In the last game against the Heat in the finals last year, Li Qiang scored 67 points, 8 assists, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 6 blocks, finally breaking the mythical record of 63 points in a single playoff game set by Jordan before.

Here you can see why Jordan is known as the last god of basketball. In the regular season, Kobe Bryant can score 81 points, and Chamberlain can score 100 points, but that's just the regular season, and the opponent will give up treatment!

Only the playoffs are the real litmus test of a team's ability and a person's ability! Because compared to the defensive intensity of the playoffs, the regular season can only be regarded as a playhouse! How many star-studded All-Stars have wilted in an instant in the playoffs?

In addition to this 63 points, Jordan also set a record of 54~56 points in five playoff games, which is the real strength! Chamberlain, on the other hand, scored 56 points only once, 53 points once. In contrast, the judgment is made from the top. Don't say how 100 points go against the sky, Jordan just didn't make a force in the regular season!

And the defensive intensity in the Jordan era was much higher than in the Chamberlain era. The tolerance for blowing fouls in the Jordan era was the most lenient ever, and there was no body hair foul at all! It can be said that even if Li Qiang gets the same score as Jordan now, the difficulty is lower than in that era!

That's where the last basketball god came in! That's why the last basketball god was named a god!

Now 20 years have passed, and after the league has experienced a small chapter in the era of the great powers and the Lakers Kobe Bryant, it has finally ushered in an unprecedented era of mythology: the era of Li Qiang!

Yes, these are unprecedented times, because no one has ever been able to take the sport of basketball to such heights. Perhaps this is also an era of no one after the future, because in the eyes of Westerners who do not understand ancient Chinese martial arts, Li Qiang's basketball talent may be the most unique in human history.

"Why are your hands still a little itchy today? Anyway, a really strong person is sent and received from the heart. If you want to play for a while, let's continue to play for a while, and let's practice shooting. Li Qiang thought in his heart.

After explaining his intention to coach Sanders, Li Qiang did a simple warm-up exercise and played again.

The head coach of the Thunder was not hopeful about the game, he just wanted to restrain Li Qiang and let out a vicious breath.

"Three-person bag!" He waved his hand.

Du Shao, Wei Shao and Perkins put down their faces and viciously wrapped up Li Qiang. If Li Qiang breaks through, there will be two people on the inside, the medical insurance card and Jones. Knowing that as long as Li Qiang passes the ball, their bag will not be broken, but they just don't want to see Li Qiang score like cutting melons and vegetables, which is too humiliating for the Thunder. No one wants to see another 105-point miracle happen to their opponents. And it's in the playoffs.

"It's finally challenging!" Li Qiang felt a surge of blood on his body. The previous one-on-one defense was very boring for Li Qiang, so Li Qiang has been playing with a playful mentality. Now the three-person bag is indeed a threat, and it is easy for him to be capped.

Come on! Facing the bag clamp of the three people near the center line, Li Qiang suddenly drilled through the gap where the three people had not yet closed with a shocking blow, and then chased three points!

"Tie!" Ibaka was relieved to see that Li Qiang had finally struck the iron. Hold your position under the basket and try to grab this defensive rebound.

Suddenly, he felt a huge force behind him, and he fell directly to the ground again.

He rubbed the sore flesh on his body, borrowed strength from Adu's outstretched arm, and finally got up from the ground, and turned his head to look at the screen next to him. The above shows that Li Qiang rushed in directly after the three-point score! Li Qiang jumped extremely high, so when he landed, the whole person jumped directly over his head from behind and buckled in! More violent than Vinson Carter's slam dunk that crossed the two-metre center at the Olympics!

Ibaka froze, he understood that he had also become a man with a 10,000-year-old background.

"Huh! If I can appear on Li Qiang's video, my fame will inevitably increase greatly! Ibaka laughed to herself. It seems that he was a little stupid by Li Qiang's blow.

In the face of the three-person all-round bag without dead ends, Li Qiang's heads-up weapon: turning over and back-to-back jumpers is also a little useless. So Li Qiang directly chose a simpler and more violent way: dry pulling.

Yes, dry pulling is faster and more abrupt. Unlike leaning back, which is won by the distance in parallel space, dry pulling is won by the distance that is pulled away in vertical space. Therefore, dry drawing needs to be pure explosive and bouncing power. A three-person bag can keep the parallel space around you out of the slightest, but it's impossible to stack the bouncing power of three people in vertical space. (Unless they are willing to stack arhats)

Li Qiang suddenly jumped before the three of them joined in. With his strong bounce power, this time he jumped directly to a height of 1.5 meters. By the time he reached his peak, Adu, Awe, and Appa were already falling. As a result, the scenery in front of me was so good that there was no one to cover their eyes. Looking down at the basket slightly, Li Qiang shot smoothly from outside the three-point line.

"Huh!" This time it's finally in.

In the next few rounds, Li Qiang relied on his speed to first disrupt the defense of the three, and then directly forced him to shoot in the air, shooting 4 of 9. Li Qiang has not practiced many high-altitude three-point pulls. Although the hit rate is not very high, it is already very lethal to be able to do so while attracting a three-man defense.

However, Adu and the others also began to gradually find a way to deal with Li Qiang's trick, that is, to cover their eyes in the air!

After all, shooting a three-point shot needs to see where the basket is first, and Adu and the others only need to judge where he will come to the highest point according to Li Qiang's jump, and push out his eye level at that time. Then jump with all your strength and block the middle of that place and the basket, and Li Qiang will be disturbed when he shoots.

"It seems that in the face of a three-person bag, the same trick will still be limited if you use it too much! I'm not strong enough to be invincible and take on the whole team alone! Then stop it! ”

As a result, Li Qiang played the role of point guard again in the last two minutes of the second quarter. At this point, the Timberwolves led by a full 28 points at 74:46. Li Qiang scored a full 23 points in the second quarter with a dunk, five three-pointers, a layup and two free throws. In the face of the three-man bag, Li Qiang still maintained a hit rate of more than 50 percent on seven of 12 shots.

In the second half, he was handed over to a group of substitutes, and Li Qiang sat on the sidelines and chatted with people. In the end, the Timberwolves slaughtered the Thunder 128-98. Li Qiang only played 18 minutes, but scored 55 points, and the scoring efficiency is extremely amazing!

In the next few games, Li Qiang showed his strong offensive strength. In the three games, Li Qiang played 48 minutes with full firepower, and scored an astonishing record of 66 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds per game, which made all the guys who thought that Li Qiang's strength began to decline in the second half of the season to shut up.

It seems that Li Qiang's strength has improved dramatically compared to when he won the championship last year! Last year, Li Qiang only scored 67 points in the last big outburst, and this year, the average score per game in the second round of the playoffs has reached an unprecedented 63 points! The 74 points in the third game set a new record for Li Qiang's playoff scoring set by himself last year.

However, in these three games, Li Qiang did not defend Durant and Wei Shao. The two of them also averaged 36 and 33 points per game in these three games, respectively.

Helplessly, the strength of the Thunder and the Timberwolves is really not comparable, and Li Qiang's data alone is almost equal to the sum of the golden two guns. But the Timberwolves still have a bunch of All-Stars! Polles averaged 18 points and 11 boards per game, while Brack and Kevin Martin averaged 12 and 9 points per game, respectively, due to overlapping positions with Qiang. However, the two of them don't have much playing time, and they are obviously recuperating!

Gasol was more tragic, he was rare in the third game, and several times forced to rush inside to dunk, but the last time he was slammed down from the air by a big hat from Spain's old teammate health insurance card. Gasol was in the wrong position when he landed, and as a result, he strained his back.

Although the medical insurance card is also very sad, I killed the boss of the year, but this is a competition after all, and you have to do what you have to do. The action of the medical card was clean, but the referee still blew a defensive foul and gave the Timberwolves two free throws. The free throws were scored and the points were scored. But the Timberwolves didn't need to score those two points at all, because they were already ahead by more than 30 points at the time, which was obviously garbage time.

But Gasol is also injured. The injury was not very serious, and the team doctor said that it would recover in a few weeks. But there are only a few weeks left in the playoffs, and it is estimated that Gasol will miss this year's playoffs.

After the battle, the Timberwolves, who are missing two big players, enter the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs and face the Western Conference giants Spurs.
