Mike Deng Liwei felt hot after coming off the bench in the second quarter. Sometimes you will worry about whether his hot hands will melt the ball when he passes it to him.
O ‘Brien saw that Deng Liwei’s hand felt hot, so he didn’t worry about changing Li Cheng, but let Deng Liwei stay on the court.
In this game, Deng Liwei Jr. scored 36 points, while Granger and Li Cheng jointly contributed 51 points. The three of them arranged 87, although Carter and Harris on the other side scored 58 points together. But it still doesn’t help.
In the end, the Pacers beat their opponents 123-115 at their own home.
After the game. Li Cheng also invited Carter to go out for the whole night. Recently, the frequency of Li Cheng going out to play is relatively high. But even so, he didn’t miss training and didn’t affect his state. After all, with the improvement of the "perfect body" attribute, Li Cheng’s physical fitness is getting better and better, and his energy is getting better and better.
After seeing off the New Jersey Nets at home, the Pacers will face the challenge of Miami.
Now this Miami is not the defending champion last year. After the shark swam and Wade was reimbursed for the season, Pat Riley shamelessly chose to ruin it.
How can this lousy Miami be the opponent of the Pacers? After the game started, the Pacers made a wild attack. The difference is widened to double digits. After the half-time, the Pacers were already 20 points ahead of their opponents. After three quarters, the game completely entered garbage time, and finally the Pacers beat their opponents 105-85 at home.
After winning Miami at home, the Pacers’ ranking has risen to the fifth place in the East, but they are only half a game ahead of the sixth Atlanta Hawks, and their position is not too stable.
There are still eight games before the end of the season. According to O ‘Brien, try to get the fifth place. In that case, their opponent is probably the Cavaliers.
Although LeBron James, who has a little emperor, is not easy to fight. However, compared with the previous opponents, O ‘Brien thinks that it is better to fight the Cavaliers. After all, this season, the Pacers swept the Cavaliers in three games, psychologically speaking. They have some advantages.
April 1st is April Fool’s Day. There is no match on this day, but they will go to Boston in the afternoon. Challenge the Celtics. The team had a holiday in the morning, but O ‘Brien came to the training hall with Li Cheng, Granger and Tinsley.
The playoffs are approaching. O ‘Brien must prepare some secret weapons for the team, and what he relies on most now is their backcourt combination. Especially the combination of Li Cheng and Granger. This will be two big killers for the Pacers in the playoffs.
The three of them practiced in the training hall all morning, and O ‘Brien thought out some routines.
In the afternoon, the Pacers got on the plane to Boston.
Boston is the largest port city in North America, and the "tea party" that once happened here is also an important turning point in American history.
In the nba, there are two teams with extraordinary glorious history. One is the Los Angeles Lakers, and the other is the Boston Celtics. Compared with the elegance of Los Angeles people like aristocrats, Boston, with its tough folk customs, is more fierce and tough.
The Los Angeles Lakers represent elegance, while the Boston Celtics represent toughness and unyielding.
These two teams rose at the same time as if they had an appointment this year. First, the Celtics formed a formidable Big Three, and then Los Angeles robbed all-star forward Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies, which made the team get a qualitative upgrade.
This year’s finals are likely to be contested between the Celtics and the Lakers, but the season is not over yet. The Celtics must first face the challenge of the Indiana Pacers at their own home.
The North Shore Garden Stadium is definitely the object that all players yearn for. Although it looks a bit shabby, its real beauty is that its ceiling is covered with retired jerseys and 16 championship flags.
When Li Cheng first walked into the arena, he felt a unique atmosphere. The air here is full of the smell of history.
"I’m really looking forward to tonight’s game!" Li Cheng said.
Granger shook his head and said, "I don’t want to play ball with those old guys. Each one is more difficult than the other."
Li Cheng was talking to Granger when the door of the dressing room was pushed open and Larry Bird came in.
"Mr. Bird." The players’ league in the dressing room greeted Larry Bird.
"Don’t be nervous, I’m just browsing. I really miss this arena!" Bird said, he kept looking.
Larry Bird is definitely one of the most famous superstars in Celtic history. His whole career has been dedicated to this team, and he has created one legend after another in this team. His confrontation with the magician has become an eternal classic in the nba.
I walked around the visiting team’s locker room. Bird greeted the players and pushed the door out.
Bird’s appearance is just an episode, and the players are still preparing for the game at their own pace.
The game will start soon. This game is also a duel between pitchers in the eyes of many people, but I don’t know whether the head coaches of the two teams will fulfill the fans’ wishes.
Eight * zero * power * sub * book * w * w * t * x * t * 8 * 0. * c * o * m
Ray Allen. Known as the best pitcher in the league after Miller. Li Cheng, on the other hand, has always had the aura of "Miller’s successor" on his head. The duel between these two men is the biggest attraction of this game.
As for the result of the game … The Pacers are really not optimistic. After all, the Celtics now give people a feeling of sweeping the league. Although the Pacers have won the Celtics once before, they really have no advantage in coming to the away game this time.
At the beginning of the game, the pacers felt strong pressure from their opponents. The Celtics’ defense gives people a feeling of suffocation. It’s not the playoffs yet, but the Celtics have already come up with this level of defense, which will definitely not be their limit. What kind of feeling will it give people when they reach the limit of defense?
In the game against the wasps. The two teams fought against each other, and the game was very fierce. The scene was very spectacular. But in this game, the Celtics restricted the walkers as soon as they came up, so that the walkers could not attack if they wanted to, and the rhythm was completely controlled by their opponents.
Pacers are not afraid of their opponents, what they are afraid of is a defensive team like Celtic.
In the face of the Celtics’ defensive level, Li Cheng and Granger became the only stable scoring points left by the Pacers.
Granger needs to pester Pierce more, in this case. More scoring pressure is on Li Cheng’s shoulder.
Defending Li Cheng is Ray Allen, and the long-awaited counterpoint between the media and fans has finally appeared.
Li Cheng found an opportunity with his erratic running position. He got rid of Ray Allen and hit a jumper.
Soon, Ray Allen returned the favor. Ray Allen’s attack is more unreasonable than Li Cheng’s. Li Cheng at least throws off his opponent with a running position before shooting. And Ray Allen directly hit Li Cheng with his body, then his body jumped up with a little bit, and finally hit the shot easily.
In the attack, Li Cheng used more of his own skills. In defense, he can’t do anything about an unreasonable player like Ray Allen. So he usually defends with his eyes on the court, not a strong opponent. He will never try his best to defend.
Being bullied in defense, Li Cheng decided to find his place in the attack.
Ray Allen’s distance from Li Cheng is still relatively close. His distance can not only prevent Li Cheng’s shooting, but also respond as soon as Li Cheng wants to break through.
