After the whole game, the Pacers only scored a total of 91 points, compared to their average points per game this season, this number is indeed a bit low, but compared to their opponent's 69 points, the Pacers' number is very powerful, Ye Xuan's statistics in this game have also decreased due to playing time and other reasons, but he still got 19 points and 6 assists in his limited playing time. If you just look at the data, you will definitely feel that Ye Xuan played a bad game, but you must know that Ye Xuan only played 19 minutes in this game.

After the end of this game, the Pacers' record has come to 15-9, which also allows the Pacers to continue to rank fourth in the East, in fact, the Pacers' fourth position in the East is still quite stable, because the Raptors behind them have now lost 11 games after losing to the Pacers, and they have one game less than the Pacers, and the current record is only 13-11, The Pacers have a 2.5-game lead over their opponents and are not in danger of being caught up by their opponents for the time being.

In addition, the Pacers have a chance to continue to move forward, because the Bulls, who are ahead of the Pacers, have not had a good record recently, and are now only 15-8, only half a win ahead of the Pacers. And after 4 consecutive difficult opponents, the Pacers finally ushered in a relatively easy opponent, that is, the Los Angeles Lakers. You heard it right, the Lakers are now a salted fish team, although the boss is still the boss, but in the case of Gasol's contract renewal failure and Nash's continued season reimbursement, the boss's injury has not fully recovered, so the Lakers' current record is still ranked at the bottom of the league.

In addition, Byron Scott's coaching style has always been incompatible with the Lakers, so the Lakers' role players can only be described as bleak, first of all, Jeremy Lin, who received a salary of $8.4 million, has become a complete ornament under Byron Scott, and he has not even averaged 10 points per game in more than 20 games since the beginning of the season.

In such a team where everyone is fighting in silos, there is no clear tactical goal at all, and it is exactly the famous x**d tactic of the Rockets back then. So there's a reason why their record is so poor. The Pacers also played relatively easily in this game, but for Ye Xuan, there was still a bit of pressure, first of all, he was also the first time to play against his idol in his previous life, and Kobe Bryant had not yet returned from injury in the Lakers game last season. Secondly, because Ye Xuan had promised the boss that he would go to the Lakers as his successor after the contract ended this season, Ye Xuan went directly to the pigeon.

However, in general, although the Pacers lack pickled peppers, they are much better than their opponents in terms of overall staffing and proficiency in coordination, and in terms of tactical arrangement, Coach Frank on the Pacers' side is obviously much better than Byron Scott. So in this game, Ye Xuan still didn't spend too much effort on offense.

However, because Solomon Hill was struggling to defend Kobe, Coach Frank finally sent Ye Xuan to defend Kobe, and the boss's offense is indeed not as brave as he was at his peak. Although he was still able to play when he singled Solomon Hill, when Ye Xuan was replaced to defend him, Kobe's shooting percentage plummeted.

In fact, this should also be Byron Scott to take the blame, if others are this kind of single-core, they must let the core be the initiator of the offense, not only can they play alone, but they can also create opportunities for teammates to open up space, but the Lakers' tactics are not like this, their tactics are to pull everyone away and let Kobe Bryant play alone. At the beginning, you may be able to play a dozen with sufficient physical strength, but after the opponent was singled by you for a few, he began to arrange people to trap you, and after you fell into the trap, you found that all your teammates were standing next to you and watching the play.

The Pacers didn't pack Kobe Bryant much in the first two quarters of the game, but they kept letting Solomon Hill and Ye Xuan take turns to play Kobe, and when they played in the second half, Kobe's physical fitness began to have problems, after all, he was also 35 years old, plus he made 15 crazy shots in the first half, and the physical consumption was also very large. Without Kobe's offensive strength to support the situation, the Lakers' side collapsed in an instant.

In the third quarter of the game, the Pacers took advantage of this opportunity to completely open up the difference between the two teams, and Ye Xuan also clocked out of work directly in the third quarter. At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Lakers who came to challenge 101:88 on their home court, Ye Xuan's score in this game did not reach 20 points again, because Ye Xuan only played 24 minutes in this game, and although the boss's offensive end was a little annoyed by Ye Xuan, but in turn, the Lakers were responsible for defending Ye Xuan. As a member of the perennial All-Defensive team, Kobe Bryant's defensive ability naturally goes without saying.

In this game, Ye Xuan played 24 minutes and scored 18 points and 9 assists, helping the Pacers defeat their opponents, and on the Lakers' side, the boss is of course the most critical point, this boss played a total of 28 minutes, under the rotation of Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill, he got 23 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds, but his shooting rate in this game was indeed a little lower, only 37%.

After ending this game, Ye Xuan took the initiative to invite Kobe Bryant to his home as a guest, because his current situation is actually very similar to Kobe Bryant in the 05-06 season that year, he led the team alone, and then met many other teams, all of which were two or three star players. Therefore, in addition to wanting to express his apologies to Kobe Bryant for letting him go at that time, Ye Xuan also wanted to learn from Kobe Bryant and see how to quickly adjust his state in this situation.

But first of all, of course, I still invited the boss to eat an authentic Chinese food, although the boss usually does not eat pork, and the characteristics of Chinese food with more oil and salt also make Kobe Bryant very coveted, but he is still discouraged. This time, Ye Xuan repeatedly assured that all the Chinese food this time was relatively suitable for athletes after the chef's improvement, so Kobe Bryant reluctantly chose to believe in Ye Xuan.
