Paul George has not given up yet, and he is still trying hard to drag the walkers forward like a superstar.

Facing Iguodala's defense, George made several tentative steps, which he deliberately practiced with Link this summer.

But George's progress was far less than Link's speed. George did a pretty good job, but as soon as he moved the ball, George "exposed".

Like Durant, a high forward who is good at shooting, George's biggest problem now is that his dribbling skills are not mature enough. After all, it is indeed not easy to get a big man who is 2.06 meters tall to practice good luck.

So, after George tried to dribble, he didn't go far, and Iguodala made a move to disrupt George's dribble rhythm.

Although George did not concede the ball, he was forced to stop directly. Because he had to hold the basketball with both hands to protect the ball, he was forced to stay where he was.

George started looking for someone to pass the ball, but the Grizzlies' tight defense would not allow George to easily throw this "hot potato".

Everyone's passing route was cut off, and George was helplessly spinning around in place under Iguodala's pressure. Seeing that the 24-second attack time was about to end, the local Indianapolis commentator shook his head.

"The Grizzlies' defense is perhaps the best in the league this year, no doubt about it!"

Amid the referee's whistle, the Pacers' offense ended in failure again. George accidentally walked while being pressed by Iguodala against defense, which made George very frustrated.

He tried hard to carry the team and break out of the siege, but he was helpless and his ability was not that strong...

At this time, Link made a mid-range shot under the defense of "Nine-finger dunk king" Gerald Green, and scored his 25th point of the game. The Indiana Pacers also ended with 58 seconds left in the third quarter, 22 points behind the Grizzlies.

After this goal, Pacers coach Frank Vogel called a timeout. Stevens slapped all the players who left the court and ordered all the substitutes to take off their training suits.

The lead in 22 points in the third quarter, and the referee's whistle just now seemed to be a signal that the Grizzlies were clocking in and getting off work in the third quarter.

"The game still has a whole quarter, but it can basically be declared over. Link's shot on Gerald Green's head turned the difference into 22 points. We all know that the Grizzlies' defense is indestructible, while the Pacers' offense is unsatisfactory. Therefore, the 22-point gap is almost insurmountable for the Pacers."

"Before the game started, Stephenson said he would let Link burn in the Bankers' Life Arena... Now it seems that Link did burn. But because the temperature is too high, Stephenson was burned to a slag first. His performance in the second quarter was simply a disaster, and there was no doubt that he accelerated the Pacers' death."

Accompanied by the commentator's commentary, the live camera gave Stephenson a close-up. Stephenson's eyes were dull and he didn't know where he was looking. This was in sharp contrast to his bright eyes yesterday.

Although he didn't know what Stephenson was thinking, his face was filled with depression.

This unruly Indiana eagle was also tamed into a pet today.

In the fourth quarter, it seemed to be completely garbage time to the Grizzlies. But in the Pacers, everything seemed to have a turnaround.

Unfortunately, Tony Allen used his strong defense to make George unable to start a big kill in the fourth quarter. And the "drawing hand" Nick Young shot how he shot today, allowing the Pacers to completely give up resistance 3 minutes before the end of the game!

118 to 96, the Pacers finally lost 22 points at home!

At the end of the game, Paul George walked towards Link dejectedly. The rising star wearing the No. 24 jersey actually performed very well today. He scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, and also sent 2 steals and 1 block. He performed very well.

Unfortunately, Link got better data than him in three quarters. 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Just as Link thought in his heart, George is still a weakened version of himself now.

Under the continuous destruction of Iguodala and Tony Allen, George failed to help the Pacers turn the tables on his own.

"It seems that the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger, Link." George smiled bitterly, and then hugged Link.

Three years ago, he was the top player at Fresno University, while Link was a blue-collar senior. Three years ago, he was selected in the lottery show, but Link was expected to lose.

But now, when Link has become a well-deserved All-Star player, George is still struggling. This huge gap hurts George very much.

"Hey, as long as you don't give up, it's not a failure. This is what you told me when I was out of the draft. Could it be that you forgot yourself?" Link patted George on the back. "You have made great progress this summer. Next summer, we will train together. I know you can get better, and your team knows it. But if you give up early, everything will be gone."

George curled up the corner of his mouth slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yes, I'll train with you this summer. You guys played well today... I hope we can cause you some trouble when we meet again."

"Okay, don't be depressed. Your idol is Kobe, but Kobe's data in third grade are not much better than you. Clean up and I'll get together tonight."

After chatting with Link for a few words, George then raised his chest again.

What skills does George have now? He can calculate it with just one finger.

If you run without the ball, you will catch the ball or cut the ball, find the pick-and-roll, and occasionally when the defense counterattack is nowhere to be seen, you will give a 36-flat-frame dunk to show off your outstanding physical talent.

To put it bluntly, George has no ability to hold the ball. Although he is 2.06 meters tall, his back-playing skills are not outstanding.

In the future, George will have a lot of room for improvement. He is actually very strong, but Link's own progress speed is a bit abnormal...

After seeing George off, Link was immediately surrounded by reporters. Before the reporters could speak, Link could guess what questions they would ask.

"Today, I know who Lance Stephenson is. But he doesn't seem to be as powerful as you promote." Link took the initiative to attack and took the lead in "quizing answers", which made the reporters stunned.

While the reporters were stunned, Link flashed out of the "encircle".

On the other hand, Stephenson was not so lucky.

"Repent? I don't regret what I said. Today is just an accident, and there will be accidents in every game." Stephenson's answer to the question "Do you regret provoking Link?" is still very tough.

"Even if your funny mistakes can be cut into highlights today, don't you regret it?"

Finson: "..."

"You were completely blocked by Link in the second and third quarters. Do you not regret it even so?"

Finson: "..."

"Even if you.........eh?"

Before the reporters could finish their questions, Stephenson was pulled away by Larry Bird. I believe that tonight, Stephenson should rack his brains to think about how to write a guarantee letter titled "I will never lose my calmness again."

After the competition that night, Link gathered with his old friends in George's second-floor villa.
