At the end of the second quarter, Granger scored two three-pointers in a row, killing the Nets’ counterattack again.
Pacers’ players took a 48-61 lead and entered the players’ lane.
In the player’s lane, O ‘Brien caught up with Li Cheng and walked side by side with him. "Li, you played really well today."
Li Cheng scratched his hair embarrassedly.
O ‘Brien continued: "You know, because of our lineup, you can only stay on the bench for the time being, but you must be the most important member of the team."
It turned out that it was because of the starting problem. Li Cheng smiled and said, "Now my playing time has surpassed Mike’s, so it doesn’t matter whether I start or not."
O’ Brien nodded with satisfaction and said, "I believe you will be a good player."
A player doesn’t lose his temper for starting, but is modest and obedient. With such a character, as long as he has the talent suitable for playing basketball, he will certainly become a good player.
"hey! Li, you’ve been playing really well recently. " Foster saw Li Cheng come in with O ‘Brien and said first.
"Li, why didn’t you show such strength earlier?" Murphy, who is changing clothes, also looked up and said.
Granger came up smiling, put his arm around Li Cheng’s shoulder and said, "Dude, you played really well. I just looked at the technical statistics, and you actually hit 100%! "
Daniels joked aside and said, "Li, it’s a good thing you didn’t show such strength earlier, otherwise I might not even have any playing time now!" "
Li Cheng smiled shyly. At this time, he showed a little restraint and modesty of China people.
Before the outbreak of Li Cheng, the Pacers suffered a nine-game losing streak, and the atmosphere in their locker room was not as good as it is now. At that time, every night, the atmosphere in the dressing room was extremely depressing.
Li Cheng’s outbreak brought victory to the Pacers, and all his teammates came out of that depression. In addition, Li Cheng invited them out for a tour the day before yesterday, and their attitude towards Li Cheng was very friendly. Except for one person, of course.
When everyone showed goodwill to Li Cheng, in the corner of the dressing room, Deng Liwei Jr. changed his clothes and leaned back in his chair, listening to music with headphones. That earphone isolated him from others, and at this time, he chose to stay alone in his own world.
Everyone can see that there seems to be a contradiction between Li Cheng and George W. Deng Liwei, but no one has mentioned it. After all, now everyone has no contradiction. The Pacers’ entry into the playoffs is also very good, and they don’t need to make something that destroys harmony.
It is well known that the team will change greatly in the summer, and most people may play in Indiana in the last season. What’s wrong with being able to perform well in the last time and add some value to yourself? If the team fails to enter the playoffs because of some internal contradictions, it will still affect itself. It is good for everyone to let the contradiction between Li Cheng and Deng Liwei Jr. be buried in the depths.
Deng Liwei Jr. was listening to music alone, while Li Cheng was chatting with other teammates. O ‘Brien sat on the sidelines and didn’t speak. The team was in a good state in the first half and he had nothing to decorate.
The half-time break passed quickly, and the players walked out of the dressing room to prepare for the second half of the game.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Cheng sat on the bench, and Deng Liwei Jr. played.
Deng Liwei Jr. started the third quarter well, hitting two shots in a row, and Granger’s breakthrough helped the Pacers score points again and again. In the fourth minute of the third quarter, the Pacers once expanded the difference to 20 points.
Subsequently, the Nets began to fight back again under the leadership of Carter.
O ‘Brien will change into Li Cheng every time he chases points on the opposite side or the pedestrians need to chase points, and this time is no exception.
Li Cheng played again, and this time he failed to keep 100% shooting. His hand was smooth in these two games, but he didn’t score every goal. Moreover, opponents have begun to set up defenses against him, and he can no longer get what he wants as he did in the first half.
In the third quarter, Li Cheng made 3 of 6 shots, and in addition, he made 3 free throws, scoring a total of 9 points.
Although Li Cheng failed to maintain the extremely changeable shooting rate in the first half again, he also helped the Pacers to curb the Nets’ counterattack.
Carter didn’t give up in the last game. He didn’t want to lose the game.
Li Cheng scored 25 points in the third quarter, which made Carter feel humiliated.
He played against a rookie, or a second-round show, and let the other side score 25 points in three quarters. Even if Carter is a good temper, he can’t stand it.
At this time, it was the Nets’ attack. Carter dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and Li Cheng was in front of him.
At the moment, Carter’s eyes are very focused, and he decides to play alone.
Carter leaned his back against Li Cheng, butted his ass, then suddenly turned to face the basket, jumped directly and shot.
"Hey!" The sound of basketball rubbing against the nets is crisp and loud.
Offensive and defensive translocation, the attack of the pacers, and basketball reached Li Cheng’s hands.
Li Cheng caught the ball sideways, and Carter forced it up directly.
"come on Boy, single one! "
Li Chengyun dribbled the ball and said, "I won’t single you with the ball."
Carter didn’t speak, but his eyes revealed his thoughts. "No matter what you do, I will stop you from scoring again."
Carter was really angered. His defensive attitude had not been very good. He and his cousin McGrady were never active defenders, but today he followed Li Cheng closely, just to reward him with a big hat.
Sung Jae Lee circled the inside twice, and then ran from the left side of the reasonable collision zone to the right side of the free throw line. He ran a diagonal line.
Tinsley was on the other side, and when he twisted, the basketball in his hand disappeared. When basketball appeared again, it had already bounced off the floor and flew to Li Cheng’s hand.
Stop, catch, turn around, shoot.
After the basketball shot, Li Cheng’s right hand kept the action when he shot, and closed his eyes, waiting for the wonderful syllables when the basketball got into the net to be introduced into his ears.
Carter is angry, and Sung Jae Lee is no longer a simple rookie in his eyes, but has risen to the level of opponents.
Canadian trapeze once again succeeded in singles, but the Nets failed to stop the pacers from scoring.
In the seventh minute of the last game, the difference between the two teams was still 12 points. Carter was in a hurry and forced his hand outside the three-point line. Forced shots rarely have good results, and this time is no exception. Carter’s shot was rejected by the basket.
Li Cheng caught the rebound and organized a wave of counterattacks.
93 to 107, the Nets seem to be powerless.
Carter hit the iron again, and Devon Harris’s large three-pointer was also wide.
The score difference is getting bigger and bigger, the Nets replace all the main players, and the game enters garbage time.
Ps: The update time is not stable these days, and I am ashamed, but two chapters a day will still be guaranteed. Ask for some recommendations and collections, thank you.
Chapter 35 The second round show storm
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 100 to 115, and Li Cheng scored 29 points in the whole game.
When Li Chengzheng was about to leave, he saw Carter. Carter smiled at him and said, "You are great, rookie, but you can’t win tomorrow."
"Are you? But I don’t think so. " When confronted with such a problem, Li Cheng never gives up.
Carter smiled and said, "You are great. I will remember you from today. I hope you can enter the playoffs."
Li Cheng thought about the current ranking of the East and said, "Now we are ranked ninth, and you are ranked eighth. If we want to enter the playoffs, we have to squeeze out yours. "
"Ha ha! Boy, why don’t we make a bet? " Carter said, "How about betting on which one of us can make it to the playoffs?"
"What if we all make the playoffs?" Li cheng asked.
Without thinking, Carter said, "It depends on who is ranked higher in our final ranking."
"color head?"
"When playing away next season, go out to play, and whoever loses will treat you."
"No problem!" Li cheng raised his head and replied with a sense of war.
……
At this time, the fans at the scene also began to leave, and they were still discussing the game when they left.
"hey! Dude, don’t you think that number 23 is great? "
"all right! I must admit that he is great, and I apologize for hacking him before. "
