Chapter 41: The Game

Before the All-Star break, Li Cheng's offensive means were even more barren than they are now. At that time, all he relied on was shooting from the spot, and taking shots from open spots that appeared behind teammates' covers, plus some reluctant singles at most.

Later, after Miller's teachings and his own hard work, he finally had an additional weapon in his arsenal - running without the ball.

Then, Li Cheng found that the style of play of running without the ball was almost like it was designed for him. After that, he relied on running without the ball and scored 50 points in Cleveland and became famous in one fell swoop.

However, because the level of Li Cheng's three-point shot is so far worse than his two-point shot, his running range will always be limited, and he will not be able to run through a wide range of runs like Miller and then complete the attack on the basket. So, when the opponent made a targeted arrangement for him, he once again found the weapon of singles with the ball in the corner of his arsenal.

was singled by Li Cheng with the ball, and Anthony Parker's face was a little unbearable. When he turned around, he was ready to return Li Cheng.

TJ Ford also had a good time passing the ball directly to Anthony Parker, and in another Mitchell set-up, it was to constantly play physical confrontations on the offensive end to defeat Li Cheng.

Anthony Parker received the ball with his back to Lee Cheng and sat down with a butt.

Li Cheng only felt that a strong force came, and he was still very disadvantaged in the hard-hitting physical confrontation.

"Damn, it's bullying me again with my body." Li Cheng secretly hated in his heart, but there was still no way.

Hit Li Cheng twice with his buttocks, Anthony Parker suddenly turned to the right, once again deceived Li Cheng's center of gravity, and then he decisively turned to the left, he deliberately hit Li Cheng again with his shoulder, and then went directly to the basket.

Li Cheng's weaknesses have been clearly studied by those old foxes in the alliance. In fact, this is also a game, and every superstar in the league has grown up like this.

When someone else gets along with you to deal with you, you have to think of ways to solve them.

This is a game between the two sides, both sides are improving, and it depends on who can completely suppress whom on the last two sides.

Li Cheng wanted to guard against Anthony Parker, but he couldn't do it at all. Not to mention that his defensive skills are not good in the first place, there is still a gap between him and the opponent in terms of physical appearance, and it is too difficult for him to defend the opponent.

However, the attrition on the defensive end has also affected his offense. He's already taken two shots in a row and two times in a row and been denied by the basket twice.

Then on the defensive end, Li Cheng was singled by Anthony Parker twice in a row.

At this time, many people's mouths began to be idle again.

"The magical Chinese lost his magical aura on the offensive end, and he was another colander on the defensive end. His good days have come to an end. ”

"Alright! I have to admit that Li Cheng has been very magical in the last few games, but he was lost in the face of the targeted defense of the Toronto people. ”

Li Cheng knew very well in his heart that this game was important to him, and this game played a pivotal role in his future growth, so he couldn't afford to fail. "Lao Tzu can't stop you, Lao Tzu can't attack you?"

The best defense is offense, and Anthony Parker wanted to drain Li Cheng's energy on the defensive end, so Li Cheng simply let go of defense. He chose to face the opponent steel head-on, if you stab me, I will return the knife to see which of us falls first.

This time it was the Pacers' offense, and Lee's run was once again in trouble. He ran to the left side of the court, the shooting spot he was most familiar with, and reached for the ball.

Lee Cheng pushed his ass against Anthony Parker, he forced the position and Tinsley dropped the ball to him.

After receiving the ball, Li Cheng quickly withdrew his strength, and then forcibly turned around, pretending to break through. As soon as he took a step, Li Cheng immediately made an emergency stop and made a shooting feint to cheat Anthony Parker's defensive rhythm, and he immediately jumped up and completed the jumper.

Li Chengcheng is like an engine that is first powered on, and then suddenly loses power. He switched the tempo and managed to fool Anthony Parker.

Next, Anthony Parker can't defend Li Cheng's running position wholeheartedly, he also has to defend Li Cheng's singles. He had to defend Li Cheng's shooter and not let him easily raise his hands to shoot when he was facing each other.

However, you can never have it both ways. What's more, Anthony Parker is still thinking about hitting Li Cheng on the offensive end!

At this time, the gap in basketball IQ became apparent, and Anthony Parker did not give up one decisively in offense and defense, he wanted to do both. The experienced Anthony Parker made the mistake of forcing a balance when he couldn't do both.

Actually, Anthony Parker can't be blamed for this. He's old, it's a contract year again, he wants to get a big contract for himself, he's a bit of a loser.

At this time, the opportunity that belonged to Li Cheng appeared, and he found the rhythm he was most familiar with.

Murphy pulled out to cover for Li Cheng, and Li Chengtong's change of speed shook off Anthony Parker, and then Murphy helped him block Bagnani who was chasing him. Li Cheng finally ran out of the open space, and Granger threw the ball over at the first time.

At this time, Bosh stepped forward to fill the position, but his position was no longer covered by Li Cheng, he only symbolically stretched out his hand.

Seeing Bosh's movements, a wicked smile swayed at the corner of Li Cheng's mouth. He deliberately leaned forward, then touched Bosh's palm with his right elbow. The moment he made his shot, the referee's whistle blew.

The basketball slammed lightly into the hoop and then into the hoop.

"Good shot!" On the Pacers' bench, the players all stood up, waving towels and cheering.

"Beautiful goal, Li Cheng scored a goal and also deceived the foul of the 'Dragon King' Bosh. And this goal, Li Cheng scored with the method he is most familiar with. He has adapted to the opponent's targeting, he has responded to the opponent's targeting. Mark Boyce yelled into the microphone.

In the stands, the Pacers fans erupted in unusually violent cheers.

Li Cheng stood at the free throw line after high-fives with his teammates, and the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball to him.

Gently slapped the ball a few times, and then shot gently, the basketball fell into the basket like an obedient baby.

Li Cheng hit three points successfully! At this point, the game was in the eighth minute of the first quarter, and the score was 22-22, and the Pacers had tied the score.

Next, the "Dragon King" Bosh's shot was missed, Foster grabbed the rebound, Granger dribbled directly to the Raptors' basket, and Li Cheng followed closely behind Granger. At this time, the Raptors only had two people, Bagnani and TJ Ford, back to defense, and the frontcourt formed a 2-on-2 situation.

Granger feigned to attack the basket, and he drew blocks from both of them and passed the ball from his crotch to Li Cheng behind him. Li Cheng stopped urgently, received the ball, and scored two more points cleanly

22-24, the Pacers overtook the score. The fans chanted in unison, "Lee-Lee-Lee-"
