In the third game, the Lakers beat the Rockets, leading 3:0, making the series completely free of suspense.

In this way, Game 4 will be a battle of honor for the Rockets.

Win, get a win at home, and then go to Los Angeles to die a peaceful and decent death.

If you lose, you will be swept in front of the home fans, and you will be a little embarrassed in terms of face.

And the Lakers, of course, want to end the series sooner.

Because on the other court, the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers are currently tied at 2:1, and the Nuggets pulled one back at home on the plateau.

Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, it is very difficult for the Clippers to eliminate the Nuggets in five games.

Once the two sides play six or seven games, the Lakers can get more rest time and allow the veterans to adjust.

In the third game, Kobe Bryant and Nash, two veterans, broke out, Kobe Bryant scored 35 points in the third quarter, and Nash had 22 points and 8 assists.

The two elders of Xuan Ming finally played a little bit of the feeling that people were looking forward to.

And Li Liang wiped the butts of the second elder Xuan Ming on the defensive end, and then relied on garbage time to brush up some points.

In the fourth game, Li Liang felt that he couldn't play like this anymore, Lao Tzu wanted to score!

Rocket, anyway, is also his youth in high school.

At that time, most of the student basketball fans watched the Rockets play and had lunch.

Once because of Yao Ming, because the Rockets were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in a row, they couldn't eat.

If you want to knock out rockets, then you have to knock them out beautifully, cleanly and painlessly.

In the previous three games, Li Liang was defensive and supportive.

Before the fourth game, Li Liang took the initiative to find Kobe and Nash, saying that I wanted to shoot three points and pass the ball to me.

Li Liang is a very direct person, and he is also thick-skinned, and he has never been ashamed of brushing.

He thinks that in basketball games, what you look at is data, and on the premise of being able to win, there is nothing to be embarrassed about with more data.

Comparatively speaking, Kobe and Nash belong to the older school of players, and for them, it is more shameful to brush the data.

However, I played with Li Liang for a season, and I knew that this person was shameless.

And he said he was going to shoot threes, which shows that he is confident to throw threes in.

Shooting a three-pointer is not the same as eating a pie under the basket.

Like David Robinson, in order to win the scoring title, the whole team made the ball for him, let him go crazy to the basket, and scored 70 points.

This kind of basket scoring is really a bit of a hooligan.

And if you want to brush up on three-point shots, at least you have to be able to shoot them.

Otherwise, it will be a shame to give you a chance to be useless, and if you can't shoot, you will let the opponent counterattack.

Anyway, this game is a game where everyone wants to win and not lose, and this is the playoffs.

Li Liang must show a good touch at the beginning, otherwise Kobe Bryant will not give you the ball.

Thinking of this, Li Liang felt very unfair.

Lao Ke, you guy, sometimes often incarnate as Tieguanyin, Lao Tzu will still pass the ball to you.

And if I can't vote, you won't pass it on to me, and you won't be righteous.

……

After a day of rest in Houston, the fourth game of the first round was played at the Toyota Center.

This time, Yao Ming also came to the scene to watch the game, and before the game started, Li Liang and Yao Ming shook hands and greeted each other.

Yao Ming joked: "Be merciful to your subordinates, otherwise I won't invite you to dinner when I return to China in the future." “

Li Liang said: "It's okay, I'll just invite you to dinner!" ”

Will Li Liang bend his waist for a meal and show mercy to his subordinates?

Resolutely not, Lao Tzu wants to score.

In fact, there is another reason why Li Liang wants to score this time, that is, he feels that in this game, the Rockets' defense against him should be slightly lax.

The Rockets were beaten like that by Kobe Bryant and Nash in the last game, and they will definitely strengthen their defense against the two.

Therefore, there will definitely be some loopholes on Li Liang's side, and he must seize the opportunity to put the rocket to death.

This is a common situation in the playoffs, the team with more points, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the gourd is lifted.

A team with fewer points is a point that is limited to death.

Ever since Li Liang started defending Harden, Harden has wanted to die.

This guy is so nasty, he's tall, defensively fast, and his hands and feet are clean.

Interference is in place in a timely manner, trash talk is set in a set, you can be stubborn, you can also use positions and tactics.

In order to entangle with Li Liang, Harden was anxious, scoring 19 points in the last game, and he didn't make many free throws.

After the game began, the Rockets still made adjustments, and the starters were no longer Beverley, but Delfino.

Although Beverley is useful defensively, he still doesn't support the team enough offensively.

And he was too short, and he was blown up by Kobe Bryant in the last game.

After switching to Delfino, the Rockets' outside height has increased even more, and there is one more reliable point of handling to share the pressure on Harden.

Of course, this also led to a further emptiness of the Rockets' bench.

McHale really can't help it, Sima is a live horse doctor, and he always has to change.

This change had a certain effect after the opening.

In the previous three games, the Rockets were inaccurate in the opening three points and had to rely on breakthroughs to score.

At the beginning of this game, Delfino hit a three-pointer to give the Rockets a head shot.

Harden is temporarily invisible, mainly for his teammates to respond and attract defense, avoiding Li Liang's edge.

On the Lakers' side, the first attack on Nash and Li Liang was a block, and the ball was returned to Li Liang, and Li Liang took a three-point shot after receiving the ball.

Also in it!

After a season of training, Li Liang's three points have reached the point where they are not very reasonable.

Especially Nash's return ball, the height, speed, and angle are just right.

After getting the ball, regardless of whether there is anyone defending in front of you, just throw it.

Li Liang also likes to stand one step outside the three-point line, and the opponent is not easy to defend.

Parsons has tried his best to make up for it, but he can only watch the three-point shot.

The Rockets, as well as the Rockets fans, all have a bad feeling.

Li Liang's three-point shot is still terrifying.

In the first quarter, the Rockets and Lakers turned on a three-point match.

Delfino, Parsons, and Jeremy Lin hit back-to-back three-pointers.

And Li Liang single-handedly pushed back all their three points, 3 out of 5!

Li Liang entered the three-point shooting mode with his eyes closed, and the Rockets also gave up the three-point defense on the outside, because their arrangement before the game was to stare at Nash and Kobe.

As a result, Kobe Bryant gave Li Liang the ball as soon as he encountered the bag, and gave Li Liang the ball as soon as he broke through.

Three three-pointers in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Li Liang made 2 of 4 three-point shots, all of which were hit at the key points of the Rockets' momentum.

This kind of three-point is the most terrible, and it looks like it's going to hit a wave of climax, and a three-point is pressed down for you.

In the cheers and cheers of the fans, the little momentum that the rocket had easily accumulated was consumed by this kind of ball.

At the end of the half, Li Liang made 5 of 9 three-point shots, which was more than Kobe's two-point shooting rate.

The Lakers led the Rockets by five points at 61:56.

In fact, the Rockets' offense played well.

Harden avoided Li Liang's edge tonight, played point guard, kept passing the ball to teammates, and organized the team's offense.

In fact, Harden has a good effect of playing point guard, letting him hold the ball at the top of the arc and commanding in the high post is much better than letting him hold the ball alone on the wing.

His first pass was accurate and sophisticated, and he was very thoughtful, which gave the Rockets a little more variety in positional warfare.

However, the Lakers' side was simple and rude, and the result of the Rockets' choice of the package was to let Li Liang shoot happily on the outside.

Li Liang scored 15 points in the half, and all the points came from three-point shots.

He used the Houston basket as a training ground.

In the second half, Haier finally realized that Li Liang couldn't be allowed to cast like this.

If his three-point shot is contained, the Rockets still have a chance to live.

Then McHale, you're naïve!

The second elder of the Lakers has found his state, if you go to target Li Liang, won't the second elder cripple you?

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets were really, and Parsons was staring at Li Liang and not wrapping Kobe and Nash.

Then Kobe Bryant set a combination punch, continuous step-back jumpers and a single attack on the inside, stopping the Rockets.

After three games, the Lakers have caught the Rockets.

The offense is playing with ease, the defense knows how to target, and Mike Brown just watches the ball from the sidelines, and he doesn't have to command.

After the timeout came back, the Rockets, who had lost the other, returned to the old way of wrapping Kobe.

Then Li Liang made two three-pointers from left to right, and McHale's leg was even more lame.

Originally, he was still pacing on the sidelines, but this time he simply sat on the sidelines and did not move.

Fart, how do you fight this?

At the end of the third quarter, Li Liang scored 21 points on seven three-pointers.

At this moment, the subtitles flashed in front of him, showing that he scored 20 points in the first playoff game and won a chance to win a lucky wheel draw.

Li Liang doesn't care anymore, it's only 7 three-pointers, and Lao Tzu has to throw in another one.

Seven three-pointers is already a high record in the NBA, after all, the most three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs is nine.

Carter, Ray Allen, and Terry have done it.

Of all, Kobe Bryant didn't succeed in eight, and his record of 12 three-pointers was in the regular season.

The Rockets players also felt that they couldn't let Li Liang shoot three-pointers anymore, so Parsons didn't care about it later, just to prevent you from letting you shoot.

Taking this opportunity, Li Liang sent assists one after another, making the difference between the two sides even wider.

The Rockets' defense collapsed in the fourth quarter, and the huge gap in strength, as well as the big 0-3 deficit, made them rout.

Harden was already playing well tonight, diching out 10 assists and scoring 20 points of his own.

He has been insisting and said that he will not be replaced.

In the final period, Harden also led the Rockets to a wave of counterattacks, narrowing the gap to 10 points.

However, when Li Liang received Shi's pass in the middle of the fourth quarter with three minutes left in the fourth quarter and shot a three-pointer three steps from the three-point line, Harden's raised hand was lowered.

McHale called a final timeout, and Harden returned to the bench with a frustrated look on his face.

And the Lakers players stepped forward to hug Li Liang and congratulate him on hitting his eighth three-pointer.

Li Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the score, 113:100, Daju is gone!

"Goodbye Rocket, goodbye my youth."

Li Liang said goodbye to the rocket in his heart.
