On the night of October 29th, Conseco Arena, the first game of the Pacers in the 2014-2015 season.

The NBA's first game had already started the day before. The Spurs defeated the Mavericks 101:100, the Pelicans beat the Magic, and the much-watched Los Angeles Lakers, after winning the No. 1 pick Wiggins, lost 102:105 with a 3-point disadvantage. Lost in Game 1 against the Houston Rockets.

Wiggins scored 17 points in a single game in his NBA debut, and his shooting percentage exceeded 50%. Overall, it is still very good.

But the Los Angeles fans were disappointed to find that compared with the No. 56 rookie of the year, there seems to be something missing in this talented No. 1 pick.

The 29th is the second game day, the Pacers sit at home against the 76ers.

On the outer wall of the Conseco Arena, there is a huge poster of Li Liang.

This is a huge poster sponsored by Under Armour, which is comparable in size to the James poster in Cleveland, which was made by Nike for James.

It can be seen from this that Li Liang and James cannot coexist.

Nike hung James' poster, how could it be possible for Under Armor to hang Li Liang again?

And Li Liang sees that his defeated generals can get huge portraits, so why can't I?

The contradictions in this cannot be reconciled.

When it comes to the Pacers, all problems will be solved.

No matter how long Li Liang stays here, this season he is the yellow robe king in the Indiana cornfield!

The game kicked off at 7 p.m. ET, and after the opening ceremony, Li Liang and his new teammates took to the stage.

Putting on the Pacers jersey, he looked energetic and full of strength.

Fans can see that Li Liang's body has become stronger, and he is already close to LeBron James.

In comparison, the 76ers' lineup is relatively poor, a properly bad lineup.

The starting center is Li Liang's junior Noel. After being reimbursed for one season, he returned from injury this season. He made his debut in the first game of the season, and then met the Kentucky senior...

In addition, there is power forward Sims, and the other three are Chris Johnson, Hollis Thompson and Tony Rothen.

The Pacers lineup is actually not much better, George - Hill and David - West are both absent due to injury, so the starting power forward is Luis Scola, point guard Donald - Sloan.

Stephenson was placed in the starting lineup by Bird. This kid has been making trouble all summer, and Bird still wants to give him some sweetness.

At the same time, Bird listened to Mike Brown's "slander". He said that letting Li Liang take Stephenson to fight would help improve Finson's IQ and heal his temper by the way.

In yesterday's team training, when Li Liang ran Finsen to the basket and scored, Stephenson began to realize that this might be someone he couldn't challenge.

So after the start of the game, Stephenson put away the cancerous form he had in the preseason, and started to play his support seriously and hand the ball to Li Liang just like he did in his rookie season.

Li Liang no longer hides, what is he hiding?

I have a showdown!

I have practiced holding the ball this summer!

The first ball in the opening game, after the continuous conduction of the ball from the outside line, Li Liang took the ball in a high position and made a feint, and forced a breakthrough with the ball on the left side!

He used his shoulders and arms to push Johnson away, went straight to the basket, and then made a close-range pull-up jumper!

Hit the board and get two points!

Noel tried to block the shot, but he was completely unaccustomed to Li Liang's routine of jumping up and stopping at close range after rushing in, so he couldn't find the direction to make up the defense at all, and watched the two points succeed.

On the sidelines, Mike Brown stood up and applauded, shouting "Beautiful sudden!"

He even wanted to shout "I taught it"!

Mike Brown did help Li Liang with the ball training in the summer, but his ability to practice has something to do with your sister!

For the 76ers, Luo Teng galloped to the basket and succeeded in breaking through with a quick counterattack.

In the absence of George Hill, the Pacers lacked a line of defense in the backcourt.

Hibbert obviously couldn't keep up with his footsteps, and was thrown away by half a body by Luo Teng, and ended up being laid up.

Both sides used simple breakthroughs to score one point each in the opening game.

But the Pacers are a more tactical and disciplined team on offense.

Later, Li Liang held the ball in a high position again, and the 76ers obviously strengthened their defensive attention to Li Liang. Li Liang passed the ball to Scola, who had a 45-degree rib. Scola caught the ball and made a mid-range jumper.

Li Liang's role in the Pacers has changed again compared to the Clippers.

He's kind of back to what he was with the Lakers.

It's just that he doesn't need to hold the ball in the Lakers, but he still needs to hold the ball in the Pacers, and he also needs to be a supporting point. The tasks on him are even more onerous.

This is a must for a superstar.

If there is anything worthy of "criticism" about Li Liang's experience in the past two years, it is that the so-called "leading the team alone" ability has not been well demonstrated.

The Lakers and Clippers have always been the ball-handlers, and the lineup is very good. Li Liang always gives people a feeling of icing on the cake.

Now that it's the Pacers, he can finally show what it means to lead a team.

The ability to lead a team is the first, you must be able to swear.

After Scola made a mid-range shot, Li Liang started yelling for the whole team to retreat.

Hibbert's footsteps this season seem to be slower than before, like a giraffe, and it is a struggle to run back.

The 76ers played quick transitions again, with one Hibbert and one Scola, they couldn't guard against it at all.

It was Li Liang who returned to the defense first, blocked the 76ers' counterattack in the middle, and allowed Luo Teng to come out and fight again.

"Run! You all run! The race has just started and you can't run anymore!"

Li Liang yelled at the others while returning to his defensive position.

The Pacers' defensive habits are there after all, even if the three generals from last season are missing, the framework is still there.

And they have Li Liang, the all-purpose glue.

The Pacers' defensive system is not complicated, it is resolute man-to-man.

It's just that Hill and West were not there, and Hibbert slipped, causing them to collapse a bit. Li Liang had to stand up and wipe his ass.

In the end, Luo Teng missed a mid-range emergency stop jumper, and Li Liang got the backcourt rebound.

In the Clippers, the ball should have been rushed.

The Pacers are a slow-paced, positional team.

Controlling the tempo, keeping the score down, and relying on defense and low-post offense is their style.

So, Li Liang rushed...

Li Liangcai has his own understanding of the battle situation regardless of the slow pace and positional warfare.

If you can rush, why not?

The 76ers' defense is not bad, at least it's not good, and it's not targeted.

Noel returned to the defense and ran very quickly, but he just ran without looking at people, and ran with his head down.

Li Liang rushed all the way from the backcourt with the ball, and then went straight to the basket for a layup.

Noel shook his head and wanted to defend, but he didn't keep up at all...

Young man, it’s not enough to just run back, you have to keep an eye on people.

Li Liang's football running back style made the fans in the Conseco Arena excited!

This is Indiana, the city of sports, the city of racing.

They love speed and passion. In Indian City, the popularity of the NFL Colts is much higher than that of the Pacers, because football has more crazy passion and impact.

Although Li Liang didn't dunk the ball, he was afraid that the dunk would fly away, but he ran all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt. This kind of impact and sense of speed cannot be replaced by a slow attack.

The enthusiasm of the fans was instantly ignited.

The 76ers wanted to play against the Pacers, but Li Liang directly [Death Coil] stole the ball from Luo Teng, and then went to the basket for a dunk!

Li Liang's [Death Coil] has been upgraded to LV3, and he can still use it twice per game, but the success rate is higher than before.

The entire Conseco Arena cheered, Indiana fans know that this season, their blessings have come.

And Larry Bird sat watching quietly from the sidelines, thinking, Bruce Lee didn't play his cards according to the team's tactical routine.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't have any routines, so I just pretend to have one.

Thinking of this, Byrd felt that his brain was very relaxed.
