The second quarter of the game began, and the second teams on both sides continued to face off.

On the Clippers' side, Crawford hit a three-pointer in the second quarter to help the Clippers widen the gap even further.

And on the Mavericks' side, Devin Harrison and Carter are on the scene.

Harris and Carter did a cross-screen, then used Blair's cover to get into the three-second zone and hit a throw.

Devin Harris is back in the same place, once sent to the Nets to trade to Kidd, became a lightning bolt with the Nets, and finally fell quickly.

Now that his figure is obviously fat and his face is a lot rounder, he is back to the Lone Ranger to spend the last period of his career.

He's not as fast as he used to be, after all, he's the guy who's set the record for the fastest dribble over the court, but his assault ability is still there.

In addition to veterans such as Harris and Carter, Nowitzki also stayed on the court.

In this respect, Nowitzki's character is very similar to Griffin's, but Nowitzki's burden is heavier.

The Mavericks, who were not present without Nowitzki, often did not know how to play, even though the German tank was 36 years old.

Therefore, the Clippers' defense of Nowitzki is still tight, as soon as he catches the ball, there will be a double bag coming over.

Rivers knew that Nowitzki was the eye of the Mavericks, blocking Nowitzki's point, and the Mavericks' offense would not work at all, and could only be piecemeal, not a threat.

But nowitzki was in good shape tonight, he held the ball high, and in the face of the Clippers' double bag, he turned and passed Griffin!

Crawford came from the line to flank the shot, but the poor coordination with Griffin caused Nowitzki to leak out of his back, and as a result, Nowitzki turned his back on a dribble past Griffin, burst into the basket from the left side, and then made a left-handed layup.

If there's any flaw in the Clippers' roster, it's that there isn't a single qualified backup center other than Jordan Jr.

Hollins is relatively soft as a substitute center, and can only barely complete the interior task, and there is no way to do a good job of protecting the basket in the short time of the second lineup.

As soon as the ball was played, the Clippers missed the attack, and Devin Harris used his speed to get to the basket again, and an acceleration past Hollins scored a layup.

The Mavericks narrowed the gap to seven points.

The Clippers have been hoping for a better backup center in the free agency and trade markets, but have never been able to do so.

After all, it is impossible for you to take advantage of everything.

Mike Brown once proposed that Li Liang occasionally take on the role of center guarding the basket, saying that he could.

The proposal was vetoed by Rivers, believing that it would put too much pressure on Li Liang, especially if he could easily get into foul trouble.

In order to "develop" Li Liang, Mike Brown wants to let him play all positions on the court - including the head coach.

Rivers is still relatively calm, and he wants to use Li Liang reasonably.

Yes, it is good to use it wisely.

Li Liang himself didn't think so.

He sat on the sidelines and watched the second lineup of the two sides come and go, and he was a little anxious.

Why don't you let me get on?

Li Liang is not the rookie he was last year, but his desire to play has never waned.

Especially this one, he's ready for a good fight.

With Nowitzki hitting another three-pointer on the offensive end, the Mavericks trailed the deficit to just five points.

Rivers called a timeout, and the Clippers offense was in trouble.

The ball can't pass to Griffin's hands, and the Mavericks' defensive strategy is to let you shoot from the outside rather than give Griffin an easy chance to play alone.

Carlisle knows that the Clippers' second team is stronger than Griffin, and Crawford is honest, the playoffs are not as good as the regular season.

Under the fast-paced and high-intensity confrontation, his outside shooting percentage dropped significantly.

Li Liang and Paul are both sitting on the court, and Carlisle is ready to wait for them to play before readjusting the defensive strategy.

Carlisle was set up correctly, and Rivers realized this and immediately replaced him with Li Liang.

Before his debut, Rivers' main instruction to Li Liang was "don't foul".

What Rivers is most afraid of now is that Li Liang will foul too much in defense because of the fierce confrontation, which will cause the team's offensive firepower to not continue.

The Mavericks are obviously different from those young teams who are just making the playoffs, they are in playoff form from the start, and they are very old in terms of pacing and tactical arrangement.

They are experienced veterans, from coaches to players, so the Clippers can do nothing unpretentious, but they must not make big mistakes.

Rivers just hopes that the Clippers can win the game steadily, as long as they don't make mistakes, the Clippers' strength is stable over the Mavericks.

Li Liang doesn't think so, what did Rivers say, "don't foul", is Lao Tzu on the court just to not foul?

You think I'm Sakuragi Hanamichi, the king of Los Angeles.

Li Liang is ready to show off his skills and start his performance.

At the end of the timeout, the Clippers sent a sideline ball, and Li Liang came to serve.

Li Liang gave Paul a look, and Paul understood.

Paul is not Curry, Li Liang and Curry use eye coordination, it is a disaster, I don't know what the two of them are thinking in their heads.

Paul suddenly made an open cut into the basket and drew two defenders.

Li Liang immediately passed the ball to Paul, who pretended to go inside, attracting the defensive attention of the Mavericks' three men, and then dribbled around.

At this time, Li Liang had already stepped into the arena and cut directly to the basket from the weak side, Paul saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Li Liang with a diagonal attack.

Li Liang received the ball and dribbled straight to the basket in one step, and the basket was already empty!

Li Liang jumped high and buckled with one hand!

Buckled......

The ball flew directly to the technical table, and it also smashed a technician.

Li Liang's ball was too strong, but he didn't grasp the ball steadily, and the ball bounced off the basket, but it just popped up.

Shame on you!

The first person in the regular season who is about to win the MVP, in the first game of the playoffs, came to a flying slam dunk and smashed people.

Paul's eyes were full of contempt when he looked at Li Liang, can't you go to the basket if you don't dunk?

You're better at your pull-up jump shot than a dunk, and your dunk percentage is almost as good as your shot.

Li Liang felt very embarrassed, and he wanted to perform, and came to such a result.

When Li Liang returned to the defense, he went to the technical desk and apologized to the technician.

It seems that he is still suitable for shooting three-pointers.

However, Li Liang's flying ball paralyzed the lone ranger to a certain extent!

They didn't think it was going to be in good shape tonight, but that wasn't the case.

Then, Blair grabbed a rebound in the offensive court, and the rebound caused Barnes to foul.

Blair made a free throw, and the margin was only 2 points.

The Lone Ranger's counterattack isn't over yet.

Jordan Jr. swung his elbow in the middle of the attack and accidentally hit Nowitzki's eye socket, and Jordan Jr. was whistled for an offensive foul.

Nowitzki was just out of the game, Devin Harris and Blair blocked and cooperated, and after Blair got the ball, he faced Li Liang's defense and used a very strange one-handed golden rooster to throw independently and shoot a two-pointer.

The ball was very ugly, and the ball went into the basket a few times at the beginning, and the two sides played to a draw.

Rivers called a timeout, but instead let the Mavericks tie the score.

What is it called?

It's called a draw before the storm.

Rivers didn't call a timeout again, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense for a while.

So far in the first game of the playoffs, the Clippers don't seem to have the strength to crush the Mavericks.

This makes many fans a little worried, is the Clippers really going to the playoffs far worse than the regular season?

Needless to say, there must have been people on some forums who started posting, "The Lone Ranger has caught up, what a level." ”

What level? The level of ball blindness.

In the early years, there was a one-game theory, which later developed into a half-time theory, then a one-quarter theory, and the last ball theory.

It's normal for the score to go up and down in basketball games, and it's not uncommon for series games to win and lose big, and it's not easy to jump to conclusions until the last minute.

Some people just can't help it, anyway, it's cool first, and then they will automatically hide if they are slapped in the face.

At this time, Li Liang took the ball from Paul and organized the team's attack.

Li Liang took the ball in the high position, and the person who defended him was Marion, and when he saw Li Liang taking the ball, Marion turned sideways slightly and gave up his right side, Li Liang's left side.

Then, Carter approached Li Liang, which set up a pit for Li Liang and arranged a pocket.

If an ordinary team arranges pockets for Li Liang like this, Li Liang's approach must be to transfer the ball, and then the Clippers find a gap through passing to attack.

And teams like the Mavericks and Spurs who have a good rotation position, Li Liang will try to pass some penetrating balls.

It's really not possible to organize it for Paul, or call a block, and see how to deal with it after the blocking.

But this time Li Liang didn't handle the ball as much as before.

He took a small step back with the ball and dribbled, opened up an arm's length from Marion, and then suddenly jumped to shoot a three-point shot at a very fast speed!

A forced three-point shot, one step away from the three-point line, Marion was completely defenseless, and then the ball flew towards the basket, "swish" hollow into the net!

After scoring the goal, Li Liang blew his fingers and felt that his hand felt good.

At this point, he had already given himself an A-level three-point shooting percentage booster.

Then, Harris missed a three-pointer from the outside of the arc on the counter.

Jordan Jr. got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang slowly dribbled the ball past half court, and he was not in a hurry at all, because he didn't want to hit the basket.

What are you doing under the basket, dunking? And it can't be deducted.

Li Liang dribbled to 45 degrees to the left, and Marion stuck to it again.

At this time, Marion was a little hesitant, should he defend himself closely or put a step to defend three points?

In a moment of hesitation, Li Liang pulled up a three-point shot again, and hit again!

Two three-pointers in a row.

Carlisle had a vague smell of something bad and immediately called a short timeout.

Carlisle, you're so picky, why don't you call a long timeout?

The 20-second short timeout was just a substitution, and the main force was put back on the court, and less than a minute passed in the game.

Nowitzki re-entered the game after dealing with a bruise in his eye and immediately scored two points with his trademark step-back golden rooster jumper under Li Liang's defense.

But Li Liang doesn't care, if you vote, if you vote for one, I can also get in.

Li Liang handed the ball to Paul, and then blocked and dismantled with Paul, using the simplest block and dismantling to cut, receiving Paul's pass on the right side, and shooting again with three points!

The ball was fast and steady, and it went straight through the heart, and Carlisle, who threw it, was cold.

Li Liang's shot reminded Carlisle of Stojakovic in the 2011 team.

Three three-pointers in a row!

But it's not the end of it.

The Mavericks changed their defensive strategy after a timeout, and Carlisle let Marion defend Li Liang alone, no longer wrapping up, and defending his three-pointers.

As a result, Li Liang took out his [Gravitational Wooden Fish] in a timely manner.

Under the effect of the gravitational wooden fish, Carlisle found that the players would still inexplicably go to trap Li Liang.

Li Liang used his ground-hitting passes to assist Jordan Jr. for an empty dunk in a row, detonating the atmosphere of Stamps.

Almost 3 minutes later, the Clippers beat the Mavericks 15-2.

Originally, the score difference was still tied, but the result was stretched to 13 points.

Did Li Liang let go of the lone ranger? How can it be.

The most important role of the gravitational wooden fish is not to attract the defense, but to disturb the hearts of the Mavericks players.

Carlisle's good rotation defensive system that has been trained by the Mavericks over the years has shown signs of collapse under Li Liang's assists and three-point bombardment.

It only took Li Liang about five or six minutes for the Mavericks players to begin to doubt their lives.

How to prevent it? Why do you feel a little disobedient in your brain?

At this time, Carlisle should call a timeout, and the pause can break the effect of gravity.

But Carlisle didn't, he suddenly became stubborn, he just wanted the players to adjust themselves.

The Mavericks' offense adjusted, and Nowitzki eased up with back-to-back mid-range shots.

But the Mavericks' defense collapsed, and in the last two minutes of the second quarter.

Rivers wanted to replace Li Liang for the next break, but Li Liang refused.

He easily broke the Lone Ranger's defense, and it was time to harvest!

Li Liang first steals Nowitzki on the defensive end, and then divides the ball to Barnes, who is following up, and Barnes makes a layup.

Then Ellis missed a jumper, Li Liang got a backcourt rebound, and after he finished half the court, he made a stop-and-go jumper outside the three-point line and hit three points again!

The Mavericks' defense has been blinded, and they don't know whether Li Liang will pass the ball or shoot it himself.

Monta-Ellis countered quickly and missed a pull-up jumper.

The Lone Ranger was in a hurry, Carlisle shouted on the sidelines to remind him not to worry, but there was no way, he fell too far behind at once.

And Li Liang looks more anxious than the Mavericks players, he did not slow down the pace and play slowly because the team was ahead, but took the ball in the backcourt and rushed again.

When he rushed to the three-point line, the Mavericks didn't know how he was going to play, and all eyes were on him.

As a result, Li Liang passed the ball to Griffin with a [one-shot soul], and Griffin made an easy layup.

Carlisle is holding his forehead on the sidelines, why did he suddenly play like this? The defense has completely dispersed.

There was no way, and with one minute left in the game, Carlisle used up a long timeout.

At this time, the score of the two sides was already 67:48, and the Clippers had a 19-point lead.

The scary thing is that every one of these 19 points is related to Li Liang, either the three points he shot or the assists he sent.

Not most, it's every point!

Except for that crappy dunk, every choice he made later seemed to be understated, and then poked the Lone Ranger through the heart, crystal bright.

Carlisle's long timeout finally brought the Mavericks players out of their stupor.

They don't know what's wrong, how did the good defense line collapse?

completely cares about one or the other, without the center of gravity of defense, Li Liang is timid as soon as he gets the ball, and he doesn't know whether to prevent passing or shooting.

This is the effect of the gravitational wooden fish after being immersed in the stupor.

Although it only lasted a few minutes, the blow to the Lone Ranger was devastating.

After the timeout, Carlisle arranged a tactic, Marion cut to the basket and made a layup, but was followed by Li Liang's hat to make up for the defense!

This has nothing to do with the gravitational wooden fish, but because Li Liang saw through the lone ranger's tactics.

Then Paul and Li Liang blocked and dismantled, Li Liang held the ball in a high position and pretended to pass the ball to Griffin, but the top of the arc suddenly fired!

Three points again!

70:48！

A difference of 22 points.

The Mavericks' players are a little desperate.

How can this be fought?

Is it over?

It's not over.

Nowitzki gritted his teeth and stepped up, broke through to the basket and caused Griffin's foul, and after hitting both free throws, 70:50, with the last 10 seconds left at the end of the first half.

Li Liang wanted to catch the ball, but he couldn't catch it, and the Lone Ranger caught him in a double bag.

The ball was passed to Paul, who quickly burst into the half, and Li Liang yelled at him, "Give me the ball!" ”

Paul still obediently returned the pass and gave the ball to Li Liang, who was standing outside the three-point line.

Marion is almost sticking to Li Liang's face to defend, and he can't let him shoot three points!

And Li Liang took a tentative step, a weird smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he took a step forward with the ball!

Then a pull-up jump shot from beyond the three-point line!

A super difficult pull-up jump shot, Marion stretched out his arms and rushed to defend, but he still couldn't prevent it.

Hit the ball into the basket!

Three-point hit!

The referee blew the whistle, and the ball also caused a foul on Marion, who had to be penalized.

Marion felt like he was about to collapse, and stood there cross-legged for a long time without saying a word.

When Nowitzki came over and patted Marion on the shoulder to comfort him, Marion shook his head and said, "He was just laughing, he was laughing...... , it's ugly. “
