Li Liang has not been on the field for a long time.

Reciting sutras on the court is harmful to one's IQ, and Li Liang doesn't want to read himself as a mentally retarded person for the sake of winning a few games.

But today is different, such a critical moment is worth Li Liang to pay some small sacrifices in IQ in exchange for major benefits.

As a player who is familiar with the "Dumb Sutra" and knocks on the wooden fish in the system to recite the scriptures when he has nothing to do, Li Liang is already quite familiar with the scriptures.

It's a profound book that teaches you how to deal with situations on the basketball court, not just to trick your opponents.

It's no wonder that the props were obtained from Duncan, you see, they were not the same as those obtained from Corvo.

Kobe Bryant is a Kodinger, and you never know if he's an angel or a devil until he shoots.

And Duncan has always been so stable that it doesn't require you to too much.

It seems that the props also reflect the characteristics and essence of the players, which Li Liang gradually realized in the process of use.

After taking Curry off the court, the Warriors fell back into passivity in the second quarter.

Without Curry, the Warriors' options on the offensive end have become similar to those of the Pacers, whoever has a good opportunity in front of him after getting the ball, he will hold the ball and attack, pass and attack again if he can't score, and then attack again, and then all the players will fight for rebounds in the frontcourt.

This is an obvious fighting style, and basically this will happen in the sixth and seventh games of the finals.

Crazy rebounding, crazy defense, crazy killing inside.

Of course, it's a little different now that the Warriors are going crazy to shoot threes.

In Curry's absence, Thompson single-handedly propped up the Warriors' three-point firepower from the outside.

He hit three three-pointers in the first quarter, and he hit two more three-pointers in the second quarter to help the Warriors hold the score.

On the Pacers' side, Li Liang should be the calmest person to play, he is not chaotic at all, controls the ball on the outside, stabilizes the team's offense, and commands with all his strength in defense, making the Pacers' fence more and more solid.

The Pacers' lead remained above 5 points, and at one point it was as close as 10 points, but Thompson's three-pointer and Iguodala's break-up break allowed the Warriors to maintain the gap and not let the score be stretched above 10 points.

The fans of Conseco are about to shout hoarse, and this is only the first half, comrades.

This is the craziest home fan Li Liang has experienced in the past three years, before in Los Angeles, the opponent was Miami twice, although it is also very enthusiastic now, but it is not as crazy as the Indians.

During the timeout, the Pacers' mascot Busser dog carried the Pacers' huge flag around the court, and the shouts of the audience were deafening, accompanied by the shouts of the DJ, and the coaches on both sides had to yell at the players when they were laying out their tactics.

Li Liang played completely as a team player in the first half, with a lot of passing, tackling, covering, and actively participating in the defense, and constantly boosting the team's morale, and the morale of the whole Pacers team can be said to be explosive.

Because many people are the first time, they touch the possibility of winning the championship for the first time, and that feeling of excitement is not comparable to other moments.

Kevin Garnett wasn't the first time, but he knew it was going to be his last chance, so he kept clapping, yelling, and cheering everyone on.

The game was intense from the beginning of the second quarter, and Curry didn't reappear until the last five minutes of the second quarter.

At this point, the score was 49:42, with the Pacers leading the Warriors by seven points.

Kerr knows that if Curry fouls again, he basically won't think about it tonight.

But Curry is not up, the Warriors' offense really can't hold up, and Thompson has lost its accuracy in three-point shots after being targeted by the Pacers-JR-Smith sticks to Thompson like a mad dog, letting Thompson break through into the interior and let Li Liang help defend.

Danny Granger has backed up the rebounding load, and he has put together six backcourt rebounds tonight to ease the defensive pressure on Li Liang.

As soon as the Warriors got on Curry, Bird immediately replaced George Hill, who had just gone down to rest for a long time.

Hill's restriction on Curry in the Finals this time has contributed a lot, not only on the defensive end, but Hill can even kill Curry on the offensive end.

As the MVP, Curry's failure to defend his life in the Finals shows that he still has some way to go.

In contrast, the Warriors do not have any player to defend Li Liang, because no one can say that they can do it, and they must fight wheels and wrap up with multiple people.

Multi-player defense is often a helpless choice, because it will lead to the team's defensive system being unstable, less resilient, and more risky to break down.

But there is no way, if you don't defend like this, you will be directly poked by Li Liang alone.

After Curry came on the court, he held his breath, and in the face of Hill's entanglement, he received the ball after continuous covers, dribbled behind his back to avoid Hill's defense, and forced a long-range three-point shot from the outside.

After scoring the goal, Curry clenched his fists and roared, venting his resentment.

And Li Liang's response came very quickly, the Pacers served quickly in the backcourt, Li Liang quickly went to the frontcourt, received the ball on the right side 45 degrees and directly made a super long three-point shot.

He caught an oversight in Thompson's defense and played an unstable footing.

Thompson is out of line, he is too tired, he has to give the team a life on the offensive end, and he still spends a lot of effort on the defensive end to deal with Li Liang.

It's only the second quarter, and it's a little unbearable.

The last three games on both sides have been very intense, especially after the Warriors used five smalls.

The power of the five small is indeed very strong, but it also consumes the physical energy of the players, and several forwards have to share part of their physical strength to card positions, grab rebounds, and make up defenses.

Originally, Bogut could have done these jobs very well, but his offense was too wasteful.

Then, in the first game, Kerr also made a 10-man rotation, and now it has become an eight-man rotation, and the playing time of each player has increased significantly.

Not everyone is like Li Liang, who is tired of coming to a bottle of Gatorade and resurrecting the immortals with full blood.

The Warriors' fitness declined quickly, but they could still hold on, and Thompson hit another three-pointer in the last minute of the second quarter, which also caused a foul on JR Smith!

Hit four points to win!

After Thompson hit a free throw, the score between the two sides in the first half was 55:51, and the gap of 8 points was directly chased by Thompson with an attack to only 4 points.

With strong fighting spirit and tenacity, the warriors are still struggling to support the tsunami in the Conceco Mountains, and are ready to deal a fatal blow to the opponent who is not determined.

The Pacers easily stretched the margin to 8 points, and this 4-point loss was very demoralizing.

At halftime, Li Liang encouraged the whole team and told everyone, "The last second half, this will be the last second half of our whole season, brothers, kill them, kill them!" Kill them and we'll have everything! Own a whole season and a whole summer! If we can't, you know what we're going to lose, imagine that I've never lost a championship, I can't imagine it, imagine for yourselves. I'm going to fight until the end of the game, and until then I'm not going to look at the score, I'm not going to care about anything else, I'm just going to play, I'm going to kill the opponent! ”

Li Liang usually rarely presses in games, but now he needs the strength of the whole team.

When it came to the pitch, Larry Bird made a rare appearance in a circle with all the players and said in his calm, cold voice: "You guys are the greatest team I've ever assembled, and I'm so proud of you." ”

Bird still didn't say anything exciting, blood-boiling, it was so faint, but it filled everyone's heart.

“Best team！” Everyone yelled.

……

The Pacers, who had a four-point lead, returned to the court in the third quarter and defended the Warriors tightly.

It was no longer JR Smith who defended Klay Thompson, but Li Liang - Li Liang who opened the golden shield.

The inside basket guard was temporarily weakened, and JR Smith and Granger stepped up to the inside position.

Li Liang completely snuffed out Thompson's firepower, followed him like a shadow, and his height and arm span were superior, which caused great interference to Thompson's shooting.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and tried to attack the interior, but Danny Granger and Smith gritted their teeth and resisted.

After Kerr replaced Azeli, Bird decisively let McGee come on, and McGee played three minutes and gave the Warriors three big hats.

In the offense, Li Liang broke through two consecutive pull-up jump shots to help the Pacers take a double-digit lead.

The Warriors are finally starting to slowly crumble.

If Thompson can still hit a three-pointer, he can give the Warriors a new life.

But Li Liang desperately blocked the eye, and at the same time, Curry, Iguodala, and Barnes failed to stand up on offense to give the Pacers a fatal blow.

Curry's hand was completely unnurtured, and he was annoyed by the foul and Hill's defense, and completely lost his rhythm.

The Pacers are starting to pull away from the score.

When the margin was stretched to 11 points, Kerr called a timeout.

The Warriors' current situation is somewhat similar to the Thunder in 2012, with great talent and a stronger team, but facing the experienced James, they were suddenly stunned.

With the talent and strength of the Thunder, they will not be taken away by the Heat 1:4 in the finals, especially in Miami, where they lost 3 away games in a row.

The Warriors may not be as talented as the Thunder, but the team is more mature than the Thunder, as evidenced by the regular season record.

But they encounter a monster who is even more experienced than James, but is actually only in the third year.

Li Liang played extremely team-based in this game, but he was keenly aware that this timeout would be a good opportunity to kill the Warriors.

Without the three-point shooting rate improvement post, Li Liang can still feel the ups and downs of his hand, and now, it is definitely an opportunity.

After the timeout, Kerr was hopeful that his team could play a little better and close the margin to within five points in the third quarter so they had a chance in the fourth quarter.

As long as they win this one and return to Auckland in Game 7, the situation will be completely different.

But when Li Liang finished his timeout, made a steal first, and made an easy layup under the basket, Kerr knew that things were not so simple.

Damn, as long as Bruce Lee is there, things will never be easy!

Immediately after, Curry finally split the ball to Iguodala and hit a three-pointer.

Immediately, Li Liang immediately returned the three-point shot to color.

Cole felt his heart beat a little faster, and he needed some quick-acting pills. Something seems to be coming.

That's right, there's something coming, Bruce Lee's sudden death.

The Warriors missed the offense again, and in the counterattack, Granger received a pass from Li Liang and hit a three-point shot.

Green attacked under the basket and was stealed by Smith, Li Liang went down quickly, faced the Warriors double siege, dribbled back to the three-point line, and hit quickly!

Familiar recipes, familiar tastes.

Cole felt a little short of breath,, is heart disease really coming?

Fans of the Conceco Arena saw the light of victory.

In the last attack of the third quarter, Li Liang held the ball outside, and the Warriors came up in advance to wrap up.

Li Liang didn't pass at all, he took two steps back, stood two meters away from the three-point line, and fired directly!

The Paris cannon in the NBA arena roared, and the board hit!

The goal pushed the atmosphere of Conseco to a high point.

With Green barely missing a three-point shot in the end, the score of the two sides became 90-73 at the end of the third quarter, and the margin became a 17-point deficit that was difficult to catch up.

For the Pacers, the championship is within reach.

By the time the fourth quarter began, there was no one sitting and watching, no one sitting.

Because you can't see at all when you're sitting, most people are standing, and then everyone has to stand up.

The worst thing was the spectators who were sitting behind the players' bench, they were in the best position, but as a result, Garnett, McGee and others all stood and watched, and the people behind couldn't stand and watch.

But it doesn't matter, time is slipping out little by little, and the Pacers are getting closer and closer to the championship.

They have won three championships in the ABA, they are the state of basketball, the 70s was the most glorious period of Indiana basketball, professional basketball, college basketball blossomed, high school basketball is famous in the United States.

40 years have passed, and the people here have waited too long and suppressed it for too long.

They deserve a championship, and they're always just one superstar away.

The Warriors have collapsed across the board, and this young player has all the ingredients and qualities to be a champion, but they lacked a bit of luck in this year's Finals.

MVP Curry didn't give up, and he could still hit three-pointers.

But the man in the No. 28 jersey was also shooting three-pointers.

He scored another 40 points.

The Warriors' players suddenly don't want to resist, because the result of resisting again may be to achieve another 50 points for Li Liang.

After scoring 40 points, Li Liang's average score in the finals came to 40 points, including two unprecedented 50 points.

He also dished out 7.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 3.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game.

This is a staggering statistic, and of course, a comparison will show that it is still not as good as Michael Jordan, who won three consecutive championships in 1993......

Mainly because, in the two games lost to the Warriors, Li Liang's data was slightly mediocre, and Li Liang had a lot of indescribable roles that could not be shown with data.

And his shooting percentage is higher and his efficiency is higher, which is extremely difficult to surpass Jordan in this regard.

Moreover, he was only in the third grade, and in his own words, "I was still a child!" ”

With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the margin was stretched to 20 points, and Kerr replaced the main team, and the game went into garbage time.

Finally, the Conceco Arena began to celebrate.

Li Liang hit two more free throws to wipe his score to 42 points, and then Bird replaced him.

The audience was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause and cheers, and many Indiana fans shouted "Once again!" (One more season!) ）”

Rinima, do you know that Lao Tzu is leaving? I've won a championship for you, can't you say something good?

Li Liang pretended not to hear it, and went down to hug his teammates.

For Li Liang, this season's championship is indeed a bit difficult.

It's a little harder than the two championships in Los Angeles anyway.

To describe it, it is, a little sweat.

Therefore, Li Liang's mood for winning the championship was better than the previous two times, and he was more excited.

In contrast, there's nothing worse than seeing an opponent win the championship on the road.

The Warriors' bench became the only sad place in all of Conseco.

When the game ran out and the buzzer sounded, all the Pacers players rushed onto the court.

Reporters and staff poured in, and it was the final drama of the 2014-2015 season.

Li Liang raised his arms high, this natural winner, a winner who has never let the champion go by the side since 2012, shouted the famous phrase in his mouth, "Champion!" Champions! ”
