Li Cheng smiled awkwardly and said, "I was a little nervous today."
"Ha ha! You used to look like you didn’t wake up before every game. How can you change your sex today? " Although Granger was teasing, he was genuinely happy. There are many differences between Li Cheng and Interception, but since they met, they have become good friends.
Granger grew up in a slum, but he was completely insulated from the dark side of the slum, thanks to his father.
Granger once said, "If I don’t get home before dinner one day, my father will kill me for no good reason."
His strict father made Granger different from many slum children, and he never bullied new people in the team. This is why Li Cheng will choose to make friends with Granger.
In addition, both Li Cheng and Granger belong to people who put their friends first. These are the reasons why they have a very good relationship.
Li cheng left the pie mouth and said nothing. He was a little nervous and a little excited. Tonight, he will seize every second to play and get himself out of the dark corner of the "water dispenser keeper". Therefore, tonight’s game is as important as the finals for Li Cheng. It can be said that all the games tonight are Li Cheng’s finals.
Besides Granger, Sung Jae Lee has no other friends on the team. He sat in a chair and talked with Granger. Time passed quickly, and O ‘Brien pushed open the locker room door with a smile.
"Guys, our opponent is very strong tonight, but we still have to give our best performance to entertain our guests. This is Cances Arena, and this is our home court. " O ‘Brien made a pre-game mobilization, inspired the players and stopped talking.
He asked the players to adjust themselves in the dressing room. He was not prepared to win tonight’s game, so he didn’t make any special tactical arrangements. All tactics should be based on the usual training.
However, after O ‘Brien finished speaking, he took a special look at Li Cheng.
"Li seems to be in good shape. Consider playing more time with him tonight!" O ‘Brien secretly made a decision in his mind.
In a few minutes, a staff member came to inform them that it was time to play. At this time, O ‘Brien stepped aside, and little O ‘Neill in a suit stood up first.
Little O ‘Neill stood at the door of the dressing room, raised his right hand and shouted, "Guys, victory belongs to us!" "
"Victory belongs to us!" Everyone shouted in unison, but the voice was not morale.
This is the tradition of the pacers, but now the pacers’ record is so bad that this tradition is just a form.
Standing in the player’s lane to prepare for the appearance, Li Cheng’s heart beat a little faster, which was more nervous than when he first appeared.
The live dj began to broadcast the names of the players in turn, but most of the names he reported before did not arouse much reaction from the fans, only some symbolic applause. However, Li Cheng’s treatment today is different from that of previous people.
When Li Cheng appeared, the dj’s voice also had more excitement. He shouted: "Next, the defender from China, No.23, Li-"
The cheers at the scene were not too enthusiastic, but they also won the first prize among those substitutes.
Li Cheng ran out of the player channel with a smile on his face. Judging from the reaction of the audience, his status has risen a lot now. You know, when he appeared in the first few games, there were still some boos coming from the scene!
"That China man hit the winner on the court!"
"Yes! That shooting posture is very handsome, and I don’t know what kind of performance he will have tonight. "
"He is also handsome!"
Many viewers are talking about Li Cheng. After all, Li Cheng’s winner is a very good highlight among the pedestrians who have lost all the way recently.
And on the sidelines, there is a small group of China people. They are all overseas Chinese in Indianapolis, and Li Cheng’s winner also gave those overseas Chinese some money to watch the game on the spot.
Not soon enough, the discussion about Li Cheng was lost in the cheers generated by the appearance of the main players, especially Granger. When he appeared, the cheers from the scene seemed to shake the wall.
After all, the current walkers have fallen to the bottom, and Granger is the hope of the walkers’ rebirth.
After his debut, Li Cheng sat on the bench, but his position was much higher. Although a game can’t explain anything, it can also change something temporarily.
Ps: I recommended it last week, and it should be another chapter in the evening. Please recommend it and collect it ~ ~
Chapter 8 Everything will get better and better.
Sitting on the bench, Li Cheng has not relaxed at all. He has been waiting for his own opportunity, and he is always ready to play.
As the Pacers’ opponent in this game, Boston Celtics showed the temperament of a champion team in the first second of the game.
The big three were fierce, and their repeated bombing soon opened the score. In the audience, a few greens actually conveyed unparalleled cheers, which even overshadowed the fans of the home team.
In fact, it’s not the loudness of a small number of visiting fans, but that the home team was suppressed from the first second, which made the fans lose the mood to cheer for the team.
Mark Boyce didn’t criticize the team he supported today. He said helplessly: "The gap in strength is too big. If this is the last game of Boston this season, if they throw caution to the wind, the game can already enter garbage time."
After only six minutes of the game, Boyce asserted that if the Pacers were facing the Celtics in full swing, they could already disarm. This may be his exaggeration, but it is also an ugly portrayal of the pedestrian scene.
"Perhaps, we can learn from the experience of the Celtics’ instant resurrection in a summer. Last season, Boston was the worst team in the league. After only one summer, they have become the biggest favorite of the championship. "
O ‘Brien was on the sidelines, standing up for a while and sitting down for a while. His face was very ugly when he was fidgeting. He wasn’t prepared to win the game, but he didn’t allow his team to lose so badly. At this rate, the second half of the game can completely enter garbage time. The most important thing is that he O ‘Brien’s team made frequent low-level mistakes, so how can he fight?
"Time out, O ‘Brien finally couldn’t help it." Mark Boyce seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he added, "O ‘Brien is growling. If I were him, I would have stopped it. Where did it look like an nba team was playing in the last six minutes? It’s like an amateur team! "
O ‘Brien yelled at the team that came down: "Do you still have any dignity when you are completely blasted by your opponent on both offensive and defensive ends?" Dignity, you know Even if you don’t want to win, don’t you want your dignity? Stand up, fight like a man, and crush them. "
Granger looked at O ‘Brien, awkward. O’ Brien reached out and took the tactical board handed to him by his assistant. He added, "Li will take you later and replace Deng Liwei." Then he drew on the tactical board with a pen. Li Cheng stood next to O ‘Brien, listening and watching carefully.
Granger smiled when he heard O ‘Brien’s words. Obviously, he also wanted to suggest a replacement to O ‘Brien just now.
He was very wronged just now, and the defense formed by Ray Allen and Pierce made him very uncomfortable. It would not be easy for Granger to face either of them alone, but Deng Liwei Jr. played a very limited role in containing Granger, which gave Ray Allen a chance to help defend Granger.
If the pacers can’t even open the Granger point now, they can only be suppressed by the Celtics until they die.
O ‘Brien is increasingly dissatisfied with Deng Liwei’s performance, and now Daniels is recovering, and Li Cheng, who has been re-examined by him, has naturally got the chance to play.
"Can you play so soon?" Li Cheng obviously didn’t expect to play so soon, but he was always ready to play on the bench, and now he naturally stepped onto the court with confidence.
"Dude, come on." Granger patted Li Cheng on the shoulder.
Li Cheng nodded and didn’t speak, but none of them noticed Deng Liwei’s slightly cold eyes.
O ‘Brien knew that George W. Deng Liwei was discontented, but the former simply ignored the latter’s dissatisfaction. Deng Liwei Jr., a player who can only play with the wind, is not popular with O ‘Brien. If the Pacers were not in the No.2 position, it would not be Deng Liwei’s turn to start.
Celtic players were stunned when they saw that the Pacers had replaced an China.
"Have the Indians surrendered?" This is a collective question from Celtic players. But look at the score of 7 to 19, it’s not quite like it!
This debut is the earliest in Li Cheng’s career, and this time the player he played against is the biggest one among all the players he played against. The excitement in Li Cheng’s heart can’t be concealed.
The Pacers’ attack is still around Granger, and Ray Allen is still ready to help defend this time.
In fact, it is enough for Pierce to deal with Granger alone, but this is just a very ordinary regular season. Who doesn’t want to save some energy? Especially the Celtics who are aiming at the O ‘Brien Cup.
After Granger took a sudden step, he immediately stopped and made a shot. Pierce held Granger and Ray Allen copied it directly.
Granger shook his wrist and passed the ball to Li Cheng. The Celtics’ defense changed very quickly, and Rondo jumped on Li Cheng.
The Celtics’ defense has always been like this before, and they have achieved great success.
Deng Liwei Jr.’ s mentality when playing with the wind is completely different from that when playing against the wind. When the team is against the wind, Deng Liwei Jr.’ s first choice is to pass the ball as long as it is guarded.
Seeing that Rondo was defending himself, Ray Allen didn’t want to come back at all. Sung Jae Lee made the decision to play Rondo alone at the first time.
The height difference makes Li Cheng make the shooting action easily after dribbling and shaking, with his body leaning back slightly and his wrist deftly throwing the ball.
Li Cheng is 1.98 meters tall and Rondo is 1.85 meters tall. Such a huge height gap makes Rondo unable to stop Li Cheng’s shooting. In particular, Li Cheng chose the back jumper.
In an instant, cheers broke out at the scene. The goal was scored immediately after the suspension of substitution, which also made the fans excited once. After all, this shows that the suspension is useful and the team may recover its disadvantage.
"Good shot! O ‘Brien made the right decision to replace Lee. Little Deng Liwei is not suitable for playing against the wind at all. " Mark Boyce said: "If Daniels is not suitable for the team’s style of play, it is impossible for Deng Liwei Jr. to occupy the starting position."
The Green Shirts scored a shot in the attack by Pierce. Pierce, who is known as the attacking kaleidoscope, is definitely one of the top players in the league.
"Brothers, hold on." Granger shouted, and then began to look for opportunities in the Celtics’ dense defense.
Li Cheng’s running position is also very active, and he is also looking for opportunities.
Suddenly, Li Cheng found the loophole behind Pierce, and he ran past in a flash.
Tinsley leaned to the right and slammed the ball to the floor with his right hand. He passed the ball with a touchdown and found Li Cheng.
