Mike Brown's life is also difficult.

Losing Li Liang and Kobe's two thighs one after another, the Lakers' offense and defense collapsed in half at once.

The gap between Nick Yang and Li Liang in defense is too big, Howard has not fully recovered, Nash is one year older, and Ci Shiping continues to be inaccurate.

This game is really unmatchable.

The Lakers played stumblingly in the preseason, losing all the way, and finally won two games.

Because the Lakers are the defending champions, even if they meet in the preseason, other teams will use all their strength to fight.

The Lakers, who lacked two generals, could not beat them before. Their face was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Of course, the outside world is still very expecting from the Lakers, after all, it is the preseason.

Only Mike Brown, as the team's head coach, knows clearly that the Lakers are at the end of their strength and are in rags.

The salary space is completely blocked, and there is no chance of strengthening.

Mike Brown wanted to sigh on the bench. He missed Li Liang so much, and his passion when he was on the team.

If Li Liang was there, he would be beaten 8:o at the beginning and he would definitely be scolded on the bench.

As soon as he scolded, the whole team became energetic.

Without him scolding, I always feel that I can't get excited.

After a short pause of 2o seconds, Mike Brown made a little arrangement and adjustment, and moved the offensive center of gravity away from Howard.

After the timeout, the Lakers played a tactic.

A free throw from the sideline, Nick Young used the cover to receive Nash's pass, and made a mid-range jump shot from the bottom side on the right.

The Lakers finally scored.

The Clippers' offensive strategy has also been fine-tuned.

Paul was scolded by Li Liang, and he decided to lead the attack by himself.

Paul was in possession of the ball at a high position, and Griffin and Jordan Jr. came up to make double covers.

Paul held the ball and cut from the middle, but it was not fast, and did not destroy the Lakers' defense, and instead passed the ball to Griffin, who cut the ball.

Ci Shiping kept a close eye on Griffin, but the pick-and-roll cooperation was not good.

But Griffin faced Ci Shiping's defense and made two points with a difficult jump shot.

Griffin started with a pretty good feel.

This is also what Rivers arranged at the beginning of the first quarter.

Griffin is now the team's third offensive point, so at the beginning, the defense was at its weakest, and he opened up to play.

Li Liang and Paul can support and pass the ball more easily.

When it was time to need it later, Li Liang and Paul opened fire again.

Rivers's little abacus is also a terrifying move.

Subsequently, Ci Shiping violated the rules on the offensive end.

The Clippers got another offensive opportunity. Paul entered the basket from the left and slid the bottom line, passing the ball to Li Liang who was ambushed at the bottom corner.

Li Liang received the ball and made a three-pointer!

The first three-pointer of the season!

Unfortunately, Li Liangxin thought, what kind of ball Paul passed by, the rhythm was not good at all.

Li Liang couldn't make a comeback, but he blamed Paul for not being able to make a comeback.

The Lakers got the backcourt rebound, and Nash took the ball to the basket, but was blocked by Jordan Jr. who returned to defense.

It's really hard for the Lakers to score now.

In the counterattack, Paul passed the ball to Jordan Jr. Jordan Jr. dunked with one hand!

1o:2, the Clippers continue to maintain their lead.

The Lakers vaguely feel like they are about to collapse at the beginning.

Sure enough, in the next attack, Nick Young missed a three-pointer with the ball.

Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Paul, and the Clippers had another chance to counterattack.

Li Liang rushed to 45 degrees on the right, and Paul's pass came.

This time, Li Liang first made a fake move to catch up with Nick Yang Huangfei, and then made a three-pointer from the open space.

Absolutely empty, unattended, three-pointer hit!

After scoring the goal, Li Liang himself breathed a sigh of relief and opened, and the new season was opened.

The first ball is very important. The earlier you come, the more meaningful it is to build confidence for a shooter.

After a summer, many players' shooting percentages on the court will fluctuate.

Some people will become more accurate in their three points, while others will experience a sharp decline.

In addition to training, it is also related to the players' own physical and psychological states.

Some players' physical exercises are too harsh in summer, or changes in the team's environment, or changes in their opponent's defensive strategies, which will lead to fluctuations in the long shot shooting rate.

Li Liang made a very high three-point shooting percentage last season, and even made a miraculous three-pointer in the finals.

In the new season, the opponent will definitely take targeted and strictly guarded.

At the same time, Li Liang himself has added pass and ball control training, and his three-point training and maintenance are definitely not as good as last season.

He had a premonition that his three-point shooting percentage would decline slightly, and the goal he set was to drop by only 3 percentage points.

Maintained above 46% three-point shooting percentage.

Others are probably going to be scared to death when they hear this target. A 46% shooting percentage? This is the two-point shooting percentage of some people.

Moreover, Li Liang will never have so many empty spots to play mobile phones this season. He will face a lot of close-fitting defense, and at the same time, the number of three-point shots and hits must be maintained at a certain amount.

46%, quite considerable.

But his three-pointers of 49% last season were close to 5o%, which was really terrible.

Kobe couldn't do this three-pointer off the court.

He started to stand up and shouted, "Press him, stick him, don't let go!"

This ball is only Nick Yang, who was stunned and jumped up to interfere. If he had a more experienced player, he would definitely not jump and put on defense.

13:2, when Nash saw that the team could not attack, he had to come by himself.

After he broke through in the middle, he rode a horse and shot an archer, and made a jump shot from close range.

Nash needed to score so early, and the Lakers' offense was really helpless.

Then Griffin played a pick-and-roll with Li Liang at the high position. After Li Liang attracted the two of them to defend, he passed the ball to Griffin.

Griffin took a step inside the three-point line, made a mid-range jump shot, and hit two points!

Desperate, it turns out that Li Liang can cooperate with Griffin as a pick-and-roll!

Li Liang and Griffin pick-and-roll, both of them are tall and big, and it is difficult for you to block them.

And the Lakers can no longer care about so many things now, it’s important to score first!

Nash accelerated the offensive rhythm and rushed to the basket after a fast ball in the backcourt. After attracting the Clippers' defense, he passed the ball to Howard who followed behind. Howard dunked with both hands!

Li Liang is going to curse this ball again.

"Sound it, do you keep an eye on people? Keep a close eye on them! Let others wipe your butt, something happens!"

Paul was not focused enough when he was staring at Nash, and Nash tore through the first line of defense.

Jordan Jr. had to come up to help defend, but it was empty later.

Paul didn't speak, but his face was full of unhappiness.

He was obviously much ahead, but he still got scolded.

But Li Liang scolded him very well, and this ball was indeed his responsibility.

In the Clippers for two years, now in the third year, Paul has always been swearing.

The situation is different now. In the first quarter of the first game, I just played for half of the time and was almost scolded to death.

Never suffered so much grievance.

Paul immediately responded and organized a beautiful position attack.

He took advantage of Griffin and Li Liang's attraction on the offensive end and finally sent the ball to Caron Butler.

Butler hit a three-pointer from the outside!

18:4!

The Clippers' offensive efficiency at the beginning was amazingly high and terrifying.
