Many head coaches have the same frustration with the Pacers, and they struggle with how to play against the Pacers. Is it against the Pacers? Or a positional battle with the Pacers?

It's no secret that the Pacers are very strong in the battle against the offense because they have Lee Cheng. But because they have Li Cheng, many teams can't play defense with the Pacers when facing the Pacers, and they can't play positional battles. Because they can't stop Li Cheng!

Li Cheng is like a sharp sword of a pacer, when he is a walker and a walker, he will become a sharp sword nailed to the heart of his opponent.

Rivers' helplessness is here, he can't completely strangle the Pacers' offense. He can only rely on the strength of his own lineup, relying on the strength of the Big Three to maneuver with the Pacers. Sitting in the coach's seat, Rivers sighed, the Pacers have become the most terrible in the league today because of Li Cheng's suspension.

"Is it the magical land of China that can create Li Cheng, a magical player, or does God think that Jordan is not amazing enough, so he creates a guy who is even more amazing than Jordan?" Rivers couldn't help but think about it.

Rivers lifted Lee a little too high, but Lee has indeed become one of the strongest players in the league today. This is an indisputable fact, and it was already doomed from the moment he led the Chinese team to snatch the Olympic title from the American Dream Eight. A guy who made the American Dream Team suffer four consecutive knees in the World Series, you can't ignore his existence anymore.

At this time, Li Cheng is even stronger than during the Olympics, and there is no problem with this.

Rivers is frustrating, and O'Brien is thinking about how to maximize the Pacers' strength.

Li Cheng's strength is beyond doubt, Li Chengcheng is like a big river that embraces all things, and he can adapt to any tactical system. But it is such a river, and it is also turbulent and slow. What kind of tactics, what kind of terrain can make the most of this river with unlimited potential?

The Pacers' tactics are far from perfect. Their tactics need to be further refined.

In the minds of the managers of both teams, the game went on.

"Rivers didn't command the team loudly from the sidelines today, which was a bit of a surprise to me!"

"Yes, in the past, Rivers would be like a raging fire whenever the scene was scorching, but today it is very quiet."

'Maybe today he didn't think there was anything wrong with his players, he felt the problem was with him.

"Since the start of this season, it seems that no team's head coach has solved Li Cheng's problem."

"The biggest problem Li Cheng brings to opponents is not that his individual scoring is difficult to limit, but that he drives the overall rhythm of the Pacers. As long as Li Cheng is present. The Pacers are in a strange rhythm, always playing at a pace they like and are familiar with, and never let their opponents pull the score away. ”

After the clock ticked, the first quarter was finally over, with the Pacers temporarily trailing the Celtics by two points at 23-25 on the road. In the first quarter of the game, Li Cheng scored 8 points and 3 assists, and was the biggest contributor to the Pacers' ability to bite the score even when the state was not at its best.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Cheng did not play, but the Pacers' benches put 200% of their energy into defense. And all their offensive pressure. It's all on Hibbert's.

All the people in the Pacers have a very important role to play on this team, and the burden on Hibbert's body is getting heavier and heavier.

In this quarter, Hibbert's table was very good, and he provided a perfect inside barrier for the Pacers' interior in the first four minutes of the second quarter. At the same time, he also handed out a strong number of 6 points and 4 rebounds.

The scores of the Celtics and Pacers were slowly rising, but neither of them could pull the score away.

In the fourth minute of the second quarter, Li Cheng came on the court again, and the battle between the Indiana Twins and the Celtics triumvirate kicked off again.

Under Li Cheng's control. The Celtics couldn't play the tempo very fast, so the tempo of this game was very slow, and the shooting percentage of this game was not very high.

It can be said that it was a physical collision intense. But it wasn't a great game.

Compared with the last game between the Pacers and the Lakers, this game has to be discounted by a few minutes, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.

Boston fans know very well what the Pacers mean to the Celtics, so they're all concerned about the final outcome of this game.

This game, which was more meaningful than the process, reached the final quarter in a calm rhythm.

It can be said that there is nothing particularly exciting about this game except for the score. But that's the charm of a basketball game, the less time there is, the more tense the atmosphere and atmosphere of the game becomes, and the more interested the audience becomes.

Someone once said that the greatest charm of basketball is the last-minute kill.

This may not be true, but it's true, sometimes a good goal can add a lot of color to a dull game.

In the 9th minute of the final quarter, the score on the scoreboard was 77-80. As is customary in the NBA, the away team is in front of the home team.

The Pacers were behind for almost the entire game, but they were able to bite the score.

Rivers didn't think of a way to do it throughout the game, and he finally gave up thinking about it. After all, there is no perfect tactic in this world, and the flashes of superstars in basketball are especially important. The Celtics also have three superstars who can single-handedly change the outcome of a game, so Rivers isn't really worried.

Rivers left the dugout and walked to the sidelines and yelled at his players, "Cheer up, you're Celtics!" ”

"Attack, hit the success rate, don't relax!"

Rivers' roar was naturally caught on camera, and the commentator quipped: "Rivers was pretending to be a Zen master for the whole game, but in the end he still failed." ”

"Such Rivers are Rivers! He's directing the game like a fire, infecting every player on the field. But to be honest, his style is really very much in line with the Celtics! ”

"If Rivers and Jackson swapped places, I'm afraid we'd all feel indecent."

'The impact a manager has on a team is huge, especially in terms of temperament. (To be continued......)
