Could he really become the "Second Youngest Regular Season MVP"?
Su Wan said, "Let the bullets fly for a while longer!"
On November 16th, the Pacers faced their first loss of the season, having been defeated by the Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks had reached the peak of their "Civilian Five Hawks" era.
As a team-oriented squad, once they found their rhythm, they could unleash fierce firepower.
Take, for instance, this game.
Under the leadership of Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, the Pacers' wings were hammered.
It's worth mentioning that in this game, Yi Jianlian scored 12 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. He was clearly being utilized more by the Hawks this season. His court time had reached an average of 25 minutes and 13 seconds per game, scoring an average of 9.4 points and 4.6 rebounds.
Although he wasn't in the starting lineup, having stable minutes off the bench was something.
For him, that might not be a bad thing!
At least his performance was becoming more stable!
