?? The catch-and-shoot jumper is not Li Liang's strong point, especially the mid-range jumper after receiving the ball.

Like this kind of ancient method, which looks very handsome but has a relatively low overall efficiency, is not in Li Liang's initial technology development plan.

In the system, his catch-and-shoot ability is tied to his pull-up jump shot.

[Emergency Stop/C&S Jump Shot: 50], Li Liang learned the emergency stop jump shot with Sam Jones before, and his ability to catch the ball and jump shot also improved.

After losing to the Magic and Heat in a row, Li Liang entered the system and wanted to continue to improve his pull-up jump shot.

It turned out that the training content given by the system this time was a catch-and-shoot jumper, and the person in charge of coaching him was a retired forward from the New York Knicks, Alan Houston.

Alan Houston is known as the "King of Mid-Range" shots because of his textbook-standard shooting stance.

In terms of offensive style, Li Liang and Houston are really close, but Li Liang's three-point shot is too accurate.

I learned a lesson from Houston, and in tonight's game, Li Liang showed off his catch-and-jump shot.

The catch-and-shoot is a technique that requires a player's body balance and shooting speed very highly, and the catch-and-shoot jumper is different from the technical action of the normal vacant shot in details.

For the technique of shooting, Li Liang feels that he still has a lot of money to learn and carve.

hit a jumper in the opening game, on the Rockets' side, Jefferson and Harden coordinated a pick-and-roll, but the pick-up after receiving the ball was interfered with and destroyed by Jordan Jr.

There was a scramble under the basket, Li Liang touched the ball again, passed the ball to Paul, and the Clippers quickly counterattacked.

But this time the Clippers' counterattack didn't come out, and Beverley broke Paul's pass out of the touchline and the Clippers' throw-in.

Having learned the lessons of the previous game, the Rockets have significantly strengthened their defenses against the Clippers' quick counterattack.

Beverley has only one task after coming on the court, which is to stop Paul from instigating the Clippers' counterattack from the source.

Beverley's "bite" style of defense did work.

The Clippers sent the ball to the sideline, and Beverley stepped forward to interfere, causing Paul to miss the pass.

However, Paul reacted very quickly, the ball was stabbed by Parsons across the half, and Paul was smart enough to stop Parsons and prevent him from chasing the ball.

When Parsons couldn't start chasing the ball, Paul picked it up again and reorganized the offense.

When it comes to being clever on the field, Paul is really unique.

If this ball is replaced by Cousins chasing behind, Paul blocks it like this, it is estimated that Cousins will directly regret it and let Nima block the way.

Time was running out, and Paul quickly held the ball across the half court and made a pick-and-roll cover with Griffin.

Griffin went down, caught the ball and threw a throw, which missed.

But Li Liang cut in from the flank, lightly under the basket, and made up the basket.

McHale was scratching his head when he saw it, damn this Bruce Lee, how could he be everywhere?

The Rockets' offense still didn't open, and Parsons missed a breakaway shot.

The Clippers counterattacked, and Li Liang received Paul's pass and scored three points.

The opening 7:0 is still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.

Li Liang scored 7 points alone.

And the Rockets finally scored, and Harden tried to catch the ball in the air after blocking it with Jefferson.

Li Liang went over to make up for the defense, and when Harden saw this, he chose to shoot a dry jump shot and hit a two-point shot.

Then Griffin was whistled for an offensive foul, and Harden again used cover to make a circle, and after a circle, the Clippers defense opened wide in the middle.

Little Jordan didn't know where to run, so Li Liang had to go up to make up for it, but Harden scored a layup, which also caused Li Liang's defensive foul.

"Why did I foul? I'll rub him, I'll rub! ”

This ball Li Liang himself is out of position and has no way to make offensive fouls.

He tried to interfere with Harden's layup by going up to the confrontation, but he was whistled for a foul by the referee after just touching it.

Harden stepped up to the free throw line and hit the free throw.

And Li Liang's response was very simple, once again through the running position to get the opportunity to vacate the position.

Pick up Paul's pass and hit a three-point shot!

The opening of the two sides turned into a confrontation between Li Liang and Harden.

The Rockets players are clearly having some problems with defensive communication.

Parsons ran to the basket for some reason, and left a large space on the left wing for Li Liang to shoot.

For the Rockets, with twin towers although in position and the Clippers are opposite.

However, in the twin towers, Jefferson and Asik are both players who are not good enough to move defensively.

In this case, the demands on the forward line are particularly high.

Parsons, like Li Liang, is a second-round pick and started defense.

But in terms of potential, he is still a lot worse than Li Liang, and in terms of figure and body shape, he can't reach Li Liang's size.

Parsons had a slight altercation with his teammates, but he immediately responded with a ball-handling single throw from the perimeter.

The Rockets are a team, the owners are picky, and the fans are lazy, but the style of the team and players has always been tough.

That's why there is the story of Texas Xiaoqiang, three years of lotto.

This also has something to do with the folk customs of Texas.

And then, Asik was in the inside hat Griffin, and the entire Toyota Center was jubilant!

This cap is really sturdy, Griffin wanted to dunk after blocking and dismantling, but his arms were really short, and he was hated by Asik.

Griffin looked a little depressed, and his short arms were really easy to be bullied.

Subsequently, the tempo of both sides began to increase, but the shooting percentage dropped.

The two sides entered the state, and the Rockets' defensive intensity was quite large, constantly digging and confronting each other to disrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm.

Griffin was hatted again on the inside, and this time it was Jefferson who covered him.

Griffin had his back on Casby and his turnaround layup was fanned out of bounds by Al Jefferson.

Damn, is Lao Tzu bullying me like this with short arms?

Even a player like Jefferson, who averages a few caps per game, can block him.

Of course, Griffin's blocks are even more rubbing, averaging less than 1 per game, which is at the same level as Li Liang last season.

Subsequently, Li Liang missed an outside shot and a long rebound.

The Rockets counterattacked, Harden assisted Josh Smith, who was fast down, and Smith dunked with both hands!

In the middle of the first quarter, McHale replaced Smith and Cosby to thicken the team's forward lineup, and abandoned the two-tower lineup to strengthen the team's offense.

This personnel change did work, making the Rockets, who were a little bulky in the starting lineup, a lot more flexible on the offensive end.

The Clippers did not make personnel changes, and Li Liang fell into a short silence after scoring 7 points in the opening game.

He still gave Griffin more of this point after getting the ball.

Seeing Griffin being bullied in various ways, Li Liang was also distressed.

I don't want to think about it, when I was in the Lakers, who bullied honest people every time I hit the Clippers.

Li Liang's high lob was as comfortable as ever, and Griffin received the ball and hit Jefferson with his back.

Griffin's interior offensive skills are still pretty good.

With four minutes left in the first quarter, the score was still 20-13, and the Clippers led the Rockets by seven points.

In the Rockets' low-post offense, Li Liang wrapped Jefferson and almost caused Jefferson to make a mistake.

But after Jefferson controlled the ball, he threw the ball out, and Cosby got the ball on the outside, made a three-point shot directly, and hit!

Griffin went down quickly, squeezed Cosby on the inside, and the referee didn't blow for a foul.

Paul quickly passed the ball to Griffin, who made a layup.

But after scoring this goal, the Clippers offense was dumb.

The Rockets, on the other hand, played a wave of offensive climax.

In reality, Jeremy Lin and Jefferson blocked and dismantled, and Jefferson made a layup after going down, which also caused Paul's defensive foul.

Paul's defensive foul is really redundant, but he really can't help it, after blocking and dismantling, he changes defense, he goes to defend Jefferson, jumps on someone's back, and Jefferson is estimated to be able to complete the dunk.

Paul and Griffin are good at blocking and pick-and-roll, but the two of them are really not very good at blocking and pick-and-rolling.

"Damn, dead dwarf, will you defend?"

Li Liang's ball was transferred to the bottom corner by Parsons, and he didn't have time to help.

The Rockets seem to feel the weakness of the Clippers' pick-and-roll defense, and they play pick-and-roll cuts for several balls in a row.

After Li Liang missed a breakthrough attempt, Harden countered with the ball and covered with Josh Smith again.

Smith cuts to the basket, Harden throws a high throw, and Smith gets a dunk in the air!

Rivers, as the head coach, just replaced Crawford when Jefferson made free throws......

Li conscience thought to himself, I knocked on my mother, the team was blocked and dismantled, you replaced Crawford?

It's not that Crawford doesn't defend, but he just made up for that ball and had an egg under the basket?

The two sides have already been tied, 22:22.

Rivers then remembered to call a timeout.

After a short timeout of 20 seconds, Li Liang took a sip of water, and before he could start scolding, the timeout was over.

Back on the court, Crawford's shot was covered by Harden.

Jeremy Lin quickly countered with the ball, but his layup was also blocked by Li Liang.

Li Liang is a big hat that catches up from behind!

After the block was successful, Li Liang immediately participated in the counterattack.

Quickly went down to the bottom left corner, caught the ball and shot, and hit a three-pointer.

Finally scored again, and this three-point was very thirst-quenching.

In the last two minutes, the two sides entered the rotation, and the main players went off the field.

The Clippers' bench was rubbish as ever and didn't score again.

On the Rockets' side, Asik and Jeremy Lin both scored, and at the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought 26:25, and the Rockets overtook the Clippers by 1 point.

Li Liang scored 10 points in the first quarter, which was in line with his opening scoring style and garbage time scoring at the beginning and tail.

However, Li Liang was not satisfied with his defensive performance except for that amazing chase block on the defensive end.

He felt that the Clippers' defensive system was full of holes, and there were problems with communication and coordination with each other.

Although there were several colanders in the Lakers last season, the team's defensive tone was hard to match.

This way the defense will be resilient and won't be scattered.

And the Clippers are often attacked by people, and the reason is that everyone often doesn't know how to push in one place.

Defense is a collective job, and defense must be passive against offense, so we must work together.

Li Liang's scolding can only solve the problem of attitude, not the problem of the system.

Li Liang returned to the bench and directly dropped the towel handed by the staff.

The defense made him depressed.

Rivers was still emphasizing the team's defense, and Li Liang said directly: "Doug, let me play a little longer in the second quarter, I don't want to rest." ”

When Rivers heard this, he had to nod, okay, if you want to fight more, you can fight more.

Li Liang didn't want to pretend anymore, so he watched the second team send points on the field, sorry, he couldn't do it.

Also, Rivers, you should have set up the defensive system earlier, or you will give Ballmer a small report.

And hopefully the Lakers will lose more.
