Chapter 401 The comeback begins now!
After bidding farewell to Dayao, Xu Xuan devoted himself to intense training again.
Xu Xuan didn't pay attention to the following draft lottery. He only knew that the Philadelphia 76ers won the No. [-] pick, the Lakers won the No. [-] pick, and the Celtics won the No. [-] pick.
Since entering the reconstruction period, the 76ers have been trying to form a core lineup through the draft conference, but in the past few years, their record has been at the bottom of the league for a long time, but they have been unable to get the coveted No. 76 pick for a long time.In the regular season this season, the 10ers have a record of 72 wins and [-] losses, which is the bottom of the league.
This year, the 76ers finally got the No. 76 pick.It is worth mentioning that the last time the 1996ers got the No. [-] pick in history dates back to [-], when they chose Allen Iverson.
The Los Angeles Lakers took the No. [-] pick for the second straight year, having selected combo guard D'Angelo Russell from Ohio State last year.
The No. [-] pick for the Boston Celtics came from the Nets.
On May 5, the G21 battle between the Pacers and Cavaliers series finally began.
Returning to the home game this time is naturally a different feeling for the Pacers players.
The noisy yelling and cursing were gone, replaced by cheers and voices of support and cheer.
In the post-season playoffs, there is still a big difference between home games and away games. Otherwise, not so many teams will hit the rankings at the last moment, don't they just want to play home games one more time?
In this game amidst the MVP cheers all over the sky, Xu Xuan once again played the entire 48-minute game.
Now even the Cavaliers fans in front of the TV admire Xu Xuan a little.
This hanging man is really a mess.
To be able to play three games in a row is still in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Nima didn't even dare to think about it.
However, although Xu Xuan played the full 48 minutes of this game, the final winner is still the Cavaliers.
After losing the first game, the Cavaliers pulled back two games in a row, pushing the big score to a 2-1 lead!
The Cavaliers began to exert their strength.
这场比赛，老汉13投7中，罚球17中9，砍下23分、11助攻和11篮板的超级三双。
欧文22投12中，拿到26分、3助攻、4篮板。
Love scored 19 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds.
The Big Three combined scored 68 points, 17 assists, and 20 rebounds.
This data seems to have dropped compared to the last game, but it is even more intense than the previous game.
In this game, Xu Xuan scored 30+ points again, and his scoring ability still dominated the game, but the rest of the Pacers began to show different degrees of fatigue.
Those like Lavoy and Pickle are okay, but veterans like West and Hibbert have physical problems.
Especially Hibbert, he is likely to miss the next game, or even miss all the remaining games of the Pacers.
His tendons and ankles could no longer bear him running back and forth like this, and something would happen if he kept running.
As I said earlier, West and Hibbert's veterans with rich playoff experience are the most indispensable part of the Pacers' road to winning the championship, but something is wrong with the veterans now.
Things started to get difficult.
However, the Pacers fans were not disappointed. After the game, they were still very determined and fanatical to cheer for the team.
They were originally challengers, and the momentary lag behind now does not explain any problems.
And the Pacers fans were not happy either. Although it was 2 to 1, the kid on the opposite side called Xu Xuan still played the whole game. Played the whole game.
The Cavaliers won away, leading 2-1.
This makes the odds of the Pacers jump in all major markets.
No way, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Pacers really have no chance. The Cavaliers will definitely not give back this advantage foolishly. As long as they play steadily, the Pacers will have no chance at all.
the next day.
The third battle between the Warriors and the Thunder has also begun.
The Thunder also returned to the home court in this game, but the result was not the same as the Pacers.
Durant only played the first three quarters and scored 33 points and 8 rebounds. Westbrook didn't play in the fourth quarter and scored 30 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds. Even Robertson scored in double figures today.
All members of the Thunder turned into Thor, and they bombarded the Warriors with a sledgehammer.
The previous two games were tied 1-1, and the Warriors lost their home court advantage.Their goal is to win at least one of the two away games, but today they fell behind in the first half and completely collapsed in the third quarter, failing to complete the task.
首节还有8分35秒时，库里命中不讲理的三分，勇士以9-8超出，但这是他们全场最后一次领先。雷霆上半场44投23中，命中率超过50%，罚球25次得了23分，杜兰特贡献23分6个篮板，威少得了16分、7次助攻和6个篮板。
勇士55投仅19中，命中率只有34%，只罚球4次得3分。在篮板上，勇士以19-33处于劣势。
上半场落后了25分，是勇士自2014年4月22日以来最高，当时他们落后了快船26分（最终勇士输了40分）。
The Thunder played more and more smoothly, but the Warriors' defense began to collapse, and the gap between the two sides continued to widen in the third quarter.With 5 minutes and 07 seconds left in this section, Robertson received a pass from Westbrook and hit a three-pointer without defense. The Thunder led 95-59.
There is no suspense about the outcome, and the two sides let the main players rest in the last quarter.The Thunder finally lost their momentum in the first three quarters, their shooting percentage began to drop, and they didn't play aggressively enough. The Warriors' substitute players couldn't perform miracles, so they could only slightly narrow the gap.
In this game, Durair really played well, with 33 points in three quarters of the playoffs, which is already very scary.
Didn't you see that Xu Xuan played 48 minutes and only scored 30+? 60 points is also a rare one.
With the Thunder's win, the odds of the Cavaliers winning the championship are even lower.
There is no way, the Warriors lost these two games, it can only show that they are not stable, they are not as stable as the Cavaliers.
They may have an accident. Assuming that the Warriors really come back and reach the finals to meet the Cavaliers, everyone is now optimistic about the Cavaliers instead of the Warriors.
No matter how well you play in the regular season, you don't know how many people will stretch your hips in the playoffs.
And the odds of the Warriors winning the championship are decreasing, so the next game is very important for the Warriors!
If they lose the next game, they will face a 3-1 situation.
Of course, the same goes for the Pacers.
The two troubled brothers happened to have the same record, and those "ancient blows" and "mid-range blows" stood up again and criticized the three-pointers.
After all, the Pacers and Warriors are both famous for their three-pointers, and they are also the two most fierce three-pointers in the league.
But now there is a trend of stretching the hips, how could those ancient fans not seize this opportunity.
For a while, the saying that shooting three-pointers is mentally retarded and that only hand-to-hand combat is king is flying around.
Hand-to-hand combat is fine, at least Xu Xuan doesn't dislike this type of attack.
But in today's league, when it's time to get fouled, the bloody fighting scenes of the 90s can only be seen in WWE.
Soon, the time came to the day of the fourth game between the Pacers and the Cavaliers.
Looking from a distance, the whole body of the greenhouse-like circular building is shining like a super-power generator.
The arena is now full.
Before Xu Xuan's arrival, the attendance rate of the Bankers Life Arena was not very high.
But now, the attendance rate of almost every game is terrifying!
Fans know that this game is very important.
If the Pacers lose this game, they will be 3 to 1, and the probability of advancing is basically zero.
Want to comeback in a 3-1 situation?
The difficulty is too great.
Up to now, there have been a total of 9 teams in the NBA that have comeback from 3 to 1 in the playoffs.
分别是：1968年凯尔bai特人队、1970年湖人队、1979年华盛顿子弹队、1981年凯尔特人队、1995年火箭队、1997年热火队、2003年活塞队、2006年太阳队、2015年的马赛克。
Among them, the Celtics completed a comeback twice in a 3-1 desperate situation.
Or how can I say it is a wealthy family?
But the Pacers fans are also very sensible, they didn't make any noise, they just cheered the players when they entered the court.
They don't want to put pressure on the players. Pressure may breed motivation, but it will have a negative effect.
If you want to win this game, you must stabilize the morale of the army and let go of the fight.
"Hello, audience friends, here is the scene of the NBA 2015-2016 Eastern Conference Finals G4 live broadcast for you by the sports channel. The two sides are the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers are at home." Yu Jia went on to say: "Hi everyone, I'm Yu Jia. Today we invited Director Zhang to explain this very important game with me."
Zhang Lili also greeted the audience, and then nodded in agreement with Yu Jia: "This game is very important. It is very important to both sides. If the Pacers lose, the big score will be 3-1." Under the circumstances, it has basically gone far, and if the Cavaliers lose, the big score will become a 2-2 tie, then this round of the series is likely to be dragged to the tiebreaker, which is good for the Cavaliers Saying that is absolutely unacceptable, they definitely don't want to play a tie-break."
Yu Jia nodded, yes, how could the Cavaliers want to play tiebreaker?
They wish they could get rid of the Pacers in four games and prepare enough energy to prepare for the finals. Now that they spend a little more energy, they will lose a little energy in the finals. They will still settle this account clearly.
"So, this game will definitely be quite bloody! Please be prepared in advance, the intensity of this game may exceed our imagination!"
on site.
The starting lists of both sides were given on the big screen.
For the Pacers, Xu Xuan still appears in the starting list.
In addition, it is still their regular season lineup, CJ Miles, Paul George, PJ Tucker and JaVale McGee.
In fact, many people did not expect that Tucker and McGee could perform so well.
Leaving aside the performance during the regular season, the 11 games in the playoffs alone are amazing enough.
Tucker currently averages 37.4 minutes per game, 11.4 points per game, 1.7 assists, 7.5 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 1.7 steals, shooting 45.5% from the field and 45.6% from the three-point range. Xu Xuan is tall.
As the main force of the Pacers' defensive end, he also has a defensive efficiency close to 105, and he has never let the person who is facing him easily score any points in every game.
Although McGee's stats are not as good as Tucker's, he is very active at the basket and fights his opponents every day.
Such a player is easy to like even if you make a few mistakes.
There is no way, this kind of foolish player can conquer everything.
It's your fault, anyway, I can't understand it.
Under Xu Xuan's suggestion, Frank gave McGee a very simple tactic that could be done almost without thinking.
There is no best, only the most suitable.
As for the Cavaliers, the G4 series is still the lineup of the previous games.
The Big Three started with JR and TT.
They must maintain their athletic ability, or they will be run to death by the Pacers.
bang!
While the fans shouted cheers, McGee jumped up and dialed the basketball to get the first attack for the Pacers.
This was the third time that McGee beat the opponent with a jump ball. TT's nose was going to be crooked, but there was no way, McGee was too fierce, jumping like a monkey.
In the first attack, Xu Xuan was not in a hurry, and patiently moved the ball outside.
In the fourth game of the playoffs, the guys actually showed up, so let's see if you can hold on.
This attack was given to CJ Miles in the bottom corner, and he missed a three-pointer.
The rebound was protected by TT. The Cavaliers James took the lead and went straight in the middle. Owen had a chance from the outside and volleyed a three-pointer.
nor.
The two teams each started with a three-pointer.
The rebound was taken by Paojiao, and Xu Xuan motioned for him to advance by himself.
In the frontcourt, after a screen, Pickle directly passed the ball to McGee who was running down, and McGee pulled up and dunked directly.
This time the Cavaliers' defense was lax, or in other words, their energy was involved too much.
Xu Xuan without the ball is more difficult to defend than Xu Xuan with the ball. Just for a while, JR has already been thrown away by him twice. If the Cavaliers did not help in defense in time, Xu Xuan would have been able to get an open chance.
0 to 2, the Cavaliers attacked.
James made a feint in the frontcourt to open up space and went directly to the inside.
The ball broke through.
Love covered the flanks, TT blocked McGee, and seeing James hit the basket, Tucker stood up.
Facing James, pull up a hot pot hat!
James is capped!
Unstoppable cheers came from the scene.
Yu Jia also praised Tucker for his toughness in playing the ball. That was James who rushed over. Tucker just rushed up and missed the cap, which is not easy!
The role players of the Pacers are not favored by everyone. After all, Tucker and McGee are not well-known at this stage, and West and Hibbert are too old. In the eyes of outsiders, only George Hill and CJ Myers did not expect that McGee and Tucker would give them such a surprise.
