Chapter 529: Zang Feng

After playing 2:0 at home, the third game to Dallas is a crucial one.
The Clippers win, the series will have no suspense, the Clippers will lose, and the Lone Ranger will remain alive.
After playing the second game, Li Liang and his teammates boarded a plane to Dallas.
In several other venues, the Thunder defeated the Warriors 113:102 at home, and the score was pulled back to a city. The two sides played 1:1.
The Spurs continued to crush the Grizzlies, leading the score 2:0, not far from the sweep.
In the case of strength, the Spurs rarely roll over, not to mention the Grizzlies.
The Rockets faced the Blazers, and in the second game, they had been leading the game. In the last quarter, they were penetrated by the Blazers' sharp attack. They lost consecutive points in a short period of time and finally lost to the Blazers. 0: 2 Behind and fell into a very unfavorable situation.
Harden played a series worse than the regular season in the series, he was completely restricted by the Trail Blazers guard Matthews.
At the same time, no one on the Rockets side can limit the Trailblazer's power forward Aldridge. In the second game, Ade scored 41 points and was stripped.
The Rockets tried to take turns with Josh Smith, Jones and others, and the result was abused by Ade.
Two of the top three in Texas are already dangerous.
On April 27, the Clippers and the Lone Ranger started at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
This is the battle of the Lone Ranger. In this defeat, the Lone Ranger is at risk of being swept away.
Before the start of the playoffs, people also vowed that the Lone Ranger had a chance to black the Clippers.
But after two games, people discovered that the 70-win team in the regular season is really not so easy to be black, and the Clippers are really strong.
Both offensive and defensive, can kill you with offense, can also kill you with defense.
Once the Clippers show a strong defensive ability in the playoffs, people have no hope of the Lone Ranger Black Eight.
Defense in the playoffs is the lifeline. With this lifeline, the Clippers will not roll over if there is no accident.
The game officially started at seven in the evening.
The Lone Ranger who returned to his home court attacked fiercely at the start.
Nowitzki caught the ball from a high position and made a jumper.
For the Clippers, Li Liang missed his first three-pointer.
Li Liang often tries three-pointers at the beginning of the game. If it feels good, basically the whole game will feel good.
If the investment fails, it means that adjustment is needed.
Carlisle and Lone Ranger fans were slightly relieved on the sidelines, knowing that Li Liang's opening tonight had a general feel.
Explain that the Lone Ranger still has a chance.
Then the Lone Ranger hit a 9:2 climax, hitting the Clippers for the first time.
After returning from the suspension, the Clippers played Paul Griffin's pick-and-roll cooperation.
Rivers thought that the first two games of Li Liang were sharp, and the lone ranger had paid more attention to Li Liang.
The third game, we must fight from other points, Griffin is the best choice.
The sharp edge of Li Liang's knife should be hidden first, and it will be revealed when necessary, giving the Lone Ranger a fatal blow.
Rivers's idea is correct. The Clippers have an absolute advantage in the lineup and strength, and how to win is big.
If the team's third person can open this point, it is impossible for the Lone Ranger to beat the three-pointed Clippers.
Griffin lived up to expectations and carried the team's offensive burden in the first quarter of not much playing time and began to attack the Lone Ranger.
Griffin's strength this season is really greatly underestimated, he has been the team's most stable scoring point in the regular season.
And Griffin has made a lot of progress in this season's internal attacking ability. His play style is very tough, and he can output steadily under the high-intensity defense of the playoffs.
The Clippers relied on defense and Griffin's inside attack in the unfavorable start of the first quarter, chasing the score back a little bit.
By the beginning of the second quarter, the second lineup of both sides was excessive, Griffin continued to attack the aging, fragile insider of the Lone Ranger, forcing Carlisle to have to grapple Griffin.
It doesn't matter this bag, the outside Crawford and Collison made a three-pointer, the Clippers vaguely opened the score posture.
Carlisle immediately called a timeout when the situation was bad, and replaced the main lineup.
At this time, Nowitzki was absent for some time in the middle of the second quarter. Taking advantage of the weak time of the Lone Ranger offensive system, the Clippers launched the most fierce counterattack in the second quarter.
Li Liang made his debut during this time and scored two three-pointers from the outside, forcing the Lone Ranger to change his defense focus.
As a result, Paul followed, and Calderon's defense was ignored in front of Paul. The Clippers pulled the score in the second quarter.
But the Lone Ranger back home is obviously not so good to deal with.
In the third quarter, the old Carter stood out, hitting a three-pointer in the attack, narrowing the score.
Then, the Lone Ranger played a very efficient pick-and-roll cooperation-the high-level pick-and-roll of Monta Ellis and Nowitzki began to exert its power.
In the first two games, Li Liang broke out in the first game and did not give the Lone Ranger a chance to play.
In the second defensive battle, Li Liang curbed Nowitzki's role in the solo tactical system.
In the third game, Carlisle felt bad, and boldly abandoned Calderon in the second half, using the two veterans of Carter and Harris, while letting Monta Ellis dominate, starting from high position with Nowitzki. attack.
Nowitzki's high pick-and-roll is definitely historically strong. Monta Ellis continuously hit the Clippers inside in the third quarter, and Nowitzki also succeeded in the middle distance.
Nowitzki played this coincidentally, reduced the number of touches, and played more of an auxiliary role in high picks and rolls-in the past he was the main attacking role.
The burden of the main attack was placed on Monta Ellis's shoulder. If Ellis controlled the ball, it would be much more aggressive than Calderon.
And at home in Dallas, the referee's whistle was still slightly biased towards some home teams. Ellis had multiple free throw attempts in the third quarter to help the home team chase back one point by one point.
And Carlisle made a bold adjustment on defense, that is, no longer let Marion defend Li Liang, but let Blair defend Li Liang.
This change actually worked well.
Not because Blair defended Li Liang better, but because Blair defense didn't seem to get worse!
In this way, Marion would be free to deal with Paul.
The Lone Ranger has been unable to find a player against Paul, so that Paul's performance in the first two games is terrible.
Marion to Paul, Li Liang will go with him, if you break me like the first game and throw me to death, we will throw it!
Li Liang played well in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, he made 2 of 6 3-pointers and only scored 11 points.
On the defensive end, Ellis made two fouls, and the Lone Ranger's more flexible pick-and-roll strategy made Li Liang's defense lack the dominance of the second game.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Carter took a three-pointer from the outside to catch Nowitzki's pass, the Lone Ranger successfully overtook the Clippers with 89:88!
The veteran-based Lone Ranger team showed amazing resilience in the second half.
In the case of the Clippers without major mistakes, relying on the adjustment of strategy and player play, the situation was reversed.
From this point of view, Rivers' adjustment is a bit slow.
In the case of Carlisle's apparent counterpoint replacement in the second half, Rivers did not dare to use Odom and Granger on the bench, but continued to reuse Crawford, resulting in a decline in the efficiency of the Clippers' offense and defense. Lost two key backcourt rebounds.
After Carter made a superb 3-pointer, Rivers called for a timeout.
Li Liang played too long in the third quarter, and he couldn't catch the ball.
The Lone Ranger made Blair play against Li Liang, and the other defenders tried to cut Li Liang's contact with his teammates.
After all, Li Liang's ability to hold the ball is still inadequate. He needs teammates' support in the offense.
Paul, a dead dwarf, was entangled by Marion, and it was a little difficult to get out of the ball.
The opportunities given to Li Liang were not very good, which led to the low efficiency of Li Liang in the first three quarters.
Li Liang is a famous king of efficiency in the league. Paul is blamed for such low efficiency.
After the start of the fourth quarter, Rivers made one of the most important decisions of the game-let Li Liang rest for a while.
He almost played in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Rivers decided to give Li Hao a good rest for five or six minutes, and then he decided to win at the last minute.
It was Odom who played for Li Liang.
As soon as Odom played, the offense and defense strategies of the two sides were completely different.
The Lone Ranger's defense has shrunk across the board, and the Clippers are still fighting desperately on the offensive end.
In the fourth quarter, the two sides began a bayonet battle with short soldiers.
Paul and Griffin turned around on the court. Griffin continuously attacked the inside of the Lone Ranger, causing the Lone Ranger to foul and take a free throw.
And the lone ranger played best is Ellis.
Tonight Ellis shines, the breakthrough is extremely sharp.
There is also veteran Carter, whose shot outside the three-point line is extremely threatening.
Also in Texas, the American Airlines Center in Dallas is not the Toyota Center in Houston, and the Blue Cowboy is very popular.
In any case, the Lone Ranger hopes to win the next game in the series.
If they can win this time, they may be able to go to the next city with high morale.
After all, Carlisle felt as if he had found some ways to deal with Li Liang and the Clippers.
Li Liang, who was sitting off the court, just wanted to say to Carlisle: No, you didn't.
...
"Bruce, come on."
With 5 minutes and 45 seconds left until the end of the game, Rivers let Li Liang debut.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 97:97.
The two sides played more than a half in the fourth quarter, and neither side scored ten, enough to see how intense the game.
The number of turnovers and fouls of both sides surged in the fourth quarter, and the smell of gunpowder was even stronger.
In the first game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Nowitzki took an elbow, Barnes and Marion almost played in the regular season, this month Monta Ellis and Paul are on the bar.
Paul had many small moves when he was defending. This time Ellis played well. Paul was the main defense behind Ellis, and the conflict between the two was naturally not less.
In the fourth quarter, the two each took a technical foul, and then entered the official suspension, Li Liang was ready to debut.
After more than half a day of rest, Li Liang felt that his physical fitness had recovered a lot, and his hand sensory should have returned.
As insurance, Li Liang called out three-point hit rate promotion posts from the system.
Then he rubbed the muscles of his face, ready to bloom his smile.
Li Liang looked up at the timer, 5 minutes 45 seconds, this series is about to end.
3: 0 Well, there is no team in history to make a comeback, right?
Hiding the blade for a whole game, it finally shines coldly.
