Chapter 384: First win

Chris Paul is undoubtedly one of the best players in the league.
But he is always a little short of "top".
And this is what determines whether you are a real winner or a successful loser in the NBA.
During the halftime, Rivers continued to emphasize the team's defense and some details in the locker room.
Rivers' coaching style is very different from Brown's.
Rivers's eloquence is very good, and some plain words will be very inspiring in his mouth.
This is a major feature of player coaches who are good at inspiring.
And Rivers respects his players very much. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
The advantage is that the relationship between the players and the coach will not be too bad, willing to listen to him.
The disadvantage is that sometimes some players do not play well and you do not criticize him. As a result, the problem cannot be solved.
A major reason for Rivers' success at the Celtics is that the veteran of the team has replaced the coach's necessary reprimand function.
For example, Kevin Garnett's big mouth, you don't defend well on the field, Garnett must scold you for a dog blood sprinkler.
Arriving at the Clippers, Rivers found that a guy scolded someone, perhaps more fierce than Garnett.
That's naturally Li Liang.
From the beginning of the preseason, Li Liang has not cursed.
Not to mention the regular season, the first half has been nagging.
Li Liang's curse is the same as last season. When the hair dryer is turned on, he doesn't swear, he just points out the problem realistically.
Rivers sometimes heard Li Liang scolding too much, and would make a round, but next time he should let Li Liang continue scolding.
Because Rivers knew he needed someone like Garnett to boost the team's defense and morale.
So, after finishing Rivers' chicken soup at halftime, Li Liang started to use a hair dryer to spray people.
"What are you defending against, ah? It's important to start the first game of the season. Do you know if you are a little bit spirited, do you want to win the championship! From the first game, we must go all out and we must be After the defense is played, do you think that the loose play can be tense later? Impossible, this is impossible! From the beginning, we must maintain the strongest fighting spirit!"
Li Liang repeatedly emphasized that he must maintain strength and fighting spirit from the beginning, but felt that he could find the state slowly.
The Clippers are still quite old, and have been in the NBA for many years.
You have to say that they don't play well. Each one has two brushes, so they can stand alone.
You have to say that you played well, and you haven't proved yourself in a real key game so far.
Needless to say, Crawford did not play a playoff game in the first nine years of entering the NBA.
He didn't start his playoffs until the Eagles, and each playoff performance will always decline compared to the regular season.
It goes without saying that the defense, as usual, scored and averaged scoring and shooting percentages are certainly not as good as the regular season.
Last season, the playoffs averaged no more than 10 points per game, and did not provide enough firepower for the team.
And Barnes, who has been conscientiously doing a lot of work with a low salary, but in the playoffs, always can not hit the three-pointer.
Butler was once the best rookie first team, two-time All-Star, the strength is needless to say.
He is also the Clippers' only player with a championship ring except Li Liang and Jamison.
But how did his ring come from? In the Dallas Mavericks, as the team's second scorer, the playoffs were reimbursed, and the Lone Ranger won...
Lie down and take a championship!
Such a player gives the impression that he has strength, but there is always a difference between him and the "championship member".
Li Liang doesn't know what the difference is, but he knows what he should do to win the championship.
Set the goal of the championship, then from the first game of the season, the first ball, we must go all out to win.
It was not until the end of the championship in June.
Li Liang said that the entire Clippers locker room was silent, and no one dared to refute it.
The hair dryer buzzed and the atmosphere was a little dignified.
In the end, Li Liang said: "In the second half of the game, we must play our part and pay attention to each of your opponents, even if we are stronger than the opponents. A great man in our country once said that we despise our opponents strategically and tactically. Pay attention to opponents. The Lakers will not be a stumbling block on our roads this season. Many teams will not be, but we must pay attention to the game and beat them to achieve our own."
Li Liang also learned a lot about the ability to irrigate chicken soup.
After a few words, the intermission is over and the players have to return to the court game.
The Clippers felt a little different from before. In the past, Paul stood up and talked, but this time he changed.
But since Paul didn't say anything, everyone had no comment.
As for why Paul did not speak, because Paul felt that Li Liang was too TM right!
Something Paul wanted to say a long time ago, but Paul still wanted to be face-saving and to maintain his brotherly manner.
Nothing like Li Liang, who has no face and no skin, cares about him, three, seventy-one, and scolds.
There is no consciousness of outsiders at all, it is so domineering.
And the socks smell strange, and the entire Clippers locker room smells of smelly socks.
It is said that the pair of socks he wore has not been washed by the Lakers for a season and is his lucky socks.
In fact, this is Li Liang's wish. Li Liang's socks are washed every day. Whatever the system sends, it is very sturdy. It has been worn for a season and can be worn with high-intensity polishing.
But stink is really stinking.
The Clippers have no choice but to endure Li Liang's stinky mouth and his stinky socks.
But if this can bring the championship, everyone is willing.
...
At the beginning of the third quarter, the two sides returned to the field.
In the first half, Li Liang played an ordinary, normal performance, 2 of 3 3-pointers, scored 10 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds.
The Clippers scored the most with Blake Griffin. After the Lakers lost Li Liang, Griffin played quite aggressively.
With 17 points in the half, only three rebounds were grabbed. They were all snatched by Li Liang and Jordan.
In the first attack in the third quarter, Nash high and Nick Young made a pick-and-roll screen and scored a goal for Nick Young.
Nick Young missed the 3-pointer and missed.
Li Liang grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and passed the ball to Paul.
After Paul's confusional dribbling pass fake move, the score was given to Li Liang at 45 degrees on the left, and Li Liang received the ball again to make a shot.
This time Nick Yang rushed up, instead of taking off interference, but stopped the car and approached Li Liang.
During the halftime, Kobe and Mike Brown reminded Nick Young that he should not eat his fakes when defending Li Liang.
Just put it on your body to prevent it.
Replaced with Li Liang last season, it is indeed possible. Li Liang will generally choose to return the ball to his teammates, reorganize the offense, and then start running.
But this season, Li Liang is different. The improvement of [Basic Dribble] is not for nothing!
As soon as Nick Young posted it, Li Liang immediately received the ball, then dribble and stepped, and one speeded up over Nick Young!
Li Liang took the ball to the three-second zone. The Lakers are now defending. Once the outside line is passed, the middle is empty.
No one went to make up for the leaks, only Howard to make up for the defense.
As a result, Li Liang was on the edge of the three-second zone, facing Howard, who hit the front, and hit a close board jumper!
Li Liang still doesn't have enough confidence in his layup, but his jump shot is his unique skill.
Following Sam Jones practiced this long-lost board jumper, Li Liang used it when he was on the fast break, which was a surprise weapon.
Two 45 degrees in the ribs in the three-second zone, it was too comfortable to cast.
Mike Brown looked straight and scratched his head, and he said that Li Liang had trained the ball offense in the summer?
It doesn't make sense, I really didn't let him practice this time.
Then, the Lakers fell into a dumb state offensively.
Mike Brown wanted Howard to make a strong attack. As a result, Jordan had a good defense and Howard missed.
Griffin grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and delivered the ball to Li Liang again.
At the perimeter, Li Liang and Paul fell back and forth for two passes. Li Liang adjusted his footsteps and took a three-point shot with a 45-degree catch on the right!
Brown let Nick Young defend Li Liang is a disaster, he did not know how to defend the first two ends.
As a result, Li Liang scored another three-pointer and scored a goal in the third quarter to start a 5:0.
Later, when attacking, Nash was suddenly caught by Paul and Li Liang, passing errors.
Paul cut the ball and passed it to Li Liang. Li Liang controlled the ball quickly.
Ci Shiping hurriedly chased the confrontation on the side, but Li Liang's ball didn't fall. Instead, a loopback escaped Ci Shiping's steal and took a right-handed pick for the basket!
Ci Shiping was surprised, and said that the boy could bear it. In the face of confrontational defense, he could dribble the ball and make a layup!
Li Liang beat the Lakers a 7:0.
Now that the Lakers fans know, Bruce Lee has evolved again.
He was like a fast-growing monster, making progress all the time.
In just a few months, he actually developed a part of the possession of the offense.
It was really terrible.
At this point, the Lakers' offense was completely messed up.
Howard's low post attack still missed, Li Liang got the rebound and a long pass to the basket.
Griffin and Jordan Jr. missed consecutive layups. Nash got the ball again and wanted to return to the Clippers for a long pass.
As a result, Nash's passing path was seen by Li Liang, and Li Liang's middle road intercepted the pass!
Li Liang passed the ball to Paul again. Paul waited for the ball from outside and waited for Li Liang to keep up, then returned to Li Liang.
The two are the outsiders who fall into each other's hands. Li Liang gets the ball and can shoot directly.
Another 3-pointer!
Still vacant, then hit again!
Li Liang directly beat the Lakers with a 10:0.
Too bad for self-esteem, the Lakers defense collapsed from the beginning of the third quarter.
Because at halftime, Mike Brown's defensive focus is still on the inside, or the penetration of the Clippers and the offensive rebound.
Unexpectedly, when Li Liang broke out, the Lakers would be taken away.
Sure enough, the knife fell on him before he knew the pain. Last season, the Lakers used Li Liang to cut a lot of people. This time, they finally suffered a bit. It really hurts.
Although Mike Brown shouted a timeout, he still shook his head, because he really didn't know how to stop it.
Li Liang used his classic wave to suppress the Lakers, and the difference was pulled to nearly 20 points.
This is the difference between Li Liang and Paul.
No matter how good Paul is, his scoring ability is also very strong, but it is impossible for Li Liang to score continuously.
Basketball games are complicated, but sometimes they are simple. You can score.
Li Liang is stronger than Paul and can make the game easier.
At 20 points, without Kobe, the Lakers were basically sentenced to death.
With Kobe, the death penalty is executed immediately.
For the rest of the game, Li Liang fully demonstrated his training results in the summer.
Although there is no fancy and beautiful breakthrough, or gorgeous dribbling, these are some very simple but practical skills.
In the middle of the third quarter, the UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Clippers pulled the difference to 25 points.
But between the third and fourth quarters, the Lakers still made some waves.
Xavier Henry on their defender line suddenly broke out, and three 3-pointers from the outside line made the Lakers once see the hope of chasing points.
The Clippers' substitutes, as always, are still unsatisfactory, and they still need the main players to come up and repress the Lakers with one pass.
In the end, the Clippers in Stamps, a huge advantage of 125:103, 22 points, easily defeated the same city opponent Los Angeles Lakers, giving the Lakers a good start.
Li Liang scored 25 points in this game, sent 8 assists and 9 rebounds, almost triple-double.
However, Li Liang has no interest in triple-doubles. This system is biased against triple-doubles and won no rewards for triple-doubles, so Li Liang has no motivation.
With the achievements of various "first data" in the first season, Li Liang wants to achieve new achievements, he must play a more beautiful game.
