The third quarter of the game began, and the two sides returned to the court.

It is still the same lineup as in the first quarter, but the Clippers' alignment has been adjusted, and Li Liang is ready to have a good fight with Randolph in the third quarter.

No matter how much his offense has improved this season and how much his scoring has climbed, Li Liang has not lost his enthusiasm for defense.

What could be happier than the opponent's defense of the goal, with a Sima face?

In college, Li Liang was not a defensive giant.

But in the system's defensive tasks again and again, Li Liang experienced the joy of defense.

It is said that there is a tendency to destroy and destroy in people's genes, and the defensive giants on the basketball court must be people with obvious genes.

At the beginning of the game, the Clippers took the lead in attacking, but still chose to play Griffin in the low post.

Griffin is going down to rest for five minutes, and he has to make the most of the time he's around.

But Griffin faced Randolph's defense, squeezed his back in, turned in, and was surrounded by Gasol Jr. on the other side.

Griffin wanted to pass the ball to Jordan Jr., who was empty, but his high throw was spotted by Gasol Jr. and intercepted in the air.

The first attack failed.

The Grizzlies didn't launch a quick counterattack, and Gasol Jr. handed the ball to Conley and slowly began to play the position.

Even if there is a chance to counterattack, the Grizzlies don't play, they just want to slow down the tempo, pull down the number of rounds between the two sides, and keep the style of the game and the state of the players in a comfortable situation for them.

After half-time, Conley handed the ball to Gasol in the high post.

There are several routines in the Grizzlies' positional warfare offense, one is Gasol's high strategy, Conley's bottom line, the front line stands in the bottom corner, and Randolph waits for the opportunity to get stuck under the basket to do high and low cooperation.

The other is that Randolph catches the ball in the low post or the horn position and eats one-on-one.

Then there is Conley and Gasol Jr. to block and cover together, Gasol Jr. cuts inside or withdraws, after receiving the ball, he rushes or creates opportunities for the wings, and Randolph rushes to grab the rebound in the frontcourt.

This is the Grizzlies' positional offensive system built around Conley, Jr., and Randolph.

Among them, Randolph's ability to eat in the low position is crucial.

Relying only on Conley and Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies' system can play just as well, but then their offensive ability will not make them enough to compete with the top teams.

It is precisely because of Randolph's strong attack that they have the qualification to compete with the top teams.

Gasol Jr. picked up the ball in the high post and saw the Clippers' defensive alignment change.

The man staring at Randolph was no longer Griffin, but Li Liang.

Randolph was at the bottom of the left side, and he had already started hand-to-hand combat with Li Liang and stuck to the basket.

Grizzly wants to hit one on Li Liang.

Because the opponent's defense changes formation, playing one at this time is to prove to the opponent that "your change of formation is useless", which is a blow to the opponent's morale.

At the same time, Randolph was hit twice by Li Liang in the first quarter, and now he wants to return it.

So the two had a fierce battle around the three-second zone.

In terms of strength and ability to get in position, Li Liang is indeed inferior to Randolph.

But he has experience, and in the first place, in order to complete the task in the system, he competed with the strikers of the 90s such as AC Green and Charles Oakley, and gained a lot of experience and skill as well as ability.

The low-level card position is not only a comparison of strength, but the focus is actually on the word "grab".

Once you predict in advance and grab a powerful position, no matter how strong the opponent is, he may not be able to get stuck in the right position.

Unless you're facing O'Neal, O'Neal, no matter how you rob it, if you grab it, you'll be knocked away by him.

Randolph was at best a super-small O'Neill, and Li Liang quickly grabbed half of the position, so that Randolph could never completely block Li Liang behind him.

Gasol Jr. hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't pass it, and if he wanted to pass it, it was very likely that Li Liang would poke the ball off from behind.

In the end, the ball was still given to the outside, three passes and two downs, and Conley missed a mid-range jumper.

Li Liang directly stuck Randolph, and then asked Griffin to grab the rebound.

Li Liang is now in auxiliary mode, defending, stuck, allowing rebounds, and the offensive end is starting to respond and pass.

Compared with the Lakers period, Li Liang's strategy in the high post is more threatening, because he has the ability to dribble and break through.

Unlike in the past, when you get the ball in the high post, you are a stake, a stake with three-point ability.

Now, if the opponent's defense is leaky, he will hold the ball himself and finish the offense with a pull-up jumper.

The defender of Li Liang was still Prince, he did not leave an inch, and when Paul came to answer, Conley chose to force his way through, and at the same time Prince reached over and delayed Paul.

Li Liang seized this opportunity, dribbled through the middle, and Gasol Jr. came over to make up for the defense.

Gasol Jr. has a sizable defensive coverage, he is tall and has outstanding arms, and if he wants to pass a lob ball past him, the passer must weigh it.

Otherwise, he will be intercepted by Gasol Jr. like Griffin just now.

As a result, Li Liang did not hang the pass, but a ground-hitting pass, passing the ball from the crotch of Gasol Jr. to the inside line, and Jordan Jr. won the ball with both hands after receiving the ball!

The ball was a beautiful pass, with just the right amount of power and angle.

Little Gasol only felt a gust of wind pass under his crotch and was startled!

Remembering that in the last game against the Thunder, Adams was smashed into the Wudang faction by Li Liang, if this ball is not careful, Xiaojia is estimated to be included in one of the Wudang Seven Heroes.

As soon as this assist was played, a subtitle flashed in front of Li Liang's eyes:

[Congratulations, hit the ground and pass assists 100 times, skill: John Johnson's one-shot soul upgrade, LV2, can be used twice per game.] 】

Clam, unexpectedly, I didn't expect that as soon as this pass was successful, I actually upgraded my skills!

In this way, Li Liang can use [One Shot into the Soul] twice per game, and he doesn't have to wait until the critical moment to use it.

The Clippers scored first, and then Li Liang tangled with Randolph on the defensive end.

Randolph felt a completely different pressure than Griffin had when he was in the opposite position.

Although Griffin is physically strong, he will not "entangle" or "grab" at all in defense, but just passively stand there and wait.

Li Liang, on the other hand, used aggressive defense.

In the past, he was doing tasks in the system, and he often faced some historical interior players on the inside, and if you didn't think of a way, you took the initiative to defend, and the bubbles would be played.

Li Liang used Dave Cowens's style to deal with Randolph, "passionate" physical confrontation, active positioning, and tireless harassment.

Also, when Randolph held the ball under the basket and faced Li Liang, he always felt that the shot was a little bit worse, just a little bit, so that Randolph missed three basket shots.

Because Randolph was affected by [Russell's three-second zone fear], his little hand shook and he didn't score.

Li Liang was completely immersed in the pleasure of hand-to-hand combat with Randolph.

In the modern NBA, there are too many threes, too many quick counter-attacks, too many body whistles, too few physical confrontations, especially in the regular season.

Li Liang often finishes tasks in the system, and he doesn't feel very comfortable in real games.

Only against the Grizzlies can you regain the fierceness and savagery of the NBA in the 70s.

Randolph obviously didn't expect this kid to be so hard, coming and going, the two were about to fight under the basket, and the movements were getting bigger and bigger.

At this time, Li Liang took out [Gary Payton's Chewing Gum] from the system to make his breath more fresh and fragrant.

After a series of phrases starting with F and S came out of Li Liang's mouth, Randolph finally couldn't help it in the attack, and turned to Li Liang is elbow after receiving the ball!

But can you elbow Li Liang so easily?

Li Liang ducked back, and Randolph's elbow brushed the bridge of Li Liang's nose.

Just a little bit, Li Liang's handsome and tall nose bone was about to be broken.

Li Liang didn't choose to sit on the ground and pretend to be dead to cheat the foul.

He was furious.

Hit someone without slapping in the face!

You Randolph is a powerful person who eats by his football skills, and I, Gan Liliang, am an idol who eats by his face!

What should I do if I break my important nose?

However, Li Liang was not stupid enough to fight Randolph, but chose to hug Randolph, who wanted to be strong, and pressed him down!

It's the equivalent of a takedown.

At this time, the conflict between the two was completely broken, and Randolph began to push Li Liang.

What about Li Liang? If you don't do it, you will beep!

Hands-on will be whistled for technical fouls, but swearing will not.

Li Liang's hair dryer and chewing gum are really boundless.

Turn out all kinds of bad things from Randolph from the Trail Blazers to the Knicks and make up a rap.

Randolph quickly couldn't resist it, felt like he wanted to refute, and couldn't stand up.

I wanted to make a move, but I was pulled by my teammates and the referee.

In this day and age, don't do it if you can beep, and it's the same on the basketball court.

Randolph was still angry, but he scolded and scolded, and his anger seemed to be gone?

In the end, I wanted to cry a little, and I wanted to say to Li Liang, "Please stop scolding." ”

In the end, it was the referee who stopped the conflict and calmed Li Liang.

After watching the footage, Randolph suffered a first-degree malicious foul for pushing and elbowing.

Li Liang was whistled for a defensive foul, and Li Liang wanted to make a free throw.

Looking at the score after the free throw, 58:54, the Clippers only led the Grizzlies by four points.

But the third quarter was almost halfway through and there were more than six minutes left.

The two sides went into an official timeout, and the game was really intense and ugly.

Randolph missed one of his five shots, and the Clippers scored very little because Li Liang was too focused on defense, and at the same time, the tempo was slowed down.

However, the situation of the game is gradually entering the control of the Clippers.

Fighting the grizzly bear in the way that the grizzly bear is best at is like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and it turns out that he has won, and the grizzly bear has been hit hard.

On the bench, Li Liang said to Griffin, who was about to rest, "Do you understand?" Do you see how I killed Randolph? ”

Griffin looked at Li Liang blankly and nodded vigorously.

"Tell me louder!" Li Liang yelled at Griffin.

"Yes, yes I know!" Griffin responded.

At this moment, Griffin felt like a freshman who had just entered college.

Hearing Griffin say this, Li Liangcai took the towel handed by Brown, wiped his sweat, and drank saliva.
