If it weren’t for the Celtics in the second round, there should be no problem for the Pacers to reach the Eastern Conference finals.
Unfortunately, there is no if in this world. Little O ‘Neill’s reimbursement is irreversible, and the Pacers also met the Celtics in the second round. These two ifs. None of them are established.
This is another problem of O ‘Brien. His old man often lives in dreams, in the past and in what if.
If Larry Bird is sitting on the Pacers’ bench now, Big Bird won’t have time to miss the past and sigh if. He will never look at O ‘Neill, and then carefully arrange the current lineup in order to make the current lineup play the best fighting capacity.
Li Cheng feels very annoyed now. Every time they attack, they have to look for opportunities in the Celtic iron wall, but the Celtic attack is like touching a fragile cheese with a red-hot soldering iron. It’s easy to score goals when you touch it.
"How lucky we have to be to take away a victory here!" Li Cheng complained in annoyance, but he soon put away his complaining mood, regardless of the outcome, and put it together first.
Continue to follow the routine just now, and the Pacers forced the Celtics to replace Li Cheng by pick and roll. And Li Cheng used the ball to create a short-term no-ball opportunity for himself. Get rid of pierce by running. After finding the shooting location, it is easy to make a steady hit.
Li Cheng scored 4 points in this game, but the difference between the two teams has not narrowed.
"Garnett gets whatever he wants inside the Pacers!"
"This is something that can’t be helped. Garnett is really terrible now."
Garnett used to look for opportunities on the outside when he was in the Timberwolves. You know, his CIC is very good! But as he grew up, his position became more and more inside. Now, he can prop up the inside of the team by himself, not to mention. He was accompanied by an unusually stout Davis.
Li Cheng can’t help the team on the defensive end, he can only provide his unlimited firepower on the offensive end as much as possible.
Pierce, who is known as attacking kaleidoscope, hit the shot easily again, and Li Cheng felt like cursing. But he can only hold back.
"Mama of, no matter you so much. I don’t believe that your hits have always been so high. Anyway, I will give you a set first. "
"The best defense is offense." Li Cheng has always been the most loyal believer in this sentence, and now he is trying to turn this sentence into reality.
The Celtics’ defense has also changed rapidly, and it is impossible for Li Cheng to pass the double pick-and-roll method again. And it’s a dream that he wants to pass through the Celtics’ defense by holding the ball himself. Now Li Cheng can only continue to carry forward his old job-running without the ball.
"Give me cover without the ball." Sung Jae Lee Granger whispered something in his ear, and then Granger sent Murphy a signal, and everyone got the message.
Li Cheng pretended to get the ball ready to attack, Murphy came up to pick and roll, and Li Cheng dribbled suddenly, then he threw the ball to Granger early, and then plunged into the basket.
"Such a simple run? We won’t let you succeed. " Celtic players were stunned, and then their defense began to work.
However, Li Chengke is not prepared to play a simple anti-run with Granger. Granger is already holding the ball and ready to attack, while Li Chengke is still running. It seems that the two of them are separated.
Ray Allen has been chasing the position one step behind Li Cheng, but Li Cheng is not afraid at all. He saw Davis’ position, ran over and then turned around lightly. He got out between Davis and Garnett.
Then, Ray Allen found it helpless. Davis and Garnett made a perfect double pick-and-roll for Li Cheng.
Li Cheng got rid of three opponents directly when he moved once. At this time, Granger’s pass was in place, Li Cheng was ready to shoot, but Rondo ran in front of him.
"If I can’t get in with the advantage of height, then I can go to die." Li cheng thought, the body has risen into the air.
Rondo didn’t try to be brave, he just raised his hand symbolically and didn’t interfere with Li Cheng’s shooting at all.
Li Cheng’s shot hit firmly again, which is the sixth point he scored.
"Li cheng is now a one-on-one hit the Celtics five people! Now Li Cheng has become the only output point for pedestrians. "
"This is the Pacers’ consistent winning mode, and Li Chengxian scored crazily. Then, when his hand felt down and he was tired, Granger took over the game in an instant. I have to say that the cooperation between Li Cheng and Granger is quite tacit, and their mastery of each other’s rhythm is also quite good. "
"However, how much can the Pacers do for the Celtics? Not to mention how long Li Cheng’s fiery touch can last, but after he scores this round. It is still a question whether Granger can connect. "
"Yes, li cheng’s trick in the league is almost no solution. No one in the league can beat him in the angle of his back jump shot. In addition, his elusive running is also a headache for all defenders. "
The commentator’s analysis is correct, but now how can pedestrians have time to take care of things that will wait for a while? Can Granger follow Li Cheng’s round of scoring and continue to lead a wave of attacks? Now they are extremely uncomfortable to be suppressed by the Celtics. They have been passive now. Now Li Cheng doesn’t keep scoring, and the score difference will be opened soon. When the time comes, it will be difficult to chase points. You know, Celtic’s defense is like a millstone, but it can grind people to death.
Why did the Celtic Big Three have a chemical reaction so quickly? The experience of the three of them is one thing, and the most important thing is Rivers’ tactical opposition.
Rivers is not prepared to make his team into a strong offensive team. He has perfectly bonded the defensive skills of the Big Three. With Garnett as the core defensive tactics, coupled with the containment of Ray Allen and Pierce, their defensive system is extremely stable.
The most terrible thing is that their lineup is strong in defense. The attack can also be played at any time.
Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, which of these three is not a good offensive player?
Pierce, known as the kaleidoscope, is the greatest pitcher after Miller-Ray Allen, who propped up Garnett, the wolf king of Minnesota. Each of them has the ability to finish the game.
Say something unpleasant. Each of these three people will play on the offensive end for 5 to 8 minutes, and the opponent can basically surrender.
This time, Rondo missed the layup, which is a good opportunity for the Pacers to score points.
Li Cheng’s eyes sparkled. He should at least help the team get the score close at this time. The gap of 4 points is not very big, but they don’t want to fall behind. They have to be ahead!
Foster grabbed the rebound and the Pacers threw themselves into the attack in an instant.
Their defense was defeated by the Celtics, so they need to work hard in the attack.
They have been in a passive position now. Now if Li Cheng doesn’t keep scoring, the difference will be pulled away immediately, and it will be difficult to chase after the points then. You know, Celtic’s defense is like a millstone, but it can grind people to death.
