Chapter 42: Basketball IQ
When Li Cheng was returning to defense, he made a "pistol" movement with both hands again, and then inserted his hands into both sides of his thighs to complete the action of "collecting the gun".
Hearing the fans at home calling his name, Li Cheng's heart was extremely excited, and he finally heard a fan calling his name at home one day.
Indiana fans have completely recognized Li Cheng. They will cheer for Li Cheng's goal and Li Cheng's wonderful performance.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, Li Cheng scored 9 points, but this is obviously a game affected by the "top of the basketball system", and Li Cheng will definitely not be easy next.
In the second minute of the second quarter, "Dragon King" Bosh returned to the court. And as soon as he came up, he showed the strength of his 03 golden generation leader. Bosh scored six straight points and O'Brien had to call a timeout.
Then Li Cheng and Granger were replaced, and now the two of them are the big killers in O'Brien's hands. O'Brien has already begun to think about playing more small cooperation between Li Cheng and Granger in the game. The tacit understanding between the two of them is amazing. So O'Brien dared to put the two of them on the field together with great confidence when he was not trained.
Li Cheng and Granger can play the role of pulling each other's space for each other on the court, and as long as there is space, they can both put the ball in the basket.
Soon, the situation on the field was stabilized. The cooperation between Li Cheng and Granger is like flowing water in the mountains. But he wasn't happy for Li Cheng at all, and the Raptors were tougher defending him than they were in the first quarter. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a strict guard.
They would rather let go of Granger than let Li Cheng score. In the second quarter of the game, Li Cheng had three chances to make a shot, but all of them were in vain. At halftime, the Pacers led by 6 points, but Li Cheng's personal score was 0 points, but he did have 3 assists, all of which he received from assisting Granger.
Sitting in the locker room, Li Cheng frowned after changing his clothes. He didn't know how to solve the situation on the court at this point, and he had to score 16 points in the second half. This number was not very difficult in the past, but today's Raptors are obviously here to limit him.
"Since they want to limit my individual offense, then I'll 'encircle Wei and save Zhao', I concentrate on assisting my teammates, you can't just limit my score and ignore the victory of the game!" Li Cheng thought secretly.
And for those who want to see Li Cheng's jokes, they also have to admit that Li Chen played really well. Although he doesn't have the momentum of scoring like before, he is decent on the court, scoring and assisting. And the tactical involvement he played was obviously stronger.
"Li Cheng played the game we wanted to see, and there is no need to question his ability at all." Mark Boyce said at half-time: "If you still have doubts about his ability, you can go and ask Anthony Parker how he was like when he was one-on-one with Li Cheng. ”
Everyone generally dispelled doubts about Li Cheng's ability, but his going to a nightclub will always affect his state, but this needs to be tested by time.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the fans at the scene returned to their seats, and the fans in front of the TV also focused their attention to see what Li Cheng's performance would be in the second half.
Li Cheng's treatment on the court has not changed, and Granger once quipped in the halftime: "When will you kid be able to enjoy the treatment that only Kobe's kind can enjoy on the court?" ”
However, under the strict defense of the other party, Li Cheng did not reduce his running, but ran harder.
Now Anthony Parker doesn't defend Li Cheng's singles at all, because now as long as Li Cheng has the ball, someone will come and cover him.
"Boy, don't you want to score with a step-back jumper, you've been strangled by us. Ha ha! The taste of the bag is not pleasant! "Anthony Parker was in a very good mood, he was a little disgraced by Li Cheng in the first quarter, and now he has a sense of exuberance.
"If you have the ability, don't trap Lao Tzu." Li Cheng responded.
Anthony Parker replied with a grin, "You can choose to dribble to break us!" Yes! I forgot, your dribbling is at the level of elementary school students in my eyes, and my daughters in the third grade are better than you dribble, haha! ”
"You're so old that you've lived to be a dog? Didn't you know that basketball is a five-person sport? Li Cheng said, his footsteps were repeated, and then he shook off half of Anthony Parker's body. He had reached for the ball before that, and as soon as he shook off Anthony Parker, the basketball came to him.
However, as soon as Li Chenggang received the ball, Bosh, who was ready to make up for the defense, pounced. He successfully prevented Li Cheng from making the first shot, and Anthony Parker immediately followed suit.
When Li Cheng saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He made a shot feint and then spotted the gap between Anthony Parker and Bosh and passed the ball between their bodies to Murphy. Murphy catches the ball, then strides inside, followed by a rightful two-handed dunk.
"Nice pass." Murphy ran over and high-fived Li Cheng.
O'Brien also stood up and applauded off the court, he really liked Li Cheng as a player more and more.
Next, Li Cheng seemed to forget that he still had the task of scoring, and actually started to pass the ball with peace of mind.
However, when the opportunity arises for him, he will not be relentless.
This time it was the Pacers' offense, and Lee Cheng received the basketball on the run. The Raptors' wrap-up players hesitated a little, and Li Chengdu seized this opportunity and scored directly on a jumper. After being silent for a long time, Li Cheng's score account finally came in again.
Subsequently, Li Cheng started a series of scores.
He forced Anthony Parker to score two more points, and then he got rid of a defender near the baseline for another two points.
Li Cheng scored six points in a row, which suddenly helped the Pacers extend the advantage of the score to 10 points.
At this time, Mitchell had to call a timeout.
Mitchell watched nearly three quarters off the court, and he always had a feeling that the Pacers' No. 23 player had a strange feeling in him.
O'Brien stood on the sidelines with a smile, his face like a small chrysanthemum in bloom. The team was able to sign Li Cheng, which really picked up a big treasure. Today, O'Brien saw Li Cheng's basketball IQ and passing awareness again, and his assessment of Li Cheng's potential rose to another level.
PS: I've only written such a chapter since dinner, and I'm so drunk. I don't know what's been wrong with me for the past two days, I just don't feel it. Allow me to owe another chapter today, and tomorrow I will go to the army to see a friend, and I guess I can only change it. I'll make up for the three chapters I owe later.
