After the turmoil of some things, the domestic attention to Li Cheng has also increased again. In other words, the domestic attention to Li Cheng has never been low, but the angle of attention has been changed.

A defender who averages 30+ per game has a huge impact on a country's fans. Li Cheng's style of play is so special and so beautiful, and his charm on the court is enough to attract anyone.

Celestial Circle 5 once again broadcast the Indiana Pacers vs. Dallas Mavericks game to the whole country, looking at Li Cheng's chic and agile posture on the court, Yu Jia subconsciously said, "Beautiful basketball, this word seems to be tailor-made for Li Cheng." It's been a long time since I've seen him perform on the pitch, and I miss it. ”

Zhang Li knew that it was going to be bad when he heard Yu Jia's words, so he kicked Yu Jia with his foot and gave him a look. Yu Jia also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately focused on the game.

"Nowitzki's mid-shot at the whistle, it's a life-saving mid-shot! The Mavericks held the tide for the time being. Coach Zhang, do you think the Mavericks will have an advantage in which way if they want to win the game? ”

"Uh...... The Mavericks' defense should not be weak. But their defense is more dependent on their firepower on the offensive end, which means that their defense is driven by the offense. There are many such teams in the NBA. Except for the Spurs, Pistons, and Celtics, the rest of the teams rely on offense to drive defense. If their offense is not good, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the whole game. ”

"What the Mavericks need most now is to get their groove back on the offensive end, and they have two things they can take advantage of. One is Nowitzki, Novitzki's faceframe ability should be unsolvable in the whole league. The other is their interior line, the Mavericks and the Pacers are not strong on the inside, but I think the Mavericks are still stronger. ”

Zhang's reasonable analysis is quite reasonable, but the current Nowitzki still has a very obvious weakness, that is, his back ability. At this time, as long as the Pacers can limit the Mavericks for another minute or two, they will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to play a wave of offense**.

The way the Pacers defended Nowitzki was the league-wide way of defending German vehicles -- defending with small players.

Captain Jack's defense against Nowitzki was a huge success last year, and his defense was definitely one of the big factors in the Warriors' ability to create the Zào Black Eight Miracle.

Granger is staring at Nowitzki, he has two main points to defend, one is not to give him a chance to light the frame, and the other is to increase the harassment of Nowitzki's lower set, so that Nowitzki will make mistakes due to harassment from the lower body even after the frame.

It can be said that Granger's defense is still relatively in place, Nowitzki is limited, and the rest of the Mavericks offense is frustrated. Li Cheng hit a mid-range jumper again, and seeing that the difference between the two teams was going to double digits, the little general Johnson could only reluctantly continue to call a timeout.

Now Johnson also feels quite helpless, he always feels that he is now being seen through by the head coaches of the whole league. The offense is too dependent on Nowitzki, and the defense lacks a real defensive general, and the defensive intensity needs to be driven by the offensive belt. He wasn't discouraged by his loss to his teacher last year, but he has lost so many games this year that the team currently sits in seventh place in the East, and they were the creators of 67 wins in the regular season last season.

Johnson made some set-ups and brought on Stackhouse for Dampier. This is also one of his usual tricks, after switching to Starkhouse, he uses his overall mobility to play various combinations and cause damage to his opponents.

This player, who can play the main team in eighty percent of the league's teams and has a very high spirit, is willing to play as a substitute in the Mavericks, which shows that Johnson still has some ability.

The veteran is not as easy to deal with as he used to be, and he will make the best choice between offense and defense. And next, Li Cheng will face the defense of House. In the first quarter of the game, which lasted more than 7 minutes, Li Cheng scored 8 points and hit 4 of 6 shots, which is already a very good shooting rate.

"Boy, you won't have such an easy chance to score again." Stark House said to Li Cheng as soon as he came up.

Li Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Why are some people always so arrogant, if they could have stopped me with their mouths, I should have packed up my things and gotten out." ”

"Actually, it's time for you to pack up and fuck off." Stackhouse said.

Li Cheng shook his head, "I don't want to talk to people with delusions. ”

Stackhouse snorted coldly, it was Kidd's pass that had also reached his hands, and he was ready to start singleing Li Cheng. Li Cheng pretended to defend the opponent with open arms. But when Starkerhouse pouted his big ass and squeezed it like him, he deliberately got out of the way.

Just kidding, Li Cheng's defense has always been eye-to-eye defense. He never takes his defense seriously because that would affect his feel and body in attack. But Starhouse didn't know that Li Cheng would give up defense so easily, and he still wanted to use his own strength to educate him well.

Li Cheng suddenly withdrew his power, leaving the blow that Starhouse was ready to blow away. Stackhouse was a little unsteady under his feet, and Li Cheng was stunned, "What does this mean?" ”

Although his brain didn't react, his movements were not slow. "A big gift comes to the door, so don't you want a fool!"

With an outstretched arm, he chiseled Stackhouse's ball off.

"Pacers' chance to break fast!"

"This is Lee's second break of the game, and his defense mainly relies on this kind of break. It didn't make sense for him to play like that, but it was a successful way to do it in this game. Zhang said reasonably.

If Li Cheng heard such a comment, he would definitely roll his eyes. "How can Lao Tzu be defensive? If it weren't for the leakage of the flaw on the opposite side, Lao Tzu would not have broken the ball without a move. "Gambling breaks are the most likely to cause fouls, and he's not going to be okay with an opponent to the free-throw line. Not to mention the trouble of getting a foul on yourself, it is also very stupid to send the opponent a free throw.

Li Cheng thought in his mind, but his body was like a sharp arrow off the string, rushing towards the Mavericks' halfcourt. This time, Li Cheng did not choose to come on his own, but passed the ball to Granger, who was in a better position and had a better chance.

The tacit cooperation between the two broke through the Mavericks' hasty defense, and Granger smashed to the basket and jumped up with a one-handed dunk to end the offense.

Li Cheng's pass timing was very good, and Granger didn't blow his way and broke through the Mavericks' defense. The Pacers licked two more points, 19-8, and the Pacers' lead came to double digits!

However, it was clear that the Mavericks would not allow such a margin to be widened, and Kidd quickly relied on his experience to stabilize the situation, and at the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks narrowed the gap to seven points, and they did not give up the game.
