The Pacers won by 54 points to tie the score between the two sides.

On the surface, though, the Bulls still have the upper hand in the series.

Because the home-court advantage is already on the Bulls' side, it will depend on the Pacers' performance in Chicago.

Of course, the significance of the second game victory is not only a big victory, but also a great boost to the morale of the whole team.

Against the Celtics, the Pacers found their defensive intensity, and in Game 2 against the Bulls, the Pacers found their offensive touch.

Especially Li Liang, he is obviously more comfortable and free on the offensive end.

In the first half of establishing the advantage, Li Liang did not stick to the indiscriminate bombardment of the past three-point shots, but integrated various scoring methods, including what he learned, stolen, as well as assists and rebounds, which led the team's offense.

The Pacers are in full bloom and basically take out the Bulls in halftime, which is a great benefit to the self-confidence of the whole team.

After the second game, the team took a short flight to Chicago the next day.

The distance between Chicago and Indianapolis is less than three hundred kilometers, and the plane quickly arrives at the airport in Chicago.

As soon as he arrived at the airport, Li Liang felt full of malice from the people of Chicago - in the airport lobby, there was a sign against Li Liang, "Betrayer - Bruce".

To tell the truth, Li Liang is indeed a third-surname in essence, but he is not a third-surname slave, but a father with a third-surname surname.

As for why he doesn't want a good surname, he wants to be a father with three surnames, because he wants to be a father!

Therefore, some places with a more hard-line atmosphere have always looked down on Li Liang.

For example, Utah, Chicago, Detroit, etc., (excluding Boston.) ）

Of course, if Li Liang announces that he is going to go in the summer, then the fans in these places will definitely be very happy again.

Originally, it was a game, but many people were too deep in the play, what loyalty was not disloyal, and it was not the color of the nation, so it couldn't be changed when it was born, and it was normal to change the door in the alliance.

Of course, Li Liang laughed at this, not that he could see it, but that he felt very happy when he thought that he could gain a lot of anger points from playing at night.

Arrived at the hotel arranged by Chicago, and in the evening, some fans came to make trouble, and on the way downstairs through the hotel, many people drove past and honked their horns.

Until the wee hours of the morning, the horn sounded intermittently.

That's what the playoffs are like.

Of course, this had no effect on Li Liang at all, he fell asleep early in the morning and didn't feel it at all.

On the contrary, the other travelers who stayed in the hotel at the same time were unlucky.

The next day, the whole team went to the training hall for training, and the bus encountered many drivers with middle fingers on the road.

The feud between the Pacers and the Bulls can be traced back to 1998, when the Pacers acted as the biggest roadblock on Jordan's second three-game winning streak, and fought seven games with the Bulls, which was one of the only two steals and the most dangerous one for Michael Jordan on the way to six championships.

This time the Pacers met the Bulls in the playoffs, and the first game the Bulls played with momentum to take the advantage, while the second game of the Pacers' 54-point sweep was considered a humiliation for the Chicagoans.

What is Chicago? In addition to New York, there was once another city where mafia was rampant.

Although these belong to the old yellow calendar, and they have little to do with basketball, there is a heritage of folk customs.

And because of the Michael Jordan era, the morale of Chicago fans is still very high.

Being insulted by the walkers, of course, you have to give some greetings when you come to Chicago.

Li Liang was overjoyed.

Bird found out that this thing was in a good mood when he was training.

I talked and laughed with my teammates, and I was very happy.

Bird thought to himself, this kid's psychological quality is really strong.

Like the older generation of players, they have good psychological quality, and the more they face pressure and opposition, the more they can remain calm.

This is a good thing, the more pressure and opposition he faces, the happier he is!

Looking at his performance in training, I feel like I'm about to turn my head with joy.

It's a bit too much, isn't it okay for you to stay calm as usual?

You don't look like you have a big heart, you look like a pervert, you know?

Li Liang doesn't care, perverts are perverted, and when it comes to the evening game, let them know what a real pervert is.

Don't you guys have the famous "Chicago Typewriter" in Chicago?

In the evening, let the Chicago fans see what it means to be a real blind game.

……

Li Liang is very confident in himself, he knows that since he is in the away game, he has to play a little more commotionally.

Otherwise, how can it cause the anger of the fans?

In order to collect anger points, Li Liang has always performed better away from home than the main one, and has played more boldly and aggressively.

In the last game, Li Liang actually played quite conservatively, more like James.

When he comes to the away game, he has to learn from Kobe Bryant as much as possible.

In fact, Kobe Bryant was a proper away killer when he was in the West.

At home, Staples handed over to O'Neal, and away went to the opponent's court, relying on Kobe Bryant to finish the opponent.

……

At seven p.m. that night, at the Chicago Union Center, Game 3 of the Pacers and Bulls series.

Six championship flags hang over the United Center, representing one of the greatest moments in the history of Chicago basketball.

When the live singers sang the American national anthem, Li Liang looked up at these championship flags and thought, "There are still four sides left, and we can catch up with Jordan, and if we win another one this year, we will catch up with him for the first three consecutive championships." ”

Li Liang's inner words have to be heard by others, and I am afraid that he will not scold him for speaking wildly.

But in Li's conscience, catching up with Jordan in the number of championships is just a basic goal.

The game is about to begin.

The starting line-ups for both sides were exactly the same as in the previous game.

The Bulls didn't make any changes to their roster, what they needed to adjust was the state of the game.

The 54-point fiasco in the last game should have taught them a painful enough lesson.

The Pacers continue to maintain their consistent starters, and Li Liang doesn't want to return to the No. 3 spot anyway.

In the opening jump ball, McGee took the lead in dialing the ball, Li Liang got the ball and handed it to Hill, and the game began.

On the Pacers' first offense, Li Liang passed the ball to Granger in the low post on the left.

Granger hit Dunleavy in the low post, only to turn over and miss his jumper.

Granger's hit of Dunleavy can be regarded as a misalignment, but Granger's hand feeling in the opening is average.

The Bulls didn't hit the first offense, and after Butler received a pass from Rose, he rolled over and made a pull-up jump shot.

The difficulty of this ball is too high, Kobe-style back-back, but unfortunately Butler does not have Kobe's feel, and the ball does not hit.

But under the basket, after McGee grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, an accidental ball was broken by Noah.

Noah dribbled and went to the basket after breaking the ball, but was pressed down by Li Liang's big hat!

The fans at the scene were about to cheer, but with Li Liang's big hat, they all let out an "oh", which was not without regret.

[Rage +5 from ......]

[Rage +2, from ......]

It was only the first goal in the opening game, and Li Liang began to gain anger points.

Yes, yes, that's a normal playoff away game.

a place like Boston, it's not normal!

Li Liang contributed a beautiful block in the opening game, which made Noah's clever steal useless.

Subsequently, Hill cooperated with McGee in the high post, and after repeated blocking, covering, and passing, Hill gave McGee a blow to McGee, who cut inside, but McGee wanted to hook his hand, but found that he was caught in the Bulls' encirclement.

McGee could only pass the ball out, but was tackled by Butler!

The ball rolled in the direction of the middle line and was grabbed by Li Liang!

Li Liang took the ball and glanced up at the time of the timer, which was less than 2 seconds away from 24 seconds.

Hill wasted too much time on the pick-and-roll.

JR Smith came out and he had a chance on the left side and could catch the ball and take a shot.

But Li Liang didn't want to pass it on to him, and he didn't know what this thing would feel like tonight.

And the time is too short, and there is little room for adjustment after receiving the ball.

I believe in myself!

Li Liang fired directly more than two meters away from the three-point line!

Because there was not much time, he shot as fast as he could.

The ball flew in mid-air, and the time was up, 24 seconds.

Then, the ball hit the center of the rebound and bounced into the basket!

A lucky three-point board!

There was a burst of boos at the scene, and Li Liang blew his fingers, and the Chicago typewriter officially opened fire.
