The halftime was not over, and everyone knew that this round of Western Conference Finals matchups was indeed of a high level.

Anyway, it's a lot higher than the Clippers playing the Trail Blazers.

Moreover, both sides have not really opened, and they are both in the tentative stage.

For example, Li Liang, when he feels very good, still doesn't attack alone.

You're going to change to Corvo, and you don't pin the ball to the waistband and don't let go.

Li Liang made full use of his defensive appeal and played as many balls to his teammates as possible.

Even though there have been several mistakes, Li Liang is still passing, assisting, and responding.

Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, and from this point of view, the coach of the Clippers is not so much Rivers as Li Liang.

It was he who led the Clippers' offensive and defensive rhythm and battled Popovich's wits and courage.

When he paused, Li Liang's hair dryer turned on and blew at his teammates and Lao Li.

Rivers is blindsided, are you coaching or am I coaching?

Rivers didn't say a few words, just listened to Li Liang and Paul communicating, and at the same time arranged tactics for his teammates.

Before going on the court, Li Liang kept hugging Odom and kept chattering.

Odom played well in the semifinals, but it was clearly a lot more difficult to get to the Western Conference finals.

His quick counter-attacking characteristics with the ball could not be played, and were suppressed by the Spurs' meticulous defensive formation and extremely fast retreat.

"You can try to play a dozen in the low post, add a little bit of offense in the low post, and have two rebounds. Fight back less, don't run blindly. ”

Li Liang reminded Odom to give up the style of play in the semifinals and use new ideas to deal with the Spurs.

The Trail Blazers are far inferior to the Spurs defensively, so Odom can disrupt the game and use his height and dribbling to impact opponents.

Unlike the Spurs, Odom is not as fast and bounced as he used to be, so he has to play smarter.

For example, learn from the fat man opposite, Boris Dior.

At the end of the timeout, Odom sat on the bench and Griffin returned to the court.

In the last half of the second quarter, the two sides continued to face each other.

As soon as they got on the stage, Tony Parker and Chris Paul competed with each other's acting skills.

Parker blocked Duncan in the high post, and Paul tried to squeeze through, but he didn't squeeze through, and reached for Parker.

As a result, Parker fell to the ground, and Paul stumbled and slid to the ground, as if he had been knocked to the ground by Duncan.

Duncan looked confused, staring left and right, and then at the referee, as if he didn't know what was going on.

The referee still ruled that Paul had committed a foul.

“Shit！”

Paul scolded that Parker was much older and spicier than Lillard.

After this foul, Paul committed three fouls in the first half, so he had to take a break.

Rivers was replaced by Livingston, which was a test for the Clippers' offensive organization.

Subsequently, the Spurs re-sent the sideline ball, and this time Parker's old trick was repeated, blocking and dismantling and hitting Li Liang's point, wanting to recreate Li Liang's foul.

As a result, the throw was interfered with and did not hit, and Li Liang did not foul.

After all, it's the home court of the Clippers, and you're not afraid of being booed to death by blowing the opponent's main general's fouls in a row?

However, Livingston countered with the ball and made a mistake in the pass after getting under the basket.

The Clippers had a bit of a turnover in the first half.

The Spurs didn't let it go, with a long pass across the half, wanting to give Leonard to the basket, but was cut off by Griffin!

The ball was given to Li Liang's hands, and Li Liang quickly killed the half, using Jordan Jr.'s blocking cover to wipe into the three-second zone.

Li Liang really erased it, not rushed in and broke in.

He was not fast, carefully controlled his pace, did not rush too deep, and at the same time paid attention to Leonard catching up behind him.

Duncan was in the three-second zone to watch Li Liang while being careful of Li Liang's pass to Little Jordan behind him.

Duncan is alone after all, Li Liang saw the opportunity, suddenly stopped and threw a jumper, leaning forward slightly to avoid Leonard's block behind him.

Two point hit!

At 41:42, the Clippers successfully overtook him!

Li Liang still did not concede a goal and maintained a 100% hit rate.

Immediately afterward, the Clippers defended the Spurs for another 24 seconds on the defensive end.

Li Liang organized the whole team to rotate perfectly on the defensive end, and always maintained the advantage of the number of people on the side with the ball.

As a result, no matter how the Spurs pass, there is no way to find a good opportunity.

In the end, when Belinelli forced a shot from the outside, the time had come.

This is an opportunity for the Clippers to build an edge.

Li Liang immediately realized this, he quickly passed the half court with the ball, used the double cover of Jordan Jr. and Griffin in the high post to enter the three-second zone, and made another emergency stop jump shot near the top of the arc!

This time he used the [Cassel Smile] and with Tim Duncan's interference, he made a mid-range shot.

And Duncan looked confused again, he looked at Li Liang and said, "Why are you laughing so ugly?" ”

"Shut up! It's none of your business! Li Liang interrupted Duncan and ran back, pretending to be quick to defend.

In fact, the Spurs didn't fight back quickly at all, why did you run so fast?

It's embarrassing to laugh ugly, but it's always good to be able to shoot.

The Spurs' defense of the middle range is still a little weak, and it is easy to give Li Liang a chance.

The momentum of the Clippers is in full swing.

Ginobili pushed Livingston to the basket, but Livingston was not out of position, Ginobili wanted to force a shot, but was fanned out of the bottom line by a volleyball hat from Jordan who came from behind!

The crowd at the Staples Center rejoiced, and little Jordan roared at the audience!

Li Liang was still very calm, "Don't scream!" Defend well, the ball is still the opponent's! ”

The Spurs served and gave Parker to the wing, and Parker missed a three-point shot.

But Leonard grabbed the rebound, dribbled out, and forced Barnes with his back.

Barnes couldn't withstand it, and Leonard made a beautiful back turn to connect up and down steps, and the throw of grabbing the ball with one hand was fanned out by Jordan Jr.

But the ball was clearly already falling, and the referee blew the whistle and interfered with the ball.

Li Liang sighed, little Jordan is far inferior to Duncan in this regard.

Although Duncan will not have such a volleyball hat, he can not only defend the opponent every time, but also control the ball.

Although the hat is enjoyable like Jordan Jr., he still lets the opponent score in the end.

And it's still a moment of excitement, interfering with the ball to give the opponent points, if you don't interfere with the ball, just interfere with Leonard's shot, and you won't necessarily score it.

Little Jordan is still too tender.

The momentum of the Clippers' imminent blowout was suddenly cut off.

At this time, Popovich began to play tricks again.

This old yin can see that the shortest board of the IQ barrel of the Clippers team is Little Jordan!

Popovich immediately arranged for the players to foul Jordan Jr. and cut Jordan Jr. tactics!

As a result, Jordan Jr. went to the free throw line and lived up to expectations, missing two free throws.

Then, in the counterattack, Leonard faced Li Liang's defense and hit a mid-range jumper!

"Damn, plagiarize me?"

Li Liang is also ashamed, other people's fast-break jump shots are plagiarizing you?

Did Wu Yanzu also copy you?

Spurs turned the score back.

The Spurs, who have tasted the sweetness, will certainly not let go of the tactics of continuing to cut Joe.

Just after halftime, Parker hugged Jordan Jr. and fouled him.

For the Clippers, who have many free throw shooters, Jordan Jr.'s free throws are really here to lower the average.

Li Liang also taught Little Jordan to shoot free throws when he was training, but the result was useless, but he couldn't shoot accurately.

So it's better to let him figure it out on his own, or let a professional shooting coach figure it out.

This time, Jordan Jr. made one of two free throws, and the two sides tied 45-45.

There is still a little more than a minute left until the end of the second quarter.

At the timeout, Popovich replaced Duncan and replaced the fat Dior.

The Spurs launched a quick offense, Dio held the ball in the high post and went straight to the basket, and under the combination of Griffin and Jordan Jr., the throw missed.

But the fat Dior actually got the rebound in the frontcourt, and before he was about to lose his balance and tiptoe to the baseline before he was about to fly out, a second behind passed to Split, who was keeping up.

Split catches the ball and dunks with both hands!

The Spurs' ability to extinguish fires is also really powerful.

And Popovich still refuses to stop, and continues to cut Jordan!

Damn, are you finished? Do we still want to play?

Do spectators want to watch the game? Do TV stations want to broadcast advertisements?

Popovich doesn't care, he's already made up his mind to let the Clippers' halfcourt offense go through the free-throw line.

Little Jordan missed the first penalty again, and he was in a hurry.

He knew that the only way he didn't want to be at the free throw line was to put the ball in.

With consecutive free throws, the Spurs won't foul again.

But the more I think about it, the more I can't get it.

The second penalty was missed.

But the ball collapsed a little far, and Li Liang suddenly rushed out, between Split and Leonard, and snatched the ball!

Li Liang took the ball, dribbled and rushed to the basket, causing Leonard's defensive foul and also making free throws.

Li Liang's free throws are different from Jordan Jr., who has the highest free throw percentage in the league this season.

Li Liang stood at the free throw line and took the ball from the referee, and then instead of looking at the basket, he turned his head to stare at Spurs coach Popovich standing on the sidelines.

Free throws.

Li Liang tilted his head and threw the ball!

"Huh!"

Hit.

Li Liang spread his hands towards Popovich, then took the ball from the referee's hand, slapped it twice, and then turned his head to look at Popovich......

Popovich was speechless, why did this person just look at me when he didn't look at the basket when he made free throws?

Li Liang just wanted to stare at Popovich, and then his hands were not idle, he shot easily, and hit the free throw again!

During Li Liang's four years in college, the most practiced was free throws.

Coupled with his invincible mentality, whether he looks at the basket or not, whether he twists his head or not is the same for him!

He's just going to tell Popovich, you can play tricks on me, I'm not Jordan, I can get the ball in if I don't look at the basket!

Li Liang's free throws that don't look at the basket calmed Popovich and the Spurs players.

Subsequently, Mills missed a three-point shot from the outside, and the Spurs did not use the tactic of slashing Jordan Jr. in the Clippers' final attack.

Rivers replaced Odom and replaced Li Liang.

Odom received a pass from Livingston in the low post, singled Dior with his back, and hit a left-handed throw after turning his back to help the Clippers go into halftime with a two-point lead over the Spurs at 49-47 in the first half.
