Van Gundy has been a full-time commentator since retiring from the 2007 season, and he has enjoyed doing his job.

Therefore, even if teams continue to recruit him as an NBA head coach and promise a high salary, Van Gundy refuses one by one.

After all, the position of NBA head coach is really not made by people.

There is a lot of pressure, little power, and a black pot, and as a commentator, Van Gundy can scold Fang Xuan and comment on the country.

As the ultimate understanding of the ball, Van Gundy's advantage is very great when he evaluates from God's perspective.

So, Van Gundy sat comfortably on the sidelines and even wanted to pull his brother Stan Van Gundy into the water.

But seeing Li Liang's performance tonight, Van Gundy wavered for the first time in six years.

A wisp of longing slipped through his heart, missing the passionate, competitive and stressful arena.

I miss the stadium where everyone cheers and everyone is silent.

Missing the messy, restless, hormonal smell of the locker room.

I miss the ecstasy of victory, and even the pain of defeat.

It's all so real, so real that it's addictive, intoxicating, and overwhelming.

Anyone who loves basketball wants to be crowned king or crushed into the ultimate battle.

No matter how close to the pitch is, close enough to reach out and spray the players on the sidelines, so close that there is no difference from when he was a manager in the past, Van Gundy still knows that he belongs on the sidelines.

He can be ecstatic, he can shout, he can be lost, he can be depressed, but these emotions are all his own.

No one will share with him, no one will bear with him.

That's what only people in the stadium can enjoy, he's enjoyed it, he's endured it.

He felt that enough was enough, that was okay, and that he never wanted to go back.

But for a second, he faltered, and he wanted to go back.

He wanted to meet Bruce Lee for a while.

He wanted to know what kind of method he should use to prevent him from scoring.

Back in the days at the Knicks, he used to be obsessed with this work, and the object of his work was that god - Michael Jordan.

Confronting God can make people as tall as God, and this is the best way for people to get close to God.

After Jordan retired, he couldn't find that feeling again.

But after Li Liang threw in that three-pointer, he felt like he had touched it again.

“Oh?my gold。”

Van Gundy uttered the words, and then fell silent, like the rest of the audience.

The commentator next to him was already shouting hoarsely, just like a group of fans and spectators shouting in front of the TV and in front of the Internet screen, they were excited by such a magical lore.

But Van Gundy is different, the experience in his heart is different, completely different.

It is a kind of experience that only people who have experienced the battles on the field, experienced the ups and downs, and experienced the line between heaven and hell.

The feeling of standing in front of the magnificent temple of destiny and wanting to kneel and admire its majesty.

You can't make any noise when you feel that way, only a deep silence can represent his mood.

"How the hell did all this happen?"

Van Gundy uttered this sentence after a long silence.

The last time Van Gundy felt that way was in 2004, when he was still with the Rockets, and in that game on December 9, against the Spurs.

Maddie single-handedly directed 13 consecutive points in 35 seconds and finally beat the Spurs.

At that moment Van Gundy was shocked, truly shocked.

But this time it was different from Maddie's.

Maddie's one came too fast, 35 seconds, and because of the constant pause, the process was a little choppy.

Li Liang had a longer time this time, starting at the end of the third quarter and continuing through the entire fourth quarter, completing a reversal of more than 30 points.

Maddie's is a wonderful short drama, full of explosiveness, and the moment the ending is revealed, it is amazing.

And Li Liang led a movie, and after enough brewing, he used a three-point goal that surprised everyone to complete the big reversal.

For the audience who are so caught in the middle of it, you can't even cry out in amazement, you can only silently shake your head and think, like Van Gundy, "How did all this happen?" ”

While Van Gundy and many fans were pondering the issue, Popovich called a timeout and loudly laid out his final tactics from the bench.

The Spurs still have a chance, and Li Liang shot early in order to get enough space to shoot.

So give the Spurs enough time, they can completely set up a tactic, score the last goal, and let Li Liang's magical performance come to naught.

However, Popovich looked at the expressions of the players and felt a little cold in his heart.

Because he couldn't see the determination to win in the faces of the Spurs players.

Only Duncan and Leonard were expressionless, as solemn as ever.

Others were somewhat depressed, some unbelievable.

Parker crossed his waist, his eyes looking into the void, and he must have wondered how all this had happened.

The advantage of 35 points slipped away from his fingers unconsciously.

They played well, their offense was fluid, they were well coordinated, they defended well, and they didn't give the Clippers too many chances.

Then, looking up at the score, they were overtaken, by 1 point.

That's a fatal 1 point.

The Spurs players felt that something was holding them down, and their fighting spirit could not burst out.

On the other side, off the bench of the Clippers, Rivers was yelling at the players to be sure that they must complete the last defense.

"Defensively, you have to concentrate your attention, this is the opportunity that Bruce has given us and this is the opportunity that you have earned yourself. Victory, victory is at hand! ”

Rivers' hoarse voice inspired everyone on the Clippers, except for Leung.

He sat on the bench in silence, completely unable to hear what Rivers was saying.

He was just thinking about one thing, not "We're going to win this game," and he was thinking the same question as Van Gundy, "How did all this happen?" ”

Li Liang had this doubt, because at the moment of his shot, the feeling he had was exactly the same as when he was wearing the [Garbage King] medal!

But all over the body, I couldn't find the shadow of the medal, it just disappeared.

Is it really gone, or is it hidden somewhere else?

Or is it just on oneself?

Li Liang didn't know.

At this point, the timeout ends and both sides return to the field.

At the last chance of the Spurs, the fans at the scene clamored again, hoping that the Spurs could complete the counter-lore.

Otherwise, it would be too miserable to be reversed by 35 points at home.

It's too hard for the Spurs and Spurs fans, and although they are strong, why do all kinds of miracles always happen to us?

But apart from Spurs fans, fans of various other teams want the Clippers to win.

Who wouldn't want to see a reversal?

When Li Liang threw that shot, some sports forums had exploded, and the server crashed and he couldn't log in.

Too many people are posting, too many people are discussing.

Of course, if the Spurs fight again, the server will only collapse even more.

But the Clippers didn't let their hard-won win slip through the cracks.

Although Li Liang played the most important role, in the process of chasing points, every player on the Clippers court made a contribution.

Jordan Jr., Crawford, Barnes, Hollins, Collison.

This is a team victory, and it is not enough to rely on Li Liang alone.

The Spurs' last attack, the tactics did not run out.

In the end, the ball was in Duncan's hands, and Duncan chose to hold the ball head-on and then throw a shot in the middle.

His shot was interfered with by Jordan Jr. and he knocked on the front of the basket and missed.

Li Liang jammed the Spurs player, and Barnes struggled to grab the backcourt rebound!

Spurs players can only foul and then send Barnes to the free throw line.

Barnes' free throws weren't particularly consistent, but he withstood the pressure and hit both free throws at the crucial moments.

It also gives the Spurs 1.2 seconds.

Popovich called another timeout, but by this time the Spurs' chances of winning were slim.

They can only opt for three-point shots.

And the Clippers are trying their best to defend three-pointers and not give the Spurs a three-point chance.

Eventually, the game ended as Danny Green missed a three-pointer from the outside.

The score was fixed at 123-120, and the Clippers completed a shocking comeback after trailing by as many as 35 points.

Li Liang scored 42 points in the game and single-handedly dominated the Clippers' comeback.

This will undoubtedly be a classic in the history of this season, and indeed the NBA regular season.

"You know, after watching this game, I even kind of want to go back to the NBA as a coach!" Van Gundy said to his partner after the game.

Of course, when he said that, it proved that he couldn't go back to being a coach, he was just joking.

But at a certain moment, he really had such a thought, because of Li Liang.

After the game, players from both sides hugged each other.

Li Liang and Duncan shook hands and hugged each other, Duncan wanted to say something to Li Liang, but Li Liang took the lead and said, "Tim, the future is mine." ”

Duncan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "You're right." “
