And Pickled Pepper's choice at a critical moment and Rondo's way of handling the ball in overtime also caused some unhappiness between the two, although it didn't show it at the time, but after returning to the locker room, the conflict still broke out, and Ye Xuan also knew the news from his friend Solomon Hill, since Ye Xuan left, in addition to Pickled Pepper, only Solomon Hill still has contact with Ye Xuan, and because of Ye Xuan's departure, plus the team's various reinforcements, So Solomon Hill's playing time this season is getting less and less, and his status in the team is getting lower and lower, at the beginning, he was used as a defensive leader, and then gradually found that he didn't need to defend, Solomon Hill's order of play is getting lower and lower, and now Frank Vogel only lets him play for less than 10 minutes a game, so he is still a little unhappy in his heart, often complaining and complaining to Ye Xuan, and even mentioning that after his contract expires, The idea of going to Ye Xuan.

has already fallen behind 1:3, and now his team's main point guard has a conflict with his core general, which gives Vogel a headache, coupled with the Cavaliers' terrible stability and sudden outbursts from time to time, which makes it very difficult for the Pacers to turn the tables. In the fifth game, the two teams came to the Conseco Arena again, although there were some problems within the team, but Frank Vogel is also a championship coach, and he can still hold some of the field, so although Rondo is a little unruly, it is still temporarily suppressed.

The Pacers can be said to be a back-to-back battle in this game, and the Pacers' defensive intensity at the beginning of the game was obviously much stronger than the first two games, and the physical contact was also more, fortunately, both the league and the fans hoped that the Pacers could win this game, so in the case of a big score of 1:3 behind, the Pacers still received some preferential treatment at their home court. The battle loss ratio is obviously the Pacers occupy the top, when the third quarter of the game was 8 minutes into play, the Cavaliers finally couldn't stand it, Tristan Thompson was the first to be fouled for six fouls, and the other main players of the Cavaliers, George Hill 4 fouls, James 3 fouls, even Irving 4 fouls, although the Pacers said that Jordan Hill had 5 fouls on his back, and Tyson Chandler also had 4 fouls, but their offensive main Pickles Pepper was still healthy, with only two fouls。

After losing the only inside gate, the Cavaliers' next game was even more difficult, and finally the game went on and off for more than two hours, and finally ended with the Pacers winning 89-81 at home, the game ended, the two teams were blown a total of 63 fouls, the Cavaliers were sent off two, and the Pacers also sent off one, the game process was not watched, basically just watching the referee perform on the court, but no matter what the process is, The Pacers at least learned from their Warriors, last year's Finals rivals, and struggled to drag the game into Game 6.

But in the sixth game, the Pacers were not able to continue the magic, it was originally an away game, and today's Pacers did not have the kind of shooting rate in the first two games, so at the end of the first half, the opponent was led by 11 points, at halftime, the internal contradictions finally broke out under the huge pressure from the outside world, Pickle Pepper accused Rondo's way of playing too selfishly, and did not follow the tactics at all, while Rondo said that his tactics were more efficient than Frank Vogel's, In order to maintain his authority as a head coach, he simply did not let Rondo play in the second half, but instead let Louis Williams appear in the starting lineup for the second half.

The result was obvious, the Pacers ended up in Game 6 of the East, and the Cavaliers avenged their elimination by the Pacers in Game 6 of the East last season. After this game, the Cavaliers managed to advance to the Finals, where they faced the Warriors, who defeated the Thunder in a tie-break two days later.

And after the Pacers were eliminated, the comments from the outside world also changed the conversation, directly changing the Pacers' rating of Ye Xuan's deal from the beginning of the steady profit and no loss, to the present' After all, the Pacers have always been a strong contender for the championship, and although they did play well in the regular season after the trade, but in the most critical playoffs, they exposed the weakness of their lack of ability to fight hard, when they originally had Ye Xuan, the Pacers still had two strong points to meet, and now there is only one pickled pepper left to support independently, which naturally cannot be compared, although there are many scoring points in exchange, but when it comes to the critical moment, none of them are easy to use。

At this time, the time has come to the beginning of June, Ye Xuan after half a month of running-in, but also familiar with the rest of the team, and Ye Xuan finally ushered in the first game of his national team career, at this time the second training before the Olympic Games, although there are still two months before the Olympic Games, but in the middle of these times Ye Xuan and others in addition to training, there is also a Stankovic Cup to practice, in fact, it is said to be a training camp, but the intensity is not particularly large, For Ye Xuan, it was just a simple warm-up, and because he could go out as usual, it was not a formal training camp.

On the second day of the NBA's division finals to decide the winner, Ye Xuan also took a plane to Greece and came to Europe with the team to conduct European training before the Olympic Games.

And the result naturally did not disappoint everyone, although Ye Xuan was representing the Chinese team for the first time, but Gong Gui still trusted Ye Xuan more, gave Ye Xuan full freedom, let him start, and then play freely. This time, the Greek team facing the Chinese team is obviously not all the main players, and the more famous players such as Brother Alphabet and Spanoulis have not returned to the team, but the absolute main force of the competition such as Karahis, Fortesis, and Ivan Vecchiokas are all in the lineup, so the strength should not be underestimated.

Ye Xuan actually didn't have any pressure on his side, and compared to the players who had experienced strong winds and waves, they were definitely much stronger than these players who were still working hard in Europe, but the wolf pack tactics and exquisite cooperation of the Greek team still made the Chinese team suffer some small losses at the beginning of the game, but as Ye Xuan entered the game state, the Chinese team slowly took control of the situation of the game.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team actually got a rare high score of 31 points, of which 17 points were obtained by Ye Xuan, and the remaining 14 points and 12 points were obtained with Ye Xuan's assist, although under the rules of FIBA, Ye Xuan's chances of scoring inside became fewer, but in the same way, their three-point line was really a little close to Ye Xuan, so in the first quarter alone, Ye Xuan had two steps away from the three-point line after just controlling the ball after half court. directly pulled up a three-point shot, which caught the Greek team off guard.

However, in the second quarter, as Ye Xuan was replaced and rested, the Greek team also organized a wave of strong counterattacks, and the men's basketball team still has too many young players, far less than the Greek team, which is still the main candidate for 85 years, so although it seems that the talent and skills of the players on the court are superior to the Chinese team, but they have not been able to play the effect they should have. Fortunately, because it is a FIBA rule, there are only 40 minutes in a game, and 40 minutes is not too tiring for Ye Xuan, even if he plays the whole game, so after a 3-minute break in the second quarter, Ye Xuan was decisively replaced again.

Next is the rhythm of the swoop, unlike the core of the previous Chinese team, Ye Xuan is an outside player, which means that he has the ability to score independently, under this premise, it is more difficult to stop Ye Xuan from scoring than to stop Yao Ming before, plus Ye Xuan is the NBA's regular season MVP level player, so of course not the opponent can be defended by a player, sometimes the Greek team even has to be broken through by Ye Xuan.

Under the excellent play of Ye Xuan's absolute strong point, the Chinese team also regained a 15-point lead shortly after the start of the third quarter of the game, although this advantage is already a relatively large lead in the NBA, but it is not too much in the FIBA game, but this is enough for Ye Xuan and other main players to rest for a while. Because it is a warm-up friendly match in the training stage, the Greek team does not see the outcome of the game very seriously, and after seeing that the Chinese team took the initiative to replace the main team, they also replaced some young players to exercise.

In the end, the game ended with the Chinese team defeating the Greek team 99-82, and Ye Xuan's performance in this game simply showed the world what the NBA regular season MVP can do in a team with only one star. Although Ye Xuan only played 23 minutes in the whole game, he actually scored 43 points, and there were 9 assists, which is also one of the reasons why the Greek team collapsed in an instant, and the FIBA three-point line is too friendly for Ye Xuan, 27 of the 43 points in this game are from outside the three-point line, this super three-point projection ability is also destined to make Ye Xuan more powerful under the rules of FIBA.

After the game with the Greek team, the Chinese team rested for a few days, and then rushed to Turkey, they were going to have a warm-up match with the Turkish team with Asik, in fact, it was a European training, for Ye Xuan, it was similar to European tourism, a few days after the game, Ye Xuan left the team to play in several scenic spots in Greece, not that Ye Xuan did not have a collective concept, but the palace director drove him out of the training hall, Because Ye Xuan's performance of hitting more than 100 three-pointers in a row during training not only proved that he was strong, but also hit some other players on the side, so just like when he was on the Pacers, Gong Gui also kicked Ye Xuan out of the training gym like Frank Vogel.

In the next two weeks, the Chinese team also played 5 warm-up games in Europe, including in addition to the game with Italy, because the opponent has Gallinari and Belinelli, two NBA-level players, and is ahead of the Chinese team in many aspects of cooperation, so it defeated the Chinese team that came to challenge, the other Turkey, Czech Republic and Germany teams have suffered heavy defeats, and the Greek team has lost a full 17 points, which is already a relatively small loss in this circle. The sad Czech team lost 39 points in the three quarters of the game played by Ye Xuan, and finally lost 36 points to the Chinese team with 104:68, while Turkey has an Asik who worked hard in the NBA, but its strength is still relatively weak, and under Ye Xuan's various ball-holding attacks, it was also quickly defeated, and finally lost to the Chinese team by 98:66 by 32 points.

Although the combat effectiveness of the German team is not bad, the old driver has already withdrawn from the national team because of his advanced age, so the German team also did not escape the clutches of the Chinese team, and lost to the Chinese team by 20 points 89:69, which is still because Gong Gui did not continue to use Ye Xuan's big killer in the second half. Even in the game with Italy, the Chinese team actually only lost by 7 points in the end, if it weren't for the fact that Gong Gui didn't let Ye Xuan play in the third quarter in order to train the troops, the win or loss of this game is still unknown.

After these five games, Ye Xuan also showed his strength to other countries in the world, 5 warm-up games, Ye Xuan, who played an average of only 28 minutes per game, The average score per game is as high as 41.5 points, almost every game can shoot more than 8 three-pointers, this kind of offensive firepower, directly like an adult beating a child, and the outside world at the beginning of the evaluation of the Chinese team is not too high, as a result of the 5 warm-up games, the handicap of the major spinach has changed, the Chinese team's odds to win the championship have changed from the original 1 to 69 or more, to the current 1 to 7.2, which shows how optimistic the outside world is that the Chinese team can achieve good results in the Olympic Games.
