At the start of the second quarter, the Clippers fell into a scoring drought.

Griffin led the Clippers' second team on the court against the Heat's second team, but he couldn't catch the ball.

The Heat's strong perimeter pressing defense makes it quite difficult to move the ball.

And the referee's whistle is tight tonight, and the penalties are very strict for the actions in attack and defense.

The Heat were whistled for two defensive fouls, but the Clippers also had two fouls on offense.

This kind of repeated whistle blew the game to pieces, making the Clippers' rapid offense completely unplayable.

The offense on the Heat's side was also average, Wade held the ball and rushed to the basket, turned around and threw the basket, and missed the shot under the interference of the Clippers players.

The ball seemed to hit Wade in the face, but the referee didn't blow the whistle.

Maybe it was just because the whistle sounded too often just now, and it was estimated that the audience would smash eggs if the whistle was blown again, so the referee didn't blow it.

The Clippers fought back again.

Griffin dribbled the ball himself, went all the way to the basket for a layup, was fouled from behind by Birdman Anderson, and the whole person flew out of the baseline.

This time, the referee's whistle sounded, and Griffin flew out and fell on his stomach, and if he didn't blow the whistle, he would be thrown eggs by the audience.

Refereeing is really not easy to do.

And Griffin is also an honest man, although he was fouled hard enough by Anderson, he didn't squeak, and walked towards the free throw line after being pulled up by his teammates.

This ball is going to be replaced by Li Liang, I'm afraid it's not to scold Anderson out of Xiang.

Moreover, Anderson has played in China and should be able to understand Chinese, and Li Liang must ask the country to scold Anderson and let him miss the good times in Nanjing.

As a result, Griffin missed two free throws!

Damn, you're useless when you give you a chance!

Li Liang watched it from the audience, and his brain hurt.

Playing against average teams in front, Griffin has played well with the second team.

As a result, today's super strong team like the Heat showed its original form.

To put it bluntly, the hands are not hard enough.

In high-intensity confrontations, the success rate of the offense dropped significantly.

And as an inside lineman, he has an inherent disadvantage in attacking with the ball, and it is not easy to receive the ball.

As soon as he got the ball, Griffin realized this, so he controlled the ball and killed the basket himself.

As a result, you missed the free throw, how can you still take on the big responsibility?

However, the Clippers' defense was also quite strong, withstanding the Heat's offense and not allowing the Heat to open the gap.

Rea missed a three-point shot from the outside, and the Clippers got a backcourt rebound to fight back.

Griffin is still stuck in the low post to ask for the ball, and it is still Anderson who defends him.

The two men engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight in the low post, and as a result, Anderson was whistled for a defensive foul.

But Rivers on the sidelines was not satisfied, he thought that the Heat had fouled Griffin's defensive actions before, so why did he blow the foul now?

Of course the referee doesn't buy it, Lao Tzu has blown enough fouls, and he is already controlling the actions of the players, are you still beeping?

Okay, beep again, a technical foul for you.

It's still beep, and I'm going to send you back to the locker room to take a shower.

Rivers was whistled for a technical foul and Ray Allen went to the free throw line and hit the free throw.

Rivers, who was blown as a technical offender, returned to the bench, and Li Liang said: "Lao Li, don't be excited, what's the use of you scolding?" Don't worry, I'll go up and scold later. ”

Rivers nodded helplessly, he recently found that the referee's whistle on the Clippers is always a little too strict, and I don't know if it has something to do with Li Liang.

When the new president takes office, he always has to praise some stars and suppress some stars, which has always been the unspoken rule of the league.

Business alliances need to make stars.

For example, before LeBron James left the Cavaliers for the Heat, the referees were obviously more attentive at the whistle.

At that time, James's offensive skills were still flawed, and some of the offensive footwork was not very clean.

Including in the playoffs, the layup that beat the Wizards is still full of controversy.

But after he made the first decision to go to the Heat, that kind of care disappeared, at least it was not always brought up.

On the contrary, James is often mentioned now, even if he enters the inside line and is killed, he will not give the whistle.

Now Li Liang is following James in the MVP rankings, and with his performance, there is a faint trend of becoming the top name in the league.

However, it sounds strange that a Chinese player has become the top name in the NBA.

Rivers wonders if the league has the intention of suppressing Li Liang and the Clippers.

Especially Li Liang's press conference some time ago, which caused a lot of public opinion crisis in the NBA and made Xiao Hua break out in a cold sweat.

This is also very rare in the history of the NBA, comparable to when Bob Cousy led the players on strike at the All-Star Game and demanded that the league formulate a better retirement policy for the players.

Li Liang is more free on the court, and Rivers is really worried that Li Liang will be treated unfavorably in the later games.

Basketball is a game, to be honest, it is still very affected by the referee's decision.

A smart referee can definitely make or break the outcome of a game without violating the rules.

With that concern, Rivers looked at the time, played 4 minutes into the second quarter, and called a timeout.

The score between the Clippers and the Heat was 38-34.

The Clippers scored a total of six points, and if it weren't for Crawford's just shot a three-pointer, the Clippers would have scored even lower.

The Clippers' quick offense was completely unplayed, and the positional battle didn't play Griffin's role.

Crawford's three-point shot is entirely dependent on individual ability, and the dry pull-out from the outside.

There is no doubt that the Clippers' offense was stopped by the Heat and they were in a lot of trouble.

During the timeout, Rivers emphasized that players should move the ball faster, reduce fouls, and reduce the speed of the game.

Rivers specifically instructed Li Liang to pay attention to fouls and not get into trouble with fouls.

Li Liang nodded, he really needs to pay attention to the foul problem recently.

The game restarted, and as soon as it came up, Crawford received the ball from the outside and made a quick three-point shot!

Ball in!

Crawford is hot in his hand, and he has it when he catches the ball.

He didn't care if there was a defense in front of him, he threw the ball with him, and he scored when he threw it.

When your offensive tactics don't work, a player like Crawford is a lifesaver.

Immediately afterwards, the Heat played a beautiful air cut tactic again on the offensive end, Wade cut to the basket, James passed the ball, and Wade received the ball and made a backhand layup.

As a result, it was blocked by Li Liang!

Li Liang came up from behind, tapped lightly on the ball, and removed the ball from Wade's hand.

Then Li Liang took the ball and the Clippers launched a counterattack.

Li Liang didn't listen to Rivers's arrangement at all, and did something to slow down and play slowly.

Playing a cat's position, playing a position is the current configuration of the Clippers, how could it be possible to play the Heat without Paul?

For the Clippers to win this game, they have to play fast, force fast, and bring the rhythm up.

The NBA game is like that, teams with different styles just have to stick to each other's style.

Whoever can stick to his style and play it will win the game.

Therefore, Li Liang made a super long pass from the backfield to the frontcourt, and Griffin was still the forward who rushed to the front.

This pass is quite accurate, Griffin did not dribble after receiving the ball, and directly stepped to the basket and made a layup!

The ball was so hard that Griffin scored and rushed out of the line.

As soon as the goal was scored, it was the Heat's turn to call a timeout, and the difference between the two sides was erased.

However, the timeout did not help the Heat, and the Heat's routine in positional offense was seen through by the Clippers, or Li Liang.

Their air cut no longer worked, and after the timeout, Chalmers tried to cut again, only to be tackled by Li Liang.

Then, Li Liang passed the ball to Crawford, and Crawford's jumper caused a foul on Battier and went to the free throw line.

Crawford played brilliantly in the second quarter, scoring eight straight points after hitting the free throw.

When Crawford was on fire, Li Liang did not hesitate to give him an assist with his passing.

The Clippers are slowly turning the tide around.

Their defense slowly coalesced, under the command of Li Liang.

The Heat moved the ball very quickly, but they couldn't find a good shot.

In the end, Bosh forced a shot from the outside and missed.

The Heat got the frontcourt rebound, Kerr handed the ball to James, and James took the ball and shook it and forced a breakthrough again.

But his breakthrough was blocked by Li Liang, and he jumped into the three-second zone and had no chance to shoot.

wanted to pass the ball, but found that the passing line was blocked, threw it casually, and was intercepted by Li Liang!

The Clippers have launched a fast attack again!

Li Liang passed the ball to Collison, who held the ball and quickly passed the half.

Griffin smashed into the basket like a small forward, Collison threw a high throw, Griffin relayed in the air, and violently smashed the basket!

The Clippers are now completely using Griffin as a small forward, and Li Liang as a power forward, and the effect is surprisingly good.

Li Liang's influence in defense and organization greatly compensated for Griffin's shortcomings, allowing Griffin to give full play to his offensive and athletic strengths and concentrate on scoring.

In the absence of Li Liang, Griffin scored half to death in the inside card position.

With Li Liang, it was much easier to fight back.

In this case, Wade stepped up on the Heat's side.

He received James' pass from the outside, broke through the middle to the inside, and dunked with one hand!

When the team needed to score, James still chose to trust his teammates and Wade's chances instead of stepping up and taking over the game himself.

This ball has to be exchanged for Kobe, and it's strange if you don't shoot a bangbang.

And Li Liang, like James, kept making balls for Crawford and Griffin.

At this point, the two are very consistent, fighting a proxy war.
