Chapter 289: The Crucial Fourth Section

The Warriors didn't expect Ye Xuan to be able to maintain such an excellent state in today's game, and he also played continuously, he originally felt that he had many offensive points on his side, and he could easily pull the score away when Ye Xuan was off the court, but he didn't expect Ye Xuan to not give them a chance to open the score, and directly returned to the court.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, in fact, the Warriors were not really strong, so although the Pacers had been taking the initiative in this game under the leadership of Ye Xuan, the Warriors fighting at home did not feel a trace of panic. And when the fourth quarter continued for another 4 minutes, the Warriors finally replaced Curry, who was substituted off the court, and it was time for the two teams to enter the final showdown.

After Curry was substituted, he did not shoulder the task of handling the ball, and the Warriors were still responsible for ball control and organization. However, because this game did not last long, Curry's physical strength is relatively abundant, although Ye Xuan has no physical problems, but when the physical Curry starts to run with full horsepower, Ye Xuan still seems a little difficult, although he can barely keep up with Curry's running position, but if he is interfered with by Barnes or Iguodala's off-ball cover halfway, he can only be forced to lose his position, although the Pacers' change of defense is not slow, Overall, though, the results weren't particularly good.

Coupled with Thompson, Green and Iguodala also began to exert their strength, the main players of the Pacers, who had played three and a half quarters of the game, were suddenly a little overwhelmed and were scored by opponents one after another. Although Ye Xuan can also cause a lot of trouble to the opponent on the offensive end, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and when the opponent is blooming across the board, the balance of victory is still tilting towards the Warriors step by step.

In the blink of an eye, the fourth quarter was already nine minutes into play, and some of the small advantages the Pacers had made in the early part of the fourth quarter had long been wiped out by the overwhelming onslaught of opponents. With the last three minutes left in the game, the score of the two teams came to 99:101, and the Pacers were two points behind, although they were only two points behind, and the Pacers still had the ball, but you must know that the Pacers were 6 points ahead of the opponent at most in the fourth quarter, which means that the opponent recovered 8 points at full firepower, and now it is still 2 points ahead.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan was very decisive today, exchanging the large physical recovery potion that he had been reluctant to use before, and used it decisively, otherwise the situation of the Pacers would be very dangerous now. After a short timeout, the Pacers regrouped and returned to the court, Ye Xuan led West, Scola and Solomon Smith on the court against the opponent's death five, and due to today's poor form, Shambaugh was pressed to the bench in the final moments.

Although the lineup on the court rotated relatively well when the opponent's death was five hours old, it was much worse in rebounding protection than when Hibbert was on the court, so this lineup was not able to help the Pacers overtake the score in the next two minutes, but due to poor protection on rebounding, the opponent extended the lead to 4 points.

There is still 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the time, the Pacers have the ball, but the team is still a full 4 points behind, Ye Xuan is really under pressure at this time, you must know that this game is almost his strongest state, and now he has played 40 minutes, scored 49 points plus 8 assists, not to mention that he has 3 steals. So Ye Xuan was bound to win this game, and Coach Frank obviously also made the final bet on Ye Xuan, and did not make too much arrangement during the pause, only said one thing, that is, let Ye Xuan complete the last-minute performance by himself.

After the pause, the Pacers sideline served, Ye Xuan slowly controlled the basketball and came to the front court, facing Iguodala who was waiting in front of him, Ye Xuan rushed towards the opponent's left hand without hesitation, Iguodala chased after him, but although Ye Xuan had gone through 40 minutes of high-intensity play, his current physical strength was still quite good with the help of two bottles of medicine, so it was easy to accelerate past Iguodala, and in the face of Green, who came over to make up for it, Ye Xuan calmly lowered his hand, Handed the ball to West behind Green, West picked up the ball and pulled it up as a mid-range shot, the ball hit!

The Pacers narrowed the gap to 2 points, while the Warriors were very calm, slowly controlling the ball to the frontcourt, and Curry slowly wasting time at the top of the arc, apparently preparing to reduce the number of offenses the Pacers could get. I have to say that Curry still stood up at the critical moment, under Ye Xuan's defense, he flashed out of space under the double cover of Iguodala and Thompson, and hit the Pacers' interior to cause Scola's foul, and easily shot both free throws, which not only consumed a lot of game time, but also still gave the Warriors a 4-point lead over the Pacers.

There are 40 seconds left in the game, the Pacers are still 4 points behind, Ye Xuan did not choose to play steadily, after receiving the ball from the backcourt, he rushed straight towards the opponent's half, using two consecutive changes of direction to shake Iguodala away again, and then under the condition of Thompson's supplemental defense, a back pass sent the ball to the leaking Solomon Hill, although Curry tried his best to save, but Solomon Hill still hit the ball steadily, Ye Xuan's data came to 48 points and 10 assists, Another super double-double, with the Pacers trailing by just one point with 30 seconds left on the clock.

The Warriors are still in the lead, so they still chose to press down the time, but this time, Ye Xuan did not let Curry find another opportunity, under Ye Xuan's close watching, Curry finally had to pass the ball to Iguodala near the 45-degree angle, - Smith shook away, and then immediately killed the Pacers' inside, but fortunately, West immediately came over and hugged him down, not letting him score two points directly. But the bad news is that West received his sixth foul and had to go off, and if Iguodala made both free throws, then even if the Pacers could shoot three points at the last moment, they could only go into overtime.
