Li Liang scored only five points in the third quarter.

The Warriors' defense of Li Liang was quite successful.

Basically, the attention of the five members of the team was focused on Li Liang.

The other players of the Pacers are not bad in terms of strength, West, Granger, Smith, and Stephenson are all very energetic players.

But their strength is not enough to become a point that can contain the warriors and make the warriors dare not encircle and intercept Li Liang.

This is what Paul and Kobe Bryant used to do.

The likes of Granger, Stephenson and West are all piecemeal, and if the form breaks out, they might be able to hold the situation, but unfortunately no one has exploded tonight.

They could only barely hold on and not let the Warriors stretch the margin above 20 points.

After the Warriors gained the advantage, it was like in a long-distance run, and in the final stage, they suddenly opened up the distance by half a lap, and then they just ran the rest of the distance at a constant speed to maintain the gap.

This is a manifestation of the strength of the Warriors this year, playing with you in front, hitting through a wave at the point, and then calling it a day, and the game is over.

By the end of the third quarter, the score had come to 72-91, and the Warriors led the Pacers by 19 points.

Bird chose to replace Li Liang with Scola during a dead ball and let Li Liang rest.

It's still too early to give up on the game.

Bird knew in his heart that if he wanted to turn the tables, he had to make two points, one on defense, and the other on Li Liang's offense.

Especially his three-point shot.

Li Liang got off the field, took the water from Mike Brown's hand, and drank it with a bang.

The third quarter was really embarrassing, and under the Warriors' high-intensity defense, Li Liang only scored 5 points and made 4 turnovers.

Iguodala and Thompson are both giving it their all.

Last season in the Clippers, the Warriors also played the Clippers in this configuration to deal with Li Liang.

But the Clippers have Griffin and Paul, and the Warriors will die if they defend Li Liang like this.

Bird sat down next to Li Liang and said, "We still have a chance, we need to defend." ”

Li Liang took another sip of water and said, "I know, but we also need to attack." ”

Bird said: "I'll try a pure small lineup later, can you withstand it?" ”

The pure small lineup that Bird is talking about is to replace West, no big or small.

Li Liang glanced at Bird, "If I can't stand it, I'll have to do it!" Or are you on? ”

Bird nodded, this was already the last hole card in his hand.

At this time, on the court, after Li Liang got off the court, Stephenson forced a three-point shot from the outside and scored 3 points, rewriting the score to 75:91.

The individual quality of the players is very important at this time.

The Pacers are already at a disadvantage, their offense is stagnant, and they can't play together.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on personal ability to continue life.

When a team is at a disadvantage in terms of tactical configuration, proficiency, on-the-spot performance, etc., the best choice you can make is to muddy the water.

I can't score, and you don't want to score.

Don't think that if your attack is so smooth and gorgeous, I should be so smooth and gorgeous.

I'm sorry, but you don't have that ability.

Be sure to use defense, intensity, to pull your opponent to the same level as you, and then beat them with a lot of experience.

Bird knows this, but he also knows that it won't be easy.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers trailed the Warriors by 15 points, 78-93.

Not badly, in the late third quarter, Stephenson and Shambaugh each hit a three-pointer to narrow the gap to 15 points.

The time of one section is still within the scope of traceability.

Bird got up and encouraged the players who came off the field, but everyone was still a little frustrated.

The rhythm of the game was controlled by the Warriors throughout the third quarter.

The fans at Oracle Arena looked relaxed.

Truth be told, if a fan wants to see a great game from Oracle this year, he might be disappointed.

Because the Warriors have played too many slaughter battles at home this year, the game lost suspense early.

The best and most dramatic parts of basketball were lost to the Warriors' powerful performance.

Unless you're a die-hard Warriors fan and just like to watch the Warriors wreak havoc on their opponents, you're bound to get bored.

It looks like another game like this tonight.

To be honest, Li Liang has given a lot of wonderful performances in Oracle.

He played well in the first half today, but in the third quarter, the Warriors seemed to be a little lost.

Warriors are fierce wolves, and Li Liang used to be the most ferocious of the wolves, and now he has come out with a pack of dogs......

And in this group of dogs, there are also three huskies.

It's really difficult.

But will Li Liang be discouraged?

How could it be, on the contrary he was still excited!

This is the mode I want, the single-core mode, the single-core challenge!

What the? If there is no helper, what Lao Tzu wants is no helper.

If you can't beat it, join it? Sorry, haven't beaten me at the moment.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Liang immediately appeared on the court, and he had to play the fourth quarter.

At this point, the Pacers fielded a small lineup early — Li Liang, JR Smith, Granger, Stephenson plus George Hill.

Li Liang became the highest point in the team.

On the Warriors' side, Kerr still plays according to the regular rotation, and he seems to be quite confident in his second lineup.

As a result, Barnes held the ball in the middle and broke through the left-handed layup, which was hatted by Li Liang.

Li Liang just touched the ball with his fingertips, but the ball still fell into Li Liang's hands.

Hill advanced with the ball, and after JR Smith followed up, he took a step outside the three-point line and shot directly, and hit!

The nerve knife came into play at this time.

Counting the third quarter, Smith has hit two three-pointers in a row.

After that, Livingston held the ball in the middle, and after feintting to shake off Hill, he turned over and made a mid-range jumper that was about to be shot.

Li Liang came over and directly interfered with Livingston's shot.

missed, Gran got the backcourt rebound, and then handed the ball to Hill.

The Pacers' defense is very well done, and Li Liang's defensive interference is even more timely.

After Hill passed the half, he gave it to Li Liang at the top of the arc.

Li Liang didn't stick to the ball, and distributed the ball to Stephenson on the wing, and he went over to cover himself.

After covering, Li Liang cut outside, Stephenson returned the ball, Li Liang received the ball on the left side, made a three-point shot, and hit it!

Just two minutes into the fourth quarter, the Pacers beat the Warriors 8:0 and rewrote the score to 86:93, only 7 points away!

Cole immediately called a timeout.

The Pacers' small lineup caught the Warriors off guard.

Kerr was a little overwhelmed, thinking that he could spend a while with a second lineup, but it didn't work at all.

Tensions are back in place, with Kerr re-deploying Curry and Iguodala after a timeout, and Thompson resting off the court.

Bogut re-entered the game, and Green went down to rest for a while.

Bird saw Cole's formation and thought to himself that Cole was going to learn a lesson.

As it turned out, it was a mistake for Cole to let Bogut come up.

The Pacers' small lineup gives Bogut no advantage in defense, and at the same time, in the offense, the Pacers actively fight for rebounds in the backcourt, and his height advantage also disappears.

Although Curry hit a three-pointer immediately after the court, Li Liang hit another three-pointer in the high post and twice assisted Stephenson to walk through the backdoor and make a layup.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers played a 15-3 scoring surge for the Warriors, and one chased the difference to only 3 points.

A three-pointer can close the gap.

In addition to the Pacers' small lineup with surprisingly efficient offense, the key is that their defense works.

Over the course of four minutes, the Pacers switched from their previous one-on-one to man-to-man defense and instead began a high-intensity switch.

Every time the block is dismantled, the defense must be changed, and the air cut and reverse run must also be changed at any time, not giving the warrior any gap.

Do you want to misplace?

To be honest, except for Hill, who is a little shorter, the remaining four people have the ability to defend against small things.

And the Warriors have Bogut on the offensive end, to put it bluntly, it is 4 to 5, and under the tireless change of defense by the Pacers, there was immediately a stagnation of moving the ball.

And because of the change of defense, Bogut's mobile blocking and dismantling cover was also discounted, and after he came out to cover, Li Liang directly changed to the one-on-one defense library.

It's a battle between the souls of two teams.

In this situation, how could Li Liang not use skills?

[Death Winding] that has been holding back more than three quarters of the game!

The moment Curry held the ball and was about to break through, he attacked Curry!

Li Liang was like a beast, rushing towards Curry with the wind, enveloping him, and then snatching the ball out of his hand!

That's right, Li Liang snatched the ball and grabbed it hard!

After snatching it, immediately give it to JR-Smith, who is about to get down.

Smith catches the ball and makes a layup, but is blocked by Iguodala who is following behind.

But the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Li Liang follows closely behind, and he succeeds in the air!

95:96, a difference of 1 point.
