Chapter 839 Winner
After winning the Lakers, the Thunder were considering whether Durant and Westbrook would play in the last game to ensure the team's best record in history.
However, after an internal conversation, the Thunder management and coaching staff gave up this idea.
Li Liang said, "If someone is injured in the last game and we cannot win the championship, then 73 wins will be nothing. Also, I will not be able to support you."
Because of Li Liang's words, to be on the safe side, the coaching staff still implemented the rotation rest plan, allowing Durant and Westbrook to continue to rest.
They both really need some rest.
Durant's ankle and Westbro's knees were injured.
Of course, Li Liang said this, but thought to himself, "Damn it, it's this last game that makes history. If they both go on, how can I turn the tide and how can I add points to my MVP?"
On the road to MVP competition, the competition between Li Liang and Curry is becoming increasingly fierce.
There are several areas of confusion about the selection media.
First of all, in terms of data, Li Liang and Curry are both top-notch, Li Liang is even better, Curry scores higher, and the two are basically at the same level.
The second is the record. Both teams have created an amazing record of 70 wins. Currently, the Thunder have 72 wins and 9 losses, while the Warriors have 71 wins and 10 losses.
The Thunder have hope of creating the best record, while the Warriors can only tie the Bulls.
If Thunder creates the best, Li Liang will have a slight advantage.
If the Thunder were as good as the Warriors, Curry might get more votes.
Another point is Li Liang's substitute status.
The award for Best Sixth Person is a foregone conclusion, and it is definitely Li Liang.
This guy is also fighting for honors that Michael Jordan cannot get.
Although there is no requirement that these two award subsidies cannot be obtained by one player at the same time, many media people still find it strange.
Lianmei's Most Valuable Player is actually a substitute?
This may be a psychological barrier for many people.
In short, the winner and lose in the last game are still very critical.
Thunder won, and Li Liang had super strong performance, so MVP was probably his.
If Thunder loses, this mvp may be attributed to Curry.
So, how can Li Liang not care about it?
To win, you must win beautifully!
It depends on whether the Spurs on the other side cooperates or not.
Overall, in Li Liang's acting career, the Spurs are a very good actor in the rivalry.
They often rely on their strong strength to force out all of Li Liang's energy and complete the counterattack.
The 2014 Western Conference Finals should be the most dangerous series that Li Liang has ever experienced in three seasons.
It is more dangerous than the injury of Lao Ke in the 2013 finals.
Therefore, Li Liang believes that this game will win beautifully.
On April 12, the last game day of the Thunder's regular season.
After this game, the Thunder's regular season of the 2015-2016 season came to an end.
The Spurs locked in the third place in the Western Conference in advance. According to their usual rest strategy, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker did not appear on the team's roster.
However, Wiggins and Booker, two newcomers, made their debut.
It seems that the Spurs are not ready to surrender, and they are trying to save the Thunder to the top of the historical record.
It was still raining in Ox City, with the rain running from No. 11 to No. 12, and the enthusiasm of the fans also continued from the previous game.
Before the competition started tonight, many people brought homemade poster boards with the words "73-9", "The best in history", and "create history".
Outside the stadium is a masterpiece of wind and rain, and inside the stadium is full of heat.
To be honest, generally speaking, the regular season is coming to an end, and the teams with high rankings often play Buddhist games and take large-scale rest, resulting in a decline in attendance and ratings.
This is also a problem in the NBA regular season, and the Thunder solved this problem well because they wanted to break the record.
After the opening ceremony, Li Liang returned to the bench again.
As the game was about to begin, the TV station's camera was very rare, but did not cut to the center circle, but cut to the Thunder's bench and aimed at Li Liang.
This season, this king sitting on the bench is leading the Thunder to a record that is considered impossible.
Sitting next to Li Liang were Durant and Westbrook in suits, both wearing glasses.
Even so, it cannot save Liang Rao's temperament, which is really hard to describe.
Li Liang felt that no matter how good he looked, he could not save the temperament of the Thunder.
Both sides started the game, and because Duncan didn't play, Aldridge reached the center position he didn't like.
Both sides played quite loosely at the beginning, Ade missed a high jump shot, and the Thunder felt that they were waiting for Li Liang to play.
The two sides played until 8:12 at the beginning, and the Spurs led the Thunder by 4 points and entered the official timeout.
When the Spurs did not make an appearance in the old GDP, the pace of the game became more rapid and free.
Wiggins and Booker both have strong personal abilities and are very capable of solving problems, but they are lacking in experience.
The Thunder still has an old problem. If you don’t have the backbone, you will give the ball the ball to Witters or Augustine.
Even let Adams play singles at the low post, what can this play?
Adams' low post can occasionally win two prizes, but it is definitely not enough to have a tactical starting point.
After the official suspension, Li Liang appeared on the stage to replace Collison.
The fans at the scene began to shout "Bruce", and the atmosphere was like the continuous sound of rain outside the hall.
As soon as Li Liang stepped forward, Thunder's attack suddenly came alive.
The team used his screen and support as the core to carry out tactics, and Augustine and Waiters made layups after breakthroughs.
At the same time, the team's defense has also been improved to a higher level, strengthening the inside, shrinking the surface, and making the Spurs shoot from the outside.
The Spurs' outside feel tonight was OK, but as the pace of the game slowed down, their shooting percentage also began to decline.
The Spurs used to be the slowest team in the league and are best at using slower pace and low shooting percentage to drag down their opponents.
Many years have passed, the league has changed, and so have the Spurs.
They are also increasingly relying on speed, relying on the outside and projection hit rate.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides tied at 30:30.
In the second quarter, the Spurs still had the advantage. Li Liang went on a break in the middle of the second quarter for a while, and the Spurs overtook the score with an 8:0, leading by 5 points in the second quarter into the second half.
In the second half, the situation began to change in the third quarter.
The Thunder still insisted on shrinking their defense, resolutely protecting the basket, and maintaining a high defensive intensity.
The Spurs' outside shooting percentage began to drop sharply.
Although gdp is old, its data contribution is getting less and less.
But whether there are these three old guys is really big.
Young people like Wiggins and Booker have a far-reaching understanding and control of the game.
Once the game gradually falls into a disadvantage, I am a little busy and want to use my personal abilities to help the team get out of the predicament.
As a result, continuous ironshots made the team more difficult.
You are different like Li Liang on the other side. When you are at a disadvantage, he will use his plug-in cautiously and boldly to turn the situation around.
Li Liang led the team's rhythm, constantly assisting teammates, shooting at open spaces, and cutting layups.
This is not his performance alone, but the performance of the entire Thunder team.
Li Liang showed everyone what is the difference between him and Durant and Curry, and why he always wins.
Similar to him, No. 21, who was sitting on the Spurs bench, was stupid and had a bit gray hair.
Basketball is a collective sport, and winners always take everyone to win.
By the fourth quarter of the neighboring area, Thunder had already shown its momentum.
The substitutes were in full form, and Robertson and Singler scored continuously.
Although the Spurs still maintained a score difference of less than 10 points, the pace of the game was firmly controlled by Li Liang.
He knew when he should be slow, when he should be fast, when he should attack himself, and when he should commit a foul, he kept everything tightly.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, Li Liang passed the ball at an extremely long distance to Adams who was about to counterattack.
Adams succeeded in dunking!
This is Li Liang's 20th assist in this game.

Li Liang did this game, and the achievement system has not awarded him a prize for a long time.
I wonder what I will send him this time?
