?? Brooks was clearly aware of Westbrook's problems on the defensive end, and he wasn't aggressive enough.

Many young players will face this problem when they grow up, and when they first enter the league and have not yet made a name for themselves, they will desperately perform themselves on the defensive end to fight for more opportunities to play.

When the playing time gradually stabilizes, and at the same time, his own ability continues to increase, and there are more and more scenes on the offensive end, it is inevitable that there will be slackness on the defensive end.

Westbrook was known for his defensive toughness in college, he was physically superior and played aggressively.

For the first three years of his time with the Thunder, he was a defensive activist.

And as his offensive ability has been developed, he has controlled the ball on the offensive end, and the energy invested on the defensive end is not as insanely focused as before.

Especially after Harden was traded, Westbrook's responsibility in offense and organization was even greater, and his defensive enthusiasm in the regular season was naturally not as good as before.

After all, there are not many monsters like Kobe Bryant and Jordan who can always be fully engaged on both offensive and defensive ends.

Li Liang is also at present, giving priority to the defensive end, going all out, playing on the offensive end if he feels good, and playing stealth if he doesn't feel good.

If one day Li Liang wants to hold up the banner of the number one core on the offensive end and wants to continue to invest heavily in defense, his physical fitness must be further improved.

But he has a system, so he won't think so much, and it's unfounded.

The game between the two sides continued, and the Thunder have been trying to find a point to turn the tables.

The so-called turning point is to be able to catch the opponent's sore feet, keep attacking or forming a good defense.

After the first two quarters, the Thunder's offense obviously has no effective discipline, and can only continue to rely on Durant's goal to continue his life.

Westbrook's shooting touch is really bad, but he's not a wasted shot, because that's how he was designed with the Thunder.

Make the most of the duo's individual scoring abilities.

The score remained around 10 points, and by the middle of the third quarter, Griffin was off again.

Griffin down, Crawford up.

Brooks saw that it was a chrysanthemum tight.

As the first test item after the adjustment, Brooks couldn't have prepared for it before.

He can only continue to maintain the normal rotation of the team and play with normal tactics.

As a result, Li Liang received a pass from Crawford in the middle and killed the basket, causing Ibaka's foul.

Hit both free throws.

Then Westbrook forced a basket and slipped the baseline, but this slip was too deep, and he tried to come to the back of the board and make a rebound, but was covered by the rebound......

Li Liang was standing near Westbrook, doing nothing, when a ball fell from the sky.

"Is this the power of Russell's Three-Second Fear?"

Li Liang also wondered if this was the effect of the skill, Paul had already run past half the court.

Li Liang passed the ball to Paul, Paul received the ball and burst into the basket, the Thunder all returned to the defense and contracted, Paul dribbled out and passed the ball to Li Liang who followed behind.

Li Liang made a three-point shot and hit!

Li Liang's three-point shooting percentage tonight was quite good.

But apart from him, no one else's three-point shooting is very good.

Otherwise, the score difference on the field will definitely be even greater.

As soon as this goal was scored, the two sides stretched to 15 points.

Then, the Thunder made an offensive foul by Li Liang in the offense......

The ball was unplayable, and Brooks immediately called a timeout, and it was clear that the players needed to adjust.

Li Liang is really a bit like a fish in water in the No. 4 position, after all, he has played the No. 4 position in the Lakers for most of the season, and he feels quite good.

After a timeout, the Thunder replaced Ibaka and replaced Collison.

There is no way, but to let Collison entangle Li Liang, and it is a complete waste to let Durant go to Li Liang.

Instead of letting Durant expend his energy on defense, let him explode on the offensive end and see if he can chase the points back.

In fact, Brooks has such a mentality to make personnel adjustments, which shows that there are already problems in this game.

Any strong team chasing points must start with defense.

Defense is to stabilize oneself, and to fight outside must first be at home, and to put one's camp firmly before attacking and killing the enemy.

Relying on one or two stars to play offensively, some balls can be won, because this is the NBA, where superheroes are born.

Some can't do it, for example, the opponent also has a seed that can explode, and the two sides explode each other, and you can't win.

After the timeout, Durant let go of the firepower, and the ball was in his hands.

The outside line received a shot from Westbrook and opened his hand for a three-point shot.

But Li Liang responded immediately, handed the ball to Paul in the high position, and cut outside after blocking and dismantling with Paul.

Collison, who defended him, was obviously a beat slower, Li Liang took two steps back to catch the ball, and made a three-point shot, which also hit!

This is Li Liang's sixth three-pointer tonight!

He's already scored 26 points.

Mike Brown watched Li Liang score, and his heart was inexplicably excited.

This kid is really chopping melons and vegetables when he scores points, and the talent of shooting accurately is really good.

Not to be outdone, Durant immediately asked for the ball in the low post, and singled with his back to force Barnes to score two points.

Durant's back has been developed, his height, his arm span, and a stepback, what can you do with him?

He can only defend against catching the ball, or try his best to consume and hope that he can't shoot.

As for the defense of Li Liang...... In fact, Li Liang is not so incomprehensible, but this person uses props, and he is more incomprehensible.

It's another S-level three-point shooting percentage, and he wants to suppress Durant's offense in this time period!

Receiving Paul's pass in the middle, three steps away from the three-point line, it looked like he was going to respond to the pass, and he shot directly!

Collison hasn't reacted yet, why did you vote for Nima?

As a result, the ball passed through the heart!

At such a distance, he can cast a hollow, which shows that Li Liang feels full of hands tonight.

It feels a little worse when you change it, and when you use props, you will usually bounce on the basket and then roll it in.

If you have the heart, the fans will count Li Liang's "balloons", which is definitely the most in the league.

So later, the fans gave Li Liang a nickname, "The Essence of Human Balloon Gan Li Liang", and some people made a video collection, which became the treasure of the town station of some video websites.

Durant and Li Liang rushed to each other like this.

This is the most popular part of the fans.

At this time, Paul will be very sensible to pass the ball to Li Liang and let Li Liang score.

Because Paul understood that this was the biggest gap between himself and Li Liang.

At this point, Durant seemed to be feeling a little shaken about his shot.

On the next offense, he opted for a pass, which was passed to Adams, who was rounding to the basket.

As a result, Jordan Jr. poked the ball out from behind, and the ball flew into the air and scrambled.

The Thunder players still have the advantage of height and arm length, and the ball was spotted into Westbrook's hands.

Westbrook didn't dare to shoot, he really didn't feel good.

Seeing that there was no time, he passed the ball to Sefrossa.

Because the person opposite Sefrosha was Crawford, Sefrosha held the ball and beat Crawford, dribbled and turned around continuously, and wanted to jump in the middle, but Li Liang rushed up to help defend and interfered.

The ball shot short, and Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Li Liang has already rushed towards the front court, little Jordan passed the ball to Paul, as soon as Paul took over the ball, a long pass immediately came to Li Liang's hands.

Durant and Collison were chasing after each other, but Li Liang didn't make a layup after receiving the ball, and when he got to the basket, he braked sharply and turned left!

Later, Collison and Durant rushed out, but Li Liang dribbled to the bottom left corner.

Westbrook finally struggled to make up for it, but with his height, Li Liang was not afraid of his interference at all.

Directly in the eyes of no one, slightly adjusted, the left bottom corner of the three-point shot!

This is the point he is most accurate.

The ball flew to the basket, and the leaping Westbrook hit Li Liang, who fell directly to the ground.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle and Westbrook fouls!

And the ball bounced off the basket, hit the rebound, bounced back, spun around the hoop twice, and finally fell into the net!

Score four successes!

The Staples Center is jubilant!

Li Liang scored three points on a fast break and added a penalty, and this ball has to be said to have an element of luck.

It's really the essence of human ballooning.

Li Liang thought, the time for props is coming, isn't it a pity not to use it?

……

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers were 91-71, 20 points ahead of the Thunder.

Li Liang's four-point shot was too murderous, and he shot seven three-pointers in the third quarter, and the shooting rate was a terrible 7-of-10 shooting, 70 percent.

After the start of the new season, Li Liang's three-point shooting has declined compared with last season.

Both the shooting percentage and the number of shots per game are a little worse than during the Lakers period.

Li Liang himself has a force for this, and he has long expected such a situation.

Because the team has changed, the positioning has changed, and the opponent's defense against him has changed.

It's just that he thinks so, but the fans and the media don't think so, do you think his three-point ability has declined?

Other players have spent a summer, and their signature skills have improved.

Why did Li Liang improve in other aspects, but his three points declined?

In this game, Li Liang used a happy three-point rain to shoot through the thunder.

In the fourth quarter, Li Liang of course dared to fight and continued to throw three points outside.

Anyway, they are all ahead, what defense, what the middle strategy, to hell with it.

Lao Tzu wants to shoot three points!

On the Thunder's side, Brooks has not replaced the main team, even if he is 15 points behind in the last 3 minutes, he still continues to keep Westbrook and Durant on the court.

Li Liang has already made 10 three-pointers and scored 40 points in this game!

Brooks has played with Li Liang a few times, and he knows that if you change the bench to play garbage time, Li Liang dares to stay on the court and give you a fifty points.

To avoid this and keep your players on the pitch for lessons, reflect on some of the problems of the game.

As a coach, Brooks has helped the Thunder's young people grow up, and he has helped them a lot.

But how long can this education work when Durant and Westbrook are growing into superstars, but the helpers around them are getting worse and worse?

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Thunder by 121-105, 16 points at home.

Mike Brown's change of formation has paid off.

After the game, Rivers was smiling like a pig's head.

And Li Liang was undoubtedly voted the best player of the game.

His presence on the court overshadowed Durant, Paul, Westbrook and others.

Before the start of the game, people were still looking forward to the star battle between the two teams, who knew that it would become Li Liang's personal show.

The reporter interviewed Li Liang and asked him whether some changes in the team had occurred since Coach Brown came, and whether these changes contributed to his outburst tonight.

Li Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, Mike always asks me to shoot more, I shoot more, and then I score 40 points, um." ”

It seems that Mike Brown's role is really big.
