Due to the lack of James, the leader and absolute strength, the Cavaliers' offense has become difficult, although Irving and Love were the bosses of their respective teams last season, but to put it mildly, these two can only be the bosses of the fish belly team, brush up the data, in fact, if they really want to lead the team to play a tough battle, the effect is estimated to be not as good as George Hill to lead the team.

Sure enough, although the Cavaliers replaced Irving and Love early, they were still at an obvious disadvantage when facing the Pacers led by Ye Xuan, and the tone of the entire second quarter game was set. Irving's singles may be able to play a good effect against other defensive players, but when facing Ye Xuan, it is a little insufficient, and Lefu has no other players to help open up the space, his own ball-holding singles ability is still relatively average, so the Pacers expanded the point advantage to 10 points in one fell swoop by virtue of the opportunity for James to make three fouls in the second quarter.

After the end of the first half, the fans at Conceco Arena were very excited, after all, the Cavaliers are now their direct rivals, as long as they win this game, the Pacers can return to the second place in the East, and the home team they support in the first half is also very reassuring to them. Because not only Ye Xuan played well as always, but even Hibbert, who had played very unstable before, had a very amazing performance in this game. After scoring 19 points and 11 boards at halftime in the previous game, Hibbert once again had 14 points and 9 boards at halftime.

Although the data is not as dazzling as in the previous game, it is also related to Ye Xuan's choice of distributing the ball, in the last game, Ye Xuan basically only passed the ball to Hibbert, and Hibbert's data is naturally very outstanding.

The second half of the game began quickly, James looked very active as soon as he got on the court, mainly because he didn't play much in the second quarter, so he was still very physically energetic, and he continued to play Solomon Hill as soon as he came up, although West and Hibbert on the inside also made up for it after James passed Solomon Hill, but James still scored 11 points crazy 3 minutes before the start of the third quarter, if it weren't for the Pacers' offense not being disturbed too much, If the Cavaliers didn't do well, they directly caught up with the score in a wave.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan still showed his dominance on the offensive end, first using the step-back jumper after blocking and dismantling to directly shoot long-distance three-pointers, and then caught the opponent off guard when he was not very focused after the opponent completed the attack. And then he completed a beautiful aerial relay with Hibbert in the attack, which caused another burst of cheers from the audience, which did not allow the Cavaliers to quickly close the score, Rao so, halfway through the third quarter, the Cavaliers still narrowed the gap between the two teams to 3 points.

The Pacers took the initiative to call a timeout and replaced the more mediocre Shambaught and West, Smith and Diamond Scola. In fact, at this time, Ye Xuan's physical strength has dropped to less than 40%, after all, he has to constantly entangle with George Hill and Dellavedova on the offensive end, and he has to curb Owen's play on the defensive end, which makes Ye Xuan's physical strength decline very quickly, but Ye Xuan took advantage of this pause and directly chose to use a large physical strength potion to restore his physical strength to nearly 70% of the level.

And at this time, due to James's various singles, his physical consumption is also very fast, so at this time, James's physical fitness has slowly dropped to a point where it is not enough to support his infinite singles, but at this time, Ye Xuan, who suddenly became energetic again, caught the Cavaliers off guard, and broke through in three consecutive rounds, directly scored 5 points and 1 assist, and reextended the Pacers' lead to 8 points.

At this time, the Cavaliers also began to panic a little, because their tactic was to consume Ye Xuan's physical energy and then start to exert their strength in the second half of the third quarter, defeating the Pacers in one fell swoop, but now it seems that Ye Xuan is not only not tired, but also more and more energetic.

But the Pacers are like this, Ye Xuan is a group of wolves when he is there, Ye Xuan becomes a bunch of huskies as soon as he gets off the court, and now Ye Xuan directly took a large physical recovery potion to support the situation, and immediately resisted the Knights' fierce offensive, not only that, but now Hibbert is also slowly playing with confidence, so the Cavaliers not only have to find a way to contain Ye Xuan, but also need to divide troops to guard against Hibbert's sudden attack, which makes the Cavaliers play very hard.

After the third quarter of the game, the Pacers firmly maintained their lead at 10 points, and the Cavaliers were still preparing to brew a wave of ultimate counterattack, because they expected that Ye Xuan would have to rest for a few minutes after playing the third quarter, but after the game started, they were a little dizzy, because Ye Xuan appeared on the court, because during the break, he decisively used up the small physical recovery potion, and directly applied for continued play like Coach Frank. Frank Vogel naturally won't say yes.

As a result, the strongest counterattack of the Cavaliers, under the interception of a group of bench bandits led by Ye Xuan, took 4 minutes to narrow the difference to 5 points, at this time the Pacers replaced Hibbert and others again, and the main force of the Cavaliers, who had been playing for a long time, was already a little bit of a strong crossbow at this time, and held on the court for about four minutes, seeing that the difference between the two teams was slowly stretched from 5 points to 9 points, and the Cavaliers were also a little desperate.

Although James still did not give up his desire to win in the last few minutes, he still fought the court, and scored 11 points in the last 4 minutes, but in the face of Ye Xuan, who still did not feel tired, and a gap of 9 points, he could only get a loss in the end.
