That wave of 19-7 attack directly caused the Bulls to collapse. If they can’t make adjustments in the second half, the game in Chicago will be completely ruined.
Chapter 52 Savior
When the game came up in the third quarter, the Bulls didn’t launch a decent counterattack. They played tepid with the Pacers.
This is not to say that the bulls don’t want to make a wave of reversals, but that the signs of their two reversals and reversals have been put out by Li Cheng and Granger.
In the fourth minute of the third quarter, Hinrich scored a three-pointer on the outside line, and Lor Deng succeeded in breaking the dunk, but Li Cheng immediately responded to a jumper, and Granger followed with a big hat to nail Hinrich’s ball to the backboard. According to Mark Boyce, "Granger almost put this racket in the backboard."
Granger’s blocked shot instantly detonated the emotions of the audience, and the bull’s first counterattack was endless.
The Bulls’ second counterattack appeared in the fourth quarter, but Li Cheng found that the Bulls let him go outside the three-point line.
"How dare you not guard against it?" Li Cheng hates it when someone lets him shoot, even if it is a three-pointer that he is not good at. Every time he meets an opponent who dares to let him shoot, Li Cheng will make the opponent pay the price. This time, the bull paid the price, and Li Cheng’s three-pointer was like a sharp dagger, which directly pierced the heart of this magnificent bull.
Since then, the Bulls have never organized a decent counterattack, and the Pacers won the game 89-101 by virtue of their accumulated advantages in the second quarter.
When the Bulls finally surrendered by replacing all their main players, O ‘Brien also replaced all their main players. Li Cheng was the last main player to be replaced. When he left the field, most of the audience stood up and applauded him.
In the east stand, a Macey baby stared at Li Cheng with big eyes and said, "Dad, I want his jersey. Will you buy it for me?"
Pete pinched little Ella’s face and smiled. "No problem, I’ll buy it for you when I go out later."
"well! It’s very kind of dad. " Little ella said with milk.
Li Chengke didn’t know that he had another little fan from today. At this time, he was being interviewed by Nisha on the sidelines.
"You didn’t get any good comments from my peers, but you don’t seem to reject my interview?" Before Nisha interviewed Li Cheng, they would chat a few words.
"What kind of players do you journalists like?" Li Cheng pretended to think, and then said, "Don’t you journalists all like players who can shoot their mouths?"
"Then why do you never seem to reject my interview?"
Li Cheng turned the wrist strap of his left hand and said, "Because you are beautiful."
Nisha wanted to say something, but Li Cheng interrupted her. "You seem to like interviewing me very much, too. Can you tell me why?"
Nisha rolled her eyes and said, "Because you are handsome!"
Li Cheng was speechless, and Nisha giggled: "I’m going to start work. If you really want to chat with me, you can invite me to have coffee after my work!"
"Let’s talk about it next time!" Li cheng is not in the mood to date or anything now.
Nisha left the pie mouth and stopped pestering, but handed over the microphone and started the interview tonight.
The simple interview soon ended, and Li Cheng, as a person who never fires a gun, naturally won’t be outspoken in front of Nisha. As long as there is a microphone in front of him, every word he says will be extremely careful.
Go back to the dressing room to take a shower, then attend the press conference, then have a supper with Granger and then go home. Life after the game in Sung Jae Lee is always so regular.
After returning home, Li Cheng lay in bed and entered the "Basketball Top System". After watching it for a circle, it didn’t change. The experience gained tonight is not enough for him to upgrade to the next level, but now the upgrade will no longer add the attribute of "perfect body", and Li Cheng’s expectation for the upgrade has also decreased a lot. And the "competition task" he completed only rewarded 40 gold coins, and Li Cheng’s total number of gold coins rose to 150, which was far from being able to buy an attribute point.
After quitting the "Basketball Top System", Li Cheng lay in bed and soon fell asleep groggy.
Li Cheng has gone to chat with Duke Zhou’s daughter, but many media reporters and ball critics are still awake. They are rushing to the computer to write a manuscript, but the protagonists in their works are all Li Cheng.
Tonight, the Indiana Pacers of Sung Jae Lee scored 27 points and 4 assists again in their home victory over the Chicago Bulls. This is the seventh consecutive game in which Li Cheng has scored in double figures, and he has averaged 23 points in the last eight games.
China’s performance is hard to forget, and he plays an important role in Indiana’s lineup.
The media in Indiana can’t ignore him, and so can other media. A guard averaging 20+ per game is enough to live among the top guards in the league.
Indiana Savior, the best-selling newspaper in Indianapolis, used this topic to highlight the importance of Li Cheng.
The Indiana Star, which followed the Morning Post in Indianapolis, used Miller’s Return, Shooter’s City to express the status and importance of the Sung Jae Lee Pacers.
In the past week, Li Cheng sold more than 10,000 jerseys, which is crazy.
"The sales of Indiana No.23 jerseys are even crazier than Li’s performance on the court." -Indiana Star.
Such a comment shows the popularity of Li Cheng’s jersey sales, and the Indiana Star also pointed out. Li Cheng’s sudden outbreak helped Indiana Pacers’ jersey sales increase by 200% compared with the same period. After Li Cheng’s jerseys entered the national market three days ago, the sales of his jerseys grew very violently, and now he ranks 16th in the United States, closely following the 15th Sun star Steve Nash. In addition, in the China market, the sales of Indiana No.23 jerseys have ranked third, only after Lakers No.24 and Rocket No.1..
As can be seen from the sales of jerseys, Li Cheng’s popularity is no longer comparable to that of the second round show sitting at the end of the bench. Today, he is in full swing, and in the hearts of many China fans, he is also the savior.
