When the game came up in the third quarter, the Bulls didn't launch another decent counterattack, and they played tepidly with the Pacers.

It's not that the Bulls don't want to play a wave of reversals, but their two reversals and reversals were wiped out by Li Cheng and Granger together.

In the fourth minute of the third quarter, Hinrich hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Lore Deng broke through for a dunk, but Lee responded with a jumper and Granger followed with a big hat to nail Hinrich's ball to the rebound. In the words of Mark Boyce, "Granger almost slapped the ball into the rebound. ”

Granger's block instantly detonated the audience's emotions, and the Bulls' first comeback was endless.

The Bulls' second comeback came in the fourth quarter, but Li Cheng found that the Bulls had let him go outside the three-point line.

"How dare you be unprepared?" Li Cheng hated it the most, even if it was a three-point shot that he was not good at. Every time he encounters an opponent who dares to let him shoot, Li Cheng will make the opponent pay the price. This time, the bull paid the price, and Li Cheng's three-point shot was like a sharp dagger, directly piercing the heart of the majestic bull.

Since then, the Bulls have never organized a decent counterattack, and the Pacers have built up an advantage in the second quarter to win the game 89-101.

When the Bulls finally replaced all the main players and announced their surrender, O'Brien also replaced all the main players one after another. Li Cheng was the last main player to be replaced, and when he came off the field, most of the crowd stood up and applauded him.

In the east stand, a little cute baby stared at Li Cheng with big eyes and said, "Dad, I want his jersey, can you buy it for me?" ”

Pete pinched little Ella's little face and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll buy it for you when I go out." ”

"Hmmm! Dad is so nice. Little Ella said in a milky voice.

Li Chengke didn't know that he had another little fan from today, and he was being interviewed by Nissa on the sidelines at this time.

"You don't get any good reviews from my peers, but you don't seem to be averse to being interviewed by me?" Before Nissa interviewed Li Cheng, they would all make small talk.

"What kind of players do you reporters like?" Li Cheng pretended to think, and then said: "Don't you reporters like those players who can talk about cannons?" ”

"Then why don't you seem to be reluctant to be interviewed by me?"

Li Cheng turned the wristband of his left hand and said, "Because you are beautiful." ”

Nissa was about to say something, but Li Cheng interrupted her, "You seem to like interviewing me very much, can you tell me why?" ”

Nissa rolled her eyes and said, "Because you're handsome!" ”

Li Cheng was speechless, and Nissa giggled: "I'm going to start working, if you really want to talk to me, you can invite me to have coffee after my work is over!" ”

"Next time!" Li Cheng doesn't have much of the heart to date or anything now.

Nissa pursed her lips and stopped dwelling, but handed the microphone and began tonight's interview.

The simple interview ended quickly, and Li Cheng, as a person who never fired a gun, naturally did not speak openly in front of Nisha. As long as there is a microphone in front of him, every word he says will be extremely careful.

Going back to the locker room to shower, then attending a press conference, then going to a late-night snack with Granger and then going home, Li Cheng's life after the game is always so regular.

After returning home, Li Cheng lay on the bed and entered the "Top of the Basketball System", and there was no change after watching it for a while. The experience gained tonight was not enough for him to upgrade to the next level, and now that the upgrade will no longer increase the "Perfect Body" attribute, Li Cheng's expectations for upgrading have also decreased a lot. And the "competition task" he completed was only rewarded with 40 gold coins, and Li Cheng's total gold coins rose to 150, which was too far from being able to buy an attribute point.

Exiting the "Top of the Basketball System", Li Cheng lay on the bed and soon fell asleep groggy.

Li Cheng has already gone to chat with Zhou Gong's daughter, but many media reporters and ball critics have not slept yet, they are rushing to the computer, and the protagonists of their pen are Li Cheng.

Tonight, Lee scored 27 points and four assists in the Indiana Pacers' home win over the Chicago Bulls. This is the seventh consecutive game in which Li Cheng has scored in double figures, and he has averaged 23 points per game in his last eight games.

It's hard to forget the Chinese who played a pivotal role in Indiana's lineup.

The Indiana media couldn't ignore him, and so could some of the others. A guard who averages 20+ per game is enough to be among the top guards in the league.

"Indiana Savior", Indianapolis' No. 1 selling "Ring City Morning" newspaper used such a title to highlight Li Cheng's importance.

The "Indiana Star", which followed the "Ring City Morning Post" in Indianapolis sales, used "Miller's Return, City of Shooters" to express Li Cheng's current status and importance with the Pacers.

In the past week, Li Cheng has sold more than 10,000 jerseys, which is an insane number.

"The madness of Indiana No. 23 jersey sales even surpassed the madness of Lee's appearance on the court." -- The Indiana Star.

Such a comment shows that Li Cheng's jersey sales are booming, and the "Indiana Star" also pointed out. Li Cheng's sudden outburst helped the Indiana Pacers' jersey sales increase by 200% over the same period. After Li Cheng's jersey entered the national market three days ago, his jersey sales have grown very violently, and he is now ranked 16th in the United States, closely following Suns star Steve Nash who is ranked 15th. In addition, in the Chinese market, Indiana No. 23 jersey sales have ranked third, after the Lakers No. 24 and the Rockets No. 1.

It can be seen from the sales of jerseys that Li Cheng's popularity today is no longer comparable to the second-round show that sat at the end of the bench. Now he can be said to be in full swing, and in the hearts of many Chinese fans, he is also a savior.

"The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming at the Olympics."

"The person who can carry the Chinese men's basketball team with Yao Ming in the Olympics."

"The savior of the Chinese defender."

These are all titles given to him by Chinese fans, and now no matter which forum in the Celestial Empire, as long as there is a person who is Hei Li Cheng, he will immediately be drowned in a monstrous wave of saliva. In China, Li Cheng's popularity has surpassed Yao Yi, and he is arguably the most popular basketball star in Chinese.

But in the United States, there are still many people who think that Li Cheng has serious shortcomings, and he simply can't support the Indiana Pacers.
