Chapter 321: Shadowless feet

After the Nets struggled to win the Nets, the Clippers ushered in a four-game winning streak.
Mike Brown's lineup adjustments and changes have worked, but the game with the Nets proves that if you don't have the attitude and concentration to defend this kind of thing, everything else is in vain.
By November 18th, the Clippers had a hard bone at home, the Memphis Grizzlies.
In the overall trend of the league's relatively fast and outside line, the Grizzlies are the team that goes against the trend.
They are the main inside, the main defense, the three-pointer ranked last in the league last season.
Of course, the Grizzlies don't want to make three-pointers so badly.
If they maintain their current defensive level, the three-pointer can still be improved, and the overall strength will definitely be improved by another grade.
So in the summer, the Grizzlies signed Mike Miller in the free market to strengthen the team's three-point ability.
If Miller can integrate into the Grizzlies, it will be a great help for the Grizzlies.
But from the Grizzlies record after the start of the season, Mike Miller can make a three-pointer, but it did not have a decisive impact.
The Grizzlies have fewer three-pointers and a lower shooting percentage. In fact, it's not a player's ability problem, but more because of the tactical style.
Their grinding position, slow rhythm, emphasis on the team style of confrontation, it is strange that the three-point can be more accurate.
The shooting of the players is to feel and rhythm. On the defensive end, they fight hard. On the offensive end, they are slow. The shooting rate will definitely decline.
However, this is the grizzly style, the old-school sense of the 90s.
To be honest, the Grizzlies also sent an offer to Li Liang during the offseason.
If the Grizzlies can get Li Liang, then they really want to take off.
Unfortunately, Li Liang is in the Clippers, and there is a lot of grudge between the Clippers and the Grizzlies.
Whether it is the playoffs or the regular season, as long as the two teams meet, the inside double bears VS Twin Towers are always the most compelling topic.
The Clippers' double inside is young, full of talent, can run and jump, can fly and buckle, and is very sucking. It belongs to idolism.
The two inside of the Grizzlies are floor flow, a big white bear, a bear, fat and strong, obviously belong to the faction.
When the idol party is in the power group, the power group often dominates.
In previous seasons, Griffin and Jordan were choked by the double bears.
But this season seems a bit different.
Griffin's offensive level has improved significantly this season.
If Li Liang was not too dazzling, Griffin should be the current darling of Los Angeles.
Even so, Griffin can output steadily in the game.
After being asked by the coach to take the second team, Griffin's ability to attack the core was highlighted, and he successfully completed the offensive task.
As for defense... that's it, there is no one perfect.
Griffin has no complaints about this role change.
He always wanted to complain, but he couldn't beat Li Liang, scolding... Forget it, Paul couldn't scold him, so don't think about it.
And Li Liang is really very focused and competitive on the court.
Originally, a Paul was already good enough, and with the addition of Li Liang, even Griffin became more and more infected.
Before the Grizzlies game started, Li Liang and Griffin insisted in the locker room, "Fuck Randolph!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm covering you in the back and kill him!"
"Landov is nothing terrible, you just have to do it like this, like that, he will have no way to take you."
Griffin was dazed, he thought it was just playing, why did Randolph die?
Besides, what can Randolph do? Should you go?
Last season when Li Liang was in the Lakers, he played against Randolph.
This black fat man, the inside technology is indeed first-class, and the body is strong and fat, under the basket is an iron scale.
Prior to the Clippers and Grizzlies game, defending Randolph was Jordan.
As a result, Jordan was tall and tall, but was beaten by Randolph with excellent footwork and delicate touch.
In this game, Rivers bluntly prepared before the game and asked Griffin to play against Randolph.
This is a confrontation between two power forwards and a dialogue of power between insiders.
But before going out, Rivers pulled Li Liang aside and said, "Can you get Randolph?"
Rivers is doing double insurance, because Griffin is going to rest in the middle of the game. If Li Liang does not want to play against Randolph, then Rivers will consider changing to an inside court.
Li Liang glanced at Rivers. Do you believe my strength?
Laozi Tim Duncan, Weber, Cowens, Wharton and others have done it. Will I be afraid of a black fat man?
"If I can't get Randolph, I'll go get EJ-Johnson."
Rivers nodded in satisfaction, Li Liang was very confident in himself, and Rivers was also very confident in the power of EJ.
The players played and Rivers sat back on the bench.
Brown and Rivers said: "Bruce can certainly deal with Randolph."
Rivers nodded. "I know, I'll stimulate him."
Rivers will not only irrigate chicken soup, but will also act aggressively. In appeasing and inspiring players, Rivers is better than Brown.
For Randolph, Rivers will indeed worry that he is the core of the Grizzlies' offensive.
As long as Randolph plays poorly, it is difficult for the Grizzlies to win.
...
Rivers' concerns are not without reason.
Randolph, the magical fat man, is truly astonishing at what he can achieve today.
Before coming to the Grizzlies, he was a problem player.
From a member of (Portland Jail Trail Blazers) to the death of the Knicks, the news related to Randolph is always negative.
In the team, let the young players pass him the ball, scolding without passing the ball, absent from training in New York, being late, being overweight, falsely claiming to attend the funeral and going to the bar.
In the end he left New York and went to the Grizzlies, one of the youngest and least historical teams in the NBA.
As a result, he was reborn in Memphis.
This has to be said to be a miracle of life.
His negative news has disappeared, working diligently on the court, sticking to the league's low post inside play.
Under his leadership, the Grizzlies have become one of the toughest teams in the West.
At the beginning of this game, neither the Clippers nor the Grizzlies felt good about the offense.
For two full minutes, neither side scored.
Randolph was the first to break the deadlock.
He received the ball at 45 degrees on the right and faced Griffin in the basket. After a tentative step, he suddenly shot a mid-range jumper.
Two hits.
Although Randolph looks big and thick, he has an extremely delicate feel.
The shot is very smooth, the arc is also very high, and scored two points, very stable.
Then, Li Liang missed a three-pointer from outside and the Grizzlies counterattacked.
The Grizzlies' counterattack was really a tractor. The fast break could hardly be played, and finally fell into position.
Randolph asked for the ball in the low post and Gasol Jr. in the high pass to Randolph.
Randolph turned around and kicked Griffin up with his ass. The layup was successful and caused a defensive foul.
The penalty was hit and the Grizzlies led the Clippers 5:0.
Li Liang approached Griffin and said, "Are you okay? Can't I defend?"
Rivers stimulated Li Liang, and Li Liang came to stimulate Griffin.
Griffin didn't speak, turned around and received Li Liang's high pass from the offensive end. A turn turned Randolph to the rim and the left hand layup succeeded!
The referee sounded the whistle, which also caused a foul by Randolph.
Griffin returned Randolph and made a free throw on the free throw line.
Half of the first quarter, the two sides scored only 10:6, the Grizzlies led the Clippers by 4 points.
The Grizzlies' defense is indeed different from other teams. The rotation speed is very fast, the players hardly lose their position, and the retreat is extremely fast. It does not give the Clippers any chance to fight back quickly.
Quick counterattack is a lifeline of the Clippers' offense. Without quick counterattack, their offensive firepower will drop a lot.
Li Liang has not scored.
His opponent, Taeshaun Prince, and Tony Allen, who came to the defense.
Prince + Allen teamed up against Li Liang, this is really the most defensive treatment the Grizzlies can give.
Li Liang has almost no mobile phone meetings, there are two people near the ball.
There is no open three-pointer, Prince prefers to see Paul straight to the inside, will not let go of Li Liang to help defense.
Especially when Li Liang sank into the corner, Prince would never relax.
This former veteran of the Pistons, a champion for the Pistons in 2004, has a super long arm span and excellent defensive awareness.
Although it is older, it still plays an important role in the Grizzlies defense system.
For a time, Li Haoxiang was really "defended" by him.
But Griffin came off, Li Liang came to the fourth position, everything was a bit different.
The Clippers actually turned into an offensive big one and four small, and the defensive end was still a normal lineup.
This is exactly the terrible thing about two and three.
The defensive end is normal and the offensive end is flexible. What should you do with your opponent?
Li Liang first made a high-level pick-and-roll and then passed a ground pass to the inside to give Jordan a dunk.
Then defending Randolph one by one on the defensive end, came to withdraw the stool, causing Randolph to walk!
Randolph scolded in his mouth after walking, this opponent was too rape.
Wasn't Griffin good just now, changed this one to defend.
Li Liang's low post defense is not a top class, but that is relative to the best low post defense players in history.
He has fought a lot of insiders in various missions anyway, and he is quite experienced. How could he be afraid of Randolph.
Now, low offense and defense are about to turn into the technique of killing dragons, but Li Liang has mastered it quite well.
Mike Brown doesn't know, how did this guy Li Liang learn, and did I let him practice?
Estimated yes.
However, Li Liang's offensive was still contained. His three-point touch didn't open today, and he still used the pass and defense to influence the game.
The two sides played very entangled in the first quarter ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and in the seventh minute of the game, the Clippers are still three points behind the Grizzlies.
Paul stood up and started to take the ball by himself. He used the cover to kill the inside, and then passed a fake pass to Li Liang.
Tony Allen, assisted by the defense, was tricked by Paul's realistic fakes and rushed to Li Liang.
As a result, Paul went straight to kill, and Tony Allen gave Paul a subconsciously raised leg!
This kick was hard enough, but fortunately Paul was wearing braces, otherwise he might kick his teeth.
Tony Allen paid the price for his shadowless foot comeback, and was directly sent off for a second-level malicious foul.
The Grizzlies lack a very important defensive point on the outside and they are in trouble.
When Li Liang sees Teacher Tony off, the team's offense should be better.
