Chapter 158: I Don't Promise!!
The Pacers re-served the ball in the backcourt, Ye Xuan decided to take advantage of the opponent's thinking inertia, secretly sneaked a few balls by himself, thinking about it, he came to the front court with the ball, and then waited for his teammates to come to the front court while controlling the ball.
Zhuge Wei frowned when he saw Ye Xuan actually attacking with the ball on his own, but then he thought that it might just be a sneak attack, so he didn't care too much. The Spurs' offense was still sharp, and the Pacers' formation was disrupted by consecutive breakaways, and then Ginobili hit another two-pointer.
However, because the Pacers had the three-point shot that Ye Xuan shot just now to lay the foundation, after being scored by the opponent, they did not seem as panicked as in the first game, Ye Xuan did not choose to carry the ball himself this time, but handed over the task to George Hill, who slowly brought the ball to the front court, and passed the ball to Pickle Pepper, and Pickle Pepper was also an impatient, and immediately forced to break through Danny Green in front of him, wanting to recover the score for the team.
However, Pickle Pepper is not the kind of person who will only fight alone, and the afterglow swept to Solomon Hill has been quietly ambushed near the bottom left corner, and after he passed Danny Green from the left side in two steps, he just attracted Ginobili, who was originally defending Solomon Hill, to come over to make up for the defense, Pickle Pepper passed the ball to Solomon Hill, who immediately pulled up and hit another three-pointer, which instantly stabilized the position for the Pacers.
And the Spurs, today's protagonist seems to have become the vulture of the Pampas, Ginobili's performance in the first two quarters today is decent, not too eye-catching, but in the second half of the third quarter of the game, Ginobili suddenly began to wield, so far, Ginobili's shot has been 10 of 11 shots, super high efficiency, and 6 of them are three-pointers, and hit 5 of them, which is the main reason why the Spurs can catch up with the gap of more than ten points.
This round of offense is no exception, Parker handed the ball to Dio after controlling the ball to the front court, and Dio did the axis in the high post, not only controlling the ball, but also observing the running position of his teammates, Ginobili also used Dio to make a wall, successfully got rid of George Hill's defense, and then received Dio's wonderful pass and hit the shot again.
In the next few rounds, Ye Xuan couldn't find any good shots, but fortunately, Pickled Pepper's performance was also very good, and he has been helping the Pacers not to be overtaken by the opponent, and the opponent's lineup has gradually shown fatigue, that is, their hand has begun to decline, first Ginobili's mid-range shot hit iron, and then Danny Green's three-point shot also smashed out of the basket.
The Pacers also took advantage of the opponent's several missed shots to regain control of the situation on the court, and although they failed to pull the score away, they at least stabilized their position and were not overwhelmed by the opponent's strong attack. The old man obviously found a problem too,
So the lineup was adjusted again, and Duncan, who was given plenty of rest, was replaced, along with Duncan's interior bodyguard Split.
Now the Spurs' on-court lineup has become Duncan and Split on the inside, Leonard as the defensive spearhead, and the backcourt combination is Ginobili and Parker, whom the Spurs have used for more than a decade. The Pacers, of course, made a corresponding change, replacing Solomon Hill with Hibbert to defend Duncan.
At this time, the score between the two teams was 105-107, and the Pacers still had a two-point advantage, but the ball was in the hands of the Spurs. At the end of the timeout, the Spurs served the ball from the sideline, and as soon as the ball was released, Parker immediately hoisted the ball into the inside, hoping that Duncan could open up the situation for his side, and Duncan did not disappoint them, a light back turned back to hit the board and hit the ball, and the two teams returned to the same running line.
The offense on the Pacers' side came to a standstill again, Hill brought the ball to the frontcourt, and passed the ball directly to Pickle Pepper, who wanted to use his body to force a single Ginobili, but after passing the bald man, Pickle Pepper's shot failed to score points, but let the Spurs grab the rebound and quickly play a counterattack, and Leonard threw in a three-pointer.
Immediately, the situation fell to the side of the Spurs, and the commentary on the sidelines was also saying that they hoped that the Pacers could bounce back, otherwise, the tragedy of being overturned by the opponent in the first game would happen again. Ye Xuan silently ran to the front court, while quickly thinking about how to deal with it.
After coming to the front court again, the Pacers generals still chose to believe in Pickled Pepper, and after Pickled Pepper received the pass, he held the ball again and beat Ginobili, but Ginobili wittily chose a foul after being passed by the opponent, and did not give Pickled Pepper a chance to shoot, because the number of fouls did not arrive, the Pacers could only serve on the sideline.
Hill sent the ball to Ye Xuan's hand on the sideline, Ye Xuan took advantage of the confusion when serving to get rid of Leonard's defense, and then did not hesitate to pull out his hand directly after receiving the ball, this shot was still more than two steps away from the three-point line, but the basketball still drilled straight into the basket.
After shooting the ball, Ye Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if he missed this shot and the opponent hit the ball again, the game would be suspended, but after hitting this ultra-long three-point shot, the score of the two sides was tied again, which also relieved the audience of the Pacers.
The Spurs wanted to chase after the victory, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Pacers' weak offense to take the opponent away in a wave, but they still underestimated the Pacers' determination to win.
West grabbed the backcourt rebound and quickly passed the ball to Hill, Hill immediately started to rush to the frontcourt, Parker and Leonard on the Spurs' side reacted very quickly and immediately returned to defense, but the Pacers' reaction was also very fast, Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan were also desperately chasing the frontcourt, and when Parker was about to catch up with Hill, Hill made a lateral pass and stuffed the ball into the hand of Pickled Pepper, who was just keeping up.
Pickled Pepper received the ball and was about to continue to break through, at this time Leonard's return defense was also in place, directly blocking Pickled Pepper's way, but in this way, Ye Xuan was empty, although Ginobili also struggled to chase back, but after Ye Xuan received the basketball, he took two steps in the direction of the bottom corner, and then took a step back to the three-point line, pulled out his hand again, and hit it.
