Chapter 735: No over time

After the timeout, the Pacers' first offense was not hit by Li Liang.

Li Liang was caught by Iguodala and Green on the wing, and the Warriors now started a triple defense against Li Liang, which gave the Pacers other players a chance.

After receiving Li Liang's pass, JR Smith got rid of Thompson in one step and killed inside, and then made a difficult step-back jump shot and hit a two-point shot!

With this shot, the Warriors need to think about their defensive strategy.

If the ball didn't score just now, Li Liang had already squeezed under the basket, ready to grab the frontcourt rebound.

JR-Smith was able to step up and share the pressure when needed.

In terms of talent, Garnett doesn't count, Smith's talent is very good.

His ability to hold the ball is a great help to Li Liang.

The Pacers regained the lead, 76-75, with less than eight minutes to go.

It's destined to be a low-scoring game, but it's a bit of a finals.

Subsequently, the Pacers relied on tough man-to-man defense to defend the Warriors for 24 seconds!

Li Liang finally switched to Iguodala and ate Iguodala to death, and he couldn't even make a move.

The award for the best defensive player in the regular season this year was given to Leonard, but Li Liang's current defensive performance is not far behind Leonard.

When it was the Pacers' turn to attack, Granger received a pass from Li Liang, rushed to the basket, and missed a throw.

But Li Liang pressed Green and Iguodala alone, grabbed the frontcourt rebound again, and then caused Green to foul and go to the free throw line.

Now there is a lot of boos, but the Warriors have to face a problem: when both sides use a five-small lineup, Li Liang has become the highest point on the court!

Li Liang now has the feeling of playing basketball in high school, and Lao Tzu is the tallest!

To be honest, Li Liang's frontcourt rebounding skills are not good, he has done a frontcourt rebounding task, and his improvement is not high.

If there is an orthodox center on the court, such as Bogut on the court, Li Liang does not have many opportunities to get frontcourt rebounds, and occasionally steals one.

One point is the highest point, his strength is raised again, and the trouble for the warrior comes.

On the free throw line, Li Liang hit both free throws.

78:75, 3 points advantage, five small impact and then gradually decrease.

Both sides then wasted another offensive opportunity, and it was still the Warriors' ball.

Curry took advantage of his movement and got a great three-point shot on the right side.

The ball passed from Iguodala to Curry, who made a quick shot.

It was a goal that carried the team's hopes of equalising!

As a result, the ball spun around the basket and finally fell out.

β€œIn and out!” The commentators shouted very regretfully, and the scene was even more "sigh~"

With just over five minutes left before the end of the game, Li Liang grabbed the rebound, leaving little time for the Warriors to consolidate their advantage.

Three points, not insured.

Curry's three-pointers tonight were terrible, making just one three-pointer so far.

Correspondingly, Li Liang made very few three-point shots tonight, only made 4 shots, hit 2 balls, the shooting rate was okay, and the output was relatively low.

At such times, the opponent's defense is prone to leaks.

Consecutive offenses, misses, runs, and longing for three-point shots to equalize, but the result was no.

The Warriors' defense showed a hint of slackness, Li Liang seized the opportunity, dribbled over the half court, and with the help of Danny Granger's cover, he made a super long three-point shot two steps away from the three-point line!

At the moment of the shot, Li Liang felt very confident, as if he had used a three-point shooting rate improvement sticker.

"Huh!"

The ball hits the basket and hits!

It's a real away silencer. Li Liang can't call it a silencer, it's a flamethrower, and if you spray it directly, you won't grow a single inch of grass and have no life.

The ball was so lethal that Kerr had to call a timeout.

The Warriors now face a huge crisis where they are being suppressed by the Pacers in terms of their style of play.

Kerr couldn't find a way to deal with it in a short period of time, and Curry's state was so bad tonight that he scored two more three-pointers, and the situation wouldn't be the way it is.

But that's the way the game is, there's no such thing as two more goals and two fewer mistakes.

If you enter, you will enter, and if you don't enter, you will not enter.

The commentary on the sidelines began to blow Li Liang again, boasting about his ability to control the game, "definitely not like a third-year player".

"I feel like he's been in the league for 30 years, from the golden generation in 1984, to the league with Michael Jordan and Olajuwon." So says Jeff Van Gundy.

Li Liang will definitely say if he hears it, Lao Tzu TM has been playing in the NBA since 1950, and it has been 30 years, Xiao Fan was not born when I played, your brother was not born, and even your father has not met your mother.

In the past three years, I have been playing various tasks non-stop, and I have improved not only my ability points, but also the feeling of the game.

Although the past games cannot be compared with the current games in terms of intensity and competitive level, he gives people the same mental training, especially by repeating the same game, so that Li Liang can think about where the key factors that determine the outcome of a game are, where the key moments are, and where the winners and losers are.

Through trial and error, improvement, and success, Li Liang's experience in this area is unsurpassed.

After all, how can ordinary people's games be repeated.

After the timeout, the two sides returned to the court, and Curry bit his head, his face full of dissatisfaction with himself.

The stats were played on the spot, and Curry scored just two points in the fourth quarter and only 13 points in the game.

The shot map shows that he took a lot of shots from beyond the three-point line and hit just one shot.

The commentator bluntly said, "This is the MVP of the regular season this season?" ”

That's a very mean assessment, but that's the way it is in the basketball media, on the court of heroism, you can get MVP calls for your performance, and you can get vitriolic sarcasm if you play poorly.

Even if Li Liang, who is loved by his family, will be black-shot by the media when he fights badly.

The Warriors' adjustments on the offensive end were still very effective, as soon as they came up and hit directly behind him, Iguodala cut to the basket in the air, and received Green's pass and made a layup.

This is a common air-cut offensive routine used by the Warriors, and it took the Pacers by surprise.

81:77, a difference of 4 points.

The Pacers then missed, but Li Liang grabbed the frontcourt rebound β€” another frontcourt rebound.

Li Liang divided the ball to the outside line and gave it to JR-Smith, who received the ball and made a three-point shot and hit it!

Smith's bloodthirsty three-pointer at a critical moment shot Li Liang into James alive and kept passing him the ball.

84:77, Alexander on the warrior's side.

Subsequently, Klay Thompson made a foul on offense, but only made 1 of two free throws, which was really terrible.

The Pacers ball is still in Li Liang's hands, and he is now looking at the warrior like a butcher with a butcher's knife, thinking about where to take the knife.

Li Liang dribbled just over half court, Thompson and Iguodala forced over, Li Liang could only pass the ball, but he made a mistake!

Curry cut off Hill's ball, and Curry was about to take the ball to counterattack, but he didn't expect Li Liang to catch up from behind and launch the skill [Death Entanglement]!

It's not a winding, it's a death stab from behind Curry, which directly knocked the ball out of Curry's hand.

Li Liang snatched the ball back!

Hill came over to answer, received the ball from Li Liang, quickly passed the half, stabilized, and reorganized the attack.

It was a crucial steal, and if Curry had successfully launched a counterattack just now, it would have been a game-changing shot.

Now, the situation is different again, Li Liang ran through the half, received the ball from Hill, and after avoiding Curry's entanglement, he took a step back and made a three-point shot!

If you don't hit, the ball is too difficult, and once there is a step-back step, it is difficult to guarantee the consistency of the shot.

But under the basket, Danny Granger grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and then with a slight touch, sent the ball into the basket.

The three of the Warriors were watching Li Liang shoot three points outside, but the result was that the interior was empty and the frontcourt rebounds were stolen.

Green angrily got the ball and smashed it to the ground, 86:77, how do you feel like you can't beat it!

It's messed up, and the Warriors' rhythm is a little messy again.

At this time, it was still Thompson who attacked with the ball, hit the waist, and threw a shot with a quick stop.

Even this very uncommon offensive method has come out, indicating that the Warriors really have no good way on the offensive end.

The board missed the throw, but Correspondingly, Barnes also grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt and then made a layup.

The Warriors still have a glimmer of life.

That's when the referee comes into play.

First, he blew Granger for hitting people with the ball in the attack, and then blew for Li Liang to foul while defending Green.

Green goes to the free throw line.

Li Liang was speechless, Lao Tzu still needs to foul against Green?

If I use my brain, even if I lose.

Rely entirely on the subconscious to defend, and use your brain against the rest of the Warriors.

Green hit both free throws, 86-81, and the margin came to five points.

Then the two sides began to strike iron frantically.

After five hours from the second half of the third quarter, the Pacers followed up, and the players on both sides did not change.

There's no way, I don't dare, I don't dare to change people easily, especially I don't dare to go to the center.

The Pacers play McGee or Garnett on the side, and the result may be that they are broken through by the Warriors' rapid offensive wave.

Bird didn't dare take that risk.

And the Warriors don't have five small here, so you don't want to chase the score, so take a break early and go back to take a shower.

Therefore, such a continuous fight, high-intensity, high-concentration confrontation is a huge test of physical fitness on both sides.

Li Liang still has a bottle of '83 Gatorade, but he doesn't think he needs it.

The advantage of 5 points, leisurely strolling, can hold.

The score of 86:81 was maintained for a while, and when there were still three minutes before the end of the game, Li Liang received a pass from Granger on the outside and hit a three-point shot!

After the calf, the cargo went in three more points, and Kerr had to call another short timeout.

89:81, the warriors are very, very dangerous.

The Pacers' players almost had to celebrate their victory in advance, and only Li Liang and Bird were still very calm and warned the players not to relax.

8 minutes, more than two minutes, and not particularly insured.

If it was a knight, Li Liang felt that it was basically stable.

Fighting warriors, not necessarily.

Sure enough, on the first shot after the timeout, Curry singled out Hill with the ball on the right side, and after getting rid of the continuous dribble, he forced a three-point shot against the defense at 45 degrees on the right side and hit it!

Curry finally made his second three-pointer of the game, and it was a very crucial one.

If this three-point goal is not scored, the Warriors are really half dead, and now they have a breath of air.

89:84。

At this time, the Warriors began to use foul tactics, fouling Shambaugh, who had the lowest free throw percentage on the court.

The Pacers' five small don't have much of a disadvantage in free throws, and if you cut their center, you're basically slashing yourself and giving away points.

But with this intensity and this psychological pressure, the free-throw shooting percentage will definitely decline.

Shambaugh hit one of two free throws to make it 90-84, the Warriors won the ball and Curry took the rebound.

Then JR Smith came to Curry with a foul......

The on-site commentators all shouted, "Curry was fouled by Smith!" ”

Li Liang is blinded, why are you foul? It's time for a foul to make a free throw!

Are you TM mentally retarded? Well, sometimes JR-Smith is like that.

You're amazed at how bold he is on threes, but it's just about accepting his senseless foul shots.

Wouldn't you just let Curry hold the ball through half court, wouldn't we be able to prevent it?

As a result, Curry hit both free throws from the free throw line, 90:86, chasing 4 points.

Bird called a timeout, and he replaced Shambaugh for a break and brought on Stephenson.

Li Liang pulled Bird over and said, "Do you want to die?" Why Upper Fensen? We're going to keep the squad we have. ”

"But Shambaugh will be fouled."

"I believe in his free throws, and I bet the Warriors won't foul again!"

The two exchanged sides for a second, and Bird gave in, and he let Finson return to his seat and let Shambaugh continue the game.

It's enough to have a JR-Smith on the field, and then a Finson? I'm afraid I don't want to win.

As Li Liang expected, the Warriors did not use foul tactics again, and Iguodala began to defend Li Liang.

His two arms had the opportunity to clamp Li Liang up, and the ball couldn't reach Li Liang's hands at all.

Li Liang couldn't help but yell at the referee, "Foul, foul!" ”

But the referee ignored it, and the Pacers hurriedly served, but Granger broke through and was cut off by Barnes, and the ball was given to Thompson, who hit the basket and made a layup!

90:88, only 1 point short!

Li Liang really wanted to scold tonight's referee Tony Brother, "Are you TM blind?" ”

But then, Curry was also whistled for a blocking foul in defense, which was committed on Li Liang, who stood on the free throw line and hit both free throws.

He has scored 30 points tonight.

92:88, 4 minutes, still in the safe zone, 1 minute left until the end of the game.

Just as Bird asked the players to actively fight for frontcourt rebounds during the timeout, because the backcourt rebounds of the Warriors' small lineup are a weakness.

Correspondingly, the backcourt rebounding of the Pacers' small lineup is also a weakness.

The Pacers contributed an airtight defense, and in the end Curry's jump shot missed, but Li Liang was dragged by Green and Barnes, Iguodala grabbed the rebound, he dribbled out to reorganize the offense, and then a beautiful pass to Barnes.

Barnes makes an empty basket!

With two points left in hand, the Pacers called a timeout.

Bird asked to give the ball to Li Liang as much as possible during the timeout.

Now the Warriors have made a desperate bet, that is, desperately not to give Li Liang the ball.

Everyone else has to catch the ball, play more and play less, whatever you want, it's a big deal that I have less defense and more defense.

The timeout ended, and sure enough, Iguodala and Curry both came over.

Kerr used a two-man strategy of Iguodala and Curry, allowing Barnes, Thompson and Green to defend less.

It was Hill who received the ball, and at this time Hill had a chance to kill the game, but he hesitated at the crucial moment.

One result of the hesitation was that he was labeled by Green, and he almost made a mistake.

The two scramble on the ground and fight for the ball.

Li Liang pulled Hill up, he knew that he couldn't blame his teammates, the coach's arrangement was to give him the ball, but the ball couldn't pass.

There was no suspense in the scrum, Hill couldn't compete with Green, and the ball came to the Warriors for a chance to equalize.

The Warriors didn't call a timeout, Curry was in the high post, continuous blocking, one, two, three, three people covered him, and Curry wiped it in from the middle!

The entire restricted area was emptied by the Warriors, Curry pursued Li Liang, leaned over, and then made a pick-up in his right hand!

At the critical moment, Li Liang did not rashly block it, but let Curry pick up the basket.

Because he was worried that he would be whistled for a foul, and then Curry made a layup and hit a three-pointer, then it was not a tie, but a reversal.

Curry hit a basket, and after the goal, Curry couldn't help but clench his fists and roar!

After holding back the whole game, the depression in his heart suddenly roared out, and he played really badly tonight.

With seven seconds left before the end of the game, the Pacers called a timeout.

After a long pause, to be honest, Li Liang didn't listen to anything, because he knew that in the end, he could only end the attack.

"Bruce, did you hear what I said?"

"yes Larry, I'll shoot the ball in."

"OK, it's up to you."

Bird drew on the tactics board for a long time, and he didn't know if Li Liang listened to it.

Li Liang didn't hear it, but he glanced at the tactical board and knew how it was arranged in the end.

Assembled in the middle, Li Liang made a cover for JR, Granger walked to the right baseline, JR pretended to catch the ball and take away the defense, Li Liang cut outside, received the ball, and finally went one-on-one.

Back on the court, Li Liang thought about it for a while and decided to keep the [Lucky Hand] and put on the [God's Left Hand] instead.

Everything went according to the tactical plan, Hill served on the side, covered in the middle, Li Liang cut outside, Smith covered the back pocket and pretended to catch the ball, and Shambaugh and Granger opened up space.

Li Liang ran to the center circle to receive the ball, looked up at the time, 6 seconds.

At this time, Iguodala didn't know that Li Liang had become a complete left-hander, mirror man!

A left-handed dribble with a change of direction behind the back, a continuous escape - this is obviously Curry's dribbling trick?

Iguodala didn't expect Li Liang to take the left side! And his dribbling is so fluid.

Then cut into the basket from the left side, dodging Green and Barnes to help defend and make a pick-and-roll with his left hand.

The ball bounced off the rebound, jumped a few times off the basket, and ended up in the net!

The red light comes on, and the game is over!

The left hand broke through in one go, and it was like flowing water.

It's over, it's over.

The entire Oracle Arena was stunned except for the Pacers' players.

And that's the end of it? Lore? Lost again? Didn't you leave us 0.4 seconds?

No more, no more 0.4 seconds, no more overtime.

Because the last ball jumped on the basket a few times, and the time was over.

Needless to say, Li Liang was full of big men again, and then he shouted in his mouth: "No over time, no over time!" ”
