Chapter 721: Forty

Iguodala played earlier than usual, because if he didn't, Li Liang would score 20 points in the first quarter.
Compared with Barnes and Green, Iguodala is superior in defensive experience, physical fitness and other aspects.
In addition, Iguodala is a defensive method on the outside. To deal with Li Liang's attack, he still has to treat him with the attitude of small forward three.
The Warriors served the bottom line, a tactical deception, Thompson found a space on the left, received Green's pass, and directly hit a three-pointer!
The Warriors' tactics are indeed rich and tacit. They thought that to run and pass, everyone's attention was on Curry, who knew that Thompson had been missed.
Li Liang shook his head and shouted, "Every one of your opponents, stare!"
In the Eastern Series, defense is rarely used as a command, and it certainly won't work against the Warriors.
On the offensive end, Iguodala stared at Li Liang one by one. Li Liang received a pass from Hill after covering on the left side. After the fake movement, he stopped and missed a jumper.
Iguodala is very close to the body, and at the same time the defensive coverage is very good, and enough interference was done at the moment Li Liang shot.
This was Li Liang's first goal thrown in the field, but inside McGee shot the rebound and gave it to Hill on the outside.
Hill catches a three-pointer from the front and hits!
This goal is extremely important.
It took more than five minutes in the first quarter, and the Pacers finally made a 3-pointer.
The point difference is maintained at 9 points.
The Pacers relied on Li Liang's performance against the sky and scored 25 points in the first half of the first quarter.
It now appears that the Pacers' other players are slowly recovering, the better they play.
Warriors fans really have to worry about their team's performance.
Then, the Warriors made another mistake in the offense. Green passed the ball to Iguodala and flew directly out of the sideline.
Iguodala's chances of this ball actually flew out well, and there was a big space in the left corner.
However, Li Liang's defensive position selection caused Green's passing line to shift, and the ball speed was too fast, resulting in a mistake.
Li Liang looked up at the time, more than 4 minutes before the end of the first quarter.
He decided to seize the opportunity of the poor state of the Warriors in the first quarter and think of ways to give them another shot.
This is the style of Li Liang's game. Using his own firepower advantage, he pursues his opponents in a poor chase, and gets a sufficient amount of lead in a short period of time.
Of course, many teams and stars will adopt this strategy, such as the Warriors themselves.
It's just that the Warriors rely on the overall offensive and life-threatening three-pointers. Li Liang depends on his personal ability (plug-in) and timing.
And his fierce pursuit is really very, very fierce.
The Warriors made a mistake and the Pacers had the ball.
Li Liang held the ball through the half and Iguodala stayed close.
At this time, McGee came over to pick and roll, Li Liang made a simple change of direction and paused in the high position.
Iguodala is judging whether Li Liang is going to shoot or break, who knows Li Liang has passed the ball!
[Into the soul! 】
The ball spun through Bogut's crotch with rotation and reached McGee's hand with precision.
McGee catches the ball without having to dribble it, one step across to the basket, one-handed slam dunk!
This pass is really accurate and dangerous.
It is accurate because McGee directly attacked the basket without making any adjustments after receiving the ball.
Say it is dangerous, because as long as the deviation is a little, the angle is wrong, Bogut's egg will burst.
Bogut was cold and sweaty, and I didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.
Li Liang's TM started to pass, which really made Cole head big.
The points continue to widen.
Cole stood on the sideline with his mouth closed, thinking that the first quarter was coming to an end.
The first quarter of the first finals was indeed a bit tough.
But the first quarter really didn't end yet, and Green passed the ball in the high post again!
He reversed Curry and Green wanted a pass-through pass to the basket.
As a result, Hill did not follow this time, and he rushed directly to fight Green with Li Liang.
Green was blocked like a volleyball, the pass was blocked.
Hill grabbed the ball and quickly counterattacked it with his own ball.
The points were worse, Cole called a short timeout.
The offensive end made continuous mistakes and was quickly counterattacked by the opponent. The Warriors fell into a vicious circle of impatience, counterattack, more impatience, and counterattack.
Cole had to stop the cycle.
Under the guidance of Li Liang, the Pacers players are obviously more daring to play, regardless of offense and defense are more determined and courageous, the effect is also very obvious.
Cole replaced Thompson with Livingston and Bogut with Azzelli.
Kerr's heart is not small. In this situation, he still insists on the normal personnel rotation to allow the main force to get enough rest.
But the question is, do you really think you can survive this wave?
Li Liang's idea is similar to that of Cole. I can also give your main force enough rest, but the method is not the same.
After the timeout, the Warriors' offense was a bit stagnant. Finally, Iguodala rushed to the inside and scored two points with a back jump shot, breaking the scoring shortage.
Still 11 points.
Then, Li Liang caused another foul on Iguodala on the offensive end. After deceiving Iguodala with a fake shot, he rubbed towards Iguodala and successfully deceived the free throw.
Penalty shooting is really a good thing. Adjusting the rhythm, accumulating energy, killing, and not delaying the score at the same time, is really a must-have artifact at home.
After making two free throws, Iguodala's high difficulty was regarded as a white vote.
For the Warriors, what is worse is still behind.
Kevin Garnett appeared on the Pacers side and replaced McGee.
As soon as he played, he immediately pushed Green's breakthrough on the defensive end.
Green's breakthrough layup was completely unremarkable. If no one gave him space, he rushed under the rim and faced the defender. He could only throw the ball to the rim, and the throw did not touch the rim.
Garnett then turned to receive the rebound and the Pacers quickly counterattacked.
Li Liang held the ball to attract the defense and scored the ball to Granger in the corner.
Granger took the ball to the basket, attracted the bag and then gave JR Smith to the bottom corner of the left side. Smith made a three-pointer to catch the ball.
Hit!
In the first quarter, the Pacers hit the sixth three-pointer.
The Warriors scored a three-pointer, but this is the three-point team warrior, under the Pacers' man-to-man defense, they did not play their three-point advantage.
The difference is 16 points.
No one thought that the Pacers really rubbed the Warriors on the ground in the first quarter of the first game of the Finals.
Curry then dribble the ball in the front, took a three-pointer after the cover and shot directly without a hit.
Li Liang got a rebound in the backcourt, he knew the opportunity was coming.
High double screen, Li Liang passed the ball to JR-Smith, and then he used the cover to go to the right 45 degrees.
Smith gave Garnett the ball high, and Garnett knew what was going on, and immediately gave the ball to Li Liang on the right.
Garnett first made a solid screen for Li Liang, then received the ball and responded immediately, then scored the ball.
Li Liang received the pass, Iguodala was thrown away, Li Liang made a three-point shot...
The ball cut through the air of Oracle Arena like a knife and penetrated the center of the basket!
The fifth three-pointer!
Li Liang hit five three-pointers in the first quarter, and the score of UU reading www.uukanshu.com became a 20-point difference!
The Warriors fans are ignorant, is this still shaving?
Is this still the finals?
Following that, Azeri made a foul on the basket and hit the free throw line. After making two free throws, it was the Pacers' attack. Now that Li Liang takes the ball, everyone is worried.
The Warriors finally started to pack, Iguodala and Green joined together, and the others ignored for the time being!
As a result, the ball passed Li Liang and then took a hand-over screen with JR-Smith. JR-Smith received the ball and drew it one step after dribbling. He made a three-point shot at 45 degrees on the left!
Li Liang has enough confidence for Smith, let him vote.
"Uh!"
The Pacers made the eighth three-pointer in the first quarter.
The audience was bleak, the Pacers scored 40 points a quarter.
