Chapter 703: Desperate Guy
Many experienced stars, when they don't feel good about shooting, will choose to make fouls on the free throw line and use free throws to adjust their shooting feel.
Li Liang is also experienced, but this thing is not on the free throw line because of a bad hand, he hopes that his hand can feel better.
For him, creating an unparalleled three-point storm was exactly what he was going to do.
It's just that in the playoffs, unlike the regular season, you can basically do it by taking drugs.
Facing a team like the Cavaliers in the playoffs, if you want to break them down with three points, you still need to put some thought into it.
The body of steel must not be worn, and the feel rune has been assembled a long time ago, and the [three-point shooting rate improvement post] will use the A-level number, which will last a little longer.
It can't be used now, and if you score another three points, the Cavaliers will definitely call a timeout.
Is it the end of a timeout?
So Li Liang was still waiting, patiently debugging his feel with free throws to maintain the point difference, while looking for opportunities to try to pause the Cavaliers.
Sure enough, Blatter on the sidelines was a little agitated.
And James didn't mean to call a timeout, anyway, there was James on the field, and whether the timeout was suspended or not still depends on his face.
James felt like he could save it.
On the offensive end, the referee really helped James save it.
first blew Li Liang for a defensive foul, to be honest, Li Liang was a little confused.
As soon as James got the ball, I went up and touched him, and he blew for a foul.
What's the matter, James can't touch it?
ran to protest with the referee, and the referee bluntly said, "Touching you is also a foul." ”
"It's a foul to touch me, look at my arm, is this touching? Is this a touch? ”
Li Liang stretched out his scarred arm to show the referee, if it weren't for the fear of being blown for a technical foul, Li Liang really wanted to "touch" the referee or say, "You touch one and try it." ”
However, the protest was ineffective, and the defensive foul was counted.
In this way, Li Liang committed three fouls, and he had to be careful when defending behind.
If he had four fouls, his plan would have been ruined again in the third quarter.
James knew that Li Liang was afraid of fouls, so he went straight to the basket from the baseline, and then made a beautiful pass to Mozgov, who cut in the middle, and Mozgov made an easy layup.
Li Liang could interfere with this ball, but because he was worried about fouling, he still let Mozgov go and let him throw the basket easily.
On the Pacers' side, Hill is again, and Blatter seems determined to use Irving to defend Hill and keep George for J.R. Smith or Granger.
If anything, this strategy is not without merit, as the help that Granger and J.R. Smith give to Li Liang in the offense is crucial.
Hill broke through the basket, Thompson helped defend and passed to the left 45 degrees, and Granger received the ball and missed a three-point shot.
Then, Irving quickly countered with the ball, cut in with Thompson's cover, and hit a mid-range pullup jumper.
The knight really held on.
66:55, a gap of 11 points.
Just when Li Liang was a little anxious, there was a little accident on the field.
James twisted his right knee as he counter-attacked.
Then, the Pacers missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the Cavaliers called a timeout after getting the rebound.
James's expression was quite painful, and he walked with a limp, and Li Liang did not take advantage of the danger to attack James, but chose to try to shoot a three-pointer from the outside and did not score.
In the video replay of the scene, James did not touch anyone, but twisted himself in the process of running.
Li Liang looked at James when he got off the court, and James was already sitting on the bench, still with a painful expression on his face.
"I'm really sorry, this time period is over, then you may not have to come up later."
Li Liang silently pronounced the death penalty to James and the knight in his heart.
Of course, he won't say it, as long as he doesn't say it, it doesn't count as a failure.
The Cavaliers are just showing signs of momentum, and if they miss the three-point point and then counterattack, the difference will be within 10 points.
But I don't know what the situation is with James's sprain.
The timeout ended quickly, and the Cavaliers without James did not lose their fighting spirit.
Irving stepped up, broke through the bottom corner, and scored a layup from a small angle to narrow the margin to nine points.
Li Liang received the ball from the backfield, took the initiative to control the ball over half the court, and the defender became George again.
A massacre was inevitable.
George's defense is honest, with more than specification and less aggression.
George's defensive movements, footwork, and judgment are really good.
But these things do it, and a lot of times it's useless for an explosive pitcher because you can't interfere with his rhythm.
Li Liang was like that, he took a deep breath and beckoned McGee's cover.
At the top of the arc, his favorite position, a simple cover, a little over, his steps back and back, to the distance of one to two steps outside the three-point line where few people shoot three-pointers, this is Li Liang's favorite shooting point.
He is not afraid of far, but not empty.
[Three-point shooting percentage improvement post A]!
Collect the ball and shoot fast!
George reacted, but it was too late.
The ball arcs straight into the middle of the net!
Three-point hit!
Li Liang took a long breath and entered!
Yes, my feelings are well adjusted.
At this time, Li Liang found that his chest began to glow again!
So soon, the Order of the Garbage King is going to light up so soon.
It shows that Li Liang's state is really well debugged.
Off the court, James took off his shoes and socks for ice treatment.
Li Liang was fortunately not easily injured, and if he suffered an ankle injury, the Pacers' bench and coaching staff would probably die en masse as soon as his shoes were taken off.
Seeing Li Liang's three-point shot, James couldn't sit still.
But I can't sit still, I have to sit, my ankle hurts.
James has carefully studied Li Liang's style of play and knows that this guy will suddenly explode at some point.
That kind of outburst can basically ignore your defense and hit ultra-long three-pointers in succession on your head, leaving you with nothing to do.
The score will suddenly be pulled away a lot, and then you will not be able to catch up with the back.
James had a hunch that Li Liang's time period had arrived.
He immediately said to Blatter, "Coach, call another timeout." ”
Blatter wondered, "Just called a pause." ”
"Call another one, I think I should call another one."
But Blatter didn't listen to James this time.
As the head coach, his authority in the team has been stripped away a lot by James, why do you have to listen to you when you call a timeout in the middle of the game?
And just called a timeout, Bruce Lee only scored a three-pointer, do you need to call again?
There are only a few pauses, what about the fourth quarter?
Blatter was unmoved, in fact, James was right this time.
You keep the timeout until the fourth quarter, and to be honest, it's probably useless.
Irving also tried a surprise three-pointer on the offensive end, but missed.
McGee grabbed the rebound again and handed the ball to Li Liang.
As soon as Li Liang got the ball, James trembled.
Fast forward over half, double cover by Granger and McGee in the high post.
The Cavaliers' side is not without a little defense, George and James Jones are all chasing, capturing Li Liang.
But Li Liang still found an opportunity at 45 degrees on the right side, and shot again with three points! Again!
"Pause! Suspend the coach! ”
With an ice pack in one hand, James looked up and yelled at Blatter.
Blatter stood on the sidelines and just didn't call a timeout.
As a result, the baseline serves, Owen takes the ball, and Li Liang suddenly stepped forward, a [Death Entanglement]!
This is almost Li Liang's repertoire.
After the steal, Li Liang could go directly to the basket, but he didn't, but held the ball and went straight to the bottom right corner.
It was right across from the Cavaliers' bench.
James watched Li Liang rush towards him with the ball, and he really wanted to rush up and snatch the ball in Li Liang's hand.
But he can't, he's injured, he's off the field.
Then, between Li Liang dribbled to the bottom corner of the right side, turned around and aimed a little, and shot again with three points.
The third three-pointer in two minutes, James didn't want to watch.
He lowered his head, then heard the loud cheers of the audience and pressed down on his head.
Again in, again in.
What a desperate guy.
