Chapter 252: Finally No Need to Chop Empty

Ye Xuan, who played 30 minutes in the first three quarters of the game, actually began to feel a little tired after being replaced, although he had already used a small physical recovery potion, but being marked by Batum, an opponent who was much taller than himself, also made Ye Xuan's consumption relatively large, but fortunately, the Pacers' current lead was enough for Ye Xuan to take a good rest.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the opponent put Lillard on the court, because Lillard was indeed a little uncomfortable to be defended by Ye Xuan today, so taking advantage of Ye Xuan's absence, replacing Lillard and letting him take the benches to grab points is also a good choice. It's a pity that Lillard didn't know if he didn't watch Huang Li go out today, not only was he uncomfortable when facing Ye Xuan, but he didn't take advantage of it when facing Starkey, who came off the bench, which gave Ye Xuan a lot of rest.

Therefore, Ye Xuan waited until the fourth quarter when the game had been played for 3 minutes before he was replaced by Coach Frank, because at this time the opponent also replaced his main force. Obviously, the opponent is preparing to enter the final decisive moment in advance, but unfortunately they still didn't expect that Ye Xuan still retains nearly 50% of his physical strength at this time, which means that even if Ye Xuan has been playing with all his strength for 7 or 8 minutes at this time, there will be no physical problems.

When Ye Xuan played, the Pacers were still 5 points ahead of the opponent, although the opponent recovered 5 points within three minutes, but with Ye Xuan's re-appearance, the Pacers regained their position. I have to say that the opponent still has a lot of thighs in the team, so although Ye Xuan played, the pressure on the Pacers on the defensive end is still quite large, except for Ye Xuan's absolute advantage when facing Lillard, the other opponents are basically in a passive defensive state.

Aldridge has scored 27 points in this game, and this is still when the Pacers have changed defenses, and if the Pacers still let West defend Aldridge, it is a question of whether the Pacers can still take the lead now.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan's strong point completely locked the opponent's second leader, causing Lillard to be a little suspicious of life in this game, not only did he not have any threat to the Pacers on the offensive end, but he also began to leak on the defensive end, which also gave Shambaught several unguarded shooting opportunities, Ye Xuan of course would not let his teammates down, as long as his teammates had a chance, Ye Xuan's pass was immediately sent over, so Shambaugh's score in this game also came to 15 points.

And when Ye Xuan faced Batum, although he did not have an advantage in height and physique, Ye Xuan was still able to use his footwork and the high-arc shooting talent he had just acquired to attack. Therefore, although he suffered a loss in physical confrontation, Ye Xuan's offensive efficiency was not greatly affected.

So when there were 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers not only did not chase back the original 5-point difference, but were also expanded by the Pacers to 8 points between the two teams, and the Trail Blazers thought that Ye Xuan should be physically exhausted at this time, so they also organized a final counterattack, but they did not expect that Ye Xuan seized the opportunity to rush to grab rebounds with all their might, and beat the opponent twice in a row to quickly counterattack, expanding the difference between the two teams to more than 10 points in one fell swoop.

The final result was naturally that the Pacers won 109:101 on the road, Ye Xuan played a total of 39 minutes in this game, scored 44 points and 11 assists in one fell swoop, and the most important thing is that Ye Xuan also sent a whopping 6 steals in this game, it seems that Ye Xuan's 'Michael Carter Williams' steal talent has gradually become proficient, and after combining Ye Xuan's defensive talent, he has played more powerful than the original owner.

Ye Xuan finally didn't continue his empty slashing journey, and after losing the game against the Cavaliers, the Pacers set sail again and won a wave of two consecutive victories. And those bricks who have been clamoring that the Pacers are starting to enter a period of weakness, and Ye Xuan's ability is not enough to continue to lead this Pacers team to continue to win, was suddenly slapped in the face, after all, although the Trail Blazers don't look particularly strong, but his record tells everyone that he is really strong, because they are still ranked third in the West after losing to the Pacers, and they are still behind Western giants such as the Rockets, Grizzlies, and even the Spurs.

After the game against the Trail Blazers, the Pacers did not return to Indiana because they were about to have another back-to-back road trip, and on December 6, the Pacers had to rush to the Sacramento Kings to challenge the Kings.

This season's Kings are still aiming to rebuild, although last season they had a very rare team with three players who averaged 20+ per game, which can be regarded as another Big Three team in the league, but the Kings' top management obviously still has no confidence in the current lineup, so they still choose to rebuild. The result was to send Isaiah Thomas, who had begun to grow rapidly, to the Suns at the price of cabbage. And Cousins and Guy are obviously a little dissatisfied with the team's approach, so both of them are considering leaving, and even some time ago, there were media rumors that the Pacers were interested in bringing in Cousins, which made Hibbert nervous, and he went to the old man to confirm it.

It turned out that it was just a tabloid stuff to attract attention. In fact, because the Pacers are now being dragged into the top four in the East by Ye Xuan without pickled peppers, football experts from the outside world have also been supporting the Pacers, and Ye Xuan is a little drooling at the endless trading plans, but unfortunately these trading plans can only be seen, after all, as long as the managers of other teams are not cramping, basically this kind of transaction will not appear.

The Pacers played very easily in this game, because DeMarcus Cousins was directly injured, and only one Guy was struggling to support the Kings on the court, which is obviously not the opponent of the current momentum of the Pacers, although Ben McCollum's performance in this game was remarkable, so that the Kings saw the hope of rebuilding, but it is undeniable that the Kings want to rely on the existing lineup to make the playoffs in the West is obviously still lacking.
