Chapter 686 Realm Gap
Of course, Li Liang is not a genius, but he shamelessly thought that a system fell from the sky to him was born with me. Is it not good to be a genius after all?
With a huge advantage of 0 points, the Pacers basically won this game unless there are any unexpected factors in the second half that lead to a sudden change.
Of course, everything is possible in NBA. If you look through NBA history, you will find that 0 points are not an insurmountable gap.
In 2019, the Utah Jazz had fallen behind in half and finished the reversal with the most points behind.
There is still 200 years of Kings vs. Bulls, and the biggest difference in points also makes the game come back.
Even a little further away, the Milwaukee Bucks were about to end in the fourth quarter with more than minutes left, and they were behind the opponent Hawks. In the end, they could also use a super attack wave to win the victory.
Therefore, even if you lead by 0 points, it does not mean you have entered the safe.
Li Liang's personality has always been bold and unrestrained on the basis of caution.
It can be seen from his protection of his body that he is fully armed and never careless.
This is the playoffs. If the Pacers can be turned over by the Bulls in this game, it will be a little blow to the morale of the whole team.
So before the third quarter starts, Li Liang reminds every teammate to cheer me up in the third quarter.
As a result, at the beginning of the third quarter, Li Liang made a three-pointer from the outside but failed to make a shot...
You are so embarrassed to talk about others, look at your three-pointer today?
Li Liang scored points in the first half of the night, but there was only one three-pointer in all the scores.
This is really rare for Li Liang.
He will use more mid-range, breakthrough, and fast break layups tonight to hit the Bulls.
In the second half, he had a lot of lead and he could just swing a little three-pointer.
From the first offensive and defensive matchup in the second half, it can be seen that Thibodeau made a new adjustment in defense, which is to use Rose to defend Li Liang.
Butler's defense against Li Liang was not good in the first half. Although he was hard and strong enough, his speed could not keep up.
It's really a ghost.
So Thibodeau switched to Ross' defense in the second half, hoping that Ross could keep up with Li Liang and not let him break into the basket easily and launch a fast break easily.
I can only say that Thibodeau's strategy is really a headache to treat the head and feet. Don't you know that Li Liang's three-pointer is so accurate?
It's really deadly.
But thinking about it, the bull is about to die, and the dead bull will be a living bull doctor.
Li Liang really missed his first three-pointer.
Instead, Ross made a quick stop and jump shot in the offense.
Rose's form is the best one for the Bulls tonight.
But Li Liang has long proved that any team that dares to ignore him outside the three-point line will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price.
Although the first goal was not hit, Li Liang already knew the defensive strategy the Bulls would adopt in the second half.
He decisively took off the [Man of Steel] to relax his muscles and be more suitable for three-pointers.
Then, the Pacers' team began to provide cover for Li Liang.
McGee, Granger, JR-Smith, followed with continuous cover, took off, walked to the basket, and walked to the bottom corner.
This tactic is very simple but very effective.
Because Li Liang's three-pointer was too accurate.
After a pick-and-roll cover, take action immediately whenever you have the chance.
Li Liang, who had a [Three-point Hit Rate Improvement Post], scored two extremely long-distance three-pointers, which forced the Bulls to come and double-team.
With a pair of players, Li Liang made a pass from the inside, and McGee received the ball and dunked it.
After double-teaming, Li Liang passed the ball again and gave it to Granger in the bottom corner.
Granger made a fake move to throw away the defender and broke into the basket. The Bulls shrank again. Granger sent George Hill to the bottom line, and Hill caught the ball and made a layup.
The Bulls' defense is considered to have a tight formation and the rotation is in place. However, once there is a point at the beginning that needs to be double-teamed, there will definitely be problems with the rotation behind the rotation - because the space for Li Liang's point is too large.
The Pacers actually made continuous passes in the third quarter, and finally attacked the basket with a beautiful cooperation. It can only be said that when the game is smooth, all good things will come.
The Bulls fought very hard, they did not give up, and Rose did not give up.
However, Ross' good condition ended in the middle of the third quarter.
Hill's persistent harassement against Ross, and Thibodeau's move to Ross against Li Liang in defense finally made him feel completely lost in the offense.
I really don’t know what Thibodeau thought. Even though he knew that using Ross to prevent Li Liang was in vain. It would be better to let him perform more in the offense and pray for a miracle to happen.
As a result, a miracle did not happen, but a bad record was about to happen.
At the end of the third quarter, the gap between the two sides had already widened to the point.
This is really a straight trip, and the difference in points is also the biggest difference in this playoffs.
By the end of the third quarter, Bird had replaced all the main players, let everyone get down to rest, and replaced the players at the end of the bench.
Thibodeau finally gave up. He had been standing on the sidelines and finally sat down and replaced the water dispenser managers.
In fact, the key to some games with big score difference depends on the performance of the garbage players in garbage time.
If the garbage players are not that garbage, then the backward side will work hard to make themselves die less ugly.
If the trash players are really garbage, the score will probably not make you look good.
The biggest difference in the playoffs in NBA history is points.
There have been two events in history, one in a distant year, but that time was not a regular playoffs, but a qualifying match after the regular season, which was played between the Lakers and the Hawks, and the playoff ranks were determined between teams with the same record.
This kind of event will be cancelled in the future NBA with the refinement and improvement of regular season ranking rules.
The Lakers beat the Hawks at that time.
Needless to say, the Hornets vs. Nuggets in 2000.
Chris Paul only scored points and assists in the whole game, but at the end of the three quarters, the Hornets were actually just behind.
Unexpectedly, when I came on as a substitute in the fourth quarter, I played worse than the main player, and scored two goals in one quarter.
The Nuggets opened the game instead, and a raid was made into a hornet's nest, causing a tragedy in the playoffs.
Li Liang thought to myself, I want to avenge Paul!
Paul must know that I really want to thank you. Damn, I was the Nuggets. What kind of revenge do you beat the bull?
Moreover, the final score difference is not something that Li Liang can decide, it depends on the Pacers' substitute performance.
To be honest, the Pacers are not as wild as the bench bandits of the Nuggets. Like Lu Dairi, it would be nice to be able to walk two laps in the playoffs, so why are you playing so fiercely?
Even so, the advantage of the first three quarters is still too big, and the Bulls really can't do it tonight.
The main force is impotence, and the substitute is even more in awe, and the entire team's offense is not in shape.
As a result, they lost again in the fourth quarter, and the whole game was defeated by the Pacers!
Compared with points, there are still fewer points. I can only say that some numbers are not something you can achieve just by wanting to.
However, the difference in points is enough to be famous in history.
(The real world 0th playoffs was when the Bulls slaughtered the Bucks in the first round.)
At the end of the game, Li Liang scored points in the whole game, shooting percentage as high as 70%, and also gave an assist.
He proved his strength with his unparalleled performance and proved that the first game was just an accident.
When interviewing with reporters after the game, Li Liang said modestly, "Paul and I still have a gap in our realm."
...
Paul was really shot while lying down. You have left Los Angeles, so can’t you say a few nonsense?
Just as the Pacers slaughtered the Bulls at home, the second match between the eastern and western semi-finals also took place.
The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Spurs first at home, and then the Spurs won the game back in the second game, and the two sides became a draw.
The Clippers exposed a huge problem during the game - without Li Liang.
On the other hand, the Warriors and the Grizzlies also formed a draw.
The Warriors were counterattacked by the Grizzlies in the second game, and they used their hard defense to curb the Warriors' single-game score to 0 points.
The power of the black and white bears cannot be underestimated, and the Warriors' offense is not invincible.
All three rounds of the series were played: The only difference is James.
The Cavaliers face the Hawks, with their first two home games in Atlanta.
As a result, the Cavaliers did not give the Hawks a slight chance, one game: one game: all of which were overwhelming victory without much suspense.
The Hawks couldn't even get 0 points, and their so-called team offense became extremely difficult in the playoffs.
After all, the playoffs are the stage for superstars.
Without superstars, the realm is completely different.
