Last season, in the Lakers, because Kobe was in the same team, the opponent's defense gates at the second and third positions will definitely deal with Kobe.

Not only that, in order to set traps for Kobe, the opponent's outside often double-teams Kobe in advance to assist in defense.

Therefore, Li Liang can get so many good spaces to go out of the mobile phone.

Part of his high shooting percentage and three-pointers are credited to Kobe.

It’s different when it comes to the Clippers. Li Liang himself has become the strongest point on the Clippers’ forward line, so he naturally has to face the strongest defense of his opponent.

Iguodala tried her best to defend in the first quarter, but Li Liang felt so good at the beginning, and he caught the Warriors' loopholes several times.

Starting from the second quarter, Iguodala provided the highest level of defensive care for Li Liang.

Iguodala's defense is really not comparable to Nick Young, and it is even much better than Ci Shiping now, because Ci Shiping is too slow now.

Iguodala is first-class in terms of physical fitness, defensive skills, and defensive awareness.

The Lakers struggled every time they played against the Nuggets last season. At that time, Iguodala's main defense was Kobe.

Now it was Li Liang's turn to get involved with Iguodala one-on-one, and Li Liang gradually realized how difficult it was for Kobe.

First of all, it takes some effort to get rid of Iguodala's entanglement.

In the middle of the second quarter, the pace of the game between the two sides gradually slowed down, and more and more positions were fighting and attacking.

The pace slowed down, and it was not easy for Li Liang to get a mobile phone out with an easy chance.

Once the ball was received, Iguodala would definitely guard against the dead. After Li Liang missed the three-point shot twice, he knew that the touch felt bad and decided to reduce the shots.

Curry caught a long rebound, dribbled the ball and counterattacked. After crossing the half, he took a direct move from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer!

Then, the referee called Li Liang an offensive foul on the offensive end.

Li Liang was whispered to push people when he was with Iguodalaka.

Li Liang was obviously a little anxious by Iguodala's entangled defense.

This time he didn't go to the referee to reason because he knew that he was not calm enough.

He needs to calm down and reassess the situation on the field, and not fall into the opponent's defensive trap and his own emotions.

Then the Warriors cooperated again in a series of cooperation. Iguodala received the ball at the basket, swung Li Liang away with a fake move, and made a layup with a backhand!

The Warriors have already scored 45:40, only 5 points away from the Clippers.

Li Liang undoubtedly entered the Warriors' defensive trap.

Iguodala is outside dealing with Li Liang with the treatment of Kobe.

At the same time, Curry, Thompson, David Lee and others are ready to come forward to assist in defense of Li Liang at any time.

To be honest, Li Liang's ball-holding offense is not as strong as 1-to-2 or 1-to-3, and even a defensive strongman like Iguodala has problems.

Now he can dribble and push fast attacks by himself, or catch the ball and kill the basket in counterattack.

In short, it is okay to fight the opponent by surprise. If he wants to break through and kill or force his positional warfare, he is still a little short of time.

At this time, Li Liang chose to lie dormant.

Just like when I was in the Lakers last season, once I was targeted, I should ease it first and don’t be too stubborn.

Do a good job in assisting and other auxiliary work, wait for opportunities to act, and find opportunities to bite the opponent to death.

From this point of view, Li Liang is a little more like James. He is afraid as long as he should be, and he will never be stubborn!

Li Liang devoted his energy to defense, and the Clippers' offense relied on Paul more.

Li Liang gave Paul a cover from the outside. Paul dribbled the ball from 45 degrees from the right, circled the bottom line to the left side line, and turned around and a backward jump shot, hitting!

Paul's attack ax tonight!

After scoring a goal, Paul intercepted Curry one-on-one on the defensive end!

Li Liang stepped forward and surrounded Curry with Paul, and broke the ball from Curry's hand.

Curry made 5 mistakes in the first half.

In order not to give Li Liang a chance to attack, Curry had to foul.

The camera was given to Curry, who took off his braces and kept shaking his head.

As the momentum was about to rise, a mistake ruined the Warriors' counterattack momentum.

The offense will cause problems due to poor feel, but the defense often won't deceive you, Li Liang is very clear about this.

After an official timeout, both sides returned to the stadium and the game continued.

At this time, the Warriors' defensive counterattack changed.

Mark Jackson no longer asked Curry to defend Paul, but instead used Klay Thompson.

Jackson knew that he could not let Paul fight like this anymore. The more he hit Paul, the better he felt, and he was almost unable to stop him.

But when a superstar comes, it feels that it is not so easy to defend against.

Sure enough, Thompson fouled while defending Paul and sent Paul to the free throw line.

Paul made both free throws, and the score difference widened again at 49:40.

Li Liang was very satisfied with Paul's performance, "I'm soaking, I'm good at hitting, come and touch my head."

Li Liang stepped forward and touched Paul's head, but Paul did not refuse.

You should know that Paul is notoriously tall and has a high spirit, and he hates being touched by people the most.

But once Li Liang used this [Tim Duncan's Head Touch Kill], no one could stop him.

Then, the Warriors' ball handler became Iguodala, while Curry ran without the ball. With the help of a cover, he circled a lot and took a three-pointer from the right side to catch Iguodala's pass!

The balls came out of the basket and did not enter.

Li Liang knew that his opportunity was coming!

He ran towards the frontcourt like a mad dog, getting rid of Iguodala.

Paul's pass came as scheduled as if he had eyes, and Li Liang received the ball from the right bottom corner.

Li Liang did not make too many adjustments, he knew this was his point!

Three-pointer at the bottom corner, hit the target with a hand!

It was too late for Iguodala to chase after him.

Seeing the ball enter, Iguodala was quite discouraged and tried her best to defend, but he still seized the opportunity.

This is Li Liang's usual style. He can steal and seize a slight opportunity and give his opponent the biggest blow.

However, if Li Liang just sneaks around, he will not be the best player in the Clippers.

At least in the first half, the real engine of the Clippers was still Chris Paul.

At 52:40, the Clippers widened the gap to as much as 12 points.

Of course the Warriors won't give up, they are a very tenacious team.

Since the empty cut and the counter-running tactics are no longer useful, the Warriors players began to use their personal abilities to attack.

This is how basketball games are. At the beginning, both sides play tactics in a proper manner. The leading side will play smoothly, and the tactics will often become more and more active.

If the backward side plays poorly, either adjusts and strengthens the defense, or depends on the player's personal ability.

Klay Thompson used his strength to force Butler, and then shot at the basket.

Jordan came over to grab the hat, but was blown to the ball.

Jordan learned nothing from Howard, and learned to interfere with the ball.

Of course, the fans on the scene thought it was a good hat, and there was booing in the stadium.

Then, Thompson faced Paul again. This time he did not foul, but instead gave a "great-defence".

Paul faced Thompson and dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, and could not get rid of it even when he changed backwards.

He and Griffin covered the pick-and-roll twice, but in the end he failed to break through Thompson's defense. He forced his move to the point where he did not touch the three.

24 seconds violation.

Then, Thompson received the ball again, dribbled one-on-one horizontally, and made a backward jump shot.

But Li Liang blocked the ball from behind!

Thompson had no idea that Li Liang on the other side reacted so quickly, so he was unprepared.

Li Liang pulled the ball out of Thompson's hand and handed it back to Paul.

Then, Li Liang ran to 45 degrees on the right, and Paul passed the ball to Li Liang tacitly.

Iguodala wanted to catch up, but it was too late.

Li Liang made another three-pointer and scored again!

Although this ball still relies on counterattack and has not yet established a foothold by playing, he can just get the ball in. What can you do?

However, Thompson immediately responded with a three-pointer, and he received David Lee's pass 45 degrees from the left and made a direct shot.
