Chapter 246 Being Cannibalized
After the entire second quarter, Ye Xuan discovered a very serious situation, that is, the opponent's lineup beats the Pacers' current lineup without any pressure. It's just a bite, but once one's hand feeling and physical strength begin to decline, the opponent can quickly open the score.

At the end of the first half, the Pacers didn't seem to be particularly behind, only 8 points behind the opponent, but looking at the opponent's playing time and Ye Xuan's playing time, Coach Frank knew that the game was bad or bad. Well, first of all, Ye Xuan played for 19 minutes in the first half of the game. The team was still leading by nearly 15 points despite such a large physical consumption. This is undoubtedly unacceptable for the Pacers. Let's take another look The playing time of the opponents, except that James' playing time is comparable to that of Ye Xuan, their other two giants, Irving only played 16 minutes, and Love only played 35 minutes, compared to their last season. The average playing time of [-]+ per game is already very easy.

And from the point of view of physical consumption, the Pacers are also at an absolute disadvantage. The shooting and touch rates of the opponents' Big Three are basically the same. Except for James because he wants to control the ball, the remaining two are both. The shots are very even, which also means that their physical distribution is also very reasonable. On the Pacers side, as long as Ye Xuan is on the court, basically all the offenses are initiated by Ye Xuan, so Ye Xuan's physical fitness It is also a disadvantage.

During the intermission, Coach Frank had been thinking about how to play this game. Unfortunately, after thinking about it, except for Ye Xuan's sudden explosion and consecutive shots, there was no other chance to win.The second half of the game started soon. The Pacers still used the starting lineup from the first half, but the Cavaliers put Varejao inside on the bench and let Tristan -Thompson came to serve as the main center.

The Cavaliers served from the backcourt. After Hill brought the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to James to organize. Solomon Hill has already defended James very well, but it is a pity that he still cannot stop him from helping his teammates. James' thinking is actually very clear. After letting everyone pull away, he will hand the ball to Irving for singles. Owen's opponent is Ye Xuan, so Ye Xuan has to spend a lot of energy on defense. .On the offensive end, Ye Xuan had to do it himself, which caused Ye Xuan's physical strength to drop very quickly.

Ye Xuan was already a little tired when the game was suspended in the third quarter. Although the Pacers narrowed the point difference from 6 points to 8 points within 5 minutes, they also consumed a lot of energy. On the Cavaliers side, Irving is basically the only one who is physically exhausted, and James, Love and others have not yet started to exert their strength.

Sure enough, after the advertising pause ended, the Cavaliers suddenly strengthened their defense, and now it has become George Hill's leading defense in an instant, while the other four are a zone defense that stands still and is ready to defend at any time formation.This caused a lot of trouble for Ye Xuan's offense. When the game reached the 9th minute of the third quarter, Ye Xuan's physical strength could no longer support this intensity of offensive and defensive rhythm, so the Pacers The team also called a timeout and took the lead in entering the rotation of personnel.

The Cavaliers saw that the Pacers called a timeout, and they also made substitutions very roguely. However, they did not choose to replace all the main players, but replaced Irving and George Hill. These two players matched up with Ye Xuan on both offense and defense, and then replaced Tristan Thompson with Varejao.In this way, James and Love on the field can still lead the substitutes to continue to grab points on the field, and after the Pacers were forced to replace Ye Xuan, they simply replaced West and Hibbert directly. The inside line was replaced by JR-Smith, Luis Scola and Mahinmi.

It's a pity that in this way, the team doesn't even have a player who can carry out effective organization, and the important task of ball control has to be done by JR-Smith.Fortunately, JR-Smith, who has been influenced by red thoughts, can be regarded as hard-working after coming to the Pacers, and he has played better and better on the offensive end. I don’t know if it’s because Ye Xuan can indeed create more opportunities for his teammates. , or JR has really evolved.

The third quarter ended like this. The Pacers' substitutes didn't have much to do when facing James and Love. Although JR-Smith and Solomon Hill have been resisting desperately, It's a pity that the opponent once again opened the score to 10 points. That is to say, within 3 minutes after Ye Xuan left the field, the Pacers lost 6 points without knowing it.

It's a pity that the opponent was still not satisfied with the result. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the rotation was carried out again, and Irving and Hill were replaced again. James and Love went down to rest, but Irving alone The interest rate breakthrough also caused a headache for the Pacers, and Coach Frank originally didn't want Ye Xuan to play so early, but the situation was a little out of control, so Ye Xuan didn't start the game in the fourth quarter. At 2 minutes, he was replaced.

Now the situation has been stabilized, but it is a pity that the point difference can only be narrowed slowly before James and Love come back, and Owen can also sneak attack from time to time to chase points for Ye Xuan. Increase the difficulty, which makes the Pacers' journey to chase points even more difficult.Finally, Ye Xuan used his personal ability to narrow the point difference between the two teams to 8 points. The Cavaliers had a timeout, and then replaced James and Love again. In the stalemate of coming and going.

Time is slowly consumed by the opponent, and the players on the Pacers team are getting more and more anxious.Of course, Ye Xuan was also very anxious, but the opponent used his multi-point flowering characteristics to continuously consume Ye Xuan's physical strength, and the score did not allow the Pacers to chase it back.In this way, the game went on for about 6 or 7 minutes, and the Pacers were still 10 points behind their opponents.Ye Xuan's physical strength began to decline again, while the Cavaliers still seemed to be able to handle it with ease. After all, the possession of the ball was relatively scattered, and the only James who played more minutes than Ye Xuan was still a physical monster.
