?? Li Liang has been thinking about the lottery for the past two days, but the lottery was drawn, and the task was done, but in the end he didn't get anything useful.

It seems that the system gives props, all depending on fate, and you can't force it.

The season continues, and the intensity of the game is still quite high.

After playing the Bulls, the Clippers will face the challenge of the New York Knicks.

The dense schedule leaves players with little time to improve their individual form, so it's nice to be able to keep it down.

At the same time, the team's defensive training and tactical adjustments are also being carried out.

Mike Brown spends almost every amount of time he can explaining and practicing defensive tactics to his players.

They missed more than a month of training camp, and Brown had to expend more energy in order for his players to better understand the current defensive system.

Looking at the current defensive lineup, Barnes' reference to starting the line isn't particularly effective.

In Brown's vision, Barnes should be more involved in the interior defense and help Griffin and Li Liang fill in the gaps.

But Barnes is getting older after all, and his traverse speed and reaction speed are not particularly satisfactory.

And the worst part is that Barnes' three-point shooting percentage is too low.

When he's off the bench, the three-point shooting percentage isn't too high.

After being promoted to the starting lineup, the defensive pressure and physical exertion increased dramatically, and the three-point shooting rate further declined.

In the game, it is often the case that Paul or Li Liang passes the ball to Barnes, and the bottom corner or 45 degrees is already a big vacancy, and the result is still not to shoot.

Not only can't you shoot, but the ball is often very biased, and you can't get back the feeling with a little adjustment.

The results of low three-point shooting will also be fed back into the defense.

Efficiency on the offensive end has declined, giving opponents more opportunities to counter-attack.

But for now, there's really no better alternative than Barnes.

Butler is at home on the bench, playing more freely with Griffin, Crawford and others on the bench, and can give full play to his ability to attack with the ball.

So Butler is now happy to accept his role as a substitute.

During the warm-up session before the Knicks, Brown shared some of his thoughts and concerns with Mr. Li.

Li Liang said to this: "You ask me? What can I do? What do you want me to do? Can you give me a little bit of your salary? ”

Brown hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, I think there needs to be more tacit understanding between you and Barnes." Yes, tacitly, the two of you should be the best defensive combination in the starters. Versatile, comprehensive, and capable of changing defenses in all positions. ”

Ever since Brown came to the Clippers and focused on defense, a spark of wisdom has always flowed through his mind.

When Li Liang heard this posture, he thought to himself that Mike was probably going to toss me again.

Li Liang suddenly regretted a little, why did he let this black fat man come to the clippers?

Even according to the original lineup and playing style of the Clippers, a fight in the playoffs can still impact the championship, right?

Li Liang didn't want to talk to Brown anymore, and there was still an hour before the start of the game against the Knicks.

……

Last season, the Knicks played a rare performance in recent years.

Carmelo Anthony also had one of his best seasons with the Knicks.

Unfortunately, their roster was too old to support the high-intensity confrontation from the 82 games of the regular season to the playoffs, and finally lost to the younger, more stable Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After that, the Knicks ushered in a decline.

Kidd retired, Rasheed Wallace retired, Tyson Chandler missed most of the start of the season due to injury, and Ronnie Brewer left.

Overall, the veterans have gone through injuries, and some role players have changed positions.

The Knicks' core structure is still there, with Anthony, J.R. Smith, Felton, including the comeback Stoudemire.

But the chemistry and mental support that the veterans bring is especially important for the players in New York.

Without Kidd, the Knicks' offense is no longer organized — even if Kidd himself can't score points at all.

Chandler was injured, the Knicks' defense was missing the last barrier, and their defense was not good in the first place.

The offense and defense each lacked an old man, and the result was that the Knicks collapsed again.

At the start of last season, they were a strong contender for the Eastern Conference title, leading the regular season record for a long time.

This season has been a bloody collapse, with 3 wins and 10 losses so far, and it has not even qualified for the playoffs in the East.

Such a collapse can only say that the Knicks lack a solid system, and the success of last season is very dependent on the experience of the veterans.

Once there is no veteran in charge, with Anthony's ability to lead the team, it can only be the current situation.

The Clippers certainly won't save face for the Knicks at home.

The game started on time, and the two sides played a difficult game in the first quarter.

Li Liang plays against Anthony at the small forward position.

To be honest, Li Liang's defense of Anthony has always been ineffective.

Li Liang is not very afraid of the flow of the body, but more afraid of the flow of technique and rhythm.

Although Anthony's ability to lead the team is average, his one-on-one strength is really strong.

Defending Anthony, confrontation and entanglement, the effect is not particularly obvious.

It's not against Randolph, and Li Liang is a little taller than Anthony.

The big one guards the small one, relying on prediction, footsteps and coverage, and the consequence of personal entanglement is to be passed by one step.

When only the small one defends the big one, or the inside hand-to-hand fight, the strategy of top and bottom plate and crazy bite will be adopted.

In the first quarter, the two sides played hard, Anthony scored 10 points in a single quarter, and the Clippers were 30:27, leading the Knicks by 3 points.

By the second quarter, the Clippers' defensive strategy had changed, with Rivers listening to Brown and letting Barnes deal with Anthony.

Compared with Li Liang, Barnes is more distracted when defending, and he is entangled with Anthony.

Then Li Liang came to the fourth position and began to assist Barnes in dealing with Anthony.

One top defense and one assistant defense, Anthony's life is not comfortable now.

Offensively, Griffin played well tonight.

The former little overlord Stoudemire has long lost the ability to fly away because of injury.

The so-called generation of new people for old people, now the three-second zone is Griffin's world.

He entered the inside line several times after blocking and dismantling with Paul and Li Liang, and won a one-handed dunk.

This is obviously bullying the Knicks for not having a basket on the inside.

Stoudemire couldn't defend when he had good legs, and now he has a knee injury, and his defense is almost degraded.

Chandler wasn't there, and the Knicks' center was Bargnani......

When blocking, Banyani couldn't keep up with Griffin's footsteps at all, let alone defend himself.

The Clippers began to gradually establish an advantage in the third quarter, and the Knicks were fragmented on the offensive end, making it difficult to score back-to-back points.

Li Liang became more and more courageous on the defensive end, and in the third quarter, Kenyon Martin went down after blocking and dismantling in the middle, receiving a pass from Felton, and he was about to dunk after receiving the ball.

As a result, Li Liang, who came from the other side, made up a big hat and pressed it down!

Then Paul counterattacked with the ball, Li Liang quickly passed the half, and hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner!

This goal was scored, and the difference between the two sides was stretched to more than 10 points, and the Knicks gradually couldn't stand it.

Coach Woodson called a timeout and replaced J.R. Smith, hoping that Smith's three-pointer would help the Knicks chase points.

Relying on Anthony alone, the Knicks were too tired to play.

And Anthony can only score, no assists, and when the ball reaches him, it basically can't come out.

It can only be said that Anthony needs a good point guard to help him organize and organize the offense, so that Anthony can concentrate on scoring.

It's a pity that such a point guard is on the opposite side.

What Anthony has is... J.R. Smith.

In the fourth quarter, J.R. Smith came up and hit a three-pointer to close the score a little.

But he immediately made a mistake, and the defensive end was not timely to retreat, and was chased by Li Liang, and the layup caused Smith to foul and go to the free throw line.

This is another score-giving boy, Li Liang is really safe at the free throw line.

Smith was a little slow to the referee's decision, and argued with the referee for a few sentences, only to receive another technical foul.

Three free throws were equivalent to offsetting the three-pointer Smith had just made.

Technical foul free throw, Li Liang hit it steadily.

This was followed by two defensive fouls and free throws.

Li Liang noticed that there were some minor altercations between JR-Smith and Anthony.

Anthony blamed Smith for not having committed a foul in the first place, let alone fighting the referee for a technical foul.

Smith said, "I'm just going to defend well and see how we play." ”

There was a palpable resentment in Smith's words.

Now the Knicks are in a really bad situation, losing consecutive games, low morale, and completely lacking the courage of last season.

And Anthony and Smith are also old acquaintances, they played together during the Nuggets period, and both of them are more temperamental.

There were occasional small conflicts during the Nuggets period, and now that they are older, some people will never grow up and mature.

Faced with this situation, of course, Li Liang wanted to add fuel to the fire, plus fall into the ground.

He didn't talk trash, but quietly pulled out the [tap foul odor] from the system before executing the free throw.

He's always ready for it, just looking for a chance to use it.

Now's your chance.

Soon, when Anthony and J.R. Smith were standing on the edge of the three-second zone waiting for a free throw, they suddenly felt a strange smell in front of their noses.

Then, Li Liang hit the first free throw.

Just as he was about to take his second penalty, Smith suddenly bent over and pretended to tie his shoes.

He then untied Anthony's shoelace, which was standing next to him.

Well? Li Liang had a black question mark on his face.

After hitting the first free throw, he had been secretly watching Smith and Anthony to see if the two would fight.

It's going to be a fight, and it's going to be hilarious.

As a result, the two did not fight, but Smith made a commotion and untied his shoelaces!

Li Liang didn't care, and the second penalty was also hit steadily.

At this time, Anthony reacted that his shoelaces were loose, and they were untied by Smith.

Anthony felt an uncontrollable anger rush to his head and pushed Smith directly.

“What the fXXk！” Anthony cursed and pushed Smith, who was on his knees, to the ground.

Smith immediately got up from the ground and pushed Anthony back.

Everyone else was dumbfounded, how did these two people push each other so well?

They're teammates, not opponents!

Just when the conflict was about to escalate, Li Liang came over to be a good man.

He stood between Smith and Anthony, separating them from punching each other.

In fact, you are the culprit!

However, Li Liang just wanted to try the function of this prop, and didn't really want to see Anthony and Smith fight.

This is really going to be fought, and the trouble will be fought.

There are a lot of fights in the history of the NBA, but they are all opponents who are on top of each other, and if you don't understand your hatred, you can only hit people.

Can teammates beat each other on the field? This is very rare.

If anything, the Knicks did happen in the 04-05 season.

Penny Hardaway and Marbury were both on the Knicks at the time, and they almost got into an argument over a passing issue during the game.

In this way, the Knicks have a tradition of infighting.

After Li Liang separated the two, the rest of the Knicks also stepped forward and pulled Anthony and Smith apart.

At this time, the role of the props seemed to disappear, and the two of them came to their senses, both of them were a little confused.

It seems that this odorant did not last long.

But if it's used in a game, it's really a killer weapon that affects morale and team status.

This little episode made the game fun all at once.

If it's just a simple conflict and a quarrel, forget it, and as a result, Smith actually went to untie Anthony's shoelaces?

What is this operation?

The most speechless person is Little Jordan.

Originally, little Jordan was still standing between Anthony and Smith, and Smith was stunned by a person, and reached out to untie Anthony's shoelace.

Little Jordan was a little skeptical, was Smith going to untie his own shoelaces, but he mistakenly interpreted them as Anthony's?

I can't figure it out, little Jordan really can't figure it out.

The end result of the game was, of course, that the Knicks were powerless.

Originally, their strength was not good, and the internal military spirit was unstable, but Smith and Anthony almost fought, how can this game be played?

And the Clippers did a very good job of defending this game, reducing the Knicks' shooting percentage to 30 percent.

In the end, they beat the Knicks 101-80, 21 points at home.

Not only did the Knicks lose, but they also made a big joke.

The video footage of Smith untying Anthony's shoelaces was repeated on the big screen many times, and everyone couldn't figure out what Smith was thinking.

Of course, for the Clippers, in addition to picking up a win and extending their winning streak to 10 games, they also have bad news.

Chris Paul suffered a hamstring strain midway through a dribble duel and had to go back to the locker room early.

After a bit of processing in the dressing room, Paul returned to the pitch at the end of the game, but he didn't need to play again.

Paul's non-confrontational injury has made people worry a little about his health.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Paul said that his leg injury was not serious.

Whether you can participate in the next game and whether you need to rest depends on the arrangement of the coaching staff.

And in the next game of the Clippers, Nima is going to beat the king!
