Chapter 465 Breaking Again
From the perspective of the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers are actually the best to play against the Bulls, because the Bulls do not have that kind of outstanding players on the perimeter. They are not like the Wizards or the Raptors. That way, they can pose a threat to the Pacers on the offensive end, thereby forcing the Pacers to strengthen their defense, and then their pressure on the defensive end will be reduced.The young guards of the Bucks also have their characteristics, that is, they are very powerful, which can frustrate both the offensive and defensive ends of the Pacers. It takes a lot of energy to defend, so I want to completely pull It is not easy to open the gap.

But the Bulls are different. Their current core can be said to be Jimmy Butler, but Butler's offense with the ball has not been particularly reliable. Now that Rose has returned, his opportunities to attack with the ball have decreased. Well, let alone practicing it.Although the inside line looks very powerful, with an All-Star power forward and a best defensive player, Noah's state this season can only be described as a free fall. In fact, he won the best defensive player from him Since then, his state has been problematic. Last season, he averaged only 9 points and 9 rebounds per game, a full 7 points and 4 rebounds less than the best defensive player in that season. This is simply a diving decline.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is Rose. Rose's current offensive efficiency is also terrible. When Rose is on the court, the Bulls lose an average of 5.3 points. This data is absolutely intolerable for the core of a team, but there is no way. Now, even if the Bulls want to trade Rose, they can't find a next home. After all, Rose's $2000 million salary because of the Rose clause is not just talk.

At the end of the first quarter, although the opponent managed to stabilize the situation after Ye Xuan and others were replaced one after another, they still lost 14 points in a single quarter. The most exaggerated thing is that they lost as much as 42 points in the first quarter. Points, which is their highest conceded record in the first quarter of this season.However, this is indeed the characteristic of the Pacers. In the first quarter of the game, the crazy offense made the opponent feel enough pressure, and then in the second and third quarters, he suddenly improved his defense and beat the opponent Defeat, this season the Pacers have scored more than 40 points in the first quarter for as many as 5 games, and the Pacers have won the game in these five games, this will be the sixth game, the ending It is estimated that there will be no exception.

In the second quarter of the game, as the Pacers replaced the main force, the Bulls' resistance was finally suppressed. Their substitutes did play well, and they played well with the Pacers' substitutes. Back, the performances of Taj Gibson and Mirotic have indeed played a big role, and although Xiaobu is indeed a big colander in defense, his offense is indeed very eye-catching. No wonder he is so thin but Still able to find his place in the NBA.

However, after the main players of the Pacers were replaced, the life of the Bulls was difficult. They insisted very reluctantly, but now the opponent's main lineup came back after a rest, and the Bulls couldn't resist in an instant. Well, in just 7 and a half minutes, the Pacers scored 28 points again, while the Bulls only scored 17 points, and beat the Bulls by 8 points in a single quarter.

During the intermission, the Pacers also returned to the locker room with a 22-point difference. This game was a typical Pacers-style victory. He didn’t adjust his defense, but in the second quarter, he used his defense and personal ability to open up the situation and win the game in one fell swoop. In fact, this situation happened in games against teams such as the Bucks and Pistons. It’s a pity This of the Pacers can be said to be a conspiracy, and there is no way to crack it without absolute strength.

The second half of the game was much simpler. The main players of the Pacers played again, but they were replaced directly after only playing for 5 minutes. These 5 minutes were actually used to collect statistics for Ye Xuan and Paojiao. Yes, because Ye Xuan's offense was mainly based on passing the ball at the beginning of the game, so he got his tenth assist shortly after the start of the third quarter, and the same is true for Paojiao, and he also After raising his data to 20+5+5, he was replaced.

The Bulls actually knew that the general trend of the game was over, so they didn't struggle anymore, but also chose to replace the main players and let the substitutes play to find out. Excellent performance, so the Pacers won the final victory at home with 124:101. A 23-point victory also consolidated the Pacers' second position in the Eastern Conference, and because the Cavaliers lost yesterday The game against the Warriors, so their current lead has only one win left. If the Pacers still win so strongly in the future, then the number one position in the Eastern Conference is just around the corner.

Ye Xuan still got a double-double in this game, but he didn't get many rebounds, mainly because the opponent's insiders were still relatively active like Mirotic and Taj Gibson, and his playing time was relatively limited. , so Ye Xuan's data was finally fixed at 19 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists. However, although Ye Xuan's scoring and assists this season did not enter the top ten in the statistical rankings, Ye Xuan's steals are still still Ranked 7th in the league, he is now averaging 2.1 steals per game. Although there are still a lot of people in front of him, considering that Ye Xuan only played 29 minutes per game this season, all this makes sense.

After the game against the Bulls, Ye Xuan had to face a choice. Seeing that the time has come to the end of December, Ye Xuan now needs to consider his own physical problems, or use the broken and then erected capsules now , and then forbearance waited until the playoffs came back, and then killed the Quartet.Either you have to restrain your desire to attack, try your best to ensure that you will not get hurt, so that you can avoid getting hurt, and then play in the playoffs, but if this is the case, if Ye Xuan is injured again when the playoffs are approaching, Then it really cannot be saved.

Faced with this uncertainty, Ye Xuan also began to worry a little bit. After all, last season he lost the championship because of injuries. If this season still loses the championship because of this reason, then Ye Xuan really can't shake the blame. Lost.But fortunately, it's not the end of January yet, so we can look at the situation before making plans.

However, according to Murphy's Law, Ye Xuan's chances of being injured in this situation are obviously much higher than the chances of not being injured, and if he enters the playoffs with potential injuries, he will be at risk of falling down at any time. I'm afraid that the tragedy of last season will repeat itself again.Ye Xuan also thought that he might be injured in the next game, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. On December 29th, they ushered in a challenge from the Wizards at home. The last time they faced the Wizards Not long after the match, the Pacers won the last game relatively easily, but in this game, they did not expect that they would lose the most important member of the team.

Not long after the start of the game, Ye Xuan discovered that Wall was particularly active today. This made Ye Xuan, who was not in charge of defending Wall, feel some pressure. Rondo's defense today was completely ineffective. Bill hit the ball in singles for two consecutive rounds, so Frank Vogel on the sidelines also chose to let Ye Xuan and Rondo switch defenses, let Rondo defend the slightly weaker Bill, and Ye Xuan defended today's Wall suddenly broke out.

However, Ye Xuan's defense was not able to lock Wall. Although it made Wall's breakthrough more difficult, he was still able to cause some damage to the Pacers' inside line from time to time, which made Jordan on the inside - Hill is also under a lot of pressure.After being passed by Wall again with a quick change of direction, Ye Xuan also got a little over the top. He felt that his dominance at the point guard position was being challenged, so he decisively wanted to attack the opponent on the offensive end. The way to fight back is naturally to surpass others again and again, so Ye Xuan with all his strength suddenly came out of the arena again.

After the decision was made, Ye Xuan naturally began to play a big role on the offensive end. After halftime, he directly waved for the ball. Rondo naturally knew what Ye Xuan meant, and immediately passed the ball. Xuan's was not Wall anymore, but Bradley Beal. Ye Xuan didn't care so much at this time. CIC scored two points.

Looking back, Wall found that after Ye Xuan also started to fight back, he became even more energetic. He also controlled the ball to the frontcourt on his own, and then used various large-scale emergency stops to make breakthroughs. He was trying his best to defend the opponent, but it was too difficult for the defensive end to keep up with this rhythm. Ye Xuan was finally shaken away. Wall did not choose to continue attacking the basket after shaking Ye Xuan away this time, but He chose to pass the ball, and then Bill hit an open mid-range shot. Presumably it was because he wanted to save some energy to face Ye Xuan.

From the 4th minute of the first quarter, the top point guards of the two leagues began a peak duel between the two of them. Here, Wall forced a breakthrough and sent an assist, and Ye Xuan immediately made a breakthrough in the same way. The ball helped his teammates to make a good shot. Here Wall used the pick-and-roll to forcefully go to the basket and caused a foul on the Pacers' inside player. Ye Xuan immediately used a fake move to fly the defensive player from the outside, and then forcibly Conceded three free throws.

The two of them were going head to head against Maimang, and they played back and forth. Although it was precisely because Ye Xuan was in control of the pace of the Pacers, they couldn't take advantage of other points, but the audience was very excited. It is also interesting to watch. After all, although they are fans of the Pacers, no fans are willing to watch the team every two and a half quarters before clocking out of get off work every time they come to the scene, and then enter the boring and long garbage time. Now this anxious game is more suitable for their taste.

In the first quarter, the two played until the end of the whole quarter before they were both replaced to rest. Due to the super performance of the two on the offensive end, the statistics of the two were also very astonishing. The time is soy sauce, so the data is not as bright as Wall's, but it still has contributed 15 points and 7 assists in a single quarter, which is why the Pacers scored 35 points in a single quarter, and Wall Here, more is reflected in his passing. His statistics in the first quarter were almost on the verge of reaching a double-double, with 13 points and 9 assists, helping the Wizards score 39 points in the first quarter, taking the lead. Four points out of the Pacers.

In the second quarter, the two were replaced after a long rest. Coincidentally, when the Pacers replaced Ye Xuan, it was Rondo who replaced Ye Xuan, while the Wizards replaced Ye Xuan. Let Wall switch to the second position. Obviously, both of them want to directly confront each other, but it happened that both sides made adjustments at the same time, which caused the two to be misplaced again. However, in the second round after the last time, Wall They immediately returned to the point guard position, and the audience also knew that the two would continue the point guard battle for them.

But what I didn't expect was that Ye Xuan's knees were starting to be a little unsupported at this time. In the game where Ye Xuan scored 50+10+10, the hidden dangers of Ye Xuan's knee injuries began to worsen. , but Ye Xuan didn't care too much at that time, because at that time he had already collected the survival time to buy the potion, but in the next few games, Ye Xuan still didn't restrain his desire to attack, which led to this injury The hidden danger became more and more serious, and finally in this game, it broke out!
In the last attack of the second quarter, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and watched the countdown, and only Wall was defending Ye Xuan. Everyone knew that Ye Xuan would play the ball by himself, but the Wizards were obviously affected by Ye Xuan. Xuan's gesture, so he didn't come to double-team Ye Xuan, but just when Ye Xuan was about to use a difficult change of direction to accelerate past Wall, a sharp pain in his knee made Ye Xuan suddenly lose his ability to think , Seeing Ye Xuan fall down suddenly, Wall picked up the ball and prepared to counterattack, but finally stopped after running two steps, and then paused for two seconds, the referee also blew the whistle to end the first half. It wasn't until the Pacers players realized that Ye Xuan hadn't got up, and they didn't expect that this would be Ye Xuan's last game with the Pacers.
