Chapter 460: What Can't Be Done

All of a sudden, the race was in a heated phase.

For non-Spurs fans, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

For Spurs fans, it's time to prepare a quick-acting pill or prepare a meal for the whole village.

The audience, who was originally drowsy in front of the TV, suddenly came to their senses again.

Those Clippers fans who have turned off the video and don't want to watch the TV anymore have reopened the live window at the call of die-hard fans.

The commentators of the TV station cheered up one by one, and the previous game was so boring that the commentators and guests kept talking about some and some of the none, and now, in the last four minutes, some played and some talked.

Jeff Van Gundy, as a well-known commentator who understands the ball, is about to be beaten into a die-hard fan by Li Liang after a season and a half.

This game is also commented by him.

By the time of the third quarter, he was almost on the verge of losing his powder.

Because Li Liang's game exposed his flaws to the greatest extent.

"There's no way he's going to play without his superstar teammates, and he hasn't really proven himself yet!"

This is what Van Gundy said about Li Liang after watching most of the first three quarters.

This assessment is honestly fair, and if Van Gundy is serious about criticizing a player or team, it means that he cares about you.

In Jeff's words, "Bruce Lee has two very different basketball temperaments, his appearance, his style of play, not only unprecedented, we know that any superstar is unique, and I think his appearance is absolutely disruptive, completely subversive." ”

But after praising these words, seeing Li Liang's performance without Paul and Griffin, he loved him deeply and gave severe criticism.

This will be a very minus evaluation for Li Liang, who has risen to second in the MVP selection.

Because ahead of him is LeBron James.

Regardless of his controversial decision, no matter how he lost to the Lakers last season, at least when he was with the Cavaliers, he led a group of players with mediocre talent to achieve that kind of result, and the MVP was well deserved.

James' teammates don't have players of the caliber of Paul and Kobe, not even players of Griffin's calibre.

As a result, Paul and Griffin were injured this time, and the Clippers' tactical launch completely relied on Li Liang, so they were killed by 30 points.

Including on ins and forums, the game has not yet been played, and some fans began to eagerly post questions: Whether Li Liang's ability to lead the team should be questioned.

The so-called greater the ability, the more sunspots, and Li Liang cannot escape this law.

Even if he is extremely popular in the United States and China, it is still inevitable that someone will want to be black.

After all, the bird is big, and there are all kinds of sunspots.

For a while, various arguments such as "Li Liang hugging his thighs", "thigh kings", and "can't play without super defenders" began to appear.

Then, all of this gradually reversed as Li Liang led the Clippers in a frantic pursuit of points at the end of the third quarter and the fourth quarter.

Of course, it hasn't been completely reversed yet.

After the difference became 11 points, the Spurs relied on a smooth positional offensive cooperation to seize the hole in the Clippers' interior line, and Leonard broke through to make a layup and caused Li Liang to foul and make free throws.

However, at the critical moment, Leonard hit one of two free throws, and the difference only became 12 points.

Li Liang knew that they needed three-pointers at this time.

Li Liang thought about it carefully, and if he saved the three-point shooting rate for the last moment, it might be consumed by a fragmented timeout.

So, to use it, now!

"Bruce Lee dribbled across half court alone, a screen...... Oh, straight three-point shot! ”

Jeff Van Gundy rarely does py-by-py commentary when commentating on the game, he is a guest and is in charge of tactical analysis.

But at this time, the Clippers' ball no longer needed any tactical analysis, and Li Liang began to pick up three points!

The moment you shoot, use [Three-point Shooting Rate Enhancement Sticker (A)] to increase the three-point shooting rate by 10% within three minutes!

Li Liang forced a shot against the defense on the outside, but the ball did not hit.

Because strong throwing is not his strong point, even if he uses props, not every ball can be thrown.

Li Liangxin said that it was not good, and he felt a little stiff when he shot, thinking that he could rely on props to put the ball in, but it didn't.

But the ball went far and Barnes was lucky enough to snatch it back in the middle.

The Clippers escaped, and Barnes returned the ball to Leung.

Li Liang did not stop the ball and immediately passed the ball to Crawford.

At times like this, having Crawford as a point of possession is really helpful.

Crawford withstood the pressure and used a series of dribbles to shake off Danny Green and hit a mid-range jumper.

99:109, 10 min.

It was the first time since the second quarter that the Clippers had narrowed the margin to 10 points.

Again, the focus is on defense.

"The Clippers' defense, they have to play good defense. Bruce Lee is the heart of the team's defense on the pitch and he has to do what he has to do...... Steal! ”

Van Gundy's voice suddenly raised in tone, and his commentary had been very low and steady, and he couldn't do anything at this point.

Li Liang used [Death Entanglement] to break the ball from Tony Parker's hand!

Li Liang is really difficult, and he has to defend Duncan and Parker.

After the ball was successfully broken, Li Liang smashed the basket with a dragon, and he could feel Leonard chasing after him from behind.

crossed the three-point line, Li Liang did not waste three points.

He knew that he didn't feel very good tonight, and he wasn't completely sure even if he used props.

Entering the three-second zone, Li Liang slowed down, while Leonard was also adjusting his pace.

This is a game between the two, a duel, and Leonard is confident that he will cover Li Liang's ball from behind, because he knows that Li Liang will make a quick stop jump shot.

Then just when Leonard thought that Li Liang was going to stop urgently, he suddenly raised his leg to accelerate, then kicked the ground with one foot, jumped, and won a quick dunk with one hand!

Leonard was fooled!

"Slam dunk! Bruce Lee's dunk, yes, he needs to help the team in this way, more, more comprehensive, more three-dimensional, more rich, rather than blindly three-pointers, three-pointers alone are not enough. ”

Van Gundy was a little excited, as a commentator, you are a little biased, how can you just stand on Li Liang's side?

But now, the fans who are following this game in the United States and even around the world, except for Spurs fans and a small number of Commey, are basically on the side of the Clippers and Li Liang.

Who wouldn't want to see a reversal?

Not to mention on the spur head that is so popular.

After Li Liang dunked, the tone on the forum began to change again.

Although the game is not over yet, Li Liang's performance is undoubtedly exciting.

"8 points, 8 points short!"

"Who else! Forrest Gump. ”

"If only that three-pointer had scored."

The pressure came to the Spurs.

As a seasoned Spurs player, that's nothing at all.

It is impossible to be nervous, and you will never be nervous in this life.

It's a big deal to lose, what 0.4 seconds were killed, 35 seconds and 13 minutes reversed, it's not that I haven't experienced it, what's the big deal?

Duncan mentions the high post as a pick-and-roll cover, and Parker plays inside with the ball, makes a clearance, and distributes the ball to Ginobili on the wing.

Parker has slipped this season compared to last season, but Ginobili's form has picked up.

After receiving the ball, he made an accelerated serpentine break to the basket, causing another defensive foul on Jordan Jr.

The Clippers would rather give free throws than let their opponents make easy layups.

In the previous games, the Spurs were given too many chances to score easily.

As soon as the Spurs' pass came out of space, the Clippers gave up on defense.

Now, never let the Spurs score easily.

Such a strategy worked.

Ginobili stepped to the free throw line and missed the first free throw.

At times like these, 1 point less is fatal.

The Spurs also gave a chance, with Leonard hitting one of two free throws and Ginobili hitting one of two free throws.

Subsequently, it was Li Liang who held the ball, he took advantage of the Spurs' fear of his three-point shot, feints to shake off the defender, breaks through to the basket, and lays up causing Split's foul!

Li Liang's breakthrough layup made a kill, which was very rare in his game.

Even Van Gundy said, "We all found the Bruce Lee problem, and we all knew he had something to improve on, something to evolve." But his evolution seems to have come a little too fast. “

Van Gundy believes that Li Liang's biggest problem is that his offense relies heavily on space, but his ability to create space on his own is not strong.

It's just that the two teams he is in have super space involvement, and he plays in the most suitable environment for him, so he naturally exerts his energy to the extreme.

Once there is no such containment, he will be targeted as he was in the first half today.

Van Gundy believes that Li Liang needs to improve and improve in the future so that he can go further.

But Van Gundy didn't expect that his improvement would come as soon as he was told.

Although Li Liang's sudden ball was not beautiful, he was rushing to make a foul, but he succeeded, and the referee helped.

Li Liang stood on the free throw line, and it was impossible for him to miss the free throw at this time.

Hit both free throws, 103:110, 7 points!

The Clippers are rushing back minute by minute.

But time is running out and there are two minutes left.

Two minutes later, Popovich called a timeout.

Needless to say, Spurs are starting to drag their feet.

Li Liang returned to the bench, and his mind began to think about his [Garbage King] medal again.

Where the hell did it go?

It's a good thing, but does it have an expiration date?

Or do you have fatigue and just run out?

Li Liang couldn't understand, he missed the garbage king, and missed the feeling of relaxation and enjoyment when wearing it.

Every time Li Liang goes to the field to brush data in garbage time, it is not really to brush data.

Half of what he said to Rivers and Mike Brown was true, except he wasn't for "workout," he was for enjoyment.

Enjoy the stress-free game, enjoy the basketball and enjoy that feeling of control.

If you don't have these, how can you enjoy it in the garbage time in the future, and you can't put it away so freely.

"Bruce, do you hear my arrangement?"

Rivers asked Li Liang if he had listened to his tactical arrangements.

Li Liang shook his head, Rivers nodded, and said, "It's right if you didn't listen, play according to your ideas, relax, this is your time!" ”

"My time?" Li Liang didn't expect Rivers to say that.

"That's right, it's your time! Just like you did in the Grand Final! Rivers said loudly.

In the finals? I used props in the finals, and it cost me a lot of anger points!

Right now...... The three-point shooting rate improvement post just now is wasted, and there is no chance to shoot at all, and Li Liang has also made a better choice.

Now that the statute of limitations has passed, Li Liang can no longer use any consumable props.

The time of [Gravitational Wooden Fish] has also passed, and it is useless.

The shooting percentage has recovered to 50%, and the big tonic pill can't be used.

There is one more time left in the active skill [One Shot into the Soul], and there is nothing else.

All that was left was himself, and the abilities he had acquired.

At this time, Li Liang asked himself, is he still confident to win?

Will he still be able to perform like he did in the finals?

Li Liang took a second to think of the answer.

"I'm Gan Liliang, what's not to do?"
