Chapter 545: The Light of Victory(1/2)
Li Liang likes this feeling of relaxation, and he knows that it is a precursor to his status.
This feeling cannot be just like you want to come. The more you think about "relax", the less you end up not relaxing.
So Li Liang never forces himself, he just lets himself focus on the game and the present.
What big score 3: o lead, sweep or go home, or who will play in the Western Conference Finals, is cleared out of his mind.
He sat on the bench to rest, so that he could soak himself in this feeling of relaxation.
In the third section, Li Liang used several skills and props in succession to slowly reverse his poor condition and situation.
By the fourth quarter, when the skills and props are used up, he can rely on himself.
At this time, Griffin brought the second team to fight against the Trail Blazers on the court.
Griffin is a trustworthy teammate. He played with Li Liang for a season, and Griffin's progress is obvious to all.
Not only in terms of football skills, but also in terms of mentality and game attitude, Griffin has become much more mature.
Although Griffin is an honest man, Griffin is still very playful off the court.
After all, it is normal for the owner to do something like a beast occasionally.
There are so many temptations in Los Angeles, so Griffin has always had many scandals in the past.
But this season, Griffin has lost a lot of lace in all aspects.
The team's focus and uplifting atmosphere influenced everyone.
Griffin can be said to be diligent in his position and hard-working in his low-post skills. He is a very trustworthy offensive core point for the Clippers.
In the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, Griffin scored consecutively at the basket, helping the Clippers maintain the advantage of 2 points and 3 points, ending the third quarter.
After the fourth quarter started, Griffin was still on the court for 2 minutes of excessive play.
The score difference did not widen, and the Trail Blazers were unable to turn over, and there was a death tug of war between the two sides.
At this time, the Trail Blazers suddenly ushered in a burst of scoring.
Livingston grabbed the frontcourt rebound and was fouled on the free throw line, but the rare missed two free throws.
The Trail Blazers got the backcourt rebound and counterattacked. Patton received the ball and rushed to the basket, and made a layup that caused Griffin to foul.
The extra penalty hits, and the two sides tied to 84:84.
Then, the Clippers missed another jump shot from the outside, and Griffin got the frontcourt rebound, but as soon as he got the ball, he was intercepted by Matthews.
The Trail Blazers' steals tonight were more than the previous three games combined.
Another opportunity to fight back.
It was still Patton who had already rushed through the half, received a long pass from Matthews, and he dunked with both hands!
The surprise Patton scored 5 points in a row, helping the Trail Blazers turn back and reversed the Clippers by 2 points.
Rivers called for a timeout, and the team did encounter a lot of trouble in this game.
In the third quarter, I thought I could set the victory in one fell swoop, but who knew that the Trail Blazers were very tenacious. They did not relax in defense or offense. They bite it and bit the score back.
Rivers clicked Li Liang and signaled that it was time for him to make a comeback.
Li Liang took off his coat and played with Paul and Jordan Jordan.
Griffin did not go down to rest, and the Clippers directly joined the entire main lineup.
9 minutes will determine the outcome.
The Trail Blazers are still in high morale, and they did play very well in this game.
After the timeout, Li Liang tried a three-pointer from the outside but failed to hit the first ball.
Lillard fought back with the ball, dribbled continuously and passed Paul, then broke into the inside, and passed the ball to Ade on the wing. Ade dribbled the ball and cut into the basket with a fake move, and scored a basket with his left hand, and then got the Trail Blazers to lead by 4 points.
On the Clippers' side, the ball was handed to Paul.
Paul dribbled continuously, using Jordan Jr.'s cover to hit a jump shot in the middle distance within three seconds.
Then, Matthews ran back and wanted to jump shot, but was blocked by Li Liang.
But Lillard got the ball and took a three-pointer from the outside, not only hitting the ball but also causing Paul to foul!
Score four points!
After watching the video repeatedly, the referee confirmed that this was a three-point shooting foul and had to be fined.
Lillardga's free throw was suddenly widened to 6 points.
The fans of the Trail Blazers cheered and felt that the victory of the ball was not far from them.
Lillard did play beautifully, shot decisively, and hit this magical goal.
With 6 points, Li Liang's efforts in the third quarter were in vain again.
However, Li Liang knew that the game itself was full of ups and downs, and no one could always lead.
It will not be clear until the last moment.
Li Liang will use his method to help the team.
Paul still controls the ball on the court, he picks and rolls with Jordan Jr. Jordan Jr. in the middle, and he will dunk when receiving the ball, but he failed to hit it!
Jordan's offense today felt very bad. He didn't eat cakes several times.
The ball even bit the mouth, but it still fell out.
But Li Liang followed up and snatched the frontcourt rebound.
Then, Li Liang pretended to shoot, but passed the ball to Griffin who followed, and Griffin got a dunk!
It also caused Robin Lopez's defensive foul.
Griffin stepped forward and slapped Li Liang in high fives. The ball was shockingly scattered and beautiful.
The extra penalty hit was only 3 points away.
But Lillard really started this game. After a simple screening of the outside dribble, he pulled up and shot, and made another three-pointer at the top of the arc!
Moda's center was filled with joy, but Lillard's expression was solemn and his brows were furrowed. He was bound to win this game.
At this time, Lillard began to take the initiative to guard against Li Liang, which could be said to be tightly held to prevent Li Liang from receiving the ball.
Paul used the help of cover to hit the basket, but the last layup was poor, Ade's interference failed.
The Trail Blazers got the backcourt rebound and fought back with the ball. Batum passed the ball to Ade who was fast down in the middle. Ade caused Jordan Jr. to interfere and pass the ball to Matthews in the bottom corner.
Paul almost stole the ball from Matthews, but when he saved the ball, he was just in the hands of Patton at the basket.
Patton easily dunked with both hands, and the Trail Blazers led by 8 points!
This is the biggest lead in the game so far.
But Rivers did not call the timeout. I don’t know if it was because of confidence in the players or whether it was not a big deal.
Li Liang took the opportunity to get rid of Lillard's defense and inserted it at 45 degrees on the right to catch Paul's pass, and made a three-pointer.
Originally, the heat was reaching the center of Moda at 10 degrees, and it felt like a pot of cold water was poured, which suddenly became much quieter.
When scored, Li Liang's three-pointers always have a miraculous effect of stopping bleeding.
At this time, Lillard, who was in hot hands, was not afraid. He completed the pick-and-roll with Robin Lopez again at the high position, and then made a three-pointer from the top of the arc!
Go again!
Paul went around the back of Lillard, with a small push in his hand, which caused Lillard to lean forward in his shot.
But it did not prevent Lillard from throwing the ball, and the referee did not call Paul a foul. This guy's movements were very concealed.
The score difference has returned to eight points, and the Trail Blazers players have never felt that the victory is so close to them.
There are less than five minutes left before the end of the game.
At this time, Li Liang became more calm.
The Clippers fought a very beautiful position on the strong side and attacked the tactics.
Paul handed the ball to Li Liang at a high position, and Li Liang pretended to pass the ball to Griffin, who was asking for the ball at the waist, while Paul cut into the three-second zone with the help of Griffin's cover.
Then Li Liang had a very beautiful penetrating pass to Paul at the basket.
A typical Li Liang style passer is not very good and has great courage. Once successful, the benefits will be huge.
Although Lopez came to assist in defense, Paul still tricked Lopez with a fake move, then made a layup and scored two points.
Then, Lillard made a fourth three-pointer from the outside, but unfortunately this time he lost the touch of the front and would never make it.
Jordan Jr. won the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Paul.
As a result, Paul's mid-range jump shot after the pick-and-roll was blocked by Lillard!
Lillard's performance tonight was really good.
After Ade got the ball, he passed it to Matthews who was about to get off the ball. Matthews made a layup at the basket, but Li Liang slapped him from the back and gave the Trail Blazers a big hat!
Li Liang scored the ball from behind from Matthews's hand. The ball did not go out of bounds. After Li Liang landed, he also controlled the ball.
