Sorry, I'll go home as soon as the overtime is over, and I'll order a takeout to continue writing the next chapter! Hope to be able to do two more!

"Hi Liu, welcome to the Nike family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" George took the initiative to step forward and greet Liu Ren.

Liu Ren responded with a smile: "Thank you, this is really incredible, if it was a year ago now, I would definitely not believe that there is such a day." ”

"It's no accident that people who work hard will always succeed." George praised.

Liu Ren nodded in agreement: "Of course, you are right, just as correct as we will defeat you today." ”

George laughed when he heard Liu Ren's words: "I think your prediction can't come true, we are the best team in the world, and it will definitely be us who wins the game today." ”

It's no wonder George is so confident, the Pacers have made a near-best start to the Bulls this year, and the game has reached the final game of the third month, but the Pacers have only lost six games.

Everyone in the Pacers is very confident right now, especially George, who is considered the MVP favorite, and he has been promoted to the best by Coach Frank Vogel.

Although Liu Ren knows that George began to decline after the All-Star because he was still in the middle of the regular season, George is definitely a difficult opponent right now.

Liu Ren and George had a joke and returned to the Lakers bench, one to see if D'Antoni had any special arrangements, and the other to see if there was any way to deal with the Pacers based on what he remembered.

Pacers head coach Vogel is inexperienced, only knows how to improve the team's state, and does not do proper pressing, resulting in the regular season at the beginning of the regular season to play late regular season form, by the middle of the regular season has played playoff state, and then directly into the offseason state in the late regular season.

Not to mention that Vogel's inexperience has made Pacers fans happy for more than half a season, Liu Ren doesn't care about this matter at all, how the Pacers have nothing to do with him, what he cares about is how to find the weaknesses of the current almost impeccable Pacers.

George and Hibbert are definitely the strongest defenders at the small forward and center positions right now, and of course right now, the two are pretty much the best defensive form of their careers.

The Pacers now rank first in the league in defensive efficiency and third in the league in points conceded, conceding just 92 points per game, and the only teams they have conceded fewer points than the Bulls and Pacers are the two teams that completely abandon offense and only defend.

But even so, the Grizzlies are only conceding 0.7 fewer points per game than the Pacers, and the Bulls are only conceding 0.3 fewer points than the Pacers, a negligible difference.

And the Pacers are not only good defensively, but also in the middle of the league offensively, with the Grizzlies and Bulls averaging a penultimate score of just 92 points per game and a fourth-to-last game.

The Pacers, while maintaining the league's best defensive efficiency, rank 15th in the league on offense, averaging 102 points per game.

It's fair to say that the Pacers have a very strong dominance on both ends of the floor, so it makes sense to start a season comparable to the Bulls' 72-win season.

Liu Ren is very clear about one thing, no matter if the Pacers' players fall directly into the offseason state after the All-Star break in the next half month, now the Pacers are definitely playing in the state that only the playoffs or even the Finals will have every game.

The Pacers lineup is already very good, with three good players at the point guard position: George Hill, CJ Watson, and Solomon Hill.

George Hill is averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, he is a player who has been trained under the standard Spurs system, knows his strengths and weaknesses, can always make the best choices on the court, and is the engine of the Pacers' offense.

Watson and Solomon Hill were both undrafted and now belong to the little-known type, but Liu Ren knows that these two people will later get mixed into the middle contract, and Solomon Hill will get mixed with tens of millions of annual salaries, and they are both very useful role players.

The Pacers at the shooting guard position include Lance Stephenson and Rasol Butler.

Stephenson is averaging 14 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and is the Pacers' third-highest scorer, first-rebound, and first-assist super point guard.

Stephenson, who is in his contract year, is playing really well, and in such a team that plays team basketball, he can get this Yang's stats, especially his rebounds, which are almost catching up with Liu Ren.

Liu Ren knows that Stephenson will not be able to play in the future because of personality problems, but this guy's strength is indeed extremely good.

Rasol Butler is a seasoned veteran with a three-point shot and a solid game of playing time.

The Pacers' solid backcourt has a big advantage against most teams in the league, because George Hill and Stephenson are the kind of players who defend more than they attack, rarely making mistakes, and instead often prevent opponents from making mistakes.

If the Pacers' backcourt is described as steady, the frontcourt can be compared to flashy.

The front court of George, David West and Hibbert dominated the first half of the season.

And the frontcourt bench also has Luis Scola, Chris Copeland, Lavoy Allen, and Ian Mashinmi, all of whom are high-quality role players who will get big contracts with a big salary cap rise in the future.

Such a group of people were stimulated out of the playoffs, and Liu Ren felt that his brain hurt when he thought about it.

"Weaknesses, what exactly are the weaknesses of the current Pacers?" Liu Ren didn't care about D'Antoni's constant emphasis on offensive resoluteness, don't be led into the rhythm of the Pacers, he took the assistant coach to the Pacers team to analyze what weaknesses he wanted to find.

After looking for a long time, Liu Ren suddenly found that the walker didn't seem to have any weaknesses!

Almost all of the Pacers' stats are positive!

That is, whether the Pacers score, or rebound, or assist, shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, blocks, steals...... These stats are better than the average of their opponents per game!

And it's a lot stronger!

Not only that, but the Pacers' negative stats are also leveraged, playing 44 games and averaging 11.5 turnovers per game, the fewest in the league! The average is only 9.9 points per game for the opponent's fast break, which is less than 10 points!

Liu Ren took a closer look, if the Pacers have a weakness, it is that their own data is not high, and they can only be regarded as the average level of the league, but they are strong in beating their opponents' data to the bottom of the league!

"my uncle! What's the big deal, doesn't it just look like an invincible opponent? I don't believe I can't overthrow them! ”

Liu Ren looked at it for a long time and decided not to think about it, no matter how he thought about it, the other party is now the best team, and the current Pacers can be called the top team in the history of the NBA, such a team should have looked invincible.

But no matter how invincible you are, you haven't lost 6 games? It's not like you didn't lose a game!

Liu Ren constantly cheered himself up, and used the self-hypnosis method of psychology that he watched when he was bored to imply that the other party was not invulnerable! (To be continued.) )
