Chapter 719

Warriors players are indeed still adjusting and adapting.

Not every player is like Li Liang, who has experienced many battles and is not at all stage fright in the finals.

No way, Li Liang's experience in the playoffs has seen too many big scenes.

In reality, there are two finals, and various historical key playoff battles in the system, and some games have been played over and over again.

When these players on the NBA field were not even embryos, Li Liang had already tried his best to do his best for victory and glory on the NBA court. You can't compare this mentality.

Therefore, Li Liang can shoot in the three-point contest as if he is training in the training hall, and in the finals he can shoot like no one else.

This is not a gap in strength, but a gap in realm.

Many people have gradually realized that Li Liang is not the strongest overall in terms of strength, but his on-the-spot state, psychological quality and tactical quality are really off the charts.

No way, this is the power of System Dad.

Of course, the unsuitability of the Warriors players is only temporary. They can get the first place in the regular season and go all the way to the finals, but they are not recommended.

The Warriors quickly played a beautiful match.

Green held the ball in a high position to support, Barnes came out to catch the ball, and passed the ball to Bogut in the low post on the left.

It feels like Bogut is going to play a low singles, but on the weak side, Curry suddenly runs back and cuts to the basket.

Li Liang faced Green in the high post, Granger was taken away by Barnes, and the basket was empty.

Bogut looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Curry. After Curry swayed away from Hill with a feint, he easily made a one-handed throw and hit the board to score two points.

Very good pass and cut cooperation, in the case of the league's main pick-and-roll, the Warriors' pass and cut are really unique.

Even so, Li Liang still wanted to taunt Curry, "Why don't you dunk an empty basket?"

Just kidding, if you deduct one, you will make a mistake and deduct another.

Curry smiled and ignored Li Liang at all.

This is a great challenge for the Pacers' defense. They have never encountered such a tactical team in the East.

Whether it is the Bulls or the Cavaliers, to be honest, there is basically no good way to face the Pacers' tight man-to-man marking.

During the entire Eastern Conference playoffs, the Pacers' defense was very solid, which is the fundamental reason why they only lost two games in the three-round series.

Another reason is of course Li Liang's extreme thirst for victory and caution, never letting go of any chance of winning.

Three trips to the playoffs, the Lakers, Clippers, Pacers, in the divisional series, only lost two games in each year.

This kind of dominance, you don't even have it in Jordan, after all, Jordan doesn't change jobs.

The Warriors' offensive restraint against man-to-man defense is still quite strong.

At the same time, the Warriors' defensive strength has also increased. The audience shouted "defence". Hill broke through with the ball and was almost intercepted. Thompson's defense feels like he can't break through.

At this time, Li Liang started to circle around, took the ball from Smith's hand, took a step in with the ball from the left corner, and then made a sudden stop jump shot...and hit it again!

16:6 Li Liang scored 16 points in the opening game.

No one in the Pacers can score except Li Liang.

But the Warriors couldn't stop Li Liang from scoring points at all. His opening state was so good that he exploded.

This ball Green can be regarded as exposing the weaknesses in his defense.

The footsteps can keep up, but the height and wingspan are not enough, so there is almost no interference with the shooting.

The defense method is on the inside, and the outside defense skills are not enough. There is no good way to stop Li Liang's breakthrough.

Cole was pacing back and forth on the sidelines with his hands folded on his chest. All he could do now was to wait until Li Liang's hand felt cold.

Sometimes in the face of a superstar explosion, you have to pray for a little luck.

Cole's head is also quite strong. Anyway, he just doesn't want to double-team, doesn't want to use triple defense, he just wants to rely on offense to fight against Li Liang and the Pacers.

Subsequently, Green caused Granger's defensive foul in the offense and made two free throws.

The Warriors' offensive efficiency is obviously picking up. Their offensive options and coordination are completely different from those of the Eastern Conference teams, which makes the Pacers players a little uncomfortable.

Then, Bogut made another steal in the defense, and Li Liang's pass to McGee was seen through.

Bogut's defensive efficiency in the first quarter was really high.

But Curry's counterattack with the ball was fruitless. After he reached the basket, his high-throw layup was interfered by McGee and missed.

Li Liang grabbed the rebound from the backcourt and hit a counterattack. A long pass was passed to JR-Smith. Smith broke through for a layup and went crooked.

Klay Thompson took the rebound from the backcourt, advanced the ball to the frontcourt by himself, hit the basket and turned around for a fadeaway jumper.

The difficulty is too high, still did not enter.

It was still Li Liang's rebound, and another long pass to the frontcourt, this time it was Hill who caught the ball, and made a 45-degree three-point jump shot from the left - the result was that the basket didn't touch, and it bounced off the backboard, and was caught by the Warriors .

But the Warriors counterattacked, and Curry didn't make a super long three-pointer from the left...

Li Liang was utterly speechless after reading it, can you give me some encouragement?

That's it? That's why you don't come in?

In fact, except for Li Liang, among the ten players on the field, none of them were open and tense.

The other four Pacers are tighter than the Warriors. Hill's shooting movements are all deformed, and he knows that the ball is off the charts as soon as he takes it.

Seeing that the two sides were unable to make any offense, and the Pacers failed to score except for Li Liang, Bird called a timeout.

With an 8-point lead, the opening five minutes were basically "Li Liang taught you how to play the finals".

Bird called a timeout, but Li Liang said mainly on the bench, and then Kevin Garnett added.

The two cheered and teased each other, and educated the rest of the Pacers.

"Attack the basket, if you feel that you are not sure about the shot, please draw a foul. Be tough, be tough, don't dodge, this is the finals, dodging will not let you avoid damage, it will only make your opponent have to suffer to harm!"

"He's right, he's right, be tough guys!"

After returning from the timeout, the lineups of both sides remained unchanged.

The Pacers outside, Granger missed a jumper with the ball, Li Liang grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball out, and then organized an attack.

Hill made a breakthrough and gave the ball to Smith in the bottom corner. Smith broke through the bottom line and scored the ball. McGee took the ball and missed a layup...

It seems that this cross talk is not good enough, it doesn't work!

The Warriors counterattacked, Curry passed directly to Bogut under the basket, and Bogut passed the ball to Barnes in the right corner.

Barnes made a three-pointer!

Bogut's performance in the first quarter was simply a pillar center.

It may be because of Li Liang's fist and being kicked out, Bogut is really good on both offense and defense.

But Li Liang immediately fought back. After a high double screen, a Buddha went to the basket from the middle, and a layup caused a foul by Bogut.

Bogut almost slapped Li Liang out of Oracle Arena with the ball.

Li Liang got up from the ground and gave Bogut a hard look. He stood at the free throw line and made two free throws.

At 18:11, the point difference came to 7 points.

At this time, the Pacers players began to gradually find the feeling.

Hill first, and Curry, a schoolboy with a big cap on defense, slapped his turnaround jumper with a big volleyball cap.

It is not easy to be slapped away by Hill's big hat.

Li Liang got the ball, Granger made a quick move, this time he received Li Liang's pass without the slightest hesitation, no longer thinking about dodging the defense, but instead rushed inward, heading towards Bogut !

Bogut already had a foul on his back, and he didn't dare to make another easy move. Granger succeeded in dunking with one arm!

Immediately, Curry assisted Thompson with a mid-range jumper, and Li Liang also passed the ball to McGee after the pick-and-roll. McGee broke into the basket and dunked with both hands!

What Li Liang said is right, if you charge forward bravely, the opponent will avoid you instead.

You flinched and tried to avoid it, but the opponent rushed forward ferociously.

Because Bogut was afraid of fouling, he obviously didn't let go of his defensive actions at the beginning.

The Pacers are getting a boost of confidence.

The Warriors' cooperation was still very smooth. The outside line continued to transfer the ball. Barnes broke through the bottom line and gave the ball to Green who cut in.

Green didn't have a chance, so he turned around and delivered the ball to Bogut who was following up in the middle. As a result, Bogut's throw was capped by McGee!

The ball accidentally touched the Pacers player and went out of the baseline, and the Warriors still own the ball.

But this time the defense was very successful. No matter how the Warriors moved outside, the defense did not lose its position.

McGee even sent a big hat, which made Bogut, who had performed well before and was quite arrogant, ashamed.

Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Cole made personnel adjustments and replaced Harris Barnes with Iguodala.

Green can't be allowed to defend Li Liang anymore, Iguodala needs to be pulled out.

There's another one at six in the afternoon.
