Li Liang scored only five points in the first quarter, but he only shot once.

The commentator says Bruce Lee may not be comfortable with the feeling of starting the game.

In fact, Li Liang hopes that Durant and Westbrook can find their rhythm sooner.

In the regular season, everyone is accustomed to the rhythm of starting with double less and Li Liang's follow-up efforts.

Donovan didn't want to put Li Liang in the starting line-up, and that familiar rhythm was disrupted.

And Li Liang completed Donovan's arrangement very well, and he put more energy on rebounding and defense.

Steals, backcourt rebounds, blocks, offensive covers, blocks, and card positions, he did a very good job.

A good player, if he is only good at scoring, it is very difficult for him to achieve superstar level.

Li Liang has played two to three times as many games as ordinary players in four seasons, and he is quite experienced and experienced on the court.

Including some small tricks that have been lost on the pitch for a long time.

What kind of kicking an egg, pushing someone, pinching an arm and hitting the head or something, in terms of small actions, Li Liang is really not a lot at all.

In the past, Li Liang played very brightly, and then he played with the Pistons in the mission, and then learned from Malone and became teammates with Stockton.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Warriors by 5 points at 31:26.

When Green was resting off the court, he kept complaining that Bruce Lee was too dirty to play.

"He kicked me, kept kicking me! He always lifts his legs! ”

Green complained to Kerr while talking to the referee.

And the referee's words can make him angry, "You can also try to kick him." ”

Green dares, Li Liang's hair dryer and big elbow are not decorations.

Kerr still has to find a way to make Green Shao and Li Liang oppose, so that the time of the two can be staggered, so as to better play Green's effect.

At the start of the second quarter, Kerr replaced Batum and partnered Iguodala at the front.

On the Thunder's side, Li Liang took a two-minute break in the first quarter, and then came directly to the court in the second quarter with a substitute.

At the same time, the Thunder's second lineup is different from the previous game.

Previously, it was generally Li Liang, Kanter, Vitesse, Augustin, and a son of Singler.

In the playoffs, Donovan finally figured out that Singler was not his son, so he changed the second team to Adams Gakante's two-inside combination, and promoted Li Liang to his favorite and most attacking No. 3 position.

The position of small forward is the position that really belongs to Li Liang.

The first decade of the 21st century was the era of the big forward, and the second decade was certainly the era of the small forward.

This is an all-round position, which can give full play to Li Liang's energy.

At the same time, Adams Gakante's twin tower combination can make up for the lack of the Thunder's interior defense as much as possible.

Donovan's thinking is different from last year's Pacers.

The Pacers are five-on-five, while the Thunder choose to use big to suppress small.

After the start of the second quarter, the Warriors insisted on playing fast, and Livingston seized the counterattack opportunity to dunk under the basket!

Then Li Liang missed a three-pointer from the outside, and Iguodala got the rebound and pushed back to counterattack, and the layup caused a foul by Kanter.

went to the free throw line, hit two free throws, and chased four points in a row.

Then, Batum, Iguodala, and Barnes surrounded Li Liang, causing Li Liang to make a dribbling error.

Switching offense and defense again, Iguodala scored in the sky and chased 6 points in a row.

Donovan began to get a little anxious, getting up and pacing around the sidelines, wondering if his strategy was wrong?

The warriors are now holding on to Li Liang's point, and they are desperately attacking him, whether attacking or defending.

Originally, there was a 5-point lead in the first quarter, but in the blink of an eye, it became a 1-point deficit.

Donovan didn't call a timeout, he still believed in Li Liang and his control of the situation.

Li Liang handed over his backcourt serve to Vitesse, who was stronger and more secure than Augustine.

After halftime, Li Liang came out to catch the ball again, and on the left side, the Warriors defense pasted up, and Li Liang immediately passed the ball to Adams in the low post.

Li Liang attracted most of the defensive attention, and Adams was able to force Speights in the low post.

Adams turned past Speights with a beautiful back and scored two points with a light layup on his left hand.

For a key goal, Li Liang did not play hard by himself, but after being familiar with the opponent's defensive routine, he identified the weakness and created opportunities for his teammates.

Once the Warriors don't have a chance to fight back, it will be a little difficult to carve a position.

Livingston faked a pick-and-roll and broke through the basket from the baseline to make a rebound, but was slapped off by a big hat from Adams, who was following up.

The Thunder had a chance to switch offense, Augustin got the ball and quickly crossed the halfcourt, and the Warriors defended extremely fast.

There was no chance, the ball was returned to Li Liang, Li Liang received the ball in the front, and faced Iguodala with a direct three-point shot!

Li Liang shot extremely fast, and Iguodala knew that he was going to shoot, but he still didn't have time to interfere.

The ball finally hit!

Li Liang's first three points of the game came a little later.

The margin was back stretched to 4 points, and Donovan could finally sit down and take a break.

Then it's Cole who should be in a hurry.

Li Liang made another steal in defense.

The Warriors were in a bit of a hurry to pass the ball in pursuit of speed.

Li Liang directly killed the basket with one dragon, and the tank car generally rushed to the three-second zone, and he succeeded with a one-handed heavy buckle!

The basket buzzed as he buckled.

The Warriors called a short timeout and brought on Curry again.

Facing the Thunder's interior twin towers, Kerr opted for a three-guard combination.

Curry, Livingston plus Barbossa.

It's a collision between speed and power.

Both sides want to be able to catch the game and don't want to follow the rhythm of the other side.

Coming back from a timeout, Curry passes to Livingston.

Livingston hit a two-point jumper with his back to the baseline.

His mid-distance is getting more and more perfect.

But Li Liang's three-point feeling really came.

Dribbling over half the court, Kante brought up a cover and made a three-point shot directly from the outside!

Again!

Second three-pointer.

Li Liang's three-point shot is fast and accurate, and watching him shoot three-pointers is another kind of enjoyment compared to Curry.

Then, Curry dribbled in the middle and wanted to give the ball to Green under the basket.

As a result, Li Liang made another steal!

This was Li Liang's fourth steal of the game.

It was still a fast attack counterattack, Li Liang did not have the slightest idea of passing the ball to his teammates, and killed the basket in one go, causing the opponent's defensive foul.

In the second lineup, Li Liang controlled the situation alone.

Kerr put Bogut and Thompson back on the court.

Batum had little effect on Li Liang.

He's got long arms and good defense, but he's too thin.

After all, no one thought that after a summer passed, Li Liang's body would become so strong.

Batum couldn't resist Li Liang's fast-break counterattack at all, so he could only foul.

Both free throws were hit.

The Thunder quickly reasserted their advantage after five minutes of the second quarter.

However, the Warriors' starters were all back soon.

Thompson hit two three-pointers from the outside, and the Warriors chased the points quite quickly.

Donovan immediately called a timeout and replaced Durant and Westbrook on the court, allowing Li Liang to take a break.

In the second quarter, the Thunder still maintained a high-pressure posture against the Warriors.

Defense, offense, putting a lot of pressure on the Warriors.

But the Warriors' offense is like a slippery loach, you always feel like you've got a grip on him, and he can still sneak through your fingers and cause you problems.

Frontcourt rebounds, on-the-spot rebounds, quick three-point shots from the outside, if the word "tenacious" is used to describe a team's defense most of the time, then here in the Warriors, it can definitely be used to describe their offense.

The Warriors' offense was quite tenacious.

This is due to their tacit passing and cutting system, which really gives every player more opportunities.

And the Warriors players are far more alert than the average team in the frontcourt.

Some teams shoot one from the outside, pull it down if they don't score, and go back to defense.

The Warriors will definitely do their best to create new scoring opportunities.

Therefore, although the Thunder have been pressing the Warriors to play, they have not really been able to pull the difference apart.

At the end of the second quarter, the Thunder was only 60-55, continuing to lead the Warriors by five points.

The two sides went into halftime.

There are some problems on both sides.

The problem with the Warriors is that Curry has been pressed to death and has not played well so far.

The problem with the Thunder is that, apart from the Big Three, the performance of the role players is average.

The problems faced by the two sides can be said to be diametrically opposed, and it will be up to the two coaches to deal with the changes in the second half.
