Chapter 383: Best player

The Clippers' bench defense is indeed problematic.
In the past two years, Gro has been vigorously building the bench of the Clippers. They have recruited many talented players.
But this talent is often reflected in offensive rather than defensive.
Accumulating offensive talent on the bench is actually a waste, because many strong teams in the second lineup are all-round starters, and several other functional players, defense does not collapse, the offense can just eat a pie.
The Clippers management has been trying to build a bench gangster that is "multifunctional, talented, and the best in the league".
As a result, the Clippers' substitutes can sometimes attack a wave of killing opponents, and sometimes they can be killed.
Rivers himself was not clear about this.
Think of the 2008 Celtics, who recruited from the bench for the championship, PJ Brown, James Posey, Tony Allen, all defensive players.
When it's really time to fight the bayonet in the playoffs, the substitute role player's defense does not collapse, it is a victory, and the offense can be left to the superstar to solve it.
In the era of Negro, the Clippers tried to rely on the bench. The regular season was okay, and the playoffs were not even known to the mother.
In the past two years when Paul came, the Clippers bench was most praised by two people, one Kenyon Martin and one Reggie Evans.
They were all defensive players, but the Clippers didn't leave them.
Now glancing at their bench, Crawford still holds an important position for holding the ball.
Hollins was too slow to catch Gasol.
Darren Chris, who is backing Paul, is the same height as Paul.
You're a short Paul, and you have another one?
As for Griffin... The first quarter played very well, and the second quarter started to be a bit unhealthy.
Matt Barnes is actually alone on the bench.
But Barnes alone couldn't fill so many holes.
During the timeout, Rivers pulled out, reminding the players to slow down and to retreat quickly.
Rivers was about to get the players back on the court, and Li Liang suddenly appeared and said, "Why not let me play?"
Rivers said: "Oh, it's not time yet, be patient."
Li Liang said nothing more, Rivers breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought, what's the matter, I'm a coach, why should I explain to him, and let him be patient?
Li Liang really can't see the past. Why don't you understand Rivers, how can you be so rigid?
Do you have to make a substitution when you are stuck?
Isn’t it a very correct tactical way to replace your best player and play all the time?
Li Liang sat on the bench and shook his head. He said that the current NBA coaches are too rigid.
It’s still Mike Brown. If Brown doesn’t say anything, "Go on Bruce Lee!"
Isn't the problem solved?
It seems that Rivers, the coach, needs to train him slowly.
This guy is a lot of nonsense, there is a bunch of things that didn't exist before and after the game, and the talk was so passionate that Li Liang thought it was not used.
Maybe this little mind of Jordan would be very enthusiastic after listening to it. Li Liang just felt bored.
Playing football is just to win. If you don't play chicken blood, you should win if you drink chicken soup.
After the timeout, Rivers' adjustment was useless.
Crawford threw a three-pointer himself when he took the ball from outside and missed...
If Li Liang is a coach, he takes off his shoes and hits Crawford's head, making him sober.
Did Laozi give you this?
And on the defensive end, the Clippers' inner defense again had problems.
In the same way, Ci Shiping broke the basket on the left corner, and then passed the ball to Gasol. Gasol easily hooked and hit!
31:24, only 7 points left!
The defending champion still has strength.
On the Lakers bench, Mike Brown was slightly relieved and not dead.
It can be said that the creation of the Lakers second lineup really depends on the advice of Li Liang.
Li Liang is not here now, but the play and rhythm of the Lakers' second team is still there.
Gasol's second team chasing points is handy.
The Lakers chase points, making Rivers a little unable to sit still.
Finally, after a continuous dribble from outside Crawford, the mid-range jumper shot and scored two points to ease the situation.
Crawford is like that, you have to say that he is useless, many times he can really enter one-on-one.
You have to say that he is useful. After a game, he always feels that winning has little to do with him, but losing is responsible.
Subsequently, the Lakers used the same routine for the third time in the offense.
Go to the bottom line and then score the ball to the inscribed player.
But this time Barnes successfully blocked Blake's pass and the Clippers won the ball.
Darren Collison took the ball and rushed to the basket, causing Gasol to foul.
Take the free throw line.
The Clippers finally stabilized the situation.
But Li Liang saw that it was a headache off the court. What a mess.
That is to say, the Lakers only have one point on Gasol, and even scored many points, the Clippers only knew about it.
As long as the Lakers have a strong holding point on the outside line, the difference will be smoothed out in a minute.
And they didn't know how to make good use of Griffin during the Clippers offense.
For several consecutive attacks, the outside players played by themselves, without giving Griffin a hand and organizing an attack.
This tactical accomplishment, Li Liang looked really anxious.
Collison made two free throws and the Clippers continued to maintain their advantage.
But on the Lakers side, the offense has already opened.
Steve Blake forced Collison from the left and then crossed Hollins's defense.
Blake can fly and pick the basket, and the Clippers don't know what to do.
To make matters worse, Griffin easily got the ball, but Ci Shiping pulled it back and broke the ball!
Ci Shiping scored a straight layup and succeeded!
35:28, or 7 points.
Afterwards, Griffin was caught in the low post.
Griffin passed the ball to Barnes on the top of the arc. Barnes rushed to the basket and missed!
Barnes, in the end, wanted to tell the referee that the foul, but the referee did not sound the whistle.
The Lakers fight back.
Blake scored a goal to Xavier Henry on the wing. Henry passed Crawford in front of him and then a low-hand layup succeeded!
35:30, only 5 points left!
Henry is another addition to the Lakers this season, with an unguaranteed base salary.
Judging from his current performance in the first game, this base salary is still worth it.
The Lakers' attack of this series caused the Clippers to have a swollen nose and a swollen face.
Rivers still didn't call a timeout, and it would be too faceless to call it again.
Fortunately, the Clippers' bench stood up, Barnes.
When the top of the arc missed three points, the ball bounced into Crawford.
Barnes quickly cut in, and Crawford finally passed the ball to Barnes.
Barnes slammed Gasol and forced a layup!
This ball is critical, and Barnes is not afraid of Gasol's long arm.
Subsequently, Hollins was fouled while defending Gasol on the inside.
Rivers patted Li Liang and Paul on the bench, indicating that they could play.
Li Liang looked at the time, there were 7 minutes left in the second quarter, and they all played 5 minutes!
The Clippers' main force was back on the court, watching the teammates replaced, Li Liang really wanted to scold "You are the worst substitute I have ever brought!"
The second worst is the Lakers opposite.
Li Liang is absolutely not satisfied with the Clippers.
The main force is leading, and the bench comes up to dig the pit, which is the most annoying.
But Rivers is now in the tactical run-in period, waiting for a few more games, he will understand a lot of reasons.
Gasol made two free throws and the Lakers continued to bite the score.
At this time, Li Liang started offense without the ball.
After giving the ball to Griffin on the left, he made a big lap from the bottom line to the right corner.
Jordan and Butler gave him a cover, Griffin returned the ball to Paul, and Paul immediately passed the ball to Li Liang at the right corner.
Nick Young, who is guarding Li Liang, is staring closely. When Li Liang catches the ball and wants to shoot, he jumps up and reaches out to interfere with the block.
As a result, the ball didn't touch, but hit Li Liang.
At the same time, Li Liang still threw the ball!
The ball knocked twice on the rim and finally fell into the net.
"Beep!" The referee whistle.
The goal is scored, three points are counted, and a penalty is added!
The whole Temples was silent.
It hurts, it hurts so much, Bruce Lee stabbed the Lakers fans as soon as he got up.
The lens gave the Lakers a bench. Kobe's face was very bad and a little helpless.
If Kobe can do it, he will have one-on-one with Li Liang.
Standing on the free throw line, Li Liang made a free throw and scored four points.
As soon as Li Liang came on the court, the Clippers defended immediately.
Howard was on the Lakers again, but the outside shot missed. Howard wanted to grab the offensive rebound and was firmly stuck by Li Liang, allowing Jordan to easily pick up a rebound.
Jordan used to help others rebound in the past, or fought hard to grab it. Few people gave him rebounds.
Paul gave the ball, and Paul gave Li Liang the ball.
Li Liang did not want to organize, and then threw it back to Paul, "Vote for yourself!"
Li Liang asked Paul to vote for himself.
As a result, Paul faced Nash one-on-one and scored two points with a high post.
This time Nash is back. At the same time, the Lakers' defensive formation has been compressed a little flat, no one in the high position, you don't vote who votes, but also pass a wool.
Ju face stabilized again.
Li Liang is still doing his job well, making up for defense, assisting defense, catching rebounds and fixing three points.
As for the work of holding the ball, except for the quick break in the first quarter, Li Liang has not revealed his own offensive skills.
After all, it's only in the first half, can't the good show be played until the second half?
At the end of the first half, the two sides became ~EbookFREE.me~ The Clippers led the Lakers by 9 points.
The Clippers didn't play well in the second quarter, and the second team played quite confusingly on the court.
The most important thing is to let the Lakers relax in the early part of the second quarter and the offense slowly opens.
It was impossible for the Clippers to think about killing the Lakers again.
After playing halftime, he returned to the locker room. Li Liang thought that the Clippers' current lineup scheduling and tactical literacy, the playoffs to the west.
Unless Li Liang uses his props and upgrades his strength to another level, he can change his life, otherwise there is still distance from the champion.
What to do, with 5 million Li's guidance, of course, it is necessary to slowly pass the championship experience to this team with no history in history.
To teach them how to win the championship.
The first step of Li Liang is to prove that I am the best player on the team.
