12 minutes, we still have 12 minutes to make amends for some of the mistakes we made in the previous 36 minutes. Of course, we didn't make a mistake in the first 24 minutes, but in the third 12 minutes we had too many problems. I wonder if all of you are aware of it? Control our fouls, focus, improve defense, shoot those damn shots! The opportunity is still on our side, everyone, there will always be a chance, the question is whether you can seize it! ”

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Li Liang squatted in front of the bench and mobilized for the last quarter.

In fact, Li Liang's own performance in the third quarter was not good, but Li Liang did not rush to take over the game, and used three-point shots to fight against the Warriors, but patiently adjusted tactics and patiently gave the players a chance.

Now, with a quarter to go, he believes the Kings won't be easily defeated by the Warriors.

After entering 2017, especially after getting PJ Tucker, the mental outlook of the entire Kings team is not the same as before.

“Come on！ Come on！ After finishing speaking, Li Liang took off his sportswear, slapped his hands and returned to the court with his teammates.

At this time, the Warriors were still James on the court with a bench lineup, ready to start the fourth quarter.

Watching Li Liang and his teammates stand on the court, James looked up at the score again, and it felt really difficult.

In all the previous games with Li Liang, not only in the regular season but also in the playoffs, it is really difficult for you to lead by more than ten points before the start of the fourth quarter.

Coming to the king, it seems that Li Liang's scoring explosiveness is not as strong as before.

Perhaps, as a coach, a lot of his energy has been involved.

Earlier, James respected Li Liang, and the two had private contact and expressed great admiration for Li Liang James.

The so-called heroes cherish heroes.

But slowly, when James kept losing to Li Liang and Li Liang, there was no comparison between the two.

James went from respect and admiration to fear and awe.

Along with it, people's expectations of James have changed dramatically.

At first, it was hoped that he would become the first man in history to challenge Michael Jordan's supremacy.

That's why when he changed his court in 10 years, it caused so much criticism.

The core of the criticism is not that you leave the Knights, nor do you engage in live broadcasts, but that you are the first person people expect.

At that time, the first person should not have done such a thing.

Changing to another ordinary player and switching to another team will only increase the news flow and give people a sense of expectation.

By the summer of '16, when James changed teams for the third time, there was no criticism.

The environment has changed, and then the expectations of him have changed to "Let's hope James can win Bruce Lee once." ”

Just like hoping that Karl Malone can win Jordan once, it's a sympathy for the challenger's repeated defeats.

The former King, just like that, was beaten from the king to the Grand Duke.

There was a time when the league came out with a moth that changed the nickname to the back of all players' jerseys instead of names.

James printed King, and fans ridiculed that it should be changed to Grandee.

"Do you think you've won?" Li Liang passed by James' side at this time and said softly.

James gritted his teeth and replied, "There are still 12 minutes." ”

12 minutes, in fact, the difference is only 10 points.

The first thing the Kings have to do is to come out of the shadow of being reversed by 22 points in a single quarter by their opponents in the third quarter.

On the first offense, Li Liang blocked and dismantled Gordon in the high position, Gordon twisted his ass into the basket, and turned back to pass the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang received the ball and shot a mid-range jumper again!

Hit!

Li Liang chose to play on the second team off the bench, and the Warriors' defense must have been slack.

Cole is also the head iron, and when he saw Li Liang playing in advance, he didn't mean to rotate the main force in advance.

Perhaps, he thinks James can handle the situation on the court.

Then, James burst into the basket in the middle and gave the ball to Looney, who was interfered with by Kouvers and missed the layup.

Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound, counterattacked, Li Liang slowly passed the half, and then passed the ball to Gordon on the wing.

After Gordon received the ball, he made a 45-degree direct three-point shot on the right side and hit it!

Scored 5 points in a row, and the difference was narrowed to 5 points.

Gordon's three-pointer is quite important.

Gordon didn't open in the first three quarters, especially in the third quarter, and wasted a lot of opportunities.

However, he still dared to make bold shots, and Li Liang also dared to pass the ball to him.

Cole immediately called a timeout, knowing he couldn't delay any longer.

After a short timeout, Kerr brought Thompson and Pachuglia back on.

The combination of the two proved to be effective in containing Li Liang in the third quarter tonight.

But it is clear that Cole underestimated Li Liang's attacking power.

Again, in terms of technique, Li Liang is not the best attacker in the world, but his scoring ability is so powerful: first of all, he has hanging, and secondly, he plays extremely smart.

After Thompson and Pachuglia came on the court, Li Liang began to attack from the previous passive catch, which should be active ball control.

After taking the initiative to control the ball, Li Liang had more freedom, and he began to stare at Pachulia and attack.

After the first double block, he hit the basket against Pachulia and hit the iconic pull-up jump shot.

Then, Li Liang grabbed from a high position, and [Death Entanglement] made a steal.

Li Liang slowly controlled the ball over the half, waiting for the Warriors players to defend and settle down.

Pachulia was in a very high position as always, Li Liang directly [Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty Sect] worshiped the Buddha and entered the middle lane, and then used his body to lean on Pachulia to make a foul.

There's no better way to score than a free throw.

After hitting both free throws, the Kings suddenly narrowed the gap to just one point.

The two sides are back on the agreed starting line.

But immediately, Iguodala stepped up, received the ball in the low post and turned his back to hit Gordon in a misplaced position, causing Gordon's foul.

Penalty kick.

Iguodala hit both free throws, and there is no doubt that Li Liang's outburst in a short period of time has narrowed the gap between the two sides, and the two sides are about to enter a tug-of-war.

Li Liang pointed to the bench on the sidelines and signaled for a substitution.

The main players Cousins, Tucker, and Rondo have all appeared.

The two sides entered the final showdown.

The Warriors turned on an infinite pinch defense, focusing on Lee Liang and Cousins.

After Cousins held the ball, he was caught by James and Green and made a mistake on the ball.

With a frustrated face, he complained to the referee twice, and Green had already run with the ball and pushed the counterattack.

But Green's ground-hitting pass was seen through by Rondo, who broke the ball and regained possession.

At this time, Cousins was still in the front court and did not return.

By mistake, Rondo made a long pass to Cousins, and Cousins easily dunked unguarded under the basket.

Then, Gordon pulled out Thompson's ball from behind from the outside.

The ball went out of bounds and the referee awarded the king possession.

The game was tilting in the King's favor.

The Kings are an emotional team, and once morale is up, defensive motivation and offensive shooting percentage will increase.

The difference between the two sides reached 1 point, and Li Liang held the ball on the outside to face Thompson and Zaza Pachulia not far away.

After dribbling continuously, Cousins came over to make a fake cover to attract Thompson's attention, Li Liang seized the moment when Thompson's squint and turned back, and directly pulled out a three-point shot from a long distance!

Li Liang's signature ultra-long-distance three-pointer accurately passed through the center of the net!

After this ball was thrown, Klay Thompson was expressionless, did not look back, and ran directly towards the front court.

He knew that this ball would definitely go in, and there was no need to grab rebounds.
