On the morning of the fifth battle, Li Liang ate two fried poached eggs, a large bowl of vegetable salad, and some fried chicken breast.

The team did not train in the morning, Li Liang went back to his room and slept for a while, and then went to the Toyota Sports Center in the afternoon.

After arriving at the Toyota Center, there were obviously more reporters at the door who wanted to interview Li Liang than in the past.

40 points in the playoffs is still very powerful, and this is the first person since Abdul-Jabbar.

When did Abdul-Jabbar do, 1970, the era of rock 'n' roll, hippies, and exploding heads, it seems to be a distant era for today's fans.

Li Liang did it as a 55th pick in the second round, and it's not a coincidence, there will be such an explosion of luck in the regular season, not in the playoffs, it's too difficult and too difficult.

And in Game 4 he almost toppled the Thunder again, if not for that brainless timeout.

Facing the reporters, Li Liang just smiled at them, and before they could surround them, he suddenly accelerated and ran into the locker room with a smoke......

Leaving a group of reporters stunned, how can there be such people?

Reporters are also experienced and well-informed in chasing stars, and celebrities and football stars generally hide, let bodyguards stop them, keep their mouths shut and don't speak, and bow their heads and walk away.

But there has never been a feint like Li Liang, and when everyone surrounded him, one of them accelerated and ran away?

It's really a full sprint and ran away, never seen before.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be anything, he is still a rookie, only 22 years old, not a superstar like Kobe Bryant and LeBron who needs to hold his own identity.

He's still a kid!

And a small number of reporters feel that Li Liang has the potential to do great things.

This guy talks and does things, and rarely cares what others say, only cares about what he thinks in his heart.

This is very similar to James, but the difference is that he does not have James's idol baggage.

He is not the chosen son, he is not the champion show, he is not the child of Akron.

He is a Chinese, a second-wheel show, a man who has not carried anything.

From this point, they realized that this guy would definitely make an unusual choice in the future.

……

Li Liang ran all the way to the locker room of the training center and rushed into the toilet......

I ate too much at noon, ate a roast chicken, and a lot of fish and brown rice, and my stomach was a little bloated.

I just suddenly felt sick to my stomach and had to run in to go to the bathroom.

After solving the problem, Li Liang took a breath, thinking that he hadn't been training in the system recently, and he couldn't eat as much as before.

If you eat too much, the energy has nowhere to digest, and the body is a little overwhelmed.

However, it should not affect the evening game.

In the afternoon, the team had a light tactical workout, followed by a pre-game tactical session with a simple setup by Mike Brown.

By Game 5, there weren't many secrets left between the two sides, and Brown and Brooks didn't have any secret weapons in their hands.

The two sides are car-to-car, horse-to-horse, and have a head-to-head battle at Stamps.

Game 5 of the tie-break has always been a pivotal battle that will ultimately determine the outcome of the series, and it is conceivably a tight match.

But the Lakers players were very relaxed in practice, as well as after arriving at the Staples Center.

Kobe, Nash, and Howard, their facial expressions are all relaxed, and Howard is even showing his big white teeth.

Li Liang was once again sought after in the players' tunnel, and many reporters ran out to ask him questions about where to stay in the offseason.

Li Liang didn't say a word, he knew that whatever he said would be over-interpreted.

Ten thousand words, it is better to be silent.

The Thunder had already arrived at the arena first, and the two sides began to warm up on the court.

The game time was scheduled for half past three in the afternoon, and for Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, they had to stay up late to watch the game.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the cheers were particularly loud when the live DJ called out Bruce Lee.

It's almost comparable to Kobe.

There was no difference between the starters of both sides and the first four games, and by this time, it was time to fight bayonets at the beginning of the game!

Before the start of the match, players from both sides punched each other in a gesture of friendship, but the match was not destined to be friendly.

Howard and Perkins stand in the center circle, ready to jump the ball.

The referee on duty tonight is James Karpass, who is also familiar with Li Liang, an experienced black referee.

Stamps was in a very lively mood tonight, with many big-name stars watching from the sidelines.

Both sides jump the ball and the game begins!

Howard flicked the ball to his own half, Li Liang protected the ball, and the Lakers began their first offense.

Nash controlled the ball, and in this series, Nash's play was average.

In the face of the young Thunder, Nash showed a little old age.

However, this does not mean that Nash is not good, in the team's training and tactical discussions, Nash believes that he should give more balls to Kobe Bryant and Howard, and their offensive effect is obviously better.

But in this game, Nash knew he had to play.

In the crucial fifth game, the team needs to have a new firepower to step up and surprise the opponent. ”

Nash handed the ball to Li Liang first, and after some running, he picked up the ball and chose to shoot his own jumper at the horn position.

However, the ball spun around in the basket and fell out and did not go in.

Nash also needs to slowly adjust his touch.

Perkins got the rebound and the Thunder fought back, but Perkins was whistled for a covering foul on offense.

This does not bode well for the Thunder.

Then, Howard missed the inside catch and hit the ball, and Li Liang got the rebound and missed the second rebound.

Then the Thunder counterattacked, and Durant tried an outside shot, but it didn't go in.

Both sides opened with a bit of a chill.

In this case, of course, Kobe Bryant has to stand up, receive the ball on the outside line and dribble continuously, and shoot!

"Bang!" Didn't make ......

Howard got the rebound in the frontcourt, but missed the rebound.

Ibaka's block interfered with Howard, and the Thunder took control of the ball.

The defence on both sides was very tough, and neither was willing to let the opponent score first.

The Thunder's counterattack, the Lakers' defense was very good, Durant broke through with the ball on the outside, and Howard came directly to help defend and completely empty Perkins.

Durant passes the ball to Perkins on the wing, and Perkins gets the ball, a big gap, but he doesn't know what to do......

After four games, the Lakers have clearly figured out the biggest shot of the Thunder's starting offense, which is Perkins.

The first big mistake the Thunder made was to let Harden go, and the second biggest mistake was to use Perkins instead of Chandler.

Perkins' offense, after getting the ball, he couldn't do it, he couldn't shoot, so he had to dribble and burst in.

But where would he break through, the dribble was directly intercepted by Li Liang from the side.

Li Liang passed the ball to Nash, who dribbled and accelerated past Westbrook in a change of direction, and then rushed to the basket himself.

Under Ibaka's defense, he played a beautiful time difference and made a right-handed layup!

After two minutes of play, the first goal was finally scored, and Stamps was silent for a long time before finally bursting into cheers.

And then the Thunder also opened, Durant received a pass from Westbrook on the outside, and hit a three-point shot on the left side!

Durant no longer runs any tactics now, what mess, or his own catch and pull is the best!

Later, on the Lakers' side, Howard was blown into a man with the ball while attacking.

The Thunder then counterattacked, and Westbrook made a quick layup for a layup.

Immediately afterwards, Nash gave the ball to Li Liang, and Li Liang missed a three-point shot from the outside.

Durant dribbled all the way through the halfcourt, and suddenly a ground-hitting pass to the inside, and the empty Severosa received the ball and put his hands into the basket!

At 7:2, the Thunder once again took the lead.

Mike Brown knew he really needed to call a timeout.

What's going on, are Lakers players overconfident in themselves?

The opening defense was good, but the offense was very simple a few times, and the feeling didn't seem to be good.

Mike Brown reminded the players to pay attention, to be focused, to score goals.

After the timeout, Bryant immediately scored a goal, he received the ball with his back on the wing, turned over and hit a jumper, and scored 2 points.

The Thunder played a simple game on offense, with Westbrook taking a screen to kill the interior and sharing the ball for Ibaka's jumper.

Ibaka misses a jumper with interference from Li Liang.

In the Lakers counterattack, Howard went down quickly, received a pass from Nash, and put his hands on the basket to close the difference.

Howard was then whistled for a defensive three-second in defense and Durant hit a free throw, 8-6.

The game didn't look as exciting as the first four games, because the two sides felt very "wild" on the field, and there was not much discipline.

In fact, after the first four games of-for-tat, both Brooks and Mike Brown realized that the current state of "whoever adjusts first is the first to mess up, and whoever messes up first dies" on both sides.

Both of them let go and let the players play on their own, changing and adjusting themselves according to their previous experience.

So on the field, it seems that there are basically no complicated tactics in the offense, and they are all simple to cooperate and then shoot.

The defensive intensity is very high, and the fight for rebounds and the protection under the basket are very tight.

The Lakers rebounded several times in the frontcourt, but in the end they did not form a score.

The so-called cooperation of Thunder is also not as good as that of Shuangshao.

After the free throw, Durant and Ibaka missed a pick-and-roll combination.

Durant's ground-hitting pass was wide, Ibaka didn't receive it, the ball went out of the boundary, and the Lakers had the ball.

Both sides didn't play very well in the opening game, but Li Liang was not worried about his teammates and himself.

Li Liang came out again to catch the ball, and then passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who took the ball and shot directly.

Two-point hit.

The Lakers tied the score.

On the Thunder's side, Ibaka received the ball in a high position, and a mid-range shot with a high jump was also hit.

In order to avoid Li Liang's interference, Ibaka let himself jump into the air and only made a move when he reached the highest point.

At 10:8, halfway through the first quarter, neither side scored high.

At this time, Nash suddenly changed direction in front of Westbrook with a beautiful body in the attack, and went directly to the basket from the middle!

The Thunder closed the circle, Nash Gao threw it to Howard, and Howard scored a strong dunk in the air relay!

And the Thunder's offense stumbled, and in the end, for some reason, it became Perkins to get the ball again......

Perkins received the ball outside the three-point line, no one paid attention to him, and he turned around in a daze for a long time, and finally returned the ball to Durant.

Durant gave the ball to Westbrook, Westbrook held the ball and rushed hard, and the Thunder only had this trick now.

But this trick worked, after the Lakers shrank, Westbrook gave the ball to Ibaka in the bottom corner, and Ibaka hit a three-point shot!

The Thunder played an offensive mess, but several balls were thrown, which was luck and strength.

Then, Nash tried to shoot again from the outside, but still didn't go in.

The Thunder wanted to fight back, but Westbrook's rapid advance was stopped by Li Liang.

The ball got out of his hand and fell to the ground, Li Liang fell to the ground to grab the ball, then held the ball in his arms and called a timeout.

With a 20-second short timeout, the Lakers, like the Thunder, played a little messy.

After returning from the timeout, Li Liang responded from the outside, distributed the ball to Nash, who was running, and hit a three-point shot at 45 degrees on the left side!

Nash finally hit the shot, and the two sides were tied again!

But this messy momentum is not over, the Thunder's three passes and two leads, and finally Ibaka broke through with the ball?

Anyway, it's just a mess.

As a result, Ibaka burst inside and missed a layup, but grabbed a rebound in the frontcourt, causing Howard to foul.

Howard was fouled twice and had to go off the break early and replaced him with O'Neal Jr.

Ibaka made both free throws.

Thunder's chaotic momentum has taken advantage of it.

Then the Thunder were replaced by Martin.

On the Lakers' side, O'Neal Jr. scored on the court, receiving Kobe's pass and hitting a left-handed hook shot.

And Thunder Martin hit a three-point shot, a hand-changing shot in the air, and a board hit also caused Kobe Bryant to foul.

Penalty hit.

Kobe Bryant wanted to return one, but missed the shot.

In the counterattack, it was Westbrook who forced the basket again, and the one-arm split dunk was successful!

The Thunder were more than 3 minutes away from the end of the first quarter when their momentum suddenly came up.

Bryant then forced a break and turned, and a layup was successful.

But the Thunder's momentum felt fully up, and Ibaka received a pass from Durant and hit a 45-degree pull-up half-volley.

Then Kobe Bryant scored two more points, but Westbrook returned the Lakers with a three-pointer!

Then Li Liang's three-point miss, Durant counterattacked and received Westbrook's pass, and pulled out three points and hit again!

In the end, both sides failed to hit on both attacks.

At 28:19, the Thunder used a messy style of play to catch the Lakers off in the first quarter.

Although Li Liang is a master of chaotic warfare, the Lakers are not chaotic at all, and he has no chance.

The Lakers seem to be playing a little too leisurely, and they don't have any sense of urgency in Game 5.

Could it be that their self-confidence is nothing more than an illusion?
