Chapter 420: Overturning Again

But in this case, it is impossible for the Pacers to replace Ye Xuan anymore, and the game is about to end in the third quarter, so the Pacers did not make any personnel changes, but the Cavaliers replaced Hill to pave the way for the later rotation.

After Hill was replaced, the Cavaliers replaced Mike Miller to increase their outside threat, Ye Xuan also felt a lot less pressure after Hill went off, and he was finally able to relax on the defensive end, at least he would not be afraid that Hill would give him a surprise attack and let himself be saddled with a fifth foul. But then Mike Miller suddenly became intimidating.

I don't know if it's because he returned to the familiar field, or because he ate the expired V brother, Mike Miller was as accurate as if he had turned on automatic aiming, and not only he was accurate, but even James and others began to get accurate, just like the Cavaliers as a whole suddenly got a shooting buff bonus, not only James hit an unreasonable three-point shot outside the three-point line, but even Dellavedova and Vallejo also hit this kind of shot that the defender has sealed his hand on his face.

Although the offensive efficiency of the Pacers is also good, it has not reached the point of such casual shooting, so in the last few minutes of the third quarter, the Cavaliers have relied on their hot hand to score 13 points, while the Pacers only scored 9 points. Fortunately, the third quarter was finally over, and the Pacers had a little respite.

During the break, the other players of the Pacers team were tired enough, and only Ye Xuan's physical strength was relatively abundant, so Coach Frank directly arranged for Ye Xuan to continue to play in the fourth quarter of the game, in order to recover the point difference, this is also the second time that the Pacers have fallen behind their opponents in this round of playoffs into the final quarter, last time, they lost the game, but this time, they don't want to lose the game again.

The game restarted in the fourth quarter, and as soon as Ye Xuan came on the court, he used the opponent's defensive gap to hit an ultra-long-distance three-point shot that was more than one step away from the three-point line, narrowing the difference to 4 points. Then he poked George Hill's ball off the defensive end, but unfortunately the basketball finally rolled out of bounds, so the ball still belonged to the Cavaliers, but Ye Xuan also successfully consumed the opponent's offensive time, leaving the Cavaliers with less than 6 seconds left for this offense.

The Cavaliers cashed in and sent the ball out, and Hill took advantage of a block to shoot directly into a three-point shot after receiving the ball, and I don't know if the Cavaliers really hung up today, and the basketball was safely put into the basket. Ye Xuan's side was still trying his best to chase the score, the Pacers backcourt served to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan did not hesitate, slowly moved forward with the ball, and after half the court, he found that George Hill, who was responsible for defending himself, was still at the three-point line, Ye Xuan immediately hurried two steps, took the ball to two steps outside the three-point line, and directly pulled out the three-point shot and threw the ball in.

Two consecutive ultra-long-distance three-pointers, but also let the Pacers see some hope of catching up with the score, but immediately they were poured a basin of cold water by the opponent, as one of the Pacers' champions, George Hill's desire to win is obviously very strong, in the face of Ye Xuan's defense, Hill decisively called the block, and then used James Jones's block to get rid of Ye Xuan's defense, - Smith hit a long-distance shot in front of him again.

In fact, a big reason for trading Hill is Ye Xuan's growth, so it is impossible for Hill to have no trace of resentment, but fortunately, the Pacers traded him to the Cavaliers, who are also very strong, so this did not make Hill complain publicly in the media, but now that there is an opportunity to fight back, Hill will naturally not let go. Besides, isn't it right to be the master of your own team and win for your own team?

Ye Xuan's side is obviously a little up, after coming to the front court, he handed the ball to Scola who was covering in the high position, and then used Scola as a shaft to directly get rid of George Hill, and then ran to the inside, Scola's pass was also very timely, Ye Xuan jumped high after receiving the pass, and wanted to respond to the opponent with a dunk, but he forgot that one of the generals in the opponent's team was on the court, and it was Vallejo, and it was an attack in this position, Ye Xuan was not able to brake the car this time, Vallejo had superb acting skills, As soon as he flew, he was several meters away, and flew directly to the basketball hoop, and the whistle that had just been shot sounded again, and Ye Xuan fouled for the fifth time.

Ye Xuan still wanted to argue, but the referee didn't give Ye Xuan this opportunity, in fact, this time the referee also learned smartly, they all blew this kind of ball that can be judged or not, and did not let people seize the handle like last year. Now the Pacers are in trouble, Ye Xuan only has one last foul left to be sent off, but his team is now not only 6 points behind, but also lost the ball, the current situation is very unfavorable for the Pacers, so Coach Frank has no choice but to replace his main forces in advance.

The Cavaliers did not show weakness, and immediately replaced James and others, preparing for the final battle in advance. The next rhythm returned to the same as in the third quarter, Ye Xuan's defense became a little cringe, and the Cavaliers attacked Ye Xuan this point in order to be able to beat Ye Xuan, and in an instant, Ye Xuan felt the pressure doubled.

This time, Ye Xuan was not able to hold on to the third quarter until there were only 4 minutes left in this quarter, and he was not even able to hold on for 4 minutes before he received another foul, and the Pacers big man Ye Xuan left the court with 6 fouls, and the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the Cavaliers. After the absence of Ye Xuan, the Pacers also knew that this game was more than lucky, but they did not give up and still fought with the Cavaliers on the court, but unfortunately the Cavaliers with a master of control of the court like James did not give the Pacers any chance, and the Cavaliers, who had a 7-point lead, slowed down their rhythm.

On the one hand, because the Pacers' own physical strength was a little insufficient, on the other hand, it is also because the Cavaliers now have an advantage over the Pacers on both the offensive and defensive ends, so the Cavaliers are not in a hurry at all, and in the end, although the Pacers played a wave of 7:2 chasing points in the subsequent moments, but the time was no longer enough, and finally in James's two free throws and one hit, the Pacers lost to the Cavaliers by 4 points at 107:103 on the road.
