After the third game, Li Liang and his teammates will stay in Chicago for another day.

Winning the third game means a lot, they regained the home court advantage, so they can relax a little bit when preparing for the fourth game.

The Pacers still exposed a lot of problems in the third game, and the intermittent weakness on the offensive end may not be solved.

This is determined by the lineup and player abilities. In a single-core team, the performance of non-star players is not stable enough.

Fortunately, Li Liang was superb this time, otherwise the Pacers were on the road, and the referee's whistle was still so biased, it would be really bad luck.

Compared with the Pacers' difficult victory in Chicago, another round of the Eastern Conference semifinals will be much simpler and easier.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a 2:0 lead in Atlanta, and the home court advantage the Eagles had worked so hard to build in the regular season was like nothing in front of James.

Game 3 came to Cleveland, and the Eagles were on the brink.

This time the Eagles finally played out all their energy and fought the Cavaliers in the away game until overtime.

As a result, in overtime, James took control of the game, scored 7 points and sent 2 assists alone, and settled the Eagles.

3:0, the Cavaliers can send the Eagles back to catch fish in the next game.

James can say one thing, I am already thinking about my opponent in the next round.

Li Liang was not in a hurry to think about his opponent in the next round.

It can be said that it took Li Liang a lot of effort to escape unscathed in the third game at the Chicago United Center.

He can't score 54 points every game, and there are still many restrictions on the use of this prop.

Besides, after playing like this every game, he still has to get tired and get down on the ground.

In the fourth game, it depends on the performance of the teammates.

It is said that the Pacers' offense is unstable, so you missed a game, and the next game should be better, right?

I don't know.

In Game 4, the offense continued to be constipated.

On May 10, the fourth battle between the two sides continued at the United Center.

Compared with the previous game, the two sides played very well at the start, and there was no situation where the score in the first quarter did not exceed 20.

The Pacers led the Bulls by 2 points at 28:26.

The feel of the Bulls' outside offense has improved significantly. For the Pacers, JR-Smith and Granger both contributed in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to fight as usual, and the Bulls played a little louder.

There is not much room for tactical flexibility on both sides. Thibodeau no longer wants to do what he wants, just to pinch Li Liang, desperately pinch, and at the same time, the inside line is frantically grabbing offensive rebounds.

Thibodeau is still betting that it is impossible for Li Liang to score 50 points a game.

The Bulls' defensive strategy in the last game actually worked.

However, the Pacers' strategy has never changed.

In the second quarter, the Pacers led the Bulls by 11 points at halftime at 25:16.

It feels like it's stabilized.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the halftime break, the Pacers' shooting percentage fell off a cliff in the third quarter.

The Bulls insisted on double-teaming Li Liang. Li Liang kept distributing the ball and missed all kinds of outside catches.

At the same time, Li Liang himself also lost his touch. In the third quarter, he made 2 of 8 mid-range shots.

After all, he is not a top mid-range player like Corvo and Jordan, and his stability is greatly lacking.

Relying on their excellent performance in the third quarter, the Bulls managed to close the point difference to only 2 points before the start of the fourth quarter.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Bird put Li Liang off the court, and the Bulls relied on a 7-0 climax to successfully overtake the score.

For the Pacers, the situation has reached the most critical moment, but Bird dared to put Li Liang on the bench for no other reason than to allow Li Hao to rest and fight for the last six minutes.

On the field, Danny Granger stood up, shot and took penalties at the critical moment, scored 4 points, and narrowed the point difference to 4 points before Li Liang came on the field.

Li Liang got enough rest, and his touch and attack power recovered.

At this moment when things need to be turned around, Li Liang never disappoints.

He is now defensively stealing Noah and passing a long pass to Stephenson to kill the basket.

Then, McGee interfered with Rose's successful layup, Li Liang got the backcourt rebound, pushed back, and hit a three-pointer with an emergency stop from the outside.

Overtake!

After two rounds, Li Liang turned the situation around.

Thibodeau had to call a timeout.

Reggie Miller couldn't help but admire, "Whenever he needs to stand up, Bruce Lee never disappoints."

Isn't this nonsense, Li Liang's physical strength is back, and his props and skills are just saved for critical moments.

Moreover, although the Pacers' offense is still not smooth tonight, their defense is quite tough, and the Bulls have not been able to expand their advantage.

And the referee's whistle today is still very biased.

For a team like the Bulls that relies heavily on confrontational intensity, the size of the referee's whistle is very important.

Once the referee's whistle is tight, the Bulls will not dare to make moves in defense, and there will be many fouls, which will disrupt the rhythm of the game.

Once the whistle was loosened a bit, the Bulls began to make bold moves, and various small moves in defense emerged in endlessly.

Li Liang's two arms were already covered with scars, which were all knocked out and scratched out when he broke through, got stuck, and helped defend.

But Li Liang didn't care, this little injury was nothing to him.

After the timeout ended, the Bulls returned to the field.

As a result, as soon as he served the ball, Li Liang activated [Death Coil] again, successfully stealing the ball, killing the basket with the ball, and dunking successfully.

With stealing skills twice a game, Li Liang always uses them at the most critical and important moments.

This steal dealt a big blow to the Bulls, and the serving tactics arranged during the timeout were no longer used at all.

And the point difference was stretched to 3 points.

When Butler turned over and missed a low jumper, and Li Liang got the rebound, everyone felt a chill again.

It's over, this guy is going to give everyone another blow.

The Bulls seemed to sense that Li Liang was about to hit him. They simply fouled Li Liang before he even made a three-pointer and sent Li Liang to the free throw line.

Li Liang was also speechless. I used the pick-and-roll to walk in, but before it started, Noah hugged him directly.

It's time for the foul count, comrade, they just watched me go to the free throw line and gave me points?

Li Liang stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Some fans were also relieved that they only scored two points, not three.

The point difference between the two sides came to 5 points at the last moment.

Another desperate 5 points.

Bulls players may not want to play when they see this point difference.

Sure enough, the Bulls missed a three-pointer from outside.

Then, the Pacers didn't score a goal, as if they felt that the five points were very comfortable, and they didn't want to expand it, nor would it make it less, five points was enough.

For nearly two minutes, the 5-point difference remained unchanged.

It doesn't matter to the Pacers. For the Bulls, the time of the game and the hope of survival are getting less and less.

Bird called a timeout in the last minute, and a serve tactic was arranged from the outside.

After Li Liang attracted two people's defense from the outside, he made a long pass across the court to JR-Smith, who was completely empty in the corner on the other side.

Smith caught the ball and hit a three-pointer, killing the game.

Bull, dead suffocated.

The final score of the two sides was 87:82, and the Pacers beat their opponents by 5 points.

The two sides continued to attack constipatedly, but the Bulls were more constipated than the Pacers.

Especially at the critical moment, Li Liang's two steals after his debut reversed the situation.

And when the Bulls needed to chase points, they still couldn't throw the damn ball into the damn basket.

When the final buzzer sounded, the Bulls players felt extremely lonely.

They have tried their best, but there is Li Liang on the opposite side.

Li Liang scored 27 points, 3 steals and 2 blocks in this game despite his low shooting percentage.

The Pacers have a 3:1 lead in the series and have already entered the Eastern Conference Finals with one foot.

A day later, the Cavaliers swept the Atlanta Hawks by 32 points at home 120:88 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Two days later, the Pacers returned to the home court, and the Chicago Bulls, without the home whistle bonus, fell again.

100:73, the Pacers beat the Bulls with 27 points, and 73 points is also the lowest score in a single game in this playoffs.

The Pacers and Cavaliers join forces in the Eastern Conference Finals.

James faced Li Liang in the playoffs for the third consecutive year.
