With 6 points returned and 7 minutes left in the game, both sides replaced their main lineups at the same time.

After resting for a while, Ye Xuan, who came back on the court, immediately started to show off his power. Using Brooks' breakthrough and the speed of the small French sports car, he made consecutive quick changes to pass Westbrook and hit a throw.

After Ye Xuan came to the frontcourt again, Westbrook, who was defending him, said, "Ye, where's your courage? Come and challenge me one-on-one! Don't do any more pick-and-rolls!" Ye Xuan heard Westbrook's provocation and couldn't help it. Moved, he still found Lance, and made a long-range two-pointer from the open space obtained after passing the screen.

After the ball was thrown in, Ye Xuan backed up and stared at Westbrook who was slowly advancing after receiving the backcourt serve and said, "Russell, look, this is the difference between me and you. I was thinking about how to single out, and I was thinking about how to win."

After Hibbert's six fouls, the Pacers simply did not switch to the center, but sent Hill, who had a certain three-point shooting ability. At this time, David West took the center position, and Lan Si is a power forward, and the small forward is Pickled Pepper.

This lineup doesn't seem to protect the inside very well, but the advantage is that everyone can pull out and shoot.After Durant made two free throws, Hill quickly advanced to the frontcourt, hoping to catch his opponent by surprise, but the Thunder were not fools, they had already settled down early in the morning, and in desperation, they could only hand the basketball to Ye Xuan Get organized.

After Ye Xuan received the ball, he was also unambiguous, and directly used a crotch to change hands before catching the body, swayed to open the gap, and then made a gesture to rush in.

Westbrook faced West, who was defending him, backed back outside the three-point line, and lightly passed the ball. The light lift was given to Ibaka who was blocking Ye Xuan inside. Facing Ibaka's strong inside, Ye Xuan had no good way to do it. He simply pulled him down when the opponent just turned around and was equipped to shoot.

After the foul, Ye Xuan helplessly raised his hand, signaling to the referee that he had committed a foul.Ibaka came to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and then hit the first free throw. Ye Xuan watched nervously, and then Ibaka and his teammates clapped hands one by one, and quickly made the second free throw. , Ye Xuan waved his hand helplessly, and called a timeout again.Coach Frank quickly replaced Mahinmi again, dispatched the shooting lineup just now, and after arranging the tactics, everyone was ready to play again.
