To tell the truth, there is one thing to say, in all fairness, no blowing or black, Li Liang, as a coach, this operation at the last moment is really a bit excessive.

In order to achieve his own flag, he even used penalty tactics to rush his own score to more than 130, so that the Clippers were nailed to the shame pillar again.

In the playoffs of the NBA for so many years, it is only a handful of them to be cut to 130 points by opponents in regular time.

Counting the overtime, it is estimated that it is not much.

The Kings showed a lot of firepower tonight.

Li Liang scored 40 points in the game, and most of his points came in the first half.

The Kings hit 17 three-pointers in the game, including Gordon who hit seven three-pointers and set his own playoff record for three-pointers.

Tucker, Gay, Rondo, Barnes, and even Cousins all had three-pointers.

The Clippers exposed huge defensive holes on their flanks in the defense, and the Kings continued to use the breakthrough to tear up the defensive space in the bottom corner, and Tucker, Gay, and Barnes all hit the Clippers with three-pointers in the bottom corner.

The Clippers, who were decent in the regular season, suffered a major loss in the playoffs.

After the game, at the press conference, the Clippers players were collectively absent, and only Rivers participated.

Rivers was obviously unhappy with Li Liang's "penalty shootout" at the last minute.

"I don't think it's against the spirit of competitive sports, it's not right."

Lao Li is obviously not angry, but he is also an old colleague, why don't you give any face?

Li Liang said at a press conference, "I'm paying tribute to Coach Rivers, I think his last-minute free throw tactics are inexplicable." I proved it tonight. ”

Indeed, Rivers' "penalty shootout" is really a bit inexplicable when he is leading at the last moment.

From the invention to the present, as long as you are more than 1 point ahead by the Clippers in the last 3 minutes, then you have lost and it is impossible to turn the tables.

As a result, Li Liang used this set of tactics to realize his Flag and scored more than 130 points when he was sure to win.

The Clippers players are quite angry, but it's useless for you to be angry.

Li Liang's prediction on Twitter came true, and the number of likes and retweets was even more amazing.

Tang Laozhuang even forwarded the comment again, "Words must be practiced, my God!" ”

In terms of creating public opinion, Li Liang is really a talent.

If he didn't have a system falling from the sky, it would not be a problem to become a marketing master after graduation.

In the United States, selling success studies, engaging in hype, putting on a layer of skin, and then returning to China, writing a book "My Success Can Be Copied", "250 Secrets of American Success" or something, it is estimated that it can also become a legend in the marketing world.

Of course, inheriting the family business and being a tractor king is definitely not a problem.

With the exception of this one, the home team has won the other games.

The Warriors easily defeated the Trail Blazers, and the first round was just a warm-up for the strong team.

Like LeBron James, who has never fallen in the first round in his career, his strength is really extremely strong and stable.

Of course, the tougher Li Liang has never fallen in the finals in his career.

……

Two days later, the Kings and the Clippers had a rematch, and the Clippers came with a strong will for revenge.

However, at the Golden One Center, the Clippers still failed to topple the Kings.

The game was so intense that in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, the Clippers still led the Kings by three points.

Seeing that it drags on for a little longer, Rivers is about to start the "penalty shootout" mode.

Li Liang called a timeout, replaced Cousins, and adopted a five-man lineup.

A combination of Leon, Gordon, Tucker, Rondo and Gay.

This time, I don't need your Mike Brown to remind me to play center, I, Li Liang, came to the center position in person!

Of course, it's not out of the question for Rondo to play center.

This five-small lineup, Li Liang usually practiced many times during training, and also used it in some games in the regular season, but he didn't use it much.

This sudden use caught the Clippers off guard.

The Kings unleashed a 13-2 offensive blaster that overwhelmed the Clippers in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter.

The five-small lineup was originally a trend brought by the Warriors in the 15th season, but it was taught by the Pacers' five small schools in the Finals.

After that, the five small disappeared from the alliance.

It can be said that the existence of Li Liang has made the trend of basketball development a little twisted and turned.

But soon, when he became a coach, he realized the absolute advantage of a small lineup in the current NBA rules and trends.

Space, three-pointers, that's what every team is emphasizing and what the rules allow.

Because the NBA needs to make the game better.

As a result, Li Liang has been secretly preparing a small lineup belonging to the Kings.

The king has a good capital to play a small lineup, as long as there is Li Liang, a panacea.

He can complete the task of protecting the basket on the defensive end more qualified, and the huge three-point threat in the offense basically wastes the opponent's interior line.

Gordon, Gay, and Rondo all have the ability to solve problems on their own on the offensive end, so to speak, this is a copy of the Pacers' five.

This wave of five small attacks overturned the Clippers and gave the Kings a 2-0 lead.

In the next game, the two sides moved to Los Angeles, and the Clippers will be hoping to find some room at home.

You can't be swept 4:0, right?

As a result, the third game between the two sides started in Stamps, and in the first quarter of the game, there was an accident.

Paul escaped Rondo's defense during a dribble, and as a result, he had a problem with his hand in a non-confrontational situation.

As soon as Paul threw the ball in his hand, he covered his hands and left the court through the players' tunnel.

His own body knows best, he knows that a broken part of his hand is over his season.

Chris Paul is very unwilling, very unwilling, is it possible that without Bruce Lee, he really can't even make it to the Western Conference Finals?

But that's the way it is, with Bruce Lee, the Clippers are just a hit, the second team with 70 wins, the strongest offense in the league, and sweeping the league like a devastating one.

And as soon as he left, the Clippers degenerated into a pseudo-powerhouse.

Paul wanted to prove himself, but alas, fate was always unfavorable.

As he left the court, he looked up at the ceiling, the only championship flag hanging over the Staples Center.

In that banner, there is also his dedication and credit, so that he can get a trace of peace in his heart.

Little did Paul know that if he had drunk the glass of water that Li Liang had handed him, everything might have changed.

Without Chris Paul, the Clippers have completely lost the capital to compete with the Kings.

Of course, the Clippers did not lose the courage and desire to continue fighting.

Rivers Jr. came off the bench for Paul and fought stubbornly against the Kings at the Staples Center.

However, the opponent was too strong, and Li Liang did not give the Clippers any chance at all.

His pick-and-roll with Rondo is simply unsolvable without the help of a strong wing defender.

In this game, Li Liang scored 40 points to help the Kings defeat the Clippers, and the series achieved an absolute lead of 3:0.

After the game, Chris Paul underwent an MRI that confirmed a torn ligament in the palm of his left hand and missed all the next games.

There's no doubt that the Clippers' season is over again.

I thought I would cause a little trouble for the Kings in the first round, but it turned out to be ......

In the fourth game, Li Liang showed no mercy to his subordinates, and took advantage of the away advantage to score 37 points again in a single game, helping the Kings sweep the Clippers 4:0 and successfully advance to the second round.

Sweep, sweep again.
