The tragicomedy of history always repeats itself again and again.

After Li Liang hit this ultra-long three-pointer, the time seemed to return to 2004, the 0.4 seconds that determined the direction of the series.

At that time, the Spurs were still the defending champions. If it weren't for that 0.4 seconds, they might be able to complete a three-peat dominance.

But there is no if in history, 0.4 seconds, heaven and hell, everything becomes different.

What's more cruel is that this time, Duncan should not have another chance.

In 2004, that was ten years ago, he was still the one who could control the league structure.

Even if he is hurt, he can recover after licking the wound and continue to challenge for the championship.

Today, Duncan's basketball career is not long, and the life cycle of competitive sports is short, and often missing a victory is a lifetime.

After Li Liang hit this earth-shattering lore, like Fisher in 2004, he rushed into the locker room frantically to celebrate the victory with his teammates.

Only the spectators who kept leaving the arena and the lonely Spurs players were left in the arena.

Duncan stood under the basket and looked up at the ring. When he saw Li Liang's three-pointer just now, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The ball seemed to be shining brightly.

Sure enough, it hit, and it was a strike, no doubt a strike.

Duncan stood still for a few seconds, jumped up lightly, and pulled the net with his hand.

Then he left the arena with his head down.

An era may thus be over.

...

The Clippers locker room is another scene, and the players began to celebrate wildly.

This is the first time in their history that they have reached the finals, and there is one more team in the NBA's finals record.

Champagne filled the locker room, and Li Liang put on his black Western Championship hat and received the silver Western Championship trophy.

This is his night.

He hit 8 three-pointers, including this desperate 0.4-second lore.

4:2, did not drag to the tie-break.

"I still want that golden one, I still want that golden one!"

Li Liang yelled at everyone in the locker room.

The golden one is the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the ultimate glory of the NBA.

At this time, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, it also turned into a sea of ​​joyful red.

Clippers fans gathered here to watch the sixth game between the Clippers and the Spurs on the octagonal screen in the arena.

When Duncan hit that fadeaway jumper, a lot of people were desperate and ready to buy Game 7 tickets.

But in the last 0.4 seconds, Li Liang's ultra-long three-pointer made the Clippers fans experience the ecstasy from hell to heaven. Even if there were no players on the court, the cheers of the fans still resounded through the audience and lasted for several minutes.

Clippers fans finally elated at this moment. They reached the Finals this season and ended the Lakers' dominance of Los Angeles.

The finals will start at the Staples Center on June 5. The Heat VS the Clippers, Li Liang VS James, and decide the championship of the 2014 season.

Li Liang and his teammates returned to Los Angeles the next day after the sixth game.

They were treated like heroes and welcomed in Los Angeles.

Although the journey is not over yet, for the Clippers, the Western Conference Championship has already made history.

It is already a great honor to stand on the stage of the finals.

The whole team was immersed in joy, and Li Liang also felt that there was a huge difference compared with the Lakers of last season.

After finishing the Western Conference Finals with the Lakers last season, the whole team didn't respond.

On the contrary, Kobe is more serious, because reaching the finals is the beginning for the Lakers. If they fail to win the championship, they will be the biggest loser.

The relaxed atmosphere of the Clippers came a little too early.

Fortunately, they still have a few days to adjust, come out of this too relaxed atmosphere, and realize that their battle is not over yet, and there is still a mountain of Heat waiting for them to climb.

Li Liang didn't relax at all these two days. He knew that the Heat couldn't match the Clippers in terms of strength. In the simulation of the simulation world, the Clippers won 4:1 several times.

But if there are too many simulations, the Heat will also beat the Clippers 4:3.

This shows that there are uncertain factors in the series, and it is not impossible for the Heat to overturn the Clippers.

As long as the Clippers ensure their stable performance, the chances of winning will be great.

In order to win the Heat, Li Liang has used up his lucky hands and can no longer rely on luck to win.

Stable play, the Heat will not be the Clippers' opponent.

...

The time soon came to the day of the finals, and the Staples Center was replaced with a brand new floor.

Only "The finals" has been added to the floor of this year's finals in bold, and it has been placed inconspicuously on the flanks.

In the past few years, the NBA liked to put a large watermark of the O'Brien Cup in the center of the floor of the finals. There were flat and three-dimensional ones, which completely destroyed the overall aesthetics of the court floor, no matter how ugly it was.

It was as if they were afraid that the audience would not know that this was the O'Brien Cup and that this was the finals.

This stupid publicity method in the past two years has been cancelled. Li Liang said, "This may be the most important reform in the NBA in recent years, not one of them."

The game starts at seven o'clock in the evening.

Before the game, the Clippers invited pop queen Beyonce to sing the national anthem.

The scene became a grand banquet.

The ratings of this game also set a new high for this season.

After all, people have been looking forward to the confrontation between Li Liang and James for a whole season.

There are also Paul vs. Wade, Griffin vs. Bosh, which can be said to be full of highlights.

Li Liang and James stood on both sides of the field. James would never have imagined that after ten years of fighting in the league, he would end up fighting such a Chinese kid who had just entered the league for two years?

And I can't beat it visually?

This year's heat is not comparable to the previous two years.

Wade's state has declined, Bosh can't say a word, Chalmers, Cole and others, to put it bluntly, are not talented players.

Entering the finals for four consecutive years, the Heat hang on with one breath on the one hand, and on the other hand, there are really no opponents in the Eastern Conference.

The Celtics are old and falling apart.

Rose continued to be reimbursed, and the Bulls were unsustainable.

The Pacers blew themselves up as soon as they rose, and died inexplicably.

Relatively speaking, the situation in the West is much worse, with the old and immortal Spurs, the double-star Thunder, the rising Warriors, and the dormant Lakers.

The Clippers were very easy in the first two rounds, and the Spurs were really strong.

Facing the Heat in the finals, the situation was a little bit wrong at the beginning of the first quarter.

It was the audience and the fans in front of the TV that felt something was wrong. The Clippers' offense was a bit too fierce. Why can't the Heat seem to be able to stop it?

The Heat are known for their high-intensity oppressive defense, but this year their defense has been a bit exhausted, and it can't reach the super high intensity it used to be.

After being baptized and sharpened in the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers' offense has become sharper and sharper, so sharp that the Heat can't stop it at all.

Compared with the dense and sophisticated defense of the Spurs, the Heat's defense this year is really a bit rigid and not tough. It seems to be very oppressive, but a few passes have revealed loopholes.

At the same time, the problem of the Heat's weak defense at the basket has never been resolved, but the Clippers have a balanced offense and defense.

In the first quarter, the Clippers beat the Heat 31:25!

In the game against the Spurs, the Clippers have never scored 30 points in a single quarter. This feeling seems to be stuffy in the water for a long time, and suddenly popped out and was able to breathe.

Under the fierce offensive of the Clippers, the Heat felt unable to resist.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Liang started to show off his power. He fired repeatedly from the outside line. Relying on his good condition, he scored 4 three-pointers in a row and hit the Heat with a wave of 15:2 super attack.

The main resistance of the Heat came from James, but his resistance alone seemed weak. He kept passing the ball to his teammates, and then the teammates kept hitting the iron, or passed the ball to him in turn.

The expected battle between Li Liang VS James did not appear in this game.

Even Li Liang himself thought, what is going on with the Heat? How come the finals, no fighting energy at all?

The Clippers are full of fighting spirit, especially Paul, who is extremely aggressive.

In the third quarter, Paul hit consecutive mid-range jumpers and helped the Clippers hit a 10:0, and the point difference was suddenly opened to 20 points!

The Staples Center was full of jubilation, but the fans in front of the TV couldn't understand it.

That's it? That's it? It's more than one level worse than the Western Conference Finals.

What is this heat playing, what is it?

The Clippers felt like they were playing the regular season.

On the Heat's side, did Spoelstra not target at all?

Or is there a big gap in strength, so there is no way to deal with it?

If you think about it carefully, it seems true that the Heat have no way to target it.

People's hearts are already a little scattered, and it is already a miracle to reach the finals.

The Clippers defeated the Heat in halftime, and then 121:97 in the whole game, with a huge advantage of 24 points, swept the Heat at home and won the first game of the finals, which surprised everyone.
