The Indiana Pacers lost the second game against the Boston Celtics almost without any suspense, and now everyone is beginning to speculate whether the Pacers will give the Celtics a head-on blow after returning to their home court.

Much of the media is now divided into two factions, with one side believing that the loss in Game 2 was the beginning of the Pacers' rout. The other side sees the Pacers' second game as a temporary concession and will give their opponents a head-on attack at home.

Those who think the Pacers will continue to rout, their reasoning is simple. Because the difference in strength between the two teams is there, the Pacers' first win is, in their opinion, just "stealing" a victory.

And those who think that the Pacers will be at home and give the Celtics a head-on blow are because of their trust in Li Cheng. Their trust in Li Cheng's potential. "How do you know if this kid is going to break out suddenly?"

When a team has a player who can change the game, the final outcome of a game can be a bit confusing.

In addition, there is another reason why this school of thought that the Pacers will give the Celtics a head-on attack at home. That's the Pacers' tactics, and since the start of the playoffs, the Pacers' bizarre tactics have emerged one after another.

When they were in the absence of Granger, they had promoted Li Cheng's position to the outside. Let Lee Sung play the No. 1 position and put Tinsley in the shooting guard position. They gave up their height advantage in the backcourt and used the bodies of Tinsley and Daniels to force down the Cavaliers' defense, and used Li Cheng to sit on the perimeter and tie the team together.

After their return in the last two games, the tacit cooperation between Li Cheng and Granger made the Cavaliers miserable.

Then in the first game against the Celtics, the Pacers used a "run-and-shoot" tactic that surprised everyone. There is no specific core of personnel in this set of tactics, and all of them are connected by a kind of angry, crazy emotion. This can be said to be an unprecedented initiative, which may provide a new tactical idea for today's basketball world.

Perhaps this set of tactics does not become a universal and conventional tactic. But such tactics can work wonders in certain games.

All day on the 22nd, reporters and media were debating this issue. Everyone argues endlessly, but no matter how much everyone argues now, it will not come to fruition. Because no matter which way you look at it, everybody makes a lot of sense.

On the night of the 22nd, Li Cheng was lying on the bed in the hotel and texting Jenny. Both of them don't seem to like talking on the phone, and it seems like texting can have a really nice feeling.

"Tomorrow your home game, you must win!"

"Don't worry! I'm going to give Celtic a big gift and I think Ray Allen will love it. Li Cheng sent a text message. At the same time, there was a sinister smile on his face.

At this moment, Ray Allen inexplicably felt a cold wind blowing.

"I didn't turn on the air conditioner! Why is it so cold all of a sudden! Ray Allen was in his hotel room, shivering.

For this game, O'Brien can be regarded as painstaking. He really did what those media said, and he changed the Pacers' tactical play for this game.

In one round of the playoffs, O'Brien has made his team change three ways of playing. At this time, he also had to sigh that Li Cheng, a player, was really a treasure. He doesn't look like a rookie at all, but rather like a veteran who has been in the league for more than ten years.

this game. O'Brien and Hart discussed it and made a tactical retro. He brought the Pacers back to the Miller era, using a shooter's off-ball run, pulling and running back to open up space for the team. Then make the team get some chances.

However, O'Brien made some changes to this tactic, and he maximized Li Cheng's individual offensive firepower as much as possible while allowing Lee Cheng to open up space for the team.

Speaking of which, O'Brien's tactics that he is prepared to let the Pacers use are fairly straightforward. It's a no-ball run through guò Li Cheng. Or shoot the basket yourself, or help the team score. In fact, the person who put the most pressure on this tactic was Li Cheng.

O'Brien had a serious conversation with Li Cheng when he was preparing to use this set of tactics. Li Cheng patted his chest and promised. I will definitely be able to accomplish this task.

They started training on this style of play that day, and in fact, after a morning of running-in, the Pacers are already familiar with this style of play. Because the most critical character in this style of play is Li Cheng, as long as Li Cheng can bear it, there will be no problem.

At that time, O'Brien was very satisfied with the team's training results, and he looked at Li Cheng differently. It's like looking at a mountain of gold, and the potential of this mountain seems to be endless.

"This is a player who can adapt to any style of play!" Hart and O'Brien sighed at the same time.

If Li Cheng knew what O'Brien and Hart were thinking, he would be embarrassed even if he was thick-skinned.

Because he was able to adapt to O'Brien's tactics this time, it was mainly due to the "top of the basketball system". Because he changed his level 20 skill, he forgot about the "dazzled" skill for a while, and then chose the skill "Unpredictable" (elusive running is unguardable).

With the skill of guò, Li Cheng is like a ghost on the court. No matter how much you try to keep an eye on it, he can appear in some inexplicable places. And then he comes into the position where your defense is weakest and most uncomfortable. If you try to make up for him, you'll miss someone. If you ignore him, he'll shoot himself.

……

The match, which took place on May 23, was broadcast by a wide range of Chinese fans on CCTV.

The 23rd of U.S. time also happens to be a Saturday in China time. As a result, countless Chinese fans squatted in front of the TV that day, waiting for the game to arrive.

At this time, the picture of the game has cut to the center of Conseus, Yang Yu is holding a plate of melon seeds, making a pot of tea, and sitting comfortably on the sofa at home waiting for the start of the official game.

Looking at the familiar faces of Zhang Cheng and Yu Jia on the TV, Yang Yu lit a cigarette for himself.

"I've been suffocated these days, and it's a shame that I couldn't see the live broadcast of the first such wonderful game!" Yang Yu muttered to himself with some regret.

"I really hope that the Pacers can give the opponent a head-on blow in this game!" Then, Yang Yu said with some expectation.

On the coffee table in front of Yang Yu, there was also a laptop. This is what he uses to watch the game and communicate with the members of the group.

At this time, the news in the group was swiping fast. Yang Yu looked at the chat box that instantly filled the screen with messages, and the satisfaction in his heart arose.

"We created all of this! I don't know if what Brother Xinglin told me can be done, if our website gets Li Ben to join, then it can really make the website bigger. Yang Yu took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, but he had already fallen into a burst of thought.

And just when Yang Yu was thinking about life, the third game between the Pacers and the Celtics began.

On the Celtics side, the person in charge of defending Li Cheng is still Ray Allen, and the first offense after the opening is the Pacers' possession. At this time, Li Cheng and Ray Allen were already intimately together.

"You're always so close to me, isn't your wife jealous?" Li Cheng laughed.

Ray Allen also smiled: "It seems that your kid is in good shape today!" And the strength to tease me. ”

"Isn't that? If you've been defending me today, you'll be pleasantly surprised. ”

Ray Allen looked at Li Cheng's flickering gaze, and his heart tightened for a while, "Did the walkers have any tricks today?" ”

Lei San's self-talk in his heart was not over, but he had already discovered that Li Cheng, who was still under his nose just now, was gone.

"Where?" Ray Allen immediately began to look for Li Cheng's figure. At this time, Li Cheng had already run to the back of his side, which was a blind spot in his perspective.

"Good boy!" Ray Allen immediately followed. However, Li Cheng changed the pace of his run when Ray Allen was about to catch up with him. It's not a single change, he actually changed his running rhythm three times in a short period of time, and Ray Allen couldn't judge where Li Cheng would go for a while.

At this moment, Li Cheng had already completed the action of turning around and facing the frame with a jump. Granger's pass was like a meteor smashing into Li Cheng. Li Cheng catches the ball and jumps, and his movements are still elegant and chic.

The basketball hit steadily, and there was a wave of cheers on the scene.

Indiana fans haven't seen Li Cheng's shot on the scene for a long time, and they miss such a wonderful shot.

Pete and his brothers held aloft a huge poster of Li Cheng and loudly gave their most blazing cheers for their miracle child.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Beat him up! The greatest shooter in the league can only be found in Indiana! ”

Some shouts reached Li Cheng's ears, and Li Cheng smiled and turned to face the fans who raised their arms and cheered. He waved at the fans, and an instant louder cheer swept in.

And some female fans screamed excitedly under Li Cheng's smile.

He smiled at me.

"He's obviously smiling at me."

But Ray Allen looked at Li Cheng a little helplessly, "In just one day, how did you improve so much?" ”

"This is for you, Aaron-senpai." Li Cheng's voice like a good student gave Ray Allen goosebumps.

"Tonight, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy!" Ray Allen thought weakly. (To be continued......)
