Li Cheng and Maddie's tussle continued into the seventh minute of the first quarter, when an official timeout interrupted their matchup, with the two of them carding 11 and 13 points, respectively.

Despite Maddy's nine shots, his 13-point efficiency on 6-of-9 shooting was still the pinnacle of his season. Li Cheng, on the other hand, continued his efficient play, scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting.

However, the Rockets and Pacers were tied 21-21 at the first official timeout.

The game has been played so far, and I can't say who is better. Maddie seems to have regained the feeling of his youth today, but he still can't suppress Li Cheng's play.

While people are amazed by Maddie's performance today, they also have to praise Li Cheng's strength.

Li Cheng has only been in the league for the second year this year, but he has already been able to have such a stable and efficient appearance. And Maddie's almost perfect performance today seems to be setting off Li Cheng's strength.

It's a cliché, but one that everyone in this league has to face.

"When Li Cheng matures a little more, will there be anyone in this alliance who can stop him?"

"I can't think of it."

"Maybe we're going to witness the birth of a great star, maybe he's going to create the next myth. A basketball myth that belongs to the Chinese. ”

After the official timeout, neither Lee Cheng nor Maddie continued to play. The two teams sent a very tacit lineup to the bench. It was a game that was watched by the fans, but no one would let their main players play too much time in order to make the fans have more fun.

After all, if a player gets injured because of that extra few minutes of playing time, it will always be the player who pays the bill, and it is the loyal fans of those teams who are sad, and those who watch the excitement will only adjust their gaze.

Yao Ming did not play very well from the start to the time he was replaced. He had 4 points and 2 rebounds. This number jù is just a decent one for him. But the Chinese fans were not too disappointed as they saw the two super defenders face off against each other.

Compared to the first 7 minutes of the first quarter, the next 5 minutes of the game were a little more flat.

The players who can bring a wonderful performance are sitting on the sidelines, and some fans are a little bored watching such a game.

But just like a wonderful novel, eternal high \orgasm can only make people impotent. The appropriate low tide is also to meet the more exciting high tide in the future.

"What do you think of Maddie?" Stegan walked up to Li Cheng and asked. Now Stegan has become the brightest sight on the Pacers' bench. This guy is even more anxious than O'Brien, who is the head coach of the team, and sometimes he will shout anxiously on the sidelines.

And on the inside of the Pacers, Stegan's weight is getting heavier. However, he still had a great time working with O'Brien, and even if some of the tactics were made by Stegan, he would let O'Brien set up the tactics. He is a smart guy and knows what he has to do.

Stegan likes the Pacers very much, he wants to take the whip of the team, but he doesn't want to use some insidious means, he wants to get it, he has to use his ability to convince everyone.

"Maddie, he's strong!" Li Cheng replied.

Stegan nodded and said, "Today he played at the level of 70% at his peak, but I don't think he can maintain this form in this game." ”

Li Cheng was taken aback, but then said, "No matter what, I will fight my own." ”

Stegan nodded, then patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job!" (To be continued......)
