Chapter 739 There is good news
After playing the fourth game, Li Liang became the only player in NBA history to score 50 points twice in a final.
After scoring 50 points in the first game, Li Liang was already the only player in NBA history who scored 50 in the finals twice, and now this number has been raised to 3 times.
His incredible hot touch during the game not only made the Warriors doubt their lives, but also made the commentators, the audience and the media doubt their lives. Did the basketball for more than ten years be in vain?
However, although the media's reaction afterwards was very big, it was still bigger than the 60 points in 2013.
Many records, when they are not broken or no one reaches it, everyone will go to myths it, saying, "How amazing it is, there will never be a second."
And once someone does it, and does it more than once, it will gradually become "emmm...it seems to be just like that."
Looking at the records in NBA history, what season triple-double, 100 points in a single game, and 72 wins in the regular season, it feels like a fantasy.
However, since someone can do it before, there is no reason why people who later will not be able to do it.
Once done, legends and legends will become dull, which may be one of the natures of human beings.
Yes, I saw the people around me doing it, so what is this legend? What is the legend?
Of course, in another twenty years, thirty years, fifty years, maybe you can brag about the New Year, "I think of xxx..."
For Li Liang, it was really a pleasure to win and get another record. Unfortunately, the system did not respond and did not say anything about giving me an achievement reward.
This made Li Liang a little depressed. He took such a lot of effort and got nothing?
People are so greedy. You have won the finals point, setting a new finals record, and paying tribute to your former teammates. Are you not satisfied?
On several major TV stations such as ESPN, the commentators and guests were discussing Li Liang's scoring ability, which was incredible.
Charles Barkley said, "I bet that Bruce Lee only used 50% of his ability in the regular season, up to 60%. If he wanted to, I think he could average 50 points per game in the regular season, breaking Chamberlain's record was no problem. Moreover, his performance in the playoffs is better than Chamberlain!"
Marshal Zhang was buried in peace, otherwise he would have to argue with Barkley.
In addition to Barkley, some other retired celebrities also expressed their opinions, but when they were talking, it was obviously different from usual, that was, there was a little bit of a cold scene on the scene.
As everyone was chatting, they suddenly stopped talking. The host had to come out to smooth things over, and the scene was a little awkward.
To be honest, these guys are always making witty comments on weekdays, just like talking about rap, they are very lively and talk and laugh, and their ability to make jokes is even first-class.
But this time it was different, everyone was shocked.
Kenny Smith talked about this incident in an interview and said, "Everyone was a little confused at that time. After I expressed my opinion, I was thinking, 'Is this tm real?' There was a similar situation in 2013, but everyone was very excited, very happy and very lively at that time. This time it was different. We had a little doubt about life. In addition to Charles, he also felt that he was the most awesome, and he always felt that he had always felt that way."
Not only were the media people, but of course the Warriors coaching staff and players. Before this game, they were very energetic and confident to win the equalizer, and returned to Auckland to play Tianwang Mountain with a 2:2 draw. At that time, the situation in the series was completely different.
But this heavy rain made everyone feel cold.
It is said that the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room after the game was extremely solemn, and no one spoke for a long time.
This was not the case when we lost the first two games. Although everyone was sad, they would still encourage and comfort each other.
And the feeling after this game is, "No more, no more champions."
Of course, there are three games left in the game. No team in NBA history can turn the tables when they are behind 1:3, but the record is always set. As long as the series is not over, everything will still have hope.
Steve Cole hurriedly ended the post-match press conference. He was in good shape at the meeting, and maybe he was thinking about it.
During the game, the scene of him being cast by Li Liang on the collapsed squatting on the ground was repeatedly played on TV and online.
This will also become a classic picture in NBA history, the head coach who was beaten and collapsed.
The Warriors returned to Oakland with despair, and the Indiana people were already preparing for their first championship in history.
The Indianpolis city government has begun a motion to select a date for the championship parade and start preparing on paper.
Public opinion, various groups and organizations are ready to start building momentum for Indiana's first championship, and some contributors are ready to win the championship article.
In the NBA, O'Brien Cup was transported to Oakland. If the Pacers win again in the next game, Xiao Hua will present Li Liang with a trophy again.
In the fifth game, Li Liang certainly hopes to resolve the battle quickly.
Li Liang doesn't care whether he wins the championship at home or away.
Compared with the Warriors, the Pacers are ultimately inferior to their overall strength.
Moreover, Li Liang's key props have been used and can no longer be used.
If the medal of this [Garbage King] cannot be lit up, it will not be that easy to win.
On June 14th, the fifth game started at the Oracle Arena.
The Warriors regrouped and did not give up hope of winning the series.
Curry, who had been performing poorly before, finally played the style of the regular season MVP in this game.
In the first quarter, he hit 4 three-pointers and led the Warriors to a 9-point lead.
As expected, the Pacers fell into offensive crisis again - they could not score goals from the outside.
Li Liang was faced with the most tight defense, but to be honest, no matter how strict he is, it is just like that.
Li Liang can still score if he should score, but he can't score 50 points like the previous game. Indeed, he doesn't have such a state in every game.
What really determines the outcome of the game actually depends on the performance of other Pacers players.
Smith, Granger, and Hill failed to hit the outside world, causing the Pacers to always lag behind.
In the whole first half, except for Li Liang, the Pacers did not even hit three-pointers.
They were 11 points behind in the half.
At the end of the first half, Li Liang was so angry that he scolded his teammates in the locker room, "Even if I put four pigs there, he could even put the ball in!"
The situation did not change in the second half. The Warriors found the feeling of the game and became more and more courageous as they fought.
Once the Warriors take the lead, it will be difficult for the Pacers to recover, and the Warriors' offense is indeed too smooth.
Li Liang was alone and could not hold back his medal tonight. His lucky hand had been used, so he dared not roll the dice again.
If the face is thrown to a black six, the game will be completely explained.
Until the fourth quarter, the Pacers suddenly found their feelings on the outside, and Finson and Solomon Hill led a climax of the attack, hitting the Warriors 11:2, narrowing the gap to only 2 points at one point.
Suspense arose, Cole immediately called a timeout, and then Curry made another three-pointer, Thompson also made a counterattack, and returned the Pacers 7:0, and the game gradually lost the suspense.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Pacers by 105:94 and 11 points at home, allowing the finals to continue.
To be honest, Xiao Hua was so moved that he was about to cry. The Pacers played all the way, and the series ended within five games. He didn’t consider the ratings and attendance rate?
Auckland fans rekindled their hopes. If the Warriors win in Game 6, then the finals will enter the tiebreak and return to Oakland, they will still have hope of winning the championship.
The Pacers missed a chance to win the championship. After the game, Li Liang drove the hair dryer and scolded the whole team. After the scolding, he told everyone, "I have good news to tell everyone."
Everyone was scolded by Li Liang so much that they couldn't breathe. The hair dryer was really powerful. Suddenly he said there was good news, what good news can there be?
