"Sean, is your body okay?" Seeing that Li Cheng was about to play again, Adelman called Battier to his side and asked.

Battier scratched his head and said, "I've been fighting with that kid with all my might just now, and if he still shoots in that situation, his consumption will only be greater than mine." Even if he's younger than me, the two of us should be about the same level of fitness by now. ”

"Okay, then I'll leave the task of defending him to you." Adelman said, patting Battier on the shoulder, apparently the task he had given Battier now was key to whether or not the Rockets could win tonight.

Battier nodded lightly and took off his training uniform to get ready to play.

The short timeout was soon over, and the final meeting between the two teams began. This was an ordinary regular season, but when it came to this part, it also played a bit of a tragic atmosphere. Who is not good at winning in the pros? At this time, who will admit defeat?

Even if the best person in this league is Kobe, no one will admit that he is less competitive than Kobe.

Yang Yu opened the last beer and began to stare at the TV intently after taking a big sip.

Pete Jr. was also led by his father to watch the game in a regular fan bar in Indianapolis. At the moment, there was a circle of Pacers fans in front of the bar's large-screen TV. To be able to see the team he loves rise again halfway through the season is a blessing for all those who love the Pacers.

At this moment, it was the Pacers' offense, and Li Cheng just stuck his position on the left side of the free throw line and reached for the ball.

"Damn, this kid's body has recovered so quickly? He wants to drag me down? Battier gritted his teeth and pressed them tighter.

And this time Li Cheng's action was once again unexpected by Battier, only to see Li Cheng feign a false shot, and then suddenly turned to the left, and his left hand opened to block Battier's advance. In fact, if he didn't block it with his left hand, Batil would no longer be a threat, and his first turn just now had already squeezed Batil out of the way.

"Breakthrough! Li Cheng's breakthrough! Beautiful, he squeezed Battier into the penalty area, Yao Ming came up, this was the first collision between Li Cheng and Yao Ming in this game. ”

In the face of Yao Ming's top defense, Li Cheng did not back down, and he rushed to the basket without slowing down.

At this time, Li Cheng felt that the air was much less bound to him, and the originally viscous air now seemed to be more like a blowing breeze.

With an instantaneous outburst and a strong first step, Li Cheng showed unprecedented combat effectiveness.

Battier just felt that the person he was defending was not Li Cheng, but LeBron James, and that strong body was not at all something he could defend when he was close to exhaustion.

"Is this still the same person?" Battier was puzzled, but he struggled to catch up after Li Cheng.

At this time, Li Cheng had already made contact with Yao Ming's body, his shoulders sank, his lack of preparation and the huge consumption of his body Yao Ming's feet were unstable, and he actually took a step backwards.

Yao Ming's heart sank, and he quickly reached out and hugged Li Cheng, trying to stop Li Cheng's attack. But Li Cheng jumped up, and then twisted his waist and threw the ball out at a suitable step.

The ball that hit the rebound crashed into the basket as the referee blew the whistle.

"Beautiful 2+1, Li Chengzhen is a magic soldier of the Pacers! As soon as he came out of the game, he used a three-pointer to help the Pacers stabilize the situation and look at his free throws. ”

"With another free throw, the Pacers once again narrowed the deficit to four points, and it was really an up-and-down game."

And in retrospect, Maddie also hit a very beautiful pull-up jumper.

"Seven points short!" Li Cheng gritted his teeth and calculated, this is the difference between his score and Maddie.

Maybe it would be better for him to pass a few balls and mix up a few assists at this time, but now if he passes the ball again, the Pacers will definitely not win the game. He now has to get his own score, his own strength, to get his team back ahead and win the game in the end.

Under the inspiration of Maddie, Li Cheng's competitive spirit was also stimulated, and he gritted his teeth and vowed to win the battle with Maddie and win the whole game.

It was still a beautiful turn to break through, this time Battier guessed that Li Cheng was going to do this, he was fully prepared, but he was still repelled by Li Cheng's sudden explosive power. If his body is abundant now, he will be able to guard against Li Cheng. But his current running is supported by willpower, and the original physical energy in his body has been exhausted, and now he is the end of the strong crossbow.

Facing Yao Ming again, facing the big brother of the national team, Li Chengke never thought of being soft, he jumped high again and sent the ball into the basket. And Yao Ming actually retreated half a step when he saw Li Cheng's indomitable momentum.

Li Cheng once again broke through to complete the attack.

Then Maddie's shot hit the iron, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, but was cut off by Li Cheng after being ghostly approached.

Li Cheng dribbled the ball directly into the Rockets' halfcourt, although his dribbling skills were clumsy, but how could he make a mistake in the entry-level action of running with the ball?

When Maddie wanted to come up and block before, he had already been given his first step. This is the reason for Maddy's defensive attitude, and it is also the reason why he underestimates the enemy. After Li Cheng ran out, Maddie didn't have the strength to chase back, and his physical strength was not full at this time, so he wouldn't waste his strength on such a run.

This may be the biggest difference between Maddie and Kobe, if this ball is Kobe, even if he is desperate to break his leg, he will chase Li Cheng.

On the halfway point, he dodged a block from Hayes, who had already retreated, and hit again with a light shot.

"It's equalized! What a divine soldier, a Chinese divine soldier in Indiana! The narrator was screaming.

"Amazing Chinese, he is our most valuable asset." In a bar in Indianapolis, fans shouted with their glasses raised.

"What a beautiful goal, I love you!" Yang Yu raised his head and killed the last beer he heard.

On the Pacers' bench, there was another huge cheer, and even O'Brien clenched his fists tightly and waved them twice.

The audience at the Toyota Center presented a realm of ice and fire, with half of the Chinese fans cheering hard, and the other half of the Rockets fans completely silent.

Then the momentum of the Indiana Pacers took advantage of the situation to play a wave of offense, and Li Cheng then scored another 8 points, and he had already scored 23 points in the entire fourth quarter, and the Pacers' last 4 minutes were all covered by Li Cheng alone. On the other side, Maddie was not to be outdone, but in the final confrontation between the two, he still lost to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng also managed to score 46 points in this game, and the Chinese audience at the scene was shouting, "50, 50!" Apparently trying to get Lee Cheng to score 50 points again, the Pacers managed to overtake the Rockets by 4 points, and Lee also surpassed Maddy's 44 points in the game.

Maddie still had assists in the final period, but Li Cheng was gone. His biggest task today was to help the team win while scoring more than Maddie, and now his goal has clearly been achieved.

There are 56 seconds left in today's game, and in front of Li Cheng, who is in such a hot state, it seems that the rocket has no chance. However, Adelman did not replace the main team, and he wanted to hold on to it to see if there would be a miracle.

But in the end, his persistence became the one thing he regretted the most this season......
