The playing time of Li Liang and James was staggered again.

It seems to be an opportunity for the Pacers, but the problem is that when James is not there, the Cavaliers still have Paul George on the court, which is why Blatter dared to let James adopt a unique rotation rest time.

Having James and George at the same time is a good feeling.

After Li Liang came on the stage, he was indeed closely guarded by George.

George didn't care about Hill anymore, he just stared at Li Liang one-on-one desperately.

There is no such thing as assisting defense or supplementary defense. Li Liang is defended with a sticky candy, and Li Liang is not given any room for three-pointers.

In the Pacers, Li Liang will face such a situation. Without a second offensive point that can destroy the opponent's defense, Li Liang will have to encounter such a defense like brown sugar.

At present, the most offensive ball-holding point is Hill, because Irving's defense is too poor.

As a result, after Hill threw off Irving, he missed a jumper with an emergency stop.

The Cavaliers get backcourt rebounds, James is not there, and the offense is handed over to Irving and George.

Teams with multiple ball-handling offenses come to this moment, and the game becomes easier.

Irving and George played two-on-one on the right. After repeated pick-and-rolls, Irving seized the opportunity to cut to the basket. Granger followed up. Irving threw a high throw to George. George jumped high and caught the ball in the air. Then a rebounding throw was made.

At 83:77, the point difference came to 6 points again.

Li Liang quickly served the ball from the backcourt, and Hill understood it, holding the ball all the way to the basket from the backcourt, breaking through the Cavaliers' defense in one fell swoop, and easily laying up.

James shook his head while watching off the court. This kind of inattention to defensive details will kill the team.

But there is no way, you have to marvel at Irving's unconstrained offensive methods, and you have to bear his huge loopholes on the defensive end.

Sure enough, Owen then picked and rolled George again in the high position. This time Granger did not switch defenses and focused on George. As a result, Irving directly shot a three-pointer from the outside and hit it!

Nice pull-up three.

86:79, the point difference came to 7 points.

Looking back, Hill tried to shoot a three-pointer from the outside - the Cavaliers completely emptied him, and Owen simply didn't guard Hill, and ran to help George defend Li Liang.

This choice seems wrong, but when Hill misses a three-pointer, it means he made the right bet.

After that, Granger fouled George on defense and followed James back to the field.

James also took a breath off the court, took a sip of water, rested for more than a minute, and came back immediately.

Blatt didn't want to wait until Li Liang showed his power before attacking James. Anyway, he wouldn't die if he missed a minute of rest.

James reappeared, the pressure on George's shoulders decreased a lot, and the pressure on Li Liang increased by one point.

One-on-one defense against James, or the 45 degrees on the left that James likes, this time he dribbled to the left corner, and missed a pull-up jumper.

McGee grabbed the backboard and handed the ball to Li Liang.

The person defending Li Liang changed from George to James. Li Liang knew that he could start.

To be honest, George's defense is a bit shameless, but James can't do it. James can't do the candy-style closeness.

It's not that I don't want to, but his size is relatively large, so I can't make brown sugar.

So Li Liang went to a high position and picked and rolled with McGee.

According to experience, when Li Liang picks and rolls in high positions and big men, he mainly defends against his outside cuts.

Therefore, it is generally squeezed. Once you bypass, Li Liang's long-range three-pointer is really terrible.

But this time Li Liang did not choose to cut outside, but suddenly accelerated to the middle while James squeezed past.

Of course Thompson had to reach out to block it, but Li Liang didn't continue to walk in, stopped near the free throw line, and then directly shot a mid-range jumper.

James didn't have time to interfere, the ball went in, and he made a two-pointer.

Li Liang made a rare mid-range shot and scored two points.

86:81, 5 points difference.

Then, George broke through with the ball on the outside, but before he even made it to the three-point line, the ball was directly cut off by Granger!

Granger dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket. Facing the two Cavaliers' returning defenders, he calmly passed the ball to Li Liang who was keeping up.

Li Liang made a layup and caused a foul by James who was chasing behind.

James wanted to chase the ball, but Li Liang protected the ball very well, so he won't get you a shot.

On the free throw line, two free throws were made, 86:83, only three points away.

At this time, the lineup of the Pacers is McGee, West, Granger, Li Liang and Hill.

This is a very stable lineup. If Garnett hadn't been sent off, let Garnett replace McGee. This would be the most stable defensive lineup in Bird's mind at critical moments.

The two insiders are mature and stable, and both have shooting ability, and the three outsiders are calm and steady, very trustworthy.

Granger's defense against George is amazing. This small forward who has recovered from injury can be said to be the biggest surprise of Bird's operation this year.

Of course, no one would know that this was actually due to Li Liang.

The situation became unfavorable for the Cavaliers again, and James went down to rest for more than a minute, as if the power was cut off.

Next, James dribbled the ball from the outside, ready to rush, which is James' strong point.

As a result, Thompson came to cover and was called a screen foul by the referee...

There was a lot of boos at the scene, and Li Liang was also a little confused. Who are you referees?

If you control the rhythm of the game like this, you will be unlucky when the time comes, you know?

After 20 seconds, Li Liang knew who the referees were.

McGee came over to pick and roll Li Liang in a similar position, but was also called a foul.

what is this? One crime is one crime?

But McGee has already fouled five times!

Li Liang was speechless, and the players didn't do anything, and the referee gave each side a foul.

But the problem is that Thompson has only fouled four times, and he can still stay on the court. McGee must go down to rest, and if he doesn't go down, he will be fined soon.

McGee looked very frustrated. He played very hard tonight. He didn't make any mistakes in offense and defense, but there were too many fouls.

Bird was circling in anger on the sidelines. He looked at the bench. JR-Smith should be on the bench at this time, but Bird thought about it, pointed at Shumpert, and decided to let Shumpert replace McGee. For anything else, what you want is defense.

Shumpert is still more solid than Smith on the defensive end.

With McGee's touch, Li Liang will be in the center position again.

"WCNM." Li Liang cursed in Chinese and walked towards the three-second zone.

I tried to hide and hide, but in the end I still didn't hide.

James seized this opportunity, rushed to the basket from the middle, put Li Liang into the three-second zone, and dunked vigorously with one arm!

Li Liang dodged the ball, he was not afraid that the referee would give him a foul, then he would go to the court to rest immediately.

James' dunk was earth-shattering, but Li Liang immediately returned a mid-range shot on the offensive end.

This time it was West who came out to pick and roll, the same number of ways, cut to the free throw line, and immediately made a mid-range shot.

With the help of [Zero Second Shot], Li Liang's mid-range jump shot is very fast.

Blatter yelled on the sidelines, signaling that James should not be allowed to defend in the next round, and George should be put on defense.

88:85, there are still five minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter.

The confrontation between the two sides has entered the most intense stage.

At this time, the Cavaliers players and fans have already discovered that Li Liang's offensive methods are completely different from before.

This guy starts off with crazy mid-range jumpers.

The mid-range after the pick-and-roll, the mid-range after catching the ball, and the forced mid-range shot after the tentative step facing the basket.

When James rushed to the basket for a dunk, Li Liang made a mid-range jumper.

Owen dribbled the ball continuously, broke into the basket and hit the rebound with a high throw. He threw himself out, fell to the ground and fell into a dazed state. Li Liang turned around and hit a mid-range jumper.

George made a fake three-pointer, broke through the bottom line and rushed to the basket, and succeeded in a dunk. Li Liang held the ball in the horn position. After two fake moves, he hit George's face for the third time with a mid-range jumper...

One mid-range jumper after another, plain, unpretentious and boring, but the number on the scoreboard is the same, two points.

The Cavaliers are still suppressing the Pacers, and their offense is playing like a rainbow-but, there is no way to open the score.

Li Liang's jump shot stabbed the Cavalier like a knife, and the blood flowed profusely. The Cavalier's three hands blocked the hole everywhere, but they couldn't.

The two sides played all the way to 98:98, and there were less than two minutes left before the end of the game. After a pick-and-roll with Hill, Li Liang withdrew to the left 45 degrees, received Hill's pass and made a mid-range jumper. , to tie the score!

Li Liang scored 10 points in a row, and the entire Quicken Loans Center was terrified.

Blatter called a timeout, and James sat on the bench for a long time speechless.

The Cavaliers have really tried their best. In the final stage of the fourth quarter, they really set off an offensive frenzy. Everyone in the Big Three played well, with a variety of personal offenses and an astonishingly high offensive success rate.

But Li Liang resisted abruptly. He relied on his efficient and unstoppable mid-range jumper to tie the score!

At this moment, James felt that Li Liang was possessed by Kobe, and his mid-range shot from the horn position was simply amazing.

The shooting speed is extremely fast, and there are not many preparations. The key is that as a defender, you dare not stick too tightly or put too much.

If you put too much, three points will kill you, if you stick it too tightly, he will continue to burrow in.

In fact, it is not impossible to defend. You can defend against the ball, or close the door and shrink in the middle after the pick-and-roll breaks through. Ren Liliang and Jordan are possessed, and there is no way to shoot one after another.

But the problem was that it was unexpected. When the Cavaliers arranged their defensive strategy before the game, they never expected that Li Liang would shoot like this, and that he would shoot so accurately.

Just like in the 2006 Finals, when the Heat played the Lone Ranger, they didn't expect Wade to cast Jordan abruptly from the mid-range, and the Lone Ranger was still there to double-team O'Neal.

Any team's defensive strategy requires careful preparation and rehearsal before the game. It does not mean that the players can defend as the coach wants the players to defend.

If they are training together all year round, the team with outstanding tactical literacy and tacit cooperation is okay, such as Popovich's Spurs, such as Thibodeau's Bulls.

If the players are highly mobile, and you suddenly let the players engage in collective defense and double-team in the middle, the most likely result is that the defensive end is in a mess, and other players score easily or lose rebounds in the backcourt crazily.

Even a team with a tacit understanding generally needs to go through a game of adjustments and drills in training in order to have better results.

Now Li Liang's mid-range play made the Cavaliers look dumbfounded, and the whole team was dumbfounded. Who is this?

98 draws, the last less than two minutes.

Li Liang sat on the bench panting heavily, counting the time in his mind, 10 minutes should have passed.

It happened to be the last ball just now, and this mid-range hit rate improvement post was really useful, which raised Li Liang's touch to a higher level.

Coupled with the opponent's inability to defend, Li Liang felt that he was accurate in every shot.

Bird looked at Li Liang from the sidelines for a while, but didn't say anything.

Li Liang said, "Uh... well, I know it's like you too, but I don't remember you doing that in the playoffs."

Bird shook his head and said: "Yes, actually there are. In the Eastern Conference semifinals in 1988 against the Hawks, I played against Wilkins in the fourth quarter. I scored 20 points in the fourth quarter. It should be a hit if I hit the Hawks in a row. 7 or 8 balls..."

Li Liang glanced at Bird with disdain, snorted, thinking that if I don't believe me, I will be like you in everything!

The timeout ends and the game continues.

At this time, Bird replaced Shumpert with JR-Smith and West with McGee.

Li Liang came to the fourth position, this is the final moment to decide the outcome.

On the first ball back from the timeout, James made a foul...

Li Liang made a thug foul in defense and sent James to the free throw line.

If the game wasn't about to end, Li Liang really wanted to yell at Ken More.

If you want to give points to the Cavaliers, just say so!

James went to the free throw line, but only made one of two free throws. 99:98, the Cavaliers led by 1 point.

The Cavaliers' defense against Li Liang has indeed changed. Blatt simply let George stick to Li Liang and prevent Li Liang from receiving the ball.

Li Liang shouted "foul" to the referee, but the referee was indifferent.

To be honest, Paul George's close defensive action is not playing basketball, but judo.

JR-Smith shouldered the heavy burden at this time. When Li Liang couldn't catch the ball and others couldn't get in, Smith forced a three-point shot from the outside and hit it!

The Jet Smith took off and soared in the center of Quicken Loans, and it was a deadly 3-pointer, a clutch 3-pointer.

It was still useful for Bird to let Smith rest for a period of time off the court. Smith's hands were not cold, but because of his abundant physical strength, he shot very accurately.

But it wasn't the game-changing goal.

Immediately James assisted Thompson, Thompson dribbled the ball from the wing to the basket, made a successful throw, and caused McGee to foul!

It's over, McGee fouled for the sixth time, McGee was sent off!

McGee looked depressed, the ball was obviously just ordinary physical contact, why was he called a foul?

But there is no way, McGee can only go off, and West comes on.

Thompson made an extra free throw.

At this time, Li Liang had already fouled five times, and he didn't dare to foul again easily.

The Cavaliers regained a one-point lead.

There are still more than 40 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Pacers have one shot, and then they come back to defend one.

Bird called a timeout, and the atmosphere on the court became suffocating.

After a short pause of 20 seconds, Bird arranged a simple serving tactic.

What the Pacers have to do now is not to lose the ball, and then the ball must be sent to Li Liang.

But the Cavaliers also knew that the Pacers' ball was going to Li Liang, so they still guarded Li Liang strictly.

In the end, the ball was served to Hill, and Hill got the ball with some hesitation.

Li Liang yelled at Hill, "Give me the ball!"

Then he rushed to Hill, got rid of George and barely caught the ball, and then rushed to the basket from the left!

Li Liang put on the [God's Left Hand] at the moment, and after going all the way to the basket from the left side he was not familiar with, facing the obstruction of the Cavaliers, he hit a jumper with his left hand!

The fans at the scene were stunned, a left-handed jumper?

The Cavaliers who defended him were also shocked. How dare this guy shoot with his left hand at a time like this?

But there is no way, he just used it, and he just got in.

At 102:103, the Pacers took the lead again.

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

There are still the last 26 seconds, the Cavaliers still have a chance, and the Pacers also left themselves the last time.

At this time, there are not many timeouts for the Cavaliers, and there is one last long timeout and one short timeout left.

After using up this long pause, there is only one short pause left.

During the long timeout, Blatter arranged a very clever tactic.

Taking advantage of McGee's absence and the Pacers' lack of height inside, the sideline serves directly to the three-second zone.

In the three-second zone, James leaped high to catch the ball, then feinted to avoid the Pacers' defense, and passed the ball to Thompson. Thompson's layup... was blocked by Li Liang!

With five fouls on his back, Li Liang took a bold shot and gave Thompson a big cap!

However, Owen jumped out.

He grabs the ball and makes a quick toss shot around the basket.

As a result, Li Liang took off for the second time, touched the ball with his finger, and blocked it again!

Two consecutive blocks, Li Liang almost turned into Mutombo.

But the cover was covered, and the Pacers did not control the ball.

James grabbed the offensive rebound, and after a fake move, he made a one-handed throw with a slight recede.

Li Liang was already unable to block the shot, and could only watch the ball fall into the basket. At 104:103, the Cavaliers took a 1-point lead with 10 seconds left in the game.

The entire Quicken Loans Center was filled with joy, and the cheers seemed to explode.

This could very well be the one shot that decides the outcome of the entire series.

James clenched his fists tightly, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.

He felt that he had touched the edge of victory.

At this time, the Pacers have no timeout.

The Pacers quickly served the ball in the backcourt and gave it to Li Liang. Li Liang held the ball and advanced all the way to pass half court.

He was thinking about what defense to use to end the game, whether to use [Lucky Hand], at this time, his dribbler was hit, and the ball flew directly out of the sideline.

It was Paul George, and George knocked off Li Liang's ball from behind.

After thinking about it for a while, the referee pointed at the Cavaliers' half court. This is the Cavaliers' ball.

This turned out to be the knight's ball?

Li Liang couldn't believe it, George was already a thug!

"He's a thug, he's a thug!" Li Liang yelled at the referee.

But the trio did not listen to Li Liang's defense. After watching the two-minute replay of the video, they insisted on the original verdict that it was the Cavaliers' ball.

Bird hugged his head angrily and cursed on the sidelines. He rarely loses his composure like this.

Judging from the replay of the video, Li Liang's finger did touch the ball in the end.

But the problem is that George did hit Li Liang's forearm, although it was not very clear from the video, it was very subtle.

The Pacers players all hugged their heads, this is over, this is over.

One point behind, the last 8 seconds, the ball is still in the hands of the opponent, unless there is a miracle, otherwise this game will be explained.

As soon as this was explained, the series was tied between the two sides, and the fifth game was Tianwangshan.

The entire Quicken Loans Center began to celebrate the victory, and they tenaciously tied the score.

Can it really win?

The Cavaliers seemed to be too happy, they have a short timeout, but to no avail.

On the Cavaliers bench, Blatt asked assistant coach Lue, "Is there still a timeout?"

Lu replied: "No, we have no timeout."

Tyronn Lue was stupid. He misremembered the number of timeouts. They obviously still had a short timeout!

The players on the field are not sure whether there is a timeout, and they dare not call it casually. If there is no timeout and a timeout is called, they will be sentenced to a technical foul and a free throw.

So, James took the ball directly from the referee and was about to serve the sideline.

James has always been calm, but at this time he was also a little dazzled, feeling like he was about to win.

The last few seconds can be used up... He found Owen and threw the ball directly towards Irving.

The moment the ball was shot, James regretted it. He felt that he was too careless. Why did he pass the ball like this?

The Pacers did not press, did not double-team, just normal defense.

Because it was the ball in the backcourt, the Cavaliers players were waiting. After receiving the ball in the backcourt, the Pacers fouled, then made free throws, and then switched possession. Irving's free throws were the most stable on the court.

So, the ball went to Irving, but it didn't reach Irving.

The ball is in Li Liang's hands!

[Erwin Robertson's Death Coil]!

At this critical moment, Li Liang used his skills, turned out, and broke the ball from Owen's hand!

After stealing the ball, Li Liang almost rushed out of the baseline, because he rushed too hard, like a goalkeeper making a save.

He turned his head, saw JR-Smith, and then used the skill [John Johnson's one shot into the soul]!

A ground-hitting pass was thrown into the hands of Smith in the middle. Smith caught the ball and avoided Thompson's block for a layup!

Go in and overtake!

The situation is reversed instantly!

The entire Quicken Loans Center froze.

Only 4 seconds were left for the Cavaliers.

Only then did Tyronn Lue realize that they still had a short timeout.

The Pacers' bench was flying, unbelievable, unbelievable.

Li Liang contributed the greatest steal in the NBA in the 21st century at the last moment, and he is a well-deserved thief of the century.

The Cavaliers paused, and the Quicken Loans Center was silent. Li Liang was relieved and walked off the court.

The teammates rushed over to hug Li Liang frantically, but Li Liang told them to calm down, "The game is not over yet, my friends!"

Mike Brown held his head, turned around and shook his head in disbelief.

And Bird looked at Li Liang, his eyes were full of what he looked like back then.

"Not bad Bruce, you have caught up with me back then."

Li Liang looked at Bird with a smile and thought, I am willing to Li Liang.
