Chapter 395: Desperate Survival

Although Hibbert received his third foul with more than four minutes left in the first half, he basically completed his mission, because the Hawks focused their attention on the offensive interior, so they wasted a lot of opportunities, and as a result, the Pacers still erased the opponent's remaining five-point lead despite the poor hand, until Hibbert was fouled, and the Pacers' side was tied with the opponent.

After the Pacers replaced Hibbert for Masimmy and Millsap stepped to the free-throw line and hit both free throws to regain the lead, the Hawks were left with only two points left.

The Pacers served in the backcourt, and after Ye Xuan received the serve, he also rushed to the opponent's half with his head in his head, and then used his physical advantage to forcibly pass Teague, and after Carol came over, he passed the ball to the follow-up pickled pepper, and after pickled pepper got the ball, he easily shot near the free throw line.

In the next few rounds, the Pacers continued to rely on their positional advantage, forcibly tearing apart the opponent's defensive formation, and then forming a local play of more and less play. Among them, Ye Xuan's Jeff Teague became the focus of care, and after being broken through by Ye Xuan two or three times in a row, the Hawks also had to let other players help him make up for the defense, and the result was that the Pacers relied on this single strong point to lead the offense, and the score was tightly bitten.

The second quarter of the game was finally over, and the Hawks wanted to quickly use the advantage of the inside to expand their lead after beating Hibbert, but they completely ignored one point, that is, the two cores of the Pacers are actually outside players, although Hibbert is indeed a barrier for the Pacers on the inside, but the Hawks have no way to solve the problem of outside defense, so the Pacers and the Hawks can only be a mutual explosion at most. As a result, although the Hawks scored 16 points on the Pacers in just five minutes after Hibbert was forced to rest again, the Pacers' outside combination also scored 14 points, and at halftime, the two teams were tied at 58:54, and the Hawks barely led by 4 points into the second half, but compared to their 10-point lead in the first quarter, they were obviously a loser in this quarter.

At halftime, Ye Xuan couldn't wait to directly swallow the small physical recovery potion he had left, mainly because the game was very anxious, so Ye Xuan's physical consumption was also very fast, and Ye Xuan only rested for less than 3 minutes in the first half, so his physical strength had dropped to less than 60% at the end of the half, and now after taking off the small physical recovery potion, Ye Xuan's physical strength was only 70%.

The game in the second half quickly restarted, and the Pacers still sent their own starting lineup, but Solomon Hill was put on the bench, and Smith's offensive ability cooperated with Ye Xuan and others to open up the situation in this quarter of the game, and Solomon Hill let him play with the benches to support the situation.

The game restarted, the Eagles served in the backcourt, after Teague controlled the ball and came to the front court, he called Millsap to help block and dismantle, and after the block was completed, Teague successfully avoided Ye Xuan's pursuit, so Scola had to make up for Teague, at this time Teague looked back at the moon and passed the ball back to Millsap who was waiting outside, after Mishen received the ball, he made a gesture to signal everyone to pull away, and then began to hit Ye Xuan with his back, although Ye Xuan has a height of 201, his arm span is not bad, But it has not yet reached the extent that he can carry the back of the big forward's figure, so he was directly arched all the way from the high position to the penalty area, and Scola on the side deliberately wrapped it, but Teague has already found a good position, as long as Scola leaves, Teague will be given the opportunity to shoot in the empty position, so they can only watch Millsap knock Ye Xuan a few times and then easily score the ball.

However, Ye Xuan is not a master who can suffer, immediately in the next round of attack, - Smith, and then ran to the low post to ask for the ball back to hit Teague, Teague, who was still gloating just now, also experienced Ye Xuan's feeling just now, although Ye Xuan and he defended against him, but obviously Ye Xuan's height and weight are more dominant, coupled with Ye Xuan's low-post skills and back-to-back skills, it is also difficult to play Teague, after returning the opponent to a single, Ye Xuan still feels that it is not enjoyable, I also want to draw a scoop in the next round, but the Hawks are not stupid, and immediately arranged for Millsap to come over to wrap the clip, mainly because Scola has no three-point ability to hit Hibbert, so the Hawks' interior line doesn't have to be pulled too outside, and the result naturally gives them the opportunity to wrap the clip.

Ye Xuan was suddenly caught by the opponent, and did not panic in the slightest, but calmly sent the ball back to Scola's hands with a slap pass, and Scola took a step inside after receiving the ball, and immediately stuffed the ball back to Ye Xuan who ran out of the inside line, Ye Xuan received the basketball and continued to take two steps outward, and after coming to the three-point line, he turned around and pulled it up directly to make a three-point shot, and Teague who defended Ye Xuan was blocked by Scola, and Ye Xuan's unguarded three-point shot was naturally a steady hit.

Over the next two rounds, the Hawks' offense began to thrive, and although Teague used pick-and-rolls and breakouts to find teammates who were missed, Carroll and Korver's open three-pointers ended in iron, and the Pacers' mid-range shot from Smith and Hibbert's low-post back-to-back singles failed to score points for the team. The two teams, who were still very happy with the race, instantly cooled down, and at this time, the Pacers began to decline due to the outside touch, -Smith switched to Solomon Hill, hoping to use Hill's tough defense to find opportunities on the defensive end, and then use quick counterattacks to open the situation.

However, the opponent is obviously not a fool, so he directly replaced Korver and replaced him with a little yellow hair Schroder with more outstanding defensive ability, in order to limit Ye Xuan, who has the ability to break the deadlock, in this stalemate situation, so as to slowly rely on his own interior advantage to encroach on the Pacers, after all, when the two teams are not feeling good, they must have an advantage the closer they are to the basket.
