There aren't many days left in 2013, and the Clippers have two games left in the year.

For Li Liang, 2013 was a year full of miraculous harvests.

All-stars, championships, Finals MVPs, new teams, new teammates, all happened in 2013.

Li Liang certainly hopes that 2013 will have a good ending.

The Clippers currently hold the top spot in the East and West, losing just three of their 30 games.

This has to make people start talking about 72 wins again.

Anyway, there are only a few topics in the NBA that go around and around.

The team's regular season, 72 wins, winning streak, playoffs, can you win the championship.

In the regular season, the players have various scoring records and rebounding records, occasionally blowing 81 points from Lao Ke, and then bluffing people with 100 points from Chamberlain.

In the playoffs, Jordan and Iverson scored 40 and 50 points in a single game, and 40 points per game in the finals.

Of course, there is now one more Li Liang's finals with 60 points per game, and the popularity is still quite high.

It's just that the finals are about the outbreak, and the regular season is about the endurance competition and state adjustment.

Besides, the results of the regular season are about a "go with the flow", and it is good to win all the way while maintaining reasonable rotation and rest.

Obviously, the results are enough, the first in the league, in order to pursue a record, resulting in ups and downs in the player's state, affected by injuries, once something goes wrong in the playoffs, the glory of the regular season will only set off the bitterness of defeat.

Even if you exceed the Bulls' 72 wins and don't win the championship, you will still be ridiculed by opposing fans and Chinese celebrities.

Rivers has a bit of a feeling for this.

Because in 2008, the Celtics sang all the way in the regular season, with an excellent record of 66 wins.

As a result, in the playoffs, the first round and semifinals were played for seven games before they advanced, and if they were eliminated, it would really be a black spot that could not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

Then in 2009, Garnett suffered a major injury, and the team's title defense fell short, and by 2010, the Celtics began to learn to play dead in the regular season.

Barely managed to win 50 wins, but easily took out the Cavaliers and Magic in the playoffs, showing the style of the Eastern Conference hegemon.

With this experience and experience, Rivers believes that the Clippers don't need to be too ferocious in the regular season.

Also, the team's substitutes still need to be strengthened, otherwise the pressure on the main team is still too great.

Especially Li Liang.

Rivers fell to the ground in an unexpected "crash" at Oracle, which frightened Rivers.

Li Liang must not be injured at this point, now that I think about it, signing Odom as a spare tire is really a good decision.

Of course, Rivers didn't know that Li Liang wouldn't get hurt!

Li Liang will not be injured, Paul will be different, this small man has had different injuries almost every year after entering the league.

Paul was not a glass man, but injuries did cause him a lot of trouble.

The current team's backup point guards are mainly two, one is Bledsoe and the other is Darren Collison.

Neither player was very satisfied with the performance.

Bledsoe is very strong, but the style is too different from Paul's.

After returning from injury, Bledsoe's statistics are still good, especially when he is on the bench, and the offensive efficiency is very high.

But his playmaking skills are average, and his style of play requires possession and playing time.

Darren Collison is not as good as Bledsoe in terms of strength, and his ability is mediocre in all aspects, and he can barely be a substitute.

And both of them are short, one short man is enough to bear, three short people are really impressable, and the pressure on the inside line is not ordinarily large.

At present, he has trained Jordan Jr.'s defense and movement.

It's the work of Rivers, the trainer, and the three dwarfs plus Crawford.

So, Rivers has already started to think about making a trade, trading Bledsoe or Collison, and swapping it for a more useful backcourt.

……

In the last days of '13, the Clippers faced the Jazz and Suns at home.

The Jazz were competitive last season, and this season with the departure of Jefferson and the departure of Millsap, the team began to rebuild with Gordon Hayward as a foundation.

With 30 games played, they have yet to reach double digits in wins and are basically out of contention for the playoffs.

That's the way the NBA is, after a summer, some teams will change that you don't even recognize.

When Hayward faced Li Liang last season, he still felt like he was "evenly matched".

Now in less than a year, except for his appearance, he is no match for Li Liang in all aspects.

It's not that Hayward isn't good, it's that the fans are demanding.

Li Liang stubbornly raised the fans' requirements a lot.

It can be said that in the future in the small forward position, any rookie will inevitably have to compete with Li Liang.

Can't make it to the All-Star in your rookie season?

garbage, Li Liang can enter at the end of the second round of the show.

Can't make it to the finals in your rookie season?

The ability to lead the team is not good, Li Liang can enter the finals with Kobe.

Can't get FMVP in your rookie season?

The young man has insufficient potential, do you know what it feels like to score 60 points in the finals?

In short, Li Liang has completely raised people's expectations for the "rookie", and the second-year player has begun to count on him to win the regular season MVP.

Moreover, Li Liang has ranked second in the current regular season MVP selection competition.

Second only to LeBron James.

The main reason is that although Li Liang's two lore games are extremely exciting, his statistics are not high in the whole game.

And the game with high full-time data often has garbage time, and this product also likes garbage time to exercise.

The eyes of the crowd are still bright, but he is very close to the first position in MVP.

In this Jazz fight, in the face of Hayward, Li Liang completely suppressed the Salt Lake City handsome.

Hayward played quite badly tonight, facing Li Liang's outside defense, he didn't have a single move, and he hit a 2-of-11 shooting.

He scored only 7 points in the game.

The Jazz were no surprise, with a 90-102, 12-point gap, swallowing the bitter fruit of defeat at Stamps.

From beginning to end, the Jazz were pressed and beaten by the Clippers, and there was no chance of turning over.

After all, there are two important inside lines missing, and the difference in strength is really a bit big.

However, in this game, Li Liang did not score like crazy, but played Blake Griffin with Paul.

Griffin was in excellent shape tonight, scoring 40 points on 13-of-20 shooting, and dunks the Jazz players were dizzying.

The Clippers continue their winning streak.

On December 30, the Clippers will play their last game of the year against the Phoenix Suns.

This is their second season of rebuilding after Nash's departure, and the Suns are looking pretty good.

The Suns are also a traditional offensive team and are very good at developing point guards.

One season, their starting point guard was Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd was the first bench on the bench, and Steve Nash was the second bench.

When it comes to collecting point guards, the Suns are similar to the Clippers collecting small forwards.

The Suns have goran Dragic this season and seem to have the answer to their No. 1 spot.

The Slovenian point guard has improved rapidly, averaging 20 points per game and becoming a key player in the rebuilding of the Suns.

The Suns also have a record of 17 wins and 13 losses, more than 50 percent, and are among the playoff teams.

Li Liang still remembers that when he was with the Lakers last season, playing the Suns was the easiest, because the Suns' lineup and style of play were defeated by the Lakers.

But like Jazz, after a summer, the sun pooped.

Their style is completely different from last season, and they embark on a crazy three-point journey.

As an offensive team, the Suns have historically shot a lot of three-pointers.

This season they are back to making three-point shots.

The starting five players, except for center Plumlee, the other four are three-point experts.

On the Clippers' side, only Li Liang can be regarded as a real three-point player in the starter.

Paul was accurate with three-point accuracy, but it was the mid-range that he really killed.

Barnes won't talk about it, there is a little bit of it, it's completely unreliable.

Griffin only occasionally makes a three-pointer, Jordan Jr...... Forget it, there is no such thing as him in the attack.

The Clippers are still essentially a mid-range team, with Paul, Griffin, and Crawford shooting a lot.

And the Suns knew that their strength was not as good as the Clippers, so they let go of the three-point shot.

I didn't expect that such a thing as three points was really a mess of punching the master to death.

In the first quarter, the Suns beat the Clippers 30-25 and led by five points.

In the second quarter, the Suns continued to score three points off the bench, while the Clippers suddenly went silent on the offensive end.

Substitute dumb fire, after the main force returns, it is still a dumb fire.

In the third quarter, Li Liang began to shoot outside three-pointers and the Suns.

It didn't even go unexpectedly!

The Suns' name is Gerald Green, the former nine-finger dunk king.

In the third quarter, if his three-point points were helped, he would pull up the ball directly when he got the ball from the outside and throw it, and throw it in.

As a result, he just lived with Li Liang.

In the fourth quarter, the Suns led all the way, and Dragic made consecutive key shots to extinguish the Clippers' comeback momentum.

In the end, the Clippers didn't hold on to the last game of 2013, losing the game by a 109-97 upset and a 12-point deficit at home.

The Suns shot 15 of 31 three-pointers from the field, shooting nearly 50 percent.

Among them, Gerard Green made 6 of 10 three-point shots, Channingfrye shot 4 of 7, and Dragic shot 2 of 3.

can't stop it, it really can't be stopped, and Jordan can't stop it.

With a little regret, Li Liang ended his 2013.

2014 awaits him with even greater challenges.
