Chapter 342: Hammer Explosion Warrior Inside

The referee immediately rushed over to give Bogut a foul, although Ye Xuan was dragged down from the sky, but because his vacancy height was not particularly high, he was not injured or anything, shrugged calmly, and then walked to the free throw line to make free throws. After hitting both free throws, Ye Xuan slowly retreated to his half, in fact, it is not a bad thing to let the opponent carry a foul on the inside line in the first attack at the beginning, so that Hibbert's pressure on the opponent's interior line will be much less.

The Warriors attacked, they were still preparing to let Curry play the first ball according to their usual style of play, but they forgot that their opponent was Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan was not simply powerful on the offensive end, and the oppression he caused to his opponent in the counterpoint was also one of the few in the league, so as soon as Curry passed half court, Ye Xuan's defense forced over, but fortunately, Curry was clever, so he did not let Ye Xuan give the card owner position, otherwise Curry's small body is estimated to be knocked back to the court in two clicks.

However, this also reminded the Warriors that they couldn't rely on Curry in today's game, so their organizational core immediately turned into Draymond Green, Green took the pass and directly chose to hit West with his back, although West was knocked back by Green, but he did not lose his defensive position, plus the interference of Solomon Hill next to him, Green did not dare to play easily, so he quickly distributed the ball to Barnes on the outside, and Barnes did not continue to play iron like last time in this game, the three-point shot goes directly into the hollow net.

Looking back, Ye Xuan immediately began to attack the Warriors' interior again, and he was ready to directly take advantage of the opportunity before the opponent reacted to make a few more fouls on Bogut and Green, so that his team could occupy an absolute advantage on the inside. After using footsteps and feints to get past Thompson who defended himself again, Ye Xuan was still the same old routine, facing Bogut again, this time Ye Xuan did not use any self-throwing tricks, but faced Bogut's defense with a false shake, and then hit the opponent, causing Bogut's foul again, less than a minute into the opening game, Bogut was back two fouls, and the most embarrassing thing was his substitute David Lee, who is still recovering from injury, so the only people available to the Warriors on the inside are Azeri and Speights, Cole's side also immediately took advantage of Ye Xuan's free throws. Swap Speights for him.

Now without Bogut, who can fight Hibbert hand-to-hand, the Pacers' interior line is considered to be no pressure, and because Speights's height is too short for Hibbert, now not only Ye Xuan and they need to wrap up, but even Hibbert on the inside, they also need to go to the pack. With Ye Xuan's two consecutive fouls in the first minute of the game, the Pacers successfully occupied the top, and relied on this advantage to control the rhythm of the game in their own hands, the first quarter of the game was played until the TV paused, the Pacers had achieved a 5-point lead, in which Hibbert contributed 8 points, Ye Xuan in addition to 4 free throws, only shot two three-pointers, hit one of them, scored 7 points, the Pacers scored a total of 19 points, these two basically took over.

Without the support of interior players, the Warriors' rotation began to become difficult, and they could have relied on Curry and Thompson to open the situation, but now Curry is watched by Ye Xuan, so the offensive end of the Warriors with one leg is not particularly smooth, but fortunately, the shooting rates of Thompson and Barnes are not bad, which did not allow the Pacers to completely pull the score away.

At the end of the timeout, the Pacers did not make any personnel changes, while the Warriors directly replaced Speights, who played 5 minutes on the court and basically did not contribute any other statistics except for one foul. Such a lineup is basically the Warriors' most familiar Death Five lineup, and the person who defends Ye Xuan has also changed from Thompson to Iguodala.

The Warriors' substitution did have a certain effect, although there was still no means to contain Hibbert, but they played to their strengths and avoided weaknesses, and directly relied on the flexibility of the lineup to rotate positions, although it was still a little difficult to defend, but at least on the offensive end it would not be contained by the Pacers, the first quarter of the game went on for about 4 minutes, and the Pacers' 5-point lead was narrowed to 2 points, but it was almost time for the substitution, The Warriors were the first to make a change, swapping Curry, Thompson and Barnes for Livingston, Barbossa and Azeri.

The Pacers also made substitutions, replacing all four other players except Solomon Hill, and replacing them with an improved bench lineup, which gave up the plan to rely on Starkey to organize the offense in the second team, and instead used C.J. Watson to conduct random battles, as one of the capable players of the mad scientist Nelson Sr., C.J. Watson is naturally familiar with this rhythm.

The two teams played off the bench on the court, the only difference was that the Warriors continued to put Draymond Green on the court, and Green's range also had some impact on Masimmi, but because the Pacers also played a fast-paced offense, they basically didn't think much about things on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, the firepower on the Pacers' side was more powerful, mainly because Azerina Scola had nothing to do, And Iguodala, the core of the Warriors' second team, didn't take advantage of Solomon Hill's presence.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams came to 33:30, and the Pacers barely led the opponent by three points into the second quarter. The Pacers also asked Ye Xuan to deal with Curry like this, in order to completely suppress Curry's point, without Curry's thigh, the Warriors' offensive frenzy will not be so powerful, otherwise they will play a small high court of 10:0 and 11:0 in a few rounds at every turn, which no one can stand it.
