Chapter 607: Finally Shot

In the second half of the second quarter, Li Liang entered an unprecedentedly unparalleled mode.

He scored 27 points on 10-of-12 shooting throughout the first half to give the Pacers an 11-point lead in the first half.

At 57:46, the Celts crumbled under the onslaught of Li Liang.

If it weren't for the Pacers' outside shooting percentage, the Pacers would have had a greater advantage if they hit two three-pointers combined.

At halftime, Li Liang angrily scolded in the locker room.

"Can you throw the ball in! Can! You know how tired I am on the inside? Anyway, I need to grab another frontcourt rebound! ”

After the Celtics fought, they had already begun to trap Li Liang.

Li Liang passed the ball out to the outside several times, but there was a big vacancy, and he couldn't shoot a single one.

The locker room was silently roared by Li Liang.

Even Bird didn't dare to speak.

Why, Li Liang drove the hair dryer.

This hair dryer is Bob Knight's, and the old Knight scolded Bird for dropping out of Indiana University back then, so it's strange that he dares to speak.

In the end, it was Mike Brown who opened his mouth, after all, he was scolded a lot and had resistance.

Li Liang calmed down and found that after putting on the [Iron Body], his strength became stronger, but his temper seemed to have grown.

"It doesn't make sense, does this thing have side effects? I'm such an elegant person...... Don't wear it in the second half. ”

Li Liang thought that he could change his style of play in the second half, and it was really tiring to chisel on the inside.

Wearing the prop of [Body of Steel], Li Liang's strength has increased, but his endurance has not changed.

His physical exertion was clearly increasing, and his instability just now led to a missed free throw.

So Li Liang decided not to wear it in the second half, even if he played the center, he would not squeeze inside.

In the second half, Celtic steadied themselves and began to counter-attack.

But whenever the Celtics were close to the score, Li Liang used his attack to make them go to nothing.

By mid-to-late third quarter, the Pacers were once again making a small lineup.

This time Li Liang is no longer polite to the Celtics, although the Boston fans like me very much, but sorry, I am a Pacers.

[Three-point shooting rate improvement post] was sacrificed, four consecutive three-pointers from the outside, two positional offenses, and two direct shots in counterattacks, knocking the Celtics through in one fell swoop!

Bruce Lee's "sudden death" method is back in the world.

Stevens really had no choice, and it was easy to reformulate a plan to deal with Li Liang's inside play in the midfield, but he changed back!

Changed back? Why don't you chisel the inner line? Why don't you force the basket?

What about the Savage Rush? The inside line has laid a trap for you, you come.

Li Liang didn't want to, so he shot on the outside, took advantage of the space that was fully opened, and began to shoot two steps away from the three-point line, and Stevens was bald.

Not only was he bald, but the Celtics players were also bald, because the Celtics fans at the scene began to cheer for Li Liang!

Who the hell are you?

A surge of attacks allowed the Pacers to extend their lead to more than 15 points.

In fact, in terms of overall strength, the Celtics can compete with the Pacers, who lack troops and major generals, and even slightly out.

But that's the way the NBA game is, when there's a superstar on the opposite side that you can't stop, the game can be one-sided.

The Celtics still tried to organize an effective counterattack in the fourth quarter, but the 15-point gap became an insurmountable mountain.

Because whenever the Celts rise up, Li Liang will come to extinguish the fire.

The Celtics players don't know how to defend against Li Liang at all.

It's messed up, it's all messed up.

Anti-three? Anti-breakout? Anti-insider? Anti-passing?

Even Stevens himself gave up, forget it, whatever.

Rondo also had some skirmishes with Li Liang during the match.

Rondo hopes to rely on this conflict to disrupt Li Liang and bring some changes to the situation on the field.

As a result, the dog who was scolded by Li Liang with a hair dryer was bloody, which was equivalent to taking three chasing hats from James in the fast attack, and then obediently shut up until the game was over.

In the end, the Pacers relied on Li Liang's 42-point performance in a single game, 101:93, and an 8-point advantage to take away a victory at TD North Shore Garden Course.

Li Liang played a dominant performance in this game, and the efficiency was extremely high, so that all the targeted tactics of the Celtics were completely invalid.

After playing Li Liang, I felt that it was a pity, just this kind of performance, in other away games, the anger value was at least one or two thousand.

When I got to Boston, I took thirty or fifty, or from Rondo.

After the interview at the end of the game, a bunch of young fans shouted at Li Liang for autographs.

Forget it, sign it, and give back to the eager care of the parents in your hometown.

On the other hand, Stevens also gave an interview after the game, saying, "Bruce Lee was surprised tonight, very, very surprised, or his career so far has been amazing, and he just let that surprise show again tonight." We tried all sorts of ways to target him and he was very clever and always managed to avoid it and use his quality to lead the team to victory. It's great, but we'll find a way. ”

Stevens has a very high opinion of Li Liang, there is no way, he was convinced.

In fact, Li Liang just used a prop in the first half, and changed the prop in the second half.

As for finding a way, Stevens himself didn't believe it.

With Li Liang's current terrifying progressive situation, if you want to contain him, you can either join him or let him join.

……

After playing against the Celtics, the first week of the new NBA season is over.

Li Liang won the best of the week in the east without any suspense.

The Pacers only lost one game in the absence of major generals, and Li Liang's performance was definitely at the MVP level.

Comparatively speaking, the days of James and the Cleveland Cavaliers next door are not particularly good.

The Cavaliers, who have a big three in the new season, have only a 2-3 record.

James' performance on the court is also not as stable as before, and his light weight seems to have made him lose the powerful crushing ability he used to have, and even his finishing ability under the basket seems to have deteriorated.

So in the selection of the best of the week, James is certainly not Li Liang's opponent.

And Li Liang has never been very interested in the selection of such things as the best of the week.

Lao Tzu's goal is to be the best in history, I don't care about the best MVP of the season, what is the meaning of the best of the week and the best of the month?

After playing the Celtics, the Pacers hosted the Washington Wizards on November 9.

It was another very tough game, which went all the way to extra time.

As a result, in this game, Li Liang wore the suit of [Iron Body], suddenly exerted too much force, fouled excessively, and left the court with six fouls left in 2 minutes of overtime, resulting in a regrettable defeat for the Pacers 99:100, a difference of 1 point.

After that, the Pacers and the Heat, but on November 15, they lost to the Nuggets at home.

One of the shortcomings of the [Body of Steel] suit began to be exposed - that is, it would increase Li Liang's fouls and mistakes, and his shooting was not stable.

McGinnis was originally the king of mistakes in NBA history, and you wore his power suit, can you not have a small problem?

But the big problem for the Pacers is that maybe their interior line can really only rely on Li Liang.

After the start of the new season, Hibbert's overall trend began to collapse from mentality to state.

Not only because of Li Liang's arrival, which inexplicably squeezed out his playing time, but also because of the change of rules, which prevented him from exerting his power on the defensive end, and the fact that the entire Pacers began to marginalize him tactically and strategically.

But don't blame the Pacers, you are a big center, often 0 points and 1 board a game, can you be the core?

Hibbert's deal is already on the agenda, and it's just a matter of waiting for the right moment.

On Sunday, November 16, the Pacers defeated the Chicago Bulls by 105:91 at home, with a 14-point advantage, Li Liang scored 48 points in a single game, setting a new scoring record after coming to the Pacers.

On Monday, November 17, Bird finally made his move.

Larry Bird doesn't make a move, and when he does, it's a big deal.

After trading Paul George for Li Liang in the offseason, Bird made three consecutive moves to put the Pacers in the spotlight of the league once again.
