Chapter 316: Pulling seedlings

The official suspension ends and the two sides return to the stadium.
Brown sat on the bench, sat beside Terenluo, and then Rivers and Gentry.
The Clippers coaching team is really luxurious, but the more luxurious the coaching team, the better the team performance, which is the same as the formation of the team.
At present, several well-qualified assistant coaches get along well.
Mike Brown was downgraded from head coach to assistant coach, and not the first assistant coach, he did not complain.
Because his current mind is not in money and status, not even in the Clippers, his mind is in Li Liang.
So just now he would let Li Liang "pay attention to the middle", this play is obviously the core player's play.
Brown felt a little drumming in his heart. Was he thinking that he was too eager for quick success? Will the seedlings help?
A player transitions from an auxiliary role player to a core player. The short one needs one season of training, and the long one may require two to three seasons of growth.
And Li Liang...a summer?
However, in the team's training yesterday, as well as in the video of the game I watched and analyzed, Brown found that Li Liang had mastered the offensive skills of holding the ball, and his passing ability had improved again.
This kid has a strong learning ability. Today he played Thunder. Let him try to attack more in the middle. Maybe it has a magic effect?
Rivers didn't know that Mike Brown, apart from developing a defensive system for the Clippers, was more focused on cultivating Li Liang's personal ability.
But there is no contradiction between the two, or seemingly contradictory, but in fact not.
Rivers and the Clippers have never regarded Li Liang as a rookie.
Instead, he was regarded as a strong aid to help the otherwise good Clippers go further.
Moreover, Rivers didn't like to train rookies. If he wanted to train rookies, he might as well stay with the Celtics.
Li Liang's discussion of strength is indeed beyond the scope of general rookies. The honor of FMVP is regarded by many people as a finished product.
While Anthony Davis and the last rookie were still in the "growing troubles", for Li Liang, many people were already discussing whether he had the chance to get the MVP this season.
But Brown knew that Li Liang was actually a rough.
There are too many places on him to polish and sculpt.
Apart from Brown, the person who knows this best is of course Li Liang himself.
Li Liang knows that I am still a kid on the road to superstar growth!
In the first offense back from the official suspension, the child broke the basket with the ball in the middle, hitting an emergency stop jumper and scoring two points.
He didn't hit the board, but he shot a hollow ball.
Li Liang was inspired by Bob McAdoo. This short-range jumper, combined with a three-pointer, is really a threat.
Ibaka, the opponent of Li Liang, did not know how to defend.
Turning around, Durant immediately responded with a mid-range jumper.
Durant's jumper shot was more sudden, and almost ignored the interference, Li Liang can't reach this level yet.
But he also has something Durant doesn't have, that is better coping ability.
Li Liang's [Basic Passing] has reached 70 points, and with a good understanding of tactics, he started to organize the team's offense in the middle.
Li Liangyi organized the offense, and the Thunder defense was obviously a bit uncomfortable.
Crawford made a screen with Li Liang in the high position to cut into the basket, attracting the Thunder defense.
As a result, Barnes ran to the bottom corner and left the space. Li Liang passed the ball to Barnes.
Unfortunately Barnes missed a three-pointer from the corner and missed the opportunity.
The problem with Barnes on the starting line may also be here, his three-point firepower is obviously not strong enough.
But there is no perfect player, no perfect team, the main meaning of Barnes replacing Butler is still in his defense.
The Thunder continued to give Durant the ball on the offensive end, and the person who defended Durant became Barnes.
Barnes certainly couldn't resist Durant, but his tenacity and entanglement always caused Durant trouble.
Durant was forced to close to the sideline by Barnes, and Durant's dribbling route choices once had problems.
Ibaka came out to respond, Durant passed the ball to Ibaka, and then suddenly accelerated into the basket.
If the ball is a Butler defense, you may accidentally miss a half position, and Ibaka will pass the ball to Durant.
Durant received the ball under the basket, and the score was stable.
But Barnes kept up with the ball, causing Ibaka to hesitate and fail to pass, and finally returned to Westbrook.
Seeing that there was no time, Westbrook made a three-pointer from outside.
I don’t want to enter, don’t you want to enter.
Without Griffin and Butler, the Clippers' attack vigor is not so fierce, but their defense is more stable.
With a steady defense, it is equivalent to a stable rear of the army, so as to attack without fear!
Li Liang, who got the rebound in the backcourt, passed the ball to Paul. Paul quickly passed the half and scored the ball to the fast-moving little Jordan. Jordan received the ball with a one-handed dunk!
The Temples Center cheered, and the Clippers' quick, counterattack, won't be boring for a year.
Thunder’s response is simple, and it’s not necessarily effective.
The ball was passed twice on the perimeter, and Westbrook took advantage of Ibaka's cover to pull out of the three-pointer!
For the second consecutive three-pointer, Li Liang looked at it and knew that the ball was definitely not, obviously shorter.
Li Liang also wanted to rush to the rim and grab a rebound, but it turned out that this short was too much and would wipe the rim.
The ball bounced right into the hands of Adams under the basket.
Hi fell from the sky, Adams responded quickly, a layup succeeded.
"Damn, Westbrook doesn't follow the rules too much!"
Li Liang originally thought that the ball was short and should just rebound to a certain position, he could grab it.
How could it be so short, it was cheap to be picked up by Adams.
But the Thunder will not always have such a cheap to pick up.
Brooks quickly discovered the problems encountered by the Thunder on the offensive end, and their positional offense could not play tactical cooperation.
Although they don't have much tactical cooperation.
But in the regular season, if you expect Wang Chuang to play singles on the offensive end, the two will be exhausted.
The Thunder still have a lot of small cooperation to score points, such as Ibaka's mid-range jumper after high position and two bottom corners opened.
When Li Liang came to the fourth position, this method of scoring was almost abolished.
It's not that Li Liang is staring at Ibaka, but that there is a tacit understanding between Li Liang and Barnes.
If Li Liang goes to make up for Durant, Barnes will surely rotate to take care of Ibaka.
This kind of consciousness is not available in Butler, and Ibaka's way of scoring is doomed, someone will take care of him, his efficiency will drop.
It just so happened that he had an average feel tonight, and after a few shots, he stopped trying.
In this case, the Thunder made a more correct choice, is to fight hard to defend.
The Thunder started their "Balleting Dafa", using the height and wingspan of outside players, non-stop bundling and rotation, to oppress the ball holder.
Durant and Sefolosha teamed up with Li Liang, resulting in a pass error by Li Liang, Durant steals the fast break and succeeds.
At this time Paul stood up, first a very beautiful field assist Li Liang layup, and then defensively switched to Durant, using his solid chassis hard top Durant, causing Durant to miss the shot.
It's still good to be short, the chassis is low!
secure.
Although Li Liang then missed a three-pointer from outside, the Clippers led the way.
The Clippers have enough space and time to come and slowly consume the Thunder.
Durant began to gradually take over the Thunder's offense, but he also had no way.
The Clippers' defensive lineup is uncomfortable for everyone else.
There were 2 minutes and 36 seconds from the end of the first half. Durant caught the ball and turned and shot two points after running.
The score on the field came to 58:49, and the Thunder continued to fall behind by 9 points.
After coming over, Li Liang catches the ball in the high position. He is no longer a simple arc top response, but will organize the dribble.
He first passed the ball to Paul who came out to the right 45 degrees, and then suddenly accelerated and flashed down the middle of the road!
This cut-in approach is exactly the same as Durant.
Paul Ercong clearly saw Li Liang's operation through a straight inside.
But Li Liang got blind as soon as he got the ball. He cut sideways and caught the ball in the back of the basket. Then what?
What then? I will not turn over a jumper!
At the level of his turnaround jumper, he turned around and jumped up, Ibaka must be a big hat.
This rammed goods also learned Durant flashing empty-cut, after cutting, I do not know what to do.
At this moment, Li Liang did not choose to dribble out the dribble, which is not too shameful.
He learns Harden, raises his hand in a fake motion, and shakes Ibaka~EbookFREE.me~ and naturally hits Ibaka behind him.
The referee blew the whistle and blew Ibaka's defensive foul.
Li Liang learned both Durant and Harden's skills, but only half of them.
Deception foul depends on talent, and empty-handed position, Li Liang did not learn less from Bob Knight.
At the free throw line, with a steady two free throws, Rivers just replaced Griffin and played for the last two minutes.
The Clippers guarded the Thunder's counterattack in the last two minutes, and Griffin also dedicated a wonderful spinning top layup, passing the ball from Bruce Lee.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers 64:54, leading the Thunder by 10 points.
If you look at the shooting heat map, you will find that in the second quarter, none of Li Liang's goals came from the wing, but from the middle and the front.
Mike Brown sees it in his eyes, thinking, it might be really useful to promote seedlings.
