NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 374 First Victory! !
At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons collapsed directly, with a score of 21 to 31.

Xu Xiang hit 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 17 points in a single quarter!
The Pistons were directly stunned by this mess
Stan Van Gundy frowned, and the situation seemed to be going in a direction that was contrary to his thoughts.

Xu Xiang is really too strong!

Powerful outrageous!

I thought he had played all his cards in the regular season, but he didn't expect that averaging 25.9 points per game is still not his strongest state, and his defense is really strong and unexpected.

"Reggie, how do you feel?" His eyes looked over, and Reggie's complexion was a little gloomy.

He shook his head hard,

In the "not good" section, there were two turnovers under Xu Xiang's defense, and he only made 7 of 2 shots and didn't make a single three-pointer.

For the Pistons lineup, when Reggie Jackson can't play, they are tantamount to lacking the most important core attack point.

Zhuang Shen's deterrence at the basket is great, but scoring is not his strong point.

In the second quarter, the two sides rotated the lineup to fight, and the Pacers gave priority to CJ Myers, Lu Wei and Jokic.

Pickled peppers remained on the court, and Xu went to the court to rest.

This is the playoffs, and no one dares to directly empty the opponent like this.

The playoffs are not regular seasons, and every game now is unless the score is too big, or even super big.

Otherwise, Xu Xiang and Paojiao would definitely keep one person on the court.

This is the advantage of dual-core over single-core.

But in the regular season, Xu Xiang can go down to rest with Pickled Pepper, but now he can't.

Sure enough, after the Pistons came on the bench, Mark Curry Morris got a full shot.

投篮4中3，三分3中3，罚球2中2，砍下11分2篮板！！
Xu Xiang was forced to play early. During the first official timeout of the second quarter, he replaced CJ Myers and made his comeback.

As soon as he came up, the firepower of the Pacers recovered, and the advantage that the Pistons had just played was beaten back here.

Unmasked.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 49 to 61.

The Pistons fell behind by 10 points in the first quarter to 12 points now!
The gap widened instead.

Xu Xiang of the Pacers scored 25 points in halftime alone! !

25 points in the half!
In the playoffs.

This is really crazy.

The two ESPN commentators who commented on the game were almost shocked to the jaw.
"I have to admit that Xu is the one who surprised me the most. Even Stephen Curry couldn't surprise me like this."

His companion took up the quarrel and echoed,

"25 points in the half! This is the second time he has played in the playoffs. My God, I can't imagine what it will be like in a few years."

"Participating in the first game of the playoffs in the second year and handing in such a result, I think the most anxious thing now should be Pritchard. 0"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from the two commentators on the commentary stage.

Indeed, now Pritchard is definitely the one who should get angry the most.

Xu Xiang has not yet reached an intention to renew his contract with the Pacers, nor has he revealed whether he will choose to implement the player option for the final year.

He's absolutely pissed right now.

Chatting has had a good rest for a few days since the last game of the regular season. Now he is watching live TV at home. When he saw Xu Xiang scoring 25 points in a single game, the corner of his mouth grinned, his expression was exaggerated.

"This kid has become stronger again"

Vanessa, who came out of the room, just heard what he said, and asked him angrily,
"Who are you talking about?"

Kobe pursed his lips, took the fruit in her hand, took a bite, and said vaguely,
"Who else is there?"

This kind of thing also happened in Golden State and Cleveland.

James and Curry are also paying attention to this game at this time. They want to see how Xu Xiang and Paojiao are doing.

It's hard to say about pickled peppers for the time being, and there is no use of two eyes, but Xu Xiang has exploded!

25 points in the half!
Everyone in the Pistons was going to be knocked out.

The midfield reporter interviewed Pacers head coach Nate McMillan.

"Before the game, he told me that he had a good touch. It seems that he has truly proved himself."

"Are you confident in this victory?" The reporter continued to ask.

"Of course, this is our home court, and my players played so well, we will definitely win this game!" His tone was firm and could not be refuted.

Entering the playoffs as the No. [-] player in the regular season in the Eastern Conference, and at his own home court, how can he be worthy of the crowd of spectators if he doesn't get a good start?

In the third quarter, Xu Xiang stayed on the court after changing pickled peppers. The opposite Zhuang Shen had been playing for [-] minutes. Da Fan didn't dare to replace him, because as long as Zhuang Shen was on the court, at least the Pacers' inside line would be blown out.

The Pistons have also shifted their tactics now, and Zhuang Shen will do more of the play, but this will undoubtedly consume a lot of energy, while the Pacers' three centers take turns, Hibbert, Jokic and Mahinmi.

Zhou Qi had no chance. He still looked too thin in front of Zhuang Shen. He might not be able to hold back even one round. He was a team with a weak inside line like the Warriors, not a team like the Pistons that made a living on the inside.

Xu Xiang's touch is really burning. In the third quarter, he scored 10 points and got 2 steals and a block.

如果算上前两节，总数据已经变成了35分6助攻2篮板4抢断和2盖帽。

Seeing this, James, Curry and others have already shook their heads and turned off the TV. The Pistons have no chance.

Sure enough, although the Pistons did not give up until the last second, the point difference could not be recovered.

In the last 30 seconds, Da Fan was able to replace the substitute lineup and announced his abandonment of the game.

The last 30 seconds.

In the last minute, everyone in the Pistons was still actively fighting.

That's the intensity of the playoffs.

101 to 116, the Pacers faced the No.8 Pistons in the Eastern Conference in the first round of the playoffs and won the game by 15 points.

徐向全场比赛出场41分钟，罚球8中5，拿到40分8助攻2篮板4抢断2盖帽。

In the fourth quarter, he correspondingly reduced his shots to save energy for the next game.

After all, even if a round of the series goes well, it will take 4 games.

The game has been won and there is no need to waste more energy.

However, Xu Xiang, who scored 40+ in the first game, has become the favorite of many media reporters, because his 40 points are the highest score so far in the playoffs, and James and Curry are not as high as him.

At the end of the game, the home fans shouted "MVP!"

The voice of "MVP!"
