Chapter 367: Return to the Debut
In fact, this game can be regarded as a good lesson for Ye Xuan, the two strong teams in the east that he faced in front of him, either because the opponent did not have an obvious strong point to fight against him, or because the team had a little injury, so he was not particularly able to parry, so Ye Xuan was able to rely on his personal strength to achieve the final victory for the team, but when facing a real strong team, especially when the Cavaliers had multiple offensive points to control the game situation, Ye Xuan's solo fight is even less of a chance.
And speaking of this game, it was also because Ye Xuan had too many shots in the first two games, which led to a decline in his teammates' shooting opportunities, so that he couldn't find the feeling of the game, and Ye Xuan didn't pass the ball to his teammates after wearing a ball, and his teammates naturally felt cooler when they turned back and ran on the field, which was also the main reason why Ye Xuan couldn't feel a trace of help from his teammates in this game.
To sum up, basketball is still a game of five people after all, Rao is the basketball god of the year, Jordan, before there are no excellent helpers such as Pippen, he has always been suppressed by the bad boy army composed of Isaiah Thomas and Bill Lambier and others, so Ye Xuan also began to reflect on what happened a few days ago after this game, and the return of pickled peppers is actually not only an obstacle and competition for Ye Xuan, but also a kind of help.
After the end of this game, James was going to have a good chat with Ye Xuan, especially after he achieved an absolute advantage over the Pacers this season, Lao Zhan originally wanted to have a good laugh with Ye Xuan, but unfortunately the Pacers' schedule did not give them this opportunity, after this game, the Pacers had to rush back to Indiana non-stop, because they were going to play back-to-back against the Nets who lost several big players this season on the 22nd.
And since this game is a home game, if the Pacers take a certain lead, maybe Frank Vogel will replace the pickled pepper and let him get used to the feeling of being back on the court first. For the Pacers, the return of Pickle Peppers means that they are back to the invincible division that was invincible in the playoffs all the way last year and finally won the cup.
The time soon came to play with the Brooklyn Nets, after the game began, the Pacers led by Ye Xuan began to go crazy, although the current Nets still have Deron Williams and Brook Lopez to support the scene, so they still retain a certain amount of combat effectiveness, but after Delon was locked by Ye Xuan, and Lopez was guarded by Hibbert, the Nets became very vulnerable.
Originally, the Nets were a team struggling on the brink of the playoffs, hovering around eighth or ninth in the East. In terms of strength, it is not as good as the Pacers, and in this game, Ye Xuan and others are also full of energy and are ready to give Pickled Pepper a little more time to try their hands, so they play extremely hard.
After the first quarter of the game, 31:22, the Pacers led by 9 points, and when the game was finished in the second quarter, the Pacers suddenly opened the difference from 9 points to 20 points, and in the third quarter, Ye Xuan still started, and showed no mercy, expanding the lead to 28 points in one go, and then was replaced by Coach Frank, and at this time, it happened to be pickled pepper.
And it seems that it is also to let Pickle Pepper integrate into the team as soon as possible, so except for Ye Xuan being replaced, the team basically has no change, that is, simply arranging Shambaugh in the position of point guard, although Pickle Pepper has been absent from the battlefield for a long time, but after all, it is also the MVP of last year's finals, and he started his own performance after he got on the court, first after receiving Shambaugh's pass from the outside, he directly pulled it up as a 3-point shot, but unfortunately the shot was ironed, but the rebound was unexpectedly caught by Hibbert.
Hibbert did not hesitate, and immediately divided the ball, Solomon Hill received the ball and handed the ball back to Pickle Pepper, and after Pickle Pepper received the ball, he pulled it up again to make a three-pointer, and Alan Anderson, who defended Pickle Pepper, was unaware of it for a while, and was attacked by Pickle Pepper. After hitting the three-pointer, the crowd cheered for Pickle Pepper, if nothing else, but because he was Paul George.
In the subsequent game, Pickled Pepper also performed very well, although the hit rate does still need to be improved, and he is also a little rusty in terms of cooperation with his teammates, but after all, he is recovering from a major injury, and these things will naturally improve after slowly becoming proficient.
The game was over, because the Pacers played a huge advantage in the first half, so although Ye Xuan didn't play much in the second half, the Pacers still beat the opponent by 21 points. Ye Xuan played 26 minutes, got 29 points and 13 assists, after three crazy scoring performances, Ye Xuan finally understood the true meaning of basketball, and began to return to Ye Xuan, who was no longer obsessed with shooting.
And Pickled Pepper's side, the performance is also remarkable, playing time is only 12 minutes, but because his teammates are passing the ball to him, the number of shots has actually reached 11, a total of 14 points plus 3 assists, but Pickled Pepper has no rebounds in this game, probably because of the psychological shadow of the injury, so he doesn't dare to impact the inside line for the time being.
11 shots in exchange for 14 points, although the efficiency is a bit low, but at least it's not bad, after all, it only took one quarter of the game, and gradually found his state, it is estimated that after the next few games, pickled pepper will be able to officially return. At that time, the Pacers, who are already strong enough, will be able to attack the first place in the East again, although there are only 13-14 games left before the end of the season, and they are still four wins behind the Hawks, but if they can win them all, it is not certain.
The next day's newspapers were also full of news about the return of pickled peppers, for only one reason, that is, after the return of pickled peppers, the strength of the Pacers will undoubtedly skyrocket again, so the headlines of the newspaper are also very similar to "The Return of the King", "The Wolf is Coming", "Meet the Challenge" and other headlines have expressed their views on the return of pickled peppers from injury. Although there are also some discordant voices questioning the state and performance of Pickled Pepper after his return, and even comparing Rose to the Bulls, more people still look at the bright side.
