In 4 shots and 4 shots, Li Cheng has already scored eight points.

Ray Allen looked at Li Cheng's back, and he pouted a little helplessly.

"This kid has a very weird way of attacking, and his running is completely invisible. This is really a genius boy. With his skin color, it is really not easy to be able to make a name for himself in the NBA! I don't know, what kind of heights he will reach in the future. ”

Ray Allen has some interest in Li Cheng as a player. However, now that the two of them are opponents, he must rack his brains to think about how to prevent Li Cheng.

Now that the Celtics have the ball, Ray Allen can't allow a junior to go wild endlessly in front of him, and he has to show a little bit of strength.

is also running without the ball, but Ray Allen found that Li Cheng is very good at defending his off-ball running.

"This kid is really difficult!" Ray Allen thought that he had thrown off Li Cheng several times, but he didn't expect to be stuck by Li Cheng again.

Seeing that the time for the attack was approaching, Ray Allen reached out for the ball at this time. His pride did not allow this attack to go in vain.

Garnett had already squeezed out space on the inside, but he still passed the ball to Ray Allen.

Ray made a three-pointer at the free throw line and forced his shoulder to push Li Cheng's chest, and after a few times, Li Cheng was squeezed back by Ray Allen. Ray Allen picked up and shot, and the basketball landed firmly in the basket.

"Fuck." Li Cheng cursed a swear word.

If Ray Allen runs without the ball, Li Cheng is not afraid at all, he is confident that he can defend Ray Allen very well. But Ray Allen used such a hard-hitting method, and he couldn't stand it. His physicality is higher than the level in the league, and there are still some gaps.

However, Ray Allen has not used such a simple method for a long time, but when he faces Li Cheng, such a simple method is often the most effective.

The Celtic Big Three. None of them are easy to mess with, and O'Brien is very entangled in his heart.

If the Celtics' Big Three can't be restricted, the Pacers' defeat is a matter of time.

"Let's run and run!" Hart was beside O'Brien and said inappropriately.

"Run-and-boom?" O'Brien looked at Hart, but his mind was already spinning.

"Didn't we practice some time ago? The effect is also not bad. If the team's hand is up, who can stop it? ”

"But it's a bit too much to hope for victory on the player's hand. After all, our number one position is not good, if there is a Nash. We're definitely going to be able to play at a very high level. ”

"But if we let these boys throw away, we're more violent than Phoenix. Besides, it is better to pin your hopes on the feel than to pin your hopes on Li Cheng alone. He's feeling good at the moment, but if he doesn't shoot, the score could be pulled away. ”

O'Brien pondered, but didn't make a decision right away.

At this time, Li Cheng once again had the upper hand in the grappling with Ray Allen, and he took advantage of Foster's blocking. Shake off the defender's bag, step out, catch the ball and shoot. A fiery feel that pushes the ball out softly.

5 of 5 shots. Li Cheng is already unstoppable.

Rivers on the sidelines looked at Li Cheng, and he was also a little helpless. "A player like that, he can play well in any kind of lineup. Such a player is so valuable. Unfortunately, the team couldn't have bought him. ”

Rivers also admires Li Cheng very much. Thinking that he is an extremely efficient shooter is a treasure in the eyes of every coach. But now Rivers doesn't have time to appreciate Li Cheng's beautiful basketball, what he has to do now is to find a way to limit Li Cheng's touch.

Lee Sung also appreciates a luxury lineup like the Celtics. He prefers to watch Celtic play. Seeing the chemistry of the Big Three on the field, this combination is also very beautiful. However, now this kind of gorgeousness gives Li Cheng a big headache.

He was able to break down the Celtics' defense alone, but his teammates were lost in the Celtics' solid defense one by one.

Li Cheng glanced at O'Brien, his eyes were a little solemn.

This time, Pierce's shot slid out of the basket. Eight or nine times out of ten such a shot should be a goal, and not scoring this ball can be regarded as the luck of the Pacers.

"We have to seize this opportunity and equalize the score!"

The Celtics also knew the threat of Li Cheng on the Pacers' side, so this time the Celtics defended Li Cheng very tightly.

At this point, Granger got a shot on the left side. In front of him is Davis, small and big, and Granger has a big advantage.

After the ball was passed into place, Granger dribbled and wobbled continuously. His style of play is simple, but behind the simplicity is practicality.

Shaking off Davis, Granger immediately jumped.

I have to say that this guy has been with Li Cheng for a long time, and his shooting level has gradually improved.

The basketball arced through the air, and the net's fluttering net flowers heralded the Pacers to score two more points.

Seeing the score equalized, Rivers had to call a timeout.

First of all, he had to solve Li Cheng's problem.

"Ray, do you have any good ideas for that kid?"

"Coach, I've figured out something." Ray Allen said with a little distress.

Rivers nodded and said, "We can't use the tactics prepared for Kobe Bryant first, this round will be hard for you." ”

"Hmm!" Ray Allen nodded. Although he knows that the team has prepared a lot of tactics to defend the opposing scoring guard, it is obviously unwise to use these tactics at this time. Because, the biggest competitor for the Celtics to win the championship this year is the Lakers, and it is obviously impossible to beat the Lakers and not find a way to deal with Kobe.

If the tactics prepared for Kobe Bryant are used on Li Cheng now, then when the two teams meet in the finals, such tactics will lack the element of surprise. And Phil Jackson is an old fox, if the tactics are exposed first, then the practicality will be much less.

Rivers doesn't have much to say about the team's offense. All he has to say is the team's defense. Obviously, he's not prepared for a game against the Pacers at home.

"If it really doesn't work, just let that kid score, and we'll just get the other four Pacers stuck."

The Celtics players nodded their heads secretly, while O'Brien on the other side was also emphasizing the team's defense.

"Garnett, let's leave it alone, but Ray Allen and Pierce can't leave it alone. Desperately trying to keep them both at bay for me. Try to limit their play so we have a silver lining. The opponent is strong, but we are not weak either, and it is promising that we will give our best. O'Brien slapped the tactics board and shouted.

Now, he still doesn't want the team to play run-and-shoot tactics.

This kind of run-and-bomb tactic was also inadvertently thought of by O'Brien. He had the team test it in a training session and it was very powerful. But relying too much on the feel, such tactics were then abandoned by his so-called failed experiments. At this time, he didn't want to gamble his luck at this critical moment.

The game restarted with both teams on the same starting line. However, such a draw is a bit unsafe for the Pacers.

After the pause, the walker's hand seemed to cool down, mainly because Li Cheng's hand cooled down.

The Celtics continued their steady and efficient offense, but Lee hit two shots in a row.

"It's irritating." Li Cheng scolded irritably.

In fact, sometimes it's just luck. Or this is a very mysterious feeling, the feeling comes, no matter how you vote. I feel like I'm gone, and I can't get in. And sometimes, a timeout can cool down a player who feels hot.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers trailed the Celtics 19-24. If the game continues to go at this pace, they will soon collapse. Fortunately, at the beginning of the second quarter, it was a battle of substitutes. Li Cheng was put on the court with Granger and should be able to redeem some of the disadvantage.

O'Brien was still struggling with whether or not to use such crazy tactics.

The second quarter of the game started quickly, compared to Ray Allen, who had been following Li Cheng in the first quarter. James Posey, who is defending Li Cheng now, is much easier to handle. After all, James Posey's biggest characteristic is clinginess, but his tricks are of little use in front of Li Cheng's running.

"It seems that the Celtics are not prepared to use the team's defense to suppress Li Cheng."

"Maybe their secret weapon is reserved for the most important people! The Pacers weren't qualified enough for the Celtics to use such a secret weapon. ”

"That being said, right now the Pacers are on a wave of offense."

"The Pacers' offensive highs and lows are traded for the physical strength of Granger and Lee Cheng, how long can the two of them last in the playoffs?"

"It's probably a problem, maybe the Pacers aren't ready to win this series. For them, a win is a game. ”

"Their mentality is very good, maybe with their mentality of not caring too much and desperately, they may really upset the Celtics!"

"With seven tough battles, their hopes are really slim. If it's a win-or-lose knockout game, the Pacers may really have a glimmer of hope. ”

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Li Cheng and Granger seized the opportunity of the absence of the Big Three and attacked fiercely.

Granger's three-pointer opened the shot, and then Li Cheng's jumper helped the Pacers equalize the score directly. Then came Dunleavy Jr.'s rampage-like three-point shot, and the Pacers were in full morale and directly overtook the score. This is the first time the Pacers have led the opponent in this game.

"They're not invincible either!" Li Cheng shouted at his teammates.

Indeed, the Celtics are not invincible. Now, the Pacers are already ahead. (To be continued......)
