Chapter 226: Silence erupts

After a day of practice, Ye Xuan's speed has improved slightly, but in the training of difficult shots, Ye Xuan's progress can be said to be fast, and I don't know if it is because Ye Xuan had Nick Yang's difficult shooting talent before, or Ye Xuan's difficult layups trained during the holidays, Ye Xuan only took a few hours of training to fully master Kobe Bryant's difficult shooting talent.

Another day later, the Pacers set off again for the TD North Shore Garden in Boston to take on the Celtics. Last season, after the Celtics experienced the pain of trading out all their main players, the Celtics have not eased up this season, but as the likes of Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart have gradually grown, the Celtics have also regained hope.

However, today, Ye Xuan was obviously not ready to continue to accept defeat, so as soon as he started, Ye Xuan broke out with an amazing attack**. In the face of Rajon Rondo, Ye Xuan directly used his continuous feints and superior height to the opponent, directly passed the opponent, and then forced a jump in front of Kelly Olynyk to hit a difficult layup, scoring the first goal of the game for the Pacers.

And the Celtics have no advantage on the inside, so this can be regarded as good news for the Pacers, in the face of this kind of opponent, Hibbert can still do what he should do on the defensive end even if he is not in good shape, so the Pacers can be regarded as an all-round advantage in the position.

Different from the previous two aggrieved games, the Pacers played very firmly and very simply at the beginning of this game, which was to let Ye Xuan keep holding the ball alone to play the opponent, and constantly use his opposition advantage to create offensive opportunities for himself and his teammates. And Ye Xuan's offense in this game is obviously much stronger than the previous two games, basically it is not the kind of opportunity that there is no way to shoot, Ye Xuan has chosen to force his own shot. The result is also very good, with the blessing of the talent of difficult layups and difficult shots, Ye Xuan's shooting rate is very good, and when the first quarter of the game was only 6 minutes old, Ye Xuan has already scored 14 points, although he only contributed 1 assist.

After entering the TV pause, the Celtics also quickly changed their defensive strategy, for Ye Xuan's unreasonable offense, Brad Stevens chose to directly trap Ye Xuan, at least let Ye Xuan restrain a little.

On the Pacers' side, Coach Frank still hasn't changed anything, just let Ye Xuan play by himself, after all, Ye Xuan is now the trump card in his hand, so Coach Frank doesn't want any other tactics, a core tactic is always to let that core play freely.

After the pause, Ye Xuan's attack was still very strong, even in the face of Smart and Rondo's double bag, Ye Xuan still chose to forcibly break through without hesitation, and today Ye Xuan's hand was not bad, no matter how he shot, so the Celtics' bag and clamp tactics did not achieve any effect. In the first quarter of the game, Ye Xuan directly played the whole quarter of the game, and in these 12 minutes, Ye Xuan had already scored 21 points, and also sent 4 assists, leading the Pacers to a 7-point lead over the opponent at 33:26.

I have to say that the Celtics' offense is still good, under Rondo's combing, their offense is still impressive, if it weren't for Ye Xuan's performance in the first quarter of today's game was too eye-catching, maybe the Celtics wouldn't have fallen behind in the first quarter of the game. But then again, all of the Pacers' scores in the first quarter of the game were actually related to Ye Xuan, which is also what makes the media very excited, because judging from the performance in the first quarter, their news today should not be worried.

However, Coach Frank would not choose to Ye Xuan to death, so Ye Xuan did not play at the beginning of the second quarter, and it was not until almost halfway through the second quarter that Coach Frank took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to replace Ye Xuan again. At this time, the Celtics still trailed the Pacers by 6 points, and the excellent play of Smith and Solomon Hill prevented the Celtics from finding a chance to close the score.

Ye Xuan immediately began to exert his power again after being substituted on the field, after receiving the sideline serve, Ye Xuan chose to let his teammates pull away, and then forcibly broke through Rondo, after being caught by the opponent, Ye Xuan did not rush to pass the ball, but calmly took a step back, opened a little distance from the opponent, and then started Rondo in front of him again, and gently threw the ball into the sky after entering the penalty area, O'Neal Jr., who had completely vacated the assist, completed an aerial relay.

Later, on the defensive end, Ye Xuan used his defense and speed advantage to successfully break Olynyk's return pass, and the ball that was cut off by Ye Xuan was picked up by Solomon Hill, and Ye Xuan had already started to run fast at this time, Bradley of course did not want to let the opponent's fast attack dunk successfully, so he desperately chased back, but unfortunately Ye Xuan's speed is not what it used to be, Rao is Bradley's desperate pursuit, and he was not able to catch up with Ye Xuan's footsteps, and Solomon Hill's pass was also timed. When Ye Xuan stepped into the opponent's three-point line, Hill's pass happened to come over, and Ye Xuan was not polite, jumping high and pressing the ball into the basket with both hands.

Between one attack and one defense, Ye Xuan instantly widened the difference between the two teams to ten points. Although Rondo assisted Jared Sallinger to shoot a three-point shot in the bottom corner after that, relieving the Celtics, Ye Xuan's side did not give them a chance to breathe, and immediately controlled the basketball to the Celtics' half, and faced the defense of Brand Buss and shot directly outside the three-point line.

Fortunately, the offensive speed of the Pacers slowly slowed down, on the one hand, because Ye Xuan's physical strength gradually began to be a little insufficient, and on the other hand, because the Pacers are now in an advantage, so stabilizing the rhythm and playing steadily is also a tactic to ensure that his team is ahead. By the end of the second quarter, Ye Xuan had 34 points and 6 assists, and the Pacers also led the opponent by 12 points at 59:47.
