Pete Ella brought his new son, Ella Jr., to the Conseth Center Arena, and today is Ella Jr.'s 5th birthday. The Indiana Pacers will host the Chicago Bulls tonight, where Ella Jr. will spend his birthday night.

In Indiana, there are many people who come to the Consex Center with their children. Many people were also brought into this stadium by their parents when they were very young. Pete is just one of those people who love the Indiana Pacers.

The current Bulls are obviously more entangled, they want to be like the Miami Heat and simply sign for the champion, but they can't pull their faces, but the door of the playoffs seems to be getting farther and farther away from them.

Pat Riley's thick-skinned skin is definitely beyond the reach of the bulls. After Wade's season was reimbursed, all the Heat did every night was to lose, and the only thing they had to keep in mind was that their losing streak and losses didn't break the record.

As the interim head coach of the Bulls, Bowylan wants to make a difference in this position, not just an ugly mess. But now the Bulls, who are in 10th place in the East, will have a hard time getting back into the playoffs.

At the beginning of the season, the Chicago Bulls appeared in everyone's field of vision as a contender for tickets to the Eastern Conference Finals. But now...... They didn't live up to what they expected at the start of the season. Hinrich isn't playing as well as he used to, Lore Deng being the centerpiece of all teams and his own injuries have prevented this team from wanting to go to the next level from last season.

Last season, they defeated defending champions Miami in a hard-fought battle before being swept by Detroit. Originally, many people were optimistic about the comeback of this Bulls team, but they didn't expect them to end up in this step.

But Bowland saw their opponent tonight, the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers have risen rapidly from a nine-game losing streak, and they have recently won five of their seven games and have rushed to eighth place in the East.

"If the Indianas can, why can't we? Our Lore Deng is so much better than their Granger. And their bullshit Chinese has been hot lately, and he has been touted as a legend in the eyes of the media, and I don't want to be a boost to his soaring fame. "Bowiran is going to beat the Pacers on the road. His jealousy of the Pacers' soaring results, as well as his disdain for the soaring fame of Lee, have become the reasons why he wants to beat the Pacers on the road.

Bowelan decided to let Lore Deng defend Li Cheng, and Li Cheng's explosive state, as well as his reputation for exploding like a blowout, made Bowylan look very uncomfortable. There are not a few people who have the same idea as Bowylan, this is an ugly change in human nature, and it cannot be changed at all.

On the other hand, Li Cheng has become a very important part of the Pacers' tactics, and he and Granger have become the duo of the Pacers. Limiting any of them would undermine the tactical integrity of the Pacers, but in Boweran's view, it's always easier to contain Lee than to limit Granger. In this league, many head coaches have the same idea as Bowelan, and it is conceivable that the challenges Li Cheng will face in the future will be very serious.

Bowelan believes Lore Deng will be able to do a good job defending Li Cheng, despite the fact that Lore Deng is limited by his physical instincts and is very afraid of small forwards who are very capable in the low post. But with Lore Deng's 7-foot-1 reach, Bowelan believes he will be able to limit Lee.

And you know, the current Lore Deng is one of the hottest stars in the league. He was named an All-Star last season, and in the summer, Bryant was clamoring to trade to the Bulls to play alongside Lore Deng. In addition, last season, he scored 25.6 points in five games and shot 64.7 percent from the field, the last time he hit such a number was Michael Jordan.

All of these factors have allowed Lore Deng's personal popularity to reach its peak. Although Lore Deng has become the first person to deal with this season because of this, it is also a reflection of his quality.

It's not going to be easy for the Pacers to win this game, and O'Brien is ready for a tough game. Now that the Pacers have the initiative to make the playoffs, he doesn't allow his team to slack off at this stage, and he demands that his players take it seriously every game.

Obviously, O'Brien did the right thing, and his preparation was not in vain, and the intense game started from the moment the ball jumped.

Today is Lee's second start, and from the day he becomes a starter, it is a sign that he will face entanglement with various types of defensive players. The Lore Deng he met today was not the same player who used his body to suppress him in the past, Lore Deng's long arms kept shaking in front of him, his defense was also very targeted, and Li Cheng's catch became very difficult.

"Dad, is that number 23 what you call 'Indiana's hope'?" In the stands of the home fans, a childish voice came out.

Pete touched his son's head dotingly and said, "That No. 23 and No. 33 are the hope for the future of our team, and they will definitely take us to a height that we have never reached." The Pacers have already reached the Finals, and the "never-before-reached heights" obviously refer to the championship, which shows that Li Cheng and Granger have occupied a very important place in the hearts of Indiana fans.

Little Ella frowned slightly, like a little cute baby, "It seems that the 23rd is in trouble!" ”

"He will definitely deal with the opponent, in my heart, he is Reggie's heir!" Pete's words reveal a powerful confidence.

A large part of the fans' confidence in Lee Cheng seems to come from the man named Reggie Miller, but will Lee Sung disappoint the fans? The answer is clearly no.

At this time, it happened to be the Pacers' offense. Lore Deng stuck to Li Cheng like his first love, the first two attacks, Li Cheng didn't receive the ball, and Granger didn't feel very good after coming up today, and his two shots were out of the way. The Pacers are down 4-0.

Li Cheng's continuous and fast runs finally threw off a little space to catch the ball, and Granger, who missed two consecutive shots, was looking for a point to pass the ball, and he saw Li Cheng's gap here and decisively passed the ball over.

Luol Deng quickly posted it again, so that Li Cheng couldn't shoot immediately. At the same time, his body was tightly pressed against Li Cheng, obviously guarding against Li Cheng's backward jumper.

Li Cheng made two shooting feints in a row, and then jumped up suddenly. Luol Deng stretched out his long arms, while Li Cheng maximized his recline angle to avoid Luol Deng's block.

With such a large recline angle, many fans have grown their mouths. "Such a difficult step-back jumper, can this go in?"

Can you enter? The Nets, swept like a wave, gave the best answer to this question.

Li Cheng's step-back jumper gave the Pacers the first two points of the night.
