Chapter 46 Pacers, Pacers!
After the game against the Jazz, a group of media surrounded Popovich, "Mr. Greg, when will Qin Yan be free to accept interviews?"

Popovich: "Well, Qin Yan has a problem with his akimbo muscle today, and it will be fine when he recovers from the injury."

The reporters were speechless for a while. Today, I wanted to ask why Qin Yan, Leonard and others didn't play today. Is there any conflict with the coach or can't gain the trust of the coach. (Of course, it’s purely looking for trouble. Everyone knows that Popovich has no reason to take a break.)
As a result, as soon as the game ended today, these few players who were not playing were sent away by Popovich directly. The reporters didn't block the door, and they didn't even find anyone.

Of course, Popovich also understands that reporters can no longer stop interviewing players, especially Qin Yan, but Popovich also believes that after these demonstrations, Qin Yan should also be ready to deal with the media up.

The next opponent of the Spurs is the Indiana Pacers. This is a team with a long history, and it was once a powerful team.

The most famous star of the Pacers should be Reggie Miller of the last century, the man who once pushed Joe's leader to complete the lore, the man who once brought humiliation to Jordan, and used his thin body to support the Pacers. spine.

In 2004, the Pacers were infinitely close to the championship. In that year, the Pacers had the flourishing Jermaine O'Neal, the tough "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson, and the defensive master, "The Beast" Ronaldo. En Artest, moreover, they also had Reggie Miller at the end of his career, the most famous killer in the league at that time, although Miller was the last light of the sunset at that time, as long as Miller stood Outside the line is the force that cannot be ignored, and at the most critical moment, he is still the most threatening person!
The Pacers of that year were the most promising time to win the championship. Unfortunately, on November 2004, 11, with Artest's punch, everything was ruined. up.More than half of the Pacers' main players were suspended, and the team's strength was greatly reduced. In the end, it was a pity that Miller had to retire with his pursuit of the championship and his love for the team. He never returned to the NBA game.

And the luck of the Pacers seems to have been cut off in Auburn Hills. This blow made the Pacers have not recovered for a long time. Although some powerful players like TJ-Ford joined in the middle, these players are Plagued by injuries, a little guy named Danny Granger finally rose up. This guy won the "Most Improved Player" award in the 08-09 season, was selected as the Eastern All-Star, and also led the With the Pacers back to the playoffs.

But the sky is not beautiful, and the haze of Auburn Hills seems to have not dissipated, and it still hangs over the Pacers. Granger, the emerging leader, has not been able to fully exert his energy, and has been hit by serious injuries. .This season, Granger was plagued by knee injuries before the start of the season and couldn't play at all!
This troubled Pacers, Qin Yan felt sorry for them in his heart, because Qin Yan knew that Paul George, the head of the Pacers, broke his leg seriously!At that time, I almost thought that George would not be able to stand up!Fortunately, in the end George overcame his injury and was reborn from the ashes, otherwise the fate of the Pacers would be really tragic.

After the Pacers got rid of Granger this season, there were not many big fish left, all of them were small shrimps. At this time, "Pickled Pepper" George hadn't grown up yet.And Roy Hibbert, the "black Yao Ming", is reasonable, he is really a "black" Yao Ming in strength, and his various skills and abilities are incomparable to Yao Ming. Qin Yan also knows that this Comrade Hibbert Later, he was also nicknamed "Gao Yuanyuan". To be honest, this guy is really average, just a blue-collar worker.

As for the later "blowing brother" Lance Stephenson, he is still a second-year freshman, and he is not the defensive champion who can blow in James' ear.

As for the others, forget it, let’s not talk about it.

Qin Yan turned on the computer, kept going through the information of each opponent in his mind, thinking about how to score points from the defense of these opponents tomorrow.

This is Qin Yan's habit. The night before the start of the game, he will look at the situation of his opponent and add the memories in his mind, so that he can truly know himself and the enemy.

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Qin Yan took it over and saw that it was the girl Su Xiaoya.

"Hey, girl, are you still up so late?" Qin Yan asked while picking up the tactical map.

"Well, do you know that you played well in these two games, and your fans have increased again. But because you have not been freely interviewed by the media, many media are talking bad things about you." Su Xiaoya's voice came from the phone came from one side.

"It's hard work. You help me manage the website every day. I really don't know how to thank you." Qin Yan is still very grateful to Su Xiaoya. She still has to finish her studies at school, but she still has to worry about her own affairs. It's hard work for this girl.

"Well, it's nothing. The specific things are still done by Duffy and the others. I just help to see, but ah, you really have to be interviewed."

"Well, the old man has agreed, and I can be interviewed in the next game." Qin Yan said the news he got today.

"Well, that's good, by the way, you have to remember that I am your future press officer, and you will pay me back my salary in the future~" Miss Su's voice was very excited.

"Okay, got it."

……

Next, the two of them started a very boring conversation on the phone for more than an hour. Oh, yes, it was still a video call. Miss Su was wandering around in her dormitory in her cute pajamas, looking very leisurely.

Qin Yan later hung up the phone on the grounds that it was getting late. After all, Su Yatou had class tomorrow morning, and although his game was at night, he still had to go to the arena for some practice during the day.

So the two of them ended the call in an atmosphere of some reluctance, and Qin Yan went to bed quickly. After all, adequate rest before the battle is the first element of victory.

The next night, the AT&T Center, home of the Spurs, was once again overcrowded.

Tonight, except for Granger, the Pacers are all out, and all the immediate combat power has come to San Antonio.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith came here tonight to explain the game. It is worth mentioning that Kenny Smith lost a bet after Qin Yan's first game, and he will explain the Heat's game next. He really changed into women's clothing, which made Smith popular again. Of course, it also made Smith dare not underestimate Qin Yan anymore.

And tonight, Bacchus and Smith will commentate Qin Yan's game again. This pair of TNT's most famous commentators seems to be Qin Yan's fans now.

"Wow wow, Kenny, today's Pacers seem to be in high spirits! It seems that they are bound to win the game!" Barkley said exaggeratedly.

"Charles, you should be glad that Reggie is not in charge of the commentary today, otherwise he will definitely strangle you to death." Smith said.

"Haha, Kenny, didn't you realize that Reggie is sitting in the auditorium today!" Barkley pointed at a figure in the front row of auditorium with sharp eyes and waved.

At this time, the spotlight on the scene also hit Reggie Miller, and Miller also stood up very simply, and greeted the fans cooperatively.

The mascot of the Spurs, the Little Wolf, even brought a basketball to Miller. Miller walked onto the field with a smile, stood two steps away from the three-point line, and then used his most standard moves to make a hollow three-pointer. ball.

All the fans stood up and applauded Miller. Although Miller was not a hero in San Antonio, Miller was respected as one of the few players in the league who devoted his life to only one team. Players like "Admiral" Robinson and "Stone Buddha" Duncan, so fans still have a sense of recognition for him.

Barkley began to introduce the Pacers' starting lineup tonight, "Okay, let's take a look at the Pacers' starting lineup tonight."

Center: Roy Hibbert

Power Forward: David West

Small Forward: Paul George
Shooting Guard: Gerald Green
Point Guard: George Hill
This lineup should be the strongest lineup that the Pacers can play at present.If Granger hadn't been injured, the Pacers would have the same combination of perimeter players as the Spurs. Granger and George, like Leonard and Qin Yan of the Spurs, are players who can both attack and defend. And they can play swingers, and they even have a division of labor with one offense and one defense!

Originally, the most important point of this game was the duel between these two perimeter combinations, but Granger's injury made this point shattered.

Therefore, the biggest problem for the Pacers tonight is how to limit the Spurs' "ice and fire" perimeter.

"Okay, let's look at the Spurs' starting lineup again. Oh, this is a lineup that we are all familiar with." Smith took the conversation.

The Spurs lineup tonight is no different from Game [-]:
Center: Thiago Splitter
Power Forward: Tim Duncan
Small Forward: Kawhi Leonard
Shooting guard: Qin Yan

Point Guard: Tony Parker
After being rested for a game, Qin Yan returned to the starting lineup again, which directly debunked the bad media rumors that Qin Yan could not be trusted by the head coach.

In the playoff position of the Spurs bench, a yellow-skinned little girl was sitting there looking around curiously. It was obviously the first time she had been to such a place, and the atmosphere made her feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Hi, girl, are you here to cheer for Qin?" Suddenly an old man with white beard and hair in front of the little girl asked the little girl kindly.

The little girl, that is, Mina, felt relieved when she saw the old man's smile. She thought the old man was very kind.

"Oh, are you from China too?" the old man asked again.

"No, brother and I met at school, just a few days ago." Mina was still very polite.

"Oh." The old man suddenly realized that he met when he went to the middle school to send warmth. Looking at the complexion, I thought this little girl was a Chinese girl just like Su.

Of course, this old man is naturally our respected old Popovich. I didn't expect this old man to gossip.

Qin Yan was warming up on the court at this time, but he didn't realize that Mina had come to the scene. He only thought about one thing now, that is, he must play well tonight and compete with the Pacers, especially against the one who has a broken leg. The man who can be reborn - Paul George's contest.

Come on, walkers!
