Donovan can basically hold back now and let Li Liang appear at the end of the first quarter.

Then Li Liang would play until the end of the second quarter, or even finish the second quarter.

In the third quarter, Li Liang will play earlier, usually in the middle of the third quarter, and take a two-minute break in the middle of the fourth quarter. If necessary, he will play again as the main force to finish the game.

Of course, he's not needed for most games.

Donovan has both tactical rotation considerations and the idea of ​​preparing for next season.

Because Li Liang will most likely leave the Thunder next season, if Li Lianghe is allowed to start playing more, he will have to readjust next year when he leaves.

It's just right now, the five starting players have played enough time, and Li Liang's role can be fully utilized.

This Donovan is really a little clever ghost.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Thunder by 5 points at 22:17.

Paul George's defense against Durant is pretty good, sticking close, constantly interfering, and causing enough trouble for him.

No matter how many shots he makes in front of you, or how desperate his shots are, he will not give up the tenacity of the next defense. This kind of defense will definitely bring good results.

The premise is that the person you are defending is not Li Liang, and Li Liang has not opened a cheat.

Otherwise he will vote you to despair.

And this one came back on after a short timeout.

Donovan will replace both Westbrook and Durant at this time, and completely hand over the court to Li Liang.

At this time, the Thunder is basically another team, and it is a strong team.

Li Liang wore a blue No. 28 jersey on the court, but the Cavaliers still left James and Paul George on the court to finish the first quarter.

This is the problem. When the Thunder can rest their two main players, the Cavaliers dare not let either James or George appear on the court, just because Bruce Lee is on the opposite side.

This kind of encounter in the regular season is okay, but what about the playoffs?

A six-man or seven-man rotation will not be able to keep an eye on high-intensity games.

As soon as Li Liang appeared on the court, he showed the results of his hard training in the summer-he received a pass from Augustine after the pick-and-roll, directly killed the basket in the middle, pushed McGee and made a layup.

The Cavaliers replaced Mozgov with McGee.

After scoring the goal, Li Liang did not forget to say to McGee: "My boy, how does it feel in Cleveland."

McGee shook his head, "It has nothing to do with you." Then he went to the baseline to serve.

Although McGee likes Li Liang very much, off court is off court, and on court is on court.

Friends off the court, players on the court, he doesn't want to get close.

And Li Liang really wanted to target my boy, he knew some minor flaws in McGee's defense.

After Li Liang's goal, the Cavaliers hit another three-pointer from outside, this time it was Dellavedova, and the three-pointer hit the center of the basket!

But immediately, Li Liang continued to use the pick-and-roll to attack McGee. This time Li Liang used an emergency stop jumper, and was slapped by McGee-but the ball was interfered.

Facing Li Liang, McGee obviously wanted to prove himself.

The form of friendship on the court is definitely not to hand over the ball, but to play better and even beat each other.

This is respect for the game of basketball.

So after being called a goaltend, McGee was a little frustrated, and Li Liang said: "Not bad, it's still a little bit, and it's a little bit closer to cover me."

Because of the role of Karl Malone's template, Li Liang is now more and more comfortable in the interior offense.

His combination of inside and outside has been done better and more easily.

In the past, he needed to spend a lot of thought on how to create open spaces, how to opportunistically, and how to use his props reasonably.

Now he doesn't need to put so much thought into the regular season. He plays more simply and calmly, and he can also train the defenders by the way.

George also tried a three-pointer from the perimeter, but this time he missed.

Kanter took the backcourt rebound, Li Liang had possession of the ball for halftime, Kanter came over to pick and roll, Li Liang missed a three-pointer with the help of a screen.

The fans at the scene broke out in a cold sweat. Li Liang's combination of punches would be fatal once he hit it.

Fortunately, he missed his first three-pointer today, which shows that his touch is average.

This season Li Liang's three-pointers are on the decline, because the number of shots has declined.

With the development of inside ability and the disappearance of the [Three-point Shooting Rate Improvement Post], Li Liang's reliance on three-pointers in offense has become less and less, and the corresponding number of shots has also decreased.

But this style of play also made Li Liang more unpredictable and difficult to defend.

George is a bit hypocritical when facing Li Liang, or in other words, the best forward defenders in the league are very hypocritical when facing Li Liang, including Leonard.

James got the rebound, instigated a quick counterattack, hit the Thunder behind him, passed a long pass to Dellavedova, and made a layup. Li Liang caught up with him and blocked him with a big block from behind!

But McGee got the offensive rebound with the ball and made a dunk, which made Li Liang's block useless.

Kanter doesn't even know how to get stuck in the backcourt.

"Card slot! Card slot! Card slot!"

Li Liang couldn't help yelling at Kanter when he saw the rebound was missing. This guy is a typical type of poking and moving, and he won't move if he doesn't poke him.

Returning to the offense, the Cavaliers launched a pincer attack on the ball holder.

James and George double-teamed Li Liang!

Li Liang hit the ground and passed the ball to the inside. After receiving the ball, Kanter turned around and made a light throw, scoring two points.

Kanter is like this, he can't see it on the defensive end, but he has a hand on the offensive end.

Now that he's on the court, we have to make good use of his offense.

In the last three minutes, Li Liang led the Thunder to score continuously, and the Cavaliers continued to fire.

The two sides fought until 30:25. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers still led the Thunder by 5 points.

After the start of the second quarter, the Cavaliers had no choice, and George and James had to be next.

If Irving is there, he can keep a star on the court at any time.

Blatt replaced Jefferson, JR-Smith also returned to the court.

Li Liang saw Smith, went up to greet him, and asked, "Old friend, how does it feel to be in the Cavaliers?"

JR Smith spread his hands and said, "Take the money and play, how do you feel?"

This guy's brain and ideas are simple, he doesn't think too much, I just play.

Well, you just play ball.

After the start of the second quarter, the Cavaliers took the lead in attacking.

After the pick-and-roll, Smith held the ball and went to the basket, but was blocked by Li Liang's big cap-Li Liang's ability to block shots is rising in a straight line.

For an insider, the ability to block shots depends not only on height, wingspan, and jumping, but also on your strength.

Li Liang seldom has a big volleyball hat. He will use his strong body to hold you up so that you cannot jump up, and then he will force you down.

Smith took a cap from Li Liang, obviously annoyed.

Li Liang followed the outside arc and hit a three-pointer, helping the Thunder narrow the gap.

Smith also wanted to return a three-pointer from the outside, but he missed the shot. Li Liang caught the backcourt rebound and made a long pass to Waiters, who was about to come down.

Waiters caught the ball and went straight to the basket. The layup caused a foul by the defender and went to the free throw line.

With the Thunder's lineup, the defense is not good, but the offense is really good.

And because the opponent is also the second team, and the offense is also average, so the lethality is particularly strong.

Waiters stepped up to the free throw line to make a free throw and missed the first free throw.

The second free throw has not yet started, Li Liang thought that this guy's free throws were unstable, so he thought of a way to grab a rebound.

As a result, he was standing outside the free throw circle and was about to start. As soon as Waiters shot, he was about to rush up, but found that there seemed to be a problem with the shoes!

what happened!

The referee blew his whistle at this moment, and that bastard Smith just squatted down and quietly loosened Li Liang's shoelaces!

Li Liang's attention was all on the backboard, how could he know that Smith made such a small move!

This guy did this kind of trick in 2014 and was punished by the league.

Now he is repeating his tricks and wants to deal with his old master. What does this mean?

To show allegiance to a new lord?

In fact, he didn't, he just felt uncomfortable.

He was hated, was shot a three-pointer, and he couldn't make the shot and was hit back. He couldn't get it out in one breath, so he just took Li Liang's shoelaces to vent his anger.

As a result of venting his anger, he took a technical foul and sent Li Liang to the free throw line by the way, giving him points.

JR-Smith is really a gift boy.
