Throughout the season, plus the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Warriors will always be the one to overwhelm their opponents.

In the Western Conference finals, I was really not used to being rubbed on the ground by the Thunder.

To be honest, in the first game of the series, until the third quarter, the game is far from over.

Even if they lose this game, the series has only just begun, and it is very normal to lose the first away game.

But a sense of desperation gradually permeated the Warriors because of the presence of Bruce Lee on the opposite side.

The psychological shadow Li Liang left on the Warriors last year was really not small.

It stands to reason that if you lost last year, you should take revenge this year.

There are still many such series of revenge battles in NBA history.

But Li Liang didn't feel the slightest decline this year, and his teammates are even stronger.

Until the third quarter, Li Liang played normally all the time, and did not turn on the unparalleled mode. The Warriors could no longer hold on.

How will we play the next game?

Li Liang in the playoffs is very scary.

The entire league can be said to have returned to the 1990s, feeling the fear of being dominated by Michael Jordan in the playoffs.

At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led the Warriors by 15 points with 90:75.

The Thunder scored 30 points in a single quarter, while only allowing the Warriors to score 20 points.

20 points, this score is too little for the Warriors.

Their passing and cutting cooperation is completely unplayable.

The Big Three jointly scored 22 points in the third quarter, and basically all the points came from them.

The fourth quarter begins, and this is the Warriors' last chance.

During the festival, the reporter interviewed Cole. Cole put his hands behind his back, his face full of dignity, and said, "Our offense has not played to the level it should be. Three-pointers and air cuts have not been played. The Thunder played very well. , but we still have time."

The Warriors do still have time, a quarter of time.

The Thunder don't seem to want to give the Warriors too much time.

In the fourth quarter, Li Liang continued to play with the second team, not wanting to give the Warriors a chance to quickly chase points.

Waiters held the ball for halftime, Li Liang came out from the low post, used the double screen of Kanter and Adams to the top of the arc, received the cross pass from Waiters, made a direct three-pointer, and hit!

This three-pointer was cold-blooded and deadly, stabbing the warrior in the heart.

The Thunder have two indiscriminate three-point cannons on the outside, and their firepower is indeed super strong.

Speights caught the ball in the low post and missed a turnaround jumper.

Iguodala got the offensive rebound and passed the ball to Livingston.

Livingston got the ball at the top of the arc and threw it for a three-pointer, but he didn't score.

Livingston was obviously in a hurry with the ball. The three-pointer was not his good offensive method. After getting the offensive rebound, he still had 24 seconds to attack, but he shot directly.

The Warriors desperately want to score.

Li Liang then hit the ground from a high position and passed it to Adams. Adams caught the ball and made a breakthrough, but was blown a walk.

After Thompson passed halftime, the pass from behind the top of the arc hit Kanter's feet, and the ball was picked up by the Thunder.

Cole was anxious on the sidelines, and the mentality of the players was a little impetuous.

Chasing 18 points in one quarter is indeed too difficult, but not impossible.

First of all, you must stabilize your mentality. If you don’t stabilize your mentality, you must chase points quickly with one mind, and the gap will only grow wider.

Li Liang counterattacked with the ball. He would not take pity on the Warriors. He attacked in a one-stop way in the middle. Facing the defense of the Warriors' three players, he went to the basket and made a foul and went to the free throw line.

Today's Li Liang is becoming more and more difficult to stop in the fast break, and his muscles are not for nothing.

Two free throws were made, and the point difference was stretched to 20 points.

This is a huge gap, and the Warriors already have a feeling of powerlessness.

Before this game, everyone was looking forward to a big battle where Mars hit the earth.

As a result, it seems that the strength gap between the Warriors and the Thunder seems to be a bit large.

In fact, the score is just an appearance, and it does not mean that the strength gap between the two teams is really 20 points.

Like the first four games of the 2005 Finals, both the Spurs and the Pistons beat their opponents by a large margin at home.

In the end, Tianwangshan played extremely fiercely and dragged the series to the seventh game.

This kind of master fight has a great impact on the on-the-spot state and the coach's preparation.

Obviously, Donovan outperformed Cole tonight in pre-match preparation and on-the-spot command.

The cards in the hands of both sides are actually similar. Donovan has more big cards, one king and two 2s.

Cole also has big cards in his hand, more cards are hit, and the rest are straights.

Cole wanted to play a straight, but Donovan used the big cards in his hand to force Cole to play a single card, breaking up the straight in his hand.

Then use the big cards to suppress the opponent, so that your own cards can be released smoothly.

It can be said that in the pre-match preparation and on-the-spot combat, although the game is not over yet, Cole has already lost.

After the point difference came to 20 points, the Warriors scored two points relying on difficult offensive rebounds and Speights' fouls at the basket.

But then, the high position faced the Warriors' high-pressure defense with serial substitutions to block, and the ball was given to Waiters in the bottom corner from the center.

Waiters catches the ball and makes a three-pointer from the right corner!

Another deadly three-pointer.

After that, the two sides failed to score for several consecutive rounds, which is not good news for the Warriors.

Li Liang began to press the rhythm, grabbed the backcourt rebounds and slowly crossed the half court, grinding the ground.

What the Thunder need now is the offensive success rate.

Kanter and Adams both came out to cover Li Liang. Li Liang didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer directly, but slowly held the ball and penetrated to the horns, then suddenly took off and shot a mid-range jumper!

Two points hit!

To be honest, Cole wanted to close his eyes seeing Li Liang's middle distance.

In the finals last year, it was Li Liang who used the mid-range shot to die in this position!

Li Liang hasn't used the [Mid-range jumper hit rate improvement sticker] yet. He doubts whether the Warriors need to use props given the current situation of the Warriors.

The ball paused the Warriors' shot, Cole looked at the big screen, the point difference was 22 points, and there were 8 minutes and 19 seconds left before the end of the game.

Time to think about the next game.

...

About 15 minutes later, Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals came to an end.

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Warriors replaced the main players and gave up resistance.

The TV station gave the pictures of the Warriors' bench, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

The Warriors lineup has been strengthened this year, and as a result, Li Liang's teammates have also been strengthened.

What can you do in the face of this kind of repetitive jumping people?

The Thunder maintained the 20-point difference until the last moment, when the Warriors hit a few three-pointers from the outside and recovered a little.

But it was too late.

At 109:97, with a 12-point advantage, the Thunder easily defeated the Warriors at home and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals.

Curry made 1 of 6 three-pointers tonight, and his performance was quite abnormal, which was related to injuries and the Thunder's excellent defense.

As for the Thunder, Li Liang, Durant, and Westbrook scored 29, 27, and 28 points respectively, accounting for most of the team's points.

The three of them worked together and played steadily, stepping down the mighty warrior.

Because they are even more arrogant.

After the game, Li Liang was elected the best player of the game and was interviewed by reporters.

It's time for Li Liang to gossip again after the game.

To be honest, Li Liang's flirting has been much less in the past two years.

After all, the achievement system no longer assigns him tasks, so there are probably no props to reward him.

Without the systematic seduction, Li Liang naturally lost the desire to talk flirtatiously.

But in the Western Conference Finals, Li Liang still wanted to say something.

Facing the reporter, he said directly, "I don't think this round of the series will be too long. I'm already thinking about how to play in this year's finals."
