?Li Liang's feeling is not unfounded. Although the Clippers started today and the Nets' offense was bad enough, the Nets' overall situation was not in chaos.

Kidd insisted not to call a timeout because he believed in the adjustment ability of veterans on the field.

When Pierce and Bratch came on the court, the Nets' offense improved significantly.

With the situation dominant, the Clippers' signature quick counterattack was not made, and the stormy and stormy basket impact was not made.

The continuous away games are still exhausting after all, and the Clippers' lead is due to the good start.

It's very unreliable to feel something like a hand.

A good feel will be contagious, and a bad feel will also come suddenly.

The Nets suddenly felt in the last part of the first quarter.

Lopez made a buzzer-beating mid-range jump shot from the three-point line.

Paul Pierce hit a three-pointer at the last moment, helping the Nets catch up to 26:19, and 7 points away from the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the problems of the Clippers in this game began to become prominent - they don't have a good front line anymore.

Caron Butler and Matt Barnes were both absent due to injury in this game, and Rivers could only continue to send Jamison as a substitute forward and Griffin partner.

Jamison actually played very well on the offensive end after he came on the court. He scored 6 points in a row in the second quarter, helping the Clippers maintain their advantage.

But the problem is that Jamison can no longer keep up on the defense on the court, and there is no way to talk about rebound protection.

The Nets fought back under the leadership of Paul Pierce.

The Nets' second lineup significantly improved the intensity of confrontation and defense, causing continuous offensive mistakes in the Clippers.

If Nets' substitute guard Livingston hadn't played badly enough, the Nets would have tied the score with the fastest.

As a former genius player, Livingston returned to the nBa arena after experiencing a terrifying broken leg injury.

However, he made a substitute for Deron in this game and failed to seize several opportunities in the second quarter, and he was all the opportunities to cut at the basket and layup.

He has a good awareness, no problem with passing or receiving the ball.

It was just that when I made a layup in the end, I was easily disturbed and missed.

Because his legs are not strong anymore.

He had broken his legs and could not pull out the onion on the dry land like he used to do, so he could only make a layup with difficulty, but he was disturbed and missed.

There is also a fast break counterattack, break through and layup, and the ones that are strong in the end are always unable to get up, either slipping or being stolen.

It can only be said that the impact of injuries on a player is too great.

Li Liang sat down on the court and watched Deron Williams and Livingston perform badly, thinking that no matter how ugly or smelly, the system's knee pads, elbow pads and socks should be worn.

The second quarter took four minutes, and when Paul Pierce hit another three-pointer, the score between the two sides was already tied!

The Clippers made the Nets make a mistake in the defensive end, but Bradsour rushed over and was intercepted again.

Paul Pierce seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer from the outside.

Rivers had to call a timeout. Pierce, a veteran, is indeed a good player to take the bench, and Griffin is still a bit worse in this regard.

Compared with the Lakers' Gasol, Griffin's ability as a tactical center axis is much worse.

The defender who appeared with Griffin was Crawford, Bledsoe, who was not very good at organizing.

Once the opponent's defense controls Griffin catches the ball, there will be problems with the Clippers' second-team offense.

Because Butler and Barnes were absent, the Clippers' forward line was weak tonight.

Rivers once sent a combination of three death guards from Crawford, Darren Collison and Bledsoe on the court, resulting in two frontcourt rebounds and being chased by the Nets.

Li Liang didn't even understand what Rivers was thinking, and said, "Will you let me get early without a forward line? Although I get less money, I get more points! Let me sit and watch, it's timeout if the tie is called a pause?"

Rivers just nodded, he was a little dizzy from the hair dryer.

When he first came to the Clippers, Rivers also had the dignity and pride of being a head coach. After all, he was a professional player, after all, he was a champion coach, and after all, he was a master of chicken soup.

He has his own basketball philosophy and coaching philosophy, he has unique wisdom and rich experience.

And now, he felt like a pig's head.

Why play as a three-back?

Hollins can still be used, with one Griffin and one Jamison inside, and three short guys outside, and the defensive formation is easily dispersed, giving the Nets a lot of opportunities to go out on the outside.

Of course, the advantage of the three defenders is that the Clippers have many steals, but unfortunately, several steals have not been converted into counterattack scores.

I have to say that the Nets' defense is still good and quite stable under Kidd's training.

After Rivers called for a timeout, Li Liang appeared again to replace Griffin.

Griffin played a bit frustrated. He was originally the core of the second team, but he couldn't get the ball and didn't get a single point.

Bledsoe and Crawford both tried to pass the ball to Griffin, but the Nets did a good job of defense and did not give Griffin a good chance to play singles with the ball.

Without Paul, Li Liang's pass and defense attracted him, Griffin played very hard.

When this rotation was just implemented, Griffin was still able to play well. Now that each team has begun to study the rotation of the Clippers, Griffin has begun to be targeted.

Of course, Griffin is not the only one targeted. As a hot star in the league, Li Liang has begun to receive fancy defensive treatment in every game.

The package that Kidd arranged for Li Liang tonight was very traditional but also very effective, and the big insider came out to delay and interfere with Li Liang.

From Garnett, Lopez, to Plumley, who was substitute, the Nets' inside line are all tall and big, all at 7 feet, which is very oppressive to the ball holder.

Moreover, the Nets' big man didn't wait for Li Liang to enter the three-point line to defend, even if he was outside the three-point line, he would follow.

Even if Li Liang passes the ball to Jordan Jr. to assist and dunk, the Nets will not change their defensive strategy.

At worst, I can just foul Jordan and send him to the free throw line. It's better than Li Liang getting a chance to take a three-pointer from the outside, right?

The teams have reached a point of extreme fear for Li Liang's three-pointer.

Try various defensive methods one by one, as long as Li Liang doesn't feel outrageous, he can always play a role.

Garnett is the strongest inside player in the league to oppress the ball-holder. Even if he is 37 years old, his consciousness, experience, and command ability cannot be underestimated.

The Clippers' offense once stagnated, and although the Nets' offense was not much better, Deron Williams finally recovered in form.

He made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, helping the Nets reverse the score!

Rivers saw the Clippers' main player come on the court for 2 minutes, and after four or five rounds, he didn't score a single goal. He only scored two points with free throws, and could only call another timeout.

Li Liang returned to the bench and drank a sip of water. The situation on the court was indeed not very good.

You can feel from the referee's call that after the start of the second quarter, the referee has been "finding faults".

The so-called search for trouble is to make some minor fouls.

For example, three seconds, walking, thugs while defending, and covering violations.

These fouls can be blown or not when the scale is relatively loose.

The referee basically blew it tonight, which resulted in the Clippers' offense being broken.

Except for the first half of the first quarter, the Clippers' offense behind them was scattered, with quick counterattacks in large numbers, and no further scoring was considered.

Li Liang scored two three-pointers and failed to score, and he didn't score a hundred shots.

Judging from the situation on the court, the score difference in the first half may be further widened.

Without Barnes put Butler, rebounding and fixing the defense were quite stressful.

During the short pause, Rivers asked the team to change its offensive strategy, so that Li Liang could reduce the ball holding and increase the off-ball running to pull the opponent's defense line, so that Paul had more room for movement.

Li Liang nodded in agreement that Rivers' arrangement was correct.

It just depends on how the offense feels from the rest of the team.

The timeout ended, because Paul just fouled while defending, Williams had to make a free throw first.

After both free throws, the score reached 39:45, and the difference was still 6 points.

Williams has scored 8 points and is gradually regaining his form.

His two three-pointers, especially the second one, quickly crossover changed direction and shook Paul away, and took a three-pointer backward, which was already at his peak.

When the Clippers attacked, Li Liang came to the weak side to run without the ball to attract defense, giving Paul more room for operation.

The Nets' defense uses a big switch to defend, Paul plays Lopez in a small way, and the utilization breaks through to the near free throw line, and makes a quick stop and jump shot.

The ball rolled on the basket a few times, but finally fell out and didn't go in.

Jordan Jr. grabbed the frontcourt rebound, made a layup and fouled, and went to the free throw line.

Because Li Liang attracted the defensive attention of Johnson and Garnett, no one from Jordan Jr. was involved in the position.

Jordan Jr. made two free throws at the free throw line, but the Clippers still did not score in sports games.

Then, Lopez beat Jordan Jr. with a low post, but he turned around and missed the hook.

Li Liang grabbed the rebound and pushed Paul to counterattack.

The Nets' defense was extremely fast. After Garnett retreated for half of the game, he did not forget to reach out in front of Paul.

This is a good defensive habit for the best defensive player, which leads to Paul being unable to give a good first pass.
