Chapter 414: Change style

Mike Brown really wants to play tricks on the Clippers' defense, but this is the first game after the adjustment, and he can't play big tricks.
The team had adjusted defensive training yesterday, and with the support of Mike Brown, Rivers naturally took Butler from the starting position.
Because it was Barnes who replaced Butler, they were similar in terms of seniority and their personalities were similar, so there was no big problem.
After putting Barnes in the starting shooting guard position, the Clippers' starting defense has been strengthened, and their autonomous offensive ability is slightly weaker.
But in fact, after Li Liang has the ability to hold the ball, Butler's ability to hold the ball is relatively redundant.
At the time of the Lone Ranger, Butler was the team's third scoring point, second only to Nowitzki and Terry, almost the same as Terry.
As a result, Butler was lost and replaced by defensive Stevenson. The Lone Ranger became more and more courageous and won the championship all the way.
It's not because of Butler's cancer. If Butler doesn't reimburse, Lone Ranger's road to championship will definitely be smoother.
It is because, in a stable starting lineup, too many ball points will overlap and consume each other, because there is only one ball.
Brown suggested putting Barnes on the starting line, in addition to defensive considerations, but also offensive considerations.
There are already three ball rights digest points for Paul, Li Liang and Griffin, and adding a Butler is a waste.
It would be better to put him on the bench and come off the bench to add firepower to the second team.
Brown thinks very well, how to play depends on the effect of the game.
Because Barnes has a three-pointer from the outside, you have to say yes, there are, but the key moments are really not very good.
When Barnes entered the NBA in his early years, he didn't have a three-pointer. He was purely acquired from the day after tomorrow, not a talented player like Li Liang.
A big problem for the trained pitcher is that it is not too reliable at the critical moment, because it depends too much on muscle memory and rhythm.
In the game of basketball, when you fight to the end, when you are at sea and rocks, you are fighting for talent.
However, using Barnes in the regular season is absolutely no problem.
It's just that Barnes is 33 years old this year and has been playing small forward. How to face the young guard in the shooting guard position will be a problem.
Jeff Van Gundy expressed some doubts in this regard before the game started, but he thinks that the overall second position of the entire league is declining, and perhaps it does not need to be too worried.
At this time the game began, Jordan Jordan won the ball, the Clippers took the lead in attacking.
Perkins will miss the season for about a month due to a hip injury. Instead of starting his rookie Adams.
In the starting lineup, the head coach would rather use rookie Adams than the top pick of the year. The Tabit, known as "Mutombo II", is enough to see that this capability is really not good.
The Grizzlies chose him with the list of eyes at first... normal operation.
In the opening goal, Li Liang missed a jumper with a bottom line to catch the ball.
But Adams fouled the rebound and then the Clippers played a beautiful high and low position.
Griffin received the ball from a high position and passed the ball to Jordan, who made a heavy dunk under the basket.
It can be seen that the young man in New Zealand is still very young, making two consecutive mistakes in the opening attack.
But he was born in 1993, he is still very young, just 20 years old this year.
On the offensive end of the Thunder, Westbrook received a shot from the post and missed.
Griffin got a rebound in the backcourt.
Then Adams continued to pay tuition.
After Griffin and Paul pick-and-roll, Griffin cut the ball and missed the layup after the fake.
Adams grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and was pulled by Li Liang from the back-where did this guy come from?
Li Liang tossed the ball towards Adams in the case of going out of bounds!
Li Liang just threw it casually, trying to smash the ball out of bounds, but the ball accidentally hit Adams' crotch...
The ball bounced out of bounds, but Adams also became a disciple of the crotch faction, with a painful look on his face.
The ball rights still belong to the Clippers. Li Liang stepped forward and patted Adams, expressing his apology.
Although Li Liang would steal and play, but he didn't have any dirty movements.
Even if he played games in the 60s and 70s in the task, the opponents were so savage, Li Liang only defeated the opponents by basketball, not like the opponents.
In Li Liang's view, dirty can make you a winner. Players in NBA history who rely on dirty to help the team win championships are not without.
But dirty can't make you a king, and the real king will never use the means of the third.
Malone and Stockton could not win the championship, and there are some reasons for this.
Chris Paul has always had a "dirty" evaluation, and Li Liang hopes to correct his tricks.
Adams recovered, and the boy said nothing.
The Clippers served the sideline and they played a very clever match.
Li Liang held the ball in the high position, Griffin went down after a fake pick-and-roll, Li Liang broke through the middle and hit the ball to Griffin.
At the moment when Griffin received the ball, he didn't stay much and directly threw a high to the inside, and Jordan received the ball with one hand and a dunk!
This matched the flow of clouds and water, seamless, and Temples cheered.
Li Liang and Jordan, Griffin high-five, the tacit understanding between them is increasing.
Adams still missed Jordan.
4:0.
The Thunder need to score.
Westbrook stood out, with three players on the perimeter and holding the ball to a strong layup, a beautiful loopback escaped the block and lowered the layup!
Did not enter...
The Clippers got rebounds to counterattack, Paul held the ball quickly through the half, Thunder was forced to change defense.
Adams faced Paul again. As a result, he was accelerated by Paul and the basket was empty. Paul relaxed his right hand layup.
Young man, really young man, Adams was beaten three times in the opening.
All three goals conceded are directly related to him. Welcome to the NBA.
Brooks did not call a timeout, but the result was that the offense did not progress. Li Liang scored a three-pointer in the counterattack, 9:0, and finally was willing to call a timeout.
This is the case for NBA coaches, who can't see the coffin and can't cry. They must be beaten if they can't get up.
At this point, Popovich is much better. One round does not feel good. It will be paused for you to open for 30 seconds and then scolded.
The opening 9:0, the Clippers' momentum is very good, as if returning to the first few games of the season.
However, if the Thunder are like the Lakers, a section can be easily defeated, they are not Thunder.
After the timeout, the Thunder's counterattack came.
It was still Westbrook's breakthrough, but this time he knew the pass after the breakthrough.
After attracting the two to defend, Ibaka gave a straight stop to the basket. Ibaka dunked successfully!
Then, Li Liang responded from a high position and gave the ball to Griffin.
Griffin turned to the basket to catch the ball, but the layup was blocked by Ibaka.
Thunder counterattack, Durant holding the ball and forced Li Liang foul.
Facing Li Liang, Durant was full of anger.
Last season in the Western Conference finals, their championship dream was abruptly disturbed by Li Liang and the Lakers.
Originally thinking about the revenge of the new season, how can I know that Li Liang ran away!
There is a kind of you... In fact, Li Liang is still in Los Angeles, but only changed the team.
Durant hit the free throw line and hit the first free throw.
Li Liang was nagging at Durant, and the words "drinking bath water" could not interfere with Durant at this time.
He is no longer that fledgling hairy kid, and will be so easily affected.
"You can't win the championship in Thunder! Why not join us! Or follow me and guarantee a championship! 100%!"
With a clatter, Durant missed the second penalty...
Durant's free throw percentage is very high, I didn't expect it to be really casual.
The Thunder team, from the perspective of their two consecutive summer operations, did not want to win the championship at all.
This missed free throw, Li Liang followed closely on the offensive end, a three-pointer hit the ball in the first quarter on the left.
The opening two three-pointers, this is the Li Clippers players are willing to see.
At 12:3, the difference is still 9 points.
Subsequently, Durant flung Li Liang off the attacking side with a beautiful running fake, cut the wing into the middle, and then received Westbrook's pass to avoid Jordan's defense. His body twisted a shot.
The posture is really ugly, but the feel is really good.
Li Liang really didn't follow the ball. Durant's empty-handed position is absolutely historical. He has a superhuman sense of attack on the offensive end, which is not available to ordinary players.
If you want to stare at him defensively, you have to concentrate on it, and don't relax for a moment.
The rhythm of both sides began to pick up.
Durant had just scored a goal, Li Liang served quickly in the backcourt, Paul pushed back, Griffin had already crossed the half to the three-point line.
With a pass from Paul, Griffin tried to extend his short hand and would catch the ball, then a spinning top made a layup.
Durant has struggled to catch up with the ball, but after all, people are not as fast as the ball.
Afterwards, Sefolosha caused Barnes to foul on offense and made two free throws.
Li Liang immediately flicked Westbrook from the top with a fake move and hit again with a 3-pointer!
How did the Thunder let Westbrook defend Li Liang?
Because the Clippers attacked too fast, the Thunder players were too late to find their opponents, and the results were misplaced.
Westbrook apparently has no experience in defending Li Liang, and even tries to block it?
Fake plus three-pointers to teach life.
Li Liang made three three-pointers in the first quarter, routine operation.
However, the Thunder's counterattack came quickly, and Sefolosha passed the ball to Westbrook. Westbrook accelerated like a hot wheel and passed Paul~EbookFREE.me~ and scored a layup.
The Thunder will not be afraid of the Clippers if the two sides fight for speed.
So far, Brown has used Barnes as a starter and has not shown any effect.
Because they haven't fallen into the position and defended well, they have been fighting fast break, speed, and star players' shooting feel.
Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides scored 19:11, and the Clippers still led by 8 points.
At this time, Griffin was replaced by Rivers and replaced by Crawford.
Griffin still looked a little indifferent, and he was killing himself, so how could he be replaced?
"Griffin was replaced in the middle of the first quarter and took a break. It looks like Brown brought the Clippers more than just a starter change."
The Van Gundy team's interest in the Clippers' style of play is growing.
