Chapter 669: Exuberant desire to win

The Pacers continued their winning streak and they were in good shape after the All-Star game.
On February 25th, the Pacers challenged the Thunder away, this is their last stop after the All-Star home and away.
The Thunder, like the Warriors, has an inconsistent lineup. The team lacks the core figure Kevin Durant. Durant's injury is not optimistic.
He is likely to miss the rest of the season.
Thunder was swallowing the bitter fruits of Harden.
The playoffs lost, injuries increased, and new strong teams emerged.
In a cruel competitive environment like the NBA, it is a crime to not cherish any opportunity.
Because you don’t know when the next opportunity will come.
However, in this game, the Thunder at home played a very high level under the leadership of Westbrook.
The Pacers suffered from consecutive home and away returns, and the team was in poor condition.
As the team's barometer, JR-Smith scored five 3-pointers in the last game against the Warriors. Today, in the Thunder, the 3-pointer came 6-1.
Of course, if Smith is a barometer, Li Liang is the team's stable gyroscope, showing a steady movement like Wang Ba.
However, this is the case with single-core teams. Sometimes a person really can't move.
There are three iron tusks on this leg, how do you fly?
Li Liang scored 33 points and hit 4 three-pointers. Then the Pacers scored 5 three-pointers...
The unstable 3-pointer is the Pacers' persistent illness this season.
It has something to do with the player's ability and the team's tactical system.
When Bird started to turn the team from attack to defense, the offensive end was easier to start, a drop in three-point shooting is inevitable.
And tonight in the Russian city, the Pacers have not been able to block the impact of Westbrook.
The Thunder fully blossomed and beat the Pacers with an 8-point advantage at 116:108 at home.
But for the Pacers, this defeat is harmless.
Because the Pacers have successfully climbed to the second position in the East, only behind the Atlanta Hawks.
They are only one win away from the Hawks. As long as they work harder behind, the number one position in the East will still be the Pacers.
If the Pacers can get the first in the Eastern Conference, Li Liang entered the league three years after the three-year period, the team's regular season is also the top half of the district.
Really a winner.
...
After ending the home and away journey repeatedly, the Pacers can finally return to Indianapolis and stay for a week.
In the next four games, they will all meet their opponents' challenges at home.
For Li Liang, the NBA regular season is too long.
82 games, stinky and long.
And he not only has to play in real-world games, he has to enter the system to play games in NBA history.
Recently, he is doing some tasks with relatively low personal ability value, a dozen or so novice tasks.
Go to the St. Louis Hawks in the 1960s to play center with Bob Petit.
I'm going to the New York Knicks in the 1970s to learn to throw with Walter Frazer.
With Li Liang's current strength, there is basically no big problem in dealing with these tasks.
But as long as the game is still tired, it will consume energy.
Anyway, Li Liang slowly raised some of the more unpopular skill points, and slightly mentioned it up.
The benefit of mentioning is that Li Liang found himself in an offensive and his physical flexibility would be improved.
Although some skills may not be used in high confrontation, it is good for the coordination of the entire body.
Anyway, it will be improved in the future. Now you have time to practice.
Of course, another important reason is that Indiana's life is really boring.
There are still a lot of entertainment projects in Los Angeles. In addition to eating, drinking, and betting, you can also go to the film opening ceremony, participate in some fashion exhibitions, singer performances, and large playgrounds, beaches, and so on.
In Indianapolis, the biggest entertainment project here is sports.
Li Liang's main role here is to provide entertainment, not consumer entertainment.
In addition to basketball, people in India also crazy like racing.
But Li Liang has little interest in racing, and according to the contract, NBA athletes should stay away from this dangerous sport.
Therefore, Li Liang had to spend a lot of time doing tasks in the system.
But on the day of February 27, Li Liang still took time to take a good day's rest.
Because on the 28th, the Pacers are going to fight the Cavaliers again.
At the end of the season, the Cavaliers are getting better and better. They are currently in third place after the Pacers in the rankings.
Although there are still a few wins between the Pacers and the Pacers, the Pacers have to defend.
They absolutely do not want to be caught up by the Cavaliers in the record.
As a result, the Pacers prepared the game carefully. On the day of the game, the Cavaliers announced that James and Owen would not play due to physical injuries.
Don't fight again?
Although the Cavaliers are back-to-back, they definitely hope that the star will get the opportunity to take a rest.
Especially the opponent or the Pacers, James is a veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years, and Irving has always had more injuries.
So out of prudence, the Cavaliers chose to take two major breaks and let George lead the team alone.
This is good, the Pacers are all fighting.
What Li Liang never mentioned about taking a break is that it is only in the third grade that he takes a break.
Besides, Li Liang has always been cautious, and his body is very well protected. Not to mention major injuries, minor injuries are rare.
Even the Pacers’ team doctors felt that Li Liang’s body was really different from ordinary people. He had never seen an NBA game and was so healthy.
Of course, I have never seen socks so stinky.
Every time I give Li Liang a foot massage and bandages, I feel that I need a full disinfection.
James and Irving were on the sidelines. Li Liang was still in full play.
Since you have shrunk your heads, don't blame me for dying.
Anyway, the Cavaliers still have George.
It was a bitter for George this time. The two didn't play. Let him lead the team and still play in Indiana.
It's really dead.
The Pacers took the lead from the beginning of the game, Li Liang was full of firepower, and did not say that he was merciless.
By the end of the season, it was time to be out of state.
Li Liang wants to adjust his mental and physical competitive state to the best.
And in the regular season, Li Liang and Bird said that he felt the team should hit 60 wins to get all the home advantage in the east.
Byrd was uncomfortable with Li Liang's suggestion. After all, the regular season record is sometimes less important.
But Li Liang's aggressive state is very important to the morale of the team.
Bird understood why Li Liang won the championship for two consecutive years.
Strength, luck and spiritual factors are indispensable.
Li Liang has a strong desire to win and never hides it, which is very similar to Kobe.
In the first half of the game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Li Liang made 6 three-pointers, a man shot the Cavaliers outside into a sieve.
In the second half, Li Liang didn't feel like stopping at all, and continued to shoot wildly outside.
When the Cavaliers felt something was wrong, they could no longer stop Li Liang, who was full of firepower.
In the second half, he scored 8 three-pointers and made 14 of 21 shots, again setting the NBA single-pointer three-pointer record!
This season, Li Liang's performance in all aspects has become more balanced and comprehensive, which has made many people forget that he is the most terrible three-pointer in NBA history.
It felt like there was nothing special about him, but he was able to shoot.
At 127:98, the Pacers swept the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
Li Liang made 14 three-pointers, scoring 55 points and scoring 50 points for the third time this season.
He became more and more stable on the throne of the scoring champion.
