Chapter 24 Lore and Anti-lore
The commentary stand was bustling with excitement, but the players on the field looked dignified, because everyone knew that the final battle had just begun.

In the last quarter, the Pacers served the ball. Hill faced Mills with a cross step, then pulled the ball to the left, avoided Mills' defense and broke into the inside line. Facing Dior who came to defend, he passed the ball calmly. It was given to David West, West caught and shot, scored two more points, and the point difference was narrowed to one point.The Spurs' one-vote substitute did not show weakness. Ginobili singled out Watson, first dribbled the ball behind his back to open a gap, and then faced Scola who was defending with a European step and made a layup.

The substitute lineups of the two sides played back and forth, and the game came to the last 8 minutes. After a dead ball, the coaches of both sides replaced all the main lineups by coincidence, preparing for the final decisive battle.In the first few minutes, due to the excellent performance of Manu Ginobili of the Spurs, the Spurs temporarily led by 74 points 70:4.

The Pacers served the ball from the sideline. After receiving the ball, Ye Xuan directly returned the ball and handed it to Paojiao. Came near the free throw line.Parker, who was following up, stepped forward to delay the breakthrough of Pickled Pepper, and did not follow Ye Xuan.Paojiao passed the ball to Ye Xuan with one hit. There was no defensive player around Ye Xuan. It was like a free throw, and the mid-range shot was easily hit.

After the Spurs settled down, they handed the ball to Duncan. Duncan shook Hibbert with his footsteps, causing a foul.One of two free throws.After the second free throw came out, Lance Stephenson grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it directly to Ye Xuan who was about to go down. Ye Xuan didn't want to waste this wonderful offensive opportunity. After receiving the ball, he took a look and retreated. Leonard, who was slightly inside, shot a cold arrow directly outside the three-point line, scored a three-pointer, and tied 75.

The fans in the Conseco Arena once again saw the hope of victory.But immediately Ginobili's three-pointer gave the Spurs a three-point lead again.At the critical moment, the 'demon sword' was unsheathed.A [-]-pointer from a defense that sticks close to Pickle Peppers hits the net hollow.

Ye Xuan shook his head, feeling powerless for a while.It is really a headache to play against an army-like team like the Spurs.But a headache doesn't mean you'll give up!Since you can score three points, so can I.As if to prove himself, in the next round, Ye Xuan hit a three-pointer next to Parker at almost the same position as Ginobili's ball, and almost the same action, tying the score again.

Although the two teams scored several three-pointers against each other, after the Spurs Leonard's missed shot and Ye Xuan's strike, the game seemed to return to the familiar rhythm from before, with sticky defense and close hand-to-hand combat.Although there were continuous cooperation between Paojiao and Ye Xuan, assisting each other to hit mid-range shots, but the Spurs players were very tenacious, and the score remained tight until the last minute and a half.The Pacers are temporarily behind by one point.

Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. Facing Tony Parker who was focused on defense, Ye Xuan suddenly made a mess, "Parker, did you know that your wife Eva is very beautiful." Ye Xuan had never spoken to him during the entire confrontation.Suddenly came such a sentence, and also mentioned his ex-wife.As a result, Ye Xuan took advantage of the moment when Parker was distracted, took a step back to open the distance with Parker, and hit a difficult three-pointer one step away from the three-point line. 87:89, the Pacers led by two points.

Lance on the side came over and gave Ye Xuan a high-five to celebrate, "Ye, you must have said something to Parker, right, you treacherous guy, but seeing this trick work on others, why do I have an indescribable pleasure. "

Parker on the other side was furious. The French sports car didn't think it was a fuel-efficient lamp. When was it cheated like this?After receiving the serve from the backcourt, he turned full steam ahead, vowing to avenge the blow that Ye Xuanhuang hit just now.Facing the smiling Ye Xuan, Parker leaned against Ye Xuan and was about to squeeze in, but Ye Xuan, taking advantage of Parker's anger, withdrew slightly from Parker who was leaning up, and Parker hit the air with all his strength , the person holding the ball turned his back on his back and fell forward.The referee didn't say much, and directly sentenced the walking violation.

Seeing this, Popovich directly called a timeout and forced Parker on the bench to teach him a lesson.With more than 40 seconds left in the game, the Pacers not only led by two points, but also had possession of the ball.Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to Paojiao. George suppressed the rhythm. He was going to run out of 24 seconds of attack time and score the ball, which would greatly increase the chance of winning.

With 8 seconds left on the offensive clock, George moved, a frontal cross step, and then pulled the ball to the side, shaking Leonard, leaning forward to find a foul, but George threw the ball, but The referee said nothing.Duncan got the backcourt rebound and quickly called a timeout.Paul George on the side was very annoyed, chasing the referee to ask for an explanation, Ye Xuan on the side hurried over and pulled him away, "Paul, calm down, we still lead by two points, if we are sentenced to a technical foul, our advantage will be gone. If there is something wrong, we can complain after the game is over."

On the Spurs bench, Popovich looked at Parker, "How are you? Are you sober? Look at you. I'm so ashamed of you for being pissed off by a rookie with a little trick." I promise not, at the last moment, let me play."

As for the Pacers, Ye Xuan was also discussing things with Frank, "Boss, I hope you don't call a timeout at the last moment." "Why? Ye, if we are scored by the opponent and there is still a little time, call a timeout." Shouldn't there be more opportunities to serve in the frontcourt?"

"Yes, according to your American way of thinking, everyone will think that we should pause, but if we don't pause, won't we catch the opponent by surprise? And we may not be able to prevent it? Trust me, boss, a game In the regular season, can we still afford to lose?" "Okay Ye, but you have to communicate with your teammates yourself."

After the Spurs served the ball in the frontcourt, Ginobili controlled the ball and waited for the fatal blow. In the last 8 seconds, he moved. First, he swung the pickled pepper away with a serpentine step, and then faced Ye Xuan who was defending. The ball was passed to Parker, and Parker hollowed into the net from outside the three-point line.Only 2.7 seconds were left for the Pacers.

The audience was dead silent, but the game was not over yet. Hibbert under the basket got instructions from Ye Xuan before going on the field. As soon as the ball hit the net, Hibbert immediately served the ball from the backcourt. Ye Xuan received the ball and buried his head forward. After a few steps, just after passing the halfway line, Ye Xuan picked up the ball and rushed forward in two big strides. Then came a horseman who shot an arrow, and the ball fell into the net.Before the Spurs came to celebrate, they found that their opponents had already started to celebrate.

Of course Popovich quit, and went to the technical table to find the referee's theory. After knowing that the Pacers didn't call a timeout, and Ye Xuan's entry was also effective, Popovich had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of failure .
