Chapter 835 Gambler

Li Liang thought about throwing more, and when the hit rate dropped and he couldn't make it, he stopped throwing.

But even Li Liang himself didn't think about it, it seems that he has been entering it all the time.

After returning from the timeout, within three minutes, the Lakers scored two three-pointers in a row, and Kobe also hit two free throws.

But the Thunder still maintained the lead, because Li Liang also made two three-pointers and assisted Adams in the high position, allowing Adams to dunk easily.

Roy Hibbert is obviously a little cumbersome inside.

When Li Liang is on the court, the outside line actually needs a lot of defensive density.

But Hibbert's movement speed is a problem. When he tries to come out to help defend, he often can't get back.

As a result, the inner line was empty.

Hibbert's best defense is still standing up, but when the Thunder's offense all comes from outside shots, Hibbert began to run back and forth on the court.

When it comes to offense, Hibbert's significance is also limited.

On the court, Kobe passed the ball to Hibbert twice, allowing him to dominate in the low post.

As a result, both hooks missed and Adams couldn't be moved.

The inside miss gave the Thunder a chance to counterattack.

If it weren't for Leonard's quick response, a steal, and an offensive rebound, the Lakers' point difference would be widened.

Of course, the Thunder also has a problem, that is, Li Liang is their only reliable offensive point.

The Lakers began to double-team Li Liang, and Li Liang tried to pass the ball in, to Adams, to Waiters who cut in the air, and attacked the Lakers' inside line.

Hibbert, the big man who had performed well in the Pacers and was known as the "Black Yao Ming" two seasons ago, began to fade away in just two seasons, becoming a player who might not be as good as Mai Key's defensive insider is gone.

More than five minutes into the third quarter, Hibbert fouled Adams maliciously in a defense, and the referee blew him a technical foul.

Adams made a free throw and Scott replaced Hibbert.

Hibbert looked a little annoyed. Now he can play a little longer against weak teams and show off his low-post skills.

Once facing a slightly stronger team, they all attack quickly and make three-pointers from the outside one after another, which makes him particularly cumbersome.

Adams made two free throws and missed one of the two free throws...

Another chance for a throw-in.

Leonard stared closely at Li Liang, always on guard against Li Liang catching the ball and throwing a three-pointer.

But how to prevent this?

Li Liang received the serve from the outside. At this time, he was standing three steps away from the three-point line.

It stands to reason that to defend against ordinary players, three steps away, you just take two steps back and stand on the three-point line to defend.

But if you want to defend Li Liang like this, he just pulls it up and throws it, and the hit rate is not low.

What if you want personal defense? The gap left behind is too big, and Li Liang will break through.

So, why does a coach like Stevens arrange a triple defense for Li Liang.

On the Lakers side, Leonard still insisted on one-on-one defense.

Scott still doesn't want to use the playoff strategy, and Leonard wants to continue to challenge himself.

But Li Liang didn't give him this chance. After Adams came to pick and roll, Li Liang gave Adams the ball.

Adams broke through the middle with the ball, facing Love, chose a small throw and hit two points.

Li Liang returned to defense, and then an inexplicable sentence floated in front of him, [anger value +10, from Kawhien Leonard].

Li Liang is simply inexplicable, man, why are you so angry?

Where is your anger, brother, you will be angry if I pick and roll, pass and assist?

But Li Liang wasn't sure, maybe he was angry about what happened in the first half?

Anyway, no clues could be seen on Leonard's face.

However, Leonard quickly stepped up his offense.

He received a pass from Clarkson from the outside. After shaking Robertson away with a fake move, he went inside with the ball and succeeded in a smash with one hand!

Leonard's breakthrough is still a little stiff, but the speed, angle of entry, and visual shock brought by one-handed catching the ball are still very strong.

Immediately, Li Liang received the serve from the back court, and after halftime, he was still in the same position as before, one-on-one with Leonard.

This time, Li Liang didn't pass the ball again.

When Leonard pushed forward, Li Liang chose to break through.

Entering the middle, Love came to help defend, and Li Liang made a mid-range jump shot.

Not only hit, but also caused Leonard's defensive foul, and an additional penalty is required!

Leonard argued with the referee, but it was useless.

Li Liang made an extra penalty and succeeded in 2+1.

Li Liang has become more proficient and precise in the mid-range jump shot.

Although he is a bit worse than Durant in accuracy, but because of his huge three-point threat, he can always find a good shooting space for himself.

Leonard is considered to be on the bar with Li Liang.

On the offensive end, Leonard received Kobe's pass and singled Li Liang in the middle.

Under Li Liang's strict defense, he made an emergency stop and made a jump shot at the bull's horn position.

Li Liang saw it, good boy, compete with me in shooting, right?

I took the bet.

Therefore, Li Liang decided to use props.

He summoned [Ködinger's Dice] from the system, and he decided to take a gamble.

In previous games, like the one against the Trail Blazers, Li Liang used Ködinger's dice at the last moment.

The result was very unlucky, and I cast a black six, which is called a disaster.

The kind that bites the bullet and rushes to the basket without making a layup.

Pass the ball to teammates, and teammates dare not shoot.

If you want to break this kind of bad luck, you can only use the offensive rebounding method, frantically don't make a goal at the basket, grab it, don't make it, grab it again, don't make it again, and use up the number of shots.

It's a pity that there was not enough time for that game, and we lost the game in the end.

Li Liang then decided not to use the dice in games again unless there was a lucky hand.

However, people are gamblers.

Once you lose the bet, you will definitely think about doing it again, and you must win next time.

Li Liang thought in his heart, Kobe is here tonight, I don't believe it will be black again!

[Use Ködinger's dice! 】

Li Liang rolled the dice that only he could see. The big dice rolled several times on the court, and finally the red 3 side turned up.

"Yes!" Li Liang was very excited and clenched his fists.

Even if the personal strength of this hooker is already very strong, he is still very keen and likes to cheat.

What a shameless person indeed.

With the blessing of the dice, Li Liang naturally started his performance.

He had already made two three-pointers in the third quarter. This time, after halftime, he received a pass from Waiters and immediately broke through with the ball.

Then make an emergency stop at the top of the arc and make a quick three-pointer!

Leonard kept close to Li Liang, and he defended the ball so well that his hand almost touched the ball.

Li Liang's shooting posture is also awkward, and he has to shoot in this situation.

But the ball still passed through the heart and hit a three-pointer!

Leonard felt a little sweaty in his palms, and a bad feeling came over him.

This thing is about to start, this rhythm, this rhythm of ignoring everything and throwing it in casually.

Kobe also realized this. After hitting a mid-range shot, Kobe began to encircle Li Liang with Leonard.

But Li Liang used Adams to overdo it, received a supporting pass at 45 degrees to the left, took a step back and shot again!

When you get the blessing of the dice, unless you cover Li Liang, or Li Liang throws blindly in the opposite direction, after making a normal shot, you must enter.

"Shua!" The ball went into the net again, and Li Liang felt that he felt very good, maybe he could hit it without dice?

After two consecutive three-pointers, the energy center began to heat up.

Scott couldn't sit still.

And Mike Brown felt that he saw 100% Li Liang.

One after another three-pointer, the opponent who shot it fell into despair.

This is the familiar Bruce Lee, the Bruce Lee who rarely appeared in the Thunder this season.

Both Durant and Westbrook stood up and cheered for Li Liang's three-pointer.

Leonard was a little impatient, forced a breakthrough, and gave Love the ball. As a result, Love caught the ball and made a layup, but Leonard knocked down Robertson and was called an offensive foul.

Goal invalid, Thunderball.

Li Liang clapped his hands towards Adams, signaling him to serve quickly.

After getting the ball, Leonard was running back with his head down, returning to defense after halftime.

And Li Liang dribbled a few steps forward, still far away from the center line, and directly made a super long-distance shot-it can't be called a shot, but pushed the ball towards the basket.

Leonard ran across the midfield with his back to Li Lianggang, and when he looked up, he saw a ball flying through the sky.

Fly toward the basket.

what happened? The end of the third quarter?

No, it's only half way through.

Then, the ball flew to the backboard, and with a "bang", it hit the backboard and went into the basket!

In a normal attack, Li Liang threw it before halftime and scored!

The Thunder's bench went crazy, Kobe stood there shaking his head, and the fans screamed.

And Leonard didn't even look back, and continued to run forward, running back to the bench.

He knew that the coach should call a timeout.
