Chapter 693: Desperate five points

After the third game, Li Liang and his teammates will stay in Chicago for another day.
It was significant to win the third game. They regained their home advantage, so that they could relax a little while preparing for the fourth game.
The Pacers still exposed a lot of problems in the third game, and the intermittent weakness on the offensive end could not be solved.
This is determined by the lineup and the player's ability. For a single-core team, the performance of non-star players is not stable enough.
Fortunately, Li Liang's super god, otherwise the Pacers are on the road, the referee's whistle is still so biased, it will really be more fierce.
Relative to the Pacers' difficult victory in Chicago, the other round of the Eastern Conference semi-finals will be much easier.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a 2:0 lead in Atlanta, and the Hawks have worked hard to establish a home court advantage in front of James.
The third game arrived in Cleveland, the eagle has come to the edge of the cliff.
This time the Hawks finally exerted all their energy and went to overtime with the Cavaliers on the road.
As a result, James took control of the game in overtime and scored 7 points and sent 2 assists to complete the Hawks.
3:0, the knight can send the eagle back to catch fish in the next game.
James can say that I am already thinking about my opponent in the next round.
Li Liang hasn't rushed to consider his opponent in the next round.
The third game was able to withdraw from the Chicago United Center. It can be said that it took Li Liang a lot of effort.
He doesn't get 54 points per game, but there are still many restrictions on the use of this item.
Besides, he played so the field, he couldn't get tired.
The fourth game depends on the play of teammates.
It is said that the Pacers' offense is unstable. Then you are one game away. Should the next game be better?
I don’t know.
In the fourth game, the offensive continued to be constipated.
On May 10, the fourth battle between the two sides continued at the United Center.
Compared with the previous game, the two sides played well at the beginning, without scoring less than 20 in the first quarter.
The Pacers lead the Bulls by 2 points at 28:26.
The Bulls' offensive feel has improved significantly. On the Pacers side, JR Smith and Granger both contributed in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the two sides began to play iron as usual, and the bulls played a little louder.
There is not much room for tactical changes on both sides. Thibodeau no longer thinks about what he thinks, that is, pinch Li Liang, regardless of all the pinch, and at the same time crazy inside to fight for the rebound.
Thibodeau is still gambling, that is, Li Liang cannot gamble 50 points.
The Bulls' defensive strategy in the last game actually worked.
The Pacers' strategy has never changed, it should remain the same, and the man-to-man defense persists.
In the second quarter, the Pacers 25:16, halftime, leading the Bulls by 11 points.
It feels stable.
Who knows the end of the halftime break, the Pacers' hit rate in the third quarter showed a cliff-like decline.
The Bulls insisted on a multiplayer win over Li Liang. Li Liang kept scoring the ball and missed the outside.
At the same time, Li Liang himself also lost his hand, in the third quarter, 8 of 2 in the distance.
After all, he is not a top middle distance master like Corvo and Jordan, and his stability is very insufficient.
The Bulls relied on the excellent performance of the third quarter. Before the start of the fourth quarter, they successfully chased the point difference to only 2 points.
After the start of the fourth quarter, Bird put Li Liang off the field, the Bulls relied on a wave of 7:0 climax, successfully overtake the score.
For the Pacers, the situation reached the most critical moment, but Bird was dare to press Li Liang on the bench, and nothing else, just to let Li rest well and fight for the last six minutes.
On the field, Danny Granger stood out, and at the critical moment he even shot with a penalty and scored 4 points. Before Li Liang's appearance, the difference was reduced to 4 points.
Li Liang got enough rest, and his feel and attack power recovered again.
At this moment of need to turn things around, Li Liang never disappoints.
He is now stealing Noah in defense, a long pass to Stephenson to kill the basket.
Then, McGee interfered with Rose's successful layup. Li Liang scored a rebound in the backcourt, pushed back, and made a three-pointer from outside.
Overtake!
In two rounds, Li Liang turned the situation around again.
Thibodeau had to call a timeout.
Reggie Miller couldn't help but sigh, "Bruce Lee never disappoints whenever he needs to stand up."
Isn't that nonsense? Li Liang's physical strength is back. Isn't his props and skills saved for the critical moment?
And the Pacers are still not going to attack tonight, but the defense is very tough, the Bulls have always been unable to expand their advantage.
And the referee's whistle is still very partial today.
For a Bulls team that relies heavily on confrontation strength, the scale of the referee's whistle is very important.
Once the referee tightened his whistle, the Bulls dared not make any moves during the defense and there were many fouls. The rhythm of the game was chaotic.
Once the whistle was loosened, the Bulls began to make bold moves, and various small moves in defense continued.
Li Liang's two arms were already scarred, and they were knocked out and drawn when they broke through, got stuck, and assisted defense.
But Li Liang does not matter, this little injury is nothing to him at all.
After the timeout, the Bulls returned to the field.
As a result, just after serving, Li Liang once again launched [Death Coil], successfully intercepted, and took the ball to kill the basket and dunk.
With two steals per game, Li Liang always uses them in the most critical and important moments.
The steal hit the Bulls really well, and the serve tactics deployed during the timeout were not needed at all.
And the difference was pulled to 3 points.
When Butler missed a low jumper and was rebounded by Li Liang, everyone felt cold again.
Finished, this product will hit everyone again.
The Bulls seemed to feel that Li Liang was about to give a blow. Simply, Li Liang hadn't made a three-pointer yet. First he got a foul and sent Li Liang to the free throw line.
Li Liang was also speechless. I used the pick-and-roll to walk in. It was not started yet, and Noah gave him a hug.
When the fouls are counted, comrades, they watched me on the free throw line and gave me points?
Li Liang stood on the free throw line and made two free throws.
Some fans were relieved and only scored two points, not three.
The difference between the two sides reached 5 points at the last moment.
Another desperate 5 points.
The Bulls may not even want to see this difference.
Sure enough, the Bulls missed a three-pointer from outside.
Then, the Pacers didn't score. It seemed that they thought the five-point score was very comfortable, and they didn't want to expand it.
For almost two minutes, the five-point difference has not changed.
For the Pacers, it doesn't matter. For the Bulls, the time for the game and the chance of survival are a little bit less.
Byrd called a timeout in the last minute and a serving tactic was placed on the perimeter.
After Li Liang's outside attracted two people's defense, a long pass across the court was passed to JR Smith with the bottom corner completely empty on the other side.
Smith hit the ball with a 3-pointer and killed the game.
Bull, suffocating dead.
The final score of the two sides was 87:82, the Pacers defeated the opponent by 5 points.
Both sides continued the constipation attack, but the Bulls were more constipated than the Pacers.
Especially at a critical moment, Li Liang reversed the situation with two steals after his debut.
And when the Bulls need to chase points, they can't throw the ball into the basket~EbookFREE.me~When the buzzer sounded at the end, the Bulls felt extremely lonely.
They have tried their best, but there is Li Liang opposite.
In this game, Li Liang scored 27 points in a low shooting rate, and had 3 steals and 2 blocks.
The Pacers lead the game with a score of 3:1 and have entered the Eastern Conference finals with one foot.
One day later, the Cavaliers swept the Atlanta Hawks at 120:88 at home, with a 32-point advantage and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Two days later, the Pacers returned to the home, and the Chicago Bulls without the home whistle bonus once again collapsed.
At 100:73, the Pacers beat the Bulls by 27 points. 73 points is also the lowest score in a single game of the playoffs.
The Pacers and Cavaliers will decide.
James met Li Liang in the playoffs for the third consecutive year.
