Chapter 388: Carelessness is a record
The Pacers ended the third game of their Eastern Conference semifinals, Ye Xuan played 34 minutes in this game, scored 28 points plus 11 assists and 3 steals, but the most 'surprising' thing is that Ye Xuan actually had two rebounds in this game, you must know that Ye Xuan contributed less than 20 rebounds in total throughout the regular season, and now he actually 'grabbed' 2 boards in one game, could it be that Ye Xuan is going to awaken his rebounding talent? However, if you take a closer look at the game video, you know that this is just an accident in an accident, the two rebounds were picked up by Ye Xuan, and one of them was even Ye Xuan standing outside the three-point line, and the basketball jumped out by himself.
However, Ye Xuan still created a record in this game, that is, the number of consecutive free throws in the playoffs, although this season's playoffs cannot be counted as more than half, but Ye Xuan has broken the record of consecutive free throws in the playoffs created by himself last season, which can also see that Ye Xuan's style of play is changing, last season Ye Xuan's record reached 76 because of Ye Xuan's ultra-high free throw shooting rate, but now Ye Xuan has only played 7 playoff games this season, He has already made 77 free throws, and he has hit all of them, averaging 11 free throws per game, which is indeed a little unbelievable, but Ye Xuan's current style of play does allow him to get more free throws, and his threat is also increasing day by day, so that other teams sometimes have to foul him, and finally, of course, the support of our president, Xiao Hua, is indispensable, which allows Ye Xuan to get so many free throws.
But it's a pity that although Ye Xuan's data in this game is very eye-catching, the best player in the end was snatched away by Pickle Pepper again, because Pickled Pepper's performance today is also very eye-catching, playing the same 34 minutes, scoring a game-high 29 points, and while giving 7 assists, he grabbed 9 rebounds, and Pickled Pepper also contributed two blocks and two steals on the defensive end, and the most important thing is that Pickled Pepper only had one mistake in this game, and Ye Xuan's game was because of being capped and trapped, So there were three blunders.
In fact, Ye Xuan is also very strange, why he has been pumping seventy or eighty skills back and forth now, but he still hasn't even drawn an E-level rebounding talent, because he doesn't have the support of rebounding talent, so he always predicts the wrong place when grabbing rebounds, or he doesn't have this awareness directly when grabbing rebounds, in his mind, the first reaction to seeing rebounds is fast break and retreat, which is why Ye Xuan basically can't grab rebounds. But now Ye Xuan knows that if he wants to become an all-round superstar in the future, the black spot of not grabbing rebounds must be eliminated, otherwise you will have dozens of rebounds throughout the season and you will not let others take them out and make a good laugh?
After the Pacers played Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the first three games of the four semifinals have all ended, and the Pacers in the East have a 2-1 lead over the Hawks, the first in the East, and the latest game is a crushing victory. The Cavaliers, in the absence of Love, still led the Bulls 2:1, originally in the second game after the Bulls defeated their opponents on the road, everyone thought that the Cavaliers had run out of gas, but they didn't expect that in the third game, James directly forced to play for 42 minutes, cutting 37 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, and James scored 14 points in the final quarter to end the game, and also proved his dominance to everyone.
The situation in the West is a big surprise to a group of people, the first Warriors in the West beat the Grizzlies by 16 points in the first game, and in the second and third games were blown up by the opponent inside, two games down, the Grizzlies' inside black and white double bears teamed up to score 115 points of horror, which also proves to everyone from the side that the Warriors' lineup still has weaknesses, and the Warriors, the No. 1 team in the West, are also 1:2 behind the Grizzlies after three games.
In the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, the menacing Rockets were given a slap in the face by the Clippers, and in the case of the Clippers missing their brain, Chris Paul, the Rockets actually lost to their opponents by as many as 16 points on their home court, and the scene was also very ugly, Howard was blown up by Jordan Jr. and Griffin on the inside, and Harden was not able to play to his advantages on the guard line.
In the second game, the Clippers still didn't have Paul, but in this game, the Rockets found their game form and tied the score 1-1 with a small 109-115 victory. But just when everyone thought that the Rockets had found a way to defeat their opponents, Paul returned, although he only played 23 minutes, but he contributed 12 points, 7 assists and two steals at once, and directly revitalized the game, and finally after returning to Staples Arena, the Clippers beat the Rockets to a disgrace with a 99-124 victory. The Rockets, who are second in the West, also trailed the Clippers 1-2 after losing this game.
In the four groups, except for the Cavaliers, who have a home-court advantage and take the lead, the other three teams with home-court advantage are all 1:2 behind their opponents, so if you look at it this way, the strength of the leaders on both sides is not particularly outstanding.
However, compared with the western side, the strength gap reflected in the eastern side may be greater, after all, the eastern side of the Hawks is basically in the situation of full personnel, and the feel is relatively good, the Pacers won by nearly 20 points, and the Cavaliers forced their own personal ability to lead the Cavaliers who lacked a big general to defeat the Bulls during the outbreak of Rose's return.
On the other hand, on the Western side, the reason why the Warriors lost was more because their outside duo was very uncomfortable defended by Conley and Tony Allen, which led to the second and third games, the Splash Brothers' shooting percentage was very low, and the strongest of the Grizzlies happened to be the inside, relying on the strong strength of the interior, the Grizzlies won two games. The Rockets' side is more complicated, Harden and Howard don't know if they are going out again, the performance in these games is not particularly good, if these two play to the fullest, the Rockets should still have the strength to fight.
