Chapter 375: Beating the Wizards

After receiving these rewards, Ye Xuan didn't rush to the lottery or anything like that, but just went to the prop shop to buy a dozen large physical recovery potions and two dozen small physical recovery potions again. Because these two things are Ye Xuan's most commonly used things recently, basically as soon as the CD is good, Ye Xuan will use it, and as it starts to enter the playoffs now, it should be a common thing to fight to the death when the time comes, this kind of thing must be very useful at critical moments, and it is also considered to be prepared to buy a little more now.

The time quickly came on April 19, and the Pacers welcomed their first-round opponent in the playoffs, the Wizards, at their home court, Consec Arena. At the beginning of the game, Hibbert and Gortat jumped at the same time, but the Polish hammer still failed to grab Hibbert, Hibbert jumped hard and directly gave the racket to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan immediately sped up after receiving the ball and prepared to give the Wizards a dismount, the Wizards were originally a little nervous in the face of the Pacers, but now they were raided by Ye Xuan, except for Wall who barely reacted, the other four did not react, and as a result, Ye Xuan surpassed Bill and the Brazilian Beast in a few steps, Then Wall, who leaned on to catch up and defend, was a layup, and the basketball spun around the basket and then fell into the basket.

In just 4 seconds of the opening game, the Pacers took advantage of Ye Xuan's surprise attack to fire the first shot of the series, looking back, the Wizards started from the inside, allowing the Polish Hammers to take the ball and play alone on the inside, but unfortunately the current Hibbert is not in a bad form, so the Polish Hammers do not have an advantage in physical confrontation, and the result is that he forced two hits and did not crash into it, and then Gortat forcibly turned around and hooked his hand to hit the iron, and the basketball was pocketed by Pickled Pepper.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that Ye Xuan's loyal dogleg Solomon Hill was re-pressed on the bench due to the return of Pickled Pepper, originally Coach Frank wanted Solomon Hill to start with Ye Xuan and others, but obviously put Solomon Hill on the bench and let him lead the substitutes to play together is a better choice, and although Solomon Hill is a substitute, the playing time has not been reduced much, and there are still 28-30 minutes of playing time per game, That's the equivalent of a super sixth man at the level of Crawford or Louis Williams.

Contrary to Solomon Hill, although Shambaugh appeared on the court as a starting point guard, his average playing time per game was not as good as that of Solomon Hill, usually after five or six minutes in the first quarter, Shambaugh would be replaced by Solomon Hill. Of course, this lineup is very variable, for example, when facing a strong team in the backcourt, in order to contain the opponent's backcourt, the Pacers will let Solomon Hill as the starter, and this is what it looks like when playing against the Wizards led by the backcourt with two guns.

Back to the game, after Pickle Pepper grabbed the rebound, he immediately handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan's speed is now very outstanding in the league, and after receiving the ball, he immediately rushed towards the opponent's half with full horsepower, Ye Xuan's unreasonable fast-break style of play made the Wizards a little uncomfortable for a while, although Wall and Porter's defense were not bad, but it still allowed Ye Xuan to find an opportunity to shoot in the middle of the two's bag, completed a frontcourt 1 hit 2, and scored two points.

Wizards head coach Randy Whitman off the court was also so anxious that he scratched his head, while loudly complaining that the players on the court were not active in defending, and at the same time wanted to ask the referee for an offensive foul on Ye Xuan, but unfortunately the referee didn't bother to pay attention to him, everyone was moving, even if there was physical contact, it should be a defensive foul, and Ye Xuan's head was not to blame.

However, the Wizards' reaction was relatively fast, and they immediately broke the scoring drought on the offensive end with a breakthrough after a block, and Wall's pass after the breakthrough successfully helped Bill on the outside to find an open opportunity, and Solomon Hill was blocked by the Brazilian beast when chasing Bill who was running without the ball, so he couldn't prevent the ball.

And looking back, the Pacers have no chance to attack quickly and sneak attack, because the opponent's defensive speed has also increased, but the Pacers are not a team that relies on fast attack to eat, Ye Xuan passed the ball to Pickle Pepper after controlling the ball and came to the front court, and then came directly to the low post to ask for the ball, Pickled Pepper's pass also arrived immediately, Ye Xuan began to hit Wall with his back after receiving the ball in the low post, Wall was originally shorter than Ye Xuan, plus Ye Xuan's inside back play skills are indeed top in the guard, so there is no surprise, Ye Xuan shook off Wall again and scored two points.

The first three shots were all hit, Ye Xuan's hand in this game was very hot, and the situation on the Wizards' side was completely opposite, although Beal hit a three-point shot on the first shot, but in the next few rounds, the Wizards once again fell into a strange circle of shooting iron, first Wall broke through and missed the shot, and then Beal also missed two consecutive shots, the most embarrassing thing was that Gortat's back turned around and shot after picking up the rebound in the front court on the inside and was slapped out by Ye Xuan, who came back to make up for the defense.

The Wizards' offense was blocked, but the Pacers' offense was thriving, not only Ye Xuan alone even made the Wizards have no power to fight back, but also Solomon Hill's fatal three-pointer on the outside, Pickled Pepper also comes to catch the ball from time to time to play Porter, and Hibbert on the inside can occasionally seize the opportunity to hit the opponent, so after 7-8 minutes of playing in the first quarter, the game became one-sided. The only thing that was left was a one-sided massacre. Because the Wizards scored only eight points until the eighth minute, except for one three-pointer from Beal, only Wall hit a two-pointer, and the other three-pointer was scored from the free throw line.

Speaking of free throws, the Wizards have got 8 free throws and only shot three of them, which is one of the reasons for their low morale, and the Pacers, on the side, are full of firepower, in 8 minutes, in addition to Ye Xuan has 12 points and 3 assists, Solomon Hill also scored 6 points, Pickled Pepper scored 7 points, plus Hibbert's 4 points, the Pacers have scored 29 points, the first quarter of the game has not been played, the Pacers led the opponent by 21 points 29:8, I can't help but feel the strong strength of the Pacers.
