Chapter 369: Reversal and 5 consecutive victories!

February 28, Indianapolis, Bankers Life Arena.
The Pacers will host the Portland Trail Blazers tonight.
It can be seen from the warm-up before the game that the two teams smelled of gunpowder today.
"CJ, give me the score later." The young man named Lillard said while looking at CJ McCollum.
"No problem." McCollum nodded.
He is aware of the grievances between Xu Xuan and Lillard, "You help me get stuck, and I will pass you crazy passes."
Both are young men, but McCollum's ambitions are not big, and he is already very satisfied as a second-hand.
The Banker's Life Arena, the Blazers and Pacers game is about to start.
The starters of the two teams were shown on the big screen.
Pacers: Xu Xuan, CJ Miles, Paul George, PJ Tucker, JaVale McGee
Trailblazers: Lillard, CJ McCollum, Aminu, Feng Lai, Plumlee.
McGee and Plumley jumped to the center circle.
Plumlee is also a young insider that Xu Xuan admires. With a height of 208, he can manage both center and power forwards.
Amid the cheers of the fans, the referee threw the ball into the air.
Unfortunately for this ball, McGee still took advantage of his height and bounce to get the ball down.
The Pacers got the first attack.
...
Lillard broke out tonight!
As for the reason?
Lillard is not really that superficial, the reason for his outbreak is simple, because he really thinks he is better than Xu Xuan.
At the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic about this Trailblazer, but he abruptly led the team to this day.
But Lillard felt that the slap was not loud enough!
Defeating Xu Xuan and defeating the Pacers will make this slap even louder!
He wants to tell people that he is better than Xu Xuan.
This guy stole all the limelight time and time again, and people seemed to have forgotten his super guard, and all the focus went to Xu Xuan.
As early as after watching the Pacers and Trail Blazers schedule, Lillardt decided to make crazy shots to prove his scoring ability in this second game.
In this game, the Blazers team is feeding him the ball.
Starting from McCollum, all the Trail Blazers were crazy passing, pick-and-rolls, screens to Lillard...
After the first quarter, Lillard had already scored 14 points.
After the second quarter, Lillard scored 24 points.
After the third quarter, Lillard has scored 38 points!
Tonight's Lillard really wants to hit the 50-point mark at the Bankers Life Arena!
"The Pacers are in trouble." At the end of the third quarter, Barkley looked very solemn.
As a "Xuan Chuan", he certainly does not want to see Xu Xuan lose to Lillard. Both of them are future fighters in people's eyes. Xu Xuan's brilliant performance this season actually made him suppress him. The prestige that Lillard should have gained during this period.
But after three quarters, the score was 90 to 78, and the Pacers were already 12 points behind.
"The Blazers did come prepared, it seems that the Pacers want to get their five-game winning streak is not easy." Kenny Smith shook his head, said regretfully.
Lillard is not a rookie, let alone a leader like Kemba Walker.
Lillard is the representative of the iron-blooded hardliners. He believes that one punch can't kill you. I will only punch you with two punches and three punches... until I kill you!
Lillard will never give the Pacers any chance of breathing.
"The five-game winning streak should be invisible, it's a pity" Kenny Smith shook his head and looked at Barkley next to him: "Charles, do you think the Pacers have any hope?"
Barkley gave him a blank look, and before he could speak, Kenny Smith interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, don't say anything, I know what you are going to say..."
Buckley: "..."
...
On the court, on the Pacers' side, Hill encountered Lillard's tight defense as soon as he dribbled through the half court.
"Damn it, this guy is really dead." Hill guarded the basketball and watched the running of his teammates, but once the situation on the court reached such a deadlock, Hill didn't know who to pass the ball to.
With 15 seconds left in the offensive time, Xu Xuan mentioned beyond the three-point line and Hill hurriedly handed over the ball. At this time, he saw Xu Xuanbi's tactical gestures.
Yaosi pulled away.
Classic tactics on the basketball court.
Lillard did not come to defend Xu Xuan. The Blazers defended Xu Xuan by CJ McCollum, who was both their second head and the defensive leader on the outside.
咚, 咚, 咚.
coming!
McCollum opened his arms. "Left hand?"
Seeing Xu Xuan taking a big step towards his right hand, McCollumka hurriedly moved diagonally to the right side of his body.
"No!" McCollum slammed the brakes to stop his steps, because Xu Xuan had just started and at the same time he pulled the basketball back to his right hand by dribbling the ball. Is this a retreat?
McCollum adjusted his focus forward and it was impossible for Xu Xuan to take a shot, but he thought he could interfere with Xu Xuan's shot.
But at this moment--
Xu Xuan's right hand suddenly changed direction inward and outward, and at the same time his hind foot quickly kicked the ground. Amidst McCollum's astonishment, Xu Xuan broke into the interior and rose into the air. The first offense in the fourth quarter!
Beautiful dunk!
The banker's life arena, cheers everywhere.
90 to 80, the Pacers are 10 points behind.
Lillard is not a tolerant master, the Trail Blazers offensively.
Facing George Hill's defense, a jumper shot in place
This action is like the lore in the face of pickled pepper in the previous life.
Stretch and be full of confidence!
Huh--
The point difference is back to 13 points!
The 41st point!
see it? What Xu Xuan can do, I can do it, and I score more points than him, but why, why do people just ignore me?
Lillard couldn't figure it out, and here, Pacers' attack came.
On the court, pickled pepper came out from the bottom line to catch the ball.
Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts stared. He had already let the players pay attention to the Pacers’ bullhorn pick-and-roll tactics. This kind of ball-free pick-and-roll and running, just pay attention to what can be done. Big trouble?
Anyway, you will end it for Xu Xuan in the end, right?
Seeing Xu Xuan, who was about to run to the weak side, Terry nodded in satisfaction. He had already explained that no matter who played the pick and roll with Xu Xuanyi, just switch defenses. It doesn't matter if you can't prevent it, just consume him.
Could Xu Xuan kill me by himself?
However, on the field, when Xu Xuan was halfway running, he suddenly ran back spiritually. Hill, who was waiting for the ball on the bottom line, got out in time, and Lillard, who was marking Hill, was killed by Xu Xuan. Blocked behind.
"Not good!"
Looking at the figure wearing the No. 23 jersey in front of him, Lillard's heart instinctively felt a little bad.
"This ball Xu Xuan is not the end point!"
But it was too late, and Hill took off calmly!
A mid-range hit the basket!
93 to 82.
"Don't worry!"
With an 11-point difference, Lillard doesn't feel too anxious yet.
The Blazers' offense, Lillard failed this time, the basketball knocked out and the Pacers protected the rebound.
Hill advances with the ball.
"Huh? Xu Xuan seems to be playing off the ball."
It's almost the same routine again.
This time Lillard followed George Hill, but Xu Xuan suddenly followed, a false cast was passed to the other side of pickled pepper
Pickled pepper dunks successfully.
93 to 84!
The score difference is reduced to less than 10 points!
Terry on the sidelines hesitated for a while, and just wanted to call a timeout, he was stopped by Lillard on the court.
time out?
No need to pause!
Singles from Lillard
This time it was pickled peppers.
Lillard is still confident singles.
But pickled peppers are not George Hill, and the current pickled peppers are not the pickled peppers of later generations, and the current Lillard is not the later generation of Lillard!
Lillard hasn't reached the peak yet.
Snapped--!
A clean block!
Lillard was dumbfounded.
He was so confident about this ball, but this shot came so suddenly!
He was dumbfounded, but Pickled Pepper was not dumbfounded. After covering the ball like a rabbit, he quickly threw the ball to Xu Xuan.
In the frontcourt, a three-pointer from Xu Xuan's chase
The shells are loaded, request to be launched!
quasi!
The moment Xu Xuan took the shot, CJ McCollum wanted to pounce, but the angle of Xu Xuan's shot was wonderful!
Fall back jumper!
Huh!
The whistle in the ball!
Xu Xuan gets a chance to "+1"!
McCollum still confiscated it.
The first ball was the main pick-and-roll, the second ball was passed in seconds, and the third ball, McCollum was not sure how Xu Xuan would play, and he was upset.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Xu Xuan steadily took the ball in!
93 to 88!
Only 5 points left!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Xu Xuan led the Pacers to chase the score back!
"Terry should have called a timeout," Kenny Smith said.
O'Neill vomited: "In fact, he should have called a timeout..."
Isn't letting the Pacers score like this?
It makes no sense to find yourself uncomfortable.
However, what made them even more stunned was that Xu Xuan made a four-point success this time, and the Blazers still didn't mean to call a timeout.
"I rub! Is Coach Terry crazy? Isn't he called a timeout? Does he have to wait until the Pacers catch up with all the points to be satisfied?"
"No, I seem to see Damian waving to Terry. Damian doesn't think there is a need to pause now."
For people like Lillard, it is better to let him surrender to the timeout now. His arrogance will never allow him to leave the field first!
"Lillard's strong fight! He still chooses to believe in himself at the critical moment!"
Believe in yourself, this has both advantages and disadvantages.
Appropriate self-confidence can improve the state, but excessive self-confidence is not called self-confidence, it is called conceit!
The conceited Lillard once again chose to play hard, he was very obsessed with his personal strength.
"Look, this muscular posture-Lillard's jumper is really wonderful!"
What’s different from just now is that Lillard didn’t even ask for a pick-and-roll for this ball, just such a dry jumper—
Huh!
Yes!
Defensively, Lillard has made it!
"Oh! Beautiful! Beautiful three-pointer!"
The Blazers bench boiled instantly, and Ed Davis and Alan Crabbe waved towels frantically.
The Blazers' morale boosted instantly!
I have to say that Lillard’s choice just now is correct. If he listened to Coach Terry just now and agreed to a timeout, perhaps the Pacers’ offensive rhythm would be cut off, but the Blazers’ morale would definitely not be what it is now. such.
The choice just now was a double-edged sword. Fortunately, Lillard won.
96 to 88, 8 points difference!
Whether it is to expand the advantage or reduce the score, the three-pointer is too strong. It is another world in the blink of an eye.
frontcourt.
Lillard's goal did not make Xu Xuan too nervous.
This ball of white chocolate has a passing talent to show off.
Xu Xuan made a fake vote and gave the ball directly to the picky pepper who followed up and scored a dunk!
96 to 90!
The Pacers' scoring has never stopped.
Turning his head, after Lillard scored a layup and scored a layup, Xu Xuan passed pickled peppers in seconds and scored from the outside!
Got.
The comparison is out.
The Pacers' offense is efficient and stable under Xu Xuan's combing, while the Blazers have been scoring consistently, but Lillard is all alone.
"It's a bit like Xu Xuan in last season's playoffs, and a comparison between Xu Xuan now, Lillard is still too young."
Indeed, Xu Xuan who regarded Lillard as last season's playoffs is simply too imagery.
Last season, Xu Xuan also kept scoring, scoring, or scoring... the other four teammates seemed to be pendants.
But this season is different.
This season's Xu Xuan's improvement in combing offense is visible to the naked eye.
Lillard is like a child who has not grown up in front of him...
...
On the field, after the two sides were deadlocked for most of the quarter, Lillard was finally replaced by Coach Terry in despair.
The score was evened.
Not only was equalized, but also overtaken.
The Pacers are really too efficient in this section, and he was not too efficient at the beginning, but the more he hits the back, the more confused he feels, the worse he feels... In the end he can only watch Xu Xuanhe. The Pacers reversed the game step by step.
104 to 108, the Pacers won with 12 points!
Coach Terry was a little sad. He didn't blame Lillard. Lillard performed well in this game. He created a career-high 51 points and a single-game scoring record.
At the critical moment, he did not hesitate to stand up to help the team restore morale~EbookFREE.me~ but this has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
When embracing Frank Vogel, Terry said with some envy: "You have to keep a close eye on your talents. I have heard that many people want to get him away this summer."
Terry could only envy him, because no matter who took Xu Xuan away, neither he nor the Blazers had this chance.
The Blazers management would not choose to abandon Lillard and train Xu Xuan again. That cost too much.
Frank's heart tightened by Terry's words.
He also heard that, not only that, but he also knew that Pritchard's intention to renew the contract in advance was denied by Xu Xuan, which means that Xu Xuan does have other ideas...
However, he did not show it, but said with a smile: "Damian, this young man is not bad too, he almost matches Xu Xuan..."
Terry's face stiffened, this old thing...
