Fortunately, within three minutes of the start of the second quarter, the Pacers replaced Ye Xuan, who had plenty of rest time, Ye Xuan was also very strong after he came on the court, and even scored in three consecutive rounds under the sudden throw, and in one minute, the difference was pulled back to 8 points, and the Bulls immediately replaced Jimmy Butler in order not to give Ye Xuan too much space to play like this.

In fact, Jimmy Butler's physical fitness can indeed be described as a monster, or Tom Thibodeau's star players must have a durable body, after all, Thibodeau has been the head coach for several years, and at least one of his players will always be ranked in the top three in the list of average playing time per game in a single season, when Rose played so hard, Thibodeau actually let him average 38+ minutes per game, and now Jimmy Butler is the same, the average playing time per game is almost 40 minutes, It's also exaggerated.

However, Thibodeau didn't expect it, but replacing a Jimmy Butler could not pose much threat to Ye Xuan, with his own personal ability and tacit cooperation between teammates, although Ye Xuan faced Butler's defense, but the offensive efficiency was still very impressive, so after two minutes of the second quarter of the game, the Bulls had to replace all their main forces, and the Pacers also replaced several main players except Hibbert, and Hibbert's position became Masimmi.

The game is still the same, the offensive burden on the Pacers' side is basically on Ye Xuan alone, and the offensive pressure on Ye Xuan's side is too great, so he simply gave up the defense of Ross directly, and instead put Shambaught to defend Rose, and he focused on the offense, so that although the offensive pressure on the Pacers' side was much smaller, Ye Xuan's physical pressure was also relieved, but the Windy City Rose, which had just returned, was also released.

The second half of the second quarter of the game basically became a crazy confrontation between Ye Xuan and Rose, although Rose's state after returning from injury has not been particularly stable, and the efficiency of the offense has also declined, but when no one is to cover him or no one to do targeted defense against him, his offense is still very terrible.

At the end of the second quarter of the game, although the Pacers relied on Ye Xuan's 25 points on the offensive end to maintain the difference at 6 points, but after this half of the game, in fact, the Pacers have fallen behind, first of all, because of Ye Xuan's physical strength, which is a problem that the Pacers have always had, although I don't know why Ye Xuan is so fierce in some games that it seems like playing chicken blood, and some games can't even hold on for 35+ minutes.

The second is that when Ye Xuan consumed a lot of physical strength to impact the opponent's basket, the other players of the Bulls did not consume too much physical energy to make up for the defense, and basically let Jimmy Butler defend alone, although this gave Ye Xuan a chance to score, but also cut off Ye Xuan's passing route. Ye Xuan, who couldn't connect his teammates, actually dropped his power by a small half.

Obviously, Coach Frank on the sidelines also saw these problems, but what could they do, because he could basically only rely on Ye Xuan alone to drag the Pacers forward, and he had no other cards to play in his hand.

The halftime break ended quickly, and the two sides began their second half of the contest, the Bulls still let Jimmy Butler on the defensive end to contain Ye Xuan's play, but on the offensive end, they are not ready to continue to let Rose go head-to-head, on the one hand, in the distribution of the ball, they need to take care of Butler's feelings, and on the other hand, Rose has just returned, and it is not good to be tired again.

So at the beginning of the second half, the Bulls changed their offensive strategy and focused on Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol, which was actually quite similar to the Lakers back then, but Butler's shooting was a little weak, so it couldn't support it. Kobe Bryant's role, but in addition to these two people, the other positions of the Bulls are not weak, so although Ye Xuan played the whole quarter in the third quarter, he still couldn't cause much trouble to the Bulls, and the Bulls relied on their own multi-point opening, combining inside and outside, and still opened the score to 11 points.

And for the Pacers, what makes them even more desperate is that Ye Xuan has consumed a lot of physical strength after playing the third quarter, and it is obviously impossible for him to continue to help the team maintain the score on the court, and the Bulls are different, Rose, who did not make much use of the game in the third quarter, took a vote of substitutes to grab points after Ye Xuan went off the court, although Ye Xuan found that the situation was not right, and immediately took the initiative to apply to play, but he was still played by Rose with a substitute of 8:2 Xiao Gaochao, directly stretched the difference to 17 points.

After that, Ye Xuan returned to the court and led the team to play for a few minutes, seeing that there was no chance to catch up with the score, he simply gave up the game.

After Ye Xuan was replaced, the audience of the Pacers also looked a little disappointed, but there was no way to do it, Ye Xuan had already fought very hard today, but it was difficult to support it alone. At the end of the game, the Pacers lost to the visiting Bulls on their home court, Ye Xuan played a total of 36 minutes in the whole game, in addition to the 25 points scored in the first half of the game, Ye Xuan also scored crazy points in the third quarter, scoring a total of 49 points and 8 assists, but unfortunately the team still lost the game in the end, Ye Xuan was forced to join the air slash group again less than two months after successfully launching the air slash group.

After this game, the question of whether the Pacers are a strong team sounded again, because the Pacers really haven't lost in the face of these relatively strong teams, although after losing this game, the Pacers can still rank third in the East, but the Bulls who just defeated them have now chased the victory to only one, and the Raptors behind the Bulls are also eyeing the top four positions of the Pacers in the East. This made Coach Frank feel a bit of pressure as well.

Fortunately, the next few opponents are not particularly strong, and the next opponent, the Heat, has now been reduced to a second-rate team after losing James's big thick legs, not to mention their remaining two giants, Bosh and Wade, both of whom have encountered injury problems.
