James' avoidance against Li Liang further widened the victory gap with the Cavaliers.

The morale Pacers then began their winning streak in March.

On March 2, they swept the 76ers at home with a 100:70 and 30 points advantage.

To be honest, the NBA without a promotion and relegation system has such a chronic disease, that is, at the end of the season, once a team is determined to make a bad mind, many games will lose their focus completely.

It is said that NBA has no weak teams, but one side should have a clear mind and not want to win, so the game is really impossible to watch.

This is how the 76ers are. After the All-Star Game, the whole team is no longer interested in the game. They just play casually and lose less as if they win. If they really win, they will lose.

Then after the Pacers beat 76 people, the next one to come and send the Knicks.

If you say that the Knicks are bad, there is really nothing, they are really bad.

Last season, the Knicks were second in the East, and this season has fallen apart and dives towards the Lotto.

Facing the Pacers with a well-equipped and strong morale, how could the Knicks be the opponent?

108:82, another big victory.

It is said that the All-Stars are running in before the game, and the All-Stars starts to sprint after the game.

As a result, after the Pacers arrived at the All-Star Game, the number of games that won the big score increased.

After the game, Li Liang silently sighed that the Eastern Conference game is easy to play.

If this were in the West, there would probably be no more relatively easy games.

After all, the Western Conference team will be thriving in the face of a playoff spot.

Often, 7-11 places have the qualifications and opportunities to enter the playoffs, so it is difficult to play in every game.

The east is different, with no fierce competition. There are a few that have been in ruins all year round, and there are also a few that have not been hot or rising or falling all year round.

Overall, the schedule is much easier, and the Cavaliers' performance this year is unstable. Although the Hawks are strong, they do not pose a real threat to the Pacers. The Raptors started the season quite strong, but they started to lose in the middle and late stages of the season, with one wave of losses one after another, and whether they can win 50 wins by the end of the regular season is a problem.

So, the whole month of March became a training for the Pacers.

Bird finally faced the advice given by Li Liang, and the Pacers should indeed win 60 wins.

Bird himself did not expect that the Pacers would have a chance to win 60 times this season.

In fact, the Pacers were very likely to win 60 last season, but they ended up having a bloody crash after the trade.

Now Li Liang uses his powerful integration (swearing) ability to allow Pacers to quickly experience turmoil and become a team again.

On March 7 and March 8, the Pacers killed the Bulls at home and away games at 101:85, and then defeated the Knicks again.

After playing the Knicks, with the Hawks losing, the Pacers topped the top spot in the Eastern Conference!

Li Liang's scores in these games have declined slightly.

Because the game was too easy, it was a big victory of more than ten or twenty points.

Sometimes I check in for three quarters and don’t have much playing time to perform.

Li Liang left more energy on sitting on the bench and Garnett's mouth.

Two people really meet opponents, they will meet good talents, and they will meet confidants when they drink, and they will have a similar smell.

The joy of a stinky mouth is really unimaginable.

Anyway, when it comes time for garbage time, the two of them are not idle and start sitting down on the court and talking to the court.

Garnett is old and often jumps up from the bench to "help" young people.

The two of them were talking like crosstalk, one by one, and sometimes they would quarrel as they were talking.

At the end of the quarrel, Larry Bird, who was watching coldly, was choked back by a word from the side.

After all, their head coach is a stinky master.

Don’t speak easily, and you will be nice as soon as you speak.

In this joyful and peaceful atmosphere, the walkers continue to show their might in the east.

On March 11, the Pacers returned to home again, sweeping the Orlando Magic with a 123:87 and 26 points advantage.

After the transaction, the Pacers' firepower increased significantly.

It was not because of the offense brought by Garnett, but because after Scola and CJ left, the Pacers' rotation was more compact, the game pace was faster, and they made more three-pointers from the outside, making their average scores rise all the way.

With the opponent's non-resistance, the Pacers' scores are rising.

Of course, this doesn't make much sense in the regular season.

Immediately afterwards, the Pacers beat the Bucks at home, the Celtics and the Raptors, achieving 9 consecutive victories!

The Pacers' rapid progress has led to their rankings in the odds of winning the gambling websites.

Now that you buy Pacers and win the championship, you can’t make much money.

To be honest, if Li Liang uses his own money to bet on football, he will buy his team to win the championship. He will buy it before the start of the season, and his assets will probably be twice or three times higher.

Of course, gambling companies not only open the championship, but some also open the market where Li Liang will go next season.

Among them, the lowest probability is not other teams, but Pacers.

In short, as the regular season approached, the Pacers won consecutive victories and their popularity increased, and various public opinions about the Pacers and Li Liang were also hotter.

On March 19, the Pacers' winning streak ended with the "winning streak terminator" Chicago Bulls.

It's still an old problem, and all the staff make a fuss - except Li Liang.

The Pacers, who had 110 minutes up the previous few games, became blacksmith shops again.

The team's three-point shooting percentage is less than 20%, and the two-point shooting percentage is less than 40%, and they only scored 90 points in the game.

This was the result of Li Liang's normal performance and scoring 27 points.

90:107, 17 points away defeat to the Bulls.

This is really confusing to see.

Two days later, the Pacers visited Cleveland again to challenge the Cavaliers.

This game really made Li Liang angry.

Both sides fought extremely fiercely. James and Irving, who had previously rested due to injury, both returned and contributed high-level confrontation.

The Pacers had the advantage from the third quarter and gradually widened the gap. With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Pacers led the Cavaliers by 8 points.

As a result, the referee started performing.

First, he called Li Liang two fouls in a row in defense, allowing Li Liang to get his fifth foul, and he had to leave the court early to rest.

The Cavaliers seized this opportunity to play the Pacers with an 8-0 climax, and tied the score with two minutes left before the end of the game.

Li Liang had to make a comeback, and he was cautious with five fouls, hitting a three-pointer to help the Pacers take the lead again.

But then Li Liang blocked James' layup on defense, but heard the whistle sound again!

This goal was Garnett and Li Liang, who doubled James in front and back. Judging from the slow-motion replay, Li Liang's hand did touch James' wrist, but it only rubbed a little.

The referee still called Li Liang a foul.

This time, Li Liang was sent off.

The extremely dissatisfied Li Liang was fond of the three-character classics at the referee.

Not only Li Liang’s Three Character Classic, Garnett also followed up to theory with the referee.

After a mouth was foul, the referee also gave Garnett a technical foul.

Garnett had already received a technical foul in the first half.

Now, both the bad-mouthed brothers left the field, and only the three fools Yin Cheng were left on the field.

How can I play this game? The spiritual pillar is gone.

Bird couldn't get on the field, so he could get on him in the morning.

Even so, the Pacers still played overtime very tenaciously.

jr-Smith hit a mid-range jump shot at the last moment to tie the score.

In overtime, the Pacers who lacked the backbone would not be able to do it and collapsed all of a sudden.

He was beaten by the Cavaliers 12:4 and lost the game without any suspense.

After the game, Li Liang blatantly criticized the referee in a post-match interview, believing that when the referee called, "they only pay attention to the fairness and justice in their eyes. It is normal for the players to be influenced by emotions, but the referee cannot. I think most referees in the NBA have not done this. Sometimes they are more emotional than the players."

As soon as this statement was made, the NBA office would of course fine Li Liang.

Really bold, and dare to criticize the referee?

Especially you, Bruce Lee, are the least qualified to criticize the referee.

Do you know that the referees are following you more often than not, and you are almost trained as your successor, and you are not satisfied.

If it weren't for the referee tonight, would you be sent off?
