Chapter 152: Defend with your mouth
The referee threw the ball into the air, and the Pacers' game against the Knicks finally began.
From the first second of the game, all the tempo was in the direction that the media and fans had hoped for.
The Pacers' players were obviously not prepared to attack on their own, and their main tactic today was to give Li Cheng a one-on-one opportunity to play Randolph.
This is especially true of the Knicks, who have run out of hope for their team, and the players are groggy and eager for the team to take a vacation. The game meant nothing to anyone but Randolph. The rest of the people wish Randolph had all the points to be done!
As a native of Indiana, Randolph did not feel "home" at all in front of his fellow villagers. As soon as he got the ball, he was booed endlessly by the fans in the stadium. You know, Randolph provoked Li Cheng, the miracle son of the Indiana.
"We're going to watch you put on a show tonight, all the ball is yours, we're all resting." Granger casually threw the ball at Li Cheng as if he were throwing garbage.
Li Cheng pursed his lips and said, "I can't prevent his attack." ”
"You really want to dominate the ball alone! I'm polite to you, you're serious. ”
"Grass ......" Li Cheng burst into a foul mouth.
However, the other players of the Pacers ran out of the three-point line, and the Knicks players were also happy to be on-court models on the court, so they naturally ran out with the Pacers' players.
At this time, Randolph stood in front of the free throw line and put on a standard defensive posture, while Li Cheng controlled the ball outside the three-point line. In the search for space and routes to attack.
Li Cheng saw Randolph standing in front of the free throw line, and he had no intention of saving at all. He sighed in his heart, "Lao Tzu has a three-point difference." But if you put me as far as the sea, I can't still throw it in, can I? ”
Li Cheng stepped diagonally to the three-point line, and raised his hand to make a three-point shot.
The basketball flew into the basket with precision, and the corner of Randolph's eye twitched violently. Two steps ran to Li Cheng's side, "You shot like this?" You don't even dare to go head-to-head with me? ”
"Do you have a problem with your brain? If you let go of me so far away, I won't vote, you should be stupid! Li Cheng rolled his eyes and replied.
"You're ruthless, boy!"
The Knicks' offense, Dujon dribbled the ball across the half court and passed it directly to Randolph. He didn't bother to look at his teammates' movements. In fact, his teammates did not run the position, and they all became models in the field.
The Knicks' players have little desire to attack, but the Pacers are different. Randolph's forced basket was pressed to the rebound by Murphy and Foster combined.
"You're fooling!" Randolph rushed in front of Li Cheng again.
Li Chengzhen was laughed at by this black fat man, "How idiot are you?" You want me to go inside and wrestle with you? ”
At this time, Tinsley threw the ball to Li Cheng, and this time Randolph was ready to defend his shot.
"Left or right?" Li Cheng asked.
"Whichever way you come from, I can guard against it, boy, don't be too arrogant." Randolph's hideous ground hole highlighted his anger at the moment.
"Oh! I'm not talking about my breakout, I mean when you do my shooting background. Is it to my left or right. ”
"Left!" Randolph's voice almost squeezed out between his teeth, "You're going to get a taste you haven't tasted since you entered the League, you've never been able to fight like anything before!" ”
Li Cheng didn't care about what Randolph said crookedly behind him, he said indifferently. "As you wish, I'm going to do two hip dribbles in a row and then take a step from your right and shoot."
Li then began to dribble and was ready to break through Randolph's right to shoot.
Two fancy crotch dribbles in a row. caused a burst of exclamations from the fans at the scene, and then Li Cheng slid to the right. He forced his shoulder against Randolph and jumped to shoot.
Li Cheng did everything like he said. Dribble twice under the hip and then slide to the right to shoot directly.
Randolph kept staring at Li Cheng's shoulder, he didn't expect Li Cheng to really make a move as he said, but he was still a little prepared in his heart. But after he saw Li Cheng's shooting action, he was a little desperate. He jumped desperately and stretched his arms desperately, but Li Cheng's ultra-large angle backward jumper made Randolph feel a sense of hope.
Li Cheng seemed to be drifting in the air, his body slid to the right for some distance in the air, and Randolph was helpless to deal with him.
The basketball slashed through the air in a beautiful arc and crashed into the hoop with the exclamations of the fans in attendance.
After the opening game, Li Cheng scored five points in a row, and the Pacers led the Knicks 5-0 at home.
"Fatty, how do you feel?"
"Humph!" Randolph ignored him and slowly ran to the opposite half to get ready to attack.
Dujon dribbled across the half court again and then handed the ball to Randolph.
This time Randolph didn't get inside again, he controlled the ball near the free throw line, ready to run over Li Cheng and then attack the basket.
But this time Li Cheng was one step away from Randolph, and he didn't even want to go up to defend his shot.
Randolph thought that Li Cheng was afraid, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Fatty, you can shoot? I'm standing here, and if you have the ability, you can vote. Suddenly, Li Cheng's voice appeared in Randolph's ears.
Randolph was tickled by Li Chengqi's teeth, and as soon as his brain was hot, he jumped up and threw the ball.
"Wow! It turned out to be a three-not-touch. Mark Boyce exclaimed, "It seems that Li Cheng's trash talk has had a very big impact on Randolph." ”
Indeed, Randolph was in a bit of a trance after throwing a three-no-stick, and he forgot to provoke Li Cheng again.
In the next few attacks, Li Cheng all shot on top of Randolph's head. There was even a time when Li Cheng left Randolph behind and rushed into the interior to complete a two-handed dunk.
Four minutes passed, and Li Cheng scored 13 points on 6-of-6 shooting. Correspondingly, Randolph shot 0 of 6, and the only two free throws that caused Li Cheng's foul to go to the free throw line were also missed.
Li Cheng's 13 points and Randolph's 0 points became the capital of the fans at the scene to laugh at Randolph.
Randolph enjoyed endless ridicule in front of his hometown, and not even one of his teammates came up to comfort him. He was pressed to the bench by D'Antoni after a timeout and did not get another chance to play throughout the first half.
On the other hand, Li Cheng, in the cheers of the fans at the scene, surrounded by his teammates, was like a hero.
"I knew that fat man couldn't do it." Granger patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said.
"That's inevitable, haha!" Li Cheng also smiled.
These voices reached Randolph's ears one after another, and these words sounded like endless ridicule to Randolph's ears.
Ava was also present in this game, and in her eyes, Li Cheng's extremely beautiful shot touched her heart. And his complete defeat of Randolph's appearance made Li Chengzai's image even more beautiful in Ava's heart.
In some domestic forums, many fans have seen another round of discussions.
"It's so handsome, a few trash words will make Randolph stupid."
"Isn't it? I see who will say that Li Cheng's defense is poor, he is a man who can defend with his mouth. ”
"That's it! Looking at Randolph's stupid appearance, he was beaten by Li Cheng and had no temper at all! ”
Some fans who watched the game live with text were a little depressed, "What a beautiful picture!" Ask for a picture! ”
"Look at Li Chengyan\ Randolph's ball, it's so handsome."
"He is definitely the last Chinese player of all time, not only against Randolph off the field, but also on the field. The main thing is that he can also blow up his opponents. Strength and personality. ”
This game, which was not broadcast on Celestial Circle 5, also gained the attention of countless fans. There are many broadcast websites in the United States that have been directly crowded by fans of the Celestial Empire.
The influx of people from the mainland directly caused some websites in the United States to collapse, which once again allowed the people of the United States on the other side of the ocean to see the strength of the people of the Celestial Empire.
Li Cheng directly beat Randolph to the bumper, and the Knicks did not have any power to resist for the rest of the game.
And Randolph could only watch Li Cheng perform on the field with a resentful eye off the field, and then Randolph directly covered his head with a towel. This time he not only lost face in front of the people of his hometown, but also lost face in front of his goddess.
On the court, the Pacers were on fire, leading by as many as 20 points at halftime. The Knicks simply don't have the slightest desire to resist such a big point difference.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Knicks, who were 30 points behind, surrendered directly. In the end, Li Cheng scored 29 points, and the Pacers beat the Knicks 106-79 at home.
Before the game was over, Randolph left early, and he really couldn't stand such a huge cheer on the scene to the Chinese who made him very unpleasant. Every time the cheers were louder, Randolph felt that the cheers were unusually harsh.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Li Cheng once again took off his jersey and threw it towards the stands where the most loyal fans in the stadium were concentrated.
The Conseth Arena was filled with screams and cheers, and it was unknown whether the fans were crazy about Li Cheng's action of throwing the jersey, or because of Li Cheng's perfect figure outlined by the black tights after taking off the jersey.
After the game, a lip expert interpreted what Li Cheng said to Randolph. The art of trash talk on the pitch has once again sparked a lot of discussion among fans. And coincidentally, there are two old men in Indiana who were once NBA trash talk masters.
"Larry Bird and Reggie Miller seem to have found their passes, and Lee's mouth-to-mouth defense against Randolph in this game is sure to be another classic example of the trash-talk art." (To be continued......)
