In the game with the Cavaliers, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle discharged the starting lineup of point guard Jamal Tinsley, point guard Reggie Miller, small forward Artest, power forward Shaquille O'Neal and center Jeff foster.

He put Al Harrington on the bench, acted as a wonderful soldier on the bench, led the reserve team and maintained the impact of the reserve team.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is: new point guard Jeff McGinnis, point guard Eric Williams, small forward James, power forward Boozer and center Z.

"What do you think of this game?" Kenny Smith asked Buckley.

"I like LeBron very much, but I have to say that the strength of the Pacers is much better than that of the Cavaliers.

The Pacers led by Miller beat the Cavaliers in the backcourt.

The combination of Artest and O'Neal may be older than the combination of LeBron and Boozer.

Shaquille O'Neal has no problem beating Boozer now. He is now the top power forward in the league, and Artest's defensive ability is very aimed at LeBron, so the Cavaliers won't be good in the front.

On the contrary, the center position is bigger Z, which is stronger than foster, but the Cavaliers are not a team relying on the inside, and foster doesn't play a big role in the Pacers.

Don't forget that Harrington is sitting on the bench in the Pacers. As soon as he comes up, O'Neill can top the center. Harrington's attack ability is very strong. No one in the Cavaliers reserve lineup can match him.

So the Cavaliers should have little chance to win this game. " Buckley analyzed.

Kenny Smith smiled and said, "you didn't say that because the Pacers are now at the top of the league?"

Buckley shook his head. "Of course not. To be honest, I'm surprised that the Pacers can rank first in the league. It's not the Lakers and Timberwolves who have experienced big deals. Before the start of the season, no one could expect the Pacers to come to this position. "

Kenny Smith nodded in agreement. "The Pacers are playing very steadily. The Cavaliers are not very stable. At the beginning of the season, they have been losing in a row, and then played a good performance for two months. After encountering the devil, the schedule fell back, but now they seem to be back on track. "

"Three rookie teams are in the playoffs this year. LeBron's Cavaliers, Wade's heat and Anthony's Nuggets have played an important role in their respective teams. It's kind of incredible. Especially the Cavaliers and the Nuggets. Last season, they were the penultimate in the East and West. This season, they entered the playoffs. This year's rookie players are really good. " Buckley changed the subject.

"Piston's Milicic can also enter the playoffs. Why don't you mention him?" Kenny Smith quipped.

"Hiss, this guy can't get time under Larry Brown, and is moving towards the direction of super parallel goods..." Buckley said disdainfully.

At this point, the game on the field will begin.

James went to the table where the magnesium powder was prepared for him, grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and threw his hands up.

The fans at the scene screamed.

Candice smiled and watched her man do this, warm-up, appearance and ceremony among her teammates. She felt very interesting.

She thought James might be very popular among the fans, but now at the home of the Cavaliers, she knew that his popularity among the fans was far more than she thought.

She was proud of the fans' thunderous cheers and shouts for his name. It was her man.

And her men in these processes, but also from time to time to her affectionate eyes, which makes her feel happy.

Both sides jump the ball and the game begins.

Big Z jumps the ball to, and the Cavaliers attack first.

McGinnis controls the ball and pushes forward. McGinnis is still better than Jr Bremer. At least he will not be as water as Bremer in attack ability. He still has a certain independent attack ability, and the passing is better than other Cavaliers players except James.

So the Cavaliers' small deal is worth it.

McGinnis came with the ball, picked up and removed it from James, broke in with the ball, attracted the contraction defense of the Pacers, passed the ball back to James, and James took two points first.

Candice jumped up and waved two small pink fists.

The Pacers attacked. After Tinsley brought the ball, he broke through Miller and caused a foul by Eric Williams.

The Pacers serve and hang the ball in the low position, relying on O'Neill Jr. of Boozer.

O'Neill took the ball and hit Boozer with his back. After leaning in for a few times, he suddenly turned around and made a jump shot. The basketball banged on the iron, but Boozer's hitter committed a foul.

O'Neal stood on the free throw line and made two free throws and one goal.

Big Z grabbed the rebound and gave it to James to push with the ball.

Artest chased after James. With the pick and roll cooperation of the Cavaliers just now, he chose to shrink in and chase McGinnis. As a result, James caught him out of the mobile phone meeting and scored the ball.

This time he decided to prevent the rookie.

The Cavaliers followed James, and Eric Williams and McGinnis followed up from the left and right.

On the Pacers side, in addition to Artest, Miller and Tinsley also followed.

James took the lead in rushing to the front court with the ball, and Artest's straight-line running speed was not slow, catching up behind.

If James takes off and layup directly, he is likely to be chased by Artest behind him.

So James didn't choose to lay up directly, but brake in place and use the rhythm to seduce Artest.

But Artest didn't stop his body because of running at high speed. He was very smart in defense and could spare himself to deal with the unexpected changes of his opponent.

After suddenly stepping over James, he forcibly reduced his speed, turned around and raised his hand to seal James's shot. He didn't take a reckless jump in the process. If he took a jump, it would be difficult for him to make further defense in the air.

It's really a top defensive player.

Seeing this, James took off after shaking and raised the ball over his head.

This time Artest also took off and continued to intercept with both hands.

But James didn't intend to force a shot. He chose to pass the ball and transferred the ball from the head to McGinnis who followed from the other side to assist McGinnis to score a layup.
