Chapter 153: The Beginning of Strength (Part II)
On the Pacers' side, Scola protected the backcourt rebound, and Duncan, who failed to grab the frontcourt rebound, waved his hand at the bald man, expressing a trace of dissatisfaction with the latter's too casual shot, and then could only run to his backcourt helplessly, while Scola handed the ball to George Hill to control.
Hill quickly brought the ball to the front court, and then handed the ball to Ye Xuan. Holding the ball again to face Mills, Ye Xuan did not hesitate to directly force a breakthrough through the opponent, but this time, Mills's reaction was very timely, and it was able to jam Ye Xuan's offensive line, but Ye Xuan was not so easy to defend, after a sharp stop and retreated to open the distance between him and Mills, Ye Xuan quickly threw the ball, Mills failed to follow Ye Xuan's footsteps due to the inertia when retreating, and could only watch Ye Xuan hit this shot again.
The defensive end was constantly broken by Ye Xuan, and Mills on the offensive end also began to have problems, after the ball came to the frontcourt, Mills was going to hoist the ball to Duncan, who asked for the ball on the inside, but the force of the pass was not well controlled, and the result was directly held in the arms of Solomon Hill, who came out of the side.
Ye Xuan saw Solomon Hill steal the hand, so he didn't look back quickly and quickly, when Ye Xuan had already rushed over the middle line, Solomon Hill passed the ball out without hurry, the basketball passed through Ginobili and Mills, and went straight into Ye Xuan's hands, looking at Ye Xuan who was empty in front of him, he directly stopped outside the three-point line with a sudden brake, and then calmly shot three points, as soon as the ball was thrown, Ye Xuan began to run back without looking back, and began to raise his hand to celebrate while running.
And the basketball went straight into the basket under the gaze of the audience, which made the audience at the scene let out a burst of cheers, Ye Xuan's celebration of paying tribute to Arenas also became the talk of everyone after the game, I don't know how Nick Yang would feel when he saw Ye Xuan successfully pretend to be a forced that he did not pretend to be successful.
After Ye Xuan hit this fast-break three-pointer, the Pacers also officially stretched the difference between the two teams to 10 points, and Ye Xuan played less than two minutes in the second quarter of the game, and he had already scored 8 points efficiently, hitting all three shots, including a free throw and a three-pointer.
And the Spurs obviously couldn't accept being led by so many points by the opponent in less than 2 minutes, so the old man directly called a timeout and replaced Leonard, who hadn't rested enough, hoping to rely on him to contain Ye Xuan's offense.
After the pause, Ye Xuan saw that the nasty facial paralysis pigtail head was on the court again, and he secretly hated the old man in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he could only silently come to Mills to defend, after Mills came to the front court with the ball, he chose to hoist the ball into the inside again, this time there was no mistake in the pass, Duncan successfully received the basketball, and then hit Marcin Mi with his back in the low post, which finally stopped the decline for the Spurs.
On Ye Xuan's side, he obviously didn't want to become timid because Leonard was on the court, so when George Hill dribbled the ball to the front court, Ye Xuan stuck the position in the low position on the left side, and then asked Hill for the ball, and after receiving Hill's pass, Ye Xuan sank down and prepared to single Leonard with his back.
Leonard couldn't help sneering when he saw that Ye Xuan wanted to single himself with his back again, because in the last game, Ye Xuan also made such an attempt, and he was easily defended by Leonard, so Leonard didn't pay much attention to Ye Xuan's low position again.
After Ye Xuan received the ball, he tested Leonard with his back, and then directly turned around with his back to receive a backward jumper and threw the ball, although Leonard pounced in time to block, but after Ye Xuan turned his back, he had already opened up a little distance between the two, plus Ye Xuan still leaned back to shoot, so Leonard's long arm did not interfere with Ye Xuan's shot, after a few days of training, Ye Xuan's move to turn around and fall back to jump shot has been practiced relatively well, and this shot was directly drilled into the basket without accident.
The old man on the field saw that Ye Xuan faced Leonard's defense, and actually used his low-post offensive skills to score the ball again, and immediately felt a little bad, but it could not be ruled out that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse when the opponent was in charge, so he didn't particularly care.
The Spurs re-served in the backcourt, still hanging the ball to Duncan, still Duncan's low-post back single, but the difference is that this time Masimmy did not give Shi Buddha a chance to shoot, and after Duncan turned around, he directly knifed the ball in Duncan's hand with a palm, and Solomon Hill on the side quickly flew out of the bottom line and saved the ball that flew out of the bottom line after the knife fell on Masimmy's thigh and flew out to the bottom line.
Masin Mi happened to receive the ball saved by Solomon Hill, and quickly handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan quickly moved forward after receiving the ball, although Leonard on the side had been interfering with Ye Xuan's dribbling, but Ye Xuan still firmly controlled the ball to the front court, and then cleverly flicked his wrist and handed the ball directly to George Hill who followed up from behind.
This three-point shot seemed to kill the Spurs, smashing the Spurs' plan to chase points, and now they replaced Leonard in advance, not only did not close the score, but because of mistakes, the opponent seized the opportunity again, and stretched the difference to 13 points in one fell swoop.
The stone Buddha is still the stone Buddha, although the team is 13 points behind, although the opponent only used his mistake to shoot a chasing three-pointer in the last round, but when Mills handed the ball into Duncan's hands again, Duncan was still so calm, sinking down and hitting Masimmi again, although Masimmi also wanted to defend the ball, but the calm Duncan used his experience and skills to successfully shake Masimmi away in a few clicks, and then ended the attack with a slap.
On the Pacers' side, Ye Xuan seemed to have found confidence, and after coming to the front court, he asked Hill for the ball again, and gestured to his teammates to pull away and let him play alone, but obviously Ye Xuan's frontal attack was still a little bit hot, and under Leonard's strict guard, Ye Xuan's offense finally ended in iron.
Coach Frank on the court saw Ye Xuan taking the initiative to ask for the ball and singles, and knew that he was going to suffer, so after Ye Xuan's shooting was ironed, he had already begun to signal Pickled Pepper to warm up and prepare to play.
