Chapter 188: I'm Waiting for You in Indiana

In the second game between the Pacers and the Celtics, most people are not very optimistic about them.

First of all, this is the home of the Celtics, and the Green Shirts have already lost home advantage in this series, and if they lose another home game, this series will be very disadvantageous for them.

Secondly, the Celtics lost the first game, and many people thought they were too big to play an offensive battle with the Pacers. They think the Celtics are holding up, not that they let the water go. After all, Celtic's offense was just as sharp, but after they gave up what they did best, they lost in a frantic head-to-head battle.

Last but not least. This is still a comparison of the strength of the two teams, and the strength of the Pacers, in every aspect, is more than one level lower than the Celtics. Moreover, the Pacers fought too hard in the last game, how much form can they recover today? It's a very hard thing to say.

In this comparison, the Pacers' form of this game is very unoptimistic.

In fact, the game started with a very sluggish start for the Pacers. Their shooting, losing the momentum of the previous game.

Although they played the same tactics as in the previous game, they lost the sharpness of the previous game.

In addition, the Celtics reverted to their usual defensive strategy in this game. Their strong pressure on the defensive end made the Pacers' morale not rise at all.

The Pacers' running and bombardment lacks that kind of angry emotion and crazy momentum, and it is difficult for such tactics to show their strength.

In this game, there was a sense of relief between O'Brien's eyebrows, but he was much busier than before. Today he looked up from time to time, and then recorded it in his notebook.

The toughness of the Celtics on the defensive end, as well as the slump of the Pacers, disappointed a lot of fans who watched this game. Because. The scene was so dreary.

The commentators also lost the madness of the previous game, and their commentary rhythm slowed down significantly. And more often than not, they don't talk about the game at all.

"Today the Pacers seem to have followed the same tactics as in the last game, but the effect has obviously been greatly reduced."

"I don't think the Pacers were ready to win today. In fact, they were lucky to be able to walk away with a win at the North Shore Garden Arena. ”

"You see the Pacers' tactics, it's actually quite interesting."

"Yes! Their running and bombardment, as if there are no particularly obvious core players. Their players on the pitch seem to have little contact and their passes are very hairy. But with a ruthlessness that does not admit defeat, he can always send the ball into the opponent's basket. ”

"In the last game, the Pacers scored a terrifying 95 points from the outside, which is a very scary set."

"The other thing that they do with their shots is that they bounce farther and they have more opportunities to rush for rebounds and then score with a second shot. They also scored 34 points on the second offense, which is also quite scary. ”

"Golden State's run was chaotic, and after the disruption, it was up to Byron Davis to look for opportunities in the chaos. The core of Phoenix's run-and-gun is Steve Nash. Under Nash's methodical organization, they are fast but able to recuperate. Indiana's run-and-gun is very strange, their core is not a certain person, but a kind of love. ”

"The whole team of them relied on a kind of affection. A kind of madness is linked. Then Tong guò has a sharp spirit that does not admit defeat and sends the ball into the opponent's basket. ”

"Their crazy atmosphere, even if it's God, I'm embarrassed to let their shots go off!"

"So. The Pacers were able to get a win at the North Shore Garden Arena, but it wasn't all luck. This is inseparable from their own desperateness. ”

"Indiana. But it's an admirable team! ”

"Li Cheng is also an admirable player. His desire for victory has gone beyond a qiē. In the last game, he was completely desperate in the last moments. The way you play without protecting yourself at all is too easy to get hurt. ”

The commentators were talking about almost everything that revolved around the last game between the Pacers and the Celtics.

In the past two days, too much media has dissected the first game between the Pacers and the Celtics, and everyone already knows the process and content of their first game very well. But now, the commentator still doesn't tire of talking about that game, because there is so much to talk about in that game.

The Pacers' run-and-gun tactics can also be regarded as setting a precedent, and the core of their tactics is "love xù". It is obviously a very miraculous thing that something that cannot be seen or touched can become the tactical core of the Pacers.

Therefore, human beings can exert their super potential and strength by relying on the power of emotion.

Perhaps, the Pacers' tactics have opened up a new way of thinking, a new direction of research in modern basketball.

In today's game, the Pacers were not fully recovered, and their morale was relatively low, and they lost the sharpness of the previous game. So, today their table xiàn is very sluggish.

By the end of the first quarter, the Pacers were eight points behind. If it weren't for Li Cheng's continuous firepower on the offensive end, the Pacers' trailing score might have reached double digits.

The Celtics' defense against the Pacers today didn't have the same sense of urgency as in the last game, except for one man.

Ray Allen is still irritated by Li Cheng today, this kid is slippery like a loach, you saw him in front of you one second, but maybe the next second you don't know where he slipped away.

"This kid's position is so weird." Ray Allen cursed in his heart countless times.

Actually, Ray Allen should really go talk to Lore Deng and Randolphs.

Lore Deng may be the worst person in the whole league who was blown up by Li Cheng, Li Cheng not only hit him with his own running, but Li Cheng also hit Lore Deng very hard at the mental level.

That night, Li Cheng made a series of trash talk that almost spewed Lore Deng out of his mental block. However, when it comes to psychological disorders, Randolph has more say than Lore Deng.

Randolph was said by Li Cheng that day, "Fat man, you can shoot?" I'm standing here, and if you have the ability, you can vote. "After giving a provocation, cast a three-no-stick. After that, as long as it is a mid-pitch, this phrase will faintly appear in Randolph's ears. Since then, Randolph's shooting percentage has dropped by 8 percentage points, a huge drop in that number.

Ray Allen is much better than these two, at least he can beat Li Cheng on the offensive end, and Li Cheng is more effective against Ray Allen than when he was against Randolph and Lore Deng.

Ray Allen, Lore Deng, and Randolph can form a table to fight the landlord, in fact, they can take James to form a table of mahjong.

In the first round of the playoffs, the little emperor was also blown up by Li Cheng. However, the two of them exploded each other, and Li Cheng didn't get a good deal.

However, Li Cheng and his walkers completed the sweep of the knights after all. Therefore, James's resentment towards Li Cheng now is like a surging river, endless.

In the second quarter of the game, O'Brien forcibly pressed Li Cheng to the bench. The gap between the Pacers is getting wider, and O'Brien isn't in a hurry.

Li Cheng was anxious, but he also understood O'Brien.

As a Chinese, Li Cheng knows the story of Tian Ji horse racing very well. He knows that there is a huge gap between the strength and the opponent, and in this seven-game series, there must be a trade-off.

Today's game is not only on the opponent's home turf, but Celtic will certainly not relax after the new defeat. Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate for the Pacers to fight hard again in this game.

And the next game, back to Indiana, is what the Pacers should be fighting for the most. After all, now that they have an away win, they have the advantage of home field. The safest and best outcome is for the Pacers to keep all of their home court and then eliminate the Celtics.

In the second half of the game, O'Brien also deliberately controlled Li Cheng's playing time. He is deliberately adjusting everyone's playing time and is already preparing for the next game back at home.

In the second half, Ray Allen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Li Cheng's playing time has decreased, and he is not as desperate as before. Ray Allen finally doesn't have to be bored by Li Cheng's inexplicable running.

In the end, in this game, the Pacers lost to the Celtics on the road. The score was 84-96.

Losing the game, Li Cheng also felt a little unhappy in his heart. Moreover, this is also the first playoff defeat in his career, so he sent a blood out in such a suffocated manner, Li Cheng was really unhappy in his heart.
