9-for-9 at halftime + 11-for-12 in 23 minutes: Marcelin scored 31 points and sparked heated discussion. American reporters said starting is the key to the outbreak.

On October 14, in the NBA preseason, the Pacers defeated the Spurs 108-124. In this game, the Spurs' Castle and Vassell returned. The Pacers also used their regular starters for the new season. The two teams were relatively close in the first three quarters. In the final quarter, the Pacers were completely inferior to the Spurs in the third lineup of the two teams.

Marcelin, who started at No. 2 position, scored 14 points and 1 rebound in the first 9 minutes of the game, scoring 4 of 4, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws.

In the second quarter, he made 5 of 5 + 1 of 1 three-pointer in 8 minutes. In the first 18 minutes, he made 9 of 9, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 27 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 steal. His shooting percentage was 100%, and his true shooting percentage was as high as 120.5%.

He only played less than 5 minutes in the third quarter, and he missed his first shot in this quarter (2 of 3). In 23 minutes of the game, he made 11 of 12, 4 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal. His shooting percentage was 91.7%, his three-point shooting percentage was 100%, his free throw percentage was 100%, and his true shooting percentage was 109.2%.

Everyone knows how much discussion Marcelin's game caused across the United States when you open

The Pacers also posted Marcelin's game data and praised him. You must know that in the previous two preseason games, he scored 8 points in 14 minutes and 16 points in 16 minutes, but he has started all of them. He only started 49 games last season (a total of 72 regular season games). He will lock the starting seat in the new season because Nembhard will play the No. 1 position.

NBA reporter Evan Stirry said that Marcelin's starting position is the key to his outbreak, and he can be expected to perform brilliantly in the 25-26 season. (Last season Marcelin averaged 16.1+5.3+1.9+0.7+0.3 per game)
