At the end of the game, for the first time in the Pacers' season, the best player was not Ye Xuan in the case of winning, Hibbert won the best player of the game with his performance of scoring 19 points and 11 boards in 19 minutes, and the focus of the media suddenly focused on Hibbert, and Hibbert was touted.

I think it is, after all, this is the United States, Ye Xuan a Chinese flaunting his might on his own turf, of course the Americans are unhappy, now Ye Xuan's performance is finally not as good as the performance of American players, naturally it is necessary to tout, and then the reason why the Pacers can win can be attributed to Hibbert's excellent performance, isn't it beautiful.

However, Ye Xuan didn't care about these details, but felt that if Hibbert could perform like this in future games, then he would be able to make it much easier, and his strategy was successful, which was also a good thing for Ye Xuan. After all, judging from the reaction of the management, his team status should be undoubted now, even if Hibbert is awesome, he is almost 30 years old, and he has no potential to develop, and he has unlimited possibilities, so no matter how much Hibbert grows, his status will not be higher than himself, since he can't pose any threat to himself, then what's wrong with letting him help him work.

After hammering over the Pistons, the Pacers' record has come to 30 wins, and the Pacers, who won 30 games shortly after the halfway point of the game, are now ranked seventh in the league, the Hawks, who are first in the East, needless to say, and the Cavaliers, who are second in the East, have now won one more game than the Pacers. In addition to the top two in the East, only the top four in the West have a better record than the Pacers, and the top four in the West are the Warriors, Rockets, Clippers and Grizzlies. Surprisingly, last year's runner-up Spurs did not have a good record this year, only finishing fifth in the West.

However, the opponents the Pacers will face next will be absolutely formidable for them, as they will face the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately after a day of rest. Compared with the last encounter, the Cavaliers relied on their advantage of having more offensive points and slowly dragged the Pacers to death, so this time Ye Xuan also said that all kinds of physical potions were ready, ready to fight with the Cavaliers, after all, the opponent can be regarded as the biggest enemy of his team this season.

At 8 p.m. on February 7, the game between the Pacers and the Cavaliers started on time at the Conseco Arena, Hibbert beat Tristan Thompson in the jump ball and slapped the ball into Ye Xuan's hands. Ye Xuan's current physical fitness and other aspects are very different from the last time, so in the face of George Hill's defense, he still easily crushed it with his body and speed, and after taking two steps inward, Ye Xuan sent the ball to Hibbert's hand with a ground pass, Hibbert received the ball and shook Thompson in front of him with a feint, and then easily turned around and hit the ball.

It can be seen that after the excellent performance in the last game, Hibbert's self-confidence has also come back, and he dares to make moves after receiving the ball on the inside, instead of being like those previous games, the first reaction to receiving the ball is to find Ye Xuan's position, ready to pass back at any time, there is no domineering that a seven-foot strong man should have.

However, although the Pacers' offense is playing well, they still don't have a good way to take the Cavaliers with the Big Three on the defensive end. Hill controlled the ball over half the court, and then passed the ball to Owen, Owen looked very excited in the face of Ye Xuan's defense, and continued to dribble under the crotch, just when Ye Xuan thought that Owen was ready to come by himself, he unexpectedly passed the ball to James who cut into the inside line, and the little emperor was about to pull up and dunk after receiving the ball, Hibbert immediately jumped up to interfere with the opponent, but unfortunately in the end, although James did not directly burst the dunk, but also let him send the ball to Thompson behind Hibbert.

In the next few rounds, both teams' offense played very well, and the Pacers developed Hibbert, a new offensive point, which made it difficult for the Cavaliers to continue to effectively pack Ye Xuan, and today the Pacers' outside line was also relatively powerful, Solomon Hill and Shambaugh both shot a three-pointer, making the opponent pay a heavy price when trapping Ye Xuan, and also making the opponent's defense a little timid.

The first quarter of the game went very smoothly, and I don't know if the Cavaliers were playing like the previous game, wanting to slowly consume Ye Xuan's physical strength, in short, the Pacers unexpectedly led the Cavaliers by as much as 7 points at the end of the first quarter. Ye Xuan contributed 9 points and 4 assists on the offensive end in this quarter of the game, while Hibbert also scored 6 points and 5 rebounds inside, and the two worked together to support the situation of this game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ye Xuan was replaced to rest, and the opponent's benches began a crazy journey of chasing points under the leadership of George Hill, and in just two minutes, the Pacers' 7-point lead was eroded to only 2 points.

After Ye Xuan returned to the court, he quickly stabilized the situation, although the opponent quickly replaced James, but their plan to play a wheel war was still in vain, because James's defense seemed to have a little problem today, and he was carrying two fouls in the first quarter of the game, but less than a minute after the second quarter of the game, he was immediately fouled by Ye Xuan, and James, who was in deep trouble with fouls, played on the court for two more minutes, but because of the three fouls on his back, So I didn't dare to make any moves on the defensive end, and I could only be replaced to rest in the end.

As a result, Love and Irving, who had played less time than last season, had to play on the court for a while longer, and George Hill, who was supposed to be replaced soon, had to continue to hold on the court for a while longer.
