Murphy made a cover for Li Cheng, and the rhythm of his feet changed and he ran to the left bottom corner. At this time, he took Percy and Pierce to the left. At the same time, Garnett’s eyes also focused on Li Cheng.
Li Cheng, alone, attracted the attention of three opponents. In an instant, the Celtics’ right side was pulled empty. Tinsley seized the opportunity in an instant and passed the ball to Granger who was looking for an opportunity on the right.
This is the most typical attack mode of Pacers, but Celtic is Celtic after all. Garnett immediately threw himself out to make up the defense, and Pierce instantly went inside to make up Garnett’s position. At this time, Granger made a breakthrough feint and immediately passed the ball out.
The ball went to Murphy, who made a mid-range shot. Basketball grazed the rim, but finally got into the rim honestly.
The Pacers are definitely going up and down Qi Xin today, vowing to confront the Celtics and fight to the death.
Then the Celtics attack, and Garnett runs out to cover Rondo. Rondo dribbled just a step in. The referee’s whistle rang.
Li Cheng was stupefied at first, and said in his heart, "My fake action against Posey was blown by the referee? Is this bald head so strict today? "
When Li Cheng turned his eyes to the referee, he felt a long sigh of relief. Today’s referee, Crawford didn’t blow his foul, but blew Garnett’s cover violation.
Li Cheng looked up at the big screen, and the ball was very far-fetched. If you insist on blowing, there are reasons, but most referees should not blow in this case.
"Today, it seems that the referee not only didn’t blow the home whistle, but was extremely strict with the Celtics." Li cheng’s mind has been activated. "It seems that we need to get a chance to try again. The scale of this bald head. "
Li Cheng made up his mind, and he decided to have a good experiment in the next competition.
The Pacers attacked. When Sung Jae Lee was running without the ball, he directly pushed Posey with his hand, then made a small jump to the left, and then quickly ran to the left flank.
Tinsley then passed the ball to Foster, who was originally a coordination point. Seeing that Li Cheng ran out of the opportunity, he did not hesitate to pass the ball to Li Cheng.
Foster’s pass is still very accurate. Li Cheng throws the ball after receiving it, without dragging his feet.
The basketball drew an arc and got into the basket accurately.
"This didn’t blow?" Li Cheng’s heart jumped and he exulted.
Crawford is very clear about what yardstick should be used to blow off the game today. Therefore, he will never blow that action of Li Cheng just now. But he would never show it on his face. Now Crawford’s face is completely expressionless.
Celtics attack, this time Garnett, his hook hit firmly. Score two points for the Celtics again.
Rivers’ arrangement today is very clear, and the Celtics’ most important thing today is to attack the inside of the Pacers. Because the Pacers’ inside line is their weakest point, Rivers should fully take advantage of Garnett’s advantages. Then use the most powerful defense to make the pedestrians unable to move.
There is nothing wrong with Rivers’ idea, but one thing he can never calculate is the referee’s factor.
"If you take the ball without thinking, you will touch them physically and see the reaction of the referee." Li Cheng said to Granger.
Granger glanced at Li Cheng doubtfully, then at Crawford, the referee dressed in black, and suddenly understood something.
"I see." Granger replied.
When the Pacers attacked, Granger reached for the ball as soon as everyone was in position.
Tinsley didn’t think too much, so he just threw the ball to Granger.
Granger must pierce with the ball, and go inside with the ball. He almost regarded Pierce as air, dribbled for two steps and was ready to make a layup.
After three steps, Granger rubbed his body against Pierce, and then threw the ball at random in the direction of the basket.
The basketball crossed an arc, hit the backboard, and then got into the basket.
"Grass, is this ok?" Granger cursed in his heart, but he didn’t notice at all that the referee’s whistle had sounded.
Li Cheng was secretly pleased. "It’s definitely an opportunity!"
Granger was excited in his heart, but he stood on the free throw line because he was too excited and didn’t have the strength to control his wrist. This free throw was big.
But when it’s big, it has great benefits. This free throw, which has no arc at all, hits the blue neck and bounces back, and bounces far away.
When Sung Jae Lee saw Granger’s shot in the distance, he knew that the ball would definitely not go in. This was the understanding between them. So, Granger has just made a shot, and Li Chenggong seems to have run to the free throw line.
Li Cheng just ran to the right place, jumped up, and the basketball fell firmly into his hands.
Let Li Cheng get the ball in this place, what’s the difference between that and sending points? Naturally, the Celtics didn’t want to give away points. They tried their best to pounce on Li Cheng, but Li Cheng had already jumped.
"Hey!" At the beginning, with the double care of the lucky goddess and the referee, the pacers unexpectedly took the lead.
"Today’s luck is really good. If you miss the ball, the rebound will fly to us injured, haha! " Li Cheng was very happy. "If this luck can be maintained, the chances of winning today will increase a lot!"
But even if they are lucky, the big three across the street are not fuel-efficient lights.
The Pacers made a wonderful start by luck, but the Celtics also made a good start by the outbreak of Garnett, the Wolf King.
After Garnett started, he made three of three shots, and the Pacers got a big hole in the inside by Wolf King.
Li Cheng looked at Garnett. After the ball was served this time, he called a timeout.
He doesn’t know if O ‘Brien has found anything, but he feels that he must tell his teammates what he has found, otherwise everyone will not know how to use the advantage!
O’ Brien saw that Li Cheng suddenly called a timeout, and his heart sank fiercely. "Is this kid injured?"
Then O ‘Brien saw Li Cheng come down with a smile on his face, and his hanging heart was put down. Li cheng’s expression is definitely not hurt. But he still wants to ask, why did Li Cheng call a time-out for no reason?
"What’s the matter?"
"Coach, just listen to me."
The other players in the Pacers were surprised, too. Li Cheng gathered everyone together with smiles on his face and said, "Although I don’t know why, the referee’s whistle is very biased towards us today. We should make good use of this advantage. Kevin is in good shape today. Rivers must have designed tactics around him today, so we’d better make him foul twice and get him down. "
Tinsley listened to Li Cheng’s words, paused and said, "This … is not good!"
Li Cheng added a lip, a face of shame, and said, "What’s wrong? If you have an advantage, you must make good use of it! "
In fact, Li Cheng has a little speculation about the abnormality of today’s referee.
Crawford is a coach who likes gorgeous football style, so Iverson and Kobe Bryant have taken advantage of this bald head. The defense-based teams such as Spurs, Celtics and Pistons are the targets of Crawford’s bald head, so today this bald head can be the referee of today’s game.
Besides, I heard that Stern appeared here today, so Stern must have said hello to Crawford.
Stern obviously wants the Pacers to win this game. In such an important game, if the Pacers win. His fame will get a new explosion, which is very helpful for Stern’s nba China promotion plan.
