Chapter 237 The Strong Bulls
On the opponent's side, although a total of 5 players scored in double figures, there was no particularly significant scoring point. Gallinari, who scored the highest score, only scored 15 points. This is why the Nuggets lost so badly in this game. one of the reasons.In the end, the Pacers defeated the Nuggets who came to challenge at their home court, increased their winning streak to 5 games, and also improved their record to the third place in the Eastern Conference, because their opponent Bulls tomorrow Lost to their opponents in yesterday's game, and now the record has become 6 wins and 3 losses, which is already behind the Pacers with 7 wins and 3 losses.

After introducing Gasol, the champion insider from the Lakers this season, the strength of the Bulls has been strengthened again. Although their former core Derrick Rose is still recovering from injury, with Jimmy Butler now The performance is getting better and better, and the Bulls are now slowly getting on the right track.

In addition, some role players in the team have also begun to grow slowly, such as the blue-collar player Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic. These two have also rapidly improved their offensive skills. In the past nine games this season, these two have averaged more than 10 points per game, and can contribute more than 5 rebounds per game. One of the reasons for the record of 6 wins and 3 losses.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was November 11th. The Pacers were making final lineup adjustments in the locker room of the visiting team. The difference from the previous games was that this time, Coach Frank chose to Scola was put on the bench, because Scola was still a little too tall when facing Gasol, so coach Frank put O'Neal in the starting list, on the one hand, he also thought that O'Neal was actually with the Gasol is about the same age, and his physical consumption should not be much different. On the one hand, it is because Gasol has always been at a disadvantage when he was facing O'Neal, so he wants O'Neal to put some pressure on the opponent on the court.

The game started in a blink of an eye. Hibbert successfully won the jump ball in front of Noah. Ye Xuan slowly controlled the basketball and came to the Bulls' half court. The choice was very similar to that of other teams. The Bulls also He chose to let his outside defenders guard Ye Xuan. After all, as long as Ye Xuan can be locked up, the Pacers' current lineup basically has no ability to fight back.

However, Ye Xuan is obviously used to defending himself against opponents who are taller and stronger than himself, so when facing Jimmy Butler's defense, Ye Xuan didn't have any special feelings. At that time, except for Ye Xuan's match against Parker in the first game of the finals, he was basically guarded by defensive idiots like Leonard. Obviously, Ye Xuan is used to it now.

Therefore, facing Butler's defense, Ye Xuan still chose to forcefully break through the opponent. On the one hand, he wanted to test the strength of the opponent's defense, and on the other hand, he also wanted to boost the morale of the team.However, Ye Xuan obviously underestimated the opponent's strength. Although Butler was a little-known defensive blue-collar at the beginning, but with Rose's injury, Butler also got more opportunities, so now for the defense. , Butler is still very confident.

After Ye Xuan's continuous change of direction was blocked by the opponent, he had to pass the ball to Shumpert, and then reorganized the attack by receiving the ball from outside the three-point line. O'Neal was called to help with the pick-and-roll, and now he finally got rid of Butler's marking.After Ye Xuan passed Butler, he went directly to the opponent's penalty area, but was immediately intimidated by the opponent's inside defense. Let alone Gasol's attack from the flank, Noah, who last season The best defensive player in the game also sneaked over to block Ye Xuan, so frightened that Ye Xuan quickly changed his shooting action in the air, switched from shooting to throwing the ball, and threw the ball high.

The basketball jumped over Noah's fingertips who jumped up to block Ye Xuan, and was grabbed by Hibbert behind Noah with both hands, and then slammed into the basket.Although the process was very difficult, the result was good.After completing this alley-oop at the beginning of the game, the morale of the Pacers was also boosted. With a bang, they directly beat the opponent 4:14 in the opening 7 minutes. At this time, Tom Thibodeau Also had to call a timeout to cool down the opponent.

I don't know what Thibodeau said during the timeout. When the Bulls played again, the entire offensive rhythm was completely different. As a high-ranking player of the 03 generation, Kirk Hinrich also suddenly fell He started to show off his power. Although he has no good way to deal with Ye Xuan's defense on the offensive with the ball, his assists have become the key to threading the needle for the team.

After a short timeout, the matchup between the two teams seemed to be different. After the Bulls came back from the timeout, it only took 5 minutes to recover the 7-point difference. Although the Pacers' performance on the offensive end is quite satisfactory, they can't stop the opponent's sudden and direct explosion.

After being quickly overtaken by the opponent's consecutive three-pointers and two plus one, Coach Frank couldn't sit still and called a timeout to adjust the state of the players on the field, and also made a substitution by the way , he replaced the other three people except Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill, and replaced them with Scola, Mahinmi and JR-Smith.

After returning to the court, Ye Xuan immediately used a breakthrough to help JR-Smith hit a three-pointer that was one step away from the three-point line. Ye Xuan lamented that JR felt good today , You can pass him a few more balls, and suddenly a full-court press came forward.For Ye Xuan's sudden change, Hinrich didn't react for a while, and was almost cut off by Ye Xuan. Fortunately, Hinrich is also a veteran of the league for 11 years, so he quickly stabilized Stand in your own position, hold the ball in your arms and wait for your teammates to come and respond.

Butler rushed over to receive the pass. Hinrich's pass didn't wait for him to push forward. The referee on the sidelines had already blown his whistle. It turned out that coach Tom Thibodeau saw that the team was about to violate the 8-second violation at halftime. , so I had to call a timeout to prevent the ball from being seized by the opponent.
