Chapter 382: The Problem of Substitution

Mike Brown is also having an uneasy time.

lost Li Liang and Kobe Bryant's thighs one after another, and the Lakers' offense and defense collapsed in half at once.

Nick Young is too far behind Li Liang defensively, Howard hasn't fully recovered, Nash is a year older, and Ci Shiping continues to be inaccurate.

It's a game that can't be played.

In the preseason, the Lakers stumbled, losing all the way, and finally won two games.

Because the Lakers are the defending champions, even if they meet in the preseason, other teams will do their best.

The Lakers, who are missing two generals, can beat up, and they are beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

Of course, the outside world is still looking forward to the Lakers, after all, the preseason.

Only Mike Brown, as the team's head coach, clearly knows that the Lakers are now at the end of their power, in tatters.

The salary space is completely blocked, and there is no opportunity for reinforcement.

Mike Brown was on the bench just to sigh, missing Li Liang so much, missing his passion when he was on the team.

If Li Liang was there and was beaten 8:0 in the opening game, he would definitely be scolded wildly on the bench.

As soon as he scolded, the whole team was in good spirits.

Without him scolding, I always feel unmotivated.

During the 20-second timeout, Mike Brown made a slight set-up and tweaked to shift the offensive focus away from Howard.

After the timeout, the Lakers played a tactic.

Free throws from the sideline, Nick Young takes a pass from Sh with the help of a screen, and hits a mid-range jumper on the bottom right.

The Lakers finally scored.

The Clippers' offensive strategy has also been fine-tuned.

Paul was scolded by Li Liang, and he decided to lead the attack himself.

Paul controlled the ball in the high post and Griffin and Jordan Jr. came up to do double cover.

Paul cut in from the center with the ball, wasn't too fast, didn't break the Lakers' defense, and instead passed the ball to Griffin, who cut outside.

Ci Shiping stared at Griffin, this blocking and dismantling cooperation was not played well.

But Griffin faced Ci Shiping's defense and hit a difficult pull-up jumper to hit two points.

Griffin opened with a pretty good hand.

This is also the arrangement that Rivers began in the first quarter.

Griffin is now the team's third point of attack, so he opened up when the defense was at its weakest.

Li Liang and Paul can play and pass the ball with relative ease.

Later, when it was time to need, Li Liang and Paul were full of firepower.

Rivers' little abacus is also a thief.

Subsequently, Ci Shiping violated the rules on the offensive end.

The Clippers had another offensive opportunity, Paul hit the basket on the left side and slipped the ball to Li Liang, who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

Li Liang catches the ball and shoots three-pointers!

First three-pointer of the season!

It's a pity that it didn't hit, Li Liang thought to himself, what kind of ball did Paul pass, the rhythm was not good at all.

Li Liang: He blames Paul for not being able to vote himself.

The Lakers got the backcourt rebound, and Nash took the ball himself and rushed to the basket, but was blocked by Jordan Jr. who returned to the defense.

It's really hard for the Lakers to score right now.

In the counterattack, Paul made a ground-hitting pass to Jordan Jr., and Jordan Jr. dunked it with one hand!

At 10:2, the Clippers continued to hold the lead.

The Lakers had a vague feeling that they were about to collapse at the beginning.

Sure enough, on the next offense, Nick Young missed a three-point shot with the ball himself.

Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Paul, and the Clippers had another chance to counterattack.

Li Liang rushed to the right side 45 degrees, the man arrived, and Paul's pass arrived.

This time, Li Liang first made a feint to fly Nick Yang who was chasing after him, and then made a three-point shot in the empty position.

Absolute vacancy, no defense, three-point hit!

After scoring the goal, Li Liang himself breathed a sigh of relief, opened, and the new season opened.

The first goal is very important and the sooner you come, the more meaningful it is to build confidence in a goalscorer.

After a summer, many players will experience fluctuations in shooting percentages on the court.

Some will be more accurate in their threes, while others will see a big drop.

In addition to training, it is also related to the player's own physical state and psychological state.

Some players work too hard in the summer, or the team environment changes, or the opponent's defensive strategy changes, which can cause the long-range shooting percentage to fluctuate.

Li Liang's high three-point shooting rate last season was scary, and he even threw a miraculous three-point shot in the finals.

In the new season, the opponent will definitely carry out targeted and strict defense.

At the same time, Li Liang has increased his passing and ball control training, and his three-point training and maintenance are definitely not as good as last season.

He had a hunch that his three-point shooting percentage would drop slightly, and he set himself a goal of no more than 3 percentage points.

Maintain a three-point shooting percentage above 46%.

Others are estimated to be scared to death when they hear this goal, with a 46% hit rate? That's a two-point shooting percentage for some.

And Li Liang will never have so many open shots this season, he will face a lot of close defense, and at the same time, the number of three-point shots and shots must be maintained a certain amount.

46%, which is quite impressive.

It's just that his 49% close to 50% three-pointers last season was really terrible.

This three-point shot was made, and Kobe Bryant couldn't do it off the court.

Began to stand up and shout "Stick to him, stick to him, don't let go!" “

This ball is also Nick Young, stupidly jumping up and wanting to interfere, and if he is replaced by a more experienced player, he will definitely never jump and go up to defend.

At 13:2, Nash saw that the team couldn't attack, so he had to come by himself.

After he broke through the middle, he shot an arrow on horseback and hit a jumper from close range.

Nash needed to score so early, and the Lakers' offense was really out of line.

Then Griffin made a block with Li Liang in the high post, and after Li Liang attracted the defense of the two, he distributed the ball to Griffin.

Griffin took a step inside the three-point line and hit a mid-range jumper to hit two points!

Desperate, it turns out that Li Liang can cooperate with Griffin to block and dismantle!

Li Liang and Griffin block and dismantle, both of them are tall and big, and it is very difficult for you to block.

And the Lakers can't take care of so much now, it's important to score first!

Nash sped up the offensive tempo, rushed to the basket after serving quickly in the backcourt, and after attracting the Clippers' defense, he distributed the ball to Howard, who was following behind, and Howard dunked with both hands!

This ball, Li Liang is going to curse again.

"Bubble, are you keeping an eye on people, keep an eye on it! Let someone wipe your ass and make trouble! ”

Paul wasn't focused enough when he was staring at Nash, and Nash tore through the first line of defense.

Jordan Jr. had to come up to help defend, but the back was empty.

Paul did not speak, but his face was full of displeasure.

It's a lot ahead, but the result is still scolded.

But Li Liang scolded very right, this ball is indeed his responsibility.

Two years with the Clippers, now in its third year, it's always been Paul swearing.

Now the situation is different, in the first quarter of the first game, I just played a little half, and I was about to be scolded to death.

I have never suffered so many grievances.

Paul immediately responded by organizing a beautiful positional attack.

He took advantage of Griffin and Lean's appeal on the offensive end and ended up getting the ball into the hands of Caron Butler.

Butler hits a three-pointer from the outside!

18:4!

The Clippers' opening offense was amazingly efficient, and the high was terrifying.

And the Lakers had no other way, Nash used cover outside, stepped to the horn position, and hit a two-point pull-up jumper.

Now the Lakers are relying on Nash's singles.

Nash hit a ball, and Li Liang glared at Paul.

This time Li Liang didn't speak, but Paul felt the pressure.

So, in the next offense, Paul flanked the ball and singled Nash one-on-one.

He walked to the baseline with the ball, then made a step-back jumper and hit!

20:6。

Subsequently, the two sides entered a plateau.

The Lakers started scoring, and Meeks hit a two-pointer in addition to Nash.

Then, Griffin received Li Liang's pass and burst into the basket to dunk with his left hand!

The opening game lasted about seven or eight minutes, and the two sides were very civilized, and so far there has not been a single free throw.

In addition to the fact that the intensity of the two sides has not risen because of the season opener, it is also because the fighting spirit on the Lakers' side is really not strong enough.

The opening was a little confused by the Clippers' random punches.

When the score became 24-8, both sides went into an official timeout.

Rivers rotated the personnel and replaced Li Liang with Matt Barnes.

This is Rivers' rotation, and when he played more than half of the first quarter, he let Li Liang go to rest.

On the second lineup, let Paul take a dozen, and then let Li Liang appear in the middle of the second quarter.

To be honest, Li Liang is not very interested in this type of rotation.

He felt that he had taken too long to rest.

But Rivers, after all, is the head coach, and he still has to save face.

Besides, the team has played well so far in the first game, so let's obey Rivers' rotation arrangement.

When the team can't play one day, Rivers will naturally let Li Liangduo play.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 31-16, and the Clippers led the Lakers by as many as 15 points.

It seems that there is no suspense in the game.

But this is only the first quarter, and the Lakers are not so easy to kill.

Li Liang sat on the sidelines and watched the game on the court with a serious face, and both sides were substitutes in the second quarter.

That's when the Clippers started to have a little bit of problems on the court.

Crawford played on the court with a bench, but on the defensive end, the basket first leaked cleanly, and after being slipped by Blake, a back-to-back pass to Gasol under the basket, Gasol made an easy layup.

Then Crawford missed an outside jumper, the Lakers quickly counterattacked, and it was Gasol again, who rushed to the basket and dunked easily.

Substitute interior Hollins has not kept up with Gasol at all.

Then, Hollins cut to the basket and missed an easy layup.

The Lakers counterattacked, Gasol passed inside high, Xavier Henry cut in the air, and caught the ball and made a layup!

The Lakers started the second quarter with a 6-0 run for the Clippers.

Rivers immediately called a timeout, and the margin went from 15 points to 9 in an instant.

The Clippers' bench is a little silent, but as long as there is Li Liang, there will be no real silence.

"What the hell are you guarding against, what the hell! If you don't know how to defend, I don't mind having a defensive training class to teach you how to defend, for free! ”

Rivers originally wanted to talk to motivate the players, but was interrupted by Li Liangyi's scolding, and he didn't know what to say.

"Uh... Uh, we've got a bit of a problem defensively. ”

It's over, and all the chicken soup in my mouth is washed away, and I don't know what to say.

But the Clippers' bench defense is really a big problem.

Rivers suddenly felt that there was a long way to go.
