The advantage of 0 points is not big, but it is not small.

For the Cavaliers, one thing that was very injured was that they had played very well in the first half.

Although the offensive end scores are relatively small, this is their strategy. The round compression is relatively strong and does not give the Pacers a chance to hit the ball.

On the defensive end, the Cavaliers' strategy was also well executed. Granger, JR-Smith and others can only be said to be in a proper manner.

But when I looked up at the game, I was 0 points behind...

Why can't I curb Li Liang's point?

This guy unknowingly scored another 0 points in the first half.

If you want to say how gorgeous he played, there wasn't it. After the game, I guess it would be a few three-pointers to watch again. (NBA's post-match highlights are about to become a three-point collection.)

But when I looked at the statistics, I always felt that this guy got a lot of points without knowing it, and his hit rate was quite high.

This high efficiency has led to Li Liang's role in winning and losing.

In the second half, the Cavaliers must find a way to defend Li Liang.

During the halftime break, Blatt frowned in the locker room and discussed tactical strategies for the second half with the coaching staff.

Blatt tried to encourage the players, but the effect was not very obvious. He was not a chicken soup, speech-oriented coach.

He shouted, but the effect was not as good as James.

But James just sat on the bench and drank water, and there was nothing to say.

This is the first game, and James feels that it is not time to say something to encourage everyone.

Moreover, the atmosphere within the Cavaliers is still very united and motivated, closely surrounding the throne with James' homogeneity as the core, and striving to achieve the goal of becoming the first championship in Cleveland history.

In order to achieve this goal, the biggest contradiction faced by James and the Cavaliers is Bruce Lee who puts the throne in his hand and his axis of evil.

If you still can't beat Li Liang's team this time, then James is likely to face a problem. His team will be in the early stage of not winning the championship for a long time.

Of course, the game will have to be played one after another, and James will not give up in the first half.

Just recalling that this guy's left-hand breakthrough in the first half was really unexpected.

Could it be that he has developed his left hand so quickly?

Or is it just a coincidence.

But if it is a coincidence, why does he have to use his left hand when he is free throwing?

And it was fined.

This is not like a coincidence, but a demonstration.

James took a breath and took another big sip of water to calm his mind.

The second quarter is about to begin soon.

...

In another locker room on the court, the atmosphere was completely different.

Li Liang looked very happy and brags to the whole team how coquettish his left hand is.

Everyone didn't believe it, saying that Li Liang was just luck and just threw one in.

Of course, Li Liang had various quarrels with them, but he was still very calm and did not say, "I scored all with my left hand in the second half."

He can do it, but this is indeed too exaggerated and is easily used to target by his opponents.

As a secret weapon, it still needs to be hidden.

So just talk and make a fool of yourself.

Byrd stood up and said justice, "I believe in Bruce, I believe he can do it because I have done it too."

Li Liang looked at Bird, are you praising me or yourself? Are you talking about justice?

The fifteen minutes of the Pacers' intermission went through so easily and happily.

There is no anxiety, but no complacency.

With Bruce Lee Jae, the feeling of being down-to-earth and progress.

This may be the characteristic of players born in socialist countries, with a positive energy aura.

After the halftime break, both sides returned to the stadium and the third quarter was about to begin.

Relaxation is relaxing off the court, and whining is still the same as whining. Li Liang still has his own plans for what to fight in the second half.

Just like in the first half, the same thing is true when facing James's team, and you will beat him up early and don't delay until the last moment of the fourth quarter.

It is really hard to say who will die at the last moment.

Because the Cavaliers' advantage of the three points on the outside is really not in vain.

As soon as the third quarter started, George Hill swung away Irving in the middle and made a fake pass, giving McGee at the basket, and succeeded in the alley relay.

Li Liang thought, just this defensive arrangement, Blatt would do nothing during the halftime break.

In the whole first half, the Pacers performed the best, except Li Liang, and Hill was the only one left.

Hill, who played badly in the last round, played a show of style against Irving in this round.

All kinds of ball-holding passes are basically passed in one step, and then the teammates behind come to help Irving wipe his butt.

Once this happens, the Pacers' attack will have room and room.

If the other Cavaliers hadn't had a good defense, the score difference in the first half would have been more than 0 points.

Later in the second quarter, Blatt had chosen to let George switch to Hill, but for some reason, Irving was asked to defend Hill at the beginning of the third quarter, but Hill immediately seized the opportunity to assist.

Then, the Pacers showed their strong resilience on the defensive end.

James missed a mid-range jump shot from the right, Mozgov dropped the rebound, and George from the outside got the ball, which was completely empty.

A three-pointer with a large open space, but George failed to make a three-pointer.

The ball hit the basket's neck and popped up far away, but it was the Cavaliers' ball.

As a result, the Pacers forced the Knights to attack violations for one second.

Two frontcourt rebounds, three attacks were given to you, and you still couldn't score a goal. It's really a chance for you to be useless.

Immediately at the basket, Li Liang received a pass from JR Smith and pushed James away, which resulted in James' blocking foul.

This is also Li Liang's stellar goal. After the pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, he pulled open the Cavaliers' defense line very well.

James also wanted to make Li Liang an offensive foul, but the referee took good care of the Pacers at the beginning of the third quarter.

Both free throws were made, and the score difference was widened to the point, and the situation was a bit bad for the Cavaliers.

James seemed a little impatient in the offense at this time. He received the pass from Irving from the left three-point line and made a three-pointer, but he slipped out of the basket.

McGee protected the backcourt rebound and did not let the Cavaliers grab the ball inside.

McGee immediately handed the ball to Li Liang. Li Liang accelerated with the ball and drove all the way through the half. The total cut straight to the basket from the middle and made a layup again to make a foul.

The person who committed the foul this time was Tristan Thompson.

Li Liang continued to go to the free throw line.

This makes people a little confused.

Li Liang used to take the opponent away with a string of three-pointers at the beginning of the second half.

Today is good, Harden possessed himself, and he wanted to give the Cavaliers a beard to see with a string of free throws.

The Cavaliers coach was a little anxious. Li Liang made two free throws again, and one of them started in the third quarter: 0, and the gap widened to the point.

Do you want to call a pause?

Without calling a timeout, James pressed his hand to the sidelines.

Blatt hovered around the boundary line with his chest, while Tyron Lu shouted at the sidelines with his throat, keeping everyone focused.

The camera gives people the feeling that Tyron Lu is more like a Cavaliers coach, while Blatt is like a technician.

James no longer shoots, so he still has to show off his unique skills at this time.

After accelerating, he forced a strong kill at the basket, made a layup, and caused McGee to foul.

James' breakthrough impact is still huge, and it is impossible for Li Liang to completely defend himself.

In this game, Li Liang basically interfered with James' shooting. If I broke through, it would be a little bit easier.

This defensive method is indeed different from the usual "selling and not making any breakthroughs".

But Li Liang's ideas are always unique.

He felt that he could not maintain James' touch.

James' shooting this year is actually not bad, and he shot through the whole game once the touch feels.

As for his breakthrough, Li Liang felt that if he maintained a big enough advantage, James' breakthrough might not necessarily cause waves in the final period.

Besides, I used too much to break through before, and the speed will decline at critical moments.
