The battle in pre-season is not intense, after all, few teams will give their full strength in pre-season. Therefore, even though the pre-season has been played vigorously, it still cannot satisfy the appetite of football fans.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of October 29, the opening game of the new NBA season, which has been long-awaited.

So, although the Pacers have an excellent record of 8 wins and 1 loss in the preseason, many people are still comforting themselves and saying, "Don't worry, they are good in the preseason, just because they are good in the regular season." ”

The group seems to have forgotten that the Pacers lost only 10 games last season, even in the regular season......

Of course, there are people who run away, and there are people who acknowledge the horror of the Pacers. Many media outlets have claimed that the Pacers have a good chance of becoming the first team in NBA history to win 70 games in two consecutive seasons. They may even be able to break the record of 72 wins.

Regardless, the defending champions were already in the spotlight before the start of the season. Everyone is waiting for October 29 for the first game of the regular season.

Everyone can't wait to see how terrifying the defending champions are at full fire.

A week before the start of the regular season, the Pacers took a make-up photo shoot for the season at the request of the league at the Bankers' Living Arena. Although the Pacers' lineup this season is not much different from last season, it still makes people feel full of anticipation.

While taking pictures of the players, the reporters also talked about it. These old faces of the Pacers may be able to burst out with new strength in the new season.

Al. Horford has maintained his size greatly, and it seems that the Dominican center has not let himself go this offseason. As an All-Star caliber center, Horford's presence on the Pacers team is very average. But everyone knows that his defense, strategy, ability to open up space and high-quality cover are like lubricant. Without lubricant, the Pacers' offense wouldn't have been as smooth.

Horford is the type who looks tepid, but once you ignore him, he can kill the game. Popovich certainly agrees with this.

David. West signed a two-year contract extension with the Pacers, which was expected. In fact, there are several other teams that have offered West a higher price this summer, including the San Antonio Spurs. However, West chose to stay at Indianapolis even with a pay cut, because for him, the championship is the number one thing.

As a player who lacks explosiveness but is more than consistent, West's interior partnership with Horford is key to the Pacers' ability to open up the situation in the three-second zone. And don't forget, he's still the No. 1 "icebreaker" when the Pacers can't open the situation.

Of course, the most eye-catching of all the players has to be the Pacers' 15th pick this year, the Greek rookie Janis Annis. Antetokounmpo is up. After coming to the United States, because of his name, the media gave him a very strange nickname - "Brother Alphabet".

When Antetokounmpo entered the draft, he looked thinner than Durant. The little arms and legs seemed to be broken if they were twisted hard. But after a summer, Antetokounmpo's figure has become much stronger, not to mention, than it was in June.

I heard that this summer, Antetokounmpo has been soaking in the power room, and his diet is quite strict. Of course, people don't know that there is another reason why Antetokounmpo was able to change his body so quickly, and that is the effect of Henson's use of the badge on him.

Looking at this group of players on the Pacers, the reporters all sighed. Among them, the famous black director of New York, Spike. Plum.

"This team is amazing, look through the roster of their team, George, Leonard, Jimmy. Butler, Danny. Green and Stephenson and others were all selected through the draft, and among them, George, who had the highest pick, was only 10th. Even so, the Pacers relied on the draft and proper reinforcements to become the top team in the league. Amazing, really magical......"

Looking at the bustling makeup photo shoot, Spike. Lee shook his head. If the Knicks' draft vision could have this half, they would have risen a long time ago.

The black director is here because he keeps his promise to follow Henson and his team several times starting this season to document the Pacers' season.

It sounds like an exaggeration to spend an entire year filming with a team. But in fact, most of the production of a movie is calculated based on the production cycle of "years". It's normal to spend a year making a movie.

Spike. Lee is confident that he will record a great season. That's right, a great season. Now, even Spike. Lee, the number one Knicks fan, will not question the ability of Henson and the Pacers.

Just looking at these players, Spike. Lee was already very excited. He really wanted to know how these guys trained, how they competed, and how they won. Of course, the players are not the point. Spike. What Li cares about most is the Chinese coach! After all, this is a documentary film with him as the main character!

"Spike! Sorry, I was just taking pictures. Welcome to Indianapolis, man. What do you think? You're used to living in this kind of rural place. You know, it's not as big a city as New York. "Right here in Spike. While Lee was pondering, the protagonist appeared.

Henson. Joe walked up laughing and greeted the black director warmly. They look like two old friends, but the pair even sparked a media war between New York and Indianapolis last season.

Not to mention the others, even Spike. Lee himself could never have imagined that he would one day shoot a documentary for the Knicks' rival team. Because sometimes, you really have to admit the greatness of your opponent. It's like Spike. Lee liked Jordan and Kobe, and now, he also liked the unruly Chinese coach.

"Don't talk cool things, Henson. Indianapolis isn't a country town, it was just a way for us New York fans to attack before the New York vs. Pacers game, don't take it seriously. "Spike. Lee waved his hand, he wasn't going to argue with Henson.

"How? The first step is to take a picture of our glory showroom? The showroom was renovated this offseason, and it's now splendid! ”

"When you win three in a row, I'll shoot in the glory showroom, Henson. Now, we still have a lot to work out. Are you allowed and in the locker room? Are I allowed to film your workouts? Also, is it possible for me to install a miniature microphone for you while you're playing? I still have to get permission from you or the team management to do this. Of course, I won't leak any of the footage ahead of time. Rest assured, I have a work ethic. ”

"You've got permission, Spike. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now. You do your job, I do mine. When we're done with both of our jobs, trust me, the fans will be in for a treat. ”

"Then I'll be stationed at the training ground tomorrow and take pictures of your training. That won't affect your preparation for the new season, right? ”

"Don't worry, Spike. This season," Henson said, pulling out a cigar and lighting himself, "this season, no one can influence us. Our goal is to win three championships in a row, to be a dynasty, to tie this whole league! So, you can just shoot with confidence."

Spike. Lee smiled and nodded slightly. It was as if he had found the opening line of the movie.

A pair of eyes that are about to witness the Pacers' great moments this season. Then, this scene was shown to the fans.

Spike. Lee rubbed his hands, he hadn't been so excited for a long time to start a new season.
