In the middle and late stages of the first quarter, the Thunder's offense began to play gradually and smoothly.

It's not that the tactics are tacitly coordinated, this is the first regular season, how can there be any tacit understanding.

The main cooperation between Li Liang and his teammates is the blocking and dismantling of the high position, as well as the strategy of the high position.

In the low post, under the basket, on the wing, and in the bottom corner, basically Li Liang has no room and room to play.

The main reason for the fluency is that Westbrook and Durant were scolded by Li Liang.

Durant thought, "Lao Tzu passed on Nima's biography, and I will vote for it when I have the opportunity." ”

Westbrook thought, "Lao Tzu organized Nima's organization, and I rushed when I had the chance." ”

One throw and one rush, the Thunder slowly regained the feeling of the past game.

And what about Li Liang? He hid and put more energy into defense, focusing on support in attack.

Li Liang's support is very powerful, this is a terrible support with high output, which makes the opponent always fearful.

It's not the first time that the Thunder have played the Spurs, and they have fought in the regular season and playoffs.

After having Li Liang in the lineup, the feeling on the field is really different.

For the Spurs, Li Liang is like a man on his back, and everyone on the court has to distract some of his attention from Li Liang.

Correspondingly, the other players are under less pressure and play more openly and relaxed.

In the second quarter, the Thunder overtook the score, and the score was 33:29, and the Thunder led by 4 points.

Westbrook and Durant each scored 10 points, and their firepower was evident.

Durant and Westbrook went off the court to rest, while Li Liang continued to play with the bench players for a while after the start of the second quarter.

At this time, Thunder fans began to see how the MVP played.

At this point, the players on the Thunder court are Augustin, Vitesse, Collison plus an Anthony Morrow.

Of these players, Collison has no attacking power, and the remaining three are all solitary who can't pass the ball.

And Li Liang was responsible for taking them and playing with the Spurs bench led by Ginobili for a long time.

As soon as he came up, he blocked and dismantled from a high position, and Augustin rushed in with his head bored, not giving Li Liang the ball at all - he didn't have the awareness and ability to do so.

As a result, the layup missed, but Li Liang lightly clicked behind him and made a rebound.

The fat Dior found that he couldn't squeeze Li Liang's goods at all.

Then, the Spurs still launched an attack with a high block, and after involving the Thunder defense, they gave Kyle Anderson.

Anderson twisted in with the lack of a slow three, and wanted to throw, but the ball was not shot and was snatched by Li Liang rushing forward.

Li Liang started quickly, dribbled across half the court after breaking the ball, slowed down at the three-point line, and then suddenly accelerated inside.

Hit the left rib, pull up the jump shot, hit the board and hit two points.

The Spurs also kept Parker and Ginobili on the court, but the two of them really can't do it and are old.

Li Liang gives people the feeling that he is one piece taller than others everywhere on the court.

The Spurs' outside jumper still missed, and Li Liang was stuck in the backcourt for rebounding again.

Westbrook wasn't there, and it felt a lot easier to grab rebounds.

This time, Li Liang gave the ball to Augustin, who quickly pushed and counterattacked.

He staged the same drama as Li Liang, suddenly stopped at the three-point line, walked back a little, thought he was going to slow down and organize, but a horse pistol re-entered the basket, and after throwing off Parker, he made a layup!

"Well done, well done!" Li Liang also doesn't want his teammates to pass the ball to him, and he can do it himself.

Spurs is a team like this, if you want to win, don't think about any bells and whistles, just do it, and kill it.

The Spurs are still playing unhurriedly, and Parker is still the offensive engine of the team on the court, after blocking and pick-and-roll, passing, and re-receiving the ball with the help of cover, Parker wiped under the basket and hit a difficult layup with his left hand.

The thunder slowed down at this time, and Li Liang began to control the rhythm.

He received the ball in the high post, and suddenly a hit hit the inside line, and the empty cut Vitesse received the ball under the basket and scored on the empty basket.

This was really a surprise to the Spurs, and the defensive attention on the outside was on Li Liang, which leaked Vitesse.

The situation on the court gradually came into the control of the thunder, or Li Liang's control.

Ginobili's outside three-point shot missed, and Li Liang grabbed another backcourt rebound.

While Westbrook isn't there, grab a few more rebounds.

After winning the rebound, Li Liang slowed down his pace and slowly dribbled across the half court.

There was a problem with defensive communication on the Spurs' side, Dio ran to the inside, and Li Liang was still on the outside.

The man who defended Li Liang became Parker......

Parker turned back again and again, asking Dior to come over and change positions, Li Liang seized the opportunity, two steps away from the three-point line on the outside, and forced a three-point shot!

But in an instant, the Spurs missed a defensive position than Li Liang, and Parker defended him, and he was the same as no one in front of him.

"Huh!" Three-point hit!

The difference came to 11 points, 42:31, and just three minutes into the second quarter, the Spurs felt a little overwhelmed.

Why can't even the Thunder's bench beat?

Please, there's Bruce Lee across the street.

Li Liang is still his style, his ability to seize opportunities is particularly strong, and he can always firmly grasp this opportunity.

A large number of tasks and real-life competitions make his mind very stable and relaxed.

Popovich called a timeout, Li Liang returned to the bench and sat down, and Mike Brown handed the water over.

He is very skilled in this business, and he doesn't need to use his brain, ruthless automatic water delivery machine.

Li Liang scored four points in the first quarter, then cut seven points in three minutes in the second quarter, and has already scored 11 points.

Surpassing Durant and Westbrook is equivalent to telling the two of them, it's not that I can't score, it's just that I don't want to.

On the other hand, Popovich still has a headache for Li Liang, and he has had a headache since he entered the Lakers, and it hurts more and more every year.

He started out as an accurate wing three-pointer with a keen sense of smell and a maverick long-range three-point ability.

In the second year, he began to super-evolve, becoming a top-level three-pointer with a certain ability to hold the ball, with amazing scoring explosiveness and a certain ability to respond, as well as magical defense, excellent key shots, and elusive secondary offense.

By the third year, in Popovich's opinion, Li Liang had reached a new level that the average superstar could only achieve in seven years. A thorough perimeter superstar with the ball, a unique style of play, and a terrifying scoring explosion, as well as defensive ability in the second or more, including inside defense.

Popovich felt that his evolution should have stopped, that it should not be so fast, that he should enter a period of stabilisation or start refining.

As a result, look at his muscles...... The ability to block and pick and roll from mid-range has been developed, the second offense under the basket is more powerful, and the unique shooting fast break is even more perfect.

This guy is moving in the direction of a monster.

The loss of Leonard was already a headache for Popovich, and now he has an even bigger headache for a real monster in the NBA.

If Duncan can be 10 years younger, Popovich feels that everything still has a chance and hope, after all, it is Tim Duncan.

But Duncan is already 40 years old, and this year is likely to be the last year of his career.

What else can I do now? Cold salad, you can only make more fuss on the offensive end.

Popovich has been replaced with Devin Booker in the hope that he can bring more energy to the Spurs on the outside.

This adjustment of Popovich worked.

In many cases, the so-called tactical adjustments are not as effective as the previous quality player.

As soon as Booker came on the court, the situation of the Spurs' second lineup was immediately different, and the outside line had a very dynamic attack point, which had a very obvious driving effect on the team's offense.

His back-to-back breakaways and single mid-range jumpers helped the Spurs hold the score.

Coincidentally, Devin Booker also graduated from Kentucky.

Halfway through the game, Booker shot a mid-distance, Li Liang finally couldn't help it, and retreated after blocking and dismantling the outside line, and received Augustin's return pass and opened his hand to hit a three-point shot!

Booker wanted to chase him, Li Liang calculated Booker's step point, inserted it from the side, and gave a big hat to the junior!

Collison struggled to save the ball, West advanced, Li Liang flew down, and after receiving a pass from Vitesse, under the sandwich of two Spurs players, he used brute force to hit the basket and made a layup!

A wave of 5:0, the difference was stretched to 12 points.

Booker scored six straight points of his own, and then looked up at the difference, which was one more point than before the timeout.

This is the senior that Coach Calipari has been talking about, the magical Blues.

Watching the game, hearing about it, and actually fighting against him, it's really completely different.

And Li Liang passed by his junior brother after scoring a goal, and did not forget to educate him, "Play hard, don't be afraid, shoot more, if you can't shoot, you will shoot more, you will always score." ”

Popovich would probably vomit blood if he heard Li Liang teach Booker so much.

I'm going to train him to be the second Ginobili, do you want him to shoot more and be Kobe?

Li Liang really thinks so, is it bad to be Kobe?
