Chapter 85: The First Battle of the Second Round

Time came to May 11th in a blink of an eye, and the Pacers, who had rested for ten days, will finally welcome a new challenger at home.

Offensively, John Wall is very well-balanced on the dribble, often making very strange changes, sudden changes in pace and alternating dribbles with both hands, and he often relies on his dribbling to get away from opponents; The pace is very fast, and the first step and even the jump speed is very amazing. He's good at getting the pace of the game, taking control of a one-on-one duel that he can do, either shooting himself or passing to teammates in the gap.

In the half-court offense and defense, John Wall's shortcomings are more obvious, after the tempo is down, he has to organize the offense solidly, the defender gives him space to shoot, but chokes his breakthrough and passing routes, he even disappears on the court when facing the zone defense, and once he can't run, his efficiency drops sharply. Unless it's a dunk, Wall has a problem with his layups under pressure from defenders, his three-point shooting percentage is inconsistent, his hands are good before he shoots, and his wrists look beautiful and confident after shooting, but the more important issue is the consistency of his movements.

In the 2012-13 season, John Wall took on more scoring tasks while his organizational efficiency also improved. Although Wall occasionally gets out of control because of his superstitious speed, his big-picture vision is at an upper-middle-to-middle level.

Defensively, John Wall's long arms are good for defense, especially blocks and steals. However, he relies more on his body when defending, and his blocks per minute are even comparable to LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, but Wall's defensive skills and awareness need to be improved - the efficiency of a point guard against him is as high as 19.7.

So Coach Frank asked Ye Xuan not only to limit Wall's breakthrough on the defensive end, but also hoped that Ye Xuan would also cause some trouble for Wall on the offensive end, and after the Wizards lost the engine of Wall, it would become easier to defeat them.

As soon as the game began, Hilario relied on his bounce to shoot the basketball first. After Wall received the ball, he immediately wanted to attack quickly, but Ye Xuan on the side had already guarded against him, directly blocking the direction he started, Wall saw that there was no chance to break fast, so he slowed down his pace, slowly brought the ball outside the three-point line, and then handed it to Beal to deal with.

After Bradley Beal received the ball, he was also a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and in the face of Pickled Pepper, who was selected for the best defensive team, he directly chose to force a breakthrough, but was stuck in the way by Pickled Pepper, Lance Stephenson on the side hurriedly went over to wrap the clip, Pickled Pepper took the opportunity to reach out and grab the ball in the opponent's arms, but Bill was also the master who would not let go, the two scrambled, both fell to the ground, and the referee immediately ran over to whistle, and then looked at the replay and awarded a scrum.

The 1.96-meter Bill jump ball is obviously not the opponent of the 2.06-meter-06 pickled pepper, the pickled pepper jumped up and slapped the ball back, Hibbert immediately jumped up to take the basketball, and then handed the ball to Ye Xuan on the side, after Ye Xuan took the ball, he found that the opponent returned to defense quickly, obviously he had studied Ye Xuan's routine, so he was not in a hurry to advance quickly, after all, his positional combat ability was not impossible.

After slowly dribbling to the front court, in the face of John Wall's defense, Ye Xuan chose to break through directly, after a crotch change of hands, he took a feint to worship Buddha, and originally wanted to shake Wall away and then enter the penalty area, who knows, Wall is the kind of opportunist, and immediately pounced on Ye Xuan with a gambling steal after seizing a gap.

Ye Xuan's worship of the Buddha has not been completed, he was startled by Wall's sudden steal, fortunately, his reaction was also fast, and the direct worship of the Buddha turned into a two-handed grasp of the ball, which was not taken away by Wall, but this time Ye Xuan couldn't dribble the ball, and Trevor Ariza next to him immediately came over to wrap Ye Xuan when he saw the opportunity.

Fortunately, the pickled pepper next to him came to support in time, Ye Xuan hurriedly passed the ball to the pickled pepper, and then pulled aside to let the pickled pepper single, the pickled pepper has the height and weight of a small forward, but the flexibility is no worse than that of a scoring guard, and it looks very easy when he singles Bill.

However, in the face of Gortat, who came over to make up for the defense, Pickled Pepper still decisively chose to divide the ball, after all, he still had Bill on his body, and it was obviously impossible to force a shot, and the ball was handed over to Lance, Lance looked up and saw that there was not much time left to attack, and he immediately made a hasty shot.

The shot in the panic was obviously very low, after the Polish hammer Gortat grabbed the rebound, he quickly handed the ball to Wall, who was ready to break fast, after Wall received the ball, he immediately started, and rushed to the front court at a wind-like speed, although Ye Xuan tried his best to keep up, but he could only barely keep up with the footsteps, and could not catch up with him, Wall came to the Pacers' three-point line in a blink of an eye, facing the only defender in front of him, Pickled Pepper, Wall did not slow down at all, but directly turned around and threw the ball into after passing Pickled Pepper.

After seeing the opponent use a dragon to score the ball with a full-court rush, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh, Wall's fast attack was really sharp, it seemed that he had to suppress the rhythm and not let the opponent get this opportunity to rush up.

While thinking, Ye Xuan slowly brought the ball to the front court, while signaling his teammates to suppress the rhythm and play. Then, he didn't force a breakthrough through Wall, but chose to call West to help block and dismantle, after blocking and dismantling, Ye Xuan used the gap to break through inward and then threw a shot, and finally scored the first goal of the Pacers game.

Turning around, Wall hoisted the ball to the Polish hammers in the inside position, after Gortat took the ball, hit Hibbert with his back, leaned on it twice, and suddenly turned around one after another, directly shaking Hibbert, and then Gortat hit Hibbert directly, causing Hibbert to foul. Hit both free throws.

After Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the halfcourt, he wanted to let Hibbert return the opponent, so he hoisted the ball into the inside line and handed it to Hibbert, but Hibbert didn't seem to be in a state today, after receiving the ball, he hit his back twice and was not able to push the opponent, and then directly turned around and hooked his hand, but after the basketball rubbed the rebound, he fell directly from the other side, and he threw a bridge, and he didn't even touch the basket.

After grabbing the rebound on the opposite side, he quickly handed the ball to Wall, but fortunately, Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper retreated in time, so they did not let the opponent find a chance to break fast, but after Wall and Nei Lei made a block, they took the opportunity to enter the inside, and then faced Hibbert and went to the basket directly, but Hibbert just stretched out his hand and didn't even jump, directly allowing the opponent to easily score two points.
