The strength of the two sides is between the two, and the advantages and disadvantages on the field will be exchanged in an instant.

Basically, in two rounds, the leader will become the laggard, and the laggard may overtake.

And when the Lakers played well in front, the offense suddenly fell into a dilemma - they couldn't hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Li Liang's point was strictly guarded, and his treatment was comparable to Kobe.

After hitting a three-pointer in the first quarter, Tzu Shiping missed the next two attempts.

The Lakers didn't dare to let Tzu Shiping shoot anymore, and Brown replaced Nash.

But after Nash came up, he didn't defend well twice and was caught by the Heat to counterattack, with James and Wade scoring one goal each.

The Heat suddenly surpassed the Lakers by 6 points at 32:38.

This wave of attacks injured the Lakers, and Brown immediately called a timeout.

For more than four minutes, the Lakers only relied on Kobe Bryant to score points on singles, and everyone else was dumb all at once.

And the reason for all this in the final analysis is that Li Liang's three-point shot was controlled.

Spo caught a very fatal weakness on the offensive end of the Lakers in the first game of the series.

In this case, there are only two ways to crack it, one is that Li Liang has to throw a three-point shot into it no matter what.

Second, the offense of other points must be more efficient than Li Liang, so high that the Heat give up their targeted defense against Li Liang.

But if the second point can be realized, the Lakers' offense on the outside will not rely so much on Li Liang's three-point shot.

With this kind of lineup configuration of the Lakers, there would have been a lot of space for three-point shots, but unfortunately they only have one real shooter, which is Li Liang.

Fortunately, Li Liang is not only a high-yielding sow, but also efficient like Lao Zhan, throwing more and having a high hit rate.

From time to time, there is a big outburst, and the scalp of the opponent who throws is numb.

In the regular season this season, Li Liang broke the total number of three-point goals in the player's rookie season without any suspense.

He made 258 three-pointers in one season, second only to Curry's 272 in total three-pointers this century.

And his three-point shooting rate is as high as 49%, which is the first in the league.

In the playoffs, that number dropped to 46%, which is still a terrifying shooting percentage, surpassing Kobe's two-point shooting percentage again.

But until the first game of the finals, Li Liang has not made a single three-point shot.

Although at the beginning of the first quarter, Li Liang knew that the Heat were going to put a defensive trap for himself and block his three-pointers, he deliberately did not shoot three-pointers and helped the team in other ways.

But as the game deepens, Li Liang can't keep three points, and then the Lakers can still win the game.

During the pause, Brown asked Li Liang to make a decisive shot when he had the opportunity, even if he couldn't shoot, to put enough pressure on the Heat's outside line.

Li Liang thought to himself, if my mother can't shoot, can he put pressure on the Heat wool and put pressure on them to the basket?

Brown replaced Howard by the way, thinking that if Li Liang couldn't open the three points, he would try to open Howard's point and create space for the outside.

The inside line and the outside line have always complemented each other and influenced each other.

But you can't go on both sides, and it's a vicious circle.

At the white-hot American Airlines Center, Mike Brown sweated for the game.

He knew that in this case, the coach's line-up would no longer work.

This kind of targeted defense relies on the players themselves to break him.

Either Li Liang throws the damn three-pointer in, or the point on the inside opens up and makes the Heat give up their encirclement of Li Liang.

Li Liang was already thinking about whether to use props, so he gave up after thinking about it.

Props can only be used once in a match, so you should save them for the most critical moments.

As for the current situation, Li Liang has his own ideas.

……

The game restarted, and the Lakers went from leading the court to suddenly falling behind by 6 points, and the situation became a little unfavorable.

On the first offense after the pause, Li Liang received the ball from the outside, and he could intuitively feel that at the moment when he got the ball, the players on the strong side of the Heat almost paid attention to themselves.

It's really an unprecedented treatment, and this is probably how Kobe Bryant feels when he gets the ball every game.

The pressure is really not ordinary.

Li Liang passed the ball to Howard in the low post, and Howard hit Bosh with his back and hit a hook shot that turned.

Howard adjusted his form and started scoring under the basket.

However, the Heat made another three-pointer.

James gave the ball to Cole, who came out in a circle, and Kerr received the ball on the left side and hit a 45-degree three-point shot!

"Another three! Ouch, the Heat's three-point shot was opened, 6 of 11 shots, more than 50 percent of the three-point shooting rate. On the Lakers' side, they have scored two three-pointers so far, both of which were scored in the first quarter, and Li Liang has not scored a three-pointer so far. Let's see when exactly he can make a three-pointer. ”

Everyone, including the Heat's coaches and fans, was wondering when Li Liang would be able to shoot a three-pointer.

Or he can't shoot, he just needs to vote, and the Heat are happy to see it.

On a stage like the finals, even a historic shooter like Ray Allen has missed 8 shots.

It was the third game of the 2010 Finals against the Lakers, and just before that, at Stamps, Ray Allen had just taken the Lakers with eight three-pointers in a single game.

So on a big stage like the finals, anything can happen.

But then, Li Liang really didn't shoot three-point shots.

He fed Howard another single on the wing, and Howard hit another Bosh in the same position in the same way.

Hit two in a row, Bosh this low post defense, trash can.

And the Heat resolutely did not wrap up, resolutely did not give Howard the opportunity to give Li Liang a three-point shot, do you have the ability to kill me in the low post?

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat withstood Hibbert and West's strong interior attack, and now with a Howard, Spo will not change his defensive strategy.

Then, Wade hit Kobe Bryant in the low post, and after turning around, he missed a throw with his right hand.

Li Liang took the backcourt rebound and handed it to Nash to fight back.

Nash found Tzu Shiping, who went down to the bottom right corner, and the ball was accurately passed.

Ci Shiping did not hesitate to shoot a three-point shot in the bottom corner, but the ball was interfered with by James who returned to the defense, and the ball was deflected as soon as the shot was made.

"Ci Shiping's three points! Oops, it was crooked, it didn't touch the basket, but it was picked up by Li Liang, who followed up, and the basket went in for a layup. Hey, Li Liang didn't shoot three points, and he hit a few Hao under the basket. ”

After the timeout, Li Liang fed Howard twice for singles and once for a rebound without shooting three-pointers, narrowing the gap to 3 points.

The Heat went into Wade time, and he rested long enough.

He used Bosh's cover to cut and receive a pass from Kerr from the center to the basket, causing Howard to foul the defense and hit both free throws to maintain the advantage.

Subsequently, Bryant dribbled across the half court, dribbled under his hip in succession, and scored into the three-second zone from the right side.

The Heat were surrounded by three people, and Kobe Bryant didn't pass the ball and missed a throw.

In the regular season, there must be a few times in each game.

But Li Liang went from the front to the three-second zone and picked up the rebound on the heads of three Heat players.

Then he quickly distributed the ball to Nash at the top of the arc, Kerr pounced, and Nash distributed the ball to Ci Shiping on the wing.

A big vacancy in Ci Shiping, a three-point shot!

"Ci Shiping still has to vote, big vacancy, enter! Good shot, in the second quarter, the Lakers finally scored one or three points, and it was still voted by Ci Shiping, not by Li Liang. But this ball is related to Li Liang, Kobe Bryant missed the shot, Li Liang grabbed the rebound in the front court, and the Heat's defense has been completely dispersed, so Ci Shiping has such a good opportunity. ”

That's not all, the Heat Battier missed a three-point pass from the bottom corner.

Howard grabbed the rebound.

At this point, the two sides are only two points apart.

Kobe Bryant took the ball and killed the half, and then a penetrating hanging pass to Li Liang, who was about to go!

Li Liang's ability to get down quickly now is really first-class.

In the past, he went down the bottom corner, but tonight he didn't, he went in the middle like Gasol.

He knew that the Heat pressed on the wings very strongly, but the middle was relatively empty.

After receiving a pass from Kobe, Li Liang made a layup, but was interfered with by James behind him.

But Li Liang got in a good position, won the rebound, and as soon as his foot touched the ground, he didn't jump and threw the ball to the basket.

The Heat's defenders squeezed up and jumped up to interfere and didn't score.

But Li Liang didn't jump, and when the ball didn't go in, the Heat players all landed, he jumped again, and then lightly put the ball into the basket.

Make a basket!

The score is tied!

By the way, he brushed up three frontcourt rebounds.

This is one of the techniques that Moses Malone gave him.

Li Liang thought, who said I would only shoot three points?
