The first round of this year can be said to be uneventful.

The Black Eight miracle does not exist, the two eighth-ranked teams in the east and west, not to mention the Black Eight, it is estimated that even winning one game is enough.

In other matchups, only the Spurs have the possibility of going down against the Rockets, and the other teams in the top half have an advantage over the bottom half, or a big advantage.

How else to say that the Rockets are a miserable team, winning championships every year, one round after another, and entering the semifinals of the division is equivalent to the New Year.

Losing the series, and being a good guy in the offseason, other teams can make blood, and my Rockets will never lose.

After the draft, it will be able to dominate the summer league for a while, creating a summer dynasty and giving fans a little room for imagination.

As for Li Liang, he is already thinking about his opponent in the next round.

In the two days in Boston, Li Liang was not treated as badly as he imagined.

There is no doubt that Bostonians have been brainwashed by Bill Simmons' article into thinking that Li Liang can come to Boston.

It could be next season, or it could be next season.

Some of the more avid fans even made a website to recruit Li Liang, and photoshopped a lot of pictures of Li Liang wearing a Celtic jersey on the website.

Wei Dazhi sent this website to Li Liang, and Li Liang also looked at it, thinking that this P was not good at all.

Is this what Lao Tzu looks like in a Celtic jersey? It's a lot better to be chic and handsome.

Come to think of it, on April 27, the day of the fourth battle between the two sides, Li Liang did not show mercy in the game.

The duel between the two sides was much more intense than the previous one.

The Celtics let go of their psychological baggage, and Stevens no longer racked his brains to target this and that.

What's there to target? Let go and let go of the whole team, it's the last home game.

Unexpectedly, this strategy of letting go of hands and feet has inspired the fighting spirit of the Celtic players.

TD North Shore Garden Arena is in for a thrilling playoff battle.

In the first half, the Celtics held the Pacers at one point.

The Pacers' man-to-man defense doesn't look as effective against the outbursting Celtics players.

Sometimes cracking man-to-man defense is actually quite simple, and the player is over.

Do you still dare to be targeted? Do you dare not wrap the clip? Dare not rotate.

Once you start packing, rotating, and making strategic changes, the defensive system flows.

As soon as it flows, there will naturally be other opportunities, and the players on both sides can go toe-to-toe on the field and see the moves.

In the first half, the Celtics even led the Pacers by three points.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Liang came on the court to teach a three-point man and equalized the score.

Li Liang hit three three-pointers from the outside to put the game back in the hands of the Pacers in a very short period of time.

Larry Bird watched from the sidelines and admitted in his heart that the third-year Li Liang's ability to read and control the game was really superstar-level.

He is really good at timing his shots, always hitting his teammates at important points in the game.

Even when he is on the court, he can call a timeout very well, and sometimes Bird will hand over the timeout to Li Liang.

He called when he felt like he was going to call a timeout, and he continued to play when he felt he didn't need to.

The players on the field often have a more intuitive and profound feeling of the situation than the coach.

In the third quarter, Li Liang quickly turned the situation around with a three-pointer, putting the Pacers in a tailwind situation.

Playing with the Celtics like this, the pressure on the whole team will be much less, and then it can start snowballing.

On the Celtic side, it was easy to play an advantage in the first half, but the advantage was gone in an instant, and the mentality will definitely be affected.

As a result, in the third quarter, the Celtics were constipated on offense and began to play iron frantically.

Especially Smart......

The Pacers adopted a loose strategy against Smart, which was to shoot him and shrink and concentrate more of the defensive force inside.

As a result, Smart made four three-pointers from the outside in the third quarter, and none of them were scored.

One of the balls burst out and went back into his hands, where he continued to throw in the open space.

The Pacers defenders ignored him, and Li Liang shouted directly at him: "You shoot, let's grab the rebound!" ”

As a result, Smart shot, and sure enough, he didn't hit, and Li Liang grabbed the rebound and counterattacked.

After the counterattack, the Pacers stretched the margin to more than 10 points for the first time, and then the Celtics called a timeout.

However, the Celtics did not collapse in the third quarter like in the last game, and the fourth quarter directly collapsed.

After all, this is a very disciplined and combative team, even if it dies, it will die standing up.

Stevens didn't set up anything more, but encouraged the players to let go and fight.

Li Liang was heavily defended by the Celtics in the final stages of the third quarter, with three players coming up to pounce on him each time.

The Celtics have taken their defensive intensity up another notch all of a sudden, and it's inevitable that there will be some rough moves.

The Pacers' smooth pace of play was disrupted, and Li Liang passed the ball to his teammates several times, but missed the outside space.

The Celtics seized the opportunity to chase the points, and at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics trailed by seven points.

Fourth quarter, the final showdown.

Walkers don't dare to be careless.

Once the opponent is given a little hope, the opponent's morale will return, and the battle line will be lengthened.

Kevin Garnett dominated the game on the court at the start of the fourth quarter, using his defense.

Walkers are on guard.

Didn't you let me score?

I'm not going to let you score either.

Everybody don't score, they all defend with high intensity, and see who has spent whom.

Anyway, it's the Pacers who are ahead, and time is in the Pacers' favor.

With Garnett's current fitness, he may only be able to defend at the peak of his peak for five minutes.

But five minutes is enough.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Celtics went straight into three minutes without scoring.

The Pacers only scored 2 points, but the Pacers took the lead.

By the time the Celtics finally broke the scoring drought, Li Liang had already reappeared, and there was not much time left for the Celtics in the fourth quarter.

After Li Liang came on the court, he inherited Garnett's defensive rhythm and, together with Garnett, continued to exert high pressure on the Celtics.

This kind of high-pressure defense is about to become the regular rhythm of the Pacers in the playoffs.

Defending this thing is addictive.

If offense is construction, defense is destruction.

The desire to destroy in the human body often overrides the desire to build.

Brandon Buss made a desperate break and was covered by Garnett behind the basket.

Bass grabbed the ball again and went up again, but was pressed down by Li Liang.

The ball fell to the ground, and the two sides scrambled.

Olynyk was quick, grabbed the ball, didn't have much time, got up and immediately went to the basket.

It turned out to be covered by Kevin Garnett again.

The ball flew towards the touchline, and Garnett flew off the touchline to save the ball.

It's a pity that the bones of the body are old after all, the person flew out, and the ball did not come back.

Garnett skipped off the line.

But there is only one second left for the Celtics to attack.

Garnett rolled over and did three push-ups in a row to vent the excess defensive passion in his body.

Such a scene is so familiar to the fans of TD North Shore Garden, and how nostalgic it is.

Li Liang stepped forward and lifted Garnetra up, "It's cold on the ground, don't freeze." ”

Li Liang is also quite concerned about the health of the elderly.

This goal completely broke the Celtics' desire to flutter again.

With Garnett's passion bonus, the Pacers held the advantage until the end.

At 98:87, the Pacers won Game 4 at TD North Shore Garden, and it was also a ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

4:0, Li Liang's big broom, there is another team's name.

The King of Sweeping, Li Liang is about to obtain this title.

After the game, Li Liang and the Celtic players shook hands and hugged one by one.

For the first time, Stevens enjoyed Li Liang's head-touching kill.

The mood is calm, and the head is ...... Why can't such a handsome person be bald?

Television footage also captured Larry Bird walking to the audience, shaking hands and whispering to Celtics general manager Danny Ainge.

I don't know what the two old foxes are discussing.

It may be that Anji wants Bird to use up Li Liang and send it to the Celtics to use it to support the sports construction in the Northeast.
