In the second quarter, Li Cheng sat on the bench, and Dunleavy Jr. continued to maintain a hot hand on the court, and his two shots from beyond the three-point line accurately hit the basket.

Every time Dunleavy Jr. scores, the camera of the live director will accurately find Li Cheng. Li Cheng's face was not shocked, without any expression. When Dunleavy Jr. hit another shot to score his eighth point of the game, this time the director's camera found O'Brien.

O'Brien, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't have any expression, he put his hands in his pockets and watched the game on the field.

"Little Dunleavy has been feeling very good recently, but the contradiction between him and Li Cheng should be irreconcilable, I don't know what O'Brien will think in his heart."

"Li Cheng's role is obviously stronger than Dunleavy Jr., especially when the team is headwind, Li Cheng dares to shoot and dare to confront opponents."

"If Dunleavy Jr. can stay with the Pacers and play off the bench, it could be a really good addition for the Pacers."

The narrator was talking about Dunleavy Jr., but now everyone at the Pacers knew in their hearts that Dunleavy Jr. was going to leave this summer.

Now Dunleavy Jr. barely communicates with anyone in the team, and he is now doing his best on the field for nothing more than his own future. Whether the Pacers win or not has nothing to do with him anymore, all he wants is his own count.

However, thanks to Dunleavy Jr., the Pacers once again established an eight-point lead in the fifth minute of the second quarter. Adelman couldn't sit still on the sidelines, he started to make substitutions, and Yao Mai was back on the field again.

O'Brien naturally won't give Yao Ming and Maddie a chance to easily recover the difference, and his substitutions are even more straightforward, directly replacing all the main forces except Foster.

Once again, the Pacers fielded their small lineup, apparently trying to extend the margin to 10 points in one go.

"Little Dunleavy and Li Cheng are on the field at the same time, isn't O'Brien worried at all?"

"Neither Li Cheng nor Dunleavy Jr. need the ball, the ball is in the hands of Tinsley and Granger. Li Cheng and Dunleavy Jr. only need to run, and when the opportunity comes out, Tinsley or Granger will pass the ball, and the two of them will not have any more conflicts because of the ball problem. ”

The fact is indeed as analyzed by the commentator, there will be no intersection between Li Cheng and Dunleavy Jr. because of the ball, and naturally there will be no continued contradictions.

And the current lineup of the Pacers, their scoring explosiveness is particularly strong, and the shooting range is particularly long. However, the subsequent weakness is that the defense against Yao Ming will be weakened a lot. But the current Pacers are not a team that wins games on defense at all, they are all about offense, and they win by one more point than their opponents.

After changing this lineup, the Pacers immediately set off a wave of offensive frenzy.

Lee Sung-tong guò ran and shook off Maddie, who was not too serious about his defense. Tinsley, who had long been ready to pass the ball, passed the ball to Li Cheng's hands at the first time, and after Li Cheng received the ball, he jumped directly, completed the turning action in the air, and then threw a backward jumper.

"Li Cheng's ball is a turning action completed in the air, and his shooting is really getting more and more beautiful."

The reason why he was able to make such an action was also because of the improvement of the attribute of "Perfect Body", and his physical essence was getting better and better.

Coming back, Maddie hit back with a pull-up jumper.

Then Granger broke through and split the ball, and Tinsley hit a jumper.

The Pacers and the Rockets had a fierce battle against each other, and the audience at the scene was hooked. And in the stands, which are covered by nearly half of the Chinese, their cheers never stopped.

No matter who scored the goal, they would give them applause and cheers.

The Rockets and the Pacers went back and forth for a few rounds, and their scores kept alternating upwards, and neither changed the gap in scores.

At this point, Yao Ming was standing at the free-throw line, Adelman decided to make a substitution, and Battier and Alston both returned. O'Brien also brought on Foster, and the Pacers reverted to their most regular lineup.

In between the rocket substitutions, Li Cheng looked around the Toyota Center, which was full of Chinese, and teased: "This is the friendliest away game I have ever experienced." ”

Granger said: "There are so many Chinese fans here today, and their friendliness is normal. Then he added: "The Chinese are so terrible, they casually occupy the ordinary stands." ”

"The population base determines a qiē!" Li Cheng's voice carried a kind of pride.

Yao Ming's first shot hit steadily, Granger patted Li Cheng on the shoulder, and then walked to the three-point line, where he came to his position and stood still, ready to scramble for a rebound.

The Chinese giant's second free throw, the basketball jumped twice on the basket and then bounced out again, the basket was instantly chaotic, and finally the rebound was grabbed by Foster, who had just come on the court. He threw the ball to Li Cheng, who was close to the halfcourt, and Li Cheng received the ball and rushed to the Rockets' basket at full speed.

Maddie was not far from Li Cheng, he was quicker than Li Cheng, stuck his position early and took a defensive posture. Li Cheng made several feints in a row during the dribble, but Maddie was indifferent at all, and finally he had to reduce the rhythm of the dribble and wait for his teammates to settle down and play position.

Looking at Li Cheng's feints like a middle school student, Maddie couldn't help but smile a little.

"In addition to his incomparably accurate shooting, this rookie's other technical skills are really poor, and this dribbling is really amateur."

Maddie was still evaluating Li Cheng's dribble in her heart, but she didn't force it in time.

Seeing that Maddie was not moving, Li Cheng immediately put away the idea of passing, he quickly turned around and shot.

With his super physique and explosiveness, Maddie pounced on him to block Li Cheng's shot.

"Damn, this body is really **, almost covered!" After the basketball shot, Li Cheng exhaled softly, and cold sweat broke out on his body.

But fortunately, Maddie didn't touch the basketball thrown by Li Cheng, and the spinning basketball hit the basket accurately again.

"Wow! Li Cheng suddenly threw a cold arrow, and Maddie failed to react. ”

"The margin was in double digits for the first time since the start of the game, and the Pacers led by 11 points at the Toyota Center, which was probably not expected by everyone before the game!"

"Li Cheng's performance today is really good, he has scored 16 points so far, terrifying scoring efficiency!"

"Li Cheng's scoring efficiency is really high, but after Battier comes up, he should be restrained, as the best defender in the league, Battier is not easy to match!"

As the commentator said, after Battier came up, Li Cheng scored only 2 points for the rest of the second quarter. Still, the Pacers went into the locker room with a nine-point lead.
