Chapter 648: Mirror Response

Bird pressed Li Liang to the bench for several minutes and didn't let him play at the start of the fourth quarter.

In Li Liang's absence, Al Jefferson inside shot West in the low post at the beginning of the fourth quarter, turned around and faked to shake off West, and while making a layup, he caused West's foul.

After hitting a free throw, the Rockets chased the score to 76:71 and hit a three-point shot, only 5 points short.

Subsequently, the Rockets relied on tenacious defense to defend the Pacers for 24 seconds.

Stephenson finally had to force a three-point shot of his own, and the ball flew over the rebound.

But the Rockets' own offense didn't work, and Josh Smith shot a mid-range shot, resulting in a three-and-three miss.

McHale looked at Josh's mid-range and shook his head slightly on the sidelines, which was really explosive.

Josh's shooting, you have to say he can't do it, he really has this ability, and sometimes he surprises the team's offense.

If you want to say that he can do it, then the iron is also mad, and it is said that the big Van Gundy was blown up by Josh.

The Pacers counterattacked, and after a pass, CJ Myers hit a three-point shot from the outside.

And the Rockets relied on Terry's three-pointer to close the score again.

The second lineup on both sides played a bit tepidly.

The Rockets are chasing points, but the offense is not coherent.

The Pacers are maintaining the advantage, but there is no way to extend the score.

The Pacers' bench isn't bad, but it's not very strong, it's solid, but it's lacking explosiveness.

There is no such thing as a real bench bandit, so when it comes to the playoffs, it will definitely depend on the performance of the main players.

The two sides battled all the way to 82:76, and the two sides entered the official timeout, and the Pacers still led by six points.

After this pause, the two sides are definitely about to enter a decisive battle.

Harden and Li Liang are back on the court, and the two actors will face off in the final showdown.

Li Liang did not replace Scola but point guard Sloan.

Bird is asking Li Liang to score, instead of blindly defending on the inside.

Harden's task is the same as that of Li Liang.

The two began their most thrilling battle of the season so far.

On the first offense after the official timeout, Harden stepped back from the outside line and singled Stephenson, and forced a three-point shot on the right side.

After the goal, Harden pointed to the ceiling of the arena and felt his touch coming.

Li Liang rested for a few minutes, took off the [Iron Body] after re-entering the field, blocked and dismantled Stephenson on the outside, and took a direct three-point shot after receiving the ball, and also hit!

This was Li Liang's second three-pointer of the game.

Li Liang didn't score 14 points until the beginning of the fourth quarter, counting these three points.

Quite little.

But he still has ten minutes to raise that number, more than double it.

Harden came to feel it, and after a high-post consecutive crotch dribble, he stepped back and hit a mid-range jumper.

Li Liang didn't have such fancy dribbling, he received a pass from Stephenson again, and made a quick stop jump shot in the middle, which was also a two-point shot.

Li Liang seemed to be making a mirror response to Harden.

Harden got into shape.

Stephenson was singled out again one-on-one on the outside, this time using the crossover's change of direction to get past Finson, and after hitting the basket in the middle, he pushed past Scola and made a left-handed layup.

The Pacers served quickly in the backcourt, Li Liang received the ball and went down quickly, outside the three-point line, a Baifo accelerated past Ariza, dribbled with his left hand and burst into the basket.

Josh didn't hang up in one breath and almost had a heart attack.

He was already full of energy to rush up to block Li Liang's layup, and NMB's jumper was another jumper!

Li Liang is a jumper, so I won't go to the basket.

The margin was still 6 points, and Harden continued to attack.

Now, the Pacers don't wrap up Harden either, and you can shoot if you have the ability.

Finson was also energetic, and he had to guard against Harden, but he couldn't prevent it, and he was fouled by the referee.

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

Li Liang dribbled across the halfway line, outside the three-point line, West's blocking, Ariza squeezed through the defense, and prevented Li Liang's three-point shot.

Li Liang chose to break through directly in the middle, and after hitting near the three-second zone, he made another emergency stop jump shot and hit it!

Li Liang's 45-degree board-and-jump shot on both sides of the close-range is perfect, which is unique in the league.

And Harden's step back is also going to be unique in the league.

Still played Finson one-on-one, and broke through with consecutive dribbles, but this time he chose to step back and pull, another mid-range jumper, and hit again!

Harden has scored 11 straight points.

No matter how many points he scores, Li Liang will not let it go.

Granger's outside shot missed, Li Liang grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, feintted to play Josh, turned around and walked to the bottom line to the basket, jumped up slightly, and scored with a two-handed dunk.

Harden's hand felt hot, and Li Liang felt that something was about to shine in his chest: yes, it was the medal of the garbage king.

Once the medal shines, it means that Li Liang will fully enter his own realm.

Then Harden's offense finally missed, and the three-point shot on the left side did not go in.

This is too bad, Harden has scored in a row, but when he looks at the score, he is still 6 points behind.

Because the rocket can't stop Li Liang.

At this time, Li Liang decided to use the [Three-point Shooting Rate Improvement Post], and after running continuously, he received West's ball in the bottom corner of the left corner, and made a three-point shot, hit!

Harden broke it, but Li Liang continued!

McHale hesitated to call a timeout, and Harden waved no.

After serving in the backcourt, Harden slowly moved across the halfcourt.

But as soon as halfway through, he turned into a fierce boar and rushed towards the Pacers' three-second zone!

A lift of both hands is equivalent to an arch of the boar's fangs, causing West's defensive foul.

Went to the free throw line, made both free throws, and scored 13 points.

But it didn't work, for the rocket, the terrible thing had already begun.

Li Liang dribbled the ball past half the court, his chest was already shining, and the Order of the Heavenly King was lit up.

Li Liang will not hesitate anymore, and the LOGO will directly shoot at three points!

The ball seemed to whistle through the very center of the net!

The fans at the scene, McHale, and Harden were dumbfounded.

Conventional operation, routine operation, this product is hi again.

At this time, McHale must call a timeout, Harden's state is very hot, but Bruce Lee on the opposite side is even more hot.

A pause interrupted the effect of Li Liang's promotion sticker, but the Order of the Heavenly King did not dim because of this.

Instead, the game continued, and the medal became brighter when Li Liang began to defend Harden head-on.

He steals directly from Harden, then runs across the half court with the ball and dunks with one hand!

This kind of ball for Kobe Bryant will definitely chase after him, even if he fouls, he will pull people down.

Harden didn't, it's not that he didn't want to chase, he couldn't run, he couldn't catch up.

The situation is very bad for the rockets, and time is running out of time.

But Harden has his own way of coping, facing Li Liang after the change of defense again, Harden retreats sideways, feints a click, and then jumps to shoot three points.

Li Liang pounced on the defense and bumped into Harden's arm, but the ball still flew into the basket.

Score four!

Harden fell to the ground, fists clenched.

"I touched your arm, why did you fall down?" Li Liang asked puzzled.

"I'm a whole." Harden replied.

is impeccable, and in answering questions, Harden is better than Li Liang.

The four points were successful, but they were still quite behind, and there were still three minutes left on the clock.

Of course, Li Liang will not give the Rockets and Harden a chance.

It doesn't matter if you enter, I will enter too.

The Rockets, of course, changed their defensive strategy and began to flank Li Liang.

But Li Liang was not afraid of the pinch attack at all, because his range was too far, and he began to activate the attack mode one step away from the three-point line.

The risk is very, very high, because it means that from the three-point line to the three-second zone, there will be a large piece of space.

As a result, the rocket's pinching shot hesitated, followed by Li Liang's single-block cover, and he hit a three-point shot directly from the outside.

The glowing Li Liang is unstoppable.

Harden's burst of form doesn't work.

Harden scored 20 points alone in the fourth quarter and missed just two shots.

But Li Liang scored 26 points alone! Only one goal was conceded!

Trailing by six points, Harden chased the points like crazy, and at the last look, he was 12 points behind......

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Harden was a little confused.

He scored 34 points in the game, but he still lost to Li Liang's 37 points.

The two dedicated a thrilling matchup in the fourth quarter, which still ended in Li Liang's victory.

Harden rarely walked off the court without shaking hands with his opponent after the game.

Obviously, Li Liang's mirror response in the fourth quarter made Harden feel very hurt.

The whole game was pressed everywhere, defending, making fouls, shooting points, including free throws.

may be stronger than Li Liang's ability to answer questions, but Li Liang is the one who asks questions.

And after Li Liang won this game, the subtitle appeared in front of his eyes: Congratulations, you have a chance to draw a lucky wheel.
