In the middle of the second quarter, the Clippers relied on Li Liang's reappearance to stabilize the situation.

However, Li Liang's swing alone did not curb the overall rebound of the Rockets' state.

The Rockets' defense enthusiasm was driven by Beverly, and he made two consecutive steals.

A fast break was used to assist Parsons in a dunk, and a ball was touched out of the sideline, destroying the Clippers' offense.

Beverly's vitality and enthusiasm are extremely contagious, which finally gives the Rockets fans a little a home viewing feeling.

Moreover, the Rockets made a very high three-point shooting percentage in the first half, making 6 of 13 three-pointers, nearly 50% of the shooting percentage.

At the end of the half game, the two sides scored 55:52, and the Rockets led the Clippers by 3 points.

McHale's lineup adjustment in this game was still effective, and the Clippers did not make a continuous quick counterattack.

The restrictions on Paul by Beverly's garbage dog are obvious. In the defense, he constantly provoked Paul and put pressure on Paul.

Parsons, Garcia, and Casby scored three-pointers to provide the Rockets with external fire support.

Jefferson reduced his singles at low posts, and his pick-and-roll threat was a bit bigger than sitting and playing.

However, the Rockets' core player, James Harden, played a mediocre shot in the first half.

He only scored 5 points and had 3 assists.

Harden failed to hit several three-pointers from the outside.

Houston has the largest strip club in the United States. I wonder if Harden went to suck his hips again last night.

In fact, when Harden played against the Lakers last season, he played very badly.

Once you meet Li Liang in the matchup, Harden will easily suffer.

Harden's strength in playing basketball lies in his sense of rhythm, strong body, and smart playing style.

But when you meet Li Liang, you will be a little confused. What Li Liang is most afraid of is the rhythm flow. As for a strong body, can you be as strong as James?

Although your name is James, too.

As for being smart, can you be as smart as Li Liang?

Li Liang used to play basketball without talent, but he only relied on his brain.

His brain that played on the court was enough to eat zombies for a year.

Harden wanted to cheat and foul on Li Liang, and the time difference was that he was more male than male.

Harden himself also showed up. Every time he played against the Lakers, his tricks of cheating free throws were no longer effective.

It is useless to explain to the referee. If you can cheat someone after a while, the referee will have to come forward and explain to Li Liang.

For example, in the first half, Harden caused Li Liang to make a foul, and referee Mark Davis talked to Li Liang and Yan Yuese for a while, saying why Li Liang was ordered to make a defensive foul.

After that, Harden wanted to commit a foul and it became much more difficult.

Harden himself can't figure out what the hell is from?

Everyone says that he is under the care of the referee, and this guy is the referee's godson, right?

No, this is not the godson, it is purely the referee's father.

In Harden's heart, Li Liang has become the referee's father.

Anyway, I have never seen any player receive such treatment.

However, Li Liang did not have any preferential treatment on the offensive end, and it was normal for him to give free throw whistles.

So the players in the league were just confused about this and did not express any dissatisfaction.

During the intermission, Li Liang began to swear in the Clippers' locker room.

He started to scold the team's defensive enthusiasm until the players were not tidy.

Li Liang's shoelaces have always been tied very neatly, which is the experience he learned from John Wooden.

And he had shoelaces that Wudeng gave him on his shoes, so he never sprained his ankle.

Li Liang said this just to say that the Clippers players did not really take the defense seriously.

The Clippers have always played well in offense, and their first three games were even more powerful, which to a certain extent covered the team's shortcomings in insufficient defense.

If Li Liang can endure one game or two games, he can't keep it.

Especially if it is in the playoffs, there will be problems with the Clippers' defense.

Li Liang turned on the hair dryer and buzzed for a full fifteen minutes, making Rivers unable to even insert his mouth.

Rivers initially thought, who is the team's head coach?

And you are a young player, is it appropriate to criticize old players like this?

As he listened, Rivers felt that, alas, it seemed that what he said made some sense, listen.

If you continue listening, although Li Liang's words are fierce, every sentence hits the team's defensive shortcomings and key points, and also hits Rivers' heart.

Rivers built a strong defensive team in the Celtics. Although he had to teach according to his aptitude when he arrived at the Celtics, he could not continue to pursue the Celtics' style.

But defense cannot be lost. Any team that wants to win the championship must not have any major problems in defense.

Judging from the performances of the Clippers after the start of the season, there is really something wrong.

Rivers and the coaching staff have been looking for solutions, but they are not very anxious.

nBa coach is a job in the final analysis. If the team's strength is still acceptable for the time being, then there is no need to rush to solve the problem.

But Li Liang is anxious, the father of the system and the descendant of many legendary coaches, so he is not allowed to sit and watch the team defend the defense in this way.

A series of incisive analysis and criticism made the entire Clippers' locker room quiet.

Not only that, everyone nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Jamison, a former Lakers player, said to himself: "What I said is that Bruce's speech makes sense and he is fair."

Look, if you get scolded a lot, you still think he is fair.

After Li Liang finished speaking, Rivers asked, "What should we do?"

Li Liang said: "I want to know what to do, what else do you want to do? I don't know, but I will do everything I can."

Li Liang really doesn't know that he has ideas, but he understands that putting some ideas into practice requires very rich experience and considerable coaching ability.

Li Liang can do it, but if you really ask him to propose a solution to the team, he really can't do it.

Therefore, Li Liang is also a big troll.

After the halftime break, the players on both sides returned to the field.

The Clippers players were a little confused and were scolded, but they didn't feel angry, but instead felt it made sense.

Li Liang's brainwashing of the entire Clippers team has begun.

...

During the intermission, the Toyota Center also held a commendation of U.S. Air Force soldiers, who are ethnic minorities, to strengthen the patriotic beliefs of people of all skin colors in the United States of America.

It can be said that American patriotism education is absolutely free of blind spots in all directions, and it silently penetrates into the hearts of every general public.

In this regard, there is still a gap between Li Liang's hair dryer and the American publicity department.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets still used the double towers at the beginning of the first quarter.

It seems that McHale did not realize that the Twin Towers were not effective against the Clippers.

The Rockets' first offense made Jefferson play singles at a low post, but the ball was knocked out by Jordan Jr. before it could be shot.

Jordan Jr. wanted to pass the ball and Paul made a quick counterattack, but Beverly suddenly entered and broke the ball!

If it weren't for the fact that the force was too strong and he would hit Beverly's feet and flew out of bounds, Beverly would have had another steal.

Li Liang said directly to Jordan Jr.: "Pass the ball to me!"

Li Liang was very dissatisfied with Paul's possession of the ball tonight, and he should stand up and share the burden.

Li Liang held the ball through the half, first passing the ball to Butler over-the-top, and then went around to the right and received the ball again.

After receiving the ball, he used Jordan Jr.'s cover to break through the middle, and then stopped at the free throw line and jumped!

It caused Parsons' foul and free throw!

Parsons shook his head. Li Liang had more and more tricks. After cutting into the pick-and-roll at a high position, he would do it?

He didn't know that Li Liangdae was learning jump shots with Alan Houston, so he could still do this.

Both free throws were made, and the score was close to 1 point.

The Rockets missed the outside shot, the Clippers got a rebound, and the quick counterattack was damaged.

But Li Liang found an opportunity on the outside, and used Griffin's wall 45 degrees on the right to catch the ball and hit the jump shot.

Li Liang flew up from mid-range shot tonight, and he actually felt it.

The Rockets originally wanted to strictly guard Li Liang's three-pointer, but they didn't know that his mid-range shot was also fatal.

Harden must stand up at this time. He held the ball from the right, and Li Liang asked Butler to walk away to face Parsons. He wanted to defend Harden himself.
