Chapter 8 Everything will get better and better

Sitting on the bench, Li Cheng did not relax in the slightest, he has been waiting for his own opportunity, he is always ready to play.

As the opponent of the Pacers in this game, the Boston Celtics showed the temperament of a championship team in the first seconds of the game.

The Big Three were all ferocious, and their rounds of bombardment quickly opened the score. And in the audience, the few greens actually conveyed an unparalleled cheer, and the cheers even overshadowed the fans of the home team.

In fact, it wasn't the small group of away fans who were so loud that they were that the home team was suppressed from the first second, making the fans lose the mood to cheer for the team.

Mark Boyce didn't criticize his team today, he said helplessly: "The difference in quality is too big, if this is the last game of the season for the Bostonians and they play out of the way, the game can already go into garbage time." ”

With only six minutes into the game, Boyce asserted that if the Pacers faced a full-fledged Celtics, they could already disarm. This may be an exaggeration, but it is also an ugly portrayal of the Walkers.

"Perhaps, we can learn from the experience of the Celtic resurrection in an instant in one summer. Last season, Boston were the worst team in the league, and after just one summer, they have become the favorites to win the championship. ”

O'Brien was on the sidelines, standing up and sitting down again, fidgeting and looking very ugly. He wasn't ready to win this game, but he didn't allow his team to lose so ugly. If this continues, the second half of the game can go into garbage time. The main thing is that his O'Brien's team has frequent low-level mistakes, how can there be a little fighting?

"There was a pause, and O'Brien finally couldn't take it anymore." Mark Boyce seemed relieved, and then he added, "O'Brien is roaring, and if I were him, I wouldn't have been able to help it." Where did it look like an NBA team was playing in the last 6 minutes? It's like an amateur team! ”

O'Brien yelled at the team that came down: "Do you still have any dignity when you are completely blown up by the opponent on both the offensive and defensive ends?" Dignity knows! Even if you don't want to win, don't you want your own dignity? Stand up, fight like a man, crush them. ”

Granger looked at O'Brien, and stopped talking. O'Brien reached out and took the tactics board handed to him by his assistant, and said, "Wait for you to come up and replace Dunleavy." Then he took the pen and drew on the tactical board, and Li Cheng stood next to O'Brien, listening and watching carefully.

Granger smiled when he heard O'Brien's words, obviously he had just wanted to make a substitution with O'Brien.

He was playing very aggrieved just now, and the defense formed by Ray Allen and Pierce made him very uncomfortable. It wouldn't be nice to have Granger alone against either of them, but Dunleavy Jr.'s containment was very limited, giving Ray Allen a chance to help defend Granger.

If the Pacers can't even open the Granger point now, they can only be suppressed by the Celtics until they die.

O'Brien is increasingly dissatisfied with Dunleavy Jr.'s appearance, and now that Daniels is recovering from an injury, Li Cheng, who has been re-examined by him, naturally gets a chance to play.

"Coming out so soon?" Li Cheng obviously didn't expect to be able to play so soon, but he had been preparing to play on the bench, and now he naturally walked onto the court with confidence.

"Dude, come on." Granger patted Li Cheng on the shoulder.

Li Cheng nodded and didn't speak, but none of them noticed Little Dunleavy's slightly gloomy gaze.

O'Brien knew that Dunleavy Jr. would be dissatisfied, but the former simply ignored the latter's dissatisfaction. A player like Dunleavy Jr., who can only play downwind, is not to be liked by O'Brien, and if it weren't for the fact that the Pacers really didn't have anyone at the No. 2 position, it wouldn't be Dunleavy Jr.'s turn to start.

The Celtics players were stunned when they saw that the Pacers were replaced by a Chinese.

"Could it be that the Indians have already surrendered?" That's a collective question from the Celtics players. But looking at the score of 7-19, it doesn't look like it!

This appearance was the earliest in Li Cheng's career, and the player he played against was the biggest name of all the players he had played. The excitement in Li Cheng's heart could not be concealed at all.

The Pacers' offense still revolves around Granger, and Ray Allen is still ready to help defend this time.

Actually, Pierce would have been enough to deal with Granger alone, but it was just a very ordinary regular season, and who wouldn't want to save some effort? Especially the Celtics, who are aiming for the O'Brien Cup.

Granger took a sudden step and immediately made a quick stop to make a shooting move, Pierce pressed against Granger, and Ray Allen copied it directly.

With a flick of his wrist, Granger passed the ball to Li Cheng, and the Celtics' defense transitioned very quickly, and Rondo pounced on Li Cheng.

The Celtic defence has been like this before, and they have had a very successful time.

Dunleavy Jr.'s mindset when playing downwind is completely different from playing against the wind. When the team is headwinded, Dunley Jr. maintains the ball as long as it is defended, and his first choice must be passing.

Seeing that it was Rondo who was defending him, Ray Allen had no intention of coming back at all, and Li Cheng made the decision to single Rondo at the first time.

The difference in height made Li Cheng easily shoot after the dribble swayed, leaning back slightly, and throwing the ball out with his wrist dexterously.

Li Cheng is 1.98 meters tall, and Rondo is 1.85 meters tall. With such a huge height gap, Rondo couldn't stop Li Cheng's shooting at all. In particular, Li Cheng chose a step-back jumper.

In an instant, cheers erupted from the scene. The goal was scored immediately after the timeout substitution, which also made the fans excited, after all, it showed that the timeout was useful and that the team could make up for it.

"What a ball! O'Brien's decision to bring on Lee was the right one. Dunleavy Jr. is simply not fit to play against the wind. Mark Boyce said: "If it weren't for Daniels' unsuitability for the team's style of play, Dunleavy Jr. would not have been able to take the starting position. ”

The Green Shirts hit a mid-range shot by Pierce in the offense, and Pierce, known as the offensive kaleidoscope, is definitely one of the top players in the league.

"Brothers, hold steady." Granger shouted and began to look for opportunities in the Celtics' dense defense.

Li Cheng is also very active in his position, and he is also looking for opportunities.

Suddenly, Li Cheng found a loophole behind Pierce, and he ran over with a shake of his body.

Tinsley slammed to the right and slammed the ball into the floor with his right hand. He used a ground-hitting pass to find Li Cheng.

I have to say that Tinsley's passing is handsome and very comfortable.

Li Cheng faced Ray Allen's defense this time, but he didn't have any mental obstacles, and his heart was very calm.

Dribble, move up a bit, and jump. He opted for a step-back jumper, and this time he had a big angle on the back. Ray Allen simply couldn't believe a rookie could throw the ball in, but it did.

The fans at the scene stood up and applauded Li Cheng's goal, and the voices of the home team fans completely overshadowed the away team fans at this moment.

"The Chinese scored 4 points in a row after coming on the court, and I bet that this Chinese sleeping lion has completely woken up. He may really have the strength that the Chinese media boast of! Mark Boyce was also unsparing in his praise.

Li Cheng also returned to the defense with a smile, today's appearance, today's qiē made Li Cheng feel that he was getting better.
