On the opening day of the new season, the NBA officially arranged three games. Although they were all focus games, the number of games was still a little less.

The next day, the NBA officially released a big move and arranged a full 14 matches.

Now the fans can really feast their eyes.

The Pacers also had a game on this day.

They will go to the away game to face the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sitting on the flight to the West, many players have not recovered from last night's carnival.

The championship award ceremony + the season's opening victory, such a happy thing, they naturally have to celebrate it well, these young people still have a little insufficient sleep.

It is really appropriate to describe this Pacers team as tired from traveling and physically exhausted.

After the game started, it was indeed the case.

The Pelicans' home fans even felt that this "new champion" on the field was very unfamiliar, no different from an ordinary underdog.

The sound of iron shots was heard everywhere, and there was no smooth offense like "mercury pouring down on the ground" before.

In the first quarter, the Pacers shot 7 out of 20, and rarely attacked the basket, failed to get free throws, and only scored 16 points in a single quarter.

Although the Pelicans' hit rate of 9 out of 20 shots was not outrageous, they frequently attacked the inside line, and the Pacers' defense was a beat slower, always causing fouls.

The Pelicans, who had 7 free throws in a single quarter, also took the lead and led by 10 points in a single quarter, defending the dignity of the home court.

"What's wrong with the Pacers? It's a bit confusing!"

"The Pelicans' strength is average no matter how you look at it! They can actually lead by double digits in a single quarter, which is something."

"This is the Pacers' back-to-back game. They haven't rested well yet, and it's normal that they are slow to get into shape."

"..."

Although they fell behind in the first quarter, most Pacers fans were not panicked. They still believed that the Pacers had this adjustment ability.

In the second quarter, the Pacers' condition improved, but not much, and they scored 23 points in a single quarter.

The Pelicans scored 27 points in a single quarter, further widening the gap.

It was wonderful to enter the second half with a 14-point lead!

Will we beat the new champion tonight?

At this moment, the Hornets fans had a bold idea in their hearts.

"14 points, it's really nothing!"

Now, there are still many Pacers fans who are quite calm, and they believe in the twin stars.

As long as they can get back to their form, such a small difference is just a matter of a wave.

In the third quarter, the Pacers twin stars did respond.

They finally "woke up"!

First of all, it was reflected on the defensive end. The defensive ability of the two was unquestionable, and they directly locked the Pelicans' outside attackers.

Eric Gordon made 0 of 4, Holiday made 2 of 7, and the Pelicans could only rely on the second-year No. 1 pick Davis to score hard.

Like the Pacers in the first quarter, the Pelicans only scored 16 points.

The Pacers scored 24 points on offense, but they were still behind.

But everyone knows that the fourth quarter is when the Pacers win the game.

In the fourth quarter, the Pacers played their defensive counterattacks to the fullest.

With He Feng and George on the outside and Hibbert on the inside, it became much more difficult for the Pelicans to score every point.

Although George's touch is still average, He Feng is enough on offense.

And dunking does not require a touch. After a successful defense, He Feng will throw it to Paul George, who also easily completed two unguarded dunks.

In the last quarter, the Pacers let the Pelicans experience what a "championship team" is.

37 points in a single quarter, a sure thing.

The Pelicans scored 24 points in a single quarter, and lost 13 points in the last quarter.

The Pacers also won two consecutive victories "without any danger".

"Am I right? We can always trust the Indianapolis Twins."

"The Pacers' youngsters really know how to have fun, only starting to show their strength in the second half."

"The Pelicans fans were laughing in the first half; why didn't they laugh in the second half?"

"..."

The Pacers fans couldn't help but tease.
