Chapter 623 The Way I Like

To be honest, Paul basically has no complaints about Li Liang's departure.

In terms of affection, Li Liang didn't owe Paul anything, and even brought him the most important championship trophy in his career.

It can be said that last year's championship made Paul have no regrets in his career.

All he has left is to create higher achievements and strive to win an MVP or Finals MVP.

Even if he can't get it, he will be famous in history if he retires with his current achievements, and he will have no regrets.

In terms of benefits, after Li Liang left, Paul became the boss of the Clippers again.

After Paul fulfills this contract, he can sign a super contract with the Clippers later.

If Li Liang is there, it is difficult to say whether Paul can get the maximum salary due to the salary cap.

So, how could Paul blame Li Liang?

But when Li Liang said that he wanted to "commemorate himself", Paul couldn't take it anymore.

Lao Tzu is not dead, do you need to commemorate it?

Paul couldn't help but think of Li Liang's dominance over the Clippers when he was with the Lakers.

He was a rookie back then, a kid.

Now he is still a child, but he is already an eight-year-old child.

And after working with Li Liang for a year in the Clippers, Paul knew how scary Li Liang was.

Anyway, he felt that Li Liang was a more terrifying existence than James.

Sure enough, before the game at night, Li Liang was gearing up.

He has experience dealing with the Clippers.

Every time he plays the Clippers, Li Liang will start the "sneaky" mode.

Why? Because your Clippers' striker is not good.

There is no player in the third position who can limit Li Liang.

Barnes?

Forget it, Barnes basically gave up when he saw Li Liang.

He also wanted to avoid trash talking, but he couldn't prevent it anyway.

In the summer, the Clippers signed Turkoglu in order to make up for the loss of Li Liang's departure.

The Clippers have become a buying station for scrapped stars at position 3 again, and the results are not satisfactory.

Li Liang scored 10 points and 7 rebounds in the first quarter, including 4 offensive rebounds!

Little Jordan has been robbed, what's going on?

Oh, Bruce Lee is a Pacers player, I forgot.

Of course, under the leadership of Paul in the first quarter, the Clippers played inextricably with the Pacers.

Fighting until the third quarter, Li Liang began to exert strength - he moved to the fourth position and began to attack the Clippers' basket continuously.

Griffin started to defend Li Liang, but then couldn't defend at all.

With your short arms, can you interfere with Li Liang's pull-up jump shot?

Li Liang is simply Bob McAdoo possessed, constantly scoring points in the paint.

He is the strongest three-pointer in history, and he keeps scoring points in the paint. Where does the Clippers put the face of the twin towers?

In fact, I have lost face for a long time. You have never made it to the Western Conference Finals before I came.

Throughout the third quarter, Li Liang scored 23 points, another explosive attack.

After repeated deliberation, Rivers decided not to double-team, because JR-Smith and Granger were watching.

Rivers doesn't want the Pacers to have more blooming situations.

So, Li Liang will bloom alone.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Li Liang has fully entered the state.

The inside line pierced through the Clippers, and when the Clippers' defense line shrunk very tightly, Li Liang used McGee's cover to shoot consecutive shots from outside the three-point line!

Li Liang, whose three-point shooting ability has soared to 80 points, is more domineering and accurate than before.

Another consecutive accurate hit, Li Liang raised his score to 48 points in the middle of the fourth quarter!

At this time, the Clippers are 11 points behind the Pacers, but the difference is not that big.

The Clippers are still very strong. In this case, Rivers finally decided to double-team Li Liang.

We can't let Li Liang shoot like this anymore, it's better to bet that Smith, Granger or Stephenson won't make the shot.

The Clippers' double-teaming really had a certain effect, and they used double-teaming in advance.

As soon as Li Liang received the ball, he immediately rushed to surround him, not giving Li Liang a chance to make a move.

Li Liang gave the ball to Granger and Smith on the outside, and both of them missed two shots.

Paul seized the opportunity and succeeded in mid-range jumpers in two counterattacks, helping the Clippers narrow the point difference to less than 10 points.

Bird also called a timeout immediately, and he had to deal with the Clippers' double-teaming of Li Liang.

Bird replaced McGee and adopted a lineup of five small players. Five players on the court can attack with the ball.

This time, the five small lineups really showed his great power.

Li Liang, Granger, Sloan, Smith and Stephenson.

Although the inside line suffers, the Clippers' double-teaming has completely lost its effect, and the Pacers' offensive space has been completely opened up.

Smith received a pass from Li Liang and rushed to the basket for a layup.

Stephenson received the pass from Li Liang and cut to the basket. Jordan came to help defend. Stephenson made a beautiful pass back to Li Liang who followed up from the middle. Li Liang caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

This smooth little cooperation caught the Clippers by surprise.

Once Stephenson gets the feeling, he can play an excellent performance.

Of course, if you don't feel overwhelmed, you will be super ghost.

The time is getting shorter and shorter, and the Clippers are still struggling to catch up under the leadership of Paul.

But when you can't prevent the Pacers' offense on the defensive end, all the efforts on the offensive end will be in vain.

When Li Liang catches the ball and hits a three-pointer in the offense, then steals Griffin and hits another three-pointer in the counterattack, Rivers knows that the game is over and there is no point in struggling.

The once strongest person is already in the opposing team.

At this time, Li Liang has scored 56 points.

Rivers called a timeout, replaced the main players, and the game entered garbage time.

Li Liang should also rest, he looked at his score, only 56, a little reconciled.

"Larry, do I want to play a little longer?"

"Can you show some face?"

When Bird heard Li Liang's request, he refused without hesitation.

Your old club has already replaced the main players and replaced them with garbage players.

What do you mean, you still want to fight? Brazenly scoring points? Are you a trash player?

In your rookie season, you could still say that you want to exercise. Now that you are an MVP, why do you exercise?

Bird thought to himself, you are shameless, I am shameless, and I am a Pacer.

Therefore, Bird resolutely rejected Li Liang's request to stay on the court this time, and put him on the bench until the end of the game.

Regarding this result, Li Liang could only silently say sorry to Paul in his heart.

...

Li Liang scored another 50 points to help the Pacers beat the visiting Los Angeles Clippers at home.

This means that the Pacers as a whole have begun to enter a state of recovery.

Next, the Pacers flew to Toronto to challenge the Raptors away.

To be honest, after Li Liang came to the East, he always played against the Eastern teams. He felt that the overall strength of the Eastern teams was indeed much worse than that of the Western teams.

It seems that every team does not seem to be difficult to play, and there is no particularly difficult bone.

Li Liang has completely let go of his hands and feet now. If the core is not the core, I want to score when I play!

Sometimes, regular season games should be played more casually.

The schedule is so dense, and the opponents are changed every two days. They are all encounters, just following the process.

Whoever has a strong process and a good on-the-spot condition will have an advantage and be more likely to win.

Like the three idiots, the more you care about them and try to change them, the more you will find that they are annoying.

If you don't care about it, don't think about it, and go to see them again, you will find "Hey, they still play pretty well!"

After implementing this kind of thought, Li Liang played more freely, and I shot the three-pointer if I wanted to, anyway, I was right.

Li Liang is really accurate, and the pick-and-roll and screen cooperation between him and McGee are well practiced.

The Raptors couldn't parry Li Liang's three-pointer at all, and it was another three-quarter game.

Li Liang used his powerful three-point firepower in three quarters to score 37 points and put the game into garbage time.

When it was garbage time, Li Liang still wanted to go, but Bird refused.

"Larry, don't you want me to win the scoring championship?"

"No, I don't want you to win the scoring championship in this way?"

"Which way?"

"The way I don't like it."

Alright, you're awesome, it depends on whether you like me or not.
