?? When Griffin came off, Li Liang naturally went to the No. 4 position, while Barnes returned to the more familiar No. 3 position.

Crawford and Paul have two backcourts, one short and the other thin, and the defense is definitely not good.

At this time, if the Clippers have Lakers fans on the scene, they will definitely find that the lineup on the Clippers at this time is not the Lakers last season?

A defensive big center on the inside, Bruce Lee at the No. 4 position, and a small forward at the No. 3 position who is not as good as before, and the backcourt is dead......

It is a slander to say that Paul is a loophole, but the backcourt formed by him and Crawford is indeed prone to loopholes.

But for Li Liang, such a situation is very familiar, isn't it equivalent to Nash matching Kobe?

Li Liang felt that he had suddenly returned to the familiar Lakers defensive system.

The main focus is on checking and filling the gaps for the two players on the outside, and the inside line appropriately helps to get stuck and grab rebounds in the backcourt.

Jordan Jr.'s defense has improved quite significantly this season, and his basket protection, interceptions, and backcourt rebounding protection have reached an elite level.

What he's lacking at the moment is mostly experience, and his abilities will steadily improve as Rivers reuses Jordan Jr. even more.

After this set was taken out, the pace of the game of the Clippers tended to be stable, and the intensity of the defensive end did not improve, but the formation was obviously more stable.

At this point before, Griffin moved slowly on the defensive end, which caused Ibaka to catch the ball and dunk directly under the basket three times in a row after returning from a timeout.

Now that Li Liang and Ibaka are opposed, Li Liang is not afraid of Ibaka.

In terms of strength, Li Liang is not as good as Ibaka, but Ibaka's offensive style of play is destined to be useless to him.

In terms of agility and traversing speed, Li Liang surpassed Ibaka.

For Ibaka, who eats bread, there is always someone in front of him, and he can't attack well.

At the same time, Li Liang can also spare his energy to deal with Westbrook.

As for Durant, it's up to Barnes, anyway, Li Liangfang is still Barnes, and the difference is not particularly big.

As long as it is not Westbrook defense, Durant's ability to score or not depends mainly on his feel.

The two sides fought all the way from 19:11 to 29:20, and the Clippers kept the Thunder suppressed.

On the offensive end, Li Liang began to replace Griffin and Paul to play blocking and dismantling, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Li Liang's three-point threat was too great, and as soon as he cut outside, the Thunder would inevitably follow, and the result was that Paul easily wiped into the basket several times.

Once Paul is in the three-second zone, he is the shortest man in the game, and there is always a way to get the ball into the basket.

Pull-up jump shots, ground-hitting passes, and fake fax shots overwhelmed Adams.

Adams had suffered a loss at the beginning, and the defense Griffin slowly found some tricks.

As a result, Griffin went down and became Li Liang, a thief and a thief, haunted the inside.

Thinking of the moment when his crotch was smashed in the opening scene, Adams still had palpitations.

Li Liang is on the inside, and he will not fight hard with anyone, although he is not afraid of anyone when it comes to hard encounters, and he just fought with Cowens for more than two hours last night.

He is very good at seizing opportunities on the offensive end, has a wide range of running, and is accurate on three-point shots.

If Adams accidentally switches to Li Liang, it will really be dead, I don't know if he will pass, throw, burst or smash his crotch.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, the Clippers had rewritten the score to 31:22 and still led by nine points.

At this time, the Clippers were whistled for a defensive foul, and Rivers made another substitution, with Griffin replacing Li Liang and Butler replacing Barnes.

Paul was on the court for a while and played until the end of the first quarter.

The battle was tied at 35-27, and the Clippers led by eight points.

In fact, the Thunder had two chances to turn the tables in the first quarter.

One was when the Clippers missed three consecutive shots on offense, and the Thunder got a chance to quickly counterattack.

As a result, he only grasped it once, and did not play an offensive climax.

One time was at the end of the first quarter, after Westbrooks hit a break layup, he took advantage of the Clippers' imprudent backcourt serve, made a steal, and then held the ball to the three-point line and hit it, scoring five points in a row.

But well-rested Griffin forced Adams to win in the low post, and then Paul managed to steal Westbrook and press time for the final attack.

Crawford hit a mid-range jumper from outside to cap the first quarter.

Fans just feel that the Clippers played differently in the first quarter than usual, with different rotations and starters, but they can't say what is different.

And Van Gundy Jr. saw the clue.

"After the Clippers changed the rotation, they let Griffin lead the second lineup, using Bruce Lee at the No. 4 position in the middle of the most intense and intense stretch to direct the team's defense. Barnes' task is not to defend the No. 2 position, but to assist the interior appropriately, and his height and reach can interfere with opponents. And Bruce Lee did a good job of containing Ibaka, and he had two of his inevitable goals that were destroyed by Bruce. Bruce was also very good at teaming up with Paul and Crawford to put pressure on the ball carrier, and Westbrooks had three turnovers in the first quarter, both of which were related to Bruce Lee......

Van Gundy Jr. analyzed that he believed that the Clippers had indeed made a good move.

Mike Brown transferred the Lakers' experience with Li Liang to the Clippers, tweaking and refining it.

Van Gundy only analyzed the defensive end, in fact, Mike Brown's adjustment will be more reflected on the offensive end.

It's just that in the current quarter of the game, a lot of things can't be revealed.

At the start of the second quarter, Collison hit a throw-up, but Crawford immediately hit a three-pointer from the outside to return the favor.

The second line-ups of both sides began to see-saw on the field.

At this time, Griffin played with the second team on the court, and with Griffin there, the second team at least had the backbone of the attack, and it was no longer a one-man show for Crawford.

In terms of strength, the Thunder's second lineup is not as good as the Clippers.

Tabit, Reggie Jackson, Lamb, Collison plus a Perry Jones.

The Clippers have Crawford and Griffin leading, center Upper Hollins, point guard Darren Collison and small forward Butler.

This lineup can't defend well, but what the second team wants to defend, it's good to be able to play offense.

Griffin's fight against Collison is still relatively sure.

The Thunder couldn't catch up if they wanted to chase the score, but the score difference was being pulled apart.

Brusk is in a hurry, the Clippers cheating, let the starters take the fight?

Brooks also wants to, but Durant and the others must be allowed to rest, and at this time, Bruce misses Harden more and more.

If there is a beard, why is it so overstretched in terms of employing people?

In comparison, the Clippers, who were a little unsightly in the original second lineup, seemed to have become rich all of a sudden after adjusting the rotation.

You know, they still have a Bledsoe on their injury list, and this striker is better than Darren Collisson.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers stabilized the situation on the court, and Griffin squandered the energy he had gained from the first quarter break in the second quarter.

He was firmly in control of the rebounding ball and kept attacking Thabit on the inside, the year's top pick.

As the saying goes, there must be water in the eyes of the champion, and Griffin, the champion, is going to be beaten, can't you count on Thabit water?

However, the Clippers were not able to further widen the difference, and the Thunder quickly stabilized their position, and Reggie Jackson seriously organized the team's offense.

Although the Thunder's bench players are not strong, they play quite methodically on the court.

As in the first quarter, they played well in the open cut, went to the backdoor, and kept hitting the Clippers behind the basket.

Griffin and Hollins' weakness of being too slow to make up for the defense is undoubtedly revealed, and the Thunder, in addition to Perkins, who keeps playing, uniformly requires "fast, tall, and long arm span" in the selection of materials for the front line and interior line. ”

Regardless of the technique, you can't go wrong with being physically fit to play.

The two sides played all the way to 47:40, and the Thunder only trailed the Clippers by seven points.

There were no sparks on either side, or rather, sparks were brewing.

The game entered an official timeout, and the main players of both sides are about to return to the game.

Li Liang sat on the bench, and Mike Brown on the side was wearing a suit and was chattering endlessly to Li Liang.

"Expand your horizons, in the middle, in the middle of the lane, the bottom corner is not your home, you have to be more in the middle ......"

Mike Brown kept emphasizing the middle, because when he was with the Lakers, Li Liang would be ambushed on both wings most of the time, except for the occasional attack at the top of the arc.

When it came to the Clippers, Brown thought that Li Liang should make more fuss in the middle, and he played well with Paul's blocking and dismantling in the first quarter.

Li Liang was annoyed to hear this, and said, "Are you the head coach or Doug?" Or do you want the manager to do it for you? ”

Brown didn't say anything more, just nodded, "OK, OK, you can play better." ”

When Brown said this, Li Liang remembered what Ramsey said in the mission, and Brown probably wants to be the greatest player, right?

At least it's greater than James.
