Before the game, at Xu Xuan's suggestion, the Pacers had thought about the tactics of this game in advance.

Xu Xuan also gave this tactic a very vivid name: Singles Battle!

Xu Xuan VS James Harden.

Pickled pepper vs James Harden.

James Harden vs Pacers team!

How, feel the great enthusiasm that comes from our Indiana tribe?

Is it comfortable for so many people to serve you alone?

Isn't it to thank us!

James Harden: "......"

Thank you so much!

Xu Xuan figured it out, Mosaic is a team that is strong on the outside, and all their backbones are supported by Harden alone, as long as Harden is smoothed, they will definitely lose!

And it's not easy to grind Harden, this guy looks like a fat man, but in fact he can't be strong, among the guard players, few players can have his physical fitness.

But today, he met an opponent.

Xu Xuan took the lead!

He's the main force of the Pacers grinding ha.

With Wei Shao's physical talent in his body, Xu Xuan doesn't care how big someone's ass is or how big his belly is.

"The Pacers seem to have given up on their usual routine, but if you blindly play alone, Houston prefers that rhythm, right?" Kenny Smith explained that the score is now 21-16 and the Mosaic leads by five points.

"That's true, but ......," Barkley smiled, "how long can James Harden last?" ”

Kenny Smith was stunned.

It's true that the Pacers are playing what they're not good at.

But how long can James Harden last?

With five minutes left in the first half, the Houston Mosaics voluntarily called a timeout, by which time James Harden was already gasping for air.

Every round his offense will encounter one-on-one close interference from the opponent, the Pacers resolutely do not make up the defense, James Harden has scored a full 17 points, which is higher than the Pacers' entire team score, but the Pacers don't even have a defense!

It's fine if it's just offense.

But in every round of the competition, the Pacers will desperately find a one-on-one match with James Harden.

I'm so tired!

It's so tiring to fight like this!

Harden had never been so tired, and the only time he was tired was the night he had a good time with Kardashian.

He didn't even sleep that night, and today, when the game had just begun, he remembered what it was like.

Fack!

Do these guys want to exhaust me to death and inherit my Huabei?

Harden looked at Xu Xuan indignantly, and he dared to swear that the Pacers' sudden change of tactics definitely owed the credit of this hanger.

However, he is very tired now, and he doesn't even have the heart of revenge, he has to give it his all, and the rare rest time must be used to recover his physical strength.

He knew in his heart that no, this is not the end, this is just the beginning!

Sure enough, the timeout came back and the game continued.

The Pacers' offense, when he saw the rest coming towards him again, James Harden's heart was desperate.

Do you like one-on-one so much?

It's too much of a bully! You're looking for one-on-one with others, too!

Why are they all hitting me!

Listening to the clicking sound from those media cameras on the sidelines, someone's heart also clicked as if it had been torn apart.

He has a high appearance rate today, and he doesn't even have to do it deliberately, and the man named Dwight Howard has been ignored.

But he didn't want that appearance.

He's like a lone warrior, alone against the Pacers' two aces.

on the field.

Xu Xuan put the ball after a probe step, dribbled with his right hand and pulled it to his left hand, and the moment his body tilted to the left, Xu Xuan pulled the basketball back to his right hand again, and then dribbled under his crotch back to his left hand......

Feints followed by feints –

James Harden gritted his teeth, and he hasn't given up yet.

Harden at this time is not the Harden of the Thunder period.

Harden had a small heart during the Thunder period, and his biggest dream at that time was to be a "best sixth man".

But now, after so many trials, someone has a big heart.

The Pacers' tactics made him very uncomfortable, but before he fell, no matter how successful the tactics were, they still couldn't decide the winner!

Frontcourt, the last attack of the first quarter!

It is still Xu Xuan's main offense, and Harden's main defense.

Harden's face was covered with sweat, but he didn't even have time to wipe it off!

The next second-

Xu Xuan started suddenly!

Wear a flower butterfly step!

Platinum Answer Talent –

With a whoosh, without even seeing a shadow, Xu Xuan rushed past Harden.

Harden reacted quickly, and now he no longer relied only on his eyes to defend, he quickly followed, trying to interfere with Xu Xuan's offense in the back.

The physical strength of the two people at this moment is directly full, this is another game!

Harden made it!

He defended the ball.

But he also failed.

His energy is being drained rapidly!

At the end of the first quarter, 29-22, Mosaic extended the advantage of the score to 7 points!

The difference of 7 points in a single quarter is already a lot of money.

But Harden couldn't be happier.

He was very tired, and his feet were sore at this time.

He needed to rest in the second quarter, but he rested, and the Mosaic team had no core, and it was a sad thing that he looked in Howard's direction, and an inexplicable taste flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, Howard was welcoming when he first arrived, but as time went on, he became more and more unhappy with this man.

At that time, the thought in his heart was that he couldn't score, and he still wanted the ball, if all these balls were given to me, wouldn't he be invincible?

But now the ball is given to him, but he is not invincible......

His stats are good, but the team's record is not good, and he is still working for a playoff spot.

Thinking of this, Harden's eyes became firm again.

He doesn't regret it, if he had to pick again, he'd do it again, he needs the ball, and without the ball, he can't play what he wants, so, no matter what the cost, he's James Harden, and then!

In the second section, Xu Xuan looked at someone standing in front of him in surprise.

He didn't expect that in the second quarter, he would dare not rest.

Yes, yes, this stubbornness is a bit interesting.

It seems that after "quitting" Kardashian recently, Ha someone is still growing up a little.

But this ...... The momentum is out, and it can be done...... The mantis arm is a car!

Harden's physical fitness is here, even if he insists, it is impossible to stick to the whole game like Xu Xuan.

He's going to get tired, and when he can't hold on, that's when the Pacers finish them!

Xu Xuan is not in a hurry!

He has time, he has physical!

It's up to you how long you can last!

The first half was over.

James Harden scored 26 points in the first half!

In the eyes of the fans, it was clearly a game of James Harden's personal heroism.

Even Pacers fans are starting to worry, we won't really be blown up by the "state explosion" Harden, right?

But only Xu Xuan knew that this was an illusion.

In the first half, Xu Xuan and Pickled Pepper both rested for 5 minutes each, but what about Harden?

Harden also had a 5-minute break, but!

His 5 minutes are different from Xu Xuan and Pickled Pepper's 5 minutes!

Just look at his sweaty face and know that James Harden is almost at the limit.

After halftime, the Pacers continued to happily one-on-one with Harden.

The only difference is that the Pacers picked up the pace of the game.

If there is a transition attack, they will run and fly.

Soon, James Harden's offensive success rate began to drop dramatically.

In Harden's repeated hits, it was the Pacers' blocking and dismantling coordination and Xu Xuan's ghostly ghostly assist.

The game turned around in an instant!

At this point, even the layman knows what the walker is going to do.

James Harden has reached his limit and has to go down to rest.

But once James Harden goes down to rest, it's too late for the Mosaics to adjust their offensive thinking.

Xu Xuan dribbled into the restricted area behind the outside, the Mosaic team's inside line had no choice but to make up for the defense, Xu Xuan threw the basketball "irresponsibly" into the air, and McGee easily scored a dunk in the air!

Pickled pepper took the ball in a high position, Mosaic's defense line is very tight, but the tighter it is, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Xu Xuan holding it down is a violent button!

Without Harden's mosaic, he can't stop the combined attack of Xu Xuan and Pickled Pepper!

"The Pacers' tactics from the start were simple, which was to keep attributing James Harden, and obviously their tactics and plans worked." Kenny Smith explained.

This tactic is really a scoundrel!

Because the Mosaic team can't afford not to take it.

James Harden is definitely going to play against the Pacers' one-on-one defense, as he has a high singles success rate.

Because American basketball has a basic theory, that is, if our scorer can complete the offense with a shooting rate of more than 5 percent, then resolutely give him the ball and let him attack.

Besides, that's Harden!

Who has Harden been afraid of singles?

......

Harden is exhausted today.

I had a 5-minute break in the first half, but now I'm more tired than I played a whole game.

It takes a lot of energy on the offensive end and it takes a lot of energy on the defensive end.

He has to consume twice as much physical energy alone, how can this be consumed.

In fact, this is a problem that single-core teams have to face.

If a single-core team wants to play, you must have a tough defense to help you share the pressure, don't count on you alone, you have to attack and defend, how to win the game?

With just over four minutes left in the game, the head coach of the Mosaic team called a timeout.

James Harden lay panting on the floor in front of the bench.

Harden didn't want to move anymore.

Originally, I wanted to go on a date with Khloe, who I hadn't seen for a long time, after this game, but now Harden really just wants to rest.

Too much to bully Harden.

Truth be told, it's impossible for a basketball player to not want to win on the court.

He also wants to go further this season, he wants to make the playoffs, he wants to hit the Western Conference championship, he wants to hit the championship!

He didn't want to fall here.

Talking about paddling and saving energy to go on a date after a game is purely Harden's rhetoric.

Harden really wants to win.

But he couldn't!

The first half only rested for 5 minutes, and in the second half, he didn't rest for a minute from the beginning of the game to now, he was so tired, he was tired from standing and sitting now.

The whole team is fighting by him, and there are people who can help, but there are not many.

Moreover, the walker doesn't care about you and the others, just catch him and beat him up alone.

The baby's heart is bitter!

But the baby can't say it yet!

In the end, the Mosaics team still failed to turn the tables.

The Pacers completed the season sweep with a 101-89, 12-point deficit at home over the Houston Mosaics.

After the game, Harden was sad, losing like this, and Mosaic's hopes of making the playoffs were one less point.

It's hard for them, and it's even harder.

However, seeing them so difficult, Xu Xuan was comfortable.

To be honest, there isn't much he can do, he can make it a little more difficult for them, and the whole person is not happy.

Houston, my lifelong enemy!

How can a season sweep be enough, next season continues, I will be very "happy" and "happy" to meet you.

......

After playing Mosaic, the Pacers' record is 47-26.

With nine games left below, Frank Vogel is already preparing for the playoffs with the standings largely stable.

Well, this is not a flag, the Pacers have basically locked up the third place in the East, only it is possible to move forward, and it is possible to fall, because the Hawks, Heat and other teams are really too bloody, unlike the Pacers' relaxed atmosphere, they are a life-and-death battle every game, so it looks very anxious.

......

The last two games in March, first against the Bulls, then against the Magic.

It's all Eastern teams.

At this time, the players prefer to play in their own half, or play a few more games at home, after all, it is going to be a playoffs, and running back and forth will consume physical strength.

Unlike the Magic, the Bulls still have a playoff chance of making the playoffs this season.

They are now in the fourth tier of the East, not far from the Hawks, Heat, Celtics and Hornets in front of them, and are on the same level as the Detroit Pistons, and the two teams are each other's biggest rivals.

The game against the Bulls was fierce.

However, after the margin was stretched beyond 8 points, Frank withdrew the main force in the middle of the fourth quarter after careful consideration, replaced it with a substitute, and announced that he would abandon the game.

There's no need to fight with them at this point.

Since you want to win so much, then you should win, and avoiding injury is the most important thing now!

Last time, Xu Xuan's inadvertent injury had already made old Frank mention his little heart, and he didn't want to take risks at this time, because once he was injured, he couldn't afford the consequences.

Lose the bull, lose the magic.

In two consecutive games, Xu Xuan's playing time was limited to less than 20 minutes, and the pickled pepper was even more excessive, within 15 minutes.

These two treasures have to be hidden, Frank's heart is not big, but he thinks that he can reach the division finals last season, and it will be okay to tie this season, right?

If you don't win the championship, it's not bad to win the runner-up.

Of course, things don't always go the way he thinks, Champion?

Who says you can't get it?!
