Chapter 170: The simplified version of the Big Three, the new season starts

On this side, the training ground was full of energy, and on the other side, the Pacers' summer is not over yet. The addition of Sadison and Linsen made the Pacers' strength greatly increase, but these are not enough. It is not enough to rely on such a lineup to deal with the Cavaliers of the Big Three in the new season, let alone the four-star Warriors in the West who are perverted to directly fight the NBA to the finale.

Before Linson arrived, they also needed a player who held the ball from the outside, or a player with stronger offensive ability, to share the work of attacking the outside. George is not a small forward of the James type, and his breakthrough ability is not top-notch, but his ability to get rid of the ball after receiving the ball is definitely one of the top among small forwards, so George's proportion of ball from the outside is not too high.

Originally, after Stephenson left, they won the Mavericks Ellis and wanted to train this scorer who averaged 20 per game to become an outside ball attacker, but the latter performed perfectly last year and completed a big dive. It was really difficult to match the kind of outside attacker mentioned at the beginning.

In July, they discussed more than Linson's contract. They originally planned to ask Hill to trade for the Hawks Jeff Teague, who is obviously a point guard with strong offense and weak defense. Compared to Hill, his ability to hold the ball is obviously better, but he is not a point guard who likes to pass the ball to the center, and his control over the rhythm of the game is not as good as Hill.

But now Lin Sen's arrival has made Hill, a defensive ability, and is more suitable for the Pacers for the rhythm control guard who has been learning in the Spurs. The transaction was immediately stopped. After Ellis' contract has increased significantly this year, 11 million is not a garbage contract. Barnes, a guy who is averaging over 10 points in the finals, is now holding a big contract of 24 million for the Mavericks.

On the other hand, Al Jefferson, who was originally talking, also stopped negotiations. Lin Sen's arrival made this Pacers no longer need such an inside killer who is over 0 years old and has hidden dangers of injury. This also gave Lin Sen a signal, don't worry, the ball rights in the inside are all yours.

What the Pacers need now is to strengthen their outside ball holding points for the team's second lineup. Aaron Brooks, the former fastest-progress player, has entered the Pacers' vision. Rockets fans are still very familiar with this brother. His excellent three-point shooting ability, fast speed and excellent dribbling. Combined with his accurate outside shooting, his breakthrough makes it more difficult to defend.

But he is a problem on the defensive end, and as a point guard on the offensive end, he does not have much control ability. The assist may be good, but control the rhythm? This word may have nothing to do with him in nature.

The Pacers won him without hesitation, large part of the reason why Lin Sen was there. Lin Sen took Irving, JR Smith and Love in the Cavaliers. James on the outside often had to keep his physical strength and only knew how to traffic.
