The Knicks, who had an unfavorable year, were really unlucky when they met the Clippers, who were in the limelight.

In fact, Li Liang had a hard time playing the Knicks a few times before, because he had to face Anthony on the defensive end.

So far in the league, Li Liang's most difficult defender in the forward position is Anthony.

Anthony's technical style is quite noticeable against Li Liang's defensive restraint.

Li Liang would rather defend James than Anthony, and the second is Durant.

Of course, one-on-one defense against Anthony is more difficult, and playing the Knicks is not so difficult.

Tyson Chandler has made a comeback, but his overall level has dropped dramatically.

At the forward position, Bargnani is somewhat outside of the Knicks' system.

The defense is average, the offense is very similar to Anthony in terms of style, a team has two strikers who mainly focus on mid-to-long range shooting and can't organize assists, how does the overall offense work?

As a result, the Knicks often fall into a solo game in the game.

Anthony, Baniani, Smith and others all have the ability to get the ball into the basket on their own.

However, if you don't defend well and your offense doesn't take shape, when you get to the game, you will suddenly lose fire in attack, or you will be attacked by the opponent in a row.

If the two situations are combined, this game will be stopped and lost.

Poor Knicks rebuilding for many years, gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, recruited Xiao Si, and got Anthony in a big trade.

As a result, he only relied on the veteran to rise for one year, followed by the second year, and became a rotten Ni in the past.

Li Liang was full of thoughts about getting a high score in Madison Garden Plaza tonight to give the New York media a disadvantage.

The last time Li Liang came to Brooklyn, New York, to play against the Nets, because of some pre-game remarks and the poisonous media in New York, he raised the bar.

This time Li Liang came to New York to play against the main Knicks, how could the media in New York let him go?

For pen players, no matter how good and great a player is, as long as you want to black, you can always find black spots.

Moreover, the better the player, the easier it is to be nitpicked, because he is in the spotlight.

Kobe Bryant's Bao Qingtian will not be talked about, and he has been complained by the media all year round.

Even if it is a player like James who performs steadily and rarely drops the chain, the New York media will not be polite.

Unless the Knicks need to be recruited, these poisonous tongues will be smeared with sweet words and make a show of praise.

Once the recruitment fails, the media will remove the mask and ridicule without hesitation.

For example, after James decided to go to Miami in the summer of 2010, the cover of the New York Post was a chicken with James' face on it......

The title is big LeChi, which means that LeBron James is a cowardly villain, and "chicken" means cowardly and timid in English.

This time, Li Liang led the Clippers to New York, and the media were of course not polite.

The headline of the New York Post in the sports section directly published a cartoon of Li Liangfu's Manchurian image.

Behind Li Liang are also the Clippers players who have been sinicized.

For example, Griffin in Chinese armor, Crawford in a melon-skin hat, and Little Jordan on stilts.

And, of course, poor Paul, in a wheelchair......

As soon as the cover of this set of comics came out, the New York Post's sales skyrocketed.

Americans like to think of the Chinese as terrible and evil enemies, as if they had existed for thousands of years in a dark and rancid place, possessing mysterious powers.

Li Liang was also amused by the rich imagination of New Yorkers when he saw this newspaper.

I think these people are right, Lao Tzu does have mysterious powers, so let you see it when the time comes.

It's that Paul is really too pitiful and in a wheelchair...... Li Liang took a photo of the newspaper headline and sent it to Paul, and then told Paul that he wanted to get justice for him!

The game started on time, and the Clippers started as always, with Collison replacing Paul as the starting point guard.

Collison has been pretty good in Paul's absence and is a very reliable backcourt player.

Li Liang felt quite comfortable cooperating with him, because he was obedient.

The Knicks' starters were Anthony, Chandler, Felton, Shambaught and Bargnani.

In the opening game, the Knicks took the lead in getting offensive opportunities, and Bargnani received a pass from Filton in the high post and tried to shoot and hit a two-point shot.

The Knicks scored first.

In the first quarter, both sides played more relaxed, Chandler made a layup, and Anthony hit a jumper to beat the Clippers 6-0.

The Clippers have been a little slow to start their games lately, like a truck, and the start is always a little slow.

This is also related to Li Liang's organizational style, he is not as fine as Paul, and some offensive options in the opening game are relatively sloppy.

If a teammate or his own offensive feeling is not open, it is inevitable that he will miss in a row.

But once Li Liang and his teammates gradually find their senses, the Clippers' offense will want to start the chariot, and it will not be so easy to make him stop.

This is also the reason why many senior commentators believe that Li Liang is better than Paul in leading players.

Paul is too meticulous to keep his teammates "out of his hands and open his mouth", and he himself lacks sufficient problem-solving skills.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers overtook the Clippers.

Li Liang hit a three-pointer on the counterattack, then won a backcourt rebound on the defensive end, pushed a fast break into the basket, and hit a pull-up jump shot.

The Knicks' back-to-back defense is really hard to tell.

Li Liang's ability to push and counterattack can easily start at speed, and finally enter the three-second zone to hit a jumper.

With that goal, the Clippers completed the comeback and the game went into an official timeout.

Subsequently, the Clippers gradually found their offensive touch, but the Knicks' offense was not bad either.

Bargnani, Anthony and J.R. Smith, who came off the bench, all hit three-pointers from the outside.

Li Liang scolded his teammates for leaking defense, and at the same time assisted Griffin to make baskets in a row, including a 2+1.

Griffin played quite well during Paul's absence, and his cooperation with Li Liang became more and more tacit.

Sometimes I think about it, why not trade Paul for a quality 3D player?

After that, Griffin went to rest, and Li Liang took Crawford and others to start playing iron, and the score was overtaken by the Knicks.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers trailed the Knicks by two points at 25-27.

Li Liang scored five points in the first quarter and dished out four assists.

If he played like this in the first quarter, he would definitely not be able to do Paul justice.

However, he is not in a hurry, the first half is not time, Li Liang still prefers to teach the opponent a lesson in the second half.

A pitcher must learn to control his feel and condition.

A race is a marathon run, and if you rush too hard at the beginning, you will lose your strength halfway.

If you rush too late, it may be too late.

When Li Liang played for the Lakers, he often lunged at the beginning, for no other reason, because he was not a core player at that time.

He doesn't need to worry too much, he should score more points in the early stages, when the defense is the weakest.

After arriving at the Clippers, after half a season of tempering, Li Liang played more and more like a core player.

He's starting to learn to control the tempo, learn to get himself into the groove, learn to mobilize his teammates, and then stay there until the moment counts.

At the start of the second quarter, Griffin led the second team to play against the Knicks.

The speed of the two sides has been fighting, but the scene is really not good-looking, the hit rate is not high, and there are frequent fouls and mistakes.

The Knicks, for their part, clearly want to increase their defensive intensity to disrupt the Clippers' speed and put the brakes on the big truck.

And the Clippers' second lineup revolves around Griffin, moving forward step by step to turn the situation around.

It's a pity that the Clippers didn't have the high shooting percentage in the last game against the Mavericks, and Butler and Crawford missed consecutive three-point shots.

Rivers looked at the iron-clad ringing with sorrow on his face.

In fact, the Clippers are only two or three points behind the Knicks.

The Clippers are also very interesting.

As the head coach, Rivers always has a sad face on the sidelines, rarely laughs, and occasionally makes some inexplicable expressions, which makes people scratch their heads.

As the head offensive coach, Gentry seems to be forever dissatisfied with the team's offense, although the Clippers' offense is already the first in the league, averaging more than 110 points per game, so he is always full of anger and yelling at the players.

Tyronn Lue gives the impression of being perpetually confused, with a half-open mouth and a mournful look, like a dying fish.

Only Mike Brown, who is the happiest one, is always happy on the sidelines. He wasn't so happy with the Lakers before, but he was very serious on the court.

After arriving at the Clippers, because there is no pressure not to be the head coach, his series of tactical arrangements are very smooth, and some of the arrangements made around Li Liang are very successful, what reason does he have to be unhappy?

After all, people who love to laugh are not too unlucky.

Therefore, on the bench of the Clippers are the four elders of "joy, anger and sorrow", which has become a landscape of the Clippers.

"Mike, don't you laugh, we're lagging behind, what's so funny?"

Li Liang sat on the bench to rest, and while watching the game, he found that Mike Brown was inexplicably laughing again.

How can you just laugh here casually? Playing so seriously, you still lag behind, you laugh?

During the timeout, Li Liang always sits next to Mike Brown, and he likes to communicate with Brown during the game.

Mike Brown immediately put away his smile and said, "I'm sorry, I thought of that newspaper out of the blue, I think the comics are good, but Chris is a little ...... Somewhat pathetic......"

It turned out that Mike Brown had in mind the cover caricature of the New York Post.

Paul is indeed quite pitiful, and the others are majestic, and they are evil at all.

Only Paul is in a wheelchair, as if he is ruthless in the four gods.

Thinking of this, Li Liang couldn't help laughing.

But he immediately put away his smile and thought to himself, is it still a person to laugh at his teammates like this?

At this time, there was a dead ball on the field, and the two sides entered the lineup rotation.

Li Liang took off his sportswear and reappeared.
