On the Cavaliers' side, Hill controlled the ball to the frontcourt and then passed the ball to James. In the face of Solomon Hill's defense, James did not hesitate at all, and directly chose to use his body to force a breakthrough. After two consecutive physical contacts, Hill was finally knocked away by James, and then James threw the ball into the basket with an easy jump-and-shoot on the spot.

After Ye Xuan received the backcourt serve, he immediately rushed to the opponent's half again, this time James took the initiative to appear in front of Ye Xuan, it seems that he also knows that the Pacers are very dependent on Ye Xuan, so he wants to lock Ye Xuan and then his team will unfortunately win easily, but unfortunately Ye Xuan's side did not do what he wanted, after all, James's defense still relies more on his body to defend, so he was not selected for the best defensive team like Kobe.

And Ye Xuan played very smart, that is, he didn't make physical contact with you, but used the constant crotch change and back dribbling to tease James, and then used a fancy emergency stop to shake James away, James is also physically strong, forcibly stabilizing his body, so he was not shaken to the ground by Ye Xuan, but it was obviously impossible to prevent Ye Xuan after being shaken away, so he could only watch Ye Xuan shake him off and then step back to the three-point line, and then hit the three-point shot.

In the next few rounds, James also found that his defense was indeed a little weak, and he was still a little difficult to defend against a technical defender like Ye Xuan, so James simply gave up his defense against Ye Xuan and let George Hill fight with him. Although the Pacers' offense performed very well in the face of the opponent's less powerful defense, the Pacers' defense did not have a good way to deal with the opponent.

Because they are not only in the small forward position, Solomon Hill has nothing to do with James, but also Shambaugh is also very difficult to defend Irving in the position of scoring guard, so he can only let Ye Xuan defend Irving, and Love also obviously occupies a certain advantage in the face of West, so within a few rounds, the advantage of the Cavaliers gradually appeared.

The first is that they have a lot of offensive points, so the Pacers have to send people to make up for the defense, which gives the other players of the Cavaliers the opportunity to shoot in the open position, and among the five Cavaliers players on the floor, except for Vallejo, the other four have a certain long-distance projection ability, so the empty shot after the package makes the Cavaliers' offense look very easy.

On the other hand, the gap in physical consumption is too big, although after more than ten rounds, the Pacers' side has not lagged behind by a few points, but Ye Xuan's physical strength has been greatly consumed. In addition to keeping an eye on Irving on the defensive end and helping his teammates with defense from time to time, he also needs to carry the entire team's offense on the offensive end. And although George Hill's single defense can't cause Ye Xuan too much trouble, Hill's defensive skills are still there, so it takes a lot of effort for Ye Xuan to get past the opponent.

After playing like this for about 7 minutes, Ye Xuan was already sweating all over his body, and it was obvious that among the players present, Ye Xuan alone had the greatest physical consumption. At this time, the Cavaliers used the time when the TV was suspended to replace George Hill and replaced him with a Dellavedova who gave Ye Xuan an even more headache. Speaking of this Australian, I have to talk about Bruce Bowen, Bowen's reputation in the NBA is basically known to everyone, Uncle Bao's small actions make all the players who are in position with him hate him as soon as they mention him, and even Ray Allen, who had a very good relationship with the third uncle, chose to break off with him after being made twice by the third uncle's small actions.

And Dellavedova is simply the Bruce Bowen of the new era, on the one hand, both of them are in the position of defenders, and both are positioned as defensive blue-collars. The three points of the two are not bad, the technical characteristics of the two are also very similar, and the most important thing is that both of them are self-taught with a very ruthless little action, and Bowen's small actions such as stepping feet have been constantly mentioned by people until now, and every mention is accompanied by bursts of scolding. And Dellavedova is obviously coming from behind, although there are no injuries caused by small actions, but it has caused many players in the league who have played with him to complain and disgust.

And in addition to replacing Dellavedova, they also replaced Tristan Thompson, who was not particularly dominant in the face of Hibbert, but now that he is off the bench, he has a lot of physical strength, and if the Pacers replace Hibbert later, it will be a question of whether Masimmi can defend the opponent.

The rotation of the Pacers' side seems very simple, they just replaced West, who had just returned, to rest, because they just came back, and they didn't want him to play too long and cause the injury to recur, but it was not Scola who was replaced, but O'Neal Jr. The game continued, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the front court, and then beckoned to call O'Neill Jr. to help block and dismantle, Ye Xuan immediately pulled out after the two blocked and dismantled, and O'Neill Jr. quickly rushed to the inside line, Lefu was not in a hurry, and could only be forced to change defenses.

However, Ye Xuan, who took the ball on the outside, obviously didn't want to beat Lefou, but decisively hoisted the ball directly into the inside line, letting O'Neill Jr. single-handedly bully Dellavedova, who had just been replaced. After O'Neal Jr. received the ball, he was not polite, and directly hit Dellavedova who was less than two meters in a few clicks, and after carrying the opponent away, he pulled it up directly with a powerful dunk, and after successfully scoring the ball, the Pacers were only two points behind the Cavaliers.

On the Cavaliers' side, after replacing Hill, they put the burden of ball control on Irving, and Dellavedova was pitiful enough, obviously playing as an orthodox point guard, but he didn't even have a chance to possess the ball for more than half the court. After Owen brought the ball to the front court, he immediately faced Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan's defense was very careful, and he didn't give Owen any chance at all, Owen had to call Lefu to help block and dismantle. It's a pity that the effect of blocking and dismantling is not particularly good, Ye Xuan is still next to Owen, Owen has to pass the ball to Lefu who did not return to the inside after the high blocking, Lefu pulled up a long-distance two-point shot after receiving the ball, and the basketball hollowed into the net.
