Chapter 299: Freak

Li Liang's steal changed the situation on the court.

Although the Clippers have been pressed, there is no absolute win or loss in the NBA.

Sometimes you lead by more than a dozen points in the fourth quarter, and a few opponents suddenly feel it, maybe they will turn the game around.

Just a chance for the Clippers to get off the ground, they were stealed, and then hit a three-pointer by Kobe.

The damage to the team's morale is just too great.

Most crucially, the person who was tackled was Chris Paul.

For the whole game, it was he who had been dragging the Clippers forward, and he had already scored 30 points.

Paul didn't admit defeat, even if he lost, at least he would win.

But now, it seems that it is really difficult to even win a game.

Seeing that he was going to be said by Li Liang, a Fo, swept away.

Negro called a timeout, he still had to struggle.

But on the bench, the players no longer listened to Negro.

He held the tactical board and pulled it all over, and the players' eyes were confused.

"We still have time, we have enough time to turn the situation around!" Negro said loudly, but the louder he spoke, the more he paled in comparison.

On the other side, Mike Brown just reminded the players to keep up with their offensive efficiency.

When leading in the fourth quarter, the most important thing is to maintain offensive efficiency and score the ball.

In this way, time is consumed little by little, and the opponent will slowly despair.

In the final stage of the fourth quarter, Mike Brown sent the twin tower combination of Gasol and Howard, with Xuan Ming and Li Liang.

This lineup is very targeted, that is, to maintain offensive efficiency and increase Gasol as an interior offensive point.

At the end of the timeout, Paul still didn't give up and continued to score with his mid-range jumper.

But on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant and Gasol scored one after another.

Bryant had scored 25 points in the fourth quarter, and he shot 9-of-15, which was very efficient.

Driven by such high efficiency, the Lakers have always maintained an advantage of about 10 points.

In the final two minutes, Paul forced a three-point shot from the outside and missed, and Howard got the rebound in the backcourt and handed the ball to Nash.

Nash slowly passed the half, and he was no longer attacking.

The rest of the Clippers players were walking around the court, and only Paul was still going to defend Nash seriously and wanted to steal.

Nash had 20 points and nine assists tonight, and the 38-year-old was adjusting himself to his best.

Nash couldn't snatch the ball so well in his hands, he wasted time until the last minute, missing a three-pointer from the outside.

As a result, the rebound was also grabbed by Li Liang.

Despair.

Paul is really desperate, Jordan Jr. and Griffin don't know what they're doing, sleepwalking?

Now it's completely out of play, and a minute of time is consumed.

Paul finally sighed helplessly, his eyes full of unwillingness, but they still lost.

There is basically nothing to fight back when you lose, and the Lakers are really strong.

And Paul can feel that this is not the strongest Lakers.

Kobe Bryant is 9 of 15, how can he be the strongest Lakers, obviously he didn't push them to a corner.

Li Liang was easy, shooting 8-of-11, including 3 three-pointers, to score exactly 20 points, as well as 4 assists and 8 rebounds, with amazing efficiency.

Under the protection of teammates with strong personal ability, Li Liang took stealing chickens and dogs to the extreme.

As the clock ticked by, the game was over, and the Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 100-90, 10-point advantage on the road, and won a 3-0 lead.

Historically, the Lakers have entered the Western Conference finals.

The next game of the Clippers will not have the spirit of resistance, because even if they win one more game, the next game will be played in Stamps.

It's all Staples in the morning and in the evening, there's no difference.

And the playoffs are not paid, the regular season has been played, and you can actually start taking a vacation.

For players who are not particularly competitive, the season is over and they can't wait to go fishing and party.

The Clippers are very talented, and there are a lot of players on the team who are good and famous, but because of this, they are not cohesive enough as a team.

They are neither as strong as the younger teams, nor are they willing to burn themselves for the championship like the older teams.

They can crush a team that is not as strong as it, it is difficult for them to counterattack when they are strong, and it is easy to overturn if they are a team with equal strength.

In short, the Clippers still have a long way to go, and maybe they need a real captain.

……

After the match, both sides held a post-match press conference.

Mike Brown wanted to pull Li Liang to participate, but Li Liang refused.

"I want to go home for dinner, you let Lao Ko go, I don't want to go."

After the game, Li Liang felt a little hungry, took a shower in the locker room, and was interviewed by reporters.

A reporter asked why he suddenly received a technical foul during the game.

Li Liang explained: "Oh, because I think Blake Griffin's technical foul before was a bit ridiculous, I just had normal physical contact with him, but Dan Crawford was a little too sensitive. So I had a couple of words with Dan at the time of the free throw, and Dan told me not to say it, and then he gave me a technical foul. I said, "Then you can give it, and he will give it." ”

As soon as he said this, the reporters learned that Li Liang was "complaining" for Griffin.

This guy is really interesting, he doesn't sell well when he gets cheap, but offends the referee.

But this also shows from the side that Li Liang is very confident, confident that he can still win the game without relying on the bias of the referee.

The reporter asked why Li Liang was so confident in this round of the series, and Li Liang's answer was very Kobe: "I don't believe in myself, who still believes in you?" ”

After speaking, Li Liang changed his clothes and drove back.

……

The Lakers led the Clippers 3-0 in the semifinals and were on the verge of a sweep.

Sports media, forums, and fans at home and abroad across the United States are all engaged in heated discussions.

Some people have criticized Li Liang before the game that "Fo, Fo" was too arrogant, too arrogant, and too unChinese.

At 3:0, the "homecoming group" came out to dig graves and slap their faces, shouting angrily one by one, "Who else!" ”

And Li Liang said after the game that he applied for a technical foul in order to help Griffin complain, and he was unanimously praised.

Although Li Liang was fined $5,000 by the league the day after the game because his remarks involved commenting on the referee.

But his behavior is really interesting, because the referees did favor the Lakers a little bit in the third game.

In the third game, the Clippers obviously wanted to fight, so it was normal to have a lot of action and intensity.

And the referee blew a few whistles, which means that the action should not be too big, which is undoubtedly more beneficial to the Lakers of the old team.

Originally, some people wanted to say that the referee was biased towards the Lakers, and the Clippers were all away.

As a result, because of Li Liang's move, no one mentioned the referee anymore.

No way, who makes the Lakers have more fans.

Compared to the Lakers' big lead, the series has become no training, and the other group of matchups in the West is undoubtedly full of competition and confrontation.

In the third game between the Spurs and the Thunder, after the Spurs returned to San Antonio, they narrowly defeated the Thunder at home 89:85, with a 4-point advantage, leading 2:1.

As you can tell from the score, it's a defensive battle.

The two sides fought until the last moment.

The Thunder had a chance to tie the score on a fast break, but Durant's fast-break layup was met by a successful defensive steal by Kawhine Leonard.

The Thunder could only foul, and Leonard hit both free throws to give the Spurs a four-point lead and win the crucial Game 3.

The sophomore small forward, who is often expressionless and plays as stiff as his facial expressions, is showing great potential on both ends of the floor.

He entered the NBA a year earlier than Li Liang, but he was still a year younger than Li Liang.

Li Liang followed the game between the Thunder and Spurs on the news, and when he saw Leonard's performance, he couldn't help but think of last year's Summer League.

Against the Spurs, it was this guy who kept his feet on himself.

Of course, at that time, Li Liang's ability development was still very imperfect.

But Leonard still made a deep impression on Li Liang, and he remembered very well that he contributed 1 anger point to himself.

And it's been delayed for a long time.

"Freaks." Li conscience thought so in his heart.
