Chapter 734 No over Time

After the timeout ended, the Pacers' first attack was not hit by Li Liang.

Li Liang was double-teamed by Iguodala and Green on the flank. The Warriors now started a triple defense against Li Liang, which gave the Pacers other players a chance.

After receiving the pass from Li Liang, JR-Smith got rid of Thompson in one step and shot in, and then made a difficult step-back jumper and hit a two-pointer!

With this goal scored, the Warriors have to consider their defensive strategy.

If the goal hadn't been scored just now, Li Liang would have squeezed to the basket, ready to grab an offensive rebound.

JR-Smith can still stand up and share the pressure when needed.

In terms of talent, Garnett doesn't count, but Smith's talent is very good.

His ability to hold the ball is a great help to Li Liang.

The Pacers re-overtook the score, 76:75, and there were less than 8 minutes before the end of the game.

Destined to be a low-scoring game, but this is a bit like the finals.

Subsequently, the Pacers relied on tough man-to-man defense and defended the Warriors for 24 seconds!

Li Liang finally switched to Iguodala, and Iguodala was so overwhelmed that he couldn't even make a move.

This year's regular season best defensive player award went to Leonard, but Li Liang's current defensive performance is comparable to Leonard's.

When it was the Pacers' turn to attack, Granger received a pass from Li Liang, rushed to the basket, and missed a throw.

But Li Liang suppressed Green and Iguodala alone, grabbed the offensive rebound again, and then caused a foul by Green, who had to go to the free throw line.

Now there is a lot of booing, but the Warriors have to face a problem: when both sides adopt five small lineups, Li Liang has become the highest point on the field!

Li Liang now has the feeling of playing basketball in high school, Lao Tzu is the tallest!

To be honest, Li Liang's offensive rebounding skills are not very good. He has only done one offensive rebounding task, and his improvement is not high.

If there is an orthodox center on the court, such as Bogut, Li Liang does not have many opportunities to get offensive rebounds, and occasionally steals one.

One point became the highest point, his strength was raised again, and the trouble for the warrior came.

On the free throw line, Li Liang made two free throws.

78:75, with a 3-point advantage, Wu Xiao’s impact gradually faded.

Both sides then wasted another offensive opportunity, and it was still the Warriors' ball.

Curry used his running position to get an excellent three-point shot on the right.

The ball passes from Iguodala to Curry, and Curry makes a quick release.

This is a goal that carries the team's hope of equalizing!

As a result, the ball spun around the hoop and finally fell out.

"In and out!" The narrator shouted regretfully, and the scene was full of "嗤~"

Li Liang scored the rebound, and there were more than five minutes before the end of the game. There was not much time left for the Warriors, and the Pacers needed to consolidate their advantage.

Three points, no insurance.

Curry's three-pointers tonight are terrible, and he has only made one three-pointer so far.

Correspondingly, Li Liang made very few three-point shots tonight. He only took 4 shots and hit 2 goals. The shooting rate is good and the output is relatively low.

At this time, the opponent's defense is prone to loopholes.

Continuous counterattacks, misses, running positions, eager to hit a three-pointer to equalize, but there was no result.

The Warriors' defense showed a slight slack. Li Liang seized the opportunity, dribbled the ball across half court, and with the help of Danny Granger's cover, he shot a super long three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line!

At the moment of the shot, Li Liang felt very confident, as if he had used a three-point shooting rate booster sticker.

"Shua!"

The ball hits the center of the basket, a hit!

This is really an away silencer. Li Liang can't even call it a muffler, it's just a flamethrower. If you spray it directly, no grass will grow, and you will have no life.

The ball was so deadly that Kerr had to call a timeout.

The Warriors are now facing a huge crisis, that is, they are suppressed by the Pacers in their style of play.

Cole couldn't find a way to deal with it in a short time. Curry's state was too bad tonight. He scored two more three-pointers, and the situation would not be what it is now.

But the game is like this, there is no such thing as two more goals and two fewer mistakes.

If you go in, you go in, if you don't go in, you don't go in.

The commentary on the sidelines began to brag about Li Liang again, bragging about his ability to control the game, "absolutely not like a third-year player."

"I feel like he's been in the league for 30 years, from the golden generation in 1984, with Michael Jordan and Olajuwon," Jeff Van Gundy said.

If Li Liang heard it, he would definitely say, Lao Tzu has been playing in the NBA since 1950, and it’s still been thirty years. Haven't met your mother yet.

In the past three years, I have been playing various tasks non-stop, not only the ability value has been improved, but also the feeling of the game.

Although the intensity and level of competition in the past games cannot be compared with the current games, but the mental training he gave people is the same, especially by repeating the same game, Li Liang can think to decide the outcome of a game Where are the key factors, where is the critical moment, and where are the winners and losers.

Through trial and error, improvement, and success, Li Liang's experience in this area is unmatched by anyone in the league.

After all, how can ordinary people's games be repeated.

After the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court. Curry gritted his braces and shook his head, his face full of dissatisfaction with himself.

The data was played on the spot. Curry only scored two points in the fourth quarter and only 13 points in the game.

The shot distribution chart shows that he took a lot of shots from beyond the arc and only made one.

The commentator said bluntly, "Is this the MVP of the regular season this season?"

This is a very harsh evaluation, but the basketball media is like this. On the court of heroism, you can get the voice of MVP for your performance, and you can get vitriolic satire if you play poorly.

Even Li Liang, who is loved by everyone, will still be blackmailed by the media when he plays badly.

The Warriors' offensive adjustments are still very effective. As soon as they come up and hit behind, Iguodala cuts to the basket and catches Green's pass for a layup.

This is an air-cut offensive routine commonly used by the Warriors, which caught the Pacers by surprise.

81:77, 4 points difference.

The Pacers then missed the attack, but Li Liang grabbed the offensive rebound - another offensive rebound.

Li Liang points the ball to the outside and gives it to JR-Smith. Smith catches the ball and makes a three-pointer and hits it!

Smith's bloodthirsty three-pointer at the critical moment turned Li Liang into James and kept passing him the ball.

84:77, Alexander on the Warriors side.

Later, Klay Thompson made a successful foul in the offense, but only made 1 of two free throws, which was really terrible.

The Pacers ball is still in Li Liang's hands, and now he is looking at the Warriors like a butcher with a butcher's knife, thinking about where to put the knife.

Just after halftime when Li Liang dribbled the ball, Thompson and Iguodala rushed over. Li Liang could only pass the ball and made a mistake!

Curry broke Hill's ball, and Curry was about to counterattack with the ball. Unexpectedly, Li Liang caught up from behind and activated the skill [Death Coil]!

This is not entanglement anymore, it is a death sting from behind Curry, which directly knocked the ball out of Curry's hand.

Li Liang snatched the ball back!

Hill came over to respond, received Li Liang's ball, quickly crossed halftime, stabilized, and reorganized the attack.

This steal is very critical. If Curry successfully launched a counterattack just now, it will be a goal that changes the situation.

Now, the situation is different again. Li Liang ran across the half court, caught the ball from Hill, avoided Curry's entanglement, and took a step back to shoot a three-pointer!

No hit, this ball is too difficult, once there is a step back, it is difficult to guarantee the stability of the shot.

But Danny Granger grabbed the offensive rebound at the basket, and then lightly sent the ball into the basket.

The three Warriors watched Li Liang shoot a three-pointer from the outside, but the inside was empty and the offensive rebound was stolen.

Green was so angry that he got the ball and smashed it to the ground, 86:77, why does it feel like he can't beat it!

Chaos, the rhythm of the Warriors appeared some confusion again.

At this time, Thompson was still attacking with the ball, hitting the waist, and made a throwing shot with an emergency stop.

Even this very uncommon offensive method has come out, which shows that the Warriors really have no good way on the offensive end.

The rebound was missed, but accordingly, Barnes also grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up.

The Warriors still have a chance.

At this time, the referee began to play his role.

First, it blew that Granger dribbled the ball into someone in the offense, and then blew that Li Liang fouled when defending Green.

Green goes to the free throw line.

Li Liang was speechless, did I still need to foul Green?

If I defend Green, if I use my brain, I will lose.

Rely entirely on the subconscious to defend, and use the brain to deal with the rest of the Warriors.

Green made both free throws, 86:81, and the point difference came to 5 points.

Then the two sides began to frantically strike iron.

After five minutes from the second half of the third quarter, the Pacers followed up, and the players on both sides have not changed.

There is no way, I dare not, I dare not change players easily, especially not to play as a center forward.

With McGee or Garnett on the Pacers' side, the result may be pierced by the Warriors' quick offense.

Bird dared not take the risk.

And the Warriors don't have five juniors here, so you don't want to chase points, take a break early and go back to take a shower.

Therefore, this kind of continuous fight, high-intensity, high-focus confrontation is a huge test for the physical fitness of both sides.

Li Liang still had a bottle of 1983 Gatorade, but he didn't think he needed it.

With an advantage of 5 points, you can take a walk in the courtyard and be able to hold.

The score of 86:81 was maintained for a while, when there were still three minutes before the end of the game, Li Liang received Granger's pass from the outside and made a three-pointer!

After the calf, the guy scored another three-pointer, and Cole had to call another short timeout.

89:81, the Warriors are very, very dangerous.

The Pacers players almost had to celebrate the victory in advance, only Li Liang and Bird were very calm, warning the players not to relax.

8 points, more than two minutes, not particularly safe.

If it was a knight, Li Liang felt basically stable.

Playing the Warriors is not necessarily true.

Sure enough, on the first ball after the timeout, Curry singled out Hill with the ball on the right side. After getting rid of the continuous dribble, he forced a three-pointer against the defense at 45 degrees on the right side and made a hit!

Curry finally made his second three-pointer of the game, and it was a very crucial three-pointer.

If this three-pointer is not scored, the Warriors are really half dead, and now they have another breath.

89:84.

At this time, the Warriors began to use foul tactics, fouling Shumpert, who had the lowest free throw percentage on the court.

The Pacers' five juniors don't have too many shortcomings in free throws. If you cut their center, you basically cut yourself and score.

But under this kind of intensity and this kind of psychological pressure, the free throw percentage will definitely decline.

Shumpert made two free throws, 90:84, the Warriors got the ball and Curry got the rebound.

Then JR Smith called a foul on Curry...

The on-site commentators shouted, "Curry was fouled by Smith!"

Li Liang is confused, why did you foul? It's time for fouls and free throws!

Are you fucking retarded? Well, sometimes JR-Smith is like that.

While you are amazed at his bold three-pointers, you have to accept his meaningless fouls.

Wouldn't it be enough if you let Curry hold the ball for halftime? Will we not be able to prevent it?

As a result, Curry made two free throws from the free throw line, 90:86, catching up to 4 points.

Bird called a timeout, took Shumpert off the court for a break, and replaced Stephenson.

Li Liang pulled Bird over and said, "Do you want to die? Why go to Finsen? We must maintain our current lineup."

"But Shumpert will get fouled."

"I trust his free throws, and I bet the Warriors don't foul again!"

The two fought on the sidelines for a second before Bird caved in, telling Finsen to return to his seat and Shumpert to continue the game.

It is enough to have JR-Smith on the field, and Finsen? I'm afraid I don't want to win.

As Li Liang expected, the Warriors stopped using foul tactics, and Iguodala began to stick to Li Liang.

His two arms had the opportunity to pinch Li Liang, and the ball couldn't reach Li Liang's hands at all.

Li Liang couldn't help yelling at the referee, "Foul, foul!"

But the referee ignored it, and the Pacers served in a hurry. As a result, Granger broke through and was intercepted by Barnes. The ball was given to Thompson. Thompson went straight to the basket and made a layup!

90:88, only 2 points away!

Li Liang really wanted to yell at tonight's chief referee, Brother Tony, "Are you fucking blind?"

But then, Curry was also called a blocking foul in the defense, and it was committed on Li Liang. Li Liang stood on the free throw line and made two free throws.

He scored 30 points without knowing it tonight.

92:88, 4 points, still in the safety zone, with 1 minute left before the end of the game.

Just as Bird asked the players to actively fight for offensive rebounds during the timeout, because the backboards of the Warriors' small lineup are weak points.

Correspondingly, the backcourt rebounding of the Pacers' small lineup is also a weakness.

The Pacers contributed to the impenetrable defense. In the end, Curry missed a jumper, but Li Liang was held back by Green and Barnes. Iguodala grabbed the offensive rebound, and he dribbled out to reorganize the offense. Then a nice pass to Barnes.

Barnes made an empty basket!

With the last 2 points left, the Pacers called a timeout.

Bird asked to give the ball to Li Liang as much as possible during the timeout.

Now the Warriors have put all their eggs in one basket and are desperate not to catch the ball to Li Liang.

For others, you have to catch the ball, play more and play less, whatever you want, the big deal is that I will defend less and defend more.

The timeout ended, and sure enough, Iguodala and Curry came together.

Cole adopted the double attack strategy of Iguodala and Curry, allowing Barnes, Thompson and Green to defend less and more.

It was Hill who received the ball. At this time, Hill had a chance to kill the game, but he hesitated at the critical moment.

As a result of his hesitation, he was posted by Green and almost made a mistake.

The two huddled together on the ground and scrambled for the ball.

Li Liang pulled Hill up. He knew he couldn't blame his teammates. The coach's arrangement was to give him the ball, but the ball couldn't pass.

There was no suspense in the scrimmage, Hill couldn't compete with Green, and the ball came to the Warriors, a chance to tie the score.

The Warriors did not call a timeout, Curry was in the high position, continuous pick and roll, one, two, three, three people covered him, Curry wiped in from the middle!

The entire penalty area was emptied by the Warriors. Faced with Li Liang's pursuit and defense, Curry leaned over and picked a basket with his right hand!

At the critical moment, Li Liang did not block the shot hastily, but let Curry pick the basket.

Because he was very worried that he would be called a foul, and then Curry made a layup and hit a three-pointer. That would not be a tie, but a lead.

Curry picked the basket and hit it. After scoring the goal, Curry couldn't help but clenched his fists and roared!

After holding back the entire game, the depression in his heart suddenly yelled out. He played really badly tonight.

With the last 7 seconds left before the end of the game, the Pacers called a timeout.

Long pause, to be honest, Li Liang didn't listen to anything, because he knew that in the end, he could only end the attack.

"Bruce, did you hear what I said?"

"Yes Larry, I'll throw the ball in."

"OK, it's up to you."

Byrd drew on the tactical board for a long time, but he didn't know if Li Liang listened.

Li Liang didn't hear it, but he glanced at the tactical board and knew how it was arranged in the end.

Gathering in the middle, Li Liang made a screen for JR, Granger walked to the baseline on the right, JR pretended to catch the ball and take away the defense, Li Liang cut outside again, caught the ball, and finally played one-on-one.

Back on the court, Li Liang thought about it and decided to keep the [Lucky Hand], but put on [God's Left Hand].

Everything went according to the tactical plan. Hill served from the side, screened in the middle, Li Liang cut outside, Smith came out of the screen and pretended to catch the ball, and Shumpert and Granger opened up space.

Li Liang ran near the middle circle before receiving the ball. He looked up at the time, 6 seconds.

At this time, Iguodala didn't know that Li Liang had become a complete left-hander, a mirror image man!

A left-handed dribble with a change of direction behind the back, continuous escape-this is obviously Curry's dribbling trick?

Iguodala didn't expect Li Liang to go left! And his dribble is so smooth.

Then cut into the basket from the left, avoiding the defense of Green and Barnes, and picked a basket with his left hand.

The ball rebounded with the help of the backboard, jumped a few times on the rim, and finally fell into the net pocket!

The red light comes on and the game is over!

The left hand broke through in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

It's over, the game is over.

Except for the Pacers players, everyone else in the entire Oracle Arena was stunned.

That's it? Killed? Lost again? Didn't you give us 0.4 seconds?

No more, no more 0.4 seconds, no more overtime.

Because the last ball bounced a few times on the basket, the time ran out.

Needless to say, Li Liang was covered in a big man again, and he still shouted: "No over time, no over time!"
