Chapter 309: Hibbert's stock began to rise

At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the mighty Cavaliers with a score of 107-101 on their home court, and this game was still very crucial for the Pacers, because this victory not only returned to the second place in the East, but also ended the eight-game winning streak of their biggest rival Cavaliers.

Ye Xuan played an amazing 45 minutes in this game, and basically was in a high-intensity confrontation all the time, which made those bricks who shouted that Ye Xuan became soft in the fourth quarter and had no physical strength to have two more slap marks on their faces. And in the 45 minutes of game time, he contributed 37 points, 12 assists and 3 steals, which also allowed Ye Xuan to continue to consolidate his position as the scoring champion.

In addition to Ye Xuan, the Pacers have the most outstanding performance of Hibbert, who played 38 minutes in the whole game, and got a total of 24 points and 16 rebounds, directly blowing up Thompson and Lefu on the inside of the Cavaliers, and the most important thing is that he played an advantage on the inside, which also shared a lot of pressure on Ye Xuan, which made Ye Xuan face a lot less bags when he forced to break through.

In fact, the Cavaliers played quite well in this game, including in the final decisive moment, in fact, the Cavaliers still have a chance to overtake the score, but unfortunately Love and Owen seem to be used to playing in the fish belly team, and they habitually choose to give up at this moment, so James's hurricane at the end was not able to pull the point difference back, so in the end, James's 39 points, 11 boards and 8 assists finally came to naught.

After the end of this game, people found that the strength of the original Pacers was so strong, especially at this critical moment, the Pacers actually except Ye Xuan alone was struggling to support, but also unexpectedly developed Hibbert, Hibbert turned around, from the first half of the season 'Kwame Brown', directly transformed into the current ' Hei Yao Ming', this back and forth, the strength evaluation of the Pacers team suddenly rose a notch, especially now that there is good news from the hospital, Pickled Pepper's injury has recovered very well, and now he has been able to start some upper limb training, and the calf bone has almost healed, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to the game at the end of March.

This is undoubtedly bad news for the rest of the league, because the Pacers' performance this season has exceeded everyone's expectations, they have played well in the East when everyone is not optimistic, and they are currently in second place in the East, which is even better than those experts expected the strongest Cavaliers in the East, and this is still their absolute core Pickled Peppers last season when they have not returned from injury, if they let Pickled Peppers, the Finals MVP, come back, Isn't this season's championship another thing in the Pacers' bag?

And after this game, the Pacers also showed a difference from the first half of the season, in the first half of the season, the Pacers actually exposed a lot of problems, - Smith's single play of nerve knives to open the situation, poor performance, then the Pacers' bench will be instantly beaten by the opponent.

And Ye Xuan, the current core of the Pacers, also had a lot of problems in the first half of the season, although his scoring ability is much stronger than last season, and his speed is also much stronger than last season, but his physical strength is still a big problem that restricts him, in the playoffs last season, the Pacers had pickled peppers to share the team's offensive firepower, and the defensive end also had Rohmon Hill, Stephenson and pickled peppers These defensive players to defend together, Therefore, Ye Xuan's physical strength can easily support a 37-39 minute game.

But in the first half of this season, the offensive end of the Pacers completely relied on Ye Xuan to play alone, which is why Ye Xuan was able to play 69 points in a single game and 82 points in a single game. Or there was no pressure in the first half, so Ye Xuan didn't need to consume too much physical strength.

And the game that the Pacers lost, it is obvious, there are several games that are very anxious in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, Ye Xuan suddenly can't do it, Ye Xuan is soft, the Pacers collapsed in an instant, and there are also some games where the opponent directly makes a fuss about Ye Xuan's point, forcibly attrition Ye Xuan at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and then relies on more advantages of his own offensive points to win the game in the final battle.

Of course, more games, the Pacers' interior line was blown up by the opponent, logically speaking, Hibbert GaWest's interior combination strength is not bad, after all, this is the Pacers' championship interior line last season, but these two in the new season, the performance is very bad in the face of the Hawks' interior, the Clippers' interior, the Grizzlies' interior, and even the Pistons' interior, it can be said that if these two can show the strength of last season, It's no wonder that the Pacers can still finish first in the East this season.

But now, they still have a chance to catch up again, and now Hibbert's performance is starting to gradually pick up, and it feels like he is not only not complacent after being praised by the media, but also finds confidence because of this praise, so his performance is getting better and better now, and Riley has a little regret about rejecting Hibbert and Shambaugh to exchange Hassan Whiteside.

It can be said that after these two games, Hibbert's value suddenly rose again, which is not surprising, after all, the Pacers asked around for a while ago, and those teams conducted a certain amount of research and investigation on Hibbert, and then firmly rejected the Pacers' trade application, but now Hibbert suddenly behaved eye-catching, which also made many team managers turn around and ask the price of the Pacers, after all, Hibbert is not a player like the boss. But it's still good to have him as the team's second leader and interior core, and because of personality problems, there is no need to worry about any conflicts between him and the team's boss.
