Jump the ball in the middle circle and the game begins.

As Li Liang said to Wei Dazhi on June 3rd, "The last crown of the three consecutive championships is always the most difficult." ”

Counting the three consecutive championship teams in history, not to mention the eight consecutive championships of the Celtics, a league has a total of eight teams, and the difficulty of winning consecutive championships is completely different from the current one.

Since basketball entered the "modernization" in the 80s, there have been several teams that have fallen on the road to three consecutive championships, and all of them have been relatively miserable.

The Lakers in 1989 were swept in the first three rounds, but they were injured in the finals and were swept 0:4 by the Pistons.

The Pistons in 1991, facing the Chicago Bulls, had won them for three years in a row, but they were swept in just three times.

The rocket in 1996 allowed you to avoid the supersonic speed for two consecutive years, and you couldn't avoid it this year, and you were swept again!

In the 2011 Lakers, Lao Ke rushed to the second triple championship in his career, but everyone knows that he was still swept!

These four teams that failed to win three consecutive championships did not escape the fate of being swept in the end, which shows that they always have to pay back.

And the only one to achieve a triple championship is the Bulls and Lakers led by Phil Jackson.

The 1993 Bulls had their worst regular season record of 57-25 during a six-time championship period.

The 1998 Bulls were Jordan's toughest and god's crown, with injuries, quarrels, and aging that accompanied the entire season.

The 2002 Lakers, who almost died at the hands of the Kings in the Western Conference Finals, one of the most controversial series of the 21st century.

So Phil Jackson later said that the modern era has reached the end of three consecutive championships, and there can be no four consecutive championships.

Li Liang said to Wei Dazhi that "the last crown of the three consecutive championships is the most difficult," there is undoubtedly a certain truth.

But if you think about it, can you be the same as the above examples?

After three years of experience in a team, the spirit was lost, the personnel were aging, the tactics were thoroughly studied, and the third championship was extremely difficult.

You Bruce Lee is good, repeatedly jumping sideways, three teams in three years, and every year is the "first impact championship", can this TM be the same?

Of course, if you say it and splash it out, before the game started, Li Liang's remarks caused a lot of shock.

It's not that Li Liang is ridiculed or ridiculed, but Li Liang is really standing in front of an unprecedented achievement: a personal triple championship.

As the two sides jumped the ball, commentator Jeff Van Gundy, who was on the scene to comment, said: "Bruce Lee is now on his way to his three-in-a-row title. To be honest, when he won two championships in Los Angeles, I thought it was miraculous enough, he went to Indiana and it made people think he might have to sink or learn some lessons. However, Larry Bird made it all possible, and now he's starting to challenge for his championship again. ”

Van Gundy is right about one thing, compared with the Lakers and Clippers, the original lineup of the two teams with Li Liang is directly at the championship level, while the Pacers' lineup is really not good, Li Liang still takes Paul George to replace.

It wasn't until the big deal that Smith, Shambaugh, McGee, signed Granger, and traded Garnett, and little by little pieced together this powerful "ragtag army".

If the ragtags have a strong leader, they can also compete for the championship.

In the opening jump shot, McGee was still a little more jumpy than Bogut, and he got to the ball, and the Pacers started their first offense.

The opening offense of the Pacers is very simple, Hill is on the left side 45 degrees to Li Liang to block and dismantle, Li Liang cut, Hill immediately returned the ball to Li Liang, Li Liang received the ball at 45 degrees on the left side and shot three-pointer, hit!

The door is open for three minutes, which is a good sign.

To be honest, Li Liang still likes to play at Oracle Arena.

Every time he plays here, he will be warmly welcomed by the Chinese fans, making him feel at home.

At the same time, the American fans of the Warriors, the enthusiasm and anger are not worth a lot at all, and they have made Li Liang return full of them every time, which is really beautiful.

So playing at Oracle, Li Liang is always very relaxed.

Hitting a three-pointer in the opening game means he had a good hand tonight.

This made Warriors coach Kerr on the sidelines frown a little.

The Warriors' first offense featured a baseline-cut combination.

High post Curry passed the ball to Green, high post responded, Thompson ran to the basket in the left bottom corner, Green accurately passed, Thompson made a layup, but was interfered with by McGee and missed the shot.

McGee grabbed the rebound.

McGee has grown a lot in this playoffs, making fewer mistakes, doing a good job of protecting the basket and eating cakes, and has become the pillar of the interior defense within the Pacers.

It can be said that exchanging Hibbert for McGee is really a clever trick for Bird.

Otherwise, with Hibbert's current movement ability and low-post attack power that doesn't have much effect, the Pacers really won't have the current results.

Then, JR-Smith held the ball, accelerated directly on the right side, forced the basket, passed the ball to the middle after being trapped, Li Liang received the ball in a high position, and shot three points far away against Green's defense - again!

At the beginning, Li Liang hit two three-pointers in a row and threw the Oracle Arena quietly.

The Warriors players started obviously a little tightly, after all, they were all playing in the finals for the first time, and they were already old fritters like Li Liang.

has been in the league for three years, has not been absent every year, and has led different teams to the finals every year, and there is definitely no one who has the ability to adapt.

And Li Liang is not afraid of defending his Green at all, although you are known as the "Little James of the West" (I don't know who is called it), but I have won all the games of James, and I am still afraid of your trumpet?

Green defended Li Liang, height, arm span, speed, and strength all suffered in an all-round way, I really don't know what Cole thinks.

Then, on the Warriors' side, Curry caused a defensive foul on Hill.

After Curry blocked and dismantled with Bogut, the Pacers' defense was replaced, and McGee came out to defend Curry.

Curry hit a small and big shot, and forced a shot from a 45-degree three-point pull-out on the right side, but missed.

Li Liang protected the backcourt rebound.

When McGee was out, Li Liang's rebounding pressure on the inside was quite high.

Thankfully, Green and Barnes weren't as tall as him.

And Li Liang's posture of grabbing rebounds is called a ferocious, after getting the ball, the elbow is propped up and turned, you dare to come over, and serve directly with the iron elbow.

This is what Li Liang learned from Bill Lambier in the game when he was doing a task.

Anyway, the good ones don't learn, and the bad Li Liang learns very quickly.

The Pacers played a quick counterattack, and Hill drove straight to the basket with the ball, only to have a layup that was interfered with by Bogut and missed.

McGee followed, grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and gave it to Li Liang in the middle, Li Liang made a feint to pass the ball to Hill who ran to the bottom corner, but it didn't - what did I pass to Hill, he was not allowed to score three points.

I'll vote for it myself!

This ball must have been passed by James, but Li Liang felt just right, and it was impossible for him to pass it.

You don't have my permission to vote, why should I pass it on?

As a result, Li Liang was a little to the right, and after the passing feint shook off the defender, he made another three-point shot and hit again!

What is this called, this is called Lianzhong Sanyuan.

The Warriors' defense under the basket just now was very beautiful, the defense was extremely fast, and the basket protection under the basket was also excellent.

But in terms of defending Li Liang on the outside, it seems that he has not made any preparations.

After a block, it missed, after a bag split, it leaked, and after a pass feint, it leaked again.

Please, this is a two-time Finals MVP, the founder of a mobile dynasty, a three-time personal champion impactor, the first person in three-point history, the spokesperson for super three-point shooting, the James Throne player, Bruce Lee!

Steve Cole, can you respect a little bit? Send two more people to defend me, don't let this No. 23 little James who can't see anything but his teeth come to deal with me, okay?

The third three-point hit, the opening 9:0, after the goal Li Liang shook his head.

Who looks down on this warrior's defense?

Kerr immediately called a timeout to rearrange the defense.

The Warriors did suffer a big loss at the beginning, and Kerr seemed to be too confident in the team's offense and overall ability.
