Various media are very concerned about the Pacers vs. Lakers game at home, and continue to release various news related to this game, so that fans can increase their expectations for the game.
Rachel will be interviewing on the sidelines tonight. After finishing the interview with Xu Tian and Maya Moore, she will return to the hotel to prepare, and then drive to the Bankers Life Arena to familiarize herself with the itinerary in advance.
George accepted the interview with TNT, and it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon when it ended. He hurried back to his home in Indiana, changed into a set of fashion brand clothes that he had prepared in advance, and took a luxury car driven by his friend to the venue.He played for the Pacers for a few years, came back to play for the first time, and spent money to buy a lot of tickets for family and friends, so that they could go to the scene to support.
The Pacers staff found out George's locker in the visiting team's locker room in advance, and put a "Welcome home!" English sticker on it to express their thoughts slightly.
Xu Tian was the first player to arrive in the locker room, and he immediately discovered the sticker prepared by the Pacers, and his worries about George were greatly reduced.Although this is the United States and it is a professional league, more fans appreciate Kobe, Duncan and Nowitzki who are loyal to a team. George has had a transfer, it is hard to say what fans will get treat.
On the posters outside the Bankers Life Arena, photos of George on the field appeared, which made some media speculation before the game come to naught.Before the game started, many people speculated that George would be boycotted by Indiana fans, but this did not come true.
Barkley did not come to the scene to explain, but he still commented on the game with Kenny Smith, O'Neal and Amy Johnson.The four were talking about last Friday's big embarrassment. Lakers center McGee did not make the list for the first time.
O'Neill said: "I appreciate McGee! My show exists to amuse the fans, but if this show disturbs the players selected, I must respect their ideas and exclude them from the list of candidates."
Barkley said: "McGee joined the Lakers and you said that. If he joined the Celtics, you probably would let him enter the top five every week."
"I played for Boston," O'Neal knew that Barkley was joking, and replied with a smile, "I also love the city of Boston, and there will be no prejudice because players play for the Celtics."
During the jokes among the four in the studio, time flies by and the game is about to start.
The Pacers performed very generously and played a video of paying tribute to George before the game, which moved him very much.He underestimated the city and the love the fans had for him.
Mike Breen and Reggie Miller came to the scene to comment on the nationally televised game.
Reggie Miller is the biggest star in the history of the Pacers. Originally, George could hit this honor, but with the transaction, everything came to an abrupt end.
The Pacers have a long team history. They joined the ABA in 1967 and won the championship three times. After the NBA and ABA merged in 1976, the Pacers became one of the four original ABA teams that joined the NBA.
After the Pacers joined the NBA, their strength declined sharply. They lost their glory in the ABA and never won a championship in team history.The most glorious period was undoubtedly the coaching stage of Big Bird Larry Bird.
Larry Bird was a legendary star of the Celtics in the 80s. Various deeds in his career have been widely spread. What's more, he won the best coach and best manager awards after retiring, basically achieving a grand slam.One of the best coaches is to get it from the Pacers.
In the 1997-98 season, the Pacers, who did not make the playoffs last season, hired Larry Bird as the coach of the team. They achieved a record of 58 wins and 24 losses in the regular season and returned to the playoffs.Bird was elected as the best coach of the season.
In the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers and the Bulls fought seven games, almost eliminating the Bulls led by Jordan, but in the end they lost in the tiebreaker and regrettably stopped.
In the 1999-2000 season, the Pacers got the best record since entering the NBA, won the Eastern Conference championship, and reached the finals.But the opponent in the finals was the Lakers, and they failed to win.
Larry Bird coached the Pacers for three seasons, leading the team to three consecutive Eastern Conference finals, one of which won the Eastern Conference championship.Although the coaching career is short, it is also commendable.
Reggie Miller was the star of the Pacers at the time. His "Miller moment" was always talked about by fans, and he was often compared with the "McGrady moment" as legendary.
Of course, the Pacers are well-known by domestic fans. In addition to the "Miller moment", there is also the famous Auburn Hills Palace fight.
Reggie Miller has retired for many years. He looked down on various rumors in the league, kept professional, and commented without prejudice: "The Lakers are currently ranked second in the West, and their overall strength is much stronger than the Pacers. With the best bench players in the league, if you can make good use of this, it is not completely impossible to win the Lakers."
Mike Breen said: "I think Julius Randle and Louis Williams are the key. They happen to be the type that the Lakers are not good at defensively. If they can play well, they have a chance to gain the upper hand."
"Everything needs to be answered by the game."
"That's right! Welcome to the 2015-16 regular season, the Pacers vs. Lakers game at home. This game is Paul George's homecoming trip, and it is also the first time for Julius Randle and Lou Williams Let us wait and see what kind of performance they can play against their old masters for the second time!"
Pacers starters: George Hill, Monta Ellis, Chase Budinger, Randall, Myles Turner.
Lakers starters: Xu Tian, Kobe Bryant, George, Josh Smith, Tyson Chandler.
McGee returned to the bench, partnered with Xu Tian on the inside and outside, and led the team to play in the transition period.After all, the Pacers have Louis Williams on the bench, and they need core players to match him.
Louis Williams has similar functions to Nick Young, but is much stronger and more threatening than Nick Young.He has contributed a lot to the Pacers' current record.
Myles Turner was the 11th pick in the first round last year. He is 211 cm tall and weighs 110 kg. He has limited offensive capabilities and a strong presence on the defensive end. He is partnered with Julius Randle, who is good at offense, and complements each other perfectly. .
Tyson Chandler lost at age, didn't jump to the ball, and missed the chance to go first.
George Hill is 191 cm tall and weighs 87 kg. He was once Popovich's favorite disciple. He was traded to the Pacers in exchange for Kawhi Leonard, who is extremely promising.He has a good professional attitude and is also conscientious in his playing, but in the end he is limited by his talent, so he can only be regarded as a qualified starter, which is far behind Xu Tian who is defending him.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel didn't expect George Hill to restrain Xu Tian, and put Bao on Randall from the very beginning.
