NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 231
Xu Xiang faced Jeff Teague and forced a breakthrough into the penalty area. Xu Xiang didn't shoot, but moved his wrist slightly, and skillfully passed the ball from behind to Hibbert in front of him. Hibbert forced a dunk!

The Eagles continued to organize the offense. Horford tried a three-pointer at the top of the outside arc. With a bang, the basketball passed through the net, and there was a wave of white waves. The Eagles' outside line opened!
The Pacers turned around and made a mistake. The ball was knocked out of bounds, and the ball was given to the Eagles. Korver made another three-pointer from the outside, and with a bang, he scored!

The Eagles already had three three-pointers in the opening game.

West hit the iron with two points, the rebound was taken by Horford, the Eagles quickly counterattacked, and Korver hit a three-pointer again!
Ah!
The audience boiled instantly!

Coach Nate could only call a timeout to slow down the pace. If the game continued like this, the first quarter would be wasted.

After returning from the timeout, the rhythm of the Eagles was interrupted. Millsap missed a layup and the rebound was blocked by Hibbert. After stabilizing for a while, he gave the ball to George Hill and advanced one step beyond the three-point line.

Hibbert made a pick-and-roll, and Hill slipped out of the open space in an instant with the help of the pick-and-roll, and took a three-pointer, but also missed!

The Eagles made an offensive foul and were awarded a free throw. Hill went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

The rebound was taken by Horford, and the Eagles launched a quick counterattack.

Korver faced Xu Xiang's defense from the bottom corner, but it was a pity that the ball went out of the frame, Millsap made a sneaky tip-up under the basket, and the Eagles scored two points.

In the first quarter, the two sides played back and forth. At the end of the first quarter, 29-33, the Pacers trailed by two points. The main reason was that Korver hit three three-pointers alone in the first quarter and scored nine points. This man's three-pointers were too accurate.

Paul George was replaced during the first official timeout. Coach Nate knew clearly that Paul George had no problem starting, but his playing time must not be too long. Their goal has always been the future rather than the present.

Xu Xiang was also replaced with 4 minutes left. Now the Pacers are on the full bench, and Jeff Teague is left on the opposite side.

At the beginning of the second quarter, George was replaced on the field again, and he also rested for seven or eight minutes. Coach Nate was going to let him lead the team to play for a while, and let Xu Xiang take a rest.

Paul George shoots very resolutely from the outside. His three-point shooting percentage has improved significantly after his injury healed. In the last few games of the regular season, his average three-point shooting percentage was about 40%, which is already a very high number.

"Today's pickled peppers are really accurate, and I really dare to shoot." Teacher Wang said in admiration. So far, pickled peppers have thrown three three-pointers, and also hit a mid-range breakthrough.

"You have to shoot when you feel good, otherwise isn't it a waste?" Mr. Su said with a smile, they must want the Pacers to win, so they unconsciously sided with the Pacers in their words.

With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, George went off the court again, and Xu went up to the field to make a relay.

As soon as Xu Xiang came up, he hit two mid-range shots one after another, smoothing the point difference, and the two sides drew 45-45.

However, next, the Eagles' tactics changed. As long as Xu Xiang has the ball, they will immediately switch defenses, let Jeff Teague play Xu Xiang, Korver will defend George Hill, and the offensive end still grabs Xu Xiang.

Jeff Teague kept making physical contact with Xu Xiang. Faced with his closeness, Xu Xiang had no choice but to take a step back to make room for himself, collect the ball, take off, kick his legs, and shoot from the middle distance!
With a bang, a successful hit!

The Eagles' offense, Jeff Teague's outside organization, passed the ball to Horford who came to the high post, and cut to the basket by himself, but the ball did not arrive for a long time, Horford was entangled by West, so he was forced to pass the ball to Korver on the outside.

Xu Xiang pursed his lips, this guy is a bug.

No wonder James will bring Korver over in the future. This kind of player was born for James' system.

Facing Jeff Teague, Xu Xiang was very annoyed by him who kept making little defensive moves, and would tickle you from time to time, which was particularly disgusting.

The mid-range shot triggered the iron talent and missed. In turn, the Hawks Horford singled Hibbert and made a layup.

The two sides were tied again.

Xu Xiang came here today with a mission. Winning is a must. He really wants to know what kind of tricks the system can update, and he doesn't want his hard-working development progress to drop by 10 points.

Until the end of the first half, the Eagles failed to get rid of the Pacers' stalking, leading by only one point.

The heroes of the Pacers are obviously Xu Xiang and Paul George. Both of them scored in double figures, and Xu Xiang scored more than 20 points.

As soon as the second half came up, the opponent's touch began to decline. Korver failed to make three three-pointers, and Millsap also missed two three-pointers from the outside.

Under the leadership of Xu Xiang, the Pacers played a 12-2 climax and directly led by 9 points with a backhand.

The audience was in an uproar, the Pacers led by 9 points?
The fans of the Eagles couldn't believe this. Coach Budenholzer also called a timeout in time to arrange tactics. Among the 12 points just now, Xu Xiang scored 8 points alone!
This is the power of a super scorer!
Only halfway through the third quarter, Xu Xiang's score is almost 30!
No one doubts whether he will score 40 points in his first playoff game, as long as he wants to, he will definitely be able to!

"Will the Pacers win?" TNT's Barkley, who was explaining another game at this time, asked O'Neal next to him.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked again: "Who did you buy? I think I bought the Eagles to win 10-15, shit, can't it be bad?"

O'Neal glanced at him unmoved, and said:
"That's what a pig would buy, Charles, you're like a pig."

Barkley didn't bother to bicker with him at this time, and he didn't care to watch the game that was originally commented.He quickly dug out the voucher in his pocket, and sure enough, it was exactly as he said, the Eagles won 10-15.

He remembered correctly!

Only then did O'Neal see his urgency, and asked:
"How much did you buy? In such a hurry?"

Barkley glanced at him with a mournful face: "My monthly salary!"

O'Neal "???"

If you dare to buy such a big one, you deserve to die, you are really self-inflicted!
