Chapter 253 Victory over the Blazers Again

On December 12th, the Pacers ushered in the Portland Trail Blazers, who had already been defeated once by themselves, at their home court. The team beat the enemy.Moreover, the Pacers fought back-to-back in this game. Ye Xuan played for 14 minutes in the game the day before, which also gave the Trail Blazers another chance to try consumption tactics.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers learned from the experience of the previous game and directly asked Hibbert to defend Aldridge. Moreover, Coach Frank did not continue to use West as the main power forward, but let Mahinmi Come to serve as the starting power forward, so that Mahinmi will not suffer particularly when facing Robin Lopez when grabbing rebounds.

The Trail Blazers obviously also summed up the experience and lessons of the previous game, so Batum was asked to defend Ye Xuan from the beginning of this game. It can effectively curb Ye Xuan's performance, thereby further consuming Ye Xuan's physical strength.

It's a pity that although they planned very well, they made troubles in actual combat. It's not that their tactics have not been used, but because their efficiency on the offensive end is too low.When the first quarter lasted 4 minutes, although the Pacers only scored 8 points due to various reasons, the Trail Blazers were even worse, because apart from Lillard's throw after the opening Except for the shot, there was no more point in the account. Robin Lopez also won two free throw opportunities in the middle. He thought he could break the team's scoring drought. As a result, the basket seemed to be covered with a The cover is the same, no matter how you shoot, you can't make a shot, and the chances of these two free throws are finally hit.

Since the shooting percentages of the two teams are not particularly high, the atmosphere on the scene is not very good, but this is good news for the Pacers, because their game is a back-to-back game, and they finally won the last game After the Raptors, the players of the Pacers have not fully recovered, so the Pacers justifiably suppressed the rhythm of the game when the shooting percentage was not very high. Not only did the number of rounds in the game become less, but also the kind of fast attack and retreat that consumed energy was gone, which allowed Ye Xuan to save a lot of energy.

However, the bad hand feeling is temporary after all. When the first quarter was about 9 minutes into the game, the hand feeling of the two teams began to pick up gradually. In the first 9 minutes, the two teams combined only scored 22 points. In the next 3 minutes, the two teams scored 22 points in total. At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers regained their touch faster than their opponents and temporarily led their opponents by 27 points 17:10. .

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers changed their lineup, allowing West and Scola to cooperate with each other inside, and then gave CJ-Watson, JR-Smith and Ronnie Star The three of them create opportunities to attack with the ball. Since Scola and West both have the ability to open up space, the five players on the Pacers side are all floating on the outside. The inflexible substitute inside caused some troubles. The Pacers also took advantage of this opportunity to widen the point difference between the two teams to 14 points. With a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, the Pacers may directly open the score completely.

But even so, the Trail Blazers had to call a timeout, and then replaced Lillard in advance, hoping that he would bring the substitutes to recover the disadvantage.It's a pity that I don't know whether Lillard was psychologically shadowed by Ye Xuan or whether he was in a bad state today. After playing, Lillard not only failed to help the Trail Blazers stabilize their position, but also missed consecutive shots. 5 of 1 shots directly wasted a lot of shots from the Trail Blazers. If it wasn't for Chris Kaman, a former All-Star center who grabbed two frontcourts inside, the Trail Blazers would not be able to do well in this game. Just explain it here.

The game was going on like this, and Ye Xuan was happy to rest off the court. After all, if the opponent didn't close the point difference against his team's substitutes, then he didn't have to play. He had played so many hard games before. Ye Xuan would be very happy if he could lie down and win this match.But Terry Stotts obviously wouldn't just sit and wait, he immediately called a timeout, and then replaced Aldridge and Wesley Matthews, who had been resting for a while.

Coach Frank saw that the opponent applied for a timeout again, so he didn't dare to push it too hard, so he directly replaced several main players except Ye Xuan. At this time, the field became Hibbert Garwest Against Aldridge plus Chris Kaman, Stuckey, Solomon Hill and JR Smith against Lillard, Wesley Matthews and McCollum.

Ye Xuan basically watched the whole game like this in the second quarter, and only came out to play for 3 minutes in the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, because in this game, Heber, who had been silent for several games, Te suddenly showed his power. Not only did he defend Aldridge to only 8 points in the two quarters, but he also succeeded in many backs on the offensive end.

At the end of the first two quarters, the Pacers still maintained a 15-point lead into the second half. Ye Xuan played a total of 15 minutes in the first half. It seemed that the time was not particularly short, but Ye Xuan played in the first quarter. Under the premise that the game is full, the second quarter only needs to be played for 3 minutes, which is also unexpected by the opponent.And in this way, the Trail Blazers' tactic of dragging Ye Xuan down failed again. In the third quarter, the Pacers continued their efforts and directly used a wave of 13:4 spurts to take away the opponent.

After playing 4 minutes in the third quarter, Ye Xuan also directly raised his exemption card and clocked in to get off work.Because at this time the Trail Blazers have replaced all the main players, obviously not ready to struggle.In fact, even if they want to struggle, judging from their hit rate today, they really have no chance. Their hit rate fell below 30% at one point, and it didn't pick up slightly until after entering the garbage time , but the whole game is still only 35%.
