Chapter 736: It's Not That Simple

The footage of Li Liang making a layup to beat the Warriors at the last moment quickly made headlines on major American TV stations.

NBA officials have lost track of how this is the first time Bruce Lee has dominated sports headlines.

Now Xiao Hua must be very entangled, on the one hand, Li Liang's phenomenal performance has expanded the influence of basketball in the United States.

On the other hand, Li Liang's presence has a good chance of leading to the NBA's shrinkage in the U.S. home market — which is almost predictable, as most Americans don't want to see an American league dominated by Chinese players.

Some young, open-minded fans may love Bruce Lee, especially the group of people who are influenced by the Internet.

Li Liang's birth and impact on the three consecutive championships is simply exciting.

However, many local, conservative middle-aged and elderly fans, some fans who value tradition very much, may feel that "one generation is not as good as the next", and these people are the invisible main force of NBA consumption.

Of course, there is also a foreseeable situation that the overseas market, especially the Chinese market, will be further expanded.

So from a business point of view, Xiao Hua is very entangled now. It's just that he didn't know that Li Liang was thinking about bringing down the NBA in the future, and it was in a way he couldn't think of.

After Li Liang defeated the Warriors in the second game, many Internet websites on the Chinese side directly collapsed, and the servers went down.

This stunner not only took away the victory of this game, but also almost made Li Liang's third championship ring about to be worn on his hand.

With a 2-0 lead on the road and a return to Indianapolis in the next game, the question for the Warriors now is whether they will be swept away.

They really have to think about it and prepare.

was blasted by a three-point shot in the first game, and was killed in the second game, and the psychological trauma is really not ordinary.

At the post-game press conference, Curry jumped out almost word by word when he was interviewed.

Obviously he was very, very frustrated, so frustrated that he didn't want to talk.

And Cole felt that he could take out the post-game interview video of the last game and replay it, and it is estimated that the audience would not be able to distinguish it.

As for the Pacers' post-game press conference, needless to say, the cross talk started again.

This time, there was one more person who participated in the press conference - Mike Brown, who praised Li Liang's stinky feet.

With a big win or a stunner, the Pacers took a 2-0 lead, and they had never come so close to a championship.

After this game, some media people have begun to crown Li Liang in advance, saying that this is Bruce's 1993.

When Michael Jordan won three consecutive championships in 1993, they met the then No. 1 Phoenix Suns and MVP Charles Barkley in the Finals.

In the Suns' two home courts, Jordan and the Bulls directly gave the Suns a 2:0 victory in the MVP.

Although Barkley and the Suns resisted desperately, the 0:2 disadvantage was too big after all, and it was a pity that Jordan's first triple championship was achieved.

Li Liang's current situation is very similar, with a big score of 2:0 ahead, and on his way to competing for the championship three times, no team can even force him to tie seven.

In fact, before the finals, Li Liang used the system tool to predict that the score he got was a 3:4 loss to the Warriors......

This shows that the strength of the Warriors is really strong, and the system is not optimistic about the Pacers.

However, Li Liang's plug-in is really fierce, before the last attack, he directly used the [Ball Blind Identifier] to steal Curry's dribble, and then used the hand of God to make a left-handed layup, who do you say can withstand this.

It's a solid step towards being defeated 3:4, and one more win will complete the mission of winning 3 games.

With this good mentality, Li Liang left Oakland with his teammates and flew back to Indiana overnight.

Indiana fans can't wait for the Pacers to sweep the Warriors 4-0 and win the championship at home, when the most important moment in Indianapolis basketball history will be born.

And for the Warriors, they have no way out, no way back at all.

If you lose again in the third game, it is really an abyss, and no team can get rid of the fate of being defeated.

The match was scheduled for June 9 and the players had only one day off.

It's the game that will decide the course of the series, and the Conseco Arena is full tonight.

Not only inside the arena, but also outside the arena was crowded with fans, and Indiana's enthusiasm for basketball was completely aroused.

It's really stressful for the Warriors players.

But the pressure is also the motivation, and after the adjustment of the second game, Steve Kerr finally made a personnel change - abandoning Bogut's starting arrangement and directly using a five-man lineup and the Pacers on the line.

In the face of the Warriors' arrangement, the Pacers still leaned conservatively and continued to maintain the original starting lineup, with McGee continuing to play as a center.

In the last game, McGee went down to rest in the third quarter and never went up again.

Like Auckland Oracle, the Consec Arena on the night of the 9th was the same yellow as a field of rape flowers.

This feeling makes the Warriors players feel familiar, as if they are at home.

As a result, the Warriors' five small players were indeed powerful, and they changed the sense of stagnation in the first two games, and the positional offense played extremely smoothly and smoothly.

And frequently pulled McGee out and hit it big.

Because McGee's opponent is Green, Green doesn't stay under the basket at all, he just runs to the high post and runs outside the three-point line.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Warriors beat the Pacers 15-7 and led the Pacers by eight points.

The Pacers had to call a timeout, and then make a substitution, and Bird's heart was cross, you are five small, I am five small.

But the Pacers face a problem with five hoops — Li Liang is under too much defensive pressure.

In the fourth quarter of the last game, Li Liang opened a shield and wore [Iron Body] to withstand the attack of the Warriors' five small ones.

In this way, he still paid the price of two fouls.

You let him top it? The Pacers' offense is to stop playing.

Physical fitness is not a problem, Li Liang can drink Gatorade, fouls are the problem.

The Pacers held up the first quarter, 31-25, trailing by six points.

The Pacers held up the second quarter and ended at halftime, 60-54, still trailing by six points.

As a result, he couldn't hold it in the third quarter, Li Liang drank Gatorade to make himself full of physical strength, but as soon as he came up, he was blown a defensive foul by the referee - less than 2 minutes into the third quarter, four fouls!

Li Liang was quite calm and restrained his temper, he knew that the alliance TM wanted to do something again.

How? Don't you give a sweep? RNM.

Do you want to point the ratings? It's easy to say that this is also the Conseco Arena, the home of the Pacers!

But one thing that must be admitted is that the Warriors played really well tonight, and it was completely different from the previous two games.

The five-small offensive lineup shows Curry's advantages and the characteristics of the team's passing and cutting cooperation.

The pace of the game went from rolling in the mire of the first two games to a panting chase after the Pacers after the Warriors.

Kerr completely abandoned Bogut and didn't give Bogut a minute of playing time in favor of David Lee.

Even Azeli and Spetts don't give much time, just the little ones, Barbossa, Livingston.

In the third quarter, the Pacers, who did not have Li Liang for most of the time, were finally overwhelmed by the Warriors' offense.

A wave of 17:5 super shockwave stretched the difference to nearly 20 points in one fell swoop.

The Warriors finally showed their true quality in this game.

Fluid positional offense, devastating three-point shots, and super defensive ability.

This is a strong team that opened the regular season in three quarters and won 66 games.

Li Liang is still struggling, after all, after drinking Gatorade, his physical fitness is too abundant, you don't struggle on the field, you still have to release it when you go home at night.

With a difference of 20 points, Li Liang also fought hard in the fourth quarter, and once chased only 9 points with a three-point shot.

Frightened, Kerr immediately called a timeout, and then when he returned to the game, the referee blew Li Liang's fifth foul very well.

Li Liang had to hold back on the defensive end, while his teammates' fitness dropped significantly.

The Pacers' bench depth is still not as deep as the Warriors, and after five hours, only Finson is the backcourt bench.

West, Garnett, or McGee will be beaten up, and Sloan won't make it to the Finals.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Pacers by 109-95 and 14 points on the road, and basically did not give the Pacers many chances in the whole game.

The Death Five Little Power was revealed, and the Warriors seemed to have found the right way to open the game.

And if the Pacers want to win the championship, it doesn't seem like it will be that simple.
