Chapter 710: Desperate task

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 51:57. At the end of the second quarter, Li Liang assisted JR Smith to make a three-pointer with a buzzer. This ball gave the Pacers a 6-point lead at halftime.
This goal eased the psychological pressure of the Pacers players.
But a 6-point lead is really not insurance at all.
At halftime, Li Liang was ready to fight the Cavaliers tonight with the Cavaliers.
In the fourth game, he had to win anyway, so he didn't want to go back to the home court to fight the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
For Li Liang, it would be too early to end early.
The referee's punishment was fairly fair tonight, but Garnett was sent off at the last minute of the second quarter, which had a considerable impact on the entire Pacers rotation.
In the locker room, Garnett roared and encouraged every player on the team to tear the Cleveland in the second half.
As he did in 2010, "Let them despair, make them despair!"
Garnett and the Celtics once left James desperate, which directly led to James making the most important decision in his career.
This time, the desperate task came to Li Liang's shoulders.
The intermission ended quickly, the two sides returned to the field, and the third quarter began.
The knight took the lead in attacking.
Because Garnett was sent off, David West replaced him after starting the second half.
It should be said that the Pacers are still very thick in the fourth position. Without Garnett, West can go up.
In the first goal of the second half, James held the ball on the left and faced Li Liang in the basket. After a forcible breakthrough, he overturned Li Liang with an elbow.
The referee blew the whistle and punished James' offensive foul.
Li Liang nodded, and his teammates pulled him off the ground. It seemed that the referee had not lost his conscience. He also knew that James had played an offensive foul and did not give Lao Tzu a defensive foul.
If Li Liang had a defensive foul this time, he would not be able to play in the second half.
At the same time, Byrd set a clearer offensive requirement during the intermission-attacking Kyrie Irving.
Isn't your knight hiding Owen? I just won't hide it for you.
Bird does not believe that Paul George has three heads and six arms and can defend several people on the outside.
Irving changed defense to George Hill, Hill passed the ball to JR Smith, Smith took the ball to force Irving, after the scoring of the basket caused Thompson's foul.
The biggest weakness of the Cavaliers on the defensive end is Owen. What's even more terrible is that the Pacers have the ability to hold the ball at every point except the center position. Is it possible for Owen to defend McGee?
Like a knight playing an eagle, Owen can also go with Korver. The Pacers are now sure you can't do it alone, just to eat you.
JR-Smith stood on the free throw line and made two free throws, 51:59, extending the lead.
But immediately, James passed the ball on the offensive end to Inzie Mozgov and the layup caused West's foul.
In the Pacers, McGee and West came together to assist the defense. West immediately raised his hand to lead the foul after the referee blew the whistle, for fear that the referee would blow the foul on McGee.
Now the Pacers have to protect McGee. He has fouled three times. If he gets fouled again in the third quarter, he will go down and rest.
When he rested, Li Liang had to push to the center position again.
Therefore, now the knights and walkers each have a weakness.
The Cavaliers are Owen's defensive colander and the Pacers are McGee in a foul crisis.
So, the game of hide and seek began on both sides.
The Cavaliers are trying to hide Owen on the weak side, and at the same time strengthen the interference to the Pacers' transfer ball. The pick-and-roll is not easy to change defense. Insider Mozgov and Thompson spare no effort to defend and supplement Owen.
For the Pacers, West and Li Liang assisted McGee in the defense inside and helped lead the foul when needed.
Li Liang made two offensive fouls for the Cavaliers in the third quarter, one for James and one for Mozgov, fully demonstrating his acting in the basket.
But looking at the scores of both sides, the Cavaliers are slowly approaching.
Li Liang missed three three-pointers in the third quarter. George, James and James Jones started a wheel battle against Li Liang and began to use physical confrontation to consume Li Liang. He even fouled Li Liang. The opportunity to easily shoot a three-pointer.
The battle became more intense, and the game reached the middle of the third quarter, and James took a rest.
At this time, it was Delavidovar who replaced James. He just replaced Garnett in the first half and came in the second half with a mission. Blatter let him defend Li Liang.
How could he prevent Li Liang if he put on normal defense one-on-one.
He dealt with Li Liang by using an abnormal method-Mad Dog Entanglement.
As soon as he came up, Li Liang hadn't got the ball yet, he began to pester Li Liang, his hands clasped Li Liang's torso like a crab, and his body moved up like a Teddy.
To be honest, Li Liang really wanted to kick him off the sideline if he was not afraid of being fouled.
However, in that way, the opponent's arms are centered. Li Liang can't be chaotic, he can only scold.
As soon as the hair dryer turned on, there was a beep at Delavidova, starting with the history of Australian exile criminals, crazy Ruao.
De La Vidova came up originally to stimulate Li Liang, disturbing him with a mad dog-style defense.
Who knew Li Liang really scolded people... Delavedova was scolded for two rounds and finally couldn't help it, and began to push Li Liang on his elbows.
Of course, Li Liang will not fight back. Continue to Ruao. After all, Li Liang is a famous university student. He has rich historical knowledge and excellent allusions. He used the seven tricks of Delavedova's scolding.
The Pacers were about to attack, and as a result, the two shot up near the center line. De La Vidova looked like "I'm going to jump and hit your knee."
The referee sounded the whistle again in time and separated the two, fearing they would bite.
As a result, the three referees gathered together to discuss for a while, and gave Li Liang and Delaware a technical foul.
Li Liang is speechless and gives a technical foul?
Garnett was fined in the first half. Della did nothing.
In the second half, he played 50 more boards each, and he was a big point guard.
Of course, the good news is that because Della also had a technical foul in the first half, he was directly fined.
And Li Liang had a technical foul on his back, and he had more than a quarter of competition time, but he had to be careful.
Li Liang went to the referee Moore to make an explanation. Moore just appeased Li Liang. "Play well and put your energy into the game."
Li Liang really wanted to chew on the referee, and Lao Tzu also wanted to play well. Do you think the Cavaliers' defense is trying to play well?
However, this is the case in the playoffs. In many cases, it is not the game itself that determines the final result of the game, but something outside the game, or that these things are part of the game itself.
De La Vidova’s mission has been completed. In the two minutes of James’s rest, he successfully dragged Li Liang and let Li Liang lose a technical foul. Then in the applause and cheers of the fans, Leaving the court from the player aisle, returning to the locker room to rest, and retired.
At this opportunity, the Pacers called a timeout.
The score on the court was 61:65, and the Pacers still led by four points.
Bird is a little worried now, because the Pacers, including Li Liang, have begun to experience some inattention.
Not only because of the away game, but also because of some non-basketball factors that interfere with the players' mentality.
In an away game, the mental state is very important. Once the mentality is disturbed, the game will be difficult to play.
Bird called a pause in due course, but the pause seemed to have no effect.
As soon as the timeout was over, the Pacers served a sideline and were intercepted by James.
Hill could not catch up with James and could only foul. The sideline tactics arranged during the suspension were completely ruined.
Immediately afterwards, Li Liang played another defensive foul by the referee while defending James's catch~EbookFREE.me~ The team's third foul was also Li Liang's third foul.
If you foul again, you will get a free throw.
At this time, Li Liang did not dare to scold the referee casually, and then scold the referee for a T. He would go back to rest and the game would be explained.
It is too stifling.
James continued to ask for the ball in the low post, he knew Li Liang did not dare to force, so he desperately pushed back, and then turned back to the bottom line, layup with both hands!
At this time, McGee came from the wing, and a big hat with a nail board covered the ball!
However, before McGee had landed, the referee sounded a whistle, indicating that it was a disturbing ball.
McGee jumped straight, how could this be a jamming ball?
However, according to the slow motion playback, James did hit the rebound first, and McGee then capped the ball.
63:65, the difference between the two sides is only 2 points.
