Chapter seven hundred and eighteenth respect a little
Jump the ball in the middle circle, and the game began like this.
Just as Li Liang and Wei Dazhi were on June 3rd, "The last championship in three consecutive championships is always the most difficult."
In history, those teams with three consecutive championships are too long like the Celtics, which are not like eight consecutive championships. There are eight teams in a league, and the difficulty of winning consecutive championships is completely different from that of now.
Since basketball entered the "modernization" in the 1980s, there have been several teams on the road to three consecutive championships, and they are all miserable.
In 1989, the Lakers swept all the first three rounds, but they were injured in the finals and swept 0:4 by the Pistons.
In 1991, the Pistons had been defeated by the Chicago Bulls for three years in a row, but they were swept away only three times.
The Rockets in 1996 have allowed you to avoid the supersonics for two consecutive years. You can't avoid it this year and are swept again!
In 2011, Lao Ke went to the second three consecutive championships in his career, but as everyone knows, he was still swept!
These four teams that failed to win three consecutive championships did not escape the fate of being swept. They always have to pay off their fate after they came out.
The only ones who achieved three consecutive championships were the Bulls and the Lakers led by Phil Jackson.
The Bulls in 1993 experienced six championships, and their worst record in the regular season - losing.
The Bulls in 1998 were Jordan's most difficult title and also a crown for the gods. The aging of injuries and quarrels and aging accompanied the whole season.
The Lakers in 2002 almost died at the hands of the Kings in the Western Conference Finals, one of the most controversial series of the 21st century.
So later, Phil Jackson won three consecutive championships until Hyundai, and it was impossible for him to have four consecutive championships.
Li Liang's words against Wei Dazhi, "The last three consecutive championships are the most difficult," undoubtedly make sense.
But if you think about it carefully, can you be the same as the above examples?
It was a team that had been in three years, lost their spirits, aging personnel, and thoroughly studied tactics. It was extremely difficult to win the third championship.
You, Bruce Lee, have been jumping repeatedly, and three teams in three years, and they are "the first time to compete for the championship" every year. Can this tm be the same?
Of course, if you go out, the water you poured out will cause a bad impact before the game started.
It’s not that he laughed at or mocked Li Liang, but that Li Liang is really standing in front of an unprecedented achievement: he won three consecutive championships in person.
While both sides were jumping, commentator Jeff Van Gundy, who was working on the scene, said: "Bruce Lee is now moving towards his personal three-game winning streak. To be honest, when he won two championships in Los Angeles, I thought it was miraculous enough. He went to Indiana and made people feel that he might have to sink or learn some lessons. But Larry Bird made everything possible, and now he is starting to fight for his championship again."
Van Gundy is right. Compared with the Lakers and Clippers' period, the original lineup of the two teams was directly matched by Li Liang, while the Pacers' lineup is really not good, and Li Liang still exchanged Paul George.
Later, the big deal was made, Smith, Shampoo, McGee, signed Granger, and traded Garnett, and then he pieced together this powerful "miscellaneous army".
If the Miscellaneous Army has a strong leader, it can still compete for the championship.
At the beginning of the jump ball, McGee was still able to jump more than Bogut, and he moved the ball to start the first attack from the Pacers.
The Pacers' offense at the beginning was very simple. Hill cooperated with Li Liang at 45 degrees on the left. Li Liang cut outside. Hill immediately returned the ball and gave Li Liang. Li Liang received the ball 45 degrees from the left and made a three-pointer. He hit!
Opening the door three points is a good sign.
To be honest, Li Liang still likes playing in the Oracle Arena.
Every time I come here to play, I will be warmly welcomed by Chinese fans, making him feel like home.
At the same time, the Warriors' American fans have a lot of enthusiasm and anger, and they make Li Liang return with a full load every time. It's so beautiful.
So Li Liang is always relaxed when playing basketball at Oracle.
He hit a three-pointer at the beginning, which means he feels good tonight.
This made Warriors coach Cole on the sidelines frown.
The Warriors' first offense used a baseline empty cut.
Curry passed the ball to Green at high position, and supported him at high position. Thompson ran back from the left corner at the basket. Green accurately passed it. Thompson made a layup, but was disturbed by McGee, and Zheng was in danger.
McGee took the backcourt rebound.
McGee grew up very much in this playoffs and made fewer mistakes. She did a good job of protecting the basket and eating cakes, and became the inside defensive pillar of the Pacers.
Yes, it's really a wonderful blink of Bird's
Otherwise, with Hibert's current mobility and low-level attack power that does not have much effect, the Pacers would not have the current results.
Then, JR Smith held the ball and accelerated the breakthrough from the right side, and forced the basket to kill him. After being double-teamed, the ball was passed to the middle. Li Liang received the ball from a high position and made a three-pointer against Green's defense - another shot!
Li Liang made two three-pointers in a row at the beginning, making the Oracle Arena quietly shot.
The Warriors players were obviously a little tight at the start, after all, they were the first time they played in the finals, so they were not as old as Li Liang.
After three years of entering the league, I have never missed every year. I have brought different teams to the finals every year. I will definitely have no adaptability.
Moreover, Li Liang is not afraid of Green who defends him at all. Although you are known as "West James" (I don't know who claims to him), I have won all the real James, and I am still afraid of your number?
Green defended Li Liang, and suffered a loss in height, wingspan, speed and strength. I really don’t know what Cole thought.
Then, the Warriors attacked and Curry caused Hill to make a defensive foul.
After serving the sideline, Curry played a pick-and-roll with Bogut, the Pacers' defense made a substitution, and McGee came out to defend Curry.
Curry played big, and forced a three-pointer on the right 45 degrees, but he was desperate.
Li Liang protected the backcourt rebound.
When McGee defended, Li Liang's rebounding pressure in the inside was quite high.
Fortunately, Green Barnes is not as tall as him.
Moreover, Li Liang's rebounding posture was so fierce. After getting the ball, he supported his elbow and turned around. You must dare to come over and serve him directly.
This was learned by Li Liang with Billland during the game while doing the task.
Anyway, if you don’t learn the good, you don’t learn the bad ones very quickly.
The Pacers made a quick counterattack, Hill ran straight to the basket with the ball, but his layup was disturbed by Bogut. Zheng was killed.
McGee followed up, grabbed the backcourt rebound, and gave it to Li Liang in the middle. Li Liang had a fake move to pass the ball to Hill who ran to the bottom corner, but it was not a good idea. What did I pass it to Hill? He didn't have three-pointers.
I'll vote by myself!
This ball would definitely be passed if James had changed, but Li Liang felt the right touch, so it was impossible for him to pass it.
You voted as well as I was not sure, so why did I pass it?
As a result, Li Liang turned to the right side, passed the ball with a fake move and shook the defender away, and he made another three-pointer and shot again!
What is this called? This is called winning three yuan in a row.
The Warriors' defense at the basket just now was very beautiful, they retreated very quickly, and they also did a great job of protecting the basket under the basket.
But it seemed that there was no preparation for the defense of Li Liang on the outside.
One of them missed after pick-and-roll, one missed after double-teamed, and one missed after passing the ball, and another missed after passing the ball.
Please, this is the two finals MVP, the founder of the Mobile Dynasty, the individual three consecutive championships, the first in three-point history, the spokesperson for the ultra-long three-pointers, the toyer of James Throne, and Bruce Lee!
Steve Cole, can you respect me? Send two more people to defend me, don’t let this No. 23 James, who can’t see anything but teeth, can you deal with me?
The third three-pointer hit, with a 9:0 start. After scoring the goal, Li Liang shook his head.
Who can't afford to see the Warriors' defense?
Cole immediately called a timeout to re-arrange the defense.
The Warriors did suffer a big loss at the beginning, and Cole seemed to have overall ability to attack the team and was too confident.
