O'Brien's idea of calling this timeout was mainly to lay out the team's defensive strategy, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his team's offense, and the team's offensive problems were mainly dragged down by the defensive end.

When O'Brien finished arranging the tactical board, Li Cheng said, "Coach, I have an idea. ”

"What thoughts?" Li Cheng is now one of the tactical cores of the team, and O'Brien still gives him the corresponding respect.

Li Cheng paused, organized his language a little, and said: "I don't think we should make changes on the defensive end, the first thing we need to change is our offense." ”

"Oh?" O'Brien looked at Li Cheng suspiciously.

At this time, the time for a short timeout came, but O'Brien did not hesitate to call another long timeout, which can also be seen from here that he attaches great importance to Li Cheng.

"Milwaukee controlled the tempo because they suddenly changed the tempo while attacking. At the same time, Reed is on the outside, and Yi is on the inside. They bloom inside and out, and we are very uncomfortable. So my thinking is, can we be like them, staring at one point when attacking, and make a breakthrough from here to disrupt their whole rhythm. Li Cheng poured beans into a bamboo tube and said all his thoughts.

O'Brien went through Li Cheng's words in his head, "Do you have a specific plan?" ”

"I'll make it easy."

After a few seconds of thinking, O'Brien nodded, "Good!" Just give it a try, and then he took the tactical board and made a simple arrangement. ”

Lee's opinion will be taken on board by O'Brien, and the rest of the Pacers players won't be surprised. With the number of jù he now contributes every night, he is already one of the team's most consistent scoring points. The Pacers are now firmly in eighth place in the East, and Li Cheng has contributed a lot. A guard who has averaged around 25 points per game recently is good enough to enjoy that treatment.

After the timeout ended, the game resumed.

"The Pacers will definitely make changes when they take a timeout, and whether their changes will have an effect or not will have a big impact on the direction of tonight's game."

"Just now we saw that Li Cheng had been talking, he should have been giving O'Brien advice, and in the end, it seems that O'Brien also adopted his opinion."

"Lee Cheng is now in a very high position with the Pacers, which is very good news. He's now the core of the Pacers' backcourt, and his voice is also very high, which will help him in the future. ”

Celestial Empire 5 is analyzing, but the Pacers have already shown the changes they made during the timeout.

The walkers kept covering Li Cheng, and whoever Yi Jianlian followed, he pulled out to cover Li Cheng.

After several running cooperation, Li Cheng finally found a one-on-one opportunity with Yi Jianlian on the left side of the court. Granger, who feinted with the ball on the other side, quickly found an opportunity to throw the ball to Li Cheng, who held the ball and faced Yi Jianlian's defense.

Now everyone in the league knows that Li Cheng can't dribble, and his shooting percentage is very terrible. As a compatriot, Yi Jianlian also knew Li Cheng specifically, and he was very aware of Li Cheng's weaknesses and strengths. Yi Jianlian pressed up decisively, he had the advantage of height, and he was confident to prevent Li Cheng's shot.

Li Cheng is also familiar with the compatriot in front of him, and Yi Jianlian's assistance has always been his weakness. In the international arena, Yi Jianlian can also stay on the inside, wait for the opponent to break through, and then block. But in the NBA, where there is a "defensive three-second", Yi Jianlian's trick will not work.

In the NBA, Yi Jianlian was often forced to pull out to defend, so that his weaknesses were magnified.

Now his abilities have improved, but his consciousness has not. He can rely on his body to give what he needs on the inside, but after he and Li Cheng form a misplaced defense, his improved ability can only enhance his foot movement and bounce.

Li Cheng had thought of this a long time ago, and he quickly made a feint to shoot. Yi Jianlian was bent on preventing Li Cheng's shot, and was directly clicked by Li Cheng's feint.

Watching Yi Jianlian jump up, Li Cheng jumped backwards with his legs, and his signature backward jumper shot shot again.

Yi Jianlian's ability to jump continuously has been strengthened a lot after being strengthened, and he jumped up again after landing on the ground for the first time. At this time, Li Cheng's shot had already been shot, and Yi Jianlian's fingertips almost touched the basketball.

Just when Yi Jianlian choked his wrist, Li Cheng's action did not end. He exerted force at the waist, stretched his shooting hand forward, hit Yi Jianlian's hand, and then fell to the floor. Li Cheng's fall was because his backward jump shot angle was too large, and inertia guided his fall. But in the eyes of others, it seems that it was because Yi Jianlian hit him, so he fell.

"Drop!" The referee blew the whistle and blew for a foul on Yi Jianlian. At this time, the basketball thrown by Li Cheng had accurately fallen into the basket.

Li Cheng was pulled up by Granger, but he still had a bitter expression on his face.

Yi Jianlian looked dazed and innocent, Li Cheng walked to his side and said in Chinese: "UAE, each for its own master, don't go to your heart." ”

Yi Jianlian, who understood in an instant, nodded and said, "I don't blame you." ”

Onlookers don't know how much effort Yi Jianlian used, but both of them knew. Li Cheng was afraid that the referee would not blow this foul, so there was a little element of acting. Then Li Cheng went to Yi Jianlian, also afraid that his performance would destroy the relationship between them.

Standing at the free throw line, Li Cheng scored the ball very steadily.

The Pacers came back with three points immediately after the timeout, and their changes on the offensive end have already been seen by some, and then everyone wants to see what they do on the defensive end.

However, in the next few defenses of the Pacers, no one saw any changes in them.

Li Cheng was still forced to defend Reed, and the other assistant defense players would help defend when they had time to come over to assist in defense, and simply give up if they didn't have time to assist in defense.

After a few offensive and defensive transitions, everyone can see that the Pacers figured out how to attack the Bucks.

The Bucks didn't make any defensive changes either, and they clearly shared the Pacers' ideas.

Li Cheng's singles success rate of Yi Jianlian is very high, and Reed's success rate of singles Li Cheng is also very high. Both teams are betting that their players will score more points.

"The Pacers' approach of returning the favor with the other really worked, and after Li Cheng assisted Murphy to score this goal, they overtook the score."

"The Bucks haven't called a timeout yet, and it looks like they believe in Reed."

"It can't go on like this! Yi Jianlian is about to be defeated in his defense against Li Cheng again and again! Li Cheng faced Yi Jianlian and hit 4 of his 5 shots. ”

The Bucks still didn't call a timeout, and the game ended with one minute left in the third quarter, and the Pacers were already ahead by three points. Let's see what kind of score the two teams will maintain in the final minute and enter the final quarter! ”
