Chapter 624: The Way I Like It

To be honest, Paul basically had no complaints about Li Liang's departure.

Emotionally speaking, Li Liang does not owe Paul anything, and also brings him the most important championship trophy of his career.

It can be said that last year's championship made Paul's career without regrets.

All that's left for him is to create higher achievements and try to win an MVP or a Finals MVP.

Even if he can't get it, he will retire with his current achievements, and he will leave a name in history and have no regrets.

In terms of interests, after Li Liang left, Paul became the boss of the Clippers again.

When Paul fulfills this contract, he can sign a super big contract with the Clippers later.

If Li Liang is here, limited by the salary cap, it is difficult to say whether Paul can get the top salary.

So, how could Paul blame Li Liang?

But as soon as Li Liang said that he wanted to "remember himself", Paul was a little unbearable.

Lao Tzu is not dead, do you need to commemorate it?

Paul couldn't help but think of Li Liang's domination of the Clippers when he was with the Lakers.

He was still a rookie and a kid at the time.

Now he's a kid, but he's an eight-year-old.

And after working with Li Liang for a year on the Clippers, Paul knew how terrible Li Liang was.

Anyway, he felt that Li Liang was an even more terrifying existence than James.

Sure enough, before the evening game, Li Liang was full of fists.

He's got a knack for dealing with the Clippers.

Every time he plays the Clippers, Li Liang will turn on the "stealing chickens and touching dogs" mode.

Why? Because your Clippers' forward line can't do it.

There are no players in the No. 3 position who can limit Li Liang at all.

Barnes?

Forget it, Barnes saw that Li Liang was basically in a state of semi-abandonment.

He still wants to get less trash talk, but he can't prevent it anyway.

In the summer, the Clippers signed Turkoglu in order to make up for the loss of Li Liang's departure.

The Clippers have become the No. 3 scrap star acquisition station again, and the results are not satisfactory.

Li Liang scored 10 points and 7 rebounds in the first quarter, including 4 frontcourt rebounds!

Little Jordan was robbed, what's going on?

Oh, Bruce Lee is a Pacers player, forget about it.

Of course, the Clippers, led by Paul, played hard with the Pacers in the first quarter.

After struggling until the third quarter, Li Liang began to exert his strength - he moved to the No. 4 position and began to attack the Clippers' basket in a row.

Griffin began to defend Li Liang, and then he couldn't defend at all.

Your little short arm can interfere with Li Liang's pull-up jump shot?

Li Liang is simply possessed by Bob McAdoo, constantly scoring points on the inside.

He is one of the strongest three-pointers in history, and he keeps scoring points on the inside, so where does the Clippers' twin towers go?

In fact, I have no face for a long time, and you have never entered the West before I came.

In the entire third quarter, Li Liang scored 23 points, another explosive offense.

After much deliberation, Rivers decided not to wrap it up, because JR-Smith and Granger were eyeing it outside.

Rivers doesn't want the Pacers to bloom more.

So, Li Liang will bloom alone.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Li Liang was already fully in the groove.

When the inside line penetrated the Clippers and the Clippers' defense line contracted very tightly, Li Liang used McGee's cover to shoot continuously outside the three-point line!

Li Liang, whose three-point shooting ability value soared to 80 points, made his outside three-point shooting more domineering and accurate than his past shots.

It was another series of accurate hits, and Li Liang raised his score to 48 points halfway through the fourth quarter!

At this time, the Clippers are already 11 points behind the Pacers, which is actually not a big difference.

The strength of the Clippers is still very strong, and in this case, Rivers finally decided to trap Li Liang.

Li Liang can't be allowed to vote like this anymore, so it's better to bet that Smith, Granger or Stephenson can't make it.

The Clippers' bag clamps really had a certain effect, and they used all the bag clips in advance.

As soon as Li Liang received the ball, he directly grabbed and surrounded him, not giving Li Liang a chance to start.

Li Liang gave the ball to Granger and Smith on the perimeter, and both missed two shots.

Paul seized the opportunity and hit two mid-range jumpers to help the Clippers close the deficit to within 10 points.

Bird immediately called a timeout as well, and he had to deal with the Clippers' up-and-go bag on Li Liang.

Bird replaced McGee and used a five-man lineup, with all five players on the court capable of attacking with the ball.

This time, the five-small lineup really showed his great power.

Leon, Granger, Sloan, Smith plus Stephenson.

Although the interior suffered a loss, the Clippers' package completely lost its effect, and the Pacers' offensive space was completely opened.

Smith received a pass from Li Liang and scored a layup.

Stephenson received Li Liang's pass and cut into the basket, Jordan Jr. came over to help defend, Stephenson made a beautiful return pass to Li Liang who followed up in the middle, Li Liang received the ball and dunked with both hands!

This smooth little coordination caught the Clippers off guard.

Once Stephenson gets his senses, he can put in a good performance.

Of course, if you don't feel like it, you'll be super ghostly.

Time was getting shorter and shorter, and the Clippers were still trying to catch up with Paul.

But when you can't stop the Pacers' offense on the defensive end, all the efforts on the offensive end are in vain.

When Li Liang hit a three-pointer in the attack, followed by a steal from Griffin, and another three-pointer on the counterattack, Rivers knew that the game was over and there was no point in struggling.

The person who was once the strongest is already in the opposing team.

At this time, Li Liang had already scored 56 points.

Rivers called a timeout, replaced the main players, and the game went into garbage time.

Li Liang should also be out of the game, he looked at his score, it was only 56, a little unwilling.

"Larry, do I want to fight a little longer?"

"Can you make a face?"

When Bird heard Li Liang's request, he refused without hesitation.

Your old club has already replaced the main team and put on the garbage players.

What do you mean, you still have to fight? Blatantly brushing points? Are you a garbage player?

In your rookie season, you can still say that you want to work out, and now that you're an MVP, what else are you going to work out?

Bird thought to himself, you don't have a face, I still have a face, I still have a face.

Therefore, Bird firmly rejected Li Liang's request to stay on the court this time, and pressed him to the bench until the end of the game.

For this result, Li Liang could only silently say sorry to Paul in his heart.

……

Li Liang scored another 50 points to help the Pacers beat the visiting Los Angeles Clippers at home.

This means that the Pacers as a whole are starting to recover.

Next, the Pacers flew to Toronto to take on the Raptors on the road.

To tell the truth, after Li Liang came to the east, he always played the eastern team, and felt that the overall strength of the eastern army was indeed much worse than that of the western region.

It seems that every team doesn't seem to be very difficult to play, and there are no particularly difficult bones to gnaw.

Li Liang has now completely let go of his hands and feet, what is the core or not, I want to score when I play!

Sometimes, in the regular season, you should play a little more casually.

The schedule is so intensive, and the opponents in the game change every two days, all of which are encounters, that is, follow the process.

Whoever has a strong process and a good presence will have an advantage and be more able to win.

Like the three fools, the more you care about them and want to change them, the more you will find that they are responsive.

If you don't care, don't think about it, and then look at them, and you will find "Hey, they're still playing pretty well!" ”

After implementing this kind of thinking, Li Liang played more freely, and if he wanted to shoot a three-point shot, he would shoot it, anyway, I would be accurate.

Li Liang is really accurate, and the blocking and covering cooperation between him and McGee is well practiced.

The Raptors simply couldn't parry Li Liang's three-point shot, another three-quarter game.

Li Liang used three quarters and powerful three-point firepower to score 37 points and put the game into garbage time.

When it was garbage time, Li Liang still wanted to go on, but Bird didn't give it.

"Larry, don't you want me to be the scoring champion?"

"No, I don't want you to win the scoring title this way?"

"Which?"

"I don't like the way."

Gotcha, you're awesome, I win the scoring title depends on whether you like it or not.
