Chapter 536: About fear

Li Liang didn't have time to go into the details of what the system rewarded him. After the award ceremony, the game was about to begin.
In this game, Li Liang must win. He doesn't want himself to take the MVP like David Robinson, and then be beaten up by opponents sitting on the field.
The Clippers won the first game very easily, but some of them might be too nervous to adapt to the rhythm of the semifinals.
After all, the first round of playing rockets is a bit of a play, the process is very intense, but in essence it is rookies pecking each other.
In this regard, the Clippers would like to thank the Lone Ranger.
The Lone Ranger is ranked eighth and swept by the Clippers, but the quality of the four games is actually very high.
Carlisle is well prepared in all aspects. The only thing that is insufficiently prepared is the underestimation of Li Liang’s outbreak.
It looks like the Rockets and Harden next door, but in the playoffs, their legs slipped softly.
After experiencing the first beating, the Blazers understood that they had to change their defensive strategy and strengthen their defense against Li Liang.
Li Liang himself knew that the Blazers would definitely take care of themselves.
Xinke MVP, the Blazers must want to give Li Liang a chance to get back to the spot.
After the award ceremony, Li Liang returned the trophy to the dressing room, then returned to the stadium to take off his sportswear, and the game was about to begin.
The lineup of the two sides has not changed from the previous game.
At the beginning of the game, Jordan still took the lead in jumping the ball. The success rate of jumping this season is really amazing.
Unlike the last game, the Clippers gave Li Liang the first main point of the opening game.
The Clippers' first main point of the regular season was always Griffin, and in the playoffs, began to turn into Li Liang and Paul in turns.
The last game was Paul. In this game, Li Liang, Rivers hoped that the two would take turns and not give the Blazers the opportunity to target.
Li Liang received the ball at 45 degrees on the left, facing Batum's defense, Jordan Jr. came over to pick the screen.
After the screen, Li Liang shot directly outside the three-point line on the left and hit!
At the opening goal, Li Liang made a three-pointer!
This simple combination of tactics became more common in the playoffs.
In the regular season, Li Liang seldom uses this kind of trick to directly pull out after covering.
Because he won't!
His strong three-point shot is not enough, only 40 points, and the shooting rate is relatively low.
So for this move of his, every team has no precautions and no research.
Unexpectedly, after the start of the playoffs, Li Liang used this trick very sharply.
Li Liang made full use of his wingspan, shot height, and defensive weakness in the opponent's inside.
In the last round against the Lone Ranger, the guy who came out as a cover was mainly Griffin, because Griffin brought the defense to Nowitzki.
This round against the Trail Blazers, the person who came out as a cover was mainly Jordan Jr., and the guy brought out by Jordan Jr. was Robin Lopez.
The two big men's ability to block defense is relatively weak, the speed is too slow, Li Liang has more time to make a three-point shot.
Of course, after scoring, Batum complained to the referee, thinking that Jordan had moved the ball to cover, otherwise he would have squeezed out long ago and would not give Li Liang a three-point shot.
The referee shook his head and ignored it. Although Jordan did have a suspicion of mobile cover, it was only a suspicion.
Here is Staples, and the first goal in the opening, the referee will not be so tight.
Batum felt uneasy and could only hold back temporarily, then Batum immediately caught the ball, and Lopez also came in a pick-and-roll cooperation.
Lopez quickly and steadily went down, then received Batum's ground pass and layup, was fouled by Jordan Jr.
The Trail Blazers have also changed on the offensive end tonight. Perhaps they have already felt in the first game that free throws are the best way to score.
The Trail Blazers made a terrible three-point shot in the last game, scoring 1 in the first half, and scoring two more in the second half when there was no suspense in the game.
This made Stotts realize that it is impossible to rely purely on outside shooting.
First, the inside line must be opened.
We must try our best to score first in the paint to create killing.
Lopez made two free throws, and the Blazers never stopped scoring for a long time like the last game.
Then Barnes missed a mid-range jumper, the Blazers Matthews did not make a golden rooster independent, counterattacked Li Liang to catch the ball and hit the basket, and an emergency stop jumper hit in the three seconds area!
Shinco MVP's condition tonight is really good.
Li Liang's status is not so bad, just take the MVP to iron, how bad.
But Lillard quickly hit a three-pointer in return.
The two sides had a 9:9 draw in the first three minutes, and the Trail Blazers were clearly better off tonight.
You come and go on both sides, playing back and forth, making people believe that the Blazers will not be as bad as the first game tonight.
The two sides played another iron for more than one minute. Paul grabbed the ball from Lillard in a defense. In the counterattack, Paul chose a mid-range jumper, but the result did not enter...
Tonight Paul's opening three mid-range jumpers didn't hit. It seems that Li Liang sucked away Paul's touch.
Jordan, however, struggled to grab an offensive rebound in the paint and returned the ball to Paul.
Paul took the ball to the basket and passed it to Li Liang, who was ambushed in the corner after a layup fake.
This is Li Liang's point. On the left corner, he has a shooting rate of more than 60%. He catches the ball and shoots, hitting a three-pointer!
The Temples Center was thunderous and the Blazers began to feel the pressure.
The Blazers' strategy hasn't changed, fight in.
However, Lopez did not hit a difficult hook on the left hand of the basket, and he still missed the second attack by grabbing the rebound.
Li Liang got the rebound in the backcourt and held the ball for half time. After continuously dribbling the ball and using the speed to pass Batum, Li Liang shot into the basket and slammed a one-handed dunk!
Staples broke out at once, and Stotts saw a bad form, called a timeout, and called a timeout.
In more than five minutes, Li Liang made four of four shots, including two three-pointers and scored 10 points.
This guy scores really fast, and it's hard to get a low score in a team like the Clippers that is based on fast offense.
Reggie Miller, who commented on the sidelines, mentioned, "I thought Bruce Lee would become a yellow-skinned Scott Pippen, but I didn't expect him to be an extremely smart super scorer."
Reggie Miller used the word alert to describe Li Liang as very appropriate.
Because many of Li Liang's scoring is not from a strong attack, even he has almost no strong attack.
He scored points, and felt that it was okay to change to another person, but to change to another person, he couldn't catch so many opportunities.
Miller's wording is both praise and implicit criticism.
Because in the playoffs, there are not always so many opportunities for you to catch, many times you have to create your own.
Some players seem not to score particularly high per game, but no one questioned their offensive power and importance in offense.
For example, Tim Duncan, some opportunities should let him give up, because the score effect of changing another person is the same; and some opportunities are useless to others, thinking that there is no chance at all, and he has to create by himself.
Miller believes that Li Liang's current ability is still insufficient. "If they continue to move forward, the Clippers will inevitably encounter some trouble."
Miller's vision is still very accurate, but the inaccurate thing is that he still underestimated Li Liang's energy.
Of course, facing the Blazers now, Li Liang is enough to make Stotts headache.
After the timeout, it was time for Griffin to rest and Li Liang came to the power forward position.
Once on the field, Lillard chose to break through the basket forcibly. As a result, Li Liang's blockade was bad. The whole person flew out of the bottom line without fouling. The ball also went out of the boundary. It was the Blazers' right.
Once Li Liang joined the inside defense, the Clippers' inside defense level has improved by one grade.
He and Jordan's defensive cooperation is really very good.
The Blazers should actually make changes at this time, and they should no longer attack the inside.
Sure enough, the bottom line served and this time Batum went around 45 degrees to the left.
The high-ranking Matthews received the ball and gave it to Batum. Batum made a three-pointer and hit the ball!
In the last game, Batum scored 4 points under the influence of Li Liang. He also stole 4 points without suspense in the future.
This game finally eased up, hitting a three-pointer, not to make another three-pointer.
Subsequently, Crawford missed a jumper and the Blazers countered.
After a series of collaborations, it turned out that Robin Lopezla went out to vote for a middle distance and went in!
The Blazers equalized in the middle of the first quarter.
Rivers immediately called a timeout, he felt the team needs to make some adjustments.
Rivers doesn't want this game to get into a fight, the Clippers should still make a quick decision at home to gain an advantage as soon as possible.
Once at a critical moment, to be honest, the Clippers such a fast offensive team may not have an absolute advantage.
The Trail Blazers' ability to fight back at the last minute of the first round was impressive.
Since you are good at countering the Jedi at the last moment, then simply don't give you the chance to fight back again.
After the suspension, the two sides fell into chaos for more than two minutes.
Paul still missed a shot, and today Paul's feel was so bad that it exploded.
The Blazers also wanted to play Lopez, and Li Liang blocked Li Liang again in the first quarter with two blocks.
Then Crawford missed a layup and the Trail Blazers made an offensive pass error. Batum's ball came across the bridge and went out of bounds.
Both sides want to play more energy in the offense, but the energy seems to be overdone and seems irritable.
This situation did not change until the end of the first quarter after the second lineup of the two sides debuted.
But the Clippers' attack tonight is obviously not as sharp as the last game, UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com Li Liang scored a lot, but no one else opened.
Paul, in particular, had a break from the first quarter. He scored 1 of 6 and scored two points, plus three assists.
Like Barnes and Jordan, the score is zero, relying on Li Liang to score alone.
This Clipper is not the strongest Clipper.
The Trail Blazers are piecemeal. You scored one goal, and the highest score was Robin Lopez, which is also not normal.
Neither Adelaide nor Lillard opened up, but the Blazers like this.
Stotts believes that, like many commentators and coaches, Stotts believes that Li Liang cannot beat a team alone.
This kind of prejudice hasn't changed since Li Liang got the MVP. After all, he is still a second-year rookie.
It is difficult to implant such things into your heart without fear of something special.
