Chapter 204: Fighting wits and courage

It can be found that the old man does not seem to have any intention of replacing Leonard, obviously in this game, due to the lack of personnel, the Spurs are ready to let Leonard's panacea swingman play for a while as much as possible to prevent the bench from not keeping up and causing the team to collapse.

However, looking at the lineup on the Pacers' side, I have to say that it does look a bit luxurious, although the interior seems a little empty, but it is really just right for the opponent to have a lineup that also has no interior line. In the last three minutes of the third quarter, the two teams also fell into a battle of offense, but the shooting percentages of both sides did not seem particularly high after the acceleration, and the third quarter ended, and the Pacers led the opponent by 4 points at 83:79 into the final quarter.

However, it is worth mentioning that Ye Xuan has scored 31 points with a series of points in the second quarter, coupled with his outstanding performance in the third quarter, maybe Ye Xuan will be able to break the Pacers team history Finals scoring record won by himself again in this game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers replaced Pickled Pepper and Stephenson, who played the entire third quarter, with Ye Xuan and Scola on their side, while the Spurs still let Leonard continue to play, without the slightest intention of replacing him to rest, and I don't know if Leonard is really so good at physical strength that he can last for two full quarters without rest. However, the old man replaced Parker again, and I think he thinks that Parker will not suffer when facing Ciel.

The Pacers served in the backcourt, Hill slowly controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, although the opponent did not replace Leonard, but due to Coach Frank's tactical arrangement, George Hill still passed the ball directly to Ye Xuan without hesitation, Ye Xuan was also very helpless in the face of Leonard, you said that you have been playing for so long, don't you feel tired?

However, Leonard immediately used his actual actions to tell Ye Xuan that he was really not tired... Ye Xuan originally felt that the opponent's physical strength should not be very sufficient, so he wanted to try it with the ball himself, but Ye Xuan tried his best to shake Leonard away, and in the end, in desperation, he still used the cover of Solomon Hill to get the space to shoot, and finally Ye Xuan ended the attack with a throw, and also made a good start for the fourth quarter of the Pacers.

On the Spurs' side, because it is a four-small lineup, the interior line is very empty, although Masimmi against Dio, he can't take advantage of it, but Danny Green against Scola is very difficult. Although Green's fast movement on the offensive end also made Scola a little uncomfortable, the Pacers' outside defense ability is still very good, and Ye Xuan's side directly chose to let go of Leonard at every turn, which also seemed a bit of a bully.

However, I have to say that Ye Xuan's strategy is still very effective, Leonard has been playing for so long, his physical strength is not particularly enough, and now he has to take on the heavy responsibility of making the last shot on the offensive end, Rao is iron man can't withstand the simultaneous consumption of both offensive and defensive ends.

So although the opponent hit two three-pointers in the first four shots of the fourth quarter, as Leonard's physical strength began to have problems, his shooting began to become more and more inaccurate, and not only that, Ye Xuan also began to cause trouble for the Spurs on the offensive end after Ye Xuan found that Leonard's physical strength was exhausted.

It's to beat you Leonard, although he also seems to be very hard, but he still makes the opponent's physical strength lose quickly, and finally in the fourth quarter of the game 3 minutes into the game, Leonard's vacant shot actually shot a hollow outside the basket directly, and was directly caught by Masin Mi under the basket.

The old man Zhuge Vic off the court also secretly screamed badly, but the Pacers won't give you a chance, Ma Simmy immediately launched a fast attack with a long pass, Ye Xuan and George Hill rushed to the front, and the bald man and the small sports car behind were also desperately chasing back, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was cheaper than Solomon Hill, who ran behind.

Ye Xuan received a pass from Masimmi and continued to break through to the opponent's penalty area, but as a result, his and George Hill's running position seemed to be a little heavy, and he was chased by Parker and Ginobili behind him, just when Ye Xuan thought that his fast attack was smashed by himself, the afterglow was swept away, Ye Xuan saw Solomon Hill following behind, Ye Xuan was also very decisive, and instantly passed the ball to Hill's hands, and Danny Green, who was defending behind Hill, was still two steps away from him. I saw Solomon Hill directly pull up a three-point shot and hit the ball.

This goal also brought the score difference that had just been cleaned by Ye Xuan back to 4 points, and more importantly, the opponent's core player Leonard is now obviously physically exhausted. It's no wonder that Leonard has been playing for 12 minutes in a row, and then Ye Xuan didn't know what kind of chicken blood he was playing, so he suddenly desperately wanted to beat him alone, which made him very tired on the defensive end, and on the offensive side, Ye Xuan chose to stock him again, and his consecutive multiple shots also further consumed Leonard's physical strength.

In the end, the Spurs also had to call a timeout and replace Leonard with Duncan instead. Replace the small facial paralysis and replace the large facial paralysis, and it really deserves to be the facial paralysis team. After the Spurs replaced Duncan, the focus of the offense shifted to the inside, and Duncan directly asked for the ball in the interior in the first round, and successfully singled Masin Rice.

However, after Ye Xuan's side was liberated, it also created a lot of trouble for the Spurs, if you don't say that Ye Xuan is not trapped, it is easy to be beaten by Ye Xuan alone, you say that Ye Xuan is clamped, Ye Xuan's passing ability is not covered, after all, Ye Xuan's average assists per game in the finals are double-doubles.

After going back and forth, although Duncan's success rate in beating Ma Simmy on the inside is very good, but after all, it is also two points and two points, but Ye Xuan's singles on the Pacers' side also shoot three points by himself from time to time, which makes the Spurs a little unguardable. However, Leonard did not rest long off the court before regaining some strength, and in the fifth quarter of the game, the Spurs readjusted the personnel on the court, replacing Dio and Ginobili, and replacing Baynes and Leonard.
