After playing against the Jazz, the Pacers' away trip ushered in the last stop and the most important game - on January 7, they challenged the hottest team of the season, the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors did not have any major operations in the summer. The biggest change was to replace the meritorious coach Mark Jackson with Steve Cole who had no coaching experience. This operation, which is considered a failure, made the Warriors burst into incredible energy in the new season.

Before the start of the game with the Pacers, the Warriors had already achieved an excellent record of 27 wins and 5 losses, firmly occupying the position of Lianbiyi.

In more than 30 games, the Warriors won almost every game, and they could sweep most of the league like a tyrant.

The only difficulty they have to attack the city seems to be Los Angeles. They lost to the Lakers before Christmas, and the Clippers in the Christmas game, and both games were defeated.

Before, Li Liang often hit the Warriors when he was in Los Angeles. After leaving Los Angeles, Los Angeles people can still hit the Warriors.

Except for Los Angeles, other teams can only be beaten by the Warriors.

In the following games, the Warriors won a series of big wins.

Defeat Timberwolves, Man, Defeat Raptors, Defeat Thunder.

Before facing the Pacers, the Warriors won four consecutive games, indicating their good competitive state.

On the evening of January 7, the Oracle Arena was full, and it was another night for Warriors fans to revel.

The Warriors' outstanding condition this year has caused the number of Warriors fans to surge. Oracle, which originally had a good atmosphere on the court, is even more lively.

After all, the Warriors are playing against Bruce Lee tonight, and every conversation between him and Curry will spark a wonderful spark.

This year, Curry has firmly occupied the first place in the MVP rankings with his eye-catching performance. At the same time, his jersey sales and sneakers sales have surpassed Li Liang, becoming Under Armour's top banknote printing machine.

There is no way, fans are always fed up with the old and new.

Although Li Liang can always bring some new things to people, fans also need some adjustments.

This is always the case with the superstar and the fans of the team. They are ecstatic when they rise, thinking about his rapid growth.

Once he sits on the throne and spends a longer time on the throne, the fans are impatient to hope that another person will overthrow him.

Li Liang overthrew James and sat on the throne. Now people hope that the Warriors and Curry will challenge Li Liang and overthrow this wandering dynasty with no fixed place.

The tide rises and falls, and the tides are withered and flourishing every year. This is the rule and the charm of the basketball league.

But Li Liang thought, I am only in the third grade! Curry is older than me! I just as soon as I ascended the throne, and I was looking forward to my downfall?

No, your butt is not hot yet, so you have to sit for a while longer.

Because the opponent is the Warriors, Li Liang made sufficient preparations before this game.

First, I went to the personal training center to practice three-pointers to ensure that I felt excellent and stable.

Go to the redemption center to prepare all kinds of props and consumables, don’t beat them halfway and go to bed.

[Kodinger's dice] Let's let it eat dust first, it's not affordable.

After the opening ceremony, both sides were ready.

For the Warriors, Li Liang was able to leave the West is really good news.

If this guy stays in Los Angeles, it will be a huge threat to the Warriors.

Now that he has gone to the Pacers, he will have a life-and-death battle with James first.

Li Liang stepped forward and hugged Curry to greet each other. The two are both Under Armour's stars and have a good relationship in private.

Li Liang expected that Curry had such strength this season

He knew that Curry had huge energy in his body and finally exploded this year.

As always, Bird has stabilized the team's starting lineup and has determined to let Li Liang reach the fourth position and miraculously restore his state Danny Granger will play in the third position.

Smith is in better and better form in the backcourt, but the occasional brain short circuit will drive Li Liang crazy.

Hill is in good condition after returning from injury, and the Pacers are even more profound as a substitute, and they have the power to fight against the Warriors.

The Warriors' starting lineup was Spetz Drummond Green Barnes Klay Thompson and Curry.

After Steve Cole came to the Warriors, a major change to the roster was to bring Drummond Green to the starter.

This seemingly unintentional change made the Warriors burst out with huge energy on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Green was like a chess move on the chessboard, which instantly revitalized the Warriors.

Of course, Green will face a challenge tonight, because he will face Bruce Lee on both sides of the offense and defense.

Green was bullied and scolded by Li Liang in the first two seasons.

It has been since the 2013 Summer League.

So, when Li Liang hugged Curry and walked across from Green, Green was obviously feeling a little upset.

He didn't dare to look at Li Liang, and turned his face to the side.

Li Liang thought, this guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong will be very powerful, and I will cure you tonight.

Li Liang wasn't trying to be angry with Green or have any grudges.

But at the pre-match preparation meeting, Bird pointed out that Green is a very important point for the Warriors.

If Green can curb her performance, it will definitely have a good effect on the restrictions.

The first time the two sides met this season, both sides would use their opponents as the imaginary burden of the finals.

The encounter is to test ideas and tactics, and prepare for the possible future life and death decisions.

McGee and Speitz stood in the middle circle and jumped the ball.

With the fat Spetsby, McGee's bounced arm span was higher, and he first hit the ball and transferred it to Hill.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers launched a neighboring attack.

Both sides attacked tentatively at the beginning.

Li Liang squatted at the bottom corner at the beginning, and Hill used McGee's cover to penetrate the basket and directly attacked the basket!

Under the interference of Speitz, Hill's layup was useless Zheng

But Li Liang, who came from the wing run, beat Green, grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored a tip-in!

Li Liang used his frontcourt rebounds and tip-in to win the first point of the game.

This is giving Steve Cole a signal - tonight's Li Liang's playing style may be different from what you think.

After the Warriors made a pick-and-roll with Green, Li Liang chased Curry and gave Green a room to take a step.

Green received a pass from Curry and made a three-pointer from the left, but he was in danger.

Green's three-pointers this season can be a weapon, and his three-point shooting percentage has improved significantly.

When the opponent doesn't pay attention to him during the offense, Green's three-pointer will teach you a lesson.

But Li Liang just doesn’t care about him, you have the ability to commit to it!

I don’t know if I was still nervous when facing Li Liang, but Green’s ball was a bit outrageous.

McGee got the backcourt rebound and handed it to Li Liang. Li Liang dribbled through the half-time and faced Green near the three-point line. He suddenly stopped and jumped on the jump shot.

Green immediately rushed up, but Li Liang made a fake move, then ran into Green and made a shooting move.

"Beep!"

The referee blew a whistle and blew Green's defensive foul.

"You're so nervous, why are you nervous?"

Li Liang did not forget to "please" Green. Green had nothing to say, why am I nervous?

Li Liang is no longer "pure" in playing basketball now. He rarely uses fouls like before.

Now that I'm learning bad things, I can stand on the free throw line by just sticking to the opponent. Why not do this?

Li Liang's free throw shooting percentage was higher than that of Lianbi, but the number of free throws was much worse than that of the first person.

Three free throws were all made, and Li Liang scored five points in a row, making a good start.

But the Warriors immediately showed the Pacers why they are strong this season.

Curry took the ball in the backcourt and just crossed the center line to Klay Thompson.

After Thompson received the ball from the left, he ignored the defender and directly received the ball and made a three-pointer.

The whole process was completed in one go. In terms of the speed of taking action, Thompson was faster than Li Liang.

Because Li Liang pursues space, far enough to take action.

And Thompson is fast, just grabs time, and at the same time he is accurate.

As can be seen from the first goal, Thompson is in good condition.

Then Granger attacked with the ball, but the mid-range jump shot was not Zheng

Green took the backcourt rebound and pushed back, Li Liang still had the same method - I pay attention to you, but I don't care about you, his focus is on Curry not far from Green.

After halftime, Green passed the ball to Curry, who was in the wing parallel. Curry paused to catch the ball and wanted to throw away Li Liang who was following him from the outside and directly attacked, but failed.

Li Liang and Hill double-teamed together, and Curry saw that he had no chance to return the ball and gave Green a shot.

The Pacers opened wide in the middle, and Green took the ball and broke the basket directly.
