Chapter 432: Overall Runner-up
Ye Xuan was finally pushed into the operating room, and the operation of cruciate ligament rupture was already very mature, after all, this injury was relatively common, and the process of surgery was naturally very smooth, and soon after being pushed back to the ward, Ye Xuan woke up. Although his teammates are still playing in Golden State, they still have flowers from Larry Bird next to him.
In fact, Ye Xuan's injury was not only caused by the last physical contact with George Hill and then falling, but also because Ye Xuan had played for too long this season, and after having the physical recovery potion, Ye Xuan's playing time skyrocketed, which made Ye Xuan a little inflated and squandered his physical strength.
But he didn't expect that while he was squandering his physical strength, he was also wearing out his body, in the end, this body was still only able to accept about 35 minutes of playing time in a game, but Ye Xuan added a clock to every game, just like drinking to quench his thirst, although it was cool at the time, but what was left was a body that was constantly worn out, and the fall after the last body contact was just the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the accumulation before that was the culprit of Ye Xuan's injury.
However, it was useless to say this, Ye Xuan could only quietly watch his teammates fight on the field from the TV in his intensive care ward. After the regrettable 3-point loss in the first game, the Pacers were a little poor in the second game, losing to the opponent by 13 points in the first half, not only did they not be able to recover the difference in the second half, but they also dug a hole again, losing another 9 points in the third quarter, which directly expanded the difference to 22 points, and the Pacers had no intention of fighting in the last quarter, and finally swallowed two consecutive losses in Golden State, which was also the first time since last season that the Pacers lost two games in a row in the playoffs.
After the end of the two games away, the Pacers finally returned to Indiana, and after the training was finished the next day, Pickled Pepper and others also came to the hospital to visit Ye Xuan, the atmosphere was not bad, and Pickled Pepper deliberately turned back and chatted with Ye Xuan after everyone left, in order to let Ye Xuan cheer up, both of them are still young now, and the future of the league is in their hands, even if they are not able to defend the title successfully this season, after Ye Xuan recovers next season, The two of them can still lead the Pacers to snatch the championship trophy back, and then use their broken leg to enlighten Ye Xuan. In fact, Ye Xuan is still quite optimistic now, after all, he is a carrier of the system, and when the time comes, he will recover after accumulating enough points?
Game 3 was played quickly at Conseco Arena, and unlike the previous two games, the Pacers got off to a smooth start and didn't dig holes at the beginning of the first two games, with the Pacers even leading by five points at the end of the first quarter. With the support of the home audience, the Pacers in the second quarter of the game are also more and more courageous, especially Pickled Pepper, a person in the opponent's crowd is also a seven-in, seven-out, the end of the first half, the Pacers led the opponent by as many as 13 points, Pickled Pepper got 27 points plus 4 rebounds and 6 assists in the first half, the data is very perverted.
However, in the second half, the Warriors also began to exert their strength, first the Splash Brothers teamed up to create trouble for the Pacers outside the three-point line, making the Pacers exhausted, and then the Pacers' own interior line was messed up again, and Hibbert, who was involved by Spetts and others, received 3 fouls in a single quarter of the game and was forced to be replaced, and the Warriors also took the opportunity to chase the difference back, and returned the Pacers a 34:26 in a single quarter, narrowing the difference to 5 points.
Fortunately, the Pacers stubbornly held up the situation in the fourth quarter of the game, and the Pickled Peppers once again scored 17 points in a single quarter, directly beating the defending Iguodala to him, although Curry hit two three-pointers in a row at the last moment, but in the perverted state of the Pickled Peppers, they still failed to recover the decline, and the Pacers also won a difficult victory on their home court.
The situation in the fourth game was the same as the previous game, the Pacers played better this time than the previous game, not only leading the opponent by 12 points at the end of the first half, but also strengthening the defense in the third quarter of the game, not allowing the Warriors to play a decent counterattack, and at the same time, the performance of the pickled pepper was also excellent, and the performance was even better than when Ye Xuan led the team in the regular season.
2:2, the Pacers struggled to pull the big score into a 2:2 draw, when people kept cheering for the Pacers, and kept singing praises for giving away 40+ quasi-triple-double pickled peppers in two consecutive games, Ye Xuan was gradually forgotten. Even some unscrupulous media have put forward the claim that the Leafless Pacers are stronger, on the grounds that Ye Xuan has been holding the ball in order to brush the data, which has caused the Pacers' rotation to be relatively slow or something, although people who understand the ball will scoff when they see it, but there are still a bunch of fake fans who believe it is true.
The key battle of Tianwang Mountain, the game venue returned to the Oracle Arena, the performance of the two teams at home and away can only be described as similar, both are the appearance of the home dragon and away worm, this game is no exception, the two teams experienced the first quarter of the game against each other, the Warriors began to exert force in the second quarter of the game, won the Pacers by 9 points in a single quarter, and won another 8 points in the third quarter of the game, directly killing the game, and the Pacers also tried to launch a counterattack in the last quarter of the game but were slapped back by the Warriors who were in good momentum.
After losing the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Pacers were also a little injured, and they still couldn't adjust their performance in the last game, and finally lost the sixth game 4:2, allowing the opponent to lift the O'Brien Cup on their home court.
Although they lost the Finals, Pacers fans are still looking forward to next season, because this season they can be said to have been experiencing injuries from beginning to end, Pickled Pepper missed almost 70 games in the regular season, and when it came to the key finals, Ye Xuan, who led the team to the top four in the East, was injured, so they only have two words for this season, that is, injuries, but they have not lost hope, their two cores are now 25 years old and 21 years old, They haven't reached their prime age yet, so they will still be regular guests in the finals for the next few seasons.
