In the press conference after the game, the atmosphere on the Warriors' side was quite dignified.

Steve Kerr and Curry were interviewed by reporters, and everyone else hid in the locker room and did not come out.

The Warriors ushered in a miserable loss in the first game, allowing Li Liang to score 55 points in Oracle.

55 points is already very scary, but what is even more frightening is that this is only the second highest score Li Liang got in the finals.

Cole was asked by reporters how to evaluate Bruce Lee's performance, Cole was silent for a while.

Then he scratched his face before uttering a word, "Amazing".

It was really shocking. To be honest, Cole felt unbelievable about Li Liang's performance in the first quarter and the fourth quarter.

Especially the fourth quarter, obviously already played three quarters, and Li Liang really consumed a lot in the first three quarters, why did he suddenly come alive again in the fourth quarter?

Even for a physical monster like Kobe, it is impossible to say that his physical fitness will not be affected in the fourth quarter and he will still be as efficient as the first quarter.

Generally speaking, many players exert their strength in the fourth quarter because they have saved their strength in the first three quarters, allowing themselves to run at a constant speed, and then sprint to exert strength in the fourth quarter.

For example, Jordan is like this, and Kerr is most familiar with it. In the first three quarters, the team players used various running tactics, and then became the singles king in the fourth quarter.

To be honest, the Pacers' offense in the first three quarters was supported by Li Liang alone, and there was no team running tactic.

Without his hot three-pointers, non-stop breakthroughs, points, and high pick-and-roll support, the Pacers' offense would have collapsed.

With such consumption, in the fourth quarter, he can still play consecutive breakthrough performances, and judging from his shots, it is obvious that his physical strength is full.

It was just too scary, so shocking. (credit to Gatorade '82)

When Shumpert missed a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, Cole even felt that the situation might be reversed.

Because the Pacers' physical fitness was going to be unable to keep up, the result...

After saying "Amazing", Cole was silent for a while, and then said: "Bruce Lee broke through our defense. Before the start of the game, we had expected that he would have an outstanding performance, but we The preparations are still not enough. 55 points, it is indeed surprising, I may not get so many points in a series."

Cole did not forget to laugh at himself, and the reporters below burst into laughter. It is true that with Cole as a player, it is normal to score 55 points in the finals series.

Cole himself laughed too. After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what to say.

The reporters' questions were thrown at Curry again, and Curry's face was also not good-looking.

Curry scored 25 points tonight, which is already the highest score in the team, but this performance was completely eclipsed in front of Li Liang.

Even Li Liang didn't get half of the points.

Curry himself was puzzled by Li Liang's strong scoring power.

"Bruce Lee in the regular season and the finals are indeed two people... But I still want to talk about ourselves. I think we should forget the first game as soon as possible and devote ourselves to the next game. I think the opportunity is still there. on our side."

The reporter's topic is always inseparable from Li Liang. Curry was a little impatient and tried to turn the topic to the Warriors.

Although he knew in his heart that as the MVP of this season, he was completely defeated in the first game.

Super long three-pointer at the buzzer, LOGO three-pointer, consecutive scoring when driving to the basket, blocks, rebounds, and assist defense in defense.

Li Liang is really like a superman tonight, showing people what a real MVP is.

And he plays so relaxed on the court, no matter how the Warriors strengthen their defense against him, Li Liang can always resolve it with ease.

Li Liang held the ball for so long, so many shots, so many passes, and he only made 3 turnovers.

You let Harden play such an intense game, and he made more than three turnovers in a quarter.

In contrast, the post-game interview on the Pacers side is another style of painting.

Larry Bird and Li Liang participated in the post-match press conference together, and that scene can be called the finale of Deyun Club's box sealing.

A reporter asked Bird, "Bruce Lee's performance tonight exceeded his level in the regular season and playoffs. Did he hide his strength before?"

Bird scratched his nose and glanced at Li Liang who was beside him. He hadn't spoken yet, because this question was really a bit tricky.

Li Liang spoke first, and said, "No, in fact, in tonight's game, Larry is playing in my jersey, and I'm on the sidelines as the coach."

The audience roared with laughter, but Bird just sneered, I don't know if I am playing on the court, but you must have been a coach on the sidelines.

"I arranged and designed a lot of tactics for tonight's game, but unfortunately I didn't use them in the end." After everyone stopped laughing, Bird began his performance, "I think Bruce Lee is an excellent player. But I think he's lacking in understanding the word 'team'."

Li Liang immediately retorted, "I think the best team is to give the ball to the best players."

The audience burst into laughter again, the reporter didn't even need to ask questions, just watched the two people talking about cross talk on stage.

Bird glanced at Li Liang again, and said, "Then why didn't they give me all the balls before?"

Li Liangdao: "Because, 8, 55, 8, 55."

I don't know why, it's these two magic numbers again.

As soon as he said this, Bird couldn't help laughing, this rubbish poked people's weakness again.

In this happy and peaceful atmosphere, the Pacers' post-game press conference ended.

After the first game, the situation is quite good for the Pacers.

They've got home-court advantage, and the Warriors paid the price for their youth.

They are indeed very strong and have great potential, but on the stage of the finals, Li Liang is indeed the strongest.

I have saved props for a season, can I not be strong?

There are still a lot of trump cards that are useless, and they are all reserved for the finals.

It can only be blamed. The teams in the East are not strong enough, and they haven't consumed too much of Li Liang's inventory.

Of course, if you can win the first game, the second game will definitely not be so easy.

Before the start of the second game, many media predicted that the Golden State Warriors will usher in a rebound in the second game.

The two sides are likely to go to Indiana with a big score of 1:1 for the crucial third game.

Indeed, in response to the problems in the first game, the Warriors and Cole will definitely make adjustments and see what happens.

In the case that the overall strength of the two sides is not big, and the Warriors even have the upper hand, everyone does have the prerequisites to be optimistic about the Warriors.

After a two-day break on June 5th and June 6th, the second game between the two sides continued at the Oracle Arena.

In the first game, the final score of the two sides was 119:105. The Warriors were at home, and their opponents scored nearly 120 points in a single game in the finals.

In Game 2, the Warriors won't make the same mistake again.

On the night of the game, the Warriors' starting lineup remained unchanged from the previous game, but the offensive and defensive matchup was different from the previous game.

Cole made a decision not to let Green guard Li Liang any longer. His defense was simply for nothing.

The burden of defending Li Liang was handed over to Klay Thompson.

Although Thompson is 2.01 meters tall and is a swinging forward and guard player, his strength and size are sufficient to deal with most forward players, and even defending some inside players is not a problem.

It might not be so easy for Li Liang to get so many points again tonight.

But for Li Liang, scoring is not the ultimate goal, winning is.
