Chapter 607 finally shot
In the second half of the second quarter, Li Liang entered an unprecedented unparalleled mode.
He scored 27 points in the entire first half, helping the Pacers to gain an 11-point lead in the first half.
The Celtics were shaking under the impact of Li Liang.
If the Pacers hadn't had a bad shooting percentage on the outside, and if a few people made two of the three-pointers combined, the Pacers would have a greater advantage.
During the intermission, Li Liang cursed in the locker room with anger.
"Can you shoot the ball in! Can you! Do you know how tired I am in the inside? Could it be that I want me to grab another frontcourt rebound!"
After the Celtics fought, they had already started to double-team Li Liang.
Li Liang passed the ball several times to the outside line, and there was a big open position and he couldn't make a shot.
The locker room was roared silently by Li Liang.
Even Bird dared not speak.
Why, Li Liang turned on the hair dryer?
This hair dryer is made by Bob Knight. Old Knight scolded Bird at Indiana University and dropped out of school. It would be strange if you dare to say so.
In the end, Mike Brown spoke up to smooth things over. After all, he was scolded a lot and was resistant.
When Li Liang calmed down, he found that after putting on the [Body of Steel], he had stronger strength, but his temper seemed to have increased.
"It's unreasonable. Does this thing have side effects? I'm such a gentle person... I'll stop wearing it in the second half."
Li Liang thought that he could change his playing style in the second half, and it was really tiring to chisel inside.
Wearing the prop [Man of Steel], Li Liang's strength has been enhanced, but his endurance has not changed.
His physical energy consumption is increasing significantly, and his unstable feel just now also caused the free throws.
So Li Liang decided not to wear it in the second half, and even if he played as a center, he would not squeeze into the inside.
In the second half, the Celtics stabilized their position and began to fight back.
But whenever the Celtics approached the score, Li Liang would use his attack to make them return in vain.
In the middle and late sections of the adjacent three quarters, the Pacers once again made a lineup.
This time, Li Liang is no longer polite with the Celtics. Although Boston fans like me very much, I'm sorry, I'm the Pacers.
[Three-point shooting percentage improvement post] Take out, four consecutive three-pointers from the outside, two positional attacks, and directly attacked in two counterattacks, breaking through the Celtics in one fell swoop!
Bruce Lee's "sudden death" method reappears.
Stevens really had no choice. He finally re-formed a plan to deal with Li Liang's inside play in the midfield, but he turned back!
Have you changed back? Why didn’t you have to be hard on the inside? Why didn’t you force yourself to break through the basket?
What about the savage collision? The inside line has set up a trap for you, come on.
Li Liang was not right, so he shot from the outside, using the space he had fully opened, and started firing at a distance of two steps from the three-point line. Stevens' head was bald.
Not only was he bald, but Celtic Rao players were also bald, because the Celtic fans at the scene started to cheer for Li Liang!
Which one are you?
A wave of attack climax allowed the Pacers to expand their lead to more than 15 points.
In fact, in terms of overall strength, the Celtics can compete with the Pacers who are short of soldiers, and even slightly better.
But this is the NBA game. When there is a superstar you can't stop on the opposite side, the game situation may be one-sided.
The Celtics still tried to organize an effective counterattack in the fourth quarter, but the 15-point gap became an insurmountable mountain.
Because whenever the Celtics emerge, Li Liang would come to put out the fire.
Celtic Rao players have no idea how to defend Li Liang.
It's messy, it's all messy.
Defend three-pointers? Defend breakthroughs? Defend inside? Defend passes?
Even Stevens gave up himself, forget it, just do whatever he wants.
Rondo also had some conflicts with Li Liang during the game.
Rondo hopes to rely on this conflict to disturb Li Liang and bring some changes to the situation on the court.
As a result, Li Liang was scolded by the hair dryer, which was like being chased by James and three of them in the fast break, and then he shut up until the game ended.
In the end, the Pacers relied on Li Liang's 42-point performance in a single game and 8-point advantage to take away a victory at TD North Shore Garden Stadium.
Li Liang performed at the dominant level in this game, with extremely high efficiency, making all the targeted tactics of the Celtics invalid.
After playing Li Liang, he felt it was a pity. In other away games, this kind of performance, the anger value was at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
It was better to arrive in Boston, so I collected thirty or fifty, but I still collected it from Rondo.
After the game was over, a group of fans shouted at Li Liang for autographs.
Forget it, sign it and give back to the enthusiastic care of the elders of their hometown.
On the other hand, Stevens was also interviewed after the game, saying, "Bruce Lee's performance tonight was surprising, very, very surprised, or his career so far has been surprising, he only showed this surprise tonight again. We tried various ways to target him, and he was very smart and could always cleverly avoid targeting and use his strength to lead the team to victory. It's great, but we will always find a way."
Stevens's evaluation of Li Liang was quite high, and he had no choice but to be beaten.
In fact, Li Liang just used a prop in the first half and replaced the drying equipment in the second half.
As for finding a solution, Stevens himself didn't believe this.
With Li Liang's current terrifying progressive situation, if you want to curb him, you either join him or let him join.
...
After playing against Celtic Rao, the first week of the NBA's new season ended.
Li Liang won the Best of Week in the East without any suspense.
The Pacers only lost one game in the absence of major generals, and Li Liang's performance was definitely at the MVP level.
Relatively speaking, James and the Cleveland Cavaliers next door did not have a particularly easy life.
The Cavaliers, which have the Big Three in the new season, have only achieved a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.
James' performance on the court is no longer as stable as before. His too light weight seems to have made him lose his powerful ability to crush and confrontate the past, and even his finishing ability at the basket seems to have become worse.
So in the Best Week selection, James is certainly not Li Liang's opponent.
Li Liang has never been very interested in the selection of the best things like Zhou.
My goal is the best in history. I don’t care about the best MVP of the season. What’s the meaning of what’s the best week and the best month?
After playing against the Celtics, the Pacers faced the Washington Wizards at home on November 9th.
It was another very difficult game, and both sides reached overtime all the way.
As a result, in this game, Li Liang wore the [Man of Steel] suit and used too much force and made excessive fouls. With 2 minutes left in the overtime, six fouls left, resulting in the Pacers losing by 1 point.
Afterwards, the Pacers defeated the Jazz and the Heat in a row, but lost to the Nuggets at home.
[Man of Steel] One of the shortcomings of the suits began to be exposed - it would increase Li Liang's foul errors and make the shooting unstable at the same time.
McGinnis was originally the king of mistakes in NBA history. If you wear his power suit, how can there be no problem?
But one big problem for the Pacers is that maybe their inside line can only rely on Li Liang.
After the start of the new season, Hibert began to collapse from his mentality to his state.
Not only did Li Liang's arrival inexplicably squeeze out his playing time, but the changes in rules also prevented him from exerting his power in defensive betting, and the fact that the entire Pacers began to marginalize him from tactical and strategic aspects.
But it’s not the Pacers. You are a big center who often scores 0 points and 1 rebound in a game. Can you be the core?
Hibert's deal has been put on the agenda, and everything is just waiting for the opportunity.
No., Sunday, the Pacers beat the Chicago Bulls at home. Li Liang scored 48 points in a single game, setting a new scoring record after coming to the Pacers. At the same time, Hibert did not enter the starting roster in this game, and Li Liang was directly topped the starting center.
On Monday, Bird finally took action.
If Larry Bird doesn't take action, he will make a big move.
Chapter completed!
