The sky in Indianapolis is snowing heavily, and the atmosphere inside the Consyth Arena is similar to the outside temperature, which is also approaching freezing. It's hard to imagine such an atmosphere in an arena where an NBA game is being held.

Looking at the scores on the scoreboard, the fans at the scene were a little incredulous but had to admit that now the Pacers have slipped from the previous championship team to the abyss.

Li Cheng was lying on the icy floor, and he even heard boos coming from the East Stand, where the team's most loyal fans gathered. How bad should it be to be able to make the home fans boo themselves?

At this moment, the game between Indiana and Portland was 3:27 in the second quarter, but the Pacers were already trailing by 11 points. Of the 11-point difference, 6 points have something to do with Li Cheng. After he was substituted, he had been eaten three times in a row by Outlaw.

To say that Li Cheng's defense is not good, the offense also makes the fans very dissatisfied. As a shooter, he didn't even take advantage of an open shot. He has played seven games for the Pacers and has averaged just 4.8 fouls and 0.3 points per game. This time he was able to play, thanks to injuries to Daniels and Stephen Graham.

And Jim O'Brien, instructed by the team's owner Simon, to "try to give the Chinese in the team as much time as possible." In this way, Li Cheng can appear on the field today. Otherwise, he will either not be in the 12-man squad for the game, or he will sit next to the water cooler and watch the game.

Li Cheng was knocked to the ground by Outlaw, but his teammates didn't seem to see it, and they each returned to defense. Li Cheng got up from the ground, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Jim O'Brien with a gloomy face.

O'Brien made a pause gesture and then prepared his assistant for a substitution.

When he ended, Li Cheng was treated as air by everyone. No one came up to hug him, no one came to give him a high-five, and O'Brien didn't even bother to look at him.

Li Cheng came to his seat next to the water dispenser, covered his face with a towel, and leaned back in his chair. He didn't listen to what the coach said afterwards, and he didn't even dare to imagine what he was going to do after the game.

Today is February 7th, the second day of the Chinese New Year, and I think my father and mother should be watching their own games! Just this table, I'm afraid it will disappoint everyone! The corners of Li Cheng's mouth moved, but his heart twitched fiercely.

Until now, he has not had a permanent residence in Indianapolis, and he has been living in the home of teammate Danny Granger.

Mark Boyle is a full-time commentator for Pacers Radio, who has been covering games for the Pacers since the 1988-1989 season, and is one of the NBA's most famous and veteran commentators. Today, this bald head can't sit still, and he can't stand Li Cheng's appearance either.

"How did this Chinese come from? He was like a baby in front of Otero. It's ridiculous, we paid some cash for this guy. This guy is positioned as a shooter, but will he be the next Miller? It's hilarious, I suspect those guys (the Pacers uniforms) were kicked in the head by donkeys? I'm afraid this Chinese doesn't even have the level of NBDL! Mark Boyle said without mercy.

The fans at home were even more unkind, a short and fat middle-aged man said: "East Asian sick man, you are not suitable for the NBA, you should go back to China." ”

Another thin man said: "I also saw that the Chinese media compared him to 'Chinese Miller', which is simply a great insult to Miller." ”

Lee is now in a situation like a rat crossing the street, with the Pacers losing 19 of their last 25 games. And their 9-game losing streak hasn't ended yet, and it seems that they are not far from a 10-game losing streak. In such a situation, can the fans not be angry? Lee Cheng took on a lot of pressure for the team's head coach, Mr. O'Brien.

The great Chinese media bragged about Li Cheng's announcement of his participation in the draft, and many onlookers who did not know the truth also had high expectations for him.

"His limit is the sky."

"China's 'Miller' will lead the Pacers out of the predicament."

"Chinese defenders will eventually occupy a place in the world."

In addition, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and Li Cheng participated in the draft together this year. The emergence of three Chinese players, two of whom are China's most scarce defenders, has raised the morale of the Chinese media.

"This is the golden age of Chinese basketball."

"Chinese basketball is expected to hit the medal at home at the Olympics."

Such remarks continue to come out of the mouths of the Chinese media, but the reality has slapped them.

Yi Jianlian started high and went low, Sun Yue didn't sign with the Lakers at all, and Li Cheng was drafted by Philadelphia and then rushed to Indiana. In fact, Li Cheng himself knew that it was his agent who found the Pacers and took great pains to change this contract.

The Pacers are not interested in his ability, but in his nationality. This season, the Pacers have no big ambitions, and it is because they choose to sign a Chinese circle for some money.

This year's Chinese players are collectively weak, and the consequences of the Chinese media's nonsense are all on them. Sun Yue was okay, he didn't come at all. Yi Jianlian's appearance is not unsightly, and now only Li Cheng has no achievements, and he is also burdened with more pressure, and he himself is still burdened with pressure from his family.

"Hey! Look, that Chinese's shoulder seems to be twitching, won't cry! ”

"Haha! Actually crying nose? Sure enough, it's the sick man of East Asia! ”

At this moment, Li Cheng really wanted to cry. He felt his pressure mounting, and he didn't know when he was going to break down. But the pride in his heart didn't allow him to fail like this, and if he was allowed to roll back from the NBA like this, it would be worse than death.

After entering the NBA, he chose the number 23, which he wanted to give him a little luck, but ...... The reality is very cruel, so cruel that people dare not look at it directly.

The NBA is a cruel world, but Li Cheng wants to stay, even if it is to become a middle class!

He felt the number behind him burning his back, a number known to the world that knew the NBA. He wanted to fight like a man, he wanted to stand on that field and find a sky of his own. However, ability and talent are not compensated for by a strong heart.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his head.

"Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life, or a man who stands up to the sky?" The voice was cold, but it was majestic.

"Hallucinations?" Li Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly, he was hallucinating because of too much pressure. However, he still said silently in his heart: "If you can choose, who wants to be a coward for the rest of your life?" ”

"In that case, I give you the Top of the Basketball (Player Edition) system. With this system, you should work hard and never give up on yourself. ”

This voice sounded in Li Cheng's head again, and then Li Cheng only felt that the wristband he had been wearing made a strange tremble, and then returned to calm.

"Am I really hallucinating?" Li Cheng touched the wristband on his left hand, and it didn't seem to have changed.

Suddenly, a curtain of light appeared in his head. There are three options on the light curtain - shooting, playmaking, and breaking.

Li Cheng didn't know what it was, but he subconsciously chose to shoot.

From the first time he played basketball, he had a special love of shooting. In his opinion, it is the most labor-saving and efficient way to score. And every time he shoots a shot, there is a kind of thrill of a killer hidden in the shadows suddenly attacking and controlling the enemy's death. For this reason, he practiced shooting hard, and his shooting posture was also very handsome, and his handsome shooting posture once won him many cheers from women. It's just that after entering the NBA, his handsome shooting posture has become the object of ridicule.

"The posture is beautiful, what's the use of not being able to throw?"

"It's just a waste of gold and jade. What's the use of that? Not even a soft egg shooter. ”

Such remarks also put Li Cheng under more pressure, so this time three options suddenly appeared, and although he didn't know what it was for, he still chose to shoot.

Then, the content on the light curtain changed.

"Choose the 'Shooting' specialization to get the skill shooting star and the perfect body."

"Shooting Star -- Thirty percent base shooting percentage in any situation."

"Perfect Body: Your body becomes perfect and evolves with it."

After Li Cheng browsed this light curtain, the content on the light curtain changed again. This time there is a column of skills, a total of 7 layers, 3 on each layer. However, these skills are all dark, which means that he can't learn them yet, and he can't learn them yet.

As a person who is very keen on online games, Li Cheng is no stranger to such pictures, just after browsing it, he already knows it in his heart.

His attention shifted to the court as the second quarter drew to a close, with the Pacers trailing the Trail Blazers by 14 points 42-56 at home.

The light curtain in his mind dissipated, and when he thought of the light curtain, the light curtain reappeared.

After confirming that this qiē was not a hallucination, Li Cheng slowly noticed the changes in his body. He has the illusion that he can shoot 80 percent from the field when unguarded. You know, in the past, he made a backward jump shot, and it would be good to have a shooting rate of 20%.

And Li Cheng also felt that his body seemed to have undergone some changes. It was an indescribable feeling, but he just felt that there were many actions that he couldn't do before.

With this feeling, Li Cheng's long-lost self-confidence also returned.

"Alas! Since Miller's retirement, the Indiana Pacers have not been the walkers they used to be. When will we be able to get our souls back? There was a hint of loneliness in Mark Boyce's voice.

After prosperity and glory, loneliness is always inevitable. Even the purple-gold aristocratic Los Angeles Lakers can't guarantee that they will continue to be brilliant. However, the glory that the Indianas have spent thirty years waiting for has already dissipated, and I wonder where their next glory will be?!

At halftime, Indiana relied on a breakaway from Danny Granger and a buzzer-beating three-pointer to cut the deficit to nine points.

After the whistle blew at halftime, Li Cheng stood up and prepared to return to the locker room. After taking the towel from the staff, Granger ran to Li Cheng's side, "Hey! Lee, are you alright? ”

Li Cheng's heart warmed slightly, and he smiled: "It's okay." "After being with the Pacers for so long, only Granger had a good relationship with him. Everyone else looked like they were ignoring him.

"Hey! Don't be discouraged, man. As long as you work hard, you can always get ahead. Saying that, Granger punched Li Cheng in the chest, which was regarded as encouragement.

Li Cheng touched the place where his chest had just been beaten by Granger, and a warm current flowed in his heart, "Danny, I won't give up, I will definitely stick to it." ”
