Chapter 724: Regaining Status
A three-pointer at the buzzer's final minute of the first half offset Curry's first three-pointer in the first half.
And Li Liang's 6 three-pointers in the half also equaled the record of Michael Jordan hitting 6 three-pointers in the Finals in 1992.
When this ultra-long three-point shot was hit, the entire Oracle Arena was half calm and half noisy, of course, the Warriors fans held their heads and were silent, but many Chinese fans hidden in it cheered loudly, and the atmosphere was very strange for a while.
The Warriors' players left the court with their heads bowed and returned to the locker room, while Li Liang high-fived his teammates.
The Pacers players are not very excited, they may be really used to it, Li Liang's ultra-long three-point shooting is really commonplace.
But Li Liang himself is calm on the surface, and a little excited in his heart.
This kind of shooting, if he didn't have a three-point shooting percentage improvement post in the past, he wouldn't be able to shoot, and it would be difficult to shoot.
After all, without prop bonuses, his three points are not yet godlike.
But this ball is different, Li Liang can feel that the moment he shoots, it is really good, quite good.
This is not an illusion, maybe [three-point shooting percentage improvement post] is really integrated into his body?
……
Back in the locker room, everyone was excited, but Li Liang said to everyone: "I'm sorry, please be quiet." ”
The locker room suddenly became very quiet, and the players, coaches, and staff all looked at Li Liang, thinking that he was going to make a statement.
In the first half, Li Liang single-handedly scored 28 points and hit six three-pointers, which can be said to be the basis for the Pacers to take the lead.
He speaks, and no one will not listen.
"Uh... I'm not going to say anything, I'm going to ask everyone to be quiet because I want to get some sleep. ”
After speaking, Li Liang found a chair with a backrest, sat on it, put his feet on the bench, closed his eyes, stretched his legs - and fell asleep.
Teammates look at each other, what is this operation? At halftime, you really rest and sleep?
Bird thinks he's well-informed, he's done and seen everything when he's a player and a coach, but I've never seen it.
Everyone didn't speak, they were afraid that they would make him sleep.
Mike Brown stepped up at this time, I've seen this meeting!
When he was in the Lakers and played in the summer league, Li Liang slept directly on the sidelines.
After waking up, he appeared on the stage, and he was a big killer, and he was full of heat to find teeth.
So Brown reminded everyone to be quiet and let him sleep for a while.
Li Liang quickly fell asleep, then entered the system to check, and when he came to the exchange center, he found that the three-point shooting rate improvement post had indeed disappeared.
Neither the previous hoards nor the purchases in the exchange center are gone.
The originally purchased slot has been grayed out.
Li Liang was convinced this time that it had become a part of his body like the [Garbage King] medal, but he didn't know when it would be able to play a role.
Maybe it's will, maybe it's confidence, maybe it's luck.
Thinking that this useful guy is gone, Li Liang is still a little reluctant in his heart, this is his most proud and best prop.
And it's a big consumer of his anger value, and the system is willing to take it off the shelves, isn't it......
But Li Liang immediately remembered that the price of [Mid-range Shooting Rate Improvement Post] seemed to be much higher than [Three-point Shooting Rate Improvement Post]......
Understood, understood, had ideas.
Cheap and good goods are off the shelves, forcing you to use expensive, cost-effective new products!
Sure enough, it's this routine!
"I'm Gan Liliang, that's the way it looks, MD."
Li Liang has figured out the routine of the system, and it is estimated that the consumption of [Medium Distance Hit Rate Improvement Post] will increase in the future, and the consumption of anger value will increase.
Of course, he still needs to find out the state and feeling of his three-point shot, and it would be a good thing if he could get the lifting post to blend with him.
Because the tasks in the system can't use props, those big demons in the system, Li Liang hasn't really succeeded in the challenge.
After sleeping for about ten minutes, Li Liang figured out the problem and woke up.
Then he saw his teammates surrounding him, looking at him like a panda, Li Liang got up from the chair and said, "What are you doing watching me, haven't you seen anyone sleep?" With five minutes to go, let's lay out the tactics for the second half. ”
Li Liang is now completely ignoring Bird, and he opened his mouth to arrange the tactics for the second half.
"Offense, in the third quarter, we have to start attacking, we can't stop defending passively, we have to play against the Warriors. The Warriors must put all their hopes of chasing points in the third quarter, and if they want to exert their strength in the third quarter, don't give them this opportunity, let go of their hands and attack. ”
The strategy given by Li Liang is to attack, and the Pacers relied on defense to maintain their advantage in the second quarter, but under the advance rule, it is very difficult for you to survive a game by defense.
Moreover, in the second quarter, the Warriors actually scored 35 points, and when Curry didn't open three points, Thompson, Green, Iguodala and other forward players took turns to attack, and it was impossible to defend it completely.
It is still necessary to play the offense of the whole team, 72 points at halftime, and the Pacers' offense has done a good job, but it needs to be maintained.
After Li Liang finished speaking, Bird had to add two more sentences, the time has come, forget it, there is nothing to say.
Players from both sides are back on the court, and the third quarter is about to begin.
……
The bright yellow Oracle Arena is back in the air, as if the 16-point gap in the first half is gone.
For the third quarter of the Warriors, the fans were very confident.
This season's Warriors' games, especially at Oracle's home court, have been too many in the third quarter.
Many teams were able to barely resist in the first half, and the game ended early in the third quarter when the Warriors broke out.
Among them, Curry's three-point shot was definitely a weapon to kill the opponent in the third quarter.
In the first shot of the opening game of the third quarter, Curry made a three-point shot after using cover on the outside, but he didn't score......
Curry's three-point shot tonight was pretty bad, scoring one in the first half, and he still didn't find the shooting touch.
Of course, there was a trace of anxiety in his heart, he wanted to win very much, especially he wanted to win Li Liang very much.
As a player with a high level of accomplishment in three-point shooting, he was trained by his father to shoot the ball from an early age.
The way he shot, the distance, the feel in his hands, is absolutely unique and groundbreaking.
He won the MVP this season, and his flashy performance in the regular season made him the second player to feel the charm of the three-point shot.
That's right, he can only be the second, and there is already Bruce Lee in front.
Curry has repeatedly studied Li Liang's videos and believes that Li Liang first has an innate advantage in height and arm span.
Secondly, this guy can be called fox-like cunning in the choice of shooting timing.
But some of his unreasonable shots are extremely shocking, they are really a combination of ice and fire.
In the first half, Li Liang's last blow really hit Curry, and he felt that he could have shot such a ball, but Li Liang still took the lead.
At Under Armour, his popularity was very, very high, and he once surpassed Li Liang in sneaker sales - after all, he was a defender and an American.
But within Under Armour, from bosses to employees, they often remind him of their behavior, "At Under Armour, you're important, important, but you're not the most important, and we have Bruce Lee." ”
He really wants to prove that he is the strongest, and the finals are undoubtedly the best chances.
But Li Liang's performance in the first half was desperate.
McGee grabbed the rebound, Hill organized the offense, and after Li Liang received the ball on the left side, he also tried to shoot a three-pointer, but he didn't score.
As soon as the ball was shot, the audience at the scene really had their hearts in their throats.
At the beginning of the third quarter, if Li Liang scored another three points, from the fans to the players, they probably wanted to surrender.
Curry, on the other hand, was still a little impatient, and he collided with Barnes in the offensive coordination and was almost stealed by Granger.
Thankfully, the ball was out of bounds, and it was the Warriors' possession.
Then, Curry on the outside receives the ball, a turnback, a feint shakes over Hill's defense, cuts from the baseline, Green's hanging pass from the sideline, Curry receives the ball and faces McGee, a high throw!
Hit! The referee blew the whistle and caused McGee's defensive foul!
Curry stepped up to the free throw line and hit the free throw.
He thought he should start with this ball and get back into shape.
