Chapter 371: Show Me?
Because he was already 23 points ahead of the opponent, in the second half, Coach Frank didn't bother to say anything, and directly waved his hand to replace all the players who were basically unable to play the game, such as Starkey and O'Neal Jr., but the Celtics did not write their ambition to try to turn the tables directly on their faces, so the Celtics did not put Thomas Jr. and others on the court, but just let Olynyk, Smart and other role players play on the court.
But on the one hand, the main substitute appeared, on the other hand, there was a group of water cooler managers and 38-year-old O'Neal Jr., which simply became a beating of children, and the rhythm of the game fell to the Celtics in an instant, and in just three minutes, the Pacers' group of water cooler managers were beaten by the opponent 11:4, narrowing the difference to 16 points.
However, Coach Frank was still not alert at this time, and only felt that his vote of water cooler manager really had no talent, nor was he a rookie or anything like that, and there was no value to cultivate. But the Celtic side saw that the opponent was unmoved, and naturally knew what it meant to 'quietly drip into the village, don't shoot and drop.' So I'm happy to continue to play on the court with this lineup.
After another period of time, Coach Frank finally found out that something was wrong, because when there were 3 minutes left in the third quarter of the game, the Celtics actually narrowed the difference to 11 points with their main bench, and this game was a little interesting, after all, there was a whole quarter of the game after that, and the difference of 11 points was not an insurmountable gap. And Brad Stevens obviously knew that his opponent had seen through his tricks, so he replaced Thomas Jr. and others with a big wave.
Suddenly, the main forces of the two sides suddenly began to compete again, but the two real cores of the Pacers are still sitting below watching the show, and Coach Frank is also afraid that he will end up with the name of helping players brush up on data when the time comes. But soon he had to replace Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan, because under the leadership of Thomas Jr., the combat effectiveness of the Celtics was not as low as imagined, on the contrary, because there was no containment of Ye Xuan, Thomas Jr. pressed Solomon Hill all the way to play, and at the end of the third quarter of the game, he successfully narrowed the difference between the two teams to 6 points, which is really nothing for a quarter of the game. The Rockets led by 14 points heading into the final quarter of the game, which was overturned by the Mavericks.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ye Xuan had to take off his training clothes again and go on the court to clean up the little Thomas who had already played a feeling, originally Ye Xuan felt that his teammates were very face-saving today, and they were ready to clock out and get off work, who knew that the Celtics would not admit defeat, and there was no choice but to put on the battle again and teach the opponent a good lesson (brush data).
After Ye Xuan returned to the court, he immediately used a three-point shot one step away from the three-point line to stabilize the situation on the court, and the Celtics were also taken aback by Ye Xuan's three-point shot, but fortunately, they are now chasing the momentum of the 17-point difference, ready to fight to the death with the Pacers, so they did not retreat because Ye Xuan and others were replaced again.
But the Celtics are still a little worse now, although after the trade, their offensive problems on the guard line have been solved, but their players at all positions have not fully grown, and they still look a little young in the face of the Pacers who are going all out. Maybe in a few years, when the Celtics gradually grow up and get one or two more strong stars, they will be able to make a difference in the league, but for now, they are still a little bit behind.
The Celtics, who quietly planned to chase points and chase most of the game, were very depressed in the end, and there was no way to rely on trickery to solve the lack of strength, they chased the points to the end like this, but the final result could only help Ye Xuan create another wave of opportunities to brush points and assists, Ye Xuan basically started his own assist plan again after shooting the first three points after he came on the court.
One will send an aerial relay to Hibbert on the inside, and the other will let West also open the meat through the return pass after the blocking, but Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper were replaced again for only 6 minutes, and the difference between the two teams was once again stretched to 13 points, and after having a double-digit lead, Ye Xuan was also more unscrupulous in brushing data. Fortunately, Coach Frank also understood the reason, so he hurriedly replaced Ye Xuan after he sent his twentieth assist.
At the end of the game, the Pacers came to the TD North Shore Garden Arena to defeat the Celtics again, Ye Xuan also became the public enemy of the Bostonians, the last time Ye Xuan played in this arena, he went crazy and slashed 69 points, breaking a lot of records in the arena, so that the 17 championship flags and 23 retired jerseys hanging above the stadium were eclipsed, and today he continued to brush the data in this arena, and the result made him brush out a super double-double data of 31 points and 20 assists. Although this data is really nothing compared to 69 points, this game did make the Celtics fans look too aggrieved, and they were about to complete the overtake, but Ye Xuan immediately extinguished the hope of the Celtics as soon as he came up.
However, the outside media are not concerned about the process, they pay more attention to the result, after learning that today is Ye Xuan's birthday, the media found the direction of the report, just like when O'Neal faced the Clippers on his birthday, he slashed 61 points and 23 boards, and today Ye Xuan was also on the same birthday night, playing 25 minutes and sending 20 assists wildly, and the efficiency value was simply too high.
And after ending this game, Ye Xuan also temporarily set a record, he is the only player with two 20+ assists this season, and there have actually been a total of 3 20+ assists this season, and the other was completed by John Wall, the boss of the Wizards team that the Pacers only defeated two days ago. In addition, Ye Xuan relied on 4 steals in this game, and successfully surpassed Kawhi Leonard, who ranked first, on the steal list with an average of 2.3 steals per game, and became the steal king of this season.
