Li Liang's calmness surprised many people.

Although he is elegant and easy-going off the field, Li Liang on the field is still very popular many times.

Relying on the fact that there is a hair dryer spraying people everywhere, at the beginning, Bogut played a small move on Li Liang, and Li Liang punched the Australian's head.

Li Liang and Yao Ming are different in this regard, Yao Ming is a real Confucian general, who can talk trash talk, but will not do anything to people.

After all, the habit of being cultivated in the educational environment since childhood, parents are well-known basketball players, and they will not teach children to fight on the court.

Li Liang is different, he still has a very hard temper.

In the past two years, the NBA hair dryer has sprayed people everywhere, even the referees, and it has become even more famous.

But when it came to the Western Conference Finals, he still endured it, and never let the situation of the small soldiers fighting the big marshal happen.

This skirmish brought both sides into a pause.

After watching the footage, the referee ruled that the two were fighting for the ball.

It's time for Li Liang's favorite scrum again.

Standing in the free throw circle with Bonner, Li Liang has always been known for fighting without fighting, often not jumping but his teammates can get the ball.

Bonner looked at Li Liang with a nervous facial expression.

He was thinking in his heart, will Li Liang jump this ball?

If he doesn't jump, he must be careful to give the ball to Leonard, who has a big hand and is more stable with the ball......

Hey, how did you jump!

Bonner was thinking about it, the referee threw the ball up, and Li Liang had already rubbed it up and dialed the ball to Paul.

Bonner, on the other hand, was noticeably late and didn't touch the ball.

"Stupid, Lao Tzu and you are still fighting for the ball and not jumping?"

Li Liang faced those big centers and jumping monsters, and he would not jump and fight for the ball by luck.

Isn't Bonner sorry for his hard training if he doesn't jump again?

After more than two years of hard practice and the effects of a value-adder (mainly a value-adder), his bounce is much stronger than in the past - although the dunk is still shaky.

So in the face of Bonner, Li Liang didn't use any psychological warfare at all, he really thought too much.

The Clippers' offense.

Because of this previous skirmish, the confrontation between the two sides began to become more and more intense, and the referee's whistle scale became loose.

After receiving Paul's pass, Li Liang used Jordan Jr.'s cover to break through from the right side at 45 degrees, and used a very rare back-turn technique to wipe it under the basket in the face of Bonner, and the layup was fouled by Bonner and went to the free throw line.

Li Liang was relieved because he was worried that if Bonner didn't foul, his layup might not be able to improve.

Because his back turning technique is not up to par, he is dizzy, and he feels like he can't find the basket.

Thankfully, Bonner fouled him and sent him to the free throw line.

Popovich saw that the situation was not good, and Bonner was targeted a little badly after coming on the court, and immediately replaced Duncan again.

The Clippers also quickly replaced Jordan Jr. with Griffin to give Jordan Jr. a little respite.

Li Liang made both free throws steadily.

At 71:59, the difference has reached 12 points.

The Spurs' situation is precarious.

The momentum of the Clippers did not weaken, and in defense, Paul and Li Liang teamed up again to encircle Leonard, causing Leonard's passing error.

Leonard's organization and passing lacked spirituality, and there was no way to be congenitally deficient.

Paul held the ball and launched a quick counterattack, the ball was given to Li Liang, this time with Duncan, Li Liang chose to slow down the attack, holding the ball on the right side to attract the Spurs' defensive center of gravity.

Li Liang felt that this was an opportunity, decisively took out the "gravitational wooden fish", and then feinted from the right side with the ball.

After pulling away the Spurs defense, he immediately distributed the ball to Paul in the middle, and Paul and Griffin blocked and passed the ball to the ground.

Griffin catches the ball, the basket is empty, and he dunks it with one hand!

The Clippers have fully unleashed their energy on the offensive end.

Passing, cooperating, attacking the basket, all in one go, highlighting a quick word.

No matter how tight the rotation of the spurs is, under the pull of Li Liang's gravitational wooden fish, there is still a big gap.

Spurs are showing signs of collapse.

But the tenacity of this team is by no means comparable to that of other teams.

In the next two rounds, the Spurs' offense still did not open, and they could not find a gap after repeated passes.

Dio ball error is tackled by Barnes.

But Barnes himself held the ball and broke fast, and when the basket wanted to distribute the ball to Li Liang on the other side, the ball was cut off by Leonard.

After that, Leonard himself missed a mid-range jumper.

However, the Spurs defense bit again, and Duncan interfered with Paul's layup and controlled the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili was not in a hurry, and after halftime, he saw the opportunity, took advantage of the problems in the Clippers' defensive communication, and hit a three-point shot with a 45-degree emergency stop on the left side!

73:62, this three-point shot was really life-saving and helped the Spurs breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the case with strong teams, which can withstand wave after wave of attacks in the face of disadvantage, waiting for the opponent to show their flaws and then waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The basketball game lasts for hundreds of rounds in 48 minutes, and it is in this kind of trade-off, competing for each other to establish an advantage, and finally win the game.

At this point, the Clippers are playing with a centerless lineup.

Griffin, Li Liang and Odom are three forwards on the court, while the Spurs are also playing one big and four small.

Based on the situation on the court, Li Liang continued to feed Griffin with Paul.

The third quarter became a time for Griffin to shine.

He received the ball with his back and hit Dior in a misplaced position, turned over and made a hook shot with his right hand, and he used his bounce and power to force Dior to score two points.

Dio is indeed a surprise player for the Spurs, but he does have holes on the defensive end.

The Clippers have three fronts, and whoever Dior defends will eat this fat man.

However, Dio is indeed a riot on the offensive end.

He received the ball in a high position and shook off Griffin, dribbled straight to the basket, and when he got to the basket, he gently picked it up with his right hand, the ball grazed Li Liang's fingertips, flew to the rebound, and hit the board.

Dio didn't jump up much at all, but he had a good hand, and the timing and angle of this basket were really beautiful.

And Li Liang felt very puzzled, why did Lao Tzu become a center again!

Why should I come to help prevent capping?

Why am I standing in the three-second zone?

Lao Li, you let me play center with a small lineup, did you get my consent?

Of course, now that he is playing on the court, Li Liang has no way to go down and ask Rivers.

Or maybe Mike Brown is crazy again?

75:64, still a 11-point gap.

But then, Paul took a leisurely stroll, took advantage of the space pulled by Li Liang, found an opportunity at 45 degrees on the right side, and shot three points, and also hit!

At 78:64, more than 2 minutes before the end of the third quarter, the Spurs couldn't stay up.

Popovich called a timeout.

After the timeout, Ginobili broke through the middle with the ball and attacked the basket.

After Li Liang, who was in a serpentine maneuver and made up the defense, opened up the distance, a difficult close-range backward shot and hit a two-point shot.

Ginobili is in much better shape this year than last year.

The Argentine was still able to step up and solve problems with his individual ability when Spurs needed to score.

Then Griffin immediately gave the Spurs a heavy blow.

Li Liang distributed the ball to Griffin in the high post, and then Paul and Li Liang covered Griffin in the high post.

Griffin held the ball and hit the basket with a spinning top past Duncan, jumped high with his feet on the line in the three-second zone, and slid a one-handed dunk!

The Spurs' defense is starting to have problems, and they're starting to keep an eye on people.

In the previous game, the Spurs have always put the center on Li Liang and on Paul.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang's unremitting organization, transferring the ball, passing the ball, and finally let Griffin explode.

Then the Spurs also wanted to play a quick counterattack to score points, but Duncan received a pass from Ginobili and made a layup that was interfered with by Griffin behind and missed.

Li Liang fished the ball out of bounds and gave it to Griffin.

Then Li Liang went down as fast as the wind, Griffin gave the ball to Paul on the wing, and Paul made a long pass to Li Liang who was fast in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Li Liang took advantage of a time difference to avoid Leonard's back and dig the ball, jumped high, and dunked with both hands under the basket!

Behind the basket, Ballmer was already blushing with excitement, his neck was thick, his fists were clenched, and he roared and shouted with the fans.

At 82:66, near the end of the third quarter, the Clippers played a beautiful offensive climax, and finally rushed the Spurs to pieces.

In this case, Spurs still have people who are extremely calm.

Leonard ate Li Liang one-on-one, Li Liang cut the ball and hit Leonard's arm, and was fouled by the referee and wanted to make a free throw.

Leonard hit both free throws to make it 82-68.

Then Paul forced a three-point shot after consecutive dribbles from the perimeter and missed the shot.

Directly cast a three-non-stick.

Ginobili picked up the rebound ball and launched a counterattack, after continuous maneuvering around, Ginobili lightly clicked, and the ball was given to Leonard, who followed on the wing, and Leonard hit a 45-degree three-point shot on the right side!

82:71, Spurs are extremely tenacious.

Both sides then failed to score on the next two occasions and the game went into the final fourth quarter.

Under the calm leadership of Li Liang, the Clippers finally made a breakthrough at the end of the third quarter and successfully extended their advantage to double digits.

In this way, the game in the fourth quarter will be much easier.

Li Liang sat down to rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, at this time he scored 28 points and handed out 9 assists, and his shooting was still 100% accurate, which was terrifyingly efficient.

Li Liang sat on the bench and watched his teammates continue to play on the court.

Li Liang poked Rivers, "What lineup did you just change?" Why did I become a center? ”

Rivers turned his head to look at Li Liang, "No, I didn't let you play center, you ran to the center position by yourself, and Griffin should have been in the fifth position." ”

"Really?" Li Liang turned his head to look at Mike Brown again, and Brown nodded yes again and again.

Even Gentry and Tyronn Lue said that Li Liang ran to the No. 5 position and occupied Griffin's position, otherwise Dior would not have scored the goal just now.

Yes, after a long time, Lao Tzu still wants to play center.

To be honest, playing as a power forward is sometimes enough for him, and to the position of No. 5, the consumption of physical strength and feel is too great.

An important reason why the tactic of "center three-point shooting" has not been able to become the mainstream, and can only be an auxiliary tactic, is that even if the center's three-point shooting is very good, the great muscle collision and physical consumption in defense will cause him to be unstable in the offensive mid-range shooting.

Li Liang drank saliva and said, "Don't let me play the No. 5 position in the fourth quarter, let DeAndre be on the court with me all the time, OK?" “

The three-forward lineup just now was rarely used in the regular season.

Rivers nodded, he knew that Li Liang was going to take away the game later.

The second line-up of the two sides remained deadlocked on the field.

Spurs' bench tactics played very fluidly.

They gave Mills a three-point shot after five or six passes from the outside.

On the Clippers' side, after Li Liang and Paul got off the court, they relied more on the individual ability of the players to solve the problem.

Odom hit Dior on a back-attacking back in the low post and hit a hook shot.

There was also Crawford who caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-point shot.

However, the Spurs' offense is significantly more efficient.

Popovich was very targeted to keep Duncan on the court and play off the bench.

Duncan is no longer the low-post killer of the past, but his role in attacking strategy and covering is unmatched by many interior players.

With Duncan in place, the Spurs' positional offense will run much more smoothly.

Mills hit two three-pointers in a row from the outside, and then Duncan drew a foul on Jordan Jr. for a layup from Ginobili, and he made free throws from the free throw line.

Duncan hit both free throws, and the score became 87-81, bringing the difference to six points.

The Spurs' pursuit is always quiet, and when you realize it, you think, why are they catching up again?

Li Liang couldn't sit still when he saw the time, and asked Rivers to call a timeout and replace himself on the court.

Rivers was obedient and immediately called a brief timeout for a substitution.

At this point, there were 8 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter.

Li Liang, who has been working efficiently for 40 minutes, is about to take away the game.
