Chapter 807: The Best of Him
At 56:64, after Li Liang hit a three-pointer, he reopened the gap between the two sides.
After Li Liang came on the court, he brought not only scoring, but also tough defense.
Li Liang is not Collison, and a simple single-block cover can't get rid of him.
He began to assist his teammates on the perimeter in chasing Curry.
Curry, after a series of dribbles around the wall, gave the ball to Bogut, who was unguarded in the middle.
However, Bogut was too slow to react and the ball was tackled by Westbrook.
The Thunder counterattacked, and Westbrook took the lead again.
Li Liang followed, Westbrook gave the ball to Li Liang, and Green on the side did not hesitate, rushed up and hugged Li Liang and received a foul.
Before Li Liang could rush to the three-point line at this time, Green fouled.
Being hugged by Green like this, Li Liang really wanted to raise his elbow to give him a look.
Think about it or forget it, it is advantageous to keep Green on the field team.
The audience shouted an enthusiastic OKC shout and sent a throw-in.
Li Liang served to Westbrook, who held the ball at the waist and assisted Adams, who cut in the middle, to make a layup.
At 56:66, after Li Liang appeared on the court, the difference between the two sides was reopened to 10 points.
Klay Thompson stepped up again and took advantage of a breakaway that he wasn't particularly good at to score a layup.
Adams' slow movement speed was once again exposed.
Li Liang was attracted to the defensive attention by Curry.
Durant is walking again......
"You go in and make up for it! You're going for a walk again, do you take it for a walk with your long legs? ”
Durant was scolded again.
Defensive awareness is something that must be cultivated from an early age.
Once you don't cultivate it when you are a child, you form a conditioned reflex, and when you reach the professional league, it is difficult to be consistent.
Like Durant, he will have the awareness of making up for defense at some critical moments, or when he is strong.
But once the score is ahead, he will forget about it if he loosens it up a little.
Thompson's form was really good in the second half, and he completely regained his touch.
Then, Thompson was on offense, receiving Curry's pass on the right side, and using the cover to shoot a direct mid-range jumper.
60:66, Thompson's accurate jump shot was simple and rustic, but this ability to hit consecutive shots made every opponent fearful.
Westbrook's layup was then blocked, and Durant salvaged the ball on the edge of the halfway line.
Westbrook regained possession, flanked into the basket, and distributed the ball to Li Liang, who was 45 degrees to the left.
The Warriors' defense actually leaked Li Liang cleanly, and there was a big vacancy.
How could Li Liang let go of such an opportunity and hit a three-point shot directly.
Li Liang has always felt that for a shot like this with a big vacancy, he should have scored 4 points, which can be regarded as a punishment for the opponent who disrespects himself.
I don't know how his brain grows to have this kind of thought.
Curry then assisted Speights in the middle for a mid-range jumper.
Curry hadn't really played in the second half, and he had been assisting and guiding the team's offense.
Compared with Li Liang, he is a point guard after all, and it is his duty to organize offense.
Especially after Li Liang's debut and Green was basically abolished, Curry had to play a stronger team, otherwise there would be no one to organize.
Both sides then made mistakes.
With a score of 60:69, the two sides went into an official timeout.
On the Warriors' side, Kerr replaced Curry for a little rest and went to Livingston.
However, Curry didn't have a long break off the court, and Kerr only gave him a little more than 2 minutes of rest.
When the score came to 64-71, Kerr took advantage of a foul opportunity from Li Liang to replace Curry.
As if to let Curry cool down and develop a feeling, Kerr's substitution method is indeed unique.
Li Liang caused a foul on Green under the basket, and Green was about to be killed by Li Liang.
Both free throws were hit, 64-73, and the difference came back to 9 points.
The Warriors worked hard for half a quarter and returned to the first half overnight.
But at this time, Curry began his scoring feast again.
First, he took advantage of Speight's cover on the right side, made a quick three-point shot, and the ball bounced twice on the basket before falling into the net.
Not only did the ball go in, but Green also caused a foul on Singer's card position under the basket.
Three points count, Green has to add a penalty!
This guy in Singel, replaced Durant to go down to rest, and as a result, he gave a big gift.
Li Liang pushed him away and said, "Green is handed over to me to deal with, what should you do?" ”
Green added a free throw and the Warriors scored four points in one round.
Li Liang can indeed deal with Green, but as long as Green is not in line with Li Liang, he is not afraid.
Subsequently, Westbrook rushed through the Warriors' defense by himself and went to the basket, only to be defended by Green with a big hat!
Green's defensive nose is indeed quite sharp.
This is a very clean and beautiful size cap.
Even the commentator couldn't help but exclaim, "A beautiful cap!" ”
The Warriors got a chance to fight back.
This time, Curry did not choose to pass the ball again, but after dribbling through the halfcourt, he continued to dribble under his crotch, found an opportunity, and made a direct three-point shot at 45 on the left side, and then hit!
It's as if sitting and resting off the court for a while, Curry's hand can be recharged.
With two three-pointers in a row, the difference has been forced to close to only two points.
At this time, how could Li Liang still let Westbrook attack?
High post, Westbrook and Li Liang's pick-and-roll.
Li Liang cuts outside, Westbrook passes, Li Liang catches the ball.
At this time, the players on the Warriors court all knew that Li Liang might be about to make a three-point shot.
But after Li Liang received the ball one step outside the three-point line, he still shot quickly in the face of the double defense of Iguodala and Curry!
With a flick of his wrist, Li Liang's shooting speed was very fast, and he didn't need much room to shoot.
He completely ignored the blocking interference because the shot was too fast and there was too little preparation.
The ball flew straight to the basket, smashed on the inside edge of the basket, and hit!
Since improving his shooting posture, Li Liang's three-point shooting arc is a little straighter than in the past.
Correspondingly, the hit rate dropped slightly.
However, the space requirements and speed of the shot are greatly improved.
In the past, it was necessary to use distance for space, but now it is not.
I can shoot far away, and I'm not afraid if you pounce on the three-point line to defend me.
Li Liang's goal is to really ignore interference, and it doesn't make a difference to me whether you defend or not.
And Curry, after hitting consecutive three-pointers, began to use his appeal to make a fuss.
After attracting the attention of the Thunder's defense, a plug was given to Speight.
Speights hits a toss to the basket.
This is where Curry is deadliest.
He has strong three-point ability and defensive appeal.
And because of his strong three-point shot, he can open up a huge space to pass the ball to his teammates.
In this respect, Li Liang and Curry are very similar, but they are not quite the same.
Curry's appeal is more when he has the ball, and he can walk a few defenders like a dog with the ball in his hand.
And Li Liang's attraction appears more when he is without the ball, and when he stands there, there are three people in front of him.
This has something to do with the difference in the positions of the two, and it also has something to do with the style of play.
Li Liang doesn't like to walk the dog, he will choose to directly force the shot, which is brought about by the size gap between the two.
73:76, a three-point difference.
The ball is still in Westbrook's hands.
Li Liang started to run without the ball at this time.
He slipped out of the bottom corner and opened up space in the bottom left corner.
Sure enough, the warriors were surrounded by three people, and Li Liang didn't have the ball in his hand.
Westbrook seized the opportunity this time, and after breaking through the middle, he burst into a dunk and won it!
After that, Curry also wanted to pass the ball to Speights for a layup, but was intercepted by Li Liang.
Li Liang observed his teammates' running position in the counterattack, commanded his teammates, and then threw himself ......
45 degrees on the left side of the ultra-long distance three-point, and then hit!
73:81! Reopen the score.
The energy center is jubilant!
The Golden State Warriors forced out the best Li Liang.
But is this the best for him? Perhaps this is the best he has ever been in the eyes of people.
At first, Li Liang knew in his heart that this was not the strongest him.
And the Warriors Kerr and Curry also know in their hearts that this is not the strongest Bruce Lee.
The strongest Bruce Lee, they've seen it in the finals.
What does such a long-range three-point counterattack represent?
