There are many ways to take away the game, such as James and Wade, and take away the Chicago Bulls in one operation.

There is also a Lakers, a certain star, a one-pass operation, taking away the Lakers, and so on.

Li Liang is a player who is particularly good at killing the game with a series of three-pointers.

But because of this, the Spurs and Popovich are very defensive against Li Liang.

In this game, Li Liang hit a total of 3 three-pointers, either running out of the open space to shoot, or counterattacking in the fast break.

There are no ultra-long threes, no forced shots, no direct shots after covering.

On the one hand, because Li Liang played very cautiously in this game, and on the other hand, it was also because the Spurs defended very well.

Leonard has always played an effective close defense against Li Liang, and there are Parker, Green or Duncan at any time to press Li Liang in the high post.

One of the reasons why the Spurs played quite smoothly inside tonight was that Li Liang pulled the Spurs' defensive formation very open.

No way, this thing's three-point shot is too powerful.

And the Spurs' strategy persisted from the first quarter to the fourth quarter, and Popovich was determined that even if he lost, he couldn't let Li Liang's three-point shooting explode.

If Li Liang didn't play so efficiently tonight - he was really too efficient today, and he didn't lose a single shot.

For example, if the shooting percentage is cut in half, 50 percent, the Spurs are still on par with the Clippers at the moment.

But Li Liang's unexpected hit still made the Spurs fall into great passivity.

Now they stubbornly chased the 6-point difference, and Popovich saw Li Liang on the court and immediately replaced Leonard.

Before going on the court, Popovich carefully told Leonard, no doubt that Leonard must stare at Li Liang.

On the first offense after the pause, Li Liang held the ball outside and handed it to Griffin in the horn position.

Li Liang moved to the bottom right corner, Crawford came over, received the ball from Griffin's hand, got rid of it laterally, and then Jordan Jr. came over to cover.

After two screens, Crawford could get away from Parker's defense and get a long drive down the right side to get to the basket.

If Leonard at the bottom dares to come over to help defend, Crawford will not hesitate to give the ball to Li Liang, and Li Liang will definitely punish the Spurs with three points.

It was a good tactical design, but the problem was that Crawford didn't get past Parker on two screens.

As a result, Crawford could only choose to force a shot from outside the three-point line and missed.

Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound in the front court and gave the ball to Li Liang.

One-on-one on the flanks of Li Liang and Leonard.

Jordan Jr. immediately came over to cover the block, and Leonard had already taken a step forward, and Kaliliang's running position was close to the defense.

The blocking and dismantling of Li Liang must be squeezed through, this is common sense, if you bypass it, the result will be the explosion of the mother of the three-point shot.

Leonard's choice is no problem, but Li Liang's choice is different from usual.

After Leonard squeezed through the defense, Li Liang seized the gap behind the block, and dribbled with his left hand directly from the middle!

Duncan stepped forward to help defend, but he didn't dare to stick too tightly, because Little Jordan went down, and Little Jordan ate a lot of cakes tonight.

As a result, Li Liang mastered the rhythm, took a step in the free throw line, and suddenly stopped and made a jump shot!

It was a forward shot, and Leonard, who was behind him, wanted to reach out and block from behind, but it hit Li Liang's arm.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, Leonard fouled the beater, and Li Liang's jump shot also hit the board into the basket and hit three points!

The frontal pull-up jump shot on the board, to be honest, the average person will definitely think it will be luck when they see it.

It's okay to play the board at 45 degrees, you also play the board on the front, are you Wen Jingyin?

Li Liang knows that this is not luck, this is my strength!

Lao Tzu likes to throw boards.

Leonard thought he could seal Li Liang because he wasn't fast, and in order to avoid Duncan, there was a slowness in the rhythm.

As a result, he leaned forward, causing Leonard to reach and foul on the arm.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Liang hit a free throw.

At 90:81, Li Liang reassured Clippers fans as soon as he came up.

But Danny Green immediately received a pass from Parker at 45 degrees on the left side and hit a three-point shot, which made everyone's hearts tighten again!

At 90:84, the Spurs were in hot pursuit.

The two sides entered a fierce battle of positional warfare.

At this time, Li Liang went around from the bottom line, suddenly accelerated, and ran to the middle with the cover of Jordan Jr., Paul's pass arrived immediately, and Li Liang received the ball and stopped in a mid-distance jumper...... Again!

If there's one drawback to Leonard's defense, it's that his off-ball follow-up isn't particularly good.

Because he is relatively large, he will sometimes take a beat slower when going around the cover.

As a result, Li Liang seized the opportunity and threw in a C&S.

Li Liang's shooting touch tonight was very well adjusted and he was at his peak.

Duncan had already run out and sealed the ball, but it was still shot by Li Liang.

But Spurs' tenacity is irritating.

After receiving Leonard's pass at the top of the arc, Belinelli adjusted slightly, and immediately made a three-point shot from a long distance, and also hit!

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs' three-point shot was opened, and except for Duncan, the other four people on the court could shoot three-pointers.

At 92:87, the score was closer.

The Clippers fans are nervous and out of breath, and their offense can't be broken.

Everyone's eyes converged on Li Liang.

Li Liang completed the block and dismantling with Paul in the high post, he did not cut outside, but went straight down, received Paul's pass and entered the three-second zone, and after the feint shook off Duncan, he made another emergency stop jump shot!

This is really the reincarnation of Bob McDough, who still chooses to shoot at such a close distance under the basket because he is confident in his shot.

The ball hit the board, and it also caused Duncan's defensive foul, and he hit another three-pointer!

The hearts of the fans were relieved, followed by a burst of cheers.

Withstood it, the Clippers withd.

Li Liang went to the free throw line, that is, to send points, 95:87, which is still a safe point difference.

And the Spurs' offensive touch has finally run out.

After three consecutive screens, passes, and covers, they still didn't find space to attack.

In the end, Danny Green held the ball into the three-second zone, and Li Liang knocked the ball down Green's hand.

Without that dribbling skills, do you still want to rush to the basket?

Breaking the ball, the Clippers launched a counterattack, the ball was given to Paul, and the Spurs' retreat was still as fast as a whirlwind.

But Paul didn't give up the opportunity this time, and after wandering and observing between the three-point line and the three-second zone, Paul dribbled to the top of the free throw line and made a mid-range pullup jump shot...... Ball in!

At 97:87, the difference is back to 10 points!

Li Liang and Paul made a series of mid-range jumpers to successfully suppress the Spurs' counterattack momentum!

Three-point shooting is certainly the Clippers' winning formula, but they know that the mid-range is the graveyard of the Spurs' death.

In two minutes, Li Liang scored 8 points in a row, and the score of the whole game has reached 36 points, and none of the shots or free throws were lost.

Even if Li Liang plays so well, with 6 minutes left, the Clippers are only 10 points ahead, and the Spurs still have a chance to turn the tables.

The Clippers were not careless at all.

Popovich called a timeout, and after the timeout came back, Dio strode the ball to the basket, and then flicked the ball back to Belinelli on the outside.

Belinelli dribbled inside and hit a two-point pullup jumper from the horns.

At such critical moments, both sides have an inexplicable reliance on the mid-range jumper.

After that, the Clippers missed the attack, the Spurs counterattacked, and Duncan quickly went to the basket and made a layup.

scored 4 points in a row, and the difference was close again.

At the critical moment, Paul singled Parker one-on-one from the outside, and after a strong basket, he hit a board throw with his left hand.

At 99:91, the battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch.

In order to chase points, the Spurs pulled away across the board and attacked quickly on the third line.

Danny Green took a shot at 45 degrees on the right side after receiving a pass from Parker, and the ball brushed off the basket before falling out.

It's dangerous, it's dangerous.

Griffin got the rebound, dribbled and counterattacked, and after rushing across the halfcourt, he observed Li Liang in the bottom right corner.

Griffin dribbled to the middle and then made a low-handed pass to Li Liang.

Li Liang received the ball and made a sharp stop, he was not able to shake off Leonard, but it didn't matter.

[Three-point shooting percentage improvement post (a)]!

One more [Kassel's smile], and then shoot directly against Leonard's pursuit!

The ball cuts through the dome and hits the basket!

102:91, it was the decisive goal!

As soon as the ball hit, the Spurs wanted to be stepped on hard.

Of course, the complete black and white army still did not give up.

Duncan made a foul and hit both free throws to bring the margin back to within 10 points.

But Paul immediately used a crossover step to break through to the basket, and a high throw hit the board for a layup!

This trick Paul rarely used again after a major injury because it was too much for his knees.

When it comes to critical moments like these, Paul doesn't save anymore.

After all, it's not all Li Liang, obviously so young, and the playing style is the same as that of a 35-year-old veteran.

The Spurs were still resisting, and Leonard made Li Liang foul on the free throw line, and he also hit two free throws.

If you want to eat the whistle, the Spurs, a low-key team and a team that is considered unpopular in the league, have actually taken advantage of the whistle many times in history.

At 104:95, Spurs are still alive.

Naturally, the Clippers will continue to fight until the Spurs are killed.

Li Liang has fully entered the state, and the high position is coordinated with Paul's classic blocking and pick-and-roll.

After blocking and cutting outside, you received Paul's pass, regardless of your defense in place, and took a direct shot two steps outside the three-point line...... Hit!

At 107:95, Li Liang has already scored 42 points!

Still resisting?

The Spurs did the exact same thing as the Clippers.

The passer became Parker, and the shot that was picked up after the cover was Dio.

As a result, Dio made a three-point shot, and the ball spun around in the basket and rolled out again.

Luck wasn't on Spurs' side.

This three-pointer didn't go in, and the Spurs' morale has gone downhill and can't be bitten.

Sure enough, when Paul made a mid-range pullup jump shot after a cover in the middle, Popovich called a timeout and began to switch the main players down.

At 109:95, less than three minutes before the end of the game, the Spurs voluntarily gave up and replaced the substitutes, ready to play the next game.

Rivers also knew each other and replaced the main force, of course, before replacing it, he asked Li Liang for advice, can you still fight in garbage time?

"it, you want to ruin my 100% hit rate! I want to rest! ”
