Chapter Seventy-Two: The Scorching Game

After the pause, Wei Shao restarted to exert power, and after shaking out of the vacancy, he hit a direct shot. Although Ye Xuan then assisted the pickled pepper with color, Shuangshao not only felt hot in this game, but also continuously broke through the ball to open up space for his teammates, and his teammates felt good, and they didn't waste any opportunities. The Thunder, who scored in three consecutive rounds, instantly stretched the difference to 10 points.

On the other hand, on the Pacers' side, David West's hand is not very good, and he didn't hit the high shot after two consecutive blocks, although Hibbert has a high shooting rate, but he basically relies on the back single or the unguarded situation after his teammates break through the points, only Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper use their personal abilities to continue to score points and create opportunities for teammates, and after the third quarter, the Pacers have fallen behind by 12 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Pacers chose to let Pickle Pepper and George Hill play with the bench for a while, and the Thunder simply came off the bench because of the lead, but under the leadership of Jeremy Lamb and Reggie Jackson, the Thunder's bench lineup also played back and forth with the Pacers, although Pepper faced Lamb's defense, scored 14 points in 5 minutes very efficiently, but the difference was still only 6 points, and when there were 7 minutes left in the game, both sides changed their main lineups at the same time.

After resting for a while, Ye Xuan, who was back on the court, immediately began to exert his power, using Brooks's breakthrough combined with the speed of the French sports car, and continuously changed direction quickly to pass Wei Shao and hit a throw.

But defensively, the Thunder's offense was still sharp, and after Wei Shao broke through with the ball, he hit the inside line and caused Hibbert's foul, and hit two free throws steadily. Then Pickles also used his pace and speed to shake off Sofloza and shoot two points, but then Durant immediately returned the favor. Both offenses have come and gone, but it's not good news for the trailing Pacers.

The game went into the final three minutes, and the Pacers still trailed by five points. But Pickled Pepper, who played at the beginning of the fourth quarter, has obviously declined in physical strength now, and Ye Xuan can only take over the offensive banner in desperation. After coming to the front court, he called West to come forward to block and dismantle, and then quickly passed the ball to West, who took two steps to the basket and hit the board to score the ball. But Wei Shao immediately used a pull-up rod after a breakthrough to make a layup.

After Ye Xuan came to the front court again, Wei Shao, who was defending him, said, "Ye, where is your courage?" Come and go head-to-head with me! Don't do any more blocking! Ye Xuan heard Wei Shao's provocation, unmoved, still found Lance, and shot a long-distance two-point shot from the vacant position obtained after passing the cover.

After throwing the ball in, Ye Xuan retreated, while staring at Wei Shao, who received the backcourt serve and slowly moved forward, and said, "Russell, look, this is the difference between me and you, you are thinking about how to go heads-up, and I am thinking about how to win." Wei Shao was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought to himself, "This force is pretending to be slippery, but it shouldn't be me." While thinking, he also beckoned to Ibaka, made a cover and went straight inside to cause Hibbert's foul, at this time, Hibbert was already the fifth foul.

After Wei Shao hit both punishments, he smiled at Ye Xuan. After that, Ye Xuan assisted Hibbert again to hit a hook shot, and Wei Shao also assisted Durant to shoot a mid-range shot. After the Pacers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan looked up and saw that time was running out, and he had to bet on three points, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the score and the opponent would consume precious time in vain.

Thinking about it, he slowly controlled the ball and came to the front court, just after crossing the middle line, Ye Xuan suddenly accelerated, came to the three-point line and pulled out his hand directly, fortunately Ye Xuan's hand felt good, and the basketball fell straight to the basket. The deficit was reduced to two points, and with a little over a minute left on the clock, the Pacers regained their hopes of winning.

But before he had time to celebrate, Du Shao suddenly became powerful again, and after half the time, he directly asked Wei Shao for the ball, of course, Wei Shao would not refute Durant's face, and immediately handed over the ball. A whistle blew to announce the end of Hibbert's game.

After Hibbert fouled the court, the Pacers simply did not change the center to play, but sent Hill, who has a certain three-point shooting ability, at this time David West took the position of center, and Lance was the power forward, and the small front was Pickle Pepper.

This lineup doesn't look like it's good for interior protection, but the good thing is that everyone can pull out and shoot. After Durant hit both free throws, Hill quickly advanced to the frontcourt, hoping to catch the opponent off guard, but the Thunder was not a fool, and he had already settled in his position, and in desperation, he could only hand over the basketball to Ye Xuan for organization.

After Ye Xuan received the ball, he was not ambiguous, and directly used a crotch to change hands to shake the gap before receiving the body, and then made a gesture to rush in, Wei Shao hurriedly retreated to defense, and as a result, Ye Xuan stepped back and came to the three-point line to hit a three-point shot again. Instantly chased the score to just one point.

The Thunder quickly called a timeout to set up their tactics, and the Pacers quickly made personnel adjustments, replacing Hill and then Marsimmy to defend with 49 seconds left in the game. At the end of the pause, the Thunder sideline ball was issued, and after Wei Shao got the basketball, he slowly suppressed the rhythm, and then suddenly changed direction in front of his body and then killed Ye Xuan's left hand.

Ye Xuan was just about to follow the defense, but he didn't take two steps and directly crashed into Ibaka's arms, Wei Shao's side faced West, who came over to make up for the defense, and retreated outside the three-point line, and then gently hoisted the ball to Ibaka, who was stuck in Ye Xuan's inner line, facing Ibaka's strong inner line, Ye Xuan had no good way, so he simply pulled him down when the opponent just turned around and equipped him to shoot.

After the foul, Ye Xuan reluctantly raised his hand and signaled to the referee that he had committed a foul. Ibaka came to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and then hit the first free throw, Ye Xuan was nervous on the sidelines, and then Ibaka and his teammates high-fived one by one, and quickly shot the second free throw, Ye Xuan waved his hand helplessly, and called a timeout again. Coach Frank quickly replaced Masimmy again, sent out the projection lineup just now, and then arranged the tactics, and everyone was ready to play again.
