Chapter 187: Planning for the Next Scene

The next game between the Pacers and the Celtics will be on May 21.

On the 19th, for a whole day, Li Chengdu stayed in the hotel, and he was really overdrawn in the game last night.

Even if he has the super plug-in of the "Top of the Basketball System", Li Cheng slept until noon.

After waking up at noon, Li Cheng entered the "top of the basketball system" as soon as possible, but he remembered that every time he won a game against the Celtics, he would get a reward.

"Congratulations to your team for winning the first game against the Boston Celtics, increasing the system consumption time by 10 days, increasing the level by one level, and rewarding 500 gold."

With this reward, Li Cheng's gold coins have grown to 3790, and his gold coin savings are already relatively rich.

And what's even more gratifying is that he has been promoted to level 27 this time, and while gaining 3 attribute points, he is one step closer to opening the third row of skills.

These three stat points are assigned to the agility attribute, and against a team like the Celtics, the agility attribute increases his speed a little, which can give him more opportunities in the game. As a result, his agility stat is increased to 53, while all other stats remain the same.

On this day, the walkers did not arrange training, many people went out to play, and Li Cheng was the only one who stayed in the room to rest.

Li Cheng had a more relaxed day, but O'Brien and Hart had a day of discussion in the room. What they are talking about is, of course, what tactics the team will use in the next game.

"Are we going to continue to play in the next game?" O'Brien muttered to himself, a little confused.

"Actually, it shouldn't be a big problem to continue to use such tactics, but I think we should change the use of Li Cheng." Hart said.

O'Brien looked at the messy tactical map in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "His ball-handling offense is basically useless against the Celtics. A team like the Celtics, their No. 2 and No. 3 positions, are all All-Star players with strong defense, which has too much impact on Li Cheng's ball-handling offense. ā€

"In the last game, he didn't have much of a chance to attack with the ball. He's fighting more on his own running. Maybe we can fully exploit his off-ball movement. ā€

"Running without the ball?" O'Brien muttered, flipping through a jumbled tactical roadmap that had been drawn.

"Use Li Cheng's running to mess up the opponent's defense, and then rely on our group of pitchers to strike at them." O'Brien Road.

Hart thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be any problem with this set of tactics, but I don't think we need to fight again in the next game." ā€

O'Brien nodded and said, "So you think the same way, we are in someone else's home stadium, and it is already good to win one game." Next game. We continue with the same tactics as we did in the previous game. ā€

"In the next game, Rivers will definitely change the style of play. He's going to be sure to stop us with his defense. So what we have to do is test their tactics and then target them in the third game. ā€

"In the third game, we are back at home, and with the foundation we have for this one, a win can still be expected."

Hart nodded and said, "This way we can also modify this set of tactics to make up for some loopholes and deficiencies." ā€

"Let's do it!" O'Brien Road.

In this game, O'Brien has decided to give up. They are inferior to their opponents in strength. So they have to think about a few other factors, otherwise victory will be incredibly distant for the Pacers.

Compared with O'Brien and Hart's dignified, Li Cheng's leisure, the outside media is more and more interested in this round of the Pacers and Celtics series.

Mark Winter, who previously said that the Pacers would be swept by their opponents, continued to post shamelessly this time.

"An unexpected victory. But I think it's more that Celtic didn't give it their all. After all, they used the offense they were not good at to play against the Pacers, so they lost this game unjustly. But I think it's Rivers' offensive ability in real YĆ n and the Pacers' victory will end there. ā€

"You can win. Don't let your opponent shave their heads. The Pacers can already burn incense, after all, the gap between them and their opponents is too big. ā€

The Pacers won against the Celtics, but the news was difficult to get to China. Because. Now the whole country is mourning the earthquake in Wenchuan, and there is no entertainment in the country for three days.

However, there are still many fans who are very concerned about the Pacers who will go over to foreign websites to follow the outcome of this game.

For those fans who saw the result of this game, they were very excited.

The Walkers continued to create miracles, and the core figure of their miracles was Li Cheng. This shows that Li Cheng's strength is close to some of the top stars in the league.

After the madness of the regular season, and then the baptism of the playoffs. Now Li Cheng's career has played 5 long playoffs, and they have won all of them. Therefore, Li Cheng's strength has been fully recognized. China does have a top defender who can make the whole league tremble.

The Pacers' game against the Celtics was an upset in this round of playoffs, and the other game ended yesterday. The Orlando Magic won away from the Detroit Pistons, and the two games in the Eastern Conference semifinals ended in the next two games.

I wonder what the results of the two games in the West tonight will be?

At half past ten in the evening, Li Cheng sat in his hotel room to watch the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz game.

It was the first time he had sat in front of the TV to watch the Lakers since he became a professional.

In the past, he liked the Lakers' games very much, and as long as there were games broadcast on the TV station, Li Chengdu would watch them without missing a beat. But after he became a professional, every day he watched videos of some star players, slow-motion replays of their tricks.

After watching the video for more than half a year, it is also a very good feeling to watch a live game once in a while.

This time, Li Cheng watched the Lakers' game, but he had a lot of different feelings from before.

First of all, his perspective is different, and he will pay more attention to the tactical level of the two teams. It's an occupational disease, focusing on the tactical holes of the team in the game, and he often puts himself in it. These things are in his blood, and they can't be changed.

After paying attention to the tactics of the teams playing on the court, it is time to watch his favorite Kobe Bryant performance.

Perhaps there are many fans who think that Li Cheng's style of play is very beautiful and beautiful. But in Li Cheng's eyes, Kobe Bryant is the player he admires the most, and his step-back jumper is also very charming.

In the first half, the Los Angeles Lakers tied the Utah Jazz at 55. Such a first half was unexpected by many people. After all, the Lakers are now stronger than the Jazz.

However, the rhythm of the game in the second half slowly returned to the expectations of fans.

As soon as the second half of the game began, Kobe Bryant began to exert his strength. His string of points kicked off a stormy offense for the Lakers.

The Lakers went on a 19-7 run to build a 12-point lead in one fell swoop.

After that, the Lakers continued to extend their lead, but when their lead reached 19 points, they began to habitually "let go of the water".

That's the way the Lakers are, and it's a common practice that they start to relax after leading by too many points. Many people believe that the reason why the Lakers have such a problem has something to do with their aristocratic feelings.

Maintaining a sense of nobility and composure at all times makes them relax after leading by too many points, because they subconsciously think that their opponent should have given up.

But this time, the Lakers met the Jazz. The Utah Jazz, led by Jerry Sloan, are known as the most resilient team in the league. They don't know what giving up is, and they won't give up in any situation.

From the ninth minute of the third quarter, the Jazz, who had been blown up, actually began to fight back.

By the end of the third quarter, they had narrowed the deficit to 11 points. Then in the final quarter of the game, the Jazz continued their counterattack.

After hitting back at the Lakers with a 7-2 run, the difference came to 6 points. By this time, Phil Jackson stood up from the dugout for the first time, and he came to the sideline and blew a whistle to remind the Lakers players on the court to hurry up and not relax anymore.

From this moment on, the Lakers slowly returned to their previous rhythm.

In the eleventh minute of the final quarter, the Jazz narrowed the gap to 2 points, and the suspense of the game reappeared, and it was suspenseful.

Fortunately, Bryant's big three-point shot turned the difference into 5 points. Eventually, after a string of fouls from the Jazz, the game was over. The Lakers managed to hold on to their home court 115-111.

The Lakers' relaxation scared Lakers fans into a cold sweat. However, Li Cheng is more excited, if this game enters garbage time early, isn't it very interesting?

"The media should also give the Lakers an 'industry conscience' award." Li Cheng muttered to himself.

At this time, Granger, who had been out for a long day, returned. He saw that Li Cheng was actually watching the Lakers' game, and joked: "Haven't you played enough games yourself?" In fact, he said nonsense, every NBA player who can gain a foothold in the league loves basketball very much. In their spare time, they also go to watch some games and see the games of their favorite teams.

Li Cheng turned off the TV and said, "Get out!" It's not early, go to bed early, I'm going to train tomorrow morning. ā€

"You're boring." Granger muttered, turned and went into the bathroom to take a shower. (To be continued......)
