Chapter Ninety-Six: The Second Section of the Battle of Wits and Courage

Looking back, George Hill still maintained his fiery touch, brought the ball to the front court, handed the ball to Ye Xuan, and then started to run himself, Ye Xuan shook off Ray Allen with continuous feints, and then broke through the ball to George Hill who ran out of the vacant position, and Hill hit this shot steadily after receiving the ball.

After that, the two sides fought for a few rounds in a row, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, Coach Frank finally replaced Ye Xuan and George Hill with Pickled Pepper and C.J. Watson, and because Lance didn't play long in the first quarter, he also replaced Lance on the court.

The Heat also adjusted their lineup, replacing James, who played the full first quarter, with a rest and Wade to lead a bench for a while. The game restarted, and the Pacers temporarily led 32-24.

In the first quarter, he saw that Ye Xuan and George Hill had a strong desire to attack, so he basically chose to give the offensive opportunity to these two people, so in the first quarter, Pickled Pepper only scored 4 points. However, now that Pickled Pepper is leading the team alone, he immediately showed his singles ability.

First, he hit a mid-range shot after blocking Lance, and then grabbed a defensive rebound after Lewis missed a shot, dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt, and scored the ball directly outside the three-point point with a quick stop.

Although the Heat also scored a breakaway layup by Wade later, Pickles then fully showed off their rich arsenal. He hit Wade with his back in the low post, then turned and stepped back to make a jumper to score two more points. As soon as Spoelstra saw that the situation was not good, he immediately replaced James, who had only rested for less than 3 minutes, and Bosh and Chalmers were also replaced.

On the Pacers' side, the main center and the main front have been well rested, so they have also directly replaced the two main insiders, so far, only Ye Xuan in the main lineup is still resting off the court, after all, Ye Xuan's physical fitness is not as perverted as James's.

After the substitutions between the two sides, they exchanged a few more rounds, and Coach Frank instantly found out that something was wrong, although there was only one less Ye Xuan, but Watson's performance in the face of the opponent's main force was too poor, and he was passed by Chalmers in a row, resulting in the defense of the entire main lineup being disrupted, and the opponent also took advantage of the chaos to chase the score to 39:35.

Seeing that the advantage in the first quarter was about to be exhausted, Coach Frank quickly called a timeout, and then directly replaced Watson with Ye Xuan, who had rested for 5 minutes. After Ye Xuan came on the court, the Pacers' defense also reactivated, and almost defended the opponent to a 24-second violation in two consecutive rounds, and one of the opponent's hasty shots also brought an excellent counterattack opportunity for the Pacers.

Hibbert grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and found Ye Xuan with a long throw, Ye Xuan took two steps after taking the ball, and took a three-step step directly in the three-point line, and James was still ready to chase Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan's afterglow swept a black shadow to pounce on him, and immediately made a dodge action in the air, and then sent the ball behind him, just handed the ball to the follow-up pickled pepper, and pickled pepper was not polite, directly received the ball and dunked the ball in with one hand.

Seeing such a smooth fast attack, the audience at the scene couldn't help cheering. Coach Frank, who was standing on the side, also nodded, watching the cooperation between Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper on the court becoming more and more proficient, and he became more and more confident in this year's playoffs.

The Heat served the ball in the backcourt, and James directly took over the work of Chalmers, personally brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then used his teammates' cover to directly enter the interior and cause David West's foul. However, I don't know if it was because he had a bad hand or because West's foul was more ruthless, James's first free throw was missed, he steadied himself, and then threw the second free throw, and finally hit.

After that, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the front court, and then handed the ball to Hibbert, who asked for the ball on the inside, Hibbert faced the relatively thin Bosh, and directly hit the back twice, but unfortunately the hook hand after turning was out of the basket.

James protected the rebound, slowly advanced to the frontcourt, took advantage of Lance's unstable foothold, a cross step passed Lance, Pickled Pepper hurriedly went to make up for the defense, James handed the ball to Wade who was vacated, Wade also took two steps inward after taking the ball, Ye Xuan hurriedly dropped Chalmers to make up for the defense, but Wade also broke through the ball and handed the ball to Chalmers who took the opportunity to run to the bottom corner, Chalmers pulled up and shot, hitting three points.

Next, the Pacers' interior two also began to exert their powers, first West hit Battier with his back, and Hibbert grabbed the frontcourt rebound after Ye Xuan's shot, and then handed the inside pass to West on the side, assisting the latter to score two more points. Then on the defensive end, West also slapped the ball directly from the side when Wade stepped back after a breakaway.

Seeing that the Pacers were starting to make a splash inside, Spoelstra was forced to call another timeout before replacing Battier with Haslem. After the Harbin team came on the field, it really had a good effect, but Ye Xuan also understood the opponent's intention to make such a substitution, so he changed the center of gravity of the pass to the pickled pepper and Lance on the outside.

However, in the next few rounds, the shots of both sides were all iron, and after several rounds of offense in succession, the two sides also began to adjust their state, Ye Xuan dribbled to the front court again, and made a gesture to signal his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to single-handedly hit the opponent.

Holding the ball and facing Wade, Ye Xuan calmly dribbled the ball while constantly verbally interfering with the opponent's thinking, "Dwyan, you can't win the championship this year, you are outdated, and the whole league doesn't want you to win three consecutive championships, do you know why?" Because your salary cut huddle is off to a bad start for the league. ”

Wade stared at Ye Xuan calmly, and did not make any response, after all, he has been in the league for 11 years, how could he be disturbed by Ye Xuan's little tricks, Ye Xuan saw that the other party did not have a trace of fluctuation, and had no choice but to forcibly break through, a change of direction after the crotch changed hands to open a little gap, and then a Buddha worship action successfully shook the opponent up, and then broke through to the free throw line and successfully hit a shot to stabilize the situation.

The feeling of the two sides also recovered in the next few rounds, and it was not until the end of the second quarter that the two sides temporarily battled to 56:49, and the Pacers led by seven points into the second half.
