The Pacers finally welcomed George Hill's comeback until the end of the year.

In the previous few games, the Pacers' performance was relatively stable.

After losing to the Los Angeles Clippers, the team ushered in three consecutive victories, defeating the Nuggets Timberwolves and the Pelicans one after another.

On Christmas, the Pacers regretfully did not qualify for the competition. This was the first time that Li Liang failed to participate in the Christmas battle.

But there is no way, teams like the Pacers are still at a disadvantage in terms of schedule.

Moreover, the league did not expect that Li Liang would leave Los Angeles and go to Cleveland, and then run from Cleveland to Indiana.

Therefore, the highlight of the arrangement of the League Christmas Battle is that James leads the Cavaliers back to Miami.

If Li Liang is also in the Cavaliers, there will be more highlights and topics in this game.

Unfortunately, Li Liang went to the Pacers, and this season I can feel that Xiao Hua's tendency to deal with Li Liangying coldly.

As the new president of Lianmei, he must create a new "basketball hero" of his own era.

How could Xiao Hua treat him as a foreigner who embarrasses himself as soon as he takes office and moves around after winning the championship.

So he went to Indiana, which was exactly what the league wanted. Just stay in the cornfield, the spotlight does not belong to you.

But gold will not lose its light because it is placed in the wrong place, and it will not be regarded as corn just because it is placed in the corn field.

In the last three games, Li Liang scored 40 points in three consecutive games. In the game against the Nuggets, the team only scored 81 points in the whole game, and Li Liang scored 42 points alone, exceeding half of the team's score.

On the road to hit the scoring champion, Li Liangzheng is getting faster and faster.

After the Christmas War, the Pacers' state experienced some ups and downs.

No., they lost to the Photriot Pistons in the away game.

After defeating the Nets away on the 27th, he returned to home on the 29th and lost to the Chicago Bulls by 1 point.

In the regular season encounter, the instability of the defensive teams was still revealed.

All defenses will not deceive you. In fact, from the regular season, under the long season, the record of defensive teams is always worse than that of offensive teams.

Correspondingly, offensive teams have achieved better regular season records and will be criticized for being difficult to win the championship in the playoffs.

Li Liang's performance after Christmas also showed some ups and downs.

Now he is the first scoring arrow of the League, and the targets of each team are getting stronger and stronger. He has begun to enjoy Kobe's treatment.

Since you enjoy Kobe's treatment, Kobe will inevitably perform.

In the past two seasons, Li Liang has always been synonymous with "efficiency".

By this season, Li Liang has been scientifically intensive several times.

In fact, his strength has improved compared to the past. Because of this, the increase in ball rights will inevitably lead to a decrease in efficiency.

After losing to the Bulls, the Pacers' record came to a loss.

14 years have not ended yet, and the Pacers have lost more than the Clippers last year.

When the number one is here, the Pacers are playing against the Miami Heat at home. The good news finally comes and George Hill returns to the team.

Larry Bird looked forward to the full Pacers for the entire season, and finally achieved it before this game.

Hill had already started training with the team before three years. By the 30th, he participated in the team's confrontational training and proved that he had recovered and could participate in the competition.

Hill's arrival made up for the Pacers' last shortcoming on the back line.

With the blowout situation of the point guard under the joint cap, it is really bad that there is no reliable defender at No. 1.

Sloan is quite powerful on the offensive end, but his role in letting go cannot be compared with George Hill.

After Hill's return, the Pacers' lineup was theoretically complete.

Bird has been debugging for half a season and has lined up McGee Lee Leung Granger JR Smith and George Hill to start.

Then, the main players on the bench became Stephenson, David West, Shampoo and Louis Scola.

Currently, the Pacers are in good condition, and what you need now is to prove yourself.

The Pacers ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, half a win-win difference from the fifth-ranked Bulls.

And immediately behind the Pacers is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Because the Cavaliers started so badly, they fell to the end of the East for a while.

In December, the Cavaliers recovered their form and began to catch up with them under the leadership of James.

They won an eight-game winning streak in early December.

However, the Cavaliers have been in trouble recently, and their successive defeats have made people wonder how much energy James still has.

Compared with the cooldown Li Liang and the suspected James, the hottest team in the league is the Golden State Warriors.

By the 31st, they had achieved excellent record of 24 wins and 5 losses, and a golden three-point whirlwind was blowing in the league.

The "Splash Brothers" formed by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson began to occupy the headlines of Lianmei.

When the Warriors face their opponents, they almost always win in a devastating way.

The doubts about Steve Cole before the start of the season were swept away.

People all Steve Cole really activated the Warriors and injected the champion gene into the Warriors' bodies.

As a new force in the United Nations, the Golden State Warriors are the most popular this season.

The Pacers and Warriors will have their first encounter in 15 years.

To be honest, Li Liang still finds it boring in the Eastern Conference competition.

The overall strength of the Eastern Conference team is indeed worse than that of the Western Conference, and the number of stars is much smaller.

Moreover, the style of the Eastern team is more defensive and dull, unlike the West, where the offensive style is mainly used, and the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves.

However, during this period, Li Liang calmed down and entered the system to learn some new tactical knowledge.

With the change of role, Li Liang faced Bao Xing's super high-intensity defense in the game with more and more targeted defenses, and even malicious collision-type defenses.

In addition to further improving physical fitness and technical ability, and taking out a hair dryer to scold his opponent, Li Liang felt that it was necessary to learn some tactical theories to deal with these defenses.

Although there are two best coaches in the team, Bird Li Liang doesn't want to ask, Horse Game has not yet won Bird, so he can't bear to face it.

Mike Brown... Forget it, Li Liang doesn't want to talk to him recently.

This guy has been a little obsessed recently and is carefully designing the "oppressive defensive tactics with Li Liang as the core". Li Liang felt a big headache when he heard this name.

Is I going to perform oppressive defense again?

I was too busy to get busy, so I still didn't discuss it with him.

Then, Li Liang entered the system and chose the [Breaking Bag Task in [Advanced Offensive Tactics] in Dimension Five and Tactical Literacy.

Then he entered the training ground and began to receive guidance from the former Rockets coach Tom Janovic.

In the Rockets, Olajuwon suffered countless double-teams, but how to crack double-teams, Tang Shuai naturally has his own wonderful blink

Li Liang thought, I am an outside line, is it appropriate for me to learn from the center to break double team?

Could it be that Brown's idea is correct?

It's impossible, I don't believe it, I don't want to play center.

Facts have proved that the methods and techniques of breaking double-teaming are similar in both internal and external lines. The key is how to handle the ball reasonably and calmly.

Li Liang followed the Houston Rockets in the system for a week after training, and the ability of the broken bag was improved.

So, on the 31st, the complete Pacers faced the Heat without James at home, and the result was imagined.

George Hill scored 20 points in the game, which could be a perfect return.

Li Liang continued his performance as the scoring champion, with 35 points and 8 assists in a single game, and defended Bosh one-on-one, defending Bosh to the point where he only scored 14 points.

The Pacers' advantage in scoring the Heat in Conseco Arena.
