Chapter 191: It's about winning

Not to mention what the audience and reporters on the field thought of Ye Xuan's return as king, the game on the field was still very intense. After the Spurs were hit by Ye Xuan, who was re-introduced, they immediately organized a powerful counterattack.

Parker came to the front court with the ball and passed the ball to Ginobili, who faced the defense of Pickle Pepper and called Dio, who replaced Split's position, to help block and dismantle, and then after dodging Pickle Pepper's defense, he took a step back to the three-point line, raised his hand to shoot three points again, and hit the shot.

I have to say that Ginobili's performance today can be said to be the best of the Spurs, so far in the game, he has made 11 of 16 shots, including 5 of 7 3-pointers, and has scored 29 points, which is the highest score among all players in the room.

However, on the Pacers' side, Pickled Pepper was obviously very unconvinced, turned around, and immediately asked Ye Xuan for the ball, after Ye Xuan passed the ball to Pickled Pepper, he quickly attracted Leonard to the other side, so that Pickled Pepper could rest assured that he could play the opponent alone, Pickled Pepper was not ambiguous, and after two steps, he directly changed direction, and then he had to forcibly use his body and speed to break through Ginobili, the bald man's body is indeed a little thin for Pickled Pepper, and in the case of no help, one-on-one defense is indeed very difficult, In the end, I had to use a foul to stop Pickled Pepper's single.

Pickled pepper walked to the free throw line and steadily hit both free throws, at this time the difference between the two teams was still 6 points, and the remaining time of the game was only 6 minutes. The Spurs, of course, didn't want to lose this crucial game on their home turf, so they burst out of their energy.

After Parker received the serve in the backcourt, he ran all the way, came to the front court to face Ye Xuan's defense and directly changed two directions in a row, widening a little distance between him and Ye Xuan, and then suddenly took a step back to the three-point line, and a Buddha worship action successfully deceived Ye Xuan, and then lightly hit Ye Xuan, causing Ye Xuan's foul and getting three free throw opportunities.

Parker walked to the free throw line and steadily shot the first free throw, but the second free throw was missed, so Parker brewed for a while before making the third free throw, and then threw the ball out, and the third free throw was finally shot. The difference between the two teams has come to 4 points.

However, in retrospect, Pickled Pepper immediately forced a breakthrough through Ginobili again, and then distributed the ball to West, who was inside, helping the latter to shoot a mid-range jumper, and in the next two rounds, both teams' offenses failed to hit, so the point difference has not been narrowed, which is a good thing for the Pacers, after all, they are now in the lead, and as time goes on, it means that the opponent's chances of chasing points are getting smaller and smaller.

And the Spurs also began to panic a little at this time, it was not easy to catch up from 19 points behind, but now the opponent is gradually finding his own state, and the offense on his side has not made any progress, as time becomes less and less, his chances are running out, if he can't catch up with the difference in these minutes, he will swallow the bitter fruit of this defeat.

With only four minutes left in the game, the score of the two teams came to 99-94, and the Pacers still led by as many as five points, and the Pacers still had the ball. Duncan's second free throw of his own narrowed the gap to four points again.

The Pacers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then called Lance Stephenson to help block the pick-and-roll. Ye Xuan took the opportunity to break through to the opponent's interior with the ball, but Leonard's defense was indeed difficult to get rid of with a simple blocking, Ye Xuan only took two steps inward, and he was once again taken by Leonard.

But fortunately, Ye Xuan's breakthrough still attracted the Ginobili on the side, so after Ye Xuan was blocked by the opponent, he immediately passed the ball to the outside pickled pepper with a behind-the-back pass, and the pickled pepper did not waste the opportunity this time, and directly made a decisive shot after receiving the ball, and the three-point shot fell straight to the basket. If this three-pointer only delayed the opponent's momentum of chasing points, then in the next two rounds, Lance's defense and attack completely shattered the opponent's dream of turning the tables.

On the defensive end, Parker broke into the Pacers' interior again with Duncan's blocking, and then gave the ball to Ginobili, Ginobili shook off the pickled pepper with a false shot, and then handed the ball to Dio, who was already vacant with a cross, Dio received the ball outside the three-point line and was about to pull up and shoot, but he didn't expect that Stephenson had given up on Leonard's defense, touched it directly, and then fanned the ball down the moment Dio shot.

Although Parker chased back the backcourt and held the ball, he did not give the opponent a chance to counterattack, but there was not much time left for the offense, Parker had no choice but to make a women's shot from a long distance, pushing the ball to the Pacers' basket, at this time the twenty-four seconds of the light had been turned on, Parker's ultra-long three-point shot did not reach the basket, but smashed on the rebound and fell out directly.

Later, on the offensive end, after Lance ran out of the open space on the outside, he received the ball after Ye Xuan's breakthrough, made a decisive three-point shot, and returned the shot, expanding the difference between the two teams to as many as 10 points in an instant. And after the shot was made, the Spurs were forced to call a timeout.

After the timeout, although the Spurs still wanted to chase the points very much, the 10-point difference was like a moat, horizontal in front of them, so they could only sigh. The pace that followed was very familiar, and the Pacers controlled the pace of the offense, constantly using positional battles to consume the opponent's precious time.

In order to chase points, the Spurs began to gamble on the three-point shot, although Ginobili and Leonard hit two three-pointers in a row in the middle, and the difference was close to 6 points again, but as the game time was slowly consumed, the Spurs players became more and more impatient, and finally Ye Xuan made all 4 consecutive free throws, and after the Spurs' outside gambling three-point shooting appeared, the Spurs finally had no choice but to give up.

At the end of the game, the Pacers won 113-105 in San Antonio, although there were several twists and turns in the middle, but in the end the Pacers still won the key battle of Tianwang Mountain with difficulty, and the score was rewritten to 3:2, and the Pacers at this time were only one victory away from their dream O'Brien Cup.
