Chapter 415: ambition

?When Griffin came off, Li Liang naturally reached the 4th position, and Barnes returned to the more familiar 3rd position.
Crawford and Paul have double backcourts, one short and one thin, and the defense is certainly not good.
At this time, if the Clippers have Lakers fans on the scene, they will surely find that the Clippers' lineup on this field is not the Lakers last season?
A defensive power forward in the inside, Bruce Lee in the fourth position, and a small forward in the third position are not as good as the previous small forward.
To say that Paul is a loophole really slanders him, but the backcourt of him and Crawford is indeed prone to loopholes.
But for Li Liang, this kind of situation can't be more familiar, isn't it equivalent to Nash with Kobe?
Li Liang felt suddenly returned to the familiar Lakers defense system.
The main focus is on checking and filling gaps for two players on the outside. The inside will help the card position and grab rebounds in the backcourt.
Jordan's defensive progress this season is quite remarkable. His protection, interception and backcourt protection have reached the elite level.
At present, what he lacks is mainly experience. As Rivers further reuses Jordan, his ability will steadily improve.
After this set was taken out, the Clippers' game rhythm has stabilized and the defensive strength has not improved, but the formation is obviously more stable.
Before Griffin's point, the defensive end moved relatively slowly, which led to Ibaka's three consecutive consecutive rushes to catch the ball and dunk directly.
Now replaced by Li Liang and Ibaka match, Li Liang is not afraid of Ibaka.
In terms of strength, Li Liang is not as good as Ibaka, but Ibaka's offensive play is destined to be of no use to him.
In terms of flexibility and traverse speed, Li Liang surpassed Ibaka.
For Ibaka, who mainly eats cakes, there is always someone in front of him, and he cannot attack.
At the same time, Li Liang can also devote his energy to deal with Westbrook.
As for Durant, it will be given to Barnes. Anyway, Li Liangfang or Barnes Defense is not particularly different.
As long as it is not Westbrook defense, Durant scored mainly depends on his feel.
The two sides played all the way from 19:11 to 29:20, and the Clippers kept suppressing the Thunder.
Offensively, Li Liang started to replace Griffin and Paul in pick and rolls, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Li Liang's three-point threat is too great, he cuts, Thunder must follow, the result is that Paul easily wiped into the basket several times.
Once Paul enters the three-second zone, he is the shortest in the game, and he always has a way to get the ball into the rim.
Stopping a jump shot, hitting the ground pass, and faking a fax shot made Adams at a loss.
Adams had suffered a loss in the opening game, ate a bit and grew a lot of wisdom, and defending Griffin slowly found a trick.
As a result, Griffin went down and became a thief, a thief, and a thief.
When he thought about the smashing of his crotch in the opening, Adams still had a lingering fear.
Li Liang will not be able to face anyone the inside. Although he is not afraid of anyone, he just fought Cowens for more than two hours last night.
He is very good at attacking opportunities, has a wide running range, and makes three-pointers accurately.
If Adams accidentally switched to Li Liang, it was really dying. I don't know if he wanted to pass or throw or crotch.
In the first quarter, with the last 2 minutes left, the Clippers had rewritten the score to 31:22, still leading by 9 points.
At this time, the Clippers were blown a defensive foul, Rivers replaced, Griffin replaced Li Liang, Butler replaced Barnes.
Paul played for a while on the court, until the end of the first quarter.
The two sides played 35:27, and the Clippers led by 8 points.
In fact, the Thunder had two opportunities to reverse the situation in the first quarter.
One was the Clippers' offense three times in a row, and the Thunder were given a chance to fight back quickly.
The result was only grasped once, and no offensive climax was hit.
Once at the end of the first quarter, Westbrook made a layup after scoring a layup, taking advantage of the Clippers in the backcourt to be careless and stealing. Then he took the ball to the three-point line and shot and scored 5 points.
But Griffin had enough rest to eat Adams in the post and succeeded. Then Paul succeeded in stealing Westbrook and pressed for the final attack.
Crawford's outside jumper received a mid-range jumper and hit the first quarter.
The fans just felt that the Clippers played differently in the first quarter than usual, and the rotation and starting were different, but the specifics were different and they couldn't be said.
And Van Gundy saw the clue.
"After the Clippers changed the rotation, let Griffin take the second team and use Bruce Lee in the fourth and strongest midfield to command the team's defense. Barnes's task is not to defend the second Position, but proper assistance to the inside, his height and wingspan can interfere with his opponent. And Bruce Lee has contained Ibaka well, he has two imperative goals that were destroyed by Bruce. Bruce is still very good Good at scoring the ball with Paul and Crawford and putting pressure on the ball. Westbrook made three turnovers in the first quarter, both related to Bruce Lee..."
Van Gundy made an analysis, he thought that the Clippers did take a good move.
Mike Brown copied the experience of using Li Liang in the Lakers to the Clippers, and made fine-tuning and improvements.
Van Gundy only analyzed the defensive end. In fact, Mike Brown's adjustment will be more reflected on the offensive end.
It's just that in the current game, many things can't be shown.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Collison threw a shot, but Crawford immediately hit a three-pointer from the outside to return.
The second lineup of both sides began to saw on the field.
At this time, Griffin played with the second team on the field, there is Griffin, the second team has at least an offensive backbone, no longer Crawford's one-man show.
In terms of strength, the Thunder's second lineup is no match for the Clippers.
Tarbit, Reggie Jackson, Lamb, Collison add a Perry Jones.
The Clippers are led by Crawford and Griffin, center forward Hollins, point guard Darren Collison, small forward Butler.
This lineup does not work well, but what kind of defense does the second lineup need to be able to fight offense?
Griffin beat Collison is still relatively big.
Thunder could not catch up with the points, but the points difference was being pulled apart.
Brusk is in a hurry. Mom's Clippers cheat, let the starter take the hit?
Brooks thinks too, but Durant and others must rest well. At this time, Brusk misses Harden more and more.
If there is a beard, why is it so hard to use people?
In comparison, the original Clippers of the second lineup were somewhat unsightly. After adjusting the rotation, it seemed that they became rich all of a sudden.
You know, there is a Bledsoe lying on their injury list. This commando is better than Darren Collison.
In the early part of the second quarter, the Clippers stabilized the situation on the court, Griffin squandered the extra energy in the first quarter rest in the second quarter.
He tightly controlled the rebounds and attacked Tabbit inside-this year's No. 2 pick.
As the so-called No. 1 champion must have water, Griffin is going to hit this champion, can't you count on Tabit water?
However, the Clippers did not further widen the difference, the Thunder quickly stabilized their positions, Reggie Jackson seriously organized the team offensive.
Although the Thunder's backup players are not strong, they play quite well on the court.
As in the first quarter, their empty cut, played very well through the back door, constantly playing behind the Clippers under the basket.
The weakness of Griffin and Hollins' defense is too slow, and the Thunder, in addition to Perkins who keeps playing, unanimously requires "fast, tall, and long arm length" in the selection of front and inside.
Regardless of the technique, it's always wrong to be physically fit to play.
The two sides hit 47:40, and the Thunder only trailed the Clippers by 7 points.
There was no spark on both sides, or it was brewing.
The game enters an official timeout, and the main players of both parties will play again.
Li Liang was sitting on the bench ~EbookFREE.me~ Mike Brown was wearing a suit and was talking to Li Liang endlessly.
"Expand your horizons. In the middle road, more activities in the middle road. The bottom corner is not your destination. You have to be more in the middle road..."
Mike Brown kept emphasizing the middle, because when the Lakers were, Li Liang would ambush on both wings most of the time.
When it came to the Clippers, Brown thought that Li Liang should make more fuss in the middle, and he played well with Paul's pick-and-roll in the first quarter.
Li Liang was annoyed and said, "Are you the head coach or Doug? Is the head coach doing it for you?"
Brown no longer speaks, just nods, "OK, OK, you can play better."
Brown said this, Li Liang remembered what Ramsay said in the mission. Brown probably hopes to become the greatest player, right?
At least greater than James.
