Li Liang's series of three-pointers stunned the people at the Ford Center.

The rookie's 3-point explosiveness in the playoffs was amazing, and the Thunder made mistakes.

Westbrook's recklessness and mistakes brought the point difference between the two sides to a very difficult point.

18 points, with less than three minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

Although there is still a fourth quarter, the Thunder did not show enough offensive efficiency throughout the game, proving that they can even out the point difference.

Or their defense is tough enough to keep the Lakers scoreless for long periods of time.

Of course, the Thunder have Westbrook and Durant, they don't need any special tactics.

As long as the Lakers slacken a little, or suddenly miss the mark on offense, the Thunder will have a chance to come back.

The problem is that the Lakers will not relax in the first place. During the timeout, Mike Brown kept emphasizing that everyone should concentrate, slow down the pace, and hit the success rate.

Secondly, the physical strength of the Lakers has not been greatly affected, and the veterans still have spare strength.

If according to Mike Brown's idea, the Lakers continue to maintain a high-intensity defense and rely on defense to suppress the Thunder, then they may be exhausted in the fourth quarter and may be defeated in a short time.

The problem is that the Lakers didn't play according to Brown's ideas, but followed Li Liang's ideas.

Li Liang's thinking is correct. They need to rely on offense to suppress the Thunder in a more efficient and better way.

Li Liang's consecutive three-pointers did not consume too much physical energy of the veterans.

Kobe and Nash still have enough energy to finish the fourth quarter and even play overtime without any problem.

The problem for the Thunder is that they are a little out of sorts.

In this game, Brooks made frequent mistakes in command. He wanted to adjust too much, wanted to make changes, and wanted to win the game too much.

In fact they are the advantage, they have got home court advantage, Brooks should not be so anxious.

Perhaps last year and the last round against the Spurs gave Brooks a taste of the sweetness of adjustments, and they have achieved good results through adjustments under disadvantaged circumstances.

But the Lakers are a different opponent, and the coach of the Lakers is Mike Brown.

Mike Brown, immovable as a mountain.

It's useless to play tricks in front of him.

After the timeout, in the last three minutes of the third quarter, Li Liang went off to rest.

Mike - Brown continued his twin towers, Howard, Paul - Gasol, began to hit the success rate.

Howard was activated in this round, and he caused consecutive kills in the paint.

Perkins had fouled four times in the third quarter and had to rest.

Howard made four free throws and hit three goals to stabilize the point difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by 16 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Thunder launched the final charge.

At this time, Kobe, who had been dormant for the whole game, finally stood up.

He used precise mid-range jumpers one by one to extinguish the flames of the Thunder's counterattack.

Playing against the Thunder last year, Kobe's physical strength was insufficient at the last moment, and he used all kinds of irons to send the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals.

This year he does not allow himself to make the same mistake again, so this time, he has been accumulating energy.

The purpose is to hold the victory firmly in one's own hands and not let it slip away.

Last year, the Thunder had Harden on the bench. When chasing points, Harden, Westbrook, and Durant were on the court, and each of them had a strong scoring power.

As a result, there is one less this year, only Durant and Westbrook. Westbrook is prone to making mistakes in handling the ball, and Durant is under too much pressure and will not receive the ball.

Westbrook made a pass error in the third quarter, and when chasing points in the fourth quarter, he threw two three-pointers and missed, allowing Kobe to counterattack and make consecutive hits.

The Thunder completely lost the chance to reverse the game.

At 117:103, the Lakers won the third game with a 14-point advantage, leading the Thunder 2:1!

They regained home court advantage.

Li Liang didn't score again in the fourth quarter. He used his three-point deterrence to send out 3 assists.

Even so, he hit 9 three-pointers and scored 40 points.

40 points for the first time in the playoffs!

Durant and Westbrook scored 69 points together, but they couldn't prevent the team from losing at home and gave up the home court advantage.

At the end of the game, Westbrook and Durant both looked disappointed and left the court from the player channel with their heads down.

They were completely suppressed in this game. Both of them performed very well, but they also made some mistakes.

On the opposite side, Li Liang's 9 three-pointers are too dazzling, and at the same time he continues to maintain the usual style of the past: he hardly makes mistakes.

This is a habit he developed when he played in college. If he can play, he can't provide much effect. If you make mistakes again, isn't it a negative effect?

So with 40 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, he only made 1 turnover.

And Kobe scored 21 points and sent 11 assists at the same time. Kobe has become more and more comfortable switching between the two forms.

After the game, Li Liang was interviewed by a TV reporter.

Looking at the Ford Center, which had almost retired, Li Liang said: "The fans in Oklahoma City are very enthusiastic, but I want to say sorry, I must take away a victory here, for sure. This is a promise of mine. Said to a friend, tomorrow game, I will play very well, and then take this win, and now I did."

Then, Li Liang waved his hand to the camera and said, "Hey, I said I can do it. Yes, this is the devil's home court, but if there are angels coming, then the devil won't be so scary."

After the interview was over, Li Liang returned to the locker room, and Mike Brown and Kobe took Li Liang to the post-match press conference.

This time Li Liang is not happy, he doesn't want to take the task and talk big, he must always pay attention to his elegant image!

However, what Li Liang said in the post-match interview immediately caused an upsurge in sports news media and social networks.

Li Liang broke out in the playoffs, scoring 9 three-pointers and 40 points in a single game to help the Lakers defeat the Thunder.

This performance of course made the Lakers and Chinese fans greatly excited.

What is the concept of 40 points? For a superstar like Kevin Garnett, the highest score in a single game in the playoffs is 35 points.

The last player to score 40 points in a rookie playoff game was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 46 points against Philadelphia.

Li Liang's achievement is undoubtedly shocking.

But everyone is more concerned about who is "that friend" that Li Liang mentioned in the post-match interview?

Why did you promise this friend that the game must be won? What is the relationship between the two?

Anyway, there are various speculations on the Internet. Some say it was Kobe, some said it was a lover, some said it was a manager, and some said it was just an ordinary friend. The two made a bet.

Then, a bunch of IDs such as "Gan Liliang's friend", "Li Liang's friend", "friend Gan Liliang", "Li Lianggan's friend" and other IDs popped up on the Internet, jokingly posted on forums, INS, and Twitter.

Anyway, a victory is another joy for the fans.

Oh, and as for Li Liang's real friend Wei Dazhi, of course he will pop up at this time and post a post on social media, "I am that friend of Bruce Lee."

The post was reposted a lot, but people who eat melons said that it is impossible for Li Liang to speak on TV specifically for Wei Dazhi.

Wei Dazhi said confidently, "You don't have to guess, Li Liang's friend is me!"

Anyway, Li Liang didn't have a social media account, so he couldn't refute him, and he didn't have the heart to refute.

After the post-match interview and a series of activities, Li Liang followed the team bus back to the hotel.

After a fierce game, the veterans were a little tired, but the victory made everyone look very energetic.

And Li Liang is more than just a spirit, his eyes are shining. Looking at him like this, it will be no problem to start the fourth game directly in an hour.

However, when he returned to his room with his bag, he found that it was empty and there was no one there.

I left a note next to the bed, which said: I have something to talk about back to Los Angeles, so go first, take care of yourself, and be afraid that ghosts will call me. You did a great job, both tonight and last night.

Li Liang looked at the sticky note and threw it on the bed, there was still a vague fragrance on the pillow.

"Hey, damn it, I'm not afraid of a female ghost."

...

After the third game, Li Liang scored 40 points in a single game, so the system also gave him a chance to draw a lottery.

Li Liang entered the system, and he was not very hopeful about the lottery draw.

This system is getting more and more stingy now, and it always gives him some inexplicable and useless props.

That lucky pin, the key to the space library, whether the eggs are used, I don’t know what they are for.

There is also the second chapter of the history book, there is a preface inexplicably, and there is no shadow after that.

Li Liang now really wants to know what the next part is, because it will affect his choice for Xia Tian.

If the next part still needs to be played with the Los Angeles Lakers, then he will choose to stay with the Lakers.

If not, he would consider leaving.

Of course, I just don't know if the mission of the previous chapter will be affected after leaving.

Zhu Shu said that she went back to Los Angeles to discuss things, and later the two chatted in text messages, and Zhu Shu said that there were non-stop private contact with the team.

After Li Liang scored 40 points in the playoffs, this kind of contact became more frequent.

These include the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, and Spurs, all of whom are trying to establish contact with Zhu Shu through their respective relationships.

As long as Li Liang jumps out of the contract, given the salary situation of the Lakers, it is impossible for him to match the contracts offered by other teams.

Like Rocket Morey, the Lakers will accept a poison contract like Jeremy Lin's in all likelihood.

It's just that they don't know that Li Liang's decision to stay or stay does not depend on Zhu Shu, the size of the contract, or factors that any normal player would consider.

His decision depends only on himself, on his heart to make himself stronger.

Another chance to spin the wheel of fortune, Li Liang thought, give me a useful prop!

The turntable turned slowly and then stopped slowly:

[Congratulations, you have obtained a special item, "Catalogue of the City of Angels Book (Part 2)", please check it in the exchange center. 】

"Damn, it's useless again!"

Li Liang was almost speechless, but when he thought about it carefully, with the prologue and the table of contents, it meant that there was only one opportunity left before the opening of the second chapter of the City of Angels book.
