Chapter 312
Since the Spurs successfully reached the finals last season, they have not made any major changes this season. The staffing is still similar to last season, but because the GDP is one year older, so this season they The record is not as good as last season.The game started quickly, and Hibbert once again defeated Duncan, his old opponent in last year's Finals, on the jump ball.

After Ye Xuan received the ball, he began to slowly walk towards the opponent's half court. Leonard immediately posted up, ready to defend Ye Xuan closely. It is worth mentioning that now Leonard's various statistics have been Basically surpassing Duncan in an all-round way and becoming the most important person for the Spurs. This season, his scoring average has risen to 17 points per game, ranking first among the Spurs with relatively average offensive statistics.

Ye Xuan is no longer as passive in the face of Leonard as he was in the finals of last season. At least in terms of body, Ye Xuan is already much stronger. You must know that after Ye Xuan acquired a new physical talent , the fat content has dropped a lot, coupled with the subsequent weight gain, Ye Xuan has become a lot stronger than before, and his height is now the same as Leonard, although Leonard's wingspan It was still far beyond Ye Xuan's wingspan, but at least the gap was not as exaggerated as before, so Ye Xuan seemed much more comfortable when facing Leonard's defense.

But Leonard has not improved this season, so Ye Xuan still failed to hit the ball in the first round of attacking with the ball. This time, Ye Xuan is going to try it out in singles. In the end, when he forced a breakthrough, Ye Xuan found that he still had no way to completely get rid of Leonard, unless he called a pick-and-roll, otherwise he would still be interfered by his opponent. His first shot was to speed up the breakthrough. After thinking that Leonard had been thrown off, the opponent interfered from behind and almost made a three-point shot.

Looking back, the Spurs' offense is now shifting more to the outside, no longer relying on Duncan or Diaw on the inside like last season.In terms of defense, Ye Xuan still can't defend Leonard, because Leonard's physique is still stronger than Ye Xuan. Although Ye Xuan is also very strong, he is still an outside player after all, and Leonard He played small forward from the beginning, so naturally he has to be stronger. Fortunately, the Pacers still have Solomon Hill to do the dirty work.

However, in addition to the increase in offensive shots this season, Leonard has also begun to organize the team's offense. It can be seen that Mr. Zhugewei has also spent a lot of effort in cultivating Leonard. Now Leonard has gradually shown his leadership qualities.Under the defense of Solomon Hill, Leonard did not force a shot, but distributed the ball after a breakthrough, helping Danny Green from the outside to make a three-pointer from the outside.

After being taken first by the Spurs, Ye Xuan was very upset. He immediately controlled the basketball and rushed towards the opponent's half court. With the double screen of Shumpert and West, he successfully found a chance to make a shot. Ye Xuan He was also very decisive. After running out of the space from the outside line, he pulled it up directly and made a three-point shot. With his super high shooting percentage and the blessing of the scope, the basketball went straight into the basket, 3:3.

The two teams played so tit-for-tat at the beginning, and the Pacers fans on the scene were also very enjoyable to watch. Coupled with the exaggeration of the media before this game, it also made this game even more interesting.

The Spurs served from the backcourt. Parker slowly controlled the basketball and walked forward. Ye Xuan seized the opportunity that he was raising his hand to direct his teammates to run, and suddenly turned his head to stick to Parker. Parker was also taken aback. Jumping, there was a pause in the movement of the hand, and the ball was immediately stabbed by Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan saw that the basketball was about to go out of bounds, and immediately came flying to catch the ball. In the Spurs' half, Solomon Hill's reaction was very quick. He had already started preparing for a fast break when Ye Xuan made the attack, so besides Parker, Solomon Hill was the closest to the ball.

Moreover, after Parker was robbed, his first reaction was to go to Ye Xuan, so he wasted the time to chase the ball. In the end, Solomon Hill lived up to expectations and caught up with the basketball in two steps, and then easily made a one-armed dunk and took two This goal also increased Ye Xuan's assist count by one. The audience saw their team playing so hard at the beginning, of course they also responded with warm applause and cheers.

I have to say that the old man is really scheming, seeing that the atmosphere and momentum of the scene has completely turned towards the Pacers, so he doesn't care whether the game has just started for 1 minute or not, he directly called a timeout to adjust his disciples Their mentality, by the way, also let the momentum of the Pacers cool down.

After the timeout ended, the Spurs served from the sideline of the front court. After Parker received the ball, he immediately hit the ball to Leonard who was running without the ball and went straight to the inside. Solomon Hill's defense was blocked by Duncan during the serve. After getting down, Leonard was very calm after receiving the pass. Facing West's supplementary defense, he easily threw the ball with a small hook that turned around. The basketball spun around the basket twice, and finally Steadily fell into the basket.

In the next few rounds, it was basically a battle between the outside lines of the two teams. Ye Xuan's offensive performance was much better than when he met the Spurs last time. This was not only because of Ye Xuan's physical fitness. Apart from the promotion, the main reason is that their inside line is not at a disadvantage in the confrontation, so there is no need to assign manpower to relieve the pressure on the inside line.

The first quarter of the game was played until the commercial was suspended, and the scores of the two teams were still tightly biting together. At 15:14, the Spurs led by 1 point, but the Pacers had the ball.After returning from the timeout, Ye Xuan suddenly began to change his offensive strategy. Instead of attacking with the ball by himself, he gave the ball to Hibbert on the inside for singles. It is said that it was exploded by Duncan, but this game is different. Duncan is now 39 years old, and his physical fitness has regressed compared to last season, while Hibbert is just beginning to find the feeling. When preparing to show off, so Hibbert's first attack after receiving the ball went smoothly.
