Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If the Indiana Pacers' main lineup and substitute lineup were separated for an intra-squad match, the game would be as exciting and intense as any playoff game.  Because the Indiana Pacers' main lineup and substitute lineup are equally strong, not even comparable at all.

    It is precisely because of this that the Indiana Pacers can have a considerable advantage when facing the bench lineups of most teams in the league.  After all, among the many NBA teams, there are only a handful of teams with substitute lineups comparable to the Indiana Pacers. Only NBA veteran teams such as the San Antonio Spurs are qualified to say they can defeat the Indiana Pacers.  That group of "bench gangsters".  []

    However, the Indiana Pacers' opponent now is not the San Antonio Spurs, but the Oklahoma City Thunder, the young guard who eliminated the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

    Although the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, it is difficult to say that the Oklahoma City Thunder's bench can beat the San Antonio Spurs.

    Among the Oklahoma City Thunder¡¯s bench, it can be said that the only player who can stand out is the ¡°Best Sixth Man¡± James Harden.  Although other players such as Nick Collison and Derek Fisher each have their own characteristics and can help the team in different aspects, they cannot be regarded as truly outstanding players.  Derek Fisher?  Now Derek Fisher has nothing to contribute to the team except side effects. His experience in the finals is of no use at this time.

    Therefore, when the second quarter began and both teams began to use substitute players, the Oklahoma City Thunder's disadvantage immediately became apparent.

    At the beginning of the second quarter, the Oklahoma City Thunder at home still held a three-point lead. However, just over a minute later, the three-point lead turned to Indiana playing on the road.  Pacers.  Two players, Rudy Fernandez and O.J. Mayo, each hit a long outside three-pointer to help the Indiana Pacers take the lead in one fell swoop.

    "Compared with Rudy and Irvington, the strength of Daquan Cook and Derek Fisher who are responsible for marking them is slightly inferior." Xu Nuo, sitting on the bench beside the court, said.

    "Derek Fisher's defense is indeed poor, but we still can't underestimate his offensive ability!" Danny Granger, sitting next to Xu Nuo, said, "Although Derek Fisher  It looks inconspicuous, but you don¡¯t know when that guy will suddenly explode!¡±

    Xu Nuo nodded silently and looked at Derek Fisher on the court.  In this series, Derek Fisher is also Promise's opponent on the court. No matter what, Promise does not dare to underestimate his opponent.  Back then, Derek Fisher was able to kill the San Antonio Spurs in 0.4 seconds. Such ability and courage cannot be denied.

    However, Derek Fisher, who was on the court at this time, seemed to be just a shooter waiting for the ball. Even the work of dribbling the ball to the frontcourt was completed by shooting guard James Harden.  Indiana Pacers backup shooting guard Paul George hunches down and gingerly faces James Harden.

    "The advantage of Coach Larry Brown putting Paul and Rudy on the court at the same time is that they can swap positions at any time. After all, their playing styles are completely different, which will make opponents even more difficult to guard against," Xu Nuo said to himself.  Said to himself.

    ¡°But they can hardly be said to be James Harden¡¯s opponents!¡± Danny Granger continued.

    At the same time, James Harden suddenly started on the court and dribbled under his crotch in a different direction to pass Paul George's defense. Fortunately, Paul George's physical fitness and explosive power are very strong, and he can also do it in a flash.  Keep up with James Harden.  However, James Harden suddenly stopped and shot a fadeaway jumper!  The ball rotated rapidly in the air and hit the net with a "swipe" sound!

    At 28:29, there was only one point difference between the two teams on the court.

    "I said that the Oklahoma City Thunder boys can definitely take the initiative in this game, and they can definitely do it!" Jay, who serves as an on-site commentator for the game at Chesapeake Energy Arena  Jeff Van Gundy said this.  When Xu Nuo heard Jeff Van Gundy say this, he couldn't help but look at Jeff Van Gundy with dissatisfaction.

    "It's really complete nonsense!" Xu Nuo said, "I really can't figure out how on earth that guy Jeff Van Gundy got to sit in the commentator's seat."

    Although the Indiana Pacers missed a shot on the next offense, the Indiana PacersFernandez quickly stole the ball from Derek Fisher, then dribbled to outside the three-point line and shot.  The ball hit the net with a "swipe" sound, and all the players on the Indiana Pacers bench jumped to their feet.

    "It's really wonderful!" George Hill sighed.

    The Oklahoma City Thunder, who was "predicted" by Jeff Van Gundy that they would definitely take the initiative in the game, are already four points behind the Indiana Pacers. The development of the game seems to be running counter to Jeff Van Gundy's "prophecy".  While Xu was excited that the team had expanded its lead, he was waiting for what Jeff Van Gundy would say this time.

    ¡°The chasing three-pointer after the steal this time reflects Rudy Fernandez¡¯s outstanding personal ability!¡± Jeff Van Gundy said, ¡°However, one or two unexpected mistakes will not stop the Oklahoma City Thunder.  The team is moving forward! After all, the Oklahoma City Thunder have not fielded their strongest lineup at this time, and with their strength, they can compete with any team in the league!"

    Hearing Jeff Van Gundy say this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but snort from his nostrils.

    When the Oklahoma City Thunder attacks, James Harden still dribbles the ball to the frontcourt, and James Harden organizes the team's offense.  After a series of passes, power forward Serge Ibaka handed the ball to Derek Fisher. Derek Fisher immediately shot after receiving the ball, but the ball missed the basket.  Indiana Pacers backup power forward Tyler Hansbrough beat the leaping Serge Ibaka for a defensive rebound.

    ¡°This is another great opportunity for us to expand our lead!¡± Danny Granger said loudly next to Xu Nuo.

    O.J. Mayo took the ball from Tyler Hansbrough and immediately launched a quick counterattack, with Paul George following closely behind.  Just when Derek Fisher was trying his best to catch up and prepare to block O.J. Mayo's attack, O.J. Mayo suddenly threw the ball in his hand high, and Paul George immediately jumped up and got the ball in the air.  Then he slammed the ball into the basket!  At 34:28, the Indiana Pacers on the road are already six points ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder at home!  There was jubilation on the Indiana Pacers bench, but the fans in the stands around the court became quite quiet.

    Coach Scott Brooks, the young head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, was a little frustrated and was ready to request a timeout to solve the problems that the team had.  However, James Harden, who was dribbling the ball forward and rushing forward, did not seem to see the pause gesture made by coach Scott Brooks on the sidelines and continued to attack with the ball.  However, this time the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense hit, which made coach Scott Brooks temporarily give up the idea of ??requesting a timeout.

    "The guys from the Oklahoma City Thunder can definitely solve the problem on their own!" Jeff Van Gundy said while sitting in the courtside commentary box.

    However, in the next attack, center JJ Hickson received a pass from O.J. Mayo and hit a mid-range shot against Nick Collison's defense. The Indiana Pacers once again led Oklahoma City.  Thunder six points.  This time coach Scott Brooks had to call for a timeout to prevent his team from falling further behind.  Since the start of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers playing away games have played a 13:4 offensive wave, which shows the strength of the Indiana Pacers' bench.

    For the Oklahoma City Thunder at this time, there seems to be only one solution to the problem, and that is to send in all the main players.  No matter how strong the Indiana Pacers' bench players are, they will never be better than Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook!

    "It seems like this is the only way" Coach Scott Brooks thought in his mind.

    On the sidelines of the court, Jeff Van Gundy, whose "prophecy" failed, also believes that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook should return to the court.  "At this time, the Oklahoma City Thunder need a star to support the situation, so as not to fall further and further behind in the game." Jeff Van Gundy said, "If you want to take the initiative in the game,  Winning this game ultimately depends on the outstanding performance of the stars. After all, the playoffs are the stage for superstars, and in this regard, the Oklahoma City Thunder seems to be slightly better."

    Hearing what Jeff Van Gundy said, Xu Nuo couldn't help but turn his head and look at Danny Granger standing behind him.

    ¡°That Jeff Van Gundy guy seems to be belittling us!¡± Xu Nuo said to Danny Granger.

    "I heard it!" Danny Granger said, with a cold look in his eyes, "In the next game, I will definitely make them look good!"
