At the end of the first half, the Lakers were 6 points behind the Suns 44:50.

From the game against the Kings and Suns, the two weak teams, it can be seen that when Kobe and Gasol are absent from the core points of tactical points, the Lakers' offense relies specifically on outside fixed-point jump shots.

If the outside is accurate, this game will be easy to play, and the inside can give Howard space.

If the outside line is inaccurate, the game will be difficult and the opponent will tighten the tighter the more you shrink.

Howard's ability to attack is already very poor, but in the end it is a disgusting cycle.

Mike Brown originally thought that he would use Li Liang's point to crack the opponent's defensive strategy and drive the outside attack.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Li Liang's three-pointer was inaccurate again.

In the last game, Li Liang missed a rare three-pointer, and made 0 of 3 shots in the first half of the game, and he lost zero again.

However, Brown did not blame Li Liang. For a pitcher, it was normal for him to fluctuate his touch.

Li Liang takes such a great responsibility on the defensive end, and recently all teams have begun to study Li Liang's offensive routines, and it is normal for three-point shooting percentage to decline, which is unstable.

However, he would have hooked up in the last game, but he wouldn't have it today?

Did I let him learn to hook up?

Brown emphasized tactics during the intermission while thinking and wondering in his mind.

Not only was he confused, but Li Liang was also confused.

Logically speaking, he is in good condition today and he is very energetic.

The one who chases the hat at the beginning can be seen.

Although it has interfered with the ball, the speed of chasing and the jumping height proved that he was full of vitality.

But three three-pointers were shot, and they felt something was wrong as soon as they were shot.

It seems that this [Kodinger's box] has some sequelae.

If you adjust it in one day, you should be able to adjust it.

But back to back, there was no time to adjust, so it must be the disorder of his ability value, which affected his feelings.

It seems that you should be more cautious when using this thing in the future.

The spicy chicken props have some side effects. I am afraid I would like to remind Li Liang not to rely too much on props.

Of course, Li Liang's mentality is still very stable.

It's just 0 shots from 3. What's so great about it? I thought I dare not make a shot?

As a shooter, Li Liang has absolute confidence in his shooting.

He believed that he would definitely be able to regain his feelings in the second half.

...

At the beginning of the third quarter, the seats at the American Airlines Center were sparse.

Suns ball rights, Dragic dribbled through half the game.

The Suns home court has been transformed in the past two years, and the floor has changed from the purple-orange phoenix logo in the past to a suns in the middle now.

This revision was a huge failure. In the past, both Sun Basketball and Phoenix were very beautiful and represented a glory of the Sun.

Now, there is a suns subtitle in the middle for no reason. Although it is very symmetrical, who would care about this?

And put the word "day" in the center of the floor, and you will feel stupid no matter how you look at it.

No wonder there are fewer and fewer Suns fans at the scene. The ball is not good and the stadium is getting ugly.

Dragic has a Nash-like charm in his playing style. He dribbles around the Lakers' three-point line, looking for opportunities.

He wanted to pass the ball to Tucker who cut in, but was intercepted by Li Liang.

Li Liang's judgment was still accurate. Tucker cut in and played twice in the first half.

It's no matter how many things are, and you won't let you cut the inside so easily and make layups.

The Lakers' defense is good, but the offense is not scored.

Nash took the ball and hit the ball to Mix who was about to get off the ball. Mix directly jumped on the wing and missed it!

"Damn, you shoot at a fast break, why don't you lay it off?" Li Liang followed behind and saw Meeks hitting the iron and started spraying again.

Mix is ​​shady.

I used to play the Pacers, and I was blocked with a fast break layup. Didn’t you tell me I should shoot?

Why did it change again today and make me layup again?

Meeks is so naive. Do you think Li Liang wants to guide you?

He just wants to scold you. As long as you don't enter, he will always have a way to scold you.

This counterattack failed and gave the Sun a chance.

Dragic dribbled the ball and broke through with the ball, and made a layup directly.

His breakthrough was not fast, but he was very flexible and rhythmic, and he was left-handed, which made the defender a little uncomfortable.

After scoring this goal, the Suns did not play smoothly on the offensive end, and the Lakers' defense still made them feel uncomfortable.

Especially Li Liang, he made various steals and made up for the position tonight.

But the problem is that the Lakers' offense is really bad, giving the Suns too much quick counterattack and the opportunity to gain a foothold.

In the third quarter, the Suns scored 22 points, a score that was not high.

But the Lakers were even worse, scoring only 16 points and making 1 of 7 three-pointers from the outside!

Among them, Li Liang failed to hit two trial shots, which made him very annoyed.

At the end of the third quarter, Li Liang sat on the bench and wondered whether to use props in the fourth quarter?

The score between the two sides has become 60:72, and the Lakers are 12 points behind.

Li Liang made 0 of 5 three-pointers. He thought to himself, after completing the task of "Bryant's heir" last time, is he really going to become Kobe?

It’s okay to become Kobe. Take the essence and remove the dross. Why are you just learning the dross?

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Mike Brown put Li Liang and Howard on the bench and continued to send a substitute.

It seems that the substitute lineup will play for a while, but if it doesn't work, just give up.

After all, there is no pressure on the record, and the old players are very tired after being back to back.

Jamison has cast two or three tonight, which is obviously a physical problem.

Nash's mistakes reached 4 times, which is very rare. If he really can't beat him, then he won't beat him.

As a result, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides were in a stalemate.

On the Suns, Beasley missed a single from a low post, and the Suns grabbed the frontcourt rebound, but Scola still didn't make the game.

The Lakers fought back, Jamison missed the hook in the low post.

Suns, outside Wes Johnson missed a three-pointer.

Then, when Howard was stuck in the low position, the referee called an offensive foul.

Both sides performed poor performances on the offensive end. In fact, the Suns did not play well, but the Lakers were even worse.

Mike Brown seemed a little impatient and helpless when he was on the sidelines.

He is waiting. If the team can narrow the gap to within 10 points before 6 minutes, then the game should continue to fight and win.

If the score difference is not narrowed or even expanded within 6 minutes, you can give up.

Save your strength and let Howard and Nash have a good rest.

At this time, Kendal Marshall made a very simple pick-and-roll cooperation with Louis Scola on the outside, and then returned the ball to Scola.

Scola did not block the ball seriously at all, and after disassembling it, he did not actively cut out or cut in, just stood there without moving.

After receiving the ball, he glanced at him and Howard took a jump shot from him two steps away.

The ball hits accurately!

Too bad, the Lakers' defensive spirit in this game has been lost.

Then, Ci Shiping made three-pointers in the outside area, and the Suns were not at all wary of this ball.

The defenders retreated to the middle and wings to prevent Lakers players from cutting in and let Ci Shiping take a three-pointer.

Tonight, Ci Shiping didn't score a three-pointer, and this is of course no exception.

The ball hit the basket's neck, which was not accurate at all.

Scola got a backcourt rebound and Beasley asked for the ball from the low post on the right wing.

The ball was passed to Beasley and was one-on-one with Ci Shiping.

Beasley's singles are still very cool. He took advantage of Ci Shiping's weakness of slow pace and passed Ci Shiping from the bottom line.

Then he went to the basket, under Howard's backup defense, he used a backhand pull rod to hit the board and make a layup!

The goal was played very well, widening the gap between the two sides to 16 points, and also stopping the Lakers.

Mike Brown is about to give up, he replaces Howard, Ci Shiping, and is ready to let Thackeray, Ebanks and others play.

At this time, Li Liang stood up and said, "Mike, let me go."

Brown said: "No, you..."

"Mike!" Li Liang increased the volume.

Mike Brown didn't say no, he nodded and agreed to Li Liang's reappearance.
Chapter completed!
