At present, Li Liang has two morale runes, and he doesn't know what they are for.

He was going to wait until he had collected five of them, and then put them on the rune system and give them a try.

By the end of the first half, the Clippers didn't need any morale bonus, and the morale was really good.

With more than 80 points in the half, the offense was passionate.

Generally speaking, to describe a good offense, a famous idiom master always likes to use "mercury pouring ground" and "flowing water".

However, the Clippers' rapid offense in the first half was not particularly accurate to describe in these two words.

Under Li Liang's slightly "rough" organization, the Clippers' counterattack is more appropriately described as "windswept clouds".

Li Liang made full use of his advantage in opening up space, and his teammates also let go to play in this game.

Crawford, Odom, Barnes, Griffin and others all played beautiful individual offense.

At halftime in the Clippers' locker room, the atmosphere that was a little sluggish because of the losing streak was swept away.

Although there is still a full second half of the game, and it is at the home of the Thunder, the opponent is very difficult to deal with.

But the Clippers players are very confident, and that confidence is something that a strong team, a championship team must have.

In the past, the Clippers have always been lacking in this area, giving people the feeling of "a breath of air".

This so-called breath is faith.

Can you have the confidence to hold the advantage when you are ahead?

When you fall behind, do you have the confidence to slowly catch up?

In competitive sports, mentality is very important, not only affecting individual performance, but also affecting the team atmosphere and affecting the performance of others.

Li Liang's existence is the foundation of everyone's confidence.

Even though he's a sophomore rookie, he can be mentally insulting to his teammates...... No, it's support, which has surpassed many battle-hardened veterans.

It's subtle and hard for teammates to notice.

In fact, even Li Liang himself didn't realize that after completing the tasks of "Lame Captain" and "Rowing on the Snow Mountain" in the second volume of [City of Angel Book], his prestige in the Clippers and in the whole of Los Angeles became higher and higher.

He doesn't even turn on the hair dryer much anymore to curse because he doesn't need to.

The system tasks, the tasks in the City of Angels book, in addition to enhancing Li Liang's ability and allowing him to gain skills, also have a hidden function, which is to let him inexplicably gain more and more popularity and prestige.

Li Liang is inexplicably popular in Boston because he has done too many Celtic-related tasks.

It's the same with the Clippers.

Li Liang also gave a small speech in the locker room to boost the morale of the team.

You're motivating, you're more than a dozen points ahead, not a dozen points behind.

No matter how much you inspire, will you give Thunder a way to live?

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Thunder launched a crazy counterattack as soon as they came up.

In the first attack of the opening game, Westbrook and Ibaka blocked and passed the ball to Ibaka.

Ibaka hit a 45-degree mid-range jumper from the right.

It was Ibaka's first mid-range jumper of the game.

This is a good thing for the Thunder, if you want to chase points, you can't put the offensive burden on your shoulders, and others have to step up.

Subsequently, Li Liang made a lateral pass mistake in organizing the attack, and Westbrook intercepted the pass and took the lead in the half.

Once Westbrook makes a steal, he rushes forward with a speed that no one can keep up with.

So in front of him is a flat horse, there is no one to defend, you can go to the empty basket.

As a result, Westbrook hit the three-second zone, and he saw that he could jump up and dunk directly, but he didn't dunk.

Instead, he sent the ball back to Durant, who was following behind, and Durant easily dunked.

Westbrook provided an assist.

Li Liang, who was following behind, was speechless, you have to brush up on an assist?

Of course, Westbrook wasn't alone in doing this, and Paul did it a lot.

The fast attack with no one in front of you has to make a board and relay the air to the Griffin behind.

Li Liang has no interest in this kind of meaningless data anyway, so it's good for me to practice dunking.

Durant was still smiling happily.

Rivers immediately called a timeout, and he sensed that the momentum was not very good.

Li Liang felt that Rivers was making a big fuss, the Thunder only scored two goals, and the Clippers were still ahead by more than ten points, so he hurriedly called a short timeout, and he was too distrustful of the state of the Clippers players.

No way, the players are always confident, the coaches are always cautious.

Rivers asked his players to play a little more cautiously and press down a little bit during the timeout.

Rivers thought, although he was leading a lot, it was only the third quarter after all.

The Thunder's lineup is there, and it's very fast to catch up with the points.

Li Liang didn't agree with Rivers' idea, he felt that to fight with the Thunder, he must attack wildly.

What pressure rhythm is not what the Clippers are good at at all.

It's like some football teams, when they are 2-0 ahead, they replace the striker with a defender to defend, and they are pressed and beaten.

was not known for defense, gave the opponent too many opportunities to bombard the goal, and finally lost the win.

Instead of conservative pressure rhythm defense, it is better to attack to the end and pour two more into it, wouldn't it be worry-free?

Besides, people's football is a knockout game, and if you lose, you go home, and basketball is the regular season, and if you lose, you are still the first in the West, what are you afraid of?

will be subject to the king's order outside.

Li Liang didn't say anything when he paused, and after the timeout, he didn't say a word in the offense, and he took the ball two steps away from the three-point line, and he was about to shoot!

Rivers wanted to cover his face on the sidelines, why didn't he listen to this damn thing?

As a result, at the moment when Li Liang made a shooting gesture and attracted everyone's attention, he suddenly switched to a pass, and gave a straight plug of both hands to Griffin, who cut into the basket.

Griffin cut into the three-second zone with the help of Jordan Jr.'s cover, and Li Liang's ball pass was just right.

Griffin catches the ball, pushes away assistant defender Adams, and makes a layup with his right hand.

Because of the confrontation between the two sides, the ball bounced on the basket several times and finally fell into the net.

Seeing this, Rivers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Liang was going to throw it away by himself again.

Although he threw it quite accurately, he kept throwing it like this, and he was afraid that he couldn't hold it down when the rhythm got up.

It's impossible to score without the ball, and long rebounds tend to give the Thunder a chance to counterattack quickly.

After that, Adams drew a foul and made one of two free throws.

But on the Clippers' side, Barnes found an open space on the right side with the help of cover, Li Liang gave the ball to Barnes, and Barnes received the ball and hit a three-point shot!

The whole energy center is a little silent, how can this be fought?

Barnes was able to hit three-pointers with ease.

The Thunder's defensive attention was focused on Li Liang, so Barnes' point was completely empty.

But Barnes clearly found his groove tonight, shooting 1-of-2 in the first half and another at the start of the third quarter.

With two three-pointers, Barnes was already over the task.

Basketball allows Barnes to forget about the pain of family relationship problems for a while.

And, Barnes' performance is far from over.

First on the defensive end, he tried to block Westbrook's shot, only to be whistled for a foul.

Westbrook made both free throws.

Back on the offensive end, Li Liang passed the ball to Barnes again.

With the help of Jordan Jr.'s cover, Barnes made another three-point shot at 45 degrees on the right side, and scored again!

Barnes hit two three-pointers in a row and let out a foul that had just been whistled.

Because he felt he was a good flanker block, he ended up being blown out of the thug.

Now it's three points back.

Westbrook then cut in down the middle and picked up a pass from Sefrosa and scored a left-handed layup.

Once Westbrook's speed is up and running, it's really unstoppable.

Paul couldn't keep up with Westbrook.

But it didn't matter, then Paul juggled the ball in the middle, and after entering the three-second zone, he distributed the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner.

This time the Thunder didn't dare to defend against Barnes anymore, and Sephorosa pounced.

Barnes immediately distributed the ball to Li Liang, who was 45 degrees, and Sefrosa went to save Li Liang.

How could this man move sideways with the speed of the pass.

Li Liang immediately passed it back to Barnes.

This is Sephorosa.

He didn't have time to make up for it, and Barnes hit his third three-pointer of the third quarter with a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

Barnes was a god in the third quarter, and he was simply possessed by Li Liang, making three three-point shots.

The head coach of the Thunder would never have thought that the person who hit consecutive three-pointers was not Li Liang but Barnes.

You have no problem with this, the score difference has been stretched to 20 points.

The Thunder are also championship contenders anyway, and as a result, they were beaten by the Clippers at home with more than 80 points at half and trailed by 20 points in the third quarter.

I don't know if it's because the Thunder are really in bad shape tonight, or if the Clippers are too strong?

The Clippers are indeed strong, crushing in previous games, but none of them have been as devastating as the Thunder.

And the Clippers are full of outbursts, and everyone plays well.

It feels like the potential of this team has been discovered, they are really playing basketball, and everyone on the court is integrated into the team's offense.

Although Li Liang is the core, he is not an absolute ball controller.

So far, Li Liang is not a very good attacker with the ball.

But his ability to pull the air on the offensive end and the creativity of his passing (X** pass) are profoundly impacting the Clippers.

The Thunder had to call a timeout.

And on the Clippers' bench, the most excited person is not Rivers, but Mike Brown.

Although Li Liang didn't score a goal in just a few minutes, Brown can experience from Li Liang what ordinary stars don't have.

A leader, a person who stands on the field and does nothing to influence his teammates to become better.

That's what LeBron James had before, but Brown thinks Li Liang could be better.

Of course?? Correspondingly, there are some people who can influence their teammates to become worse by doing nothing - for example, they can smash their teammates with a serve, and they don't know how to play.

If Li Liang knew what Brown was thinking, he would definitely tell him, "I'm sorry, I have a system." ”

Li Liang's own understanding of this point is not deep enough.

Because he felt that his basketball skills were far from superb.

But basketball is more than just a skill.
