Chapter 726: In vain

The third quarter fell into a state where the Warriors were most entangled and disgusted.
The Warriors' offensive is indeed recovering. Curry made a three-pointer and hit a midrange shot. After a mistake, he assisted Thompson to make a three-pointer.
He also relied on consecutive screens in the offense and hit a 3-pointer.
But when the two sides entered an official timeout in the middle of the third quarter, they looked up to see the score: 89:73, the difference between points was still stable at 16 points!
Whenever the Warriors score a goal, the Pacers, or Li Liang, can definitely respond.
Correspondingly, when the Warriors make mistakes or do not enter, the Pacers will most likely not enter.
This time Cole had a bold idea, in order to contain the Pacers' offense, it is better to contain our own offense first.
Of course, this idea only existed in Cole's brain for less than a second, which is simply suicide.
Li Liang did not hit another three-pointer in the third quarter, which made the Warriors much less defensive pressure.
However, he played a more comprehensive role, passing the ball and assisting his teammates in a very steady attitude.
He contributed 4 assists in the third quarter. Although there were two errors, the Warriors failed to catch the errors to create an offensive shockwave.
Because the Pacers' withdrawal and man-to-man do very well.
The advantage of man-to-man defense is undoubtedly revealed in this game.
It may not be the most capable of containing scoring, not the highest pressure, not the most extreme, but it must be the most resilient.
Graduated from Kentucky, Li Liang, who has studied seriously with coach Grandpa Rupp in the system, performed Vogel's man-to-man defensive command very well. The Pacers' defense has not been caused by the outbreak of a few points. There is loosening.
The Warriors can't form a complete suppression of offense and defense, which leads to sawing on both sides.
A little bit of time is consumed, which is fatal to the Warriors.
Cole knew that at the end of the third quarter, he had to let go.
After the timeout, the Warriors opened a three-point tactic.
What's going on, what's running, all go to hell, throw it in three points!
The inside backboard rushed!
Thompson took the lead from the outside and took a 3-pointer from Curry on the right.
Thompson is the most reliable reliance on the Warriors' 3-pointers tonight.
Subsequently, the Warriors sandwiched Li Liang, who scored the ball to Smith in the middle.
Smith missed a three-pointer shot.
Warrior's chance.
Outside Curry threw another three points and missed.
But inside, Green grabbed an offensive rebound and scored the ball to the outside. Barnes caught the ball and made a 3-pointer!
Finally cast in!
Barnes's first three-pointer!
In two consecutive three-pointers, the efficiency of these three-pointers is different.
There was a burst of cheers at Oracle Arena, and the morale of the Warriors was rising.
Li Liang took the ball, the Warriors did not hesitate, double team!
Cole didn't pretend to force it. What should Iguodala continue to do in the second half? Let Iguodala be an air defense. The space for Li Liang is too big.
Li Liang passed the ball again, this time to Granger.
At this moment, he must trust his teammates.
Granger took a step forward with the ball unattended and hit a mid-range jumper from the left corner.
Li Liang can carry it all by himself, and it is impossible for all the scores of a team to rely on him alone.
Granger and JR Smith in the backcourt are still his most reliable double guards.
But at this moment Li Liang knew that the Warriors' most fierce counterattack was coming.
In the last five minutes of the third quarter, the struggling beast must survive.
Li Liang shouted, let the players concentrate, concentrate, and devote themselves to the defense.
At a certain moment in the finals, the test is not only offensive and defensive, but also willpower.
The difference of 12 points, more than a period of time, is an advantage and pressure for the leading side, and pressure and motivation for the backward side.
Curry wiped in directly after the pick-and-roll in the high position, facing McGee's defense with a high arc throw!
No shots made...But Bogut followed up to make up the basket. Without Li Liang's interference, he still didn't make it.
Green came up and nodded, and McGee waved his big fly swatter under the basket, wishing to cover the entire basket.
But in the end, Iguodala jumped out, grabbed the offensive rebounds, turned around and jumped back with a jump shot, hitting two points.
Really a calm choice, knowing that it may not make up under the basket, simply come out and cast one.
After all, the basket was shrouded by Li Liang's [Russell's three-second zone fear].
The difference is 10 points, this is a line.
The Warriors want to break through this line, and the Pacers desperately want to hold the line to enter the fourth quarter.
Around the 10-point gap, the two sides began a high-intensity confrontation.
The Warriors started to fight the bayonet with the Pacers, but the Pacers had racked up the bayonet from the beginning of the game.
Li Liang was caught again and still passed on to Danny Granger.
Granger hit the ball with a strong back and missed a jumper.
But Li Liang grabbed a offensive rebound and passed the ball to JR Smith outside.
Smith shot a three-pointer and missed it.
The impact of physical decline.
But the Pacers' inside rush is also unyielding.
Li Liang gave the ball to McGee, McGee took the ball and succeeded through a dunk with Bogut's one arm!
Bogut also fouled!
McGee gave full play to the advantages of his long arm, and even thrashed his chest after scoring a goal.
This is really a kind of learning, to pay Garnett copyright fees.
Shi Botian's shock made Bogut tremble.
Five minutes into the first quarter, Bogut moved slowly in defense, and lacked the ability to attack autonomously and the general ability to end attack was exposed.
And McGee is fast and flexible, regardless of the three, seventy-one and twenty-one during the offense, after receiving the pass, the rush is over and the deduction is over.
The penalty was hit and reopened to 13 points.
Cole replaced Bogut and replaced Azeri.
Curry then cleverly attracted the Pacers to defend on offense, a no-look-pass to Barnes who slipped to the bottom line.
Barnes made a layup.
Li Liang immediately caught the ball on the right and faced Barnes in a single shot-the Warriors no longer dared to wrap up.
As a result, after Li Liang broke the ball, the bottom line of the emergency stop jumper hit.
He feels great tonight.
Towards the end of the third quarter, the Pacers have scored 100 points!
101:87, 14 points difference, Li Liang has already hit 38 points efficiently, and the quarter is almost forty.
One hundred points in three quarters is really the first time for the Pacers.
No one thought that this first time actually appeared in the finals.
Li Liang's efficiency is surprisingly high, almost never missed.
It means that he still scores a lot of points without taking up a lot of possession and shots.
Where can this opponent stand up?
If you fight this way again, 50 points is not a problem at all.
Cole realized at this time that if he wanted to prevent Li Liang from scoring 50 points in the finals, the best way might be to surrender.
In the fourth quarter, surrender and enter the garbage time. As long as Li Liang is not so thick and stays on the court to score points, he should not be able to reach 50 points.
However, judging from Li Liang's past deeds, it is really difficult to say.
When the third quarter was coming to an end, Li Liang grabbed another offensive rebound in the attack. The layup also caused Green to foul. He scored another point on the free throw line and scored three points. He scored 41 points in the third quarter. !
The score of the third quarter was fixed at 104:87.
The Warriors fans were dumbfounded, said good chase points, good third quarter broke out, good three punches...
That's right~EbookFREE.me~I really want to punch in, but it's just the opponent punching in.
In the third quarter, the Warriors scored one point less than the Pacers, and the score difference widened!
The frustration of the Warriors players can be imagined. At the end of the third quarter, they sat on the bench and felt that the game was simply impossible to play.
The 10-point line was very close, but it was impossible to break through.
Then the offensive sensation faded, and the Pacers opened the distance again.
The rhythm of the game is completely controlled by Li Liang, and the Warriors are being led by the nose from the player to the coach.
Cole vowed before the start of the finals, determined to "mainly rely on me", "will not change the team's defensive strategy for Bruce Lee."
As a result, it was later discovered that there was no way you could not develop your tactics around this person.
To be honest, Cole is already thinking about what to do in the next game. It must be aimed at Bruce Lee in the first quarter.
