NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 224 Lost!

Chapter 224 Lost!

As soon as the third quarter came up, Wall continued to break through and cause damage. Coach Nate had no choice but to call a timeout and replace George Hill.

Paul George was also brought in. Coach Nate had a good idea. Now that the Pacers are behind, put Paul George and Xu Xiang on the field together. No matter what you say, you have to suppress their momentum.

As soon as Paul George came up, it worked. Xu Xiang attracted attention from the outside, Paul George cut to the inside, Xu Xiang made a small lob, and the ball came to Paul George's hands. With a bang, the layup was successful.

Paul George gave Xu Xiang a high-five while retreating. Now the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better. Coach Nate in the audience also looks at the two with a look of relief. This is the future hope of the Pacers.

The game continued. After George Hill came up, Wall shot a lot less from outside. Hill's defense was much better than Sloan's, but he still couldn't prevent his breakthrough.

After Bill came up, he also felt overwhelming, scored two three-pointers in a row, and caused a foul by Xu Xiang outside the three-point line, and made three free throws.

Xu Xiang took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Paul George at the top of the arc. George faced Paul Pierce outside the three-point line, hesitated and didn't shoot, and then passed it back to Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang made a breakthrough and handed the ball to West on the inside.

The offense was played very smoothly.

The Wizards Wall organized the outside line, and Bill used the cover to run back and forth. Wall accelerated and broke through to the basket, but he did not attack. It was given to Bill at the bottom corner of the outside line. Bill took a three-pointer when he picked it up.

The touch exploded and made a three-pointer.

The Pacers have fallen behind by almost 11 points so far, and the point difference broke through double digits for the first time.

Throughout the third quarter, the Pacers counterattacked with common sense, but they still lost in the face of the opposite BUG-like shooting. At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers were already behind by 15 points.

The Pacers were frustrated, but there was one group of people who were happy: the Brooklyn Nets.

Now they are watching the game collectively, just like the Pacers before, and every time the Wizards' offense is successful, they will cheer.

If the Pacers lose this time, they will stand on the same starting line again, and their advantage is still very large. After all, one opponent is the Magic and the other is the Grizzlies.

Xu Xiang was squatting on the bench panting heavily. In the third quarter just now, he and Paul George were trying their best to catch up, but the point difference still widened step by step.

The fourth quarter was not good, and a bad thought came to Xu Xiang's mind. If Bill and Wall could not be restrained in the fourth quarter, the Pacers would lose today with a high probability.

And once they lose today, the Pacers will be at a disadvantage until tomorrow's game.

Coach Nate's face is also serious now. The situation so far has exceeded his expectations. He originally expected to win the Wizards today. If he wins tomorrow, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. But if he loses today, tomorrow's game will be difficult.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Xu Xiang made two consecutive mid-range shots. Because the point difference is a disadvantage now, Xu Xiang didn't dare to rest. He could only lead a group of main players on the court to chase points.

After finally catching up to 10 points left in the point difference, Bill on the opposite side made another three-pointer as soon as he came up, pulling the point difference to 13 points again.

Paul George's playing time has come today, but seeing the anxious situation on the court, he couldn't help but stand up, find Coach Nate, and want to play.

"Is it okay? George?" Nate squinted his eyes and asked. To be honest, his heart was moved. If George could win this exposure, it would be worth it, but if he couldn't win, it would be worth the loss.

Paojiao looked at Xu Xiang who was fighting hard on the field, and nodded fiercely. Last time you were fighting alone, this time I will go up no matter what you say.

In the life-and-death match against the Nets in early April, he was so aggrieved that he could only watch Xu Xiang fight alone on the court. Now it is different.

Half a day later, during the first official timeout, Paul George was brought on.

The game was in full swing. In the conference room of the Nets, when Bill scored another three-pointer, they all cheered happily. Now there are only 4 minutes left, but the point difference has reached 17 points.

The Pacers are basically doomed.

Xu Xiang shook his head at Paul George, who was panting heavily beside him, indicating that he didn't need to fight anymore. He was 4 points behind in 17 minutes, and the opponent's touch was so good that he couldn't catch up.

Pickled Pepper was originally coming back from injury, but he couldn't be injured once for a destined game, it wouldn't be worth it.

Coach Nate on the sidelines also shook his head, called a timeout for the last time, and replaced Paul George, while Xu Xiang stayed on the court to chase points under his own insistence.

The final result of the game came out, 123 to 107, with the Pacers trailing by 16 points.

Everyone was very low, Xu Xiang wiped the sweat off his head, looked at Paul George, and said loudly:

"Why panic? As long as we win tomorrow, the playoff spot is still ours, and they can't guarantee that they will win the Magic?"

There are usually relatively few words about pickled peppers, so Xu Xiang has to say such words.

"There is still a chance, don't give up, and the Grizzlies are not invincible." They only played against the Grizzlies once this season, and this is the second time. That time they lost miserably because of West's injury.

After the Pacers lost to the Wizards, the outside wind changed in an instant. The strength of the Grizzlies and Magic was obvious to everyone at a glance. The most accepted version of the current situation is: "The Nets win the Magic, and the Pacers lose to the Grizzlies. At that time, the two teams will have the same score, and the Nets have the advantage of winning and losing, so there is a high probability that the Nets will advance."

For some markets, the odds of the Pacers have also gradually increased, and are already higher than those of the Nets. This proves that most people now think that the Nets can win.

这场比赛徐向全场拿到32分3助攻2篮板，保罗乔治出战23分钟，拿到19分2助攻6篮板。

When Bill on the opposite side scores with a burst of touch, no matter who it is, it is difficult to win.

Time passed quickly. Since the Pacers were playing back-to-back games, they had no time to rest. They had to rush to Memphis. Tomorrow would be a fateful moment!
