Chapter 90: The momentum is like a rainbow
Li Cheng's ball leaned back at a very large angle, and the arc of the ball shot was extremely high, which seemed to be going in the direction of the roof of the stadium. But it was this ball that ended up accurately falling into the basket.
"The three-pointer that pressed the whistle, this goal actually went in." Mark Boyce looked at it with some disbelief.
The director immediately cut to the replay of this goal, and Mark Boyce still couldn't believe it when he saw it for the second time, "I have to say, there is a lot of luck in this goal. Then he excitedly said: "But competitive games, sometimes it takes a little luck, and I can feel that Lady Luck is beckoning to our team." ”
Next, LeBron James continued to attack with the ball, and today he seemed to be at a dead end.
Maybe in the face of all the people in the alliance, he can maintain a normal heart, but in the face of Li Cheng, he really can't be calm. In the first half, James relied on his personal offensive frenzy and once led the Pacers by 17 points. But in the second half, Li Cheng began to play, and after his own state and body began to decline, the score difference was rapidly narrowed again.
Looking at the narrowed point difference, James was even more anxious. But the more anxious he is, the more he wants to come by himself, and at this time, after a long period of consumption, the power of singles is not as good as before.
James was suddenly difficult, and the final ball shot was even more difficult, but fortunately, his body was really perverted, and his ability to bounce continuously was extremely strong, and he grabbed the rebound in the front court and made up for the basket.
"Pay attention to the control of backcourt rebounds." Li Cheng yelled at his teammates.
Murphy held out his hand and gestured, "Got it, this time it was just an accident." ”
Foster also nodded, and then silently ran outside the baseline to prepare to serve.
The teammates did not seem to resist Li Cheng's command, and Li Cheng had won the trust of his teammates with his excellent performances one after another.
The Pacers' offense, Li Cheng continued his run. His movement is really as unpredictable as a ghost, and James was once again shaken off by Li Cheng's change of direction and change of speed and rhythm because of the excessive range of movements.
By this time, the Pacers had moved the ball to the interior, and the Cavaliers shrank their defense. In this way, after Li Cheng ran out of the neutral gear, he didn't even have a person to assist in defense. Foster made a very standard passing move, and Li Cheng easily received the basketball.
"Huh!" Li Cheng shot and scored again.
The Pacers' bench, in Indiana's bars, and in the stadium were once again jubilant.
In this quarter of the game, every time Li Cheng scores, it will cause such cheers. Every time he scores, it means that the Pacers have come closer to the score. The momentum of chasing points is a process that everyone is willing to see.
"I went in again." James clapped his hands in annoyance. In this quarter of the game, his defense against Li Cheng was almost unsuccessful.
Mike Brown, who was sitting on the sidelines, finally couldn't sit still anymore and called a timeout. And at this time, he began to struggle again, and he didn't know whether to replace James. This is James's team, replace James at this time, and all James' grievances will be vented on himself. Brown didn't want to take the risk, and after a struggle, he decided to keep James on the court.
In fact, at this time, the whole team of the Pacers can be described as imposing. The open Pacers don't care what lineup the opponent is! As long as you don't restrain me, I'll act like I don't see anything, and the basket is the only goal.
For the rest of the day, the Pacers continued their bombardment. After this timeout, James finally calmed down, and he still organized the team's offense. But that doesn't limit the Pacers' offense.
When the game hit the ninth minute of the third quarter, Brown called a timeout again, and this time he changed the team's tactics. He asked his team to attack, and at this time he wanted his team to play against the Pacers.
But for Mike Brown, who has only learned the defensive skills of Popovic, the team's offensive talent is only marginal.
In several rounds of head-to-head, the Pacers had the upper hand. Among them, Li Cheng is the most eye-catching one.
At the end of the third quarter, Li Cheng shot 10-of-14 and hit two free throws, scoring 22 points. While helping his team to a 74-71 lead, his brilliance completely overshadowed LeBron James.
"Amazing Chinese, our miracle son has created a miracle again!" Mark Boyce shouted: "We should not be afraid when the team faces any adversity, because we have Lee!" This amazing Chinese. ”
The commentator at the scene was also speechless in the face of such a score, watching Li Cheng's crazy 22-point performance, he licked his lips and said: "This Chinese is just a rookie, this is only his first season." He just broke his own single-game assist record in the last game and scored a double-double. In this game, he set a new record for scoring in a single quarter. This is an amazing guy and we have reason to believe that he will have a very beautiful future. ”
Taking advantage of the interval, the narrator continued the topic of Li Cheng. "I heard that the Chinese national team will not recruit him into the national team, I really don't know what their coach thinks, even in the United States, there is a place for such a player in the national team. There have been rumors before that he is going to become an American citizen, and although he has come out to refute the rumors himself, I hope this is true. On behalf of Coach K, I would like to welcome such an amazing player to join. ”
"Imagine that. Wouldn't it be interesting for a Chinese representing the U.S. national team to defeat the Chinese team at the Beijing Olympics? ”
The commentator's words eased the mood of the home team's fans a little, and many fans also imagined such a scene and laughed unconsciously. But when they thought that Li Cheng was their number one enemy, they immediately couldn't laugh again. They were looking forward to the fourth quarter, and they were still looking to get back the score after only three points down.
Some fans who went to buy drinks and go to the toilet quickly took their seats, and tonight's game finally came to the end of the game.
At the beginning of the game, the Pacers were indeed not as strong as in the third quarter. If the game had continued from the third quarter, the Cavaliers might have disarmed by now. But the end of the third quarter did bring the Pacers' momentum to an abrupt halt, and they had to rediscover that feeling of bombardment.
After two unsuccessful attacks, Li Cheng stepped forward again. He forced a mid-range shot to help the Pacers stabilize the situation. Soon the Pacers picked up the momentum they had before, and they hit one beautiful goal after another.
The Cavaliers quickly narrowed the deficit to one point after the start of the final quarter. But as Li Cheng's mid-range shot hit, the Pacers got up, and the point difference was widened.
Wang He, who was on the sidelines, had already retired with a blue face, and he didn't even want to attend the press conference after the game. However, Zhao Xinglin recorded the words of the on-site commentator and sat on the sidelines watching the game with relish.
"These contents should be enough to sober up domestic fans!" Zhao Xinglin thought, and he began to fantasize about the scene of fans waking up because of his report.
Then he secretly said in his heart: "In this case, I can be regarded as having made some achievements, and the old man should not stop me from going my own way!" ”
Zhao Xinglin was thinking about what might happen in the future, and the race came to an end in such an environment.
Lee scored 39 points in the game to help the Pacers turn the game around. And in this context, James's luxury number of 48 points has once again become a dream bubble.
