After Li Liang's three-point ability in the vacancy rose to 99, he did a comparative experiment during training to see if there was any difference between him and 90.

After throwing a few hundred more shots, Li Liang felt the difference - he became extremely stable.

This kind of stability does not come from the hand, because after years of training and competition, ability value bonus, rune bonus, Li Liang's hand shape has been very, very stable.

Hitting twenty or thirty open three-pointers in one go would be a piece of cake for him.

That consistency comes from his mentality, his mentality when he shoots threes.

Li Liang had felt this mentality before, and that was when he participated in the three-point contest and entered the realm of selflessness.

This kind of realm is difficult to achieve, and when the three-point ability value of the empty position reaches 99, Li Liang finds that he can easily enter the realm of selflessness.

All that is left of his world is the hand, the ball, and the basket.

The opponent, the referee, the spectator, all non-existent.

Shooting has become a game of pure self and the basket, fighting against the earth's gravity and the laws of physics, and has nothing to do with other people.

On the evening of April 30, Li Liang began his performance in San Antonio.

This year's playoffs are different from last year's Thunder, and Li Liang is not ready to stay at all.

After a season of running-in, Li Liang knows what his group of people looks like.

Smoke it up, really no one is afraid.

Iron up, even Li Liang is afraid.

Therefore, in the playoffs, Li Liang, as the head coach, personally went into battle to give the players a sample.

This was the case in the first game of the first round, and he wanted to bring out the confidence of his teammates and let the players start the game in a relatively relaxed state, so that the Kings players could play better.

So, in the first game in San Antonio, in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs, who had no outside defensive gate, were pierced by Li Liang's three-point shot and pull-up jump shot.

Li Liang's offensive choice after the opening was very simple, holding the ball and blocking and dismantling.

He hit two three-pointers in a row from the front, then began to stab the basket and hit consecutive pull-up jump shots.

Li Liang's close-range pull-up jump shot has been practiced perfectly, at 45 degrees on both wings, and he is playing the board with his eyes closed.

He doesn't have to look at the basket, he just aims for the rebound, and the shot point is so high that he can't block it at all.

Gasol and Aldridge were not strong in the first place, so they could only rely on long-arm interference, but as a result, seeing Li Liang hit continuously, there was no way.

In the first quarter, Li Liang scored 20 points, and the Kings led by 7 points at 37:30.

The Spurs' offense is also playing well, but Li Liang really can't defend against it.

Li Liang is not ready to play any strategy or tactics with Popovich in the series.

Judging from historical experience, the way to deal with Popovich is very simple, one force will drop ten.

Li Liang, who has not used his full strength except for the Olympics, finally made the people of San Antonio feel the fear of being dominated by Bruce Lee.

In the second quarter, Li Liang made 4 of 7 three-pointers, scored 15 points, and scored 35 points in the half, so that the Spurs didn't know how to defend it.

In the third quarter, Li Liang continued to be unrelenting, and made crazy three-point shots on the outside - Li Liang This is the Olympic style of play.

Almost half of the Kings' shots were contracted by Li Liang.

In the third quarter, he made 3 of 5 three-pointers and led the Kings to a 15-0 offensive wave.

The Spurs had been struggling to catch up, taking advantage of the low post advantage of Ade and Gasol to score points.

As a result, in the face of Li Liang's tide-like and defenseless attack, he finally couldn't keep up and was exhausted.

Li Liang scored 54 points in the third quarter, turning the fourth quarter directly into garbage time.

It was only at this time that the Kings players felt for the first time what it was like to play with Li Liang, who was going all out.

Easy, really too easy.

The body is relaxed, the mind is more relaxed.

You don't have to do anything else, you just stand in the corner and wait for the pass in the attack, defend seriously, and then it's nothing.

The Spurs simply couldn't come up with an effective defense to deal with Li Liang's indiscriminate offense.

Holding the ball on the outside, throwing three points directly after a block and dismantling, or throwing without a block and dismantling level, this style of play is really quite shameless.

The small man couldn't defend the outside, but the big man came out, and Li Liang broke through the basket.

Bag clip, two people bag clip is equal to no, to three people bag clip.

Popovich especially misses Leonard at this time.

Although it is difficult for Leonard to restrain Li Liang one-on-one, it will not make Li Liang play like this.

Wiggins went to defend Li Liang for nothing.

Li Liang's body is as strong as Ma Long, his three points are as accurate as Thompson's, and he has a height advantage, which can be said to be the peak configuration of "one shot and four grabs".

Durant may have better scoring skills and reach, but in terms of scoring consistency and anti-interference, he is really inferior to Li Liang.

In fact, from the time of the Olympic Games, many American experts, such as Li Liang's fan Van Gundy, have seen that Li Liang's ability to digest the ball may have reached the peak of NBA history.

Ability is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it depends on Li Liang's style of play, which has been the current trend and trend of the NBA.

If Li Liang was in the NBA in the 90s, he would definitely have changed in terms of playing style training, and it would not be what it is today.

The way he is today, honed according to the NBA's trendy rules, is certainly the most efficient.

Van Gundy predicted at the start of the season that Bruce Lee was likely to average more than 35 points per game in the new season.

As a result, Van Gundy was slapped in the face, and Li Liang didn't even break 30 points.

In fact, Van Gundy was not wrong when he said that Li Liang did not break 35 only because he didn't want to, not because he couldn't.

In the playoffs, in the first round against the Clippers, Li Liang broke 40 points in two games, which was easy.

In the first game against the Spurs, it was another 3rd quarter of 50 points, and it was easy again.

In the end, the Kings were 127:110, with a 17-point advantage in San Antonio taking away a victory.

Li Liang, who was full of firepower, did not give the Spurs any chance.

Popovich's series of preparations before the game, in the case of insufficient hardware conditions, were all in vain.

There is no gate outside, no Duncan inside, and the Spurs are just a regular season team today.

Encounters can be fought with fluid offense, but when it comes to the series of tough battles, it is weak.

On the other court, the Thunder and Lakers also had a result.

The Lakers, who have Wade and Leonard, still used the power of their home court to defeat the Thunder by 5 points in Stamp and successfully reached the Western Conference semifinals.

In this way, three of the four teams in the Western Conference semifinals are from California.

The West has turned into a California Civil War, and the only one left to resist is the Texas Spurs.

And this flag of Texas, a day later, fell again.

The second game between the Spurs and Kings continues in San Antonio.

In this game, Spurs learned the lessons of the previous game and changed their defensive strategy.

First, Popovich switched to rookie Murray as a starter in place of the aging Parker.

The energetic Mori was asked to keep an eye on Li Liang during the game!

Of course, he only leads the harassment, and never jumps in defense, only defends closely, just to prevent Li Liang's three points.

Then, in the middle distance and three-second area, the Spurs made up for the defense heavily to prevent Li Liang's breakthrough.

This trick did work, and Li Liang couldn't throw three points like crazy in the first game.

But this move also has side effects, the bottom corner and flank vacancy are completely opened.

The Kings didn't shoot three-point shooting well in the first half, which led to the Spurs taking the lead.

At halftime, Li Liang told everyone, "Hit that damn three-pointer and we'll win!" ”

In the second half, Tucker and Gordon exploded and hit consecutive three-pointers.

The Spurs are betting that the Kings won't be able to shoot three-pointers.

As a result, a wave of three points, tied the score.

Another wave of three-pointers, overtaking, Spurs despaired.

I can't beat it!

The inside twin towers of Ade and Gasol are soft and slow in front of the Kings, slow in offense and soft in defense, and look unusually chicken.

If it had been 5 years earlier, it would have been a very powerful pair.

Now, they have been left behind by the tide of the times.

At 101:95, the Kings scored another game in San Antonio, winning both away games.

The Western Decisive is already in sight.
