Chapter 172: How Strong Is Lance, Who Doesn't Make Stupid Mistakes (Plus 3rd Update)

Ye Xuan also covered his forehead in annoyance, and Coach Frank off the field was also dissatisfied with Ye Xuan's lesson, after all, Ye Xuan's habit was not the first time that he was caught by the opponent, which caused the team to lose points.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan is still relatively rational, and he still accepts Coach Frank's lesson with an open mind, otherwise if he encounters a personality like Stephenson again, he will probably have to quarrel again. The Pacers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Pickled Pepper to organize.

In the basketball principle of Pickle Pepper, it is obvious that the pass is not in the first place, so this time he still chose to play alone, in the face of Ginobili's defense, Pickle Pepper shook the opponent away with two consecutive changes of direction, and then used his speed to quickly rush into the opponent's interior, and forced a pull-up layup under Split's supplemental defense.

Split shook his head, and came to the baseline to serve, Ginobili controlled the basketball and slowly came to the Pacers' halfcourt, and then handed the ball to Leonard to deal with, after all, Leonard's performance on the offensive end in the first half was indeed very good, but now he faced Lance-Stephenson's defense, he suddenly found that his breakthrough stop-and-retreat jumper did not work, Stephenson's footsteps followed very closely, and his attention was also very concentrated, and he was not shaken off by Leonard.

After Leonard stepped back, he found that he didn't get enough space to shoot, so he didn't dare to stick to the ball, and decisively passed the ball back into the hands of the bald man, who could only wave his hand and call Split to help block and dismantle, after the block was over, the bald man suddenly changed direction and directly avoided Ye Xuan, who was ready to step forward to follow the defense, and then a European step shook off the defensive West, stuffed the ball from West's waist to the follow-up Split, and assisted the latter to dunk easily.

The Pacers came to the Spurs half again, and Pickle Pepper still wanted to play Ginobili alone, but this time he didn't find any good opportunities, because Ginobili also learned badly, and deliberately put Pickle Pepper to break through from his left hand, and then he stuck his right hand direction, and Duncan on the inside line was also eager to try, so that Pickle Pepper could only give up and continue to break inside, but Ginobili's defense is not just as simple as jamming your dominant hand, Pickled Pepper stopped his footsteps, and Ginobili immediately began to prepare to dig the ball.

After Ye Xuan received the basketball, he didn't stay for a moment, and directly passed the ball to Lance Stephenson on the side, Stephenson didn't make a shot for a long time, and once again received the basketball and made a false feint to successfully shake Danny Green in front of him, and took two steps towards the Spurs' interior line, taking advantage of the fact that Split on the inside line did not have time to rush over to make up for the defense, and shot a shot steadily.

In the next two rounds, the Spurs' offense seemed to have encountered a little problem, first Leonard's three-point shot hit the iron, and then Duncan's small hook hand on the inside single opponent failed to score for the team, on the other hand, on the Pacers' side, although Ye Xuan still did not find an opportunity to attack, but he used his pass to help West hit a mid-range shot, and then used his teammates' two consecutive screens to find an opportunity, rushed into the Spurs' interior and caused Duncan's foul.

Ye Xuan slowly walked to the free throw line, and steadily shot both free throws, at this time, the difference between the two sides was completely smoothed out, and the Spurs had to call a timeout to adjust the lineup, they chose to replace Split and replaced it with a French sports car that had just left the game, so that the Spurs only Duncan was the inside line, but the projection ability of the outside line also increased a lot.

After the timeout, the Spurs served the ball on the sideline, and Parker took over the responsibility of organizing the team's offense after coming on the court. Suddenly, Parker changed direction and was about to rush towards the Pacers' inner line, Ye Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to interfere, but the speed of the French sports car was really not covered, and he immediately pulled the ball and accelerated past Ye Xuan from the other side of Ye Xuan.

Then, when Stephenson, who was on the side, rushed to make up for the defense, he handed the ball to Leonard, who was cutting inside, and Leonard received the ball and made a decisive pull-up jump shot to score two points for the Spurs.

After that, Pickled Pepper's mid-range shot hit the iron, which once again gave the Spurs a chance to quickly counterattack, but fortunately, Lance Stephenson and Ye Xuan's return defense was relatively fast, which did not allow Parker to score directly from the backcourt, but after Ye Xuan caught up with Parker, the small sports car handed the ball to Danny Green, who followed up on the outside, and assisted his teammates to score two points again.

The Spurs' offense immediately became smoother after personnel adjustments, but they suffered a bit on the defensive end, because Parker and Ginobili were on the court at the same time, and Leonard was arranged to defend Ye Xuan, so Parker and Bald had to defend Pickles Pepper and Stephenson, who were one size bigger than themselves, and Danny Green was not at the same level to defend West.

The Pacers relied on this near-misplaced defense, choosing to have Lance single Ginobili on the offensive end or West single Danny Green in the low post. After three consecutive rounds, the Pacers once again chased the scores of the two teams back to the same running line.

And this time, the Pacers still have the ball, but the Spurs took advantage of Leonard's opportunity to rush to grab the rebound and foul to make personnel adjustments again, they chose to replace the bald man with Dio, so that the Spurs' defense finally returned to a relatively normal position.

At the end of the substitution, the Pacers served on the sideline, and after Ye Xuan received the basketball, he found that Leonard's defensive position was not particularly stuck, so he decisively wanted to use this opportunity to impact the opponent's inside, but Leonard reacted very quickly, Ye Xuan just rushed to a step outside the free throw line, and Leonard was already stuck in Ye Xuan's way.

Ye Xuan just wanted to pass the ball back to his teammates, and suddenly found that he had fallen into a trap of the opponent, Danny Green on the side quickly wrapped it over, and Leonard also used his arm to block the angle of Ye Xuan's ball, and pressed his hand on the basketball, after a stalemate for two seconds, the referee decisively blew a scrum.
