Chapter 418: Foul Trap

Ye Xuan's hurried stop-and-go jump shot naturally failed to hit, and the rebound was also protected by Valejo. I have to say that after returning to the Quick Loan Arena, Dellavedova's small actions have been acquiesced to a large extent, which has led to Ye Xuan's shooting rate in this game has not been very high, and now Ye Xuan has made 5 shots, but unfortunately only hit two of them, although the shooting rate is not too low, but it is also lower than Ye Xuan's own average.

So in the ninth minute of the game, the Pacers called a timeout again and replaced Ye Xuan, who was not very good, on the one hand, to let Ye Xuan calm down a little, and on the other hand, to let Ye Xuan play as soon as possible in the second quarter of the game, and bring the benches to play a good game. And after the Cavaliers saw Ye Xuan go down, they also directly replaced Dellavedova, making it clear that they wanted to use Dellavedova to be the same as Ye Xuan and restrict Ye Xuan's play.

The game continued, the Pacers served the ball again in the backcourt, C.J. Watson came to the front court with the ball, and handed the ball directly to Pickle Pepper's hand, Pickle Pepper made a gesture for his teammates to pull away after receiving the ball, and then he was ready to single James. After several consecutive crotch dribbles in front of James, Pickled Pepper suddenly started to kill to the left, and James hurriedly moved to the left to try to intercept Ye Xuan's breakthrough.

But who knew that Pickled Pepper's footsteps to the left slowed down, a back dribble handed the ball to the right hand, and then broke through to the right, James hurriedly pounced on the right side of the defense, Pickled Pepper suddenly showed a bad smile on his face, and immediately took a step back to the three-point line after taking a step to the right, James still wanted to make up for the defense, but he didn't notice that the center of gravity of his body had been completely shaken, and James who was in a hurry to rush forward fell directly to the ground with an unstable foot.

Pickled Pepper's set of stealing from Ye Xuan's variant of the flower-wearing butterfly step can be regarded as having its due effect, after shaking James to the ground, Pickled Pepper easily threw the ball in outside the three-point line. After throwing in, he deliberately learned Ye Xuan's signature celebration move, shooting at the opponent's basket, and then put his finger to his mouth and blew it. Then he pointed at Ye Xuan on the side with a wicked smile. Ye Xuan was also happy, pointed back at the pickled pepper, and thought to himself, the pickled pepper really learned badly with me, and the children can be taught, hahaha.

Compared with the tsunami-like cheers from the bench of the Pacers, the audience at the scene was silent, they had never seen their little emperor shaken down by the opponent, I have to say that Pickled Pepper's hand is indeed a stroke of genius, this time not only successfully scored the ball, but also successfully hit the opponent's morale, and the balance of victory tilted towards the Pacers in an instant.

After James was shaken down, he also sat on the ground and was stunned for a few seconds, and then he was pulled up by his teammates who rushed over, and I don't know what he was thinking now. But just when the Pacers thought James had been hit, James immediately used a powerful breakthrough dunk to tell everyone that he was not defeated so easily, and he also called Tristan Thompson to come forward to block and dismantle after he controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. Before he could jump up, he was hit by James.

Now it was the Cavaliers' turn to cheer, and this was the home stadium of the Cavaliers, so the audience at the scene immediately cheered, and the atmosphere changed again in an instant. Fortunately, this goal did not make Hibbert's mentality unbalanced, and in the next two minutes or so, the offense of the two teams became more and more passionate, and they began to impact the opponent's interior, but the interior of both teams was that kind of defensive type, and in the last two minutes or so, the two teams combined for only 7 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers had a slight two-point lead over the Cavaliers at 31:29. At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides invariably replaced most of the main forces that played the first quarter, and the Pacers said that it was a 9-man rotation system, so there was no concern about replacing people, but the Cavaliers became an 8-man rotation system after injuring two generals, so although the first quarter was full but did not consume too much physical strength, Vallejo had to continue to play, with Mozgov, George Hill, Dellavedova and Sean Marion to play this quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Hill found Ye Xuan with the ball, just like the ridicule between the two in the previous game, Hill opened his mouth again to greet Ye Xuan, "Hey, Ye, your performance today doesn't seem to be particularly good, what's wrong with you, are you overindulgent?" Hearing Hill's half-ridiculous and half-provocative words, Ye Xuan suddenly rolled his eyes, and was just about to speak, but immediately remembered the lesson of the previous game, and sure enough, Hill was about to break through while Ye Xuan was about to speak, but fortunately, Ye Xuan reacted relatively quickly and immediately followed, but Hill changed his move, and a brake stopped near the free throw line, Ye Xuan's side didn't have time to react, and hit it directly, the whistle sounded again, and Ye Xuan received the second foul in this game.

The Cavaliers served on the sideline, Hill received the ball and passed the ball directly to Dellavedova on the bottom line, and after Dellavedova received the ball, he passed the ball to Vallejo who asked for the ball inside. After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed Masimmi, and then hit the ball with an easy layup.

Ye Xuan turned around and immediately wanted to return the opponent, after controlling the ball and coming to the front court, Ye Xuan decisively signaled his teammates to pull all away, and he wanted to force Hill to single, after all his teammates pulled away, Ye Xuan decisively began to break through, although Hill was not able to directly block Ye Xuan's footsteps, but he was also able to block one of Ye Xuan's directions, so that Ye Xuan could not make other adjustments in the process of breaking through.

Ye Xuan didn't care about this, and rushed directly towards the opponent's inner line, but in the process of breaking through, Ye Xuan smelled a hint of conspiracy, but before Ye Xuan could figure it out, the last thing the Pacers wanted to see happened, Ye Xuan directly bumped into Valejo, who had already stood in a position, and the name of the actor really deserved his name, Ye Xuan's side basically contained it, but after hitting Vallejo, the actor still flew back two steps away.
