?? Li Liang has been getting the [Garbage King] prop for a long time, but it has not come in handy.

The main purpose is to use it to brush data, because when he was with the Lakers and Clippers, his teammates were very strong and often put the game into garbage time, so Li Liang had a lot of opportunities to "exercise".

And tonight's game against Spurs, Li Liang's team is facing such a predicament for the first time.

After trailing by 30 points at halftime, the Spurs showed no mercy at the start of the third quarter and continued to hit the Clippers with their heads.

However, the Clippers slowed down, and under the leadership of Li Liang, they slowly launched a counterattack, biting the score and not letting the point difference further expand.

Well, there is no expansion, and it continues to be maintained at 30 points.

In fact, the Spurs don't need to be so ferocious, they can play leisurely in the third quarter.

But Popovich is obviously not very at ease with Li Liang, and those who score 60 points in the finals must not be taken lightly.

The rest of the Spurs players thought the same thing, and the scene of being killed after rebounding last season is still vivid.

Therefore, the Spurs did not relax in the slightest, played normally, and pressed the Clippers to play.

By the end of the third quarter, the margin had reached 35 points.

At this time, Rivers saw that the situation was not right, shook his head and was about to give up.

He called a long timeout and was ready to bring off all the main players.

'We did our best tonight but winning and losing is a common thing and we have to learn a lesson from this defeat. We played badly, we didn't have the courage to win, it's all worth reflecting on! “

Rivers said a set of things, of course, to encourage the players.

After all, losing is so ugly, everyone feels uncomfortable.

I didn't expect the Spurs to be so heavy.

Rivers replaced the main force, he looked at Li Liang, does this guy want to play?

Rivers didn't know, it stands to reason that garbage time is to brush data, but some time ago he said no.

Is it used or not?

Rivers was confused, and for the first time in his life, as a head coach, he didn't know whether to make a substitution.

Li Liang answered his doubt, "Let me stay on the court, I will finish this game, rest assured that I will not be injured." ”

Rivers nodded, if he wants to go up and fight, go up and fight, whatever he wants.

So, Li Liang stayed on the court.

At this point, the score was 63-97, and the Clippers were already trailing by as many as 34 points.

There were 2 minutes and 58 seconds left until the end of the third quarter.

In addition to Li Liang, the Clippers also have Antoine Jamison, Hollins, Darren Collisson, plus Willie Green.

Except for Li Liang, there is almost no lineup with independent offensive firepower, and Jamison plus Collison counts as one.

Willie Green piecemeal, Hollins ...... If he can eat the bread in his mouth, he will be considered successful.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich saw that Li Liang was still on the court, and hesitated to keep Leonard on the court.

On second thought, Popovich knew that Bruce Lee, a stinking and shameless person, always liked to score points in garbage time.

This habit of his is about to affect his reputation in the MVP selection.

Because the selection reporters will think that there is moisture in Li Liang's data.

A lot of his points came when there was no suspense in the game.

It's like some players, obviously the game is gone, they are going to lose, they can't shoot before, and they start to pick up their own when the opponent relaxes and doesn't defend.

As a result, as soon as the game was over, of course, it was a loss.

But when you look at this player's stats, it seems to be pretty good, and the score is 20.

It seems that he is not to blame for the loss, it must be that some players with a bad shooting percentage hit too much iron to cause the loss.

People who don't watch the game and only look at the data will have such an impression stream.

At present, the impression of Li Liang is reversed, and he feels that he has a lot of brushes.

That's right, he's brushing, what's wrong with Lao Tzu's brush!

I score points, but I also win!

After considering it, Popovich thought that Li Liang was routinely brushing points, so he decided to let Leonard rest.

Really, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and Popovich is not a god, and his command is already very good this time.

The Spurs brought on a bench of Mills, Bonner, Baines and others.

In fact, in terms of strength, the Spurs bench is not necessarily better than the Clippers bench players.

But the Spurs' player culture is very good, whether it is a substitute or a main team, there is absolutely no problem with attitude and mood after the game.

There won't be a situation where I feel like I'm a substitute and I can't beat you and I can't play well.

This is also a manifestation of the fighting power of the Spurs.

But all of this is fake in front of the [Garbage King].

"Wear the [Trash King] medal, determine that you have entered garbage time, enter the garbage king mode, and have a happy game."

A line of subtitles appeared in front of Li Liang's eyes, and he knew that his time as king had come.

The Trash King mode is actually quite strange in that it doesn't increase your stats.

Therefore, Li Liang still can't make technical moves.

But the problem is that even if you're not skilled in a technical move, King mode will let you get the ball into the hoop.

It's equivalent to a game that is no longer a competition, but a training.

For a professional player like Li Liang, all kinds of technical moves can be played in training.

As soon as he put on the medal, Li Liang felt that his entire body became lighter.

The tension was gone.

There doesn't seem to be any interest in knowing what the score is.

He just wants to play, focus on the game and not care about the difference.

With 2:58 left in the game, the Clippers took a throw-in.

The Spurs' defense was all shrunk inside the three-point line, with no one grabbing or pressing.

Everyone was relaxed, as if they were training.

Li Liang took the pass from his teammate and then dribbled it past half court, and the defender against him was Jeff Ayres.

Li Liang slowly dribbled to the top of the arc, and Ayers just made a defensive appearance and didn't pounce.

Anyway, the last two minutes of the third quarter, the gap of more than 30 points, casually played.

Ayers was already thinking about how to attack later.

In garbage time, the important thing is the score, and you have to have data.

Then Li Liang faced Ayres and shot directly with a three-pointer.

This three-point shot is very light, just like in training, the shot is very soft, and the arc is also beautiful.

It's a good ball at first glance.

"Huh!"

The ball went in.

66:97, which was his second three-pointer of the game.

He had previously shot 1-of-6 from three-point range, the worst shooting percentage of his career.

Now, he's going to get back what he's lost.

Li Liang felt great, but Popovich, as well as the Spurs players and fans, did not realize the danger was approaching.

The Spurs' bench players chose to play against the Clippers, and Mills took the ball and rushed inside.

As a result, the inside line was hatted by Li Liang!

I, Li Liang, have played center, don't look down on my basket protection!

Li Liang covered Mills' layup and then dribbled across half court himself.

He's not fast, but he's rhythmic, using Hollins and Jamison to get around the opposition's blocks.

Then he shot again from 45 degrees beyond the three-point line on the right side.

It was still an easy and soft shot, and Li Liang felt no pressure on his body at all.

In fact, if any player can do the same thing during the game as he does in training, then his level of competition and performance on the pitch must be high.

In the stadium of 10,000 people, under the high-intensity confrontation, technical actions and mentality will definitely change.

Even a player with a big heart can't be at the same level as he is in training.

Take free throws as an example, many interior players who make very poor free throws can reach more than 80 percent of the free throws in training.

When it comes to the game, when it comes to confrontation, even if no one stops it at the free throw line, it will still not be scored.

As for Li Liang, he was born with a talent for stability, and he has only conceded two free throws so far.

It's been a season so far, losing two.

In addition, with the medal in effect, the ball flew into the basket as if it were equipped with a guidance radar.

One more three!

69:97！

The score difference is within 30 points.

And only 40 seconds passed.

Popovich smelled something unsettling, but he didn't call a timeout.

It's not worth it, the 28-point gap is not enough.

Subsequently, the Spurs players gave Popovich a reassurance.

Mills assists Baines and makes a layup on the basket.

Without Jordan Jr., the Clippers' interior line can't hold it.

The margin is back to 30 points.

But Li Liang didn't care about the score or score difference at all, he didn't look at it.

The Clippers attacked, this time Ayers didn't dare to let Li Liang shoot three points again, and let him score three points again, he would be scolded to death by Popovich.

Li Liang didn't try to score three points again, but handed the ball to Collison, and he began to run around in circles.

Collison didn't find a chance after the operation, and returned the ball to Li Liang, who ran to the middle.

After Li Liang received the ball, he feinted to sway, and then moved a little to the side, moved sideways, and shot at the middle distance in the horn position!

It's still a relaxed and gentle shot, and the technical movements are done in one go.

This kind of action can only be made by Li Liang when he is training and when no one is defending.

When it comes to the playing field, he can't.

Now he can do it and the ball goes in.

It's a sideways, one-footed, half-backward shot!

Popovich frowned and said in his heart, isn't this Nowitsky?

Thinking of Nowitzki, Popovich was reminded of some not-so-good memories.

But Li Liang is much worse than Nowitzki in terms of offensive skills.

It's just a new trick, and a three-point shot is amazingly explosive.

There are really intercontinental missiles, and no conventional weapons are of such use.

Popovich was thinking about it, and Li Liang managed to break the ball from Ayles in defense.

Then a long pass went to Collison who was about to go down, and Collison made a layup.

73:99,26min.

Popovich saw that the situation was not good, and it felt that something was wrong.

With one minute left in the third quarter, Popovich called a short timeout.

He thinks he should adjust it, but should he go to the main force?

Duncan, Parker, and the others were already wearing tracksuits, and Duncan's knees were covered with ice packs.

Bear with me, bear with me.
