Chapter 461

The game suddenly entered a white-hot stage.

For non-Spurs fans, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

For Spurs fans, it is necessary to prepare quick-acting heart-saving pills, or prepare the whole village to eat.

The audience who had been drowsy in front of the TV all of a sudden regained their energy.

Those Clippers fans who had turned off the video and didn't want to watch the TV, reopened the live broadcast window under the call of the die-hard fans.

The commentators of the TV station cheered up one by one. The previous game was so boring that the commentators and guests kept talking about some things, but now, in the last four minutes, some played and some talked.

Jeff Van Gundy, as a well-known commentator who knows the ball, after one and a half seasons, is about to be turned into a die-hard fan by Li Liang.

He also narrated the game.

Before the third quarter, he was almost off the powder.

Because Li Liang exposed his flaws to the greatest extent in this game.

"He has no way to play his own strength without superstar teammates, he has not really proved himself!"

This is Van Gundy's evaluation of Li Liang after watching most of the first three quarters.

To be honest, this evaluation is fair. If Van Gundy seriously criticizes a certain player or team, it means that he cares about you.

In Jeff's words, "Bruce Lee has two completely different basketball temperaments. His appearance and his style of play are not only unprecedented. We know that any superstar is unique. I think, His presence is absolutely subversive, completely subversive."

But after boasting these words, seeing Li Liang's performance without Paul and Griffin, he loved and blamed him deeply, and gave severe criticism.

For Li Liang, who has risen to second place in the MVP selection, this will be a very negative evaluation.

Because ahead of him is LeBron James.

Regardless of his controversial decision, no matter how he lost to the Lakers last season, at least when he was in the Cavaliers, he led a group of mediocre players to achieve such results, and the MVP is well-deserved.

Among James' teammates, there are no players at the level of Paul and Kobe, not even Griffin.

As a result, Paul and Griffin were injured this time, and the Clippers relied entirely on Li Liang for their tactics, so they were scored 30 points.

Including on ins and forums, before the game was over, some fans couldn't wait to post questions: whether Li Liang's ability to lead the team should be questioned.

It is said that the greater the ability, the more sunspots, and Li Liang cannot escape this law.

Even if he is extremely popular in the United States and China, it is still unavoidable that some people want to hack.

After all, the bird is big, and there are all kinds of sunspots.

For a while, all kinds of arguments such as "Li Liang hugs his thighs", "the king of thighs", and "you can't play without a super guard" began to appear.

Then, all this gradually reversed as Li Liang led the Clippers to chase points frantically at the end of the third and fourth quarters.

Of course, it hasn't completely reversed yet.

After the point difference became 11 points, the Spurs relied on smooth offensive coordination to seize the loopholes in the Clippers' inside line. Leonard broke through for a layup and caused Li Liang to foul and make free throws.

But at the critical moment, Leonard made two free throws and the point difference only became 12 points.

Li Liang knew that they needed a three-pointer at this time.

Li Liang thought about it carefully. If the three-point shooting rate improvement stickers were saved until the last moment, they might be consumed by fragmented timeouts.

So, use it now!

"Bruce Lee dribbles across half court alone, a screen... oh, a direct 3-pointer!"

Jeff Van Gundy seldom does play-by-play commentary when commenting on the game. He is a guest and is responsible for tactical analysis.

But at this time, the Clippers' ball no longer needed any tactical analysis, and Li Liang started to make a three-pointer!

At the moment of shooting, [Three-point Shooting Rate Improvement Sticker (a)] is used, and the three-point shooting rate will be increased by 10% within three minutes!

Li Liang forced a shot against the defense from the outside, but the ball didn't hit.

Because strong shots are not his strong point, even if props are used, not every shot can be made.

Li Liang had a bad heart, and felt a little stiff when he shot, thinking that he could use props to get the ball in, but it didn't.

But the ball fell far away, and Barnes was lucky to grab the ball back in the middle.

The Clippers escaped, and Barnes returned the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang didn't stop the ball and immediately passed the ball to Crawford.

At this time, it is really helpful to have a Crawford as a holding point.

Crawford withstood the pressure, used continuous dribbles to sway Danny Green, and hit a mid-range jumper.

99:109, 10 points.

This is the first time since the second quarter that the Clippers narrowed the point difference to 10 points.

The focus is still on defense.

"The Clippers' defense, they must play excellent defense. Bruce Lee is the core of the team's defense on the court, and he must do what he should do...steal!"

Van Gundy's voice suddenly increased, and his commentary had been very low and steady, and he couldn't be steady at this time.

Li Liang used [Death Coil] to steal the ball from Tony Parker!

Li Liang is really difficult, and he has to defend Duncan and Parker.

After successfully stealing the ball, Li Liang went to the basket one-stop, and he could feel Leonard chasing him from behind.

After crossing the three-point line, Li Liang didn't make a three-pointer.

He knew that he didn't feel very good tonight, even if he used props, he was not fully sure.

Entering the three-second zone, Li Liang slowed down, while Leonard was also adjusting his pace.

This is a game between the two, a duel. Leonard is confident that he will block Li Liang's ball from behind, because he knows that Li Liang will make a jump shot.

Then just when Leonard thought that Li Liang was going to make a sudden stop, he suddenly raised his leg to accelerate, then kicked the ground with one foot, took off, and succeeded in a quick dunk with one hand!

Leonard was fooled!

"Dunk! Bruce Lee's dunk, yes, he needs to use this way to help the team, more, more comprehensive, more three-dimensional, richer, not blindly three-pointers, three-pointers alone are not enough .”

Van Gundy is a little excited. As a commentator, you are a little biased. Why are you only on Li Liang's side?

But now, fans all over the United States and even the world who are watching this game, except for the Spurs fans and a small number of Komi, are basically on the side of the Clippers and Li Liang.

Who doesn't want to watch a reversal show?

What's more, it is on the head of the Spurs who like to hear and see.

After Li Liang succeeded in dunking, the tone on the forum began to change again.

Although the game is not over yet, Li Liang's performance is undoubtedly exciting.

"8 points, just 8 points away!"

"Who else! Forrest Gump is amazing."

"If only that three-pointer went in."

The pressure came to the Spurs.

As a seasoned Spurs player, this is nothing at all.

It is impossible to be nervous, and you will never be nervous in this life.

It’s a big deal to lose. What is the lore in 0.4 seconds, and the reversal in 35 seconds and 13 minutes? It’s not that I haven’t experienced it before.

Duncan mentioned the high post as a pick-and-roll screen, Parker hit the ball inside, made a close, and passed the ball to Ginobili on the wing.

Parker this season has declined compared to last season, but Ginobili's state has rebounded.

After he received the ball, he made an accelerated snake-shaped breakthrough and went to the basket, causing Jordan's defensive foul again.

The Clippers would rather give free throws now than let their opponents make an easy layup.

In the previous game, the Spurs were given too many opportunities to score easily.

As long as the Spurs pass the ball out of the open space, the Clippers will give up defense.

Now, never let the Spurs score easily.

Such a strategy worked.

Ginobili stepped to the free throw line and missed the first free throw.

At this time, 1 point less is fatal.

The Spurs also gave a chance, Leonard made one of two free throws and Ginobili made one of two free throws.

Later, Li Liang was still holding the ball. He took advantage of the Spurs' fear of his three-pointers, faked away the defender, broke through and went to the basket, and caused a foul by Splitter for a layup!

Li Liang's breakthrough layup caused damage, which is very rare in his games.

Even Van Gundy said, "We all discovered Bruce Lee's problems. We all know that he has areas to improve and needs to evolve. But his evolution seems to have come a little too fast."

Van Gundy believes that Li Liang's biggest problem is that his offense relies heavily on space, but his ability to create space is not strong.

It's just that the two teams he is in both have super space involved. He plays in the environment that suits him best, and he naturally exerts his energy to the extreme.

Once there is no such restraint, he will be targeted in the first half of today.

Van Gundy believes that Li Liang needs to improve and improve in the future, so that he can go further.

But Van Gundy didn't expect that his improvement came as soon as he said it.

Although Li Liang's sudden shot was not beautiful, he was aiming at drawing a foul, but he succeeded, and the referee helped.

Li Liang stood at the free throw line, it was impossible for him to miss at this time.

Two free throws were made, 103:110, 7 points!

The Clippers are rushing back point by point.

But the game time is running out, there are three minutes left.

Three minutes later, Popovich called a timeout.

Needless to say, the Spurs are starting to play for time.

Li Liang returned to the bench, thinking about his [Trash King] medal again in his mind.

Where did it go?

This is a good thing, does it have an expiry date?

Still have fatigue, just run out?

Li Liang couldn't figure it out, he missed the Garbage King, and the feeling of relaxation and enjoyment when wearing it.

Every time Li Liang goes to the court to brush data during garbage time, it is not really for the purpose of brushing data.

Half of what he said to Rivers and Mike Brown was true, but he didn't do it for "exercise," he did it for enjoyment.

Enjoy the game without pressure, enjoy the basketball, enjoy that feeling of being in control.

If you don't have these, how can you enjoy the garbage time in the future? You can't do it so freely.

"Bruce, did you hear my arrangement?"

Rivers asked Li Liang if he listened to his tactical arrangements.

Li Liang shook his head, Rivers nodded, and said, "You're right if you didn't listen, play according to your ideas, relax, this is your time!"

"My time?" Li Liang didn't expect Rivers to say that.

"Yes, this is your time! Just like you did in the finals!" Rivers said loudly.

In the finals? I used props in the finals, and it cost me a lot of anger points!

Now... the three-point shooting rate increase sticker just now is considered useless, and there is no chance to make a shot. Li Liang also made a better choice.

Now that the statute of limitations has passed, Li Liang can no longer use any consumable items.

【Gravity Wooden Fish】The time has passed, it's useless.

The shooting percentage has returned to 50%, and the Dabuwan can't be used.

There is only one active skill left [One shot into the soul], nothing else.

He was left with himself, and his acquired abilities.

At this time, Li Liang asked himself, is he still confident of winning?

Can he still do what he did in the Finals?

It took Li Liang a second to figure out the answer.

"I am Gan Liliang, what can I do?"
