The Pacers finally returned to Indiana again after 5 consecutive away games, this time the difficult five consecutive away Pacers 3-2, the results can only be regarded as average, and in this consecutive road trip, the Pacers' interior has been criticized by many people, making the Pacers' power ranking drop from 7th in the league to 11th in the league this week, although in terms of results, they are still ranked third in the East, but the league's ' The pundits apparently prefer that the Pacers' first half of the season was short-lived, and now they're starting to go downhill.

And the fact is indeed as those experts expected, the Pacers lost to the Toronto Raptors who came to challenge in the first game after returning to their home court, not because the strength of the Pacers really declined, but because the opponent faced by the Pacers broke out again in this game, the small steel cannon Lowry suddenly broke out in the face of Ye Xuan's defense, and scored 23 points and 8 assists with sudden shots, the efficiency is already very good compared to other guards opposite Ye Xuan, and he is not the best in the Raptors. DeRozan also went crazy in this game, scoring a game-high 37 points plus 4 assists and 5 rebounds to help the Raptors win a tough victory on the road.

And in addition to the Raptors' backcourt double star, Valansiunas also played very well in this game, Hibbert seems to be trying to prove that he is really so watery, this game was blown up again, Valanshuinas was on the inside of the Pacers, easily scored 19 points and 13 rebounds double-double data, the Pacers' top management is already a little desperate, Hibbert's 1600 contract can be regarded as a smashing hand.

And the biggest reason for the Pacers' loss, in addition to Hibbert, is also the in-condition Shambaugh, Shambaugh's performance in defending DeRozan is very bad, basically nothing, if he was not later arranged to switch defenses with Solomon Hill, DeRozan will not score 50 points in this game. And the most embarrassing thing is Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan wanted to brush up on his assist data at the beginning of this game, so he didn't put too much energy into the offensive end, basically focusing on passing, so he brushed 14 assists in this game, which can be regarded as consolidating his second position in the assist list.

But his scoring was not satisfactory, Ye Xuan, who played 37 minutes in the game, only scored 27 points in this game, and the two shots in the last minute and a half were also the key reason why the Pacers lost the game, so the media who fell into the leaf suddenly drilled out again.

Fortunately, after this game, the Pacers immediately ushered in two rookie opponents, the New York Knicks and the Sacramento Kings. The two big victories can be regarded as helping Ye Xuan save a little face.

Originally, the Knicks were going to continue to impact the playoffs this season, but Anthony was forced to take a break for 5-8 games due to muscle damage not long ago, which caused the Knicks, who were already a little lacking in combat effectiveness, to become even more difficult, and the 5 consecutive losses basically cut off their hope of hitting the playoffs.

After winning these two teams, the Pacers can be regarded as ending their entire schedule in January, and at this time, the award of the best of the month has also come out, Ye Xuan won the best of the month twice in a row this season, and even failed to run the village, because the Pacers entered January, and the record in the second half of the month was indeed a little weak, and this time the best of the month in the East was also very strange, and it was not awarded to individuals, but to the entire Hawks team, because they were in the whole month of January. Achieved an undefeated record of 15 wins and 0 losses, which is very amazing. And the Western Conference Player of the Month is given to James Harden, who is very bright most of the time, although he occasionally makes stupid mistakes.

After the game against the Kings, the Pacers also ushered in a wave of four-day vacations, although there were some team practices in between, but in general it was a good buffer for the Pacers, after all, they played the most games in the first three months. These four days of rest should be a good relief for them to relieve their mental and physical stress.

However, for Ye Xuan, it was not easy for him in the past four days, because in addition to the team's training, he also needed to participate in two business activities, and Valentine's Day was coming soon, Ye Xuan, who had little experience before, was ready to have a good romance with his girlfriend on Valentine's Day this year, all of which naturally could not be known to Shen Wei in advance, so he was naturally careful when acting in secret.

However, Ye Xuan's Valentine's Day plan has not yet been completed, and there is good news from the league, Ye Xuan successfully became this year's vote king with 1.27 million votes in this year's All-Star Game voting, of course, this has something to do with Ye Xuan being a Chinese, but Ye Xuan's performance this year is indeed worthy of the support and encouragement of these fans. You must know that Ye Xuan's votes exceeded the 220,000 votes of James, who ranked second, which was almost a crushing lead.

After four days of rest, the players of the Pacers have more or less adjusted their condition, which should be a lot better than when they fought in the previous row, but in the first game after the break, they will face the Pistons who have just completed a big trade and are running in the lineup at this time.

Since the Pistons now have Reggie Jackson, a very good guard, to help organize the offense, their interior line has also been slowly released, Andre Drummond's average points per game in the last four games has increased by 2.1 points, and Greg Monroe's points per game have also increased slightly.

This is still the chemistry when the trade has just been completed and the team is still running in, if they are basically finished, then the Pistons will be able to rise again. On February 5th, the Pacers finally welcomed their first opponent in February on their home court, and I don't know if Hibbert and West can withstand the pressure on the inside and prevent Zhuang Shen and Monroe in this game, and whether Ye Xuan on the outside can effectively contain Reggie Jackson is also the key to this game.
