?? Last season in the Lakers, because Kobe Bryant was on the same team, the opponent's second and third defensive gates would definitely deal with Kobe.

Not only that, in order to set traps for Kobe, the opponent's outside line will often trap and assist Kobe in advance.

Therefore, Li Liang can get so many good opportunities to make empty shots.

Part of the credit for his high-percentage three-point shooting goes to Kobe.

When it comes to the Clippers, it is different, Li Liang himself has become the strongest point on the Clippers' front line, and naturally he has to face the opponent's strongest defense.

Iguodala tried his best to defend in the first quarter, but Li Liang's opening hand was too good, and he grabbed the Warriors' loopholes with several shots.

From the second quarter onwards, Iguodala took care of Li Liang at the highest level of defense.

Iguodala's defense is really not comparable to Nick Young, and even much better than the current Ci Shiping, because the current Ci Shiping is too slow.

Iguodala is a first-class player in terms of physicality, defensive skills, and defensive awareness.

Last season, every time they played the Nuggets, the Lakers struggled, and Iguodala's main defender at that time was Kobe Bryant.

Now it is Li Liang's turn to entangle with Iguodala one-on-one, and Li Liang gradually realizes how difficult Kobe Bryant is.

First of all, to get rid of Iguodala's entanglement, it will take a lot of effort to catch the ball from the opponent's hand.

In the middle of the second quarter, the pace of the game between the two sides gradually slowed down, and the two sides increasingly attacked in positional battles.

The pace slows down, and it is not easy for Li Liang to get an easy shot.

Once he receives the ball, Iguodala will inevitably defend it strictly, and Li Liang knew that he didn't feel good after missing two three-point shots, so he decided to reduce his shots.

And Curry grabbed a long rebound, dribbled and pushed the counterattack, and after half court, he shot directly outside the three-point line and hit a three-point shot!

Then, the referee blew Li Liang for an offensive foul on the offensive end.

When Li Liang was in the position with Iguodala, he was blown a pusher.

Li Liang was obviously a little anxious by Iguodala's tangled defense.

This time he didn't go to the referee to reason, because he knew that he was not calm enough.

He needs to calm down, reassess the situation on the pitch and not get caught up in the defensive traps of the opposition and his own emotions.

Then the Warriors had another series of cooperation, Iguodala received the ball under the basket, and after feintting to shake off Li Liang, he made a backhand layup!

The Warriors have chased the score to 45:40, only five points behind the Clippers.

Li Liang undoubtedly fell into the Warriors' defensive trap.

Iguodala was out there dealing with Li Liang with the same treatment as Kobe.

At the same time, Curry, Thompson, David Lee and others are ready to come forward to help defend Li Liang at any time.

To be honest, Li Liang's ball-holding offense is by no means strong to the point of 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and even 1 to 1 is still a problem with a defensive titan like Iguodala.

He's more now able to dribble and push fast breaks, or catch the ball on the counterattack and shoot the basket.

In short, it's okay to surprise the opponent, and if you want to break through the positional battle to kill or eat, he is still a little hot.

At this time, Li Liang chose to hibernate.

Just like last season when you were with the Lakers, once you are targeted, take it slow and don't take the lead.

Do a good job of supporting work such as defense and strategy, wait for opportunities, and look for opportunities to bite the opponent again.

From this point of view, Li Liang is a little more like James, he should be cowardly, and he will never be iron-headed!

Li Liang put his energy into defense, and the Clippers' offense relied more on Paul.

Li Liang gave Paul a cover on the outside, Paul dribbled all the way from the right side at 45 degrees, slipped the baseline and circled to the left sideline, reflexively made a backward jumper, and hit!

Paul's desire to attack tonight is max!

After scoring a goal, Paul made a one-on-one steal of Curry on the defensive end!

This ball, Li Liang stepped forward to surround Curry with Paul and broke the ball from Curry's hand.

Curry already had five turnovers in the half.

In order not to give Li Liang a chance to break quickly, Curry can only foul.

The camera shows Curry, who takes off his braces and keeps shaking his head.

Originally, he saw that the momentum was about to rise, but a mistake ruined the Warriors' counterattack momentum.

The offense will be out of shape because of poor hand, but the defense often won't deceive you, which Li Liang knows very well.

After an official timeout, the two sides returned to the pitch and the game resumed.

At this point, the Warriors' defensive alignment changed.

Mark Jackson no longer had Curry to defend Paul, but Klay Thompson instead.

Jackson knew that he couldn't let Paul fight like this anymore, and the more Paul hit, the better he felt, and he was about to be unstoppable.

But the superstar comes to feel that it's not so easy to prevent.

Sure enough, Thompson fouled Paul while defending him and sent Paul to the free throw line.

Paul hit both free throws, 49:40, and the margin widened again.

Li Liang was very satisfied with Paul's performance, "Bubble, you played well, come and touch your head." ”

Li Liang stepped forward and touched Paul's head, but Paul did not refuse.

You must know that Paul is notoriously not tall, has a very high heart, and hates being touched on the head.

But as soon as Li Liang's [Tim Duncan's head touch] came out, no one could stop him.

Then, the Warriors' ball handler became Iguodala, and Curry ran without the ball, went around in a big circle with the help of cover, and received Iguodala's pass on the right side and shot a three-point shot!

The ball brushed out of the basket and did not go in.

Li Liang knew that his opportunity had come!

Running like a mad dog towards the front, getting rid of Iguodala.

Paul's pass came as expected, as if he had eyes, and Li Liang received the ball in the bottom right corner.

Li Liang didn't make too many adjustments, he knew that this was his point!

Three points in the bottom corner, open hand hit!

It's too late for Iguodala to chase after him.

Seeing the ball score, Iguodala was quite discouraged and tried his best to defend, but he still seized the opportunity.

This is Li Liang's consistent style, stealing chickens and touching dogs, seizing the slightest opportunity, can give the opponent the biggest blow.

But if Li Liang just steals chickens and dogs, then he can't be the best player of the Clippers.

At least in the first half, the real engine of the Clippers, the captain of the team, was Chris Paul.

At 52:40, the Clippers reopened the gap to 12 points.

The Warriors certainly won't give up on that, and they're a pretty tenacious team.

Since the tactics of cutting and running away didn't work, the Warriors players began to use their individual abilities to attack.

The basketball game is like this, at the beginning the two sides have a similar tactic, the leading side plays smoothly, and the tactics tend to be more and more lively.

If the lagging side does not play well, it will either adjust and strengthen the defense, and on the other hand, it will depend on the individual ability of the players.

Klay Thompson used his power to eat Butler and shoot after hitting the basket.

Jordan Jr. came over for a grab hat and was blown to interfere with the ball.

Jordan didn't learn anything else from Howard, and he learned to be like a hat jam.

The fans at the stadium certainly thought it was a good hat, and there was boos in the arena.

Then, Thompson faced Paul again, and this time he didn't foul him, but instead gave a "greatest defence."

Paul faced Thompson, dribbling the ball under his hips in succession, and couldn't get rid of it after changing directions.

and Griffin twice covered the back block, but finally failed to break through Thompson's defense, and forced a shot to end in three no-sticks.

24-second violation.

Then, Thompson received the ball again, dribbled sideways one-on-one, and threw a step-back jumper.

But the ball was capped down by Li Liang from behind!

Thompson didn't expect Li Liang on the other side to react so quickly, so he was unprepared.

Li Liang pulled the ball off Thompson's hand and handed it back to Paul.

Then, Li Liang ran to the right side at 45 degrees, and Paul passed the ball to Li Liang very tacitly.

Iguodala tried to catch up, but it was too late.

Li Liang made another three-point shot and hit again!

Although this ball still relies on counterattacks and is not stable by playing a foothold, but he can get the ball in, what can you do?

However, Thompson immediately responded with a three-pointer when he received a pass from David Lee at 45 degrees on the left side and hit it directly.

The audience at the scene was dizzying when they saw these three points one after another.

It can be expected that in the new season, the league's average three-point shooting and shooting per game will reach a new high.

For shooters like Li Liang, Thompson, and Curry, shooting a three-pointer is as simple as eating and drinking.

There's no longer a need for overly complicated combinations, or absolute big openings, and you can throw the ball in at the slightest chance.

After two minutes of hibernation, Li Liang re-exposed his fangs.

He then took a pass from Paul, drove to the basket, and then assisted Griffin for a layup.

The Warriors are now facing a big problem on the defensive end, and when all the attention is on Li Liang, Paul is thriving.

And now, Thompson and Iguodala have joined forces to harass Paul, and Li Liang has come out to fight the autumn wind again!

See, the Clippers are about to score 58 at halftime, and the first half of the game is not over yet.

For the Warriors, the most important thing for them is to score, bite the score and wait for the opportunity to turn the situation on the court.

But Thompson's breakthrough was wrong, and he wanted to repeat his old trick by moving on the wing and using his power to push Butler away.

As a result, Li Liang made up for it at the last moment, causing Thompson to dribble out of the baseline......

"Spicy chicken dribbles, it's not as good as me." Li Liang silently complained about Thompson.

Speaking of which, now the dribbling breakthrough level of the two is actually half a catty.

However, Li Liang is a chicken thief, he feels that his positional battle should not be able to break through, so he plays a quick counterattack.

After a quick serve in the backcourt, Paul used his speed to break through the Warriors' two defenses, and then Li Liang opened the air.

Paul hit the ground and passed to Li Liang, Li Liang dribbled all the way to the basket, he was not afraid of the confrontation with Iguodala, and forced a layup on the right side.

58！

Li Liang relied on his quick counterattack layup to help the Clippers score 58 points before the end of the half.

And he himself, before he knew it, had scored 21 points.

Don't look at Paul's breakthrough again, a strong dunk, and a trick for Curry's backward jumper, the operation is as fierce as a tiger, and when you look at the score, it is still not as good as Li Liangduo.

Rivers watched from the sidelines, thinking that this was actually unfair on the basketball court.

Paul's height is there, and every time he scores, he has to do all kinds of things, and in the end, although the goals are beautiful, the points don't increase.

And Bruce Lee, a kid with a three-pointer on the left and a three-pointer on the right, simply shot a few shots, and then stole a few faster, and the score went up.

His height and size are determined, and he doesn't need to do much to make a move with ease.

However, if Li Liang can only steal chickens, he will only be a top cake eater and pot picker, such as James Worthy, and will never become a playmaker like Paul.

And Li Liang's goal will never be just a cake eater, a pot man.
