Chapter 37 The beginning of the decline

The break ended quickly, and at the start of the second half, Conley took possession of the ball and went to the front court to make a simple block with Randolph, who shot a long two-pointer. Ye Xuan controlled the ball and advanced, after arriving at the front court, Ye Xuan directly beckoned Hibbert to come up and do the blocking, Hibbert came up to block it and took it down, Ye Xuan used the blocking and dismantling to move the ball up in one fell swoop, Tony Allen and Gasol Jr.'s attention was immediately attracted, and suddenly Ye Xuan put the ball down, followed by a beautiful hit, and the ball passed through Gasol Jr.'s crotch and was directly sent to Hibbert.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, this pass was so beautiful! Hibbert actually didn't expect the ball to be passed, almost didn't catch it, but fortunately the ball was passed very accurately, Hibbert subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the ball in his hand, Tony Allen and Gasol Jr. looked back at Hibbert fiercely, Hibbert also realized that he was empty, holding the basketball and taking two steps into the basket with both hands to smash the basket.

The Grizzlies attacked, Conley's breakthrough was delayed by Ye Xuan, and in desperation, he could only hand the ball to Tony Allen on the outside, Allen made a three-point shot against Hill, but he was interfered with, the shooting posture was a little out of shape, and the basketball jumped out of the basket. Hibbert grabbed the ball and handed it to Hill, Hill dribbled to the front court and made a collision with Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, who received the ball, pulled it up and shot, but unfortunately the shot was also off.

This is not good news, because the Pacers' offense is all supported by Ye Xuan's high shooting rate, and once Ye Xuan is inaccurate, the score will be pulled away immediately. After Randolph grabbed the rebound, the Grizzlies chose to press the rhythm, Conley slowly came to the frontcourt, beckoned Gasol Jr. to come over to block and dismantle, pretending to make a breakthrough, Ye Xuan hurriedly took two steps back and prepared to follow, but Conley chose to shoot directly outside the three-point line. The three-pointer was very sudden, but his shooting posture was very standard, and the basketball drew a perfect arc in the air after the basketball was taken out of his hand, and it fell straight to the basket. A beautiful three-pointer instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, and the plastic sticks in the audience were brandished more vigorously.

Ye Xuan saw the ball that was hollow into the net, and he also felt powerless in his heart. The game continued, Hill controlled the ball and came to the front court to find Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan and Scola did not break through after making a block, but took a step back to the three-point line, hit a three-point shot, and finally stabilized the situation, 54:56. The score is still deadlocked, but everyone can see that as long as the Pacers replace Ye Xuan, the score will be quickly pulled away.

The Grizzlies began to attack, Conley looked at Ye Xuan with the ball, and then rushed to the inside again with the help of the block. Ye Xuan also saw that the Grizzlies just wanted Conley to consume Ye Xuan's physical strength on the offensive end, because they analyzed the data of the previous games and came to the conclusion that Ye Xuan's physical fitness was not enough to support him to play more than 30 minutes of high-intensity games, so the Pacers concluded that he was put on the bench.

It's a pity that if it was before this game, their analysis was still very reasonable, but no matter how they thought about it, it was impossible to think that Ye Xuan had a system in his body, and just yesterday, Ye Xuan drew Ron Artest's physical talent, which was a pervert who played 37 minutes in regular time, and then could run as fast as he did at the beginning of the game after two overtimes.

After Conley's single was missed, Ye Xuan, who was about to go down, received a long pass after Scola grabbed the rebound, and made a layup, 56 draws. The Grizzlies coach felt that something was wrong, and immediately called a timeout to change their tactics, "Boys, I think our analysis is wrong, Ye Xuan's physical fitness is not as bad as we thought, but basketball is five people, now we go to the inside to attack and beat their inside gate Hibbert, and the result is the same." Come on! The players should also go to "Come on!" ”

After the timeout, the Grizzlies began to continue to attack the interior with the 'black and white' as the core, although Hibbert was not caused too many fouls, but the defensive pressure increased sharply, which also made his physical strength decline quickly. As the game progressed, although the score was not pulled away, the situation began to turn against the Pacers.

When the third quarter reached 8 minutes, the tired Pacers were finally replaced, except for Ye Xuan, the other four people were all rested, and Ye Xuan took a water dispenser caretaker to drag time on the court. But the Grizzlies obviously won't give the Pacers such a chance, taking advantage of the lack of strength of the other players on the court, the Grizzlies instantly organized a wave of attacks, avoiding Ye Xuan's strong point, and constantly impacting other points. Although Ye Xuan was also trying his best to control the situation, the score was still stretched to 71:80.

On the commentary bench on the sidelines, Jeff Van Gundy began to sing the Pacers: "We all know that the Pacers are a strong contender for this year's championship, but obviously, it is already very difficult for the Pacers to win today, Ye Xuan is very good, but it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and the Grizzlies also hope to contribute to their playoff spots with this victory, they will not let the Pacers find opportunities easily." ”

Mark Jackson on the side didn't care about the game, but began to sing praises for Ye Xuan, "In fact, the outcome of this game is not important at all, the important thing is that Ye Xuan showed his full strength to all the teams in the league, I don't know if he can still support the fourth quarter, but he only rested for 4 minutes in the first three quarters, and he scored 37 points and 8 assists crazily, and two-thirds of the team's goals are directly related to him." In the past, with Paul George in front, we couldn't see Ye Xuan's shining points, and today, I can only tell you that this guy is a superstar who is not weaker than Paul George, and he alone led a team lacking major generals to play against the Grizzlies, showing his leadership temperament. Now there is a very terrifying thing in front of other teams in the league, that is, the Pacers not only can have such terrifying strength this year, but Ye Xuan's contract will still be the base salary next year, and the Pacers will not only maintain the current lineup, but they even have room to sign two veterans who came to hug their thighs. ”

Van Gundy also picked up the conversation: "Yes, this year's Pacers are already strong contenders for the championship, if this summer, they can ensure the integrity of their team, and sign a few strong veterans, next year's championship, I don't think there is any suspense." After praising the Pacers, Van Gundy changed his words again, "But that's all for later, judging from the current game, the Grizzlies are likely to end the Pacers' 8-game winning streak, and it is also the Pacers' bad luck that the three main players were put laxatives in food." ”
