应雄本场比赛出战41分钟，砍下了31分15个篮板6次助攻3次抢断2次盖帽的数据。15个篮板也创造了他季后赛生涯的新高（之前是14个）。

Game 4 of the two-team series will continue on May 5 at the Pacers' home banker life arena.If the Raptors win again at that time, the big score will become 15:3, and the Pacers will fall into an extremely passive situation.

In Yingxiong's view, the G4 series between the two teams will probably be the most difficult game in this round of the series.For the Pacers, if they lose G4, they will fall behind by a big score of 1:3. In the next three games, when the Raptors have 3 hosts and 2 guest, their probability of being out will even reach 1%, or even more .But if G9 can be won, the two teams will return to the Air Canada Center in Toronto again to usher in the battle of Tianwangshan.At that time, even if the situation is still unfavorable to them, the suspense of the series will return again, and it is very likely that there will be a tiebreaker.

G4 is a game that the Pacers are unwilling to lose and cannot lose. For the Raptors, why not.They are unwilling to really stay with such an excellent defensive team until the sixth game or even the tiebreaker. Physical fitness is one aspect, and players have to take a great risk of injury.

On May 5, the NBA officially announced the first team of the best defensive team for the 14-2012 season. The players who entered the first defense are: Chris Paul, Ying Xiong, LeBron James, Serge Ibaka, Tyson Chandler, Joakim Noah.This is the first time in Yingxiong's NBA career that he was selected for the first defense. He finally won the competition with superstar Kobe Bryant.His selection means that the NBA's defensive bias against yellow men is gradually decreasing.

In this first-defense list, because Tyson Chandler and Joakim Noah had the same number of votes in the end, they were jointly selected.What is more embarrassing is that Marc Gasol, who had previously announced the award for the best defensive player, was unexpectedly defeated...

On May 5, the NBA officially announced the best rookie team for the 15-2012 season, and the rookie center Valanciunas of the Raptors won the second team of the best rookie team.Of course, strictly speaking, Valanciunas participated in the draft in 2013, but this season is indeed his first NBA season, and he played in Europe last season.

But in any case, Valanciunas can be selected to the second team of the All-Rookie Team, which is good for him and for the Raptors.How enviable it is for a team to have superstars like the MVP of the regular season and the power of juniors selected to the All-Rookie Team.

On the evening of May 5th, the Pacers' home arena, the Raptors VS Pacers series G15, will be held here.There was a lot of attention before the game.The importance of the game is self-evident. Before the game started, the arena was already full of gunpowder.

The players who explained the game on the spot were Pacers star Reggie Miller and former NBA superstar Charles Barkley who has the title of "Flying Pig".

Before the game started, the two began to exchange pleasantries and jokes.

Barkley is still as funny as ever + poisonous tongue: "Hey, Reggie, if Indiana loses this game again, you won't have a chance to comment here this season!"

Miller curled his lips and smiled: "I will still explain here on the 19th!"

"Hahaha, Reggie, you are so funny, why don't we go to Toronto to explain the Eastern Conference Finals together!" Barkley still insisted.

"Charles, the series is still long!" Miller said firmly.

Barkley knows when to accept and when to let go, knowing that jokes should be enough: "Yeah, let's prepare to explain the game, hahaha, I hope this game will be more exciting!"

The starting lineups of both teams have not changed.On the Pacers side, due to lineup issues, they really can't change anything.What coach Vogel can do is to reasonably adjust the players' playing time according to the players' on-the-spot status, but changing the starting lineup is not in his plan.In his opinion, the starter played pretty well, and the team's loss was not due to the starter's problem.And indeed, there was no one on the bench whom he could fully trust.

The Raptors are still the starting lineup of the previous game.They respond to all changes with the same, and because the situation is dominant, they can make corresponding adjustments according to subsequent changes in their opponents.

With Bargnani and Hibbert kicking off the jump ball, the game officially began.

Hibbert's jump ball still easily won Bargnani, and George Hill dribbled to the frontcourt.

After a pass transfer, Paul George moved without the ball, and with the help of his teammates' positioning cover, he caught the ball and made a jumper-hit!
The Pacers scored a goal on their first offense.From the mental outlook displayed by the players on the field, it can be seen that they are determined to win this game.

Reggie Miller did not forget to brag about his little brother: "In terms of offensive ability off the ball, PG's ability ranks very high in the league's No. 3 position!"

Barkley didn't forget to tease: "It's good without the ball, but with the ball——"

Miller gave him a blank look and stopped talking.Both of them are one of the top 50 stars in the NBA. Their understanding of the game and player skills is by no means comparable to that of ordinary fans, so they don't need to speak clearly, they understand a lot.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball, broke through with the help of the pick-and-roll, and then divided Ying Xiong on the right wing.

Ying Xiong broke through with the ball, and suddenly found that Paul George, who was defending him, was different from the previous game.In the first 3 games, the opponents defended him mainly by sticking to the defense. Even if he chooses to rush, there is a defensive gate Hibbert waiting to block the shot.But since he sent Hibbert to the bench in the last game, the opponent began to be afraid of his breakthrough and foul.In order to protect Hibbert, Paul George defended him less tightly.

But in this way, Ying Xiong can get a relatively generous outside shooting space.Defense is like this, sticking tight is to prevent shooting, and taking a step back is to prevent breakthrough.For a player with top-notch sudden shots, it is naturally difficult to limit.But the problem is that the defensive end has to make a choice, want everything, and probably get nothing.

"Test my shooting, then I'll show you the shot!" Ying Xiong made a sudden stop and shot a jump shot—the arc was very straight, but he was unlucky, the ball circled around the basket, and then came out again ...

Hibbert easily received the rebound.

In the first half of the first quarter, the offensive efficiency of the two teams was very poor.The players of the Raptors were constrained by the opponent's high-intensity defense, and they didn't feel good in this game; while for the Pacers, Paul George made a hit on the first shot, but there was no second shot, and they also hit the iron again and again.
