Chapter 319: Useless Things

Li Liang's series of three-pointers stunned the people in the Ford Center.

The rookie's three-point shooting in the playoffs was nothing short of amazing, while the Thunder made mistakes.

Westbrook's recklessness and mistakes made the difference between the two sides suddenly come to a very difficult point to follow.

18 points, less than three minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

Although there was still a fourth quarter, the Thunder did not show enough offensive efficiency throughout the game to prove that they could erase the point difference.

Or their defense is tough enough to keep the Lakers out of scoring for an extended period of time.

Of course, the Thunder have Westbrook and Durant, and they don't need any special tactics.

As long as the Lakers have a little slackness, or a sudden inaccuracy in offense, the Thunder have a chance to turn the tables.

The problem is that the Lakers won't let up in the first place, and during the timeout, Mike Brown keeps emphasizing that everyone is focused, slowing down the tempo, and playing success.

Secondly, the physical strength of the Lakers has not been affected too much, and the veterans still have some energy to spare.

If, according to Mike Brown's idea, the Lakers continue to maintain high-intensity defense and suppress the Thunder by defense, then they may run out of energy in the fourth quarter and collapse in a short time.

The problem is that the Lakers didn't play according to Brown's ideas, but followed Li Liang's ideas.

Li Liang's idea is correct, they have to rely on offense to suppress the Thunder in a more efficient and good way.

Li Liang's consecutive three-point shots did not consume much physical energy from the veterans.

Kobe Bryant and Nash still have enough energy to play through the fourth quarter, and even play overtime is no problem.

The problem with the Thunder is that they're a bit of a mess.

This game Brooks made frequent mistakes in command, he wanted to adjust too much, he wanted to make changes too much, he wanted to win this game too much.

The fact that they are superior, they have already gained home-court advantage, and Brooks should not be in such a hurry.

Perhaps last year and the previous round against the Spurs gave Brooks a taste of the sweetness of adjustment, and they made adjustments through the disadvantages of the situation, and they both worked very well.

But the Lakers are a different opponent, and the Lakers' coach is Mike Brown.

Mike Brown, motionless as a mountain.

It's useless to play tricks in front of him.

After the timeout, in the last three minutes of the third quarter, Li Liang went to rest.

Mike Brown continued his twin towers, Howard, Pau Gasol, and began to play success rates.

Howard was activated in this round, and he made consecutive kills on the inside.

Perkins had already committed four fouls in the third quarter and had to go off the break.

Howard made three of his four free throws to stabilize the difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by 16 points.

By the fourth quarter, the Thunder launched a final charge.

At this time, Kobe Bryant, who had been dormant for a whole game, finally stood up.

He used accurate mid-range jumpers to extinguish the flames of the Thunder's counterattack.

Playing the Thunder last year, Kobe Bryant lacked physical strength at the last moment, and all kinds of iron struck, sending the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals.

This year he won't allow himself to make the same mistake again, so this one, he's been building up his energy.

In order to firmly grasp the victory in their own hands and not let it slip away.

Last year, there was also a Harden on the Thunder bench, and when it was time to chase points, Harden, Westbrook, and Durant were all present, and everyone had a strong scoring explosion.

As a result, there is one less this year, only Durant and Westbrook, Westbrook is prone to mistakes with the ball, Durant is under too much pressure and will not receive the ball.

Westbrook made a passing error in the third quarter, and when chasing points in the fourth quarter, he threw two more chasing three-pointers with his head, allowing Bryant to counterattack and hit consecutive shots.

The Thunder completely lost the opportunity to turn the game around.

At 117:103, the Lakers won the third game with a 14-point advantage, leading the Thunder 2:1!

They regained home advantage.

Li Liang didn't score again in the fourth quarter, and he used his three-point deterrent power to deliver three assists.

Even so, he hit nine three-pointers and scored 30 points.

Reach 30 points for the first time in the playoffs!

Durant and Westbrook combined for 69 points, but they couldn't prevent the team from losing at home, giving up home-court advantage.

At the end of the game, Westbrook and Durant left the court from the tunnel with their heads bowed and their faces full of disappointment.

They were completely suppressed in this game, and both played well but also made some mistakes.

On the other hand, Li Liang's 9 three-pointers are too dazzling, and at the same time, he continues to maintain his usual style in the past: almost no mistakes.

This is a habit he developed when he played in college, and he could not have provided much role when he could have played, so if you make a mistake again, isn't it a negative effect?

So with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, he only had 1 turnover.

Bryant scored 21 points and dished out 11 assists, and Bryant became more and more comfortable switching between the two forms.

After the game, Li Liang was interviewed by a TV reporter.

Looking at the Ford Center, which had almost withdrawn, Li Liang said: "The fans in the city are very enthusiastic, but I want to say sorry, I must take away a victory here, definitely." That's a promise I made to a friend that I said to a friend that tomorrow I would play really well and take the win away and now I did it. ”

Then, Li Liang waved his hand to the camera and said, "Hey, I said I can, yes, this is the home of the devil, but if an angel comes, then the devil is not so terrible." ”

After the interview ended, Li Liang returned to the locker room, and Mike Brown and Kobe Bryant pulled Li Liang to attend the post-game press conference.

This time Li Liang was not happy, he didn't want to take on the task anymore and talk big, he had to always pay attention to his elegant image!

However, what Li Liang said in the post-match interview immediately sparked a small craze in sports news media and social networks.

Li Liang broke out in the playoffs, and 9 three-pointers in a single game helped the Lakers defeat the Thunder.

This kind of performance certainly made the Lakers and Chinese fans very excited.

But what everyone is more concerned about is who is the "friend" that Li Liang said in the post-match interview?

Why did you promise this friend that the game must be won, and what is the relationship between the two?

Anyway, there are all kinds of speculations on the Internet, some people say it's Kobe, some people say it's a lover, some people say it's an agent, some people say it's just an ordinary friend, and the two bet.

Then, a bunch of IDs such as "Gan Li Liang's friend", "Li Liang's friend", "friend Gan Li Liang", "Li Liang's friend" and other IDs popped up on the Internet, posting jokes on forums, INS, and Twitter.

Anyway, a victory is another joy for the fans.

Oh, and as for Li Liang's real friend Wei Dazhi, of course he had to come out at this time and posted a post on social media, "I'm that friend of Bruce Lee." ”

The post was forwarded in large numbers, but the people who ate melons said that it was impossible for Li Liang to speak on TV specifically for Wei Dazhi.

Wei Dazhi said confidently, "You don't have to guess, that friend of Li Liang is me!" ”

Anyway, Li Liang didn't have a social media account, so there was no way to refute him, and he didn't have the heart to refute it.

After a series of activities such as post-match interviews, Li Liang returned to the hotel with the team bus.

It was a fierce match, and the veterans were a little tired, but the victory made everyone look in good spirits.

And Li Liang's goods are not just spirit, his eyes are shining, looking at him like this, there is no problem with the fourth game in an hour.

However, when he returned to his room with his bag, he found that it was empty and empty.

I left a note at the head of the bed, which read: I have something to go back to Los Angeles to discuss, go first, take care of myself, I'm afraid that the ghost will call me. You've done a fantastic job, tonight and last night.

Li Liang looked at the sticky notes and fell on the bed, and there was still a vague aroma on the pillow.

"Hey, damn it, I'm not afraid of a female ghost."

……

After playing the third game, Li Liang scored 30 points in a single game, so the system also gave him a chance to draw a lottery.

Li Liang entered the system, and he was not very hopeful about the lottery.

This system is getting more and more picky now, always giving him some inexplicable and useless props.

I don't know what the lucky pin, what the key to the space library, whether the egg is used or not, I don't know what it is for.

There is also the next part of the history book, which inexplicably came to a preface, and there is no shadow behind.

Li Liang now wants to know what the next part is, because it will affect his choice of summer.

If the next part still needs to be played with the Los Angeles Lakers, then he will choose to stay with the Lakers.

If not, he would consider leaving.

Of course, I just don't know if the tasks in the previous part will be affected after leaving.

Zhu Shu said that she went back to Los Angeles to talk about things, and later the two chatted on text messages, and Zhu Shu said that there were teams in private contact.

After Li Liang's 30-point performance in the playoffs, this contact became more frequent.

These include the Los Angeles Clippers, the Houston Rockets, and the Spurs, all of whom are trying to establish contact with Zhu Shu through their respective connections.

As long as Li Liang jumps out of the contract, with the Lakers' salary situation, it is impossible for the opportunity to match the contracts offered by other teams.

Like Rocket Morey, nine times out of ten if you get a poison contract like Jeremy Lin, the Lakers will suffer.

It's just that they don't know that Li Liang's stay does not depend on Zhu Shu, on the size of the contract, and on the factors that any normal player would consider.

His decision is only up to him, to his heart to make himself stronger.

Another chance to spin the lucky wheel, Li Liang thought, give me a useful prop!

The turntable spun and slowly stopped:

[Congratulations, you have obtained a special item, "Catalog of the City of Angels Book (Part II)", please check it at the Exchange Center.] 】

"Damn, it's useless again!"

Li Liang was speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, with the prologue and the table of contents, it means that there is only one opportunity left before the opening of the second part of the City of Angels book.
