Chapter 686: State gap

Of course, Li Liang is not a genius, but he stupidly thinks that it is a natural gift for him to drop a system in the sky. Isn't the acquired genius bad?
With a huge advantage of 30 points, the Pacers basically won this game, unless there are any unexpected factors that lead to a sudden change in the second half.
Of course, everything in the NBA is possible. If you go through the history of the NBA, you will find that 30 points is not an insurmountable gap.
In 1996, the Utah Jazz had completed a reversal after falling behind by 34 points at halftime, with a maximum of 36 points behind.
In 2009, the Kings against the Bulls, with a maximum score difference of 35 points, also turned the game over again.
Even further, in 1977, the Milwaukee Bucks were 29 points behind the opponents Eagles with more than 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and finally they could use a 35:4 super attack wave. , Will win victory in the bag.
Therefore, even if the lead is 30 points, it does not mean that they have entered the safe.
Li Liang's personality has always been bold and unrestrained on the basis of prudence.
It can be seen from his protection of his body that he is fully armed and in no way careless.
This is the playoffs. If the Pacers can be turned over by the Bulls, the morale of the team is not a bit of a blow.
So before the start of the third quarter, Li Liang reminded every teammate that the third quarter gave me a spirit.
As a result, as soon as the third quarter opened, Li Liang made a three-point shot from the outside and didn't make it...
You're so kind to say that others, you look at your three-pointer today?
Li Liang scored 24 points in the half tonight, but of all the scores, there was only one 3-pointer.
This is really very rare for Li Liang.
Tonight he used the mid-range, breakthrough, and fast-break layups to hit the Bulls.
In the second half, with so many leads, he could make a little three-pointers.
From the first offensive and defensive matchup in the second half, Thibodeau made a new adjustment in defense, which is to use Rose to prevent Li Liang.
Butler's effectiveness against Li Liang in the first half was not good. Although he was hard and strong enough, his speed could not keep up.
I'm so up.
So Thibodeau switched to Ross defense in the second half, hoping that Ross could keep up with Li Liang, so that he would not easily break into the basket and easily launch a fast break.
It can only be said that Thibodeau’s strategy is really a bit of a headache, and you don’t know that Li Liang’s three-pointer is terrible?
It's really terrible.
But think about it, the bull was about to die, and the dead cow was treated as a living cow.
Li Liang's first three points really missed.
On the contrary, Rose stopped the jumper on the attack.
Tonight Ross's state is the best for the Bulls.
But Li Liang has already proven that any team that dares to ignore him outside the three-point line must pay an extremely heavy price.
Although the first goal missed, Li Liang already knew the Bulls' defensive strategy in the second half.
He took off the [Steel Body] decisively to make his muscles more relaxed and more suitable for three-pointers.
Then, the Pacers team began to cover Li Liang.
McGee, Granger, JR-Smith, consecutive screens, followed by down, split, walk to the basket, to the bottom corner.
This tactical coordination is very simple, but very effective.
Because Li Liang's three-pointer is too accurate.
After a pick-and-roll cover, he immediately took the opportunity to take the shot.
Li Liang, who had nibbled [three-point hit rate improvement post], successively hit two ultra-long-range three-pointers, causing the Bulls to come over and wrap up.
After a pack, Li Liang passed the ball inside, and McGee dunked the ball.
Again, Li Liang divided the ball and gave Granger the corner.
Granger faked the defender, drove into the basket, and the bulls shrank again. Granger gave George Hill who inserted the bottom line. Hill caught the ball and layup.
The Bulls' defense is a tight formation, and the rotation is in place. But once there is a point at the beginning that needs to be included, the latter rotation will definitely be a problem-because of this point of Li Liang, the space opened is too large.
The Pacers even played a continuous pass in the third quarter. Finally, the open space attacked the basket with a wonderful cooperation. It can only be said that when the game is smooth, anything good will come.
The Bulls played very tough, they did not give up, and Rose did not give up.
But Ross's good condition came to an end in the middle of the third quarter.
Hill's persistent close harassment of Rose and Thibodeau let Rose play against Li Liang in defense, and finally made his sense of offense completely lost.
I really don’t know what Thibodeau thought. It’s also white blind to use Rose to prevent Li Liang. It’s better to let him play more in the offensive and pray for the miracle.
As a result, the miracle did not happen, but the mischief appeared.
By the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides had already widened to 45 points.
This is really going straight to 58 and the 45-point difference is also the biggest difference in this playoff.
By the end of the third quarter, Byrd had replaced all the main players, let everyone come to rest, and replaced the players at the end of the bench.
Thibodeau finally gave up. He had been sitting on the sidelines and finally sat down, also replaced the water dispenser administrators.
In fact, the key to some big difference games is to see what the junk players do during junk time.
If junk players aren’t so junk, it’s not so ugly to work harder to make yourself die.
If the junk player is really junk, the score will not make you look good.
The biggest playoff difference in NBA history is 58 points.
There have been two times in history, once in the distant 1956, but that time was not the regular playoffs, but the qualifying after the regular season, between the Lakers and the Eagles, the same record To determine the ranking of the playoffs between the teams.
In the future NBA, this kind of game was cancelled with the refinement and improvement of regular season ranking rules.
The Lakers won the Eagles by 58 points.
Needless to say another time, the 2009 Hornets game against the Nuggets.
Chris Paul only scored 4 points and 6 assists, but at the end of the third quarter, the Hornets were only 38 points behind.
Unexpectedly, the bench came out in the fourth quarter, the bench played worse than the main force, and scored two goals in one quarter.
Instead, the Nuggets opened up, and a mess of hammering turned the Hornets into a honeycomb. They made a 58 tragedy in the playoffs.
Li Liang thought, I want to avenge Paul!
Paul wants to know that I really want to thank you. I’m by the Nuggets. You’ve beaten the bull, what kind of revenge?
Moreover, the final point difference is not determined by Li Liangneng, it depends on the performance of the Pacers bench.
To be honest, the Pacers players are still not as wild as the Nuggets' bench gangsters. Like Ludaiji, it is good to play two laps in the playoffs. Why do they play so fiercely.
Rao is so, the advantage of 45 points in the first three quarters is still too big, and the Bulls are really not tonight.
The main force is atrophy, the bench is weaker, and the team's offense is not in a state.
As a result, they lost another 9 points in the fourth quarter, and the whole game was defeated by 54 points to the Pacers!
Compared with 58 points, it is still 4 points less. You can only say some numbers, not what you want to achieve.
But the difference of 54 points is enough to make a name in history.
(In the 2015 playoffs in the real world, the Bulls slaughtered the Bucks with 54 points in the first round.)
At the end of the game, Li Liang scored 35 points in the game, shot as high as 70%, and sent 11 assists.
He used his unmatched performance to prove his strength, proving that the first game was just an accident.
In an interview with reporters after the game, Li Liang humbly said: "I still have a gap between Paul and me."
...
Paul is really lying down and getting shot. You have left Los Angeles, can't you just say two more nonsense?
Just as the Pacers slaughtered the Bulls at home, the other rounds of the semifinals between East and West also went to the second game.
The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Spurs in the first city at home, followed by the Spurs in the second game, and the two sides became a 1:1 draw.
The Clippers exposed a huge problem in the game-without Li Liang ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the other side, the Warriors and Grizzlies also played a 1:1 draw.
The Warriors were counterattacked by the Grizzlies in the second game. They used a hard defense to limit the Warriors' single-point scoring to 90 points.
The power of black and white bears cannot be underestimated, and the Warriors' offense is not unfavorable.
The three-round series was played 1:1, the only difference is James.
The Cavaliers faced the Eagles, and the first two home games were in Atlanta.
As a result, the Cavaliers did not give the Eagles a chance, a 97:89, a 94:82, all overwhelming victory without much suspense.
The Hawks couldn't even get 90 points. Their so-called team attack became extremely difficult in the playoffs.
After all, the playoffs are the stage for superstars.
Without a superstar, the state is completely different.
