Chapter 349: Pacers have to train

On the bench, the Pacers players were all dejected, and it would be fine if they lost the game. Being beaten like this made them doubt whether they were on the same level as the team on the other side.

George is the most depressed. He was suppressed in his direct conversation with Durant. This year, everyone thinks that George is the number one small forward after three small forwards. After winning the Cavaliers, he is even considered to be the four small forwards. In this small-time prosperous era, the top four are the top ten players in the league. But in this game, the defense he relies on for fame was blown up.

Lin Sen wanted to comfort George, but after thinking about it, he also wanted people to comfort himself by making 9 of 19 shots tonight.

Winning a away game is already a rare few times for the Pacers. Returning to Indiana 1:1 is considered a victory, but the second game was a big defeat, which indicates the difference between the team's state and the team's own strength.

As soon as he got off the plane, George, a big shot who had always returned to the Gentle Country, ran to the training hall at the first time. George was depressed by Durant. He was suppressed by James, but since 2012, he has been like this. He has been suppressed more and gradually got used to it. However, Durant, George, who had never rushed out of the East before, and Durant, who had never rushed out of the West after 2012, had never met in the playoffs.

In the first game, the two should be counted as no winner. Generally speaking, Durant's performance was slightly better, but in general, the performance of the two is still at the same level, and the gap in the second game was a little big.

Durant made 12 of 22 shots and scored 35 points and 7 rebounds, while George only made 7 of 17 shots and scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. More importantly, he has always been a good three-point line and has made 1 of 6 three-pointers. This data is really failed. His three-point shooting percentage makes the Warriors feel comfortable with double-teaming Lin Sen, which is also an important reason why Lin Sen has only 22 points.

"Hey! Lin, go together, train, train, we need training." George's expression was very serious. After he reached the finals for the first time, he was beaten and could think of the only way to improve himself.

Lin Sen shrugged because he thought so too. OK! Both big guys are ready to train more, and now the other Pacers have no idea. After all, in the last game, except for the players in the third lineup who played well, everyone's performance was a little bit eye-catching, but the game headquarters may be handed over to the players in the third lineup to solve it, so training more is inevitable.

Linson also wants to strengthen the defense, but where can the best defensive player's defense be strengthened? If George cannot limit Durant well, Linson will face the impact of two MVPs, because Curry seems not to be a player that the Pacers' defense can limit the defense of the Pacers.

George is strengthening his defense of Durant's shooting, trying to find a way to better position, not only to allow Durant to break through so easily, nor to make Ben Durant's successive attempts to beat him. This game was Durant's shooting.

The next day was originally a media day, but in order to get George to train, the Pacers directly paid a fine and announced that today's Pacers' core members would be absent from the full interview, just to give George and Linson a safe training environment.

This made the reporters from afar very depressed. All they could interview in the main training hall was the Pacers' second lineup, and from them they could only know that the Pacers' plan to make breakthroughs on the defensive end, all the core lineups were training.

"New style of play?" Espn's reporter Filio's eyes lit up, and his eyes looked directly at the head coach McMillan who was right beside him. Their main lineup was to train freely, because McMillan believed in the defensive strength and defensive understanding of his favorite players. As for him, he was training with the players from the second lineup. The Warriors' second lineup also played very quickly.

"Coach Nate, can you tell us what changes you will have on the defensive end?"

"Change? No, we are the best team in the league to defend. We don't need to change. All we need is to keep them in a better defensive state." McMillan did not panic at all because of the big defeat in the last game. His answer made the media a little unpredictable.

"Then why didn't George, Lin, CJ Myers be with me?"

"They? Their defense was too bad in the last game, and they had to train more, that's all."

McMillan looked at this group of reporters and said, if I have plans, I can still reveal it to you? The game hasn't started yet!

The reporter was unable to get any good in front of old fried dough sticks who had been a player in McMillan and had seen countless worlds. Apart from knowing that they had plans to train, they knew nothing about anything else.

In another training hall, the main core of the Pacers began to discuss how to face the opposite core.

The Warriors' three-point shooting is very distinctive. When their players hold the ball, they will pitch more at the top of the arc and two 45 degrees angles. For example, Durant will basically not appear at the bottom line.

The bottom line belongs to Iguodala and Thompson who run without the ball, and Curry and Thompson are considered to drive the trend. There is also a reason why they are all covered in the entire range, whether they catch the ball or take the ball after the ball is out of the ball, but it can be seen that their bottom line is relatively few.

Lin Sen still has to stand near the free throw line to assist in defense and make up for defense, because they must be able to make up for defense at the first time and return to defense. In this case, Iguodala in the bottom corner naturally needs to be relaxed appropriately. This is the same as in the first game and must be implemented well.

As for another point, it is George's personal defense against Durant. The last game allowed Durant to make more jump shots, which was also because at the Oracle Arena, the opponent was obviously blowing the whistle very tightly. This time when he returned to Indiana, he had to get some physical strength to let Durant understand what defense is.

Durant's physical confrontation ability is well known. When the rookie joint trial training, his bench press ability was almost at the bottom of that class, and many small guards were better than him. Although George was not as strong as James, his confrontation ability was definitely first-class among small forwards.

Position! Confrontation! These will become the main theme of the Pacers' defense against the opponent in the next game. The physical confrontation in the East has been tough. Now that we are in the East, the Pacers naturally have to let the Warriors players understand how the Eastern Conference game is played.bdshare();
