At the beginning of the final quarter, the Spurs, who led the Pacers by 14 points, had a rare sense of relaxation. The main reason is that the 7 consecutive games away from home consume too much physical energy for this team, and the first game back at home is not the best.

Popovic can't help but think about the team's upcoming games, after all, their goal is to win the championship, not to win this ordinary regular season.

At this time, Bowen and Parker were not on the court, and Li Cheng suddenly realized that this was an opportunity.

In Parker's absence, the Spurs' offense will rely on Ginobili to organize, and Ginobili, who wants to organize the offense, will not be able to put more energy into defense.

At this time, it was the Pacers' offense, and Li Cheng continued to weave through the gaps in the Spurs' positions. He stopped suddenly, very covertly and slapped Ginobili on the shoulder, and then he exploded at full speed and ran to the left side of the basket.

At the same time, Tinsley's dancing pace also stirred up the Spurs' defense, and then his scalpel-like through ball cut through the Spurs' defense. Ball to! People are here!

Li Cheng's right foot exerted force, and his body stopped completely, and then he quickly turned around and rose directly into the air facing the basket. After the jump, he adjusted his hand, and when he reached the top, he threw the ball.

A series of actions were completed in one go, and the tacit understanding between Li Cheng and Tinsley was also revealed.

It was a very beautiful goal, although after scoring it, the Pacers were still trailing by as many as 12 points. But Indiana fans were happily sipping beers, believing that Lee's goal was a clarion call for the Pacers to fight back.

Originally leading by 14 points, Popovich wanted his team to close the point, he wanted to rely on his team's rich experience to control the advantage of the score.

Playing possession is also a major feature of the Spurs, so they are the team with the fewest turnovers in the league. But the Pacers they met today weren't the ones who played their cards according to common sense.

Then Li Cheng's shots hit one after another, and the Spurs naturally adjusted the center of gravity of the defense. And when their defensive focus was more on Li Cheng, his passing once again began to show its power.

Granger received a pass from Li Cheng and hit a layup. Murphy also received a pass from Li Cheng and hit a hook shot under the basket.

In the space of 4 minutes, Li Cheng and his team set off a wave of offensive highs, and at this time Popovich wanted to call a timeout, but it was too late. His re-arrangement failed to hold the Pacer, a wild horse that had broken off the reins and galloped.

The Spurs' physical drain, their poor form, and the Pacers' sense of going crazy. For a while, the Pacers set off wave after wave of offensive highs in San Antonio.

"Popovic should make more changes, and if this situation continues, it will be very bad for the team!"

"The Chinese, who have barely achieved anything in the third section, are starting to go crazy again."

"I think we must limit this kid well, otherwise he will be too arrogant."

When Li Cheng was restricted again in the third quarter, the two commentators who were very excited were not excited now. They watched Li Cheng suddenly go crazy again, leading the Pacers to play waves of offensive highs, and they were as sad as eating flies.

Soon Popovic replaced all the main players again, but where was the Pacers, who had already gained momentum, so easily pressed down?

Li Cheng made another pass and found Granger. He alone attracted a large number of defensive targets on the left side, and Granger on the other side naturally showed his chances, hitting the middle of the shot.

Granger scored the Pacers' 72nd point of the game, and Lee finally brushed up his 10th assist of the game.

The task has been completed, but Li Cheng, who has been continuously suppressed, will not stop so easily. He relied on his youth and better body than Bowen, and started a new round of impact on the veteran.

Now Bowen may feel the feeling of Battier in the last game, but his feeling is not as strong as Battier, Li Cheng, who used the "Explosive Potion" in the last game, is even stronger than now, but Bowen still feels very uncomfortable now, because he is older than Battier!

If he were to interview Bowen now, he would have said the following. "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, this kid has attacked my defense again and again, and after my fitness has dropped, I finally can't restrain him."

When Li Cheng encounters a player like Bowen, it is like hitting the south wall. But he never chose to run away, he would keep hitting the wall, even if his head was bleeding, until he knocked it over.

Popovic can't sit on the sidelines anymore, he doesn't have the habit of watching his team fail. He replaced Bowen and had to make a readjustment. But while he readjusted, the Spurs were short of two minutes of discomfort, Li Cheng once again set off a wave of offensive highs for the Pacers.

He scored first with a shot, then assisted Granger to score again, and then Granger returned the favor with an assist for Lee Cheng to score two more points.

In the 7th minute of the final quarter, the Pacers equalized. Then Li Cheng and Granger went hand in hand, and the two teamed up to send the Spurs a wave of 10-2.

In the 11th minute of the final quarter, the Indiana Pacers led the Spurs by eight points.

The two commentators opened their mouths bitterly, some speechless. They bitterly reported the score, as well as ...... Lee Cheng had 21 points, 12 assists and 2 rebounds.

It was the first assist double-double of Lee's career and the first double-double of his career, and it was born on this night in San Antonio.

When the game was over and the Pacers beat the Spurs 89-80, the Indiana fans were already cheering at the bar. During this time of jubilation, no one noticed the bitter look that the bar owner showed from time to time.

In San Antonio, the Spurs were only momentarily disappointed by the loss. They don't care too much about the outcome of a regular season game.

"You're a great player, I thought there was no one else in China except Yao! It's me who is short-sighted, and you really surprise me. "The one who spoke was Ginobili.

Li Cheng smiled at him kindly and said, "Argentina, the football kingdom, also has someone as powerful as you, it's really unexpected!" ”

"Haha! We'll be fully prepared for the next competition. ”

"Are you not ready enough for me today?"

Ginobili touched his nose and didn't answer.
