Chapter 35
After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was relatively close. Ye Xuan played the entire first quarter, barely letting the Pacers trail behind by 24 points 27:3.But anyone with a discerning eye can see that with Ye Xuan's overdrawn style of play, after the second half, it will be difficult for him to have the physical strength to carry out an effective counterattack.

Speaking of which, the Grizzlies are actually a strong team. Last year, the Memphis Grizzlies ended the season with the best performance in their team history - 56 wins in the regular season and a record of advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

And this is only the first year of their new board of directors in charge of the team. Considering the management changes and the team's main scorer-Rudy Gay was traded in the middle of the season. This level of success for the Grizzlies this season is even more impressive.For the Grizzlies, being swept out of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs was a bittersweet end to a landmark season last year.

The team roster is still relatively stable, but the biggest change for the Grizzlies is that after Lionel Hollins was not renewed, their current head coach on the sideline has become Dave Jogel.

Ye Xuan also knew that if he kept playing, his physical strength would be a huge problem for him. Instead of playing inefficiently on the court, he might as well take a short break.So at the beginning of the second quarter, Ye Xuan decisively chose to rest. Scola and Copeland also played throughout the first quarter, so they were replaced together with Ye Xuan.

At this time, the Pacers, who lacked three main players, seemed to be at a loss in the selection of candidates. In desperation, they could only send a trio of drinking fountains - Solomon Hill, Donald - Sloan and Orlando Johnson.But the only good news is that the Pacers' previous games ended in three consecutive quarters, which made the three water dispenser administrators get a lot of playing time, so it's not completely powerless now.

It's a pity that although the idea is good, the three of them who rarely get the chance to play are still so vulnerable when facing the Grizzlies' main lineup. Although on the defensive end, the Grizzlies' shooting percentage has not been too high, but the offense On the other side, they were even more unbearable than on the other side.In just 4 minutes, Ye Xuan had to replace Orlando Johnson again.At this time, the score had reached 28:38. That's right, not only did the opponent score 4 points in 11 minutes, but he only scored 4 points.

Fortunately, after Ye Xuan came back, he immediately opened fire and hit two three-pointers in a row, forcing the opponent to replace Tony Allen in advance.The Grizzlies have the ball, Conley has the ball, and he's improved a lot after his successful season last year.Conley dribbled the ball and passed Ye Xuan flexibly with a fake move. Instead of going inside, he gave the ball to the 'Old Prince' Tayshaun-Prince.

Prince didn't take many shots today, but his hit rate was 3%, 3 of [-] from the field.The main reason is that facing a rookie like Solomon Hill, the seasoned Prince can easily run out of space. This time, Solomon Hill missed defense again. Lins scored again.

Ye Xuan had no choice but to remind Solomon Hill in a low voice, telling him not to be distracted, just follow the opponent and interfere.Ye Xuan controlled the ball. Facing Tony Allen's brown sugar defense, Ye Xuan tried his best to throw him away. After breaking into the penalty area, he scored a goal, and Solomon Hill from the bottom corner caught the ball and made a three-pointer , the excited Hill raised his finger and pointed to the sky, then pointed to Ye Xuan to express his gratitude.

In the next two rounds, Hill, who played confidently, also learned a lesson on the defensive end. Not only did he successfully prevent Prince's air cut, but when Costa Koufos grabbed the offensive rebound and was about to stand up for a dunk, He directly defended and dropped the basketball knife in Koufos's hand.With the performance of Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill, with 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the Pacers finally chased the score to 42:47.At this time, the two sides also replaced their main lineups, preparing to change the form of the field before the intermission.

After George Hill came back, in order to save energy, Ye Xuan still chose to hand the ball to Hill to handle.Hill also lived up to expectations. After breaking through and passing Conley with the ball, he made a successful throw.On the defensive end, Conley faced Ye Xuan, tried twice but failed to break through Ye Xuan, so he took a step back, controlled the ball with his right hand, and signaled his teammates to step forward to pick and roll with his left hand.

Ye Xuan had been waiting for an opportunity to move. When Kang Li was gesturing with his left hand, Ye Xuan jumped forward from the side, directly stabbed the ball, and then directly grabbed the ball to launch a fast attack. Kang Li reacted very quickly. , After seeing Ye Xuan stealing, he hurried back to chase, but unfortunately Ye Xuan was very fast, facing the unguarded basket, rushed to the free throw line, and then flew up with the ball in his right hand. The player scored two points.

Seeing that there was only one point difference left, the Grizzlies had no choice but to be patient and sacrificed their own 'black and white double evil'.Randolph wanted a position at the basket, and Gasol Jr. mentioned the high post as a support. Conley used Gasol Jr. as the axis, and used Scola and Jr. Gasol's body as a cover to throw off Ye Xuan's defense. Hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line and stabilized the ground for the Grizzlies.

Turning his head, Ye Xuan passed the ball to Copeland. When Copeland broke through to the inside, the ball was intercepted by Quincy Poundset.The moment the ball was broken, Tony Allen next to Ye Xuan started. Ye Xuan was stunned for half a second, and hurried forward to chase. Poundset pushed forward, and the ball fell directly on Tony. - Not far in front of Allen, Allen stretched out his hand, grabbed the basketball and made a three-step layup. The moment the ball was about to touch the backboard, Ye Xuan pressed the ball on the backboard with both hands like a divine soldier , Then he took off the basketball and threw a long throw to Hibbert who had not had time to return to the defense and fell in the opponent's half. Hibbert caught the ball and made a three-step dunk.

At this time, the head coach of the Grizzlies, Dave Jogel, quit. He firmly believed that it was an interference ball and grabbed the referee and refused to let go. In desperation, the referee had to watch the replay.The replay recorded everything clearly, good hat!

Ye Xuan celebrated with high-fives to Hibbert who ran back, and secretly felt that Sun Dasheng's chasing block was really good, and he deserved to be the one who overshadowed Howard in the Olympics.In the next few rounds, although the Grizzlies still wanted to attack the inside line, the inside line guarded by Hibbert was not so easy to capture. After several rounds of stalemate, the two teams ended the first half with 49:51 .
