It seems that the Eastern upstart is not ready to show his true strength in the preseason, not only James did not appear in the player list, but even George Hill, who had just been traded, did not appear in the player list, and after Coach Frank got this opponent's list, he waved his hand decisively and gave Ye Xuan a vacation.

After arriving at the Sindath Center in Cincinnati, Ye Xuan appeared on the side of the court wearing a suit. And sitting next to Ye Xuan, it is James and George Hill, the main players of the two teams who did not play are obviously not tense in the preseason, as Ye Xuan's former teammate, George Hill played a good role in relieving between Ye Xuan and James, which made James, who was originally angry about being eliminated by Ye Xuan, also look away.

After the absence of Ye Xuan, the Pacers used Rodney Starkey as the starting point guard, but apparently he was very weak against Irving, and Irving's breakthrough was able to pass Starkey almost every time, which made the other members of the Pacers have to help him make up for the defense.

In addition, in addition to the point guard position, the Pacers are at a disadvantage, and the opponent's newly introduced power forward, Kevin Love, also played very bravely in the face of West, which led to the Pacers being directly blown up by the opponent when the two cores of Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper were not on the court.

At the end of the game, the Pacers didn't have anyone to organize the offense, and Starkey's organization was a little weak in the face of the opponent's main lineup, so the Pacers only scored 21 points in a single quarter, although it seemed acceptable, but compared to the opponent's 32 points, it was a bit insufficient.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pacers' bench was indeed very powerful, - Smith and C.J. Watson, two masters of chaos, relied on their ability to muddy the water to beat the opponent to the point of exhaustion, I have to say that the Cavaliers in the absence of James and George Hill, the bench lineup is simply vulnerable. So in the bench contest between the two sides, the Pacers are superior.

Unfortunately, in the end, because the Pacers lacked an absolutely reliable offensive point, and this was supposed to be a preseason game, after three quarters of the game, the Pacers replaced all the main players and announced that they had abandoned the game. Although the three-game winning streak in the preseason was ended, for the Pacers, they gained more.

-Smith's point,-Smith,But suddenly became the key man on the Pacers' bench,And he did well in Indiana,So he didn't have any conflicts with anyone on the team," which also made the outside world generally feel that the Pacers picked up a bargain.

The game against the Cavaliers ended quickly, and in the end the Pacers lost to the opponent 89:101, although the opponent's main point guard and main power forward both scored 25+ high points, but the Pacers were not ashamed, Solomon Hill scored 21 points in Ye Xuan's absence, the highest score in the Pacers, and Smith also played very well, scoring 18 points.

After two expeditions, the Pacers are back at their familiar Consecco arena against a familiar face, the Dallas Mavericks. In this game, Coach Frank still didn't let Ye Xuan play, because he knew that the Pacers would need Ye Xuan's combat power to maintain their ranking during the regular season. At that time, it will be very physically demanding.

The game went on as usual, but this game was very different from the last time the two teams met, Monta Ellis suddenly changed to a different person after not being contained by Ye Xuan, and instantly scored 11 points from 4 of 14 shots in the last game against Ye Xuan, and suddenly became 9 points in 4 of 5 shots in the opening of this game.

Because of Ellis's excellent play, he also liberated Chandler Parsons, who was targeted by Solomon Hill, in disguise, and Nowitzki himself was in an advantageous position, so the Mavericks also turned into a serf in this game. By the end of the first two quarters, the Mavericks had an 11-point lead.

In the second half, the Pacers still couldn't find any good way to deal with the opponent's main vote, so the pace of the game was still under the control of the opponent. Just 7 or 8 minutes into the third quarter, when Coach Frank was about to replace all the main players, something suddenly happened on the court that everyone did not want to see.

During a scramble for a rebound, West accidentally sprained his ankle when he landed, and he immediately fell to the ground, and then the team doctor carried him down on a stretcher. At this time, the Pacers obviously had no intention of fighting, and sent a substitute to play casually, and ended the game hastily.

Ye Xuan, on the other hand, followed the team doctor and directly accompanied West to the hospital for further examination. Fortunately, West's ankle sprain did not produce symptoms such as fractures and bone cracks, but because this was a more serious sprain, the team medical guard estimated that West would have to rest for about a month. That said, West is likely to miss the Pacers for the first ten regular-season games in the new season.

This is undoubtedly worse for the Pacers. The Pacers, who had become very difficult because of the injury of Pickle Pepper, are now unable to play, as the Pacers' third scoring point, West's injury made the Pacers' lineup suddenly look a little stretched.

And in an instant, all the offensive pressure of the Pacers was pressed on Ye Xuan's shoulders, originally when West was there, Ye Xuan could also use the cooperation with West to diversify the offense, but without West, whether it was Hibbert or Solomon Hill, or Shambaugh, their offensive ability with the ball was very weak, and they could only rely on Ye Xuan to help them create offensive opportunities, and they could only play. Suddenly, the outside world is even more pessimistic about the new season of the Pacers. Everyone is saying that the Pacers may not even be able to make the Eastern Conference playoffs this season, and even if they make the Eastern Conference playoffs, they may meet the terrible Cavaliers in the first round.
