"Paul, the key to the outcome of this game is up to you."
On the bench, Pacers coach Frank Vogel patted the shoulder of team leader Paul George and said earnestly.
George took a sip of water and nodded in response.
The inter-section rest soon ended, and players on both sides of the Pacers and Nets also returned to their positions.
The two sides also agreed to put Wu Hyuk and George on the bench respectively. After all, the main players of the two teams played the first quarter, and they also need sufficient rest at this time.
For the Nets, Sean Larkin played instead of Wu Hyuk. He also formed a double point guard backcourt combination with Jack.
For the Pacers, George is replaced by Lavoy Lahren, who is also a very good rotation player.
"In this year's draft, Indiana selected the inside player Myles Turner from the University of Texas, but the head coach Vogel is obviously still in a wait-and-see state for the use of this young big man. Since the start of the game, Myers has not played a game."
Seeing the personnel rotation on the Pacers side, the TNT commentator on the scene also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned: "And coach Lionel Hollins boldly used rookies, which made Michael Wu shine."
"Because the Pacers are a team that has always aimed for the playoffs, they already have their own system. At this time, rashly using new players may destroy the team's original system." Another commentator saw it very thoroughly: "In contrast to their opponents, the Brooklyn Nets left Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett this summer, and they are already in a state of shortage."
"It's not the same as the Indiana team, so Michael Wu will have the opportunity to show himself."
The two commentators analyzed that the game had already started. Due to the lack of Wu He, the offense of the Nets was basically a one-on-one fight between Joe and Lopez.
But playing Joe alone is completely different. So far this season, he has averaged only 11.1 points per game, and his shooting percentage is also a career-low 36%, which is completely inconsistent with his salary of 2489 million US dollars this season.
So there are still rumors that the Nets are discussing with other teams about the trade of singles Joe, but because the Nets' record has been very strong so far this season, exceeding expectations, so his trade matters have also been put on hold for the time being.
But this is obviously not a long-term solution. Singles Joe's high salary and low performance this season are already a certainty, and sooner or later he will be disposed of by the Nets.
At this time, there was no Wu Hyuk on the court, and the Nets' outside offense should have been carried by singles Joe on one shoulder. However, his two mid-range shots all ended in iron strikes!
On the other hand, for the Pacers, CJ Mills and Monta Ellis are good solo players, especially Monta Ellis, who used to be the star of the Golden State Warriors, which is now the number one player in the league.
Sure enough, facing Joe's defense in singles, Monta Ellis should not play too easily. He has everything from mid-range shots to three-pointers.
Coupled with point guard George Hill's control of the pace of the Pacers' game, the gap between the two teams has gradually widened.
"beep!"
As George Hill used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Sean Larkin, and then scored outside Mills, the latter raised his hand and hit a three-pointer. Hollins couldn't sit still on the bench of the Nets. When he got up, he called a timeout directly!
Five minutes into the second quarter, the Pacers led the Nets by nine points at 5:37!
"Joe, didn't you bring a scope today!"
The players of the Nets all returned to the bench, and Hollins also got angry directly, aiming at the singles Joe who had no form today: "Look at your data, think about it on the bench!"
"Understood, coach."
Joe is also very helpless in singles. Since this season, he has also felt powerless. He is not fully sure of the best scoring method and the best scoring area in the past.
But once Wu Hyuk is gone, the team's shortcomings will undoubtedly be revealed.
My own problems are also revealed without a doubt!
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
In the singles game next to Joe, Wu Hyuk patted the former All-Star player. Hollins scolded Joe Johnson just now, and at the same time told him to calm down on the bench. Wu Hyuk knew that this meant that he was going to play.
Sure enough, the next step for Hollins is to arrange for the next player to play, and Wu Hyuk replaced Joe Johnson!
A whistle blew, the timeout ended, and the players from both sides returned. On the bench, Joe Johnson looked at Wu Hyuk, who was trotting all the way to the field, and couldn't help but think back to the Eagle King in Atlanta.
The former Eagle No. [-] was also in such high spirits!
"Michael Wu replaced Joe Johnson and got back on the court."
When the commentator on the scene saw Wu He playing again, his eyes lit up.
After all, Wu Hyuk is one of the current hot spots in the NBA. Watching his games is much more interesting than watching other people's singles.
"But on the Pacers side, coach Frank Vogel doesn't seem to have the idea of changing players. It seems that this time the Nets' personnel change is not in his plan!"
The Nets took Wu Hyuk up, but the Pacers didn't replace Paul George. Everyone thought it was because Coach Vogel didn't think of the Nets' decision to make this substitution, but is this really the case?
The Nets attacked, and Larkin sent the ball to Wu Hyuk. Wu Hyuk held the ball and faced Monta Ellis. On the sidelines, Coach Vogel appeared beside Paul George. Following Wu Hyuk's every move, he pointed at the court and said something to George.
As if, he was analyzing Wu Hyuk on the spot with George!
The purpose is also obvious!
On the field, Monta Ellis wanted to interfere with Wu He a little bit, but Wu He didn't pay attention to this kind of defense that didn't even have a close-fitting press. He took a step outside the three-point line and directly pulled out the shot!
"Wow! Michael Wu just hit a long-range three-pointer, and he hasn't shot yet!"
"This is just messing around!"
The on-site commentator was also going to analyze Wu He's offensive choice for this ball, but Wu He directly pulled out in front of them!
However, just as the commentator finished speaking, the basketball drew a smooth arc in the air, and then smashed into the net!
"One step outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer! Oh, is this the unreasonable Michael's play that others said before?" The ball scored, and the commentator looked helpless: "I didn't expect it to be so unreasonable!"
And when the ball was hit, Wu He didn't care about the players on the field at all, turned his head, looked at the Pacers' bench, and looked at the people who were also watching him, Wu He raised his mouth.
