Li Liang is modest and modest, and the award he deserves is still to be won.

This MVP Li Liang can be said to have been coveted for a long time.

Does he care about that bit of fame and honor?

No, he wants a reward!

The regular season MVP will definitely reward a lot of rage, and there should be some special items.

Li Liang has been coveting it for a long time, and he can take as many anger points and props as he can.

After the regular season, the MVP selection has begun in full swing.

If nothing else, the result will be in the semi-finals.

The Clippers won the first big game, Li Liang scored 47 points, and all the media at home and abroad incarnated as Li Liangchuan.

Some media even compared Li Liang to Abdul-Jabbar.

But Abdul-Jabbar is a well-deserved champion, and Li Liang is a second-round show.

Miracles, can only be said to be miracles.

There are three other games on the same day as the Clippers and Mavericks.

The Thunder, who are third in the West, face the Warriors in the first round, and the two teams have met in the first round for the second consecutive season.

As a result, the Warriors, who fell at the feet of the Thunder last season, broke out again in the first game, and Curry scored 31 points in a single game.

With a performance of 31+10 assists, get a win on the road.

Curry's performance in the playoffs is indeed excellent, but it looks a little dim under the dazzling light of Li Liang.

In addition, the Heat, who ranked first in the East, also easily defeated the Hawks in the first game, James 28+9+8, quasi-triple-double, stable and boring.

But James was really strong, and he felt like he was completely lacking in the first game.

In fact, James's team has never had a hard time playing in the first round, as long as it enters the playoffs, it has never fallen in the first round.

In comparison, a team in the west, having a first round is like the New Year, which is really a bit different.

In the other game, the Nets of the old Big Three defeated the Raptors and played the first game like the Warriors.

The spicy Pierce dominated the game in the final moments, and Garnett also had a key play.

But it's hard to say how far they can go with sixth place in the regular season.

Although the Raptors are young, they have gone through the discomfort period of the first game, and they will be relieved later.

By the second day, the results of the other four groups of competitions in the east and west had also been obtained.

The Trail Blazers beat the Houston Rockets at home, and Aldridge scored 35 points on Josh Smith's head.

The Rockets' defense became porous in the face of the Trail Blazers' fluid offense, and they held up for most of the court before finally collapsing across the board.

It can be seen that the Houstonians are going to "be clever and calculated" again this season.

The other matchup in the West is the Spurs against the seventh-placed Grizzlies.

The competition in the West was so fierce that a team as strong as the Grizzlies ended up in seventh place, and they also met the Spurs.

The Spurs haven't been polite to the Grizzlies since losing to the Grizzlies in the first round in 2011.

The first game against the Grizzlies was a fat beating, and the Grizzlies' inside-based black and white double bear play had no advantage in the face of the Spurs' interior Duncan and Split.

The whole team is suppressed by the Spurs from the configuration to the style, and I really don't see any chance of winning.

The Spurs are really a grudge team, and several years have passed, and they are not ready to let go of the Grizzlies.

In the East, the Pacers and Bulls in the top half of the region both won at home, and the whole day today looked a little uneventful.

The Clippers were given two days off after Game 1.

The second game was scheduled for April 22, and the Clippers spent two days resting and adjusting.

Li Liang took part in the training as usual.

This is during the playoffs, just like a student who has entered the "college entrance examination mode", usually drives a small car, goes home and sneaks into cram school, and when the college entrance examination is approaching, then seriously review at school.

Every game in the playoffs is a new challenge, and the dynamics of the game can change rapidly.

In the last game, you won by three points, and the next game you may be a three-point dog.

If a team wants to advance smoothly, on the one hand, it must understand the strengths and weaknesses of its opponents, and on the other hand, it must also play its own characteristics in many directions.

A player can eat all the tricks in one move, and it is impossible for a team to win all the way to the championship.

Rivers is a very experienced coach who has faced all kinds of bad situations, so he was very prescient.

During these two days, the team focused on defence.

He thinks that the Mavericks have a lot of ability to blossom, and the last game was completely blinded by Li Liang, otherwise the Clippers would not have won so easily.

If you want to really and completely crush the Mavericks, you still need to use stable defense as a basic game.

On the day of the competition on April 22, the process of the game really confirmed Lao Li's idea.

In the first quarter, the two sides still played back and forth, and the Clippers brought the aftermath of a big victory, sparks and lightning all the way, and the end of the first quarter stretched the difference to 10 points.

But the Mavericks, who came to their senses, didn't mess up at all, starting with defense and doing their best to cut off the Clippers' passing ball.

Li Liang played a little impatient in the second quarter, and there were mistakes in several passes.

This is Li Liang's biggest problem at the moment, when he tries to organize the team's attack, in order to play a quick effect of surprise, he often passes some very risky balls.

It's okay if the pass is successful, but if the pass is unsuccessful, the result is a mistake and the opponent counterattacks.

The Mavericks paid special attention to the blockade of Li Liang's passing line tonight, and as for the three-point - Carlisle chose to give up, and the normal defense did not pinch the shot.

Carlisle repeatedly stressed to the players before the start of the game that if Li Liang was not included, he would let him vote.

In the second quarter, like the previous game, Li Liang concocted his [Gravitational Wooden Fish] and took out his [Gravitational Wooden Fish], only to find that the effect was discounted.

He knew that the Mavericks must have done something to prevent passes, and the players were very careful to prevent passes and shots.

Li Liang's three-point hand tonight is average, and he does not have the immortal level like the last game.

In the middle and late stages of the second quarter, the Mavericks took advantage of Li Liang's mistakes to play multiple counterattacks, and the difference between the two sides quickly narrowed.

At the end of the first half, the Mavericks even led the Clippers by one point at 61:60.

Both sides scored highly, and the Clippers defense felt a little careless.

The Mavericks are like this, Nowitzki is the absolute core of the tactics, but his style of play is not ball-handling, so if you try your best to pinch Nowitzki and ignore the others, you must die a miserable death.

But if you don't pinch Nowitzki, Nowitzki will make you die a miserable death.

That's what makes Nowitzki unique, his containment, deterrence, and importance to tactical initiation on the court is unique to the Mavericks.

That is, Nowitzki is now old and in much worse shape, otherwise the Clippers may fall behind even more at halftime.

In the third quarter, in order to target Nowitzki, the Clippers began to use blocks and pick-and-rolls, and Ranowski came out for military training.

At the start of the second half, Paul scored twice in a row with a one-on-one misplaced single, Novitzki.

But the Mavericks insisted on changing defenses and insisting on misalignment, which was to let Paul play one-on-one.

Because the Mavericks know that if they don't change their guard and don't rotate, the Clippers will tear apart the Mavericks' defense with passes, and finally all the players will explode and kill the Mavericks.

Carlisle chose to contain Paul and Li Liang's organization, not allowing them to lead the whole Clippers team, and then let two people attack, betting that the attack of two people would not kill the Mavericks.

Paul's offense will indeed kill people, but what about Li Liang?

Not necessarily.

After all, Li Liang still lacks the ability to attack with the ball, there are too few tricks, only relying on three points, two or three games may break out in a series, and it is very difficult to explode two games in a row.

It can be said that Carlisle's vision is still very accurate.

But this does not mean that Li Liang will sit still, like Kobe, he wants to attack.

In the third quarter, when the two sides were entangled, Li Liang rarely used the three-point shooting rate improvement post to open the situation, but used the steal success rate improvement post, and in about five minutes, he made two steals and destroyed the Mavericks' offense twice.

Defense, the most basic and fundamental thing, Li Liang has never forgotten.

He came to the power forward position and built a no-fly zone on the inside with Jordan Jr.

After four offenses that sabotaged the Mavericks, Li Liang caused another offensive foul on Nowitzki.

Nowitzki was so anxious that he yelled at the referee after being whistled for a foul, only to receive another technical foul.

Li Liang executed a technical foul and scored 1 point, and Li Liang only scored 16 points in the third quarter, but the Clippers have surpassed the Mavericks by 7 points.

7 points, not much, but as the Clippers become more solid and confident on defense.

Jordan Jr. contributed 5 blocks on the inside tonight, fanning out the Mavericks' assault offense from the outside.

At the same time, Li Liang went all out to make up for the blank space left under Jordan Jr.'s basket.

In this way, to a certain extent, the Mavericks' three-point shooting opened, and the Mavericks relied on three-point shots to set off a wave of counterattacks in the fourth quarter.

Carter, Harris and Ellis hit back-to-back three-pointers.

At this time, Li Liang hit two three-pointers in response in the offense, which played the role of a needle in the sea.

It was a collaboration between him and Paul.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers relied on the play of Li Liang and Paul to hold the advantage.

The Mavericks scored 61 points in the first half and scored 33 points in the entire second half.

The Clippers defeated the Mavericks by 101-94, 7 points, and took a 2-0 lead.

Two games, one offense and one defense, the Clippers showed people the depth of the 70-win team in different ways.

Li Liang and Paul scored more than 50 points together, not to mention how much 50 is, and worked together to defeat the opponent, it can be said that the two of them have a bit of a sense of combining guns from this game.
