Chapter 363: Fighting the Bull Again
At 7 p.m. on March 19th, the Pacers welcomed the Bulls who lost Rose on their home court, and at the beginning of the game, the Bulls showed their multi-faceted offensive strength, so that the Pacers understood that they did not rely on a single Rose to climb to the fourth place in the East now, and indeed they performed very well without Rose this season, especially Gasol, to a large extent, played the power of his post-Lakers era, from the Lakers two consecutive championships, For the first time, Gasol has re-proved his strength, and in the last few years of the Lakers, Gasol has always been in the back position.
And although Noah's power on the inside has decreased due to injuries, he is still the best defensive player last season, and the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, so Hibbert can't take too much advantage on the inside. But after the lack of Rose, they found that their guard line is indeed a little vulnerable, although the former core Sinrich performed quite well, but on the offensive end, he couldn't involve Ye Xuan as much energy as Rose, so Ye Xuan was able to put a lot of energy into the offensive end and fight with Butler, and the result was naturally that Ye Xuan once again dominated the direction of the game.
Although a wave of outbursts from the Bulls at the beginning of the game did beat the Pacers a little blind, but the Pacers quickly regained their form, after Ye Xuan took control of the situation, the rest of the thing was to slowly consume the Bulls, and because Hinrich was put on the starter, the Bulls' bench was also a problem, in addition to being pressed by Ye Xuan all the time, the time period when they mainly lost points was actually after the two sides replaced the main force, and the substitutes clashed.
Although Aaron Brooks' performance was not bad, his thin body couldn't bear C.J. Watson, who was stronger than him, and Ty Gibson's poor hand in this game made the Bulls' bench have little room to fight back, and as a result, when Ye Xuan was at the end of the break in the first quarter of the game, the Pacers were only 2 points ahead of the opponent, because they basically filled the 8-point hole dug at the beginning. But when Ye Xuan restarted the game in the second quarter, although the time was only a little more than 4 minutes, the substitutes were very good at stretching the difference to 9 points.
Ye Xuan returned to the game, although there was still Jimmy Butler to defend, but without the involvement of the defensive end, Ye Xuan, who was attacking with all his might, was still very strong, after the second quarter of the game, Ye Xuan followed the previous game after slashing 41 points, this game sent 34 points again, and this time, he actually sent 3 steals in the first half, which also shows that Hinrich is really losing when facing Ye Xuan.
The Pacers also relied on the explosion of Ye Xuan and the benches to extend their lead to 15 points at the end of the first half. In fact, at this point in the game, it can basically be announced that the Bulls have lost, but what is good is that the Bulls have inherited the temperament of the old hooligans who did not admit defeat, and tried to chase the score back in the third quarter of the game.
In the third quarter of the game, due to the desperate resistance of the Bulls, the point difference was chased back a little by the Bulls, although Ye Xuan played the third quarter, but the main players of the Bulls also played the third quarter, this momentum of breaking the boat really played a certain role, the third quarter of the game ended, the Pacers 88:80, only 8 points ahead of the opponent, but Ye Xuan's score also quietly came to 48 points again, and there were 8 assists, and looking at this situation, there should not be too much garbage time in this game.
Ye Xuan's side didn't expect that the opponent's resistance would be so stubborn, so after the end of the third quarter of the game, Ye Xuan still used a small bottle of physical strength recovery potion in order to ensure that he could win the game. In the fourth quarter of the game, Ye Xuan had been resting off the court for 3 minutes before being replaced again, and on the Bulls' side, Jimmy Butler basically did not rest and continued to play on the court, while Gasol and Noah took a break and replaced Gibson with a few people on the court. Until Ye Xuan came on the court, the Bulls still didn't let the score expand again.
However, after Ye Xuan played again, the Bulls couldn't find more ways to resist, mainly because Jimmy Butler began to get a little tired after consecutive appearances, and without Jimmy Butler to contain it, Ye Xuan brushed it so coolly, and after a few consecutive rounds, the Pacers reextended their lead to double digits, and when the opponent replaced Gasol and others to save the game, it was too late.
Without Jimmy Butler's annoying guy to interfere, Ye Xuan's offense was unstoppable, and then the two teams played each other for about 3 minutes, and the Pacers extended their lead back to 15 points, at which point the Bulls finally gave up resistance, replaced the main forces, and announced their surrender. And Ye Xuan was still a little unsatisfied at this time, because his current score was exactly 59 points, although he had 12 assists, but he always felt very unhappy with one less point, but in order not to let Ye Xuan be hacked by someone with a heart again, Coach Frank did not hesitate and directly replaced Ye Xuan.
At the end of the game, the Pacers slashed the Bulls on their home court, 122-107, and the score was also very high this time. However, after this game, the focus was all on Ye Xuan's body, logically speaking, Ye Xuan played 60+10 data in the last game, so everyone should have a good report, but due to the guidance of caring people, Ye Xuan's release of water has become the main direction of the report. But this time, there are not so many black spots, and Ye Xuan once again got 59 points and 12 assists in the second game in a row, which made those media who didn't like Ye Xuan have to come over to interview Ye Xuan with a shy face.
It's a pity that Ye Xuan has 1 point less this time, otherwise it will be 60+10 in two consecutive games, it is estimated that it will really be an unprecedented performance, although there was also Kobe Bryant's continuous 50+ performance in front, but Ye Xuan is 50+ double-doubles, not to mention that Ye Xuan also got 3 steals again in the second half of this game, and sent a total of 6 steals in the whole game, if it weren't for Ye Xuan's lack of grabbing rebounds, so the rebounding data is basically zero, it is estimated that Ye Xuan's report card will be more eye-catching today.
