Westbrook may be the second brother who is too happy to see the third brother today, and he is really pulled down a horizontal line.

He wanted to dunk the ball so much, he wanted to hit that Beverley kid too much.

The result? Jump early!

But his bounce is really powerful, and he can buckle it.

If it is replaced by a layup, this ball can also be scored.

The ball flew far and finally fell into Harden's hands.

Harden made a super long pass directly to Howard, who was still under the basket.

Howard turned around and single-handed is a violent dunk! It also caused a defensive foul on Li Liang.

Li Liang really has no choice, let him cap Howard to split the buckle with all his might, it really can't be done.

This time, Howard added a free throw and hit it 2+1.

Originally, the Thunder made a steal and counterattacked to extend the opportunity to take the lead.

In the end, it turned out to be 2+1 for the Rockets, and the Rockets returned a 7:0 to the Thunder.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with tactics, sometimes it's just luck.

The Thunder reintroduced Adams, and Li Liang continued to play on the court.

He kind of understood, and it was estimated that the coaching staff and management were going to use him to death.

It doesn't matter, just use it.

The score was 41:37, and the Thunder led the Rockets by four points.

Li Liang received the ball in a high position, and it was Jones who defended him.

McHale asked Jones to defend against Li Liang, but there was really no way.

The two old classmates, former teammates, have indeed become worse and worse after entering the NBA.

In college, Li Liang was a substitute for Jones.

In the NBA, Li Liang is already a superstar, while Jones is still struggling on the bench.

He once started for a while with the Rockets, but every time he played well against weak teams, he was thin when he played strong teams.

People give the nickname of the little prince of abuse, eating cakes is a good hand, and it is too soft to be a hard bridge and a hard horse.

Now that he is facing Li Liang, he really has no confidence at all.

In four years, Li Liang has really changed too much.

It's so big that Jones can't imagine, how can this guy be so strong?

After Li Liang observed, he held the ball and rushed at Jones, but Jones couldn't resist it at all, and retreated several steps in a row.

Li Liang made another pull-up jump shot and hit it from mid-range.

This move has been practiced by Li Liang since the Clippers period, and it can be regarded as his safest way to play singles.

The Rockets immediately hit the Thunder to chase down, serve super fast, and Harden burst with the ball in the middle.

Once Harden is in the basket, you basically can't get close.

As soon as you get close, he's going to rub it on you and make a foul free throw.

Not to mention scoring, it will also cost you a foul.

That's the smart way to play modern basketball.

As a result, Adams didn't pay attention to this and went up to help defend, and Harden leaned into Adams and threw the ball into the air.

The toss seemed random, but it was actually telling the referee, "I'm a shot." ”

Besides, sometimes with a bit of luck, maybe you throw it in? Isn't it 2+1 when you throw it in?

Adams is confused, Lao Tzu has fouled again?

I didn't move, did I?

That's right, it's because you didn't move, you fouled.

If you moved, took two steps back, and were freed up under the basket, wouldn't you be fouled?

Harden stepped to the free-throw line and hit both free throws again.

Harden was out of form early today because he knew that if he wasn't out of shape now, he might not have a chance in the second half.

The performance of the Thunder triumvirate tonight should be said to be ordinary, and they didn't explode.

Westbrook doesn't talk about it, all kinds of strange operations, I don't know how to do it.

Durant hasn't touched the ball much since the start of the first quarter.

It was either given to Huo Huo by Westbrook, or snatched by Li Liang.

This ball is all on the field for a walk.

Harden hit both free throws, and immediately, Westbrook broke through and distributed the ball to Li Liang in the high post.

Li Liang made another mid-range jumper and still hit.

Now the middle distance has become a very important means of scoring for Li Liang.

The Thunder hold a four-point advantage.

At the same time, Li Liang looked up at the scoreboard schedule, and it seemed that he had been playing for a long time!

Just when Harden made a free throw, Li Liang thought he would rest for a while.

Who knew that Donovan had no intention of letting him come down and rest at all.

Come on, use me to death, won't you?

It doesn't matter, since Li Liang was given this opportunity, Li Liang would not take a walk on the field.

At most, it's a walk when defending, and then it's better to play on the offensive end.

Swiping data is also a part of modern basketball.

On the Rockets' side, Beverley missed a three-point shot, and Li Liang grabbed a backcourt rebound.

Westbrook quickly counter-attacked and gave Li Liang a plug in the middle.

Li Liang received the ball and dribbled, this time he did not use a stop-and-go jump shot, but hit the defender directly!

Jones was rubbed and the referee's whistle blew for Jones' foul.

Li Liang doesn't learn the good things, but the bad things learn very quickly.

Standing on the free throw line and hitting both free throws, Li Liang also made a foul.

Immediately after, Li Liang surrounded Harden with Durant in the high post, forcing Harden to make a pass error - Harden played for too long.

After breaking the ball, Li Liang held the ball himself and killed the basket in one go.

Harden's gambling steal was unsuccessful, and was dodged by Li Liang, and the front was flat.

Li Liang has a classic Karl Malone left-handed dunk behind his ear!

The energy center is jubilant!

The Thunder pulled the score away again.

The Rockets are a bit overwhelmed, and the main two Harden and Howard have been on the court a little too long.

McHale finally called a timeout and replaced Harden and Howard.

And Li Liang also asked Donovan, "Can I rest for a while?" If you don't let me rest again, I'll ask my boss to raise my salary. ”

Donova knew that this playing time was enough, and the effect was achieved, giving Durant enough time to rest.

Don't look at Durant's time on the court, but he rested while playing, and he didn't work hard.

He can't get the ball on the offensive end, and he is not the main defensive force on the defensive end, and defending against a fixed-point shooter like Ariza, isn't he just like resting on the bench.

And he is resting in an idle state, and his hands are not easy to get cold, which is very good.

Li Liang finally got off the stage and rested for a while.

Unexpectedly, Donovan said: "Rest for two minutes, and I'll let you go later." ”

Li Liang nodded, thinking, Thunder, you have finally understood, I came here for a one-year use period, and it will be wasted if I don't use it too much.

……

At the end of the second quarter, Li Liang and his teammates played the last three minutes.

The Thunder ended the first half with a six-point lead over the Rockets at 60:54.

Li Liang shot 7-of-11 and 4-of-4 free throws in the first half, cutting 22, which can be said to be very efficient.

Of course, because of Westbrook's miraculous 2-of-8 shooting and Durant's 3 shots, the Thunder only led by 6 points in the first half.

Li Liang's efficiency is still so amazing, in the efficiency rankings, he has surpassed James and has become synonymous with efficiency.

However, at halftime, Li Liang pulled Mike Brown aside and asked, "Mike, did you come up with the idea to let Donovan increase my playing time?" Don't even discuss it with me? My leg is not a leg? ”

In the NBA, some big-name stars will discuss with the star if they want to increase their playing time, especially with his health team.

And Li Liang doesn't have a health team because he's too healthy.

Brown hurriedly said: "No, it's not me, I don't, I'm just... It's just that everyone discussed it and felt that your previous playing time was too short to really play your strength, and letting you play a little longer can help you have better statistics and win the MVP. ”

As a man who has "helped" James win two MVPs, Mike Brown has a lot of experience in how to make his leading players win MVPs.

Speaking of MVP, Li Liang is still very excited, a sixth man, an MVP, fish and bear's paw, he wants both.

"Don't take it as an example, if there is any change in the future, remember to notify me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, it's a big deal to let you be the head coach in the future, and I will assist you."

"That's what you said."

"Of course! That's what I said! ”
