Chapter 237: One More Victory
Hibbert protected the backcourt rebound, and then wanted to pass the ball to Ye Xuan, who had already started to play fast, but Lawson and Aaron Afflaro's retreat speed was still very fast, and they immediately checked out, breaking Ye Xuan's fast-break sneak attack plan, and Ye Xuan could only suppress the rhythm of the offense and wait for his teammates to settle down.
After all his teammates were in their positions, Ye Xuan quickly made two changes of direction in front of his body, and then wanted to rush to the opponent's inner line, but unfortunately Afflaro's defensive reaction was still very fast, and he immediately followed Ye Xuan's footsteps, Ye Xuan saw that the breakthrough was blocked, and immediately changed his offensive strategy, first took two steps back, returned to the three-point line to re-brew the attack, and then began to prepare for a breakthrough again, but this time, Ye Xuan was not using ordinary passing moves, Rather, it was a fancy man in front of Afflaro.
First, two large pulls in a row changed direction, then Ye Xuan quickly took a step to the left, and then smashed the ball behind Afraro's left side, but he was a sudden stop change of direction from Afraro's right and pulled the basketball back, this time Afraro was also a little dizzy by Ye Xuan, and he didn't react for a while to ask where it was, after Ye Xuan pulled the ball back, he immediately took another step back to open up the distance between him and the opponent, and then pulled it up to make a three-point shot. Before Avlalo, who was defending him, could not react to where the ball was, Ye Xuan's three points had already been shot.
After completing such a very fancy goal, Ye Xuan's pretending spirit immediately burned, and he first made his signature celebration move, making a shot at the opponent's basket. Then he made an AI listening gesture and motioned for the audience to cheer a little more enthusiastically. Of course, the audience at the Consec Arena was also very enthusiastic, and immediately raised their cheers.
With only two offenses and one defense, the Pacers have established a huge advantage, which is not only the actual advantage of leading the opponent by 5 points on the court, but also the pressure brought by the atmosphere on the field and the psychological advantage between the players. So Ye Xuan's juggling goal just now was not only taken out and replayed by the on-site director, hitting Afraro's confidence over and over again, but the audience at the scene was also very cooperative, cheering every time they watched it, which made Ye Xuan on the field a little embarrassed.
However, the game on the court still continued, and after Ye Xuan pretended to be forced, the Nuggets immediately killed again, obviously a little angry about the ball just now, and wanted to return one. However, after Afraro was teased by Ye Xuan, and then laughed at by the audience, he obviously felt a little hit, so he didn't run particularly smoothly on the offensive end, which also made the offensive plan on the Nuggets' side not be implemented smoothly.
The next plot is the rhythm that Ye Xuan is very familiar with, constantly using his opposition advantage to create opportunities for himself and the team, and then quickly widen the difference between the two teams, I have to say that Ye Xuan's offensive efficiency is indeed very good when he has absolute possession, and when the game was 8 minutes into the first quarter, Ye Xuan had already scored 11 points and 4 assists.
In fact, if it weren't for Afflaro quickly adjusting his psychological state and regaining his defensive rhythm, Ye Xuan estimated that his score would have increased to 20 points now, and it was because of Afflaro that Ye Xuan's side had to choose to pass the ball several times, and the goal after his teammates switched hands was not Ye Xuan's assist, so Ye Xuan's data was just like this. But Rao is like this, and Ye Xuan still helped the team lead the opponent by as many as 11 points before the first quarter of the game was played.
In the second quarter of the game, Ye Xuan also played after a long period of rest, Ye Xuan was replaced again in the second quarter of the game almost halfway through, at this time the Pacers' lead has been desperately recovered by the opponent, and now there is only a 5-point lead left, but after Ye Xuan came on the court, he immediately used his personal ability to quickly open up the difference between the two teams.
It has to be said that the Nuggets have been struggling on offense due to the lack of a player who can have a certain dominance on the offensive end, and they were able to rely on their extraordinary athleticism to score a lot of goals when facing a team with poor defensive ability, but in the face of a team like the Pacers, where players in several positions have outstanding individual defensive ability, their singles are a bit insufficient.
At halftime, the Pacers regained a 10-point lead. After the start of the second half, Ye Xuan didn't want to drag on any longer, because they had to go to the away game to play back-to-back games tomorrow, so if they could solve the battle as soon as possible, they could also save a lot of physical strength. So at the beginning of the second half, Ye Xuan gave up his brushing data mode, and turned on his best offensive selection mode, and it took less than 10 minutes to successfully open the difference between the two teams to 17 points.
In the early part of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets also tried to recover the point difference, - led by Smith, the Pacers' benches successfully resisted the opponent's chasing frenzy, as the game time was slowly consumed, the Diggers had 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but the team was still 15 points behind, chose to give up the game, and then replaced all their main players. At the end of the game, the Pacers finally won the opponent with a score of 108:97, and Ye Xuan only played 25 minutes in the whole game, contributing 27 points and 10 assists very efficiently, just winning a double-double, and did not let his average points per game drop too much.
