Chapter 461: Looking at Manu in a desperate situation
For a long time, Li Liang has been faced with a problem: what if the system disappears one day, what will he do?
Therefore, from the beginning of getting the system, Li Liang has been training hard, doing tasks, and improving himself through various means.
His day tends to be three or four hours longer than others, because he is also training while he sleeps.
The urgency that the system might disappear kept urging him.
At the same time, he is gradually reducing his reliance on props, especially during the regular season.
When it comes to the playoffs, when it is time to win the game and use props, he will never be relentless.
With the continuous improvement of his own strength, Li Liang's self-confidence is also getting stronger and stronger.
Of course, for Li Liang, his goal is not only to win the game in reality, but also to become the strongest player in history.
To be the best player, he has to be able to beat Michael Jordan in the system.
There, he can't use any props.
There is the real Iron Throne in Li Liang's mind, and if you want to climb it, you have no support, only your own hands and feet.
Thinking about this, what is it to win a game without props in reality?
Is my Gan Liliang's hard-earned ability all decoration?
In the last 4 minutes, 103:110, 7 points, the timeout ended, and the game continued.
"Jeff, do you think the Clippers can win the game? Also, What happened to Bruce Lee? Can you explain? ”
"I think the Spurs still have a better chance of winning, but the Clippers definitely have a chance, they need to defend, they have to defend this shot. As for Bruce Lee, he is a person who simply can't explain it, and he doesn't need to explain it. ”
Van Gundy, as a commentator, has completely abandoned his impartiality and objectivity and sided with the Clippers.
But at this time, who is not?
At this time, the referee's whistle blows, and the Spurs send a sideline ball.
As soon as the ball was released, Barnes immediately fouled Duncan.
Foul Tactics!
Because Leonard and Ginobili both hit one of two free throws before, Rivers asked for a foul on Duncan or Split during the timeout, betting that they would hit one of the two free throws or miss to save time and give the team an offensive opportunity.
After all, if the Spurs were to open up and play their positions, they would have dragged on for 24 seconds.
Duncan stood on the free throw line, Duncan's free throw shooting rate was neither high nor low, relatively stable, but not stable enough to say that sending him free throws was to give away points.
Duncan steadied himself and hit the first free throw.
Immediately afterwards, the second penalty went in, and both free throws were hit!
There was jubilation at the AT&T center, and hitting both free throws meant that Rivers' foul tactic was basically a failure.
Next, the Clippers must score three points.
However, Popovich did not want to give Li Liang a chance to shoot three points, and also used foul tactics.
As soon as the Clippers sent the ball, they fouled Jordan Jr.
Jordan Jr.'s free throw was not as good as Duncan's, standing on the free throw line, and the scene was booed.
As a result, the first penalty was not scored, which was terrible.
Li Liang pulled little Jordan aside and said, "Relax the penalty, if you don't score, I will get a rebound in the frontcourt." ”
Jordan Jr. nodded, but the second penalty was relaxed and he actually threw it.
Two free throws and one hit, the difference becomes 1 point.
Can Li Liang really grab a rebound in the front court?
He can't guarantee that with Split and Duncan here, it's too difficult to rush for frontcourt rebounds.
But his words relieved Jordan Jr. of a little psychological burden.
It's good to get 1 point, and every point has the potential to determine the final result.
The Clippers' foul tactics didn't work, but instead folded by 1 point.
But the Clippers didn't give up, and they began to play full-court pressing tactics.
Collison stuck to Parker, Parker held the ball quickly across the halfcourt, Barnes came over to wrap up, and Parker distributed the ball to Ginobili.
Ginobili flanked the ball and walked inside, came out in a circle, and began to slowly dribble for time.
The Clippers can't stop the Spurs from dragging their feet, and what they're going to do is absolutely never let the Spurs score.
It would be too hurtful to drag it until 24 seconds and then let them throw one.
With 2 seconds left on the clock, Ginobili opted for a step-back step and then made a 45-degree three-point shot on the left!
At the moment when the timer lights up, the ball hits the basket and the ball goes in!
Ginobili!
Looking at Manu in a desperate situation, this sentence is not just talking.
Now, the Spurs aren't in a corner, but Ginobili has put the Clippers in a corner.
104:115, the difference has come to 11 points!
Ginobili's shot was almost a death sentence for the Clippers.
Spurs fans are chanting for Ginobili again.
However, 5 seconds later, Li Liang received the ball and quickly passed through the halfcourt, taking advantage of the slackness after the Spurs defensive end scored, and also rushed to the left three-point line, making a three-point shot!
Ginobili wanted to block the ball from behind, but his hand hit Li Liang's hand and fouled!
Li Liang wants to make a free throw!
It's really an angel one moment, and a devil the next.
Just hit a three-pointer and immediately sent the opponent three free throws.
But this is Ginobili, and this is also the style he has always played, and he is very gambling.
If he really covers this ball, the Clippers will really lose.
Li Liang stood on the free throw line and made all three free throws steadily.
He's already got 30 points.
But the score didn't matter to him, and after hitting all three free throws, the difference came to 8 points, but there were only 3 minutes left.
The Spurs continued to grind for time, slowly consuming it.
For the Clippers, time is the worst enemy, but the initiative is not in their hands.
This time the Spurs' finisher was Pat, whose throw in the middle was interfered with by Jordan Jr. and missed.
Jamison struggled to grab the backcourt rebound and wanted to hand over the ball to Li Liang, but Leonard posted it over, and Jamison could only give the ball to Collison.
With just over 2 minutes left, the Clippers need to score quickly.
Collison handed the ball to Li Liang at half-time, and Li Liang held the ball at the top of the arc.
He has to play on his own, but attacking with the ball in this position is not what he's good at.
The Spurs' defense is very clear, pressing, constantly pressing Li Liang, targeting his weakness with the ball.
Li Liang was very calm at this time, and he still had a chance to [enter the soul with one shot].
He dribbled the ball and spotted Danny Green's chance to get a step to block the line, and with a smash to the ground, the ball whirlwind through the gap and into the hands of Crawford, who cut in the air.
Crawford took the ball and burst into the basket, Duncan assisted in the defense, Crawford threw a high toss, Jordan Jr. relayed in the air, and won the dunk!
There's still a chance!
Li Liang's calmness led the entire Clippers team, and even Crawford could pass such a ball.
Li Liang and Crawford gave a light high-five, which was a good match.
The Clippers players, who originally gave up after playing half the game, were finally aroused by Li Liang to have the will to fight.
They still have a chance, even if it's just a regular season game, and who wouldn't want to win?
The margin came to six points, and Popovich didn't call a timeout.
This is still a relatively safe score.
But if you don't hit it again in the attack, it's a bit dangerous.
Parker held the ball past halfcourt, where he handed it to Ginobili and then walked inside to take away the defense, Duncan lifted up the pick-and-roll screen, and Leonard ambushed in the bottom right corner.
This is a common positional offensive tactic used by the Spurs, and it is also commonly used in key moments, leaving Ginobili to decide the game.
Although the Pampas Eagle has become an old vulture of the Pampas, he can still soar over the court and see the game clearly.
The Clippers' defense has shrunk so much that at this time they have to bet that the Spurs won't be able to shoot from the outside.
But Ginobili didn't play his cards according to common sense, and after Duncan's cover, Ginobili made a serpentine move into the three-second zone, and he didn't get a chance to make a layup under Jordan Jr.'s care.
But after coming out of the baseline, Ginobili suddenly made a jumper that turned over!
Barnes' defense was leaky, and he gave Ginobili a chance to shoot in order to help defend Duncan and Split and prevent Ginobili's pass.
A mid-range two-pointer, hit!
109:117, still a desperate 8 points.
"Ginobili, this goal is so lethal, a very, very deadly goal, Ginobili's offensive options are still unbelievable......"
Van Gundy's words were full of admiration and regret, because he felt that the Clippers should have no chance, although the goal was still 8 points, but time was consumed.
When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, it was still Li Liang who held the ball, and he had no skills at this time.
The Spurs are still a duo or even a trio and don't take it easy, but Leonard will definitely stick to prevent you from suddenly making a three-point shot.
If you break through, someone on both wings will come and interfere.
Li Liang can't be like Wade, one step at a time, as many people as many people come.
After repeatedly dribbling on the outside, Li Liang chose to pull out a three-point shot!
This is not the offensive style he is good at, and the ball really didn't go in, smashed into the neck of the basket and bounced far away.
"I didn't shoot a three-point shot...... This ......" Van Gundy was close to announcing that the Clippers had failed to turn around, but the ball wasn't over.
Li Liang knew that he would not score as soon as he made a three-point shot, and in order to avoid Leonard's interference, the shot was particularly strong,?? So he knew that the ball must have been broken far away.
After landing, Li Liang immediately rushed in the direction of his feelings, and the ball really flew over and fell directly into Li Liang's hands!
It's really a magical judgment of the landing point, but Li Liang just did it, this is his own ball.
If you get the ball, you still have a chance!
Li Liang took a step forward with the ball, Duncan and Split defended it in pair, Li Liang did not break through, and chose a stop-and-go jump shot!
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and the ball blew for a foul on one of Split's thugs!
And the ball still hits the board into the basket and hits three points!
Split was obviously in a hurry, anxious to end the game, and the result was to give Li Liang a chance to score three points.
"There's still a chance, the Clippers still have a chance!" Van Gundy said excitedly.
Li Liang hit a free throw at the free throw line, 112:117, only 5 points away!
Popovich called a timeout.
With more than a minute to go until the end of the game, the Clippers have to defend two shots and have every chance to win this game.
Although the opportunity is very weak, with Li Liang, everything is possible.
But Li Liang now has to face a problem, he hasn't made a three-pointer in a while.
