At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers trailed the Cavaliers by exactly 10 points. Dunleavy Jr. didn't find his feeling immediately after being replaced, he was a little overly excited, so a few shots didn't help the Pacers close the score, but he still helped the Pacers stabilize the situation, at least his play helped Lee take some pressure and didn't let the Pacers collapse.

Li Cheng sat on the bench with a heavy heart, and he almost completely saw no hope of victory.

"Let's take one step at a time!" Li Cheng sighed in his heart.

Li Cheng turned his gaze to Dunleavy Jr., and he knew that he was the only one who could help him on the outside at this time.

"You don't have to treat me like a human being when you're out of this field, but on this field, we're teammates." Li Cheng looked at little Dunleavy with a blazing light in his eyes.

Little Dunleavy looked up, his gaze colliding with Li Cheng.

"I'll do my best." Little Dunleavy said lightly.

"Good!" Li Cheng thought about it for a long time, but in the end he only spit out this one word. His relationship with Dunleavy Jr. was indeed quite complicated, and he wanted to say a lot, but in the end he could only say this one word.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Tinsley sat on the sidelines to rest, and the person who partnered with Li Cheng in the backcourt was Rush.

Facing the Cavaliers' bench lineup, Li Cheng finally felt that he was bound up. He scored consecutive shots to narrow the gap to four points in one go.

Brown shook his head helplessly on the sidelines, "If you want to restrict Li Cheng, the price you have paid is too great." Even if you win this round, it will be a miserable victory, and the next round will ...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore. ”

The Cavaliers began to make changes, and the Pacers made changes with them. The strongest line-ups of both sides were once again put on the table. Dunleavy Jr. was still entrusted with the task, and Foster sat on the sidelines watching the game with some concern.

Li Cheng's desperateness and madness have affected the whole team, and all his teammates don't want to lose this game.

"Only three minutes into the second quarter, both teams put their main forces on the table. It's a decisive battle! ”

"If the Cavaliers lose 2-0 on the road, it's very unlikely that they will want to turn the game around. After all, the next game. Granger returned. ”

"If the Pacers win and they head to Cleveland with a 2-0 overall score, their advantage is huge. With Granger's return, combined with the aftermath of a home winning streak, the Pacers will definitely play a game with momentum. At that point, the knights will be in real trouble. ”

"So this game, both teams don't want to lose, they both know the importance of this game."

"Yes, this game may be the difference between life and death for this entire series."

The narrator's analysis is very good, which is why O'Brien put so much pressure on Li Cheng's shoulders. It is also necessary to take risks and send an unconventional lineup. Because...... The stakes are just too great.

With a win, the Pacers will have a huge advantage. Losing is just giving up a home advantage. It's just that such a result is too much of a load on Li Cheng. However, Li Cheng has the "top of the basketball system", no matter how strict the overdraft and fatigue are, as long as he sleeps a night, he can fully recover. If O'Brien knew this. The last vestiges of worry in his heart were gone.

This time Dunleavy Jr. played again, and his mentality has calmed down a lot.

In the heart of every professional footballer, there are two sacred words - teammates. However, it is very difficult for some players to recognize a teammate. The relationship between these needs to be dealt with. It's really very difficult. But if you get them to recognize your teammates, they'll fight for you on the pitch.

No brothers, no basketball!

Brother may be a bit exaggerated, but there are really a lot of players who work the pitch for the sake of their teammates. As long as. He approves of you.

Before, little Dunleavy had never recognized Li Cheng. He looked down on Li Cheng in his heart, but since Li Cheng relied on his own appearance. After conquering the fans step by step. Little Dunleavy was finally convinced, and this time Li Cheng said those words to him again, which finally allowed him to break the last barrier with Li Cheng.

Although this could not stop Dunleavy Jr.'s determination to leave Indiana, it was able to allow him to work well with Li Cheng in Indiana's final years. Dunleavy Jr.'s decision to leave Indiana was a matter of face, but his good cooperation with Li Cheng was a matter of faith. These are two issues, not contradictory.

The Cavaliers were still defending Li Cheng according to the routine of the first quarter, but this time they miscalculated. Because he completely calmed down and tried his best to win against Li Cheng, little Dunleavy is still very powerful. Maybe Dunleavy Jr. can't do what Granger did, but he also made up for the impact of Granger's absence on a certain stage, which is enough.

Li Cheng was trapped, and he made a through pass and directly found Dunleavy Jr., who was released.

Dunleavy Jr. didn't feel good in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers didn't care too much, but this time Dunleavy Jr. made the Cavaliers miscalculate, and his mid-range shot hit the rim accurately.

Of course, this time Dunleavy Jr.'s goal didn't make the Cavaliers feel urgent and daring. Because their offense has not been affected, the Pacers have been in a state of exhaustion, and Dunleavy Jr.'s goal seems to them to be nothing more than a stroke of genius.

But what happened next was not acceptable to the Cavaliers, Dunleavy Jr. continued to receive passes from Li Cheng, and he hit two consecutive shots to directly help the Pacers narrow the gap to 2 points. 、

The Cavaliers began to pay attention to Dunleavy Jr.'s defense, but this time, Li Cheng didn't pass the ball again, and his mid-range jumper helped the Pacers continue to hold the gap at two points.

Then Brown called a timeout, and he emphasized the team's defense and didn't change the lineup.

In fact, if Brown chooses to change the lineup at this time, only letting Ilgoskas guard the interior and send a small lineup, it is really possible to directly collapse the Pacers. Unfortunately, Brown, who was seeking stability, didn't do that. Perhaps, this is the reason why he can be a good assistant coach next to Popovich, but not a good head coach. He didn't dare to take risks!

The Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers almost returned to the rhythm of their last game, and you had a lot of fun going back and forth, but none of the teams could pull the score away.

The race went on and everyone felt like the trajectory of the game was getting closer to the previous race.

The third quarter ended with a score of 78-76, with the visitors in front and the home team in the back.

"Dad, will there be overtime in this game?" In the east stand of the stadium, a little cute baby wearing Li Cheng's jersey asked in a milky voice.

This little cute baby is Pete Ella's son, little Ella.

Pete pinched little Ella's face dotingly, and said, "No, Miracle Child, the game will be finished in regular time." ”

"Hmmm! The Miracle Son is the God of War, and he is the most powerful player in the NBA. Little Ella pulled the jersey, which looked like a "dress", and jumped on the seats in the arena.

However, when the whistle blew in the final quarter of the game, the situation on the field changed dramatically.

Cleveland suddenly changed formations, leaving one Ben Wallace on the court to guard the inside, everyone else was small, and even Ben Wallace's height itself was not too tall.

The scene became a PK between small lineups, and O'Brien's face changed abruptly. He knew the shortcomings of his lineup, but Brown had not changed the formation before, and his heart had been put down, but after more than a quarter of thinking, Brown had already reacted.

"I hope they can hold me back!" O'Brien's face sank like water, and he could only pray in his heart.

But God seemed to be napping and did not hear O'Brien's prayers.

LeBron James' sudden outburst almost knocked the Pacers to a crumble.

Starting with a three-pointer, LeBron James scored eight points in a row. His outburst led the Cavaliers to a 12-2 offensive surge, and the margin was suddenly widened to 12 points.

The fans' hearts tugged at once, and they began to worry, Li Cheng took the Pacers to fight until now in this game, could it be that the scale of victory was tilted in these 3 minutes?

"Hey! Guys, shh ”

From this moment on, as long as the Cavaliers held the ball, there were earth-shattering boos in the Coseth Arena. As soon as the Pacers held the ball, the boos in the arena immediately turned into cheers. The smoothness of this rhythmic transformation is really a bit unexpected by people.

Perhaps it was the fan boos that played a role, and the Cavaliers' offensive highs were suppressed. But the scene fell back into anxiety, the score was not forced to close, and the Pacers and Cavaliers still had a 10-point gap, what should I do?

The hearts of the fans are still tightly clenched, but they can only support their team through guò voices.

"10 minutes, 8 minutes, the walker is running out of time." The narrator said in a low voice.

In this game, everyone can see Li Cheng's hard work. Even if it is an irrelevant person, seeing Li Cheng's paranoia and Li Cheng's desperateness, he will feel a little distressed. None of them wanted Li Cheng to lose, they all wanted to see Li Cheng win.

"Can the demonic power on Li Cheng's body help the team turn the tables?" O'Brien began to worry. However, he still did not replace Li Cheng, perhaps this approach was a little cruel to Li Cheng, because Li Cheng's physical fitness had once again reached the limit. But O'Brien still has no intention of replacing Li Cheng, maybe he still has a trace of fantasy in his heart!

O'Brien frowned tightly, he still had fantasies in his heart, and he also hoped that the magical, bewitching Chinese man could help the team complete the reversal. (To be continued......)
