Chapter 526: Ugly

At the beginning of the second quarter, the second lineup on both sides continued to fight.
On the Clippers side, Crawford took the lead in the second quarter to hit a three-pointer to help the Clippers pull the points further apart.
On the Lone Ranger side, Devin Harrison and Carter appeared.
Harris and Carter made a cross-screen cooperation, and then used Blair's screen to enter the three-second zone, and a shot was made.
Devin Harris returned to his hometown. He was sent to the Nets to trade in Kidd. He became a lightning bolt in the Nets, and finally fell quickly.
Now his body is obviously blessed, and his face is quite round, and he has returned to the solo man to spend the last period of his career.
He's not as fast as he was. After all, he is the one who has set the fastest dribble record in the game, but his assault ability is still there.
In addition to Harris, Carter and other veterans, Nowitzki also stayed on the court.
In this regard, Nowitzki's role is very similar to Griffin, but Nowitzki's burden is heavier.
The Lone Ranger without the presence of Nowitzki often does not know how to play, even if the German tank is 36 years old.
Therefore, the Clippers' defense against Nowitzki is still tight. As long as he catches the ball, there will be a double team.
Rivers knows that Nowitzki is a Lone Ranger, blocking Nowitzki's point, the Lone Ranger's offense will not work at all. It can only be piecemeal, not a threat.
But Nowitzki was in good shape tonight. He held the ball high and faced the Clippers' double-teamer. He turned and passed Griffin!
Crawford came from the upper line to attack, but the cooperation with Griffin was not good, causing Nowitzki to leak out behind him. As a result, Nowitzki turned back and dribbled past Griffin, rushing into the basket from the left Down, then the left layup succeeded.
If there are any flaws in the Clippers lineup, a major problem is that there is no qualified backup center basket except for Jordan.
As a backup center, Hollins is relatively soft and can only barely complete the inside task. There is no way to do a good job of protecting the basket in the second lineup.
After the ball had just been played, the Clippers missed the offense, Devin Harris used the speed to get to the rim, and an acceleration over Hollins layup.
Lone Ranger narrowed the points difference to 7 points.
The Clippers have always hoped to get a better backup center in the free market and trading market, but they have never been able to do so.
After all, it is impossible for you to take advantage of anything.
Mike Brown once suggested that Li Liang occasionally act as a center guard, saying he can.
This proposal was rejected by Rivers, believing that it would put too much pressure on Li Liang, especially in the foul trouble.
In order to "cultivate" Li Liang, Mike Brown wanted to let him play all positions on the field-including the head coach.
Rivers is relatively calm, he should use Li Liang properly.
Yes, good use.
Li Liang didn't think so.
He sat down on the court and watched the second lineup of both sides coming and going, feeling a little anxious.
Why didn't you let me go?
Li Liang was not the rookie last year, but his desire to play has never diminished.
Especially this time, he is ready to fight.
With Nowitzki hitting another three-pointer on the offensive end, the Lone Ranger chased the difference to only 5 points.
Rivers called for a timeout, and the Clippers attack was in trouble.
The ball can't reach Griffin's hand. The Lone Ranger's defensive strategy is to let you shoot from the outside instead of giving Griffin a chance to play easily.
Carlisle knew that the Clippers' second team was stronger than Griffin. Crawford told the truth that the playoffs are not as good as the regular season.
Under the fast-paced and high-intensity confrontation, his outside shooting percentage dropped significantly.
While Li Liang and Paul are sitting off the court, Carlisle is ready to wait for them to play and then readjust the defensive strategy.
Carlisle's arrangement was correct, Rivers realized this and immediately replaced Li Liang.
Before going on stage, Rivers' main request to Li Liang was "Don't foul".
What Rivers fears most now is that Li Liang has fouled too much in the defense because of the fierce confrontation.
The Lone Ranger is obviously different from those young teams who have just entered the playoffs. They entered the playoffs from the beginning, and their rhythm control and tactical arrangements are very old.
They are experienced veterans from coaches to players, so the Clippers can do nothing, but there must be no big mistakes.
Rivers hopes that the Clippers can win the game in a balanced manner, as long as they don't make mistakes, the Clippers' strength is the head of the Mavericks.
Li Liang didn't think so. What Rivers said, "No foul", did I just play to avoid fouling?
Do you think I am Sakuragi Flower Road, Los Angeles exit king.
Li Liang is ready to show his talents and start his performance.
After the timeout, the Clippers served a sideline and Li Lianglai served.
Li Liang gave Paul an eye, and Paul understood it.
Paul is not Curry, Li Liang and Curry use eye coordination, it is simply a disaster, I do not know what they think in their minds.
Paul suddenly cut into the basket with an empty cut, attracting the two to defend.
Li Liang immediately passed the ball to Paul. Paul pretended to walk in, attracting the defensive attention of the three men of the Lone Ranger, and then dribbling the ball out.
At this point Li Liang has stepped into the court and cut the rim directly from the weak side. Paul saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Li Liang with a diagonal shot.
Li Liang took the ball and dribble it straight to the basket, the basket was empty!
Li Liang jumped high, with one heavy clasp!
Fly off...
The ball flew directly to the technical table and hit a technician.
Li Liang's ball was too strong, but he didn't catch the ball. The ball rebounded on the rim, but it popped out.
What a shame!
The first person to get the MVP in the regular season, the first game of the playoffs came a flying dunk, and also smashed people.
Paul looked at Li Liang's eyes full of contempt. Can't you make a layup without dunking?
You use your emergency stop jumper to be better than the dunk, your dunk shooting rate is almost inferior to the shot.
Li Liang felt very embarrassed, and his heart wanted to perform, and such a result came.
When Li Liang returned to the defense, he apologized to the technician at the technical station.
It seems that he is still fit to shoot a 3-pointer.
However, Li Liang's dribbling ball paralyzed the Lone Ranger to a certain extent!
They thought that the condition of this product would not be too good tonight, how could this be the case.
Subsequently, Blair grabbed an offensive rebound in the offense and made a foul while making a foul.
Blair added a penalty, and the difference was only 2 points behind.
Lone Ranger's counterattack is not over yet.
Little Jordan waved his elbow in the attack and accidentally hit Nowitzki's eye socket. Little Jordan was blown offense.
Nowitzki happened to be off the game, Devin Harris and Blair teamed up with a pick and roll. After Blair got the ball, facing Li Liang's defense, he used a very strange one-handed Golden Rooster to throw independently and hit a two-pointer.
The posture of the ball was very ugly. At first, the ball went upside down on the rim and the two sides tied.
Rivers called for a time-out and instead asked the Lone Ranger to tie the score.
What is this called?
This is called a draw before the storm.
Rivers did not call a timeout again, and the atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense for a while.
Since the first game of the playoffs until now, the Clippers don't seem to have the strength to crush the Lone Ranger.
This makes many fans worry, is the Clippers really far worse than the regular season?
Needless to say, there must be someone in some forums starting to post, "The Lone Ranger has tied up, what level."
What level? The level of ball blindness.
In the early years there was a theory, which later developed into a half-time theory, then a one-term theory, and a final ball theory.
The ups and downs of the basketball game are normal, and it is common for the series to win or lose. It is not easy to draw conclusions at the last minute.
Some people can't help being cheap, anyway, they'll be refreshed first, and then they will automatically hide when they are beaten.
At this point, Li Liang took the ball from Paul and organized the team's offense.
Li Liang took the ball in the high position, and the man who defended him was Marion. When Li Liang took the ball, Marion turned sideways and gave up his right side, Li Liang's left.
Then, Carter approached Li Liang. This was a pit for Li Liang and a pocket.
If an ordinary team arranges pockets for Li Liang like this, Li Liang's approach must be to transfer the ball, and then the Clippers find the gap through the pass to launch the attack.
For teams like Mavericks and Spurs who have better rotations, Li Liang will try to pass some infiltration balls.
It is really not possible to organize to Paul, or call a pick and roll, and after the pick and roll, see how to deal with it.
But this time Li Liang did not deal with the ball as before.
He dribble the ball and took a small step backwards, pulling an arm away from Marion, and then at a very fast speed, suddenly took a three-point shot!
A forcible three-pointer, Marion was completely unprepared one step away from the three-point line, and then the ball flew towards the basket. "Shoo" hollowed into the net!
After scoring a goal, Li Liang blew his fingers, feeling that he felt good.
At this point, he has used himself to improve the three-point shooting percentage of a level.
Then, Harris missed a 3-pointer from the outside in a counterattack.
Jordan got the rebound in the backcourt and delivered the ball to Li Liang.
Li Liang dribbled slowly through the half, and he didn't rush at all because he didn't want to hit the basket.
Why do you dunk? Can't get in again.
Li Liang dribble to the left 45 degrees, Marion posted again.
At this time, Marion hesitated a bit, whether he was close to the body or put a step forward to prevent a three-pointer?
In a moment of hesitation, Li Liang once again pulled up a three-pointer and hit again!
Two three-pointers in a row.
Carlisle smelled badly, and immediately called for a short pause.
Carlisle, you're so picky, why not call a long pause?
The short timeout of 20 seconds only changed the individual and put the main force back on the field. The game time was less than a minute.
Nowitzki re-appeared after dealing with the bruises on his eyes, and immediately under Li Liang's defense, scored 2 points with the iconic back-to-back Golden Rooster independent jumper.
But Li Liang doesn't care. You can vote. If you vote for one, I can.
Li Liang delivered the ball to Paul, and then pick-and-roll with Paul. With the simplest pick-and-roll cut, he received Paul's pass on the right and made another three-point shot!
The ball was fast and steady, passing straight through, and Carlisle cast a cold heart.
Li Liang's shot made Carlisle think of Stojakovic in the 2011 team.
Three consecutive three-pointers!
But it does not end.
The Lone Ranger changed his defensive strategy after a timeout. Carlisle asked Marion to defend Li Liang alone, no longer entangled, and defended his three points.
As a result, Li Liang took out his [Gravity Muyu] in time.
Under the action of the gravitational fish, Carlisle found that the players would inexplicably still cover Li Liang.
Li Liang used his ground pass and assisted Jordan to catch the dunk continuously, detonating the atmosphere of Staples.
In about 3 minutes, the Clippers beat the Lone Ranger at 15:2.
Originally, the difference was even, and the result was 13 points.
Has Li Liang spared the Lone Ranger? how is this possible.
The most important role of Gravity Muyu is not to attract defense, but to disturb the minds of solo players.
Carlisle has developed a good rotation defense system in the Lone Ranger over the years. Under Li Liang's assist and three-point bombing, there are signs of collapse.
It only took Li Liang about five or six minutes, and the Lone Ranger players began to doubt life.
How to prevent it? How do you feel a little disobedient?
At this time, Carlisle should call a timeout, which can break the impact of the gravity woodfish.
But Carlisle did not. He was suddenly stubborn. He just hoped the players could adjust themselves.
The Lone Ranger's attack was adjusted, and Nowitzki made a continuous shot in the middle to ease it.
But the Lone Ranger's defense collapsed, in the last two minutes of the second quarter.
Rivers wanted to change Li Liang for the next break, Li Liang refused.
He easily undermined the Lone Ranger's defense, it was time to reap!
Li Liang first defensively snatched Nowitzki, counterattacked the ball to keep up with Barnes, Barnes made a layup.
Then Ellis missed a jumper, Li Liang got a rebound in the backcourt, after killing himself halftime, he stopped the jumper outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer again!
The Lone Ranger's defense has been lost. They don't know whether Li Liang will pass the ball or throw it himself.
Monta Ellis quickly counterattacked and missed a jumper.
Lone Ranger is in a hurry. Carlisle shouted on the sidelines to remind him not to be anxious, but there was no way to fall behind too much.
And Li Liang seems to be more anxious than the Lone Ranger player. He did not slow down because of the team's lead, but took the ball in the backcourt.
When he reached the three-point line, the Lone Ranger didn't know how to play, and he focused on him.
As a result, Li Liang passed the ball to Griffin, and Griffin easily made a layup.
Carlisle is on the sidelines, how come it suddenly hit like this? The defense has completely dispersed.
There is no way, Carlisle uses a long timeout with one minute left before the end of the game.
At this time, the score of both sides is already 67:48, and the Clippers have led by 19 points.
The scary thing is that each of these 19 points is related to Li Liang, either the three points he made or the assists he sent.
Not most, it's every point!
Except for that crappy dunk, every choice he made later seemed to be understated, and then poked the Lone Ranger cool and crystal-clear.
Carlisle's long pause finally let the Lone Ranger players come out of the state of coercion.
They didn't know what happened, how could a good line of defense collapse?
Completely ignoring each other, without defensive focus, Li Liang frightened the ball as soon as he got the ball. I don't know whether to prevent the pass or the shot.
This is the effect produced by the gravity woodfish after infiltration.
Although it only lasted a few minutes, the blow to the Lone Ranger was devastating.
After the timeout, Carlisle arranged a tactic, Marion cut the layup and layup, but was followed by Li Liang with a supplementary defense!
This has nothing to do with Gravity Muyu, but because Li Liang saw through the Lone Ranger's tactics.
Then Paul and Li Liang pick and roll, Li Liang pretends to pass the ball to Griffin in the high position, and the top of the arc suddenly fires!
Hit three again!
70:48!
22 points.
Lone Ranger players are a bit desperate.
How do you fight this?
Is it finished?
Not finished.
Nowitzki still gritted his teeth and broke Griffin's foul after breaking the basket. After two free throws, 70:50, there was a final 10 seconds after the first half.
Li Liang wanted to catch the ball, but he couldn't catch it yet. The solo man doubled him.
The ball was passed to Paul. Paul quickly rushed into the half and Li Liang shouted to him "Give me the ball!"
Paul still passed back obediently ~EbookFREE.me~ gave the ball to Li Liang who was standing outside the three-point line.
Marion almost put it on Li Liang's face to defend, and he couldn't let him make a three-pointer!
And Li Liang made a tentative step, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then took the ball and took a step forward!
Then the emergency stop jumper shot outside the three-point line!
In a very difficult emergency stop jumper, Marion straightened his arm and rushed up to defend, but the result was still unguarded.
The ball hits the basket!
Three hits!
The referee blew the whistle and the ball also caused Marion's foul.
Marion thought he was about to collapse and stood there with his arms on his hips for a long time without speaking.
When Nowitzki came over and patted Marion's shoulder to comfort him, Marion shook his head and said, "He was just laughing, he was laughing...damn, it's ugly."
