Ye Xuan got nearly 30 minutes of playing time in this game, but Ye Xuan's performance in this game was not particularly ideal, he only scored 23 points in 16 shots, and the efficiency was much lower than last season, but in this game Ye Xuan got 6 assists and 10 rebounds again, although many of the rebounds were grabbed by teammates to help them grab them, but they were also double-doubles, and the rebounds in two consecutive games were double-doubles, Ye Xuan's changes did make many people look sideways.

After this game, the Pacers can finally return to Indiana, and they have two home games in their next three games. Although the next two games are back-to-back games, the Pacers who are fighting at home will still have some advantages, after returning to Indiana, Ye Xuan also began to calculate his rewards, and now he has more than 800 days of survival time, although there is still a survival time gap of nearly 2,000 points from the complete repair, but as long as he can slowly and smoothly brush the data like this, this goal should not take long to be reached.

On December 15th, the Pacers ushered in the challenge of the Heat at the Conseco Arena, the Heat team is actually very sad, last season James left the South Coast with talent, the Heat want to rely on the dual core of Bosh and Wade, plus a quasi-star player, to play their own style. However, Boshwade took turns to be injured, and the team's record plummeted, and in the end, they did not make the playoffs. Not good, of course!

However, this season, the Heat learned from the pain, and Riley still stuck to his idea, wanting to rely on Wade and Bosh as the core to continue to attack the championship, mainly because they had a big discovery last season, that is, they picked up a Hassan Whiteside.

Although the team was miserable last season, the team saw the direction in a short period of time and made a few good moves. One is that he almost didn't lose to star point guard Dragic. Dragic is a super guard who can play at an All-Star level as long as he is given enough balls, and his blocking ability is extremely good, and he is definitely a top 10 point guard in the league. Except for Curry, Wei Shao, Paul and Ye Xuan, no point guard can be said to be better than the current Dragic, you have to understand that the top 5 can be.

Then the team picked up a white edge for nothing, and the Heat have never had a decent interior except for Bosh, and the other interior lines are too old and too weak. How strong is the white edge? This year, he didn't play enough games to rank in my top 50, but the big white side PER 26.3, S5.3, the true hit rate was 61.9%, the usage rate was 21.2, and the win-loss ratio in 100 rounds reached a terrifying 20! If you were to rank him, White Edge's score would be a horrible 99.1, what level is this? Top 10 stars in the league, No. 1 center!

Moreover, his shooting rate is as high as 76% from the basket, 50% of his two points from close range, 25% of his rebounding rate, and 9% of his blocking rate! Do you remember how many arms are in them...... The Heat have this new addition of internal and external strength, plus Wade and Bosh, as well as McRoberts' return from injury, the team has brought in Smalls and Gerald Green. There is now every reason to believe that the Heat will be the Cavaliers and Pacers' biggest enemies in the East.

Although Wade's contract is on the high side, he is the soul of the team and has nothing to say. What is really in doubt is the issue of the team's wing rotation. Although Chalmers is not good in various ways, he is still qualified as a backup point guard. How much oil is left in Rohrdeng? Did Gerald Green play Wade off the bench or Deng off the bench? There are only 5 people rotating in the three positions of 123, which is still too thin compared to the 6 people rotating in the 2 positions in the front court. There is also a cliché problem, that is, Wade's knee, he really can't handle the task of the team's first main attacker, and don't give up the team's strongest offensive initiation point - Dragic's blocking and pick-and-roll because of feelings. In general, the team has found so much instant combat power with great fanfare this season, and it must want to do a big job.

But looking at the lineup, the Heat team's lineup is definitely the most famous team in the league now, there are 5 stars who have been selected as All-Stars first, Wade and Bosh naturally don't need to say much, Xiao Si also beat Yao Ming to win the best rookie in his rookie season that year, and Xiao Si was also one of the best power forwards in the league when he was in the Suns, but unfortunately now due to physical and injury reasons, it is gradually away from people's sight. Dragic and Roel Deng are actually very good players, and Deng was the boss for a while when he was with the Bulls, even though the Bulls were half a fish belly at that time. In addition to these five All-Stars, Gerald Green is the dunk king, and Whiteside is the up-and-coming super center, this lineup is definitely comparable to the Dream Team.

However, one of the biggest problems with their current squad is that these stars are a little older and not in particularly good physical condition, so if they really want to perform, they need to hope to stay healthy. Last season, it was Wadebosh who took turns to be injured, which caused the team's record to plummet, and Xiao Si who got it this season is also a perennial injured master, so I really want to be able to tap all the combat effectiveness of this team, Spoelstra has a long way to go.

Regardless, this game is also a challenge for the Pacers, who are now very close to the Pacers in the East, and the two teams are now direct competitors.

The game started quickly, and the Pacers faced the Heat at home, who were only half a win behind them, and the game was broadcast live in the United States, so the attention was very high. At the beginning of the game, Bai Bian was indeed very powerful, beating the old boxing champion and slapping the basketball to Wade, Wade turned his hand and handed the ball to Dragic, and then slowly ran to the front court, today Wade was against Ye Xuan, so he didn't think about forcing the attack, he was looking for opportunities.

After Dragic controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he called Bosh to help block and dismantle, Bosh raised a gear, completely stuck Rondo behind him, and took Jordan Hill away who came to make up for the defense, and then turned back to look at the moon and passed the ball back to Bosh who was looking for a vacancy after the outside block and dismantle, Bosh completely ignored Rondo, who was nearly 20 centimeters shorter than himself, and shot the ball directly on the spot.

I have to say that Dragic is indeed a very good point guard, he can always find teammates and comfortably send the ball to teammates who get open positions, in fact, Ye Xuan's passing is also Dragic's skill. Dragic should have been inspired a lot when he played on the bench with the Suns before, after all, by the side of Nash, the son of the wind, he will learn more or less by word and deed.

The Pacers serve in the backcourt, Rondo controls the basketball and comes to the frontcourt, and now their main point of attack is at the point of pickle pepper, Ye Xuan is now transforming into a pitcher, so the number of attacks with the ball has become very small, on the one hand, Ye Xuan himself in order to prevent himself from being injured again, so he decided not to make a large change of direction for the time being, so the heavy responsibility of attacking with the ball falls on Rondo and Pickle Pepper.

Pickled pepper took the pass, and immediately beckoned Jordan Hill to come forward to block the dismantle, after the block was completed, Pickled Pepper successfully passed Rohr Deng, and then strode into the penalty area, in the face of Bosh's supplemental defense, Pickled Pepper was not in a hurry to shoot, but handed the ball to Jordan Hill who followed behind with a low hand, Jordan Hill received the ball and took a one-handed slam dunk to dunk the ball in, but this ball actually has some dangers, because the white side next to it almost came back, if it weren't for Jordan Hill's rush in and there was no obstruction, If he doesn't know, he's going to be slapped and flying.

Looking back, the Heat tried to repeat the old trick again, but this time the Pacers changed their defense very quickly, and it immediately became Ye Xuan to make up for Bosh, and then Rondo to defend Wade, so Bosh blocked and dismantled the mid-range catch and shot and finally ended in iron. Ye Xuan was ready to play a fast break after completing the defense, but he didn't expect that Jordan Hill and Tyson Chandler on the inside line couldn't grab the rebound together, but let the white side grab the rebound, and then score the ball directly, otherwise the ball went in, and it also caused the foul of Jordan Hill who came over to make up for it.

Chandler grabbed the rebound in the front court, and then handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan slowly controlled the ball to the front court, and then passed the ball to Rondo, after passing the ball hand by hand, Ye Xuan took advantage of the situation to help Rondo block and dismantle, and then immediately dismantled it and ran to the bottom corner, Rondo rushed directly to the inside line of the Heat team, and the Heat team was suddenly in chaos, indeed Dragic got Nash's true pass on offense, but his defensive skills were the same as above, and he also got Nash's true pass, that is, his defense was really not good, It also limits him and makes it impossible for him to be a super point guard like Paul.

The Heat team was confused, the Pacers' opportunity came, Rondo inserted the ball inside, and also attracted a lot of defense from the opponent, Ye Xuan received the ball and shot this unguarded three-point shot in the bottom corner, in fact, since Ye Xuan became famous, he basically did not enjoy the treatment of his teammates passing his point guard, and then he was able to brew another second before shooting, many times it was either forced to shoot by himself, or he got the opportunity to shoot after he created the opportunity, Instead of being like this ball, you just have to stand in the bottom corner and wait.

Easily hit this ball, and the Pacers' morale also soared, after all, the opponent showed that the strength was still very good. But looking back, the Pacers still haven't been able to defend the opponent's offense, and the Heat's five people are all offensive points, two more than the Pacers' side, after all, the Pacers' interior basically has no offensive ability, all of them are based on defense and rebounding.

This offense is also a microcosm of the situation in the first half of the game, the Pacers played very passive in the first half, Ye Xuan's role on the court is more than to defend, rather than to attack, mainly because he is afraid that he will be injured again, and Jordan Hill on the inside is a little disadvantaged in the face of a flexible big forward like Bosh, the pace can't keep up, and he has to be pulled out by the opponent, but fortunately, Chandler can come to guard on the inside, so he didn't let the opponent wreak havoc under his basket. At the end of the first half, the Pacers fell behind the Heat by 6 points at 65:59 due to the sluggish defensive end, and the Heat's offensive efficiency today is indeed very good, especially worth mentioning, it is their nine-fingered maniac Gerard Green, who came off the bench to hit three points in front of Solomon Hill after the dunk king came on the court, causing the Pacers' defensive arrangement to miss, and the bench lineup, which has always been very dominant, has not had an effect in the face of this unexpected situation.

Fortunately, in the second half, Coach Frank was very decisive to replace Jordan Hill and replace it with Solomon Hill, so that Pickle Pepper could entangle with Bosh, and Solomon Hill took over the position of small forward and continued to play, so that the flexibility of the Pacers instantly rose a notch, and the game was much smoother, and the efficiency of the Pacers in the second half also rebounded, of course, the most important point is that the effect of the rotation is very good, So Solomon Hill, who has been pressed on the bench, has found an opportunity to prove himself, he has been playing as a starter last season, and this season he was suddenly squeezed to the bench is obviously not very happy, but after the second half of this game let him return to the main team, his play really made everyone very amazed, in the second half alone, Solomon Hill played 18 minutes, got 16 points, 4 rebounds and two steals, the efficiency is very amazing, it seems to be the Pacers' fourth All-Star backcourt.

Due to the Pacers' flexible change of formation and Solomon Hill's sudden outburst, the Pacers quickly chased the difference back when they trailed the opponent by 6 points in the first half, and overtook the score with about four minutes left in the third quarter. Therefore, their physical strength is not enough to support them to complete the overtake.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the challenged opponent again on their home court, and while securing their standings, the Heat fell from the fifth place in the East to the sixth place in the East. After the game, in addition to reporting on several outstanding players on the field, the media also focused on Frank Vogel's change of formation, which almost praised him as a flower.
