Li Liang recently finished his shooting lessons in Houston, and his ability to run without the ball and catch jumpers and pull-up jumpers has been taken to the next level.

Others can't see it just by looking at the stats and shooting postures, after all, the improvement in ability values is not too big.

Li Liang's own feeling when he played on the court was obvious.

For example, he now shoots fewer three-pointers from beyond long range than he did last season.

It's not that he misses, it's that his reliance on "open spots" isn't as obvious as last season.

In the past, he traded space for time, using enough distance to create an open space and prevent the opponent's shooting from distracting.

He's also going to have to go along with his three-point shooting percentage.

This season, with the steady improvement of various shooting ability, he is no longer so dependent on space for time, and can choose his shooting point more calmly.

After all, the shooting percentage will still be higher when the distance is closer.

Tactically speaking, Li Liang will have more choices.

In addition, he now has the ability to attack with the ball, and he can be more flexible in his style of play.

Of course, Li Liang didn't want to be flexible at the start of the second half.

He wanted to kill the Pacers and Paul George with a hammer.

To this end, he carefully discussed with Paul and Griffin, and then carefully selected the opportunity to shoot after the third quarter of the game began.

The first offense of the second half, starting with the Clippers.

The Clippers' first offense opted to let Paul single Hill with the ball in the 45-degree rib.

As a result, Paul missed a mid-range jumper after a tentative step.

West, on the other hand, received the ball in the low post, turned his back and beat Griffin to score two points.

The two sides played to a 49-all draw.

The Clippers' positional battle was the same as the first time, with Griffin coming out to catch the ball and the high post playing to Paul, who took the ball in the ribs and one-on-one George Hill.

This time, Paul did not force his own shot, but pretended to go in the middle with the help of Griffin's cover, which attracted the attention of the Pacers' defense in the middle and passed the ball to Li Liang on the wing.

Li Liang received the ball and adjusted it slightly, and made a direct three-point shot...... Hit!

Paul George desperately rushed over to block the interference, but it didn't work.

Li Liang hit the first three points of the second half.

He's useless with any props.

Vogel was a little nervous off the court, and if there were Pacers fans in front of the TV, his heart would be racing.

Li Liang hit a three-point shot in the first half of the second half, which is not a good sign.

It's even a bra!

Li Liang's sudden three-point rain is really one of the most terrifying scoring tides in the NBA.

The entire Pacers team showed a high level of vigilance, and Vogel kept emphasizing, "Watch the blues, watch the blues!" ”

It's simply a red alert.

However, Li Liang did not rain down three points afterwards, and he still played with his teammates as in the first half, passing the ball, especially to Griffin.

Griffin played a block with Li Liang in an attack, received Li Liang's pass, rushed up in one step, and smashed the whole person towards Hibbert with a head and face!

Hibbert was still too tall, and Griffin's arms were too short.

Griffin, you dunk and dunk, and grab Hibbert's head and press it down?

Of course, the ball ended up blowing Hibbert's defensive blocking foul and Griffin was on the free throw line.

Griffin made both free throws.

The two sides battled on the inside in the third quarter.

David West started to exert his strength, using his skilful footwork and basket skills to open Griffin's basket and make a strong comeback.

Subsequently, Paul broke through the basket and attracted three defenders, and then passed the ball to Jordan Jr. in the seam, and Jordan Jr. took the ball and dunked it with one hand!

Li Liang opened up the space on the outside, and the Pacers' inside line was allowed to come and go freely by Paul.

Then, Hibbert played the ball under the basket, turned his back and missed the layup, the ball was fully contracted by the Clippers, and Li Liang, Jordan Jr., and Griffin interfered with the basket, making Hibbert return in vain.

Griffin took the rebound and wanted to come by himself, he dribbled and advanced, spun the top, faced Hibbert again, and forced a layup!

Griffin doesn't believe in evil, and he has to prove himself in front of the long-arm Hibbert.

Hibbert's defense still had a little downward pressure on the ball, but the referee still didn't blow for a foul, and Griffin's layup missed.

Don't you have a little bit of a hand on your hand?

Li Liang followed from behind, and with a slight touch, he put the ball into the basket, and the Clippers scored 58 points.

Hibbert wanted to glare at Griffin, but when he dunked, Griffin pressed Hibbert's head and wanted to dunk, which annoyed Hibbert.

As a result, before he could stare at it, Li Liang Huangque came out to make a successful basket, making Hibbert's defensive efforts come to naught.

Hibbert was a little frustrated, and Li Liang had this ability to make people frustrated.

Subsequently, the internal competition between the two sides became more and more fierce.

Stephenson forced the inside to cause Li Liang to foul on the free throw line.

The first free throw was hit, the second was missed, and West grabbed the rebound.

But under the basket, Li Liang and Jordan Jr. struggled to interfere, making West's inevitable layup too hard and popping out of the frame.

Griffin grabbed another backcourt rebound, and this time he didn't force himself and gave it to Paul.

Paul quickly crossed the half court with the ball and passed the ball to Li Liang, who was fast down.

Li Liang received the ball and hit the basket, but this pull-up jump shot missed.

The Pacers' defense was quite good, with timely retreats, interference in place, and no mess of formation.

Their counter-attack was equally methodical, and after successive passes, West fed the ball to Hibbert in the high post to the basket, who turned and hit a hook shot.

And Griffin finally hit a strong shot in the low post in the offense, he received a high pass from Li Liang, turned around and shot a feint to shake off the opponent, and then hit a backhand layup.

The fight between the two sides on the inside makes fans think that they have returned to the NBA more than ten years ago, and the center and power forward are still extremely key forces on the court.

Backcourt players are keen to break through rather than shoot from the outside, and they hit the inside, pull the rod to change hands, and cause damage.

The word "killing" has appeared less and less in the past two years.

The players on both sides slowly put their energy into the interior, and there were always three or four people squeezed under the baskets on both sides to grab rebounds, protect the frame, and fight hand-to-hand.

The smell of gunpowder on both sides gradually thickened, especially between Hibbert and Griffin and Little Jordan.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. both held their breath to dunk one on Hibbert's head, this big black tower is really a pillar on the inside, the Pacers' one-on-one, less defensive strategy gives him the maximum space to play, and the defensive role on the court can be described as visible to the naked eye.

After Hibbert threw a hook hand in Jordan Jr.'s head, Paul used Li Liang's cover to slip the bottom line, and then threw a high pass to Jordan Jr. who was plugged in the middle, feeding an aerial relay!

Jordan Jr.'s empty dunk was ruined by Hibbert, and the referee blew for a foul.

Hibbert would rather foul than give the Clippers a chance to dunk on his head inside.

It's the dignity of a defensive interior line.

Just like Shaquille O'Neal, he will never let anyone put a buckle on his head, and push will also push people down.

Then Jordan Jr. made free throws......

The Clippers basically don't have much hope.

It's normal to miss two free throws, just as he didn't make a shot.

If you enter one, you will earn it, and if you enter two, you will win the lottery and make a lot of money.

As a result, Jordan Jr. missed two free throws, 54:60, and the Clippers still led by 6 points.

Then, the Pacers countered and pulled off a very nice combination.

George Hill blocked on the flank and West, who went down after West's cover.

But instead of passing the ball directly to West, Hill gave the ball to Hibbert at the top of the arc.

Hibbert is a big tower, and when he gets the ball, he stands tall and sees far away, and he passes far away.

He hung high, West received the ball and rushed inside, pushed the defender under the basket, and hit the board for a layup.

Very beautiful coordination, this ball Clippers' defense is already in place, but this coordination is really smooth.

Both sides insisted on playing the inside line and insisted on rushing in, and as a result, Li Liang was gradually forgotten.

Vogel also shouted "watch out for Bruce" from the sidelines, and Li Liang's three-point shot at the beginning of the third quarter seemed to be a flash in the pan.

Later, he was like an insider, rushing under the basket to grab rebounds, protect the frame, desperately defend, and make a three-point shot, not even threatening.

The Pacers players have long forgotten about his three-pointers, and his attention is focused on Griffin and Jordan Jr., not wanting them to dunk.

At this point, Paul caused Hill's hand-handling foul when he used Jordan Jr.'s cover to get rid of Hill's defense.

Look at the time, there are more than six minutes left in the third quarter, and it's time for a substitution.

Paul gave Li Liang a look, and Li Liang shouted at Rivers: "Lao Li, don't look at it, it's time to change!" ”

Rivers watched five minutes of highlight-reel on the sidelines and almost forgot to make a substitution.

Hurriedly, Griffin was substituted and Crawford came on.

After Crawford came on the court, the Clippers' offensive focus and roster structure changed.

It's just that the Pacers' players haven't come out of the interior confrontation yet.

Li Liang sent the sideline ball, Jordan Jr. came out to catch the ball, and then made a hand-to-hand pass to Li Liang to catch the screen.

As soon as Li Liang got the ball, Crawford and Barnes interspersed the running position, Li Liang pretended to pass the ball, but secretly swallowed the [three-point shooting percentage improvement sticker (a)] in his heart.

The three-point shooting rate increased in three minutes, the Pacers were still shrinking their defense, and Li Liang had already used Jordan Jr.'s cover to shoot head-on!

A sudden three-pointer that made the Pacers unsuspecting and then hollowed into the net only to realize that there was an outside killer who had been staring at them.

If Vogel is vigilant enough, he should call a pause at this time to let Li Liang's hand cool down, at least consume his prop time.

But the Pacers actually played well on the offensive end, and with a three-pointer, Vogel had confidence in the players' defense.

In the first half, Li Liang and Paul played blocking and dismantling, and at halftime Vogel had already arranged to target Paul Li Liang's blocking and dismantling, and in the second half, he would not let the two play too good blocking and dismantling cooperation.

Naive, block and dismantle? Li Liangcai was too lazy to block and dismantle.

The Pacers' offense was really good, and after Hibbert received the ball in the high post, he saw the Clippers shrink, tried a mid-range, and actually made a shot.

But the Clippers' counterattack came quickly, Li Liang personally dribbled across the half court, in the middle, Barnes and Jordan Jr. continued to cover Li Liang, Li Liang came to a Qin Wang around the pillar, and after throwing off the defense, he shot three points again at the top of the arc!

Li Liang relied on the skill of [Zero-second Shot], and the speed of the shot was already quite fast, and the defender wanted to interfere with the fundamental power.

The result is another three-point through the heart!

At 58:66, Vogel finally got a little worried and got up from the bench again.

But the Pacers' players are really tough.

Faced with Li Liang's hot hand, Paul George stepped forward.

He dribbled and accelerated to shake off Barnes, then took a step back in the bottom corner for a difficult three-point shot!

His shot was still a little backward, and the result was also in!

At 61:66, the Pacers continued to bite the score.

Li Liang's adrenaline was pumping, and he knew he had to respond.

Li Liang and Paul George on the outside are one-on-one, and Li Liang dribbles outside to adjust the rhythm.

He had an advantage over George in terms of height, he found the right time, started at the best tempo, and then made a three-point shot!

Paul George has defended to the extreme, flawless with people, and finally blocked the interference in place.

But looking back, the ball was still hollow into the net, another three-pointer!

61:69！

Three three-pointers in a row!

But Vogel still didn't call a timeout, because the Pacers were also scoring and George was responding.

But Vogel got a wrong question, Li Liang is not an ordinary player, he is the father of the system!

In this case, will he let George score again?

As soon as George received the ball, he was directly hit by Li Liang's [Death Entanglement], and broke the ball hard!

This death entanglement is simply Li Liang's magic skill to turn the tables and hit his opponent, and he will always use this skill that can only be used once at the most appropriate time to give the opponent the biggest blow.

Li Liang, who won the steal, dribbled the ball himself and killed the half, and George chased after him.

But Li Liang did not choose to play under the basket, but gave the ball to Paul, who followed behind.

Paul received the ball for a transition and then passed it back to Li Liang.

Li Liang has already made adjustments when he stands on the outside, so he doesn't care whether George sticks it up or not, Lao Tzu just wants to cast it in front of you!

Li Liang was one step away from the three-point line, received the ball for three points and then shot!

George was obviously panicked, the ball was defended, and it ended up slapping Li Liang on the arm.

It's over, fouls, free throws.

What's worse is that the ball still went in!

The Stamp Center was in a frenzy, with Li hitting four three-pointers in three minutes and five in the third quarter, including a four-pointer.

It was another night of Li Liang's performance, and George's outstanding performance just became a foil for Li Liang's performance.

Vogel now knows that it is bad, the gap of 8 points, this 4 points, becomes 12 points.

It was still evenly matched, and I vaguely felt that I could bite it, and I turned over in the last section.

As a result, he was knocked to the ground with a punch and stepped on twice.

The only lesson humanity has learned from history is that humanity never learns its lesson, and this is especially true of basketball coaches.

After Li Liang hit a free throw, Vogel called a timeout.

But Li Liang's performance is not over, although the time has come to improve the three-point shooting rate, but Li Liang has other offensive methods.

He and Paul became more and more proficient in cooperation, and finally seized the opportunity to use the [Rainman's Umbrella] to slam a button on Hibbert's head!

500 anger points, in exchange for a wave of venting on Hei Yaoming's head, it's worth it!
