Chris Paul is undoubtedly one of the best players in the league.

But he's always a little bit away from the "top".

And it's that little bit that determines whether you're a real winner or a successful loser in the NBA.

At half-time, Rivers was in the locker room constantly emphasizing the team's defense, as well as some problems in the details.

Rivers' coaching style is very different from Brown's.

Rivers is very eloquent, and some plain words will make people feel very motivated when they reach his mouth.

This is one of the characteristics of a player-type coach, who is good at inspiring.

And Rivers has a lot of respect for his players, which is both a plus and a minus.

The advantage is that the relationship between the players and the coach is not too bad and they are willing to listen to him.

The downside is that sometimes some players don't play well, and you don't criticize them, and the result is that the problem is not solved.

One of the reasons for Rivers' success with the Celtics is that the veterans on the team have replaced the coach's requisite reprimanding function.

For example, Kevin Garnett's big mouth, you don't defend well on the court, Garnett has to scold you.

When he arrived at the Clippers, Rivers found that there was a guy who was scolding people, probably even more vicious than Garnett.

That's naturally Li Liang.

Since the preseason, Li Liang has been scolding.

Not to mention the regular season, which was chattering all the time in the first half.

Li Liang's scolding is still the same as last season, as soon as the hair dryer is turned on, he doesn't swear, but just points out the problem realistically.

Rivers sometimes listens to Li Liang scolding too much, and he will play a round, but next time he should scold, let Li Liang continue to scold.

Because Rivers knew he needed someone like Garnett to boost the team's defense and morale.

Therefore, as soon as Rivers finished saying chicken soup at halftime, Li Liang began to turn on the hair dryer to spray people.

"What are you defending, huh? The first game of the season is very important, do you know if you are a little energetic, do you want to win the championship! From the first game you have to give it your all, you have to play our defense, do you think you can play loose and loose and then you can get nervous? No way, it's impossible! Keep your fighting spirit strong from the start! ”

Li Liang repeatedly emphasized that he had to maintain his strength and fighting spirit from the beginning, but felt that he could find his form slowly.

The Clippers still have a lot of old oilers on this team, and they have been in the NBA for many years.

You want to say that they don't play well, each of them has two brushes and can take charge on their own.

You have to say you played well, you haven't proven yourself in really big games so far.

Needless to say, Crawford hasn't played a single playoff game in his first nine years in the NBA.

He didn't start his playoff journey until he arrived with the Hawks, and his performance in each playoff game was always down compared to the regular season.

Needless to say, the defense is as good as ever, and the average points and shooting percentage per game in terms of scoring are definitely not as good as in the regular season.

In the playoffs last season, the average points per game did not break 10, which did not provide enough firepower for the team.

And Barnes, who has been working hard and doing a lot of work with a low salary, but in the playoffs, he can't always hit that damn three-point shot.

Butler was once the All-Rookie First Team, a two-time All-Star, and his strength goes without saying.

He is also the only player on the Clippers team to have a championship ring other than Li Liang and Jamison.

But where did he get his ring, in the Dallas Mavericks, as the team's No. 2 scorer, the playoffs were reimbursed, and the Mavericks won the championship......

Lying down and taking a championship!

Such a player gives people the feeling that he has strength, but there is always something missing between him and the "champion member".

Li Liang didn't know what the difference was, but he knew what he should do if he wanted to win the championship.

Once you have set the goal of winning the championship, then from the first game of the season, the first goal, you have to go all out to win.

It wasn't until the end of the championship in June that it was over.

Li Liang's words were silent in the entire Clippers locker room, and no one dared to refute them.

The hair dryer was buzzing, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Finally, Li Liang said: "In the second half of the game, we have to cheer up and pay attention to each of your opponents, even if we are stronger than our opponents." A great man of our country once said that we should despise our opponents strategically and attach importance to our opponents tactically. The Lakers won't be a stumbling block in our path this season, a lot of teams won't, but we have to focus on the game, beat them, and make us who we are. ”

Regarding the ability to pour chicken soup, Li Liang has also learned a lot.

After saying that, the break was over and the players had to get back to the game.

The Clippers players felt a little different from before, in the past, Paul stood up and spoke, but this time he made a substitution.

But since Paul didn't say anything, everyone had no opinion.

As for why Paul didn't speak, because Paul felt that what Li Liang said was too TM right!

There are some things that Paul has wanted to say for a long time, but Paul still has to save face and maintain the demeanor of a big brother.

It's like Li Liang, a faceless and skinless person, who cares about him three seven twenty-one, and scolds him.

There is no awareness of outsiders at all, and they are so domineering.

And the socks stink, and the entire Clippers locker room smelled of stinky socks.

It is said that the pair of socks he wore had not been washed in a season when the Lakers wore them, and they were his lucky socks.

In fact, this is the wish Li Liang, Li Liang's socks are washed every day, but the things sent by the system are very strong, and they have been worn for a season, and they can still be worn with high-intensity polishing.

But the stinky is also a real stinky.

The Clippers' players have no choice but to endure both Li Liang's stinky mouth and his stinky socks.

But if this can bring the championship, everyone is willing.

……

The third quarter began, and both sides returned to the court.

In the first half, Li Liang played ordinary, normal performance, shooting 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 10 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds.

The Clippers scored the most points with Blake Griffin, who played quite aggressively after the Lakers were without Li Liang.

17 points in the half, that is, only 3 rebounds were grabbed, all of which were snatched away by Li Liang and Jordan Jr.

On the first offense in the third quarter, Nash and Nick Young made a pick-and-roll cover and distributed the ball to Nick Young.

Nick Young catches the ball from outside the three-point line and misses.

Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound inside, passed the ball to Paul, and went down quickly.

After Paul's continuous confusing dribbling pass feints, he gave the ball to Li Liang at 45 degrees on the left side, and Li Liang received the ball and was about to throw.

This time, Nick Yang rushed up, did not jump again, but stopped the car and approached Li Liang.

At halftime, Bryant and Mike Brown focused on reminding Nick Young not to eat his feints when defending Li Liang.

Just stick it to the body to prevent it.

It is indeed possible to replace Li Liang from last season, Li Liang usually chooses to return the ball to his teammates, reorganize the attack, and start running himself.

But this season's Li Liang is no longer the same, the improvement of [Basic Dribbling] is not given in vain!

As soon as Nick Yang posted it, Li Liang immediately collected the ball, then dribbled and stepped forward, and accelerated past Nick Young!

Li Liang held the ball and hit the three-second zone, and the Lakers' current defense, once the outside line is passed, the middle will be empty.

No one went around to fix the leaks, and only Howard was left to make up for it.

As a result, Li Liang was on the edge of the three-second zone, facing Howard who was catching up, and hit a close-range jumper!

Li Liang still doesn't have enough confidence in his layup, but hitting the board jumper is his unique skill.

followed Sam Jones to practice this long-lost board jumper, which Li Liang used when he was fast attacking, which was a surprise weapon.

In the three-second zone, the ribs are two 45 degrees, and the throw is simply too comfortable.

Mike Brown scratched his head and said that Li Liang had practiced the ball-handling offense in the summer?

It doesn't make sense, I really didn't let him practice this time.

Then, the Lakers fell into a state of dumb fire again in the offense.

Mike Brown wanted Howard to attack, but Jordan Jr. defended well, and Howard missed the hook.

Griffin grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Li Liang again.

When they arrived on the outside, Li Liang and Paul passed back and forth twice, Li Liang adjusted his pace, and received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side and shot directly into three points!

Brown's letting Nick Young defend Li Liang was a disaster at all, and he didn't know how to defend it.

As a result, Li Liang hit another three-pointer from the outside, and the third quarter started with a 5:0.

Subsequently, Nash was suddenly caught by Paul and Li Liang when attacking, and the pass was wrong.

Paul cut off the ball and passed it to Li Liang, who controlled the ball himself and went down quickly.

Ci Shiping chased after the confrontation on his side, but Li Liangqiu did not fall, but avoided Ci Shiping's steal in a loop, and jumped with a right hand to pick up the basket!

Ci Shiping was surprised, and said in his heart that this kid is capable, in the face of confrontational defense, he can dribble and make a layup by himself!

Li Liang beat the Lakers a 7:0.

Now Lakers fans know that Bruce Lee has evolved again.

He was like a fast-growing monster, constantly improving.

In just a few months, he has developed a part of the ball-handling offense.

It's horrible.

At this point, the Lakers' offense was completely out of order.

Howard still missed the attack with the ball in the low post, and Li Liang got the rebound and made a long pass to the basket.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. missed back-to-back layups, and Nash got the ball back in return and wanted to return the Clippers with a long pass to counterattack.

As a result, Nash's passing path was recognized by Li Liang, and Li Liang intercepted the pass in the middle!

Li Liang re-passed the ball to Paul, Paul held the ball outside and waited for a while, waited for Li Liang to follow, and then returned the ball to Li Liang.

The two of them are on the outside, and Li Liang can shoot directly as soon as he gets the ball.

Another three-pointer!

It's still empty, and it's in again!

Li Liang directly made a 10:0 and knocked the Lakers apart.

It hurt so much self-esteem that the Lakers' defense collapsed at the start of the third quarter.

Because at halftime, Mike Brown's defensive focus is still on the interior, or on preventing the penetration of the Clippers and rebounding in the frontcourt.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang broke out in a wave and was about to take the Lakers away.

Sure enough, the knife only knew that it hurt when it hit him, and last season the Lakers used Li Liang's knife to cut a lot of people, but this time he finally took a beat, and it really hurt.

Although Mike Brown called a timeout, he still shook his head because he really didn't know what could be done to contain it.

Li Liang used his classic wave to suppress the Lakers, and the difference was stretched to almost 20 points.

This is the difference between Li Liang and Paul.

No matter how good Paul is, his scoring ability is also very strong, but it is impossible to score consecutive points like Li Liang.

Basketball is complicated, but sometimes it's also as simple as you can score.

Li Liang is better than Paul and can make the game easy.

20 points, without Kobe, basically announced that the Lakers were suspended.

There is a kobe, that is, the death penalty is carried out immediately.

In the rest of the games, Li Liang fully showed the results of his summer training.

While there are no fancy breaks, or flashy dribbles, they are all very simple but practical tricks.

Midway through the third quarter, the Clippers stretched the margin to 25 points.

However, between the third and fourth quarters, the Lakers still made some waves.

Xavier Henry on their guard line suddenly broke out and hit three 3-pointers from the outside, giving the Lakers hope of chasing points for a while.

And the Clippers' bench is as uncompetitive as ever, and it still has to be the main players to come up and suppress the Lakers again with one operation.

In the end, the Clippers easily defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, their rival Los Angeles Lakers, with a huge advantage of 22 points in Stamps, giving the Lakers a black start.

Li Liang scored 25 points in this game, handed out 8 assists and 9 rebounds, and almost had a triple-double.

However, Li Liang has no interest in triple-doubles, this system is biased against triple-doubles, and he will not be rewarded if he gets triple-doubles, so Li Liang has no motivation.

With the achievements of various "first stats" in the first season, Li Liang wants to achieve new achievements and must play a more beautiful game.
