After the first game, the Pacers led the Celtics by 2 points 28-26.
The 2-point lead is not much, but it is the result of the pacers’ 12-minute fight.
In the second quarter, the pacers still adhered to the rhythm of the first quarter.
To take a step back is to die, so it is better to fight.
At the end of the first half of the game, the Pacers miraculously led the Celtics by 5 points in the North Shore Garden Arena.
"In this game, the pacers don’t play like basketball at all, but more like fighting with others!" The commentator also had to sigh.
"I’m willing to take the emperor down. That’s what pedestrians seem to think now!"
"The Pacers’ goal at the beginning of this season is to enter the playoffs, and now they have reached the second round of the playoffs. The Pacers have earned it this season anyway, and every game they win next time is earned. Anyway, they have nothing and no scruples. What can’t they fight for? "
"However, if this situation continues, it will be difficult for the Pacers to take away a victory at the North Shore Garden Arena!"
"Yes! There are still two more games, and the physical fitness of the pacers may not last long! "
Actually. The pacers’ physical fitness is not going to last long, they seem to be drained now.
Even Granger, who has the best physical fitness in the Pacers, is half lying in the chair in the dressing room at the moment, panting heavily.
Now they have been back in the dressing room for three minutes, but the sweat on their bodies is still flowing downwards.
"This half game, playing … so tired!" Li Cheng’s breathing hasn’t calmed down yet.
If the pacers’ physical fitness can be restored to the state at the beginning of the game now, O ‘Brien really dares to say that he will win this game and eliminate the Celtics. But seeing the team in this state. O ‘Brien has no idea at all.
Throughout the first half of the game, the Pacers were exchanging physical fitness for the score. But now they have basically exhausted their physical fitness. What do they have in the second half?
What did the Pacers rely on in the second half? Li Cheng told everyone with practical actions that in the second half, the pacers relied on the little physical strength they recovered during the intermission, plus the indomitable momentum, to fight!
In the second half of the game, Li Cheng and Granger became the biggest highlights on the field.
Everyone knows that the Pacers have overdrawn themselves in the first half, and they may return to normal play in the second half. However, the walkers didn’t.
At halftime. In the dressing room, O ‘Brien proposed to return to normal play in the second half. But it was rejected by Li Cheng and Granger in unison.
"We have no advantage in front of Bostonians. The only thing we can rely on is youth, that is, we are crazier. So … We must continue to play like this in the second half. "
"However, your physical strength can’t support it. Even if you play like this again, you can’t get up quickly."
"The two of us. It will bring up the speed of the team. " Li Cheng and Granger said firmly. In fact, when they said this sentence, there was still a sentence in their hearts, "If we don’t run to the last moment of the game. Then we won’t have any chance in this game. "
The cooperation between Li Cheng and Granger once suppressed the Celtics.
Rondo’s immaturity was exposed in this one, and he was unconsciously infected by the madness of Granger and Li Cheng. He played faster and faster with the Celtics, and even if Pierce wanted to bring him back like in the first quarter, some of them couldn’t.
After 7 minutes and 24 seconds in the third quarter, the Pacers actually expanded their lead to 11 points. In these 7 minutes and 24 seconds, all the Pacers’ scores came from Li Cheng and Granger. The two of them scored 27 points crazily in these seven minutes.
The North Shore Garden Arena is so booed that they will never allow their enemies to be so arrogant here. Behind the crazy boos of these fans, there is also a little guilty conscience. They are afraid that their team will lose the game, and they are afraid that the Big Three will fail if they don’t win the championship.
Rivers was not so worried on the sidelines, because it was obviously the last madness of the Pacers. The rest of them are dying, only Li Cheng and Granger are still fighting.
And then, Granger couldn’t do it. He was knocked down by Pierce in the next defense, and then he tried to get up by himself, but failed.
Next, the only person who can continue to be crazy may be Li Cheng!
In fact, Li Cheng is already dying, but with his own willpower, he has resolutely strengthened to the present.
At this point, all the pacers on the field have rested, but Li Cheng hasn’t rested for a minute.
Wiping a sweat with the shirt collar, Sung Jae Lee got stuck on the left side of the free throw line, and then reached for the ball.
Li Cheng knows that his physical strength is running out. Now he can only choose the most energy-saving method to score points.
After catching the ball, Li Cheng simply made a feint and immediately turned to shoot.
He didn’t fake it, but his shooting is still a very threatening weapon for his opponent. No one dared to let go of his shot, and the Celtics doubled up as usual.
However, James Posey and Ray Allen didn’t touch the basketball.
Li Cheng’s shooting is still beautiful, but in this beauty, there is still a hint of decisiveness and madness.
Even Ray Allen was surprised that he didn’t cover the goal. But in fact, basketball just flew slowly towards the basket. Perhaps, the power of faith influenced Li Cheng’s shooting?
"Hey!" Li Cheng’s shot hit again, and the Pacers extended the gap to 13 points.
But the person who threw the ball didn’t see his own goal. It was untenable after leaning back at a large angle, but this time Li Cheng didn’t get up after falling to the ground.
After Li Cheng went to the end, his body drew some distance because of inertia. Feeling the cold floor and the comfort of his spine touching the floor, he really didn’t want to get up.
Even Daniels, who came to pull him, used two efforts to pull him up.
"That goal just now!" Li Cheng asked with difficulty as he ran back.
"In!" Daniels nodded, and a strong respect suddenly appeared in his heart.
Li Cheng’s diligence, paranoia and talent are all seen by everyone. At the moment, I see Li Cheng working so hard to win. Daniels shook his head with a wry smile. He had been jealous of Li Cheng before, but after seeing the fate of Deng Liwei Jr., he kept this jealousy in his heart. At this time, the jealousy in his heart has all turned into admiration.
If such a player can’t succeed, it’s really God’s blindness!
However, the pacers’ lead ends here. Granger has come off to rest, and Li Cheng, despite his persistence, can never return to his former bravery.
O ‘Brien forcibly replaced Li Cheng in 8 minutes. After that, the Celtic Big Three swept through and quickly launched a wave of counterattacks.
