Chapter 513: Halftime record

Paul felt his teammates had changed.
The Grizzlies and Spurs in the front were all crushed at the opening, and the first quarter was dug.
Behind the Clippers, the fast-paced attack could not be played, the defense could not completely contain the opponent, Li Liang's stormy three-pointer did not appear, and finally played GG.
Why did you just hint at Li Liang as the core today, one by one, with all your dexterity and good coordination, so that you could fight such a beautiful quick counterattack?
Is it an actor? Are they all aimed at me?
Paul didn't want to talk anymore and continued to invest in the game.
Soon, the Thunder made another mistake.
Westbrook hesitated when passing the ball to Durant and was snatched by Li Liang from behind.
The Clippers counterattacked again, this time giving the ball to Paul.
Paul dribbled quickly past halftime, then dribble to Griffin who cut into the basket.
Griffin layup caused Adams foul and hit the free throw line.
Griffin and Paul high-five, a good cooperation, but did not form a final score, still rely on free throws.
In fact, from this ball, Paul was a little aware of the difference between him and Li Liang in organization.
First of all, Paul pushed a quick counterattack without Li Liangkui.
When Li Liang took the ball and pushed back in the backcourt, the speed of the ball was almost instantaneous, and he had few dribbles.
If he dribbles a lot, he is basically one-stop.
Paul is relatively slow to deliver the ball. Unless there is a particularly good opportunity ahead, Paul will directly use the beautiful long pass to directly attack.
On the one hand, Paul has a natural disadvantage in height and vision.
On the other hand, Paul is still stable in ball control, and error control is very good.
For example, during Li Liang's lead, the number of turnovers has skyrocketed. There are a few losses that have to be said to be directly related to Li Liang's turnovers.
But Li Liang's extensive organization did inject great vitality into the Clippers.
The difference between the two is like a Toyota that is stable and does not fail, and a muscle Dodge that will always be bad on the road, but will quickly move once the accelerator is stepped on.
For the Clippers, perhaps they really need a wild sailing captain, not a smooth canal helmsman.
But to be honest, Paul didn't know how Li Liang's organizational style came about.
Because Li Liang is very, very stable in his offensive technique and style.
His playing is not fancy at all, his basic skills are solid, the offensive means is relatively simple but efficient, is synonymous with the league's "efficiency", and even surpassed James.
How to organize an attack, just like playing?
This is what Paul didn't understand, because Li Liang was just playing!
On the level of organization, in addition to learning related basic skills with coaches and players such as Fraser and John Wooden, Li Liang's overall organizational ability is at a medium level in the league.
To put it bluntly, the top of the arc serves online, passes a pass, and it is a good high pass. Then because of the improvement of the ball control ability, it will now push the fast attack.
The way he pushes fast breaks is very simple. He never looks at the opponent's retreat formation and his own formation. He has set rules for himself. He must pass the ball within two seconds.
If you can't pass it within two seconds, then don't pass it and fight by yourself.
This kind of extensive push and counterattack forced the Clippers to use their brains to think about what to do next after receiving the ball.
In fact, the Clippers have this ability.
Griffin Needless to say, substitute Odom, as well as Collison and Livingston, have a strong ability to organize offense.
It's just that when Paul is here, everyone positions himself as a "chess piece." After all, Paul is really capable of playing chess. When organizing an offensive, he likes various commanders and roars. You have to listen to him.
And Li Liang never roared when he organized, he didn't know how to fight later, he commanded a fart, he only roared while defending.
That's why it appears that playing with Paul, everyone is a little indifferent, not sensitive.
Switching to Li Liang organization, the teammates are forced to find ways to solve the problem themselves.
Moreover, Li Liang and Kidd are different. Kidd's offensive is basically four and five. Li Liang stands on the field, maybe you can make four or three, can this not stimulate the potential?
In the first quarter, the Clippers played a wonderful attack.
After Griffin made a free throw, the Thunder called a timeout. After the return, the Thunder attack warmed up, but it could not stop the fast counterattack of the Clippers.
Losing two games in a row, everyone held their breath.
The Clippers were 40:32 in the first quarter, leading the Thunder by 8 points.
40 points per quarter, which shows how powerful the Clippers are.
In the second quarter, the scene became more exaggerated.
In the second quarter, the first goal was made. Crawford took the ball with a 45-degree mid-range right to take the shot.
This is not a good sign for the Thunder, the Clippers seem to have a full burst.
Subsequently, the two sides played a few rounds of iron, Crawford once again seized the opportunity, the top of the arc jumper shot, and then hit.
Crawford acted as the team's microwave oven today, and can immediately contribute to the bench. No tactics are required.
On the Thunder side, Reggie Jackson also used color. He first hit a mid-range jumper, combined with a beautiful ground pass to assist Collison, and scored with a two-handed dunk.
There was another problem with the Clippers' defensive communication. There was no one in the three-second zone, and he watched Collison slam dunk.
But the Clippers' offense really went well.
After Livingston and Griffin pick and roll, a high pass, Griffin cut the layup, the air relay layup succeeded.
The creativity of the Clippers' offensive end seems to have been inspired.
Then the Thunder made another pass error and Crawford hit a mid-range jumper for the third time after a high pick-and-roll!
Three consecutive goals!
Crawford stunned the Thunder and Paul stunned.
Why did you get all kinds of iron when the first two games returned? Pass you all kinds of failures?
No way, this kind of nerve knife of Crawford, quasi-one iron two games, quasi-two iron three games, this time just returned, it is unstoppable.
Crawford scored three consecutive goals, the Thunder had to request a timeout.
But after the suspension came back, the Thunder did not stop the Clippers second team's extraordinary play on the offensive end.
After the aircraft carrier accelerated fully, there was nothing to stop.
After returning from the timeout, Crawford was smart enough to pass him to Griffin after the Thunder caught him. Griffin beat Adams with a basket.
The Clippers came off the bench with a 12:5 offensive climax, pulling the points further apart.
Brooks had to make Durant and Westbrook debut because they wouldn't make it anymore, and it would be hard to play if the points were pulled further apart.
As a result, Li Liang and Paul also re-launched, and the Clippers started their more aggressive offense.
As soon as Durant came on the court, he used his unprecedented long legs to cross the layup and took advantage of the time difference to get rid of Li Liang, then his right hand easily made a layup.
However, the Clippers made a quick free throw, Li Liang dribble himself, dribble the ball from the left side of the half, and then directly under the basket.
Li Liang is not fast, but he plays suddenly under the basket, and the Thunder defenders are not prepared.
As a result, Li Liang entered the three-second zone, a signboard hit a jumper and hit a jumper, and Durant returned two points.
Pass the ball to Paul? Fight position battle? Arc top licensing?
If it doesn't exist, take the ball and rush in, and it's over.
The Thunder and Brooks didn't expect Li Liang and the Clippers to play like this before the game.
But Clippers and Li Liang are fighting in your unknown field, and playing is that your foothold is not stable.
Subsequently, Durant empty-cut the ball and caused Jordan to foul and hit the free throw line.
After making two free throws, Li Liang turned back and took Paul's pass from the outside. The double screener directly hit a long three-pointer.
This is a common trick for the Clippers, but Li Liang is really not soft at all.
Brooks watched the Clippers attack a little overwhelmingly and began to use damage.
This is also the trick that Popovich just used, hacking Jordan!
Can't you vote?
Don't give you a chance to vote.
Give the opportunity directly to your worst shooting player.
After Westbrook assisted Ibaka, after the layup, the Thunder immediately fouled Jordan Jr. and sent him to the free throw line.
Rivers on the sidelines saw this behavior speechless.
This TM is only the second quarter! Foul tactics started in the second quarter?
Are you coaches still human?
But think about it, did you think you were an individual when you played a penalty shootout?
Thunder fouled Jordan for two consecutive rounds and sent him to the free throw line.
Jordan Jr. made 1 of 4 free throws, and the Thunder succeeded in two offenses.
It can be said that this trick is effective.
But Brooks did not use this move to bring the three points closer, but hoped to contain the Clippers' offensive momentum.
Unfortunately, Brooks' goal was not achieved.
Because at this time, Paul chose the foul very wisely.
He used a shooting fake to cause Westbrook to foul, allowing himself to make the free throw line.
Westbrook, you are also a sloppy squad. What happened to Paul in this state? Do you think he can throw in?
You have to jump up and block, and you get a foul.
Paul happened to take the opportunity of free throws to find himself a shot.
Immediately afterwards, Westbrook made a mistake on offense, jumped back after the breakthrough, made a mistake, and was intercepted by Barnes.
Li Liang rushed to the court like a wind, Barnes immediately passed the ball to Li Liang.
Li Liang completed the whole process of catching, stopping, preparing, and then making a three-point shot with a set of extremely smooth movements!
Quick three-pointer hit counterattack!
The Clippers' offense completely went crazy.
Brooks had to call another timeout.
After that, the Clippers' offense eased slightly.
But throughout the second quarter, the Clippers scored higher than 40 points in the first quarter, they scored an amazing 45 points in a single quarter!
This is already the score of some Eastern teams in the half game.
The Clippers scored a staggering 85 points in the first half, leading the Thunder by 17 points with 85:68.
The Thunder can play both ends of the game tonight~EbookFREE.me~ I didn't expect the Clippers to be an explosive type. The team made 7 of 11 field three-pointers. Li Liang and Crawford scored two each.
Brooks still tried to use foul tactics to interfere with the Clippers' offensive rhythm in the last four minutes of the second quarter.
The result was totally useless. Li Liang immediately used the air relay with Jordan to break the Thunder defensive blockade.
86 points in the first half also set the team's first half scoring record this season.
Of course, this score is high, but it is still far from the historical record.
When the Suns played against the Nuggets in 1990, the Suns had 50 points in the first quarter, 57 points in the second quarter, and 107 points in the first half, the only one-half percentage in history.
However, at the end of the first half of the game, Li Liang still received a systematic reward.
[Congratulations on your achievement: 80 points for the team at halftime, and a reward: one rune for team morale. 】
Another morale rune was thus obtained.
