After Li Liang's open three-point ability rose to 99, he did a comparative experiment during training to see if there was any difference from when he was 90.

After a few hundred more pitches, Li Liang felt the difference—he became extremely stable.

This kind of stability does not come from the hands, because after years of training, competitions, ability value bonuses, and rune bonuses, Li Liang's hand shape has become very, very stable.

Hitting twenty or thirty open three-pointers in one go is a piece of cake for him.

This stability comes from his mentality, the mentality when shooting three-pointers.

Li Liang has experienced this mentality before, when he entered the state of selflessness when he participated in the three-point contest.

This kind of state is difficult to achieve, and when the open three-point ability value reaches 99, Li Liang finds that he can enter the state of selflessness relatively easily.

Only the hand, the ball and the basket are left in my own world.

Opponents, referees, and spectators do not exist.

Shooting has become a game of pure self and the basket, against the gravity of the earth and the laws of physics, and has nothing to do with other people.

On the night of April 30th, Li Liang started his performance in San Antonio.

This year's playoffs are different from last year's Thunder, Li Liang is not prepared to stay at all.

After a season of running-in, Li Liang knew what he was like with his group of people.

When you smoke it, no one is really afraid.

Get up, even Li Liang is afraid.

Therefore, when it came to the playoffs, Li Liang, as the head coach, personally went into battle to give the players a sample.

This is the case in the first game of the first round. He wants to bring out the confidence of his teammates and let the players start the game in a relatively relaxed state, so that the Kings players can perform better.

So, in the first quarter of the first game in San Antonio, the Spurs, who had no outside defensive gates, were pierced by Li Liang's three-pointer and emergency stop jumper.

Li Liang's offensive choice after the opening is very simple, pick and roll with the ball.

Hit two consecutive three-pointers in a row, then began to stab the basket, and hit consecutive jumpers with emergency stops.

Li Liang's short-range pull-up jumper has been practiced very well, and he hits the board with his eyes closed at 45 degrees on both wings.

He doesn't have to look at the rim, he just needs to aim for the backboard, and the shot point is so high that he can't block the shot at all.

Gasol and Aldridge were not strong at moving, and could only interfere with their long arms. As a result, they watched Li Liang hit consecutively, and there was nothing they could do.

In the first quarter, Li Liang scored 20 points and the Kings led by 7 points at 37:30.

The Spurs' offense was also good, but Li Liang really couldn't guard against it.

Li Liang is not going to play any strategies and tactics with Popovich in the series.

Judging from historical experience, the way to deal with Popovich is very simple, one force will drop ten games.

After holding back for more than a season, Li Liang, who did not give his best except for the Olympics, finally let the people of San Antonio feel the fear of being dominated by Bruce Lee.

In the second quarter, Li Liang made 4 of 7 three-pointers and scored another 15 points. He scored 35 points in the half. The Spurs didn't know how to defend.

In the third quarter, Li Liang continued to be relentless, shooting crazy three-pointers from the outside - this is how Li Liang plays in the Olympics.

Almost half of the Kings' shots were contracted by Li Liang.

In the third quarter, 3 of 5 three-pointers led the Kings to a wave of 15:0 attacks.

The Spurs have been struggling to catch up before, taking advantage of Alder and Gasol's low position to score points.

As a result, Li Liang finally couldn't keep up with Li Liang's undefendable attack, and was exhausted.

Li Liang scored 54 points in three quarters, turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.

At this time, the Kings players felt for the first time what it was like to play with Li Liang who was going all out.

Easy, really easy.

The body is relaxed and the mind is more relaxed.

Don't do anything else, stand in the corner and wait for the pass in the offense, defend hard, and then nothing will happen.

The Spurs couldn't come up with an effective defense to deal with Li Liang's indiscriminate offense.

Holding the ball from the outside, throwing a three-pointer directly after a pick-and-roll, or throwing without a pick-and-roll, this style of play feels really shameless.

The small man couldn't defend from the outside, but when the big man defended, Li Liang broke through to the basket.

Double-teaming, double-teaming is equal to no, three-teaming is required.

Popovich misses Leonard very much at this time.

Although it is difficult for Leonard to restrict Li Liang one-on-one, it will not make Li Liang play like this.

Wiggins defending Li Liang is simply for nothing.

Li Liang's body is as strong as Malone's, he is as accurate as Thompson's three-pointer, and he has a height advantage. It can be said that he is the peak configuration of "one shot and four grabs".

Durant may have better scoring skills and wingspan, but in terms of scoring continuity and anti-interference, he is really not as good as Li Liang.

In fact, since the Olympics, many American experts, such as Li Liang's fan Gundy, have already seen that Li Liang's ability to digest the ball may have reached the peak of NBA history.

Ability is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it depends on Li Liang's style of play, which is already the current trend and trend of the NBA.

If Li Liang was in the NBA in the 1990s, he would definitely change in terms of playing style and training, and he would not be what he is today.

What he looks like today is honed according to the trend rules of the NBA, and of course he is the most efficient.

Van Gundy predicted at the beginning of the season that Bruce Lee is likely to average more than 35 points per game in the new season.

As a result, Van Gundy was slapped in the face, and Li Liang didn't even break 30 points.

In fact, Van Gundy said that he was not wrong. The reason why Li Liang didn't break 35 was because he didn't want to, not because he couldn't.

In the playoffs, against the Clippers in the first round, Li Liang scored 40 points in two games with ease.

In the first game against the Spurs, it was 50 points in three quarters, and it was easy again.

In the end, the Kings were 127:110, with a 17-point advantage to take away a victory in San Antonio.

Li Liang, who was fully fired, did not give the Spurs any chance.

The series of preparations Popovich made before the game were all in vain when the hardware conditions were insufficient.

There is no gate outside, no Duncan inside, and today's Spurs are just a regular season team.

Relying on a smooth offense can fight encounters, but when it comes to the tough battles of the series, it becomes weak.

On another field, the tiebreaker between the Thunder and the Lakers also came to an end.

With Wade and Leonard, the Lakers defeated the Thunder by 5 points at Staples with the help of their home court and successfully reached the Western Conference semifinals.

In this way, three of the four teams in the Western Conference semifinals are from California.

The West has turned into a California Civil War, and the only thing that is resisting is the Texas Spurs.

And the flag of Texas fell again a day later.

The second battle between the Spurs and the Kings continues in San Antonio.

In this game, the Spurs learned the lessons of the previous game and changed their defensive strategy.

First of all, Popovich switched to rookie Murray to start, replacing the old Parker.

The energetic Morrie was asked to mark Li Liang during the game!

Of course, he was only leading the defense against harassment, and he never took off in the defense. He only defended close to him, just to defend against Li Liang's three-pointer.

Then, in the mid-range and three-second zone, the Spurs made heavy defenses to defend against Li Liang's breakthrough.

This trick really worked, Li Liang couldn't throw three-pointers as crazy as in the first game.

But this trick also has side effects, and the corners and flanks are completely opened up.

In the first half, the King's three-point shooting rate was not good, which led to the Spurs taking the lead.

At halftime, Li Liang told everyone, "Hit that damn three-pointer and we'll win!"

In the second half, Tucker and Gordon broke out and hit consecutive three-pointers.

The Spurs are betting that the rest of the Kings will not make three-pointers.

As a result, a wave of three-pointers tied the score.

Another wave of three-pointers, leading the way, the Spurs were desperate.

Can't beat it!

The inside twin towers composed of Alder and Gasol looked soft and slow in front of the king, with slow offense and weak defense, which seemed extremely tasteless.

Five years earlier, this would have been a very powerful pairing.

Now, they have been left behind by the tide of the times.

At 101:95, the Kings made another victory in San Antonio, winning both away games.

The Western Conference Finals are just around the corner.
