Chapter 357

Although the Celtics' formation changes are very rich, and their rotation actually adopts a 10-man rotation, which is something most teams dare not do. For example, the Pacers, now they only have a 9-man rotation. The Rockets have a very strict 8-man rotation system. Only the talented Warriors and the Spurs, who are all soldiers, are eligible for a 10-man rotation. So although the Celtics have a lot of players available, But most of them are potential rookies who need to be cultivated, such as Zeller and Claude.So when they rotated their personnel, the mature substitutes on the Pacers' side began to show off.

Ye Xuan brought a group of substitutes on the field like chopping melons and cutting vegetables. He beat the Celtics to the point of failure. Although Claude's defensive ability is not bad, Ye Xuan's The high mobility still leaves Claude with little opportunity to play the melee combat that he is good at.In just 4 minutes, the Pacers had only led by 2 points, but they led by double digits in an instant.

Brad Stevens is also a bit regretful now. Now the team is in the sprint stage of competing for a place in the playoffs. If he loses because of his substitution strategy, it will definitely make the Celtics lose. Higher-ups are unacceptable.But now it is too late to regret changing to the main force again.After being controlled by the Pacers, the rhythm has basically gone far.

The Pacers now have a statistic that is leading the league, that is, when they have a lead of more than 15 points, the number of times they are overturned is 0, and the number of times they are overturned by more than 10 points is only 1 time. .It can be said that the Pacers are the best team in the league to keep the advantage in their hands.You must know that this season the Spurs, Clippers, Rockets, Warriors, and Cavaliers all had a 15-point lead overturned, especially the Spurs and Cavaliers, who were all overturned by the Pacers.

So when the Pacers have a lead of more than 10 points, their operations will make their lead bigger and bigger. Even if the opponent chases back desperately, the Pacers can also play well on the defensive end. Contain the opponent, so as to slowly eat away the opponent.

After the first quarter, the Pacers led by 11 points and entered the second quarter. Although Ye Xuan was resting off the court, the Pacers led by Solomon Hill and Hibbert. Facing the opponent's main lineup, they were still not at a disadvantage. Although the firepower on the offensive end was affected, they also made it difficult for the opponent's offense on the defensive end. Until Ye Xuan took a 4-minute break to play, the Pacers were still in a hurry. Hold a 9-point lead.

With Ye Xuan on the court, the Pacers regained their footing, and it became more difficult for the Celtics to chase points. Moreover, after the Celtics' three axes were thrown, they also began to be a little weak. , the offensive efficiency also began to decline. By the end of the second quarter, they not only failed to narrow the point difference, but also fell behind by 15 points because of Ye Xuan's sudden chill and two ultra-long three-pointers. Points ended the first half.

During the intermission, compared with the Pacers side, the Celtics' locker room looked more dignified. Although they were not favored in this game, at the beginning of the first half, they and the Pacers The team played a 10-[-] split, which allowed them to see the hope of defeating the opponent for a while, but due to a problem with personnel scheduling, the substitute player was rubbed on the ground by the opponent, and suddenly fell behind With more than [-] points, it is already very difficult to go back and chase points later.

At the beginning of the second half, the Pacers also gave some chances, because Frank Vogel was obviously a bit overwhelmed. In the opening 4 minutes of the second half, after Ye Xuan successfully collected 10 assists, he sent Ye Xuan He and Hibbert and Solomon Hill were replaced by the three absolute main players. He felt that the 16-point lead was enough to fight, and he felt that the opponent should have no ability to fight back. After Ye Xuan was off the field, Thomas Jr. and Bush Radley suddenly exploded, beating the Pacers 3-8 in 0 minutes, directly reducing the point difference to single digits.

Only then did Coach Frank react, and then replaced Ye Xuan and others to rescue the field. Fortunately, Ye Xuan and the others were full of energy after being trimmed. , or quickly lost. After a stalemate of about 10 points for nearly 6 minutes, in the 3rd minute of the fourth quarter, the deadlock was finally broken. The opponent's offensive rhythm was broken. From this node, the opponent gave up resistance in an instant like a deflated ball. After a few more rounds, the lead of the Pacers returned to 15. Points or more, it was Coach Frank who replaced Ye Xuan and the others again.

At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Celtics at home. The Celtics played very well today. Thomas Jr., who started the game, scored 29 points and 6 assists And Bradley, his partner, also sent out 19 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds. Unfortunately, everything was in vain, because the data of the substitutes is indeed a bit bad, and the total score of all substitutes is only 19 points. , This is also the key reason for the Celtics' loss.

In this game, Ye Xuan finally let the league see his efficiency once again. After playing 31 minutes, Ye Xuan easily scored 41 points and 12 assists, directly blowing out the opponent's defense. He failed to win the steal in the hands of 175, but he still got 2 steals and 2 blocks in the double-team and supplementary defense, and his contribution on the defensive end was also very good.

The Pacers finally breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't play very happily this month. After being pecked twice by the Bulls and Bucks in a row, their third position in the Eastern Conference is a bit precarious. Now this This victory finally allowed them to breathe a little bit of relief, but their subsequent games began to become more difficult. First of all, their next opponent is the fifth-ranked Raptors in the Eastern Conference, and then they will face the Bulls again. , Cavaliers.These three games are all contests between the top 5 teams in the East, which is a big test for the Pacers.
