In the last three minutes of the first quarter, the offense on both sides finally opened up.

The Clippers switched to the second lineup, and Griffin came on the court to play with Livingston and Odom.

The Trail Blazers are much more conservative than the last game, Stotts easily did not dare to play the main force, and Lillard, Batum and others were still on the court.

Only Robin Lopez on the inside came off the break and replaced Mo Williams with a big four in the hope of narrowing the gap a little bit late in the first quarter.

Rivers is obviously more confident, the rotation is still relatively loose, Li Liang and Paul are all off work at the point.

On the Clippers' side, Griffin didn't score in the first few minutes, and he didn't even get a shot.

After a few minutes of rest, Griffin came up and made a pick-and-roll with Livingston and hit a high-post mid-range jumper.

On the Trail Blazers' side, Batum's outside dribble was tackled by Odom.

Odom passed the ball to Livingston, and Livingston made a layup and caused a foul on the defender, plus a free throw!

However, the Trail Blazers quickly came to their senses, and Stotts replaced Matthews with Will Barton.

As soon as Barton came on the court, he immediately cut to the basket and received a pass from high post Ade and scored a layup.

Then, Crawford missed a layup with the ball himself, and the Trail Blazers counterattacked, and Ville Bader twisted himself to dribble to the basket, and scored two more points with a left-handed layup.

Stotts' substitution was a coincidence, as Matthews lacked the ability to impact the basket, and his defense struggled against the Clippers' lineup.

And Barton, although thin, dares to fight and has a lot of impact.

Relying on Barton, the Trail Blazers stabilized the situation and chased two goals in a row.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 25:27.

Lillard hit a buzzer-beating layup in the final minute to help the Trail Blazers trail by just two points.

At the start of the second quarter, both Lillard and Aldridge were rested.

The main control on the Trail Blazers' court became Mo Williams.

As on the field, Mo Williams relied on cover to equalise the score with a mid-range as soon as he came up.

But before the Trail Blazers players could relive the feeling of the draw, the Clippers had already launched a counterattack, Griffin took the lead, and Odom dribbled through the Trail Blazers' defense and distributed the ball to Griffin.

Griffin received the ball and went straight to the basket, and under the combination of Batum and Barton, he forced a layup and hit two points.

Griffin is like a train, and he can't pull it behind it.

The game between the two sides is generally very civilized, and there are not too many off-board moves.

Although the competition is fierce and the action confrontation is relatively high, it is relatively clean.

Even Paul was not visibly dirty, so the game was smooth overall, and the referee's whistle didn't blow much.

In this case, the Clippers and Trail Blazers are fighting again.

Although Stotts didn't want to see such a situation, there was no way, the Trail Blazers were such a style, and he couldn't break it with defense and confrontation.

In fact, in the entire league, only the Heat have the hope of breaking the Clippers' style; And the only one who has the ability to keep up with the style of the Clippers is the Spurs.

Now the Clippers have another accelerator for this style, and that is Odom.

Odom scored 10 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in the last game, which can be said to be a good performance.

Rivers is deliberately increasing his playing time, because with him, the Clippers' offensive pace can be kept in shift.

The problem, of course, is that his defense is really not good.

The Trail Blazers also fought back, with Matthews scoring a layup.

If Jordan Jr. and Li Liang are here, Matthews will not be able to score like this.

However, Odom then misplaced Lopez on a 45-degree tentative step, dribbled to the basket, and hit a small hook on his right hand.

Then, Odom got the backcourt rebound, faced Lopez again on the counterattack, and hit a small throw with his left hand!

Odom really got to the point where he got to this series.

Several offenses and defenses, whether it is a quick push counterattack or an attack on their own, are quite the same feeling when they were in the Lakers.

Odom's own talent and quality are very good, but he really doesn't care about his body very much.

Since coming to the Clippers, he has received the baptism and education of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace by Li Liang's side, understood the eight honors and eight shames and scientific development, and the whole person's state has been getting better and better, and it has finally blossomed in the playoffs.

For the Trail Blazers, Matthews missed a step-back jumper near the free-throw line.

Matthews and Harden faced off in a series, and they really thought of themselves as Kobe.

In both of these games, he used his one-legged stand-up step-back jumper many times, but only a handful of goals were scored.

Think against the Clippers, Crawford is so easy to attack?

No matter how bad Crawford's defense is, if you shoot in front of him, he will reach out and interfere with you.

Odom then passed Griffin again on the counter-attack, and Griffin hit the basket and scored a right-handed layup, which also caused a foul on Mo Williams.

The Trail Blazers also wanted to continue to pass the ball inside to Lopez to score, but Lopez was empty of height, explosiveness and finishing ability, and was blocked by the basket again - Lopez was blocked by the basket in both games.

It was the Clippers' counterattack again, Odom dribbled the ball himself and went straight to the frontcourt, fully showing his left-handed magician dribbling skills, dribbling behind the defender, and finally scoring a left-handed layup!

The Staples Center gave Odom the most enthusiastic cheers, making Odom feel as if he had gone back five years to five years ago, also in Stamps, when he was still wearing a purple and gold jersey.

The Trail Blazers took a timeout, and Stotts didn't expect the Clippers to have Odom's card.

It's good to have more cards in your hand, just play one out, and Stotts feels like you can't catch it.

The difference between the two sides is going to 10 points again, but the Trail Blazers still hope that after the main team debuts, the Trail Blazers can slowly bite the score and then find an opportunity to save the situation.

After all, the Clippers' starters tonight are really not in good shape, and Paul has scored 2 points so far.

Li Liang, who is in the best condition, Stotts thought, is it possible for this guy to score 40 points?

Facts have proved that you can't leave anything to chance when you play a game, and pin your hopes of victory on your opponent's poor performance, although there is no way to do it, but the final result will be overwhelmingly unsatisfactory.

The other players of the Clippers are indeed in average form, such as Paul, who felt really bad in the mid-range tonight.

Barnes and Jordan Jr.'s offense doesn't feel very good, and the ups and downs are normal.

But Li Liangxin was crowned MVP and is in very good shape.

In fact, with the help of the blessings of various runes, Li Liang rarely had a game in bad shape.

Li Liang scored 10 points in the first quarter, and after a timeout in the second quarter, Li Liang re-entered the court, replacing Crawford, and was on the court at the same time as Griffin and Odom.

It's a three-forward lineup, and Rivers may have listened to Mike Brown's slander and let Li Liang run to the center position for a cameo.

Mike Brown is really a thief, and he has to play a dozen in every position.

Robin Lopez was also replaced anyway, and Stotts wanted to play a small lineup and fight offensively.

So the Clippers' three-forward lineup is not so strange.

Li Liang really went to the center position to defend Ade.

To be honest, when Ade's hand feels good, Li Liang can't prevent Ade.

But Aldridge lost the first-round style he had in the first round.

The goals were scattered, and although they scored 21 points in the first game, they had little impact on the course of the game and the result.

In the middle of the second quarter, Ade began to walk forward with the Trailblazers again, Li Liang defended one-on-one, and Ade used the advantage of strength and arm span to squeeze the basket and hit a hook shot.

The cast was beautiful.

Then he turned around and was confused by Li Liang.

Ade continued to hold the ball in the low post and single, and after repeated back-to-back trials, he turned around and made a step-back jumper with a straight arm, which was very difficult, and he still hit!

It looks like Ade's form is picking up.

turned around and was confused by Li Liang's three-point shot at the top of the arc......

Ade looks a little angry!

The Trail Blazers counterattacked, and Aldridge immediately made a mid-range jumper after receiving Lillard's pass in the high post!

As a result, the ball was short, and Griffin got the backcourt rebound.

Then, Li Liang counterattacked and accelerated past Ade, who pounced on him, and hit a 45-degree pull-up jumper on the left side after hitting the inside line.

The little feeling that Ade had finally accumulated seemed to have been hollowed out all of a sudden.

Li Liang scored 8 points in a row, and the difference between the two sides was widened again.

Stotts is holding his forehead on the sidelines, what the hell is going on?

Is the difference in strength between the two sides so big? Can't make it through half the game?

The Clippers played the Mavericks in the first round, and the Mavericks were able to play with the Clippers in the first half, and even entangled until the fourth quarter.

The Trail Blazers obviously couldn't hold it in the half, and Li Liang couldn't do it in the middle of the second quarter.

The shooting of this product is really accurate, and it is unreasonable, and the person who shoots is frightened and numb.

Li Liang is not an offensive kaleidoscope, he has two fresh moves, either shoot three points from the outside, you pounce on the basket, and I will break through to the inside to make a stop-and-go jump shot.

As for how you defend me, it has nothing to do with me.

Li Liang has always insisted on "focusing on me" in playing, how I play in the offense is my business, and how you defend is your business.

I'm not going to adjust the way I play for your defensive strategy, because I wouldn't play any other way.

It's a pity that the Trail Blazers are not a team that is good at defense, and what's even more terrifying is that the rhythm and style of the Trail Blazers are what Li Liang likes very much, and Li Liang is not afraid of anyone who is in front of him.

There is no small forward with high offense, and there is no flexible interior line with large defensive coverage, which is the configuration that Li Liang is more afraid of.

As a result, Li Liang was red-eyed in the second quarter.

After Stotts couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout, Li Liang refused to take a break from the bench and asked to play the second quarter.

As a result, in the second quarter, Li Liang made 5 of 7 three-point shots, 4 of 6 two-point shots, no free throws, pure points, 25 points!

In the half, Li Liang scored 35 points!

Of course, this is not the credit of Li Liang alone, after all, he is not an old science, and he can't look at it all at once.

Odom's precise assists, Griffin's solid cover, and Crawford's space pull gave Li Liang the most room to play.

He doesn't need to dribble for half a day and then lean back to shoot, but a block can make a chance, and an air cut can catch the ball.

The Clippers are playing better and better.

As for Paul? He sat on the bench for most of the time, let him rest.

In the second half of garbage time, maybe you can get a little playing time.
