Chapter 840

On April 16, the rain stopped in Oklahoma City.

It rained for several days at once, and the whole city was drenched with rain.

But it is still spring, and the dampness of spring does not make people uncomfortable, on the contrary, there is a sense of refreshment.

If there is anything in Oklahoma City that particularly attracts Li Liang, it is the weather here.

Although the climate in Los Angeles is very good, Li Liang is not very used to the Mediterranean climate.

And Indiana is too far north, so the winter is really a bit cold.

In Oklahoma City, everything is just right, the climate is suitable, there will be a little snow in winter, but not much, spring and summer are warm and humid, and it feels more like the Jiangnan area of ​​China.

Li Liang stayed here for more than half a year, and played half of the 82 games in Oklahoma City. The city's transportation, food, comfort in the arena, and the enthusiasm of the fans, as well as the overall configuration of the Thunder, can be summed up in two words—— Comfortable.

This is the most comfortable season Li Liang has played since entering the league.

The 82 regular season games were easily played, and by the way, it created the record for the best record in history.

Li Liang averaged 26.8 points per game, ranking fifth in the scoring list, in addition to 7.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.5 steals.

Among them, 2.3 steals are the strongest in the league, followed by Curry, Paul, Rubio and Lowry.

You know, these data were all obtained as a substitute.

This makes him invincible in the selection of the best sixth man.

At the same time, the best defensive player will also have a little possibility.

As for MVP, the competition will be fierce.

But today, the playoffs are about to start, and the regular season is over, Li Liang no longer cares about the awards.

The comfortable regular season has been left behind by him, and he will enter the playoff mode.

Once the playoffs start, the tasks in the system will stop, and all the energy will be devoted to the game.

Of course, those props and skills in the system exchange center will also play their role and give Li Liang strong support.

After the last game against the Spurs, with 20 assists and the best record in history, Li Liang received two rewards.

One is a special item, [Magician's Lucky Headband]. Li Liang's heart skipped a beat when he saw the word "lucky".

[Dave Debusschell's Lucky Hand] Needless to say, it is a magic skill.

There is also a [Adolph Rupp's Lucky Pin] that I got from doing a mission. I still don't know what this thing is useful to this day.

Now there is a magician's lucky headband, which looks like a Monkey King's golden hoop. Li Liang tried to put it on his head in the system, but he couldn't take it off.

Of course, no Bodhisattva jumped out and said, "You are no longer a mortal..."

In short, it's another thing that doesn't have any explanation, and I don't know why it's used at all.

However, after getting the best record in history, a consumable item given to him is quite interesting, called [Xuanzong's Charm].

There are three cards in total, and they will be burned on the field when used, allowing teammates on the field to reach their best state within five minutes.

In other words, this is a group amplifier that can make players 100% in five minutes.

But for the current Thunder, this prop is useless.

Thunderclap is already too strong, so what if it's 100% for five minutes?

Anyway, the opposite side can't beat it.

The strength of the Thunder is unquestionable, and in the playoffs, the Thunder has no injuries or player fatigue at all.

The Shuangjun is approaching the last two weeks of the playoffs, and they have basically been resting, and it can be said that they are in excellent condition.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies on the opposite side once claimed to be the toughest bone in the playoffs.

But in the regular season, he was plagued by injuries.

In February of this year, Gasol was reimbursed for the season due to foot surgery and was unable to participate in the playoffs.

The black and white bears are missing one bear, and the other bear Randolph is 35 years old this year.

Although he can still consistently contribute 15 points per game, his power in the low post has long since disappeared.

What's more, the Thunder has Li Liang, so they are not afraid of Randolph at all.

On the night of the 16th, the first round of the playoffs officially started, and the Thunder played against the sick bear at home.

In this game, Li Liang is still coming off the bench.

As a result, the Thunder led the Grizzlies by 17 points at 28:11 in the first quarter. It seemed that they did not want to give the Grizzlies any chance at all.

The Grizzlies had no ability to resist the whole beating, and the strength gap between the two sides was too great. At the same time, because it was the playoffs, the Thunder were merciless in their strikes. At the end of the halftime, it felt like they were going for 58.

Of course, 58 in the playoffs is not that easy.

In the end, 12 players from the Thunder got the chance to play, and 5 scored in double figures. Westbrook scored a team-high 24 points.

The Thunder swept the Grizzlies at 110:75 at home with a 35-point advantage and easily won the first game.

It can be said that it was quite easy to win this game, and Li Liang didn't feel like breaking a sweat.

It was agreed to enter the playoffs mode, but in the end he was not given the chance to show the playoffs mode.

It can only be said that time and injuries are merciless, and the Grizzlies are no longer the Grizzlies that let the Thunder gnaw their teeth.

In the other three games on the first day, the Spurs lost to the Clippers at home in another Western Conference matchup, unexpectedly losing their home court advantage.

It can only be said that the Spurs went smoothly in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Wiggins and Booker still need to hone.

In the East, the second-ranked Raptors were also upset, losing to the Pistons at home.

DeRozan and Lowry were a little bit blind as soon as they arrived in the playoffs, and Toronto fans will suffer again.

Another game in the Eastern Conference was the Celtics against the Eagles.

The Eagles narrowly beat the Celtics by 102:101 with a 1-point advantage and got the first point of the series.

The real most eye-catching matchup in the first round was the 45-game battle between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The strength of both teams is very strong, and the fan base is very good, especially in China, the fans of the two teams are evenly matched, second only to the nomadic army following Li Liang.

Moreover, the two teams have a lot of grudges. Howard was not happy with the Lakers, and he complained a lot after being traded to the Rockets.

When the two teams met in the regular season, there were a lot of topics to talk about. Now that they meet in the playoffs, it is even more sparks hitting the earth.

But in terms of strength, the Lakers are better than the Rockets.

Leonard is in good shape, Love is also in his prime, and Kobe is in full swing.

On the Rockets' side, Harden is the facade, Howard has fallen sharply, and the chemistry between the two can only be said to be mediocre.

Howard's own lack of offensive power has caused him to become more and more puzzled, and it is difficult to play a leading role in the offense.

A lot of pressure on the ball is still on Harden's shoulders.

In terms of the ability to digest the ball, Harden is also very strong, except for a little more turnovers.

In the first game, the two teams fought at Staples, which was the most exciting game on the 17th.

The battle between the two sides reached overtime. At the critical moment, the Rockets trailed the Lakers by two points.

Harden broke through with the ball and was intercepted by Leonard, who failed to make a foul.

Leonard counterattacked and dunked successfully, helping the Lakers establish the victory.

114:110, the Lakers took the lead.

Another matchup in the West is the 71-win Warriors against the Trail Blazers.

For the Warriors, the good news is that the Blazers are not their opponents at all, and they were beaten at halftime.

The bad news is that Stephen Curry has a physical abnormality. He sprained his ankle during the game and never returned to the game after he left the game.

After the game, he will undergo an MRI examination to determine whether he will appear in the next game.

In short, this is not good news for the Warriors.

The Warriors without Curry are missing the engine.

In the first round against an opponent like the Trail Blazers, he could still fight, but in the second round, it was dangerous.

On the 18th, the third match day.

The Thunder's rematch against the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies still had no chance.

In this game, Li Liang finally showed himself in the playoff mode.

Durant and Westbrook are in mediocre form, while Li Liang completely controls the game.

In the first half, he scored 29 points and hit 5 three-pointers, helping the Thunder lead by 19 points at halftime.

The Thunder often open three quarters in the regular season, and evolved again in the playoffs, clocking in at halftime.

Grizzly has no ability to resist, and can only be rubbed under Thunder.

99:71, another big victory without suspense.

On the 19th, the NBA officially released a news: The results of the selection of the best sixth man in the regular season came out.

Bruce Lee was no surprise, and won this award that ordinary superstars can't get at all.
