However, it was obvious that the Mavericks would not allow the score gap to be widened. Kidd quickly stabilized the situation with his own experience. At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks’ score gap was reduced to 7 points, and they did not give up the game.
Chapter DiYiSan Game Turning Point
This game has become more and more interesting, perhaps because the dull three minutes during the game have lowered the expectations of fans for this game.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks tried to organize a counterattack because they were much better than the Pacers on the bench, which can be seen from stackhouse’s playing the sixth man in the Mavericks.
In the fourth minute and 29 seconds of the second quarter, the Mavericks slowly approached the score, and the pacers’ leading score changed from 7 points at the end of the first quarter to 3 points. O ‘Brien was calm on the sidelines, and he waved for Li Cheng and Granger.
In Li Cheng’s crazy performance, Granger’s data is a little slippery, but he is bigger for the pacers. He can help Li Cheng get more points, and he can also put more energy into defense, so he can help the pacers even more.
When the Pacers replaced Li Cheng and Granger, the situation in the field was instantly stabilized. The core players like the Pacers are very sure that the team can help the team regain the situation if they want their core field.

After Li Cheng and Granger were changed, the scoreboard seemed to be enchanted, and the pacers’ scores went up.
Before this game, the craziness of the pacers during the game was almost incomparable. Even if everyone noticed that Li Cheng occasionally had some amazing and wonderful performances, the game was generally dull.
Pacers have maintained a lead of about 5 points since the second quarter, but the combination of Li Cheng and Granger can play a lot of small cooperation, which is mostly a flash of inspiration for them.
The Mavericks made targeted arrangements for Li Cheng and Granger, but they didn’t sort out the roots of their own game, so they didn’t play before the game. Those arrangements were more dependent on stackhouse and Eddie Jones’ personal one-on-one defense
The score continued in a slightly boring rhythm, but it was much better than the "iron-striking competition" at that time.
Nowitzki gradually became more and more stable, and Li Cheng refused to show weakness. Granger scored from time to time to help the Pacers stabilize the situation. Kidd’s ball finally helped some scattered Mavericks to win some fighting power. If there was no Kidd Mavericks last season, they might have completely collapsed after the first quarter.
Johnson, whose team has been suppressed by opponents, is very upset. Now he has fallen into the crisis of high-level trust in the team. He was hacked last season. This season, after star point guard Jason Kidd joined the team, the team has the seventh place in the West, which obviously makes the basketball-loving boss Cuban very dissatisfied.
If Johnson loses this game, his position may be even more shaky. Johnson paced anxiously on the sidelines, but the way he thought out could not help the situation.
Nowitzki is actually a 7-foot shooting guard. He needs to kill his opponent on the perimeter, and he is still a qualified leader who relies on his own scoring method to help the team recover from the decline. He even chose to go into the line to grab the rebound. It seems that this choice is correct, but it is actually a completely wrong behavior.
If it is Kobe Bryant, he will be more crazy to score points when the team is in an unfavorable situation instead of changing his style of play rashly.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers walked off the court with a 7-point lead. Johnson looked very gloomy, but he tried everything to get results in the scene.
"Defend the China’s killing tactics and try every means to limit him to me. His defense is residue pick and roll, and then we will fight him at all costs. We must win this game." Johnson has become a little crazy in his own position, which is somewhat similar to his teacher Nelson Sr.
In the last game, the Mavericks’ behavior changed. Li Cheng was double-teamed by the Mavericks, and he was also singles by Terry and stackhouse in turn. At one time, the Mavericks made a great improvement in the scene, and it was not as half-dead as before.
No one expected that there would be some accidents in the end of the game.
The Mavericks suddenly stepped up the pace and fouled Li Cheng’s crazy double-team, which made Li Cheng somewhat at a loss.
"I said before that the Pacers will welcome the Mavericks’ crazy counterattack five minutes before this game, but it may also be the Mavericks’ dying, but surprisingly, their dying has worked, and the score difference is approaching."
Li Cheng has been knocked down for the second time. He got up and growled at the referee, but the referee didn’t say that he indicated that it was a good goal.
"His mother is really grass." Li Cheng muttered dirty words in his mouth, but he was still able to defend himself.
Stackhouse and Howard roll-and-roll with Terry cruising in the outfield of the three-point line, and suddenly the ball in stackhouse’s hand disappeared. Granger was surprised and turned around, and the ball had already appeared in Kidd’s hand.
Kidd didn’t stop him after catching the ball, and then threw the ball outside Terry’s three-point line. Terry didn’t choose to shoot, but he chose to rush to Li Cheng, who was 1 meter away from him.
"Damn it!" O’ Brien was present and scolded, which is what he feared most.
In the fifth minute of the final game, the Pacers led the Mavericks by 2 points 9-7. For the nba game, the game ended in nearly 7 minutes, and the difference of 2 points was almost negligible.
Johnson shook his fist excitedly. He thought he had found a way to deal with the China man.
O’ Brien shook his head and called out a timeout. He could easily take the game, but he didn’t expect the game turning point to appear in the last quarter.
"Li, you need to calm down," O ‘Brien said to Li Cheng first. "This is their home court. The referee will be a little biased, but you should take the initiative to find a foul yourself instead of passively waiting for your opponent to invade you and then waiting for the referee to blow."
"You’re not a linesman. They won’t keep harassing you for a foul. If you can’t catch the ball, your threat will be much smaller. If you can’t catch the ball comfortably, it will also reduce your threat. Besides, their ugly practice has curbed your hit rate. You should find a way to restrain them as soon as possible, you know?"
"Take the initiative to find a foul and then you will not get a very good shot when you catch the free throw line, and it will not be too comfortable for you to be violated by them. You should get the best scoring environment and score quietly, okay?"
Li Cheng grabbed a towel, wiped a sweat and nodded firmly. At the last moment, the game became more and more interesting. Then let’s take some special measures to end the game!
Ps, two chapters a day. There should be another chapter at noon later!
Chapter 114 Free throw line victory
"This game is really very interesting at the end! Neither team wants to lose, and we have to say that the Mavericks’ method is ugly but it is really effective. "
"This violent method may really be an effective way to deal with Li Cheng. In fact, many people think that Li Cheng has learned that he is the strongest defender in the nba after scoring 63 points. Some media have said that he is already the strongest defender in the nba. Before that, everyone made a big attack on Li Cheng and now he has blown him to the sky." Yoga Yu said while watching the video broadcast of the game.
Zhang Jingli touched his foot again, and the director’s voice in the earphone came over. "Don’t talk nonsense and talk about the game."
Yoga Yu frowned and sighed, and continued to explain the game. "Actually, there are still many ways to deal with Li Cheng in the nba, but now it is the regular season, and many teams have not made a very targeted arrangement for Li Cheng. After all, the Pacers are not strong enough, and he can’t become the imaginary enemy of those teams who are aiming to win the championship. If Li Cheng really arrives in the playoffs, he may not behave like this again."
Zhang Jingli went on to say, "Yes, let’s look at Li Cheng’s 63-point game, which is actually very strange. I think it is an unconventional game, and the team will move to Oklahoma team headquarters this season, which is very unstable. It can be said that Li Cheng and Durant are playing, while others say it is a model. It is a completely undefended game, and both of them have brought their offensive level to the extreme."
Here, the two men are talking, and on the other side, Li Cheng has changed his style of play.
Li Cheng no longer evaded his opponent’s infringement, but took the initiative to find his opponent’s foul.
To tell the truth, Li Cheng’s play is also very soft to many people. His wide-angle jump shot is to avoid the opponent’s defense as much as possible, but there is no doubt that he can avoid the opponent as much as possible and hit the shot at the same time. However, whether a player like him can withstand the test of tough games still needs to be tested and perhaps cracked. This rude method of the Mavericks is his first test
Stackhouse was rough and almost hands and feet, and pushed Li Cheng to the three-point line. Li Cheng’s eyebrows frowned. He leaned forward and looked like he was going to fight stackhouse. stackhouse’s hand also added strength, but then he fell down along stackhouse’s strength.
This time the referee’s whistle finally sounded and stackhouse was fouled.
"Referee, he’s acting. Can’t you see?" Stackhouse growled at the referee.
But the referee ignored it. This is the fourth foul of the Mavericks in this quarter. Li Cheng can’t make the free throw line yet. The referee motioned the pacers to serve the sideline ball as soon as possible.
Murphy serves on the sideline, and Li Cheng and Granger run, which is perhaps the most annoying thing for the pacers. They have two points to catch the ball and attack, both the face frame and the back basket are very lethal, which leads to the failure of many teams to take care of their defense.
Li Cheng and Granger ran clockwise and counterclockwise, which scattered the Mavericks’ defense.
Murphy gave the ball to Tinsley with two feints in five seconds, and Tinsley was at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. His angle of view was very wide. In Kidd’s oppressive defense, he twisted his body and threw the ball to Granger. Granger threatened to catch the ball, but there were no other unnecessary moves. He shook his wrist and handed the ball to Li Cheng, the left bottom corner.
Li Cheng is going to shoot, and stech House will jump again, and Terry will jump from the other side.
The idea of "coming to shoot or not" flashed in Li Cheng’s mind, but he still made a shot. stackhouse and Terry’s eyes flashed yoshimitsu, and the manual was accelerated and it was not slow to shoot to Li Cheng.
