Chapter 533: Suspension is not enough

In the playoffs, Li Liang is getting more and more arrogant.
But in front of Lillard, Li Liang wanted to be arrogant.
The two are rookies of the same year. Last year's competition for the best rookie was not too fierce.
And Lillard is also a person with a very arrogant personality. Every time he plays with the Blazers, Lillard and Li Liang have to fight each other.
Of course, the Trail Blazers lost more and less, and Li Liang has lost more than 20 games in the past two years. Although Lillard is amazing, Li Liang is completely shocking.
In fact, the two have many similarities. For example, they are seniors and senior rookies. They are relatively mediocre in terms of external conditions.
Bounce, speed, and strength did not make people feel bright, Lillard was worse, and his height was not enough.
But when they really come to the game, they can only see their advantages during the game.
Precise jump shots under high confrontation, excellent game feeling, superb basketball IQ, and excellent scoring explosiveness.
The strong scoring power means that a player has a first-class talent on the offensive end and will burst out under special circumstances.
In the rookie season, Lillard's three-pointers are second only to Li Liang, ranking second in the rookie.
As an underestimated rookie, Lillard has a strong fighting spirit, but at the beginning he aimed at Anthony Davis, but now the goal has changed, it is Li Liang, who needs him to catch up.
After hearing Li Liang's words, Lillard responded immediately on the offensive end.
He and Aldridge completed a pick-and-roll match, then hit a mid-range jumper on the top of the arc, and finally broke the Blazers' scoring shortage.
At this time, the first quarter of the game has been played for six minutes before the Blazers scored the first goal.
Subsequently, Paul and Jordan picked up the screen and missed a mid-range jumper.
The Blazers' defensive strategy at the start was to bet on the Clippers' poor outside feel.
They used a strategy of adduction when defending Paul's pick-and-roll. The big players prevented Paul from collecting inwards without giving Paul a chance to pass inside and let Paul vote.
Batum is staring at Li Liang even more, not giving him a little space.
In fact, the Trail Blazers are not wrong. The Clippers' opening shots are indeed fair, otherwise they will not only score 13 points in six minutes.
It’s just that the Blazers feel worse.
After Paul made two hits, he missed the middle of the ball.
This is also a small problem with Paul shooting, his score is not explosive.
In terms of shooting percentage, Paul's shooting percentage in the middle range is very high, higher than that of Kevin Durant.
But from the course of the game, it will be found that Paul's mid-range hits are scattered.
On the one hand, it is related to his shooting choices, his offense and organization are always interspersed.
On the other hand, Paul’s ability to score continuously, or his determination, is not as good as those of real scorers.
He has less of a feeling that he has scored four or five goals in a row, killing his opponent.
Stotts is right on this point, preferring to allow Paul to shoot more points, not to allow Paul to attack, organization interspersed, and lead the team.
This is also the more traditional way of dealing with core point guard teams like the Clippers.
It's just that the Clippers not only have Paul, but also Li Liang, who is now the true core of the Clippers.
Stotts didn't know this. He didn't know how to target Li Liang. The first game was mainly one defense and one mark.
Li Liang then used his performance to tell Stotts that one-on-one marking was no longer useful to him.
The Trail Blazers gave the ball to Ade singles, defending Ade is Jordan Jr., and Li Liang stared at Lopez.
Ade's one-handed hook missed after turning to the middle, Li Liang caught Lopez and grabbed a backcourt rebound.
Then Li Liang dribbled himself through the half, and Batum naturally followed the defense closely. This was when Jordan came up and made a cover.
Li Liang first handed over to Little Jordan, and then run empty-handed, and Little Jordan returned the ball to Li Liang at the top of the arc.
Li Liang took the ball at the top of the arc and shot one step away from the three-point line, hitting a three-pointer!
Opened, Li Liang's three-point touch opened.
Stotts didn't feel well, and immediately called another timeout.
Only two minutes before the last pause.
Stotts is not only worried about Li Liang's three-pointer, he is looking at the longer term.
He knew that Li Liang's three-pointer opened, and the Clippers offense is likely to blossom.
After Griffin came off the bench, Crawford came off the bench, and the Clippers played a big four.
The court space is particularly open, and the offense is wide open.
And Li Liang's three-pointer is a key for the Clippers to attack quickly.
As soon as the door opens, the tide of attack will surge.
So Stotts's timeout was called in a timely manner, when the points were not widened too far, and had not reached an irreparable point.
After this short timeout, Lillard took the ball and scored inside, causing Jordan's foul and hitting the free throw line.
A clever move, the Blazers now need to score, and the pace of the game needs to slow down.
Afterwards, the Blazers took Paul's defensive strategy again, and Paul missed a shot after breaking through the middle.
Robinson got a rebound in the backcourt, the Trail Blazers pushed back, and Matthews made a foul after rushing to the basket.
This Blazers played a series of games with the Rockets, okay, you don’t learn.
Sure enough, people who are close to Zhu are black and those who are close to Mexico, and those who are close to the Rockets will take free throws.
Matthews made two free throws and the Clippers immediately pushed back. Paul went straight to the rim and scored to keep up with Li Liang, who then passed the ball to Crawford on the wing. Hit.
The Clippers cannot always score.
On the Blazers side, relying on two free throws and two more successful defenses can be considered to stabilize the situation.
Although the score is still a lot behind, but at least will not be beaten in the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides played 29:19, the Clippers led the Blazers by 10 points.
In fact, the Blazers are still able to play the windball. In the first round of playing the Rockets, they almost started the field and played the windball. They went all the way to the fourth quarter, and finally they could make a comeback.
This is also the offensive feature of Stoz’s training. The so-called Flow uses the time of the first few quarters to run in. When the last quarter is smooth, it is difficult for the opponent to stop.
In 2011, the Lone Ranger’s offense was his training, and the most impressive thing about the Lone Ranger that year was the Jedi counterattack in the last moment. They had more than one game in the last few minutes of the attack and successfully completed a major reversal. Among these are the The credit of the offense coach Stotts.
So 10 points behind in the first quarter seems to be nothing to the Trail Blazers. They are confident that they won’t know the outcome before the last quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers came off the bench Mo Williams first hit an emergency stop jumper.
The point difference was chased within 10 points.
Then Griffin made another violation of the offense.
The Blazers relied on Robin Lopez's offensive rebounds to score two points, the score gap narrowed further.
But the Blazers' happiness didn't last for more than 10 seconds. Odom passed the ball and quickly counterattacked the ball to Crawford in the corner. A big open space, Crawford made a three-pointer shot!
The Clippers' second lineup still holds the word "fast". Every player can push the counterattack and even organize an offensive.
Odom, Livingston, Crawford, Griffin.
To put it in perspective, the so-called play with Li Liang as the core is actually a play with everyone as the core.
Because Li Liang's own organization is like that, but Li Liang's fierce three-point firepower will make the organization of each player easier and the space is opened.
Now even if Li Liang is not on the field, the first reaction after each player gets the ball is not to deliver the ball, but to find a way to advance, and then look for an offensive opportunity to pass the ball, or attack.
In this way, the Clippers attacked by the whole people are the most terrible Clippers.
Subsequently, the Trail Blazers scored 1 point from the free throw, from Dorell Wright.
But immediately Odom received the ball in the low post and back to the unsuccessful Livingston layup.
After a year of hard training, Odom followed Li Haohao to train every day, and his state has recovered greatly.
He quit the poison and Kardashian, and he wanted to play well in Los Angeles.
Although the state has not returned to its peak, it is no longer the left-handed magician, but the current state is enough to shine in the playoffs.
Then, the Blazers were playing, and the field began to be a bit messy.
Mo Williams once again chose a pick-and-roll to shoot directly in the middle distance, but he missed.
The Blazers started to play more and more simple, there is not much tactical running position, the opportunity to vote.
This was the essence of Flow's tactics~EbookFREE.me~It was quite easy to use in the first round of playing rockets.
Because the Rockets are defending like that, the more important thing is to fight offense, the Rockets actually can't fight the Blazers, their outside shooting is not so good.
The Clippers are different, you and the Clippers fight offense, that is to find death.
Especially for the fast-paced offensive, once the Clippers speed up, it is the full-speed aircraft carrier, you don’t have to dispatch the plane, and you will be killed by the collision.
From the second quarter, the Blazers were a little closer to the score, and soon turned sharply.
The Clippers played a 12:3 offensive attack wave for the Trail Blazers, pulling the point difference to more than 15 points.
Stotts can only call a timeout again, I feel that this timeout is not enough.
The Clippers haven't called for a timeout so far, Rivers, you help, but they also call one.
Sorry, Rivers is still better than Mike Brown, leading, what is called a timeout.
