At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led the 76ers by 7 points at 28:21.

For the Clippers, 28 points in one quarter are few.

Last season, the Clippers often scored more than 30 or even 40 points in the first quarter.

Li Liang brought something different to the Pacers' offense.

And this thing was rarely seen in Li Liang's body in the past.

The audience and the commentator were surprised to find that Li Liang's ability to hold the ball is so strong?

Last season, his ability to hold the ball was limited to the emergency stop jump shot after the tentative step. Basically, there was not much change. He set up a one-on-one position. If there is no pick-and-roll cover, it is difficult for him to break through the defense.

As a result, in the first quarter of the first game of the new season, Li Liang broke through the inside and scored consecutively, hitting Noel dizzy.

Noel was already inexperienced, and he was facing a senior who had been shadowed.

He was educated by Li Liang's three-pointer before. After two years, will he still break through?

Moreover, Li Liang's breakthroughs are very weird. Others are rushing to the basket for layups and dunks, but this guy always suddenly makes a close-range emergency stop jump shot.

Li Liang's emergency stop jump shot has a very unique rhythm, which is really unpredictable for ordinary people.

In fact, Li Liang himself can't figure it out.

This trick has already been lost, and no one has used it for a long time.

Li Liang became more proficient the more he used it last season. This season he combined it with breakthroughs. The teams haven't started to study him yet. How do you ask Noel to defend.

For Li Liang, the difficulty of this trick lies in the timing of the emergency stop and the impact on the knee and ankle.

Fortunately, Li Liang has the equipment, so he doesn't have to worry about the accumulation of injuries.

As for the control of timing and rhythm, Li Liang has reached a very high level through repeated training in the system and in reality.

Li Liang scored 12 points in the first quarter, making 1 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 two-pointers, and one free throw.

It is still Li Liang's high efficiency, unstoppable.

Li Liang played the first quarter and sat down to rest.

"Hey Larry, how am I doing?" Li Liang drank his saliva and asked Larry Bird for advice.

"So-so." Bird didn't even look at Li Liang, and threw a sentence at Li Liang.

Is this so-so?

Li Liang is disdainful, can't you see that I have used my new trick to break up the 76ers' defense?

So, Li Liang began to mutter: "8, 60, 8, 60, 8, 60..."

Bird turned to look at Li Liang, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Li Liang said: "It's nothing, it's just a set of numbers, 8, 60, 8, 60..."

Bird is such a smart person. The two numbers 8 and 60 immediately came to his mind. They were his scores in the finals in 1981, and needless to say, 60 was Li Liang's score in the finals.

Bird laughed angrily, this kid actually used this incident to mock himself?

Really TM is a talent.

Of course Bird didn't know, this was taught to Li Liang by himself in the system.

Who else knows Bird better than Bird?

"OK, you played well, take another two minutes to rest and get ready to play, I think you'd better end the fight in the first half, otherwise I will think your strength is nothing more than that."

Li Liang shrugged, "Then the first half ends. I feel that I am in good shape today."

Li Liang is indeed in good condition today.

After holding back for a summer, after experiencing the short-term wrong choice of the Cavaliers, Li Liang devoted himself to training.

This summer he lived even harder than the previous summer.

He also went back to his hometown the previous summer and stayed in China for a while.

This year, he stayed in the United States for more than two months to improve his strength.

His physical fitness, skills, and experience have reached a new peak in his career.

After playing four minutes in the second quarter, the Pacers turned the score into 34:23, and the lead came to 9 points.

The 76ers really have no one, and Tony Roten has become their most reliable ball-handling point.

When Li Liang reappeared, the 76ers couldn't find anyone to match Li Liang.

The 76ers let Chris Johnson, who is 198 tall, deal with Li Liang.

He and Li Liang entered the NBA in the same year, but he was even worse than Li Liang, and he was an undrafted pick.

In the scout evaluation, the evaluation for Chris Johnson is that the defense is active, but lacks confrontation...

Lack of confrontation, facing the current Li Liang, is the result of being bumped to death.

After Li Liang gained weight, the impact of his breakthrough was greatly enhanced.

In the first quarter, he fouled Chris Johnson and scored a three-pointer.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Hibbert tried a mid-range jumper and missed.

Li Liang rushed inside, grabbed an offensive rebound, and then made a layup.

Chris Johnson was directly squeezed by Li Liang, and he couldn't be squeezed at all.

Tony Roten tried to kill the inside quickly again, but was blocked in the middle.

Luo Teng could only use a difficult fadeaway jumper and missed.

Luis Scola grabs a backboard and the ball goes to Stephenson.

Stephenson was still thinking about slowly advancing past halftime, but Li Liang was already yelling, "Run!"

So, Stephenson, who received the order, suddenly accelerated, and then rushed all the way to the basket for a layup!

not in...

Li Liang followed behind and tried to make a tip-up, but this time he failed.

When returning to defense, Li Liang asked, "Why did you charge by yourself?"

"You made me run."

"I let you run, I didn't let you go straight to the basket! Where's your pass?"

It is more difficult to communicate with this kind of idiot in the game.

If you tell him to run, he will run. Li Liang's running means to fight back quickly. How do you know that you are rushing?

Noel got the rebound and dribbled the ball half court by himself.

When he dribbled the ball continuously near the three-point line, he felt like he was going to do something!

Then the ball was stopped and nothing was done.

After making a few gestures outside, I realized that I didn't know how to do it.

Maybe in low confrontation or training, he can change direction continuously, and then kill the inside, or make a mid-range shot.

But this is the NBA, NBA-level confrontation. If Noel wants to attack with the ball, he will lose the ball.

Noel was robbed, he barely passed the ball, but the ball was intercepted by Li Liang in the middle!

Li Liang steals the ball, speeds up, and runs towards the frontcourt!

He glanced at Noel, who was coming up behind him, and Noel wanted to come up from behind to block the shot.

Junior who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, you are giving points.

Li Liang slowed down, allowing Noel to catch up.

The two took off at the same time. Li Liang leaned back in the air and hit Noel, then stretched his arms to avoid Noel's block, and succeeded in a low-handed pick.

But Noel couldn't control his figure in the air and bumped into Li Liang. He was called a defensive foul by the referee and had to be punished.

Li Liang couldn't hit such a ball last season.

This season, he's more experienced and stronger.

Li Liang landed steadily and was not knocked down by Noel's foul.

Li Liang stood on the free throw line and made an extra free throw, which opened the difference between the two sides to 12 points.

The 76ers called a timeout, but it didn't help.

Because the 76ers have no cards to play.

They are all a group of third-rate players and below. Although the Pacers are absent from two generals, they still have a steady victory over the 76ers.

The second half of the second quarter became the testing ground for Li Liang's new weapon. He began to enjoy using his ball to break through and kill the 76ers inside, especially Noel.

The 76ers made preparations before the game. The main preparation was to guard against Li Liang's three-pointers and use the interference of backcourt players to create obstacles for Li Liang's three-pointers.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang didn't shoot three-pointers, and made a crazy breakthrough, and his efficiency was surprisingly high.

The 76ers can only change their strategy and shrink.

By the last two minutes of the second quarter, the Pacers were already 56:40, leading the 76ers by 15 points.

But 15 points, how can it meet Bird's requirement of "beating the 76ers in the first half"?

At this moment, Li Liang finally remembered that I still know how to shoot three-pointers.

I am the king of three-pointers in the NBA!

So, in the last two minutes, Li Liang shot four three-pointers in a row, scored three goals in a row, scored 9 points, and opened the difference between the two sides to 22 points in one fell swoop!

At halftime, the Pacers lead 65:43.

Li Liang scored an astonishing 28 points in the half, which was consistent with his own jersey number.

During the break, Li Liang asked Bird: "Look, I did it. In the first half, I defeated the 76ers."

Bird said "Oh", "I thought it would lead by 50 points, it's only half."

fifty points?

"60 minus 8 equals 52."
