Chapter 171: The Dance of the Demons (Second Update)

After being shaken by Duncan twice in a row, Hibbert also felt a little embarrassed, so he was anxious to save face for himself, ran to the front court and stuck the position on the inside again, and then reached out to Hill to ask for the ball, Hill still chose to believe him, so he passed the ball in again.

After Hibbert received the ball, he first used his back to test the opponent, and then continued to sink his body to hit Duncan on his back, Duncan did not make any more careful thinking this time, but directly chose to face hard Hibbert, but Hibbert's tonnage is still here, even if you are Duncan, it is impossible to say that you can carry it, after a few hits to knock Duncan, Hibbert turned around and hooked his hand, but although the action looked very smooth, but the strength was not mastered well when shooting, The basketball fell out after two hits on the hoop.

Leonard immediately grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then handed the ball to Parker, Parker slowly pushed forward, Ye Xuan on the side still wanted to sneak attack, wanted to steal the opponent, but the small sports car reacted very quickly, immediately held the ball with both hands, and then passed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard didn't pass back, he brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then faced Pickle Pepper's defense to force a breakthrough through the opponent, but I have to say that Leonard's stop-and-retreat jumper after the breakthrough was still very skilled, and Pickle Pepper was also shaken away by him when he was in the right position, and he could only watch Leonard hit this mid-range shot.

After that, Hill didn't dare to hoist the ball to Hibbert anymore, but chose to come by himself, he held the ball at the top of the arc to face Parker's defense, beckoned Hibbert to help block and dismantle, and both of them quickly rushed to the inside line after blocking and dismantling, Hill rushed halfway, and Duncan, who was scared to change defenses, was about to go over to block it, but Hill just shook a shot, and re-passed the ball into the inside line with a hit, facing Parker, who was almost 30 cm shorter, Hibbert calmly slapped his foot and stuffed the ball into the basket with one hand.

After hitting this ball, Hibbert also breathed a sigh of relief, so in the next few rounds, he did not actively ask for the ball in the inside position, but handed over more offensive opportunities to a few teammates on the outside, and it seems that he also knows that his offense is really not very powerful.

And the Pacers' outside offense didn't disappoint him, first Hill shot a breakaway and then a throw, and then Pickle Pepper forced a break to cause Split's foul and got two free throw opportunities, although the defense still failed to prevent the Spurs' offense, but at least it didn't let the opponent rely on a super high offensive success rate to further pull the score away.

With five minutes to go, the Pacers took the lead in making personnel changes, replacing George Hill with Lance Stephenson, the prodigal son, and the Spurs still used their current lineup to respond, at which point the Pacers trailed by five points 70-75.

After the substitution, Pepper walked to the free throw line to execute his second free throw, and after hitting the free throw steadily, the Pacers temporarily trailed by four points. The Spurs are still the old routine and are ready to let Duncan play alone on the inside, but this time, Lance's bag made Duncan a little unresponsive, and before he could pass the ball out, he was surrounded by Hibbert and Stephenson, and in desperation, Zhuge quickly called a timeout.

After the pause came back, they also made some personnel adjustments, replaced Parker, and replaced him with Ginobili, not for anything else, because after Lance came on the court, Pickled Pepper became the second position, because Leonard was going to defend Ye Xuan, so it was Parker who was staring at Pickled Pepper, whether it was Pickled Pepper or Stephenson, Parker was at a disadvantage in the position, so the old man simply replaced him.

After the pause, the Spurs served on the sideline, but because there was not much time left for the offense, they did not continue to force the inside, but let Ginobili come to play Ye Xuan who was opposite him, although Ye Xuan failed to play any role on the offensive end, but the defensive end is not just able to let you break through.

Ginobili wanted to forcibly overtake Ye Xuan, but he never expected that although Ye Xuan's arm span was not as exaggerated as Leonard's, it also reached an arm span of 217cm, so the moment the two staggered, Ye Xuan turned around and stabbed the ball directly out of the bald man's hand, and then quickly rushed towards the opponent's half.

The ball that was stabbed by Ye Xuan went directly into Lance Stephenson's arms, Stephenson did not hesitate, and threw the ball directly to the front court with a long throw, Ye Xuan ran wildly, the basketball flew over his head, and then fell down and smashed one step outside the three-point line, Ye Xuan hurried two steps, grabbed the rebounded basketball and directly entered the Spurs inside, although Leonard and Danny Green desperately chased back, they could still only watch Ye Xuan rise into the sky to complete the powerful two-handed basket.

Ye Xuan, who hadn't pretended to be forced for a long time, found an opportunity to pretend again, and made his signature celebration against the opponent's basket, with the cooperation of the audience, with a 'bang', as if breaking through the defense of the entire Spurs.

However, the psychological quality of the Spurs is still very good, and it was not affected by Ye Xuan's arrogant celebrations, and he still played steadily, choosing to let Duncan hold the ball on the inside line, and after Duncan received the pass, he immediately turned his back and broke through to the inside, not giving others a chance to wrap it up at all, and then forcefully and directly under the basket, which eventually caused Hibbert's foul.

Duncan came to the free throw line, steadily shot the first free throw, then took two steps back and high-fived his teammates, and then returned to the free throw line, ready to make the second free throw, after the second free throw was thrown, Ye Xuan knew that the ball was gone, so he immediately started to rush towards the opponent's half.

Although Duncan's free throw was not shot, Hibbert and West did not protect the backcourt rebound, but were found by Split to catch the rebound, and then quickly passed the ball to the outside, Ye Xuan once again made a mistake that should not be made, although sometimes starting the fast attack in advance can indeed effectively hit the opponent, but once the rebound is caught by the opponent, it will become the opponent's front court 5 to 4, this offense is the same, Ye Xuan has not had time to return to defense, The opponent hit an unguarded three-pointer by Danny Green.
