Harden suffered a loss on Li Liang, not only failed to make a foul, but was also fouled by Li Liang.

It's really a goose all day long but he was pecked blind by a goose, Sun Wukong met the Buddha and couldn't turn over the palm of his hand.

After Li Liang entered the league, he was only afraid of one type of player, who was a real talent monster and had excellent one-on-one strength.

Anthony and Durant are like this, Lao Tzu is horizontal, hard power is strong, so Li Liang really doesn't have many ways.

You can only rely on props, intelligence, and the overall strength of the team to defeat the opponent.

But if you encounter opportunism, then I'm sorry, can you have me to be opportunistic?

Lao Tzu has never been a garbage player in the NBA, and he has been opportunistic all the way to do tasks, can you compare with me?

Therefore, players like Green and Harden, whose hard power is flawed and rely on the use of rules or systems to add bonuses, are a bit difficult to use when they meet Li Liang.

Like Harden, you have a whistle, do you know that in the entire NBA except Crawford, all referees have to respect me for three points?

You have the ability to let Crawford blow it, he doesn't blow you to death first, I'll write it the other way around.

The Rockets struggled for a short time after a strong start.

And Harden learned to be obedient after being deflated by Li Liang, and began to pass, giving Al Jefferson a low post single, and Josh Smith an air relay, and the Rockets' offense slowed down.

But the Pacers are already in shape.

West, Granger, and JR-Smith all scored points, which can be described as a multi-point flower.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led the Rockets by four points at 29:25.

Harden scored five points in the first quarter on a free-throw and mid-range jumper.

Harden sat a little depressed sitting off the court, with a towel draped over his head and big eyes staring, probably unable to figure out why Bruce Lee was so difficult to deal with?

And Li Liang doesn't have Harden in his heart, he doesn't deserve it.

He sat on the sidelines and discussed with Brown about interior defense, especially help defense.

As the defensive core on the field and the dispatcher of defense, Li Liang is always learning.

When he was with the Lakers, he learned how to be a 3-and-D, and with the Clippers he learned how to be a good No. 4 defender.

Now, he's going to learn how to be a good defensive center.

If you don't do it, you will do it best.

Brown feels that after a while of studying, Li Liang can learn how to coach.

As the core of the interior defense, you must have a sense of the whole picture and be able to observe every point under the basket.

The protection of rebounds, three-second zones, fronts, and the baseline should be comprehensive.

Anyway, Brown poured out his money and told Li Liang all kinds of details.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if he can listen to it or not, he should be able to understand it.

After three minutes of exchange, the Pacers' second lineup and the Rockets battled fiercely.

Stephenson went up and threw two three-pointers, none of which went in......

Brewer used the counterattack, twisted his body, and used a cross step to get past the defender and pick the basket.

Then, the second counterattack came, Bruce distributed the ball to Corey Brewer, Brewer counterattacked and made a layup, only to be covered from behind by CJ Myers!

The Pacers are now on defense, resolutely not making the same mistake twice.

It was the Pacers' turn to fight back, and this time Stephenson calmed down, and if he didn't calm down, he would be scolded.

A long pass to Scola who cut into the basket, and after Scola received the ball, he licked the basket easily.

As long as Stephenson's brain is not hot, he is still very capable of leading the team.

The two sides went back and forth, but the Pacers never fell behind, and the score came to 35:31, still maintaining a four-point lead.

At this point, the game went into an official timeout.

Li Liang scolded Fensen first, "Can you get past your brain in the future?" Yes? Are you me? If you can't shoot one of those balls, you have to shoot the second one, and good things come in pairs? Find your rhythm OK? And, defend, defend! ”

Stephenson nodded again and again at what Li Liang said.

After the game restarted, he began to defend desperately like chicken blood, and his main defender was Harden.

Harden went off the court in the second half of the first quarter and reappeared in the second quarter, and Li Liang also returned to the court.

The two sides played back and forth in the second quarter, and generally there was no shock.

Li Liang seems to have really incarnated as the Dinghai Shenshen Needle on the inside, putting a lot of his energy on defense and rebounding protection, and really centering himself.

On the offensive end, Granger, Stephenson, J.R. Smith and others were given full autonomy to attack.

In this way, the Pacers seem to have become the Detroit Pistons of the year.

One big Ben on the inside focuses on defense, and the remaining four people are responsible for attacking.

But the problem is, this Big Ben is the league's leading scorer this year......

Of course, Li Liang's defensive level is not up to the level of Big Ben, but Big Ben will be his target.

Compared with last season, the Rockets have a more reasonable lineup, strong bench raiding ability, and Harden is more mature.

So the score kept tight, and by the end of the second quarter, the two sides were tied at 53:51, and the Pacers led the Rockets by 2 points.

The offensive success rate on both sides is not very high, and the pacers control the pace well and have been suppressing the Rockets.

Harden, in the face of Li Liang's blocked offense, was smart to turn to organization.

Needless to say, the two offensive masters, one defense, and one organization, are all focused on the third quarter, and they have to fight to the death in the third quarter.

Let's see who is the real number one actor in the league.

Li Liang actually doesn't want to be an actor, if a good player doesn't do it, what kind of drama will he play?

But there is no way, there are too many people who can act on the NBA court, and if you don't agree with each other, you won't accept it, and you will be looked down on if you are cheated.

Such a situation is unacceptable to Li Liang.

And Harden is currently at the Oscar level of acting in the NBA, and he will inevitably go down in film history.

Don't fight with Harden, I'm sorry for Harden's beard.

After halftime, the third quarter began.

The Pacers started their first offense.

Li Liang made a pick-and-roll for JR Smith in the high post and collided with Harden.

Harden doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, but first respects.

Li Liang came to borrow strength, you will also fall......

The referee is stupid, what about the beginning of this third quarter, and it was played?

It didn't blow, and then Smith held the ball and went straight to the basket, shook off Josh Smith, and made a right-handed layup.

Harden couldn't break his leg when he hit the porcelain, so he could only get up and complained to the referee again.

The mentality is broken, Harden's mentality is a little broken, and this third quarter has just begun.

The collapse is still to come.

Then on offense, Ariza missed a three-point attempt.

The Pacers counterattacked, and the Rockets defended well, but in the end, Harden missed JR Smith and let Smith catch the ball on the left side and shoot a three-pointer with 24 seconds left at the buzzer.

This kind of ball is too demoralizing.

Then, Beverley missed an outside jumper and the Pacers didn't make it back.

The Rockets grabbed the backcourt rebound and then counterattacked, Josh Smith received a pass from Harden and burst through the middle and distributed the ball to Ariza in the bottom corner.

As a result, the ball was passed, but the person knocked down Li Liang, who was standing in the three-second zone.

Ariza hit a three-pointer but was whistled out because Josh Smith fouled first.

There was a boo at the scene, thinking that this whistle was too biased towards the Pacers.

But when the video was played back on the big screen, the audience couldn't say anything.

Because Li Liang stood very solidly in this position, he made an offensive foul solidly.

Harden looks stupid, damn it, this is the master.

Subsequently, Harden didn't know if he wanted to learn art with Li Liang, or if he wanted to continue to learn acting skills.

Li Liang came out again in the offense to cover JR Smith - Smith became the main offense of the Pacers in the second half, because at halftime, Bird wanted Smith to attack Harden more.

Harden touched Li Liang again, and Li Liang wanted to go down after blocking people, but Harden pulled Li Liang to prevent him from going down.

At the same time, Harden had to chase Smith, and as a result, Harden somehow jumped on Li Liang's back......

"NM......" Li Liangguo blurted out when he scolded.

Harden's fat man of more than 200 pounds, coupled with the momentum, pressed Li Liang's back, unprepared, where can he afford it?

If it weren't for Li Liang's strength and the [Body of Steel] suit, he might have been overwhelmed.

In this way, Li Liang was also a stumbling man, almost afraid of the ground.

The referees were stunned, and it took a second before the whistle blew and blew Harden's foul.

Li Liang threw Harden down and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Harden scratched his head, "I'm defending. ”

"What kind of defense is he?"

"Anti-back."
