Chapter 947: Sweep again

To be honest, there is one thing to say, in all fairness, if you don't talk about it, you can't be black. As a coach, Li Liang's last minute operation is a bit too much.
In order to achieve his own fg, he even used the penalty kick tactics, abruptly rushing his own score to more than 130, so that the Clippers were once again nailed to the pillar of shame.
In the NBA playoffs for so many years, the opponent scored 130 points in regular time is also one of the few.
Counting the extra time is not estimated to be much.
The Kings showed great firepower tonight.
Li Liang scored 40 points, most of his points came from the first half.
The Kings made 17 three-pointers in the game, among which Gordon felt hot and hit 7 three-pointers, creating his own record of three-pointers in the playoffs.
Tucker, Guy, Rondo, Barnes, and even Cousins ​​have three points.
The Clippers exposed huge defensive loopholes in their flanks in their defense. The Kings constantly used them to break through and tore open the defensive space in the bottom corner. Tucker, Guy and Barnes all hit the Clippers with three-pointers from the bottom corner. .
The Clippers, which had been able to compete in the regular season, suffered a major loss in the playoffs.
After the game, in the press conference, the Clippers players collectively absent, only Rivers participated.
Rivers was obviously dissatisfied with Li Liang's "penalty shootout" at the last moment.
"I think this goes against the spirit of competitive sports, which is wrong."
Lao Li is obviously very angry, he is also an old colleague anyway, why doesn't he give any face?
And Li Liang said at the press conference,
I’m paying tribute to Coach Rivers. I think his free throw tactics at the last minute are unsolvable. I proved this tonight.

Indeed, Rivers’
penalty kick
is really a bit incomprehensible under the leading state at the last minute.
From the invention to the present, as long as you are led by the Clippers by more than 3 points in the last minute, then you will lose and it is impossible to comeback.
As a result, Li Liang used this set of tactics abruptly to achieve his own fg when he was bound to win, scoring more than 130 points.
The Clippers players are quite angry, but you are useless.
Li Liang's prediction on Twitter has come true, and the number of likes and reposts is even more amazing.
Tang Laozhuang reposted the comment again, "My words must be practiced, my god!"
When it comes to creating public opinion, Li Liang is really a talent.
If he doesn't have a system falling from the sky, it won't be a problem to be a marketing master after graduation.
Selling success studies in the United States, engaging in hype, and returning to China with a layer of skin, writing a book of "My success can be copied", "250 secrets of American success" or something, it is estimated that it can become a legend in the marketing industry. .
Of course, inheriting the family business and becoming a tractor king is definitely not a problem.
In addition to this game, the home team won the other games.
The Warriors easily defeated the Blazers. The first round was just a warm-up for the strong team.
Like LeBron James, he has never fallen in the first round of his career. The strength is really extremely strong and stable.
Of course, the more powerful Li Liang has never fallen in the finals in his career.
...
Two days later, in the second battle between the King and the Clippers, the Clippers came with a strong will to revenge.
But at the Golden One Center, the Clippers still failed to overturn the King.
The two sides fought very intensely in this game. By the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Clippers still led the Kings by 3 points.
After watching for a while, Rivers will start the "penalty kick" mode.
Li Liang called a timeout, replaced Cousins, and adopted a five-small lineup.
A combination of Li Liang, Gordon, Tucker, Rondo and Guy.
This time, you don't need Mike Brown to remind me to play center, I personally come to the center position, Li Liang!
Of course, Rondo is not impossible to play center.
This five-small lineup, Li Liang usually drills many times during training, and has also used it in some games during the regular season, but not much.
The sudden use this time caught the Clippers off guard.
The Kings successfully hit a 13:2 offensive shock wave, and in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, the Clippers were swept away.
The five-small lineup was originally a wave of the Warriors in the 15th season, but in the finals, the Pacers' five small-teacher became a man.
After that, the fifth elementary school disappeared in the league.
It can be said that the existence of Li Liang has caused a little twists and turns in the trend of basketball development.
But soon, when he became a coach, he realized the absolute advantage of the small lineup in the current NBA rules and trends.
Space and three-pointers, which are emphasized by every team, are allowed by the rules.
Because the NBA needs to make the game more beautiful.
Therefore, Li Liang has been secretly preparing a small lineup belonging to the Kings.
The King has good capital to play a small lineup, as long as there is Li Liang, a panacea.
On the defensive end, he can complete the task of protecting the basket relatively qualified, and the huge three-point threat in the offense basically nullifies the opponent's inside line.
Gordon, Guy, and Rondo all have the ability to solve problems on the offensive end. It can be said that this is a replica of the Pacers' five small.
This wave of five small offenses overturned the Clippers and gave the Kings a 2-0 lead.
In the next game, the two sides will move to Los Angeles, and the Clippers hope to find some places at home.
Can't be swept 4:0?
As a result, the third game of the two sides started in Staples, and the first quarter of the game, there was an accident.
During a dribble, Paul got rid of Rondo's defense. As a result, there was a problem with his hand without confrontation.
Paul threw the ball on his hand, covered his hand, and left the court from the player tunnel.
He knows his own body best. He knows that a certain part of his hand is broken and he is over this season.
Chris Paul was very unwilling, very unwilling, could he really not even make it into the Western Conference Finals after leaving Bruce Lee?
But the fact is like this. With Bruce Lee, the Clippers were so impressive. The second team with 70 wins, the strongest offense in the league, swept the league in general.
As soon as he left, the Clippers fell into a pseudo-strong team.
Paul wanted to prove himself, but it was a pity that fate always did not favor him.
As he left the court, he looked up at the ceiling, the only championship banner hanging over the Staples Center.
In that banner, there is also his dedication and credit, so that only a trace of peace in the heart can be obtained.
Paul didn't know that if he had drunk the glass of water that Li Liang handed him, everything might be different.
Without Chris Paul, the Clippers have completely lost the capital to compete with the Kings.
Of course, the Clippers did not lose the courage and desire to continue fighting.
Little Rivers came on as a substitute for Paul, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com fought a tenacious battle with the King at Staples Center.
However, the opponent is too strong, Li Liang did not give the Clippers any chance.
He and Rondo's pick-and-roll cooperation, without strong flanking defensive players to assist the defense, there is no solution at all.
In this battle, Li Liang scored 40 points to help the Kings beat the Clippers, and the series achieved an absolute lead of 3:0.
After the game, Chris Paul underwent an MRI examination and confirmed a torn ligament in his left palm and missed all subsequent games.
There is no doubt that this season for the Clippers is over again.
I thought it would create a little trouble for the king in the first round, but...
In the fourth game, Li Liang did not show mercy and took advantage of the away game to score 37 points again in a single game to help the Kings sweep the Clippers 4:0 and successfully advance to the second round.
Sweep, sweep again.
