Chapter 517: I will take a look

After Paul's 12 of 0 accidental defeat to the Pelicans, the Clippers lost 10 games.
In the end there are 10 games left, and there have been some controversies regarding the rotation of players in the Clippers.
Rivers, as the head coach, hopes that the team can hit 70 wins. After all, only the Bulls in 1996 have achieved 70 wins in NBA history. This is undoubtedly a very great result.
Assistant coaches Mike Brown, Tyronn Lu, and others hope to expand the rotation, and some games will be put aside to prepare for the playoffs.
Mike Brown suffered a loss from the regular season. He had 66 wins in the Cavaliers in a single season that year, and the playoffs were killed by the Magic.
Last season in the regular season, the Lakers also won 62, and finally depends on the playoffs.
The Clippers are still suffering from some injuries, especially their vulnerable bench.
Livingston and Granger were both seriously injured. Odom and Crawford are veterans. Barnes and Paul are also vulnerable to minor injuries.
Of course, Li Liang, Griffin and Little Jordan are healthy.
Griffin has been drinking a lot of water from battering injury pills and has been jumping around every day, feeling good.
Little Jordan is that God gave him less brains and more physical talent. He is also very healthy and strong, and there are few minor problems.
Needless to say, Li Liang, every training and competition is fully equipped like an old man who has played for 20 years, so he doesn't let himself have a little risk of injury.
Therefore, there is some controversy within the coaching staff.
After the Pelicans played on the 26th, the Clippers flew to Dallas that night and they had to play back to back.
This is the fourth time the Clippers have played away back-to-back this season, which is really a torment for players.
On the plane, the players put on quilts and put on blindfolds, seizing the time to sleep.
The plane arrived at Dallas Airport early in the morning, and everyone yawned out of the plane and rushed to the hotel by bus.
On the way, Mike Brown told Rivers: "I think the players should still be taken a good rest. If injuries occur at this time, it is really not worth the loss."
Brown suggested that Rivers let the main players take a break, especially Paul, and his condition is not very stable after the injury comes back.
The last game was 12 in 0. If the team needs to compete for rankings, of course Paul will play.
Now that they are locked in the first place in the West, there is no need for Paul to fight again.
Rivers hesitated, he didn't understand the importance of health, he still has his own considerations as a head coach.
The honor of winning the regular season is one aspect, there is a problem that he is afraid of hurting Paul's self-esteem.
Since taking Paul from the core position by default and making Li Liang the absolute core, Rivers has been worried that Paul will be frustrated.
This is a very proud small player, strong in heart and stubborn personality.
As a former NBA player, Rivers understands Paul very well and understands that Paul's possible emotions should be handled well.
Paul played Pelicans 12 of 0. He will definitely want to prove himself in the next game. If he is not allowed to play, even if he wants to protect him, he will inevitably make him think.
Rivers thought about it carefully and decided to ask the player's own wishes.
So, when the team was training in the training hall the next morning, Rivers approached Paul and asked him how he was in his physical condition and how he felt. He needed no rest.
Of course Paul does not want to take a break. He is very smart and says: "Coach, you don't want me to take a break? I don't need it, I don't need it at all. I can play, and I will perform well in the next game."
Paul is very confident that after a terrible play, he believes he can bottom out.
The conversation between the two happened to be heard by Li Liang on the side.
Li Liang heard that the two were discussing whether to play the next game. He had learned from Mike Brown that the team was considering whether to take a break to save their strength.
Li Liang stepped forward and said, "Lao Li, let Paul's rest for the next game. His arm should take a good rest. Look at what happened in the last game? 12 in 0! It's my life The data that can't be played, let him rest! We want to win!"
Rivers is speechless. Is this a human language?
Li Liang's voice was loud again, and everyone in the team heard it and amused everyone.
Paul couldn't hold his face, and took the ball in his hand and threw it at Li Liang.
Li Liang escaped very sensitively and bluntly said to Paul, "You are angry and angry, you rest more!"
Paul's furious and helpless, who can't make himself inferior?
He remembered the situation when he left with Li Liang after the training that day, his defense...
Paul was surprised to find that Li Liang is probably hiding his strength until now.
The defensive ability he showed during heads-up was definitely unprecedented in the game.
The intensity, the speed of reaction, and the "golden glitter" momentum-Paul didn't know why he had this impression.
Anyway, Paul suddenly felt that Li Liang was a terrible player. He was still hiding himself. How deep is the water?
In fact, Li Liang hides a hair, every game is to go all out.
Last time, I singled out a golden shield one-on-one with Paul, which made him distressed and consumed a lot of anger!
So what hidden power is purely Paul's thinking.
After some discussion and consultation with the players, Rivers decided that Paul would still make his debut in the next game. At the same time, he would appropriately increase the playing time of bench players, expand the rotation, and give the main players a better rest.
That night, the Clippers challenged the Dallas Lone Ranger away.
The Lone Ranger is currently ranked eighth in the West, and the two teams are likely to meet in the first round of the playoffs.
Therefore, in this game, the Clippers encountered a powerful blocker in Dallas.
The match between the two sides started on time at 7pm.
Lone Ranger currently has a complete lineup and is in good condition.
At the beginning of the game, Nowitzki made a jumper and scored the first point.
Paul immediately responded, and the top of the arc hit a three-pointer with Li Liang's defense.
Then, Paul succeeded in stealing on the defensive end and succeeded in a one-stop layup!
It can be seen that Paul is full of fighting spirit today, just to prove himself.
Then, Nowitzki again hit a jumper on the offensive end.
Nuo Tianwang's feel is amazing when the opening performance is good.
Li Liang returned the color after three points, and it felt good to start on both sides.
Because the Clippers didn't open Nowitzki in the opening, Griffin made a one-on-one defense, and Nowitzki made a third jumper.
Then he passed the layup and caused Griffin to foul and hit the free throw line.
The opening was to grind Griffin.
No way, the gap in height and arm span is too big.
All power forwards, Griffin claims to have 2 meters 08, but in fact he should only look like 205.
And Nowitzki is definitely 2 meters 10 up, reaching 213 or even 214, too high Griffin.
In the opening five minutes, Nowitzki scored 10 points.
During the timeout, Rivers replaced Griffin, allowing Li Liang to face Novisky at the power forward position.
The two sides played extremely anxious in the first quarter. After changing to Li Liang's defense, Nowitzki's pressure increased and Li Liang began to catch the ball around the front defense Nowitzki.
However, the Lone Ranger started to force, Carter and Barria hit three points.
And Paul really felt great tonight, and once again succeeded in steals, Carter was fouled in a fast break and made two free throws.
Paul made two free throws, and then passed the assist to assist Li Liang with a 45-point three-pointer and the Clippers took the lead.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides sent in a substitute, Granger came on stage, and received a pass from Livingston for a layup.
The two sides scored 30:29 in the first quarter, and the Clippers led the Lone Ranger by 1 point.
In the second quarter, the confrontation between the two sides was still fierce, and the score alternately rose and led.
Although Li Liang and Paul kept scoring on the Clippers side, the Lone Ranger struggling to enter the playoffs is fighting, the team is in very good condition.
Carter hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Nowitzki is an old tree blossoming. The back jumper is very accurate, and Li Liang can't take him.
Rivers wanted to take a break. This game requires a break. I'm afraid it's not about losing.
The Clippers in the first half 63:58, leading 5 points into the intermission.
In the third quarter, the fierce confrontation finally resulted in a conflict between the two sides.
Because they are potential opponents in the playoffs, the solo player is very confrontational.
Paul's condition is very good, so the Lone Ranger will occasionally allow Marion to mark Paul.
Paul, a small player who wants to survive on the court, inevitably needs a little action.
As a result, Paul pushed Marion a hand when receiving a serve.
And Paul pushed it, and Barnes on the side had to come up to make a push, pushing Marion to the bottom line.
This annoyed Marion and rushed forward to have a theory with Marion.
The conflict between the two sides was on the verge, and the players rushed up.
The referee hurried over to save the scene. At this time, Li Liang was squatting at the bottom corner to pull the space. Once he saw that, could he rush up?
The result has not rushed up, one of the three on-duty referees has come to stop Li Liang, separating him from the conflict.
"Let's see, I'll go and see." Li Liang was anxious to blend in, but the referee stared at him long ago, just not let him pass.
"I'm going to see what happened? You let me see..."
Li Liang wanted to join in the excitement, but the referee knew that he could not let Li Liang pass in such a situation.
He has a mouthful of words, absolutely nothing becomes something, small things become big things.
Therefore, the players on both sides had a small conflict on the side of the court. Some people were arguing and others were persuading, and the referee was whistling to calm down the situation.
On the other side of the court, a special referee hugged Li Liang's thigh to prevent him from passing, dragging him to prevent the stick from messing up.
The referee said that he did not let Li Liang blend in.
Then Barnes and Marion were given a technical foul, and after watching the video, Paul was given a technical foul.
Li Liang felt very sorry, did not participate in the two sentences, or at least one or two fines.
After this episode, the Clippers seemed to suddenly find the game.
Li Liang made three consecutive 3-pointers on the perimeter. In fact, he used props.
This guy is very thieves ~EbookFREE.me~ After taking advantage of the conflict, the mentality of the two parties is slightly relaxed, because after the conflict, both sides have some state of departure, the confrontation is not so fierce.
Three consecutive three-pointers to pull the difference between the two sides to more than 10 points.
The Lone Ranger then launched a counterattack in the fourth quarter, once narrowing the point difference to 5 points. As a result, Paul's stable mid-range jumper suppressed the Lone Ranger's momentum to counterattack.
In the end, the Lone Ranger used foul tactics and sent Jordan to the free throw line.
As a result, Jordan was very contented, and made 3 of 4 free throws, but the Lone Ranger failed to attack and lost the opportunity to make a comeback.
In the end, the Clippers defeated the Lone Ranger with a 7-point advantage at 115:108 away, expanding the number of wins to 63 games, continuing to create the best record in the team's history.
Li Liang and Paul scored 30 points, 28 points and 58 points!
Paul is recovering, but he still cannot beat Li Liang in scoring.
Li Liang took another solid step on the road to MVP.
