Chapter 374 Beating the Wizards

After receiving these rewards, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry to draw prizes, but just went to the item store to buy a dozen large stamina recovery potions and two dozen small stamina recovery potions.Because these two things are the most commonly used things by Ye Xuan recently, basically as soon as the CD is good, Ye Xuan will use it, and now that it has entered the playoffs, it should be a common thing to fight to the death. Well, this kind of thing is definitely very useful at critical moments, and it is safe to buy a little more now to prepare for it.

Time soon came to April 4th, and the Pacers ushered in their first-round opponent of the playoffs, the Wizards, at their home court, Conseco Arena.At the start of the game, Hibbert and Gortat took off at the same time, but the Polish Hammer still failed to catch Hibbert. Hibbert took off vigorously and directly patted the ball to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan immediately accelerated to prepare for the Wizards The Wizards were a bit nervous in the face of the soaring Pacers team, but now they were attacked by Ye Xuan. Except for Wall who barely reacted, the other four did not react. As a result, Ye Xuan almost Wall, who stepped past Bill and the Brazilian Beast, and then leaned on to catch up to defend, was a layup. The basketball circled around the rim and then fell into the rim.

In just 4 seconds of the opening, the Pacers took advantage of Ye Xuan's surprise attack to fire the first shot of the series. Looking back, the Wizards played from the inside and let the Polish Hammers take the ball inside. Unfortunately, The current Hibbert is not in a bad state, so the Polish hammer does not have an advantage in physical confrontation. As a result, he forced it twice and failed to hit it. Then Gortat forcibly turned around and hit the iron with a hook, and the basketball was soaked. The peppers are in the bag.

By the way, it's worth mentioning that Ye Xuan's loyal henchman Solomon Hill was put on the bench again due to the return of Pickled Pepper. Originally, Coach Frank wanted Solomon Hill to start with Ye Xuan and others. But it is obviously a better choice to put Solomon Hill on the bench and let him lead the substitutes to play together. Moreover, although Solomon Hill came off the bench, his playing time has not been reduced much, and he still plays every game. With 28-30 minutes of playing time, this is equivalent to the treatment of a super sixth man at the level of Crawford or Lou Williams.

Contrary to Solomon Hill, although Shumpert appeared on the field as the starting shooting guard, his average playing time is not as good as Solomon Hill. Usually, after playing five or six minutes in the first quarter, Shumpert will Will be replaced by Solomon Hill.Of course, the variability of this lineup is very strong. For example, when facing a team with a strong backcourt, in order to contain the opponent's backcourt, the Pacers will start Solomon Hill against the Wizards led by the backcourt. It was like this when we were in the team.

Back in the game, after Paojiao grabbed the rebound, he immediately handed the ball to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan's speed is now very outstanding in the league. After receiving the ball, he immediately drove towards the opponent's half Ye Xuan's unreasonable fast-break style of play made the Wizards a little uncomfortable for a while. Although Wall and Porter did a good job of returning to defense, it still made Ye Xuan Found a chance to shoot in the middle of the double-team between the two, completed a 1-on-2 frontcourt, and scored two points.

Off the court, Wizards head coach Randy Whitman was also scratching his head anxiously, complaining loudly that the players on the court were not actively returning to defense, and at the same time wanted to ask the referee for an offensive foul from Ye Xuan, but the referee was too lazy For him, everyone is moving, even if there is physical contact, it should be a defensive foul, and Ye Xuan can't be blamed.

However, the Wizards reacted relatively quickly. They immediately used a pick-and-roll breakthrough to break the scoring shortage on the offensive end. Wall's pass after the breakthrough successfully helped Bill find an open space on the outside. Opportunity, Solomon Hill was blocked by the Brazilian Beast when he was chasing and defending Bill who was running without the ball, so he failed to defend the ball.

And looking back, the Pacers will have no chance to make a fast break and sneak attack, because the opponent's return speed has also increased, but the Pacers are not a team that relies on fast breaks. After the front court, the ball was passed to Paojiao, and then went directly to the low post to ask for the ball. One cut, plus Ye Xuan's inside back-hitting skills are indeed top-notch among defenders, so it's no surprise that Ye Xuan swung Wall again and scored two points.

Ye Xuan hit all three shots in the opening game. Ye Xuan felt very hot in this game. The situation on the Wizards side was completely opposite. Although Bill hit a three-pointer on the first shot, but in the next few rounds, the Wizards team Once again caught in the vicious circle of shooting irons, Wall first missed a throw after breaking through, and then Bill also missed two shots in a row. Ye Xuan, who came back to defend, slapped him out.

The Wizards' offense was stymied, but the Pacers' offense was buoyant. Not only was Ye Xuan hitting the Wizards with sudden shots all by himself, but also Solomon Hill's deadly three-pointer from the outside. Pickle also came to catch the ball from time to time to single-play Porter, and the insider Hibbert occasionally seized the opportunity to hit the opponent, so after 7-8 minutes in the first quarter, the game became one-sided. The tension and tight scores of the playoffs that everyone was expecting, tit-for-tat, did not appear in this game. The only thing that was there was a one-sided massacre.Because the Wizards scored only 8 points until 8 minutes, except for Bill's three-pointer, only Wall made a two-pointer, and the other three-pointers were free throws.

Speaking of free throws, the Wizards have already had 8 free throw opportunities and only made three of them. This is one of the reasons for their low morale, while the Pacers are full of firepower. In addition to Ye Xuan's 8 points and 12 assists, Solomon Hill also scored 3 points, and Paojiao scored 6 points. Adding Hibbert's 7 points, the Pacers have already scored 4 points. Before a quarter of the game was over, the Pacers led their opponents by 29 points 29:8. People can't help feeling the strength of the Pacers.
