The hope that Warriors fans had pinned their hopes on for a third-quarter chase was shattered, and instead of closing the score, they were pulled away by an extra point.

At one point, he saw the hope of scoring 10 points, but he was extinguished again and again by the Pacers' counter-attacking attacks.

The Indiana pincers pinched the Warriors firmly in place, making it difficult for them to move around Oracle Arena.

Of course, there is still a quarter to go, and the 16-point margin is not yet a complete death sentence for the Warriors, who still have a chance to complete a big comeback at home.

I believe that every fan whose favorite team is behind by more than a dozen points in the fourth quarter will hope that a miracle will happen in the final moment.

For example, a player suddenly explodes with a three-point shot and hits a shot one after another, or the opponent suddenly fails to attack, and he can't shoot anything, and is constantly counterattacked.

There are chances of this, and they have been played out countless times in the NBA, which is the charm of basketball.

Therefore, Warriors fans are still looking forward to it, and many people are nervously waiting for the start of the fourth quarter of the game.

The beginning of the fourth quarter was indeed an opportunity for the Warriors, because Li Liang was sitting and resting off the court at this time.

Li Liang has already scored 38 points in the third quarter, and if Li Liang scores even 25 points, the gap between the two sides at this time will only be 3 points, which is still very, very anxious and intense.

25 points in the third quarter is not low, this is the finals.

But Li Liang scored 38 points, and the situation was completely different.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stephenson took advantage of the breakthrough to get to the basket and beat Speights for a layup.

None of the Pacers' three fools made a fool tonight, and each of them was able to concentrate and contribute when they were on the court.

As long as Li Liang is not there, Stephenson is the brains of the Pacers' offense on the court.

As soon as the goal was scored, the margin came to 18 points, and the pressure on the Warriors was even greater.

Livingston dribbled past half court, and the Warriors made patient passes on the outside, and after continuous passes and covers, the Pacers' defense did not show a trace of holes.

Because Klay Thompson, Curry, Green and other key players are sitting off the court, it is Iguodala who continues to play on the court with the bench.

Steve Kerr is also a true pass from Phil Jackson, anyway, he is already 18 points behind and almost 20 points, so why don't you go up to the bench and play a dozen, in case you can get the score back?

Because in the sixth game of the 1992 Finals, the Bulls, who led 3-2, had a chance to win this game and win the cup.

As a result, they trailed the Trail Blazers by as many as 15 points in the first three quarters, seeing that the Trail Blazers were about to win the sixth game and drag the finals into a tie-break, Phil Jackson came off the bench in the fourth quarter, who knew that the Trail Blazers would not play, and were beaten alive by the Bulls for a single quarter 33:14, giving up the victory, and also allowing Jordan and the Bulls to win the championship in the sixth game.

Now, Kerr thought to himself, the main players need to rest anyway, so it would be better to give it a try off the bench.

Of course, it would be a miracle if it could be recovered, but if it could not be recovered...... That's just the time when the main force is no longer needed, so let's rest off the field and prepare for the next game.

Thinking of this, Cole let out a long sigh and stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, feeling very depressed.

The enthusiasm of the fans in the arena continued unabated, and when Livingston passed the ball to Speight, Speight's breakthrough throw with the ball missed, but Barnes pointed the ball out, then grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and passed the ball to Livingston to continue the offense. As a result, it was still Speights, a single in the low post on the left, a beautiful back turn, and then a left-handed board throw still didn't go in......

But Barnes seemed to have a magnet in the ball and in his own hands, and he actually grabbed the rebound in the front court!

The second offensive rebound in a row, or the Warriors' possession, the fans at the scene erupted in huge cheers, and many people gave a standing ovation.

This resolute and tenacious attitude is good and worth encouragement, but it has not been able to make progress, and the time is getting less and less.

So the Pacers players are not impatient at all, the defensive formation is not chaotic at all, and the root of man-to-man defense is to bite the players in their own position, no matter what kind of cooperation and confusion, don't lose your people.

In the end, Iguodala stepped up and received a pass in the bottom left corner and hit a three-point shot!

A very morale-boosting shot, Iguodala's three-pointer, the difference returned to 15 points, and the Warriors still have hope.

After that, Stephenson's high-post three-point shot missed, the Warriors counterattacked, Iguodala made a beautiful penetrating pass to Livingston, who received the ball and made an easy layup!

After 13 minutes, the Oracle Arena is still alive.

Li Liang is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai off the field, and Bird wants him to take a good rest.

But soon Li Liang and Bird couldn't sit still, and there were some problems with the Pacers' offense, Shambaugh missed a three-point shot, the Warriors got the rebound and counterattacked again, and it was Iguodala again, and the ball was given to Speights in the bottom corner, and Speights made a mid-range jumper and hit again!

11 points, 11 points, the Pacers need a timeout.

Li Liang took off his sports jacket, he knew he had to come on the court, and it was time to put the game away.

……

The situation on the court is still not stable enough for the Pacers, and Li Liang feels that in the first three quarters of the game, the physical consumption of his teammates is still relatively large.

After all, a defensive-oriented team has a greater physical effort than an offensive team.

It can be seen from Shambaugh's three points that it is obviously a very good opportunity, vacant, but as soon as he shoots, he knows that there is none.

It shows that the physical consumption is indeed very large.

Moreover, Kerr's insistence on multi-person rotation and insisting on letting the main players rest more has an effect.

So, if the Pacers can't grit their teeth and get through it in the final part of the fourth quarter, it's really unclear who will die.

Li Liang knew this very well, so before going on the field, he did not hesitate to take out the bottle of ancestral 82-year-old Gatorade that had been treasured for decades and passed down from his son from under the bench, unscrewed the lid and poured it down after a pause, and then appeared on the stage for the game.

The plot that follows suddenly becomes simpler.

Warriors fans are still looking forward to the Warriors being able to use the momentum of the fourth quarter to complete the final comeback in one go.

Curry and Thompson re-entered the court and played a three-point attack.

As a result, after Li Liang came on the court, it seemed that the whole person suddenly returned to the state of the first quarter - unstoppable.

The physical strength seems to be full all of a sudden, and the offense and defense have begun to take over in an all-round way.

In the offense, he spared no effort to break through the basket, and in the defense, he spared no effort to change defenses, make up defenses, block blocks, and fight for backcourt rebounds.

When Li Liang completed a block on the inside, big hat Curry, and then accelerated after getting the ball, a dragon rushed across the halfcourt, Green couldn't pull it from behind, and Li Liang directly made a split dunk with his left hand, the hearts of Warriors fans and players, as well as Kerr, were completely cold.

Hit a free throw and hit a three-point shot.

The margin was back to 16 points, and there were only five minutes left until the end of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the warrior's anger was vented, completely vented.

Of course, they still didn't give up, and Curry continued to shoot three-pointers from the outside, but didn't hit them.

McGee grabbed the rebound and gave it to Li Liang, a monster with Gatorade and full of energy, dribbling the ball on the road to the frontcourt, and the Warriors' defenders didn't even have the idea of coming over to interfere and press.

Because it's impossible to steal, it's impossible to make him make mistakes, this guy doesn't seem to have played in the previous game, why is his physical strength so good?

I can't help it, I've been drinking Gatorade for 82 years, and it feels so good.

Li Liang just passed the half, on the LOGO of the Warriors' Bay Bridge, at the tightrope of the bridge, and directly made a three-point shot.

An ultra-long-distance three-pointer, Li Liang, who is wearing a [steel body], it stands to reason that his hand feels so stable.

But his self-confidence is solid, even without the three-point shooting uplift.

The ball flew over half court and went straight through the center of the basket, and because it was too fast, it rolled up the net and hung it directly on the basket.

"Beep!"

The Golden State Warriors directly called a timeout, and Kerr replaced the main player and announced the end of the game early.

With this three-point hit, Li Liang scored 50 points in this game and took the first place in the league by himself.
