On December 21, the Pacers had another game. They played at home against the Bucks.

The Bucks' current record is 13 wins and 11 losses. Coincidentally, the Pacers and the Bucks have the same record!

After a wave of four consecutive wins, the Pacers have risen from the edge of the playoffs to the sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

Tonight, there is destined to be only one sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Pacers' starting lineup was slightly adjusted. West took a rest and Hansbrough replaced the starting power forward.

The Bucks' starting lineup is point guard Jennings, shooting guard Ellis, small forward Daniels, power forward Mbah a Moute, center Sanders.

If you are not a loyal fan of the Bucks, you may feel a little unfamiliar with this lineup. After all, the reputation is really average, and only Jennings and Ellis have a relatively high presence.

Jennings is a little special. This guy is at the peak when he debuted, but unlike the peak of Shifo Daidai, his peak is like a flash in the pan, a meteor flashes by, and there is no follow-up.

In his rookie season, he scored 55 points in a single game, which was shocking.

But that game seemed to have exhausted all his touch. Since then, Jennings has never scored 40+ in a single game again.

Today, he averages 17.5 points and 6.5 assists per game, which can be called a qualified point guard.

But compared with the high expectations he had in the past, he is obviously far inferior.

Ellis was the leader of the Warriors before, averaging 25.5 points per game in his peak period, which was really strong.

But with the rise of Curry and the arrival of Thompson, his position has been severely challenged.

The Warriors management chose the future and traded him to the Bucks.

In the Bucks, Ellis is still the team's top scorer, averaging 19.2 points and 5.5 assists per game this season.

Jennings and Ellis are the core of the Bucks, a weakened version of the "backcourt double guns".

Their shortcomings are also very obvious. One of them is that their shooting is unstable and their offensive efficiency is not high.

The hit rate of both players fluctuates around 40%, and Ellis' three-point hit rate is less than 30%.

On the surface, their data is quite good, but they are all exchanged for high shots.

Why do they still have so many opportunities to shoot? It's purely because the Bucks have no one available, so they can only use the short ones to pick the tall ones.

The second, and the most fatal point: the defense is too poor.

The backcourt double guns may not be a kaleidoscope on the offensive end, but they are really stabbed by thousands of people on the defensive end.

Jennings is 185cm and Ellis is 191cm. The two of them partner in the backcourt. The defensive line is like paper and can be easily torn.

Even so, the Bucks can still rank sixth in the East during this period, which is really intriguing.

Perhaps the backcourt double guns often explode, and once the nervous players explode, they are indeed quite fierce.

Tonight, in front of the Pacers, they failed to explode successfully, but were exploded by the Pacers.

The Bucks' backcourt defense had been penetrated like a sieve, and they couldn't defend against the impact of He Feng and Paul George at all.

Not only the outside line, the Bucks' inside line couldn't hold up either.

Hansbrough, who started the game, "ran wildly" in the inside line, quite like an All-Star inside line.

The final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 86:110, and the Pacers defeated the Bucks by 24 points, winning five consecutive victories.

Ellis made 22 crazy shots, a total of 8 of 22 shots, in exchange for 22 points.

Jennings made 16 shots, only 3 shots, and only scored 8 points.

The brothers didn't play well, and other players made sporadic contributions, but it was far from enough.

Hansbrough made 8 of 14 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Paul George made 7 of 15 shots, and also had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Compared with the previous few games, He Feng's data can be described as "ordinary", with 11 of 15 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, "only" getting 29 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal.

《Surprise! Chinese star He Feng is just a flash in the pan after all, scoring less than 30 points in a single game!》

The Pacers are ready to go, board a flight, temporarily leave Indiana, and fly to Houston.

Their game with the Rockets will be played tomorrow, which is also their last game before Christmas.

"I heard that the nightclubs in Houston are very good, Harden is very familiar with this place, and I am also very familiar with Harden, otherwise I will ask him to take us..."

Before Paul George finished speaking, he was covered by He Feng.

Why is this guy always thinking about nightclubs?

Does he know that his future true love is waiting for him in the nightclub?

"Oh, by the way, you are still young, you are not yet 21 years old. Look at my memory, why can't I remember it?"

Pickled Pepper scratched the back of his head and laughed.At the same time, he was thinking: "He Feng will be 21 years old in half a year, right? I'll take him to experience it!"

Paul George didn't go to the nightclub the night before the game, and he rested properly to prepare for the next day's game.

As for the Rockets' current star player, whether "Hakishi" seriously "practiced" in the nightclub at four in the morning, it is not clear.

...

"Dear audience friends, the game between the Pacers and the Rockets is about to start, and China Central Sports Channel will report it for you!"

Coach Zhang explained the game to the audience in real time, and the commentator sitting next to him was still his old partner, Mr. Yang Jian.

Coach Zhang started the game preview, "The Pacers have won five games in a row and are in great shape!

Especially our Chinese player He Feng, his shape is beyond words!

During the Pacers' five-game winning streak, He Feng averaged 40.2 points per game. How strong is his scoring ability?

Not only was he elected the Player of the Week last week, he also appeared on the cover of Time magazine, and ranked in the top two of the Eastern Conference backcourt players in the All-Star voting. It is said that the Pacers are ready to renew his contract with a maximum salary contract, and major shoe brands such as Nike and Adidas are also spending a lot of money to find him as an endorsement...

Now He Feng is already a real star!

Sorry, I accidentally went too far.

In short, He Feng and the Pacers are both in high spirits.

As for the Rockets, they have just ended their losing streak, and their recent shape is also good, and they have the home advantage.

So what kind of sparks will the two sides create? Can the Rockets defend their home court? Let's wait and see!"
