, and the Pacers have David West, the fourth position with a strong offense than defense.

The Grizzlies have Iguodala, and Stephenson can do anything with the Pacers.

The Grizzlies have Conley, and the Pacers have George Hill, who is from the Spurs.

Of course, the most similar thing is that they both have No. 3 players as the core. George and Link both graduated from the same university.

This game is like both sides fighting their own shadow.

When encountering opponents with very similar styles and configurations, the game will usually be quite anxious.

After the game officially started, "Black Yao Ming" Roy Hibert won the first basketball for the Pacers.

In today's era when large centers are becoming increasingly scarce, Gasol rarely encounters inside players who are higher than himself.

So when I saw Roy Hibert and Gasol were somewhat uncomfortable.

Hibert played very well last season in the playoffs, averaging 17 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 blocks per game, as if the era of big centers has risen again. It is precisely because of him that the Heat have fallen into a tough battle.

But so far this year's regular season, Hibert's data has become mediocre again. It seems that Hibert can only exert his power when facing a team like the Heat with weak inside.

Therefore, the Pacers' first attack at the beginning, George Hill did not look for Hibert, but Paul George!

George just received the basketball from the right side of the three-point line, and Link went over.

In this game, Jogel asked Link to defend George himself because George was too dangerous. In terms of defense, Link is no longer as good as Iguodalacha. So when he met a super scorer, Link was Jogel's first choice defender.

In the stands, the "corn field" immediately started to churn. Fans did not expect that the matchup between Link and George was staged directly in the first round.

George now completely lost the charming smile he had just now. He was carefully observing Link's defensive focus!

Link curled his lips, it's so difficult! This summer we have been together for so long, and everyone knows each other too much, so George will not advance rashly.

After George took the ball and made two tentative steps, he saw that Link was unmoved, so he reached out to call the pick-and-roll. Seeing this, David West immediately moved to Link.

However, the next second, George broke through to the side without cover, fake cover!

Link tried hard to keep up, but George's speed was not enough. As a tall third position with a height of 2.06 meters, George's speed was very fast.

Link did not retreat with all his might. He was guarding against George's emergency stop jump shot. Little did George choose to score in an easy way, but suddenly a change accelerated, rubbing Link to the basket!

Facing Gasol's backup defense, George was calm and calm. He slipped over the baseline, walked to the other side of the basket, suddenly took off, and made a big dunk!

"Dunk directly!? Paul George traveled through two defensive players Link and Gasol at the same time, which was incredible! Today, the Pacers were planning to fight the Grizzlies to the end!"

With the loud noise from the basket, the entire banker's living arena seemed to be almost overturned.

Link shook his head, and just hesitated, George rushed in and dunked. That guy was really not a joke now.

After the dunk landed, George made a finger at Link, indicating that he is now leading 1-0.
Chapter completed!
