Chapter 140: The First Scene of the Finals

Ye Xuan was taken aback when he saw the things in the special mall. Because he saw options that included height, arm span, and even the length of the 'microphone'. In addition, there are some strange special talents in it. For example, Ron Artest, or Meta Ward Pease's rap talent, and Andre Iguodala's business talent are also sold in stores.

Ye Xuan carefully studied this special mall again, it turned out that it was full of other talents that were sold by NBA stars that had nothing to do with their skills, including the fashion talents of Wei Shao that Ye Xuan had drawn before.

Ye Xuan also fancied a talent, that is, Uncle Mu's multi-Chinese talent, this talent is not too much, now he already knows Chinese and English, and Uncle Mu is proficient in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and a variety of African tribal dialects, in addition to English and African indigenous dialects, other languages are very useful to themselves.

However, after looking at the price, Ye Xuan lost interest in this special shop, and even the most basic and cheapest 'Gilbert Arenas Basic Gun Mastery Talent' required up to 500 days of survival time to redeem. And the language talent that Ye Xuan likes is the price of 3,000 days of survival time, which also makes Ye Xuan sigh with emotion, this survival time is too much, and when he really wants to use it, he knows that his income is just a drop in the bucket.

However, thinking that I am only in my first season, I can get so much survival time with many special rewards, and as my strength increases, my achievements will become higher and higher, and I will get more and more rewards at that time.

Not to mention Ye Xuan's drooling at the pile of strange talents in the system's special store, not to mention how the Pacers and Spurs conducted regular training. It's June 10th, and the Pacers will face off in the first round of the Finals at the San Antonio Spurs' home AT&T arena.

Then again, although Adam Xiao Hua is stupid and has a low IQ, there are times when the reforms he has made are quite good, such as this year's finals format, which finally returned to the normal 2, 2, 1, 1, 1. In this way, the Pacers will not have to worry about the home court for three consecutive years, and changing locations back and forth will also cause more trouble for the relatively aging Spurs.

The schedule of the finals also has to be said, after the first game on June 10, the two teams will get two days off, and then another game in San Antonio on the 13th, after which they will come to Indiana to play the third and fourth games at the Conseco Arena on the 15th and 17th, and if there is no sweep, the two teams will return to San Antonio on the 20th, and then the 22nd and 24th will also play if needed.

The first game started in a blink of an eye, just when the Pacers were full of confidence and ready to get a good start on the opponent's home court, the team performance of the Spurs generals gave Ye Xuan and others a blow to the head.

In the first quarter, the main players of the two teams played back and forth, and the defense seemed to be decent, comparable. But that all changed when the Spurs replaced Ginobili, the 'old vulture of the Pampas'. In just four minutes, Ginobili made four shots from beyond the three-point line, hitting three of them to score nine points, and also contributed three assists and two rebounds to lead the Spurs to a 26-20 lead over the Pacers in the first quarter.

On the other hand, on the Pacers' side, Ye Xuan achieved a record of 6 points and 3 assists when he was opposite Tony Parker, and the opponent who defended did not score a point, but after Ginobili came up, Ye Xuan's defense did not prevent the opponent from throwing this unreasonable three-point shot even if it had been sealed on the opponent's face, and on the offensive end, Ye Xuan was also a little uncomfortable to defend, because the bald man likes to grab a step with Ye Xuan, and often when Ye Xuan breaks through, the place where he gets off his foot will be stepped on by the opponent to take a step forward.

The rest of the Pacers, Hibbert was obviously blown up by Split and Duncan, not only scored only two points, but also was caught by the opponent 3 frontcourt rebounds, such a performance also made Coach Frank very dissatisfied, but fortunately, the shooting rate of Pickled Pepper was not bad, and he got 8 points and 3 boards in the first quarter.

After entering the second quarter, the Pacers finally regained a little bit of their feeling when they were in the East, not only Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper broke out at the same time, scoring 9 and 10 points respectively, but also George Hill, who came off the bench, also scored 5 points and 4 assists, and under the joint efforts of several people, the Pacers scored 30 points in a single quarter.

And Ye Xuan successfully restrained Ginobili's nerve knife after the second quarter, so that the opponent did not score a point in the entire second quarter, of course, Tony Parker, the starting point guard who was replaced later, was still a little miserable by Ye Xuan, and the French sports car only relied on Ye Xuan to score 4 points in a few minutes after he got off the court in the second quarter.

Throughout the second quarter, the Pacers' starting lineup can be said to have suppressed the opponent's head, although Duncan still scored 7 points, and Danny Green also hit two three-pointers, but Split's shots were all iron, which is why the Pacers once tied the score in the second quarter.

It's a pity that the Spurs always stand up on the bench with some strange players to shoot the basketball in some incredible postures, Ginobili in the first quarter, and Belinelli's turn in the second quarter, shortly after Belinelli came on the court, he used the breakthrough to cause Hibbert's foul, hit both free throws, and then two consecutive rounds under the defense of Pickled Pepper directly received the ball and shot, hitting two unreasonable three-pointers in a row outside the three-point line.

As a result, the Spurs scored 28 points in the second quarter, only two points behind the Pacers in a single quarter, so at halftime, the Pacers still trailed the opponent by 4 points due to the abnormal play in the first quarter of the game, and entered the intermission time with a score of 50:54.

At halftime, Coach Frank trained Hibbert fiercely, after all, he was beaten into a sieve by the opponent in front of a 38-year-old man, which is not something that should appear in a defensive gate, and also let the opponent grab the frontcourt rebounds in a row, which made Coach Frank even more unbearable, so Hibbert unfortunately became the target of the hair dryer.
