Chapter 152: The Beginning of Might (I)
On the Pacers' side, because Ye Xuan was replaced, Leonard reappeared in front of Pickle Pepper, so the Pacers' offense was somewhat hindered, but fortunately, George Hill, who had just been replaced on the court, felt good, and did not choose to hand the ball to Pickled Pepper or the inside line after coming up, but after controlling the ball and coming to the frontcourt, taking advantage of the opponent's inattention, he directly chose to shoot a cold arrow outside the three-point line, a three-point shot.
The old man off the court was also speechless for a while, "I think about how simple and obedient George Hill was back then, he never failed to seriously implement the tactics he arranged, how could he have thought that in the Pacers, he learned from Ye Xuan's stinky boy badly, learned to throw three points blindly, and most importantly, he still scored." Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but glance at Ye Xuan who was sitting in the audience with the corner of his eyes.
Ye Xuan felt the malicious gaze on the side, and looked up to see that it was Zhuge Wei looking at him, Ye Xuan was suddenly afraid, and quickly made an expression of paralysis, pretending not to see it, and read in his heart, "Don't calculate me, old man, I've been defended by Leonard badly enough, don't want to send some marginal people to make a trick just because your situation is backward, I still want to play for a few more years." ”
Not to mention what Ye Xuan and the old man were thinking about after making eye contact, but the offense of both teams had some problems at the same time, the Spurs' offense lacked the strength of the inside line, and several people on the outside wanted to break through, but today's Pacers' defense was relatively tight, so for a while, the Spurs could only try to shoot long to force the opponent to defend themselves. But their outside touch was not particularly good, and after a few rounds, they shot 1-of-4 from three-point range and only scored three points.
The problem on the Pacers' side is that there is no excellent assault point to tear apart the opponent's defense, after Ye Xuan was replaced, Pickled Pepper was targeted by Leonard again, and suddenly lost a lot of room to play, and Hill did not perform particularly well in front of Parker, probably because he was a rookie selected by the Spurs, so the technical characteristics were completely familiar to Parker, so Hill failed to play his due strength when facing Parker.
In addition, the inside line of the Pacers has to be said again, after entering the playoffs, Hibbert's performance is good and bad, when he plays well, he can cut down 25 + 15 monster data, but it is not uncommon to send a few zero eggs when the performance is not good, although Hibbert did a good job on the defensive end of this game, but he was soft on the offensive end, and he failed to score points on the inside in the face of Split's defense, 3 shots and 0 hits, wasted a lot of shooting opportunities, fortunately, Lance shot a three-pointer, The scores of the two teams have not been overtaken by the Spurs.
The first quarter of the game ended hastily, although the two sides relied on the positional offense in the first half of the game and gained a good shooting rate, but with Duncan and Ye Xuan being replaced, the offense on both sides was a little deadlocked, so at the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams had just reached 25:27, and the Pacers were still two points ahead.
During the intermission, Coach Frank told Ye Xuan that the next few minutes were crucial to the whole game, and Ye Xuan would play the most special role in these minutes, he told Ye Xuan that the opponent's blocking defenders would definitely take a break in the next few minutes, and the main players on the Pacers' side also needed a period of rest after fighting with the opponent's main lineup, so Ye Xuan must seize the opportunity to pull the difference apart as much as possible in these minutes. It would be better if he could use Duncan's stamina even more.
Ye Xuan heard Coach Frank's instructions and gave him a thumbs up, saying that this matter will be left to me. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers decisively sent a number of benches, except for George Hill, who continued to play, and the other four were all replaced and rested.
Leonard was replaced with Danny Green, who did not perform well in the first half of the first quarter, and then replaced Split with Duncan and Parker with Mills.
After getting on the court, the Spurs took the lead in attacking, and Mills, who received the serve in the backcourt, quickly controlled the ball to the front court, and handed the request to Ginobili, after the bald man took the ball, he made a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Dio, and then broke through the ball and passed it back to Dio, who was waiting in the high position, but unfortunately Dio's hand was still not good, and the shot outside the three-point line hit the iron again.
Masin Mi pressed Duncan to grab the backcourt rebound, and quickly handed the ball to George Hill, Hill also knew that these few minutes of time were precious, and after quickly advancing to the frontcourt, he handed over the basketball to Ye Xuan. After Ye Xuan received the ball, he did a few crotch dribbles in a row, and then directly started to break through to the left side of Mills, Mills didn't notice for a while, and was directly cleaned by Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan didn't expect the opponent to be passed by himself so easily, so he paused after passing the opponent, and then continued to break through, and it was this pause that gave Mills time to react, he quickly chased back and prepared to give Ye Xuan a big hat from behind, but Ye Xuan had already noticed his movements, and after another emergency stop, he pretended to make a move and directly shook Mills away, Ye Xuan lightly hit Mills who flew by, and then threw the ball out casually.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and after Ye Xuan threw the ball out of his hand smashed into the rebound, it turned around the hoop several times before it fell into the basket unwillingly, 2+1!! The audience at the scene suddenly burst into cheers, and after Ye Xuan stepped onto the free throw line, he raised his hand easily and shot the additional penalty, and the difference between the two teams was also stretched to 5 points.
However, the offensive rhythm of the Spurs side still did not speed up, although Mills was deceived by Ye Xuan for a 2+1, but he still brought the ball to the front court expressionlessly, and then handed it to Ginobili, which made Ye Xuan can't help but despise the opponent.
After the bald man received the pass, he was very relaxed and freehand, and after making two fake moves in front of Hill, he broke through a few steps directly, and then made a quick stop jump shot to throw the ball, but unfortunately the bald man's hand was not good, and the ball could not be scored.
