In the TNT live room, the three Buckley, Big Shark O'Neal and Kenny Smith were discussing the first half of the game fiercely.

"There were excellent moments on both sides in the first half, especially at the beginning of the second quarter, when the Clippers led by Li Yang formed a high-flying lineup and unlimited defensive changes, which brought us unexpected surprises."

"It's really addictive to watch the wave after wave of attacking frenzy, and I'm sure the fans who watched this game feel that way." Bigmouth Barkley said with a reminiscence.

"Well, Charles, you're right this time, the Clippers did play very well, but the Trail Blazers also played well in the second half of the game."

"McCollum continued to output strongly, Lillard's offense began to pick up, and under the leadership of the two, the Trail Blazers also fought hard to catch up, and they were able to play tacit blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, giving us a wonderful offensive feast."

Kenny Smith objectively analyzed the wonderful performance moments of the first half of the two teams.

"However, the second half of the game should also be very interesting, when will Li Yang get a triple-double, and whether McCollum and Lillard can fight back and lead the Trail Blazers to overtake the score and win the final victory!"

"All of the above are full of suspense, the game is not until the last minute of the game, no one knows the final result of the game, this is the charm of the basketball game!" Bigmouth Barkley said with an uncharacteristically sigh.

"The second half of the game is about to start, let's cut the camera back to the game, I think the fans in front of the TV should be in a hurry, then we will wait and see the next game!!"

The scene cuts back to the Moda Center Arena again, where all the players from both sides have returned to the field, and the second half of the game is about to start.

Li Yang returned to the ring with Harris, Beverley, Gallinari, and Harrell.

The Trail Blazers are still familiar with the lineup, with the Portland Five Tigers led by backcourt duo McCollum and Lillard.

For the first offense of the second half, the Trail Blazers played their team's core tactics to block and cooperate with the offense.

After McCollum's breakout route was completely blocked by Harris, he passed back to Aminu, who was in the high post.

After receiving the ball, Aminu quickly shook a shot, faked a real shot, and deliberately raised the arc of the shot to shoot quickly.

However, it was still interfered with Alexander's all-out save, but the ball was still very lucky to hit the board and into the frame, and the Trail Blazers scored their first attack of the second half.

The Trail Blazers' cookie-cutter offense, while capable of scoring goals, is easy to target.

Sure enough, the weakness of the single offense was infinitely amplified by the Clippers, and it was vividly reflected in the next game.

The Clippers attacked, and Li Yang regained control of the ball.

Li Yang dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, Lillard looked at both sides of him and confirmed that there was no block and dismantle, thinking that Li Yang would not attack by himself and should pass it out, so he stared at the basketball in Li Yang's hand.

However, in the next second, Li Yang suddenly burst out with the fastest speed, quickly passing by Lillard, who was not prepared.

Lillard immediately turned to chase back, but just as he changed his center of gravity and rushed forward, Li Yang made a sharp stop to dribble behind his back, and then quickly connected a step-back.

In the face of Li Yang's sudden stop and retreat, Lillard hurriedly braked, but due to the huge inertia, the violent friction between the sole of his shoe and the floor erupted into a tooth-making squeak.

However, just when he completely stopped and was about to pounce, Li Yang had completely widened the distance between the two!!

Li Yang's smooth technical moves allowed him to retreat directly outside the three-point line, and Lillard was two steps away from Li Yang at this time.

Li Yang quickly pulled it up, stayed in the air, tucked his abdomen, flicked his legs, shook his wrist, and shot in three points.

That confident style is so outstanding and different.

Soon, the fans saw the basketball draw a wonderful arc and go straight through the frame.

"Whew!!"

There was a wonderful grinding sound when the basketball hollowed into the net.

Rivers also immediately threw his fist on the sidelines in celebration, knowing that his disciple was finally starting to charge, and he knew that this was Li Yang's best offensive style and shooting rhythm.

The DJ at the scene also shouted passionately: "Li ...... Poplar! Beautiful step-back three-point step-back jumper!! ”

"Picturesque shooting, even the experienced Lillard, didn't expect him to have such a hand, this is the offensive method that Li Yang will use on his last shot."

Not to mention Lillard, even the three in the TNT live broadcast room didn't expect Li Yang to dribble directly behind his back and step back to shoot a three-point shot.

You must know that the step-back three-point step is Harden's famous skill, and it can also be used by him, and it also adds a backdribble to form a combination skill.

After scoring, Li Yang glanced back at Lillard and McCollum, who had just run back, "Old birds, it looks like your time is coming to an end." ”

Lillard listened a little, but McCollum pulled him back.

"You're Damian Lillard! That ruthless man who reads the meter and kills!! ”

"In my mind, you are the man who wants to surpass Michael Jordan in the future!"

After taking a deep breath, Lillard nodded grimacingly.

Offense and defense transition, Trail Blazers offense.

This time, Li Yang did not press Lillard, but let him go a small distance to prevent breakouts and shots.

Lillard glanced at Stotts on the sidelines, and the old man's stern eyes kept him from playing any more wantonly.

So Lillard came to the top of the arc and called his teammates out to block and cooperate, and Aminu began to run for opportunities, and everything looked the same as before.

The block was in place, Lillard immediately broke through, and the Clippers began to change defenses infinitely, although the Trail Blazers tactics played out, but Aminu still didn't get a good shooting opportunity, because in front of him was still the defensive titan Beverley.

Just as Lillard was about to return the pass, he found that Li Yang was like a cold mamba snake, ready to intercept his pass on the wing, and Harrell was also waiting for work in the restricted area, ready to block his layup.

In the end, Lillard had no choice but to pass the ball to McCollum, who was running without the ball.

McCollum burst into action when he got the ball, changing the pace between the moves, fast and slow, making the opponent unguardable.

It's just that just the moment when the basketball broke away from his right hand, he forgot that Li Yang, who was eyeing him just now, had been chasing after him......

Smack——!

I saw Li Yang clapping the board with both hands, and grabbed the basketball from the air!

McCollum was stunned when he landed, and it wasn't until this moment that he figured out how exaggerated the static talent of the yellow boy standing in front of him was.

And McCollum also found that Li Yang's understanding on the defensive end is simply terrifying.

The Trail Blazers' offense failed, and Li Yang grabbed the backcourt rebound and advanced with the ball at the first time.

Li Yang quickly organized the transition offense, and just after half the court, he encountered Lillard's "eighteen-touch" style defensive strategy.

Lillard wanted to use this to consume Li Yang's physical energy, after all, even if he was an animal, there would be times when his physical strength was exhausted.

Come on, single me out!

I'm a good coach, the league's top point guard......

Bang——!

Li Yang didn't listen to nonsense, and directly passed the ball to Harris who was ambushed outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle.

After receiving the ball, Harris quickly jumped up and made a three-point shot, the ball bounced out of the inside edge of the basket, and Li Yang had already run near the three-second zone at this time, jumped up to grab the rebound and passed to the outside again.

Harris didn't waste his chance this time and hit a three-point shot!

"The Trail Blazers' retreat speed is too slow, otherwise Yang would not have been able to rush to the frontcourt to grab rebounds, this is to brush up the rebounding data for him." Bigmouth Barkley quipped.

Stotts on the sidelines was furious and yelled at the disciples on the field: "Are you snails? What does it look like to be slow! ”

"Get me moving, continue to improve the defensive intensity, return to defense quickly, and don't give the Clippers a chance to play fast again!"

The Trail Blazers players on the court knew that the coach was really angry, so they could only force themselves up and desperately improve their defensive intensity.

The Clippers are starting to blossom a little more, but the Trail Blazers are still playing rigid pick-and-roll. The connection between McCollum and Aminu was once again severed by the Clippers' infinite switch, and Nurkic received another basketball.

This time the Russian learned smartly, he didn't force a breakthrough, but caught the ball and shot, and Gallinari quickly went to interfere with the shot.

But as it turned out, Nurkic's shooting consistency was too poor, and the ball hit the right side of the basket and missed.

The Trail Blazers' offense failed again this time, and Harrell grabbed a defensive rebound and didn't give Salt Lake City's Predators a second chance to attack.

Then Li Yang broke through the dribble and made a long throw, only to see the orange basketball afterimage flying directly to the bottom corner of the left side.

Gallinari used a special offload method to receive a fast-flying, powerful pass, and after adjustment, he made a decisive three-point shot to hit the Clippers' second three-pointer of the second half.

In the next game, the Clippers played more and more smoothly, while the offensive routine of the Trail Blazers was penetrated by the Clippers, and the offensive end was frequently targeted by the Clippers, resulting in mistakes.
