Li Liang's operation was as fierce as a tiger, and when he saw the score, he really opened up.

This stormy three-point attack, even if the opponent knows it, cannot really stop it.

What's more, James was injured and sat off the court. The Cavaliers were headless. How could they compete with the Pacers?

Blatt had no choice in the end, so he called a pause and made adjustments.

He asked about James' ankle, and James took off the ice pack, got up and moved, feeling nothing serious.

James' physical fitness is also amazing. He has basically not suffered any major injuries in so many years since he entered the league.

He has a good protection for his body, and his playing style is not a health-preserving style, but is very fierce.

Many people say that James's playing style is not good until he is 30 years old. Now he is 31 years old, and his performance on the court proves that he is still very good.

"No problem, let me play." James felt that his ankle was not seriously injured. It should not be a structural injury, but just a sprain.

James is back on the stage, and the Cavaliers still have hope.

But how great is this hope?

Li Liang used his performance to prove that this hope is becoming infinitely small.

After the timeout, Li Liang returned to the field, put on the [Man of Steel] again, and took out a golden shield.

After a fierce attack, Li Liang had to rely on defense to dispel the Cavaliers' idea of ​​turning the tables.

The Cavaliers' first offense was suspended and James attacked with the ball from the right wing.

As a result, the position was not stuck at all - because Li Liang used [Hyinthorne's big smoke bong] to push James away and poked the ball down.

The Pacers' counterattack, jr-Smith received the ball 45 degrees from the right and made a quick three-pointer.

At this time, Smith is still very good at spreading salt on people's wounds.

The difference is already heading towards 20 points.

The gap in strength between the two sides is actually not that big.

But under the current NBA game rhythm, if you don’t pay attention to a period of time, the situation will suddenly change, and the opponent will bomb a series of three-pointers, and the score difference will move towards a huge gap.

In comparison, in the early years, the game with defense as its main tone would be more anxious when it was close to its strength.

Especially at that time, the proportion of three-pointers was not that large.

Of course, the game scene will be a little bit ugly.

Li Liang caught James's ankle sprain and he was resting. The situation turned sharply against the Cavaliers.

It can be said that Li Liang calculated every point very accurately.

This year's best coach in the league was given to Steve Cole, but Li Liang knew that I was the real best coach and the master of field control!

Of course, Li Liang wants not only a victory in this game, but also a psychological effect on James: you really can't beat me.

No matter how hard James' will is as hard as steel, he can't stand the sledgehammer's hammers.

There are many people in the league who were crippled by James and could never win, and now the nemesis has finally appeared.

In the second half of the third quarter, Li Liang joined hands with the Pacers to build a steel-like defense.

I can't score without scoring, and you don't want to score.

Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers can be said to be struggling desperately, but it is useless. The score difference is indeed too far behind.

By the time we entered the fourth quarter, the gap between the two sides had reached 22 points. It was basically impossible to recover the time of the quarter.

James was also helpless. He had already done his best in the third quarter, dragging his ankle with some pain on the court.

However, he fell behind one step and was passive. He had a chance to catch up with it step by step in the third quarter, but he didn't expect that Li Liang would seize the opportunity to widen the score gap.

Li Liang is indeed an opportunist. The most amazing thing about him is that he can not only smell the opportunity on the court, but also seize this opportunity.

James believes that he has been in the league for ten years and has become more and more experienced in controlling the stadium. Facing other opponents, especially opponents with poor overall strength, he is really playing around with them.

You can see from the number of sweeps in the first round of the playoffs that your strength is quite different, and you can basically not steal a single game, and you are charged with it.

And Li Liang is really unable to control him. He can't control him at all, so it's too difficult to control him...

Judging from the strength experience, James feels that Li Liang is not as good as Durant and Anthony, but his way of playing and intelligence, as well as his ability to seize opportunities (check-out) are really desperate.

I feel that playing basketball with him will always be plotted and will never be able to turn over.

After the fourth quarter game began, the Pacers' second team came on the stage.

Li Liang played the same as the last round of the Bulls. He played the third quarter and continued to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

This is also Bird's unique way of using Li Liang.

The first half will give you time to rest, and the second half will be strong. When the finale is over, please stay on the court.

After all, we don’t have the three giants, you are the only stabilizing needle.

As long as Li Liang is on the field, the Cavaliers can basically not make any big waves.

James tried to commit a foul and tried to beat Li Liang.

But Li Liang would rather let him go than make a foul easily, and then he would find him back on the offensive end.

[God's Left Hand] This prop was taken out by Li Liang when needed and used it, and it was unexpectedly attacked by James.

When the fourth quarter was more than halfway through and the score difference between the two sides was still 20 points, the Cavaliers finally gave up.

Because James started limping a little on the court, his ankles might be a little unbearable.

Although it has not been damaged by structural damage, it has been sprained after all. I have been using my ankle at such a high intensity. If there is nothing wrong with it, the series will be completely over.

So, after weighing the trade-offs, Blatt called a timeout and replaced James.

James was still a little excited on the bench.

He was still worried about Blatt not listening to himself in the middle of the third quarter and not asking for a pause.

There was some small dispute between the two on the court, and finally Tyron Lu came out to mediate, and the two did not continue to argue.

The game is not over yet. The star and the head coach have arguing, which has caused considerable damage to the team's morale.

Look, he never quarrels with the head coach in which team Li Liang is in.

The head coach listened to him.

Blatt is just too disobedient. If you don’t obey, why are you the head coach?

After the timeout, James did not return to the court. In the end, he went straight from the player passage and returned to the locker room with his head hanging down.

In this game, he scored 28 points, sent 7 assists, scored 7 rebounds, and had only 2 turnovers.

It should be said to be a very stable and reliable performance.

Unfortunately, Li Liang's performance was even better.

The fourth quarter has not been finished and has scored 39 points.

There was still 1 point away from 40 points. Bird asked Li Liang if he could still play.

Li Liang asked: "If I don't fight, would you say I'm like you again?"

Bird shook his head, "I can get four pairs but don't want to hit, but you don't want to hit 40 points. There's a big difference."

OK, you are awesome, I can't beat you, I won't beat you anymore.

When Li Liang saw James coming back to the locker room, he also yelled to go back to the locker room.

Mike Brown quickly dissuaded him and said that the game was not over and he would be fined if he went back to the locker room.

In the end, Li Liang ended the fourth quarter, and the Pacers finally defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers at home with a 15-point advantage.

The Eastern Conference Finals won the first game and took the lead with a big score of 1:0.
Chapter completed!
