Chapter 51 Against the Eagles
The next day, the Pacers ushered in the Atlanta Hawks who came to challenge at home.Although the Eagles have entered the playoffs for 6 consecutive seasons, the current situation of the team is not good. Before the season, the general manager Danny Ferry made a big change to the team according to his own ideas, forming the current team Lineup, the team missed the original starting power forward Josh Smith, who has become a free agent, signed veterans Paul Millsap and Elton Brand instead, and hired former Spurs assistant coach Mike Buden Holzer served as the team's head coach.

Although there are still many talented players on the team, such as Al Horford, Jeff Teague and Lou Williams, the chemical reaction between the players after the big change is this The biggest problem facing the team this season.In the latter part of the season, Al Horford's health problems have been plagued by the team, and the lack of cooperation among the players has led to the fact that although as many as 6 players in the team can average more than 10 points per game, the results Only hovering between No. 7 and No. 8 in the East.Coach Frank also regarded his opponent as a potential opponent in the first round of the playoffs.

Before the start of the game, Coach Frank also simply adjusted the lineup. Since they are the opponents in the playoffs, they should use the lineup for the playoffs in the future to train.So Ye Xuan was promoted to the starting position, let Ye Xuan play shooting guard, Paul George mentioned the position of small forward, and Lance Stephenson played as the sixth man.

The game started quickly. Ye Xuan, who was promoted to shooting guard again, was very active at the beginning of the game. After setting an off-ball screen with David West, he ran out of the open space, and Hill's pass was passed instantly. , Ye Xuan received the pass and took a step inward to make Jeff Teague, who was defending, back up, and then took a step back to the outside of the three-point line, and directly hit a three-pointer.After making the shot, Ye Xuan looked at Korver meaningfully. After all, he got into the NBA relying on his shooting talent.

As a result, Korver didn't feel those deep meanings. He only thought that Ye Xuan was provoking him. When he came to the frontcourt, he waved directly to Teague. Jeff Teague rarely saw Korver asking for the ball. , so he didn't consider handing the ball directly to him. Korver caught the ball and faced Ye Xuan and made a super long three-pointer directly.After hitting a three-pointer, Korver said to Ye Xuan, "You will pay for your arrogance, rookie." Ye Xuan was also confused.

But Ye Xuan found that Korver's speed was indeed slow enough. Ye Xuan didn't ask his teammates to help this time. , Ye Xuan caught the ball and hit another three-pointer in the left corner.

After the shot, because of Korver's provocation just now, Ye Xuan glanced at Korver again, and then blew on his hand, expressing that he felt very hot today.But Korver is a veteran after all, and he is a pitcher known for his stability, so he didn't rush to fight back angrily, but ran tactics as usual.

After Jeff Teague and DeMarre Carroll, who were in possession of the ball, made a pick-and-roll, they broke through directly. Ye Xuan hurried to defend Teague, but Teague passed the ball from behind and directly handed the ball to Korver, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, made another open three-pointer. After Korver hit the three-pointer, he shrugged at Ye Xuan.

On the sidelines of the commentary, Jeff Van Gundy found a clue, "Oh, after the opening, the shooting guards on both sides are fully fired, and they have made two three-pointers respectively, but I found an interesting thing. After Xuan made a three-pointer in the opening game, he stared at Korver intentionally or unintentionally, and after Korver retaliated, he also sprayed trash talk at Ye Xuan. It seems that Ye Xuan intends to challenge the league A top three-point shooter."

Mark Jackson also went on to say, "Yes, when the two of them were still shooting each other's second three-pointers, they made provocative moves at their opponents. It seems that today we may see a three-pointer. .”

Not to mention the hot chat between the two on the commentary stand, and the rhythm of the court was changing rapidly. After Hill handed the ball to Pickle, he took the defender away and let Pickle play singles.

Facing DeMarre Carroll's defense, Pickled Pepper directly turned around and passed the opponent, and then made a mid-range shot.Looking back, Teague lobbed the ball to Paul Millsap who was in the paint. Millsap used his footsteps to shake David West and made a layup.In the next few rounds, the Pacers' offense was very smooth. Under Hill's tandem, Paojiao and Ye Xuan's offensive efficiency was very high.

The Eagles, on the other hand, barely maintained the score by virtue of their super high three-point shooting percentage.When the game entered the TV pause in the first quarter, Frank temporarily replaced Ye Xuan, who scored 5 points on 4 of 12 three-pointers, and replaced him with Lance Stephenson. At this time, the score of the two teams was 22: 19 The Pacers led by three points.

After Lance played, Pickle returned to his familiar position of shooting guard. Facing the slow Kyle Korver, he forced a breakthrough directly and entered the penalty area, causing Millsap to foul and made two free throws. .The opponent also discovered this problem and quickly asked Carroll to switch defenses with Korver.

However, on the offensive end, the Eagles still maintained their fiery touch. After Jeff Teague and Carroll hit the wall and cooperated, they retreated directly to the three-point line and hit another shot.The offensive success rate of both sides is very high. When the game progressed to less than 3 minutes left in the first quarter, coach Frank took the lead in replacing the main lineup for a rest. Mike Budenholzer saw that the opponent replaced the main lineup, so he also With a big wave of his hand, he replaced his substitute.

Compared with the Pacers' excellent defensive substitutes, the Eagles' substitutes are known for their sharp offense. Scola missed the mid-range shot after receiving the ball, allowing the Eagles to seize the opportunity instantly.Elton Brand grabbed the rebound and handed it to Shelvin Mark. After Shelvin Mark quickly advanced to the frontcourt, a cross pass passed the ball to Louis Williams next to him. Lu Wei received the pass and went straight Pull up and shoot, three-pointer.

After the substitute lineup finished the first quarter, Ye Xuan found that today's Eagles' three-point shooting rate is indeed very unscientific. In the first quarter alone, the Eagles made 11 of 8 three-pointers, and the shooting percentage was as high as 72. %.The Eagles also led the Pacers by 36 points 32:4 at the end of the first quarter by virtue of their super high shooting percentage.

 I don’t know why today, but suddenly there are a lot of cancellations in a row, but the comments don’t say what’s wrong or what’s wrong, which makes me a little dizzy.I hope that readers can leave a message to tell me if they are not satisfied, otherwise I don't know how to improve. . . .
