If you were to rate a player's performance, how would you rate the Mavericks' player? ”

'Well, they played really well, they had the dominance and the initiative on the pitch at one point, and we had a chance to win the game...... Belch...... I would give them a 9. ”

"So what do you think of the performance of the Clippers players?"

"The Clippers, phew, they're the strongest team of the year, they've been really good, they've got a lot of adjustments, huh...... I ......"

In the playoffs, after each game, there is a regular press conference attended by the coach or the players on the team to answer questions from reporters.

It's a necessary part of every game in the playoffs and a mental punishment for the losing team.

The only person interviewed on behalf of the Mavericks is their head coach Rick Carlisle.

The reporter's question was blunt and asked him to evaluate the performance of both teams.

Carlisle's answer was a bit hollow, and he was still in a bit of a trance after the match.

Because he couldn't believe that he had lost the game like that, and with five minutes to go, he felt that the Mavericks had a good chance of winning this game, or at least should fight it until overtime.

He is still quite confident in the strength of this lone ranger.

Although they are eighth in the West, their core players are aging, and although they have no hope of winning the championship, the Dallas people are in great form this year.

In fact, the competition in the West is fierce, and the Mavericks' eighth place is not so much a lack of strength, but rather an 82-game regular-season schedule that is too unfriendly to the veterans.

Once in the playoffs, the Mavericks are definitely not the bottom two of all 16 teams.

Even as far as the West is concerned, in terms of playoff lineup, experience, and play, the Mavericks are better than the Rockets next door.

The Mavericks' performance in this game was really good, stabilizing the situation after falling behind in the first half, and chasing back little by little.

By the fourth quarter, the momentum of the whole game had come to the Mavericks.

As long as they push harder and get through that, they can walk away with a win at home.

However, when Li Liang appeared on the stage in 5 minutes and 45 seconds, everything changed.

Three points, three points again.

Carlisle didn't understand why Li Liang could always easily shoot three-point shots at critical times.

Judging from the whole game, Li Liang's three-point shots are not always so accurate, and he will miss consecutive shots, and he will also hit 1 in XX.

But when it comes to the key time, when it comes to the critical period that determines the outcome of the game, Li Liang seems to have a switch on his body, and as soon as he clicks on, the three-point shot will be brushed in.

In one minute and thirty seconds, three three-pointers in a row, the Mavericks' momentum was captured.

Carlisle called a timeout, and his heart was filled with resentment.

He wanted to pull Li Liang off the field and ask how this guy did it, are you a robot?

All the preparations that Carlisle made before the game were in vain, because when there is a guy on the opposite side who can hit a three-pointer like that, a lot of the set-ups you do are in vain, completely in vain.

The dominant Clippers didn't give the Mavericks another chance.

After returning from the timeout, Li Liang began to reap the game with his scimitar.

Like a good butcher, he knows how to use the rhythm and force to bled and disembowel, so that they die on the slaughterhouse with the least pain and struggle.

Paul, as Li Liang's assistant, is an excellent match with him.

Li Liang showed his eerie smile again, hitting a difficult pull-up jump shot on the flank.

He and Paul, one tall and the other side, snuffed out the Mavericks' hopes of victory with jump shots.

In retrospect, Carlisle still has a deep sense of helplessness.

The 11-year-old Heat have had this kind of performance.

In the Eastern Conference Finals that year, Wade and James relied purely on their individual abilities to erase the Bulls' lead by more than a dozen points in a matter of minutes, and then take away the game and then the series.

But in the finals, Carlisle still thought of a way to subdue James.

How can you face Li Liang and have no tricks at all?

Carlisle commented on Li Liang from the perspective of a veteran coach, saying that this player is a typical "exquisite basketball triumphist." ”

If you want to say that his skills are comprehensive, to be honest, his skills are really quite monotonous, and they have nothing to do with being good-looking and gorgeous.

But he mastered several of the most useful and efficient skills of the moment, such as free throws, three-pointers, and his original pull-up jump shot with a block under the basket.

Or his defense, extremely cunning, but not passionate, but as precise and cold-blooded as a machine.

Everything he has is for scoring, for winning, and there are other things that basketball contains, which he can't see in him — or maybe he doesn't want to show it.

Because in the All-Star Game, his various skills are so dazzling.

So, Carlisle was in a trance, what kind of person is this?

"Do you think Bruce Lee's performance will win the regular season MVP?"

An eyeless reporter asked such a boring question, can Li Liang take the MVP and coach the Mavericks?

Carlisle licked his lips, then pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and said, "Bruce is a very unique player, and I think he will be decisive for the change in the league and basketball, probably like George McCann, Wilt Chamberlain, and even Michael Jordan back then. He is changing the face of the basketball court, influencing basketball tactics, thinking, and the judgment of a player's ability. The impact is still preliminary and hasn't really been felt, but I'm sure you'll see it. ”

The reporter originally asked a boring question about the MVP, because the topic of who should win the regular season MVP between Li Liang and James is still very hot.

Although Li Liang's 70-win MVP is almost a certainty, Heat James' performance is still very good.

In any other season, including the season in which James won the MVP himself, there is a chance to compete for the Most Valuable Player.

But as soon as Carlisle opened his mouth, he was no longer simply praising Li Liang, but praised Li Liang to a certain height.

How tall? As tall as the superstars in history who have had a huge impact.

The reporters were a little surprised, but Carlisle's words were heartfelt.

Because he really feels that Li Liang has a special energy in him, an energy that can change the NBA and the basketball world.

……

Another person who sensed that Li Liang had this energy was Mike Brown.

After the third game, Li Liang left the press room with Rivers after the interview, and Mike Brown was already waiting outside the door.

Brown is now Li Liang's follower, and he can't wait to take a small notebook and put it by his side, and he has to record everything Li Liang says.

After playing three games in the playoffs, Mike Brown obviously felt that Li Liang, this kid, still had a hidden hand in the regular season!

This kid is capable, a sophomore, he will hide at the beginning of the regular season, and he will play at full strength in the playoffs.

Damn, have you been in the league for ten years?

Play dead in the regular season and make a big splash in the playoffs.

The key is that he didn't play dead much in the regular season, can he win the MVP by pretending to be dead?

In the past, Mike Brown thought that a player like James was a once-in-a-decade encounter, a true chosen one, and would never be met again.

But he met Li Liang, James is the chosen son, what is Li Liang?

The Chosen Father?

In tonight's game, Li Liang made 4 of 5 three-point shots, 2 of 2 two-point shots, and 4 free throws in the last five minutes, scoring 20 points alone and scoring 36 points in the whole game.

It's not unusual for a player to have such a performance once, but in a series to perform like this, it feels like the opponent is like mud in his hands, and it's different.

Mike Brown still thinks, is Li Liang so strong?

Could it be that through his own training, he is already so powerful?

Yes, it's your training again, it's all your credit.

On the way back to the hotel, Brown seemed a little excited, and kept exchanging his experience with Li Liang about the game and training.

Li Liang responded without a match, thinking, if Lao Tzu didn't have a system, do you think it would be so powerful?

At present, Li Liang feels that he has only developed sixty percent of his ability, and he is still far from his upper limit.

As soon as this game is over, there will be no suspense in the series between the Clippers and the Mavericks.

A day later, the fourth battle between the two sides became a battle of honor for the Lone Ranger.

The Lone Ranger adheres to the principle that as long as it is not too humiliating, I will not resist desperately.

The first quarter was soaring, the second quarter gradually weakened, the third quarter was barely supported, the fourth quarter was not enough, and finally lost the fourth game at home 104:110, a 6-point disadvantage, and was eliminated by the Clippers with a score of 0:4.

The Clippers also became the first team to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

In the Western Conference semifinals, their opponents will be the winner of the Trail Blazers and Rockets.

At present, the Trail Blazers have unexpectedly led the Rockets by a large score of 3-1, and the fifth game will be played in Portland.

Therefore, the opponent of the Clippers in the second round is already ready to come out.
