Chapter 57 The Jedi Counterattack

After Ye Xuan left the field, he was dissatisfied with his ability. Facing the league's top defenders, he felt blown away. Then, when he was very confident leading the bench, he didn't recover many points for the team. .Seeing Ye Xuan's expression, Frank knew that he was starting to doubt himself, so he hurried over to enlighten Ye Xuan.

"Ye, you have done a good job. After all, the Clippers are the top team in the league now, and they feel better today. You don't have to blame yourself too much. Facing Paul's annoying little moves, many veterans in the league They will all seem very uncomfortable, let alone a rookie like you. Let me tell you, I will still arrange you to start in the second half to face Paul. I hope you can cheer up and use your vitality and wisdom to open the situation for the team. After Ye Xuan heard it, he nodded heavily, indicating that he understood.

The main players of the two teams fought on the field for another 5-6 minutes. Coach Frank replaced Ye Xuan and played the last 2 minutes of the first half.Ye Xuan came on to replace CJ-Watson. On the offensive end, Ye Xuan did not choose to face Paul's defense directly, so he gave up holding the ball and handed the ball to Paojiao, and he ran without the ball. Move and cut inside to help the team open up space.

Pickle made a three-threat posture with the ball at the top of the arc. Facing JJ Redick's defense, after making a shooting motion, he immediately took the ball down and took a step forward, and then made another bowing motion. The second feint successfully shook Redick up, and Pickled Pepper took another two steps in and hit a short-range jumper before Jordan could come over to defend.

After the two teams stalemate for a while, they entered the intermission, and the score was temporarily fixed at 55:48. The Pacers temporarily fell behind by 7 points.In the locker room, Coach Frank first affirmed everyone's performance in the first half, and then formulated the game tactics for the second half.

"In the second half, I hope everyone can attack the opponent's inside line more. The opponent's inside line looks very strong, but their backup inside line is not very good, and Jordan is also easy to fall into the foul trap. In addition, when defending, I allow you to use hacking shark tactics appropriately. Jordan’s free throws are notoriously poor, and Griffin’s free throws, although they have been improving, are still not up to the average level of the league. Come on, we will definitely win the opponent and overtake the score of."

"Let's Go Pacers!!"

Everyone cheered in the locker room.

The second half of the game began. After Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he used West's pick-and-roll to pass Paul, and then went inside and made a fake shot to shake Jordan. Then Ye Xuan bumped up, causing the opponent to foul , After steadily making two free throws, he slowly returned to his own half.

After changing sides to fight again, Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt, used Barnes' cover to stagger the defense, and then hit the ground back to Barnes who was cutting inside. After receiving the ball, Barnes went inside and made a throw.The basketball hit the back edge of the rim and bounced high, but Jordan on the inside got stuck in a favorable position. After grabbing the rebound, he smashed the rim with both hands and dunked the ball in. By the way, he also caused a foul by Roy Hibbert.

But when it comes to free throws, Jordan's free throws are worse than O'Neal's. Anyway, O'Neal made 11252 free throws in the regular season of his career, making 5935 free throws, and his shooting percentage was 52.7%.

And Jordan's shooting percentage is even more terrible. Except in the 2011-12 season, his free throw percentage exceeded 50% and reached 52.5%, the other seasons were below 50%, and even three seasons. The hit rate is less than 40%.

With such a free throw percentage, the shark-slashing tactic has been carried forward on Jordan. This season, his free throw percentage is still the same. He has just reached 40% of the free throws, which makes him struggle on the one-point line after causing kills in the interior.

And today, his free throws obviously didn't go up either. Amidst the boos of the fans, Jordan waved his hand, and the basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and then only touched the front of the basket. Hibbert Picking up the rebound, he threw the ball to Ye Xuan with a long throw. Ye Xuan dribbled the ball and hit the ground with two steps. The basketball passed through the chasing Paul and sent it directly to Paojiao. Paojiao would not give up such a performance in front of the fans. At the first opportunity, he grabbed the basketball with his right hand and jumped high, then handed the basketball behind his back to his left hand, smashed the ball into the basket, and changed hands behind his back for a dunk!This fast and efficient counterattack also aroused the cheers of the fans in the audience.

And with this fast break, the Pacers generals also sounded the clarion call for a counterattack.First, Ye Xuan seized the opportunity to cut off Griffin's pass from Griffin, who was about to get the ball inside and was about to pass back, and assisted Lance to score two points.

Then, when the opponent missed a shot and counterattacked, Paojiao took advantage of the opportunity of dislocation to make a small hit, swung past the slow-footed Jordan and scored the ball, and the score was close to 57:56 in an instant. Firth saw the opponent's offensive, and quickly called a timeout.

At the end of the timeout, Paul suppressed his rhythm after Rivers' instructions, slowly protected the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Griffin who asked for the ball inside.After Griffin received the ball, he first tested David West with his back, but then sank down and pressed in with his back. Passed out, after receiving the ball, JJ-Redick feinted a shot, shook away the pickled pepper that had thrown back to block the block, and then dribbled inward to hit a jumper, finally stabilizing the ground for the Clippers.

The game continued, and the Pacers began to play a pick-and-roll. After West blocked Ye Xuan, he immediately cut inside. Into the inside, West behind the thin Redick is naturally easy to catch.

In the next round, after Paul suddenly scored to Redick, the opportunity was wasted again. It seemed that they left all their touch in the first half, but fortunately this time, Jordan once again overwhelmed Hibbert and grabbed the rebound. As soon as Jordan took the ball, he was hugged by West on the side before he could take off and dunk.Immediately, Jordan felt that the world was against him. Thinking about going to the free throw line, he wished he hadn't grabbed the rebound just now.

Walking to the free throw line, Jordan first drew a cross in the void, and then shot, as if a prayer had worked, the basketball bounced a few times on the rim and then bounced in.Jordan was so happy that he ran back to the half court to celebrate with his teammates, and then ran back in despair amidst the laughter of the audience to make the second free throw.The second free throw was missed, which was in line with his shooting percentage. Hibbert quickly grabbed the rebound and handed it to Ye Xuan.
