Li Cheng has always wanted to finish the task first, and now in front of Gordon, the big defensive colander, Li Cheng has a chance.

Cheating fouls and going to the free throw line, Li Cheng's goal now is very clear. And Gordon's self-confidence has been greatly inflated in the process of defending Li Cheng twice.

In the first game, under the defense of Lore Deng, Li Cheng, who was still playing what he wanted, turned out to be dumb under his own defense. Gordon has clearly raised his self-confidence, and he has been more aggressive in defending Lee.

And the more positive effect is obviously the tragedy.

A person who is not good enough to defend at this time, but the defense ** at this time is unprecedentedly strong, all he can do is to be more active when the opponent is ready to take the ball, and more decisive shots and steals.

"Let you say that I can't defend well, and I'll show you one of them." Gordon was furious.

Many bricks will invariably point out one point when commenting on Gordon - the offensive firepower is very ferocious, but the defensive attitude is not positive enough, and there is no strong body and technique. More often than not, he defends with his eyes, and he is the sixth man on the bench, but he is not suitable for starting. Gordon has had enough of the comments from those experts, and this time in front of Li Cheng, he wants to prove himself, even if it's just this game.

Gordon pressed his weight down, spread his hands, and put himself in a defensive stance. Lee received the basket on the left side of the free-throw line, and he pushed his butt against Gordon, apparently as a prelude to his step-back jumper.

After two slaps against Gordon, Li Cheng suddenly changed the rhythm of the dribble, and then quickly turned around. Gordon knew that Li Cheng's backward jumper was very powerful, and when he saw Li Cheng turn around, his body reflex was generally up and down.

"You're reacting too strongly, aren't you?" Li Chengdu was taken aback, but Gordon gave such a big gift, how could he not accept it?

Li Cheng jumped when Gordon fell, and the two of them rose and fell one by one, no matter what Gordon did this time, he couldn't cover Li Cheng.

Gordon seemed to think of something, and his outstretched hand quickly retracted it, but Li Cheng didn't give him a chance at all.

"Can you hide now?" Li Cheng took the initiative to bump into Gordon's hand, and at the same time as the referee blew the whistle, the basketball also smashed on the rebound and bounced into the basket.

"Once he successfully scored three points, this ** Chinese kid is out of control!" Mark Boyce said.

Li Cheng's outburst has attracted countless attention, and in addition to some fans, as well as the head coaches of other NBA teams, there are also a pair of eyes that have also looked at him.

David Stern sits in his president's office with a large LCD TV hanging on the wall playing the Indiana Pacers' home game against the Chicago Bulls.

"What do you think of this Chinese?" Stern asked his deputy, who was sitting next to him.

"Regardless of his complexion, his talent should not be underestimated. As a rookie, I think it's even more terrifying when his peak comes. A skinny middle-aged man next to Stern said, "Coupled with the market behind him, you should definitely hold him firmly in your hands." ”

Stern nodded and said, "Keep an eye on him, and Indiana must be on the playoff roster this season." After thinking about it for a moment, Stern added: "It's better to make it to the second round." ”

Standing at the free throw line, Li Cheng hit a free throw steadily, but Gordon was frustrated by receiving his second foul.

At this time, Gordon seemed to be caught in a strange circle, he didn't want to use his best offense to find face, but wanted to limit Li Cheng on the defensive end.

This offense, the Bulls failed to attack, and the Pacers grabbed the backcourt rebound and began to counterattack. However, the Chicagoans were not slow to defend back, and the Indianas were unable to play a fast attack, and they slowed down their pace to prepare for positional battles.

The ball came to Li Cheng's hand after a lap, and Li Cheng stood outside the three-point line, bending down to hold the ball. He wanted to pass the ball, but Gordon's move took him by surprise.

Gordon knew that Li Cheng's dribbling was not good, and he figured out how to press it, stop Li Cheng from passing, force Li Cheng to dribble, and then seek an opportunity to steal.

But Gordon's snatching was too big, and the space he left was as big as the sea.

At this time, Gordon, who was already frantic, only thought about stealing Li Cheng, but he didn't think about what kind of consequences would be caused after he made such a big pressing move.

Looking at the empty space like the sea, Li Cheng's breakthrough is that no matter how bad it is, he can't be soft at this time. He saw the moment, turned over to Gordon in a half, and dribbled to the basket.

Gordon saw that the ball failed to break the ball, and decisively turned around and pulled Li Cheng. Li Cheng felt that Gordon was pulling him, and jumped decisively and threw out the basketball, and then then Gordon pulled him with force and fell to the ground.

The referee's whistle blew and the Pacers were awarded three free throws.

Li Cheng glanced at Gordon, who looked dazed, walked up to him and said, "Sometimes actors can also mix well in the NBA. ”

Gordon almost gritted his teeth in anger, but he held back.

When Bao Yilan saw Gordon receive three fouls in a row on Li Cheng, his heart suddenly cooled. He finally saw Gordon on the court with all the firepower to overtake the score, but he didn't expect him to have a fever in his head and send him back to the bench.

"Damn it!" Bowelan cursed secretly, and then applied for a substitution after Li Cheng hit the first penalty and replaced Gordon.

Gordon sat on the bench and covered his head directly with a towel, and after he calmed down, he already realized that he was impulsive just now.

The Bulls lost the rhythm of the counterattack, but O'Brien decisively replaced Granger and Tinsley, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and push the Bulls back.

Li Cheng steadily hit the remaining two free throws, and he scored six points from the free throws after he came on the court, plus the shot he hit that time, he scored eight points in a row after coming on the court to help the Pacers regain the lead. At the same time, he made Gordon 3 fouls in a row, directly helping the Pacers turn the scene back.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Cheng didn't get another chance to score, and his two shots were missed.

Li Cheng's continuous fouls did affect his feel and rhythm. This is also his lack of experience, if Li Cheng hadn't met Gordon today, a guy who was a bit tenacious, his kind of single-minded play would have been broken down long ago.

However, even if Li Cheng failed to score again, the Pacers still entered the locker room with a 14-point lead. Li Cheng knocked Gordon off the bench, and O'Brien replaced Granger and Murphy with a wave that directly knocked the Bulls down.

That 19-7 offensive surge caused the Bulls to collapse, and if they couldn't make adjustments in the second half, the Chicagoans would have been completely ruined.
