Chapter 645

Harden suffered from Li Liang. Not only did he fail to make a foul, but he was also fouled by Li Liang.

It is true that he hunted geese all day long but was blinded by geese. Sun Wukong met Tathagata Buddha and couldn't turn his palm.

After Li Liang entered the league, he was afraid that only one type of players would be truly talented monsters with outstanding one-on-one strength.

For Anthony and Durant, Lao Tzu is arrogant, and hard power is strong, so Li Liang really doesn't have much to do.

You can only rely on props, wisdom, and the strength of the team as a whole to defeat your opponent.

Whenever you encounter opportunistic people, then I'm sorry, can you have me who will be opportunistic?

I came from a garbage player who couldn't make it to the NBA, and came here by taking chances and doing missions all the way. Can you compare with me?

Therefore, players like Green and Harden who have flaws in hard power and rely on the use of rules or systems for bonuses are a bit difficult to use when encountering Li Liang.

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

You have the ability to let Crawford play the role. If he doesn't blow you to death first, I will write the word the other way around.

After a strong start, the Rockets fell into a short period of time.

And Harden learned how to behave after being deflated by Li Liang, and started to pass the ball, playing low singles for Al Jefferson and alley-oops for Josh Smith, and the Rockets' offense slowed down.

But the Pacers are already in game form.

West, Granger, and JR-Smith all scored, which can be described as more blooming.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led the Rockets by 4 points at 29:25.

Harden scored 5 points in the first quarter with free throws and mid-range jumpers.

Harden was a little depressed sitting off the court, with a towel on his head and big eyes staring. He probably couldn't 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 off the court and discussed the interior defense with Brown, especially some issues of help defense.

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

When he was in the Lakers, he learned how to be a 3D, and in the Clippers he learned how to be an excellent 4th defender.

Now, he has to learn how to be an excellent defensive center again.

If you don't do it, you can do it, and if you do it, you must do your best.

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

As the core of inside defense, one must have overall awareness and be able to observe every point under the basket.

The protection of the rebound, the three-second zone, the front, and the bottom line must be comprehensive.

Anyway, Brown taught Li Liang all the details and key points.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he can listen and understand, he should be able to understand.

After three minutes of communication, the Pacers' second team fought fiercely with the Rockets.

Stephenson went up and threw two three-pointers, but didn't score any...

With the help of a counterattack, Brewer twisted his body, passed the defender with a cross step, and succeeded in picking the basket.

Then, the second counterattack came again, Bruce scored the ball to Corey Brewer, Brewer counterattacked for a layup, and was blocked by CJ Myers from behind!

The Pacers are now on defense, determined not to make the same mistake twice.

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

A long pass was made to Scola who cut into the basket. After receiving the ball, Scola licked the basket easily.

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

You came and went on both sides, and the Pacers never lost the wind. The score came to 35:31, and they still maintained a 4-point lead.

At this point, the game entered an official timeout.

Li Liang scolded Finsen first, "Can you think about your shots in the future? Ah? Are you me? It's fine if you miss one of those shots, and you have to shoot the second one. Good things come in pairs? I found you." Is the rhythm of the game OK? Also, defense, defense!"

Stephenson nodded repeatedly at Li Liang's words.

After the game restarted, he started to defend desperately like chicken blood. His main defense was Harden.

Harden went off 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 overall it was calm.

Li Liang seems to have really turned into a Dinghaishenzhen on the inside, putting a lot of energy on defense and rebound protection, and really made himself a center forward.

The offensive end gave Granger, Stephenson, JR-Smith and others full autonomy to attack.

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

Inside, a big Ben concentrates on defense, and the remaining four are responsible for offense.

But the problem is, this big Ben is the leading scorer in the league this year...

Of course, Li Liang's defensive level cannot reach Daben's level, but Daben will be his goal.

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

So the score kept biting, and by the end of the second quarter, the two sides scored 53:51, and the Pacers led the Rockets by 2 points.

The offensive success rate on both sides is not very high. The Pacers have a good rhythm control and have been suppressing the Rockets.

When facing Li Liang's offense being blocked, Harden cleverly switched to organizing.

Two offensive masters, one defensive, and one organizational, needless to say, they all put their energy into the third quarter, and they will 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 a movie star, if he doesn't become a good player, what kind of drama will he act in?

But there is no way, there are too many people who know how to act in the NBA, and if they disagree with each other, they will make a show. You can't pick it up, and you will be looked down upon if you are tricked.

This situation is unacceptable to Li Liang.

And Harden is currently at the Oscar level of acting in the NBA, so he will definitely be famous 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 a high position and collided with Harden.

Harden doesn't care about the three sevens and twenty-ones, he is respectful first.

Li Liang came to take advantage of his strength, if you fall, I will fall...

The referee was dumbfounded. It happened right after the third quarter started?

The result didn't blow, and then Smith took the ball straight to the basket, shook off Josh Smith, and made a layup with his right hand.

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

The mentality has collapsed, and Harden's mentality has collapsed a bit. This third quarter has just begun.

The crash is still behind.

Then in the offense, Ariza missed a three-pointer.

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

This kind of ball is really demoralizing.

Then, Beverly missed an outside jumper, and the Pacers failed to counterattack.

The Rockets counterattacked after grabbing a rebound from the backcourt. Josh Smith received a pass from Harden and rushed in the middle, giving the ball to Ariza in the bottom corner.

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

Ariza made a three-pointer, but it was called invalid because Josh Smith fouled first.

There was a lot of boos at the scene, and I felt that the 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 looked stupid, damn it, this is the master.

Afterwards, Harden didn't know whether he wanted to learn from Li Liang or continue to compete in acting.

Li Liang came out again to cover JR-Smith in the pick-and-roll during the offense. Smith became the Pacers' main attack in the second half. Because of the intermission, Bird hoped that Smith would attack Harden more.

Harden bumped into Li Liang again, and Li Liang wanted to go down after blocking the person, but Harden pulled Li Liang to prevent him from going down.

At the same time, Harden wanted to chase Smith, but somehow, Harden jumped onto Li Liang's back...

"Fuck NM..." Li Liangguo blurted out curses.

Harden's two hundred-pound fat man, coupled with momentum, pressed Li Liang's back, unprepared, how could he stand it?

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

Just like that, Li Liang also staggered, almost afraid of falling to the ground.

The referee was stunned, and it took a second to blow his whistle, calling Harden's foul.

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

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

"What the fuck is he defending?"

"Defense your back."
