Chapter 453: Paul's Kill
After Li Liang left Ganjia Restaurant, he went to the airport with Wei Dazhi, took a plane out of San Francisco, and went to Portland overnight.
On the plane, Li Liang remembered his name.
He belongs to the literary generation like Gan Wenmiao, and if he is named according to the genealogy, it is said that his name should be Gan Wenxiang.
When Li Liang heard this name, he was really Gan Li Liang!
Gan Wenxiang?
Willing to smell it?
The ancestor of my old Gan family is really the devil, look at what are the names left for your descendants?
It's the day of Nyima, the dog.
With resentment towards his ancestors, Li Liang, who had been tossing for a day, fell asleep on the plane.
The Christmas war has come to an end, as the most watched Warriors VS Clippers, Li Liang dedicated an extremely exciting duel to the audience and fans.
Li Liang's statistics in this game are not conspicuous, and he played very badly in the early time due to physical problems.
But the last two three-pointers wiped out all the negative comments.
And with the blessing of "The Return of the King", Li Liang's reputation in public opinion has reached a peak.
But Li Liang has not had time to savor the crazy worship of the team and the media after the lore.
He arrived in Portland in the early hours of the morning and immediately went to the hotel to meet the team.
The next morning, Li Liang, who gradually recovered from diarrhea, participated in the team's training.
Before the training, during the Clippers' media opening hours, Li Liang was interviewed by reporters.
The media reporters were still immersed in the last game, and kept asking Li Liang about how he got out of the "predicament" after returning to the locker room, and then returned to the court to hit two super three-pointers.
And when he shot his second three-pointer, why did he dare to shoot it as soon as he passed half court?
Of course, Li Liang didn't dare to say the truth about these two problems, there was no dilemma for him that could not be solved by a bubble of shit, and if there was, he would have another bubble.
As for the second question, it is because he doesn't want to come back to the bath.
Therefore, Li Liang could only vaguely say some specious answers.
And said that he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and he would lose if he said too much!
Wei Dazhi followed Li Liang to Portland, he is Li Liang's closest friend, and many people want to know some inside information through him.
After all, many reporters have written columns, and the return of the king of the Christmas war, and the ultra-long three-point lore is the hottest hot spot at the moment.
As a result, Wei Dazhi said that he didn't know, he really didn't know.
When he was in San Francisco, Wei Dazhi asked Li Liang all the way what was going on.
Li Liang just vaguely confused a few sentences, and refused to say the details.
Wei Dazhi was also very knowledgeable, and he probably guessed a little bit in his heart.
If you see through it or not, you are good friends, and of course Wei Dazhi will keep this secret for Li Liang.
As for how long it will be conservative, it is difficult to say, and it may be necessary to write a memoir when Li Liang retires.
That evening, at Portland's Moda Center, the Clippers challenged the Trail Blazers on the road.
Li Liang still likes Portland's away game very much, because the fans here are very fanatical.
There's only one major league team in the whole of Oregon, Portland, so who is they not backing for?
So when he came to Portland to play, Li Liang gained a lot of anger points.
However, after the game started, Li Liang found that his condition was still not good enough.
After all, it was an away back-to-back, and I didn't sleep well in the morning when I took a plane in the early morning.
The rest of the Clippers players were also in mediocre form, and they began to dig holes in the first quarter.
Both sides played low in the first quarter, with the Clippers trailing by two points at 17:19.
Neither side has scored more than 20.
In the second quarter, it was Griffin who led the second team to play an offensive state and started an offensive battle with the Trail Blazers.
Both teams are offensive teams, with the Clippers on a quick counterattack and the Trail Blazers on the position.
Aldridge played quite well tonight against the defense of Griffin and Li Liang.
He repeatedly used his height and reach to score points on hooks or rollover jumpers.
Li Liang's defensive interior and defensive perimeter are two different styles.
Li Liang's defensive perimeter relies on his reach, height and movement, combined with excellent awareness and technique, as well as the ability to create traps and fouls.
Therefore, if you want to pierce Li Liang's outside defense, you must have a fresh move, especially the shooting must be strong, and the physical condition must not be bad.
When it comes to the inside line, Li Liang's defense is different, first of all, his height and arm span advantages are all gone.
With the expansion of several super power forwards at the beginning of the 21st century, the size of the big forward is no longer what can be played in the early 2 meters.
Some of the strong power forwards are center heights, and Aldridge is one of them.
Without the advantages of height and reach, Li Liang can only do it without suffering losses in terms of strength, and it is impossible to take advantage for the time being.
So he relied on a pester, a recklessness, plus some trash talk, as well as a quick start, good at making fouls, etc.
It's the same way as Dennis Rodman, and sometimes it's quite bluffing, like against Randolph.
And the key moment can improve morale, and the key defense can be won, but the effect of normal offensive and defensive rounds is sometimes not good.
Especially when dealing with technical streams, and tall and long-armed, such as Aldridge.
It's basically hard to cause big problems for Aldridge, and sometimes you need outside help.
As for Griffin, he couldn't count on it, his arm was not as long as Li Liang.
However, Griffin's offensive form was surprisingly good, with a good number of mid-range shots and a three-pointer.
The two sides battled from the second quarter until the fourth quarter, and the tie was tied at 76:76.
In the crucial fourth quarter, Aldridge scored two points on a jumper on Griffin's head.
Aldridge is already tall and has long arms, and his shooting style is still the most difficult straight arm to block, and then he has to lean back!
Hitting like this is bullying you out of reach, and whether you can score or not depends on how Ade feels.
And Ade had a good hand tonight, and the Trail Blazers had a four-day break before.
Comfortably spent Christmas Eve and Christmas in Portland, and waited for the Clippers to work for two consecutive visitors, can they be in a bad state?
Rivers held back and let Griffin play on the court with a substitute for a while.
Immediately after the dead ball, Paul and Li Liang were replaced on the field.
After Paul and Li Liang came on the court, they immediately led the Clippers to launch a wave of attacks.
First, Paul hit a three-pointer, and then Li Liang made a steal and assisted Hollins for a layup.
Then the Trail Blazers missed the attack, and Li Liang received a pass from Paul on the counterattack and hit a three-pointer.
The Clippers went on a 12-0 offensive surge over the course of three minutes to shut down the Trail Blazers.
Li Liang felt that this might be stable, but he didn't expect the pioneers who were fighting at home to be extremely tenacious.
They kept struggling to catch up with the score, and with 1 minute left in the game, they relied on a three-pointer from Lillard to tie the score!
The two sides played to a 100:100 draw!
It is a good number that saves OCD.
But whoever wins next has to break that number.
The spotlight is about to hit Li Liang again.
I just finished a Jedi counterattack in a minute last night, can I do it again tonight?
The Clippers called a timeout, and Rivers hadn't laid out his tactics yet, so he looked at Li Liang first.
Is this kid going to say "give me the ball and I'll do it"?
As a result, Li Liang didn't speak, and he also looked at Rivers.
After a while, Li Liang said: "Lao Li, you are arranging tactics!" What a daze! Are you a coach or am I a coach? ”
Rivers scratched his head and hurriedly laid out a tactic.
As a result, when the timeout ended, the Clippers' service tactics did not escape.
Finally, the ball was sent to Paul, and with one operation, the ball was passed to Griffin on the inside.
Griffin turned around with a small hook and missed the shot because it was too far from the basket.
The Clippers quickly stepped back and deployed before the Trail Blazers could hit a counterattack.
The Trailblazers chose to let Ade eat in a low position, and Li Liang defended Ade with his back.
In the top defense state, you can't activate [Death Coil] - the skill can't be used if you want to.
But this ball Li Liang stuck Ade's back to squeeze in, forcing Ade to go to the bottom line.
Ade's strength is to turn around and walk in the middle, and he is not very good at the technique of walking the bottom line.
As a result, the layup was blocked by Jordan Jr. who came to make up for it.
The initiative is back in the hands of the Clippers.
At this time, everyone's eyes of the pioneers were focused on Li Liang.
There is no way, Li Liang's performance at the critical moment during this period is too eye-catching.
The designated place will kill the Nets, and the king will return to the ultra-long three-point quasi-kill Warriors, if there is another one, the NBA will really explode.
But Li Liang didn't go up at this time.
It's easy down there, and it's easy on top.
He wanted to win, so after getting the ball, Li Liang silently equipped his gravitational wooden fish.
The gravitational wooden fish does not work very well at critical moments.
Because it's about the concentration of the players.
The players are very focused at key moments and are not easily affected by props.
But the problem is that the concentration of the Trail Blazers players is really good now, but they are all focused on Li Liang.
Now the effect of gravity wooden fish is greater.
When Li Liang started with the ball, three people rushed in the direction of Li Liang in an instant.
When he walked inside under the cover of Griffin, it was good, attracting four people.
You're a mystery, or a rabbit, and you've pulled four at once.
As a result, Robin Lopez was the only one on the inside, and Griffin sought stability after receiving the ball, and he didn't rush and gave the ball to Paul on the wing.
Paul received the ball before there was no one left, and he made a solid mid-range jumper.
Hit!
This ball made the fans at the Trail Blazers scene confused.
Defensive tactics at critical moments can make the opponent shoot empty, and it is Paul.
Look down on Paul?
Although Paul hit the key shot, the few Clippers fans at the scene, as well as the Clippers teammates, didn't seem to be very excited.
Even Paul himself didn't feel excited, just high-fived his teammates easily.
Maybe this quasi-lore won't be enough to thrill Clippers players and fans.
Li Liang has completely raised the threshold of excitement for them.
There are still 7 seconds left for the Trail Blazers to have a chance to strike the final blow.
Paul himself thought it was incredible, how could the Trail Blazers' defense be pulled apart like this?
Can't you look down on me so much?
After the pause is over, Li Liang's [Death Coil] skill can be activated this time.
The Trail Blazers used Lillard Ade's two-German pick-and-roll.
As a result, Li Liang immediately switched to Lillard and directly activated the skill [Death Winding]!
Lillard only felt that the hairs on his entire head seemed to stand on end.
The pupils dilated for 0.1 seconds, and then the ball in his hand was forcibly cut off by Li Liang's front!
After the ball was successfully broken, Li Liang rushed straight to the basket, and in the process of Lillard turning to chase back, he used too much force, slipped under his feet, and fell into a.
Then I watched Li Liang make an easy layup to help the Clippers seal the win.
At 104:100, the Clippers walked away with a win in Portland.
Li Liang scored 25 points in this game, while Paul and Griffin contributed 32 and 33 points, respectively.
Three of them scored a staggering 90 points, and the others scored a total of 14 points.
During this time, the Clippers' bench problem began to become more and more prominent.
However, the strength of the main force still covered up some problems, and they continued to win.
