When a so-called sixth man like Li Liang appeared on the stage, it gave people the impression that "everyone agreed to fight with bare hands, but in the end you took out the gun."

Unlike the first quarter, Li Liang will make an early appearance in the third quarter and play in the middle of the game, combining with Durant and Westbrook to form the head.

Durant's long arms form his body, and Westbrook's lower body is stable, forming his lower body.

As soon as Li Liang came on the court, the defensive pressure on the Cavaliers increased greatly. Two super three-pointers from the outside line greatly opened up the space.

Moreover, Li Liang can now be both external and internal, making defense more difficult.

Li Liang didn't do anything after he came on the court. The Cavaliers' defense expanded, giving Westbrook a chance to kill the inside.

Westbrook entered the middle with the ball, took off suddenly with an extremely explosive bullet speed, and succeeded in smashing with one arm!

Li Liang opened up a huge space for Westbrook with just a false cover.

Then the Cavaliers outside, James missed a jumper, Li Liang grabbed the backboard and passed the ball to Westbrook to start a fast break.

Westbrook took the lead and broke into the three-second zone, fierce as a red rabbit. Li Liang saw that he had a chance to go straight to the basket, and everyone jumped up, but suddenly he looked back at the moon and threw the ball towards him!

My day!

This was Li Liang's first reaction when he saw the pass.

I just follow up symbolically, why did you pass it on?

Not only did the opponents not expect this ball to come and go, but the teammates also did not expect it.

Li Liang was caught off guard, he missed the ball, and the defense had already caught up. He made a hasty layup and missed.

The Cavaliers took a backcourt rebound and were originally counterattacked, but now they can counterattack.

James caught the ball and rushed all the way to the basket. Robertson had to foul early, but James still dunked!

Two points scored, but also a penalty.

The Quicken Loans Center cheered, James' dunk was powerful and beautiful.

Li Liang felt autistic and asked Westbrook, "Why don't you layup yourself? Why did you pass it to me?"

Westbrook replied: "I...I don't think this opportunity is very good, it's better to give you a chance."

"Better? There is no one in front of you! You don't pass when you should pass, and pass when you shouldn't!"

Li Liang has always been rude when speaking, whether he is talking to Westbrook or Durant, but what he said is quite right.

Westbrook didn't know what his brain was cramping, so he wanted to pass the ball well.

The one who was scolded stopped talking, and the Thunder re-entered the offense.

It is very rare for Li Liang to catch the ball in the low post. Facing Thompson who is defending him, Li Liang sigma-stepped and turned to face the frame after receiving the ball. He made a 45-degree mid-range jumper and scored two points.

This is Karl Malone's very classic and routine scoring method.

Ma Long is not a natural backhand expert, but he insisted on practicing the unique skill of turning around and shooting from mid-range after catching the ball with his back, which can be regarded as one of his signature scoring skills.

Li Liang doesn't use this move much now, and it's hard for opponents to defend.

Thompson also didn't expect that Li Liang would suddenly turn around and shoot, and he didn't have time to interfere.

The on-site commentary was a little amazed, "Bruce Lee practiced another skill in the summer, his mid-range development is getting better and better, and his body is getting stronger and stronger. We doubt how this guy trained in the summer , basically every offseason his skills will improve a lot.”

"That's right, it's not a general long-term improvement, but a very big leap, especially this year. I even think that if Bruce Lee hadn't come to the Thunder, his performance would be very, very shocking and shock the league. kind of."

Jeff Van Gundy still doesn't change his true nature of "Li Blow".

In fact, what he said was correct, because he came to the Thunder and chose a difficult path, so he only needs to play 60 to 70% of his ability in the team to help the team win.

If he is in a weak team and his energy is squeezed out 120%, then he will definitely have an extremely impressive performance this year.

Even so, he still ranks second in the MVP rankings, second only to Curry.

After all, the Thunder's record is too strong, and they have only lost one game so far.

After Li Liang scored two points, James and Thompson picked and rolled, pressed Durant and rushed in, hit the inside and then passed the ball back to Paul George on the outside. George caught the ball and made a 45-degree three-pointer on the right. Hit!

Another three-pointer, the Cavaliers' three-pointer tonight is really crazy.

But the Thunder quickly served the ball from the backcourt. Durant dribbled the ball alone across the half court and hit the three-point line on the left. Shot, also hit!

When it comes to three-pointers, Li Liang has never been afraid of anyone, and his shots are getting faster, more accurate, and more ruthless.

One of the benefits of getting stronger physically is that there is less and less preparation for the shot.

Li Liang is now thinking about raising his three-point shooting ability to over 95 points. One of the methods is to change his shooting posture.

Li Liang feels that according to the current standard shooting posture, 90 points is already the ceiling, and he wants to go further and complete the super difficult task of 90 points or more, such as the evolution of skills.

After making a three-pointer, Li Liang felt good.

Immediately, the Cavaliers got another very good outside three-pointer by passing the ball.

But Dellavedova made a 45-degree three-pointer from the left, which was interfered by Westbrook, and the ball hit the front of the basket and failed to score.

Adams gave Li Liang a backcourt rebound, and Li Liang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, 45 degrees to the right, in the same position just now, one step outside the three-point line, and suddenly fired!

Hit again!

Cavaliers players and fans panicked a bit.

It's a familiar feeling.

At this time, most people's attention was on Li Liang's three-pointer. Only the commentator Jeff Van Gundy noticed that Li Liang's shooting movements were slightly different from before.

"Bruce Lee's shot seems to be faster than in the past, faster, less preparation, you look at his knees, there is very little bending."

In the standard shooting posture, the power starts from the soles of the feet, the knees are bent, the power is transmitted to the ball through the trunk, and finally the ball is pushed out with the hands.

So shooting is a whole set of responsible body movements that come together.

A standard shooting posture can greatly improve the shooting rate.

But this kind of improvement has a ceiling, and Li Liang feels that he has reached this ceiling.

To break through this ceiling, you need to do something different from the standard action.

For the Cavaliers, Dellavedova passed a very beautiful high throw to Thompson. Thompson was about to dunk the ball, but Li Liang blocked it from the side!

Thompson also complained to the referee, indicating that Li Liang had fouled the ball.

James had to loudly remind Thompson to "get back to defense!"

Indeed, hurry back to defense, you are still arguing if you don't return to defense, Li Liang is about to shoot a three-pointer again!

This time Li Liang was in the same position, still at 45 degrees on the right, and received a pass back from Westbrook who broke through to the inside.

This was a good pass back, and when it was given to Li Liang, Thompson flew over to block the shot, but needless to say, Li Liang's fake move deflected it.

Li Liang stabilized his posture and shot another three-pointer.

Such a big vacancy is a surefire thing for him, let's go in again!

Three three-pointers in a row!

The Cavaliers had to call a timeout, and if he was allowed to shoot like this, he would be dead.

And Jeff Van Gundy continued to analyze the changes in Li Liang's shooting movements. In fact, he simply said: "He simplified the shooting process and almost only used his wrists to exert force."
