Li Liang's words still have some truth, which is indeed good news for the Pacers.

It is indeed exciting to win at home. There is nothing more exciting than this, and in the cheers of all people, climb to the top of the NBA.

Since the 1984 Finals system was changed from 22111 to 232, the team with fewer homes would have a hard time winning the home game.

On the one hand, teams with fewer home courts have a lower percentage of championships. On the second hand, teams with fewer home courts have difficulty solving opponents within five games.

From 1985 to 2013, only the Houston Rockets in 1995 and the Detroit Pistons in 2004 were able to win the home championship. The Lakers won the championship in 13 years, all in Miami.

By 2014, the 232 game system was abolished and changed to 22111, which is fairer for the home team advantage, without having to experience the Devil's three consecutive guests. For the Pacers this time, they have to seize the opportunity of the sixth game. Win the championship.

Li Liang's words greatly boosted morale. After attending the press conference and accepting the post-match interview, the Pacers rushed back to Indiana on a special plane.

They had a day to adjust their rest time. Bird decided to give the players a holiday. He asked everyone to go back to bed and get a good rest, and to forget everything.

"Tomorrow, it will be your first game after joining the NBA, try your best to show it, boys."

For the tactical arrangement of the sixth game, to be honest, there is nothing to arrange, and both sides can move out.

In the fifth game, the Pacers had many opportunities, but the players couldn't shoot.

So it is entirely a matter of player status, not a tactical one.

A battle like this decides where the champion belongs, and it really depends on the breath.

Li Liang followed Bird's instructions and had a good rest and relaxation on the 15th. He and Zhu Shu went fishing in the suburbs for an afternoon.

Fishing can make people calm down, and it is impossible to say that Li Liang is not nervous.

The key step in the three consecutive championships is probably his curtain call performance in Indianapolis. He also has pressure on his shoulders.

[Lucky Hand] has been used, the Warriors are still very strong, the last game, he depends more on his performance and status.

Also, he needs his teammates.

On this day, the Pacers players followed Bird's instructions to rest and relax.

JR-Smith went shopping with his wife, Fenson played games at home, McGee watched a movie at home for a day, Kevin Garnett went to Mingzhou to meet up with friends, and Danny Granger participated in the local community. In a donation event, George Hill went to pick up a hair and got a new hairstyle.

The entire Indianapolis also looks calm. Other sports events continue as usual. People talk about the Finals in private, but no one wants to say more.

Because in fact, everyone is very nervous, both looking forward to winning at home, and worrying about losing, they have to return to Oakland, then they will be in trouble.

On June 16th, it was a good day for Li Liang. He got up early. Zhu Shu rarely cooked breakfast for him at home. He ate ten fried eggs, a large glass of milk, and five pieces at a stretch. Bread and six sausages.

Li Liang's food intake is still amazing. If it weren't for playing in the NBA, the wages were pretty good. The otherwise wealthy family would become less wealthy. This guy could eat too much.

After getting up, Li Liang drove out of the house and greeted neighbors.

He is in the upscale community of Yincheng, and there are many pedestrian fans around.

He saw that at the door of some family courtyards, the flag of pedestrians had been inserted.

At noon, Li Liang went to the team's training hall. Today, he was not late and had a simple shooting training with his teammates.

The atmosphere in the team was very relaxed, but everyone was a little silent, and it seemed that they did not mention the word "champion".

In fact, everyone is waiting for Li Liang to say something. He said something, and everyone dared to say it.

It has nothing to do with authority, just because of superstition, because everyone is afraid of talking about the championship and will lose the game.

People always have this kind of psychology, the more they want to get something, the less they dare to say it, especially when they are about to get it, they are afraid to say it is gone.

On the contrary, there is no possibility of winning a championship at a glance. "My goal is the championship. I want to win the championship." It's basically farting. You are like taking money.

The Pacers are different, they are really within reach, but this last one is the most thrilling.

Finally, after the training, everyone gathered together, Li Liang said: "After winning the championship tonight, we went to Larry's house for dinner. Everyone remembers to bring some food. Larry's food is not enough."

Everyone laughed for a while, and Bird was speechless. Why did he go to my house for dinner? Why? Didn't you go home and eat poorly?

But Bird still said: "I immediately called my wife to get her ready."

Everyone laughed again, and their mentality was completely relaxed.

Confidence is particularly important at this time.

Of course, the game against the Warriors tonight will definitely not be easy.

...

At seven that night, the Conseco Arena may be the last game of the NBA this season.

The players of both teams arrived early to warm up. The opening ceremony was particularly warm.

The flames rose on both sides of the stadium, and the large projection system projected the promotional film on the field. On the wooden floor of Indiana, the glorious history of the Warriors and Pacers appeared in front of people.

Nate Thurmond, Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, George McGinnis, Reggie Miller, Jermaine O’Neal...

In the introduction, when Li Liang debuted, the decibel on the scene reached the maximum.

No matter where he goes in the summer, he is now a basketball hero in Indiana.

On the sidelines near the player's channel, where the O'Brien Cup is placed, waiting for the owner to receive it.

Li Liang looked at the O'Brien Cup, he already has two, this trophy, the more you want to take it, will be addictive.

The starting lineup of the two sides is no different from the last game, five small VS five small, Li Liang is more and more contented in the center position.

After the victory of the last game, the Warriors players have adjusted their mentality a lot.

Li Liang is indeed terrible, but it can still be overcome.

On the Pacers side, the players' eyes are extremely firm, morale is extremely high and unity.

Tonight, the Conseco Arena did not distribute yellow T-shirts to the fans, so everyone would wear their own clothes, otherwise the atmosphere would be too much like the Warriors at home.

Outside the arena, many fans gathered to watch the scene on the big screen.

As for China, I don’t know how many students skipped class to watch the ball.

The game started, Li Liang grabbed the lead in the jump ball, the ball was set, and the Pacers started their attack.

The scene was very noisy and the sound was so incredible that Li Liang, as the home team player, felt too troublesome.

But in the first goal, after Li Liang received the ball on the left, he took the ball and forced Iguodala to face Green, who made a jumper and made a two-point jumper!

Li Liang also slightly backed the ball, evading Iguodala's block and hitting firmly.

feels good!

This is the rhythm that Li Liang likes~www.readwn.com~ Then, the Warriors made mistakes on offense. Their pass was clever, but under high pressure, the last pass made mistakes and hit the bottom line.

Subsequently, Smith made no layup, but the Warriors failed to make a 3-pointer.

Li Liang scored a rebound in the backcourt, quickly counterattacked, rushed to the basket to attract three people's defense, secretly missed a ball to Danny Granger who followed, and Granger dunked his hands!

Li Liang, who can pass the ball, is terrible.

At this time, Cole called a timeout, just two minutes into the opening, Cole called a timeout.

Still a little slower than Popovich, the old man dare to call a timeout.

This also shows that Cole is very, very cautious, they can't afford to lose at all.

However, Li Liang felt that the more he couldn't afford to lose, the more likely he was to lose.
