On April 16, the rain stopped in Russia.

The rain fell for several days, and the whole city was soaked with rain.

However, it is still spring, and the humidity of spring is not uncomfortable, on the contrary, there is a refreshing feeling.

If there's one thing that particularly appeals to Li Liang in Russia, it's the weather.

Although the climate in Los Angeles is very good, the Mediterranean-style climate still makes Li Liang not very accustomed to it.

Indiana is too far north, and the winters are a bit cold.

In Russia, everything is just right, the climate is suitable, there will be a little snow in the winter, but not much, and the spring and summer are warm and humid, which feels more like the Jiangnan region of China.

Li Liang has been here for more than half a year, half of the 82 games are played in Russia, the city's transportation, food, the comfort of the stadium, the enthusiasm of the fans, and the overall configuration of the Thunder are all summed up in two words - comfortable.

This is the most comfortable season Li Liang has played since entering the league.

The 82 regular season games were easily completed, and by the way, the record of the best record in history.

Li Liang is averaging 26.8 points per game, which ranks fifth on the scoring list, in addition to 7.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.5 steals.

Among them, 2.3 steals are the best in the league, followed by Curry, Paul, Rubio and Lowry.

You know, these statistics were all won as substitutes.

This makes him invincible in the Sixth Man of the Year award.

At the same time, the best defensive player will also have a slight possibility.

As for MVP, the competition will be fierce.

But on this day, the playoffs are about to start, and the regular season has ended for the awards, and Li Liang no longer cares.

The comfortable regular season is behind him, and he will go into playoff mode.

Once the playoffs start, the tasks in the system will stop and you will be able to devote all your energy to the game.

Of course, those props and skills in the system exchange center will also play their role and give Li Liang strong support.

Last time after playing against the Spurs, after getting 20 assists and the best record in history, Li Liang got two rewards.

One is a special item, [Magician's Lucky Band], Li Liang is now stunned when he sees the word "lucky".

[Dave Debusschel's lucky hand] needless to say, it is a miracle skill.

There is also the [Adolf Rupp's Lucky Pin] that I once got from a mission, and I don't know what this thing is used for to this day.

Now there is a magician's lucky head ring, this thing looks like a Monkey King's golden hoop, Li Liang tried to wear it on his head in the system, and he didn't fail to take it off.

Of course, no bodhisattva jumped out and said, "You are no longer a mortal......

Anyway, it's a thing that doesn't explain anything, and I don't know what to use it for.

However, after getting the best record in history, a consumable prop was given quite interesting, called [Xuanzong's Charm].

There are three cards in total, which are burned on the field when used, allowing teammates on the field to reach their best condition within five minutes.

In other words, it's a group booster that can get players in 100% shape for five minutes.

But for the current thunder, this prop is useless.

The Thunder is already too strong, what can five minutes be 100 percent?

Anyway, the other side can't beat it.

The Thunder's strength is undeniable, and in the playoffs, the Thunder are completely free of injury problems and player fatigue.

As we approach the last two weeks of the playoffs, we have basically been resting and can be said to be in excellent shape.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies on the opposite side used to be known as the hardest bone to gnaw in the playoffs.

But in the regular season, he was plagued by injuries.

In February of this year, Gasol Jr. was unable to participate in the playoffs due to foot surgery, which resulted in the season being reimbursed.

The black and white bear has one bear, while the other bear, Randolph, is 35 years old this year.

Although he can still contribute 15 points per game, his power in the low post is long gone.

What's more, Thunder has Li Liang, and he is not afraid of Randolph at all.

On the evening of the 16th, the first round of the playoffs officially started, and the Thunder faced the sick bears at home.

In this game, Li Liang still came on as a substitute.

As a result, the Thunder led the Grizzlies by 17 points at 28:11 in the first quarter, and it seemed that they didn't want to give the Grizzlies any chance at all.

The Grizzlies were beaten and had no ability to resist the whole process, the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, and because it was a playoff game, the Thunder were not merciless at all, and at halftime it felt like they were going to 58.

Of course, the playoffs 58 are not that easy.

In the end, the Thunder had 12 players get the chance to play, five scored in double figures, and Westbrook scored a team-high 24 points.

The Thunder swept the Grizzlies at 110-75 at home with a 35-point advantage and easily won the first game.

It can be said that winning this game is quite easy, and Li Liang feels that he is not sweating.

said that he would enter playoff mode, but he was stunned and didn't give him a chance to show playoff mode.

It can only be said that time and injuries are merciless, and the grizzly bear is no longer the grizzly bear that once made the teeth of the thunder gnaw.

In the other three games on the first day, the Spurs lost to the Clippers at home, unexpectedly losing home-court advantage.

It can only be said that the Spurs had a smooth ride in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Wiggins and Booker still need to hone well.

In the East, the second-placed Raptors also had an upset, losing to the Pistons at home.

DeRozan and Lowry were a bit blind when they got to the playoffs, and Toronto fans were going to suffer again.

The other game in the East was the Celtics vs. the Hawks, and the rookies pecked each other, but it was extremely motivating.

The Hawks narrowly defeated the Celtics by 102-101 and got the first point of the series.

The real and most eye-catching matchup in the first round was the 45 battle between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Both teams are strong and have a very good fan base, especially in China, where the fans of both teams are evenly matched, second only to the nomadic army that follows Li Liang.

And the two teams also have a lot of old feuds, Howard is not happy with the Lakers, and he has a lot of complaints after being traded to the Rockets.

There was a lot of talk about when the two teams met in the regular season, and now that they meet in the playoffs, it is Mars hitting Earth.

However, in terms of strength, the Lakers are a cut above the Rockets.

Leonard is in good shape, Love is also in his prime, and Kobe Bryant is getting older.

On the Rockets' side, Harden is the façade, Howard has slipped badly, and the chemistry between the two can only be said to be average.

Howard's own lack of attack power has led to his increasing puzzle words, making it difficult for him to play a leading role in the offense.

A lot of ball pressure is still on Harden's shoulders.

In terms of the ability to digest the ball, Harden is also very strong, except for a slightly more turnover.

In the first game, the two teams played a big game in Stamps, which was the best game for the 17th.

The two sides fought to overtime, and at the critical moment, the Rockets trailed the Lakers by two points.

Harden broke through with the ball and was tackled by Leonard and failed to make a foul.

Leonard countered with a dunk to help the Lakers secure the victory.

114:110, the Lakers take the lead.

The other matchup in the West is the 71-win Warriors vs. the Trail Blazers.

The good news for the Warriors is that the Trail Blazers are no match for them at all, playing halftime.

The bad news is that Stephen Curry has been in shape, suffering a sprained ankle during the game and never returned to the court after going off the court.

After the match, he will have an MRI to determine if he will be in the next match.

All in all, it's not good news for the Warriors.

Without Curry's Warriors, there's one less engine.

In the first round, you can still play against an opponent like the Trail Blazers, but in the second round, it is dangerous.

On the 18th, the third day of competition.

Thunder vs. Grizzlies rematch.

The Grizzlies still don't stand a chance.

In this game, Li Liang finally showed himself in a playoff mode.

Both Durant and Westbrook were in average form, while Li Liang was completely in control of the game.

He scored 29 points in the first half and hit five three-pointers to give the Thunder a 19-point halftime lead.

In the regular season, the Thunder often opened in three quarters, and in the playoffs, they evolved again, clocking in at halftime.

The grizzly bear has no ability to resist, and can only be pressed and rubbed under him by the thunder.

99:71, another big win without suspense.

On the 19th, the NBA officially released a message: the results of the selection of the best sixth man in the regular season came out.

Bruce Lee was no surprise to get an award that the average superstar wouldn't have gotten at all.
