In terms of making a big fuss after the game, Li Liang is also ranked first in history.

At the beginning, a Fo, Fo, Fo, almost came true.

And some other post-game remarks were rarely slapped in the face.

In comparison, the current NBA is becoming more and more civilized, not only does it not fight on the court, but trash talk off the court is not as passionate as before.

When Li Liang said that he wanted to "end the series in Los Angeles", he was telling the Lakers that the Thunder were going to sweep you.

Judging from the results of the first game, it is true that the difference in strength between the two teams is still quite large.

If Kobe Bryant was still in his prime, the two teams would definitely have a dozen, but this is already Kobe's last season.

Li Liang was then asked why he was so confident that he could sweep the Lakers, and Li Liang's answer was quite thoughtful: "I hope Kobe Bryant can complete the last game of his career in Los Angeles." ”

Kobe Bryant laughed angrily when he saw this, and his response was, "My career should end in the Finals." ”

Li Liang said, "He's dreaming. ”

The Lakers spent a day in the city, and Bryant was invited to visit the museum in the city.

Because everyone knows in their hearts that Kobe's 20-year career is really likely to end in this series.

If it is really as Li Liang said, the Lakers are done in four games, then Kobe Bryant will not visit the Russian City as a player later.

So hurry up and ask him to leave something behind.

The two sides rested for a day, and the second game was played on the evening of May 3.

Stimulated by Li Liang's remarks after the last game, after the start of this game, Kobe Bryant began to attack with the ball with all his might!

Kobe Bryant is such a temper, you dare to look down on me? I've got to get the field back.

The game can be lost, but the momentum cannot be lost.

Then, the Lakers trailed by 11 points in the first half......

Lao Ke is still not inferior to the old man in terms of his talent for striking iron, he is still the same boy he used to be, and he has not changed in the slightest.

In the first half, Bryant made 5 shots and hit 10 irons in 15 shots!

Of course, Kobe Bryant can't be blamed entirely, the Thunder deliberately let Kobe Bryant play a lot of singles.

Use Durant's long arm to defend Kobe Bryant one-on-one.

For Leonard and Lefou, it is a closed posture.

The man who was let go was Hibbert - the biggest shortcoming of the Lakers' starters.

Hibbert played well in the first half, scoring 11 points, shooting 5-of-6 from the field and making free throws.

But Hibbert is a typical undead, and the Thunder just let him go and didn't give Leonard and Lefour a chance.

Hibbert can only eat a cake and pick up leaks, and the statistics are good, but it does not really help the team's offense and cannot break through the Thunder's defense.

And the Thunder's offense is as simple and sharp as ever.

When there was only Durant and Westbrook, most teams were overwhelmed.

One has a strong projection ability in singles, the other is invincible in assault ability, and the two play well together, and it is difficult to contain any defense.

Well, now that there is a strengthened version of James Harden who completely matches them and makes up for the shortcomings of the two, how to deal with it?

Basketball is an offensive game after all.

After a season of running-in, the cooperation of the three in the second half was extremely sharp.

The high success rate of the offense is scary, and the Lakers' interior line is a mess.

If it weren't for Robertson's cub, the outside line would have missed two big open three-pointers, and the Thunder would have expanded the difference to more than 20 points early on.

Rao is so, and the Lakers are still difficult to parry.

In the second half, Kobe Bryant refound his position and began to cooperate more with Leonard to create more opportunities for Leonard.

Leonard also slowly found his senses, and hit consecutive mid-range jumpers one-on-one, closing the score and chasing the difference to about 10 points at one point.

But at the end of the third quarter, to be specific, there was one minute left, and the third quarter was about to end.

Li Liang remained on the court, first receiving the outside serve, and hitting a long-distance three-point shot.

Then, he commanded the whole team to carry out a tight defense in the frontcourt, which caused the Lakers to make a service error.

Li Liang got the ball and hit an easy pull-up jump shot under the basket, which not only dodged Leonard's block, but also caused his defensive foul and wanted to add a penalty!

After scoring 6 points in a row, Li Liang did not give up the "pursuit of victory".

Many teams took advantage, such as pressing the defense in the front court and successfully defending one, and then defending normally in the next round.

Li Liang's thinking has never been like this, and in the battlefield of the playoffs, every point counts.

Beating the water dogs has always been his way of thinking.

Mao ZX once said that it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord.

Just look at Li Liang's career performance in a single game in the playoffs and in the entire series, chasing and fighting is his motto, which is also the original Tao has a time limit and forced him out.

After scoring six points in a row, Li Liang was unceremonious, and immediately launched the skill [Death Entanglement] to steal Leonard in the midfield!

Then a hit to the ground [one shot into the soul] to Kante, who turned around and went down, Kante caught the ball and dunked it!

In just 30 seconds, Li Liang alone led an 8:0 offensive shockwave, which made the Lakers' efforts to chase points go to waste in an instant.

Such a blow is very big and very painful.

Scott sees a scene like this, you tell him to call a timeout, it doesn't make sense, it's the last two rounds.

Don't call a timeout, it's 8:0, it's so easy to get close.

Scott finally called a timeout, and he had learned the power of Li Liang.

If you don't call a timeout, in the end he will give you a super long three-point that is not in the middle line to teach you how to behave.

For this, the coaches of the league have been taught, and they have to guard against it.

So Scott still called a short timeout to interrupt Li Liang's fiery state.

Donovan also replaced Li Liang with a rest in a timely manner, preventing him from continuing to release energy.

This sudden shock wave washed away the remaining hope of the Lakers.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers still tried to chase forward, but the Thunder and Lakers shared a point with each other, a tug-of-war.

The point difference has always remained above 15 points, and in the last few minutes, the Lakers have no hope of turning the tables.

However, Kobe Bryant still didn't give up, and still went all out, attacking to chase points - and then the difference was even greater.

Li Liang couldn't help but "criticize" Lao Ke on the court, "Lao Ke, you are really old, don't play like this anymore, are you wearing a Thunder jersey?" ”

Because he had taken the bruise pill given to him by Li Liang at the beginning, Kobe's physical condition was still very good.

If he wants to, he has no problem playing for another three or four seasons.

If he wants to leave the Lakers, it is not impossible for some small teams to offer a maximum salary.

After all, that's Kobe Bryant, and the market effect is worth two top salaries.

But it was the regular season, and the playoffs were really a bit overwhelming.

When Kobe missed the outside three-point shot, Li Liang won the rebound, and after dribbling over half the court, in the face of Kobe's defense, he directly pulled up a long-range three-point shot, Kobe shook his head helplessly.

The years are unforgiving, and the playoffs are war, not entertainment.

The TV camera repeatedly played the scene of Kobe Bryant pouting, lowering his head and shaking gently after Li Liang hit a three-pointer, and then continued to run back to defend.

"The power of time is irresistible, Kobe Bryant has completed a great nirvana rebirth three years ago, and this year may really be the last year for him." The narrator said sadly.

In the end, there was no suspense in the game, and the Thunder easily crushed the Lakers with a 10-point advantage of 108:98, and the series took a 2-0 lead.

Li Liang is right, he is going to end this round of the series in Los Angeles.
