Chapter 383: The Best Player

The Clippers' bench defense is indeed problematic.

Over the past two years, Glo has been building the Clippers' bench and they have recruited a number of talented players.

But that talent is often reflected in offense rather than defense.

Accumulating offensive talent on the bench is actually a waste, because the second team of many strong teams is an all-round starter, and several other functional players, the defense does not collapse, and the offense can eat cakes.

And Clippers management has been trying to create a "versatile, talented, league-rich" bench gang.

As a result, the Clippers' bench can sometimes attack and cripple opponents in waves, and sometimes kill opponents in waves.

Rivers himself was not clear about this.

Think of the Celtics in 2008, who recruited on the bench for a championship, PJ Brown, James Posey, Tony Allen, all of whom were defensive stalwarts.

When it comes time to fight for the bayonets in the playoffs, the defense of the role players off the bench is a victory, and the offense can be solved by the superstars.

In the Negro era, the Clippers tried to rely on the bench, the regular season was okay, and the playoffs were not beaten to the point that they didn't know their mother.

In the two years Paul has been here, the Clippers bench has received the most praise from two people, one Kenyon Martin and one Reggie Evans.

They were all defensive players, and as a result, the Clippers didn't keep them.

Now glance at their benches, Crawford still occupies an important position with the ball.

Hollins was too slow for Gasol to keep up.

Darren Chris who came off Paul's bench was the same height as Paul.

You're one Paul and you're boundless, and you're going to have another one?

As for Griffin...... The first quarter was a lot of fun, and the second quarter started to be a little sluggish.

What can really be used and used well on the bench is actually Matt Barnes alone.

But Barnes alone can't make up so many holes.

During the pause, Rivers paddled and reminded the players to slow down the pace and retreat quickly.

Rivers was about to get the players back on the court when Li Liang suddenly popped up and said, "Why don't you let me play?" ”

Rivers said, "Oh, it's not time yet, be patient." ”

Li Liang didn't say anything more, and Rivers breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought, what's going on, Lao Tzu is a coach, why explain to him and let him be patient?

Li Liang really can't look at it, Rivers, why don't you understand, why are you so rigid?

Do you have to change people at the right time?

Isn't it the right tactic to replace your best players and play all the time?

Li Liang sat on the bench and shook his head, saying in his heart that the current NBA coaches are too rigid.

It's better to Mike Brown, if it's Brown, don't say a word, "On Bruce Lee!" ”

Isn't that the problem solved?

It seems that Rivers, the coach, still needs to slowly adjust him.

This guy talks a lot of nonsense, a bunch of things before and after the game, and he said it impassionedly, Li Liang felt that it was useless.

Maybe Little Jordan's simple-minded mind will be enthusiastic when he listens to it, Li Liang just feels bored.

Playing ball, just to win, whether you play chicken blood or not, drink chicken soup or not, Lao Tzu has to win.

After the timeout, Rivers' adjustments really didn't work.

Crawford took the ball from the outside and threw a three-pointer himself, but he didn't score......

If Li Liang is a coach, he will directly take off his shoes and smash Crawford's head to make him sober and sober.

Is that how Lao Tzu arranged it for you?

And on the defensive end, the Clippers' interior defense has problems again.

In the same way, Ci Shiping broke through the basket in the bottom corner of the left side, and then made a ground-hitting pass to Gasol, who easily hooked up!

31:24, only 7 points short!

The defending champions still have the strength.

On the Lakers bench, Mike Brown breathed a sigh of relief and wasn't dead yet.

It can be said that the creation of the Lakers' second lineup really depends on Li Liang's suggestion.

Now Li Liang is not there, but the playing style and rhythm of the Lakers' second team are still there.

Gasol is handy with the second team chasing points.

The Lakers chased the points, which made Rivers a little unable to sit still.

Finally, after Crawford's continuous dribbling from the outside, he made a mid-range jumper and scored two points to ease the situation.

Crawford is like that, you have to say he's useless, a lot of times he can really score one-on-one.

If you want to say that he is useful, after a game, I always feel that winning has little to do with him, but he has to be responsible for losing.

Subsequently, the Lakers used the same routine for the third time in their offense.

Go to the baseline and then distribute the ball to the player who cuts inside.

But this time Barnes successfully blocked Blake's pass, and the Clippers won the ball.

Darren Collison took the ball himself and slammed it to the basket to cause Gasol's foul.

Get to the free throw line.

The Clippers finally stabilized the situation a bit.

But Li Liang was a headache when he saw it off the field, what a mess this fight was.

That is, the Lakers only have one point on Gasol, and they have scored a lot of points in a row, and the Clippers know to target it.

As long as the Lakers have a strong ball point on the outside, the point difference will be erased for a while.

And in the Clippers' offense, they don't know how to make good use of Griffin.

Several times in a row, the offensive perimeter players played by themselves, and they didn't give Griffin a hand, and organized the offense.

This tactical literacy, Li Liang is really anxious.

Collison hit both free throws, and the Clippers continued to maintain their advantage.

But on the Lakers' side, the offense has been turned on.

Steve Blake forced Collison on the left side, then got past Hollins' defense and scored a pick-and-roll with his left hand!

Blake can fly up and pick up baskets, and the Clippers don't know what to defend.

To add insult to injury, Griffin easily got the ball, but was picked up by Ci Shiping and broke the ball!

After Ci Shiping broke the ball, he went straight to the basket and made a layup!

35:28, still a 7-point difference.

Subsequently, Griffin was caught in the low post in the attack.

Griffin passed the ball to Barnes at the top of the arc, Barnes held the ball and rushed to the basket and missed!

In the end, Barnes wanted to tell the referee that it was a foul, but the referee didn't blow the whistle.

The Lakers fight back.

Blake distributed the ball to Xavier Henry on the wing, Henry changed direction and passed Crawford in front of him, and then made a low-handed layup!

At 35:30, only 5 points away!

Henry is another addition to the Lakers this season, with an unguaranteed base salary.

Judging from his current performance in the first game, this base salary is still worth it.

The Lakers' series of offenses made the Clippers have a blue nose and swollen face, and Rivers' timeout called for no effect at all.

Rivers still doesn't call a timeout, and it would be too shameful to call a timeout again.

Thankfully, the Clippers' bench withstood it, Barnes.

After missing a three-pointer at the top of the arc, the ball bounced into Crawford's hands.

Barnes cut inside quickly and Crawford finally got the ball into Barnes' hands.

Barnes pushed Gasol very hard and forced a layup!

The ball is very crucial, and Barnes is also a long arm that is not afraid of Gasol.

Hollins was then fouled while defending Gasol on the inside.

Rivers patted Li Liang and Paul on the bench and signaled that the two were ready to play.

Li Liang looked at the time, there were 7 minutes left in the second quarter, and they all played 5 minutes!

The main team of the Clippers returned to the court, watching his teammates being replaced, Li Liang really wanted to scold, "You are the worst substitute I have ever had!" “

The second worst is on the opposite side of the Lakers.

Li Liang is absolutely dissatisfied with the Clippers' style of play.

The main force is ahead, and the substitutes come up to dig holes, which is the most annoying.

However, Rivers is also in the tactical run-in period now, and after a few more games, he will understand a lot of the truth.

Gasol hit both free throws, and the Lakers continued to bite the score.

At this time, Li Liang began to attack the off-ball run.

After passing the ball to Griffin on the left, he spared a big circle from the baseline to the bottom right corner.

Jordan Jr. and Butler covered him, Griffin returned the ball to Paul, and Paul immediately passed the ball to Li Liang in the bottom right corner.

Nick Yang, who was staring at Li Liang, was staring at it, and when he saw Li Liang receiving the ball and was about to shoot, he jumped high and reached out to interfere with the block.

As a result, the ball did not touch, but hit Li Liang's hand.

At the same time, Li Liang still threw the ball!

The ball hit the basket twice and ended up in the net.

"Beep!" The referee blows the whistle.

The ball is scored, the three points are counted, and the penalty is added!

There was silence throughout Stamps.

It's hurting, it's hurting, Bruce Lee stabbed Lakers fans as soon as he came up.

The camera was given to the Lakers bench, and Kobe Bryant's face was very bad and a little helpless.

If Kobe Bryant can play, there is a chance that he will be one-on-one with Li Liang.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Liang hit a free throw and scored four points successfully.

As soon as Li Liang came on the court, the Clippers' defense immediately went up a notch.

On the Lakers' side, Howard was also re-on, but the outside shot missed, and Howard wanted to grab the frontcourt rebound, but was firmly stuck by Li Liang, allowing Jordan Jr. to easily pick up a rebound.

In the past, Jordan Jr. helped others to rebound in the team, or tried his best to grab it, and few people gave him rebounds.

The ball was given to Paul, and Paul gave the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang didn't want to organize, so he threw it back to Paul, "Vote for yourself!" ”

Li Liang asked Paul to vote for himself.

So, Paul faced Nash one-on-one and hit a two-point shot from the high post.

This ball Nash is back, and at the same time, the Lakers' defensive formation is compressed a little flat, and there is no one in the high post.

The chrysanthemum stabilized again.

Li Liang still does his job well, making up defense, assisting defense, grabbing rebounds in the card position, and three points at a fixed point.

As for the offensive work with the ball, except for the first quarter of the fast attack showed a handful of grandeur, Li Liang has not yet revealed his offensive skills with the ball.

After all, it's only the first half, so shouldn't you save the show for the second half?

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at 56-47, and the Clippers led the Lakers by nine points.

The Clippers didn't play very well in the second quarter, and the second team played quite chaotic when they were on the court.

The most important thing is to let the Lakers slow down in the early part of the second quarter, and the offense slowly opens up.

It's impossible for the Clippers to kill the Lakers in another wave.

Returning to the locker room after halftime, Li Liang thought that with the Clippers' current lineup scheduling and tactical literacy, the playoffs would be held to the death.

Unless Li Liang uses props wildly and raises his strength to another level, he can change his life against the sky, otherwise there is still a distance from the championship.

What to do, with 5 million Coach Li, of course, it is necessary to slowly pass on the championship experience to this team that has no background in history.

Teach them how to win the championship.

And Li Liang's first step is to prove that I am the best player in the team.
