Chapter 955: Stinky Water Ditch
Many coaches, including Cole, have suffered losses by Li Liang before.
This is related to Li Liang's playing style, chasing and fighting, like a fierce wind and fire, deciding the outcome of the game in the shortest time.
But they don't know that the reason why Li Liang is like this is because in the past, his props had a time limit, and if you don't fight like this, you won't be able to play when the time comes.
In the past, Li Liang was Ultraman, and it only took three minutes to get to the earth, and when the time is up, it will be dripping, so it is necessary to fight quickly.
Later, I got used to it, and it became this style.
This style Li Liang was formed passively, and with more efficient props in the back, he also played like this.
Including the current Kings team, once the morale is high in the game, it is really a wave of push away, and it never drags the mud and water.
It's normal for Cole to be afraid of this wave.
But in reality, the Warriors' players are capable of solving problems.
James and Curry are both excellent ball-handling players.
James' control of the pitch is evident in his control of the tempo and his excellent lateral wide passing, which can easily tear apart the opposition's defence.
Curry's control of the court is reflected in his strong ability to get rid of dribbles, and his huge attraction and pulling force on the opponent's defensive formation can tear the opponent's defense apart.
With these two defensive disruptors, Kerr suddenly lost his confidence and appeared too cautious.
After a 20-second timeout, the Warriors did gradually regain their sense on the offensive end.
Curry received a pass from James from the outside and hit two three-pointers in a row.
The score difference was forced to close all of a sudden.
At the same time, Li Liang's middle distance could not be advanced all the way, and he also began to strike iron.
The Warriors closed the score.
When the score difference was chased to 3 points, Li Liang also called a timeout.
Halfway through the third quarter, three timeouts were already called.
Needless to say, the game was fragmented, the tension was very tense, and the intensity was very intense, but for non-veteran fans, or fans of non-teams of both teams, the game was not very good.
That's why the entire NBA trend is moving in the direction of fast, low-confrontation, high-scoring.
However, NBA management may have forgotten that the '90s were the peak of the NBA.
Li Liang didn't have any tactics in the timeout, and the role of his timeout was to make the Warriors' offense cold.
Li Liang admitted that the overall strength of the warriors was above that of the king.
So to beat the Warriors, in addition to playing at a super level yourself, you have to pull the Warriors to the same level, and then beat them with a lot of experience.
The three losses to the Warriors in the regular season were all because the Warriors' offense became smoother and smoother, especially in the fourth quarter, after the Warriors turned on James's low-post - Curry and Thompson's no-ball loaming mode, the Kings couldn't prevent it at all.
Li Liang was going to pull the Warriors into the quagmire and keep them out of the way in the crucial third quarter.
This strategy was undoubtedly effective, and Kerr's overly cautious cooperation led to the Warriors' offense not coming in like a wave as usual in the third quarter, but turning into small splashes of water, occasionally splashing out, but not in the form of waves.
Curry hit three key three-pointers in the third quarter, but James took away some of the ball, and Curry's three-pointer was just nine points, which didn't translate into damage to the Kings' defense.
The Kings were holding on to their feet on the defensive end, constantly using intensity and physical contact to disrupt the Warriors' offensive rhythm.
At the same time, Li Liang quickly adjusted, and did not hesitate to use his anger value and skills, [Cassel's Smile] is used as soon as the CD time comes, and he will do everything he can to score.
Li Liang scored 19 points in the third quarter.
The Kings as a whole scored just 22 points, while the Warriors scored just 17.
At the end of the third quarter, the Kings led the Warriors by five points.
The Warriors felt as if they were back to the year before they played the Pacers.
But the difference between the Kings and the Pacers is that the Kings don't have as strong a defense as the Pacers.
And the Pacers are not as good as the current Kings point - Li Liang is stronger, and the offensive talent of the Kings players is better.
The Warriors started to get a little messy, they didn't play the expected comeback in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, Kerr's rotation went wrong in the first place.
He didn't use big rotations to keep every player fit like he did in the first two rounds or in the first half.
He shortened the rotation, with James and Curry both playing the full third quarter while remaining on the court after the start of the fourth quarter.
Why? Stemming from the fear of Li Liang.
If Li Liang doesn't play, the core of the warriors will not dare to play, especially this kind of connection.
Li Liang's scoring explosiveness in the transition section is very terrifying.
That's what Kerr and other coaches have come up with through extensive video analysis.
In many games, some key transitions, Li Liang broke out in waves, and the situation of the game was completely reversed.
So Cole really didn't dare to change the main force casually.
But the problem is, Li Liang has Gatorade to drink!
Li Liang drank Gatorade after the opening of the fourth quarter, and his physical strength was instantly full and his energy was bursting.
This guy hasn't suffered a major injury in his five-year career, he's in good health like a cow, and he's well raised in the regular season, and even James has to bow down.
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he was full of physical strength, put on [Iron Body], and began to frantically impact the basket, desperately competing for rebounds in the frontcourt.
Li Liang plays extremely energetically, and many times on the court, vitality itself is an advantage.
If I can't make a throw, I grab it and throw it again.
He also spared no effort in defense, a superstar who beat himself into a garbage dog.
For what? It's all about winning.
Li Liang scored consecutive points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, scoring six points in a row and delivering two assists.
On the Warriors' side, James began to recover, shooting inside and out, and also hitting consecutive shots and making fouls.
Curry and Thompson also hit three-pointers, and a wave of attacks narrowed the gap to just one point.
If it were any other team, under Li Liang's all-out blow, the offensive and defensive ends would have collapsed long ago.
Only the Warriors not only withstood it, but also faintly had a tendency to overtake.
In this case, Cole is even more afraid to make substitutions.
The players are starting to fight for internal strength on the field, and if an outsider disturbs them, they may lose all their efforts.
And the king's side is actually about the same, Li Liang himself has been playing on the field, and he doesn't dare to change people casually.
Gordon and Rondo, the two outside defensive gates, didn't dare to switch to rest at all.
Inside, Cousins is already in a semi-abandoned state, and if you go to Cousins, you are likely to be misplaced.
At the same time, it is difficult for Cousins to come back in the offense, and Li Liang is more willing to use West.
The score was 85:84 and the stalemate lasted for two minutes.
The Warriors trailed by one point, but they just couldn't shoot.
Thompson, Curry, and James all made shots from the outside, but none of them went in.
It's still that problem, after the shot was dispersed, everyone's hand didn't get raised.
Feel, especially three-point touch, needs to be cultivated at the beginning of the game.
On the King's side, Gordon missed a three-point shot from the outside, Li Liang desperately grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and immediately three people surrounded him.
Li Liang passes the ball to Rondo.
Rondo passes Gordon again, Gordon throws again!
Gordon's hand is not soft at all, he just can't shoot.
It's not that the ejaculation is not perfect, but that the consumption is too great.
Not to mention Gordon, Thompson and Curry are a little overwhelmed, and their shooting percentages have plummeted.
At this time, Tucker grabbed the rebound in the front court again, passed it again, and this time gave it to Li Liang.
Li Liang takes the ball in the bottom corner of the left side, which is his point.
As soon as Li Liang saw Li Liang holding the ball in this position, the Warriors fans, players, and coaches were desperate.
No matter how many people pounced, it was useless.
Li Liang's three-point shot hit accurately!
It also caused Green's defensive foul and added a free throw!
Score four!
After Green fouled, he fell to the ground for a long time and did not get up.
He's not pretending, he's regretting, why can't he control his hands?
This point in the bottom corner of Li Liang's left side is almost the middle point.
If you accidentally give him a chance to make a shot at this point, don't defend.
Grimm, who was lying down, happened to block Li Liang, and Li Liang raised his foot and collapsed from Green.
It's like stepping over a stinking gutter in front of your house.
