Chapter 192 Backward
In just one minute or so, the referee blew his whistle five times in a row, four of which were aimed at Yunchen. This sudden change made the home fans hug their heads, unable to accept such a situation.

The head star suddenly got into foul trouble, which was a bolt from the blue for them.

Yun Chen returned to the bench, panting heavily, was pressed on the bench by his teammates, and a towel was covered on his head, and Le Fu sat beside him and kept comforting him, fearing that he would do it again. Something out of the ordinary.

"Li, they came here on purpose to target you." Tyronn Lue came to Yun Chen's side with a tactical board and said. He had been observing for a while, and he was well aware of the changes on the field.

"For me?" Yun Chen frowned and looked up.

"That's right, the Sabonis they played made it clear that he was targeting you. You can see that in his two shots and two defenses, none of them really wanted to attack or prevent shots. They were all just to trick you into fouling. "Tayren Lu said in a deep voice.

Yun Chen shook his head when he heard the words: "But they will also foul themselves, right? Cheating fouls is a matter of mutual harm. You see, he also fouled himself just now."

"So what? He is just an unimportant substitute player, and you are our trump card. He was sent off just to lose one bench to score, but if you go down, it will be a disaster for us." Tai Lunlu explained that he is very patient now, because he understands that if Yunchen doesn't adjust, the game will be really dangerous.

As soon as these words came out, Yun Chen immediately stopped talking. After being reminded by Tyronn Lue, he also found out that something was wrong, and when he thought of Oladipo's words, he immediately understood the mystery.

"For the rest of this quarter, if there is no accident, you don't want to play." Tai Lue sighed, and finally issued such an order.

Yun Chen lowered her head and remained silent.

The Cavaliers made a substitution. Just over a minute into the second quarter, Osman was replaced, and the rest of the lineup remained unchanged.

"Wow..." There were disappointed boos from the auditorium. This was for the referees. The home fans were very unhappy with the few penalties just handed out.

At the end of the timeout, the two sides returned to the court. At this time, the Pacers' lineup has undergone a huge change. Everyone except Tyreke Evans is back in the starting lineup.

The absence of Li Yunchen and Kevin Love is an excellent opportunity for them to chase points, and now they are not far behind, only 10 points.

As the game continued, Yunchen sat on the bench with a towel on his head and watched the situation on the court.

Without Yunchen and Love, the Cavaliers really felt a bit vulnerable. Maybe it was because the four consecutive fouls just now made them lose their offensive rhythm, or maybe it was just because they didn't feel good. After returning from a timeout, the Pacers After chasing 6 points in a row, the point difference was instantly reduced to 4 points.

Although Osman is also very capable, but for Yunchen, his outside threat ability is much smaller, and it is difficult to score the ball in a one-on-one situation.

Not to mention Seth Curry, against Collison, he could get a chance on the offensive end, but he couldn't restrain the opponent at all on the defensive end, and was beaten by consecutive breakthroughs.

The Cavaliers, who were still on the verge of breaking through in the first quarter, changed their appearance in an instant, retreating steadily without any power to fight back.

"Shua!" Oladipo broke through with the ball and forced his way to the basket, ignoring Osman's defensive high throw and scoring, helping the Pacers score two more points, narrowing the point difference to 2 points.

"Beep!" Tyronn Lue was forced to call a timeout again.

The players returned to the bench, everyone was a little downcast, and the opponent's starting players were indeed superior to them.

"Kevin, go ahead." Tyronn Lue sighed, and sent Love. Originally, Love should have rested for a while, but now that the situation is like this, he can only be allowed to play early.

And Yun Chen was still pushed on the bench.

The game continued, the Cavaliers made personnel adjustments, Hill replaced Seth Curry, Love replaced Nance Jr., and Clarkson was also arranged to play.

The game continued. At this time, the score of the two sides was 36-38. The Cavaliers only led by two points, and the offensive and defensive rhythms were chaotic.

Love played, relying on his strong offensive deterrence to change the opponent's defensive tactics, and kept playing singles near the penalty area.

Myles Turner became the target of being bullied, and Love stared at him playing alone, scoring repeatedly to stabilize the precarious situation of the Cavaliers.

However, after all, singles can only maintain a balance for a certain period of time. Over time, the disadvantages in physical strength, hand feeling and other aspects will soon be exposed.

The Pacers played more and more smoothly, while the Cavaliers played more and more monotonously. Almost every offensive offense ended up being a single forced shot. Love, Clarkson and Hill missed shots in turn.

Soon, in the 6th minute of the second quarter, the score of the two sides came to 53-44, and the Cavaliers fell behind by 9 points.

The referee blew the whistle, Hill made a defensive foul, and Oladipo made two free throws. After Yunchen took charge of the overall situation, he has scored 11 points so far in the second quarter, much like Yunchen did in the first quarter.

"Coach, let's change, I'll play." Looking at the situation on the field, Yunchen came to Tyronn Lue's side and applied to play.

Tyronn Lue turned around and glanced at Yunchen: "You have already fouled three times. If you get another foul in the first half, it will be very difficult to play in the final quarter!"

It may be a bit unfounded, but in Tyronn Lue's view, even if Yunchen plays in this game, the winner may not be decided until the last quarter, because the Pacers have already played momentum.

"If I don't play, I'm afraid we will lose before the fourth quarter." Yun Chen shook his head. Although the last two minutes of the second quarter are not long, the Pacers are likely to widen the point difference to 15. point.

Tyronn Lu was silent.

"Wow" without waiting for his consent, Yun Chen took off his coat by himself, and then came to the referee's seat to signal the referee to change.

On the court, Clarkson was called off by him. He played more than 9 minutes in the second quarter. His performance was not good, but the offensive end did have something remarkable.

Yun Chen gave him a high five, and then walked onto the stage.

Oladipo has already hit the first free throw. At this time, the point difference has been opened to 10 points. Seeing Yun Chen coming up, Oladipo suddenly smiled: "Hehe, I didn't expect it, the first half I can still see you back."

His expression is very beating, it is clear that he wants to hate Yunchen.

"..." Yun Chen didn't say a word, and stood in his position with a blank expression, ready to grab a rebound.

"Li, you..." Le Fu was also a little surprised, because in his opinion, Yun Chen should come back in the second half.

"It's okay, just fight hard." Yun Chen waved his hand to greet him, without saying anything.

Oladipo executed the second free throw, and the point difference between the two sides was opened to 11 points.

In the second quarter, there are 2 minutes and 39 seconds left!
