On February 26, Beijing time, in a game that has ended today, the Oklahoma Thunder narrowly beat the Indiana Pacers 129-125.
In this game, Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon made his comeback debut, shooting 6-of-14 from the field and scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. As the team's main defender, Brogdon has been plagued by injuries this season, and the last time he played for the team was in a jan. 20 game against Los Angeles.
During this period, the team sent the main interior di Sabonis Jr., and brought in a young defender from the Kings, Teres Halliburton. After today's game, Brogdon also spoke about the new teammate in a media interview. He said Halliburton worked both ends of the floor and that he enjoyed playing with him.
In fact, after the Pacers' deal, the most affected person within the team may be Brogdon. Before Halliburton came, he was the absolute outside core of the team, and the tactics were all played around his cooperation with the inside players. So this season, even if his offensive efficiency is not high, he can still get the quasi-All-Star data of averaging 18.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.
Now the team is not only Halliburton, but also Hield. Harry Burton is younger and has obvious talent conditions, and the future is also very much expected by fans and management. After coming to the Pacers, Hield showed great offensive ability and is now the team's top scorer. What kind of role and role Brogdon plays in the team after his comeback needs to be considered by him and the team.
