It's a pity that Starkey and others can play back and forth when facing the opponent's bench lineup, but after the lack of Ye Xuan, they have a bit of a difficult time when facing the Bulls led by Jimmy Butler and Noah, and Smith is very uncomfortable defended by Jimmy Butler, so he can't play the level of the first half on the offensive end.

On the other side, the Pacers' substitute interior Scola also looked a little difficult when facing the opponent's interior line where the best defensive player was sitting, so in the three minutes that Ye Xuan was replaced, the Pacers' offense came to a standstill in an instant, and in the full 3 minutes of the game, the Pacers only scored two goals, and the score was instantly tied by the opponent, 79:79, the two teams played a tie in the first three quarters, and everything depends on the play of the last quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers still didn't let Ye Xuan play, thinking that they wanted Ye Xuan to save some physical strength so that he could exert his strength at the last moment, but unfortunately the Pacers were really a little weak in this situation, and after leaving Ye Xuan's organization and sharp breakthrough, the Pacers' offense was really difficult, but fortunately, the opponent also replaced their main force to rest, so the battle between the two teams of substitutes The Pacers' side was not particularly at a loss.

Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Smith made a layup and drew a foul on the opponent to replace Ye Xuan, at which time the Pacers trailed the opponent by two points, and Smith had two free throws. After Ye Xuan and Hibbert were replaced, Smith also made both free throws at the free throw line, and the two teams returned to the same running line.

At this time, the Bulls have not replaced their main force, Noah is still playing with Mirotizi and Brooks and others on the court, after Ye Xuan came on the court, Brooks suddenly had no sound, and he was so guarded by Ye Xuan that he couldn't get the space to shoot at all, and his speed and body were not as good as Ye Xuan's, so it could be said that he fell into a disadvantage in an all-round way. So after Brooks was suddenly defended by Ye Xuan, he immediately chose to pass the ball to Mirotizi next to him.

Mirotizi immediately wanted to break through to the inside line to make a kill, but Masimi immediately made up for it, Mirotiqi saw that there was no chance, so he had to take two steps back, and then slowed down the rhythm of the attack, - Smith suddenly pounced, and Ye Xuan gave Mirotiqi a bag, Mirotiqi was in a hurry, jumped up and wanted to pass the ball out, but was directly hit by Ye Xuan's fast hand.

After the ball was dropped, Ye Xuan immediately started, hurried two steps to catch up with the basketball, and then controlled the ball and strode towards the opponent's half, Brooks immediately caught up, but unfortunately although he was fast, his body was a little too thin, after catching up with Ye Xuan, as soon as the two made contact, they were hit by Ye Xuan. Although Ye Xuan's speed slowed down after the physical confrontation, he immediately relieved himself, and then accelerated two steps directly into the opponent's three-point line, only to see Ye Xuan grab the basketball, and after two big steps, he flew up directly and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

After scoring this fast break, the Pacers regained the lead, and Ye Xuan was ready to take advantage of the opponent's failure to replace the main players to completely open up the difference, but Tom Thibodeau immediately called a timeout, and then replaced Gasol, Hinrich and Jimmy Butler.

After the timeout, the two teams returned to basically the same lineup as they did at the beginning of the game, but this time Coach Frank did not continue to put O'Neal Jr. on the court, but replaced Scola as the power forward. I hope Scola can contain Gasol, after all, O'Neal Jr. found that his footwork was a little too slow after the first quarter of the game, and he couldn't prevent Gasol, who was relatively flexible.

It's a pity that even if Scola won the Most Valuable Player award on the international stage, he still suffered a lot against Gasol, let alone under the rules of the NBA. After the substitution on the Bulls' side, the whole state is different, Hinrich controlled the ball to the front court, and immediately passed the ball to Gasol on the inside, Gasol used his height advantage to want to single Scola, Solomon Hill's side had to help defend in the penalty area, but Gasol's passing ability was not covered, and immediately divided the ball, Jimmy Butler took the ball directly after receiving the ball, although his three-point shooting rate was actually very touching, but the three points that were let go were still scored.

Ye Xuan's side also wanted to return the opponent immediately, but as soon as he received the ball in the backcourt, Butler immediately posted it, as if he wanted to use the full-court pressure to consume Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan controlled the basketball unhurriedly and slowly walked to the frontcourt. Butler, on the other hand, kept looking for Ye Xuan for physical contact, hoping to interfere with his dribbling, but fortunately, Ye Xuan's ball control ability has made great progress and brought the ball to the front court steadily.

Then Ye Xuan's side passed the ball to Solomon Hill, wanting to reorganize the attack again, who knew that Hill's side and Ye Xuan's thinking were completely different, he wanted to cut directly inward to find an opportunity, but when Ye Xuan passed the ball, Hill's side just started to run back and rushed inward, and the ball became Ye Xuan's mistake.

Ye Xuan shook his head in annoyance, and retreated to his own half, he didn't expect that after this ball, his team would suddenly begin to collapse, first the defensive end was hit by Gasol again for a two-pointer, and then Ye Xuan's breakthrough ball was given to Shambaugh, but Shambaugh's shot was deflected out of the basket under Dunleavy's interference.

The opponent seized the opportunity to push a fast attack, although he did not score directly, but it also caused a foul by Ye Xuan, who quickly returned to the defense, although Butler was very weak in two free throws and one shot, only scored one point, but once and again, the Pacers immediately fell behind by four points, and the plot after that was even simpler, the two consecutive attacks on the Pacers' side were Ye Xuan was trapped, and then forced to divide the ball, but his teammates' shots failed to hit the ball and gave the ball away. When there were 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, the sudden collapse on the Pacers' side instantly stretched the difference between the two teams to 8 points, although Ye Xuan still wanted to fight back after that, but unfortunately his teammates suddenly lost their touch, and Ye Xuan's counterattack could only be in vain.
