Chapter 553: You don't have to look at the basket

The half did not finish, everyone knows that this round of the Western Conference finals is indeed a high level.
Anyway, it's much higher than the Clippers' opening.
Moreover, the two sides have not really opened, and they are both in the tentative stage.
For example, Li Liang, under the circumstances that he feels very good, he still doesn't get bored by himself.
You have to change to the old one, and don’t let the ball go on the belt.
Li Liang is making full use of his defensive appeal, as much as possible for his teammates.
Even though there have been several mistakes, Li Liang is still passing, assisting and coping.
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not good enough. From this point of view, the Clippers' coach is not so much Rivers as Li Liang.
It was he who led the Clippers' offensive and defensive rhythm, fighting against Popovich.
During the pause, Li Liang's hair dryer opened wide, and he blew towards the teammate and Laoli.
Rivers is blinded. Are you coach or me?
Without saying a few words, Rivers listened to the communication between Li Liang and Paul, and ordered the tactics to his teammates.
Before coming to the court, Li Liang kept cuddling around Odom.
Odom played well in the semi-finals, but in the Western Conference finals it was significantly more difficult.
His fast ball counterattack was unable to play, and was suppressed by the Spurs' meticulous defensive formation and extremely fast retreat.
"You can try to play a low post, increase the offense of the post, and have two rebounds. Reduce the counterattack, don't run away blindly."
Li Liang reminded Odom to abandon his play in the semifinals and use new ideas to deal with the Spurs.
The Blazers are far less defensive than the Spurs, so Odom can fight chaotically and use his height and dribble to impact opponents.
The Spurs are different. Odom is not as good at speed and bounce, so he must play smarter.
For example, learn from the fat man Boris Dior on the opposite side.
After the timeout, Odom first sat on the bench to rest, Griffin returned to the field.
In the last half of the second quarter, the two sides continue to fight.
As soon as he played, Tony Parker and Chris Paul played each other.
Parker and Duncan pick and roll in the high position, Paul tried to squeeze through, but did not squeeze past, reached out to grab Parker.
As a result, Parker fell to the ground, and Paul followed, staggering, to the ground, a feeling of being knocked down by Duncan.
Duncan looked dumbfounded, staring left and right, and then the referee, as if he didn't know what happened.
The referee still made a judgement that Paul had fouled.
"Shit!"
Paul scolded, compared to Lillard, Parker is much older.
After this foul, Paul had three fouls in the first half, so he had to take a break.
Rivers replaced Livingston, which is a test for the Clippers offensive organization.
Subsequently, the Spurs re-issued the sideline ball, this time Parker's old tricks repeat, after the pick and roll to the basket, hit Li Liang this point, want to recreate Li Liang foul.
As a result, the shot was disturbed without a hit, and Li Liang did not foul.
After all, it's the Clippers' home. Are you fouled by the opponent's foul?
However, Livingston counterattacked the ball and made a mistake after passing into the basket.
The Clippers made a lot of mistakes in the first half.
The Spurs did not let much, let pass a long half, Leonard wanted to give the basket, but was cut off by Griffin!
The ball was given to Li Liang. Li Liang quickly killed half of the game and used Jordan's pick-and-roll cover to wipe into the three-second zone.
Li Liang really wiped it in, not rushed in, rushed in.
He was not fast, carefully controlled the pace, not too deep, and at the same time paid attention to Leonard behind him.
Duncan was watching Li Liang in the three-second zone while being careful to pass the ball to the little Jordan behind him.
Duncan was a man after all, Li Liang saw the timing, suddenly stopped his jumper, and leaned forward slightly to avoid Leonard's block behind him.
Two hits!
41:42, the Clippers successfully overtake!
Li Liang still missed a goal, maintaining a 100% shooting percentage.
Immediately after that, the Clippers defended the Spurs for another 24 seconds.
Li Liang organized the team to make a perfect rotation on the defensive end, always maintaining an advantage in the number of people on the ball side.
No matter how the Spurs pass, there is no way to find a good mobile phone meeting.
Finally, when Belinelli shot from the outside, the time was up.
This is an opportunity for the Clippers to build an advantage.
Li Liang immediately realized this, he quickly passed the half with the ball, in the high position using the double screen of Jordan and Griffin to enter the three-second zone, and stopped the jump shot again near the top of the arc!
This time he used [Caselle's smile], and with Tim Duncan's interference, he shot in.
And Duncan looked dumbfounded again. He looked at Li Liangdao: "How come you laugh so ugly?"
"Shut up! It's none of your business!" Li Liang interrupted Duncan and ran back to his head, pretending to return quickly.
In fact, the Spurs didn't fight back quickly. Why did you run so fast?
Although ugly and humiliating, it is always good to be able to score.
The Spurs' defense against the middle distance was still slightly weak, and Li Liang was easily given the opportunity.
The Clippers' momentum has been fully up.
Ginobili pushed Livingston into the basket and as a result, Livingston did not lose his position. Ginobili wanted to force a shot and was volleyed by a small volleyball cap from the back of the small Jordan who was assisted by the back!
Staples Center was full of joy, and Jordan roared towards the audience!
Li Liang is still calm, "Don't scream! Good defense, the ball is still the opponent's!"
The Spurs serve and give Parker on the wing. Parker misses a three-pointer.
But Leonard grabbed the offensive rebound and dribble out, eating Barnes with his back.
Barnes failed to withstand, Leonard turned back and forth with a beautiful back, grabbed the ball with one hand and was thrown out by Jordan.
But the ball was clearly falling and the referee whistle and interfered with the ball.
Li Liang sighed, and little Jordan was far inferior to Duncan at this point.
Although Duncan would not have such a big volleyball cap, he not only defended his opponents every time, but also controlled the ball.
Although the cap is so enjoyable like Jordan, he finally let the opponent score.
And it was still a moment of excitement, disturbing the points the ball gave to the opponent. If it did not interfere with the ball, it would only interfere with Leonard's shot, and it would not necessarily score.
Little Jordan is still too tender.
The Clippers were suddenly about to blow out.
At this time, Popovich started playing tricks again.
This Lao Yinbi saw that the Clippers team, the shortest board of IQ cask is Jordan!
Popovich immediately arranged for the player to foul Jordan Jr. and cut Jordan Jr. tactics!
As a result, Jordan went to the free throw line to live up to expectations and missed two free throws.
Then, Leonard counterattacked against Li Liang's defense and hit a mid-range jumper!
"Damn, copy me?"
Li Liang is also a big talker. Does anyone's fast break jumper just copy you?
Did Wu Yanzu also copy you?
The Spurs turned the score over again.
The Spurs who have tasted the sweetness will certainly not let go of the tactics of continuing to cut Joe.
Just after halftime, Parker blocked Jordan and hugged him, fouling.
For the Clippers with many free throw masters, Jordan's free throws really came to lower the average.
Li Liang usually taught Jordan a free throw while training, but it turned out to be useless, but it was even more inaccurate.
So it's better to let him find it out, or let a professional shooting coach think about it.
This time Jordan Jr. made two free throws and the two sides made a 45:45 draw.
More than a minute before the end of the second quarter.
During the timeout, Popovich replaced Duncan and replaced the fat Dior.
The Spurs launched a quick offense. Dior held the ball directly at the high post to break through the basket. Under Griffin and Jordan Jr., he missed a shot.
But Fat Dior actually got the offensive rebound, and before he could not control his balance, tiptoe before the bottom line was about to fly out, a second behind was passed to the following Split.
Splitter succeeded in catching a dunk with both hands!
The Spurs' ability to extinguish fires is also really powerful.
And Popovich refused to close, but still continue to cut Jordan!
Damn, are you finished? Should we play again?
Should the audience watch the ball? Do TV stations broadcast advertisements?
Regardless of Popovich, he has made up his mind to let the Clippers' first half offensive on the free throw line.
Jordan missed the first penalty and missed it. He was in a hurry.
He knew that the only way he didn't want to stand on this free throw line was to make a free throw.
The Spurs won't foul anymore if they get a penalty.
But the more you think about it, the more you won't be fined.
The second penalty was still missed.
But the ball collapsed a bit far, Li Liang suddenly burst out, between Split and Leonard, grabbed the ball!
Li Liang scored the ball and rushed to the rim in one step, which caused Leonard's defensive foul and a free throw.
Li Liang's free throw is not the same as Jordan Jr., who is the player with the highest free throw percentage in the league this season.
Li Liang stood on the free throw line and took the ball from the referee. Then instead of looking at the basket, he turned to stare at the Spurs coach Popovich standing on the sidelines.
Free throw shot.
Li Liang tilted his head and threw the ball out!
"Uh!"
Hit.
Li Liang showed Popovich his hand, then took the ball from the referee, took two shots, and turned his head to look at Popovich...
Popovich is speechless~EbookFREE.me~ Why does this guy just look at me if he doesn't look at the basket?
Li Liang just wanted to stare at Popovich, and then he didn't idle, easily shot, and hit the free throw again!
Four years at Li Liang University, the most practiced is free throws.
Coupled with his invincible mentality, it is the same for him to look at the basket and turn his head!
He just wanted to tell Popovich that you can play tricks on me, I'm not Jordan, I can throw the ball in without looking at the basket!
Li Liang's missed free throws calmed Popovich and the Spurs players.
Subsequently, Mills missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the Spurs did not use the tactic of chopping Jordan in the Clippers' last attack.
Rivers replaced Odom and replaced Li Liang.
Odom received a pass from Livingston in the low post, backed singles Dior, and a left-handed shot after the back turn helped the Clippers to 49:47 in the first half, leading the Spurs by two points and entering the halftime break.
