Chapter 320: The Darling of Los Angeles

?? After all, the Clippers are superior in terms of strength, and once the whole team tightens the clockwork and defends seriously, the Nets have little chance.

Of course, the Nets did not give up, and Plumlee played quite tough on the inside tonight, not only constantly grabbing frontcourt rebounds, but also causing Jordan Jr. to foul several times and go to the free throw line.

Jordan Jr.'s performance tonight was still very good, with excellent rebounding and block statistics.

But in the conversation with Plumlee, he was bullied several times.

Before the end of the fourth quarter, Plumlee hit four free throws and had already scored 19 points.

And Kidd is very bold in the lineup layout when there is a shortage of personnel and the main team is resting.

After Plumlee completed the mission, when the Clippers replaced Griffin on this side, Kidd used a lineup of 1 big and 4 small.

With one Bradge on the inside and four shooters on the outside, this lineup is chasing points and fighting for offense.

The Nets opened up the space on the court because Blatch also has the ability to shoot threes.

In the case of a large space and a large area, Li Liang's ability to assist in defense was weakened.

The Nets took advantage of the misalignment in a row and singled Crawford with Joe Johnson.

It's just warmth.

Joe Johnson scored back-to-back points to help the Nets close the score.

At this time, Li Liang stood up again, and a three-point shot from the outside line stabilized the situation.

Then Rivers made a decisive substitution, replacing Jordan Jr. with Griffin.

In this way, give up the basket under the basket and play against the Nets.

This move is very risky, because there is a high chance that the rebound will be snatched by the Nets.

A rebound at a critical moment is worth a thousand dollars.

But the combination of Li Liang and Griffin withstood the test.

In the last 6 minutes or so, the backcourt rebounds well protected and did not give the Nets a chance.

On the offensive end, with more Griffin, the Nets obviously don't know how to defend it.

Griffin received passes from Li Liang and Paul respectively, and scored twice in the low post.

At the last moment, the Nets also wanted to use foul tactics, and as a result, the free throw shooting percentage of the people on the court was ...... It's better to forget it, and then give up after trying once, isn't this a point giveaway?

In the end, the Clippers defeated the visiting Nets by 111:103, 8 points at home, and continued to maintain the winning momentum.

At present, their record is 8-2, and they are in first place in the West.

In this game, Li Liang scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and was the best player of the game.

After Brown came, Li Liang's statistics and performance on the field have improved a lot.

But correspondingly, the low position of the former champion Griffin has dropped a lot.

At the moment, he has become the team's third choice through and through.

He can only play a dozen as the core of the attack when he is leading the second team.

Now the ball is basically turning in the hands of Paul and Li Liang, and there is a tendency to concentrate more and more towards Li Liang's hands.

The reason is very simple, Li Liang can score goals.

Aren't you dribbling around on the outside, tossing and turning to get the ball into that basket?

Since Li Liang can efficiently send the ball to the basket, he should give him more balls, which is a very simple truth on the basketball court.

Of course, Li Liang's good life will definitely not last long.

Now the whole league has begun to study and target Li Liang defensively, which is the path that any league star has to go through.

Some of the best basketball tactics researchers in the world will carefully analyze and interpret you on footage every day.

The area where you shoot the most accurately, which route has the most breaks, the time you take to shoot, whether there are any habitual movements, and other details that even the players themselves don't know will appear in the coaches' playbooks of each team.

Then, the defensive coach will study Li Liang and formulate a set of defensive strategies for the players to execute.

Once this is the case, there will be many kinds of targets for many years.

Of course, it is mainly limited to the playoffs and some strong teams that have pursuits.

If you want to run into the Timberwolves and the Kings, just a few blind fights, just a few blind defenses.

What is there to target, if you feel good and are in good shape, you can win, and if you are not good, you will lose, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, Li Liang still needs a real strong team to test his quality.

Under intense defensive pressure, can he still play such an easy scoring game?

The answer will be revealed in two days' time, and on November 18, the Clippers will host their last consecutive home opponent, the Memphis Grizzlies.

……

Li Liang didn't care who his next opponent was.

What grizzly bears, Timberwolves huskies, after a game, he will forget about a game and go back to have a good rest.

For him, the regular season is an experience, not an achievement.

He doesn't just play well one night and score 40 points, just rely on this good memory for a week and wait for the next outburst.

He's played a lot of games, including some that have shaped NBA history, so he doesn't care.

He is more concerned about whether his strength has improved, whether his tactical understanding has deepened, and whether some technical moves can be used well.

Recently, Li Liang has been seriously studying or learning to stop jump shots and catch jump shots.

He followed Alan Houston as he learned the catch-and-shoot jumper and pull-up jumper.

Alan Houston is somewhat similar to Li Liang, although he is a black player, but his physical fitness is not particularly strong.

That's why he chooses to use jump shots as the main offensive means.

Houston is known as the mid-range shooting king not only because of his shooting posture standards, but also because of his rhythm point control.

For players whose physical fitness is not top-notch, if they can't rely on speed and bounce to get rid of the opponent's shooting interference, they need to use feints to find a good rhythm and play the time difference, so that the opponent's interference will not be effective.

In this respect, Pierce is a more advanced rhythm master.

However, Pierce's shooting is more ball-handling, Alan Houston receives the ball more, and the ball-handling approach is more crisp.

In addition to learning from Houston to complete basic shooting tasks, Li Liang will spend the rest of his time with Houston for advice on how to have a good shooting rhythm.

Recently, Li Liang has used a lot of pull-up jump shots in the game, and after entering the inside line, he will sometimes be capped.

You want him to lean back, that's impossible, he hasn't learned it yet.

First, practice and master the basic skills of emergency stop.

Alan Houston's answer is very simple, he gave two suggestions, one is to practice dribbling more and practice dribbling better, and the other is to improve the core strength and train your core more consistently.

Houston's advice is quite pertinent and practical, and it doesn't give any "tricks" to the head.

In the final analysis, there is only one trick in basketball, which is to practice more and find the right way to practice more.

On this day on the 17th, Li Liang seized the time of the day, slept at home, entered the [physical fitness] dimension of the system, and further improved his core strength.

Of course, Li Liang practiced diligently in the system himself, and his teammates thought he was lazy and didn't come to train again.

When everyone can't help it, who made him a popular fried chicken now, the darling of Los Angeles?

Switching from the Lakers to the Clippers not only didn't get much scolding, but also became more popular.

Even in some restaurants in Los Angeles, "Bruce-Lee Sandwiches", "Bruce-Lee Burgers", "Bruce-Lee Hot Dogs" appeared. ”

Naming food after a player is a way for the American people to express their affection for them.

If this is in China, Li Liang's three-point shooting is so accurate, there is a high probability that he will be on the small advertisement of infertility in Putian Hospital.

"Want to get a hit? Come to XX Infertility Hospital! ”

Or maybe already on small ads.
