Chapter 382: Substitute issues

? Mike Brown's life is not easy.
After losing both Li Liang and Kobe's thighs, the Lakers' offense and defense collapsed in half.
Nick Yang is too far behind Li Liang in defense, Howard has not fully recovered, Nash is one year older, and Ci Shiping continues to be inaccurate.
This game is really unplayable.
In the preseason, the Lakers stumbled, lost all the way, and won two games in the end.
Because the Lakers are the defending champions, even if they meet in the preseason, other teams will use their full strength.
The Lakers, who lacked two generals, have been beaten, and those who have been beaten have swollen noses and blue faces.
Of course, the outside world still looks forward to the Lakers, after all, preseason.
Only Mike Brown, as the team's head coach, clearly knows that the Lakers are now the end of the crossbow, and it is in a dilapidated state.
The salary space is completely blocked, and there is no chance of reinforcement.
Mike Brown just wanted to sigh on the bench, missed Li Liang too much, and missed his passion while on the team.
If Li Liang was there, he was hit 8:0 in the opening, and he must have been madly scolded on the bench.
As soon as he scolded, the team was full of energy.
Without him scolding, I always feel uncomfortable.
With a short timeout of 20 seconds, Mike Brown made some adjustments and adjustments to move the offense from Howard.
After the timeout, the Lakers played a tactic.
With a free throw, Nick Young received a pass from the screen and hit a mid-range jumper from the bottom right.
The Lakers finally scored.
The Clippers' offense strategy has also been fine-tuned.
Paul was scolded by Li Liang and he decided to lead the attack by himself.
Paul controlled the ball from a high position, Griffin and Jordan came up to double screen.
Paul cut the ball from the middle and didn't go fast, without destroying the Lakers' defense. Instead, he passed the ball to Griffin.
Ci Shiping stared at Griffin closely, and the pick-and-roll cooperation was not good.
But Griffin faced Ci Shiping's defense, and a difficult dry pull-up shot made two points.
Griffin's opening feel was quite good.
This is also the arrangement that Rivers started in the first quarter.
Griffin is now the team's third offensive point, so at the beginning of the game, when the defense was weakest, he opened up.
Li Liang and Paul can easily make decisions and pass the ball.
When the need came later, Li Liang and Paul fired again.
Rivers's little abacus is also a thief.
Subsequently, Ci Shiping stepped offense on the offensive end.
The Clippers once again got an offensive opportunity, Paul scored the left side of the basket to slide the bottom line, the ball to the bottom corner of Li Liang ambush.
Li Liang catches a three-pointer!
The first three-pointer of the season!
Unfortunately, there was no hit, Li Liang thought, what ball did Paul pass, the rhythm is not good at all.
Li Liang blamed Paul for not casting himself.
The Lakers got a rebound in the backcourt. Nash took the ball and rushed to the basket, but was blocked by Jordan.
The Lakers are really trying to score now.
In the counterattack, Paul passed the ball to Little Jordan with a single blow, and Little Jordan dunked with one hand!
At 10:2, the Clippers continued to maintain their lead.
The Lakers vaguely felt a crash at the beginning.
Sure enough, the next attack, Nick-Yang hit the ball and missed three points.
Li Liang got a rebound in the backcourt and delivered the ball to Paul. The Clippers were another opportunity to fight back.
Li Liang rushed to the right 45 degrees, people arrived, Paul's pass arrived.
This time, Li Liang first made a fake move to catch Nick Yang, who came over, and then made a three-point shot.
Absolute open space, unmanned defense, hit three points!
After scoring, Li Liang was relieved himself, opened, and opened in the new season.
The first goal is very important. The sooner you come, the more meaningful it is to build confidence in a shooter.
After a summer, many players will have fluctuating field goal percentages.
Some people will become more accurate in three points, while others will see a sharp decline.
In addition to training, it is also related to the player's own physical and mental state.
Some players practice too hard in the summer, or the team environment changes, or the opponent's defensive strategy changes, which will cause the long-range shooting rate to fluctuate.
Last year, Li Liang made a terrifying three-pointer, and he made a miraculous three-pointer in the finals.
In the new season, opponents will definitely take targeted and strict defense.
At the same time, Li Liang himself has added pass and ball control training. For the training and maintenance of three points, it is definitely not as good as last season.
He anticipates that his three-point shooting percentage will decline slightly. The goal he has set is to not exceed 3 percentage points.
Maintained above 46% of three-pointers.
Others heard this target is estimated to be scared to death, 46% hit rate? This is some people's two-point shooting percentage.
And Li Liang will never have so many vacancies this season, he will face a lot of close defense, while maintaining a certain amount of three-point attempts and hits.
46%, quite impressive.
It's just that 49% of last season's three points approached 50%, which is really terrible.
With this three-pointer, Kobe Bryant can't do anything.
Started to stand up and shouted, "Cut him, stick, don't let it go!"
This ball is Nick Young. I’m stupid. I jumped up and wanted to disturb, and replaced it with a more experienced player.
At 13:2, Nash saw that the team could not attack and could only come by himself.
After he broke through the middle, a horseback archery hit a board jumper from close range.
It takes Nash to score so early, and the Lakers' offense is really gone.
Then Griffin made a pick-and-roll with Li Liang in the high position. After Li Liang attracted the two defenders, he scored a goal for Griffin.
Griffin made a step within the three-point line, hit a mid-range jumper and hit two points!
Desperate, it turns out that Li Liang can do a pick and roll with Griffin!
Li Liang and Griffin are pick and rolls. Both are tall and tall. It is difficult for you to block.
And the Lakers can't care about that much now, it's important to score first!
Nash speeded up the offensive rhythm. After a quick serve in the backcourt, he rushed to the basket. After attracting the Clippers' defense, he scored a shot for Howard who was following him. Howard dunked his hands!
Li Liang is going to scold people again.
"Bubble, do you focus on people, okay! Let others wipe your ass, and something is wrong!"
This time Paul was not focused enough when staring at Nash, and Nash broke the first line of defense.
Little Jordan had to come up to help defense, and the result was empty.
Paul didn't speak, but he was upset.
Obviously leading a lot, the result still has to be scolded.
But Li Liang was right. He was indeed responsible for the ball.
In the Clippers for two years, now in the third year, Paul has always cursed people.
Now the situation is different. In the first quarter of the first game, I have just played a half, and I will be scolded to death.
Never suffered so many wrongs.
Immediately Paul responded and organized a beautiful position attack.
He used Griffin and Li Liang's attractiveness on offense, and finally sent the ball to Caron Butler.
Butler hit a 3-pointer from the outside!
18:4!
The Clippers' opening offensive efficiency is amazing and terrible.
The Lakers had no other way. After using the cover, Nash went to the horns in one step and made a two-point jumper.
Now the Lakers are relying on Nash singles.
Nash hit a goal, Li Liang glared like Paul.
This time Li Liang did not speak, but Paul felt the pressure.
So, in the next attack, Paul flanked the ball one-on-one Nash.
He took the ball to the bottom line, then made a jump shot and hit!
20:6.
Subsequently, the two sides entered a period of peace.
The Lakers started scoring. In addition to Nash, Meeks made a two-pointer.
Then, Griffin received Li Liang's pass again, rushed into the basket and left hand dunk!
It took about seven or eight minutes to start the game. The two sides are very civilized. So far there has been no free throws.
In addition to the strength of the two sides because of the season opener, but also because the fighting spirit on the Lakers side is really not strong enough.
The opening was a bit stunned by the Clippers.
When the score became 24:8, the two sides entered an official timeout.
Rivers had a staff rotation and replaced Li Liang with Matt Barnes.
This is Rivers' rotation, and during the first half of the first quarter, Li Liang rested.
On the second lineup, Paul took a dozen hits and made Li Liang debut in the middle of the second quarter.
To be honest, Li Liang is not very cold about this rotation.
He felt that his rest time was too long.
But Rivers, after all, is a head coach, and he still has to face.
Besides, the team has played very well in the first game so far, let's just obey Rivers' rotation arrangement.
When the team can't play any other day, Rivers will naturally let Li Liangduo play.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides scored 31:16, and the Clippers led the Lakers by 15 points.
It seems that there is no suspense in the game.
But this is only the first quarter, the Lakers are not so easy to be killed.
Li Liang sat off the court and looked at the game seriously on the court. Both sides were on the bench in the second quarter.
At this time, the Clippers began to have a little problem on the field.
Crawford played on the court with a substitute. As a result, on the defensive end, the basket first leaked cleanly. After Blake slipped the bottom line, a back pass passed to Gasol in the basket. Gasol eased up. The basket succeeds.
Then Crawford missed an outside jumper, the Lakers quickly counterattack, and Gasol, easy slam dunk under the basket.
Hollins, the bench inside, did not keep up with Gasol.
Then Hollins cut the layup and missed a simple layup.
The Lakers fought back, Gasol made a high pass, Xavier Henry cut, and received a layup!
The Lakers called the Clippers at the beginning of the second quarter~EbookFREE.me~ Rivers immediately called for a timeout. The difference from 15 points to 9 points all at once.
The Clippers' bench was somewhat silent, but as long as there was Li Liang, there would be no real silence.
"What the are you defending and what is it! If you can't defend, I don't mind setting up a defensive training class to teach you how to defend, for free!"
Rivers originally wanted to talk to motivate the players, but was interrupted by Li Liang's repeated criticism. He didn't know what to say.
"Uh... uh, we have a problem with our defense."
When it was over, the chicken broth at the mouth was all washed away, I don't know what to say.
But the defense of the Clippers bench is really a big problem.
Rivers suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.
