Chapter 193: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain

Can the Pacers pull off a miracle and knock out the Celtics?

The weak will always be sympathized, and defeating the strong with the weak is a drama that everyone likes to see very much.

But when the battle between the Pacers and the Celtics was approaching, many people had a feeling of sudden awakening.

Because before this series, no one thought the Pacers would be able to go toe-to-toe with the Celtics.

This is not to say that everyone doesn't want to believe that this round of the series will be played to Game 5, but everyone doesn't want to believe that in this round of the series, the Celtics are going to have such a fierce battle against the Pacers on their home court.

The battle of Tennoyama is usually a match between opponents who are very close in strength.

The fact that a game is known as the battle of Tianwang Mountain shows the importance of this game. Because the team that wins this game will get match points. And it's two match points, which is a very big advantage in a seven-game series. So, this game is crucial, and no one wants to lose it.

In the whole round of the series, in addition to the tie-break, it was the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain that was the most exciting.

The NBA's playoff system is actually very ingenious, and it will mobilize the emotions of all the fans step by step. As time goes by, the audience takes the game more seriously, and the more they pay attention to the game.

The boss of the Pacers is choking at the moment, why wasn't the Battle of Mount Tenno held in Indiana? You must know that the benefits of a battle of Tianwang Mountain are not just the benefits of tickets. Such an intense and exciting game will drive the sales of merchandise for the entire team.

Because after the exciting game, the emotions of the fans will be fully mobilized. It doesn't matter if the team he supports wins or loses, he's not going to be happy. And when people can't keep their minds normal, the desire to shop will quietly rise.

For this battle between the Pacers and the Celts, the media of the Celestial Empire paid special attention to it. You know, so far Yao Ming has not been able to lead the team to break through the first round. And two Chinese players who have won championship rings. At that time, the team they were on was completely soy sauce.

Therefore, Li Cheng led the team to the second round, which was definitely the first time in the world. However, Li Cheng not only led the team to the second round, but also led the team to the fifth game of the battle against the powerful Celtics.

When the fifth match between the two teams can be called the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the meaning of this game, and even this round of games, has changed.

Because, at the moment, the Pacers and the Celtics are opponents on the same level. Also at this moment. For the first time, the Boston media put the Pacers and Celtics on the same level for the first time.

On May 26, there was not a single cloud in the blue sky of Boston. Today is a very good day, the summer sun has spread all over the land, but the temperature of the sun has not yet reached that scorching heat.

"It's a nice day, it's a good day to win." Li Cheng was in front of the window of the hotel, turning the wristband on his left hand with his right hand and sighed.

Granger sat on the bed fiddling with his phone and said, "You're so confident." ”

"If I don't believe we can win. Even God can't help us. Li Cheng said lightly, at this moment, the feeling of confidence in his body made Granger feel suffocated.

Immediately, Granger smiled, "Okay." Go to the North Shore Garden Arena tonight and kill them. ”

The last time he won against the Celtics, Li Cheng was once again rewarded with the "Top of the Basketball System".

This time, the rewards are just as generous as last time.

15 days of system consumption time. 1 attribute point, straight up to one level, and also a bottle of powerful God of War Elixir.

There is also good news. It is Li Cheng who has not only risen to level 28 in this series of tasks, but his experience has also accumulated little by little, and he is very close to being promoted to level 29.

Four attribute points, Li Cheng assigned them to the two attributes of explosiveness and strength. Now Li Cheng's strength attribute has reached 57 points, and his explosive power attribute has also reached 55 points. Now Li Cheng's perverted shooting, coupled with his physical appearance, he can already rank among the top stars in the NBA.

Maybe Li Cheng's experience is still insufficient, but now his strength is already very strong, even if he can't get any growth here in the "top of the basketball system" now, he can laugh at the NBA with the passage of time and the accumulation of experience.

At half past five in the afternoon, the fifth game between the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics, one of the Eastern Conference semifinals, officially kicked off at the North Shore Garden Arena.

Today, all of Celtic's players have a stern face. They also understand the importance of this game, and if they do get upset at home by the Pacers in this series, then they can really lose face.

So, the pressure on Celtic is very high right now. It's not just the pressure on the players, the pressure on Rivers, it's the pressure on their general manager. These pressures are really overwhelming, but this is actually their own death. If they play at their best from the first game, perhaps the final suspense of the game now is whether Celtic will advance to the next round by a few aggregate scores.

"It's a bit of playing with fire!" Rivers laughed to himself as the players entered the game. Then he said to his assistant: "It's good that such an important game is on our own home turf, and if it's on the territory of the crazy people at Conseus, I really don't know the bottom of my heart." ”

"Don't worry! After all, our strength is much stronger than our opponents. ”

Rivers' gaze swept over the Big Three, nodded confidently, and said, "If we are really evenly matched with them, I really don't know the bottom in my heart!" Speaking of this, Rivers' eyes looked at Li Cheng, who was standing straight on the sidelines waiting for the game to start.

"The Pacers are really making a fortune to pick up this player!" Rivers sighed in his heart, and at the same time he felt that the Chinese player standing on the sidelines now always had a strange aura on his body, and he couldn't see through this breath.

Over the years, Rivers has read countless people, and he can even tell from a player's running form whether the player will have a knee problem. But when he looked at Li Cheng, he found that he couldn't see through it at all.

At first glance, you feel that Li Cheng is just a weak pitcher. But when he really went crazy, his somewhat thin body always burst out with amazing strength.

Against the Cavaliers, Li Cheng was able to squeeze James and Ben Wallace to complete the dunk, which was unbelievable, but this Chinese kid did it stubbornly.

Rivers pondered on the sidelines, and this much-watched battle of Tianwang Mountain had finally begun.

This game, too, is a little different. Because of this game, Stern was personally on the scene. This is the first time that Stern has come to watch the game since the start of this year's playoffs!

At this point, some conspiracy theorists are already speculating. Did Stern inadvertently reveal something?

Does Stern's arrival at the North Shore Garden Arena signal that this year's championship will go to Boston? Or is there something else going on in today's game?

In fact, Stern came here to see Li Cheng play. At the same time, he also decided to give the Pacers a small help if the rules allowed.

Li Cheng's popularity is now skyrocketing, and the NBA's audience in China has continued to rise in recent times. And that upward trend made Stern's heart excited. Stern is well aware that the surge in Chinese fans is largely due to Li Cheng's outburst in the NBA.

So, Stern decided to give it a push. He wants to let Li Cheng's fame be detonated again, so as to achieve his goal.

"Crawford, give it an account!" Stern whispered in the ear of his assistant, Xiao Hua.

"President, don't worry! It's all explained, and there's no problem. Crawford doesn't have any affection for Boston. Xiao Hua chuckled lightly and whispered.

Stern nodded and said, "We've done everything we can, and then it's up to Indiana and the kid to make it himself." ”

As soon as everything was explained, Stern sat down peacefully and began to watch the game.

It was the first meeting between the two sides, with Celtic taking the lead.

Pierstone Guò squeezed the Pacers' defense on a personal breakaway, and he then threw the ball into Rondo's hands. Rondo didn't stop the ball and threw it directly over the rebound.

Garnett jumped to his feet, grabbed the ball with both hands, and smashed a slam dunk like a mountain. The bloodthirsty wolf king, from the very first moment of this game, showed his power. Obviously, Garnett is going to explode today.

Next up is the Pacers' offense, Tinsley's steady outside dribble, ready to organize the Pacers' offense.

Li Cheng began to shuttle constantly, and today he also came to the game with the "elusive" skill, and his purpose today was to use guò's own running to lead away from the Celtic defense.

The Pacers used up all their tactics in those two games. Now they have only one way left, and if they want to win again, I am afraid they can only rely on the explosion of a certain player.

Li Cheng was also in very good shape today, everyone knew that this was a very important game, so none of them wanted to lose, and everyone showed their best form.

This is the playoffs, every game is crucial, no one can back down, no one can back down, only use their strongest form to fight to the death. (To be continued......)
