At the end of the game, the Pacers lost the game 119-125 at the American Airlines Center, although Ye Xuan scored 36 points in the first half, and although he scored 51 points and 5 assists in the whole game, the Pacers still lost the game.

Up and down the Pacers, in addition to Ye Xuan's 51 points, Pickled Pepper also scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, while Hibbert also had 17 points and 9 boards. But with the Heat's 19 free throws in the final quarter, it all got pointless.

The Heat relied on an extraordinary shooting percentage in the first half to set a number of playoff records, including 44 points in the first quarter, 78 points in the half, and even 10 three-pointers in a single quarter for the whole team, all of which are new records in the league, but compared to the first half of a total of only 5 free throws, the Heat scored a total of 29 free throws in the second half, including 10 in the third quarter and 19 in the fourth quarter, which also turned this originally wonderful confrontation into free throw practice.

After a group of people returned to the locker room without cheering, Ye Xuan directly locked the door of the locker room, then clapped his hands twice to signal his teammates to look over, and then began to say after Coach Frank nodded in affirmation, "In today's game, we all know why we lost." He paused as he spoke.

"We're all saying that this is a business league, yes, the business league is all about money as the first goal, that's why the league is doing what it is today, they are afraid that we will continue to win, and they are afraid that we will make the Eastern Conference Finals, where every game tickets, advertising, and sponsorships are worth thousands of dollars, lose the suspense too early."

Saying that, Ye Xuan glanced at Coach Frank again, and then said, "But I hope you don't talk about the unfairness of the referee or the operation of the secret box in any interview after the game, I don't want the next game to be banned for attacking and questioning the referee because of some off-field topics." ”

Coach Frank next to him answered, "Ye is right, the loss of this game is not a crime of war, it is because of the league's so-called 'business reasons', so we have to lose." But we're still leading by a big score, so I want you to calm down and get ready for the next game. ”

At this time, Hibbert couldn't help it and asked, "Then this time we endured, what if the referee still plays tricks like this in the next game?" Can we just watch as our victories are stolen by others? If that's the case, then the trophies will be distributed directly according to the preferences of those sluts, what kind of game will they play? ”

Coach Frank thought for a moment and said, "This game is over, although you can't express your dissatisfaction with this referee, but the team will appeal upwards, and the team will definitely mobilize other forces to create public opinion, so we will definitely get a fair play stage in the next game." ”

While listening to Ye Xuan, he was also thinking about how to use his identity as a Chinese to disgust those high-level members of the alliance in this matter.

After communicating with the players and arranging it, Coach Frank took Ye Xuan, who scored 51 points today, to the press conference. However, in the rest area of the press conference, Coach Frank was still relieved to remind Ye Xuan again not to be provoked by reporters to speak ill of the referee.

Entering the press conference, sure enough, the group of reporters were like a group of sharks that smelled blood, frantically raising their hands in the audience to ask questions. The press officer casually clicked a reporter up.

The reporter couldn't wait to stand up and asked, "Can you tell us what you think about the second half of tonight's game?" In particular, opponents scored 17 points from 19 free throws in the fourth quarter. ”

Ye Xuan knew that this person had bad intentions when he heard it, but he also saw the move: "The opponent changed his tactics in the fourth quarter, and they kept breaking into the restricted area to cause our fouls, and we didn't find a way to deal with it for a while, so we were caught off guard by the opponent." ”

"You know what I'm asking, don't you think the referee is biased in today's match?" The reporter saw that Ye Xuan pretended not to understand, so he directly asked this question clearly.

"Oh, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't care what the referee decides, can you, a person who is not qualified to referee, point fingers at the referee here? Okay, that's all I have to say about the referee, and I'll skip all the other questions about the penalty scale in this game. ”

A group of reporters saw that Ye Xuan couldn't dig up any explosive news, and in desperation, they could only think about privately asking the opinions of other members of the Pacers team to make some big news. On the one hand, there are also some other questions asked by some media who are friendly to the Pacers.

The press officer casually picked up another reporter who raised his hand, and the reporter stood up and pondered for a moment before saying, "Ye, first of all, congratulations on your 51 points in this game, the highest playoff score in the history of the Pacers, how do you feel now?" ”

Ye Xuan pouted helplessly, "To be honest, I don't want to break this record at all, what about 51 points, we still lost the game, I also got 55 points in one game during the regular season, but I also lost that game, at that time I was called the king of air chopping, and now it is another 50+ score and then lost, I can only say that I hope the team can achieve the final victory compared to the score, and I hope everyone is not right because of this defeat to say that I am a cancer that only cares about my own shots." ”

"By the way, Ye, in the second quarter of this game, you once scored 21 points in a row, which also broke the league record. How did you feel at the time? ”

"I can only say that at the beginning of the second quarter, I felt that my hand was hot, so I was relieved to shoot boldly, and as you can see, I basically shot all the shots, but unfortunately this is the playoffs, and the opponent actually sent a trap tactic to stop me from holding the ball, otherwise I feel like I have a chance to break the 33-point scoring record held by Cameron and George Gervin's predecessors."

After Ye Xuan and Coach Frank answered a few questions respectively, they left the press conference together. Back home, Ye Xuan actually held his breath in his chest. After all, he finally broke out and got a high score of 50+, but he was still dirty by these black hands behind him, and his high score came to naught.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Xuan quietly contacted Shen Wei when he returned to the hotel, and asked Shen Wei to help mobilize some Chinese media friends to have some fun with the top management of the alliance.
