Chapter 858

The second battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. The Thunder had already played at a super high level, but the Warriors were also very tenacious.

The game has been fighting until the last minute. With 59 seconds left in the game, the Thunder led the Warriors by 6 points.

It's a safe score, but it doesn't appear to be for the Warriors.

Steve Kerr called a timeout and set up a quick play.

After returning from the timeout, the Thunder had a small hole in defense and was wiped by Curry to the basket. A light pick was successful!

The point difference came to 4 points, and then, the Warriors began to press the Thunder in the frontcourt.

Westbrook made a mistake in receiving the ball and was intercepted by Green. Green passed the ball to Klay Thompson on the outside.

Thompson catches the ball and makes a three-pointer and hits it again!

Thompson's sixth three-pointer in this field!

In just ten seconds, the point difference was reduced to only 1 point!

The Thunder were under tremendous pressure, and Donovan called a timeout.

On the bench, Li Liang couldn't hold back his curse at Westbrook.

Westbrook dared to talk back, and the two almost quarreled.

The mistake just now was really inappropriate, even if it was called a timeout.

But the Thunder still lead by 1 point and still have the ball. The initiative is still in the hands of the Thunder.

The offense after the timeout is very critical. During the timeout, Donovan arranged a pick-and-roll tactic between Li Liang and Durant.

This is the safest tactical coordination.

But you think it's safest, but the Warriors also know that this is the tactic the Thunder will use.

So Cole arranged a double-team defense against Li Liang and Durant during the timeout, and Iguodala, Green, and Thompson made close interference defenses.

Faced with this situation, Li Liang, who received the sideline ball, did not follow the tactical routine rigidly, but passed the ball to Westbrook in the middle.

Westbrook received the ball in the middle of the road and took the ball and rushed to the basket with a strong stride. He took two steps from the free throw line and pushed Bogut to force a layup. It also caused a foul by Bogut and made a three-pointer!

After entering, Westbrook raised his arms and roared!

The energy center was jubilant, and the decibels exploded.

He completed his own redemption, and it was Li Liang's pass that gave him this opportunity.

But I dare not argue with the boss again.

Standing on the free throw line, Westbrook made an extra free throw.

The point difference was re-opened to 4 points, and there were still 20 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors must quickly attack and score a goal, and then conduct foul tactics.

But at this time, Li Liang will not give the Warriors any more chances.

He was still holding a [Death Coil] in his hand. After Curry held the ball for half the court, he went straight forward and Westbrook pinched Curry and succeeded in stealing the ball!

After stealing the ball, another [one shot into the soul], without giving the opponent a chance to foul, a long pass to Durant who is about to play.

Durant was unguarded in front of him, his long arms relaxed, and he succeeded in a gliding dunk!

This is the nail in the coffin for the Warriors.

10 seconds, 6 points short, no hope, no miracle.

The Warriors resisted tenaciously for the entire game, and eventually died in the hands of the Big Three.

The Warriors players have serious faces. They tried their best tonight and used 120% of their energy, but they still lost.

Li Liang once again played a decisive role at the critical moment. He is the out-and-out key player in the playoffs.

Commentators said, "Bruce Lee's performance at critical moments will never disappoint."

After winning the game, the Thunder took a 2:0 lead in the series, and the situation is very good.

On another field, the Cleveland Cavaliers also defeated the Toronto Raptors on the second day, leading 2:0.

Is James going to meet Li Liang again in the finals?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

...

After the second game, the two sides got three days of rest.

On May 20, the entire Thunder team packed up and took a plane to Oakland to prepare for the last two games of the series at Oracle.

After Li Liang flew to Oakland, he took time to walk the streets of San Francisco by himself—of course, with bodyguards.

He is really familiar with San Francisco, after all, he has walked through the system countless times.

Thirty years have passed, and the streets of San Francisco have not changed much. They are still the same as before.

However, when he walked to the place where the "Big Nate's Grill" was located, he found that the Grill had long been closed and turned into other shops.

The news of Li Liang walking the streets of San Francisco quickly became the local headlines.

Because there are so many Chinese in the San Francisco area, it is rare that many fans came to sign along the way.

It is conceivable how many fans will support the Thunder at the Oracle Arena two days later.

On May 22, the third battle between the two sides will start in Oakland.

A day ago, the Cavaliers had ended their third battle with the Raptors.

In Toronto, the Raptors avoided a sweep by beating the Cavaliers.

The impact of home and away games on the team is big or small.

Anyway, for Li Liang, home or away doesn't matter much, and his performance in away games is even better.

According to the statistics made by the media, Li Liang's performance in away games in the playoffs is better than that at home.

Like the super performance of 60 points and 50 points in the finals, they were all played away.

It was not once or twice that the opponent was silent in the away game.

In Li Liang's own words, "Only on the road can I become a pure basketball player, not a performer."

This is very pretentious, but in fact, he is willing to hang up in the away game.

The third game is crucial for both sides.

The Warriors must win the third game, and if they lose again, they will fall directly off the cliff.

0:3, without any hope.

Win the next game, and fight again in the fourth game. The two sides will still have a chance to fight Tianwangshan.

The game kicked off at 7:30 p.m. PT with a packed Oracle Arena.

The Warriors fans at the scene were all wearing yellow T-shirts, which can be described as golden armor all over the city.

However, there are still many Warriors fans among them. Although they are wearing yellow T-shirts, they are holding signs supporting the Thunder.

Needless to say, these are Li Liang fans.

The mentality of the Warriors team is not much different from the previous two games.

On the one hand, the morale is high, and they must win the game when they return to the home court.

On the one hand, there is still fear in my heart, fear of Bruce Lee.

This person has never been unreasonable, and there will always be super performances in this kind of key game.

He will not drag the game to some Tianwang Mountain, tie-break, and then show his energy, and give people praise for his strong ability in key games.

For Li Liang, there is no key game, it is over if you win all the way, there is no such thing as a tie-break.

Those who are not strong enough will have to tie five and seven.

The game begins.

Adams and Bogut jump the ball in the middle circle.

The starting lineups of the two sides have not changed from the previous two games.

Adams took the lead to get the ball, and the Thunder took the lead in attacking.

But for the first ball, Westbrook used Li Liang's pick-and-roll to cut to the basket from a high position, trying to pass the ball to Adams on the bottom line.

As a result, Green saw through, and Green succeeded in stealing the ball.

It can be seen that the Warriors have made sufficient preparations before the game against the relatively simple offensive methods of the Thunder.

During the three-day break, Cole took the players to watch the videos of the first two games repeatedly.

It was torture for the Warriors players.

Especially in the second game, there was a chance to comeback at the last moment, but they still lost in the end.

The Warriors are suffocating in their stomachs and want to let it out after returning to the home court.

Green took the ball and quickly advanced across the half court and passed the ball to Curry.

Against Robertson's close defense, Curry dribbled the ball with his left hand and forced a kill inside.

Then in the ribs, suddenly a mid-range jumper from horseback archery made two points.

Curry played the ball very tough, facing Robertson, who was much taller than him, and forced an attack.

But immediately Li Liang came out from the bottom line, received a pass from Westbrook, and made a mid-range jumper from Niujiao.

This is different from Li Liang in the previous two games. In the first two games, he didn't attack at the beginning, and usually started to exert force at the end of the first quarter.

Tonight, he started catching and shooting the first pitch.

This is an unusual omen.

Obviously, for this game, Li Liangzhi is sure to win.
