After that, Westbrook didn't get another chance to play.

Li Liang and Durant chopped melons and vegetables, and beat the Rockets, who lacked defensive ability on the front line.

The Rockets have always had problems with the lineup, when Yao Ming was there, the top power forwards in the league were rampant, but Yao Ming never had an excellent power forward around him.

Now that the NBA is the era of small forwards, the Rockets will be done if they get an Ariza, and they will not look at the level of the Warriors and Thunder in the same district.

Relying on Harden, the Rockets desperately squeezed, and they could still top one in the first three quarters, but as soon as the opponent exerted their strength in the fourth quarter, the Rockets couldn't stand it.

Under the long-arm formation of the Thunder front, Harden missed a three-point shot and rushed inside to make a foul, but the referee didn't blow it.

And Li Liang and Durant, one-on-one can't defend, wrap up? How do you wrap the clip.

Ariza single-handedly sandwiched Li Liangjia Durant?

The two unleashed an 18:4 offensive attack wave, and the wave knocked the rocket down.

The two sides fought in front of the lively and lively, and in the end, as soon as the Thunder forced, the rocket fell.

At 110:100, the Rockets scored 100 points, but the Thunder had 10 more points than the Rockets and easily took out the Rockets at home.

The difference in strength between the two teams is still too big.

Li Liang came off the bench in this game, but he played nearly 40 minutes in total, and it is also an ability to use a substitute for 40 minutes.

He scored a game-high 31 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, three steals and three assists.

Li Liang was selected as the best player of the game on the spot, and in an interview with reporters, Li Liang said, "I played a little too much today, and I sweated a little." ”

There aren't many games that make Li Liang sweat, and so far this season, there should be no more than five games that have made him sweat.

In this game, Durant basically didn't sweat, and he sprinted a little in the fourth quarter, and was forced to walk the rest of the time.

……

The month of March is also running out as the NBA regular season begins to draw to a close.

Li Liang still didn't make any progress in the task of [Spiritual Ability], so he still stayed in that barbecue restaurant and fought against Thurmond on his back.

Li Liang made various attempts, such as leaving the barbecue restaurant to visit all parts of San Francisco.

Go to the mall, go to the bar, swim in the beach, help out at the restaurant, and so on.

If this is a big game, Li Liang is stuck, and he doesn't know what went wrong.

And compared to the game, he can't do too many things in the mission, such as hitting people, hitting people, and robbing banks.

As soon as he was about to do it, the system would kick him out of the mission.

This made Li Liang a little impetuous, so he didn't care about this task for the time being, and first concentrated on the final stage of the regular season and the competition for the first place in the league with the Warriors.

The Thunder will have to lose two more games if they want to have the best record in history.

At the same time, the coaching staff decided to start rotating the main players on the last two weeks of the match day starting in April.

But among those who took turns to rest, Li Liang was not included.

The reason is that you have played too few games in the previous game, and you should play more and find your form.

Li Liang knows that this is creating an opportunity for himself to impact the MVP.

So he naturally resisted the team's main offensive task and began to soar in the MVP battle.

On March 24, the Thunder hosted the visiting Utah Jazz.

Kevin Durant and Westbrook scored a total of 30 points, while Li Liang scored 40 points alone, leading the team to 119-91, a 28-point advantage to sweep the Jazz.

On March 26, the San Antonio Spurs, who are third in the West and have won 50 wins, came to the energy center.

The new stars of the Spurs backcourt, with Wiggins and Booker as the combination, have shown amazing talent under the tutelage of Popovich.

Booker's scoring explosiveness and Wiggins' athleticism have always been coveted by the Spurs and are the fresh blood they desperately need.

Suffice it to say, the future of this spur is bright.

Then, Li Liang came off the bench this time, scoring 51 points in the third quarter, giving the Spurs a pre-dawn darkness.

120:92, another 28-point victory, exactly the same as Li Liang's jersey number.

Wiggins and Booker combined for just 25 points, and only Li Liang scored half of the points alone.

Li Liang scored more than 90 points in the two games, which made people see how terrible the MVP of the single-core championship last season was.

Accurate three-pointers, unstoppable pick-and-roll impact to the basket, and weirdly rhythmic close-range pullup jumpers, the defender fell into a dilemma of not being able to defend.

At the time of the walker, you can boldly wrap the bag.

In Thunder, how do you wrap the clip? When Durant doesn't exist?

And Durant has also become the biggest feint force in history.

In the past, it was Li Liang who helped his teammates open up space, but now it is Durant's turn to help Li Liang attract defense.

Two cups of poison, you always have to drink one.

There is also a cup of antidote, but it will not necessarily work, it depends on luck.

After playing the Spurs, the Thunder team flew to Toronto non-stop to face the Raptors on the road.

The schedule of the second half of the Thunder season is indeed much more difficult than the first half of the season, with strong teams one after another.

In this game, Kevin Durant finally broke out and no longer sat on the feint team.

He scored 35 points and added eight assists.

Li Liang became a pillar of the interior when Adams encountered a foul crisis, scoring 21 points and 20 rebounds with double 20 data.

Another big win, 121:100, a 21-point difference.

The Thunder, who swept the league at the beginning of the season, seem to be back.

After some ups and downs in the middle of the season, clocking in the third quarter has become a daily routine for the Thunder again.

On the other side, the Warriors' winning streak has not stopped.

On the 23rd, they beat the Clippers at home.

With the Clippers still leading by 2 points in the first half, a wave broke the Clippers in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, it continued to fall into the well and completely sank the Clippers.

The final score was 114:95.

After that, they defeated the Mavericks and 76ers in a row, and their opponents were much weaker than the Thunder.

Overall, the Thunder's closing schedule is more difficult, while the Warriors are relatively easy, which makes it more difficult for the Thunder to challenge for the all-time best record.

On March 29, the Thunder finished playing the Raptors and went to Detroit to play away non-stop to challenge the Pistons.

Eastern teams like the Pistons that don't meet in the playoffs, are not very strong, and meet twice a season, coaches generally don't make careful preparations.

And because it was a back-to-back away game, the team also rested Durant in rotation and let Westbrook and Li Liang lead the team.

As a result, it went wrong in the game.

In the first half, the Thunder still led the Pistons and had no advantage.

In the third quarter, the whole team suddenly fell into a state of collective dumbness.

Donovan may not have felt the game was difficult enough, and he opted to start Sinigler.

Singer really saved the Donovan family in his last life.

The Singel offensive was so-so, and that's it.

But the defense is really not good, it was penetrated by Marcus Morris, and the outside line couldn't be defended.

In the end, Li Liang stood up and became the captain of the firefight.

The Thunder scored a measly 10 points in the entire third quarter.

From leading in the first half to trailing by 9 points in the fourth quarter.

Donovan's brain was wise again, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he didn't let Westbrook play, and let Li Liang lead the team.

Li Liang led the team and began to turn the tide and played the state of [Heavenly King].

hit mid-range, three-pointers in a row, and contributed two steals in a row on the defensive end to assist teammates to counterattack and overtake the score.

But as soon as Westbrook came on the court, he was overtaken by the Pistons.

Li Liang thought to himself, coach, you are here to make it more difficult for me to win and give me more opportunities to perform.

Thank you so much.

Facing the Pistons six-man group, Li Liang withstood the pressure, and at the critical moment, he received the ball with his back and turned around and scored two points to overtake the score.

Li Liang found that his back body could still be used?

It seems that practicing every day on Thurmond's side, although the efficiency is very low, but it is still effective.

But he also thought, if Lao Tzu wants to practice his back, can't he directly practice the task of back? Can you afford to spend money on this task?

This key goal helped the Thunder narrowly beat the Pistons on the road, 89-88, with a one-point advantage.

Li Liang scored 28 points in the whole game and contributed a very crucial quasi-kill shot.

Although it was very risky to win, the good thing is that fans and the media began to feel that Li Liang played well.
