Chapter 950: Great Anticipation

The Kings shocked everyone with the fighting power they showed in the playoffs.

How can it be so strong?

How can a team with 57 wins in the regular season be so vigorous in the playoffs?

In the six playoff games, the Kings' three-point shooting percentage, rebounding percentage, and steal count, suppressed opponents' shooting percentage, which has improved to a higher level than the regular season.

Gordon, Tucker, and Guy all played better than in the regular season.

Rondo had more assists than he did in the regular season.

Only Cousins, who was a little worse than the regular season.

Not to mention Li Liang, let people see what Ji Houliang is.

After the second game, in post-game news interviews, the Kings players said that they were in great shape in the playoffs.

"Coach Bruce Lee gave us plenty of rest in the second half of the season and we were in great shape."

"It's been fantastic, we had some ups and downs in the regular season, but the playoffs are different, the playoffs are our stage."

"It's one of my best seasons in recent seasons, and we're a team with the Kings, and we don't have any distractions, we just want to focus on winning."

'I feel like my defense has improved, I'm not nervous anymore and we're playing really well.

In short, the Kings' players praised the head coach in various ways, just to show how powerful Li Liang is.

Li Liang thought to himself, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's coaching mode in the [Achievement System], giving you runes for each position, would you have been able to perform so well?

After this season, Li Liang has also understood it as the head coach.

What tactical system, what on-the-spot command, TM is not as good as the system.

After achieving a certain achievement, the various bonus runes sent by the system will have a very obvious effect once they reach LV3.

Whoever needs to score three points well tonight, give him a feel rune, and whoever needs to defend hard, give this position a defensive focus, which is much more useful than talking on the sidelines and arranging before the game.

And the Kings' opponent, the Spurs, came to the edge of the cliff.

Seeing that it was about to be swept away, in the third game, coming to the center of Gold One, the Spurs finally broke out.

The whole team played a super high shooting rate, and Murray still started the game, and his teammates limited Li Liang.

Booker and Wiggins combined for 58 points, narrowly beating the Kings by 2 points at 97-95 on the road to avoid being swept away.

In this game, Li Liang was reluctant to use his lucky hand, and at the last moment he used [Roddinger's dice], but his face was black, and he threw himself into the black four, and the result was black.

On the other court, the Warriors have won two consecutive games in Oakland, and the Lakers don't even know their mother.

James didn't show any affection for his old brother Wade.

In both games, they were won by more than 15 points, and they did not give the Lakers the slightest chance.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of the Warriors, there are only Kings and Li Liang, and no one else on other teams.

Look at the heroes of the world, only I am the second team.

The Kings didn't leave much suspense for the series either.

On May 4, the fourth game between the Kings and the Spurs, the two sides fought extremely fiercely.

In the first half, Spurs took the lead again, giving fans hope that Spurs would turn the tables around.

The third quarter was still a tough one, and the Spurs seemed to be slowly finding a way to crack the Kings' tactics.

As a result, in the fourth quarter, the king's death five small debuts, a wave of 11:0, the situation reversed.

Once led by the Kings, it will be difficult for the Spurs to turn around.

Li Liang turned on the "Kobe mode" and began to abuse the Spurs in the middle, so that the Spurs' hope of chasing points was dashed little by little.

In the end, at 105:97, the King won the fourth game and successfully got the match point of the series.

In Li Liang's career, in the first two rounds of the series, he was able to solve an opponent in five games, which is the greatest respect for you.

In the fifth game, the Spurs returned to San Antonio and still wanted to struggle.

As a result, Li Liang, who came to the away side, didn't give you a chance to struggle at all.

It is not a loss to a man with an away advantage, and in the face of the defensive trap prepared for him by Popovich, Li Liang greeted the man.

If you don't let me shoot a three-pointer, then I'll shoot the basket.

Li Liangkar Malone's general body is not practiced in vain, he is as strong as a cow, he kills in and out, makes fouls under the basket, pulls up jump shots, and makes difficult layups.

Li Liang's speed is still not fast, and the impact is not as good as James, but this person has all kinds of ways to get the ball into the basket.

Seeing this kind of performance by Li Liang on the court, Popovich must have missed Tim Duncan very much.

In fact, even if Duncan comes back, he may not be able to deal with Li Liang.

Li Liang's breakthrough stop-and-go jump shot is the only one in the scorpion's tail.

He was on a mission by himself, and he practiced this trick until it was unguardable, which was his real killer weapon.

It's hard for anyone to come.

In this game, Li Liang scored 42 points and handed out 10 assists, which can be said to have single-handedly broken down the Spurs' defense.

With such an offense, it is no longer very important what the Kings' defense looks like.

Mike Brown feels like a failure, and after a season of tuning his defense, why can't he use it well in the playoffs?

He was also going to consult the inventor of "swarm defense", and he asked people to the Kings to guide the training, and the effect was still very good.

The ability to abuse vegetables has been further improved.

But the effect against the top teams is still mediocre.

As a result, Mike Brown had to revert to one-on-one defense and clean up the team.

As a result, in the playoffs, it felt like the Kings didn't defend very hard, and the opponent surrendered under the three-point rain.

The Kings' offense in the playoffs seems to have crossed a level and reached a new level all at once.

In fact, the key is that Li Liang used all his strength.

He unleashed the energy he had accumulated in the regular season without reservation.

Of course, he was just trying his hand in the first two rounds, and the real challenge was in the Western Conference Finals.

It's the ultimate matchup that has been waiting for a whole season.

is the final dialogue between the Avengers and Thanos.

The Lakers simply had no resistance in the face of the vengeful Warriors.

After returning to Stamps, the Warriors were still devastated, scoring more than 120 points in two consecutive games, both of which defeated the Lakers in the third quarter, without giving the Los Angeles people any suspense and possibility of winning the game.

So, Kings vs Warriors, the long-awaited Western Conference Finals is about to begin.

Of course, such a matchup is good-looking, but the NBA official is still worried, Xiao Hua's head, which has no hair, has become even bare.

With everyone expecting the Warriors vs. Kings, the ratings for the first two rounds plummeted.

Especially in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the scene was full, but the ratings of TV and network were not optimistic.

In the west, all kinds of 4:0 and 4:1 led to the early end of the series, and the tickets were not sold well.

The league also wanted to blow the whistle and extend the series a little, but the Kings and Warriors were so firepower that you couldn't balance the whistle.

Cousins was in the fifth game, and the referee blew four early offenses to break the break, but West came off the bench and played better than Cousins, where do you go to reason?

The tickets are not selling well, the ratings are not high, and it all points to the Mars collision with the earth between the king and the warriors.

The days of the NBA are getting worse and harder.
