Li Liang appeared in the opening position as usual in the fourth position.

Hibbert took the lead in the scrum and the Pacers launched their first offense.

At the beginning, Li Liang was still the same as before, responding to his teammates in the high position, and passing the ball to Copeland who cut inside in the middle.

Copeland received the ball with his left hand and made a layup, easily scoring the first point of the game.

The Celtics also scored quickly.

Rondo controlled the ball past half court, and Bass covered Bradley, pocketed out, received a pass from Rondo, and hit a mid-range jumper.

The Celtics still tend to be more traditional in their positional offensive play, with a lot of fine small coordination.

In contrast, the Pacers' offense has become more and more open under the leadership of Li Liang.

After Li Liang received Stephenson's pass in the high position, he tested it and made a three-point shot directly.

But it didn't hit because Rondo came over next to him and interfered, causing the ball to go just a little bit wide.

Coach Stevens set up a special "interference defense" tactic for Li Liang tonight.

As long as Li Liang gets the ball, the defensive attention of the nearby Celtics players will be divided into Li Liang.

Judge and react according to Li Liang's next move.

Passing, shooting or breaking, in short, Li Liang has always been locked by two or three Celtic players.

No matter what he does, he will face layers of defensive traps and distractions.

The Celtics won't be easy to pack, and Stevens doesn't expect to curb Li Liang's scoring by wrapping up.

He knows that the bag will only make Li Liang more handy, and he will pass the ball to organize.

Jeff Green then hit a three-pointer from the outside line.

The Pacers, after a series of passes, gave Hibbert a small hook to his left hand after turning in the low post.

The Celtics are short on the inside, and Hibbert can still bully and bully the small inside.

The Celtics' response was to use an inside mid-range jumper to hit Hibbert's defensive blind spots.

Brandon Buss, Sallinger, and Olynyk all have mid-range jumpers, and Rondo keeps feeding the two with cannonballs.

The offensive rhythm of both sides is relatively brisk, but it is not the kind of wild fast attack, counterattack, and advancement, but continuous small cooperation, blocking and dismantling, reverse running, air cutting, and almost no singles.

As the game progressed, the defensive intensity of both sides increased, and the cooperation between the two sides became more and more fluid.

Rondo sorted out the Celtics' offense very well, and constantly commanded his teammates to take special care of Li Liang on the outside defense.

Rondo is a "coach" player, shooting is his weakness, but he has a sharp, perceptive brain.

On the pitch he has a strong sense of observation, both knowing his team's tactics and the opponent's tactics.

On both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Rondo can be that commander.

The Celtics quickly kept the Pacers at bay offensively and defensively.

The Pacers still had a problem in the first few games, and their hands were not hot.

Li Liang used the space created by his defensive attraction, and his teammates couldn't get the ball into the basket.

At this level of competition in the NBA, the individual ability of the players is crucial.

With the same chance, 0.1 second gap, some players get the ball and get it into the basket, and some are always a little bit off.

It is this little point that determines the trend of the game and even the final outcome of the game.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Celtics took a 17-13 lead, and Larry Bird called a timeout to make adjustments when he saw that his team's offense could not play coherently.

Hibbert was replaced by Scola and needless to say, Li Liang was finally going to play as a center forward.

Li Liang hit just one three-pointer in the first half of the first quarter.

The first time he played in steel, it took a process of adaptation.

After the five-piece set of Iron Body is draped all over the body, the overall strength is increased by 30%!

Li Liang felt that his heart was equipped with a nuclear power pump, and his whole body was full of brute force.

He had been controlling his power before the timeout, and he was afraid that he would accidentally crash out and kill his opponent.

Of course, it's just an unaccustomary thing.

Slowly, Li Liang has adapted and can better retract and release freely.

After the timeout ended, the court was back on the court, and the Celtics did not rotate personnel.

Stevens was pleased with the performance of the players.

The game continued, the ball in the front court, Li Liangdou came out to receive the ball, and the outside line faced the defender again - Bradley.

Stevens knows that Jeff Green can't prevent Li Liang, so it is better to use the short Bradley to interfere with Li Liang's offensive line.

Bradley's defense in front is very good, the standing position and card line are very accurate, and the cooperation with Rondo, Green and others is very good, basically it is to arrange a pocket for Li Liang that follows him like a shadow, and the pocket is free to retract.

Then, on the first ball after the pause, Li Liang attacked with the ball.

The pocket was broken.

That's right, in the middle, an acceleration, broken.

Bradley was still looking behind him, paying attention to the positions of the other players to judge how he should stand, Li Liang suddenly started and crashed towards Bradley.

The speed is not particularly fast, Bradley greeted him, he knew that his figure and strength were not as good as Li Liang, but Li Liang's breakthrough was not very strong, as long as he stuck to it and squeezed it inside, the inside line Olynyk would come to help defend.

But it didn't stick to it, and it was bounced off......

was bounced away, and then Olynyk was a step slower to assist in the defense, Li Liang crashed into the basket, and then jumped up lightly, threw with one hand, and hit the board.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and blew for Olynyk's blocking foul.

Olynyk threw his hands at the referee, saying that he was wronged.

"You're too slow, you're coming from the side, you've definitely committed a foul."

Li Liang reminded Olynyk not to struggle anymore, you are blocking fouls.

Olynyk didn't have a problem and went over to talk to Bradley.

Bradley said bluntly, "Didn't pay attention, didn't pay attention, my problem." ”

But he was beating the drums in his heart, how could he feel that Bruce Lee's impact was so strong, which made him think of another person - LeBron James.

Although it is inferior to James in terms of speed and impact energy, the moment it was just close, it felt that the strength was really strong.

James is strong in explosiveness, and his static power is also top-notch, but there is a gap with some big ass insiders.

And "Little Bull" McGinnis often plays power forward.

Li Liangjia hit a free throw, and the difference was chased to 1 point.

Then the Celtics missed an offensive outside jumper.

The Pacers are completely emptying Rondo's point, you have the ability to shoot, and the shot is yours.

Anyway, it's a gamble, or a bet with a lot of wins.

The result is a "clang" miss.

Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound and slowly dribbled to push the counterattack.

Li Liang felt that his whole body was filled with a sense of elasticity, which was the increased explosive power in his muscles.

After halftime, he waved his hand at Scola, came over with a block and dismantled cover, accelerated, and rushed straight in the middle!

There are no fancy skills, and Li Liang can't either, just rush!

Olynyk came up again, but it was still slow!

There was another side impact, but it was useless, unable to stop Li Liang from breaking through the blockade, this time he chose to go to the basket, the ball turned twice on the hoop and fell into the net pocket.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle again, and Olynyk fouls again!

It's another three-point penalty for a penalty.

Stevens scratched his head on the sidelines, what's going on?

Stevens called a timeout, and the score was overtaken in an instant, and it seemed that the so-called pocket formation he deployed had no effect on Li Liang at all.

The reason why he didn't break it just now was that he just didn't want to.

And on the bench of the Pacers, Bird frowned and felt incredible when he saw Li Liang's "savage" scoring method of two consecutive balls.

He turned his head and asked Brown, "Mike, did Bruce Lee go through any special training?" ”

Brown nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's special training." ”

"What special training, can you tell me?"

"No, it's a secret."

"Shit, secret, I don't think you even know."

Bird saw Brown at a glance, and Brown didn't refute it, in fact, he knew, I let him practice!
