At halftime, the Pacers and Bucks ended in a tie.

It was a surprise to many that these two teams would be tied at 56 at half-time. You must know that now in the Eastern Conference rankings, the Pacers are firmly in the eighth place in the East, they have 3 more wins than the ninth-place Nets, and only 1 win short of the seventh-place Hawks.

The Bucks are now only 13th in the East, and they are only two wins more than second-to-last New York. Miami, who are in last place, have been in a bad position under the wise guidance of Pat Riley, and it is no longer possible for them to rise from the vice-squad position.

Sometimes rankings don't tell the strength of a team, but the difference between the two teams' wins is so big that it is enough to explain the difference in the strength of the two teams. But now these two teams have ended in a draw at the end of the first half.

In the first half, the Pacers didn't have the slightest problem, they played very well. Li Cheng and Granger teamed up to score 31 points, and there was no problem with that number.

The Pacers didn't have the slightest problem playing, and they were tied at 56 with the Bucks, which only shows that the Bucks were in very good shape today, and they played more than they usually did today.

In fact, that's what it is, everyone can see it. The Bucks' Chinese rookie, power forward Yi Jianlian, played very violently today. He had 10 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first half. From this number jù, it can be seen that

"What happened to all the Chinese rookies this year? Outbursts after outbreaks? Could Yi's outbreak today be the beginning of his rise? Is there any magic in that mysterious ancient country of the East? Barkley said. His words are just to attract people's attention, and this kind of "bragging" does not have to pay taxes.

Van Gundy obviously won't continue Barkley's words, "I was very excited about today's Yi Biaoxiàn, I think it was very excited to meet my compatriots on the court!" Li's rise is legendary, and as a Chinese, Yi's experience should be deeper, and his outbreak today is not surprising. ”

"Hey, hey! Let's look at the second half, what kind of performance Yi will have! These two Chinese are very good today, and if it continues like this, this game can really be called a 'Chinese derby'. ”

Barkley and Van Gundy were joking here, and the two commentators of Celestial Empire 5 were not idle. However, the core of the content of their words is even more inseparable from Li Cheng and Yi Jianlian. On the Donkey Fight Forum, Li Cheng and Yi Jianlian occupied the main section.

In the first half of this game alone, there were a lot of topics to talk about, the main thing was Yi Jianlian's sudden outburst.

"With the rise of China's wolf king, Chinese basketball will reach the pinnacle of world basketball."

"Li Cheng, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, and Chinese basketball's Olympic journey is exciting when I think about it."

"Da Kongyi has such strength, he has potential, and today he is the expression of his accumulation."

All sorts of remarks filled the donkey pounce forum, while Li Cheng was in the locker room with a copy of the technical statistics study.

16 points, 2 assists, 2 fouls and 2 turnovers, this is all Li Cheng counted in the first half.

"It's all 2!" Li Cheng shook his head helplessly. He didn't know how his comprehensive score was better than Yi Jianlian's, but he knew that he had to continue to work hard, he didn't allow any accidents, any accident was a threat to his life!

Granger put his head in front of Li Cheng and said, "Why are you so concerned about technical statistics today?" ”

"Just take a look, I haven't studied much before, but take a good look today, it seems to be quite interesting." Li Cheng replied casually.

Granger looked at Li Cheng suspiciously, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he didn't say anything more.

"Lee, that compatriot of yours is amazing. Has he always been so good? Murphy said coldly.

Li Cheng was embarrassed and said: "I didn't know him before, I don't know!" ”

Murphy nodded, and they chatted casually again, and O'Brien didn't make any special arrangements, and the time passed quickly.

As the second half of the game was about to begin, the Pacers players were once again gathered around to cheer each other on.

Say in unison, "Victory!" Then they ran out of the locker room.

When they appeared, Li Cheng and Granger nodded to each other as a greeting.

Fans who went to the toilet and bought drinks at half-time also returned, sitting in their seats and waiting for the game to start.

The referee didn't make them wait long, and with a whistle, the game resumed.

The Pacers' style of play hasn't changed much, and O'Brien has never been a coach who is good at adjusting in games. If his team hadn't fallen into headwinds, he would never have made any changes to the team's general direction. However, the Bucks' offense has changed.

Reed, who is also a shooter, almost gave up his shot, and he used breakaways and low-post singles to help the Bucks' points grow little by little.

Li Cheng is obviously very uncomfortable with such a change, he needs to often fall low to defend Reed, and Li Cheng's low post defensive ability is really not to be seen. It's only natural to be blown up.

The Bucks' strategy was very obvious, and they kept working together to get Reed and Li Cheng in pairs.

And as long as the Pacers' interior assists in defense, Reed's pass can find Yi Jianlian. Today's Yi Jianlian is really possessed by the wolf king, and he is extremely violent. Either Foster or Murphy is no match for Yi Jianlian in a one-on-one situation.

The Bucks suppressed the Pacers on the offensive end, and the Pacers' rhythm was completely taken away by the Bucks. For a while, they could only drag the score hard, so as not to be taken away by the opponent's wave of offensive highs.

Through guò's continuous blocking, Reed once again faced Li Cheng. He dribbles, and he doesn't go to the basket, he goes to the low post. Li Cheng could only stubbornly follow him to a low position.

Granger wanted to come to help defend, but Reed rushed before Granger arrived, hit Li Cheng twice with his butt in a row, and then made a shooting feint to completely shake Li Cheng away, and then leaned forward sharply and jumped up, unusually easily with a cricket ball, scoring two more points for the Bucks.

67-61, the Pacers were pulled away by six points within three minutes of the start of the second half. O'Brien couldn't stand it anymore while sitting on the sidelines, and decisively made a pause gesture.

When the players left the game, Reed, who had been next to Li Cheng, suddenly said: "Boy, you have more to learn!" It's not okay to just shoot. ”

Reed is also positioned as a pitcher, but his breakthrough and status singles ability are good. However, Li Cheng shook his head and said, "It's enough to deal with you!" ”
