The 76ers finally regained face at home.

76-92.

The 76ers beat the Nets by 16 points at home.

Iverson scored a game-high 36 points, Pippen scored 24 points, Dikembe Mutombo scored 15 points and 15 rebounds.

And the Nets' Bodi Loga didn't play very well today.Only took 20 points.

In the first half, Bodi Loga was troubled by fouls, intermittently, without any touch.Although he played 35 minutes, his shooting percentage was not as hot as in the first game.

Dirk Nowitzki was eye-catching today. 28 points, 12 rebounds.

Marbury 15 points, 6 assists, a little wilted.

After the game, several controversial penalties in the game were also frequently brought up by the New Jersey media.

However, only the New Jersey media will pay attention to those.

Winners and losers, no one will listen to the excuses of the losers.

……

The teams in the Western Conference fought fiercely, and they all fought 1-1.

Among them, the Lakers finally went crazy at home.

85-102
The Lakers beat the Kings by 18 points at home!
However, it was not O'Neal but Kobe who led the Lakers to win.

Kobe, 30 of 15 in the game, hit 7 three-pointers, scored 39 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.It was he who withstood the King's counterattack in the crucial third quarter that ensured the Lakers' victory.

But O'Neal still encountered siege, 26 of 13, scored 32 points and 13 rebounds.

...

The current situation is relatively clear is the series between the Pacers and the Heat.

2-0, the Pacers have already won the match point of the series.

Various media also gave the Pacers a high degree of recognition.

"Sports Illustrated": "The series is over, and the Miami Heat have surrendered!"

"New York Sports News": "The offensive power of the two historical-level shooters is also historical-level!"

"Oakland Sentinel": "Lee's seamless transition has brought the Pacers' strength to several levels! Yes, they have reached the championship level!"

...

Many media who thought the Pacers' trade was a stupid decision had already forgotten to flush it down the toilet.

……

Soon, the third round will also come.

...

On April 4, the third game of the series came to the Indiana Bankers Center Arena, home of the Pacers.

Today, Indiana fans came early as usual.

Familiar arenas, jersey gates, familiar security guards, familiar corridors, familiar every seat.

Habitually take off the jersey on the back of the seat.

When they saw the words and images above, the fans were slightly taken aback, with a slightly unnatural expression on their faces.

"Welcome! Li!"

What a simple sentence.

However, since Li joined the team, no one has said anything about it.In the two games, Li Nan played so well.However, Pacers fans still haven't said this sentence to him.

Seeing the handsome photo of Li Nan giving a thumbs up on the T-shirt, Pacers fans actually felt a little bit ashamed.

"Welcome! Li!"

A soft sentence popped out involuntarily...

……

In the evening, around 7 o'clock, the Banker Center Arena was already full of people, and the noise-like frenzy was sweeping every corner of the arena.

At this time, the scene suddenly went dark, and several headlights were aimed at the entrance of the player tunnel.

The restlessness stopped abruptly, and the entire audience fell silent, looking over there.

Everyone knows it's coming!
Sure enough, the host's voice sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bankers Center, home of the Indiana Pacers. First, let's welcome our opponent, the Miami Heat."

"they are……"

Amid the waning voice of the host, the Heat players appeared one after another, and none of them had any good colors on their faces. 0-2 behind, it is strange to have a good face today.

...

"Head Coach, Pat Riley."

Pat Riley walked into the court lightly, still the same, "everything is expected."

The home fans are also rude, "Huh~"

Pat Riley gets a nice boo from Indiana.

...

After the introduction of the opponent, the next step is the home team.

"Now! Let's welcome our Pacers with the loudest applause!"

The host's voice suddenly brightened, and the tone of his voice rose several notches.

"Perkins!"

"Wow!"

"Crowhill!"

"Wow!"

...

Players from the home team appeared on the stage one by one, and the audience also gave warm cheers.

"Rick Schmitz!"

"Mark Jackson!"

"Dale Davis!"

The three starters played successively!The scene also arrived at Gao Chao.

"Reggie Miller!"

"Wow!!!"

Reggie Miller entered the arena with his own weird smile, as always.

The last one left, everyone knows who he is.

The host also deliberately paused for a while before speaking.

"The next entry is a championship, a finals MVP, a scoring champion, and a three-time All-Star winner. He is..."

"plum!!!"

"That's right! He is Li~~~"

Under the host's long tail, Li Nan made his finale appearance.

He himself didn't expect that Reggie Miller and the others would give up important positions to him today.

You know, this NBA seems to be playing around, but in fact the level is very strict, not the boss, you want to play the finale?
To Li Nan's surprise, his teammates lined up in two rows not far away to welcome him into the arena.

"Lee! Lee! Lee!"

Amidst the berserk shouts from the audience, Li Nan slowly walked into the arena with the corners of his mouth bent.

clap clap clap!
Li Nan clapped hands with his teammates one by one.

This is the first time since Li Nan entered the NBA that he enjoyed the welcome ceremony of the whole team.

Reggie Miller was at the back. He hugged Li Nan and said softly, "Welcome, brother!"

Li Nan is slightly different, why do these people want to deal with these things today?Can't figure it out.

"Thank you."

Just when Li Nan said thank you, there was a sudden movement in the stands.

The fans at the scene stood up, and the noise became even more lively.

A huge canvas is slowly opened.

Soon, Li Nan's expression changed from surprise to joy.

When the entire canvas was fully opened, Li Nan, wearing the No. 10 Pacers jersey, appeared, and all the fans shouted together.

"Welcome! Li!"

Only then did Li Nan really know that this was an arranged welcome ceremony.

He greeted the fans around him in a gentlemanly manner.The corners of his eyes suddenly became moist, but there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is a touch of being recognized!
Although it came late, it came just in time!
