In the top eight teams in the East, in fact, the best game for the Pacers is the Bulls, because the Bulls don't have that kind of outstanding players on the outside, they are not like the Wizards or the Raptors, who can pose a threat to the Pacers on the offensive end, thus forcing the Pacers to strengthen their defense, and then their pressure on the defensive end will be reduced. And the Bucks, a young janissary, also have their characteristics, that is, they have very strong points, which can frustrate the Pacers' offense and defense at both ends, and they need to spend a lot of energy on defense, so it is not easy to completely open up the point difference.

But the Bulls are different, their current core can be said to be Jimmy Butler, but Butler's ball-handling offense has never been particularly reliable, and now after Rose's return, his ball-handling offensive opportunities have decreased, let alone practiced. And although the interior looks very powerful, an All-Star plus a best defensive player, but Noah's state this season can really only be described as free fall, in fact, since he won the best defensive player, his state has always been problematic, last season averaged only 9 points and 9 boards per game, 7 points and 4 boards less than the best defensive player that season, which is simply a diving decline.

Of course, the most terrible thing is Rose's point, Rose's current offensive efficiency is also miserable, the Bulls lose an average of 5.3 points when Rose is on the floor, this data is absolutely intolerable for the core of a team, but there is no way, the Bulls can't find a home even if they want to trade Rose now, after all, Rose's $20 million salary because of Rose's terms is not just talking.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, although the opponent barely stabilized some of the situation after Ye Xuan and others were replaced, they still lost 14 points in a single quarter, and the most exaggerated thing is that they actually conceded as many as 42 points in the first quarter of the game, which is the highest score they have lost in the first quarter of the season. But this is indeed the characteristics of the Pacers, in the first quarter of the game crazy offense, so that the opponent felt enough pressure, and then in the second quarter of the game and the third quarter of the game suddenly improved their defense, in one fell swoop to defeat the opponent, this season the Pacers in the first quarter of the game to score more than 40 points in the game has been as high as 5 games, and these five games The Pacers finally won the game, this will be the sixth game, the ending is expected to be no exception.

In the second quarter of the game, as the Pacers re-replaced the main force, the resistance of the Bulls was finally suppressed, and their benches did play well, and the bench group of the Pacers played back and forth, among which the play of Ty-Gibson and Mirotic and others did play a great role, and although Xiaobu's defense is indeed a big colander, his offense is indeed very eye-catching, no wonder he is so thin but can still find his place in the NBA.

However, after the main players of the Pacers were replaced, the Bulls had a hard time, they had to hold on very reluctantly, and now the opponent's main lineup was rested and then killed, and the Bulls couldn't resist it in an instant, in just 7 and a half minutes, the Pacers scored 28 points again, while the Bulls only scored 17 points, and won the Bulls by 8 points in a single quarter.

At halftime, the Pacers also returned to the locker room with a 22-point difference, this game is a typical Pacers-style victory, the first quarter of the game put enough pressure on the opponent, so that the opponent had to adjust on defense, and as a result, in the second quarter of the game, he used his own defense and personal ability to open the situation, and won the game in one fell swoop, in fact, this situation has appeared in the game with teams such as the Bucks and the Pistons, but unfortunately the Pacers can be said to be a Yang conspiracy, There is no way to crack it without absolute strength.

The game in the second half was much simpler, the main players of the Pacers played again, but they only played 5 minutes and were directly replaced, these five minutes were actually used to brush data for Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper, Ye Xuan's game was basically based on passing at the beginning, so he brushed his tenth assist shortly after the start of the third quarter of the game, and Pickle Pepper was the same, he also improved his data to 20+5+5 before being replaced.

The Bulls actually knew that the general trend of this game had gone, so they didn't struggle, but also chose to replace the main team, let the benches go on the court to find a feeling, the game was over, due to the excellent performance of the Pacers in the first two quarters of the game, so the Pacers won the final victory at home with 124:101, a 23-point victory, but also made the Pacers' second position in the East consolidated, and because the Cavaliers lost the game with the Warriors yesterday, So they have only one win left in the lead, and if the Pacers continue to win so strongly, then the first place in the East is just around the corner.

Ye Xuan still got a double-double in this game, but he didn't grab much rebounds, mainly because the opponent's interior line is still more active Mirotic and Ty Gibson, and his playing time is relatively limited, so Ye Xuan's data is finally fixed on 19 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, but although Ye Xuan's scores and assists have not entered the top ten in the data ranking this season, Ye Xuan's steals are still ranked 7th in the league, He is now averaging 2.1 steals per game, although there are still a lot of people in front of him, but considering that Ye Xuan has only played an average of 29 minutes per game this season, all this makes sense.

After the game with the Bulls, Ye Xuan had to face a choice, seeing that the time was coming to a low level in December, now Ye Xuan needs to consider his physical problems, or use the broken and then stand capsule now, and then endure until the playoffs are about to come back, and then kill all sides. Either you have to restrain your desire to attack and ensure that you don't get injured as much as possible, so that you can avoid injury and then play in the playoffs, but in this way, if Ye Xuan gets injured again when he gets close to the playoffs, he really can't be saved.

In the face of this uncertainty, Ye Xuan also began to be a little worried, after all, he lost the championship last season because of injury, if he still lost the championship this season because of this reason, then Ye Xuan really can't get rid of the pot. But fortunately, it is not yet the end of January, so everything can be seen again and then planned.

But according to Murphy's Law, Ye Xuan's chance of being injured in this situation is obviously much greater than the chance of not being injured, and if he enters the playoffs with hidden injuries, he will be at risk of falling at any time, and I am afraid that the tragedy of last season will be repeated. Ye Xuan also thought that he might be injured in the next game, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, on December 29th, they welcomed the challenge of the Wizards at home, the last time they played against the Wizards, it was not long after the last game with the Wizards, and the last game the Pacers won was relatively easy, but in this game, they did not expect that they would lose the most important member of the team.

Soon after the start of the game, Ye Xuan found that Wall was particularly active today, which made Ye Xuan, who was not responsible for defending Wall, feel some pressure, Rondo's defense today did not play any role at all, and as soon as he started, Wall hit the ball with two consecutive rounds of singles, so Frank Vogel on the sidelines also chose to let Ye Xuan and Rondo switch defenses, let Rondo defend Bill, who was slightly weaker, and Ye Xuan was to defend Wall, who suddenly broke out today.

But Ye Xuan's defense was not able to lock Wall to death, although it made Wall's breakthrough more difficult, but it was still able to cause some damage to the Pacers' interior from time to time, which made Jordan Hill on the inside line also under great pressure. After being used by Wall to quickly change direction again, Ye Xuan was also a little upset, and felt that his dominance in the position of point guard had been challenged, so he decisively wanted to fight back at the opponent on the offensive end, and the way to fight back was naturally to pass again and again, so with all his strength Ye Xuan suddenly came out again.

After deciding, Ye Xuan naturally began to pack up on the offensive end, and after half the court, he directly beckoned for the ball, Rondo naturally knew what Ye Xuan meant, and immediately passed the ball over, but it was not Wall who defended Ye Xuan, but Bradley Beal, Ye Xuan didn't care so much at this time, he suddenly started after receiving the ball, and then quickly shook Bill away with a flower-piercing butterfly step, and then easily hit a mid-range shot to score two points.

And looking back, after Wall found that Ye Xuan also began to fight back, he was even more energetic, and he also took care of the ball to the front court, and then used various large emergency stop changes to break through, although Ye Xuan also tried his best to defend against the opponent, but it was too difficult for the defensive end to keep up with this rhythm, Ye Xuan was finally shaken away, and Wall did not choose to continue to attack the basket after shaking Ye Xuan away this time, but chose to pass, and then Bill hit an empty mid-range shot, I think it's also because he wants to save some physical strength to confront Ye Xuan.

The first quarter of the game started in the fourth minute, and the top point guards of the two leagues began the peak duel between the two of them, here Wall forced a breakthrough and sent an assist, over there Ye Xuan immediately concocted a breakthrough to help his teammates shoot the basket, here Wall used the block to force the basket to cause the Pacers interior player to foul, and Ye Xuan immediately used a feint on the outside to shake the defender up, and then forcibly cheated three free throws.

Although it is precisely because the Pacers have always been controlled by Ye Xuan that they have not been able to play the advantages of several other points, but the audience is also watching with relish, after all, although they are fans of the Pacers, no fan wants to watch the team clock out of work after two and a half quarters every time they come to the scene, and then enter a boring and long garbage time, and now this kind of anxious game is more suitable for their taste.

In the first quarter of the game, the two played until the end of the whole quarter, and then they were both replaced to rest, due to the super performance of the two on the offensive end, the data of the two is also very amazing, Ye Xuan is playing soy sauce for more than two minutes in front of him, so the data is not as bright as Wall's, but he has still contributed 15 points and 7 assists in a single quarter, which is also the reason why the Pacers scored 35 points in a single quarter, and Wall's side is more reflected in his passing, His first-quarter stats were on the verge of a double-double, with 13 points and 9 assists, helping the Wizards score 39 points in the first quarter, four points ahead of the Pacers.

Coincidentally, when the Pacers replaced Ye Xuan, it was Rondo who replaced Ye Xuan, and the Wizards let Wall switch to the second position, obviously both wanted to directly oppose each other to confront, but it happened that both sides made adjustments at the same time, causing the two to be misplaced again, but in the second round after the last time, Wall immediately returned to the point guard position, and the audience also knew that the two would continue the point guard battle for them.

But what I didn't expect was that Ye Xuan's knee had begun to be a little unsupportable at this time, originally in the game where Ye Xuan slashed 50+10+10, Ye Xuan's knee injury risk began to worsen, but Ye Xuan didn't care too much at that time, because at that time he had already scraped together the survival time to be able to buy that potion, but in the next few games, Ye Xuan still did not restrain his desire to attack, which caused this injury to become more and more serious, and finally broke out in this game!

In the last offense of the second quarter, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and watched the countdown, only Wall was defending Ye Xuan alone, everyone knew that Ye Xuan would play this ball by himself, but the Wizards were obviously also signaled by Ye Xuan, so they did not come to wrap Ye Xuan, but just when Ye Xuan was about to accelerate past Wall with a difficult change of direction again, a sharp pain in his knee made Ye Xuan suddenly lose the ability to think, seeing Ye Xuan suddenly fall, Wall picked up the ball and prepared to counterattack, But after running two steps, he finally stopped, and then paused for two seconds, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game, at which time the Pacers players realized that Ye Xuan did not get up, and they did not expect that this would be Ye Xuan's last game with the Pacers.
