The Pacers took the lead after halftime, and they were still leading Boston, the top favorites this season, the undisputed leader of the East, and the team with the best record in the league at the moment.

Since Miller's retirement, Indiana fans have been aggrieved year by year, and now they have been reduced to a team that has always been fishy.

Indiana fans are bloody, they need to break out, but they don't have a chance to break out. But now they were leading Celtic at half-time and they had a chance to win the game.

It's been suppressed for too long, and there was a wave of 9 consecutive defeats that bordered on shame. Indiana fans need a chance, they need a chance to break out. They need blood to ignite the pent-up anger of the past, and they desperately need a hearty victory.

The last game the Pacers won, but there are a lot of bricks who say their victory is a sign of Lady Luck. Their essence has not changed, and it is not impossible to create the longest losing streak in the Zào League in the future. Isn't it luck to rely on the victory of a Chinese who once did nothing?

Proud Indiana fans can't stand these comments, but they can't fight back, and those bricks have a point!

But now they have their chances, and if they can take the lead over Celtic after half-time, they can win the final victory.

At the end of the first half, many fans did not leave their seats. They watched the players walk into the tunnel, and they were hoping that those players would have a better performance in the second half and deliver a victory for Indiana.

At the same time, the fans also remembered the man who turned the tide of the war - the Chinese who had been ridiculed and forgotten by them in the past.

When Li Cheng walked into the players' tunnel, many fans reached out to give him a high-five.

In the past, Li Cheng walked through the players' tunnel with his head down, because he couldn't stand the eyes of those fans.

Fans will look at him with strange and disdainful eyes, and the propaganda of the Chinese media is also indispensable.

"Li, you're enjoying the star treatment now!" Granger smiled at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Don't tease me, the game isn't over yet!" The fans have been suppressed for too long and we need to give them a win. ”

Granger's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's time for them to give them a beautiful victory." ”

At half-time, O'Brien praised the players in the dressing room and told them to build on the good work.

O'Brien also has his ambitions, he wasn't ready to win this game, but now his team is ahead, which makes his ambitions start to swell, and now he really wants to win this game. So, for the rest of the day, he was telling the players about the tactical set-up.

The breaktime flew by and the second half was about to begin. Standing in his chair, Granger yelled, "Brothers, for our dignity, for our fans, let's win this game!" ”

The excitement that had been silenced by the players at halftime was once again ignited by Granger.

"Victory!" Murphy was the first to respond.

"We want to win." Foster shouted as well.

Watching his teammates burn up again, Granger was overjoyed. O'Brien was also very pleased with the team's current form, clapping his hands and saying, "If today's game is won, tomorrow's training session will be cancelled and the team will have a day off. ”

"Roar! That's great! ”

"Let me go out and fuck those Boston bitches."

Cheers and whistles rang out.

……

In the second half, Li Cheng did not continue to play, and it was Dunleavy Jr. who played.

Now Li Cheng's position in O'Brien's heart is very different from before, but this is not enough to make O'Brien give up little Dunleavy. Dunleavy Jr.'s style of play is very soft, and he didn't play the expectations that scouts expected of him in the draft, but Dunleavy Jr.'s strength is still good, at least he has experienced much more tests than Li Cheng.

Li Cheng is also very aware of the current situation, and he is very satisfied with the current situation. Take it one step at a time! He knows exactly how much potential he has.

Dunleavy Jr. is indeed suitable for playing downwind, and his table in the third quarter of the game is quite passable. At least those who have not been suppressed again dare not make a move.

"Hart, what do you think of these two?" O'Brien asked his assistant softly.

Hart knew that O'Brien was asking about Li Cheng and Dunleavy Jr., he frowned, and said, "In terms of strength, Dunleavy Jr. is higher than Lee, both in terms of timing and running position." ”

'But in the game, we need players who can push their true level to the limit. Obviously, Dunleavy Jr. was much worse than Lee at this point. In these two games, Lee seems to have changed a person. Every time he appears, it is as shocking as a divine soldier descending from heaven. In particular, the confidence revealed in his eyes is even more valuable. And now he has a lot of potential. ”

O'Brien's eyes were fixed on the game on the field, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered, "What is your opinion?" ”

Hart looked at Li Cheng, who was sitting on the bench and carefully observing his every move on the field, and said: "Let's temporarily let Lee and Dunleavy Jr. share the playing time equally, and then take a look at their table xiàn after a while, mainly Lee's table xiàn." ”

O'Brien nodded, he meant the same thing.

O'Brien and Hart were discussing on the sidelines, but the situation on the field was even more anxious.

The Pacers did overpower the Celtics in terms of momentum. But the Big Three are not vegetarians either, they are all battle-hardened veterans. The main thing is that the Pacers are too far behind the Celtics in terms of strength. It is already a very rare thing for them to be able to stalemate with the Celtics.

Li Cheng was only substituted at the end of the third quarter, and O'Brien hoped that this time Li Cheng could also change the situation on the court like a divine soldier, but this is not what Li Cheng can do now.

In the third quarter, Li Cheng made 1 shot, but failed to score a goal. In the final third quarter, the two teams were tied 72-71, with the visitors in front and the home team behind.

"The last quarter will be the final battle!" A lot of fans were hooked, they hadn't seen such a great game on their home stadium for a long time. And the opponent is also one of the pinnacle of the league - the Boston Celtics.

Li Cheng casually shook the bottle of Gatorade in his hand on the sidelines, but he was thinking in his heart. "Dunleavy Jr. played well in the third quarter, I didn't get any chances. But in the fourth quarter, I should have a chance, and I must cash in when the time comes. If the team wins today, I will still be the hero of the team's victory, and the days will be better. ”

The gap between the two teams is now only one point, and it remains to be seen who will win in the end.

However, the Celtics are playing away from home, and they are still back-to-back away games, and the Green Shirts will not fight hard for an ordinary regular season in the end, and the Pacers still have a good chance as long as they can maintain their previous momentum. However, to achieve this final victory, the Pacers still can't afford to relax a little.
