During Li Liang's two days in Auckland, in addition to sleeping and training, the rest of the time was mainly spent watching game videos.

Yes, he has been watching the first game video repeatedly, not to enjoy the highlights of his 55 shot, but to extrapolate through the video what kind of tricks the Warriors might take to contain themselves in the second game.

To be honest, he knew that Kerr would definitely not let Green defend himself in Game 2.

In the past few years, the regular season has proved that Green may be good to others, but not good to Li Liang at all.

Leonard was restrained by Li Liang, you can say that it was a psychological problem, or some technical characteristics, plus Li Liang's deception.

Green couldn't prevent Li Liang from being true, and he was comprehensively suppressed in terms of technique, strength, playing style and psychology.

Let Green deal with James, and he won't be beaten so badly by Li Liang.

James's style of play, Green can be dealt with, back, body contact, and confrontation under the basket, Green is OK.

And James doesn't talk much trash talk, he's a more civilized person.

Li Liang is different, first of all, the extremely accurate three-point is difficult for Green to deal with, your arm span and height can't cover Li Liang, and the outside Thompson and Iguodala are not good at sticking to the defense.

Not to mention the physical contact and the confrontation under the basket, Li Liang's weird breakthrough stop-and-go jump shot, Green couldn't figure it out at all.

As for trash talk...... Forget it, Green still wants to live a few more years and play on the court for a while so that he can get a big contract in the future.

Therefore, Li Liang decided that Kerr would either let Thompson defend himself in Game 2 or would promote Iguodala to the starting lineup.

It's like in the Western Conference playoffs, suddenly with five small starters.

After a comprehensive discussion with Bird, Vogel, and Brown, it is believed that it is unlikely that Kerr will change the starting lineup.

They should still stick to the starting XI of the first game and make adjustments in the alignment.

The Pacers, of course, are the same, and the starting lineup is no different from the last game.

Both sides jumped the ball, and this time Bogut took the lead to the ball, and the offense started from the Warriors' side.

Oracle Arena isn't a bright yellow color tonight.

Mostly after the game, McGee said in a post-game interview, "When I saw the yellow on the spot, I thought I was in Indiana." ”

As soon as this statement came out, the Warriors also felt that there was a bit of a problem, and it didn't make the Pacers feel the oppression of playing away.

So in this game, the Warriors changed the yellow ocean of the previous game and changed all the T-shirts on the scene to blue.

Well, if there are Chinese fans supporting the Pacers on site, it will be very obvious.

In the blue ocean, there is a lump of yellow stuff, and of course there are quite a few of them.

There are really a lot of Chinese fans in the Bay Area, and then there may be a lot of Li Liang fans in the entire California region who come to watch the game.

During his two years in Los Angeles, Li Liang's accumulated popularity is very impressive.

So the blue sea did not appear at the scene, but a strange scene of yellow and blue.

I don't know if this strange scene made the Warriors players a little unaccustomed, and in the opening Thompson gave the ball to Green on the left wing.

There was no one in front of Green, and Li Liang didn't bother to guard against him, you have the ability to vote.

Green really dared to vote, and Green really didn't score.

The first three points of the opening period, Green missed.

However, the Warriors' defense is indeed different from the previous game.

Li Liang passed, Thompson defended closely, and Barnes interfered on the wing.

Li Liang held the ball and walked in to look for opportunities, but he didn't pay attention and was cut to the ball by Thompson, and the ball flew out and was picked up by Curry.

Blunder!

Li Liang made a mistake in the opening scene.

Curry gave the ball to Thompson again, and Thompson faced JR Smith, and after adjusting the dribble, he shot directly from the outside three-pointer.

Still missed!

Li Liang won the backcourt rebound and pushed the ball back, but Thompson was still staring closely.

Li Liang relied on McGee's cover in the high post, and after hitting the inside line, he made a quick stop jump shot, but he didn't score.

It seems that the state of both sides of the opening scene is very average, and the opening is crazy iron.

The Warriors, on the other hand, seem to be very determined to open it up to Thompson.

After a succession of passes, inward cuts, no results, and almost misses, Thompson held the ball on the left side and pulled Smith into the air.

A beautiful one-foot support step-back jumper shot that hit two points!

Kerr made up his mind tonight that he had to open the game with Thompson contributing on both ends of the floor, opening up the game, taking the pressure off Curry and allowing the Pacers to put more defensive power into Thompson.

In the last game, Curry was almost overwhelmed by the Pacers' defense.

Without Curry's play, the entire Warriors can't function, so Kerr hopes that Thompson and Green will open up first, so that Curry can relax a little, and then Curry plays, and the Warriors can fully operate.

However, such an idea also depends on whether the Pacers cooperate or not.

Pacers, Li Liang felt the pressure of the Warriors' defense, and he didn't take the lead and passed the ball to Granger.

Granger catches the ball near the free throw line, holds the ball and dodges Barnes before missing a mid-range jumper.

The Pacers feel like they're going to get into the regular season again, with some games of all kinds of iron, and then a whole bunch of them.

On the Warriors' side, after Curry dribbled in the high position, Bogut came out to block and dismantle, and McGee and Hill circled around Curry, just not giving Curry an easy chance to shoot three points.

Curry gave the ball to Bogut, and Bogut saw that there was no one in front of him?

So he dribbled the ball and killed it from the middle, wanting to have a two-handed buckle!

As a result, Li Liang came over head-on and confronted Bogut head-on!

Bogut's speed was too slow, and his explosiveness was not good, so he was forced to press down on the big hat by Li Liang!

Granger took the ball and advanced quickly, and gave the ball to JR Smith on the wing, who received the ball and threw it for three points, but still missed.

After the calf, it's really about to start all kinds of rhythms again.

Li Liang knew that the first thing to do in this situation was to stabilize the defense.

Just blocked Bogut, Li Liang was desperate to foul him and take him down.

Otherwise, Bogut's big mouth is buttoned on the inside, which is enough for him to say for a year.

And for Li Liang, what is it to give you Bogut a hat?

But the Warriors came back and Klay Thompson received a pass, stumbled and made a somewhat stiff layup in an accelerated shot, and the ball jumped twice on the basket before finally falling into the basket.

Thompson contracted the Warriors' four points in the opening stanza.

The Pacers' first score also came.

Because Li Liang began to be heavily guarded, JR-Smith stepped up and rushed to the basket with the ball.

In the case of an average outside touch, breaking through the basket is always an effective way to score.

Smith scored two points on a layup.

The start on both sides was rather dull, and the game was not very well played.

The Warriors faced the Pacers' man-marking, and the regular season pass-and-cut play didn't come out.

And the Pacers' side...... To be honest, they don't have any rules in the first place.

Overall, though, the Warriors' offense feels a little better.

Li Liang didn't take advantage of a blocking opportunity until 5 minutes into the first quarter of the game, and after entering the inside, he hit a stop-and-go jump shot on the right side and scored the first point of the game.

It's a world away from the first one.

But it is also normal, the Warriors focused on Li Liang from the beginning, and Thompson always kept close to him and did not give Li Liang a chance to shoot three-pointers.

The two sides played the first official timeout, and the score came to 10-11, with the Warriors leading the Pacers by one point.

Of the Warriors' 11 points, Thompson alone scored seven points and hit his first three-pointer of the game.

Thompson is on a hot streak tonight, but for now, it seems that the Pacers have not said anything about letting go of Curry's marker and switching to the idea of dealing heavily with Thompson.

Curry is indeed the core of the Warriors' offense, but can Thompson really let him play like this?
