Looking at the score on the scoreboard, Li Cheng felt helpless. He has really tried his best. Maybe when he recovers some physical strength, he can go up and fight again!
The Celtics didn’t seem to be in a hurry in the last quarter. They are slowly eating away at the Pacers’ lead, and the Pacers have no strength to fight against the powerful Celtics after they have slowly wiped out that crazy momentum.
In the fourth minute of the last quarter, Ray Allen scored a goal for the Celtics.
"Coach, let me go up!" Li Cheng directly stood up and pulled down the training pants set outside. O’ Brien looked black. "You’ve done this. Can I not let you go?"
Li Cheng and Granger were replaced together, but when they were replaced again, they could never find the madness before.
The cooperation between Li Cheng and Granger is still tacit, but without madness and little physical strength, they really feel a little powerless in front of the powerful Celtics.
They couldn’t stop the Celtics from expanding the score slowly, but Li Cheng still tirelessly threw the basketball on his hand.
In the end, even the fans at the scene couldn’t give boos to Li Cheng and Granger, two opponents who had been fighting with them for seven games.
Both of them are running unsteadily, but they are still holding the last hope for the team.
The score was slowly pulled open, and every time Li Cheng and Granger shot, they were filled with despair. The difference gradually went to a ten-point gap, but up to this point, Li Cheng and Granger still refused to be replaced.
There are still three minutes left in the game, and the pacers are 11 points behind. However, Li Cheng is still insisting, and those fans who care about Li Cheng are already a little impatient. At this time, like the stars they support, they are looking forward to the miracle. (To be continued. . )
Chapter two hundred and two The end of the season (the final chapter of this volume)
Sung Jae Lee held the ball outside the three-point line, but he still didn’t give up his last hope.
He has always believed that failure always happens after giving up. So, he never gave up. This time, he also won’t give up.
"Hey!"
Li Cheng’s shot hit again, and then Granger’s steal helped the Pacers to score a fast break, and the Pacers stubbornly narrowed the difference to 7 points.
At 1 minute and 51 seconds, Li Cheng’s running was not so fast, but he still cheated Ray Allen’s center of gravity by shaking his body. Then I took Granger’s pass and finished shooting.
At 1 minute and 26 seconds, Granger attracted double-team in the low post, and then assisted Foster to score a hook at the basket.
……
In 21 seconds, Pierce controlled the ball outside the three-point line, and then the Pacers gave up helplessly.
After many rounds of fouls before, they still didn’t narrow the difference. The gap of 13 points is like a natural gap in front of this time, which is completely insurmountable.
Li Cheng and Granger led the attack at the last moment, and the Pacers’ desperate foul tactics at the last moment made the fans on the scene stand up for their failure. In the North Shore Garden Arena, there are really few opponents who can enjoy applause!
Li Cheng, with his waist crossed, stood beside Pierce. There is no smile on Pierce’s face, and Li Cheng’s face is also serious.
At this moment, something surprising happened. Pierce suddenly threw the ball out of the sideline.
The fans wondered, what is he doing?
But soon, the fans reacted. This time, the dead ball made the substitution applied by the Pacers take effect. Li Cheng was replaced by Daniels.
Pierce waved his hands and signaled the fans at the scene to cheer for Li Cheng who was leaving the stage.
At the moment, the fans of the North Shore Garden Arena stood up and applauded the visiting team player wearing a black jersey.
There is no smile on Li Cheng’s face, but at the moment his figure is a little tragic, and the unwillingness in his eyes makes people feel distressed.
This moment. How many fans have sent their hearts to Li Cheng.
Sung Jae Lee North Shore Garden Arena enjoyed the cheers and the game continued. The last time was exhausted, and the Pacers lost the tiebreaker in the Eastern Conference semifinals 98-111.
"It’s over, the Pacers have finished their epic playoffs. It’s a glorious defeat for the Pacers to push the powerful Celtics to this point. In this game, the Pacers once took a double-digit lead. But physical fitness has become their biggest obstacle. "
"Pacers lost the second round of the playoffs this season, but their harvest this season is heavy! They harvested Li Cheng, a talented super defender, and the tacit understanding between Li Cheng and Granger enabled them to have a very beautiful chemical reaction. It can be said that. Li Cheng+Granger is definitely greater than 2 points. "
"Look at the data of the two of them in this game. Li Cheng scored 41 points, 4 assists and 1 rebound, and Granger scored 36 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. The two of them scored 77 points together, and the total score of the Pacers was only 98 points. "
"The terrible thing is that Granger sent five assists and four of them were for Li Cheng. Similarly, three of the four assists sent by Li Cheng were given to Granger. It can be seen how close the connection between them is. "
"Look at the scores of the Celtics’ Big Three, who contributed a total of 84 points in this game. The efficiency of the three of them is already very high, but they are only seven points more than Li Cheng and Granger. This is enough to show the horror of Li Cheng and Granger. "
"The Pacers have harvested Li Cheng and Granger, and they are bound to make big moves this season. They already have a clear core player. They just need to build a team around Li Cheng and Granger. "
In the eyes of American fans, the Pacers lost a game. But in the eyes of China fans, the Pacers lost their dreams.
China fans want to see a China player win the championship as the core in the nba!
In America, there has always been a voice. They don’t think China people can play basketball. Their players can only be used as mascots in the nba.
Why is it a mascot?
Because if you buy a China player at the end of the bench, you can win the championship!
Look at the Spurs. Didn’t they win the championship after they got Bater over there? Look at the Heat, even though Wang Zhizhi didn’t win in Miami. But after his contract expires, won’t the Heat win the championship next season soon?
Now you can also see the Lakers! They selected Sun Yue in the second round, and they have risen strongly without signing a contract with him. Estimate. Now Kupchak is regretting not signing a contract with Sun Yue! If he signs the contract, it is estimated that the Lakers’ championship this season will be stable.
But look at Yao Ming, who struggled in Houston for so many years, and didn’t break through the first round of the playoffs. Therefore, if China players want to win the championship in the nba, they can only use mascots.
What nonsense is this? In fact, this is Americans’ distrust of the strength of China players, but they are not only questioning the strength of China players. Before 2004, Americans were also very contemptuous of the strength of players from other countries in the world.
However, it’s none of our business what you Americans think about the strength level of players in other countries, but it’s just impossible for you to look down on my great players. Therefore, China fans are extremely eager for Li Cheng to lead the Pacers to win the championship in the rookie season.
A second-round show, rising from the end of the bench, led the Pacers who could not even make the playoffs all the way to the finals and won the final championship. What a wonderful story is this? How refreshing is this to hit the face and counterattack? But such a thing did not happen after all.
The fans in China are very disappointed.
But in fact, they have nothing to be disappointed with, as Yoga Yu, the commentator of China Radio 5, said.
"The Pacers lost the tiebreak, they lost the present, but they won the future."
"Li Cheng is still young, he still has room for growth, and he can continue to grow. His potential has not been tapped clean, and he can continue to grow. "
"I know, many fans cried. But I want to say, please dry your tears. At this time, Li Cheng did not leave any tears, but the pain in his heart was deeper than ours. Therefore, we should use a smile to accompany him through this difficult time. "
"Goodbye, walker; Goodbye, Li Cheng; Goodbye, Granger; Next season, we will see a stronger Li Cheng and a stronger walker appear in front of us. "
It’s a pity that the Pacers lost this game, but they have done their best.
On the sidelines, Li Cheng and the Big Three embraced each other.
"Is it really your first season? You are great! It’s really great. I almost thought I was going to lose! Come back next season! " Ray Allen hugged Li Cheng. He stroked Li Cheng’s head and comforted him.
