Ye Xuan controlled the ball again and came to the front court, he decided to complete the attack by himself, a crotch dribble after the change of direction directly forced to rely on Paul to kill, although Paul tried his best to defend, and tried to knife the ball off, but Ye Xuan alertly held the basketball with both hands at the moment Paul stretched out his hand and took three slow steps, and then leaned back to hit a step in the penalty area.

Yibian fought again, the league's No. 1 point guard Chris Paul withstood Ye Xuan's defense and slowly advanced to the front court, Paul's ball control skills have obviously reached the point where he can retract and release freely and do whatever he wants, Ye Xuan's pressing did not affect him.

The Clippers are very rich in offensive means under Paul's tandem, such as Redick and Paul have good range and shooting percentage, and Griffin's interior singles have gradually become the best in the big forward position, often able to perform back shots or break through dunks on the inside, as for Jordan Jr., he uses secondary offensive dunks as the main means of scoring.

Paul slowly organized the offense, patiently waiting for the opportunity, and Griffin, who was on the inside, took advantage of David West's chance to catch up, a reverse run, Paul's pass was also sent instantly, and Griffin received the ball at the left of the free throw line and hit a direct jumper.

Facing Paul's defense with the ball again, I have to say that Paul is not only super organized, but also his defensive ability is outstanding, but when facing some point guards who are good at strength and physical fitness, the effect is not obvious.

On the one hand, when the point guard with long height and long arms controls the ball, for Paul, who has occupied the top of the steal list for many years, there are more flaws, on the other hand, Paul is also called a dirty cannon by some black fans, because he often uses some small actions to affect the opponent's play when defending. Therefore, Ye Xuan, who was very uncomfortable by Paul's defense, seemed a little constrained, and he couldn't open the situation for a long time.

On the other hand, the Clippers, scoring guard J.J. Redick's style of play is very similar to Ye Xuan's, he can shoot suddenly, and his off-ball running position is also very good, coupled with Paul's tandem and the space drawn by the inside, he hit consecutive shots in less than 5 minutes, including a three-pointer.

Ye Xuan was uncomfortable by Paul's defense, and Pickled Pepper didn't seem to have a particularly strong desire to attack, after Ye Xuan handed the ball to him, Pickled Pepper chose to pass the ball several times, although this also assisted Ye Xuan to hit a three-pointer, but without the arrow figure on the offensive end to lead, the Pacers' offense looked a little disorganized.

By the time the game entered the first quarter of the television timeout, the Clippers had comfortably taken a six-point lead on the road at 17-11. Frank saw that Ye Xuan's performance in the face of Paul was not ideal, so he simply replaced him directly, and let the more experienced George Hill play Paul, while Ye Xuan was responsible for leading the substitutes to chase down the points when the time came.

However, after this substitution, as if he had woken up the sleeping pickled pepper, he returned to the court and began to score points, first facing Barnes's defense and shooting a three-point shot, and then using Hibbert's cover to hit a mid-range shot.

However, the Clippers' coordination seemed to be more fluid, and Paul was like a loach on the court, not only sending a few exquisite passes, but also throwing or hitting the ball himself from time to time to score points.

When there were two and a half minutes left in the first quarter of the game, Clippers coach Doug Rivers took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to take the lead in replacing the main team to rest, and Coach Frank also followed closely behind, replacing the main players who had played for nearly ten minutes to rest, and replaced Ye Xuan, who had been resting for a while, to grab points.

Without Paul's interference, Ye Xuan suddenly felt like a fish in water, facing Darren Collison, who was known as Paul's stand-in, easily used his speed to pass the opponent, and then shot directly at the opportunity before Dudley could make up for it, announcing his return.

However, the Clippers bench with Super Sixth Man Jamal Crawford did not show weakness, and after asking for the ball one step on the left side of the free throw line, he used his back skills to single Ye Xuan.

After Ye Xuan was singled, he immediately wanted to return the color, and just wanted to get the ball in the low position, but he didn't expect Keliu to stretch his arms and almost poke the ball out by him. Ye Xuan, who stabilized the ball, handed the ball back to Hill outside the three-point line, and after Hill took the ball and made a block with Scola, he assisted the latter to hit a mid-range shot.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers relied on Paul's six assists in a single quarter and Redick's 13 points to temporarily lead the Pacers 29-21.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Ye Xuan began to go crazy, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of Crawford on the defense, Ye Xuan suddenly started to enter the restricted area, and faced the block of 'Big Baby' Glenn Davis and made a layup. Then Keliu's mid-range shot was missed, and after receiving a pass from Ma Simmi, who grabbed the rebound, Ye Xuan quickly advanced to the opponent's half, and after the chaos, he passed the ball to Scola who was inserted on the side, and Scola took three steps to make a layup. After scoring the ball, Scola also came back and high-fived Ye Xuan to show his gratitude.

Collison dribbled to the front court again, but did not hand over the ball to Keliu to deal with, but chose to break through by himself, and the change in playing style also gave Collison a chance to break through, although Hill barely kept up, but had lost his defensive position, Copeland on the side hurried over to make up for the defense, and Collison, who was deeply involved in Paul's true pass, gave the ball to Dudley who ran out of the vacant position with a hidden hit, Dudley received the ball and shot, stepping on the three-point line to hit a two-pointer.

Then Ye Xuan's breakthrough ball, but it ended with Hill's shooting iron, after the big baby grabbed the rebound, handed the ball to Keliu on the side, Keliu advanced a few steps earlier, and immediately found Collison who had already begun to go fast, and then quickly pushed the ball forward, Collison hurriedly reached out and grabbed the basketball that had been thrown over his head in two steps, and made a layup.

Although Ye Xuan then used his personal ability to score points one after another, the opponent's bench depth was obviously very luxurious, and the benches on both sides performed very well on the offensive end, and the score also rose rapidly, and when the time came to the second quarter with 8 minutes left, the two sides except for the Pacers replaced Hill with C.J. Watson, and they both changed their main lineups, at which time the Clippers still led by 6 points at 43:37.
