Chapter 392: This is the value of the Most Valuable Player
As the most critical part of the Pacers, and also the best in the game, Ye Xuan's performance can only be described as perfect, at the beginning of the game, he first sent three assists in a row to help the team open the situation, and then lured the opponent to focus on the defensive line, so that the Pacers took advantage of the opponent's negligence to instantly take a lead of more than 5 points, and it was this advantage that allowed the Pacers to be in the lead in the next games.
After that, Ye Xuan began to show his individual offensive skills, using his strength to help the Pacers still lead the opponent at the end of the first three quarters. In the end, when the third quarter had played the whole quarter of the game, Ye Xuan was still not replaced in the fourth quarter of the game, but insisted on hitting the opponent on the court to replace the main force, announced his surrender, and played a total of 22 minutes in a row, not only slashing 15 points and 3 assists in the last quarter, but also sent two steals on the defensive end, which also became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Pacers finally successfully defeated the Hawks who performed equally well in this game on their home court.
played 41 minutes in the whole game, scored a total of 34 points, 13 assists, plus 4 steals and 1 block, the data directly blinded everyone's eyes, and in the end, Ye Xuan did not make a single mistake in this game, which also made Ye Xuan's efficiency in a single game in this game reach an astonishing 39.2. It was Ye Xuan's supernatural performance that allowed the Pacers to still win the final victory in the face of the Hawks in perfect condition.
In fact, in addition to Ye Xuan in this game of the Pacers, the performance of Pickled Pepper and Solomon Hill was not bad, Pickled Pepper played 38 minutes, got 27 points and 7 rebounds, although because Ye Xuan has been controlling the ball, so there are not many assists, but Pickled Pepper on the defensive end also let Carroll, who was opposite him, only score 4 points in the whole game, you must know that Carroll contributed 14 points in the last game. Needless to say, Solomon Hill made 3-of-5 three-pointers, contributed six rebounds, two steals and a block on the defensive end, and was the backbone of the Pacers on both offensive and defensive ends.
After this game, the Pacers finally had a short break, and they will have two days of rest before departing for Atlanta for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. In fact, it seems that the Pacers have a great chance of qualifying, and in addition to the good news from the Pacers, the other three teams with a 2:1 lead all lost in the crucial fourth game, and the score was also tied 2:2, so the situation of the Pacers is now the best among all 8 teams.
However, in order to prevent accidents, the Pacers players were not idle during the two-day break, and were arranged by Coach Frank to practice for an extra hour every day, so there will not be a situation like the Rockets who run out to nightclubs in the playoffs. Ye Xuan continued to train with his teammates as usual, but the difference was that the outside world's evaluation of the Pacers and Ye Xuan changed instantly after the two games.
The people who suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan and sprayed Ye Xuan disappeared again in an instant, and all that was left was the beautiful words and various exaggerated evaluations of Ye Xuan. The Washington Post, as an official newspaper, also sang praises for Ye Xuan in its own newspaper, defining Ye Xuan's performance in this game as 'the value of the most valuable player'.
And the Polis Sports newspaper, which has always been a fan of the Pacers, has raised the Pacers to a god-like low position, first analyzing the situation of the current Pacers, and then analyzing the biggest threat to the Pacers. First of all, the Pacers double-killed the Rockets and Warriors in the regular season, and it was a feat that the Pacers had not yet completed when they had not yet pickled peppers, and although the Clippers could pose a great threat to the Pacers, they first needed to pass the Rockets and the Warriors, not to mention the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' state was very similar to the Hawks, but their two major interior lines were more cumbersome than the Hawks, which made them unable to get any benefits in the face of Hibbert. So for the Pacers, a couple of teams in the West are no longer a cause for concern.
Then he analyzed the situation on the eastern side, the Pacers now seem to be only a matter of time before they defeat the Hawks, and it has proven that the Pacers are better than their opponents when the Hawks are in good enough shape, and the remaining two opponents, the Bulls now seem to be the biggest threat to the Pacers, but they are playing so hard against the Cavaliers without Love, This is enough to show that they are not particularly strong when they play tough games, and besides, the first thing they need to think about now is to win against the Cavaliers.
Finally, he also analyzed the current state of the Pacers, saying that Ye Xuan is no longer inferior to Kobe Bryant, who killed God and Buddha back then, and Pickled Pepper is very similar to Durant on the day the Thunder entered the Finals, but this time, 'Kobe' and ' Durant also has a group of excellent helpers around him, and now the Pacers have a good chance to eliminate the Hawks 4:1, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so by the way, he directly concluded that the Pacers had a mouthful of milk, saying that the Pacers' chances of defending the title this year are already very high.
The players of the Pacers team have not been affected by these overwhelming sycophants from the outside world, and they are still actively training, in fact, the strength of the Pacers this season is indeed very strong, although West's point is really a bit too disappointing, but the Pacers can still use a lot of people, plus when it is really not good, Pickled pepper can barely make a cameo appearance in the position of power forward, so they are indeed strong in this playoffs, In addition, the Warriors' tactics that have performed well this season are just restrained by the Pacers, and the Cavaliers are missing a big general, so if the Pacers have a very big hope of defending the title this season, if they successfully defend the title this year, it will be like the 13-year Heat, many veterans who lack rings but don't need big contracts will vote by themselves, and then the Pacers will not be able to easily complete the triple championship and establish a new dynasty?
