?? Every time he played against the King, Cousins, a living treasure, always had to contribute a little bit of performance.

Either it's a "big display of technical fouls", or a "bitter and hateful emoji", or "the essence of human covers".

Anyway, competing with Cousins, Li Liang always feels very happy, which can be regarded as a kind of entertainment and relaxation.

However, Cousins actually played quite well tonight, using his weight, reach, and dribbling skills to constantly impact the interior, causing huge problems for the Clippers' interior line.

And the Kings have set a good example for other teams, don't think that the Clippers are afraid of them because they seem to have strong interior defense, but instead impact their interior more and fight hard with Griffin, Jordan Jr., and Li Liang in order to better hit the Clippers' defense.

Because the Clippers' outside defense is relatively poor, Mike Brown's start to Barnes has greatly alleviated this problem.

But once Barnes is off and Crawford is up, the Clippers' two backcourts are almost the same as protecting the basket, rebounding, and helping to defend.

The burden on Li Liang and Little Jordan will be very heavy.

If the opponent continues to attack, like a battering ram, there will always be loopholes and cracks.

On the Clippers' bench, no second tough interior defender can step up to replace Jordan Jr. and Li Liang.

And Li Liang is still half an insider, sometimes he has to defend the opponent's arrows and help defend the backcourt double leakage.

If he gets into a foul crisis, or is targeted for a shot, the Clippers' defense is bound to have problems.

It can only be said that Mike Brown's expectations and requirements for Li Liang are too high, and the position he is placed and the tasks assigned are at the level of the best defensive player.

The best defensive player level defender is not only to defend the opponent's offense in one or two rounds or for a period of time, but also to be able to clearly see the effective containment of the opponent's offense over a long period of time and in dozens of statistics.

This kind of standard, Li Liang himself asked himself and felt that he could not meet it.

But Mike Brown thinks Li Liang can.

Why, it's used to coming out.

As soon as his mouth moves, Li Liang can learn it, isn't it simple?

How does Mike Brown know how much sweat and wisdom Li Liang has to put into the system.

It was relatively easy to practice earlier, but now as the ability value rises, the task becomes more and more difficult.

Brown asked Li Liang to practice his interior defense more, and Li Liang felt the pressure from the opponent's interior line.

If he really wants to make a bigger contribution to the defense of the No. 4 position, his [basic defensive ability on the inside] value is not enough at the moment.

The last time I did the task of [Basic Defensive Ability on the Inside] was to deal with Duncan.

At that time, in order to complete this task, Li Liang worked hard, spent a lot of time, and did a lot of other tasks to complete.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to complete the tasks in the City of Angels book.

After returning home after playing the game with the King, Li Liangjin glanced at the second volume of the City of Angels book, the [Lame Old Captain] mission, which is related to Bill Wharton, and the opponent is Nima Lakers!

Hey, the Clippers are such a bad team, and the mission is either to fight the Celtics or the Lakers.

It can only be said that if you want to turn over, you can only step on the corpse of the former king.

Li Liang thought about it for a while, and decided to take time to continue to improve his interior defensive ability, and then did the task of the City of Angels book.

After all, there is another skill to take.

However, the NBA schedule is very intensive, and Li Liang has no time to do tasks for the time being.

On November 24, the day after playing the game against the Kings, the Clippers hosted the Chicago Bulls in Game 2 of a back-to-back at home.

The match was supposed to be a high-profile matchup, as it involved the pairing of two super point guards – Chris Paul and Derrick Rose.

In the current NBA, excellent point guards and dual-energy guards emerge in an endless stream, and in the six years from 2008 to 2013, three of the champions were point guards.

In other picks, a number of excellent No. 1 positions such as Curry, Westbrook, and Holiday have also emerged.

And their abuse can be said to be the champion Ross in 2008.

Before Rose, the last point guard was back in 1996 when Allen Iverson was born.

After Iverson, for a decade from 1997 to 2007, the top pick was almost dominated by players at center and power forward, with the only exception being LeBron James, who was still a small forward.

And Rose's arrival and success, to a certain extent, have played an exemplary role for the point guard at the back to be valued.

It's just that injury in the '12 playoffs changed everything.

After missing out on an entire season of 13 years, Rose has taken a big break this season compared to his MVP season.

However, what is even more deadly is that in the last game of the Bulls against the Portland Trail Blazers, Rose was injured again!

Portlanders, you're miserable enough, how can you be unlucky to play ball with you?

Rose suffered a recurrence of an old injury in the third quarter, suffering excruciating knee pain, and finally left the court on crutches.

Needless to say, there is more than one bad luck.

Because of Rose's injury, the Bulls' championship plan is going to be affected again, and I don't know how much patience they have left with Rose.

In the face of Rose's situation, Li Liang became more concerned about his equipment.

Socks stink, knee pads are ugly, and when you play on the court, what can be more important than health besides victory?

What was originally a point guard showdown that attracted national attention in the United States suddenly became a little boring.

The Bulls lost Rose all of a sudden, and they lost more than just a first-round pick, an MVP, and a core point guard.

What they have lost is more than a season of hope that has been patiently waiting to gather, and the suffocating despair that comes with it.

This kind of desperation has been experienced by Chinese fans in Yao Ming.

Many people know that Rose is likely to never return to his peak form if he is injured again.

The roses of the Windy City may be about to wither in the rose garden.

The morale of the entire Bulls team has been greatly affected and affected.

Morale is very, very important for a defensive team.

The Bulls, under the leadership of Thibodeau, are again on an iron-blooded defensive route.

Every night, their players have to be passionate on the defensive end to play well.

Now that the hope of winning the championship is gone, how can the passion last forever?

On the night of the 24th, in Stamps, the mourning Bulls faced the Clippers, who were in good shape and had an excellent lineup.

The so-called mourning soldier will win, but the bull lacks the belief that he will win.

For one, it's the regular season, not the playoffs, and it's the beginning of the season.

Second, one of the ripple effects of Rose's injury is that the Bulls are likely to have to rebuild ahead of schedule.

In the 24 hours since Rose's injury, there have been quite a few trade rumors circulating in the media.

Ruhr Deng, Mike Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer have all been embroiled in the rumors.

In such a situation, of course, it is not easy for the team to lead.

In the middle of the game, it turned out that Rose's substitute Hinrich was the starter, Hinrich was a qualified point guard, but on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, there was no way to put Paul under enough pressure anyway.

At the beginning of the game, Li Liang received a pass from Paul on the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Li Liang opened with three points, which is not good news for any team.

The Bulls were obviously not prepared well before the game, and neither the coach nor the players were carefully arranged.

Generally speaking, the Bulls' defensive line has at least three layers, one on the outside, one in the middle, and one under the basket in the three-second zone.

And in this game, Paul, Griffin, and Li Liang can basically have a chance after one or two blocks.

Paul's pass is so precise and in place, and Li Liang's hand is very good.

Li Liang hit three three-pointers in the first quarter and led the Clippers to an 11-point lead over the Bulls at 35:24 in the first quarter.

With the margin in double digits so quickly, it's too hard for a defensive team like the Bulls to chase points.

In the second quarter, the Clippers were playing more and more smoothly, and in addition to Li Liang, Crawford, Collison and even Griffin began to shoot three-pointers.

The Clippers are a team, in the past, you have to say that there are not many people who send charcoal in the snow, and it is common to send in the snow, and the icing on the cake is very good.

In the face of the bulls, once they are much ahead, the players are like bloodthirsty sharks desperately stepping forward to eat flesh and blood.

Rushing to the front... Of course, it is Li Liang who rushes to the front!

Finally found an opportunity to brush data, how could Li Liang miss it, is he easy?

In the third quarter of the game, Li Liang and Jamison, two Lakers veterans, came on the court and began to chase the Bulls.

Jamison knows Li Liang's temperament, and he cooperates with Li Liang very well on the field, and the pass sent by Li Liang is a catch and throw, which can be regarded as an assist for Li Liang.

Li Liang finished the third quarter and already had 11 assists.

All he wants now is assists, because it's hard for him to score another 60 points in a game.

The difference between the two sides has widened to nearly 30 points.

Before the start of the third quarter, the score was 97:68, a full 29 points.

The whole stub turned into garbage time.

Will Li Liang let go of the opportunity to be the king of heaven?

Even if Rivers didn't want him to play, Li Liang would ask to play with a gun against Rivers' head.

Paul scored 11 points and had seven assists in the third quarter, which was a mediocre stat.

Because Paul just wants to win, he doesn't want to get an assist.

Li Lianglin said to Paul before he came on the court, "Chris, look at the score difference, it's 29 points, half, and there is still half left, do you want me to help you finish it?" ”

Paul looked at Li Liang, this guy is inexplicable, what is half, what is going to be accomplished?

didn't have time to think about it, Li Liang had already appeared on the stage wearing the medal of the garbage king!

The garbage king is really a king, and he has complete control over the garbage time!

In the fourth quarter, Li Liang scored 9 points and handed out 10 assists.

In the end, he helped the Clippers defeat the Bulls by a huge margin of 131:88 and 43 points at home.

Li Liang scored 28 points and 21 assists in double 20 statistics.

At the same time, in order to avoid a triple-double, Li Liang frantically conceded the board and only grabbed 5 rebounds.

As a result, Li Liang successfully obtained the achievement [the first double twenty] and got a chance to draw a lottery.

However, at the end of the game, Li Liang was still a little frustrated, he walked up to Paul and said, "I'm sorry for the cannon, I couldn't complete the task, how do you say that?" Yes? Or in the playoffs......"

Paul didn't want to pay attention to Li Liang anymore, gave Li Liang a roll of his eyes, and withdrew from the court!
