Since Van Gundy retired in the 2007 season, he has become a full-time commentator, and he is very happy in this position.

Therefore, even if teams continued to re-recruit him as the NBA head coach and promised a high salary, Van Gundy refused them one by one.

After all, the position of NBA head coach is really not made by humans.

Too much work, too much pressure, too little power, and you have to take the blame. As a commentator, Van Gundy can scold Fang Qiu as much as he wants, and comment on Jiangshan.

As the ultimate football master, Van Gundy has a great advantage in judging from the perspective of God.

Therefore, Van Gundy sat very comfortably on the sidelines, and even wanted to pull his brother Stan Van Gundy into the water.

But seeing Li Liang's performance tonight, Van Gundy was shaken for the first time in six years.

A ray of nostalgia slipped through his heart, missing the passionate, competitive and stressful arena.

I miss the stadium where the crowd cheers and there is silence.

Forget the chaotic, anxious, hormonal-smelling locker room.

I miss the ecstasy of victory, and even the pain of failure.

All that is too real, so real that it makes people addicted, intoxicated, and unable to extricate themselves.

Anyone who loves basketball very much wants to participate in this ultimate battle, either to be crowned king, or to be crushed into mud.

No matter how close he is to the court, so close that he can spray players on the sidelines with his hand, so close that he is no different from when he was the head coach in the past, Van Gundy still knows that he belongs to the sidelines.

He can be ecstatic, he can shout, he can be lost, he can be depressed, but these emotions belong to him only.

No one will share with him, no one will bear with him.

That's something only people on the court can enjoy. He has enjoyed it and endured it.

He felt that enough was enough, and he never wanted to go back.

But for that second, he was shaken, and he wanted to go back.

He wanted to meet Bruce Lee for a while.

He wanted to know what method should be used to prevent him from scoring.

When he was in the Knicks, he was obsessed with this work, and the object of his work was the god-Michael Jordan.

Confronting gods can make people as tall as gods, and this is the best way for people to approach gods.

After Jordan retired, he couldn't find that feeling again.

But after Li Liang made that three-pointer, he felt he had touched it again.

"Oh? my gold."

Van Gundy said this, and then fell silent like the rest of the audience.

The commentator beside him was already screaming at the top of his lungs, just like the crowd of fans shouting in front of the TV and the Internet screen, they were excited by such a miraculous lore.

But Van Gundy is different. The experience in his heart is different, completely different.

It is an experience that can only be experienced by those who have experienced fighting in the arena, experienced ups and downs, and experienced the line between heaven and hell.

The feeling of standing in front of the magnificent temple of fate and wanting to kneel down and admire its majesty.

When you feel that way, you can't shout out any sound, only a deep silence can represent his mood.

"How did all this happen?"

After a long silence, Van Gundy said such a sentence.

The last time Van Gundy felt this way was in 2004, when he was still in the Rockets. In the game on December 9, the opponent was also the Spurs.

McGrady single-handedly directed the feat of scoring 13 points in 35 seconds and finally killing the Spurs.

Van Gundy was shocked at that moment, genuinely shocked.

But this time is different from that of Maddie.

McGrady's time came too fast, 35 seconds, and because of the non-stop pause, the process was a bit intermittent.

Li Liang took longer this time, starting from the end of the third quarter and running through the entire fourth quarter, completing a reversal of more than 30 points.

McGrady's was a wonderful short play, full of explosive power, and the moment the ending was revealed, it was amazing.

And Li Liang is leading a movie. After enough deliberation, he completed a big reversal with a three-pointer that made everyone unexpected.

For the audience who are deeply involved in it, you can't even utter a cry of surprise, you can only shake your head silently, thinking like Van Gundy, "How did all this happen?"

While Van Gundy and many fans were thinking about this issue, Popovich had already called a timeout, loudly arranging the final tactics on the bench.

The Spurs still had a chance, and Li Liang made an early shot in order to gain enough room for a shot.

So give the Spurs enough time, they can arrange a tactic, score the last goal, and make Li Liang's miraculous performance come to naught.

However, Popovich felt a little cold when he saw the expressions of the players.

Because he couldn't see the determination to win from the faces of the Spurs players.

Only Duncan and Leonard were expressionless, dignified as always.

The others were somewhat distraught and unbelievable.

Parker crossed his hips, his eyes seemed to be looking into the void, and he must also be thinking about how all this happened.

Why did the 35-point advantage slip through his fingers unknowingly?

They obviously played very well, the offense was smooth, the coordination was seamless, and the defense was tight, and they didn't give the Clippers too many opportunities.

Then, looking up at the score, they were overtaken by one point.

This fatal 1 point.

The Spurs players felt that something was suppressing their hearts, and their fighting spirit could not burst out.

On the other side, on the Clippers bench, Rivers was yelling, telling the players to be sure to complete the last defense.

"Defense, you must concentrate your attention. This is the opportunity Bruce brought us, and it is also an opportunity you have fought for yourself. Victory, victory is in sight!"

Rivers' hoarse voice inspired everyone in the Clippers, except Li Liang.

He still sat silently on the bench, completely unable to hear what Rivers was saying.

Instead of thinking, "We're going to win this game," he was thinking the same question as Van Gundy, "How did this all happen?"

Li Liang had this doubt because at the moment he shot, the feeling he had was exactly the same as when he was wearing the [Trash King] medal!

But I searched all over my body, but I couldn't find the shadow of the medal, it just disappeared.

Is it really gone, or is it hidden somewhere else?

Or, is it on your own body?

Li Liang didn't know.

At this time, the timeout ends and both sides return to the court.

The Spurs' last chance, the fans on the scene clamored again, hoping that the Spurs could complete the anti-lore.

Otherwise, it would be too miserable to be reversed by 35 points at home.

It is too difficult for the Spurs and Spurs fans. Although we are strong, why do all kinds of miracles always happen to us?

But apart from the Spurs fans, fans of various other teams hope that the Clippers can win.

Who doesn't want to see a good reversal?

When Li Liang made that shot, some sports forums had exploded, and the servers were down, making it impossible to log in.

Too many people are posting, too many people are discussing.

Of course, if the Spurs counter the lore again, the server will only collapse even more.

But the Clippers didn't let the hard-won victory slip away.

Although Li Liang played the most important role, in the process of chasing points, every player on the Clippers made a contribution.

Jordan, Crawford, Barnes, Hollins, Collison.

This is a team victory, and Li Liang alone is not enough.

In the last attack of the Spurs, the tactics did not come out.

In the end, the ball was still in Duncan's hands. Duncan chose to hold the ball head-on, and then made a throw in the middle.

His shot was interfered by Jordan Jr., knocked on the front of the basket and missed.

Li Liang stuck the Spurs player, Barnes struggled to grab the backcourt rebound!

The Spurs players could only foul and send Barnes to the free throw line.

Barnes' free throws were not particularly stable, but at critical moments he withstood the pressure and made two free throws.

It also left the Spurs with 1.2 seconds.

Popovich called a timeout again, but at this time the Spurs' chances of winning were very small.

They can only choose three-pointers.

The Clippers are trying their best to defend against three-pointers and do not give the Spurs a chance to make three-pointers.

In the end, as Danny Green missed a three-pointer from the outside, the game ended.

The score was fixed at 123:120, and the Clippers completed a shocking reversal with a maximum of 35 points behind.

Li Liang scored 42 points and single-handedly dominated the Clippers' reversal.

This will undoubtedly be a classic in this season and even in the history of the NBA regular season.

"You know, after watching this game, I even kind of want to go back to the NBA as a coach!" Van Gundy said to his partner after the game.

Of course, his utterance proves that it is impossible for him to go back to be a coach, he is just watching a joke.

But at a certain moment, he really thought about it because of Li Liang.

After the game, players from both sides hugged each other.

Li Liang and Duncan shook hands and hugged each other. Duncan wanted to say something to Li Liang, but Li Liang stepped forward and said, "Tim, the future is mine."

Duncan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, nodded and said, "You're right."

The second watch is at six o'clock.
