After the Pacers swept the Wizards, the outside world is hyping that the Pacers are the favorites to win the championship this year, especially after Ye Xuan won the ultimate award of the season MVP of the regular season, the call for the Pacers is even higher, and now in the semifinals, facing an Hawks makes them lose a battle, and suddenly those who have won consecutive games have hid when the Pacers have won consecutive games. The 'inverted leaf faction' popped up all at once, accusing Ye Xuan of controlling the ball, which led to the rigidity of the team's tactics, and on the other hand, saying that Ye Xuan's regular season MVP data were all brushed out, and began to slander Ye Xuan's strength.

In fact, Ye Xuan has encountered this kind of thing many times, and he is a little strange, but after losing this game, Ye Xuan did have some reflections, first of all, the way he handled the ball was a little too casual when facing the bag of Teague and the little yellow hair Schroeder, in fact, it was also because he was used to passing in the regular season, so as soon as he encountered the bag, he passed the ball to Solomon Hill, but Solomon Hill did not feel good in this game, which led to the team's final loss.

Secondly, the main reason is that the Pacers were not able to contain the Hawks' two interior cores on the inside, and these two people teamed up to score 55 points, 21 rebounds and 12 assists in this game, which is the key factor for the Hawks to achieve the final victory, and defending the two of them, Ye Xuan of course has no way to roll up his sleeves and go on it, he can only hope for Hibbert and West on the inside, but West's state has become a big problem. So Ye Xuan is almost scratching his head now.

In fact, when Ye Xuan encountered this kind of thing before, the first thing was to improve his strength, after all, only his own strength is strong enough, he can ensure that the team has at least one strong point in operation, but later this season's experience made him understand that basketball is not something that can be played alone, so he hopes to find a breakthrough in solving this matter from his teammates.

Of course, Ye Xuan would not be stunned and ran to West, after all, West's attitude this season has been very obvious, he is now in a state of retirement, and Coach Frank would have pressed him on the bench and not let him play if he didn't know who to replace him for the time being. And in fact, Scola, who has a good relationship with Ye Xuan in private, also expressed his dissatisfaction with Ye Xuan, feeling that Coach Frank is still a little too indecisive, and has not taken action to solve this matter in West, which led to everyone's poor state in the last game.

Ye Xuan actually began to be dissatisfied with West as early as the middle of the regular season, but the communication with West in private did not achieve any effect, and West's attitude towards the retirement state also seemed very unpleasant, so Ye Xuan was ready to have a good chat with Coach Frank this time, and strive to let Coach Frank make a decision on this matter quickly.

However, before going to see Coach Frank, Ye Xuan still felt that he should talk to Pickled Pepper first, otherwise it would cause some unnecessary troubles and misunderstandings at that time. So after returning to Indiana, Ye Xuan drove to Pickled Pepper's house at noon the next day and made a visit.

After entering the room and saying a few words, Ye Xuan also directly chose to get straight to the point, "Paul, you should also be able to think of the purpose of my visit this time, do you think that in David's state now, is he still suitable to be a starter?" ”

Pickled Pepper heard Ye Xuan's words, and was also stunned, obviously Pickled Pepper, who only entered the league in 10 years, did not fully adapt to these intrigues in the team, after all, whether it was from Danny Granger to Pickled Pepper or after Pickled Pepper was injured, there was no friction in the change of power, and there was no locker room incident such as Kobe and O'Neal, so Pickled Pepper is still quite 'pure'.

However, after replacing Danny Granger as the Pacers boss for two years, he also knew some things about this, after Ye Xuan raised this question, Pickle Pepper pondered for a moment, and then said, "Ye, I don't want to say more about what happened when I was recuperating from my injury, but in the period since my comeback, David's state is indeed worse day by day, but what do you mean by suddenly bringing it up now?" ”

As soon as Ye Xuan heard what Pickle Pepper said, he knew that Pickled Pepper was also not very optimistic about West, so he continued to start talking, "Paul, you also know that our goal this season is still the championship, and our road to winning the championship last season was not smooth, you think about Stephenson's things at that time, right, so I think that instead of dragging it out all the time, it is better to cut through the mess quickly, directly replace David, and then let Scola play the starter, and let O'Neal Jr. also top it for a while, I think you'll probably be able to play power forward for a while, so that we can not only speed up, but also let some of the frustration in the team go away. ”

After chatting for a while at Pickled Pepper's house, they had a simple lunch together, and then the two went out together at two o'clock in the afternoon to prepare to go to the stadium to gather for training. As a result, Frank Vogel actually wanted to put West on the bench for a long time, but at that time, he thought of the harmony in the team and the attitude of Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper, so he didn't attack West for the time being, and now the two cores have come directly to him to ask for West, and of course he will not refuse.

So after the physical training and tactical session, Frank Vogel directly called the players and announced the starting line-up for the next game, and Luis Scola, a 33-year-old veteran, was promoted to the starting line-up. In fact, Ye Xuan's approach does not mean that Ye Xuan is so unkind, it is really because West's practice has affected his own vital interests, so he has to do it. Isn't the reason why Coach Pickle and Coach Frank agree with this opinion because the attitude shown by West himself is so disappointing? I have to say that the words of the players who were traded are indeed the only truth of the NBA - "It's all just business." ”
