Chapter 946: 130 points
This is the first time Li Liang has tweeted about his team's victory prediction before the game, and bluntly said that the team will score 130 points.
130 points, this is a playoff game, not a regular season.
You know, when Paul lost by 58 points in the playoffs, the Nuggets only scored 121 points.
Of course, if the Hornets had fought a little more fiercely, maybe the Nuggets would have scored more.
After Li Liang tweeted this, he showed his phone to all the players.
"It's been 10 years since the Sacramentos have watched the playoffs on their home turf, 10 years, and hopefully everyone tonight, play their best, 130 points, that's what I'm asking for and aiming for."
No one in the Kings team spoke, and everyone couldn't help but look at Cousins.
You brag a lot of money, can't you brag about 120 points? It doesn't have to be 130 points.
With an average of more than 30 points per quarter, the opponent is still the Los Angeles Clippers, how can it be so easy.
As soon as Li Liang's tweet was issued, needless to say, it was a crazy retweet, including Tang Laozhuang.
After a period of running-in, Li Liang and Tang Laozhuang govern the country with one Twitter and coach with one Twitter, and often have a little gentle interaction, you forward me, I like you.
Tang Laozhuang's team hopes to use Li Liang's reputation to leverage his strength to enhance the effect of public opinion.
Sometimes, one more person playing against you will attract more attention.
After understanding this truth, Donald Zhuang's tweets became frequent again.
As for what Li Liang is thinking, no one knows.
He seems and does what he wants.
On the other side, the Clippers have received Li Liang's prediction that they will score 130 points in a single game.
Chicken Soup Master Rivers decisively took advantage of this opportunity to mobilize his players, demanding that the Kings must not be allowed to succeed tonight.
Rivers gives a speech in his hoarse voice, portraying Li Liang as an arrogant demon and demanding that the players take him down.
But the effect is actually not particularly good, because the core of the Clippers has been an opponent with Li Liang, and they know that Li Liang is a terrible person.
It's not the kind of guy who you muster up the courage to rush forward, rely on your will, roar, and the small universe can be killed by an explosion.
This is a person who has left a shadow on many people, and only by defeating Li Liang, can he truly surpass him in strength to build the confidence to win.
Moreover, Li Liang is really a person who sets up a flag, and he rarely makes mistakes.
By half-past seven in the evening, when the game began, everything would be clear.
Kings fans are finally back in their playoff game after a decade.
Ten years, many young fans have grown up.
A lot of people who used to be Kings fans have forgotten about this gorgeous purple shirt.
Their memories of the king are still stuck in Princeton, Divac, Webb, Bibbe......
It's something that was once good, something that can only be missed.
Now they have a new king, a real king.
Li Liang in the playoffs is completely different from Li Liang in the regular season.
This season, Li Liang's personal scoring has decreased compared to the past, averaging only 28 points per game.
But rebounds, assists, steals, and even fouls have all set career highs.
Of course, playing a new career low of playing time was shorter than the time he played off the bench with the Lakers.
Obviously, it is a use of power and justifiably laziness.
There is a good thing about being lazy, that is, Li Liang saves his best form for the playoffs.
After the start of the game, Li Liang was unusually fired.
Because the flag was set before the game, this game has to score 130 points, and you have to score more points at the beginning.
At the same time, Li Liang was worried that the players would be under too much pressure and would not play well.
So he was meticulous and considerate, and in the first quarter, he used the "mid-range jumper shooting improvement sticker" and began to perform his mid-range shooting.
It was Griffin who defended Li Liang in charge, and as a result, Griffin's small short hand could not stop Li Liang's mid-range shot at all.
Li Liang with a lifting sticker, the middle distance is at the Kobe level, it doesn't matter how you defend it, whether you can get in or not depends on my feel.
Before the game, Li Liang put the feel rune in the position of PF again, and the double rune bonus.
How can this guy withstand it, Rondo delivered 8 assists in the first quarter, 7 of which were split with Li Liang after blocking and dismantling, and Li Liang hit directly from the middle distance.
His shots have been improved, he is fast, has few shots, and is quite consistent.
The basket is as wide as the sea.
Li Liang scored 22 points in the first quarter to help the Kings lead the Clippers by 11 points at 41-31.
The Clippers played well in the first quarter, but the main reason was that Li Liang brought the rhythm fast.
Rivers watched anxiously from the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do.
Li Liang's mid-range jumper is indeed too accurate, if God helps.
By the second quarter, the rest of the Kings were starting to erupt.
In the first quarter, Li Liang used his perfect offense to relieve the pressure on the whole team.
The Golden No. 1 Center was warmed up, and the Kings players were also warmed up.
Gordon, Tucker, and even Rondo all hit three-pointers from the outside.
At the same time, the Kings maintained the usual consistency of the Bees on the defensive end.
The intensity was not great, but the constant harassment made the Clippers' offense uncomfortable.
The Clippers have been high and low for the past two years, and the trio of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. has guaranteed a worry-free playoffs.
But the problem is that all three lack the ability to make a final decision, and they need a strong fourth man to lead.
Leonard was originally the target of the Clippers, but unfortunately the Clippers' capital is not as strong as the Lakers, and people are reluctant to come.
And Rivers has shown his incompetence in rookie selection, free agent signings, etc.
In those two years, apart from raising one of his sons, Austin Rivers, the Clippers have hardly had any fresh and lively blood to join.
And because the team has a championship, there is no absolute forward momentum, which leads to a feeling that everyone is lying on the credit book.
The strength of the team is still very strong, but in the face of the Kings who killed the red eye in the tsunami of the golden No. 1 center mountain, the Clippers began to be overwhelmed.
In the first half, the Kings led the Clippers by as many as 20 points!
You know, in the regular season, although the Kings won 57 games, there were very few big wins.
It's not like when he was in the Clippers and Thunder, scoring more than 120 points at every turn and sweeping the opponent by 30 points.
Some of the games were won very riskily, and many of the games were played at critical moments.
However, unlike some pseudo-strong teams that like to sweep rookies, the teams that the Kings have won big have been strong teams in the league.
Including the Warriors, Spurs, and Celtics, it shows that once this nerve knife is used, it is really powerful.
Li Liang has already found a little bit of how to make good use of this nerve knife.
In the third quarter, the Clippers changed their tactics when they couldn't catch up with the score, trying to slow down the pace and prevent the Kings from scoring more than 130 points.
Rivers is also a face-saving coach, and he was rammed by the opponent by 130 points, what a shame.
You can lose the ball, you can't get any more points.
In the fourth quarter, the Kings scored more than 100 early, but then the Clippers began to use fouls and offense to drag the rhythm to prevent the Kings from scoring and reduce offensive rounds.
The fans of the Kings were booed.
And the Kings players are red-eyed, and they want to score.
Li Liang's pre-game Flag instigation, the effect is really good.
With 30 seconds left in the game, the Kings led by 22 points at 125:103.
At this time, the Clippers possessed the ball and Rivers controlled the ball, which was to drag out the 24 seconds and not give the Kings a chance to continue scoring.
At this time, Li Liang suddenly rushed forward, a pressing defense, and with the [Death Winding] skill, the steal was successful!
Li Liang counterattacked with the ball, scored a layup, scored 127 points, and there were 20 seconds left before the end of the game.
Rivers actually called a timeout, which was to set up a plan to prevent the Kings from continuing to score.
Of course, the pig head never expected that after the timeout, in order to get the ball, the king would use foul tactics against the Clippers when he was leading by more than 20 points!
Yes, Li Liang wants the ball, not the score.
You make free throws, you score, I don't care.
The Clippers hit both free throws, and the next step is to defend well.
Li Liang advanced with the ball, and the Clippers did not dare to foul, and the foul was to give away points.
As a result, I watched Li Liang hit the basket, a stop-and-go jump shot, the ball crossed Jordan Jr.'s fingertips, and the two-point shot was hit!
129 points!
There is still 1 point missing.
Li Liang, a shameless man, once again used foul tactics.
The fans were happy, and Rivers shook his head on the sidelines.
Paul wanted to curse, but he couldn't, so he had better say less.
After losing so badly, how can you scold it?
In the end, the Clippers player chose to miss the second free throw and let his teammates grab the rebound, maybe they could control the ball.
It's a pity that he thought too much, Li Liang won the backcourt rebound, and a long pass to the frontcourt!
Cousins catches the ball, dribbles it, and dunks it with one hand!
131 points!
Cousins helped the team deliver on its promise, scoring 130 points in a single game!
