Chapter 224: A Sharp Turn

But just when the Pacers were full of confidence to usher in the next opponent, the tough Grizzlies gave the Pacers a good lesson, Ye Xuan was closely guarded by Tony Allen in this game, and the efficiency was far less high than that of McCarvey in the last game, and because the Pacers are now empty inside, O'Neal Jr. is not the kind of big forward who can open up space, so it is difficult for Ye Xuan to find space to break through.

What's worse is that the Pacers are out of shape due to West's injury, and Hibbert doesn't know what's going on now, so he is a little out of shape, so the entire interior confrontation is at the bottom of the all-round one, and it can be said that it was completely blown up by the black and white bears. The inside line was completely blown up, and although Ye Xuan was able to defend Conley very uncomfortably in the confrontation on the outside, Ye Xuan was not able to take advantage of Tony Allen's defense.

The strongest point was targeted by the opponent, and the other points failed to open up the situation, and suddenly the Pacers' offense came to a standstill. In the first quarter of the game, even though Ye Xuan fought back desperately and scored 14 points and 3 assists alone, the Pacers still lost by as many as 7 points.

After Ye Xuan rested, the Pacers' offense was even more difficult, - Smith and others relied on chaotic battles to score points, and when Ye Xuan returned to the court in the second quarter, the Pacers were already behind by double digits. What makes people feel even more desperate is that the opponent's main lineup did not play during this time.

After that, the game felt completely one-sided, the offensive end of the Pacers could only rely on Ye Xuan to rush alone, and the interior line on the defensive end was frequently lost, although Ye Xuan had the intention to kill the enemy, but he was powerless. At the end of the game, the Pacers lost the game with a disparity of 91:108 on their home court, even though Ye Xuan desperately tried to save the situation when he had not yet entered garbage time, but he was still clocked out by the opponent in the third quarter.

After this game, the voices of various media singing about the Pacers began to come out again, especially some Ye Xuan's black fans, it has to be said that it is because Ye Xuan has dominated the ball alone for too long, so it has caused the Pacers' offense to come to a standstill, and even worse, Ye Xuan was directly included in the ranks of the team's cancer, comparing him with Marbury and other lone wolves.

Ye Xuan was of course very unhappy, but due to the schedule, the Pacers had to rush to Atlanta non-stop, because they had to challenge the Atlanta Hawks back-to-back a day later. After getting Paul Millsap last season, the Hawks didn't rush to show their interior twin towers, and Al Horford was injured.

But after this holiday of recuperation, the Atlanta Hawks have now regained their rightful strength. The result is naturally self-evident, the Pacers' interior line has been blown up again, whether it is Hibbert or O'Neal Jr., whether it is Masimmy or Scola, they are all at a disadvantage when facing Paul Millsap and Al Horford, two interior players who can be inside and outside.

Although Ye Xuan was also able to pass the opponent very calmly when facing Jeff Teague, and then helped himself or his teammates create good shooting opportunities, but because the interior was completely blown up by the opponent, the Pacers looked like they had a good chance in this game, but they were still in a state of lag.

By the end of the first two quarters, Ye Xuan had already used his personal ability to score 18 points and 7 assists, but he still couldn't stop the opponent's inner twin towers from scoring a high score of 39 points. In the second half, the Pacers still wanted to chase points, but the opponent's little yellow hair Schroder suddenly became powerful, and after coming off the bench, Smith attacked with the ball, and also hit consecutive shots.

All of a sudden, the difference between Ye Xuan, who had relied on Ye Xuan's sudden shooting to only 4 points, was once again stretched to as much as 10 points, and there was no need to say much in the last quarter, as Ye Xuan's physical strength gradually began to decline, the Pacers' momentum of chasing points was also slowed down, and this slowdown directly allowed the opponent to completely open the difference.

insisted on three quarters of the game, but collapsed again less than 5 minutes into the fourth quarter of the game, the Pacers ushered in a wave of two consecutive defeats, in fact, this is no way to do it, the two teams that the Pacers have encountered in a row, both have an absolute advantage on the inside, and the Pacers side of Hibbert, who is now the highest salary on the team, is a little sleepwalking, which is also the fundamental reason why the Pacers lost. Pickled peppers with an annual salary of 1,600 and West with an annual salary of 1,200 were injured, and Hibbert, who earned 1,500 a year, was sleepwalking again, and the Pacers' highest-paid players did not contribute, and the loss became a matter of course.

Fortunately, the Pacers immediately got a three-day vacation, and it was not until November 5 that they would face the opponent again on their home court, and this opponent seemed to be so amiable. Because this team is the Milwaukee Bucks, who finished at the bottom of the league last season.

This is like seeing relatives for the Pacers, who have lost two games in a row and have been scolded by the media. So in the face of the Bucks who came to deliver food, the Pacers were also unceremonious, and directly vented their frustration with a hearty victory. And Ye Xuan also got 30+10 super data again after the last game.

Speaking of which, the Bucks are also miserable, originally last season after a season of rotten, finally selected their favorite Jabari Parker, this season is preparing to show off their talents, but I don't know if the draft picks in recent years have a curse, Jabari Parker has another injury after playing a few preseason games, and an injury is expected to be out of action for half a year.

Relying on a brother who hasn't grown up yet, the Bucks are certainly no match for the Pacers. At 111:97, the Pacers finally stopped their losing streak and rewrote their record to two wins and two losses.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived, and the Pacers immediately set off for Washington, D.C., where they needed to challenge the Wizards back-to-back. It's also strange to say that the last back-to-back Pacers faced their opponents in the first round of last year's playoffs, and this time they immediately faced their opponents in the second round of last year's playoffs, and the opponent's interior strength is not weak. Although the opponent's main defensive player, Trevor Ariza, is no longer with the Wizards, but he has poached an old demon Paul Pierce.
