It's a pity that the Pacers don't plan to give the opponent too much respite, only a minute and a half into the start of the second quarter of the game, Ye Xuan put on the battle again, and took Shambaught and others to start the second round of attack on the Cavaliers, how could this lineup of the Cavaliers be able to block the three-point team led by Ye Xuan, - Smith, Shambaugh, Ye Xuan and C.J. Watson The outside firepower of the four stopped the Cavaliers in a few clicks, and the score difference was instantly stretched to 10 points.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers replaced James, at which time James had only rested for more than three minutes, and it seems that if this game has been deadlocked, James' playing time in this game will break 40 again. However, although the Cavaliers replaced James, the situation was just a five-five fight with the Pacers team with Ye Xuan on the floor, in fact, this is where the Pacers have the most advantage in the playoffs, most of the other teams are in the playoffs for 8 people, the Cavaliers are injured two generals, the number of regular rotations is not enough 8, and Marion, who does not play much, has to be lined up in the regular rotation.

Even so, they are still not manpowered, James Jones, who usually does not have many opportunities to play, has to play an average of more than 15 minutes per game against the Bulls, plus now there is one less Lefu than against the Bulls, the Cavaliers' playing time is more tightly distributed, and the playing time of several main players will be forced to increase to more than an unhealthy number.

The Pacers also saw this, and were not very eager to end the game in the first three quarters, but to carry out regular rotations, and let Pickled Pepper contain James, the only core of the Cavaliers, the tone of the game in the second quarter was very obvious, the Pacers began to fight a war of attrition, and the Cavaliers' offense suddenly fell into a quagmire, originally their outside firepower was still very good, but after injuring Irving and Love, their outside projection ability declined significantly, and the entire starting lineup, Only Hill's three-point shooting is more secure, followed by Dellavedova, James has dropped his three-point shooting rate since returning to Cleveland, and now it is only about 33% shooting, not to mention the two interior lines, there is no projection ability at all, Vallejo can still shoot the first head, and TT is 7 feet away from the basket The shooting rate has dropped very seriously.

The limited offensive range has been reflected in the game with the Bulls, but at that time they also had a Lefu to open up the space on the inside, so that James' breakthrough could have a chance to play, but now in the face of the Pacers, the Cavaliers can only forcibly chisel inside, without the slightest skill at all, the Pacers are a joint defense in front of them, Pickled Pepper to defend James, and the other four people are in joint defense, and the Cavaliers are suddenly out of temper in the face of this kind of iron bucket scoundrel.

At the end of the second quarter, the Pacers led their opponents by 11 points at 57-46 on the road heading into the second half. The Cavaliers actually know that their chances of winning this game are not great, after all, although James started this game well, but the other points of the Cavaliers have not been opened, and the shooting rate is very average, so they don't have a good way to take the Pacers' joint defense, at this time they miss Irving's sharp breakthrough and the contribution of the two giants outside the three-point line.

The second half of the game started quickly, and for the Pacers, the rhythm of the game was basically in their own hands, so the Pacers played slowly, neither giving the Cavaliers the opportunity to speed up and disrupt the rhythm of the game, nor deliberately slowing down the offensive speed to reduce their team's offensive efficiency.

In this quarter of the game, James still broke out a little, in the third quarter of the game for more than 5 minutes, James suddenly began to attack with the ball continuously, first hit a dry three-point on the outside, and then forced to break through the pickled pepper for two consecutive rounds and hit the ball, one of the balls was scored in the case of Scola and hanging on him foul, this kind of physical explosiveness also scared Ye Xuan next to him, but unfortunately, this style of play consumes too much physical strength, Rao is a strongman like James who began to be a little overwhelmed after a few rounds of continuous outbreaks.

At this time, the Pacers began to blow the horn of the final offense in advance, taking advantage of the opportunity of James showing fatigue, directly replaced the lineup on the court with a large belt of four small, Hibbert inside the axis, Ye Xuan on the outside, Solomon Hill, - Smith and Pickled Pepper four people are full of firepower, and a direct wave of powerful offensive frenzy directly killed the game, in just 3 and a half minutes, the Pacers used this lineup to slash 16 points, and directly opened the difference between the two points that were originally chased to only 5 points to 15 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers tried to struggle again, but on the one hand, because their physical problems had been highlighted, and on the other hand, because the Pacers began to set up a turtle shell formation again, so the Cavaliers' chasing effect was not particularly obvious, plus Ye Xuan immediately hit a three-pointer again and assisted Shambaugh to shoot a three-pointer after being replaced again, and suddenly reopened the score that the Cavaliers had worked hard for 3 minutes to recover. So the Cavaliers were consumed alive by the Pacers in the first game of the Eastern Conference.

At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers at home 105-98 at the Quickloan Arena and made a good start to the Eastern Conference finals, James has performed well enough in this game, playing 38 minutes, getting 41 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists of quasi-triple-double data, but he still failed to bring victory to the team, the highest score on the Pacers' side is still Ye Xuan, who scored 29 points and 12 assists in the whole game, and the energy of Pickled Pepper in this game is basically focused on defending James, So the statistics are only 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but his contribution on the defensive end is still very obvious.

At the end of this game, Ye Xuan can be regarded as avenging the regular season, during the regular season, the Cavaliers directly used attrition tactics to defeat Ye Xuan in the case of having the Big Three, and Ye Xuan also turned around in this game to let James taste what it means to be invincible with two fists and four hands, and after this game, the Pacers also grabbed the home court advantage, the home court of the Pacers, which is the tested home court of the devil, which is very beneficial to the Pacers.
