"Isn't it a pitcher?" Li Cheng was a little dazed, but he really didn't have the systematic training of pitchers.

What Li Cheng did in the past was to open up space for his teammates to attack and create opportunities for his teammates according to the requirements of the coach. At the same time, when there is an open space, try to seize the opportunity to throw.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Cheng did not get a chance to play, but Hamilton did not play, and his idea of observing Hamilton off the court was disappointed.

Most of the second quarter of the game was a battle between the two benches, but in the bench encounter, the Pacers once again fell behind. Like the starters, the Pistons' bench players played very steadily. They don't allow the slightest threat in their attack, and they try to choose the easiest way to attack. In other words, if they can score with a layup, they will never dunk.

When Hamilton was replaced, O'Brien also replaced Li Cheng. Today, O'Brien's idea is very clear, let Li Cheng learn in actual combat, and at the same time, he is ready to give up this game.

In the confrontation with Hamilton, Li Cheng suffered a lot.

He faced Ray Allen less time in his last game and more against Tony Allen and James Posey. However, even when Li Cheng faced Ray Allen, he was not as uncomfortable as he was today.

Hamilton changes his tempo on the run, and this guy is like a mouse, drilling into a gap when he sees it. What broke Li Cheng the most was that Hamilton didn't just shoot, he would break through at the right time. Hamilton is worse than Ray Allen, I'm afraid it's the three-point shot and defense! But in the face of people like Hamilton, Li Cheng was even more at a loss.

Li Cheng did not have the courage of the previous game, and more of his energy was consumed on the defensive end.

At halftime, the Pacers trailed by 11 points, 31-42. Looking at their scores, it took only 31 points in two quarters to show how tightly the Pistons limit them.

At half-time, O'Brien didn't blame his players. He knows how far his team is off and he wasn't prepared to win this game, which was a surprise to him after winning the last game against Celtic.

After the start of the second half, the Pacers still showed no signs of turning the tables on the court. Except for a few breakaway games from Granger, the Pacers never made a wave.

In the final quarter of the game, the Pacers were already behind by a large score, and Li Cheng was ready to try Hamilton's method to deal with Hamilton. He started running from the left, accelerated around the baseline to the right, and made a gesture to get past Murphy as he ran to him. Murphy also thought that Li Cheng was going to cover with him, but Li Cheng suddenly stopped when his left foot stepped to Murphy's side, and then quickly turned around and ran back.

Granger, who was playing alone with the ball, had no idea how to attack, and he immediately threw the ball out after seeing that Li Cheng seemed to be shaking off the defense. Li Cheng received the ball and immediately shot the basketball, and with a bang, the basketball hollowed into the net.

Hamilton was shocked by Li Cheng's ability to learn, but he also secretly called him out. The next few attacks can be said to be Li Cheng and Hamilton singing double reeds.

The result of the battle between the two of them was undoubtedly Hamilton's victory. His choice of position is very vicious, and Li Cheng's skills are too poor compared to him. However, Li Cheng also threw two very beautiful balls with his running position, which made Hamilton have to impress him.

After obtaining the "Top of the Basketball System", Li Cheng found that his learning ability seemed to have become stronger. In the same game, he was able to "give back to the other in his way", which is the best proof that his learning ability has become stronger.

The Pistons had extended the margin to 26 points by six minutes of the fourth quarter, and O'Brien took the lead in replacing the main player to announce his surrender. Sanders (Pistons head coach) also took advantage of the situation to replace the main player, and the game officially entered garbage time.

The main forces of both sides were replaced, but Li Cheng stayed on the field. O'Brien felt that Li Cheng seemed to have a slight understanding, so he let him experience more on the court.

Because of the reduction of the opponent's strength, and at the same time there is no need to be distracted to defend, Li Cheng is playing more and more smoothly on the court, and he has realized all the things he has realized when he is against Hamilton.

In the last 6 minutes of the game, Li Cheng shot 5 of 7 and scored 10 points. However, his 10 points had no effect on the final outcome of the game. In the end, the Pacers lost the game 86-98 at home.

Li Cheng shot 8-of-18 and hit 2 free throws in the game, scoring 18 points. The number jù is not bad, but 10 of those 18 points come from garbage time, and you might get into some trouble after the game.

However, Li Cheng didn't care about whether he would get into trouble after the game. This game means a lot to him and what he has gained from this game will last him a lifetime.

After the game, the fans were not too disappointed. Although the team lost the game, they saw a dynamic Pacer in the game, and energy is a sign of hope.

Fans are the best talkative group in the world, and their love for a team is perhaps second only to family, friendship and love in the world. For today's walkers such a table xiàn, they do not blame. And the Granger and Li Chengdu that they are concerned about have good performances, which is enough for them.

Mark Boyce said after the game: "Today our team lost the game and the fans don't get discouraged by that. Today's Pacers can give people hope, hope to make the playoffs, and hope to rise again. ”

When Li Cheng walked off the field, Hamilton stopped him on the sidelines, "You played very aggrieved today, right?" Reggie Miller did that to me before, but I gave it back to him in the game very quickly. What I did to him, that is, what he did to me. ”

Li Cheng glanced up at Hamilton, who had already taken off his mask, and said, "Soon I will also return to you what you did to me." ”

"I'm looking forward to our next encounter."

"I won't lose again next time." Li Cheng said high-spiritedly.

"You have a lot of potential, but you won't be able to win against me next time."

Li Cheng waved his fist and said, "Then let's see!" ”

Hamilton didn't say anything more, turning and walking towards the visitors' tunnel.

Li Cheng looked at Hamilton's back as he turned to leave, and a gleam of gratitude flashed in his eyes. Today, he learned something very important in Hamilton – the soul of a pitcher. After grasping the core thing, Li Cheng also has a goal, and he believes that he will become stronger than his predecessors.
