It can be seen that Duncan's gradual aging has a great impact on the Spurs, this season with basically no change in the lineup, the Spurs have won 9 games less than the same period last season, and as the season slowly progresses, this number is estimated to slowly increase, and although Leonard has gradually grown, the deterrent effect brought by Duncan sitting on the inside line is still Leonard has no way to have.

In the next few rounds, the Spurs are still looking for opportunities on the outside, while the Pacers are beginning to use their lively Hibbert on the inside to start a more threatening interior offense, although Duncan can still play a certain role on the inside, but his defensive pace has been a little unable to keep up, and his physical strength is not enough to continue to support more than 30 minutes of high-intensity confrontation, so although his statistics have not declined significantly, his role on the court has declined.

Off-court Zhuge Vic obviously knew this, so in the first two minutes of the first quarter, he replaced Parker and Duncan with Dior and Ginobili. The Pacers, on the other hand, traded West and Shambaugh for C.J. Watson and Scola respectively. In the first round after the pause, Ginobili showed his excellent offensive sense, taking advantage of Ye Xuan's attention to the opportunity to block the player in front of Ye Xuan to directly accelerate past Ye Xuan, and under Hibbert's supplemental defense, he used the European step to dodge the opportunity to shoot and hit the ball.

I have to say that Ginobili is indeed one of the Spurs' Dinghai Needles, and it is estimated that only in the hands of the old man Zhuge Vic, he will be willing to play the sixth man, his combat effectiveness should be much better than the main players of most teams, if it is in some fish belly teams, Ginobili can be the boss.

And Ye Xuan was obviously very unconvinced after being attacked by Ginobili, and immediately wanted to get it back on the offensive end, but Leonard's defense caused him a lot of trouble, and after blocking and dismantling, Ginobili's defense was also very timely, and successfully interfered with Ye Xuan's shot, but Ye Xuan's hit rate was not covered, under Ginobili's interference, he made a dodge action in the air, and then still threw the ball steadily, under the blessing of the scope, This goal was still scored, but this also reminded Ye Xuan that the Spurs would not let Leonard defend him alone like they did in the last meeting, and they would also pack it when necessary.

This is a recognition of Ye Xuan's offensive ability, but it also makes Ye Xuan's physical energy expended more intensely when facing the Spurs. So when there was a minute and a half left in the first quarter of the game, Ye Xuan was replaced to rest, and along with Ye Xuan, Solomon Hill and Hibbert were replaced. - Smith leads the bench to the Spurs led by Ginobili.

Ginobili is worthy of being the old super sixth man, in the same matchup as a substitute, the Spurs have an absolute advantage, the Pacers are still that problem, after the lack of Ye Xuan, it has become a little less good at playing, in just 4 minutes, the Spurs will score 37:31, the Pacers were originally 2 points ahead, and now they are 6 points behind.

Coach Frank had to replace Ye Xuan again, and the Spurs also used this opportunity to replace Duncan, and the personnel on the opposite court are really a group of old ghosts, except for Leonard, who is only 24 years old, 39-year-old Duncan, 38-year-old Ginobili, 35-year-old Matt Bonner, 33-year-old Parker, this is simply the oldest lineup in the league.

Originally, Ye Xuan saw the opponent's lineup, and was ready to play a quick attack to consume the opponent's physical strength, but the Spurs' ability to master the rhythm is very good, and they will not be easily led astray by the opponent, and Ye Xuan did not expect that the opponent, the elderly travel team that does not look very good, actually broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.

First, Duncan singled out Masimmi with the ball on the inside, and his excellent footwork shook Masimmi dizzy, and then Bonner, who was already slow, actually threw off Scola in the outside run, although Scola moved very slowly, but Bun Cornerstone used the running position to get rid of the defenders, and then received the ball and shot three points, which still made Ye Xuan feel a little incredible.

And although Parker did not score in the offense under Ye Xuan's defense, he was able to pass some accurate passes when attacking, helping Ginobili or Leonard to easily catch the ball and complete the offense when he ran inside without the ball. Therefore, in the first few minutes after Ye Xuan came on the court, the Pacers not only failed to recover the 6-point difference, but also fell behind by as many as 12 points because of the excellent performance of these old guys. Fortunately, the physical problem still effectively curbed this group of immortal veterans, so that the Pacers could slowly recover the score difference step by step in the future.

However, the Pacers still trailed the Spurs by 5 points as the game was about to finish the entire second quarter. That's good news for the Spurs. Because they successfully consumed a lot of Ye Xuan's physical strength in the second quarter of the game, and they still had an advantage on the court, and the most important thing is that their old men also seemed to inspire the fighting spirit of other young people, so after Bonner and Duncan were replaced, Split and Danny Green played a lot better than in the first quarter.

At the end of the first half of the game, the Pacers trailed the Spurs at home by 5 points due to the poor performance of the benches, Ye Xuan played a full 20 minutes in the first half, which is of course not comparable to the previous game against the Cavaliers, because Ye Xuan had two bottles of physical recovery potions to base himself in that game, so he was full of confidence, but now he can't use any medicine, so every minute of rest time is very precious for Ye Xuan.

After returning to the locker room, Ye Xuan also immediately lay on his physiotherapy chair and asked the team doctor to massage him, while receiving the massage, he listened to Coach Frank's tactics for the second half, and now only Ye Xuan has this kind of treatment in the whole team, of course, there was a pickled pepper in the past to enjoy this treatment.
