The Pacers, who failed to win back-to-back preseason games, continued to welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 14.

The core of the opponents in the two consecutive matches is the man who lost to Li Cheng at the Olympics, and both men are aiming for revenge.

Bryant is just fighting for the moment, and James is for the eternal enemy that outside commentators have commented on.

Li Cheng and James are really fatalistic enemies, whether it is Li Cheng's first 50+ number jù, or Li Cheng's tragic characteristics whenever James breaks out, and James will be tragic whenever he encounters Li Chengcheng. is enough to write a record of enmity and enmity full of highlights.

Facing the Cavaliers, Li Cheng strongly demanded in front of O'Brien that no matter what, this game cannot be lost.

O'Brien also nodded in agreement, yes, this game Pacers and Cavaliers staged a fierce battle on Cleveland's Quick Loan Field.

Lee Sung played all the things he learned this summer, and his three-point shot and dribble breakaway made the Cleveland people miserable.

And some of the newcomers that the Pacers have strengthened this summer have shown their due value.

Ibaka and Hibbert filled the Pacers' interior line, and with Lee Cheng and Granger at bay, they played with ease.

In this game, the Pacers blossomed inside and out. James wanted to win so much, but Li Cheng didn't let him win.

The Pacers' small-ball tactics are playing well, and the Cavaliers feel a little unguardable.

The Pacers' tactics are flexible and changeable, and the fast pace makes the Cavaliers' return defense a big problem.

The India twins of Lee and Granger put the Cavaliers up by 17 points in the first half, and then Lee continued his terrifying outburst in the second half, scoring 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting in nine minutes. The Pacers led by 21 points at the end of the third quarter.

Such a big lead led O'Brien to replace the two twin stars of the Pacers, Li Cheng and Granger.

The Pacers' bench took full advantage of the score advantage provided by Li Cheng, and they set up a very tough defense on the inside. James' breakaway simply couldn't give the Pacers some very effective kills.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers 101-90, and they won back-to-back preseason games.

The Pacers' back-to-back preseason schedule options are mainly for the team's five new rookies to find a little back-to-back game feeling.

The Pacers have so many rookies this season that every bit of experience they accumulate is invaluable. They need to make use of every bit of resources that allow the rookies to gain experience.

Li Cheng's hellish training has driven some people's enthusiasm for training, and recently in this period. The Pacers' rookies are improving fast. They are now working towards a championship team.

The outside media and critics were full of praise for the walker's performance.

Larry Bird pocketed almost every outstanding rookie in the draft except for the top pick.

Ibaka's toughness on the defensive end and his playmaking on the offensive end have already made many teams salivate.

Lopez's defensive ability on the inside has also made many teams who can't take advantage of the free throw line feel like cat's claws.

It's fair to say that the Pacers have taken too many good rookies in the draft.

On the 15th, Li Cheng received an achievement task from the "Top of the Basketball System".

"Task Name: Reject Losing Streak"

"Mission description: The current roster of the Pacers still needs to run in the regular season, and in the run-in stage, refuse to lose streak."

"Mission Purpose: Reject the losing streak."

"Quest Rewards: Before the next achievement quest, rewards will be released according to the player table."

After Li Cheng received this task. The whole person tensed. Through this task, he learned that the Pacers' current comprehensive strength is not as good as those old powerhouses.

Teams like the Celtics and Lakers can still beat the Pacers in seven matchups. And Li Cheng's personal factors will definitely not directly affect the final trend of the game like the Olympic final.

In the Olympic finals, Li Cheng was able to dominate the game, mostly because it was just a knockout match. If it is a 7-game battle, Li Cheng and the Chinese team will not have any chance of winning. Li Cheng knows this in his heart, and the fans and media in the outside world know even more.

The strength of the Chinese team. In the final of the Olympic Games, it was really a steal of victory.

Therefore, the Pacers still need to grow, and Li Cheng should help the team grow faster, rather than trying to bring the team victory. Give the team and fans the illusion that the Pacers are strong. But Li Cheng must also grasp the balance in this process, and must not let the Pacers lose in a row.

"It may not seem like an easy task, but I am confident that it will be done." Li Cheng said to himself secretly.

Next up for the Pacers is in the preseason. Always keep the pace of victory. The main reason is that their opponents are too weak, and they are playing on their home court against the Kings from the West after returning from Cleveland.

Chris Webb's retirement. So that the Sacramento King no longer has the sense of strength he had back then.

The Kings at their peak back then were a team that could compete with the Lakers at their peak, and their Princeton system was a team that could compete with the Lakers' OK combination. Adelman's double-shot shot saved the Kings again, but the Kings never managed to get a championship ring.

Maybe the Lakers are too strong, or maybe the Spurs are too stable, but behind the King's gorgeous style of play, there is a lot of sadness.

Now this Kings team is a typical fish belly team, and against this team, the Pacers will solve them with three shots and five divisions.

After winning this game, the Pacers lost to the Houston Rockets in the next game.

The Big Three Rockets are really a bit overwhelming, and the triumvirate combination of Yao Ming, Artest and Maddie has brought the Rockets' strength to an unprecedented level. This season, the Rockets are aiming for a championship.

Then the Pacers won again, and they faced the Los Angeles Clippers at home, also from Los Angeles, but the gap between the Clippers and the Lakers was huge.

The Clippers lost 88-96 to the Pacers on the road, snapping a four-game losing streak in the preseason.

After the game against the Clippers, the Pacers' preseason is over, and they are now waiting for the start of the new season.

Li Cheng has been very comfortable these days, and O'Brien has been looking for ways to reduce Li Cheng's playing time. If it weren't for Lee's insistence on playing, O'Brien might have kept Lee on the bench all the time, just like he did when he first came to the Pacers.

On October 31, the Pacers ushered in their first game of the regular season of the new season.

In this opener, the Pacers faced the Warriors from Golden State at home.

Before the start of this match, there was a lot of speculation and prediction about the outcome of this game.

Li Cheng's performance in the preseason is obvious to all, he maintained a super high shooting rate of 65.4% in limited playing time, and his average scoring rate is also 22.1 points per game, such a scoring efficiency shocked the world.

But the most important thing is that the Pacers' signings this summer have attracted everyone's attention, especially Ibaka and Hibbert, who have made everyone realize the horror of the Pacers.

"Larry Bird really has a knack for picking rookies." That's the general perception of Larry Bird.

Larry Bird's success in rookie selection has made the Pacers a clear contender for the final championship.

"Walker's Campaign, Are You Ready?" 》

This article from the Basketball Newspaper in India illustrates the strength of the Pacers in all aspects, and their ability in the preseason has made all the NBA giants pay attention to the Pacers' appearance.

"The rookies that the Pacers selected in the draft, they've proven what they're capable of. Ibaka's toughness and Hibbert's dominance have given this Pacers a lot of energy, and they have also formed a unique set of tactical play around Li Cheng. The Pacers' run-and-gun style of play will bring a breath of fresh air to the league, and the Young Guards Pacers are already walking in their tough footsteps, are you ready? ”

You ready? At the beginning of the season, the big names in the league have made the best preparations.

Last season's big dark horse, the New Orleans Hornets, will continue to attack the league under their queen bee Chris Paul, the Los Angeles Lakers, who failed last season, will continue their championship pursuit, and the Boston Celtics, who are thousands of miles away, will be aiming to defend the title. The Cavaliers, who were swept by the Pacers, will also start a new round of pursuit of the championship under the leadership of the little emperor.

But in this age of competition, these teams aren't the only ones who have a championship idea.

This season, the Houston Rockets have gathered the Big Three, the Dallas Mavericks with strong owners wielding US dollar support, the San Antonio Spurs who have been stable since the beginning of the new century, and the Utah Jazz, who have dedicated 20 years to the championship. The strength of these teams should not be underestimated, and the chaos in the West will also be wildly ignited by the start of the new season.

The teams in the east have to get a little cheaper, because there are too many heroes in the west, and their years of competing for hegemony will consume a lot of strength and physique. And the relatively weak East seems to be the only one where the top four can challenge for the championship.

The Pistons are old, but the Cavaliers, Pacers, Magic, and Celtics are fighting to the death for tickets to the Finals.

All the teams have come out of last season's defeat and will start to storm the championship.

The Pacers are also a strong Young Guard, and they are also aiming for a championship.

But there will only be one championship in the end, and whoever can win that championship depends on your strength and luck.

A new season, a new journey, and the Pacers' opener will begin with the Golden State Warriors. (To be continued......)
