Although it was not a three-pointer, it still scored a three-point shot, and it was a much better goal than shooting a three-pointer from the outside. So after shooting the penalty shot, Ye Xuan also proudly used his signature celebration, in the Conseco Arena, this celebration is very popular, because it means that the Pacers have an advantage in this game, and only when the advantage is there, Ye Xuan will provoke the opponent so arrogantly.

I don't know if it was affected by the goal just now, the Cavaliers' shooting rate finally began to decline, first James broke through and forced a shot to hit the iron, and then after Masimmy missed the inside shot, the Cavaliers launched a fast attack, James passed the ball to Mike Miller who ran out of the empty space on the outside, Miller's three-point shot hit the iron again, originally everyone thought it was an offensive battle, but they didn't expect it to become an iron battle in a blink of an eye.

In the last two minutes of the third quarter of the game, the two teams suddenly lost their crosshairs, adding up to 8 shots, only hitting 2, James and Ye Xuan each hit a mid-range shot, and then the two teams had no other points to score, the first three quarters of the game, the Pacers still maintained the lead on their home court, although only 5 points ahead, but the next game Pacers should be more dominant.

The main reason is to use Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan to stagger the playing time to disrupt the opponent's already stretched rotation, and now Dellavedova who defends Ye Xuan even played the third quarter of the game, which is basically impossible in the previous game, which makes his physical exertion very large, although there is no consumption on the offensive end, but defending Ye Xuan is not an easy job.

The second point is that James also played the third quarter of the game, and Pickled Pepper got a three-minute rest, which made Pickled Pepper have some physical strength advantage in the fourth quarter, and there will even be a situation where James is replaced to rest after Pickled Pepper plays, without the restraint of the defensive end, Pickled Pepper should be able to completely crush the opponent in one fell swoop with Ye Xuan.

Of course, there is a third point, that is, Ye Xuan did not use potions in this game, so he prepared to continue to play directly in the fourth quarter of the game, in order to completely drag down the opponent's physical strength, so he used a large physical recovery potion during the break in the third quarter of the game, and directly raised his physical strength from 37% to nearly 70%, this physical strength value in the fourth quarter, not to mention Dellavedova who has entered the fatigue stage in singles, is no problem with Dellavedova in the usual rotation state of singles.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers made personnel adjustments, they replaced Dellavedova and replaced George Hill, but James still stayed on the court, and Tristan Thompson on the inside was replaced by Mozgov, in fact, the Cavaliers and the Pacers have similar ideas, they want to use the time when the opponent replaced Ye Xuan, and use George Hill and James to play together to recover the score gap.

But when they saw the Pacers' lineup, they were blindsided. Ye Xuan appeared on the court, although Ye Xuan had also played the second half once in the previous game, but Ye Xuan's playing time against the Cavaliers was still traceable, and he didn't expect Ye Xuan to choose to continue to play in the third quarter of the game.

Without the interference of Dellavedova, and now Ye Xuan's physical strength has recovered to a value of about 70%, so his play is very good, and after the Cavaliers replaced Dellavedova, their defensive intensity suddenly dropped a notch, and on the offensive end due to James's slow consumption, the efficiency began to gradually decline, which gave the Pacers a lot of opportunities to wrap up, causing the Cavaliers' offense to be blocked, and the fourth quarter of the game was only 4 minutes old. The Pacers were already ahead of the opponent by as many as 10 points, and Blatter couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately replaced James for a minute or two to rest, allowing Dellavedova, who had been resting for a while, to defend Ye Xuan, and Tristan Thompson also rushed on the court to help the team improve the quality of defense.

But after James went off the court, the Cavaliers played more passively, and the Cavaliers, who were already a little struggling, had no point to effectively contain the ball-holding offense of the pickled pepper without James, which caused the Cavaliers to lose all the balls in the next four rounds, and on the offensive end, except for George Hill who used his understanding of Ye Xuan to play Ye Xuan with a reverse thinking and shot a three-pointer, the Cavaliers did not score, back and forth, Within two minutes of James' departure, the Pacers had stretched the margin from 10 to 15 points.

At this time, the Cavaliers replaced James but it was already too late, the 15-point gap, under the Pacers' solid defense and the rhythm that can be slowed down, became a mountain that the Cavaliers could not climb, after chasing the score for 3 minutes, the difference between the two teams was only narrowed by 4 points, and the difference was still more than 10 points, and the Cavaliers were basically desperate at this time.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Ye Xuan also walked to the Cavaliers' bench with Pickle Pepper and others, exchanged a few words with James and George Hill and others there, and then returned to the locker room. At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers who came to challenge them on their home court, rewriting the score of the Eastern Conference Finals to 1:2, and the Pacers led the Cavaliers with a higher record than themselves by one game.

The core of both teams played very well in this game, James played 40 minutes, and scored a total of 35 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds, which was the best player in the game, in addition to contributing 3 steals and 1 block. But all of this became useless under the excellent play of Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan, Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan played 37 minutes and 39 minutes, and together they scored 58 points plus 19 assists and 11 rebounds (11 rebounds were all grabbed by Pickled Pepper) Almost all of the team's general statistics, and the two of them combined to get a total of 4 steals and 2 blocks, and their contributions on the defensive end were good enough, so the Cavaliers lost this game convincingly.
