Coach Lee

Chapter 382 Chinese Li Returns from Injury?
The 76ers returned to normal here, but the Pacers on the other side were a bit horrible.

The Pacers lost Jaylen Rose, and their record suddenly plummeted.It has been declining since the second position in the East in February.

At the beginning of March, the Pacers lost 3 games in a row and fell directly to the fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Larry Bird has appeared in front of the media many times to appease the fans.

"Everyone believes in us, we will definitely go to the final victory and win the championship."

It's all this time, and Larry Bird didn't forget to mention the championship.

Of course Pacers fans don't give face.

"Idiot! Larry Bird is an idiot, a idiot who only eats Larry Brown's leftovers!"

"If Jaylen hadn't been traded away, we would be No. [-] in the Eastern Conference now!"

"get out of class dismissed! Larry Bird dismissed!"

It is impossible to dismiss Larry Bird from get out of class.He is the general manager himself.Just ignore you!

Just suffer like that!boil!

In late March, the situation still did not improve.

The Pacers have reached the 7th place in the Eastern Conference!It looked like it was about to fall to eighth, and even fell out of the top eight.

At this time, the 76ers, who were regarded as opponents by the Pacers, suddenly squeezed out the Heat and regained the No. [-] throne in the Eastern Conference.

Seeing the 76ers back on track, the Pacers fans who are suffering from constant losses are of course even more dissatisfied.

The crowd parade is coming.

Pacers fans gathered outside the home court, holding up a sign that read "Larry Bird out of class!"

There was a lot of uproar, and it was not easy for the Pacers' boss to come forward.

In the end, it was the Pacers players who persuaded them to leave.

The people of Indiana are tough and brave.

They are not as weak as the Atlanta people. They dare to fight against the team, and when they encounter dissatisfaction, they dare to raise it with the team.

A few years ago, Larry Brown failed to make the team go further, wasn't he just taken away by the powerful Pacers fans?

However, the tough fans also have their own beautiful side.

They love their players.They love their players.

When the Reggie Miller crew took to the streets, Pacers fans once again compromised, compromised because of these players.

"Everyone, please trust us, we will definitely win!"

"Lee will definitely be back this season!"

"We will definitely win the championship this season!"

If this is the case, it is too empty and too general.But because it was what the players said, the Pacers fans gave in.

At the end of March, the Pacers players also lived up to expectations.

4 straight wins!

They ended their march in March with a beautiful 4-game winning streak!

37-35, the Pacers kept the No. 7 position in the East.

The Pacers have also stabilized the situation.

But, as we all know, this is not enough, not enough.
March is gone, April is coming.

On the first day of April, the NBA officially announced the Player of the Month for March: Alonzo Mourning!

On this day, however, another story dominated the streets of Indiana.

"Amazing! China Li is back from injury! He will be back in the Pacers vs. Miami Heat game today!"

Soon, this news was spread wildly.

"Li has recovered, and his condition is 100% restored!"

"Lee is back from recovery! Tonight's first game against the Lakers!"

"Lee will be wearing No. 10 in Indiana!"

"Why did Li come back from injury in less than two months? I have to talk about Chinese medicine!"

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and soon, everything is said.

"It's just an April Fool's Day joke!"

"I saw Li appear last week, maybe Li will really come back tonight."

"What level can an injured person play just after healed?"

"If Li can return to his previous explosive state, then our Pacers may really win the championship this year."

On the evening of April 4, tens of thousands of people gathered at the Pacers' home stadium, the Bankers Center Arena.

Li Nan appeared here as a Pacers player for the first time.Of course, he wasn't on the roster.

To his surprise, here, he was not welcomed at all.

Pacers fans did not welcome Li Nan's arrival at all.Many people even hate Li Nan a little bit!
"It's all his fault. If it wasn't for him, we would probably win the championship this year!"

"It's him and Larry Bird!"

"Yes, it's because of him!"

"A disabled person, what's the use of buying it? Once the season is over, we will just pat our ass and leave. We will lose a lot!"

The resentment of Pacers fans is very deep.

Even some Pacers players and some staff have resentment towards Li Nan.

There are only a handful of people who welcome Li Nan.

Witherspoon and Coleman from the former 76ers teammates, Reggie Miller from the old guy, and Larry Bird from Li Nan who made the decision to trade!

The Pacers played very hard in this game.

Alonzo Mourning has just won the best player of the month, and he is extremely excited today.The inside protection of Schmitz and Davis was crowded by Mourning.

Reggie Miller significantly increased his shots today.It's just that Marly's defense is too sweet.Reggie Miller did not please.

Before the end of the first half, the Pacers trailed by 16 points.

On the bench, Larry Bird also sat next to Li Nan.

"Li, don't put on so much pressure, take your time, we will definitely hold on."

However, Li Nan suddenly said something that surprised Larry Bird,

"Coach, I think the lineup should be changed in the second half."

"Huh?" Larry Bird was stunned for a moment, but when he thought of the 76ers game before, Larry Bird laughed.

"What do you think."

"I think"

Larry Bird kept listening, nodding now and then.
beep!
While the two were "joking and joking", the first half of the game was over.

55-38, the Heat led the Pacers by 17 points.

The Pacers fans at the scene were cursing and yelling at Larry Bird and Li Nan who walked into the player tunnel.

However, in the second half of the game, the Pacers suddenly adjusted their starting lineup.

Travis Best, Reggie Miller, Witherspoon, Crohill, Dale Davis

As soon as this lineup came up, Davis was crushed by Mourning and scored another goal.

"Ah~"

The fans in the stands were also discouraged.

No matter how you change it, the Pacers just won't work.

However, at this time, everyone saw that the Pacers suddenly launched a fast-break counterattack.

Caught off guard!The Heat's defense was a little scrambled.

Of course, the Heat's Marley is still smart, and he stared directly at the most threatening Reggie Miller.In the case of less defense and more defense, it can only be so.

Pacers guard Travis Best saw that Reggie Miller was being watched, but without any hesitation, he divided the ball to the other side.

Witherspoon!

Witherspoon pulled up directly 45 degrees outside the three-point line.

"A fast-break three-pointer? This, isn't this too sloppy?"

The fans were worried when they saw Witherspoon throw such a bold three-pointer as soon as he came up.
