Warriors players are indeed still adjusting and adapting.

Not every player is like Li Liang, who has experienced a hundred battles and has no stage fright in the finals.

There's no way, Li Liang's playoff experience has seen too many big scenes.

In reality, there are two finals, and some of the key playoff battles in the history of the system have been played over and over again.

When these players on the NBA field were not even embryos, Li Liang was already trying his best to win and glory on the NBA court, and you can't compare this mentality.

Therefore, Li Liang can shoot in the three-point contest as if he was training in the training hall, and in the finals, he can shoot as if he was in a no-man's land.

This is not a gap in strength, but a gap in realm.

Many people slowly realized that Li Liang was not the strongest in terms of strength, but his on-the-spot state, psychological quality and tactical literacy were really outstanding.

No way, that's the power of the system dad.

Of course, the discomfort of the Warriors players is only temporary, and they can finish first in the regular season and go all the way to the Finals, but they are not guaranteed.

The Warriors quickly played a beautiful fit.

Green responded with the ball in the high post, and Barnes came out to catch the ball and passed it to Bogut, who was in the low post on the left.

It felt like Bogut was going to make a low post single, but on the weak side, Curry suddenly made a reverse run and cut into the basket.

Li Liang played against Green in the high post, and Granger was taken away by Barnes in a running position, and the basket was empty.

Bogut looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Curry, and after Curry faked to shake off Hill, he made an easy one-handed throw and hit the board to score two points.

Very good pass-and-cut coordination, in the league's main blocking and pick-and-roll, the Warriors' pass-cutting is really unique.

Rao is like this, Li Liang still has to taunt Curry, "Why don't you deduct one for an empty basket?" ”

Just kidding, if you make a mistake by deducting one, you will also deduct one.

Curry smiled and ignored Li Liang at all.

This is a huge challenge for the Pacers' defense, which they have never faced in the East with such tactical literacy.

Whether it's the Bulls or the Cavaliers, to be honest, there's basically no good way to face the Pacers' tight human marking.

Throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Pacers have been very solid defensively, which is the fundamental reason why they have only lost two games in the three-game series.

Another reason, of course, is Li Liang's extreme thirst for victory and caution, never letting go of any chance to win.

Three playoff trips, the Lakers, Clippers, and Pacers, in the divisional series, have only lost two games a year.

This kind of dominance, you don't have to change Jordan, after all, Jordan doesn't change jobs.

And the Warriors' offense is still quite restrained against man-to-man defense.

At the same time, the Warriors' defensive intensity also went up, the whole court shouted "defence", Hill broke through with the ball, was almost cut off, and then passed to JR Smith on the wing, Smith held the ball and wanted to break through, but in the face of Klay Thompson's defense felt like it couldn't break through.

At this time, Li Liang started to go around, took the ball from Smith's hand, took a step in the bottom corner of the left side of the ball, and then made a quick stop jump shot...... Again!

At 16:16, Li Liang had already scored 16 points in the opening.

The Pacers had no one to score except for Li Liang.

But the Warriors couldn't stop Li Liang from scoring points at all, and his opening state was so good that it exploded.

This goal was kind of a shot that exposed the weaknesses in his defense.

The footwork can keep up, but the height and arm span are not enough to cause little interference to the shot.

The defensive style is on the inside, and the outside defensive skills are not enough, so there is no good way to break through and stop Li Liang.

Cole was pacing back and forth on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, all he could do now was wait for Li Liang's hand to feel cold.

Sometimes in the face of a superstar outburst, you have to pray for a bit of luck.

Kerr's head is also quite iron, anyway, he just doesn't want to wrap up, he doesn't want to use triple defense, he just wants to rely on offense to fight against Li Liang and the Pacers.

Green then drew a defensive foul on Granger on offense, making both free throws.

The Warriors' offensive efficiency is clearly picking up, and their offensive options and coordination are completely different from those of teams in the East, making the Pacers' players a little uncomfortable.

Then, Bogut made another steal in defense, and Li Liang's pass to McGee was recognized.

Bogut's defensive efficiency in the first quarter was really high.

But Curry's ball-handling counterattack was inconclusive, and his high-throw layup after hitting the basket was interfered with by McGee and missed.

Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound and counterattacked, and made a long pass to JR Smith, who broke through to the layup and turned it off.

Klay Thompson grabbed the rebound, advanced to the frontcourt with the ball himself, and made a step-back jumper that turned around after getting to the basket.

The difficulty was too high, and I still didn't get in.

It was Li Liang's rebound, and he made a long pass to the front court again, this time Hill received the ball and shot a 45-degree three-point jumper on the left side - but the basket was not touched, and it bounced off the rebound and was picked up by the Warriors player.

And the Warriors counterattacked, and Curry's ultra-long three-point shot on the left side did not score......

Li Liang was speechless when he saw it, can you give me some strength?

That's it? None of you go in?

In fact, except for Li Liang, everyone on the field did not open it now, and they were all nervous.

The other four Pacers are tighter than the Warriors players, and Hill's shooting movements are all deformed, and the ball knows that it is out of order as soon as he shoots.

Seeing that the two sides could not score, and the Pacers did not score except for Li Liang, Bird called a timeout.

With an 8-point lead, the opening five minutes are basically "Li Liang teaches you to play the finals".

Bird called a timeout, but it was mainly Li Liang who was on the bench, and then Kevin Garnett added on the sidelines.

The two of them teased one after the other, educating the walkers and the others.

"Attack the basket, if you don't feel sure about the shot, make a foul. Be tough, be tough, don't dodge, it's the finals, dodging won't let you avoid damage, it will only make your opponent not get damage! ”

"He's right, he's right, be fierce guys!"

After the timeout, there were no changes to the line-ups of both sides.

On the outside of the Pacers, Granger missed a jumper with the ball, Li Liang grabbed the rebound in the front court and passed the ball, and then organized the offense.

Hill broke through, gave the ball to Smith in the bottom corner, Smith burst through the baseline, split the ball, McGee took the ball, and the layup still missed......

It seems that this cross talk is not good enough, and it doesn't work!

The Warriors counterattacked, Curry passed straight to Bogut under the basket, and Bogut distributed the ball to Barnes in the bottom right corner.

Barnes makes a three-point shot!

Bogut's performance in the first quarter was nothing short of a pillar center.

may be because Li Liang's fist was opened, Bogut is indeed excellent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

But Li Liang immediately fired back, and after a double cover in the high post, a Baifo hit the basket from the middle and made a layup that caused Bogut's foul.

Bogut almost slapped Li Liang out of the Oracle Arena.

Li Liang got up from the ground and glared at Bogut fiercely, stood on the free throw line, and hit both free throws.

At 18:11, the difference came to 7 points.

At this point, the Pacers' players began to find their senses.

First was Hill, and on defense was Curry, a big-hat schoolboy, and a volleyball big-hat fanned his turnaround jumper.

It's not easy to be fanned by Hill's big hat.

Li Liang got the ball, Granger hurried, this time he received Li Liang's pass without the slightest hesitation, no longer thinking about dodging the defense, but rushed in with his head and crashed towards Bogut!

Bogut had already committed a foul on his back, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, and Granger scored a one-arm dunk!

Immediately, Curry assisted Thompson's mid-range jumper, and Li Liang also passed to McGee after blocking and dismantling, McGee burst into the basket and slammed the dunk with both hands!

Li Liang is right, if you rush forward bravely, the opponent will avoid you.

You retreat and try to dodge, but your opponent pounces fiercely.

Bogut was afraid of fouls, and his defensive moves obviously didn't let go at the beginning.

Walkers are a big boost in confidence.

The Warriors' cooperation is still very smooth, with continuous transfer of the ball from the outside, Barnes breaks through the bottom line, and the ball is given to Green, who cuts in.

Green didn't have a chance, and turned and sent the ball to Bogut who was following in the middle, but Bogut's throw was hatted by McGee!

The ball accidentally touched the Pacers player and went out of the baseline, and it was still the Warriors' possession.

But this time the defense was very successful, and no matter how much the Warriors moved from the outside, the defense was not out of position.

McGee even gave away a big hat, which made Bogut, who had performed well before and was quite arrogant, disgraced.

Taking advantage of this dead-ball opportunity, Kerr made a personnel change, replacing Harris Barnes with Iguodala.

Green can't be allowed to defend Li Liang anymore, and Iguodala needs to pull out of the horse.
