[Garbage King] Li Liang has obtained this item for a long time, but it has not been of much use.

The main purpose is to use it to brush up data, because in the Lakers and Clippers, his teammates were very strong and often put the game into garbage time, so Li Liang had a lot of "exercise" opportunities.

And against the Spurs tonight, Li Liang's team is facing such a predicament for the first time.

Trailing by 30 points at halftime, after the start of the third quarter, the Spurs showed no mercy and continued to beat the Clippers to death.

However, the Clippers slowed down and slowly launched a counterattack under the leadership of Li Liang, biting the score without further widening the point difference.

Well, there is no expansion, and it will continue to be maintained at 30 points.

In fact, the Spurs don't need to be so brutal, and they can take it easy in the third quarter.

But Popovich is obviously not very relieved of Li Liang, the person with 60 points in the finals must not be taken lightly.

Other Spurs players think the same way. The scene of the lore after being rebounded last season is still vivid.

Therefore, the Spurs did not relax at all, playing normally, playing against the Clippers.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference had reached 35 points.

At this time, Rivers saw that the situation was wrong, and shook his head to give up.

He called a long timeout, ready to replace all the main players.

"We have tried our best tonight, but winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. We have to take the failure of this game as a lesson. We played terribly. We didn't show the courage to win. All this is worth our reflection !"

Rivers said one set of one set, of course, but also to encourage players.

After all, losing is so ugly, everyone feels bad.

I didn't expect the Spurs to strike so hard.

Rivers replaced the main force, he looked at Li Liang, does this guy want to play?

Rivers didn't know. It stands to reason that garbage time should be used to refresh data, but some time ago he said no.

So in the end is to use it or not?

Rivers was confused. As a head coach, for the first time in his life, he didn't know whether he should replace another player.

Li Liang answered his doubts, "Let me stay on the court, I will finish this game, don't worry I won't get injured."

Rivers nodded, if he wanted to go up and fight, go up and fight, let him do it.

So Li Liang stayed on the court.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 63:97, and the Clippers had fallen behind by as much as 34 points.

There are 2 minutes and 58 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

In addition to Li Liang, the Clippers players also include Antawn Jamison, Hollins, Darren Collison, and Willie Green.

Except for Li Liang, there is almost no lineup with independent offensive firepower. Jamison and Collison are one.

Willie Green did it piecemeal, and Hollins... he succeeded if he could eat a pie in his mouth.

As for the Spurs, Popovich was hesitant to keep Leonard on the court when he saw that Li Liang was still on the court.

Thinking about it carefully, Popovich knows that Bruce Lee is a shameless person who always likes to score points during garbage time.

His habit is about to affect his reputation in the MVP selection.

Because the selection reporters would think that there is water in Li Liang's data.

A lot of his points came when there was no suspense in the game.

It's like some players, obviously the game is over, they're about to lose, they couldn't make a shot before, and they waited for the opponent to relax and stop defending before they started to swing by themselves.

As a result, as soon as the game was over, of course it was a loss.

But looking at the stats of this player, it seems to be pretty good, with a score of 20.

It seems that he is not to blame for the loss. It must be that some players with poor shooting percentage hit too much iron, which led to the loss.

People who don't watch the game but only watch the data will have such an impression flow.

However, the current impression of Li Liang is reversed, and he feels that he has scored a lot.

That's right, he is brushing, so what's wrong with me!

I score points, but I also win!

After consideration, Popovich believed that Li Liang was routinely scoring points, so he decided to let Leonard rest.

Really, a wise man is bound to make mistakes. Popovich is not a god. His command this time is already very good.

The Spurs replaced Mills, Bonner, Baynes and other substitute players.

In fact, the Spurs' bench is not necessarily better than the Clippers' bench in terms of strength.

But the Spurs' player culture is very good. Whether it is a substitute or a main force, there is absolutely no problem with their attitude and spirit after the game.

It won't exist, I feel like I'm a substitute, if I can't beat you, I won't play well.

This is also a manifestation of the Spurs' combat effectiveness.

But all of this is fake in front of 【Junk King】.

"Wearing the [Garbage King] medal, it is judged that it has entered the garbage time, and entered the garbage king mode. I wish you a happy game."

A line of subtitles appeared in front of Li Liang's eyes, and he knew that it was time for his king to come.

The garbage king mode is actually very strange, he does not improve your various ability values.

Therefore, Li Liang still can't do the technical moves that Li Liang should not know.

But the problem is that even if you are not proficient in a certain technical action, the king mode will let you get the ball into the basket.

It is equivalent to that the game is no longer a game, but has become a training.

For a professional player like Li Liang, all kinds of technical moves can be played out in training.

As soon as he put on the medal, Li Liang felt his whole body became lighter.

That tense feeling is gone.

I don't seem to be interested in knowing the score.

He just wants to play and focus on the game itself, regardless of the point difference.

With 2 minutes and 58 seconds left, the Clippers made a foul.

The Spurs' defense was all shrunk inside the three-point line, no one was getting up, no one was pressing.

Everyone is very relaxed, it's like training.

Li Liang received the pass from his teammate and dribbled the ball across half court. Jeff Ailes was defending him.

Li Liang slowly dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, but Ayres just made a defensive appearance and didn't rush forward.

Anyway, it's the last two minutes of the third quarter, with a gap of more than 30 points, just play casually.

Ayres was already thinking about how to attack later in his mind.

The most important thing in garbage time is to score, and there must be data.

Then Li Liang faced Ailes and shot a three-pointer directly.

This three-point shot is very light, just like in training, the shot is very soft, and the arc is also very beautiful.

It's a good shot at first glance.

"Shua!"

The ball goes in.

66:97, this is the second three-pointer he hit in this game.

Before that, he made 1 of 6 three-pointers and made the worst shooting percentage of his career.

Now, he wants to get back what he lost.

Li Liang feels great, but Popovich, as well as the Spurs players and fans have not yet realized the danger is approaching.

The Spurs' substitute player chose to attack the Clippers, and Mills rushed in with the ball.

As a result, the insider was hated by Li Liang!

I, Li Liang, have played as a center forward, don't look down on my basket guard!

Li Liang blocked Mills' layup, then dribbled the ball halfway.

He's not fast, but he has a sense of rhythm, using the screens of Hollins and Jamison to get around the opponent's block.

Then shot again outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Still shooting easily and softly, Li Liang felt no pressure at all.

In fact, if any player can achieve the same performance in the game as in training, then his competitive level and court performance must be very high.

In the stadium of 10,000 people, under the high-intensity confrontation, technical movements and mentality will definitely change.

No matter how big a player's heart is, it is impossible to achieve the same level as in training.

Take free throws as an example. Many insiders with poor free throws can reach more than 80% of their free throws in training.

When it comes to the game and the confrontation, even if there is no one blocking the free throw line, the penalty will still be missed.

As for Li Liang, he is born with the talent of stable touch, and he has only missed two free throws so far.

It's been one season to now, and two have been lost.

Coupled with the medal, the ball flew into the basket as if it was equipped with a guidance radar.

Another three-pointer!

69:97!

The point difference came within 30 points.

And only 40 seconds passed.

Popovich smelled a little uneasy, but he didn't call a timeout.

It's not worth it. The gap of 28 points is not enough.

Subsequently, the Spurs players gave Popovich a reassurance.

Mills assisted Baynes and made a layup under the basket.

Without Jordan, the Clippers couldn't keep the inside line.

The point difference came to 30 points again.

But Li Liang didn't care about the score at all, and he didn't even look at the score difference.

The Clippers are attacking. This time Ailes dare not let Li Liang shoot a three-pointer. If he makes a three-pointer, Popovich will scold him to death.

Li Liang didn't try another three-pointer, but handed the ball to Collison, and he started running in circles.

Collison did not find a chance after a pass, and returned the ball to Li Liang who ran to the middle.

After Li Liang received the ball, he feinted a bit, then stepped a little to the side, moved sideways, and shot from the middle distance of the horn!

It is still a relaxed and soft shot, and the technical movements are done in one go.

This kind of action, Li Liang can only do it during training, when no one is defending.

He can't do it on the field.

As a result, now he can do it, and then the ball is scored.

It's a sideways, one-footed, half-back shot!

Popovich frowned and thought, isn't this Nowitzki?

Thinking of Nowitzki brings back some not-so-good memories.

But Li Liang's offensive skills are much worse than Nowitzki's.

It's just that this guy has a fresh move, and the explosive power of a three-pointer is amazing.

With intercontinental missiles, any conventional weapons are useless.

Just as Popovich was thinking, Li Liang successfully stole the ball from Ayres while defending.

Then a long pass goes to Collison, who is fast down, and Collison makes a layup.

73:99, 26 points.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Popovich feels a bit wrong.

With 1 minute left before the end of the third quarter, Popovich called a short timeout.

He thinks it should be adjusted, but should he be the main force?

Duncan, Parker and others have already put on their sportswear, and Duncan's knees are covered with ice packs.

Be patient, be patient.
