Chapter 285: One City Behind

Just returned to the court, Li Cheng held the ball in front of him, and he dribbled the ball back and forth outside the three-point line. Li Cheng rarely uses this style of play, he is not a sticky person, but once he chooses to hold the ball and create a zร o opportunity, then he will only shoot when he gets the opportunity, if there is no particularly good opportunity, he will definitely pass the ball.

Li Cheng's style of play has always been very reasonable, which is why many coaches in the league want to get Li Cheng.

Seeing Li Cheng hovering outside the three-point line with the ball, Granger immediately knew what Li Cheng was thinking, and he immediately started running without the ball. Although Granger's off-ball running is not up to Li Cheng's level, he has been with Li Cheng for so long, and his off-ball running has some power.

The basketball in Li Cheng's hand swung back and forth in his hand, and Carter couldn't guess Li Cheng's next move at all. Li Cheng glanced at Carter and rushed forward suddenly, Carter thought that Li Cheng was going to break through, but he didn't retreat, he directly stepped forward and hugged Li Cheng tightly.

If Carter chooses to step back at this time, Li Cheng's shooting will definitely make him understand that for one of the most terrifying guys in the league today, giving him a little shooting space anywhere will be a devastating blow.

Carter's choice was correct, but Li Cheng didn't make a direct breakthrough next, he received a crotch dribble and ran to the left low post.

The defensive opportunities of the Nets were dragged by Li Cheng alone, Li Cheng's power is too great, and he definitely has the ability to destroy a team.

On the other side, Granger had already flashed out of space, and Li Cheng made a sharp stop, and then made a move to throw the ball to Granger.

Simmons, who was defending Granger, was out of position, Granger's side was empty, and Yi Jianlian immediately went out to make up for it. Da Lopez was also attracted by Li Cheng's movements, and at this time the Nets' defensive formation was completely chaotic.

However, Li Cheng did not pass the ball to Granger, but threw the ball to the basket with his back to the basket.

Da Lopez's attention was on Granger. Lopez Jr. squeezed his brother out of the way in an instant, and then he jumped to his feet, grabbed the basketball with both hands and smashed the ball into the hoop.

"Li Cheng's pass is so beautiful, too weird. His series of moves completely broke up the Nets' defense, and then his pass was too weird, and Lopez Jr.'s goal was really no pressure. โ€

"Li Cheng's passing is very comfortable, and it's clear that this guy is an all-round fighter on the basketball court."

"Sometimes I really can't think of anything else that Li Cheng can't do."

"I can shoot suddenly, I can pass the ball, I can create opportunities for my teammates. A team like this is a gem of a team. โ€

"What's more, he's only 20 years old. If he continues to enrich his face frame skills and his back-to-back skills, his future is limitless. โ€

"A defender should be 28 years old. And with the development of modern basketball, players are forming earlier and earlier, and their peak is getting longer and longer. I think in a year or two Li Chengcheng will enter his peak, and then Li Chengcai will be truly unstoppable. โ€

Li Cheng's pass makes the commentator's excitement mobilized again, Li Cheng doesn't give you that kind of explosive feeling on the field, but he is like dancing a very beautiful dance on the field, and before you know it, your attention will be attracted by him, and then you will fall in love with the way this player plays.

"Maybe this is the aristocracy on the court!"

"Li Cheng rarely has physical contact with his opponents, and he may never have a violent rush on him. But any technique he uses will appear elegant and graceful. โ€

Li Cheng passed a very beautiful ball to Lopez Jr., and Carter naturally wanted to return the favor to Li Cheng.

Carter made a strong run to the Pacers' interior and then forced a pass to Lopez with no defender in front of him.

In this case. Whether Carter came on his own or passed the ball to Lopez, he could easily score a goal. Da Lopez was a little unresponsive, but the opportunity was so good that he easily put the ball in the basket with a cricket wipe.

Carter's ball has a bit of an assist, but he doesn't want to give him an assist. Rather, it's about brushing the jรน for Da Lopez.

Carter's view of the ball was almost entirely focused on his previous breakaway, but his breakthrough still drew applause from some fans.

Carter is no longer the league's hottest star, and he's already starting to slip off his prime. But when he's desperate for a game, few people can guard him one-on-one.

Slowly, the audience also discovered some strange situations. Li Cheng and Carter seem to be brushing assists, and the two of them are both called "Lopez." โ€

"Today, Li Cheng and Carter seem to be very keen to pass the ball to the Lopez brothers, I don't know if there is any agreement between the two of them."

"I think it's likely, maybe there's a game going on between the two of them!"

"Maybe it's going to be a very interesting topic after the game!"

"Who's to say it isn't!" The narrator said with a wink.

Soon, the second quarter was over, and neither Lee Cheng nor Carter had very explosive scoring moments, but their successive passes still got the fans excited.

It may be a different kind of contest, but Li Cheng and Carter are unsparing on the court, and this kind of performance is also very exciting.

In the first half of the game, Li Cheng and Carter brushed up 13 and 12 assists respectively, which is already comparable to some of the top point guards in the league.

And the Lopez brothers' numbers have also risen with the efforts of Li Cheng and Carter.

Lopez Jr. had 19 points and seven rebounds, while Lopez Jr. had already chipped in 21 points and seven rebounds.

When it comes to rebounding, the Lopez brothers seem to be on par, but when it comes to scoring, Lopez Jr. really seems to be inferior.

However, for such a small gap, Li Cheng did not take it to heart. He's more skilled at passing than Carter, so he feels he should be able to bridge the gap between Lopez Jr. and his older brother.

After a half-time break, the game continued.

In the second half of the game, Li Cheng and Carter were still engaged in a battle between them, and the team's victory or defeat did not seem to be in their hearts.

The scores have been tied, but the stars of these two teams don't seem to make a move to help them take the lead.

For a super scorer like them, it's much easier to score on their own than to give a teammate a chance to score, especially if they also need to give a specific person a chance to score. But neither of them seemed to have chosen an easier way to finish the match.

However, the more complicated the play between Li Cheng and Carter, the happier the fans became, because it meant that they were able to enjoy more star performances.

Over time, Lopez Jr. fell to the bottom of his rivalry with his older brother. He played a little bit more today.

In the eyes of many people, Li Cheng has the physical fitness to hit from the sky to the ground, but in fact, Li Cheng's physical fitness in the NBA is even at the upper middle level, and he can sometimes persevere, mostly because of his willpower and the potion of the "top of the basketball system".

Lopez Jr. naturally does not have the physical fitness of Li Cheng, and he will need to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game for a longer time.

In addition, the rest of the Pacers also have to share some of the ball, even if Li Cheng wants to help Lopez Jr. brush up jรน, but he can't catch the ball in his hand every time, and he can't just feed Lopez Jr. regardless of others.

Carter has no such concerns, and the Nets have been predicted by many to be the bottom team this year. And many people can also see what the uniform team of the tennis team wants to do. They just want to mess up for two years, and then fight for James after two years.

The Nets are no longer very optimistic about the team's record, and Carter has no burden of winning or losing on the court, so he can play as much as he wants.

As time went on, the Pacers slowly lost the advantage in the score, but in the battle between the Lopez brothers, Lopez Jr. eventually fell to the bottom line.

In the third quarter, Lopez Jr. only had 4 points and 2 rebounds, while his brother had 8 points and 3 rebounds.

The decline of Lopez's own state occupies a very important reason for this, and Li Cheng can only shake his head helplessly for such a result.

"Time is really a very important thing for some rookies. Experience is such a thing as a novice that is just entering the NBA. At this time, Li Cheng also had some doubts in his heart, he seemed to adapt to the NBA immediately after obtaining the "Top of the Basketball System", and it seemed that he did not have those difficulties that he had encountered outside the court.

Li Cheng couldn't think of the reason, and in the end he could only attribute it to the strength of the "top of the basketball system".

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers extended their lead to 11 points, but Carter was still in full swing. He doesn't care if the team wins or loses, they are ready to lose against the Pacers, who have been in the limelight lately, but if they can win against Li Cheng, it will be a blessing for him personally.

In the final quarter of the game, the Pacers' table was still strong, while Lopez Jr.'s table was even weaker. Fortunately, Da Lopez's fitness has also been problematic, and today he has played more time than before, and he has also appeared to have some uncomfortable appearances.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Nets 109-89 at home, but in the bet between Lee Cheng and Carter, Lee Cheng became the lagging side.

Lopez Jr. had 26 points and 15 rebounds, while Lopez Jr. had 32 points and 15 rebounds. (To be continued......)
