Chapter 294 The coach who will not adjust

Judging from the summer league, Li Liang's extremely long-distance three-pointer has become his repertoire.

Before Li Liang, he had only encountered one such ball in many games, and it was all lucky balloons.

Often, it is absolutely necessary and there is no time to make such a choice.

Li Liang is different. He trades distance for space. The further he goes, the more relaxed he shoots, and the higher the shooting rate.

What a weird thing.

This emergency stop and three-pointer shot after passing the midfield directly fooled the Clippers.

In the playoffs, are you still an individual score in this kind of three-pointer?

However, Li Liang has been not a human being on the court for a long time.

After a break from the court, Mike Brown had no doubt about Li Liang's willful throwing blindly.

Just enter. If you can throw the ball from the backcourt, Mike Brown will definitely set up a tactic for Li Liang.

Make him a personal wall in the backcourt, and then let Li Liang throw the ball out comfortably.

This ball hit the Clippers' morale a lot. After the timeout came back, the Clippers players were obviously a little embarrassed.

A truly strong team can control their emotions and strive to win no matter what kind of difficulties they face or what kind of magical performance their opponents perform.

When a hypocritical strong team saw their opponents playing in a scattered way and scored a few magical balls, they first doubted themselves, and then they burst into pieces.

The previous example, like the Knicks in 1970, was equalized by West's ultra-long three-pointer, but he could still grit his teeth and win the game.

The following example is the Lakers. In 2008, the Celtics reversed and became unable to play and doubted their lives.

This is how the Clippers are now, and they are suspected of being a player by Li Liang's operation.

Back on the court, the Clippers players were obviously confused on their faces, including Chris Paul himself.

How did you play this ball? I tried my best to play, so why did it turn out like this?

Since the first Los Angeles derby in the regular season, the Clippers have been trying to compete with the Lakers with all their might.

But every time I fight, I find that I can't beat it.

The lineup clearly looks good, although the Lakers are more famous, they are all older.

The core players of the Clippers are all young and strong, and the substitute beats the Lakers, but they can't beat them as a result.

If Li Liang knew about the Clippers players, coaches and fans’ distress, he would definitely tell them with mercy that the answer is that you are missing me!

In this NBA, you don’t have a good forward player and want to keep winning in the playoffs? It’s just a dream.

There will be no suspense in the next game.

The Clippers tried to struggle, but it was undoubtedly futile.

The experienced Lakers controlled the situation on the field and dragged the pace very slowly, not allowing the Clippers to speed up and chase points.

Kobe entered the state of "the team leads, I start to score points", and made consecutive jump shots at the horn position.

Of course Paul did not give up. He did it himself on the outside and hit three-pointers in a row, narrowing the gap to 10 points at one point.

But Paul's biggest flaw was exposed at this time. After continuous shots, his firepower could not be continued.

Although he is an excellent scorer, he is not a player like Kobe or James who can score 15 points and 20 points in a row without others being useful.

He is a point guard, and he still needs to pass the ball and organize it.

183's height limits him. When Kobe and Li Liang join forces to surround Paul, Paul can only pass the ball.

And the teammates failed to hit that damn three-pointer.

If it were Kobe, he would throw the ball even if he had five people around him.

The fourth quarter ended in a tug-of-war between the two sides, and the Lakers defeated the Clippers in the first game with an advantage of 98:90 and 8 points.

When the Lakers came to the playoffs, they suddenly felt like they had finished their work, revealing the appearance of a championship.

After the game, on the forum and on Twitter, there were posts and remarks from the Lakers, Li Liang and Kobe.

What kind of person should be trustworthy? If you say "fo,fo" then "fo".

What tells you who is the real king of Los Angeles.

Li Liang didn't read any of these remarks, so he wouldn't be able to watch the forum after the competition, and even opened a small entourage to argue with others.

After taking a shower, he refused the reporters' interview, and Li Liang left Stamps and went home.

In Li Liang's opinion, there is no problem with talking before the game. This is part of the game, psychological warfare.

It would be boring to put down the wrong side after the game. The game is over, so you should look at the next game.

As long as Negro is not a fool, the Clippers will make adjustments to target the Lakers and Li Liang.

Even McHale will make targeted adjustments.

However, Li Liang still looked up to some of the NBA coaches.

After a day off, on May 10, the Clippers and the Lakers played in the second match.

After experiencing the fragile defeat in the last game, Negro did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup and still allowed Billups to start.

When Li Liang saw the start of the Clippers, he laughed in his heart.

In the first round of the Rockets, McHale also knew that in the second game, he changed the starting lineup and allowed Beverly to replace Smith who was ineffective.

Negro seems to trust Billups very much, after all, this is the finals VP in 2004 and has rich experience in the playoffs.

However, Billups is already 36 years old. Although the Lakers Nash is 38, Nash is in good shape.

After taking the bruising and injury medicine given by Li Liang, he was not troubled by injuries throughout the season.

After playing the next game, we accumulate energy into the playoffs and begin to show the style of the veteran.

Billups didn't do it. He missed most games in the Clippers due to injury last season and only played 22 games in the regular season.

This season is even worse. I only played 20 games due to injury, and my average score was cut in half, falling from 15 points to 8 points.

If Negro joins Barnes, Li Liang thinks the Clippers can still save them.

No matter what, Barnes is really difficult.

If Billups were 5 years younger, the Lakers would encounter big trouble in the backcourt, but injuries would make the veterans no longer stand out.

Negro paid the price for his employment.

In the first quarter of the second game, the Lakers played the Clippers 35:23.

The Lakers are in full bloom, with Li Liang, Kobe, Ci Shiping, Howard and Nash all scored.

Their positional offense was completely opened in the playoffs, while the Clippers' defense was full of loopholes.

Throughout the season, the Clippers have not trained a decent defensive system.

Because one problem faced by the Clippers is that the toughest player in the team's defense is their 183-year-old point guard...

The point guard is the lowest input-output ratio in the defense. Even if Gary Payton comes, he cannot support a team's defense.

With the Lakers' outside shooting ability so strong, how could the Clippers' defense line leaking everywhere put pressure on the Lakers?

Everyone is still looking forward to the Clippers' second game to win the favor at Stamps, but they didn't know that after the first half, the Clippers were more than ten points behind.

"The Clippers' defense did not put any pressure on the Lakers. Didn't they make any adjustments? Billups' performance was disastrous."

The commentator couldn't stand it anymore. This was a good Los Angeles derby, so the fight was not intense at all.

Billups made 0 of 4 shots from the outside in the first half, and several of them were unpreserved open positions, but they couldn't make any shots.

I can only say that I am really old and I can’t use my legs, and the balls I throw are always short.

During the halftime break, Negro lost his temper with the players in the locker room. He felt that the players did not do their best to defend on the court, giving the Lakers too many mobile phones to the outside.

The Clippers players were silent. This is not the first time Negro has lost his temper in the locker room like this.

As long as the team loses, Negro will be furious.

But this is NBA, not a university, the players will not feel guilty or fearful because you lose your temper, and then go and play well.

They just feel that this coach is incompetent.

In the third quarter, the Clippers were Paul leading the way to catch up again, scoring a few points in a row, and then starting to pass the ball.

The Lakers were Nash, Li Liang, and Kobe.

Seeing that Negro had no tricks, he started to expand the rotation again.

In this game, he expanded the rotation to 12 points. Anyone who had good legs and feet on the bench would be sent to take a walk for two laps.

Sima is a living person, maybe which point breaks out?

This mentality is almost the same as some fans. Seeing that a player is not good at playing, he shouts, "Why not go to xxx?"

When the coach really got into xxx, he found that it was not as good as before.

Negro is almost the same as an ordinary fan in employed people.

There is no doubt that he has lost enough control over his players.

Although the players still tried their best on the court, there was no tacit understanding and trust between each other.

The TV station has begun to release the appearance of sentient beings on the Clippers bench.

Look at those faces, they were once amazing talents, Billups, Grant Hill, Odom, Butler, and Turiav.

But it did not play its due role in the Clippers.

113:101, the Lakers finally won another game at home, leading the Clippers 2:0 with a big score.

In the next game, the Clippers' home court will be played at Stamps!

This is a death-taking. The saying of home games is like away games. The away crematorium will be perfectly fulfilled by the Clippers.
