At halftime, Coach Frank looked very angry, the opponent was a team with nearly 20 wins less than himself, and their main center Al Horford was still injured and could not play, "Look what are you guys playing? If it's a playoff game, the other side is going to give us the Black Eight, you know what that means? You will be tied to the pillar of shame forever!! Come to think of it, I don't have much more to say. Apparently Coach Frank was already angry, so he didn't set up any tactics at halftime and left the locker room in a rage.

As the third quarter begins, the Pacers will begin to exert their power one after another. In the first round, Roy Hibbert showed his strength in the interior defensive gate, Jeff Teague was slapped by Hibbert with the help of his teammate's blocking and dismantling of the inside throw, and Paul Millsap on the side picked up the fanned basketball and got up to throw the ball in, but under Roy Hibbert's defense, although he did not cover the ball, the shot was ultimately missed.

David West grabbed the rebound and handed it to Hill, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt, took advantage of the opponent's unstable footing, and crossed to the pickled pepper inserted in the back to hit a chase three-pointer. Then, the Pacers made a concerted rotation that allowed the Hawks to almost go on a 24-second foul, and although there was no foul in the end, the final whistle shot did not go in.

Ye Xuan picked up the rebound that bounced back, then quickly dribbled and went down quickly, came to the three-point line, and in the face of Teague's defense, Ye Xuan first pretended to suppress the rhythm to play the position, and then accelerated past Teague in an instant, and easily threw it.

But the Hawks quickly adapted to the Pacers' sudden increase in defensive intensity, and Jeff Teague burst the ball to Kyle Korver in the bottom corner, and Korver picked up Paul George, who pounced on the defense, and dribbled inside to shoot a jumper, which finally stopped the Hawks' decline.

In the next 3 minutes, the two teams played back and forth, and the difference between the points remained between 5 and 8 points. But after a timeout from Mike Budenholzer, everything changed, and the Pacers' players began to feel their hands dropped, and many of the shots that should have been shot were deflected.

In contrast to the Pacers, the Hawks have continued their touch to the present, failing to attack the Pacers in successive rounds, and the Hawks took the opportunity to stretch the score to 12 points.

Ye Xuan saw that his teammates seemed to have lost their crosshairs, and in desperation, he had to choose to go it alone, but fortunately, with the addition of the system, the hit rate of the breakthrough throw was not bad, Ye Xuan broke into the restricted area under the cover of Hibbert and hit a throw, barely breaking the Pacers' scoring drought.

But they didn't stop the Hawks' offensive frenzy, as Teague and Millsap blocked and passed back to Millsap from beyond the three-point line, and Rice God opened his hand to shoot the ball, and the basketball went straight into the basket. Although Ye Xuan then received a wonderful pass from Pickled Pepper and returned a three-point shot after running out of the vacant position, Pero Antich, who replaced Al Horford as the Hawks' starting center, immediately received a return pass from Jeff Teague who burst into the restricted area after the block was completed at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer, so far, all the Hawks' starters have hit at least one three-pointer.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Hawks took advantage of a foul break and took the lead in calling a timeout to replace the main team to rest, and by this time they were already leading by 17 points.

Coach Frank replaced Hibbert, David West and Hill, and replaced Scola, Masimmi and Lance Stephenson to cooperate with Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper on the field, wanting to steal points after the opponent's main force left the game. After the pause, the Pacers served in the frontcourt, and after Ye Xuan received the ball, he took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's unstable formation to grab a three-pointer. Then Shervin Mark dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Brand, who was asking for the ball inside, and the old captain leaned back to Scola and used his own footwork to shake him off before making an easy layup.

Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper worked hard to slowly close the score, and at the end of the third quarter, the Pacers only barely recovered a 6-point difference. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Frank also had to replace the two main players who played the third quarter to rest, and the Hawks' bench gave the Pacers another blow. Lowe continued his hot run in the second quarter, not only hitting two three-pointers himself, but also assisting Cartier Martin and Mike Scott to hit mid-range shots, and although the Pacers bench also scored two points each by Lance and Scola, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the opponent's scores.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Frank redeployed the main team, but it was no longer helpful, and after the main team struggled on the court for a few minutes, he saw that the difference was still 16 points, and the time was less than 6 minutes. Coach Frank simply waved his hand, replaced all the main forces, sent the water cooler keeper, and announced the surrender.

In the end, the Pacers lost the game with a disparity of 99:116, although Pickled Pepper handed over 23 points, 7 assists and 6 boards, although Hibbert grabbed 14 rebounds, although Ye Xuan scored a game-high 34 points, but everything looked so pale in front of the Hawks' 27-18 three-point shots, and the Pacers themselves, except for Ye Xuan, the shooting rate of others was miserable, and the team's three-point shots of 26 shots and 10 shots looked good, but except for Ye Xuan's 11 shots and 6 shots, The team only shot 4-of-15 and shot less than 27% from three-point range, which was the biggest reason for the loss.

After the game, the media called the result of this game "unpopular", but Ye Xuan understood that on the one hand, the opponent's shooting rate was too amazing, on the other hand, the Pacers all seemed to be a little underestimated, and the first position in the East made everyone a little complacent, including Coach Frank, everyone felt that it was easy to defeat the Eagles, so they didn't even systematically arrange tactics or study the opponent before the game, and the results were self-evident, and the arrogant soldiers would lose.

Back in the locker room, Coach Frank organised a short in-house meeting: "I'm not going to blame you, we were all careless before the game, we were blinded by our own success some time ago. But I'm also glad that it's just a regular season game, we're still three wins ahead of the Heat, we're still first in the East, and we're still losing. At the same time, this defeat also shows you that every opponent we face is very strong, and when you slack off, they will catch up from behind and give you a fatal blow. Gentlemen, we're not much time away from the playoffs and we have to be nervous. Also, I have to tell you the bad news, tomorrow's training will go on as usual, but after the training is over, I'll schedule an hour of extra practice, and hopefully you'll be able to finish it, and then I'll let him go through the past races, and think about it when I go back, this year is the closest we've gotten to the championship, and tomorrow at 9 a.m., I want to see everybody on time. ”
