Chapter 40: The Starters
As the sun sets, a slanting moon slowly rises, and after the rush hour of getting off work, the whole city slowly falls silent.
Once known as the town of sleep, the city was desperately short of recreation, and its residents went to bed early. Hence the name Sleep Town.
With the development of the times, the name "Sleep Town" has become a thing of the past. In those days, one of the biggest events for Indianapolis fans was to go to the Conses Center to see a Pacers game.
Tonight, after dinner, the fans gathered again at the Consex Center. Later, the Indiana Pacers vs. Toronto Raptors game will be played here.
Although Li Cheng was called "a meteor falling into the abyss" by some media, Raptors head coach Mitchell still made enough preparations before the game.
The Pacers have won four of their last six games, and those four games were won because their opponents despised Lee.
There have been four times, because of the contempt for Li Cheng, and Li Cheng was defeated by the previous experience. Mitchell couldn't afford not to pay attention to Lee Cheng anymore.
After watching the Pacers' game video repeatedly, Mitchell decided to replicate the Nets' approach to Lee Cheng in the previous game.
On the offensive end, he frequently hit him with his body. On the defensive end, he tried his best to force Li Cheng out of the three-point line and prevent him from receiving the ball comfortably inside the three-point line.
And Mitchell also prepared some small means, such as Li Cheng's shooting hand was really hot, so he took turns to hit his hand, and he used as much strength as he could, until he was blinded.
Li Cheng knew that the opponent would make targeted arrangements for him, but he would never have thought that the opponent's targeting of him had risen to a terrifying level. If they had dealt with Kobe Bryant like this, Peter Pan would never have scored 81 points on them.
At this time, Li Cheng was being interviewed by Nissa Cassandra. And before that, Li Cheng learned from his greetings with Nissa that she was the one who secretly photographed little Dunleavy. Yesterday she happened to be sitting next to little Dunleavy and witnessed that qiē.
After a casual greeting, Nissa raised the microphone in her hand, "Lee, will you be able to get back into shape tonight?" Reversing the previous decline? ”
"No problem at all, tonight I will use my watch xiàn to crush those rumors from the outside world. I did go to a nightclub with my teammates before, but not the day before I played New Jersey away, so it was complete nonsense that my form was affected by going to a club. Tonight they will see what it is like for me after the Fall. ”
"Okay, then I wish you a good game tonight. Also, what do you think about things about Dunleavy Jr.? Has the conflict between you and him been resolved? There have been rumours that he has been suspended from the team. ”
Li Cheng turned the wristband on his left hand and said, "The contradiction between me and Mike has been resolved, as for whether the team has banned him internally, you can pay attention to the team's official website." ”
Li Cheng did not reject Nisha's interview, but enjoyed it a little. Maybe it's because of Nissa's beauty, or maybe it's because of something else!
Li Cheng returned to the locker room, and Granger teased again: "You kid is really enjoying the star treatment now!" ”
"You've been enjoying this for a long time, haven't you?" Li Cheng glanced at Granger and said.
The players waited in the dressing room for the start of the game, and that wait was not too long, and soon the game started.
Foster won the jump ball, Granger controlled the ball, he passed it to Tinsley, and the Pacers qualified to attack first.
Because of Dunleavy Jr.'s death, Li Cheng took his starting position, and today was his first start for the Pacers.
Li Cheng rested well today, and he swept away the fatigue of the last game. But he found himself in a quagmire even deeper than the previous game.
Defending Li Cheng is Anthony Parker, a very experienced veteran who has played in Europe and is familiar with the styles of various players. He kept squeezing Li Cheng with his body, even if Li Cheng could run into the three-point line, he would not let him receive the ball comfortably.
After several consecutive attacks, Li Cheng did not run out of the right position, or he couldn't receive the ball at all.
"Hey! Look at our super pitcher, didn't he threaten to shatter the rumors? Now tell me, where is he? ”
"Yes! Could it be that the walker is on four people? ”
Maybe the Pacers' commentary will be in doubt, but the Toronto commentary won't. Li Cheng opened 3 minutes, and there was no sense of storage at all, and the Toronto commentator began to complain.
Li Cheng was very uncomfortable, but he knew that he had to think of a solution to the problem. It is obviously unrealistic to force a three-point shot, so you can only choose to hold the ball and play alone.
Because Li Cheng was suppressed at this point, the Pacers had no advantage at all on the field. At this point, the score was 13-10, and the Pacers trailed by 3 points.
"Rookie, aren't you a fast runner? Is it accurate? Run! Vote! Catch the ball under my defense! "Anthony Parker is on defense, and he doesn't stop talking.
"Damn, isn't it annoying that the old bird always follows me? I don't have that to do with you. In this attack, Li Cheng also began to fight back verbally.
Anthony Parker said disdainfully: "Then I'll take a look if you come in!" ”
Li Cheng scolded secretly, and then decisively changed his playing style.
The Raptors are indeed arranged, their rotation in defense is very smooth, and they would never let Li Cheng receive the ball and shoot if they are willing to miss others.
While Li Cheng lamented that the "top of the basketball world" was powerful, he also scolded the bullshit task all over again. This mission really opened up the hell mode for his game!
With his ass against Anthony Parker, Li Cheng reached for Tinsley for the ball.
Tinsley saw Li Cheng's action, he knew that the team had to open the situation Li Cheng's point had to be opened, and he passed the ball out after a false shake.
Against Anthony Parker, Li Cheng started to play singles.
Although his strength can't completely push the opponent away, as long as he can maintain his position with the ball, it is enough. He thrust behind his back and slammed his left elbow into Anthony Parker's chest, then shot to the left, then immediately turned to the right, jumped backwards and flicked his wrist.
"Huh!" The Nets swaggered the net, and Li Cheng made his first shot today and hit it for the first time.
Back-to-back singles and then step-back jumpers were Li Cheng's favorite singles moves in the past. It's just that his body suffers too much in the face of a group of American muscle\sticks, so his hard-working movements have achieved nothing. But now that his body has been given the bonus of "Perfect Body", it is barely enough for him to use this move.
This goal was scored and immediately made many people shut their mouths. But tonight he has to score at least 25 points while still shooting 45 percent, and he still has a lot of work to do.
