Chapter 414: Change the way of play(1/2)
??Mike Brown does want to play some tricks on the Clippers' defense, but this is the first game after the adjustment, and he can't play big tricks even if he plays.
The team conducted adjusted defensive training yesterday. With Mike Brown's support, Rivers naturally took Butler from the position.
Because Barnes replaced Butler, the two were similar in seniority and had similar personalities, so there was no big problem.
After putting Barnes as the shooting guard, the Clippers' defensive height has been strengthened and their autonomous offensive ability has been slightly weaker.
But in fact, after Li Liang had the ability to hold the ball, Butler's ability to hold the ball was relatively unnecessary.
At the Mavericks, Butler was the team's third scoring point, second only to Nowitzki and Terry, almost at the same level as Terry.
As a result, without Butler, the defensive Stevenson was replaced, and the Mavericks became more and more courageous in the battle, winning the championship all the way.
It’s not because of Butler’s cancer. If Butler does not reimburse, the Mavericks’ road to winning will definitely be smoother.
But because, in a stable lineup, too many ball points will overlap and consume each other because there is only one ball.
Brown suggested putting Barnes in the spotlight, not only for defensive considerations, but also for offensive considerations.
There are already three ball-drawing points, including Paul, Li Liang and Griffin, and adding Butler is a waste.
It would be better to put him on the bench and come on as a substitute to increase firepower to the second team.
Brown thought very well, and the specific gameplay depends on the results of the game.
Because Barnes's three-pointer on the outside, you have to say that there is, but it does, but it is really not very effective at critical moments.
Barnes didn't have three points when he entered nBa in his early years. He was purely trained by him a day after tomorrow, not a talented player like Li Liang.
A big problem with pitchers trained through strong training is that they are not very reliable at critical moments because they rely too much on muscle memory and rhythm.
In the sport of basketball, when the sea is invincible and the world is in harmony, it is talent.
However, it is absolutely no problem to use Barnes in the regular season.
But Barnes is 33 years old this year and has been playing as a small forward. How to face young defenders in the shooting guard position will be a problem.
Jeff Van Gundy expressed some doubts about this while the game had not started, but he believed that the entire league's overall second position was declining, so maybe there was no need to worry too much.
At this time the game began, Jordan Jr. competed for the ball, and the Clippers took the lead in attacking.
Perkins will miss the game for about a month due to a hip injury, and the replacement of rookie Adams.
The head coach would rather use new player Adams than use the second-tier show in the lineup. Tabit, known as "Mutombo's second", is enough to show that Tabit is really not capable.
It was really... normal operation for Grizzlies to choose him with the second place.
In the first goal of the game, Li Liang used the cover to catch the ball and missed the jump shot.
But Adams made a rebound foul, and then the Clippers played a beautiful high and low post cooperation.
Griffin received the ball from a high position and passed the ball to Jordan Jr., who made a heavy dunk at the basket.
It can be seen that the New Zealand boy is still very tender and made two consecutive mistakes in the first attack at the beginning.
However, he was born in 1993 and is still very young, just 20 years old this year.
On the Thunder's offensive end, Westbruce also received the ball at a low post and missed it.
Griffin got the backcourt rebound.
Then Adams continued to pay the tuition fee.
After Griffin and Paul picked and rolled, Griffin cut inside and received the ball, and missed the ball after a fake move.
Adams grabbed the backcourt rebound, but Li Liang took it out from behind - where did this guy come out?
Li Liang threw the ball towards Adams when he was about to go out of bounds!
Li Liang just threw it casually, trying to smash the ball out of bounds, but the ball accidentally hit Adams' crotch...
The ball bounced out of bounds, but Adams also became a disciple of the Crotch Cover Sect, looking in pain.
The ball rights still belong to the Clippers. Li Liang hurriedly stepped forward and patted Adams, expressing his apology.
Although Li Liang is cheating when playing basketball, he has basically no dirty moves.
Even if he played in the 6O and 7O games in the mission, his opponents were so savage, Li Liang just defeated his opponents in basketball, and would not be the same as his opponents.
In Li Liang's opinion, dirty can make you a winner. There are not many players in nBa who rely on dirty to help the team win the championship in nBa.
But dirty cannot make you a king, and a real king will never use despicable means.
Malone and Stockton cannot win the championship, and there are some reasons for this.
Chris Paul has always had a "dirty" comment, and Li Liang hopes to correct his approach to tricks.
Adams recovered, and the young man said nothing.
The Clippers played a very clever cooperation with each other.
Li Liang held the ball at a high position, Griffin followed by a fake pick-and-roll, and Li Liang broke through in the middle and passed the ball to Griffin.
The moment Griffin received the ball, he didn't stop for too long, and he threw one high to the inside line. Jordan Jr. received the ball with one hand and dunked!
The combination is simply smooth and seamless, and Stamps cheers.
Li Liang, Jordan Jr. and Griffin high-fives, and the tacit understanding between them is increasing.
Adams still missed Jordan Jr.
4:o.
The Thunder need points.
Westbrook stood up and took the ball and broke through the basket with three people on the outside. A beautiful loop escaped the block and made a layup with a low hand!
Didn't enter...
The Clippers got the rebound and counterattacked, Paul held the ball and passed halftime, and the Thunder were forced to switch defenses.
Adams faced Paul again, but Paul was overtaken by one, and the basket was empty, and Paul easily made a layup with his right hand.
Young man, it's really a young man. Adams was beaten three times in a row at the beginning.
All three goals conceded are directly related to him. Welcome to nBa.
Brooks did not call a timeout, but the attack failed to make an attack. In the counterattack, Li Liang scored a three-pointer and penetrated his heart. 9:o, finally he was willing to call a timeout.
This is how nBa's coaches are. They don't cry until they see the coffin. They have to be beaten so hard that they can't get up. They are called pause.
Popovich is much more powerful in this regard. It doesn’t feel good in one round. He paused for you in the first 30 seconds and then started scolding.
The opening 9:o, the Clippers are in good momentum, as if they were back to the games at the beginning of the season.
However, if the Thunder are like the Lakers and can be easily defeated in one quarter, they are not the Thunder.
After the pause came back, Thunder's counterattack came.
It was still Westbrook's breakthrough, but this time he knew he had passed the ball after breaking through.
After attracting two people to defend, Ibaka who was directly passing by to the basket, Ibaka made a dunk!
Then, Li Liang responded at a high position and gave the ball to Griffin.
Griffin turned around and caught the ball at the basket, but the layup was blocked by Ibaka.
The Thunder counterattacked, Durant's strong breakthrough with the ball caused Li Liang to foul.
Durant felt angry when facing Li Liang.
Last season in the Western Conference Finals, their dream of winning was disturbed by Li Liang and the Lakers.
I was thinking about taking revenge in the new season, but I didn’t know that Li Liang actually ran away!
If you have a habit, don’t... Actually, Li Liang is still in Los Angeles, but he just changed his team.
Durant hit the free throw line and made the first free throw.
Li Liang was talking to Durant on the side, saying that "drinking bath water" could no longer interfere with Durant at this time.
He is no longer the fledgling young boy, he will be so easily affected.
"If you can't win the championship in the Thunder, why not join us! Or follow me and guarantee a championship! 100%!"
With a "bang", Durant failed to make the second free throw...
Durant's free throw shooting percentage was very high, but he didn't expect to make it by just saying it casually.
Judging from their operations for two consecutive summers, the Thunder did not want to win the championship at all.
This free throw missed, and Li Liang followed closely on the offensive end and received the ball in the first quarter of the left to hit a three-pointer.
Two three-pointers at the start, which is Li Liang that Clippers players are willing to see.
12:3, the difference is still 9 points.
Then, Durant used a beautiful running fake action to throw away Li Liang on the offensive end, cut into the middle with the wing, and then received Westbrook's pass, avoiding Jordan's defense, and his body twisted a throw-in hit.
The posture is really ugly, but the feel is really good.
Li Liang really didn't follow this ball. Durant's empty-handed running position is definitely historical. He has a sense of smell on the offensive end, which is something that ordinary players do not have.
If you want to stare at him on the defensive end, you must concentrate and not relax for a moment.
