Chapter six hundred and fortieth one point difference(1/2)
Li Liang only scored 5 points in the third quarter.
The Warriors' defense against Li Liang was quite successful.
Basically, the five people in the team focused on Li Liang.
The other Pacers players are not bad in terms of strength. West, Granger, Smith, and Stephenson are all very energy-rich players.
But their strength is not enough to be a point that can restrain the Warriors and prevent the Warriors from pursuing Li Liang.
This was what Paul and Kobe did once.
Granger, Stephenson, West and others are all piecemeal and fragmented. If the state breaks out, it may be able to hold on to the situation. Unfortunately, no one will be in a big state tonight.
They could only support themselves and prevent the Warriors from widening the gap to more than 20 points.
After the Warriors gained the advantage, they were like in a long-distance race. In the final stage, they suddenly exerted force and opened up half a lap. Then they just ran the remaining distance at a constant speed and maintained the gap.
This is the manifestation of the Warriors' strength this year. I play with you in front of me, and I break through it after a while, then I finish the work and the game ends.
When the third quarter was about to end, the score had reached 72:91, and the Warriors led the Pacers by 19 points.
When Bird was dead, he chose to replace Li Liang with Scola and give Li Liang a rest.
It would be too early to give up the game.
Bird knew in his heart that if he wanted to turn the tables, he would have two points, one was defending, and the other had to rely on Li Liang's attack.
Especially his three-pointer.
Li Liang ended up taking the handed water from Mike Brown and drank it.
The third quarter was really frustrating. Under the Warriors' high-intensity defense, Li Liang only scored 5 points and made 4 other mistakes.
Iguodala and Thompson went all out.
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 be killed by Li Liang as they are so defensive.
Bird sat 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 stand it?"
The purely small lineup Bird mentioned is to replace West, use no big or small.
Li Liang glanced at Bird, "I have to push it even if I can't hold it! Otherwise, you can go?"
Bird nodded. This was his last trump card.
At this time, on the court, after Li Liang got out of the field, Stephenson made a forced three-pointer from the outside, scoring 3 points, and rewriting the score to 75:91.
The player's personal abilities are very important at this time.
The Pacers are already at a disadvantage in their entirety, and their attacks are stagnant and they cannot cooperate.
At this time, we have to rely on our personal abilities to prosper.
When a team is at a disadvantage in tactical configuration, proficiency, on-the-spot performance, etc., the best choice that you can make is to mix the water.
I can't get points, you don't think about scores.
Never think that if your attack is so smooth and gorgeous, I will also want it to be smooth and gorgeous.
Sorry, you don't have that ability.
Be sure to use defense, intensity, pull your opponent to the same level as you, and then defeat them with rich experience.
Bird knew this well, but he also knew that it was not that easy.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers were 78:93, 15 points behind the Warriors.
Not bad, in the last part of the third quarter, Stephenson and Shampoo each made a three-pointer to narrow the gap to 15 points.
The time of a quarter is still within the range that can be traced.
Bird stood up and encouraged the players who came out, but everyone was still a little depressed.
The rhythm of the entire third quarter was accused of the Warriors.
The fans of Oracle Arena all looked relaxed.
To be honest, if a fan thinks of Oracle watching a wonderful game this year, he may be disappointed.
Because the Warriors played too many massacre battles at home this year, the game lost its suspense early.
The most exciting and dramatic parts of the basketball game were all lost because of the Warriors' powerful performance.
Unless you are a die-hard fan of the Warriors and just like to watch the Warriors abuse their opponents, you will definitely feel bored.
It looks like another such game tonight.
To be honest, Li Liang has also performed many wonderfully in oracle bone script.
He played well in the first half today, but when the Warriors exerted their strength in the third quarter, he seemed a little lost.
The warrior is a fierce wolf pack. Li Liang was once the fiercest one among the wolf packs. Now he has come out and leads a group of dogs...
And there are three huskys among the dogs.
The difficulty is really not small.
But will Li Liang be discouraged?
How is that possible? On the contrary, he is still very excited!
This is the mode I want, single-core mode, single-core challenge!
What? Without helpers, all I want is without helpers.
If you can't beat me, join? Sorry, I can't beat me at the moment.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Liang was about to appear, and he was going to play the fourth quarter.
At this time, the Pacers sent a small lineup in advance - Li Liang, JR Smith, Granger, Stephenson and George Hill.
Li Liang became the highest point in the team.
On the Warriors' side, Kerr still played according to regular rotations, and he seemed to be quite confident in his second team.
As a result, Barnes broke through the layup with the ball in the middle and was blocked by Li Liang.
Li Liang just touched the ball with his fingertips, but the ball still fell into Li Liang's hands.
Hill pushed forward with the ball, and after jr Smith followed up, he took the ball and took a step outside the three-point line and hit it!
The nerve knife played a role at this time.
Including the third quarter, Smith has already scored two three-pointers in a row.
Afterwards, Livingston held the ball in the middle, swung away Hill with a fake move, and turned over and was about to take a jump shot from the mid-range.
Li Liang came over to defend and directly interfered with Livingston's shot.
If he missed, Gran's family got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Hill.
The Pacers' defense was done very well for this ball, and Li Liang's assisted defense and interference were even more timely.
After Hill passed halftime, he gave Li Liang to the top of the arc.
Li Liang did not stick the ball, and passed the ball to Stephenson on the wing, and he went over to cover himself.
After cover, Li Liang cut outside, Stephenson returned the ball, Li Liang received the ball from the left, made a three-pointer, and made a hit!
Just two minutes into the fourth quarter, the Pacers beat the Warriors 8:0, rewriting the score to 86:93, only 7 points away!
Cole immediately called for a pause.
This small lineup of the Pacers caught the Warriors off guard.
Cole was a little overwhelmed and thought he could take a while with the second team, but it didn't work at all.
The situation became tense again. After Cole was suspended, he sent Curry and Iguodala again, and Thompson was still resting off the court.
Inside Bogut is back on the stage, Green goes down to rest for a while.
When Bird saw Cole's troops deploying, he thought Cole was going to learn a lesson.
It turns out that Cole put Bogut up was a mistake.
The Pacers' small lineup gives Bogut no advantage in defense. At the same time, in the offense, the Pacers' team actively competes for backcourt rebounds, and his height advantage no longer exists.
Although Curry immediately hit a three-pointer after he came on the court, Li Liang hit a three-pointer again at the high position, assisting Stephenson twice to go to the back door, making a layup with an empty cut.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers beat the Warriors a 15:3 scoring climax, and one scored the difference to only 3 points.
A three-pointer can smooth the gap.
In addition to the surprisingly high offensive efficiency, the Pacers' small lineup is that their defense has taken effect.
In four minutes, the Pacers had a one-on-one-gate defense before, but instead began a high-intensity defense s
Whenever you pick-and-roll, you must change defenses, and when you cut and run, you must change defenses at any time, without giving the Warriors any gaps.
