The second battle between the two sides was extremely intense, and the Thunder had played at a super high level, but the Warriors were also very tenacious.

The game battled until the final minute, with the Thunder leading the Warriors by six points with 59 seconds left in the game.

It's a safe score, but it doesn't seem to be for the Warriors.

Steve Cole called a timeout and laid out a quick offensive tactic.

After the timeout, the Thunder had a small hole in the defense, which was wiped under the basket by Curry, and a light pick-and-roll was successful!

The margin came to 4 points, and immediately after, the Warriors began to press the Thunder in the frontcourt.

Westbrook made a mistake on the ball and was cut off by Green, who passed the ball to Klay Thompson on the perimeter.

Thompson catches the ball and makes a three-point shot, and then hits!

Thompson hit his sixth three-pointer of the game!

In just a dozen seconds, the difference has narrowed to only 1 point!

The Thunder were under so much pressure that Donovan called a timeout.

On the bench, Li Liang really couldn't help but scold Westbrook.

Westbrook dared to fight back, and the two almost quarreled.

That mistake just now really shouldn't have been, even if it was a timeout.

But the Thunder still have a 1-point lead, and there is still the ball, and the initiative is still in the hands of the Thunder.

The offense after returning from the timeout was very crucial, and Donovan arranged a Li Liang and Durant blocking tactics during the timeout.

This is the safest tactical fit.

But you feel safest, and the Warriors also know that this is a tactic that the Thunder will use.

So Kerr arranged the bag defense against Li Liang and Durant during the timeout, and Iguodala, Green, and Thompson played close interference defense.

Faced with this situation, Li Liang, who received the sideline ball, did not rigidly follow the tactical routine, but passed the ball to Westbrook in the middle.

Westbrook received the ball in the middle and rushed to the basket with an arrow step, two steps inside the free throw line, and Bogut forced a layup, which also caused Bogut's foul and scored three points!

After entering, Westbrook raised his arms and roared!

The energy center was jubilant, and the decibel exploded.

He completed the redemption of himself, and it was Li Liang's pass that gave him this opportunity.

Don't dare to quarrel with the boss anymore.

Standing at the free throw line, Westbrook added a free throw.

The margin was back up to four points, with 20 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors had to score a quick offense and then foul the game.

But at this time, Li Liang will not give the warriors any more chances.

He also held a [Death Wrap] in his hand, and after Curry held the ball for half the court, he directly stepped forward and Westbrook to pinch Curry and break the ball!

After breaking the ball, another [one shot into the soul], not giving the opponent a chance to foul, and a long pass to Durant who is about to go.

Durant has no one to defend in front of him, his long arms are relaxed, and he has a gliding dunk!

This is a nail in the coffin for the Warriors.

10 seconds, 6 points difference, no hope, no miracles.

The Warriors stubbornly resisted the entire game and eventually died at the hands of the Big Three.

The Warriors had a serious face, and they did their best tonight, using 120 percent of their energy, but they still lost.

Li Liang once again played a decisive role in the critical time, and he was an out-and-out key man in the playoffs.

Commentators have said, "Bruce Lee's performance in crunch time never disappoints." ”

After winning the game, the Thunder took a 2-0 lead in the series, and the situation was very good.

On the other court, the next day, the Cleveland Cavaliers also won the Toronto Raptors, leading 2-0.

Is James going to meet Li Liang in the Finals again?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

……

After the second match, both sides were given a three-day break.

On May 20, the Thunder team flew to Oakland to prepare for the last two games of the series, the game at Oracle.

After Li Liang flew to Oakland, he took time out to walk the streets of San Francisco alone — with bodyguards, of course.

He's really familiar with San Francisco, after all, he's been in the system for I don't know how many times.

Thirty years on, the streets of San Francisco haven't changed much, they are still the same as they used to be.

However, when he walked to the place where the "Big Nate Grill" was located, he found that the barbecue restaurant had long since closed and become another store.

The news of Li Liang walking the streets of San Francisco quickly made local headlines.

Because there are a lot of Chinese in the San Francisco area, it is rare for many fans to come and ask for autographs along the way.

It is conceivable that in the game two days later, at the Oracle Arena, there will be many fans supporting the Thunder.

On May 22, the third match between the two sides will start in Auckland.

A day ago, the Cavaliers had ended their third battle with the Raptors.

In Toronto, the Raptors defeated the Cavaliers and avoided being swept.

The impact of home and away games on the team is big and small.

Anyway, for Li Liang, it doesn't matter much whether he is away or away, and even his performance is better away from home.

According to the statistics made by the media, Li Liang's performance on the road in the playoffs is higher than that at home.

Like the super performance of 60 points and 50 points in the finals, they were all played away from home.

It's not once or twice that the opponent has been silent on the road.

In Li Liang's own words, "Only on the away side can I become a pure basketball player, not a performer." ”

This is said to be very pretending, in fact, it is willing to hang up away.

The third game was pivotal for both sides.

The Warriors must win the third game, and if they lose again, they will fall off the cliff.

0:3, there is no hope.

Win one game, fight again in the fourth game, and the two sides will still have a chance to play Tianwang Mountain.

The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. PT and the Oracle Arena is full.

The Warriors' fans at the scene were all wearing yellow T-shirts, which can be described as gold armor all over the city.

However, there are still many Warriors fans among them, although they are wearing yellow T-shirts, they are holding signs supporting the Thunder.

Needless to say, these are all Li Liang's fans.

The mentality of the Warriors team as a whole is not much different from the first two games.

On the one hand, morale is high, and when you come back home, you must win the game.

On the one hand, there is still some fear in my heart, fear of Bruce Lee.

This person has never been reasonable, and there will always be a super performance in this kind of key node competition.

He will not drag the game to any Tianwang Mountain, grab seven, and then exert his energy, praising people for his strong ability in key games.

For Li Liang, there is no key game, and it will be over if you win all the way, how can there be a tie-break of five and a tie-for-seven.

If you don't have enough strength, you have to grab five and seven.

The race is on.

Adams and Bogut jump the ball in the center circle.

There are no changes to the starting line-ups of both sides compared to the first two games.

Adams was the first to get the ball and the Thunder were the first to attack.

However, in the first ball, Westbrook cut the basket with the help of Li Liang's block, and wanted to share the ball to the bottom line Adams.

The result was recognized by Green, and Green broke the ball and succeeded.

It can be seen that the Warriors have made full preparations before the game for the Thunder's relatively simple offensive path.

During the three-day break, Kerr took his players through the replay of the footage of the first two games.

For the Warriors, it was nothing short of torture.

Especially in the second game, there was a chance to turn the tables around at the last moment, but in the end it was lost.

The Warriors have a breath in their stomachs and want to breathe that when they return to their home court.

Green took the ball and quickly advanced across the half court and handed it to Curry.

Curry stood up to Robertson's close defense, dribbling with his left hand and forcing it inside.

Then in the ribs, suddenly a mid-range jumper shot from a horse archery hit a two-point shot.

Curry played the ball very tough, facing Robertson, who was much taller than him, and forced the attack.

But immediately Li Liang came out of the baseline, received Westbrook's pass, and hit a mid-range jumper in the horn position.

This is different from Li Liang in the first two games, he didn't attack in the first two games, and generally started to exert force at the end of the first quarter.

Tonight, he started catching the ball on the first ball.

This is an unusual sign.

Obviously, for this game, Li Liang is determined to win.
