Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

James' avoidance of fighting against Li Liang allowed the Pacers to further widen the win gap with the Cavaliers.

The energized Pacers then started their winning streak in March.

On March 2, they swept the poor 76ers by 30 points at 100:70 at home.

To be honest, there is such a chronic disease in the NBA without a relegation system, that is, at the end of the season, once a team is determined to play badly, it will cause many games to completely lose their focus.

It is said that there are no weak teams in the NBA, but if one side makes it clear that they don't want to win, then the game is really unwatchable.

The 76ers are like this. After the All-Star Game, the whole team has no intention of playing. They just play casually. If you lose less, you win.

Then after the Pacers finished beating the 76ers, the Knicks came next.

If you want to say that the Knicks are bad, they really are not. They are really bad.

Last season, the Knicks were second in the Eastern Conference. This season has fallen apart and is heading for the lottery.

Facing the Pacers with a neat lineup and high morale, how could the Knicks be an opponent.

108:82, another big victory.

It is said that they are running in before the All-Star game, and start sprinting after the All-Star game.

As a result, after the Pacers reached the All-Star Game, the number of games won by a big score increased.

After the game, Li Liang sighed silently, the game in the Eastern Conference was very good.

If this is in the West, it is estimated that there will not be so many relatively easy games.

After all, the Western Conference teams will fight for a playoff spot.

Often 7th to 11th place has the qualifications and opportunities to enter the playoffs, so every game is very difficult to play.

The east is different, the competition is not fierce, there are a few that are bad all the year round, and some that are not warm all the year round.

Overall, the schedule is much easier, and the performance of the Cavaliers this year is unstable. Although the Eagles are strong, they cannot pose a real threat to the Pacers. The Raptors were very strong at the beginning of the season, but in the middle and late part of the season, they began to lose the chain, with one wave after another. Whether they can get 50 wins by the end of the regular season is a question.

Therefore, the entire month of March became a training session for the Pacers.

Bird finally faced up to Li Liang's suggestion that the Pacers should indeed strive for 60 wins.

Bird himself did not expect that the Pacers would have a chance to hit 60 wins this season.

In fact, the Pacers were very likely to win 60 games last season, but they suffered a bloodbath after the trade.

Now Li Liang uses his powerful integration (swearing) ability to make the Pacers quickly experience turmoil and become a team again.

On March 7 and March 8, the Pacers played back-to-back home and away games, killing the Bulls at 101:85, and then defeated the Knicks again.

After playing the Knicks, with the Eagles losing, the Pacers topped the Eastern Conference!

Li Liang's scoring in these games has dropped slightly.

Because the fight was too easy, they all won by ten or twenty points.

Sometimes three quarters clock in and there is not much playing time to perform.

Li Liang put more energy on sitting on the bench and Garnett's bad mouth.

The two really meet each other in chess, they meet good talents, they meet confidants in wine, and they share similar tastes.

The joy of smelly mouth is really unimaginable.

Anyway, when it came to garbage time, the two of them would not be idle, and began to sit off the court and spray trash talk on the court.

As soon as Garnett is getting old, he often jumps off the bench to "cheer and encourage" the young people.

The two of them are talking about cross talk, you say something to each other, sometimes they will quarrel while talking.

At the end of the quarrel, Larry Bird, who was watching coldly by the side, choked back a word.

After all, their head coach is a master of bad mouth.

If you don't talk easily, you will look good when you talk.

In this happy and peaceful atmosphere, the Pacers continue to dominate the East.

On March 11, the Pacers returned home again, sweeping the Orlando Magic with a 26-point advantage at 123:87.

After the trade, the Pacers' firepower improved significantly.

It's not because of the offense brought by Garnett, but after Scola and CJ left, the Pacers' rotation was more compact, the pace of the game was faster, and they shot more three-pointers from the outside, which made their scoring average go all the way. up.

Coupled with the opponent's non-resistance, the Pacers' score is whizzing up.

Of course, that doesn't make much sense in the regular season.

Immediately afterwards, the Pacers defeated the Bucks, Celtics and Raptors at home and achieved 9 consecutive victories!

The Pacers' triumph has made them rank higher in the odds of winning on gambling websites.

Buying the Pacers to win the championship now doesn't make much money.

To be honest, if Li Liang used his own money to gamble, he would buy his team to win the championship. If he bought it before the start of the season, his assets would at least double or triple.

Of course, gambling companies not only open the championship, but some also open where will Li Liang go next season.

Among them, the one with the lowest probability is not other teams, but the Pacers.

In short, as the regular season draws to a close, the Pacers have won consecutive victories, and their popularity is soaring. Various public opinions about the Pacers and Li Liang have also been heated up.

On March 19, the Pacers' winning streak was ended by the "strike terminator" Chicago Bulls.

It's still an old problem, and everyone works hard—except Li Liang.

The Pacers, who scored 110 points in the previous few games, turned into a blacksmith shop again.

The team made less than 20% of their three-pointers and less than 40% of their two-pointers, scoring only 90 points.

This is the result of Li Liang's normal performance and scoring 27 points.

90:107, 17 points away to the Bulls.

This up and down is really confusing.

Two days later, the Pacers visited Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers.

This game really made Li Liang angry.

The two sides played extremely fiercely. James and Irving, who had been rested due to injuries, both returned, and the two sides dedicated a high-level confrontation.

The Pacers began to take advantage of the third quarter and gradually opened up the point difference. With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Pacers led the Cavaliers by 8 points.

As a result, the referee began to perform at this time.

First, he called Li Liang two fouls in a row in the defense, so that Li Liang received his fifth personal foul and had to leave the game early to rest.

The Cavaliers seized the opportunity to beat the Pacers to an 8-0 spurt, tying the score with two minutes to go.

Li Liang had to re-enter the game, with five fouls on his back, and he hit a three-pointer to help the Pacers regain the lead.

But then Li Liang blocked James' layup in defense, but heard the whistle again!

The ball was double-teamed by Garnett and Li Liang one after the other. Judging from the slow-motion replay, Li Liang's hand did touch James' wrist, but only slightly.

The referee still called Li Liang a foul.

This is over, Li Liang was sent off.

Li Liang, who was extremely dissatisfied, gave the three-character scripture to the referee, needless to say.

Not only Li Liang's Three Character Classic, Garnett also followed up and argued with the referee.

After a foul mouth, the referee also gave Garnett a technical foul.

And Garnett had already received a technical foul in the first half.

Now it's all right, the bad-mouthed brothers both left the field, and only the three idiots of Yincheng remained on the field.

How to play this game? The spiritual pillar is gone.

Bird can't play off the court, and he can play in the morning.

Even so, the Pacers still played very tenaciously into overtime.

JR-Smith hit a mid-range jumper at the last moment to tie the game.

When it came to overtime, the Pacers, without the backbone, couldn't do it, and they collapsed all of a sudden.

Was beaten by the Cavaliers 12:4, and lost the game without any suspense.

After the game, Li Liang openly criticized the referees in the post-match interview, thinking that when the referee whistled, "They only pay attention to the fairness and justice in their eyes. It is normal for players to be influenced by emotions, but referees can't. I think the NBA Some referees don't do that, sometimes they are more emotional than the players."

As soon as this remark came out, the NBA office would of course fine Li Liang.

Really bold, dare to criticize the referee?

Especially you, Bruce Lee, are the least qualified to criticize referees.

Do you know how much the referees are looking towards you, they are almost training you as their successor, you are not satisfied yet.

If it weren't for the referee tonight being Crawford, would you have been sent off?

Soon, Zhu Shu helped to pay all the fines. Needless to say, he will be fined when he goes home.
