Chapter 250

After defeating the Suns, the Pacers will soon face the Trail Blazers who eliminated the Rockets in the first round of the Western Conference last season.The Trail Blazers' personnel changes this season are not particularly large. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard are still the core of the inside and outside lines, creating pressure on the opponent on both ends of the offense and defense. Then the all-round small forward Nicholas Batum and the mascot killer Robin Lopez have good coping abilities and the ability to open up space, which also gives the two cores room to display.

Generally speaking, as long as the Trail Blazers do not encounter any injuries or the like, their strength is still very strong. On December 12, the Pacers arrived in Portland on time to challenge the Trail Blazers.After the start of the game, Ye Xuan showed his amazing fighting power. Facing Lillard's defense, Ye Xuan still played relatively easily. On the one hand, it was because Lillard's height and weight were not dominant. , On the other hand, it is also because Lillard is also a player with strong offense and weak defense, just like Irving of the Cavaliers. Although the offensive ability is really strong, their defense can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of this position. .

Therefore, Ye Xuan's chances of success in singles are quite high. In just 3 minutes of the game, Ye Xuan took 6 shots and hit 4 of them, scoring 10 points.One of the two misses was missed because of the interference of Aldridge, who came to defend after Ye Xuan rushed in.

And the Trail Blazers' tactical arrangement doesn't seem to be ready to change. They still let Lillard play against Ye Xuan. Like the Cavaliers, they also hope that Lillard will put some pressure on Ye Xuan on the offensive end, so that the Ye Xuan's physical consumption intensified.But their wishful thinking was wrong. After the first quarter, Ye Xuan did not show the slightest fatigue. Although the Pacers' offensive and defensive ends were supported by Ye Xuan alone, Ye Xuan This time I didn't feel particularly tired, and I didn't deliberately put down the call to preserve my energy.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led their opponent by 8 points with Ye Xuan's outstanding performance.After entering the second quarter, Ye Xuan rested off the court for 4 minutes. It was not until the second quarter that the opponent relied on the rotation of the main players to tie the score, and Ye Xuan was replaced.At this time, the opponent can be regarded as coming out. Simply relying on the rotation of the consumption of the two main players will not be able to play the feeling of the Cavaliers, so Terry Stotts decisively changed the original tactical thinking, and turned to And send Batum to defend Ye Xuan.

Batum was originally a big and small forward position, but after being assigned to defend Ye Xuan, his speed was not particularly disadvantaged, which immediately made Ye Xuan more uncomfortable on the offensive end. Fortunately, Ye Xuan After attracting Batum's defense, Solomon Hill's long-range offensive firepower was also liberated, so the Pacers did not let their opponents catch up with the score at the end of the second quarter. Leading by 5 points into the intermission.

At this time, Ye Xuan was actually starting to lack physical strength. After the first half, Ye Xuan's physical strength had already been exhausted by more than half. Although after a half-time recovery, Ye Xuan's physical strength began to recover slowly, but Time passed quickly, and when the third quarter was about to start, Ye Xuan's physical strength probably only recovered to about 60%.

And this physical strength does not mean that you can perform well as long as you still have physical strength. Once your physical strength drops below 30%, the efficiency of shooting and breakthrough will become relatively low. Then let Ye Xuan bear the burden. As for the important tasks on both ends of the offense and defense, it is estimated that Ye Xuan will be exhausted again before the end of the game.So when Ye Xuan was about to enter the stage, he quickly touched a bottle of small stamina recovery potion in the system.

As a result, after seeing the real thing in his hand, Ye Xuan immediately wanted to complain again. Looking at the small blue bottle with a diameter of about 1 cm and a height of about 10 cm in his hand, Ye Xuan couldn't help but think of his previous life in China. The thing I drank when I was "blue bottle of calcium, delicious calcium?"

However, after drinking this thing, Ye Xuan immediately regained his energy, as if he had taken a stimulant. When he thought of the stimulant, Ye Xuan suddenly became nervous, and felt like asking the system "Xiaokong, what's the matter?" Can the post-match urine test be found out? You won’t get me a positive urine test and get me suspended right away?”

"Master, please rest assured that the products produced by the system are all natural and have no side effects. Natural herbal essences are not chemically synthesized drugs, and will not be detected by any tests."

Listening to the system's explanation that it feels like the advertisement is the same thing, Ye Xuan just wanted to continue complaining, but the coach Frank next to him was already calling him to get ready to play, so Ye Xuan had to hurry up. The spirit of complaining was suppressed, and then he moved his hands and feet, ready to go out.

As soon as the second half of the game started, the Trail Blazers began to exert their strength. First of all, Aldridge, the boss of the Trail Blazers, played David West continuously inside the Pacers. David - Although West's foot is still relatively stable, it seems a bit unsightly when facing a power forward like Aldridge who is tall, long, and has good shooting ability.

After being attacked by the opponent with the same move for three consecutive rounds, the Pacers had to change their matchup and chose to let Hibbert defend Aldridge and West to fight the mascot. Killer Robin Lopez in hand-to-hand combat.After switching defenses, Hibbert has a lot of experience with Aldridge's turnaround jumper. After all, he also played against Bosh, Garnett, Nowitzki, Duncan and other monsters with turnaround jumpers. He has rich experience.

Although such a matchup is still uncomfortable for West, it is undoubtedly the best choice for the Pacers.The opponents originally thought that Ye Xuan would start to have physical problems after playing for a while in the third quarter under such a high-intensity transition between offense and defense, but the result was beyond their expectations, because Ye Xuan not only played in the first half nearly In 20 minutes, Ye Xuan still played for 10 minutes in the third quarter. After the three quarters, the Pacers relied on Ye Xuan's outstanding performance and the good touch of other players to keep the score gap at 10. It is good news for the Pacers to enter the fourth quarter with a lead of 10 points.
