Chapter 345
The time soon came to February 2th. The Pacers went directly to Oklahoma to challenge the Thunder team led by the Shuangjun. The Thunder team is not in a particularly good situation. Card, now the inside can only be supported by Kanter and Adams. Their outside defensive player Robertson strained a muscle in yesterday's training. It is conservatively estimated that they will have to rest for about 25 days, which makes them full of injuries now.

Therefore, in this game, the Thunder also had to re-mentioned Waiters, who was originally traded as a sixth man, to the starting lineup to serve as the main shooting guard.However, no matter how you look at this lineup, it feels a bit awkward, because in addition to the double minors, Waiters is also a point with a strong desire to hold the ball, and Kanter is also strong offensively and weak defensively. I know if one ball is enough for the Thunder.

The game started soon. The bearded Australian center Adams beat Hibbert to give the ball to Westbrook. After receiving the ball, Westbrook immediately launched a sneak attack. Fortunately, Ye Xuan's reaction Very alert, he immediately blocked Westbrook's way. Unlike many previous fights, Ye Xuan didn't have much of a physical advantage when facing Westbrook, and he didn't know if the turtle was made of steel. Westbrook, who was nearly ten centimeters shorter than Ye Xuan in the hand-to-hand fight, didn't suffer at all.

In fact, when the two teams played against each other last season, Westbrook basically played against Ye Xuan. This season, Ye Xuan has improved so significantly, and he can only fight Westbrook 20-[-].After Westbrook was stopped by Ye Xuan, he was not in a hurry to play the ball. Instead, he slowly controlled the ball for half the court and then passed the basketball to Durant. After receiving the ball, Westbrook started to single-handedly hit Solomon- Hill, Hill is still very strong on the defensive end. He was able to defend Iguodala, Rudy Gay, and even troubled James. When Durant is [-] centimeters, Hill's defense is very difficult.

After a few strides past Solomon Hill, Durant scored two points with an emergency stop jumper, which gave the Thunder a good start.In the next few rounds, Ye Xuan had Westbrook fighting, so he couldn't get points efficiently. He could only rely on strong play to find opportunities, or pass the ball to open players on the outside.The Thunder, on the other hand, took aim at Solomon Hill, and used the Pacers' perimeter defender as a breakthrough. Durant's hand feeling was surprisingly good today. After 3 minutes, Durant Telian scored 11 points and directly beat the Pacers to an 11:4 start.

The Pacers soon discovered something was wrong, because last season, Durant was handed over to Pickle to deal with, so the Pacers didn't find it very difficult when they played, but now such a situation Look, Durant, who is unstoppable, is the most difficult person for the Thunder to deal with, so Coach Frank also immediately called a timeout to study countermeasures.After the game restarted, the person defending Durant became Ye Xuan directly. Ye Xuan's defensive skills are not inferior to Solomon Hill's, and his height has exceeded two meters after his so-called 'secondary growth' Now, at least he won't be eaten by opponents with his height like Solomon Hill.

And although Solomon Hill can't completely guard against Westbrook, at least it can bring him some trouble. This arrangement is already very targeted, but today's Shuangxiao doesn't know what's going on. , All of a sudden, he went crazy, with Westbrook, who was not sticking to the ball, and Durant, whose shooting percentage had already surpassed the sky, Ye Xuan suddenly felt that the game was a bit hanging.

However, Ye Xuan is not without a bit of counterattack ability, because Ibaka, the mainstay of the opponent's lineup, is injured, and Kanter's defense is surprisingly bad, so the Pacers directly began to use pick-and-rolls to attack the opponent's inside. , This effect is not bad. With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Ye Xuan has won 8 free throws, and Kanter, who is inexperienced, has already committed 3 fouls.But Scott Brooks still doesn't seem to be planning to replace Kanter, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

Although Ye Xuan's plan from the inside was implemented very smoothly, the opponent's high fort was not affected in the slightest. Under Durant's indiscriminate bombardment, the Pacers are now 12 behind. The points were scored, Durant relied on his super high shooting percentage, and although Ye Xuan interfered later, he still scored 23 points. Durant passed the ball and got 4 assists.

The Pacers were also a bit unable to withstand the fierce artillery fire from their opponents, so they decisively changed their formation again, replacing Shumpert, who was useless, and who was replaced with him, and his performance Still poor West.This time, coach Frank didn't know what he was thinking, and replaced O'Neal, who had almost no chance to play, and then replaced the chaotic pioneer CJ-Watson.

Not to mention, although Jermaine O'Neal has been out of the battlefield for a long time, he still has a set of tricks to cheat fouls. Adams also successfully backed two fouls in 3 minutes of playing, and the most important thing is that he also created Westbrook. Offensive fouls have caused Westbrook to commit two fouls now. Although there is not much time left in the first quarter, it will not have much impact, but this also leaves some for the Pacers to play in the next quarter. space to operate.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides unanimously chose to use substitute players. The strength of the Pacers' substitutes is obviously stronger than that of the Thunder, although the opponent originally had two outstanding offensive abilities, Waiters and Kanter. Substitutes, but because of injuries, both of them were mentioned as starters, which also gave the Pacers a chance. JR-Smith and CJ-Watson led a group of substitutes to grab points on the field. In just 3 minutes, the Thunder team was forced to call a timeout, because they directly reduced the 13-point difference to 5 points. This is also the first time Ye Xuan felt the strength of the team. Ah, in the past, teammates dug holes and let Ye Xuan fill them in. Now this meeting finally enjoys the treatment of a wave of teammates filling holes.
